Job 27:17 in context

  1. 15Those who remain of him will be buried in death.
    His widows will make no lamentation.
  2. 16Though he heap up silver as the dust,
    and prepare clothing as the clay;
  3. 17he may prepare it, but the just will put it on,
    and the innocent will divide the silver.
  4. 18He builds his house as the moth,
    as a booth which the watchman makes.

    He opens his eyes, and he is not.
