| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1Job continued with his discussion and said: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"The living God has withheld justice from me; the Almighty has made my life bitter. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3As long as I can breathe; as long as God's breath is in my nostrils, |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4I won't speak lies nor will I utter deceit. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Far be it from me to admit that you're right! I intend to maintain my integrity even if it kills me! |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6I'll retain my righteousness and not compromise it; my conscience won't rebuke me at any time. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7"May my enemy be like the wicked; my adversary like the unjust. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8For where is the hope of the godless when he is eliminated; when God takes away his life? |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Will God hear his cry when distress overtakes him? |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Will he take delight in the Almighty? Will he call on God at all times?" |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11"I'll teach you about the power of God, that which is with the Almighty I won't conceal. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Look! All of you have been watching, so why have you become so completely worthless? |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13"This is what a wicked person inherits from God, and what the ruthless will receive from the Almighty: |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14If he has many children, their destiny is to die by the sword, and his descendants won't have enough food. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Those who do survive him disease will bury, and his widow won't even weep. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16"Though he hoards silver like dust, and stores away garments like clay, |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17whatever he stores up, the righteous will wear, and the innocent will inherit that silver! |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18"He has built his house like a moth's cocoon, like a temporary sunshade that a watchman makes. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19He will go to bed wealthy, but won't be doing that anymore! When he opens his eyes, it will be gone! |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Terror will overtake him like a flood, at night, a tornado will sweep him away. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21He'll be swept up by a storm wind and carried away; he'll be whirled away from his place. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22It will toss him around without pity. He'll try to break free from its grip, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23but it will clap its hands over him, hissing at him as it lunges toward him." |
