Part 23

18:027:003 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

18:027:004 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

18:027:005 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

18:027:006 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

18:027:007 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

18:027:008 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

18:027:009 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

18:027:010 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?

18:027:011 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

18:027:012 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?

18:027:013 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

18:027:014 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

18:027:015 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.

18:027:016 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

18:027:017 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

18:027:018 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

18:027:019 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

18:027:020 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

18:027:021 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.

18:027:022 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

18:027:023 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

18:028:001 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.

18:028:002 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.

18:028:003 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

18:028:004 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.

18:028:005 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.

18:028:006 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.

18:028:007 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
