CHAP. XXVII.

1 Iob protesteth his sincerity. 8 The Hypocrite is without hope. 11 The blessings, which the wicked haue, are turned into curses:

1 Moreouer Iob continued his parable, and sayd,1

4 My lips shall not speake wickednesse, nor my tongue vtter deceit.

5 God forbid that I should iustifie you: till I die, I will not remoue my integritie from me.

7 Let mine enemie be as the wicked, and he that riseth vp against me, as the vnrighteous.

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

16 Though he heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay:

17 He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall diuide the siluer.
