Translated from Hebrew and Greek with AI, then checked for clarity and fidelity.

1. Job lifted up his parable again and said,
2. As God lives, who has denied me justice, the Almighty who has embittered my soul.
3. For as long as my breath remains in me and God's spirit is in my nostrils,
4. My lips will not speak injustice, nor will my tongue mutter deceit.
5. Far be it from me to vindicate you; I will not renounce my integrity until I die.
6. I cling to my righteousness and will not forsake it; my heart will not shame me throughout my days.
7. May my enemy be as the wicked, and the one who rises against me as the unrighteous.
8. For what is a hypocrite's hope when he gains, when God takes away his soul?
9. Will God hear his cry when distress comes upon him?
10. Will he take delight in the Almighty? Will he call God continually?
11. I will instruct you about God's hand—what is with the Almighty I will not conceal.
12. Look, all of you have seen it; why then do you act with such vanity?
13. This is the share of a wicked man from God, the inheritance of oppressors they receive from the Almighty.
14. If his children increase, the sword awaits them, and his offspring will not have their fill of bread.
15. His survivors will be buried by death, and his widows will not mourn.
16. Though he amasses silver like dust and readies clothing like clay,
17. He establishes it, but the righteous shall array themselves in it, and the blameless shall divide the silver.
18. He builds his house like a moth, like a booth a keeper makes.
19. The rich man lies down, but he is not gathered; he opens his eyes, and he is no more.
20. Terrors come upon him like waters; a tempest snatches him away in the night.
21. The east wind lifts him up, and he goes away; a storm hurls him from his place.
22. It flings at him and shows no pity as he flees from his hand.
23. They clap their hands at him, and hiss him from his place.
