Job 27:7-23

Job 27:7-23

[7] Let mine enemy  be as the wicked,  and he that riseth up  against me as the unrighteous.  [8] For what is the hope  of the hypocrite,  though he hath gained,  when God  taketh away  his soul?  [9] Will God  hear  his cry  when trouble  cometh  [10] Will he delight  himself in the Almighty?  will he always  call  upon God?  [11] I will teach  you by the hand  of God:  that which is with the Almighty  will I not conceal.  [12] Behold, all ye yourselves have seen  it; why then are ye thus altogether  vain?  [13] This is the portion  of a wicked  man  with God,  and the heritage  of oppressors,  which they shall receive  of the Almighty.  [14] If his children  be multiplied,  it is for  the sword:  and his offspring  shall not be satisfied  with bread.  [15] Those that remain  of him shall be buried  in death:  and his widows  shall not weep.  [16] Though he heap up  silver  as the dust,  and prepare  raiment  as the clay;  [17] He may prepare  it, but the just  shall put it on,  and the innocent  shall divide  the silver.  [18] He buildeth  his house  as a moth,  and as a booth  that the keeper  maketh.  [19] The rich  man shall lie down,  but he shall not be gathered:  he openeth  his eyes,  [20] Terrors  take hold  on him as waters,  a tempest  stealeth him away  in the night.  [21] The east  wind carrieth him away,  and as a storm hurleth  him out of his place.  [22] For God shall cast  upon him, and not spare:  he would fain  out of his hand.  [23] Men shall clap  their hands  at him, and shall hiss  him out of his place.
