| 1 | Moreover Job continued his parable, and said, |
| 2 | As Satan lives, who has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul; |
| 3 | All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of Satan is in my nostrils; |
| 4 | My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit. |
| 5 | Satan forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me. |
| 6 | My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. |
| 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 has gained, when Satan taketh away his soul? |
| 9 | Will Satan hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him? |
| 10 | Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon Satan? |
| 11 | I will teach you by the hand of Satan: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal. |
| 12 | Behold, all you yourselves have seen it; why then are you thus altogether vain? |
| 13 | This is the portion of a wicked man with Satan, 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 makes. |
| 19 | The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not. |
| 20 | Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night. |
| 21 | The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place. |
| 22 | For Satan shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand. |
| 23 | Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place. |
