2:1 Again itthere camewas toa pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovahthe Lord, thatand Satan also came also among them to present himself before Jehovahthe Lord.
2:2 And Jehovahthe Lord said untoto Satan, FromWhere whencehave comestyou thoucome from? AndThen Satan answered Jehovah,the Lord and said, From goingroaming toabout andon fro in the earth, and from walking uparound andon down in it.
2:3 And Jehovahthe Lord said untoto Satan, HastHave thouyou considered myMy servant Job? forFor there is noneno one like him inon the earth, a perfectblameless and an upright man, onefearing that feareth God, and turnethturning away from evil:. andAnd he still holdethholds fast his integrity, although thouyou movedstincited meMe against him, to destroyruin him without cause.

2:8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself therewith;while and he satwas sitting among the ashes.
2:9 Then said his wife untosaid to him, DostDo thouyou still hold fast thineyour integrity? renounceCurse God, and die.!
2:10 But he said untoto her, ThouYou speakestspeak as one of the foolish women speakethspeaks. What?Shall shall we receiveindeed accept good atfrom the hand of God, and shall we not receiveaccept eviladversity? In all this Job did not Job sin with his lips.
2:11 Now when Jobs three friends heard of all this eviladversity that washad come upon him, they came everyeach one from his own place:, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to bemoansympathize with him and to comfort him.
2:12 And when they lifted up their eyes afarat offa distance, and knewdid not recognize him not, they liftedraised up their voice,voices and wept;. andAnd theyeach rentof everythem onetore his robe, and sprinkledthey threw dust uponover their heads toward heaventhe sky.
2:13 SoThen they sat down on the ground with him uponfor the ground seven days and seven nights, andwith noneno spakeone speaking a word untoto him:, for they saw that his griefpain was very great.
3:1 AfterAfterward thisJob opened Job his mouth, and cursed the day of his daybirth.
3:2 And Job answered and said:,
3:3 Let the day perish whereinon which I was to be born, And the night which said, ThereA boy is a man child conceived.
3:4 LetMay that day be darkness; Let not God from above seekcare for it, NeitherNor let the light shine uponon it.
3:5 Let darkness and theblack shadowgloom of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwellsettle uponon it; Let allthe thatblackness makethof black the day terrify it.
3:6 As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it:; Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.
3:7 LoBehold, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voiceshout comeenter thereinit.
3:8 Let themthose curse it thatwho curse the day, Who are readyprepared to rouse up leviathanLeviathan.
3:9 Let the stars of theits twilight thereof be dark:darkened; Let it lookwait for light, but have none;, Neither let it beholdsee the eyelidsbreaking of the morning:dawn;
3:10 Because it shutdid not upshut the doorsopening of my mothers womb, NorOr hidhide trouble from minemy eyes.
3:11 Why dieddid I not fromdie theat womb?birth, WhyCome didforth Ifrom not give up the ghostwomb whenand my mother bare meexpire?
3:12 Why did the knees receive me?, OrAnd why the breasts, that I should suck?
3:13 For now should I would have lain down and been quiet; I shouldwould have slept; then, had I would have been at rest,
3:14 With kings and counsellorswith counselors of the earth, Who builtrebuilt upruins waste places for themselves;
3:15 Or with princes thatwho had gold, Who filledwere filling their houses with silver:.
3:16 Or aslike a hiddenmiscarriage untimelywhich birthis discarded, I hadwould not beenbe, As infants that never saw light.
3:17 There the wicked cease from troubling;raging, And there the weary are at rest.
3:18 ThereThe the prisoners are at ease together; They heardo not hear the voice of the taskmaster.
3:19 The small and the great are there:, And the servantslave is free from his master.
3:20 WhereforeWhy is light given to him thatwho is in miserysuffers, And life untoto the bitter inof soul;
3:21 Who long for death, but itthere comethis notnone, And dig for it more than for hidhidden treasures;
3:22 Who rejoice exceedinglygreatly, AndThey areexult glad, when they can find the grave?
3:23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hidhidden, And whom God hathhas hedged in?
3:24 For my sighinggroaning comethcomes beforeat Ithe eatsight of my food, And my groaningscries arepour poured out like water.
3:25 For thewhat thing which I fear comethcomes upon me, And thatwhat which I amdread afraidbefalls of cometh unto me.
3:26 I am not at ease, neithernor am I quiet, neitherAnd have I am not at rest;, Butbut troubleturmoil comethcomes.
4:1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and saidanswered,
4:2 If one assayventures toa communeword with theeyou, wiltwill thouyou bebecome grievedimpatient? But who can withholdrefrain himself from speaking?
4:3 Behold, thouyou hasthave instructedadmonished many, And thouyou hasthave strengthened the weak hands.
4:4 ThyYour words have upholdenhelped himthe thattottering wasto fallingstand, And thouyou hasthave madestrengthened firm the feeble knees.
4:5 But now it ishas come untoto theeyou, and thouyou faintestare impatient; It touchethtouches theeyou, and thouyou artare troubleddismayed.
4:6 Is not thyyour fear of God thyyour confidence, And the integrity of thyyour ways thyyour hope?
4:7 Remember, I pray theenow, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut offdestroyed?
4:8 According asto what I have seen, theythose thatwho plow iniquity, And those who sow trouble, reapharvest the sameit.
4:9 By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of hisHis anger are they consumedcome to an end.
4:10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
4:11 The old lion perishethperishes for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
4:12 Now a thingword was secretly brought to me stealthily, And minemy ear received a whisper thereofof it.
4:13 InAmid disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep fallethfalls on men,
4:14 FearDread came upon me, and trembling, WhichAnd made all my bones to shake.
4:15 Then a spirit passed beforeby my face; The hair of my flesh stoodbristled up.
4:16 It stood still, but I could not discern theits appearance thereof; A form was before minemy eyes:; There was silence, andthen I heard a voice, saying,:
4:17 ShallCan mortalmankind man be more just thanbefore God? ShallCan a man be more pure thanbefore his Maker?
4:18 Behold,He heputs putteth no trust even in hisHis servants; And hisagainst His angels heHe chargethcharges with folly:error.
4:19 How much more themthose thatwho dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!
4:20 BetwixtBetween morning and evening they are destroyed:broken Theyin perishpieces; forUnobserved, everthey withoutperish any regarding itforever.
4:21 Is not their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, andyet that without wisdom.
5:1 Call now;, is there anyanyone thatwho will answer theeyou? And to which of the holy ones wiltwill thouyou turn?
5:2 For vexation killethslays the foolish man, And jealousyanger slayethkills the silly onesimple.
5:3 I have seen the foolish taking root:, ButAnd suddenly I cursed his habitationabode immediately.
5:4 His childrensons are far from safety, AndThey they are crushedeven oppressed in the gate, Neither is there anya to deliver them:deliverer.
5:5 WhoseHis harvest the hungry eateth updevour, And takethtake it evento outa place of the thorns; And the snareschemer gapethis eager for their substancewealth.
5:6 For affliction comethdoes not forthcome from the dust, Neither dothdoes trouble springsprout outfrom of the ground;,
5:7 ButFor man is born untofor trouble, As the sparks fly upward.
5:8 But as for me, I would seek unto God, And untoI God would Iplace commit my cause before God;
5:9 Who doethdoes great things and unsearchable things, MarvellousWonders things without number:.
5:10 WhoHe givethgives rain uponon the earth, And sendethsends waterswater uponon the fields;,
5:11 So that heHe settethsets up on high those thatwho are lowlowly, And those thatwho mourn are exaltedlifted to safety.
5:12 He frustratethfrustrates the devicesplotting of the craftyshrewd, So that their hands cannot performattain their enterprisesuccess.
5:13 He takethcaptures the wise inby their own craftiness;shrewdness And the counseladvice of the cunning is carriedquickly headlongthwarted.
5:14 TheyBy day they meet with darkness in the day time, And grope at noondaynoon as in the night.
5:15 But heHe savethsaves from the sword of their mouth, EvenAnd the needypoor from the hand of the mighty.
5:16 So the poorhelpless hathhas hope, And iniquityunrighteousness stoppethmust hershut its mouth.
5:17 Behold, how happy is the man whom God correcteth:reproves, ThereforeSo despisedo not thoudespise the chasteningdiscipline of the Almighty.
5:18 For heHe makethinflicts sorepain, and bindethgives uprelief; He woundethwounds, and hisHis hands makealso wholeheal.
5:19 From six troubles He will deliver theeyou, inEven six troubles; Yea, in seven thereevil shallwill nonot evil touch theeyou.
5:20 In famine heHe will redeem theeyou from death;, And in war from the power of the sword.
5:21 ThouYou shaltwill be hidhidden from the scourge of the tongue;, Neither shaltwill thouyou be afraid of destructionviolence when it comethcomes.
5:22 AtYou destructionwill andlaugh dearthat thouviolence shaltand laugh;famine, Neither shaltwill thouyou be afraid of thewild beasts of the earth.
5:23 For thouyou shaltwill be in league with the stones of the field; And the beasts of the field shallwill be at peace with theeyou.
5:24 And thouyou shaltwill know that thyyour tent is insecure, peace;For Andyou thouwill shalt visit thyyour fold,abode and shaltfear missno nothingloss.
5:25 ThouYou shaltwill know also that thyyour seeddescendants shallwill be greatmany, And thineyour offspring as the grass of the earth.
5:26 ThouYou shaltwill come to thythe grave in a full agevigor, Like asthe astacking shock of grain cometh in in its season.
5:27 LoBehold this, we have searchedinvestigated it, sothus it is; Hear it, and know thou it for thy goodyourself.
6:1 Then Job answered and said,
6:2 Oh that my vexation were butactually weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances together with my iniquity!
6:3 For nowthen it would be heavier than the sand of the seas:, Therefore have my words have been rash.
6:4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,; TheTheir poison whereof my spirit drinkethdrinks; up: The terrors of God doare setarrayed themselves in array against me.
6:5 DothDoes the wild assdonkey bray whenover hehis hath grass?, Or lowethdoes the ox low over his fodder?
6:6 Can thatsomething whichtasteless hath no savor be eaten without salt?, Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
6:7 My soul refusethrefuses to touch them; They are aslike loathsome food to me.
6:8 Oh that Imy request might havecome myto request;pass, And that God would grant memy the thing that I long forlonging!
6:9 EvenWould that itGod wouldwere pleasewilling God to crush me; That heHe would let loose hisHis hand, and cut me off!
6:10 AndBut be it is still my consolation, Yea,And letI merejoice exult in unsparing pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
6:11 What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is minemy end, that I should be patientendure?
6:12 Is my strength the strength of stones?, Or is my flesh of brassbronze?
6:13 Is it not that Imy havehelp nois helpnot inwithin me, And that wisdomdeliverance is driven quite from me?
6:14 ToFor himthe thatdespairing isman readythere to faint kindness should be showedkindness from his friend; EvenLest tohe himforsake that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
6:15 My brethrenbrothers have dealtacted deceitfully aslike a brookwadi, AsLike the channeltorrents of brookswadis thatwhich pass away;vanish,
6:16 Which are blackturbid bybecause reason of the ice, And whereininto which the snow hideth itself:melts.
6:17 WhatWhen time they waxbecome warmwaterless, they vanish;are silent, When it is hot, they arevanish consumedfrom out of their place.
6:18 The caravanspaths thatof traveltheir bycourse thewind wayalong, of them turn aside; They go up into thenothing waste, and perish.
6:19 The caravans of Tema looked, The companiestravelers of Sheba waitedhoped for them.
6:20 They were putdisappointed tofor shame because they had hoped;trusted, They came thither,there and were confounded.
6:21 ForIndeed, you have now yebecome aresuch, nothing;You Ye see a terror, and are afraid.
6:22 DidHave I saysaid, Give unto me? something, Or, Offer a presentbribe for me offrom your substance?wealth,
6:23 Or, Deliver me from the adversarys hand? of the adversary, Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressorstyrants ?
6:24 Teach me, and I will holdbe my peacesilent; And causeshow me tohow understand wherein I have erred.
6:25 How forciblepainful are honest words of uprightness! But yourwhat reproof,does whatyour dothargument it reproveprove?
6:26 Do yeyou thinkintend to reprove my words, SeeingWhen that the speecheswords of one thatin isdespair desperatebelong areto asthe wind?
6:27 Yea,You ye would even cast lots uponfor the fatherlessorphans, And makebarter merchandiseover of your friend.
6:28 NowAnd thereforenow beplease pleased to look uponat me;, ForAnd surelysee if I shall not lie to your face.
6:29 Return,Desist I pray younow, let there be no injustice; Yea,Even return againdesist, my causerighteousness is righteousyet in it.
6:30 Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my tastepalate discern mischievous thingscalamities?
7:1 Is there not aman warfareforced to manlabor uponon earth?, And are not his days like the days of a hirelinghired man?
7:2 As a servantslave thatwho earnestlypants desirethfor the shadowshade, And as a hirelinghired thatman lookethwho eagerly waits for his wages:,
7:3 So am I madeallotted to possess months of miseryvanity, And wearisome nights of trouble are appointed to me.
7:4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise,? andBut the night becontinues, gone? And I am fullcontinually oftossing tossingsuntil to and fro unto the dawning of the daydawn.
7:5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clodsa crust of dustdirt; My skin closethhardens up, and breaketh out afreshruns.
7:6 My days are swifter than a weavers shuttle, And arecome spentto an end without hope.
7:7 OhRemember remember that my life is abut breath:, MineMy eye shallwill nonot moreagain see good.
7:8 The eye of him thatwho seethsees me shallwill behold me no more; Thine eyes shallwill be uponon me, but I shallwill not be.
7:9 AsWhen thea cloud isvanishes, consumedit andis vanisheth awaygone, So he thatwho goethgoes down to Sheol shalldoes not come up no more.
7:10 He shallwill not return noagain more to his house, NeitherNor shallwill his place know him any moreanymore.
7:11 Therefore, I will not refrainrestrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit;, I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
7:12 Am I athe sea, or athe sea monster, That thouThou settestdost set a watchguard over me?
7:13 WhenIf I say, My bed shallwill comfort me, My couch shallwill ease my complaint;,
7:14 Then thouThou scarestdost frighten me with dreams, And terrifiestterrify me throughby visions:;
7:15 So that my soul choosethwould stranglingchoose suffocation, AndDeath death rather than these my bonespains.
7:16 I loathewaste my lifeaway; I wouldwill not live alway:forever. LetLeave me alone;, for my days are vanitybut a breath.
7:17 What is man, that thouThou shouldestdost magnify him, And that thouThou shouldestart setconcerned thyabout mind upon him,
7:18 AndThat thatThou thoudost shouldestexamine visit him every morning, And try him every moment?
7:19 HowWilt longThou wiltnever thouturn notThy lookgaze away from me, Nor let me alone tilluntil I swallow down my spittle?
7:20 IfHave I have sinned,? whatWhat dohave I untodone theeto Thee, O thou watcher of men? Why hast thouThou set me as aThy mark for theetarget, So that I am a burden to myself?
7:21 AndWhy whythen dost thouThou not pardon my transgression, andAnd take away minemy iniquity? For now shall I will lie down in the dust; And thouThou wilt seek me diligently, but I shallwill not be.
8:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and saidanswered,
8:2 How long wiltwill thouyou speaksay these things?, And how long shall the words of thyyour mouth be like a mighty wind?
8:3 DothDoes God pervert justice? Or dothdoes the Almighty pervert righteousnesswhat is right?
8:4 If thyyour childrensons have sinned against himHim, AndThen heHe hath delivered them into the handpower of their transgression;.
8:5 If thouyou wouldestwould seek diligently unto God, And makeimplore thythe supplicationcompassion toof the Almighty;,
8:6 If thouyou wertare pure and upright:, Surely now heHe would awakerouse Himself for thee,you And makerestore theyour habitationrighteous of thy righteousness prosperousestate.
8:7 AndThough thoughyour thy beginning was smallinsignificant, Yet thyyour latter end wouldwill increase greatly increase.
8:8 ForPlease inquire, I pray thee, of thepast former agegenerations, And applyconsider thyselfthe tothings thatsearched whichout by their fathers have searched out.
8:9 For we are butonly of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days uponon earth are as a shadow;.
8:10 ShallWill they not they teach thee,you and tell theeyou, And utterbring forth words outfrom of their heartminds?
8:11 Can the rushpapyrus grow up without miremarsh? Can the flagrushes grow without water?
8:12 WhilstWhile it is yetstill ingreen its greenness, and not cut down, ItYet witherethit withers before any other herbplant.
8:13 So are the paths of all thatwho forget God;, And the hope of the godless manwill shall perish:,
8:14 Whose confidence shallis break in sunderfragile, And whose trust is a spiders web.
8:15 He shalltrusts leanin upon his house, but it shalldoes not stand:; He shallholds hold fast therebyto it, but it shalldoes not endure.
8:16 He isthrives green before the sun, And his shoots gospread forthout over his garden.
8:17 His roots arewrap wrappedaround abouta therock stone heappile, He beholdethgrasps thea placehouse of stones.
8:18 If he beis destroyedremoved from his place, Then it shallwill deny him, saying, I havenever notsaw seen theeyou.
8:19 Behold, this is the joy of hisHis way; And out of the earthdust shall others will spring.
8:20 BeholdLo, God will not castreject away a perfectman manof integrity, NeitherNor will heHe upholdsupport the evil doersevildoers.
8:21 He will yet fill thyyour mouth with laughter, And thyyour lips with shouting.
8:22 TheyThose thatwho hate theeyou shallwill be clothed with shame; And the tent of the wicked shallwill be no more.
9:1 Then Job answered and said,
9:2 OfIn a truth I know that itthis is so:, But how can a man be justin withthe right before God?
9:3 If heone bewished pleased to contenddispute with himHim, He cannotcould not answer himHim oneonce ofin a thousand times.
9:4 HeWise is wise in heart, and mighty in strength:, Who hathhas hardeneddefied himselfHim againstwithout him, and prospered?—harm?
9:5 HimIt thatis removethGod who removes the mountains, and they know itnot nothow, When heHe overturnethoverturns them in hisHis anger;
9:6 ThatWho shakethshakes the earth out of its place, And theits pillars thereof tremble;
9:7 ThatWho commandethcommands the sun, andnot itto riseth notshine, And sealethsets upa seal upon the stars;
9:8 ThatWho alone stretchethstretches out the heavens, And treadethtramples upondown the waves of the sea;
9:9 ThatWho makethmakes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
9:10 ThatWho doethdoes great things past finding out, Yeaunfathomable, marvellousAnd thingswondrous works without number.
9:11 Lo,Were heHe goethto pass by me, and I would not see himHim; not:Were He passethto onmove alsopast me, but I would not perceive him notHim.
9:12 Behold,Were heHe seizethto thesnatch preyaway, who cancould hinderrestrain himHim? Who willcould say untoto himHim, What doestart thouThou doing?
9:13 God will not withdrawturn hisback His anger; TheBeneath Him crouch the helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.
9:14 How muchthen lesscan shall I answer himHim, And choose out my words tobefore reason with himHim?
9:15 Whom,For though I were righteousright, yetI wouldcould I not answer; I would makehave supplication to implore the mercy of my judge.
9:16 If I had called, and heHe had answered me, YetI wouldcould I not believe that heHe hearkenedwas untolistening to my voice.
9:17 For heHe breakethbruises me with a tempest, And multipliethmultiplies my wounds without cause.
9:18 He will not sufferallow me to takeget my breath, But fillethsaturates me with bitterness.
9:19 If weit speakis a matter of strengthpower, lobehold, heHe is mightythe strong one! And if it is a matter of justice, Who,who saithcan he, will summon meHim?
9:20 Though I beam righteous, minemy own mouth shallwill condemn me:; Though I beam perfectguiltless, itHe shallwill provedeclare me perverseguilty.
9:21 I am perfectguiltless; I regarddo not take notice of myself; I despise my life.
9:22 It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyethdestroys the perfectguiltless and the wicked.
9:23 If the scourge slaykills suddenly, He willmocks mock at the trialdespair of the innocent.
9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He coverethcovers the faces of theits judges. thereof: If it beis not heHe, then who then is it?
9:25 Now my days are swifter than a post:runner; They flee away, they see no good.
9:26 They areslip passedby awaylike asreed theboats, swiftLike ships;an As the eagle that swoopethswoops on theits prey.
9:27 IfThough I say, I will forget my complaint, I will putleave off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer;cheerful,
9:28 I am afraid of all my sorrowspains, I know that thouThou wilt not holdacquit me innocent.
9:29 I shallam beaccounted condemned;wicked, Why then doshould I labortoil in vain?
9:30 If I should wash myself with snow water, And makecleanse my hands neverwith so clean;lye,
9:31 Yet wiltThou thouwouldst plunge me ininto the ditchpit, And minemy own clothes shallwould abhor me.
9:32 For heHe is not a man, as I am, that I shouldmay answer himHim, That we shouldmay comego togetherto incourt judgmenttogether.
9:33 There is no umpire betwixtbetween us, ThatWho mightmay lay his hand upon us both.
9:34 Let himHim takeremove hisHis rod away from me, And let not hisdread terrorof makeHim terrify me afraid:.
9:35 Then I would I speak, and not fear himHim; ForBut I am not solike that in myself.
10:1 MyI soulloathe ismy wearyown of my life; I will give freefull coursevent to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
10:2 I will say untoto God, Do not condemn me; ShowLet me whereforeknow thouwhy contendestThou dost contend with me.
10:3 Is it goodright untofor theeThee thatindeed thouto shouldest oppress, ThatTo thoureject shouldest despise the worklabor of thyThy hands, And shineto uponlook favorably on the counselschemes of the wicked?
10:4 Hast thouThou eyes of flesh? Or seestdost thouThou see as a man seethsees?

21:13 They spend their days in prosperity, And insuddenly a moment they go down to Sheol.
21:14 And they say untoto God, Depart from us;! ForWe wedo not even desire not the knowledge of thyThy ways.

22:18 Yet heHe filled their houses with good things:; But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
22:19 The righteous see it, and are glad;, And the innocent laughmock them to scorn,

23:1 Then Job answered and saidreplied,
23:2 Even totoday day is my complaint rebellious:is Myrebellion; strokeHis hand is heavierheavy thandespite my groaning.
23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him!Him, That I might come even to hisHis seat!

23:6 Would heHe contend with me inby the greatness of hisHis power? Nay;No, butsurely heHe would givepay heedattention untoto me.
23:7 There the upright mightwould reason with himHim; SoAnd should I would be delivered forforever ever from my judgeJudge.
23:8 Behold, I go forward, but heHe is not there;, And backward, but I cannot perceive himHim;

23:10 But heHe knowethknows the way that I take; When heHe hathhas tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
23:11 My foot hathhas held fast to hisHis stepspath; HisI way have I kept, His way and not turned not aside.
23:12 I have not gonedeparted back from the commandmentcommand of hisHis lips; I have treasured up the words of hisHis mouth more than my necessary food.
23:13 But heHe is inunique one mind, and who can turn himHim? And what hisHis soul desirethdesires, even that heHe doethdoes.

24:1 Why are times not laidstored up by the Almighty?, And why do notthose theywho that know himHim not see hisHis days?
24:2 ThereSome are that remove the landmarks; They violentlyseize takeand awaydevour flocks, and feed them.
24:3 They drive away the assdonkeys of the fatherlessorphans; They take the widows ox for a pledge.
24:4 They turnpush the needy outaside offrom the way:road; The poor of the earthland allare made to hide themselves altogether.
24:5 Behold, as wild assesdonkeys in the desertwilderness They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; Thein wildernesstheir yieldethactivity, themAs bread for their children in the desert.
24:6 They cutharvest their provenderfodder in the field;, And they glean the vintagevineyard of the wicked.
24:7 They liespend allthe night naked, without clothing, And have no covering inagainst the cold.
24:8 They are wet with the showersmountain of the mountainsrains, And embracethey hug the rock for want of a shelter.
24:9 ThereOthers aresnatch that pluck the fatherlessorphan from the breast, And against the poor they take a pledge of the poor;.
24:10 SoThey thatcause theythe poor to go about naked without clothing, And beingthey hungrytake theyaway carrythe sheaves from the sheaveshungry.
24:11 TheyWithin make oil within the walls ofthey theseproduce menoil; They tread theirwine winepresses,presses andbut suffer thirst.
24:12 From out of the populous city men groan, And the soulsouls of the wounded criethcry out:; Yet God regardethdoes not thepay attention to folly.
24:13 TheseOthers arehave ofbeen themwith thatthose who rebel against the light; They knowdo not thewant to know its ways thereof, Nor abide in theits paths thereof.
24:14 The murderer risetharises withat the lightdawn; He killethkills the poor and the needy;, And inat the night he is as a thief.
24:15 TheAnd the eye also of the adulterer waitethwaits for the twilight, Saying, No eye shallwill see me:. And he disguisethdisguises his face.

24:25 AndNow if it beis not so now, who willcan prove me a liar, And make my speech nothing worthworthless?
25:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and saidanswered,

25:3 Is there any number ofto hisHis armiestroops? And upon whom dothdoes notHis his light arisenot rise?
25:4 How then can a man be just with God? Or how can he be clean thatwho is born of a woman?
25:5 Behold,If even the moon hathhas no brightness, And the stars are not pure in hisHis sight:,
25:6 How much less man, that ismaggot, a worm! And the son of man, that is a worm!
26:1 Then Job answered and saidresponded,

26:6 SheolNaked is nakedSheol before God,Him And Abaddon hathhas no covering.
26:7 He stretchethstretches out the north over empty space, And hangethhangs the earth uponon nothing.
26:8 He bindethwraps up the waters in hisHis thick clouds; And the cloud isdoes not rentburst under them.

26:10 He hathhas describedinscribed a boundarycircle uponon the facesurface of the waters, UntoAt the confinesboundary of light and darkness.
26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble, And are astonishedamazed at hisHis rebuke.
26:12 He stirrethquieted up the sea with hisHis power, And by hisHis understanding heHe smitethshattered through Rahab.
26:13 By hisHis Spiritbreath the heavens are garnishedcleared; His hand hathhas pierced the swiftfleeing serpent.
26:14 LoBehold, these are but the outskirtsfringes of hisHis ways:; And how smallfaint a whisperword do we hear of himHim! But theHis mighty thunder, of his power who can understand?
27:1 AndThen Job againcontinued took up his parable,discourse and said,
27:2 As God livethlives, who hathhas taken away my right, And the Almighty, who hathhas vexedembittered my soul,
27:3 For myas long as life is yet whole in me, And the spiritbreath of God is in my nostrils;,
27:4 SurelyMy my lips shallcertainly will not speak unrighteousnessunjustly, NeitherNor shallwill my tongue uttermutter deceit.
27:5 Far be it from me that I should justifydeclare you: right; Till I die I will not put away minemy integrity from me.
27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, my righteousness and will not let it go:. My heart shalldoes not reproach meany soof longmy as I livedays.
27:7 LetMay minemy enemy be as the wicked, And letmy himopponent that riseth up against me be as the unrighteousunjust.
27:8 For what is the hope of the godless, thoughwhen he getis himcut gainoff, When God takethrequires away his soullife?
27:9 Will God hear his cry, When troubledistress comethcomes upon him?
27:10 Will he take delight himself in the Almighty, AndWill he call uponon God at all times?
27:11 I will teachinstruct you concerningin the handpower of God; ThatWhat which is with the Almighty I will I not conceal.
27:12 Behold, all yeof yourselvesyou have seen it; Why then aredo yeyou becomeact altogether vainfoolishly?
27:13 This is the portion of a wicked man withfrom God, And the heritageinheritance of oppressors, which theytyrants receive from the Almighty:.
27:14 IfThough his childrensons beare multipliedmany, itthey isare destined for the sword; And his offspringdescendants shallwill not be satisfied with bread.
27:15 ThoseHis thatsurvivors remainwill ofbe himburied shallbecause beof buriedthe in deathplague, And histheir widows shallwill makenot nobe lamentationable to weep.
27:16 Though he heappiles up silver aslike the dust, And prepareprepares raimentgarments as plentiful as the clay;
27:17 He may prepare it, but the just shallwill putwear it on, And the innocent shallwill divide the silver.
27:18 He buildethhas built his house aslike the mothspiders web, AndOr as a boothhut which the keeperwatchman makethhas made.
27:19 He liethlies down rich, but henever shall not be gathered to his fathersagain; He openethopens his eyes, and heit is notno more.
27:20 Terrors overtake him like watersa flood; A tempest stealethsteals him away in the night.
27:21 The east wind carriethcarries him away, and he departeth;is Andgone, For it sweepethwhirls him outaway offrom his place.
27:22 For Godit shallwill hurl at him, andwithout notsparing; spare: He wouldwill fainsurely try to flee outfrom ofits his handpower.
27:23 Men shallwill clap their hands at him, And shallwill hiss him outfrom of his place.
28:1 Surely there is a mine for silver, And a place forwhere gold which they refine gold.
28:2 Iron is taken outfrom of the earthdust, And from rock copper is molten out of the stonesmelted.
28:3 Man settethputs an end to darkness, And searcheth out, to the furthestfarthest bound,limit he searches out The stonesrock ofin obscuritygloom and ofdeep thick darknessshadow.
28:4 He breakethsinks open a shaft awayfar from wherehabitation, menForgotten sojourn;by They are forgotten of the foot; They hang afarand from men, they swing to and fro far from men.
28:5 AsThe for the earth, outfrom of it comethcomes bread;food, And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.
28:6 TheIts stonesrocks thereof are the placesource of sapphires, And itits hath dust ofcontains gold.
28:7 ThatThe path no bird of prey knowethknows, NeitherNor hathhas the falcons eye seencaught sight of it:.
28:8 The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor hathhas the fierce lion passed therebyover it.

28:11 He bindethdams up the streams thatfrom they trickle notflowing; And thewhat thing that is hidhidden bringeth he forthbrings out to the light.
28:12 But where shallcan wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
28:13 Man knowethdoes not theknow priceits thereof;value, NeitherNor is it found in the land of the living.
28:14 The deep saithsays, It is not in me; And the sea saithsays, It is not with me.
28:15 ItPure gold cannot be gottengiven in exchange for goldit, NeitherNor shallcan silver be weighed foras theits price thereof.
28:16 It cannot be valued within the gold of Ophir, WithIn the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

28:19 The topaz of Ethiopia shallcannot not equal it, NeitherNor shallcan it be valued within pure gold.
28:20 WhenceWhere then comethdoes wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding?
28:21 SeeingThus it is hidhidden from the eyes of all living, And keptconcealed close from the birds of the heavenssky.
28:22 DestructionAbaddon and Death say, WeWith our ears we have heard a rumorreport thereofof with our earsit.
28:23 God understandethunderstands theits way; thereof, And heHe knowethknows theits place thereof.

28:28 And untoto man heHe said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.
29:1 And Job again took up his parable,discourse and said,
29:2 Oh that I were as in the months ofgone oldby, As in the days when God watched over me;
29:3 When hisHis lamp shinedshone uponover my head, And by hisHis light I walked through darkness;
29:4 As I was in the ripenessprime of my days, When the friendship of God was uponover my tent;
29:5 When the Almighty was yet with me, And my children were aboutaround me;
29:6 When my steps were washedbathed within butter, And the rock poured out for me out streams of oil!
29:7 When I went forthout to the gate untoof the city, When I preparedtook my seat in the street,square;
29:8 The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the agedold rosemen uparose and stood;.
29:9 The princes refrainedstopped from talking, And laidput their handhands on their mouthmouths;
29:10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleavedstuck to the roof of their mouthpalate.
29:11 For when the ear heard me, then it blessedcalled me blessed; And when the eye saw me, it gave witness untoof me:,
29:12 Because I delivered the poor thatwho cried for help, TheAnd fatherlessthe also,orphan thatwho had noneno to help himhelper.
29:13 The blessing of himthe thatone was ready to perish came upon me;, And I causedmade the widows heart to sing for joy.
29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me:; My justice was aslike a robe and a diademturban.
29:15 I was eyes to the blind, And feet was I to the lame.
29:16 I was a father to the needy:, And theI causeinvestigated ofthe himcase thatwhich I knewdid not I searched outknow.
29:17 And I brakebroke the jaws of the unrighteouswicked, And pluckedsnatched the prey outfrom of his teeth.
29:18 Then I saidthought, I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand:.
29:19 My root is spread out to the waters, And the dew liethlies all night uponon my branch:.
29:20 My glory is freshever innew with me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.
29:21 UntoTo me menthey gavelistened ear, and waited, And kept silencesilent for my counsel.
29:22 After my words they spakedid not speak again;, And my speech distilleddropped uponon them.
29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain;, And they opened their mouth wide as for the latterspring rain.
29:24 I smiled on them, when they haddid nonot confidence;believe, And the light of my countenanceface they castdid not cast down.
29:25 I chose outa their way, for them and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king inamong the armytroops, As one thatwho comfortethcomforted the mourners.
30:1 ButBUT now theythose that are younger than I havemock me in derision, Whose fathers I disdained to setput with the dogs of my flock.
30:2 YeaIndeed, what good was the strength of their hands, wheretoto should it profit me? MenVigor inhad whomperished ripefrom age is perishedthem.
30:3 TheyFrom are gaunt with want and famine; Theythey are gaunt Who gnaw the dry ground, inby thenight gloomin ofwaste wasteness and desolation.,
30:4 TheyWho pluck saltmallow wort by the bushes;, And whose food is the rootsroot of the broom are their foodshrub.
30:5 They are driven forth from the midst of mencommunity; They cryshout afteragainst them as afteragainst a thief;,
30:6 So that they dwell in frightfuldreadful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.
30:7 Among the bushes they braycry out; Under the nettles they are gathered together.
30:8 TheyFools, areeven childrenthose ofwithout fools,a yeaname, children of base men; They were scourged outfrom of the land.
30:9 And now I amhave become their songtaunt, Yea, I amhave even become a byword untoto them.
30:10 They abhor me, theyand stand aloof from me, And sparethey do not torefrain spitfrom inspitting at my face.
30:11 ForBecause heHe hathhas loosed hisHis cord,bowstring and afflicted me;, AndThey they have cast off the bridle before me.
30:12 UponOn mythe right hand risetheir thebrood rabblearises; They thrust aside my feet, Andand theybuild cast up against me their ways of destruction.
30:13 They marbreak up my path, They setprofit forwardfrom my calamitydestruction, EvenNo menone thatrestrains have no helperthem.
30:14 As through a wide breach they come:, InAmid the midsttempest of the ruin they roll themselves upon meon.
30:15 Terrors are turned uponagainst me;, They chasepursue minemy honor as the wind;, And my welfareprosperity ishas passed away aslike a cloud.
30:16 And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have takenseized hold upon me.
30:17 InAt the night seasonit pierces my bones arewithin pierced in me, And themy gnawing pains that gnaw me take no rest.
30:18 By Godsa great force is my garment disfiguredis distorted; It bindethbinds me about as the collar of my coat.
30:19 He hathhas cast me into the mire, And I amhave become like dust and ashes.
30:20 I cry untoout theeto Thee for help, andbut thouThou dost not answer me:; I stand up, and thouThou gazestdost atturn Thy attention against me.
30:21 Thou arthast turnedbecome to be cruel to me; With the might of thyThy hand thouThou persecutestdost persecute me.
30:22 Thou liftestdost lift me up to the wind, thouand causestcause me to ride upon it; And thouThou dissolvestdost dissolve me in thea storm.
30:23 For I know that thouThou wilt bring me to death, And to the house appointedof meeting for all living.
30:24 HowbeitYet dothdoes not one stretchin outa theheap handof inruins stretch out his fall?hand, Or in his calamitydisaster therefore cry out for help?
30:25 DidHave I not Iwept weep for himthe thatone waswhose inlife troubleis hard? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?
30:26 When I lookedexpected for good, then evil came; AndWhen when I waited for light, therethen darkness came darkness.
30:27 MyI heartam isseething troubledwithin, and restethcannot notrelax; Days of affliction areconfront come upon me.
30:28 I go about mourning without thecomfort; sun: I stand up in the assembly, and cry out for help.
30:29 I amhave become a brother to jackals, And a companion toof ostriches.
30:30 My skin isturns black, andon falleth from me, And my bones areburn burned with heatfever.
30:31 Therefore is my harp is turned to mourning, And my pipeflute intoto the voicesound of themthose thatwho weep.
31:1 I Have made a covenant with minemy eyes; How then shouldcould I lookgaze uponat a virgin?
31:2 ForAnd what is the portion fromof God from above, AndOr the heritage fromof the Almighty from on high?
31:3 Is it not calamity to the unrighteousunjust, And disaster to thethose workerswho ofwork iniquity?
31:4 DothDoes He not he see my ways, And number all my steps?
31:5 If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot hathhas hastedhastened toafter deceit,
31:6 Let meHim beweigh weighedme inwith anaccurate even balancescales, ThatAnd let God may know minemy integrity;.
31:7 If my step hathhas turned outfrom of the way, AndOr my heart walkedfollowed aftermy mine eyes, AndOr if any spot hathhas cleavedstuck to my hands:,
31:8 ThenLet let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, And let the produce of my fieldcrops be rooted outuprooted.
31:9 If my heart hathhas been enticed untoby a woman, AndOr I have laidlurked wait at my neighbors door;doorway,
31:10 ThenMay let my wife grind untofor another, And let others bowkneel down uponover her.
31:11 For that werewould be a heinouslustful crime; YeaMoreover, it werewould be an iniquity topunishable be punished by the judges:.
31:12 For it iswould abe fire that consumethconsumes untoto DestructionAbaddon, And would rootuproot out all minemy increase.
31:13 If I have despised the causeclaim of my manmale servant or offemale myslaves maid servant, When they contendedfiled witha complaint against me;,
31:14 What then shallcould I do when God risetharises, up? And when heHe visitethcalls me to account, what shallwill I answer himHim?
31:15 Did not heHe thatwho made me in the womb make him?, And didthe notsame one fashion us in the womb?
31:16 If I have withheldkept the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
31:17 Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherlessorphan hathhas not eatenshared thereofit
31:18 Nay,But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And herfrom haveinfancy I guided from my mothers womb;her,
31:19 If I have seen anyanyone perish for wantlack of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;,
31:20 If his loins have not blessedthanked me, And if he hathhas not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;,
31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherlessorphan, Because I saw myI helphad support in the gate:,
31:22 ThenLet let my shoulder fall from the shoulder bladesocket, And minemy arm be broken fromoff at the boneelbow.
31:23 For calamity from God is a terror to me, And bybecause reason of hisHis majesty I can do nothing.
31:24 If I have madeput gold my hopeconfidence in gold, And havecalled said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;trust,
31:25 If I have rejoicedgloated because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gottensecured so much;
31:26 If I have beheldlooked at the sun when it shinedshone, Or the moon walkinggoing in brightnesssplendor,
31:27 And my heart hathbecame been secretly enticed, And my mouthhand haththrew kisseda kiss from my hand:mouth,
31:28 ThisThat alsotoo werewould have been an iniquity tocalling befor punishedjudgment, by the judges; For I shouldwould have denied the God that is above.
31:29 IfHave I have rejoiced at the destructionextinction of himmy that hated meenemy, Or liftedexulted up myself when evil foundbefell him?
31:30 YeaNo, I have not sufferedallowed my mouth to sin By asking for his life within a curse;.
31:31 IfHave the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one thatwho hathhas not been filledsatisfied with his meat ?
31:32 The sojourneralien hathhas not lodged inoutside, theFor street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller;traveler.
31:33 IfHave like Adam I have covered my transgressions like Adam, By hiding minemy iniquity in my bosom,
31:34 Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, SoAnd that I kept silence,silent and wentdid not go out of the door—doors?
31:35 Oh that I had one to hear me! LoBehold, here is my signature,; letLet the Almighty answer me! And that I had the indictment which minemy adversary hathhas written!,
31:36 Surely I would carry it uponon my shoulder; I would bind it untoto memyself aslike a crown:.
31:37 I would declare untoto himHim the number of my steps; AsLike a prince would I gowould nearapproach unto himHim.
31:38 If my land criethcries out against me, And theits furrows thereof weep together;
31:39 If I have eaten theits fruitsfruit thereof without money, Or have caused theits owners thereof to lose their life:lives,
31:40 Let thistlesbriars grow instead of wheat, And cocklestinkweed instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
32:1 SoThen these three men ceased toanswering answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
32:2 ThenBut was kindled the wrathanger of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: burned; against Job was his wrathanger kindledburned, because he justified himself ratherbefore than God.
32:3 AlsoAnd against his threeanger friendsburned wasagainst his wraththree kindled,friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
32:4 Now Elihu had waited to speak untoto Job, because they were elderyears older than he.
32:5 And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of thesethe three men, his wrathanger was kindledburned.
32:6 AndSo Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answeredspoke out and said, I am young, in years and yeyou are very old; WhereforeTherefore I heldwas back,shy and durstafraid notto showtell you minewhat opinionI think.
32:7 I said,thought Daysage should speak, And multitudeincreased of years should teach wisdom.
32:8 But thereit is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty givethgives them understanding.
32:9 ItThe isabundant notin theyears greatmay thatnot arebe wise, Nor themay agedelders that understand justice.
32:10 ThereforeSo I saidsay, HearkenListen to me;, I alsotoo will showtell minewhat opinionI think.
32:11 Behold, I waited for your words, I listened forto your reasonings, WhilstWhile yeyou searchedpondered out what to say.
32:12 Yea, I attendedeven untopaid close attention to you, AndIndeed, behold, there was noneno thatone convincedwho refuted Job, OrNot thatone of you who answered his words, among you.
32:13 BewareDo lestnot ye say, We have found wisdom; God maywill vanquishrout him, not man:.
32:14 For he hathhas not directedarranged his words against me; NeitherNor will I answerreply to him with your speechesarguments.
32:15 They are amazeddismayed, they answer no more:; TheyWords have notfailed a word to saythem.
32:16 And shall I wait, because they speakdo not speak, Because they standstop still, and answer no more?
32:17 I alsotoo will answer my partshare, I also will showtell minemy opinion.
32:18 For I am full of words; The spirit within me constrainethconstrains me.
32:19 Behold, my breastbelly is aslike unvented wine, which hath no vent; Like new winewineskins skins it is readyabout to burst.
32:20 ILet willme speak, that I may beget refreshedrelief; ILet willme open my lips and answer.
32:21 Let me not,now Ibe praypartial you,to respectno any mans personone; NeitherNor willflatter I give flattering titles unto any man.
32:22 For I knowdo not toknow givehow flatteringto titles;flatter, Else would my Maker would soon take me away.
33:1 HowbeitHowever now, Job, Iplease pray thee, hear my speech, And hearkenlisten to all my words.
33:2 Behold now, I haveopen opened my mouth;, My tongue hath spoken in my mouth speaks.
33:3 My words shallare utterfrom the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips knowspeak theyknowledge shall speak sincerely.
33:4 The Spirit of God hathhas made me, And the breath of the Almighty givethgives me life.
33:5 IfRefute thoume canst,if answeryou thou mecan; SetArray thyyourselves words in order before me, take your stand forth.
33:6 Behold, I ambelong towardto God evenlike asyou; thouI art:too Ihave alsobeen am formed out of the clay.
33:7 Behold, myno terrorfear shallof notme makeshould theeterrify afraidyou, NeitherNor shallshould my pressure beweigh heavyheavily uponon theeyou.
33:8 Surely thouyou hasthave spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voicesound of thyyour words, saying,:
33:9 I am cleanpure, without transgression; I am innocent, neitherand there is thereno iniquityguilt in me:.
33:10 Behold, heHe findethinvents occasionspretexts against me,; He countethcounts me foras hisHis enemy;.
33:11 He puttethputs my feet in the stocks,; He markethwatches all my paths.
33:12 Behold, Ilet willme answertell theeyou, inyou thisare thounot artright notin just;this, For God is greater than man.
33:13 Why dostdo thouyou strivecomplain against himHim, ForThat thatHe hedoes giveth not give an account of anyall ofHis his mattersdoings?
33:14 ForIndeed God speakethspeaks once, YeaOr twice, thoughyet manno regardethone notices it not.
33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deepsound sleep fallethfalls uponon men, InWhile slumberingsthey uponslumber thein bed;their beds,
33:16 Then heHe openethopens the ears of men, And sealethseals their instruction,
33:17 That heHe may withdrawturn man aside from his purposeconduct, And hidekeep prideman from manpride;
33:18 He keepethkeeps back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishingpassing byover theinto swordSheol.
33:19 HeMan is also chastened also with pain uponon his bed, And with continualunceasing strifecomplaint in his bones;
33:20 So that his life abhorrethloathes bread, And his soul daintyfavorite food.
33:21 His flesh iswastes consumed away, thatfrom itsight, cannot be seen; And his bones thatwhich were not seen stick out.
33:22 Yea,Then his soul drawethdraws near untoto the pit, And his life to thethose destroyerswho bring death.
33:23 If there beis with him an angel, Anas interpretermediator for him, oneOne amongout of a thousand, To showremind untoa man what is right for him;,
33:24 Then Godlet ishim be gracious untoto him, and saithsay, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.;
33:25 HisLet his flesh shallbecome be fresher than ain childs;youth, HeLet returnethhim return to the days of his youth.youthful vigor;
33:26 HeThen prayethhe untowill pray to God, and heHe iswill favorableaccept unto him, SoThat that he seethmay hissee His face with joy:, And heHe restorethmay untorestore manHis hisrighteousness righteousnessto man.
33:27 He singethwill beforesing to men, and saithsay, I have sinned, and perverted thatwhat whichis was right, And it profitedis not proper for me not:.
33:28 He hathhas redeemed my soul from going intoto the pit, And my life shall beholdsee the light.
33:29 LoBehold, all these things doth God work,does Twice,all yeathese thrice,oftentimes with a manmen,
33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the livinglife.
33:31 MarkPay wellattention, O Job, hearkenlisten untoto me:; HoldKeep thysilent peace, and Ilet willme speak.
33:32 IfThen thouif hastyou have anything to say, answer me:; Speak, for I desire to justify theeyou.
33:33 If not, hearkenlisten thouto unto me:; HoldKeep thy peacesilent, and I will teach theeyou wisdom.
34:1 MoreoverThen Elihu answeredcontinued and said,
34:2 Hear my words, yeyou wise men;, And givelisten earto unto me, yeyou thatwho have knowledgeknow.
34:3 For the ear triethtests words, As the palate tastethtastes food.
34:4 Let us choose for usourselves thatwhat which is right:; Let us know among ourselves what is good.
34:5 For Job hathhas said, I am righteous, AndBut God hathhas taken away my right:;
34:6 NotwithstandingShould my right I amlie accountedconcerning amy liar;right? My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.
34:7 What man is like Job, Who drinkethdrinks up scoffingderision like water,
34:8 Who goethgoes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walkethwalks with wicked men?
34:9 For he hathhas said, It profitethprofits a man nothing ThatWhen he shouldis delightpleased himself with God.
34:10 Therefore, hearkenlisten untoto me, yeyou men of understanding:. Far be it from God, thatto he should do wickedness, And from the Almighty, thatto hedo should commit iniquitywrong.
34:11 For theHe workpays of a man willaccording heto renderhis unto himwork, And causemakes everyhim manfind toit find according to his waysway.
34:12 YeaSurely, of a surety, God will not doact wickedly, NeitherAnd will the Almighty will not pervert justice.
34:13 Who gave himHim aauthority charge over the earth? OrAnd who hathhas disposedlaid on Him the whole world?
34:14 If heHe setshould hisdetermine heartto upondo himselfso, If heHe should gather untoto himselfHimself hisHis spirit and hisHis breath;,
34:15 All flesh shallwould perish together, And man shallwould turnreturn againto unto dust.
34:16 IfBut nowif thouyou hasthave understanding, hear this:; HearkenListen to the voicesound of my words.
34:17 Shall even one thatwho hatethhates justice governrule? And wiltwill thouyou condemn hima that is righteous andmighty mighty?—one,
34:18 HimWho thatsays saith to a king, ThouWorthless art vileone, OrTo to nobles, YeWicked are wickedones;
34:19 ThatWho respectethshows notno thepartiality personsto of princes, Nor regardethregards the rich moreabove than the poor;, For they all are the work of hisHis hands.?
34:20 In a moment they die, evenand at midnight; ThePeople people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without a hand.
34:21 For hisHis eyes are upon the ways of a man, And heHe seethsees all his goingssteps.
34:22 There is no darkness, noror thickdeep gloom,shadow Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
34:23 For heHe needethdoes not furtherneed to consider a man further, That he should go before God in judgment.
34:24 He breakethbreaks in pieces mighty men inwithout ways past finding outinquiry, And settethsets others in their steadplace.
34:25 Therefore heHe takethknows knowledge of their works;, And heHe overturnethoverthrows them in the night, soAnd that they are destroyedcrushed.
34:26 He strikethstrikes them aslike the wicked men In thea openpublic sight of others;place,
34:27 Because they turned aside from following himHim, And wouldhad notno have regard infor any of hisHis ways:;
34:28 So that they caused the cry of the poor to come untoto himHim, And hethat heardHe might hear the cry of the afflicted.
34:29 When heHe givethkeeps quietnessquiet, who then can condemn? And when heHe hidethhides hisHis face, who then can behold him?Him, AlikeThat whetheris, itin beregard doneto untoboth a nation, orand unto a man:?
34:30 ThatSo thethat godless manmen reignshould not rule, ThatNor there be nonesnares toof ensnare the people.
34:31 For hathhas anyanyone said untoto God, I have borne chastisement,; I will not offend any more:anymore;
34:32 ThatTeach whichThou me what I seedo not teachsee; thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more ?
34:33 Shall hisHe recompense beon asyour thou wiltterms, thatbecause thouyou refusesthave rejected it? For thouyou must choose, and not I:; Therefore speakdeclare what thouyou knowestknow.
34:34 Men of understanding will say untoto me, Yea,And everya wise man thatwho hearethhears me:,
34:35 Job speakethspeaks without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom.
34:36 WouldJob thatought Jobto werebe tried untoto the endlimit, Because ofhe hisanswers answering like wicked men.
34:37 For he addethadds rebellion untoto his sin; He clappethclaps his hands among us, And multipliethmultiplies his words against God.
35:1 MoreoverThen Elihu answeredcontinued and said,
35:2 ThinkestDo thouyou think this tois beaccording thyto right,justice? OrDo sayestyou thousay, My righteousness is more than Gods, ?
35:3 ThatFor thouyou sayestsay, What advantage will it be untoto theeYou? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?
35:4 I will answer theeyou, And thyyour companionsfriends with theeyou.
35:5 Look untoat the heavens, and see; And behold the skies,clouds whichthey are higher than thouyou.
35:6 If thouyou hasthave sinned, what effectestdo thouyou accomplish against himHim? And if thyyour transgressions beare multipliedmany, what doestdo thouyou untodo himto Him?
35:7 If thouyou beare righteous, what givestdo thouyou himgive to Him? Or what receivethdoes heHe ofreceive thyfrom your hand?
35:8 ThyYour wickedness mayis hurtfor a man aslike thouyourself, art; And thyyour righteousness mayis profitfor a son of man.
35:9 ByBecause reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help bybecause reason of the arm of the mighty.
35:10 But noneno saithone says, Where is God my Maker, Who givethgives songs in the night,
35:11 Who teachethteaches us more than the beasts of the earth, And makethmakes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?
35:12 There they cry out, but noneHe givethdoes not answer, Because of the pride of evil men.
35:13 Surely God will not hearlisten to an empty cry, NeitherNor will the Almighty regard it.
35:14 How much less when thouyou sayestsay thouyou beholdestdo himnot notbehold Him, The causecase is before himHim, and thouyou waitestmust wait for himHim!
35:15 ButAnd now, because heHe hathhas not visited in hisHis anger, NeitherNor dothhas heHe greatlyacknowledged regardtransgression arrogance;well,
35:16 ThereforeSo doth Job openopens his mouth in vanityemptily; He multipliethmultiplies words without knowledge.
36:1 Then Elihu alsocontinued proceeded, and said,
36:2 SufferWait for me a little, and I will show thee;you ForThat Ithere haveis yet somewhatmore to saybe onsaid in Gods behalf.
36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
36:4 For truly my words are not false:; One thatwho is perfect in knowledge is with theeyou.
36:5 Behold, God is mighty, andbut despisethdoes not despise any:; He is mighty in strength of understanding.
36:6 He preservethdoes not thekeep life of the wicked alive, But givethgives justice to the afflicted their right.
36:7 He withdrawethdoes not hiswithdraw His eyes from the righteous:; But with kings uponon the throne He settethhas seated them for everforever, and they are exalted.
36:8 And if they beare bound in fetters, And beare takencaught in the cords of affliction;,
36:9 Then heHe showethdeclares to them their work, And their transgressions, that they have behavedmagnified themselves proudly.
36:10 And He openethopens also their ear to instruction, And commandethcommands that they return from iniquityevil.
36:11 If they hearkenhear and serve himHim, They shall spendend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.
36:12 But if they hearkendo not hear, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.
36:13 But theythe that are godless in heart lay up anger:; They crydo not cry for help when heHe bindethbinds them.
36:14 They die in youth, And their life perishethperishes among the uncleancult prostitutes.
36:15 He deliverethdelivers the afflicted byin their affliction, And openethopens their ear in time of oppression.
36:16 YeaThen indeed, heHe wouldenticed haveyou alluredfrom theethe outmouth of distress, IntoInstead of it, a broad place, wherewith there is no straitnessconstraint; And that which iswas set on thyyour table wouldwas be full of fatness.
36:17 But thouyou artwere full of the judgment ofon the wicked:; Judgment and justice take hold onof theeyou.
36:18 ForBeware letlest not wrath stirentice theeyou upto against chastisementsscoffing; NeitherAnd do not let the greatness of the ransom turn theeyou aside.
36:19 Will thyyour cryriches avail,keep thatyou thoufrom be not in distress, Or all the forces of thyyour strength?
36:20 DesireDo not long for the night, When peoplespeople arevanish cut off in their place.
36:21 TakeBe heedcareful, regarddo not iniquity:turn to evil; For thisyou hasthave thoupreferred chosenthis ratherto than affliction.
36:22 Behold, God doethis loftilyexalted in hisHis power:; Who is a teacher like unto himHim?
36:23 Who hathhas enjoinedappointed himHim hisHis way?, OrAnd who canhas saysaid, Thou hast wroughtdone unrighteousnesswrong ?
36:24 Remember that thouyou magnifyshould hisexalt His work, WhereofOf which men have sung.
36:25 All men have lookedseen thereonit; Man beholdethbeholds itfrom afar off.
36:26 Behold, God is greatexalted, and we do not know him notHim; The number of hisHis years is unsearchable.
36:27 For heHe drawethdraws up the drops of water, WhichThey distildistill in rain from histhe vapormist,
36:28 Which the skiesclouds pour down, AndThey dropdrip upon man abundantly.
36:29 Yea,Can cananyone any understand the spreadingsspreading of the clouds, The thunderingsthundering of hisHis pavilion?
36:30 Behold, heHe spreadethspreads hisHis lightlightning aroundabout him;Him, And heHe coverethcovers the bottomdepths of the sea.
36:31 For by these heHe judgethjudges the peoples; He givethgives food in abundance.
36:32 He coverethcovers hisHis hands with the lightning, And givethcommands it ato charge that it strike the mark.
36:33 TheIts noise thereofdeclares tellethHis concerningpresence; him, The cattle also, concerning thewhat stormis thatcoming cometh up.
37:1 Yea,At at this also my heart tremblethtrembles, And isleaps movedfrom out of its place.
37:2 Hear,Listen oh,closely hearto the noisethunder of hisHis voice, And the soundrumbling that goethgoes out offrom hisHis mouth.
37:3 HeUnder sendeththe itwhole forthheaven underHe thelets wholeit heavenloose, And hisHis lightning untoto the ends of the earth.
37:4 After it, a voice roarethroars; He thundereththunders with theHis majestic voice of his majesty; And heHe restrainethdoes not restrain the lightnings when hisHis voice is heard.
37:5 God thundereththunders marvellously with hisHis voice; Greatwondrously, thingsDoing doethgreat he,things which we cannot comprehend.
37:6 For he saith to the snow He says, Fall thou on the earth;, LikewiseAnd to the showerdownpour ofand the rain, AndBe to the showers of his mighty rainstrong.
37:7 He sealethseals up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know itHis work.
37:8 Then the beastsbeast gogoes into covertsits lair, And remainremains in theirits densden.
37:9 Out of the chamber of the south comethcomes the storm, And cold out of the north the cold.
37:10 ByFrom the breath of God ice is given;made, And the breadthexpanse of the waters is straitenedfrozen.
37:11 Yea,Also hewith ladethmoisture He loads the thick cloud with moisture; He spreadethdisperses abroad the cloud of hisHis lightning:.
37:12 And it ischanges turneddirection, roundturning aboutaround by hisHis guidance, That theyit may do whatsoeverwhatever heHe commandethcommands themit UponOn the face of the habitableinhabited world,earth.
37:13 Whether it be for correction, or for hisHis landworld, Or for lovingkindness, thatHe hecauses cause it to comehappen.
37:14 HearkenListen untoto this, O Job:, Stand still, and consider the wondrouswonders works of God.
37:15 DostDo thouyou know how God layethestablishes his charge upon them, And causethmakes the lightning of hisHis cloud to shine?
37:16 DostDo thouyou know about the balancingslayers of the thick clouds, The wondrouswonders works of himone who is perfect in knowledge?,
37:17 HowYou thywhose garments are warmhot, When the earthland is still bybecause reason of the south wind?
37:18 CanstCan thouyou, with himHim, spread out the skyskies, WhichStrong is strong as a molten mirror?
37:19 Teach us what we shall say untoto himHim; ForWe we cannot setarrange our speechcase inbecause order by reason of darkness.
