Job 27
Reading Job chapter 27 in the Darby Bible, public-domain text from 1890.
Verses 1–10
1 And Job continued his parable and said,
2 [As]God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,
3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit ofGod is in my nostrils,
4 My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!
5 Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth [me] not one of my days.
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 ungodly, when [God] cutteth him off, whenGod taketh away his soul?
9 WillGod hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?
10 Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call uponGod?
