## Text

[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.
