1 -Job continued his discourse:
2 -“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice—the Almighty, who has embittered my soul—
3 -as long as my breath is still within me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils,
4 -my lips will not speak wickedness, and my tongue will not utter deceit.
5 -I will never say that you are right; I will maintain my integrity until I die.
6 -I will cling to my righteousness and never let go. As long as I live, my conscience will not accuse me.
7 -May my enemy be like the wicked and my opponent like the unjust.
8 -For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
9 -Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
10 -Will he delight in the Almighty? Will he call upon God at all times?
11 -I will instruct you in the power of God. I will not conceal the ways of the Almighty.
12 -Surely all of you have seen it for yourselves. Why then do you keep up this empty talk?
13 -This is the wicked man’s portion from God—the heritage the ruthless receive from the Almighty.
14 -Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; and his offspring will never have enough food.
15 -His survivors will be buried by the plague, and their widows will not weep for them.
16 -Though he heaps up silver like dust and piles up a wardrobe like clay,
17 -what he lays up, the righteous will wear, and his silver will be divided by the innocent.
18 -The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon, like a hut set up by a watchman.
19 -He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more; when he opens his eyes, all is gone.
20 -Terrors overtake him like a flood; a tempest sweeps him away in the night.
21 -The east wind carries him away, and he is gone; it sweeps him out of his place.
22 -It hurls itself against him without mercy as he flees headlong from its power.
23 -It claps its hands at him and hisses him out of his place.
