Job Continues: I Will Maintain My Integrity

1And Job again 27:1 ch. 29:1; See Num. 23:7took up his discourse, and said:

2“As God lives, who has 27:2 ch. 34:5taken away my right,

and the Almighty, who has 27:2 [Ruth 1:20; 2 Kgs. 4:27]made my soul bitter,

3as long as my breath is in me,

and 27:3 ch. 33:4; [Gen. 2:7]the spirit of God is in my nostrils,

4my lips will not speak 27:4 ch. 13:7falsehood,

and my tongue will not utter 27:4 ch. 13:7deceit.

5Far be it from me to say that you are right;

till I die I will not put away my 27:5 ch. 2:3, 9; [ch. 13:15]integrity from me.

6I 27:6 ch. 2:3hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go;

my heart does not 27:6 [Acts 23:1; 24:16; 1 Cor. 4:4]reproach me for any of my days.

7“Let my enemy be as the wicked,

and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

827:8 See ch. 8:13For what is the hope of the godless 27:8 Matt. 16:26; [Luke 12:20]when God cuts him off,

when God takes away his life?

927:9 Ps. 18:41; Prov. 1:28; 15:29; Isa. 1:15; Jer. 11:11; 14:12; Ezek. 8:18; Mic. 3:4; Zech. 7:13; [ch. 35:12, 13]; See Ps. 66:18Will God hear his cry

when distress comes upon him?

10Will he 27:10 See ch. 22:26take delight in the Almighty?

Will he call upon God at all times?

11I will teach you concerning the hand of God;

27:11 ch. 10:13; 23:14what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

12Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves;

why then have you become altogether vain?

1327:13 ch. 20:29; [ch. 18:21; 31:2] “This is the portion of a wicked man with God,

and the heritage that 27:13 ch. 6:23; 15:20oppressors receive from the Almighty:

14If his 27:14 Deut. 28:41; Hos. 9:13, 16children are multiplied, it is for 27:14 Jer. 15:2the sword,

and his descendants have not enough bread.

15Those who survive him the pestilence buries,

and his 27:15 Ps. 78:64widows do not weep.

16Though he 27:16 Zech. 9:3heap up silver like dust,

and pile up clothing like clay,

17he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,

and 27:17 [Prov. 13:22; Eccles. 2:26]the innocent will divide the silver.

18He builds his 27:18 ch. 8:14, 15house like a moth’s,

like 27:18 Isa. 1:8a booth that 27:18 Song 1:6; 8:11, 12a watchman makes.

19He goes to bed rich, but will 27:19 Jer. 8:2; Ezek. 29:5do so no more;

he opens his eyes, and 27:19 ch. 24:24his wealth is gone.

2027:20 See ch. 18:11Terrors overtake him like 27:20 See ch. 22:11a flood;

in the night a whirlwind 27:20 ch. 34:20, 25; 36:20carries him off.

2127:21 [ch. 30:22] The east wind lifts him up and he is gone;

it 27:21 ch. 8:18sweeps him out of his place.

22It27:22 Or He (that is, God); also verse 23 hurls at him 27:22 ch. 16:13without pity;

he flees from its27:22 Or his; also verse 23 power in headlong flight.

23It 27:23 Lam. 2:15; Ezek. 25:6; Nah. 3:19claps its hands at him

and 27:23 [2 Chr. 29:8; Jer. 49:17; Lam. 2:15; Ezek. 27:36; Zeph. 2:15]hisses at him from its place.
