| 1 Job also added to this, using figures of speech, and he said: | 1 Job also added, taking up his parable, and said: |
| 2 As God lives, who has taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who has led my soul to bitterness, | 2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness, |
| 3 as long as my breath remains in me and the breath of God remains in my nostrils, | 3 As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils, |
| 4 my lips will not speak iniquity, nor will my tongue devise lies. | 4 My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying. |
| 5 Far be it from me that I should judge you to be right, for, until I expire, I will not withdraw from my innocence. | 5 God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence. |
| 6 I will not forsake my justification, which I have just begun to grasp, for my heart does not find blame for me in my whole life. | 6 My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life. |
| 7 Let the impious be as my enemy, and the sinful, as my adversary. | 7 Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one. |
| 8 For what hope is there for the hypocrite, if he greedily plunders and God does not free his soul? | 8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul? |
| 9 Will God pay attention to his cry, when anguish overcomes him? | 9 Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him? |
| 10 Or will he take delight in the Almighty and call upon God at all times? | 10 Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times? |
| 11 I will teach you through the hand of God, what the Almighty holds, and I will not conceal it. | 11 I will teach you by the hand of God, what the Almighty hath, and I will not conceal it. |
| 12 Behold, you know all this, and so why do you speak vain things without a reason? | 12 Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause? |
| 13 This is the portion of the impious man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they will receive from the Almighty. | 13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty. |
| 14 If his sons should happen to increase, they will be for the sword, and his grandsons will not be satisfied with bread. | 14 If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread. |
| 15 Whatever will remain of him will be buried in the ruins, and his widows will not weep. | 15 They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep. |
| 16 If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay, | 16 If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay, |
| 17 then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver. | 17 He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver. |
| 18 He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry. | 18 He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth. |
| 19 When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing. | 19 The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing. |
| 20 Destitution will surround him like water; a storm will overwhelm him in the night. | 20 Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night. |
| 21 A burning wind will pick him up and carry him away, and, like a whirlwind, it will rush him from his place. | 21 A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place. |
| 22 And it will hurl over him and will not spare him; fleeing from its power, he will go into exile. | 22 And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand he would willingly flee. |
| 23 He will clasp his hands over himself, and he will hiss at himself, while considering his situation. | 23 He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place. |
