27:2
As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul (note: Heb. made my soul bitter);

27:3
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God (note: That is, the breath which God gave him) is in my nostrils;

27:5
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

27:7
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

27:10
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?

I will teach you by the hand (note: Or, being in the hand etc.) of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

27:12
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?

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

27:18
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
—
27:19
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

27:21
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
