| 1:1 |
There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright and one that feared God and eschewedturned away from evil |
| 1:3 |
His substance also was seven thousand sheep and three thousand camels and five hundred yoke of oxen and five hundred she asses and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the menchildren of the east |
| 1:4 |
And his sons went and feastedheld a feast in theirthe houseshouse everyof each one upon his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them |
| 1:5 |
And it was so when the days of their feasting were gone about that Job sent and sanctified them and rose up early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said It may be that my sons have sinned and cursedrenounced God in their hearts Thus did Job continually |
| 1:6 |
Now thereit wascame ato pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before theJehovah Lordthat and Satan also came also among them |
| 1:7 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto Satan Whence comest thou Then Satan answered theJehovah Lord and said From going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it |
| 1:8 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto Satan Hast thou considered my servant Job thatfor there is none like him in the earth a perfect and an upright man one that feareth God and eschewethturneth away from evil |
| 1:9 |
Then Satan answered theJehovah Lord and said Doth Job fear God for nought |
| 1:10 |
Hast not thou made ana hedge about him and about his house and about all that he hath on every side thou hast blessed the work of his hands and his substance is increased in the land |
| 1:11 |
But put forth thinethy hand now and touch all that he hath and he will curserenounce thee to thy face |
| 1:12 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto Satan Behold all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thinethy hand So Satan went forth from the presence of the LordJehovah |
| 1:13 |
And thereit wasfell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house: |
| 1:14 |
Andthat there came a messenger unto Job and said The oxen were plowing and the asses feeding beside them:; |
| 1:15 |
Andand the Sabeans fell upon them and took them away;: yea they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee |
| 1:17 |
While he was yet speaking there came also another and said The Chaldeans made out three bands and fell upon the camels and have carriedtaken them away yea and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee |
| 1:18 |
While he was yet speaking there came also another and said Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house:; |
| 1:19 |
Andand behold there came a great wind from the wilderness and smote the four corners of the house and it fell upon the young men and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee |
| 1:20 |
Then Job arose and rent his mantlerobe and shaved his head and fell down upon the ground and worshipped; |
| 1:21 |
Andand he said Naked came I out of my mothers womb and naked shall I return thither: theJehovah Lord gave and theJehovah Lord hath taken away; blessed be the name of theJehovah Lord |
| 2:1 |
Again thereit wascame ato pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before theJehovah Lordthat and Satan came also among them to present himself before theJehovah Lord |
| 2:2 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto Satan From whence comest thou And Satan answered theJehovah Lord and said From going to and fro in the earth and from walking up and down in it |
| 2:3 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto Satan Hast thou considered my servant Job thatfor there is none like him in the earth a perfect and an upright man one that feareth God and eschewethturneth away from evil: and he still he holdeth fast his integrity although thou movedst me against him to destroy him without cause |
| 2:4 |
And Satan answered theJehovah Lord and said Skin for skin yea all that a man hath will he give for his life |
| 2:5 |
But put forth thinethy hand now and touch his bone and his flesh and he will curserenounce thee to thy face |
| 2:6 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto Satan Behold he is in thinethy hand; butonly savespare his life |
| 2:7 |
So Satan went Satan forth from the presence of theJehovah Lord and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown |
| 2:8 |
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withaltherewith; and he sat down among the ashes |
| 2:9 |
Then said his wife unto him Dost thou still retainhold fast thine integrity curserenounce God and die |
| 2:11 |
Now when Jobs three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him they came every one from his own place;: Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite:; forand they had made an appointment together to come to mournbemoan with him and to comfort him |
| 2:12 |
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off and knew him not they lifted up their voice and wept; and they rent every one his mantlerobe and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven |
| 3:2 |
And Job spakeanswered and said: |
| 3:3 |
Let the day perish wherein I was born andAnd the night in which it was said There is a man child conceived |
| 3:4 |
Let that day be darkness; letLet not God regard it from above neitherseek for it Neither let the light shine upon it |
| 3:5 |
Let darkness and the shadow of death stainclaim it for their own; letLet a cloud dwell upon it; letLet theall blacknessthat ofmaketh black the day terrify it |
| 3:6 |
As for that night let thick darkness seize upon it;: letLet it not berejoice joinedamong unto the days of the year; letLet it not come into the number of the months |
| 3:7 |
Lo let that night be solitarybarren; letLet no joyful voice come therein |
| 3:8 |
Let them curse it that curse the day whoWho are ready to raiserouse up their mourningleviathan |
| 3:9 |
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark;: letLet it look for light but have none; neitherNeither let it seebehold the dawningeyelids of the daymorning: |
| 3:10 |
Because it shut not up the doors of my mothers womb norNor hid sorrowtrouble from mine eyes |
| 3:11 |
Why died I not from the womb whyWhy did I not give up the ghost when Imy camemother outbare of the bellyme |
| 3:12 |
Why did the knees preventreceive me orOr why the breasts that I should suck |
| 3:13 |
For now should I have lain stilldown and been quiet; I should have slept:; then had I been at rest |
| 3:14 |
With kings and counsellors of the earth whichWho buildbuilt desolateup waste places for themselves; |
| 3:15 |
Or with princes that had gold whoWho filled their houses with silver: |
| 3:16 |
Or as ana hidden untimely birth I had not been; asAs infants whichthat never saw light |
| 3:17 |
There the wicked cease from troubling; andAnd there the weary beare at rest |
| 3:18 |
There the prisoners restare at ease together; theyThey hear not the voice of the oppressortaskmaster |
| 3:19 |
The small and the great are there;: andAnd the servant is free from his master |
| 3:20 |
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery andAnd life unto the bitter in soul; |
| 3:21 |
WhichWho long for death but it cometh not; andAnd dig for it more than for hid treasures; |
| 3:22 |
WhichWho rejoice exceedingly andAnd are glad when they can find the grave |
| 3:23 |
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid andAnd whom God hath hedged in |
| 3:24 |
For my sighing cometh before I eat andAnd my roaringsgroanings are poured out like the waterswater |
| 3:25 |
For the thing which I greatlyfear fearedcometh is come upon me andAnd that which I wasam afraid of iscometh come unto me |
| 3:26 |
I wasam not inat safetyease neither hadam I restquiet neither washave I quietrest; yetBut trouble camecometh |
| 4:1 |
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said |
| 4:2 |
If weone assay to commune with thee wilt thou be grieved butBut who can withhold himself from speaking |
| 4:3 |
Behold thou hast instructed many andAnd thou hast strengthened the weak hands |
| 4:4 |
Thy words have upholden him that was falling andAnd thou hast strengthenedmade firm the feeble knees |
| 4:5 |
But now it is come uponunto thee and thou faintest; itIt toucheth thee and thou art troubled |
| 4:6 |
Is not this thy fear thyof confidenceGod thy hopeconfidence andAnd the uprightnessintegrity of thy ways thy hope |
| 4:7 |
Remember I pray thee who ever perished being innocent orOr where were the righteousupright cut off |
| 4:8 |
EvenAccording as I have seen they that plow iniquity andAnd sow wickednesstrouble reap the same |
| 4:9 |
By the blastbreath of God they perish andAnd by the breathblast of his nostrilsanger are they consumed |
| 4:10 |
The roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion andAnd the teeth of the young lions are broken |
| 4:11 |
The old lion perisheth for lack of prey andAnd the stoutwhelps lionsof whelpsthe lioness are scattered abroad |
| 4:12 |
Now a thing was secretly brought to me andAnd mine ear received a littlewhisper thereof |
| 4:13 |
In thoughts from the visions of the night whenWhen deep sleep falleth on men |
| 4:14 |
Fear came upon me and trembling whichWhich made all my bones to shake |
| 4:15 |
Then a spirit passed before my face; theThe hair of my flesh stood up: |
| 4:16 |
It stood still but I could not discern the formappearance thereof:; anA imageform was before mine eyes: thereThere was silence and I heard a voice saying |
| 4:17 |
Shall mortal man be more just than God shallShall a man be more pure than his makerMaker |
| 4:18 |
Behold he putputteth no trust in his servants; andAnd his angels he chargedchargeth with folly: |
| 4:19 |
How much lessmore in them that dwell in houses of clay whoseWhose foundation is in the dust whichWho are crushed before the moth |
| 4:20 |
TheyBetwixt aremorning destroyedand fromevening morningthey toare eveningdestroyed: theyThey perish for ever without any regarding it |
| 4:21 |
DothIs not their excellencytent whichcord isplucked inup within them goThey awaydie theyand diethat even without wisdom |
| 5:1 |
Call now; ifis there be any that will answer thee; andAnd to which of the saintsholy ones wilt thou turn |
| 5:2 |
For wrathvexation killeth the foolish man andAnd envyjealousy slayeth the silly one |
| 5:3 |
I have seen the foolish taking root: butBut suddenly I cursed his habitation |
| 5:4 |
His children are far from safety andAnd they are crushed in the gate neitherNeither is there any to deliver them: |
| 5:5 |
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up andAnd taketh it even out of the thorns; andAnd the robbersnare swallowethgapeth upfor their substance |
| 5:6 |
AlthoughFor affliction cometh not forth offrom the dust neitherNeither doth trouble spring out of the ground; |
| 5:7 |
YetBut man is born unto trouble asAs the sparks fly upward |
| 5:8 |
But as for me I would seek unto God andAnd unto God would I commit my cause:; |
| 5:9 |
WhichWho doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellousMarvellous things without number: |
| 5:10 |
Who giveth rain upon the earth andAnd sendeth waters upon the fields:; |
| 5:11 |
ToSo setthat he setteth up on high those that beare low; thatAnd those whichthat mourn mayare be exalted to safety |
| 5:12 |
He disappointethfrustrateth the devices of the crafty soSo that their hands cannot perform their enterprise |
| 5:13 |
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness:; andAnd the counsel of the frowardcunning is carried headlong |
| 5:14 |
They meet with darkness in the day time andAnd grope inat the noonday as in the night |
| 5:15 |
But he saveth the poor from the sword fromof their mouth andEven the needy from the hand of the mighty |
| 5:16 |
So the poor hath hope andAnd iniquity stoppeth her mouth |
| 5:17 |
Behold happy is the man whom God correcteth: thereforeTherefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty: |
| 5:18 |
For he maketh sore and bindeth up:; heHe woundeth and his hands make whole |
| 5:19 |
He shallwill deliver thee in six troubles:; yeaYea in seven there shall no evil touch thee |
| 5:20 |
In famine he shallwill redeem thee from death:; andAnd in war from the power of the sword |
| 5:21 |
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue:; neitherNeither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh |
| 5:22 |
At destruction and faminedearth thou shalt laugh:; neitherNeither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth |
| 5:23 |
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field:; andAnd the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee |
| 5:24 |
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacletent shallis be in peace; andAnd thou shalt visit thy habitationfold and shalt notmiss sinnothing |
| 5:25 |
Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great andAnd thine offspring as the grass of the earth |
| 5:26 |
Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age likeLike as a shock of corngrain cometh in in hisits season |
| 5:27 |
Lo this we have searched it so it is; hearHear it and know thou it for thy good |
| 6:1 |
ButThen Job answered and said |
| 6:2 |
Oh that my griefvexation were throughlybut weighed andAnd all my calamity laid in the balances together |
| 6:3 |
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seaseas: thereforeTherefore have my words arebeen swallowed uprash |
| 6:4 |
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me theThe poison whereof my spirit drinketh up my spirit: theThe terrors of God do set themselves in array against me |
| 6:5 |
Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass orOr loweth the ox over his fodder |
| 6:6 |
Can that which ishath unsavouryno savor be eaten without salt orOr is there any taste in the white of an egg |
| 6:7 |
TheMy things that my soul refusedrefuseth to touch them; They are as myloathsome sorrowfulfood meatto me |
| 6:8 |
Oh that I might have my request; andAnd that God would grant me the thing that I long for |
| 6:9 |
Even that it would please God to destroycrush me; thatThat he would let loose his hand and cut me off |
| 6:10 |
ThenAnd shouldbe Iit yetstill havemy comfort;consolation yeaYea Ilet wouldme hardenexult myself in sorrow:pain letthat himspareth not spare;That for I have not concealeddenied the words of the Holy One |
| 6:11 |
What is my strength that I should hopewait andAnd what is mine end that I should prolongbe my lifepatient |
| 6:12 |
Is my strength the strength of stones orOr is my flesh of brass |
| 6:13 |
Is it not mythat I have no help in me andAnd isthat wisdom is driven quite from me |
| 6:14 |
To him that is afflictedready pityto faint kindness should be shewedshowed from his friend; butEven heto him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty |
| 6:15 |
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook andAs as the streamchannel of brooks theythat pass away; |
| 6:16 |
Which are blackishblack by reason of the ice andAnd wherein the snow ishideth hiditself: |
| 6:17 |
What time they wax warm they vanish:; whenWhen it is hot they are consumed out of their place |
| 6:18 |
The pathscaravans ofthat theirtravel by the way areof turnedthem turn aside; theyThey go toup nothinginto the waste and perish |
| 6:19 |
The troopscaravans of Tema looked theThe companies of Sheba waited for them |
| 6:20 |
They were confoundedput to shame because they had hoped; theyThey came thither and were ashamedconfounded |
| 6:21 |
For now ye are nothing; yeYe see mya castingterror down and are afraid |
| 6:22 |
Did I say BringGive unto me orOr GiveOffer a rewardpresent for me of your substance |
| 6:23 |
Or Deliver me from the enemysadversarys hand orOr Redeem me from the hand of the mightyoppressors |
| 6:24 |
Teach me and I will hold my tongue:peace; andAnd cause me to understand wherein I have erred |
| 6:25 |
How forcible are right words butof uprightness But your reproof what doth yourit arguing reprove |
| 6:26 |
Do ye imaginethink to reprove words andSeeing that the speeches of one that is desperate which are as wind |
| 6:27 |
Yea ye overwhelmwould cast lots upon the fatherless andAnd yemake digmerchandise aof pit for your friend |
| 6:28 |
Now therefore be contentpleased to look upon me; forFor itsurely isI evidentshall untonot youlie ifto Iyour lieface |
| 6:29 |
Return I pray you let itthere not be iniquityno injustice; yeaYea return again my righteousnesscause is in itrighteous |
| 6:30 |
Is there iniquityinjustice inon my tongue cannotCannot my taste discern perversemischievous things |
| 7:1 |
Is there not ana appointedwarfare time to man upon earth And are not his days also like the days of ana hireling |
| 7:2 |
As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow andAnd as ana hireling that looketh for the reward of his workwages: |
| 7:3 |
So am I made to possess months of vanitymisery andAnd wearisome nights are appointed to me |
| 7:4 |
When I lie down I say When shall I arise and the night be gone andAnd I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day |
| 7:5 |
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; myMy skin iscloseth brokenup and becomebreaketh loathsomeout afresh |
| 7:6 |
My days are swifter than a weavers shuttle andAnd are spent without hope |
| 7:7 |
OOh remember that my life is winda breath: mineMine eye shall no more see good |
| 7:8 |
The eye of him that hathseeth seen me shall seebehold me no more:; thineThine eyes areshall be upon me andbut I amshall not be |
| 7:9 |
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: soSo he that goeth down to theSheol grave shall come up no more |
| 7:10 |
He shall return no more to his house neitherNeither shall his place know him any more |
| 7:12 |
Am I a sea or a whalesea thatmonster That thou settest a watch over me |
| 7:13 |
When I say My bed shall comfort me myMy couch shall ease my complaintscomplaint; |
| 7:14 |
Then thou scarest me with dreams andAnd terrifiest me through visions: |
| 7:15 |
So that my soul chooseth strangling andAnd death rather than these my lifebones |
| 7:16 |
I loathe itmy life; I would not live alway: letLet me alone; for my days are vanity |
| 7:17 |
What is man that thou shouldest magnify him andAnd that thou shouldest set thinethy heartmind upon him |
| 7:18 |
And that thou shouldest visit him every morning andAnd try him every moment |
| 7:19 |
How long wilt thou not departlook away from me norNor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle |
| 7:20 |
If I have sinned; what shalldo I do unto thee O thou preserverwatcher of men whyWhy hast thou set me as a mark againstfor thee soSo that I am a burden to myself |
| 7:21 |
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression and take away mymine iniquity forFor now shall I sleeplie down in the dust; andAnd thou shaltwilt seek me indiligently the morning but I shall not be |
| 8:2 |
How long wilt thou speak these things andAnd how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strongmighty wind |
| 8:3 |
Doth God pervert judgmentjustice orOr doth the Almighty pervert justicerighteousness |
| 8:4 |
If thy children have sinned against him andAnd he havehath castdelivered them awayinto forthe hand of their transgression; |
| 8:5 |
If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God betimesAnd and make thy supplication to the Almighty; |
| 8:6 |
If thou wert pure and upright;: surelySurely now he would awake for thee andAnd make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous |
| 8:7 |
ThoughAnd though thy beginning was small yetYet thy latter end shouldwould greatly increase |
| 8:8 |
For enquireinquire I pray thee of the former age andAnd prepareapply thyself to thethat searchwhich of their fathers: have searched out |
| 8:9 |
For we are but of yesterday and know nothing becauseBecause our days upon earth are a shadow:; |
| 8:10 |
Shall not they teach thee and tell thee andAnd utter words out of their heart |
| 8:11 |
Can the rush grow up without mire canCan the flag grow without water |
| 8:12 |
Whilst it is yet in hisits greenness and not cut down itIt withereth before any other herb |
| 8:13 |
So are the paths of all that forget God; andAnd the hypocrites hope of the godless man shall perish: |
| 8:14 |
Whose hopeconfidence shall bebreak cutin offsunder andAnd whose trust shallis be a spiders web |
| 8:15 |
He shall lean upon his house but it shall not stand: heHe shall hold it fast thereby but it shall not endure |
| 8:16 |
He is green before the sun andAnd his branchshoots shootethgo forth inover his garden |
| 8:17 |
His roots are wrapped about the stone heap andHe seethbeholdeth the place of stones |
| 8:18 |
If he destroybe himdestroyed from his place thenThen it shall deny him saying I have not seen thee |
| 8:19 |
Behold this is the joy of his way; andAnd out of the earth shall others growspring |
| 8:20 |
Behold God will not cast away a perfect man neitherNeither will he helpuphold the evil doers: |
| 8:21 |
TillHe hewill yet fill thy mouth with laughinglaughter andAnd thy lips with rejoicingshouting |
| 8:22 |
They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; andAnd the dwellingtent place of the wicked shall comebe tono noughtmore |
| 9:2 |
Of a truth I know that it is so of a truth: butBut how shouldcan man be just with God |
| 9:3 |
If he willbe pleased to contend with him heHe cannot answer him one of a thousand |
| 9:4 |
He is wise in heart and mighty in strength: whoWho hath hardened himself against him and hath prospered— |
| 9:5 |
WhichHim that removeth the mountains and they know it not: whichWhen he overturneth them in his anger; |
| 9:6 |
WhichThat shaketh the earth out of herits place andAnd the pillars thereof tremble; |
| 9:7 |
WhichThat commandeth the sun and it riseth not; andAnd sealeth up the stars; |
| 9:8 |
WhichThat alone spreadethstretcheth out the heavens andAnd treadeth upon the waves of the sea; |
| 9:9 |
WhichThat maketh Arcturusthe Bear Orion and the Pleiades andAnd the chambers of the south; |
| 9:10 |
WhichThat doeth great things past finding out; yeaYea andmarvellous wondersthings without number |
| 9:11 |
Lo he goeth by me and I see him not: heHe passeth on also but I perceive him not |
| 9:12 |
Behold he takethseizeth awaythe prey who can hinder him whoWho will say unto him What doest thou |
| 9:13 |
If God will not withdraw his anger; theThe proud helpers of Rahab do stoop under him |
| 9:14 |
How much less shall I answer him andAnd choose out my words to reason with him |
| 9:15 |
Whom though I were righteous yet would I not answer; but I would make supplication to my judge |
| 9:16 |
If I had called and he had answered me; yetYet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice |
| 9:17 |
For he breaketh me with a tempest andAnd multiplieth my wounds without cause |
| 9:18 |
He will not suffer me to take my breath butBut filleth me with bitterness |
| 9:19 |
If Iwe speak of strength lo he is strong:mighty andAnd if of judgmentjustice whoWho shallsaith sethe mewill asummon time to pleadme |
| 9:20 |
IfThough I justifybe myselfrighteous mine own mouth shall condemn me: ifThough I saybe I am perfect it shall also prove me perverse |
| 9:21 |
Though I weream perfect; yetI wouldregard I not knowmyself; my soul: I would despise my life |
| 9:22 |
ThisIt is all one; thing therefore I saidsay it He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked |
| 9:23 |
If the scourge slay suddenly heHe will laughmock at the trial of the innocent |
| 9:24 |
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked:; heHe covereth the faces of the judges thereof;: ifIf it be not wherehe and who then is heit |
| 9:25 |
Now my days are swifter than a post: theyThey flee away they see no good |
| 9:26 |
They are passed away as the swift ships:; asAs the eagle that hastethswoopeth toon the prey |
| 9:27 |
If I say I will forget my complaint I will leaveput off my heavinesssad countenance and comfortbe myself:of good cheer; |
| 9:29 |
If I shall be wickedcondemned; whyWhy then labourdo I labor in vain |
| 9:30 |
If I wash myself with snow water andAnd make my hands never so clean; |
| 9:31 |
Yet shaltwilt thou plunge me in the ditch andAnd mine own clothes shall abhor me |
| 9:32 |
For he is not a man as I am that I should answer him andThat we should come together in judgment |
| 9:33 |
NeitherThere is thereno anyumpire daysman betwixt us thatThat might lay his hand upon us both |
| 9:34 |
Let him take his rod away from me andAnd let not his fearterror terrifymake me afraid: |
| 9:35 |
Then would I speak and not fear him; butFor itI isam not so within memyself |
| 10:1 |
My soul is weary of my life; I will leavegive free course to my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul |
| 10:2 |
I will say unto God Do not condemn me; shewShow me wherefore thou contendest with me |
| 10:3 |
Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress thatThat thou shouldest despise the work of thinethy hands andAnd shine upon the counsel of the wicked |
| 10:4 |
Hast thou eyes of flesh orOr seest thou as man seeth |
| 10:5 |
Are thy days as the days of man areOr thy years as mans days |
| 10:6 |
That thou enquirestinquirest after mine iniquity andAnd searchest after my sin |
| 10:7 |
ThouAlthough thou knowest that I am not wicked; andAnd there is none that can deliver out of thinethy hand |
| 10:8 |
ThineThy hands have madeframed me and fashioned me togetherTogether round about; yet thou dost destroy me |
| 10:9 |
Remember I beseech thee that thou hast madefashioned me as the clay; andAnd wilt thou bring me into dust again |
| 10:10 |
Hast thou not poured me out as milk andAnd curdled me like cheese |
| 10:11 |
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh andAnd hastknit fenced me together with bones and sinews |
| 10:12 |
Thou hast granted me life and favourlovingkindness; andAnd thy visitation hath preserved my spirit |
| 10:13 |
AndYet these things hast thou hiddidst hide in thinethy heart:; I know that this is with thee: |
| 10:14 |
If I sin then thou markest me andAnd thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity |
| 10:15 |
If I be wicked woe unto me; andAnd if I be righteous yet willshall I not lift up my head; IBeing amfilled fullwith ofignominy confusion;And thereforelooking seeupon thou mine affliction; |
| 10:16 |
ForAnd itif increasethmy Thouhead exalt itself thou huntest me as a fierce lion:; andAnd again thou shewestshowest thyself marvellous upon me |
| 10:17 |
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me andAnd increasest thine indignation upon me;: changesChanges and warwarfare are againstwith me |
| 10:18 |
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb Oh that I had given up the ghost and no eye had seen me |
| 10:20 |
Are not my days few cease then andAnd let me alone that I may take comfort a little |
| 10:21 |
Before I go whence I shall not return evenEven to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death; |
| 10:22 |
AThe land ofdark darkness as darknessmidnight itself;The andland of the shadow of death without any order andAnd where the light is as darknessmidnight |
| 11:2 |
Should not the multitude of words be answered andAnd should a man full of talk be justified |
| 11:3 |
Should thy liesboastings make men hold their peace andAnd when thou mockest shall no man make thee ashamed |

For thou hastsayest said My doctrine is pure andAnd I am clean in thine eyes |

But oh that God would speak andAnd open his lips against thee; |

And that he would shewshow thee the secrets of wisdom thatFor theyhe areis doublemanifold toin thatunderstanding which is Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth |

Canst thou by searching find out God canstCanst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection |
| 11:8 |
It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do deeperDeeper than hellSheol; what canst thou know |

The measure thereof is longer than the earth andAnd broader than the sea |

If he cutpass offthrough and shut up orAnd gatherall togetherunto judgment then who can hinder him |
| 11:11 |
For he knoweth vainfalse men: heHe seeth wickednessiniquity also; willeven though he not then consider it not |

AndThen Job answered and said |

But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yeaYea who knoweth not such things as these |

| 13:1 |
Lo mine eye hath seen all this mineMine ear hath heard and understood it |
| 13:3 |
Surely I would speak to the Almighty andAnd I desire to reason with God |
| 13:4 |
But ye are forgers of lies; yeYe are all physicians of no value |
| 13:5 |
OOh that ye would altogether hold your peace andAnd it shouldwould be your wisdom |
| 13:6 |
Hear now my reasoning andAnd hearken to the pleadings of my lips |
| 13:7 |
Will ye speak wickedlyunrighteously for God andAnd talk deceitfully for him |

Your remembrancesmemorable sayings are likeproverbs untoof ashes yourYour bodiesdefences toare bodiesdefences of clay |
| 13:13 |
Hold your peace let me alone that I may speak; andAnd let come on me what will |
| 13:14 |
Wherefore doshould I take my flesh in my teeth andAnd put my life in minemy hand |
| 13:15 |
ThoughBehold he will slay me; yet will I trusthave inno himhope: butNevertheless I will maintain minemy own ways before him |
| 13:16 |
HeThis also shall be my salvation: forThat ana hypocritegodless man shall not come before him |

Who is he that will pleadcontend with me forFor nowthen ifwould I hold my tonguepeace Iand shall give up the ghost |
| 13:20 |
Only do not two things unto me:; thenThen will I not hide myself from theethy face: |
| 13:21 |
Withdraw thinethy hand far from me:; andAnd let not thy dreadterror make me afraid |
| 13:22 |
Then call thou and I will answer:; orOr let me speak and answer thou me |
| 13:23 |
How many are mine iniquities and sins makeMake me to know my transgression and my sin |
| 13:24 |
Wherefore hidest thou thy face andAnd holdest me for thine enemy |
| 13:25 |
Wilt thou breakharass a leaf driven toleaf andAnd fro and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble |
| 13:26 |
For thou writest bitter things against me andAnd makest me to possessinherit the iniquities of my youth: |
| 13:27 |
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks andAnd lookestmarkest narrowly unto all my paths; thouThou settest a printbound uponto the heelssoles of my feet: |
| 13:28 |
AndThough heI asam like a rotten thing that consumeth asLike a garment that is moth eaten |
| 14:1 |
Man that is born of a woman isIs of few days and full of trouble |
| 14:2 |
He cometh forth like a flower and is cut down: heHe fleeth also as a shadow and continueth not |
| 14:3 |
And dothdost thou open thine eyes upon such ana one andAnd bringest me into judgment with thee |
| 14:5 |
Seeing his days are determined theThe number of his months areis with thee And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; |
| 14:6 |
TurnLook away from him that he may rest tillTill he shall accomplish as ana hireling his day |
| 14:7 |
For there is hope of a tree ifIf it be cut down that it will sprout again andAnd that the tender branch thereof will not cease |
| 14:8 |
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth andAnd the stock thereof die in the ground; |
| 14:9 |
Yet through the scent of water it will bud andAnd bringput forth boughs like a plant |
| 14:10 |
But man dieth and wastethis awaylaid low: yeaYea man giveth up the ghost and where is he |
| 14:11 |
As the waters fail from the sea andAnd the floodriver decayethwasteth and drieth up:; |
| 14:12 |
So man lieth down and riseth not: tillTill the heavens be no more they shall not awake norNor be raisedroused out of their sleep |
| 14:13 |
OOh that thou wouldest hide me in theSheol graveThat that thou wouldest keep me secret until thy wrath be past thatThat thou wouldest appoint me a set time and remember me |
| 14:14 |
If a man die shall he live again allAll the days of my appointedwarfare timewould will I wait tillTill my changerelease should come |
| 14:15 |
Thou shaltwouldest call and I willwould answer thee: thouThou wiltwouldest have a desire to the work of thinethy hands |
| 14:16 |
ForBut now thou numberest my steps: dostDost thou not watch over my sin |
| 14:17 |
My transgression is sealed up in a bag andAnd thou sewestfastenest up mine iniquity |
| 14:18 |
AndBut surely the mountainsmountain falling cometh to nought; andAnd the rock is removed out of hisits place; |
| 14:19 |
The waters wear the stones:; thouThe washestoverflowings awaythereof thewash thingsaway which grow out of the dust of the earth;: andSo thou destroyest the hope of man |
| 14:20 |
Thou prevailest for ever against him and he passeth:; thouThou changest his countenance and sendest him away |
| 14:21 |
His sons come to honourhonor and he knoweth it not; andAnd they are brought low but he perceiveth it not of them |
| 14:22 |
But his flesh upon him shallhath have pain andAnd his soul within him shall mournmourneth |
| 15:2 |
Should a wise man uttermake answer with vain knowledge andAnd fill hishimself belly with the east wind |
| 15:3 |
Should he reason with unprofitable talk orOr with speeches wherewith he can do no good |
| 15:4 |
Yea thou castestdoest offaway with fear andAnd restrainesthinderest prayerdevotion before God |
| 15:5 |
For thythine mouthiniquity utterethteacheth thinethy iniquitymouth andAnd thou choosest the tongue of the crafty |
| 15:6 |
Thine own mouth condemneth thee and not I:; yeaYea thine own lips testify against thee |
| 15:7 |
Art thou the first man that was born orOr wast thou madebrought forth before the hills |
| 15:8 |
Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God andAnd dost thou restrainlimit wisdom to thyself |
| 15:9 |
What knowest thou that we know not whatWhat understandest thou which is not in us |
| 15:10 |
With us are both the grayheaded and the very aged men muchMuch elder than thy father |
| 15:11 |
Are the consolations of God too small withfor thee isEven therethe anyword secretthat thingis withgentle toward thee |
| 15:12 |
Why doth thinethy heart carry thee away andAnd whatwhy do thythine eyes wink atflash |
| 15:13 |
That against God thou turnest thy spirit againstAnd God and lettest such words go out of thy mouth |
| 15:14 |
What is man that he should be clean andAnd he whichthat is born of a woman that he should be righteous |
| 15:15 |
Behold he putteth no trust in his saintsholy ones; yeaYea the heavens are not clean in his sight: |
| 15:16 |
How much moreless one that is abominable and filthycorrupt isA man whichthat drinketh iniquity like water |
| 15:17 |
I will shewshow thee hear thou me; andAnd that which I have seen I will declare; |
| 15:18 |
Which wise men have told fromFrom their fathers and have not hid it:; |
| 15:19 |
Unto whom alone the earthland was given andAnd no stranger passed among them: |
| 15:20 |
The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days andEven the number of years isthat hiddenare tolaid up for the oppressor |
| 15:21 |
A dreadful sound of terrors is in his ears:; inIn prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him |
| 15:22 |
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness andAnd he is waited for of the sword |
| 15:23 |
He wandereth abroad for bread saying Where is it heHe knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand |
| 15:24 |
TroubleDistress and anguish shall make him afraid; theyThey shall prevail against him as a king ready to the battle |
| 15:25 |
ForBecause he stretchethhath stretched out his hand against God andAnd strengthenethbehaveth himself proudly against the Almighty; |
| 15:26 |
He runneth upon him evenwith ona hisstiff neck uponWith the thick bosses of his bucklers:; |
| 15:27 |
Because he coverethhath covered his face with his fatness andAnd makethgathered collops of fat onupon his flanksloins; |
| 15:28 |
And he dwellethhath dwelt in desolate cities andIn in houses which no man inhabitethinhabited whichWhich arewere ready to become heaps; |
| 15:29 |
He shall not be rich neither shall his substance continue neitherNeither shall hetheir prolongpossessions thebe perfectionextended thereofon upon the earth |
| 15:30 |
He shall not depart out of darkness; theThe flame shall dry up his branches andAnd by the breath of hisGods mouth shall he go away |
| 15:31 |
Let not him thatnot is deceived trust in vanity: fordeceiving himself; For vanity shall be his recompencerecompense |
| 15:32 |
It shall be accomplished before his time andAnd his branch shall not be green |
| 15:33 |
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine andAnd shall cast off his flower as the olive tree |
| 15:34 |
For the congregationcompany of hypocritesthe godless shall be desolatebarren andAnd fire shall consume the tabernaclestents of bribery |
| 15:35 |
They conceive mischief and bring forth vanityiniquity andAnd their bellyheart prepareth deceit |
| 16:2 |
I have heard many such things: miserableMiserable comforters are ye all |
| 16:3 |
Shall vain words have an end orOr what emboldenethprovoketh thee that thou answerest |
| 16:4 |
I also could speak as ye do:; ifIf your soul were in my souls stead I could heapjoin up words together against you andAnd shake minemy head at you |
| 16:5 |
But I would strengthen you with my mouth andAnd the movingsolace of my lips shouldwould asswageassuage your grief |
| 16:6 |
Though I speak my grief is not asswaged:assuaged; andAnd though I forbear what am I eased |
| 16:7 |
But now he hath made me weary: thouThou hast made desolate all my company |
| 16:8 |
And thou hast filledlaid mefast withhold wrinkleson me which is a witness against me: andAnd my leanness risingriseth up inagainst me bearethIt witnesstestifieth to my face |

| 16:10 |
They have gaped upon me with their mouth; theyThey have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully;: theyThey havegather gathered themselves together against me |
| 16:11 |
God hathdelivereth delivered me to the ungodly andAnd turnedcasteth me over into the hands of the wicked |
| 16:12 |
I was at ease butand he hathbrake broken me asunder:; Yea he hath also taken me by mythe neck and shakendashed me to pieces: andHe hath also set me up for his mark |
| 16:13 |
His archers compass me round about; heHe cleaveth my reins asunder and doth not spare; heHe poureth out my gall upon the ground |
| 16:14 |
He breaketh me with breach upon breach; heHe runneth upon me like a giant |
| 16:15 |
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin andAnd defiledhave laid my horn in the dust |
| 16:16 |
My face is foulred with weeping andAnd on my eyelids is the shadow of death; |
| 16:17 |
NotAlthough forthere anyis injusticeno violence in minemy hands: alsoAnd my prayer is pure |
| 16:18 |
O earth cover not thou my blood andAnd let my cry have no resting place |
| 16:19 |
AlsoEven now behold my witness is in heaven andAnd myhe recordthat voucheth for me is on high |
| 16:20 |

OThat thathe onewould mightmaintain pleadthe forright of a man with God asAnd of a son of man pleadethwith for his neighbourneighbor |

| 17:6 |
HeBut he hath made me also a byword of the people; andAnd aforetimethey Ispit wasin asmy a tabretface |

Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow andAnd all my members are as a shadow |

These ten times have ye reproached me: yeYe are not ashamed that ye makedeal yourselveshardly strangewith to me |

Have pity upon me have pity upon me O ye my friends; forFor the hand of God hath touched me |

Why do ye persecute me as God andAnd are not satisfied with my flesh |

Oh that my words were now written ohOh that they were printedinscribed in a book |

In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: everyThe hand of theevery wickedone that is in misery shall come upon him |
| 20:23 |
When he is about to fill his belly God shallwill cast the furyfierceness of his wrath upon him andAnd shallwill rain it upon him while he is eating |
| 20:24 |
He shall flee from the iron weapon andAnd the bow of steelbrass shall strike him through |
| 20:25 |
ItHe isdraweth drawnit forth and it cometh out of thehis body; yeaYea the glittering swordpoint cometh out of his gall: terrorsTerrors are upon him |
| 20:26 |
All darkness shallis belaid hidup infor his secret placestreasures: aA fire not blown by man shall consumedevour him; itIt shall goconsume illthat withwhich him that is left in his tabernacletent |
| 20:27 |
The heavenheavens shall reveal his iniquity; andAnd the earth shall rise up against him |
| 20:28 |
The increase of his house shall depart; andHis his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath |
| 20:29 |
This is the portion of a wicked man from God andAnd the heritage appointed unto him by God |
| 21:1 |
ButThen Job answered and said |
| 21:2 |
Hear diligently my speech; andAnd let this be your consolations |
| 21:3 |
Suffer me thatand I mayalso will speak; andAnd after that I have spoken mock on |
| 21:4 |
As for me is my complaint to man andAnd if it were so why should I not my spirit be troubledimpatient |
| 21:5 |
Mark me and be astonished andAnd lay your hand upon your mouth |
| 21:6 |
Even when I remember I am afraidtroubled andAnd tremblinghorror taketh hold on my flesh |
| 21:7 |
Wherefore do the wicked live becomeBecome old yea arewax mighty in power |
| 21:8 |
Their seed is established with them in their sight withAnd them and their offspring before their eyes |
| 21:9 |
Their houses are safe from fear neitherNeither is the rod of God upon them |
| 21:10 |
Their bull gendereth and faileth not; theirTheir cow calveth and casteth not her calf |
| 21:11 |
They send forth their little ones like a flock andAnd their children dance |
| 21:12 |
They takesing to the timbrel and harp andAnd rejoice at the sound of the organpipe |
| 21:13 |
They spend their days in wealthprosperity andAnd in a moment they go down to the graveSheol |
| 21:14 |
ThereforeAnd they say unto God Depart from us; forFor we desire not the knowledge of thy ways |
| 21:15 |
What is the Almighty that we should serve him andAnd what profit should we have if we pray unto him |
| 21:16 |
Lo their goodprosperity is not in their hand: theThe counsel of the wicked is far from me |
| 21:17 |
How oft is it that the candlelamp of the wicked is put out andThat howtheir oftcalamity cometh their destruction upon them That God distributeth sorrows in his anger |
| 21:18 |
TheyThat they are as stubble before the wind andAnd as chaff that the storm carrieth away |
| 21:19 |
Ye say God layeth up his iniquity for his children: heLet rewardeth him andrecompense it unto himself that he shallmay know it: |
| 21:20 |
HisLet his own eyes shall see his destruction andAnd helet shallhim drink of the wrath of the Almighty |
| 21:21 |
For what pleasurecareth hath he infor his house after him whenWhen the number of his months is cut off in the midst |
| 21:22 |
Shall any teach God knowledge seeingSeeing he judgeth those that are high |
| 21:23 |
One dieth in his full strength beingBeing wholly at ease and quiet: |
| 21:24 |
His breastspails are full of milk andAnd the marrow of his bones areis moistened with marrow |
| 21:25 |
And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul andAnd never eatethtasteth withof pleasuregood |
| 21:26 |
They shall lie down alike in the dust andAnd the wormsworm shallcovereth cover them |
| 21:27 |
Behold I know your thoughts andAnd the devices whichwherewith ye wrongfullywould imaginewrong against me |
| 21:28 |
For ye say Where is the house of the prince andAnd where areis the dwellingtent placeswherein of the wicked dwelt |
| 21:29 |
Have ye not asked themwayfaring thatmen goAnd by the way and do ye not know their tokensevidences |
| 21:30 |
That the wickedevil man is reserved to the day of destructioncalamity That they shallare beled brought forth to the day of wrath |
| 21:31 |
Who shall declare his way to his face andAnd who shall repay him what he hath done |
| 21:32 |
Yet shall he be broughtborne to the grave andAnd men shall remainkeep inwatch over the tomb |
| 21:33 |
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him andAnd everyall manmen shall draw after him asAs there arewere innumerable before him |
| 21:34 |
How then comfort ye me in vain seeingSeeing in your answers there remaineth only falsehood |
| 22:1 |
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said |
| 22:2 |
Can a man be profitable unto God asSurely he that is wise mayis be profitable unto himself |
| 22:3 |
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous orOr is it gain to him that thou makest thy ways perfect |
| 22:4 |
WillIs heit reprovefor theethy for fear of him that he reproveth thee willThat he enterentereth with thee into judgment |
| 22:5 |
Is not thy wickedness great andNeither is there any end to thine iniquities infinite |
| 22:6 |
For thou hast taken apledges pledgeof from thy brother for nought andAnd stripped the naked of their clothing |
| 22:7 |
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink andAnd thou hast withholden bread from the hungry |
| 22:8 |
But as for the mighty man he had the earth; andAnd the honourablehonorable man he dwelt in it |
| 22:9 |
Thou hast sent widows away empty andAnd the arms of the fatherless have been broken |
| 22:10 |
Therefore snares are round about thee andAnd sudden fear troubleth thee; |
| 22:11 |
Or darkness so that thou canst not see; andAnd abundance of waters cover thee |
| 22:12 |
Is not God in the height of heaven andAnd behold the height of the stars how high they are |
| 22:13 |
And thou sayest HowWhat doth God know canCan he judge through the darkthick clouddarkness |
| 22:14 |
Thick clouds are a covering to him so that he seeth not; andAnd he walketh inon the circuitvault of heaven |
| 22:15 |
HastWilt thou markedkeep the old way whichWhich wicked men have trodden |
| 22:16 |
WhichWho were cutsnatched downaway outbefore oftheir time whoseWhose foundation was overflownpoured without as a flood:stream |
| 22:17 |
WhichWho said unto God Depart from us:; andAnd whatWhat can the Almighty do for themus |
| 22:18 |
Yet he filled their houses with good things: butBut the counsel of the wicked is far from me |
| 22:19 |
The righteous see it and are glad:; andAnd the innocent laugh them to scorn |
| 22:20 |
WhereasSaying ourSurely substancethey isthat notdid rise up against us are cut downoff butAnd the remnant of them the fire consumethhath consumed |
| 22:21 |
Acquaint now thyself with him and be at peace: therebyThereby good shall come unto thee |
| 22:22 |
Receive I pray thee the law from his mouth andAnd lay up his words in thinethy heart |
| 22:23 |
If thou return to the Almighty thou shalt be built up If thou shalt put away iniquityunrighteousness far from thy tabernaclestents |
| 22:24 |
ThenAnd shaltlay thou laythy uptreasure goldin asthe dust andAnd the gold of Ophir asamong the stones of the brooks; |
| 22:25 |
YeaAnd the Almighty shallwill be thy defencetreasure andAnd thouprecious shaltsilver haveunto plenty of silverthee |
| 22:26 |
For then shalt thou havedelight thythyself delight in the Almighty andAnd shalt lift up thy face unto God |
| 22:27 |
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him and he shallwill hear thee; andAnd thou shalt pay thy vows |
| 22:28 |
Thou shalt also decree a thing and it shall be established unto thee:; andAnd the light shall shine upon thy ways |
| 22:29 |
When menthey are cast thee down then thou shalt say There is lifting up; andAnd hethe shallhumble saveperson thehe humblewill personsave |
| 22:30 |
He shallwill deliver theeven islandhim ofthat theis not innocent: andYea ithe isshall be delivered bythrough the purenesscleanness of thinethy hands |
| 23:2 |
Even to day is my complaint bitterrebellious: myMy stroke is heavier than my groaning |
| 23:3 |
Oh that I knew where I might find him thatThat I might come even to his seat |
| 23:4 |
I would orderset my cause in order before him andAnd fill my mouth with arguments |
| 23:5 |
I would know the words which he would answer me andAnd understand what he would say unto me |
| 23:6 |
WillWould he pleadcontend againstwith me within the greatness of his great power NoNay; but he would putgive strengthheed inunto me |
| 23:7 |
There the righteousupright might disputereason with him; soSo should I be delivered for ever from my judge |
| 23:8 |
Behold I go forward but he is not there; andAnd backward but I cannot perceive him:; |
| 23:9 |
On the left hand wherewhen he doth work but I cannot behold him:; heHe hideth himself on the right hand that I cannot see him: |
| 23:10 |
But he knoweth the way that I take:; whenWhen he hath tried me I shall come forth as gold |
| 23:11 |
My foot hath held fast to his steps; hisHis way have I kept and turned not declinedaside |
| 23:12 |
NeitherI have Inot gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemedtreasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food |
| 23:13 |
But he is in one mind and who can turn him andAnd what his soul desireth even that he doeth |
| 23:14 |
For he performeth thethat thingwhich that is appointed for me: andAnd many such things are with him |
| 23:15 |
Therefore am I troubledterrified at his presence:; whenWhen I consider I am afraid of him |
| 23:16 |
For God makethhath made my heart softfaint andAnd the Almighty troublethhath terrified me:; |
| 23:17 |
Because I was not cut off before the darkness neitherNeither hathdid he coveredcover the thick darkness from my face |
| 24:1 |
Why seeingare times are not hiddenlaid fromup by the Almighty And why do not they that know him not see his days |
| 24:2 |
SomeThere are that remove the landmarks; theyThey violently take away flocks and feed thereofthem |
| 24:3 |
They drive away the ass of the fatherless; theyThey take the widows ox for a pledge |
| 24:4 |
They turn the needy out of the way: theThe poor of the earth all hide themselves together |
| 24:5 |
Behold as wild asses in the desert They go they forth to their work; risingseeking betimesdiligently for afood; prey:The the wilderness yieldeth food for them andbread for their children |
| 24:6 |
They reapcut everytheir oneprovender his corn in the field:; andAnd they gatherglean the vintage of the wicked |
| 24:7 |
They causelie theall night naked to lodge without clothing thatAnd they have no covering in the cold |
| 24:8 |
They are wet with the showers of the mountains andAnd embrace the rock for want of a shelter |
| 24:9 |
TheyThere are that pluck the fatherless from the breast andAnd take a pledge of the poor; |
| 24:10 |
TheySo causethat himthey to go about naked without clothing andAnd theybeing takehungry awaythey thecarry sheaf from the hungry;sheaves |
| 24:11 |
WhichThey make oil within theirthe walls andof these men; They tread their winepresses and suffer thirst |
| 24:12 |
MenFrom groan from out of the populous city andmen groan And the soul of the wounded crieth out: yetYet God layethregardeth not the folly to them |
| 24:13 |
TheyThese are of thosethem that rebel against the light; theyThey know not the ways thereof norNor abide in the paths thereof |
| 24:14 |
The murderer risingriseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; andAnd in the night he is as a thief |
| 24:15 |
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight sayingSaying No eye shall see me: andAnd he disguiseth his face |
| 24:16 |
In the dark they dig through houses: whichThey theyshut hadthemselves markedup for themselves in the daytime:day theytime; They know not the light |
| 24:17 |
For the morning is to themall even as the shadow of death:them ifas onethick knowdarkness; themFor they areknow in the terrors of the shadowthick of deathdarkness |
| 24:18 |
HeSwiftly isthey swiftpass asaway upon the face of the waters; theirTheir portion is cursed in the earth: heThey beholdethturn not into the way of the vineyards |
| 24:19 |
Drought and heat consume the snow waters: soSo doth theSheol grave those whichthat have sinned |
| 24:20 |
The womb shall forget him; theThe worm shall feed sweetly on him; heHe shall be no more remembered; andAnd wickednessunrighteousness shall be broken as a tree |
| 24:21 |
He evildevoureth entreateth the barren that beareth not: andAnd doeth not good to the widow |
| 24:22 |
HeYet drawethGod alsopreserveth the mighty withby his power: heHe riseth up andthat hath no manassurance is sure of life |
| 24:23 |
ThoughGod itgiveth bethem given him to be in safetysecurity whereonand hethey restethrest thereon; yetAnd his eyes are upon their ways |
| 24:24 |
They are exalted; foryet a little while butand they are gone; andYea they are brought low; they are taken out of the way as all otherothers andAnd are cut off as the tops of the ears of corngrain |
| 24:25 |
And if it be not so now who will makeprove me a liar andAnd make my speech nothing worth |
| 25:2 |
Dominion and fear are with him; heHe maketh peace in his high places |
| 25:3 |
Is there any number of his armies andAnd upon whom doth not his light arise |
| 25:4 |
How then can man be justifiedjust with God orOr how can he be clean that is born of a woman |
| 25:5 |
Behold even to the moon andhath itno shinethbrightness not;And yea the stars are not pure in his sight: |
| 25:6 |
How much less man that is a worm andAnd the son of man whichthat is a worm |
| 26:1 |
ButThen Job answered and said |
| 26:2 |
How hast thou helped him that is without power howHow savesthast thou saved the arm that hath no strength |
| 26:3 |
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom andAnd how hast thou plentifully declared thesound thing as it isknowledge |
| 26:4 |
To whom hast thou uttered words andAnd whose spirit came forth from thee |
| 26:5 |
DeadThey thingsthat are formeddeceased fromtremble underBeneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof |

HellSheol is naked before himGod andAnd destructionAbaddon hath no covering |
| 26:7 |
He stretcheth out the north over the empty placespace andAnd hangeth the earth upon nothing |
| 26:8 |
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; andAnd the cloud is not rent under them |
| 26:9 |
He holdethincloseth back the face of his throne andAnd spreadeth his cloud upon it |
| 26:10 |
He hath compasseddescribed thea watersboundary withupon boundsthe untilface of the daywaters andUnto nightthe comeconfines toof anlight endand darkness |

| 26:13 |
By his spiritSpirit hethe hathheavens are garnished the heavens; hisHis hand hath formedpierced the crookedswift serpent |
| 26:14 |
Lo these are partsbut the outskirts of his ways: butAnd how littlesmall a portionwhisper isdo heardwe hear of him butBut the thunder of his power who can understand |
| 27:1 |
MoreoverAnd Job continuedagain took up his parable and said |
| 27:2 |
As God liveth who hath taken away my judgment;right andAnd the Almighty who hath vexed my soul; |
| 27:3 |
AllFor the while my breathlife is yet whole in me andAnd the spirit of God is in my nostrils; |
| 27:4 |
MySurely my lips shall not speak wickednessunrighteousness norNeither shall my tongue utter deceit |
| 27:5 |
GodFar forbidbe it from me that I should justify you: tillTill I die I will not removeput away mine integrity from me |
| 27:6 |
My righteousness I hold fast and will not let it go: myMy heart shall not reproach me so long as I live |
| 27:7 |
Let mine enemy be as the wicked andAnd helet him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous |
| 27:8 |
For what is the hope of the hypocritegodless though he hathget gainedhim whengain When God taketh away his soul |
| 27:9 |
Will God hear his cry whenWhen trouble cometh upon him |
| 27:10 |
Will he delight himself in the Almighty willAnd he always call upon God at all times |
| 27:11 |
I will teach you byconcerning the hand of God:; thatThat which is with the Almighty will I not conceal |
| 27:12 |
Behold all ye yourselves have seen it; whyWhy then are ye thusbecome altogether vain |
| 27:13 |
This is the portion of a wicked man with God andAnd the heritage of oppressors which they shall receive offrom the Almighty: |
| 27:14 |
If his children be multiplied it is for the sword:; andAnd his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread |
| 27:15 |
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: andAnd his widows shall notmake weepno lamentation |
| 27:16 |
Though he heap up silver as the dust andAnd prepare raiment as the clay; |
| 27:17 |
He may prepare it but the just shall put it on andAnd the innocent shall divide the silver |
| 27:18 |
He buildeth his house as athe moth andAnd as a booth thatwhich the keeper maketh |
| 27:19 |
TheHe richlieth mandown shallrich lie down but he shall not be gathered: heto his fathers; He openeth his eyes and he is not |
| 27:20 |
Terrors takeovertake hold on him aslike waters; aA tempest stealeth him away in the night |
| 27:21 |
The east wind carrieth him away and he departeth:; andAnd asit asweepeth storm hurleth him out of his place |
| 27:22 |
For God shall casthurl uponat him and not spare: heHe would fain flee out of his hand |
| 27:23 |
Men shall clap their hands at him andAnd shall hiss him out of his place |
| 28:1 |
Surely there is a veinmine for the silver andAnd a place for gold wherewhich they fine itrefine |
| 28:2 |
Iron is taken out of the earth andAnd brasscopper is molten out of the stone |
| 28:3 |
HeMan setteth an end to darkness andAnd searcheth out allto perfection: the furthest bound The stones of darknessobscurity and theof shadowthick of deathdarkness |

TheHe flood breaketh outopen a shaft away from thewhere inhabitantmen sojourn; evenThey theare waters forgotten of the foot:; theyThey arehang driedafar upfrom men they areswing goneto awayand from menfro |
| 28:5 |
As for the earth out of it cometh bread:; andAnd underunderneath it is turned up as it were by fire |
| 28:6 |
The stones ofthereof it are the place of sapphires: andAnd it hath dust of gold |
| 28:7 |
ThereThat ispath ano pathbird whichof noprey fowl knoweth andNeither whichhath the vulturesfalcons eye hathseen not seenit: |

The lionsproud whelpsbeasts have not trodden it norNor hath the fierce lion passed by itthereby |

He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock; heHe overturneth the mountains by the roots |
| 28:10 |
He cutteth out riverschannels among the rocks; andAnd his eye seeth every precious thing |
| 28:11 |
He bindeth the floodsstreams fromthat overflowingthey trickle not; andAnd the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light |
| 28:12 |
But where shall wisdom be found andAnd where is the place of understanding |
| 28:13 |
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neitherNeither is it found in the land of the living |
| 28:14 |
The depthdeep saith It is not in me:; andAnd the sea saith It is not with me |
| 28:15 |
It cannot be gotten for gold neitherNeither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof |
| 28:16 |
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir withWith the precious onyx or the sapphire |
| 28:17 |
TheGold gold and theglass crystal cannot equal it: andNeither theshall exchange of it shallbe notexchanged be for jewels of fine gold |
| 28:18 |
No mention shall be made of coral or of pearlscrystal: forYea the price of wisdom is above rubies |
| 28:19 |
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it neitherNeither shall it be valued with pure gold |
| 28:20 |
Whence then cometh wisdom andAnd where is the place of understanding |
| 28:21 |
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living andAnd kept close from the fowlsbirds of the airheavens |
| 28:22 |
Destruction and deathDeath say We have heard thea famerumor thereof with our ears |
| 28:23 |
God understandeth the way thereof andAnd he knoweth the place thereof |
| 28:24 |
For he looketh to the ends of the earth andAnd seeth under the whole heaven; |
| 28:25 |
To make thea weight for the winds;wind: andYea he weighethmeteth out the waters by measure |
| 28:26 |
When he made a decree for the rain andAnd a way for the lightning of the thunder:; |
| 28:27 |
Then did he see it and declare it; heHe preparedestablished it yea and searched it out |
| 28:28 |
And unto man he said Behold the fear of the Lord that is wisdom; andAnd to depart from evil is understanding |
| 29:1 |
MoreoverAnd Job continuedagain took up his parable and said |
| 29:2 |
Oh that I were as in the months pastof asold As in the days when God preservedwatched over me; |
| 29:3 |
When his candlelamp shined upon my head andAnd when by his light I walked through darkness; |
| 29:4 |
As I was in the daysripeness of my youthdays whenWhen the secretfriendship of God was upon my tabernacletent; |
| 29:5 |
When the Almighty was yet with me whenAnd my children were about me; |
| 29:6 |
When I washed my steps were washed with butter andAnd the rock poured me out riversstreams of oil; |
| 29:7 |
When I went outforth to the gate throughunto the city whenWhen I prepared my seat in the street |
| 29:8 |
The young men saw me and hid themselves: andAnd the aged aroserose up and stood up; |
| 29:9 |
The princes refrained from talking andAnd laid their hand on their mouth; |
| 29:10 |
The voice of the nobles heldwas theirhushed peaceAnd and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth |
| 29:11 |
WhenFor when the ear heard me then it blessed me; andAnd when the eye saw me it gave witness tounto me: |
| 29:12 |
Because I delivered the poor that cried andThe the fatherless andalso him that had none to help him |
| 29:13 |
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me:; andAnd I caused the widows heart to sing for joy |
| 29:14 |
I put on righteousness and it clothed me: myMy judgmentjustice was as a robe and a diadem |
| 29:15 |
I was eyes to the blind andAnd feet was I to the lame |
| 29:16 |
I was a father to the poorneedy: andAnd the cause whichof him that I knew not I searched out |
| 29:17 |
And I brake the jaws of the wickedunrighteous andAnd plucked the spoilprey out of his teeth |
| 29:18 |
Then I said I shall die in my nest andAnd I shall multiply my days as the sand: |
| 29:19 |
My root wasis spread out byto the waters andAnd the dew laylieth all night upon my branch: |
| 29:20 |
My glory wasis fresh in me andAnd my bow wasis renewed in my hand |
| 29:21 |
Unto me men gave ear and waited andAnd kept silence atfor my counsel |
| 29:22 |
After my words they spake not again; andAnd my speech droppeddistilled upon them |
| 29:23 |
And they waited for me as for the rain; andAnd they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain |
| 29:24 |
If I laughedsmiled on them when they believedhad itno notconfidence; andAnd the light of my countenance they cast not down |
| 29:25 |
I chose out their way and sat as chief andAnd dwelt as a king in the army asAs one that comforteth the mourners |
| 30:1 |
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision whoseWhose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock |
| 30:2 |
Yea whereto might the strength of their hands whereto should it profit me Men in whom oldripe age wasis perished |
| 30:3 |
ForThey are gaunt with want and famine they were solitary; fleeingThey intognaw the wildernessdry ground in formerthe timegloom desolateof wasteness and wastedesolation |
| 30:4 |
WhoThey cutpluck upsalt mallowswort by the bushes; andAnd juniperthe roots forof the broom are their meatfood |
| 30:5 |
They wereare driven forth from amongthe midst of men; theyThey criedcry after them as after a thief; |
| 30:6 |
ToSo that they dwell in thefrightful cliffs of the valleys inIn cavesholes of the earth and inof the rocks |
| 30:7 |
Among the bushes they brayedbray; underUnder the nettles they wereare gathered together |
| 30:8 |
They wereare children of fools yea children of base men:; theyThey were vilerscourged thanout of the earthland |
| 30:9 |
And now I am Ibecome their song yeaYea I am theira byword unto them |
| 30:10 |
They abhor me they fleestand faraloof from me andAnd spare not to spit in my face |
| 30:11 |
BecauseFor he hath loosed myhis cord and afflicted me; And they have alsocast letoff loose the bridle before me |
| 30:12 |
Upon my right hand rise the youthrabble; theyThey pushthrust awayaside my feet andAnd they raisecast up against me thetheir ways of their destruction |
| 30:13 |
They mar my path theyThey set forward my calamity theyEven men that have no helper |
| 30:14 |
TheyAs camethrough upon me as a wide breakingbreach inthey of waterscome: inIn the desolationmidst of the ruin they rolledroll themselves upon me |
| 30:15 |
Terrors are turned upon me:; theyThey pursuechase mymine soulhonor as the wind:; andAnd my welfare passethis passed away as a cloud |
| 30:16 |
And now my soul is poured out uponwithin me; theDays days of affliction have taken hold upon me |
| 30:17 |
MyIn the night season my bones are pierced in me inAnd the nightpains season:that andgnaw myme sinews take no rest |
| 30:18 |
By theGods great force of my disease is my garment changed:disfigured; itIt bindeth me about as the collar of my coat |
| 30:19 |
He hath cast me into the mire andAnd I am become like dust and ashes |
| 30:20 |
I cry unto thee and thou dost not hearanswer me: I stand up and thou regardestgazest at me not |
| 30:21 |
Thou art becometurned to be cruel to me:; withWith the might of thy strong hand thou opposestpersecutest thyself against me |
| 30:22 |
Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it; andAnd thou dissolvest myme substancein the storm |
| 30:23 |
For I know that thou wilt bring me to death andAnd to the house appointed for all living |
| 30:24 |
Howbeit hedoth will not one stretch out histhe hand toin thehis gravefall thoughOr theyin his calamity therefore cry infor his destructionhelp |
| 30:25 |
Did not I weep for him that was in trouble wasWas not my soul grieved for the poorneedy |
| 30:26 |
When I looked for good then evil came; untoAnd me: and when I waited for light there came darkness |
| 30:27 |
My bowelsheart boiledis troubled and restedresteth not:; theDays days of affliction preventedare come upon me |
| 30:28 |
I wentgo mourning without the sun: I stoodstand up andin Ithe criedassembly inand thecry congregationfor help |
| 30:29 |
I am a brother to dragonsjackals andAnd a companion to owlsostriches |
| 30:30 |
My skin is black uponand falleth from me andAnd my bones are burned with heat |
| 30:31 |
MyTherefore harpis alsomy isharp turned to mourning andAnd my organpipe into the voice of them that weep |
| 31:1 |
I made a covenant with mine eyes; whyHow then should I thinklook upon a maidvirgin |
| 31:2 |
For what is the portion offrom God is there from above andAnd whatthe inheritanceheritage offrom the Almighty from on high |
| 31:3 |
Is it not destructioncalamity to the wickedunrighteous andAnd adisaster strange punishment to the workers of iniquity |
| 31:4 |
Doth not he see my ways andAnd countnumber all my steps |
| 31:5 |
If I have walked with vanityfalsehood orAnd if my foot hath hasted to deceit; |
| 31:6 |
Let me be weighed in an even balance thatThat God may know mine integrity; |
| 31:7 |
If my step hath turned out of the way andAnd minemy heart walked after mine eyes andAnd if any blotspot hath cleaved to minemy hands;: |
| 31:8 |
Then let me sow and let another eat; yeaYea let the produce of my offspringfield be rooted out |
| 31:9 |
If minemy heart havehath been deceivedenticed byunto a woman orAnd if I have laid wait at my neighboursneighbors door; |
| 31:10 |
Then let my wife grind unto another andAnd let others bow down upon her |
| 31:11 |
For thisthat iswere ana heinous crime; yeaYea it iswere an iniquity to be punished by the judges: |
| 31:12 |
For it is a fire that consumeth tounto destructionDestruction andAnd would root out all mine increase |
| 31:13 |
If I didhave despisedespised the cause of my manservantman servant or of my maidservantmaid whenservant When they contended with me; |
| 31:14 |
What then shall I do when God riseth up andAnd when he visiteth what shall I answer him |
| 31:15 |
Did not he that made me in the womb make him andAnd did not one fashion us in the womb |
| 31:16 |
If I have withheld the poor from their desire orOr have caused the eyes of the widow to fail; |
| 31:17 |
Or have eaten my morsel myself alone andAnd the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; |
| 31:18 |
ForNay from my youth he wasgrew brought up with me as with a father andAnd Iher have I guided her from my mothers womb; |
| 31:19 |
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing orOr anythat poorthe withoutneedy had no covering; |
| 31:20 |
If his loins have not blessed me andAnd if he werehath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep; |
| 31:21 |
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless whenBecause I saw my help in the gate: |
| 31:22 |
Then let minemy armshoulder fall from mythe shoulder blade andAnd mine arm be broken from the bone |
| 31:23 |
For destructioncalamity from God wasis a terror to me andAnd by reason of his highnessmajesty I couldcan notdo endurenothing |
| 31:24 |
If I have made gold my hope orAnd have said to the fine gold Thou art my confidence; |
| 31:25 |
If I rejoicehave rejoiced because my wealth was great andAnd because minemy hand had gotten much; |
| 31:26 |
If I have beheld the sun when it shined orOr the moon walking in brightness; |
| 31:27 |
And my heart hath been secretly enticed orAnd my mouth hath kissed my hand: |
| 31:28 |
This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge:judges; forFor I should have denied the God that is above |
| 31:29 |
If I rejoicehave rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me orOr lifted up myself when evil found him: |
| 31:30 |
NeitherYea I have Inot suffered my mouth to sin byBy wishingasking ahis curselife towith hisa soulcurse; |
| 31:31 |
If the men of my tabernacletent saidhave not Ohsaid thatWho wecan hadfind ofone histhat fleshhath wenot cannotbeen befilled satisfiedwith his meat |
| 31:32 |
The strangersojourner didhath not lodgelodged in the street:; butBut I have opened my doors to the traveller; |
| 31:33 |
If like Adam I have covered my transgressions asBy Adam by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom: |
| 31:34 |
DidBecause I fearfeared athe great multitude orAnd did the contempt of families terrifyterrified me So that I kept silence and went not out of the door— |
| 31:35 |
Oh that I had one wouldto hear me beholdLo here is my desiresignature islet that the Almighty would answer me andAnd that I had the indictment which mine adversary hadhath written a book |
| 31:36 |
Surely I would takecarry it upon my shoulder; andI would bind it unto me as a crown to me: |
| 31:37 |
I would declare unto him the number of my steps; asAs a prince would I go near unto him |
| 31:38 |
If my land crycrieth out against me orAnd that the furrows likewise thereof complainweep together; |
| 31:39 |
If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money orOr have caused the owners thereof to lose their life: |
| 31:40 |
Let thistles grow instead of wheat andAnd cockle instead of barley The words of Job are ended |
| 32:2 |
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the kindredfamily of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled because he justified himself rather than God |
| 32:4 |
Now Elihu had waited tillto Jobspeak hadunto spokenJob because they were elder than he |
| 32:5 |
WhenAnd when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men then his wrath was kindled |
| 32:6 |
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said I am young and ye are very old; whereforeWherefore I washeld afraidback and durst not shewshow you mine opinion |
| 32:7 |
I said Days should speak andAnd multitude of years should teach wisdom |
| 32:8 |
But there is a spirit in man: andAnd the inspirationbreath of the Almighty giveth them understanding |
| 32:9 |
GreatIt menis are not alwaysthe great that are wise: neitherNor do the aged that understand judgmentjustice |
| 32:10 |
Therefore I said Hearken to me; I also will shewshow mine opinion |
| 32:11 |
Behold I waited for your words; I gavelistened earfor to your reasonsreasonings whilstWhilst ye searched out what to say |
| 32:12 |
Yea I attended unto you andAnd behold there was none of you that convinced Job orOr that answered his words: among you |
| 32:13 |
LestBeware lest ye should say We have found out wisdom:; God thrustethmay vanquish him down not man: |
| 32:14 |
NowFor he hath not directed his words against me:; neitherNeither will I answer him with your speeches |
| 32:15 |
They wereare amazed they answeredanswer no more: theyThey lefthave offnot speakinga word to say |
| 32:16 |
WhenAnd shall I hadwait waitedbecause for they spakespeak not butBecause stoodthey stand still and answeredanswer no more; |
| 32:17 |
I saidalso I will answer also my part I also will shewshow mine opinion |
| 32:18 |
For I am full of matterwords; theThe spirit within me constraineth me |
| 32:19 |
Behold my bellybreast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new wine skins it is ready to burst like new bottles |
| 32:20 |
I will speak that I may be refreshed:; I will open my lips and answer |
| 32:21 |
Let me not I pray you acceptrespect any mans person; neitherNeither letwill meI give flattering titles unto any man |
| 32:22 |
For I know not to give flattering titles; inElse sowould doing my makerMaker would soon take me away |
| 33:1 |
WhereforeHowbeit Job I pray thee hear my speechesspeech andAnd hearken to all my words |
| 33:2 |
Behold now I have opened my mouth; myMy tongue hath spoken in my mouth |
| 33:3 |
My words shall beutter of the uprightness of my heart:; andAnd that which my lips know they shall utterspeak knowledge clearlysincerely |
| 33:4 |
The spiritSpirit of God hath made me andAnd the breath of the Almighty hathgiveth given me life |
| 33:5 |
If thou canst answer thou me; setSet thy words in order before me stand upforth |
| 33:6 |
Behold I am accordingtoward toGod thyeven wishas inthou Gods steadart: I also am formed out of the clay |
| 33:7 |
Behold my terror shall not make thee afraid neitherNeither shall my handpressure be heavy upon thee |
| 33:8 |
Surely thou hast spoken in minemy hearing andAnd I have heard the voice of thy words saying |
| 33:9 |
I am clean without transgression; I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me: |
| 33:10 |
Behold he findeth occasions against me heHe counteth me for his enemy; |
| 33:11 |
He putteth my feet in the stocks heHe marketh all my paths |
| 33:12 |
Behold I will answer thee in this thou art not just:; IFor will answer thee that God is greater than man |
| 33:13 |
Why dost thou strive against him forFor that he giveth not account of any of his matters |
| 33:14 |
For God speaketh once yeaYea twice yetthough man perceivethregardeth it not |
| 33:15 |
In a dream in a vision of the night whenWhen deep sleep falleth upon men inIn slumberings upon the bed; |
| 33:16 |
Then he openeth the ears of men andAnd sealeth their instruction |
| 33:17 |
That he may withdraw man from his purpose andAnd hide pride from man; |
| 33:18 |
He keepeth back his soul from the pit andAnd his life from perishing by the sword |
| 33:19 |
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed andAnd thewith multitudecontinual ofstrife in his bones with strong pain:; |
| 33:20 |
So that his life abhorreth bread andAnd his soul dainty meatfood |
| 33:21 |
His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seen; andAnd his bones that were not seen stick out |
| 33:22 |
Yea his soul draweth near unto the gravepit andAnd his life to the destroyers |
| 33:23 |
If there be a messenger with him an angel An interpreter one among a thousand toTo shewshow unto man hiswhat uprightness:is right for him; |
| 33:24 |
Then heGod is gracious unto him and saith Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom |
| 33:25 |
His flesh shall be fresher than a childs:; heHe shallreturneth return to the days of his youth: |
| 33:26 |
He shallprayeth pray unto God and he willis befavorable favourable unto him: andSo that he shallseeth see his face with joy: forAnd he willrestoreth render unto man his righteousness |
| 33:27 |
He lookethsingeth uponbefore men and ifsaith any say I have sinned and perverted that which was right andAnd it profited me not;: |
| 33:28 |
He willhath deliverredeemed hismy soul from going into the pit andAnd hismy life shall seebehold the light |
| 33:29 |
Lo all these things workethdoth God oftentimeswork Twice yea thrice with a man |
| 33:30 |
To bring back his soul from the pit toThat he may be enlightened with the light of the living |
| 33:31 |
Mark well O Job hearken unto me: holdHold thy peace and I will speak |
| 33:32 |
If thou hast anything to say answer me: speakSpeak for I desire to justify thee |
| 33:33 |
If not hearken thou unto me: holdHold thy peace and I shallwill teach thee wisdom |
| 34:1 |
FurthermoreMoreover Elihu answered and said |
| 34:2 |
Hear my words O ye wise men; andAnd give ear unto me ye that have knowledge |
| 34:3 |
For the ear trieth words asAs the mouthpalate tasteth meatfood |
| 34:4 |
Let us choose tofor us judgmentthat which is right: letLet us know among ourselves what is good |
| 34:5 |
For Job hath said I am righteous: andAnd God hath taken away my judgmentright: |
| 34:6 |
ShouldNotwithstanding my right I lieam againstaccounted mya rightliar; myMy wound is incurable though I am without transgression |
| 34:7 |
What man is like Job whoWho drinketh up scorningscoffing like water |
| 34:8 |
WhichWho goeth in company with the workers of iniquity andAnd walketh with wicked men |
| 34:9 |
For he hath said It profiteth a man nothing thatThat he should delight himself with God |
| 34:10 |
Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: farFar be it from God that he should do wickedness; andAnd from the Almighty that he should commit iniquity |
| 34:11 |
For the work of a man shallwill he render unto him andAnd cause every man to find according to his ways |
| 34:12 |
Yea surelyof a surety God will not do wickedly neitherNeither will the Almighty pervert judgmentjustice |
| 34:13 |
Who hathgave given him a charge over the earth orOr who hath disposed the whole world |
| 34:14 |
If he set his heart upon manhimself ifIf he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; |
| 34:15 |
All flesh shall perish together andAnd man shall turn again unto dust |
| 34:16 |
If now thou hast understanding hear this: hearkenHearken to the voice of my words |
| 34:17 |
Shall even heone that hateth rightjustice govern andAnd wilt thou condemn him that is mostrighteous justand mighty— |
| 34:18 |
IsHim itthat fitsaith to say to a king Thou art wickedvile andOr to princesnobles Ye are ungodlywicked; |
| 34:19 |
HowThat muchrespecteth less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes norNor regardeth the rich more than the poor; forFor they all are the work of his hands |
| 34:20 |
In a moment shall they die andeven theat peoplemidnight; shallThe bepeople troubledare atshaken midnight and pass away: andAnd the mighty shallare be taken away without hand |
| 34:21 |
For his eyes are upon the ways of a man andAnd he seeth all his goings |
| 34:22 |
There is no darkness nor shadowthick ofgloom deathWhere where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves |
| 34:23 |
For he willneedeth not layfurther uponto manconsider morea thanman right;That that he should entergo intobefore judgmentGod within Godjudgment |
| 34:24 |
He shallbreaketh break in pieces mighty men withoutin numberways andpast setfinding out And setteth others in their stead |
| 34:25 |
Therefore he knowethtaketh knowledge of their works; andAnd he overturneth them in the night so that they are destroyed |
| 34:26 |
He striketh them as wicked men inIn the open sight of others; |
| 34:27 |
Because they turned backaside from following him andAnd would not considerhave regard in any of his ways: |
| 34:28 |
So that they causecaused the cry of the poor to come unto him andAnd he hearethheard the cry of the afflicted |
| 34:29 |
When he giveth quietness who then can makecondemn troubleAnd and when he hideth his face who then can behold him Alike whether it be done againstunto a nation or againstunto a man only: |
| 34:30 |
That the hypocritegodless man reign not lestThat there be none to ensnare the people be ensnared |
| 34:31 |
SurelyFor ithath isany meet to be said unto God I have borne chastisement I will not offend any more: |
| 34:32 |
That which I see not teach thou me: ifIf I have done iniquity I will do it no more |
| 34:33 |
ShouldShall ithis recompense be accordingas tothou thywilt mindthat hethou willrefusest recompense it whetherFor thou refusemust or whether thou choose; and not I: thereforeTherefore speak what thou knowest |
| 34:34 |
LetMen men of understanding tellwill say unto me andYea letevery a wise man hearkenthat untoheareth me: |
| 34:35 |
Job hathspeaketh spoken without knowledge andAnd his words wereare without wisdom |
| 34:36 |
MyWould desire is that Job maywere be tried unto the end becauseBecause of his answersanswering forlike wicked men |
| 34:37 |
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin; heHe clappeth his hands among us andAnd multiplieth his words against God |
| 35:1 |
Moreover Elihu spakeanswered moreover and said |
| 35:2 |
Thinkest thou this to be thy right thatOr sayest thou saidst My righteousness is more than Gods |
| 35:3 |
ForThat thou saidstsayest What advantage will it be unto thee andAnd What profit shall I have more than if I behad cleansed from my sinsinned |
| 35:4 |
I will answer thee andAnd thy companions with thee |
| 35:5 |
Look unto the heavens and see; andAnd behold the cloudsskies which are higher than thou |
| 35:6 |
If thou sinnesthast sinned what doesteffectest thou against him orAnd if thy transgressions be multiplied what doest thou unto him |
| 35:7 |
If thou be righteous what givest thou him orOr what receiveth he of thinethy hand |
| 35:8 |
Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; andAnd thy righteousness may profit thea son of man |
| 35:9 |
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they makecry theout; oppressedThey to cry: theyfor cryhelp out by reason of the arm of the mighty |
| 35:10 |
But none saith Where is God my makerMaker whoWho giveth songs in the night; |
| 35:11 |
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth andAnd maketh us wiser than the fowlsbirds of heaventhe heavens |
| 35:12 |
There they cry but none giveth answer becauseBecause of the pride of evil men |
| 35:13 |
Surely God will not hear vanityan neitherempty cry Neither will the Almighty regard it |
| 35:14 |
AlthoughHow much less when thou sayest thou shaltbeholdest him not seeThe himcause yet judgment is before him; thereforeand trust thou inwaitest for him |
| 35:15 |
But now because ithe ishath not so he hath visited in his anger; yetNeither doth he knowethgreatly itregard not in great extremity:arrogance; |
| 35:16 |
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vainvanity; heHe multiplieth words without knowledge |
| 36:2 |
Suffer me a little and I will shewshow thee; thatFor I have yet somewhat to speaksay on Gods behalf |
| 36:3 |
I will fetch my knowledge from afar andAnd will ascribe righteousness to my Maker |
| 36:4 |
For truly my words shallare not be false: heOne that is perfect in knowledge is with thee |
| 36:5 |
Behold God is mighty and despiseth not any: heHe is mighty in strength andof wisdomunderstanding |
| 36:6 |
He preserveth not the life of the wicked: butBut giveth right to the poorafflicted their right |
| 36:7 |
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: butBut with kings areupon they on the throne; yeaHe hesetteth doth establish them for ever and they are exalted |
| 36:8 |
And if they be bound in fetters andAnd be holdentaken in the cords of affliction; |
| 36:9 |
Then he shewethshoweth them their work andAnd their transgressions that they have exceededbehaved themselves proudly |
| 36:10 |
He openeth also their ear to disciplineinstruction andAnd commandeth that they return from iniquity |
| 36:11 |
If they obeyhearken and serve him theyThey shall spend their days in prosperity andAnd their years in pleasures |
| 36:12 |
But if they obeyhearken not they shall perish by the sword andAnd they shall die without knowledge |
| 36:13 |
But thethey hypocritesthat are godless in heart heaplay up wrathanger: theyThey cry not for help when he bindeth them |
| 36:14 |
They die in youth andAnd their life isperisheth among the unclean |
| 36:15 |
He delivereth the poorafflicted inby histheir affliction andAnd openeth their earsear in oppression |
| 36:16 |
EvenYea sohe would he have removedallured thee out of thedistress straitInto into a broad place where there is no straitness; andAnd that which shouldis be set on thy table shouldwould be full of fatness |
| 36:17 |
But thou hastart fulfilledfull of the judgment of the wicked: judgmentJudgment and justice take hold on thee |
| 36:18 |
BecauseFor therelet isnot wrath bewarestir lestthee heup takeagainst theechastisements; awayNeither withlet histhe stroke:greatness thenof athe great ransom cannotturn deliverthee theeaside |
| 36:19 |
Will hethy esteemcry thyavail richesthat nothou be not goldin nordistress Or all the forces of thy strength |
| 36:20 |
Desire not the night whenWhen peoplepeoples are cut off in their place |
| 36:21 |
Take heed regard not iniquity: forFor this hast thou chosen rather than affliction |
| 36:22 |
Behold God exaltethdoeth byloftily in his power: whoWho teachethis a teacher like unto him |
| 36:23 |
Who hath enjoined him his way orOr who can say Thou hast wrought iniquityunrighteousness |
| 36:24 |
Remember that thou magnify his work whichWhereof men beholdhave sung |
| 36:25 |
EveryAll manmen mayhave seelooked itthereon; manMan maybeholdeth behold it afar off |
| 36:26 |
Behold God is great and we know him not; neitherThe can the number of his years beis searched outunsearchable |
| 36:27 |
For he makethdraweth smallup the drops of water: theyWhich pourdistil downin rain accordingfrom tohis the vapour thereof:vapor |
| 36:28 |
Which the cloudsskies dopour dropdown andAnd distildrop upon man abundantly |
| 36:29 |
AlsoYea can any understand the spreadings of the clouds orThe thethunderings noise of his tabernaclepavilion |
| 36:30 |
Behold he spreadeth his light uponaround ithim; andAnd he covereth the bottom of the sea |
| 36:31 |
For by themthese he judgeth he the peoplepeoples; heHe giveth meatfood in abundance |
| 36:32 |
WithHe cloudscovereth hehis coverethhands with the light;lightning andAnd commandethgiveth it nota tocharge shinethat byit strike the cloud that cometh betwixtmark |
| 36:33 |
The noise thereof shewethtelleth concerning ithim theThe cattle also concerning the vapourstorm that cometh up |
| 37:1 |
AtYea at this also my heart trembleth andAnd is moved out of hisits place |
| 37:2 |
Hear attentivelyoh hear the noise of his voice andAnd the sound that goeth out of his mouth |
| 37:3 |
He directethsendeth it forth under the whole heaven andAnd his lightning unto the ends of the earth |
| 37:4 |
After it a voice roareth:; heHe thundereth with the voice of his excellencymajesty; andAnd he willrestraineth not staythe themlightnings when his voice is heard |
| 37:5 |
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; greatGreat things doeth he which we cannot comprehend |
| 37:6 |
For he saith to the snow BeFall thou on the earth; likewiseLikewise to the smallshower of rain andAnd to the greatshowers rain of his strengthmighty rain |
| 37:7 |
He sealeth up the hand of every man; thatThat all men whom he hath made may know his workit |
| 37:8 |
Then the beasts go into denscoverts andAnd remain in their placesdens |
| 37:9 |
Out of the chamber of the south cometh the whirlwind:storm andAnd cold out of the north |
| 37:10 |
By the breath of God frostice is given:; andAnd the breadth of the waters is straitened |
| 37:11 |
AlsoYea by watering he weariethladeth the thick cloud: hewith scatterethmoisture; hisHe brightspreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning: |
| 37:12 |
And it is turned round about by his counsels:guidance thatThat they may do whatsoever he commandeth them uponUpon the face of the habitable world in the earth |
| 37:13 |
HeWhether causeth it tobe come whether for correction or for his land orOr for mercylovingkindness that he cause it to come |
| 37:14 |
Hearken unto this O Job: standStand still and consider the wondrous works of God |
| 37:15 |
Dost thou know whenhow God disposedlayeth his charge upon them andAnd causedcauseth the lightlightning of his cloud to shine |
| 37:16 |
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds theThe wondrous works of him whichwho is perfect in knowledge |
| 37:17 |
How thy garments are warm whenWhen he quieteth the earth is still by reason of the south wind |
| 37:18 |
HastCanst thou with him spread out the sky whichWhich is strong and as a molten looking glassmirror |
| 37:19 |
Teach us what we shall say unto him; forFor we cannot orderset our speech in order by reason of darkness |
| 37:20 |
Shall it be told him that I would speak ifOr should a man speakwish surelythat he shallwere be swallowed up |
| 37:21 |
And now men see not the bright light which is bright in the clouds:skies; butBut the wind passeth and cleansethcleareth them |
| 37:22 |
FairOut weatherof comeththe outnorth ofcometh thegolden northsplendor: with God ishath upon him terrible majesty |
| 37:23 |
Touching the Almighty we cannot find him out: heHe is excellent in power; andAnd in judgmentjustice and inplenteous plentyrighteousness of justice: he will not afflict |
| 37:24 |
Men do therefore fear him: heHe respectethregardeth not any that are wise of heart |
| 38:1 |
Then theJehovah Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said |
| 38:2 |
Who is this that darkeneth counsel byBy words without knowledge |
| 38:3 |
Gird up now thy loins like a man; forFor I will demand of thee and answerdeclare thou unto me |
| 38:4 |
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth declareDeclare if thou hast understanding |
| 38:5 |
Who hathdetermined laid the measures thereof if thou knowest orOr who hath stretched the line upon it |
| 38:6 |
Whereupon arewere the foundations thereof fastened orOr who laid the corner stone thereof; |
| 38:7 |
When the morning stars sang together andAnd all the sons of God shouted for joy |
| 38:8 |
Or who shut up the sea with doors whenWhen it brake forth as if it had issued out of the womb; |
| 38:9 |
When I made theclouds cloud the garment thereof andAnd thick darkness a swaddlingbandswaddling band for it |
| 38:10 |
And brakemarked upout for it my decreedbound placeAnd and set bars and doors |
| 38:11 |
And said Hitherto shalt thou come but no further:; andAnd here shall thy proud waves be stayed |
| 38:12 |
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; andbegan And caused the dayspring to know hisits place; |
| 38:13 |
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth thatAnd the wicked might be shaken out of it |
| 38:14 |
It is turnedchanged as clay tounder the seal; andAnd theyall things stand forth as a garment: |
| 38:15 |
And from the wicked their light is withholden andAnd the high arm shallis be broken |
| 38:16 |
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea orOr hast thou walked in the searchrecesses of the depthdeep |
| 38:17 |
Have the gates of death been openedrevealed unto thee orOr hast thou seen the doorsgates of the shadow of death |
| 38:18 |
Hast thou perceivedcomprehended the breadthearth ofin theits earthbreadth declareDeclare if thou knowest it all |
| 38:19 |
Where is the way whereto the dwelling of light dwellethAnd and as for darkness where is the place thereof |
| 38:20 |

Moreover theJehovah Lord answered Job and said |

Shall he that contendethcavilleth contend with the Almighty instructHe himthat heargueth thatwith reproveth God let him answer it |

Then Job answered theJehovah Lord and said |

| 40:5 |
Once have I spoken; butand I will not answer:; yeaYea twice; but I will proceed no further |
| 40:6 |
Then Jehovah answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind and said |

His strong scales are his pride shutShut up together as with a close seal |
| 41:16 |
One is so near to another thatThat no air can come between them |

They are joined one to another; theyThey stick together so that they cannot be sundered |

| 41:23 |
The flakes of his flesh are joined together: theyThey are firm inupon themselveshim; they cannot be moved |
| 41:24 |
His heart is as firm as a stone; yeaYea asfirm hard as a piece of the nether millstone |
| 41:25 |
When he raiseth himself up himself the mighty are afraid: byBy reason of breakingsconsternation they purifyare beside themselves |

Upon earth there is not his like whoThat is made without fear |

He beholdeth alleverything that is high things: heHe is a king over all the childrensons of pride |

Then Job answered theJehovah Lord and said |
| 42:2 |
I know that thou canst do everyall thingthings andAnd that no thoughtpurpose of thine can be withholden from theerestrained |
| 42:3 |
Who is hethis that hideth counsel without knowledge thereforeTherefore have I uttered that which I understood not; thingsThings too wonderful for me which I knew not |
| 42:4 |
Hear I beseech thee and I will speak:; I will demand of thee and declare thou unto me |
| 42:5 |
I havehad heard of thee by the hearing of the ear:; butBut now mine eye seeth thee: |
| 42:6 |
Wherefore I abhor myself andAnd repent in dust and ashes |
| 42:7 |
And it was so that after theJehovah Lord had spoken these words unto Job theJehovah Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite My wrath is kindled against thee and against thy two friends:; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right as my servant Job hath |
| 42:8 |
ThereforeNow therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you:; for him will I accept: lestthat I deal not with you after your folly; infor that ye have not spoken of me the thing whichthat is right likeas my servant Job hath |
| 42:9 |
So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as theJehovah Lord commanded them: theand LordJehovah also accepted Job |
| 42:10 |
And theJehovah Lord turned the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends: alsoand theJehovah Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before |
| 42:11 |
Then came there unto him all his brethren and all his sisters and all they that had been of his acquaintance before and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him and comforted him overconcerning all the evil that theJehovah Lord had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money and every one ana earringring of gold |
| 42:12 |
So theJehovah Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: forand he had fourteen thousand sheep and six thousand camels and a thousand yoke of oxen and a thousand she asses |
| 42:14 |
And he called the name of the first JemimaJemimah; and the name of the second KeziaKeziah; and the name of the third KerenhappuchKeren happuch |
| 42:16 |
AfterAnd after this Job lived Joba an hundred and forty years and saw his sons and his sons sons even four generations |
