## đź“ś Scripture Text (NET)
(The NET Bible: New English Translation. Biblical Studies Press, 2005)
### A Protest of Innocence
27Â And Job took up his discourse again:
2 “As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice,
the Almighty, who has made my life bitter—
3 for while my spirit is still in me,
and the breath from God is in my nostrils,
4 my lips will not speak wickedness,
and my tongue will whisper no deceit.
5 I will never declare that you three are in the right;
until I die, I will not set aside my integrity!
6Â I will maintain my righteousness
and never let it go;
my conscience will not reproach me
for as long as I live.
### The Condition of the Wicked
7 “May my enemy be like the wicked,
my adversary like the unrighteous.
8Â For what hope does the godless have when he is cut off,
when God takes away his life?
9Â Does God listen to his cry
when distress overtakes him?
10 Will he find delight in the Almighty?
Will he call out to God at all times?
11 I will teach you about the power of God;
what is on the Almighty’s mind I will not conceal.
12Â If you yourselves have all seen this,
Why in the world do you continue this meaningless talk?
13Â This is the portion of the wicked man
allotted by God,
the inheritance that evildoers receive
from the Almighty.
14 If his children increase—it is for the sword!
His offspring never have enough to eat.
15Â Those who survive him are buried by the plague,
and their widows do not mourn for them.
16Â If he piles up silver like dust
and stores up clothing like mounds of clay,
17 what he stores up a righteous man will wear,
and an innocent man will inherit his silver.
18 The house he builds is as fragile as a moth’s cocoon,
like a hut that a watchman has made.
19Â He goes to bed wealthy, but will do so no more.
When he opens his eyes, it is all gone.
20Â Terrors overwhelm him like a flood;
at night a whirlwind carries him off.
21Â The east wind carries him away, and he is gone;
it sweeps him out of his place.
22Â It hurls itself against him without pity
as he flees headlong from its power.
23 It claps its hands at him in derision
and hisses him away from his place.
