11:19	You will lie down withoutwith fearno one to frighten you, and many will seek your favor.

12:13	Wisdom and strength belong to God; counsel and understanding are Hishis.

12:23	He makes nations great, then destroys them; Hehe enlarges nations, then leads them away.
12:25	They grope around in darkness without light; Hehe makes them stagger like drunkena mendrunkard.
13:4	ButYou youuse coatlies thelike truth with liesplaster; you are all worthless doctorshealers.
13:7	Would you testify unjustly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Himhim?
13:8	Would you show partiality to Himhim or argue the case in Hishis defense?
13:9	Would it go well if Hehe examined you? Could you deceive Himhim as you would deceive a man?
13:10	Surely Hehe would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.
13:11	Would God’s majesty not terrify you? Would Hishis dread not fall on you?
13:14	WhyI dowill I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?.
13:15	Even if Hehe kills me, I will hope in Himhim. I will still defend my ways before Himhim.
13:16	Yes, this will result in my deliverance, for no godless person can appear before Himhim.
13:20	Only grant these two things to me, God, so that I will not have to hide from Youryour presence:
13:21	remove Youryour hand from me, and do not let Youryour terror frighten me.
13:22	Then call, and I will answer, or I will speak, and Youyou can respond to me.
13:24	Why do Youyou hide Youryour face and consider me Youryour enemy?
13:25	Will Youyou frighten a wind-driven leaf? Will Youyou chase after dry straw?
13:26	For Youyou record bitter accusations against me and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
13:28	ManA person wears out like something rotten, like a moth-eaten garment.
14:1	ManAnyone born of woman is short of days and full of trouble.
14:3	Do Youyou really take notice of one like this? Will Youyou bring me into judgment against Youyou?
14:5	Since mana person’s days are determined and the number of his months depends on Youyou, and since Youyou have set limits he cannot pass,
14:6	look away from him and let him rest so that he can enjoy his day like a hired handworker.
14:9	the smellscent of water makes it thrive and produce twigs like a sapling.
14:10	But a manperson dies and fades away; he breathes his last — where is he?
14:11	As water disappears from thea sealake and a river becomes parched and dry,
14:12	so manpeople lieslie down never to rise again. They will not wake up until the heavens are no more; they will not stir from their sleep.
14:13	If only Youyou would hide me in Sheol and conceal me until Youryour anger passes. If only Youyou would appoint a time for me and then remember me.
14:14	When a manperson dies, will he come back to life? If so, I would wait all the days of my struggle until my relief comes.
14:15	You would call, and I would answer Youyou. You would long for the work of Youryour hands.
14:16	For then Youyou would count my steps but would not take note of my sin.
14:17	My rebellion would be sealed up in a bag, and Youyou would cover over my iniquity.
14:19	as water wears away stones and torrents wash away the soil from the land, so Youyou destroy a man’s hope.
14:20	You completely overpower him, and he passes on; Youyou change his appearance and send him away.
15:4	But you even undermine the fear of God and hinder meditation before Himhim.
15:7	Were you the first personhuman ever born, or were you brought forth before the hills?
15:10	Both the gray-haired and the elderly are with us,— men older than your father.
15:14	What is mana mere human, that he should be pure, or one born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15:15	If God puts no trust in Hishis holy ones and the heavens are not pure in Hishis sight,
15:18	what wasthe declaredwise byhave wisedeclared men and was not suppressedconcealed, bythat came from their ancestors,
15:19	to whom alone the land was given to them alone when no foreigner passed among them.
15:20	A wicked manperson writhes in pain all his days;, onlythroughout athe fewnumber of years are reserved for the ruthless.
15:23	He wanders about for food, sayingasking, “Where is it?” He knows the day of darkness is at hand.
15:26	He rushes headlong at Himhim with his thick, studded shields.
16:6	EvenIf if I speak, my suffering is not relieved, and if I hold back, whatdoes haveany Iof lostit leave me?
16:7	Surely Hehe has now exhausted me. You have devastated my entire family.
16:8	You have shriveled me up  — it has become a witness; Mymy frailty rises up against me and testifies to my face.
16:9	His anger tears at me, and Hehe harasses me. He gnashes Hishis teeth at me. My enemy pierces me with Hishis eyes.
16:11	God hands me over to the unjust men; Hehe throws me intoto the hands of the wicked.
16:12	I was at ease, but Hehe shattered me; Hehe seized me by the scruff of the neck and smashed me to pieces. He set me up as Hishis target;
16:13	Hishis archers surround me. He pierces my kidneys without mercy and pours my bile on the ground.
16:14	He breaks through my defenses again and again; Hehe charges at me like a warrior.
16:21	I wish that someone might arbitrateargue betweenfor a man andwith God just as aanyone manwould pleads for hisa friend.
17:2	Surely mockers surround me, and my eyes must gaze at their rebellion.
17:3	MakeAccept arrangementsmy pledge! Put up security for me. Who else will be my sponsor?
17:4	You have closed their minds to understanding, therefore Youyou will not honor them.
17:5	If a man informsdenounces on his friends for a price, the eyes of his children will fail.
17:14	and say to corruption:, “You are my father,,” and to the maggot:, “My mother” or my“My sister,,”
18:4	You who tear yourself in anger  — should the earth be abandoned on your account, or a rock be removed from its place?
19:6	then understand that it is God who has wronged me and caught me in Hishis net.
19:7	I cry out:, “Violence!” but get no response; I call for help, but there is no justice.
19:8	He has blocked my way so that I cannot pass through; Hehe has veiled my paths with darkness.
19:11	His anger burns against me, and Hehe regards me as one of Hishis enemies.
19:20	My skin and my flesh cling to my bones; I have escaped bywith only the skin of my teeth.
19:25	But I know that my livingRedeemer Redeemerlives, and Heat the end he will stand on the dust. at last.
19:27	I will see Himhim myself; my eyes will look at Himhim, and not as a stranger. My heart longs within me.
20:4	Don’t you know that ever since antiquity, from the time mana human was placed on earth,
20:11	His bonesframe may be full of youthful vigor, but it will lie down with him in thedust. grave.
20:17	He will not enjoy the streams, the rivers flowing with honey and creamcurds.
20:23	When he fills his stomach, God will send Hishis burning anger against him, raining it down on him while he is eating.
20:29	This is the wicked manperson’s lot from God, the inheritance God ordained for him.
21:4	As for me, is my complaint against a manhuman being? Then why shouldn’t I be impatient?
21:14	Yet they say to God:, “Leave us alone! We don’t want to know Youryour ways.
21:15	Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Himhim, and what will we gain by pleading with Himhim?”
21:17	How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? Does disaster come on them? Does Hehe apportion destruction in Hishis anger?
21:22	Can anyone teach God knowledge, since Hehe judges the exalted ones?
21:27	I know your thoughts very well, the schemes by which you would wrong me. with.
21:30	Indeed, the evil manperson is spared from the day of disaster, rescued from the day of wrath.
22:2	Can a man be of any use to God? Can even a wise man be of use to Himhim?
22:3	Does it delight the Almighty if you are righteous? Does Hehe profit if you perfect your behavior?
22:4	Does Hehe correct you and take you to court because of your piety?
22:12	Isn’t God as high as the heavens? And look at the highest stars — how lofty they are!
22:13	Yet you say:, “What does God know? Can Hehe judge through thicktotal darkness?
22:14	Clouds veil Himhim so that Hehe cannot see, as Hehe walks on the circle of the sky.”
22:18	But it was Hehe who filled their houses with good things. The counsel of the wicked is far from me!
22:22	Receive instruction from Hishis mouth, and place Hishis sayings in your heart.
22:27	You will pray to Himhim, and Hehe will hear you, and you will fulfill your vows.
23:3	If only I knew how to find Himhim, so that I could go to Hishis throne.
23:4	I would plead my case before Himhim and fill my mouth with arguments.
23:5	I would learn how Hehe would answer me; and understand what Hehe would say to me.
23:6	Would Hehe prosecute me forcefully? No, Hehe willwould certainly pay attention to me.
23:7	Then an upright man could reason with Himhim, and I would escape from my Judge forever.
23:8	If I go east, Hehe is not there, and if I go west, I cannot perceive Himhim.
23:9	When Hehe is at work to the north, I cannot see Himhim; when Hehe turns south, I cannot find Himhim.
23:10	Yet Hehe knows the way I have taken; when Hehe has tested me, I will emerge as pure gold.
23:11	My feet have followed in Hishis tracks; I have kept to Hishis way and not turned aside.
23:12	I have not departed from the commands offrom Hishis lips; I have treasured the words offrom Hishis mouth more than my daily food.
23:13	But Hehe is unchangeable; who can oppose Himhim? He does what Hehe desires.
23:14	He will certainly accomplish what Hehe has decreed for me, and Hehe has many more things like these in mind.
23:15	Therefore I am terrified in Hishis presence; when I consider this, I am afraid of Himhim.
24:1	Why does the Almighty not reserve times for judgment? Why do those who know Himhim never see Hishis days?
24:5	Like wild donkeys in the desertwilderness, the poor go out to their task of foraging for food; the wildernessdesert provides nourishment for their children.
24:15	The adulterer’s eye watches for twilight, thinking:, “No eye will see me;,” and he covers his face.
24:22	Yet God drags away the mighty by Hishis power; when Hehe rises up, they have no assurance of life.
24:23	He gives them a sense of security, so they can rely on it, but Hishis eyes watch over their ways.
24:24	They are exalted for a moment, then they are gone; they are brought low and shrivel up like everything else. They wither like heads of grain.
25:2	Dominion and dread belong to Himhim, the Oneone who establishes harmony in thehis heavensheights.
25:3	Can Hishis troops be numbered? Does Hishis light not shine on everyone?
25:4	How can a personhuman be justified before God? How can one born of woman be pure?
25:5	If even the moon does not shine and the stars are not pure in Hishis sight,
25:6	how much less mana human, who is a maggot, anda the son of man, who is a worm!
26:3	How you have counseled the unwise and thoroughlyabundantly explainedprovided theinsight! path to success!
26:4	WhoWith whom did you speak these words to? Whose breath came out of your mouth?
26:7	He stretches the northern skies over empty space; Hehe hangs the earth on nothing.
26:8	He wraps up the waterswater in Hishis clouds, yet the clouds do not burst beneath theirits weight.
26:9	He obscures the view of Hishis throne, spreading Hishis cloud over it.
26:11	The pillars that hold up the sky tremble, astounded at Hishis rebuke.
26:12	By Hishis power Hehe stirred the sea, and by Hishis understanding Hehe crushed Rahab.
26:13	By Hishis breath the heavens gained their beauty; Hishis hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
26:14	These are but the fringes of Hishis ways; how faint is the word we hear of Himhim! Who can understand Hishis mighty thunder?
27:8	For what hope does the godless manperson have when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?
27:16	Though he piles up silver like dust and heaps up afine wardrobeclothing like clay —
27:18	The house he built is like a moth’s cocoon or a boothshelter set up by a watchman.
27:22	It blasts at him without mercy, while he flees desperately from its graspforce.
27:23	It claps its hands at him and scornsscoffs at him from its place.
28:6	Its rocks are a source of sapphirelapis lazuli, containing flecks of gold.
28:9	The miner strikesuses thea flint tool and transformsturns up ore from the mountainsroot atof theirthe foundationsmountains.
28:13	No manone can know its value, since it cannot be found in the land of the living.
28:16	Wisdom cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, in precious onyx or sapphirelapis lazuli.
28:23	But God understands the way to wisdom, and Hehe knows its location.
28:24	For Hehe looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.
28:25	When God fixed the weight of the wind and limiteddistributed the water by measure,
28:26	when Hehe established a limit for the rain and a path for the lightning,
28:27	Hehe considered wisdom and evaluated it; Hehe established it and examined it.
28:28	He said to mankind, “The fear of the Lord—that is this: wisdom. And to turn from evil is understanding.”
29:3	when Hishis lamp shone above my head, and I walked through darkness by Hishis light!
29:6	when my feet were bathed in creamcurds and the rock poured out streams of oil for me!
29:12	For I rescued the poor man who cried out for help, and the fatherless child who had no one to support him.
29:13	The dying man blessed me, and I made the widow’s heart rejoice.
29:18	So I thought:, “I will die in my own nest and multiply my days as the sand.
29:20	My strengthwhole being will be refreshed within me, and my bow will be renewed in my hand..”
30:5	They were expelledbanished from human society; people shouted at them as if they were thieves.
30:16	Now my life is poured out before my eyesme, and days of suffering have seized me.
30:18	My clothing is distorted with great force; Hehe chokes me by the neck of my garment.
30:20	I cry out to Youyou for help, but Youyou do not answer me; when I stand up, Youyou merely look at me.
30:21	You have turned against me with cruelty; Youyou harass me with Youryour strong hand.
30:22	You lift me up on the wind and make me ride it; Youyou scatter me in the storm.
30:23	Yes, I know that Youyou will lead me to death — the place appointed for all who live.
30:24	Yet no one would stretch out his hand against a ruined manperson when he cries out to him for help because of his distress.
31:4	Does Hehe not see my ways and number all my steps?
31:6	let God weigh me inon accurate scales, and Hehe will recognize my integrity.
31:9	If my heart has beengone seducedastray byover mya neighbor’swoman wife or I have lurked at hismy neighbor’s door,
31:11	For that would be a disgrace; it would be aan crimeiniquity deserving punishment.
31:14	what could I do when God stands up to judge? How should I answer Himhim when Hehe calls me to account?
31:15	Did not the Oneone who made me in the womb also make them? Did not the same God form us both in the womb?
31:17	if I have eaten my few crumbs alone without letting the fatherless eat any of it —
31:18	for from my youth, I raised him as his father, and since the day I was born I guided the widow —
31:23	For disaster from God terrifies me, and because of Hishis majesty I could not do these things.
31:28	this would also be aan crimeiniquity deserving punishment, for I would have denied God above.
31:33	Have I covered my transgressions as others do by hiding my guiltiniquity in my heart,
31:34	because I greatly feared the crowds, and because the contempt of the clans terrified me, so I grew silent and would not go outside?
31:35	If only I had someone to hear my case! Here is my signature; let the Almighty answer me. Let my Opponent compose Hishis indictment.
31:37	I would give Himhim an account of all my steps; I would approach Himhim like a prince.
32:8	But it is athe spirit in mana andperson— the breath offrom the Almighty— that givegives himanyone understanding.
33:7	Fear of me should not terrify you; theno pressure Ifrom exertme againstshould weigh you willdown. be light.
33:9	“I am pure, without transgression; I am clean and have no guiltiniquity.
33:10	But Hehe finds reasons to oppose me; Hehe regards me as Hishis enemy.
33:11	He puts my feet in the stocks; Hehe stands watch over all my paths.”
33:13	Why do you take Himhim to court for not answering anything a person asks?
33:15	In a dream, a vision in the night, when deep sleep fallscomes onover people as they slumber on their beds,
33:16	Hehe uncovers their ears at that time and terrifies them with warnings,
33:17	in order to turn a person from his actions and suppress histhe pride of a person.
33:26	He will pray to God, and God will delight in him. That manperson will see Hishis face with a shout of joy, and God will restore his righteousness to him.
33:29	God certainly does all these things two or three times to a manperson
34:2	Hear my words, you wise menones, and listen to me, you knowledgeable ones.
34:11	For Hehe repays a person according to his deeds, and Hehe bringsgives him what his waysconduct ondeserves. him.
34:13	Who gave Himhim authority over the earth? Who put Himhim in charge of the entire world?
34:14	If Hehe put Hishis mind to it and withdrew the spirit and breath Hehe gave,
34:19	God is not partial to princes and does not favor the rich over the poor, for they are all the work of Hishis hands.
34:21	For Hishis eyes watch over a man’s ways, and Hehe observes all his steps.
34:22	There is no darkness, no deep darkness, where evildoers can hide. themselves.
34:23	God does not need to examine a person further, that one should approach Himhim in court.
34:25	Therefore, Hehe recognizes their deeds and overthrows them by night, and they are crushed.
34:26	In full view of the public, Hehe strikes them for their wickedness,
34:27	because they turned aside from following Himhim and did not understand any of Hishis ways
34:28	but caused the poor to cry out to Himhim, and Hehe heard the outcry of the afflictedneedy.
34:29	But when God is silent, who can declare Himhim guilty? When Hehe hides Hishis face, who can see Himhim? Yet Hehe watches over both individuals and nations,
34:33	Should God repay you on your terms when you have rejected Hishis? You must choose, not I! So declare what you know.
35:3	For you ask, “What does it profit Youyou, and what benefit comes to me, if I do not sin?”
35:6	If you sin, how does it affect God? If you multiply your transgressions, what does it do to Himhim?
35:7	If you are righteous, what do you give Himhim, or what does Hehe receive from your hand?
35:8	Your wickedness affects a person like yourself, and your righteousness, anothera humanson beingof man.
35:9	People cry out because of severe oppression; they shout for help because of the armpower of the mighty.
35:12	There they cry out, but Hehe does not answer, because of the pride of evil menpeople.
35:13	Indeed, God does not listen to empty cries, and the Almighty does not take note of it —
35:14	how much less when you complain that you do not see Himhim, that your case is before Himhim and you are waiting for Himhim.
35:15	But now, because God’s anger does not punish and Hehe does not pay attention to transgression,
36:4	ForIndeed, my argumentswords are withoutnot flawfalse; one who has perfectcomplete knowledge is with you.
36:5	Yes, God is mighty, but Hehe despises no one; Hehe understands all things.
36:6	He does not keep the wicked alive, but Hehe gives justice to the afflictedoppressed.
36:7	He does not removewithdraw Hishis gaze from the righteous, but Hehe seats them forever with enthroned kings, and they are exalted.
36:10	He opens their ears to correction and insiststells theythem to repent from iniquity.
36:11	If they listen and serve Him obedientlyhim, they will end their days in prosperity and their years in happiness.
36:12	But if they do not obeylisten, they will cross the river of death and die without knowledge.
36:15	God rescues the afflicted by their affliction; Hehe instructs them by their torment.
36:16	Indeed, Hehe lured you from the jaws of distress to a spacious and unconfined place. Your table was spread with choice food.
36:22	Look, God shows Himselfhimself exalted by Hishis power. Who is a teacher like Himhim?
36:23	Who has appointed Hishis way for Himhim, and who has declared, “You have done wrong”?
36:24	Remember that you should praise Hishis work, which people have sung about.
36:26	Yes, God is exalted beyond our knowledge; the number of Hishis years cannot be counted.
36:27	For Hehe makes waterdrops evaporate; they distill the rain into its mist,
36:30	See how Hehe spreads Hishis lightning around Himhim and covers the depths of the sea.
36:31	For Hehe judges the nations with these; Hehe gives food in abundance.
36:32	He covers Hishis hands with lightning and commands it to hit its mark.
36:33	The thunder declares Hishis presence; the cattle also, the approaching storm.
37:2	Just listen to Hishis thunderous voice and the rumbling that comes from Hishis mouth.
37:3	He lets it loose beneath the entire sky; Hishis lightning to the ends of the earth.
37:4	Then there comes a roaring sound; God thunders with Hishis majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when Hishis rumbling voice is heard.
37:5	God thunders marvelouslywondrously with Hishis voice; Hehe does great things that we cannot comprehend.
37:6	For Hehe says to the snow, “Fall to the earth,” and the torrential rains, Hishis mighty torrential rains,
37:7	serve as Hishis sign to all mankind, so that all men may know Hishis work.
37:11	He saturates clouds with moisture; Hehe scatters Hishis lightning through them.
37:12	They swirl about, turning round and round at Hishis direction, accomplishing everything Hehe commands them over the surface of the inhabited world.
37:13	He causes this to happen for punishment, for Hishis land, or for Hishis faithful love.
37:15	Do you know how God directs Hishis clouds or makes their lightning flash?
37:16	Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonderful works of Himhim who has perfect knowledge?
37:19	Teach us what we should say to Himhim; we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.
37:20	Should Hehe be told that I want to speak? Can a man speak when he is confused?
37:21	Now menno cannotone can even look at the sun when it is in the skies, after a wind has swept through and cleared themthe awaysky.
37:22	YetOut out of the north Hehe comes, shrouded in a golden glow; awesome majesty surrounds Himhim.
37:23	The Almighty — we cannot reach Himhim — Hehe is exalted in power! He will not oppressviolate justice and abundant righteousness,
37:24	Thereforetherefore, men fear Himhim. He does not look favorably on any who are wise in heart.
38:2	Who is this who obscures Mymy counsel with ignorant words?
38:3	Get ready to answer Meme like a man; when I question you, you will inform Meme.
38:4	Where were you when I established the earth? Tell Meme, if you have understanding.
38:9	when I made the clouds its garment and thicktotal darkness its blanket,
38:11	when I declared:, “You may come this far, but no farther; your proud waves stop here”?
38:18	Have you comprehended the extent of the earth? Tell Meme, if you know all this.
38:35	Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go? Do they report to you:, “Here we are”?
39:6	I made the wildernessdesert its home, and the salty wasteland its dwelling.
39:17	For God has deprived her of wisdom; Hehe has not endowed her with understanding.
39:21	He paws in the valley and rejoices in his strength; Hehe charges into battle.
39:23	A quiver rattles at his side, along with a flashing spear and a lancejavelin.
39:24	He charges ahead with trembling rage; he cannot stand still at the trumpetsound of the ram’s soundhorn.
39:25	When the trumpetram’s horn blasts, he snorts defiantly. He smells the battle from a distance; he hears the officers’ shouts and the battle cry.
40:2	Will the one who contends with the Almighty correct Himhim? Let him who argues with God give an answer.
40:4	I am so insignificant. How can I answer Youyou? I place my hand over my mouth.
40:7	Get ready to answer Meme like a man; When I question you, you will inform Meme.
40:8	Would you really challenge Mymy justice? Would you declare Meme guilty to justify yourself?
40:9	Do you have an arm like God’s? Can you thunder with a voice like Hishis?
40:11	UnleashPour out your raging anger; look on every proud person and humiliate him.
40:15	Look at Behemoth, which I made along with you. He eats grass like ancattle. ox.
40:16	Look at the strength of his loinsback and the power in the muscles of his belly.
41:10	No one is ferocious enough to rouse Leviathan; who then can stand against Meme?
41:11	Who confronted Meme, that I should repay him? Everything under heaven belongs to Meme.
41:33	He has no equal on earth — a creature devoid of fear!
42:2	I know that Youyou can do anything and no plan of Yoursyours can be thwarted.
42:3	You asked, “Who is this who conceals Mymy counsel with ignorance?” Surely I spoke about things I did not understand, things too wonderfulwondrous for me to know.
42:4	You said, “Listen now, and I will speak. When I question you, you will inform Meme.”
42:5	I had heard rumorsreports about Youyou, but now my eyes have seen Youyou.
42:6	Therefore, I takereject back my words and repentam insorry for them; I am dust and ashes.
42:7	After the Lord had finished speaking to Job, Hehe said to Eliphaz the Temanite:, “I am angry with you and your two friends, for you have not spoken the truth about Meme, as Mymy servant Job has.
42:8	Now take seven bulls and seven rams, go to Mymy servant Job, and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. Then Mymy servant Job will pray for you. I will surely accept his prayer and not deal with you as your folly deserves. For you have not spoken the truth about Meme, as Mymy servant Job has.”
42:10	After Job had prayed for his friends, the Lord restored his prosperityfortunes and doubled his previous possessions.
42:11	All his brothers, sisters, and former acquaintances came to hishim house and dined with him in his house. They sympathized with him and comforted him concerning all the adversity the Lord had brought on him. Each one gave him a qesitahpiece of silver and a gold earring.
42:12	So the Lord blessed the last part of Job’s life more than the first. He owned 14,000fourteen thousand sheep, 6and goats,000 six thousand camels, 1,000one thousand yoke of oxen, and 1,000one thousand female donkeys.
