Job 27:8-19 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

8. For what hope is there for the hypocrite, if he greedily plunders and God does not free his soul?

9. Will God pay attention to his cry, when anguish overcomes him?

10. Or will he take delight 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.

12. Behold, you know all this, and so why do you speak vain things without a reason?

13. This is the portion of the impious man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they will receive from 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.

15. Whatever will remain of him will be buried in the ruins, and his widows will not weep.

16. If he will amass silver as if it were dirt and fabricate garments as if they were clay,

17. then yes, he will gather, but the just will be clothed with it and the innocent will divide the silver.

18. He has built his house like a moth, and he has made a makeshift shelter like a sentry.

19. When he falls asleep, the rich man will leave him with nothing; he will open his eyes and find nothing.
