Job 27
Dette er Biblen på dansk
27 Job vedblev at fremsætte sit Tankesprog: 2 "Så sandt Gud lever, som satte min Ret til Side, den Almægtige, som gjorde mig mod i Hu: 3 Så længe jeg drager Ånde og har Guds Ånde i Næsen, 4 skal mine Læber ej tale Uret, min Tunge ej fare med Svig! 5 Langt være det fra mig at give jer Ret; til jeg udånder, opgiver jeg ikke min Uskyld. 6 Jeg hævder min Ret, jeg slipper den ikke, ingen af mine Dage piner mit Sind.
7 Som den gudløse gå det min Fjende, min Modstander som den lovløse! 8 Thi hvad er den vanhelliges Håb, når Gud bortskærer og kræver hans Sjæl? 9 Hører mon Gud hans Skrig, når Angst kommer over ham? 10 Mon han kan fryde sig over den Almægtige, føjer han ham, når han påkalder ham? 11 Jeg vil lære jer om Guds Hånd, den Almægtiges Tanker dølger jeg ikke; 12 se, selv har I alle set det, hvi har I så tomme Tanker? 13 Det er den gudløses Lod fra Gud, Arven, som Voldsmænd får fra den Almægtige: 14 Vokser hans Sønner, er det for Sværdet, hans Afkom mættes ikke med Brød; 15 de øvrige bringer Pesten i Graven, deres Enker kan ej holde Klage over dem. 16 Opdynger han Sølv som Støv og samler sig Klæder som Ler 17 han samler, men den retfærdige klæder sig i dem, og Sølvet arver den skyldfri; 18 han bygger sit Hus som en Edderkops, som Hytten, en Vogter gør sig; 19 han lægger sig rig, men for sidste ang, han slår Øjnene op, og er det ej mer; 20 Rædsler når ham som Vande, ved Nat river Stormen ham bort; 21 løftet af Østenstorm farer han bort, den fejer ham væk fra hans Sted. 22 Skånselsløst skyder han på ham, i Hast må han fly fra hans Hånd; 23 man klapper i Hænderne mod ham og piber ham bort fra hans Sted!
Job 27
English Standard Version
Job Continues: I Will Maintain My Integrity
27 And Job again (A)took up his discourse, and said:
2 “As God lives, who has (B)taken away my right,
and the Almighty, who has (C)made my soul bitter,
3 as long as my breath is in me,
and (D)the spirit of God is in my nostrils,
4 my lips will not speak (E)falsehood,
and my tongue will not utter (F)deceit.
5 Far be it from me to say that you are right;
till I die I will not put away my (G)integrity from me.
6 I (H)hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go;
my heart does not (I)reproach me for any of my days.
7 “Let my enemy be as the wicked,
and let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous.
8 (J)For what is the hope of the godless (K)when God cuts him off,
when God takes away his life?
9 (L)Will God hear his cry
when distress comes upon him?
10 Will he (M)take delight in the Almighty?
Will he call upon God at all times?
11 I will teach you concerning the hand of God;
(N)what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12 Behold, all of you have seen it yourselves;
why then have you become altogether vain?
13 (O)“This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
and the heritage that (P)oppressors receive from the Almighty:
14 If his (Q)children are multiplied, it is for (R)the sword,
and his descendants have not enough bread.
15 Those who survive him the pestilence buries,
and his (S)widows do not weep.
16 Though he (T)heap up silver like dust,
and pile up clothing like clay,
17 he may pile it up, but the righteous will wear it,
and (U)the innocent will divide the silver.
18 He builds his (V)house like a moth's,
like (W)a booth that (X)a watchman makes.
19 He goes to bed rich, but will (Y)do so no more;
he opens his eyes, and (Z)his wealth is gone.
20 (AA)Terrors overtake him like (AB)a flood;
in the night a whirlwind (AC)carries him off.
21 (AD)The east wind lifts him up and he is gone;
it (AE)sweeps him out of his place.
22 It[a] hurls at him (AF)without pity;
he flees from its[b] power in headlong flight.
23 It (AG)claps its hands at him
and (AH)hisses at him from its place.
