Douay Bible - Job Chapter 27

Job 27:1
Job also added, taking up his parable, and said:

Job 27:2
As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment, and the Almighty, who hath brought my soul to bitterness,

Job 27:3
As long as breath remaineth in me, and the spirit of God in my nostrils,

Job 27:4
My lips shall not speak iniquity, neither shall my tongue contrive lying.

Job 27:5
God forbid that I should judge you to be just: till I die I will not depart from my innocence.

Job 27:6
My justification, which I have begun to hold, I will not forsake: for my heart doth not reprehend me in all my life.

Job 27:7
Let my enemy be as the ungodly, and my adversary as the wicked one.

Job 27:8
For what is the hope of the hypocrite if through covetousness he take by violence, and God deliver not his soul?

Job 27:9
Will God hear his cry, when distress shall come upon him?

Job 27:10
Or can he delight himself in the Almighty, and call upon God at all times?

Job 27:11
I will teach you by the hand of God, what the almighty hath, and I will not conceal it.

Job 27:12
Behold you all know it, and why do you speak vain things without cause?

Job 27:13
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the inheritance of the violent, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

Job 27:14
If his sons be multiplied, they shall be for the sword, and his grandsons shall not be filled with bread.

Job 27:15
They that shall remain of him, shall be buried in death, and his widows shall not weep.

Job 27:16
If he shall heap together silver as earth, and prepare raiment as clay,

Job 27:17
He shall prepare indeed, but the just man shall be clothed with it: and the innocent shall divide the silver.

Job 27:18
He hath built his house as a moth, and as a keeper he hath made a booth.

Job 27:19
The rich man when he shall sleep shall take away nothing with him: he shall open his eyes and find nothing.

Job 27:20
Poverty like water shall take hold on him, a tempest shall oppress him in the night.

Job 27:21
A burning wind shall take him up, and carry him away, and as a whirlwind shall snatch him from his place.

Job 27:22
And he shall cast upon him, and shall not spare: out of his hand he would willingly flee.

Job 27:23
He shall clasp his hands upon him, and shall hiss at him, beholding his place.

Introduction to the Douay-Rheims Bible

The Douay-Rheims Bible is an English translation of the Latin Vulgate, a 4th-century Latin translation of the Bible. It was published in the late 16th and early 17th centuries for English-speaking Catholics. The New Testament was published in 1582 and the Old Testament in 1609-10. It is considered one of the most influential English Bibles of the time. The Douay-Rheims Bible differs from other versions in several ways: Translation source: Unlike many other English Bibles that were translated from the original Greek and Hebrew texts, the Douay-Rheims was translated from the Latin Vulgate, which was the standard version of the Bible for the Catholic Church for many centuries. Language: The Douay-Rheims uses an archaic form of English, making it difficult for modern readers to understand. Theology: The Douay-Rheims reflects the theology of the Catholic Church, including its views on the authority of the Pope and the sacraments. Footnotes and commentary: The Douay-Rhe...
