1 - And Job addeth to lift up his simile, and saith: --

2 - God liveth! He turned aside my judgment, And the Mighty--He made my soul bitter.

3 - For all the while my breath <FI>is<Fi> in me, And the spirit of God in my nostrils.

4 - My lips do not speak perverseness, And my tongue doth not utter deceit.

5 - Pollution to me--if I justify you, Till I expire I turn not aside mine integrity from me.

6 - On my righteousness I have laid hold, And I do not let it go, My heart doth not reproach me while I live.

7 - As the wicked is my enemy, And my withstander as the perverse.

8 - For what <FI>is<Fi> the hope of the profane, When He doth cut off? When God doth cast off his soul?

9 - His cry doth God hear, When distress cometh on him?

10 - On the Mighty doth he delight himself? Call God at all times?

11 - I shew you by the hand of God, That which <FI>is<Fi> with the Mighty I hide not.

12 - Lo, ye--all of you--have seen, And why <FI>is<Fi> this--ye are altogether vain?

13 - This <FI>is<Fi> the portion of wicked man with God, And the inheritance of terrible ones From the Mighty they receive.

14 - If his sons multiply--for them <FI>is<Fi> a sword. And his offspring <FI>are<Fi> not satisfied <FI>with<Fi> bread.

15 - His remnant in death are buried, And his widows do not weep.

16 - If he heap up as dust silver, And as clay prepare clothing,

17 - He prepareth--and the righteous putteth <FI>it<Fi> on, And the silver the innocent doth apportion.

18 - He hath built as a moth his house, And as a booth a watchman hath made.

19 - Rich he lieth down, and he is not gathered, His eyes he hath opened, and he is not.

20 - Overtake him as waters do terrors, By night stolen him away hath a whirlwind.

21 - Take him up doth an east wind, and he goeth, And it frighteneth him from his place,

22 - And it casteth at him, and doth not spare, From its hand he diligently fleeth.

23 - It clappeth at him its hands, And it hisseth at him from his place.
