Job 27

1 And he repeated Job to take up discourse his and he said.

Job replied again [to his three friends],

2 [by] [the] life Of God [who] he has taken away right my and [the] Almighty [who] he has made bitter self my.

“Almighty God has refused to treat me justly/fairly. He has caused me to feel bitter/resentful. But [just as surely] as he lives,

3 For all still breath my [is] in me and [the] spirit of God [is] in nostril[s] my.

as long as God’s Spirit enables me to breathe,

4 If they will speak lips my injustice and tongue my if it will utter deceit.

I will not lie; I [SYN] will not say anything to deceive anyone.

5 Far be it to me if I will declare right you until I will expire not I will put aside integrity my from me.

I will never admit that what you [three] have said is true; until the day that I die, I will insist that I have not done things that are wrong.

6 On righteousness my I have kept hold and not I will let go it not it reproaches heart my any of days my.

I will say that I am innocent, and never (say anything different/change what I say); my conscience will never reproach me as long as I live.

7 May he be like a wicked [person] enemy my and [one who] raises himself against me like an evil-doer.

“I want my enemies to be [punished] like all wicked [people are punished]; I want [God to punish] those who oppose me like [he punishes all] unrighteous [people].

8 For what? [is the] hope of a godless [person] if he will cut off if he will take away God life his.

When [it is time for] God [to] get rid of godless/wicked people and [to] cause them to die, there is absolutely nothing good [RHQ] that they can confidently expect [to happen to them].

9 ¿ Cry his will he hear - God if it will come on him distress.

When they experience troubles, (will God hear them call [out to him for help]?/God certainly will not hear them call out [to him for help].) [RHQ]

10 Or? on [the] Almighty will he take delight will he call on? God at every time.

(Will they be happy about what Almighty [God] does?/They certainly will not be happy about what Almighty [God] does.) [RHQ] (Will they [begin to] pray to him frequently?/They certainly will not [begin to] pray to him frequently.) [RHQ] [Certainly not!]

11 I will instruct you in [the] hand of God [that] which [is] with [the] Almighty not I will hide.

“I will teach you [three] something about the power [MTY] of Almighty God [MTY]; I will reveal what he is thinking.

12 There! you all of you you have seen and why? this vanity do you act in vain.

But you [three] have seen for yourselves [what God has done]; so (why are you saying such nonsense?/you should not be saying such nonsense.) [RHQ]

13 This - [is the] portion of a person wicked - with God and [the] inheritance of ruthless [people] [which] from [the] Almighty they will receive.

“[I will tell you] what Almighty God does to wicked people, the things that he does to people who oppress others.

14 If they will increase children his for [the] sword and descendants his not they will be satisfied bread.

[Even] if they have many children, [many of] those children will die in wars [MTY], and their [other] children will [die because they do] not have enough food to eat.

15 (Survivors his *Q(K)*) by death they will be buried and widows his not they will weep.

Their children who are still alive will die from diseases, and their widows will not [even] mourn for them.

16 If he will heap up like dust silver and like clay he will prepare clothing.

Sometimes [wicked people] accumulate a huge amount [SIM] of silver and pile up clothes like [SIM] those clothes were a pile of clay,

17 He will prepare [it] and a righteous [person] he will wear [it] and [the] silver [the] innocent he will divide up.

but [those wicked people will die, and then] righteous people will wear those clothes, and honest/innocent people will get their silver and divide it [among themselves].

18 He has built like moth house his and like a shelter [which] he has made a watchman.

The houses that they build are [as frail/fragile] as [SIM] spider webs, or they are like flimsy huts that watchmen live in [while they guard people’s fields].

19 Rich he will lie down and not he will be removed eyes his he opens and there not [is] it.

Wicked people are rich when they lie down [at night], but when they wake up [in the morning, they find out that] their money has disappeared.

20 It overtakes him like waters sudden terror night it steals away him a storm-wind.

“Things that terrify them [PRS] strike them like a flood [SIM]; during the night a whirlwind carries them away.

21 It will lift up him an east wind so he may go and it will whirl away him from place his.

[It is as though] the wind from the east picks them up and carries them away from their homes, and they disappear.

22 And he will throw [it] on him and not he will show pity from hand his certainly he will flee.

That wind strikes them without pitying them while they are running away, trying to escape from its force/power [MTY].

23 Someone will clap on him hands their so he may hiss on him from place his.

That wind [is like someone] clapping his hands [MET] at them [to ridicule them], howling at them wherever they run to.”
