Chapter 27.
Moreover, Job continued his parable and said,
For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh
away his soul?
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
Will he delight himself in the Almighty?
Will he always call upon God?
I will teach you by the hand of God.
That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it.
Why then are ye thus altogether vain?
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors,
which they shall receive of the Almighty.
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring
shall not be satisfied with bread.
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep,
though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay.
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the
silver.
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered.
He openeth his eyes, and he is knocked.
Terrors take hold on him as waters.
A tempest stealeth him away in the night.
The east wind carryeth him away, and he departeth.
And as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
For God shall cast upon him and not spare.
He would fain flee out of his hand.
Man shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
