New Testament

Job 27:9-20 American Standard Version (ASV)

9. Will God hear his cry, When trouble cometh upon him?

10. Will he delight himself in the Almighty, And call upon God at all times?

11. I will teach you concerning the hand of God; That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

12. Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; Why then are ye become altogether vain?

13. This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from 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 make no lamentation.

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 the moth, And as a booth which the keeper maketh.

19. He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers; He openeth his eyes, and he is not.

20. Terrors overtake him like waters; A tempest stealeth him away in the night.
