|
1. And Job again took up his discourse, and said:
|
|||
|
|
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
|
|||
|
|
2. “As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter,
|
|||
|
|
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
|
|||
|
|
3. as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
|
|||
|
|
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
|
|||
|
|
4. my lips will not speak falsehood, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
|
|||
|
|
5. Far be it from me to say that you are right; till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
|
|||
|
|
6. I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go; my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
|
|||
|
|
7. “Let my enemy be as the wicked, and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
|
|||
|
|
8. For what is the hope of the godless when God cuts him off, when God takes away his life?
|
|||
|
|
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
|
|||
|
|
9. Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
|
|||
|
|
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
|
|||
|
|
10. Will he take delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
|
|||
|
|
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
|
|||
|
|
11. I will teach you concerning the hand of God; what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
|
|||
|
|
12. Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves; why then have you become altogether vain?
|
|||
|
|
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
|
|||
|
|
13. “This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage that oppressors receive from the Almighty:
|
|||
|
|
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
|
|||
|
|
14. If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword, and his descendants have not enough bread.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
|
|||
|
|
15. Those who survive him the pestilence buries, and his widows do not weep.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
|
|||
|
|
16. Though he heap up silver like dust, and pile up clothing like clay,
|
|||
|
|
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
|
|||
|
|
17. he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it, and the innocent will divide the silver.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
|
|||
|
|
18. He builds his house like a moth’s, like a booth that a watchman makes.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
|
|||
|
|
19. He goes to bed rich, but will do so no more; he opens his eyes, and his wealth is gone.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
|
|||
|
|
20. Terrors overtake him like a flood; in the night a whirlwind carries him off.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
|
|||
|
|
21. The east wind lifts him up and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
|
|||
|
|
22. It hurls at him without pity; he flees from its power in headlong flight.
|
|||
|
|
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
|
|||
|
|
23. It claps its hands at him and hisses at him from its place.
