Job 27:7-22 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

7. Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he that rises up against me as the unrighteous.

8. For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?

9. Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him?

10. Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?

11. I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

12. Behold, all you yourselves have seen it; why then are you thus altogether vain?

13. This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

14. If his children are 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 not weep.

16. Though he heap up silver as the dust, and pile up clothing as the clay;

17. He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

18. He builds his house like a moth, and like a booth that the keeper makes.

19. The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he opens his eyes, and he is not.

20. Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest steals him away in the night.

21. The east wind carries him away, and he is gone: and as a storm hurls him out of his place.

22. For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would scarcely flee out of his hand.
