Job 27 — GMV

27 Verse 1 And Job further continued and said in his parable, ^{Verse 2} As God lives, who has thus judged me; ^{Verse 3} Verily, while my breath is yet in me, ^{Verse 4} My lips shall not speak evil words, ^{Verse 5} Far be it from me that I should justify you till I die; ^{Verse 6} But keeping fast to my righteousness I will by no means let it go: ^{Verse 7} Nay rather, but let mine enemies be as the overthrow of the ungodly, ^{Verse 8} For what is the hope of the ungodly, that he holds to it? ^{Verse 9} Will God hear his prayer? ^{Verse 10} Has he any confidence before him? ^{Verse 11} Yet now I will tell you what is in the hand of the Lord: ^{Verse 12} Behold, ye all know that ye are adding vanity to vanity. ^{Verse 13} This is the portion of an ungodly man from the Lord, ^{Verse 14} And if their children be many, they shall be for slaughter: ^{Verse 15} And they that survive of him shall utterly perish, ^{Verse 16} Even if he should gather silver as earth, ^{Verse 17} All these things shall the righteous gain, ^{Verse 18} And his house is gone like moths, and like a spider’s web. ^{Verse 19} The rich man shall lie down, and shall not continue: ^{Verse 20} Pains have come upon him as water, ^{Verse 21} And a burning wind shall catch him, and he shall depart, ^{Verse 22} And God shall cast trouble upon him, and not spare: ^{Verse 23} He shall cause men to clap their hands against them,
