27:2 [As] God liveth, [who] hath taken away my {a} judgment; and the Almighty, [who] hath vexed my soul;
(a) He has so sore afflicted me that men cannot judge my uprightness; for they judge only by outward signs.

27:4 {b} My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
(b) However men judge me, yet will I not speak contrary to that which I have said, and so do wickedly in betraying the truth.

27:5 God forbid that I should {c} justify you: till I die I will not remove mine {d} integrity from me.
(c) Which condemns me as a wicked man, because the hand of God is on me.
(d) I will not confess that God does thus punish me for my sins.

27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach [me] so long as I {e} live.
(e) Of my life past.

27:8 For what [is] the {f} hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
(f) What advantage has the dissembler to gain, seeing he will lose his own soul?

27:11 I will teach you by the hand of {g} God: [that] which [is] with the Almighty will I not conceal.
(g) That is, what God reserves for himself, and of which he gives not knowledge to all.

27:12 Behold, all ye yourselves {h} have seen [it]; why then are ye thus altogether {i} vain?
{h} That is, these secret judgments of God and yet do not understand them.
(i) Why do you then maintain this error?

27:13 This [is] the {k} portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, [which] they shall receive of the Almighty.
(k) Thus will God order the wicked, and punish him even to his posterity.

27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows {l} shall not weep.
(l) No one will lament him.

27:18 He buildeth his house as a {m} moth, and as a booth [that] the keeper maketh.
(m) Which breeds in another man’s possessions or garment, but is soon shaken out.

27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but {n} he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he [is] not.
(n) He means that the wicked tyrants will not have a quiet death, nor be buried honourably.
