New Testament

Job 27:11-19 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

11. Let me teach you by the hand of Ěl, that which is with the Almighty I do not hide.

12. See, all of you have seen it. Why then are you altogether vain?

13. This is the portion of a wrong man with Ěl, and the inheritance of cruel ones, which they receive from the Almighty:

14. If his children are increased, it is for the sword; and his offspring shall not have enough to eat.

15. Those who remain of him are buried in death, and their widows do not weep.

16. Though he heaps up silver like dust, and lays up garments like clay –

17. he lays up, but the righteous puts it on, and the innocent divides the silver.

18. He built his house like a moth, like a booth which a watchman made.

19. He lies down, a rich man, but he is not gathered. When he opens his eyes, it is no more!
