KJV ¹ Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

WLC ¹ וַיֹּ֣סֶף אִ֭יּוֹב שְׂאֵ֥ת מְשָׁל֗וֹ וַיֹּאמַֽר׃

KJV ² As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

WLC ² חַי־ אֵ֭ל הֵסִ֣יר מִשְׁפָּטִ֑י וְ֝שַׁדַּ֗י הֵמַ֥ר נַפְשִֽׁי׃

KJV ³ All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

WLC ³ כִּֽי־ כָל־ ע֣וֹד נִשְׁמָתִ֣י בִ֑י וְר֖וּחַ אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּאַפִּֽי׃

KJV ⁴ My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

WLC ⁴ אִם־ תְּדַבֵּ֣רְנָה שְׂפָתַ֣י עַוְלָ֑ה וּ֝לְשׁוֹנִ֗י אִם־ יֶהְגֶּ֥ה רְמִיָּֽה׃

KJV ⁵ God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

WLC ⁵ חָלִ֣ילָה לִּי֮ אִם־ אַצְדִּ֪יק אֶ֫תְכֶ֥ם עַד־ אֶגְוָ֑ע לֹא־ אָסִ֖יר תֻּמָּתִ֣י מִמֶּֽנִּי׃

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

WLC ⁶ בְּצִדְקָתִ֣י הֶ֭חֱזַקְתִּי וְלֹ֣א אַרְפֶּ֑הָ לֹֽא־ יֶחֱרַ֥ף לְ֝בָבִ֗י מִיָּמָֽי׃

KJV ⁷ Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

WLC ⁷ יְהִ֣י כְ֭רָשָׁע אֹ֣יְבִ֑י וּמִתְקוֹמְמִ֥י כְעַוָּֽל׃

KJV ⁸ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

WLC ⁸ כִּ֤י מַה־ תִּקְוַ֣ת חָ֭נֵף כִּ֣י יִבְצָ֑ע כִּ֤י יֵ֖שֶׁל אֱל֣וֹהַּ נַפְשֽׁוֹ׃

KJV ⁹ Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

WLC ⁹ הַֽ֭צַעֲקָתוֹ יִשְׁמַ֥ע ׀ אֵ֑ל כִּֽי־ תָב֖וֹא עָלָ֣יו צָרָֽה׃

KJV ¹⁰ Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?

WLC ¹⁰ אִם־ עַל־ שַׁדַּ֥י יִתְעַנָּ֑ג יִקְרָ֖א אֱל֣וֹהַּ בְּכָל־ עֵֽת׃

KJV ¹¹ I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

WLC ¹¹ אוֹרֶ֣ה אֶתְכֶ֣ם בְּיַד־ אֵ֑ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר עִם־ שַׁ֝דַּ֗י לֹ֣א אֲכַחֵֽד׃

KJV ¹² Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?

WLC ¹² הֵן־ אַתֶּ֣ם כֻּלְּכֶ֣ם חֲזִיתֶ֑ם וְלָמָּה־ זֶּ֝֗ה הֶ֣בֶל תֶּהְבָּֽלוּ׃

KJV ¹³ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

WLC ¹³ זֶ֤ה ׀ חֵֽלֶק־ אָדָ֖ם רָשָׁ֥ע ׀ עִם־ אֵ֑ל וְֽנַחֲלַ֥ת עָ֝רִיצִ֗ים מִשַּׁדַּ֥י יִקָּֽחוּ׃

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

WLC ¹⁴ אִם־ יִרְבּ֣וּ בָנָ֣יו לְמוֹ־ חָ֑רֶב וְ֝צֶאֱצָאָ֗יו לֹ֣א יִשְׂבְּעוּ־ לָֽחֶם׃

KJV ¹⁵ Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.

WLC ¹⁵ בַּמָּ֣וֶת יִקָּבֵ֑רוּ וְ֝אַלְמְנֹתָ֗יו לֹ֣א תִבְכֶּֽינָה׃

KJV ¹⁶ Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

WLC ¹⁶ אִם־ יִצְבֹּ֣ר כֶּעָפָ֣ר כָּ֑סֶף וְ֝כַחֹ֗מֶר יָכִ֥ין מַלְבּֽוּשׁ׃

KJV ¹⁷ He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

WLC ¹⁷ יָ֭כִין וְצַדִּ֣יק יִלְבָּ֑שׁ וְ֝כֶ֗סֶף נָקִ֥י יַחֲלֹֽק׃

KJV ¹⁸ He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

WLC ¹⁸ בָּנָ֣ה כָעָ֣שׁ בֵּית֑וֹ וּ֝כְסֻכָּ֗ה עָשָׂ֥ה נֹצֵֽר׃

KJV ¹⁹ The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

WLC ¹⁹ עָשִׁ֣יר יִ֭שְׁכַּב וְלֹ֣א יֵאָסֵ֑ף עֵינָ֖יו פָּקַ֣ח וְאֵינֶֽנּוּ׃

KJV ²⁰ Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

WLC ²⁰ תַּשִּׂיגֵ֣הוּ כַ֭מַּיִם בַּלָּה֑וֹת לַ֝֗יְלָה גְּנָבַ֥תּוּ סוּפָֽה׃

KJV ²¹ The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.

WLC ²¹ יִשָּׂאֵ֣הוּ קָדִ֣ים וְיֵלַ֑ךְ וִֽ֝ישָׂעֲרֵ֗הוּ מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃

KJV ²² For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

WLC ²² וְיַשְׁלֵ֣ךְ עָ֭לָיו וְלֹ֣א יַחְמֹ֑ל מִ֝יָּד֗וֹ בָּר֥וֹחַ יִבְרָֽח׃

KJV ²³ Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

WLC ²³ יִשְׂפֹּ֣ק עָלֵ֣ימוֹ כַפֵּ֑ימוֹ וְיִשְׁרֹ֥ק עָ֝לָ֗יו מִמְּקֹמֽוֹ׃
