Job 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Job 27:2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; Job 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils; Job 27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. Job 27:5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. Job 27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. Job 27:7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous. Job 27:8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul? Job 27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? Job 27:10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God? Job 27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. Job 27:12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain? Job 27:13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty. Job 27:14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread. Job 27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep. Job 27:16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay; Job 27:17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver. Job 27:18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh. Job 27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. Job 27:20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. Job 27:21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. Job 27:22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. Job 27:23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. Job 28:1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it. Job 28:2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone. Job 28:3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death. Job 28:4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men. Job 28:5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire. Job 28:6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold. Job 28:7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen: Job 28:8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it. Job 28:9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots. Job 28:10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing. Job 28:11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light. Job 28:12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding? Job 28:13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living. Job 28:14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me. Job 28:15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof. Job 28:16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire. Job 28:17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold. Job 28:18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies. Job 28:19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold. Job 28:20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding? Job 28:21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air. Job 28:22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears. Job 28:23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof. Job 28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven; Job 28:25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure. Job 28:26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder: Job 28:27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out. Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding. |
