The Scriptures 1998

Job 27:16-23 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

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!

20. Alarms overtake him like a flood; a storm wind shall steal him away in the night.

21. The east wind takes him away, and he is gone; for it sweeps him from his place.

22. And it hurls itself against him and does not spare; he swiftly flees from its power.

23. It claps its hands at him, and it hisses him out of his place.
