Jobs slutliga försvarstal
27 Job fortsatte sitt försvarstal:
2 Jag svär vid den levande Guden, som har berövat mig min rätt, och inför den Allsmäktige Guden, som har bedrövat min själ,
3 att så länge jag lever och medan min ande från Gud ännu är i mig,
4 ska inte mina läppar tala något ont och min tunga inte ljuga.
5 Jag kommer aldrig att hålla med om att ni har rätt. Ända till min död ska jag hävda min oskuld.
6 Jag påstår fortfarande att jag är rättfärdig. Mitt samvete är rent, och det kommer aldrig att anklaga mig.
7 Den som säger något annat är min fiende och en ond människa.
8 Men vilket hopp har den gudlöse, när Gud berövar honom livet?
9 Kommer han att lyssna till hans klagan när problemen hopar sig?
10 Hans intresse för den Allsmäktige är ju bara tillfälligt.
11 Jag ska undervisa er om Guds kraft och inte tiga om något,
12 men egentligen behöver jag det inte, för ni har själva kunnat se vem han är. Ändå kommer ni till mig med era meningslösa påståenden.
13 Detta är det öde som väntar den ogudaktige från den Allsmäktiges hand:
14 Hur många barn han än får kommer de alla att dö genom svärd eller svält.
15 De som överlever sin far kommer att dö av sjukdomar och plågor utan att ens deras hustrur sörjer dem.
16 Om han än öser upp silver som vore det grus eller har kläder i överflöd,
17 kommer allt detta att tillfalla den rättfärdige, och den oskyldige kommer att få hand om hans silver.
18 Hans hus är skört som spindelväv och otätt som en lövhydda!
19 Han går till sängs rik men vaknar upp och finner att allt är borta.
20 Skräcken övermannar honom som en stormvind, och för honom bort i natten.
21 Tomheten tar över, och han finns inte mer.
22 Den kastar sig mot honom utan förbarmande, och han måste fly för dess kraft.
23 Man hånar honom med rop och visslingar.

Job’s Final Word to His Friends
27 And Job continued his discourse:(A)
2 “As surely as God lives, who has denied me justice,(B)
the Almighty,(C) who has made my life bitter,(D)
3 as long as I have life within me,
the breath of God(E) in my nostrils,
4 my lips will not say anything wicked,
and my tongue will not utter lies.(F)
5 I will never admit you are in the right;
till I die, I will not deny my integrity.(G)
6 I will maintain my innocence(H) and never let go of it;
my conscience(I) will not reproach me as long as I live.(J)
7 “May my enemy be like the wicked,(K)
my adversary(L) like the unjust!
8 For what hope have the godless(M) when they are cut off,
when God takes away their life?(N)
9 Does God listen to their cry
when distress comes upon them?(O)
10 Will they find delight in the Almighty?(P)
Will they call on God at all times?
11 “I will teach you about the power of God;
the ways(Q) of the Almighty I will not conceal.(R)
12 You have all seen this yourselves.
Why then this meaningless talk?
13 “Here is the fate God allots to the wicked,
the heritage a ruthless man receives from the Almighty:(S)
14 However many his children,(T) their fate is the sword;(U)
his offspring will never have enough to eat.(V)
15 The plague will bury those who survive him,
and their widows will not weep for them.(W)
16 Though he heaps up silver like dust(X)
and clothes like piles of clay,(Y)
17 what he lays up(Z) the righteous will wear,(AA)
and the innocent will divide his silver.(AB)
18 The house(AC) he builds is like a moth’s cocoon,(AD)
like a hut(AE) made by a watchman.
19 He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;(AF)
when he opens his eyes, all is gone.(AG)
20 Terrors(AH) overtake him like a flood;(AI)
a tempest snatches him away in the night.(AJ)
21 The east wind(AK) carries him off, and he is gone;(AL)
it sweeps him out of his place.(AM)
22 It hurls itself against him without mercy(AN)
as he flees headlong(AO) from its power.(AP)
23 It claps its hands(AQ) in derision
and hisses him out of his place.”(AR)
Job 27
King James Version
Job 27
King James Version
27 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
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 ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye 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 be 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 prepare raiment as the clay;
17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
