27:1 And Job again took up his parable, and said,

27:2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my right, And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul:

27:3 (For my life is yet whole in me, And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

27:4 Surely my lips shall not speak uprighteousness, Neither shall my tongue utter deceit.

27:5 Far be it from me that I should justify you: Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me.

27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

27:7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, And let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.

27:8 For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, When God taketh away his soul?

27:9 Will God hear his cry, When trouble cometh upon him?

27:10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty, And call upon God at all times?

27:11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God; That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

27:12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; Why then are ye become altogether vain?

27:13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:

27:14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death, And his widows shall make no lamentation.

27:16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, And prepare raiment as the clay;

27:17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, And the innocent shall divide the silver.

27:18 He buildeth his house as the moth, And as a booth which the keeper maketh.

27:19 He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers; He openeth his eyes, and he is not.

27:20 Terrors overtake him like waters; A tempest stealeth him away in the night.

27:21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; And it sweepeth him out of his place.

27:22 For God shall hurl at him, and not spare: He would fain flee out of his hand.

27:23 Men shall clap their hands at him, And shall hiss him out of his place.

58:1 For the Chief Musician; set to Al-tashheth. A Psalm of David. Michtam. Do ye indeed in silence speak righteousness? Do ye judge uprightly, O ye sons of men?

58:2 Nay, in heart ye work wickedness; Ye weigh out the violence of your hands in the earth.

58:3 The wicked are estranged from the womb: They go astray as soon as they are born, speaking lies.

58:4 Their poison is like the poison of a serpent: They are like the deaf adder that stoppeth her ear,

58:5 Which hearkeneth not to the voice of charmers, Charming never so wisely.

58:6 Break their teeth, O God, in their mouth: Break out the great teeth of the young lions, O Jehovah.

58:7 Let them melt away as water that runneth apace: When he aimeth his arrows, let them be as though they were cut off.

58:8 Let them be as a snail which melteth and passeth away, Like the untimely birth of a woman, that hath not seen the sun.

58:9 Before your pots can feel the thorns, He will take them away with a whirlwind, the green and the burning alike.

58:10 The righteous shall rejoice when he seeth the vengeance: He shall wash his feet in the blood of the wicked;

58:11 So that men shall say, Verily there is a reward for the righteous: Verily there is a God that judgeth in the earth.

10:23 All things are lawful; but not all things are expedient. All things are lawful; but not all things edify.

10:24 Let no man seek his own, but each his neighbor’s good.

10:25 Whatsoever is sold in the shambles, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake;

10:26 for the earth is the Lord’s, and the fulness thereof.

10:27 If one of them that believe not biddeth you to a feast, and ye are disposed to go; whatsoever is set before you, eat, asking no question for conscience’ sake.

10:28 But if any man say unto you, This hath been offered in sacrifice, eat not, for his sake that showed it, and for conscience’ sake:

10:29 conscience, I say, not thine own, but the other’s; for why is my liberty judged by another conscience?

10:30 If I partake with thankfulness, why am I evil spoken of for that for which I give thanks?

10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

10:32 Give no occasion of stumbling, either to Jews, or to Greeks, or to the church of God:

10:33 even as I also please all men in all things, not seeking mine own profit, but the profit of the many, that they may be saved.
