Job 27:10-23 King James 2000 (KJ2000)

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.

23. Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
