9:9 who made the Bear and Orion the Plei′adesPleiades and the chambers of the south;
9:10 who does great things beyond understandingsearching out and marvelous things withoutbeyond number
9:11 LoBehold he passes by me and I see him not; he moves on but I do not perceive him
9:12 Behold he snatches away; who can hinderturn him back Who will say to him What doestare thouyou doing
9:15 Though I am innocentin the right I cannot answer him; I must appeal for mercy to my accuser
9:19 If it is a contest of strength behold himhe is mighty If it is a matter of justice who can summon him
9:20 Though I am innocentin the right my own mouth would condemn me; though I am blameless he would prove me perverse
9:22 It is all one; therefore I say heHe destroys both the blameless and the wicked
9:25 My days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they see no good
9:27 If I say I will forget my complaint I will put off my sad countenanceface and be of good cheer

9:31 yet thouyou wiltwill plunge me into a pit and my own clothes will abhor me
9:33 There is no umpirearbiter between us who might lay his hand uponon us both
10:2 I will say to God Do not condemn me; let me know why thouyou dost contend against me
10:3 Does it seem good to theeyou to oppress to despise the work of thyyour hands and favor the designs of the wicked
10:4 HastHave thouyou eyes of flesh DostDo thouyou see as man sees
10:5 Are thyyour days as the days of man or thyyour years as a mans years
10:6 that thouyou dost seek out my iniquity and search for my sin
10:7 although thouyou knowestknow that I am not guilty and there is none to deliver out of thyyour hand
10:8 ThyYour hands fashioned and made me; and now thouyou dosthave turndestroyed aboutme and destroy mealtogether
10:9 Remember that thouyou hasthave made me oflike clay; and wiltwill thouyou turnreturn me to the dust again
10:10 DidstDid thouyou not pour me out like milk and curdle me like cheese
10:11 ThouYou didstclothed clothe me with skin and flesh and knit me together with bones and sinews
10:12 ThouYou hasthave granted me life and steadfast love; and thyyour care has preserved my spirit
10:13 Yet these things thouyou didsthid hide in thyyour heart; I know that this was thyyour purpose
10:14 If I sin thouyou dostwatch mark me and dostdo not acquit me of my iniquity
10:15 If I am wickedguilty woe to me If I am righteousin the right I cannot lift up my head for I am filled with disgrace and look uponon my affliction

11:10 If he passes through and imprisons and callssummons tothe judgmentcourt who can hinderturn him back
11:12 But a stupid man will get understanding when a wild asssdonkeys colt is born a man
11:13 If you setprepare your heart aright you will stretch out your hands toward him
11:14 If iniquity is in your hand put it far away and let not wickednessinjustice dwell in your tents
11:18 And you will havefeel confidencesecure because there is hope; you will belook protectedaround and take your rest in safetysecurity
11:19 You will lie down and none will make you afraid; many will entreatcourt your favor
12:1 Then Job answered and said:
12:4 I am a laughingstock to my friends; I who called uponto God and he answered me a just and blameless man am a laughingstock
12:7 But ask the beasts and they will teach you; the birds of the airheavens and they will tell you;
12:8 or the plantsbushes of the earth and they will teach you; and the fish of the sea will declare to you
12:11 Does not the ear trytest words as the palate tastes food
12:16 With him are strength and sound wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are his
12:18 He looses the bonds of kings and binds a waistcloth on their loinships
12:21 He pours contempt on princes and loosesloosens the belt of the strong
12:23 He makes nations great and he destroys them:; he enlarges nations and leads them away
12:24 He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth and makes them wander in a pathlesstrackless waste
12:25 They grope in the dark without light; and he makes them stagger like a drunken man
13:1 LoBehold my eye has seen all this my ear has heard and understood it
13:6 Hear now my reasoningargument and listen to the pleadings of my lips
13:8 Will you show partiality toward him willWill you plead the case for God
13:12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay
13:14 Why should I will take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in my hand
13:15 BeholdThough he will slay me; I havewill nohope hopein him; yet I will defendargue my ways to his face
13:16 This will be my salvation that athe godless man shall not come before him
13:17 ListenKeep carefullylistening to my words and let my declaration be in your ears
13:18 Behold I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be vindicatedin the right
13:19 Who is there thatwho will contend with me For then I would be silent and die
13:20 Only grant me two things to me then I will not hide myself from thyyour face:
13:21 withdraw thyyour hand far from me and let not dread of theeyou terrify me
13:22 Then call and I will answer; or let me speak and doyou thou reply to me
13:24 Why dostdo thouyou hide thyyour face and count me as thyyour enemy
13:25 WiltWill thouyou frighten a driven leaf and pursue dry chaff
13:26 For thouyou writestwrite bitter things against me and makestmake me inherit the iniquities of my youth
13:27 ThouYou puttestput my feet in the stocks and watchestwatch all my paths; thouyou settestset a boundlimit tofor the soles of my feet
14:1 Man thatwho is born of a woman is few of few days and full of trouble
14:2 He comes forthout like a flower and withers; he flees like a shadow and continues not
14:3 And dostdo thouyou open thyyour eyes uponon such a one and bring himme into judgment with theeyou
14:5 Since his days are determined and the number of his months is with theeyou and thouyou hasthave appointed his boundslimits that he cannot pass
14:6 look away from him and desistleave him alone that he may enjoy like a hirelinghired hand his day
14:8 Though its root grow old in the earth and its stump die in the groundsoil
14:9 yet at the scent of water it will bud and put forthout branches like a young plant
14:10 But a man dies and is laid low; man breathes his last and where is he
14:12 so a man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake or be roused out of his sleep
14:13 Oh that thouyou wouldestwould hide me in Sheol that thouyou wouldestwould conceal me until thyyour wrath be past that thouyou wouldestwould appoint me a set time and remember me
14:14 If a man diedies shall he live again All the days of my service I would wait till my releaserenewal should come
14:15 ThouYou wouldestwould call and I would answer theeyou; thouyou wouldestwould long for the work of thyyour hands
14:16 For then thouyou wouldestwould number my steps; thouyou wouldestwould not keep watch over my sin;
14:17 my transgression would be sealed up in a bag and thouyou wouldestwould cover over my iniquity
14:19 the waters wear away the stones; the torrents wash away the soil of the earth; so thouyou destroyestdestroy the hope of man
14:20 ThouYou prevailestprevail forforever ever against him and he passes; thouyou changestchange his countenance and sendestsend him away
15:1 Then Eli′phazEliphaz the Te′maniteTemanite answered and said:
15:2 Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge and fill himselfhis belly with the east wind
15:7 Are you the first man thatwho was born Or were you brought forth before the hills
15:11 Are the consolationscomforts of God too small for you or the word that deals gently with you
15:13 that you turn your spirit against God and letbring such words go out of your mouth
15:14 What is man that he can be cleanpure Or he thatwho is born of a woman that he can be righteous
15:15 Behold God puts no trust in his holy ones and the heavens are not cleanpure in his sight;
15:16 how much less one who is abominable and corrupt a man who drinks iniquityinjustice like water
15:17 I will show you; hear me; and what I have seen I will declare
15:18 what wise men have told andwithout theirhiding fathersit havefrom nottheir hiddenfathers
15:21 TerrifyingDreadful sounds are in his ears; in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him
15:22 He does not believe that he will return out of darkness and he is destinedmarked for the sword
15:24 distress and anguish terrify him; they prevail against him like a king preparedready for battle
15:25 Because he has stretched forthout his hand against God and bidsdefies defiance to the Almighty
15:26 running stubbornly against him with a thickthickly bossed shield;
15:27 because he has covered his face with his fat and gathered fat upon his loinswaist
15:28 and has lived in desolate cities in houses whichthat nonone man should inhabit which were destinedready to become heaps of ruins;
15:29 he will not be rich and his wealth will not endure nor will hehis strikepossessions rootspread inover the earth;
15:30 he will not escapedepart from darkness; the flame will dry up his shoots and hisby blossomthe willbreath beof swepthis awaymouth byhe thewill winddepart
15:31 Let him not trust in emptiness deceiving himself; for emptiness will be his recompensepayment
15:35 They conceive mischieftrouble and bringgive forthbirth to evil and their heartwomb prepares deceit
16:1 Then Job answered and said:
16:8 And he has shriveled me up which is a witness against me; and my leanness has risen up against me; it testifies to my face
16:10 Men have gaped at me with their mouth; they have struck me insolently uponon the cheek; they mass themselves together against me
16:12 I was at ease and he broke me asunderapart; he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces; he set me up as his target;
16:16 My face is red with weeping and on my eyelids is deep darkness;
16:19 Even now behold my witness is in heaven and he thatwho vouchestestifies for me is on high
16:21 that he would maintainargue the rightcase of a man with God likeas thata son of a man does with his neighbor
16:22 For when a few years have come I shall go the way whencefrom which I shall not return
17:1 My spirit is broken; my days are extinct; the gravegraveyard is ready for me
17:3 Lay down a pledge for me with thyselfyou; who is there thatwho will giveput suretyup security for me
17:4 Since thouyou hasthave closed their mindshearts to understanding therefore thouyou wiltwill not let them triumph
17:5 He who informs against his friends to get a share of their property— the eyes of his children will fail
17:7 My eye has grown dim from griefvexation and all my members are like a shadow
17:8 UprightThe menupright are appalled at this and the innocent stirs himself up against the godless
17:9 Yet the righteous holds to his way and he thatwho has clean hands grows stronger and stronger
17:11 My days are past; my plans are broken off the desires of my heart
17:12 They make night into day;: The light they say is near to the darkness
17:13 If I lookhope for Sheol as my house if I spreadmake my couchbed in darkness
18:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
18:5 YeaIndeed the light of the wicked is put out and the flame of his fire does not shine
18:8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet and he walks on aits pitfallmesh
18:9 A trap seizes him by the heel; a snare lays hold of him
18:10 A rope is hidhidden for him in the ground a trap for him in the path
18:12 His strength is hungerfamished bitten and calamity is ready for his stumbling
18:13 ByIt diseaseconsumes the parts of his skin; is consumed the firstfirstborn born of death consumes his limbs
18:15 In his tent dwells that which is none of his; brimstonesulfur is scattered uponover his habitation
18:19 He has no offspringposterity or descendantprogeny among his people and no survivor where he used to live
18:21 Surely such are the dwellings of the ungodlyunrighteous such is the place of him who knows not God
19:1 Then Job answered and said:
19:5 If indeed you magnify yourselves against me and make my humiliationdisgrace an argument against me
19:7 Behold I cry out Violence but I am not answered; I call aloudfor help but there is no justice
19:12 His troops come on together; they have cast up siegeworkstheir siege ramp against me and encamp roundaround about my tent
19:13 He has put my brethrenbrothers far from me and mythose acquaintanceswho knew me are wholly estranged from me
19:14 My kinsfolkrelatives andhave failed me my close friends have failedforgotten me;
19:15 The the guests in my house haveand forgotten me; my maidservants count me as a stranger; I have become ana alienforeigner in their eyes
19:16 I call to my servant but he gives me no answer; I must beseechplead with him with my mouth for mercy
19:17 IMy ambreath repulsiveis strange to my wife loathsomeand I am a stench to the sonschildren of my own mother
19:20 My bones cleavestick to my skin and to my flesh and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth
19:21 Have pitymercy on me have pitymercy on me O you my friends for the hand of God has touched me
19:24 Oh that with an iron pen and lead they were gravenengraved in the rock for everforever
19:25 For I know that my Redeemer lives and at the last he will stand upon the earth;
19:26 andAnd after my skin has been thus destroyed thenyet fromin my flesh I shall see God
19:27 whom I shall see onfor mymyself side and my eyes shall behold and not another My heart faints within me
19:28 If you say How we will pursue him and The root of the matter is found in him;
20:1 Then Zophar the Na′amathiteNaamathite answered and said:
20:3 I hear censure whichthat insults me and out of my understanding a spirit answers me
20:4 Do you not know this from of old since man was placed uponon earth
20:7 he will perish forforever ever like his own dung; those who have seen him will say Where is he
20:9 The eye whichthat saw him will see him no more nor will his place any more behold him
20:11 His bones are full of his youthful vigor but it will lie down with him in the dust
20:12 Though wickednessevil is sweet in his mouth though he hides it under his tongue
20:14 yet his food is turned in his stomach; it is the gallvenom of aspscobras within him
20:16 He will suck the poison of aspscobras; the tongue of a viper will kill him
20:19 For he has crushed and abandoned the poor; he has seized a house whichthat he did not build
20:20 Because hishe greed knew no restcontentment in his belly he will not savelet anything in which he delights escape him
20:22 In the fulnessfullness of his sufficiency he will be in straitsdistress; all the forcehand of everyone in misery will come uponagainst him
20:23 To fill his belly to the full God will send his fierceburning anger intoagainst him and rain it upon him asinto his foodbody
20:25 It is drawn forth and comes out of his body; the glittering point comes out of his gallgallbladder; terrors come upon him
20:26 Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not blownfanned upon will devour him; what is left in his tent will be consumed
21:1 Then Job answered and said:
21:2 ListenKeep carefullylistening to my words and let this be your consolationcomfort
21:5 Look at me and be appalled and lay your hand uponover your mouth
21:6 When I thinkremember of it I am dismayed and shuddering seizes my flesh
21:8 Their childrenoffspring are established in their presence and their offspringdescendants before their eyes
21:10 Their bull breeds without fail; their cow calves and does not cast her calfmiscarry
21:11 They send forthout their little onesboys like a flock and their children dance
21:14 They say to God Depart from us We do not desire the knowledge of thyyour ways
21:19 You say God stores up their iniquity for their sonschildren Let him recompensepay it out to themselvesthem that they may know it
21:22 Will any teach God knowledge seeing that he judges those thatwho are on high
21:23 One dies in his full prosperityvigor being wholly at ease and secure
21:24 his bodypails full of fatmilk and the marrow of his bones moist
21:25 Another dies in bitterness of soul never having tasted of goodprosperity
21:28 For you say Where is the house of the prince Where is the tent in which the wicked dweltlived
21:30 that the wickedevil man is spared in the day of calamity that he is rescued in the day of wrath
21:31 Who declares his way to his face and who requitesrepays him for what he has done
21:32 When he is bornecarried to the grave watch is kept over his tomb
21:33 The clods of the valley are sweet to him; all menmankind followfollows after him and those who go before him are innumerable
22:1 Then Eli′phazEliphaz the Te′maniteTemanite answered and said:
22:3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteousin the right or is it gain to him if you make your ways blameless
22:5 Is not your wickednessevil greatabundant There is no end to your iniquities
22:8 The man with power possessed the land and the favored man dweltlived in it
22:10 Therefore snares are roundall aboutaround you and sudden terror overwhelms you;
22:11 youror lightdarkness is darkened so that you cannot see and a flood of water covers you
22:13 ThereforeBut you say What does God know Can he judge through the deep darkness
22:14 Thick clouds enwrapveil him so that he does not see and he walks on the vault of heaven
22:15 Will you keep to the old way whichthat wicked men have trod
22:19 The righteous see it and are glad; the innocent laughone themmocks toat scornthem
22:23 If you return to the Almighty andyou humblewill yourselfbe built up; if you remove unrighteousnessinjustice far from your tents
22:25 andthen if the Almighty iswill be your gold and your precious silver;
22:26 For then you will delight yourself in the Almighty and lift up your face to God
22:27 You will make your prayer to him and he will hear you; and you will pay your vows
22:29 For Godwhen abasesthey theare proudhumbled you say It is because of pride; but he saves the lowly
22:30 He delivers even the one who is not innocent man;who you will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands
23:1 Then Job answered and said:
23:2 Today also my complaint is bitter; hismy hand is heavy inon spiteaccount of my groaning
23:5 I would learnknow what he would answer me and understand what he would say to me
23:6 Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power No; he would givepay heedattention to me
23:7 There an upright man could reasonargue with him and I shouldwould be acquitted forforever ever by my judge
23:8 Behold I go forward but he is not there; and backward but I cannotdo not perceive him;
23:9 on the left hand Iwhen seekhe himis butworking I cannotdo not behold him; Ihe turnturns to the right hand but I cannotdo not see him
23:10 But he knows the way that I take; when he has tried me I shall come forthout as gold
23:12 I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured in my bosom the words of his mouth more than my portion of food
23:13 But he is unchangeable and who can turn him back What he desires that he does
23:14 For he will complete what he appoints for me; and many such things are in his mind
23:17 foryet I am hemmednot insilenced bybecause of the darkness andnor because thick darkness covers my face
24:2 MenSome removemove landmarks; they seize flocks and pasture them
24:3 They drive away the assdonkey of the fatherless; they take the widows ox for a pledge
24:5 Behold like wild assesdonkeys in the desert theythe poor go forthout to their toil seeking preygame; in the wildernesswasteland asyields food for their children
24:8 They are wet with the rain of the mountains and cling to the rock for wantlack of shelter
24:9 There are those who snatch the fatherless child from the breast and they take ina pledge theagainst infant of the poor
24:11 among the olive rows of the wicked they make oil; they tread the winewinepresses presses but suffer thirst
24:12 From out of the city the dying groan and the soul of the wounded cries for help; yet God payscharges no attentionone towith their prayerwrong
24:14 The murderer rises inbefore theit darkis light that he may kill the poor and needy; and in the night he is aslike a thief
24:15 The eye of the adulterer also waits for the twilight saying No eye will see me; and he disguisesveils his face
24:18 You say TheySwift are swiftlythey carriedon away upon the face of the waters; their portion is cursed in the land; no treader turns toward their vineyards
24:20 The squareswomb offorgets them; the townworm forgetfinds them sweet; theirthey nameare is no longer remembered; so wickedness is broken like a tree
24:21 They feedwrong on the barren childless woman and do no good to the widow
24:23 He gives them security and they are supported; and his eyes are upon their ways
24:24 They are exalted a little while and then are gone; they witherare brought low and fadegathered up like theall mallowothers; they are cut off like the heads of grain
25:1 Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
25:4 How then can man be righteousin the right before God How can he who is born of woman be cleanpure
25:5 Behold even the moon is not bright and the stars are not cleanpure in his sighteyes;
26:1 Then Job answered and said:
26:4 With whose help have you uttered words and whose spiritbreath has come forthout from you
26:5 The shadesdead below tremble under the waters and their inhabitants
26:7 He stretches out the north over the void and hangs the earth uponon nothing
26:8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds and the cloud is not rentsplit open under them
26:9 He covers the face of the full moon and spreads over it his cloud
26:10 He has describedinscribed a circle uponon the face of the waters at the boundary between light and darkness
26:12 By his power he stilled the sea; by his understanding he smoteshattered Rahab
26:14 LoBehold these are but the outskirts of his ways; and how small a whisper do we hear of him But the thunder of his power who can understand
27:2 As God lives who has taken away my right and the Almighty who has made my soul bitter;
27:3 as long as my breath is in me and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
27:7 Let my enemy be as the wicked and let him thatwho rises up against me be as the unrighteous
27:9 Will God hear his cry when troubledistress comes upon him
27:13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God and the heritage whichthat oppressors receive from the Almighty:
27:14 If his children are multiplied it is for the sword; and his offspringdescendants have not enough to eatbread
27:15 Those who survive him the pestilence buries and theirhis widows makedo nonot lamentationweep
27:16 Though he heap up silver like dust and pile up clothing like clay;
27:17 he may pile it up but the justrighteous will wear it and the innocent will divide the silver
27:18 TheHe housebuilds whichhis hehouse builds is like a spidersmoths web like a booth whichthat a watchman makes
28:1 Surely there is a mine for silver and a place for gold whichthat they refine
28:3 MenMan putputs an end to darkness and searchsearches out to the farthest boundlimit the ore in gloom and deep darkness
28:4 TheyHe openopens shafts in a valley away from where menanyone livelives; they are forgotten by travelers; they hang afarin the air far away from menmankind; they swing to and fro
28:5 As for the earth out of it comes bread; but underneath it is turned up as by fire
28:11 He bindsdams up the streams so that they do not trickle and the thing that is hidhidden he brings forthout to light
28:13 Man does not know theits wayworth to it and it is not found in the land of the living
28:15 It cannot be gottenbought for gold and silver cannot be weighed as its price
28:19 The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compareequal with it nor can it be valued in pure gold
28:20 WhenceFrom where then comesdoes wisdom come And where is the place of understanding
28:21 It is hidhidden from the eyes of all living and concealed from the birds of the air
28:25 When he gave to the wind its weight and metedapportioned out the waters by measure;
28:26 when he made a decree for the rain and a way for the lightning of the thunder;
28:28 And he said to man Behold the fear of the Lord that is wisdom; and to departturn away from evil is understanding
29:2 Oh that I were as in the months of old as in the days when God watched over me;
29:3 when his lamp shone upon my head and by his light I walked through darkness;
29:4 as I was in my autumnprime days when the friendship of God was upon my tent;
29:5 when the Almighty was yet with me when my children were aboutall around me;
29:6 when my steps were washed with milkbutter and the rock poured out for me streams of oil
29:10 the voice of the nobles was hushed and their tongue cleavedstuck to the roof of their mouth
29:11 When the ear heard it called me blessed and when the eye saw it approved;
29:12 because I delivered the poor who cried for help and the fatherless who had none to help him
29:16 I was a father to the poorneedy and I searched out the cause of him whom I did not know
29:23 They waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouths as for the spring rain
29:24 I smiled on them when they had no confidence; and the light of my countenanceface they did not cast down
29:25 I chose their way and sat as chief and I dweltlived like a king among his troops like one who comforts mourners
30:1 But now they makelaugh sportat of me men who are younger than I whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock
30:3 Through want and hard hunger they gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolate grounddesolation;
30:4 they pick mallowsaltwort and the leaves of bushes and to warm themselves the roots of the broom tree for their food
30:5 They are driven out from amonghuman mencompany; they shout after them as after a thief
30:8 A senseless a disreputablenameless brood they have been whipped out of the land
30:9 And now I have become their song; I am a byword to them
30:10 They abhor me; they keep aloof from me; they do not hesitate to spit at the sight of me
30:12 On my right hand the rabble rise; they drivepush meaway forthmy feet; they cast up against me their ways of destruction
30:13 They break up my path; they promote my calamity; they need no one restrainsto help them
30:18 With violencegreat itforce seizes my garment is disfigured; it binds me about like the collar of my tunic
30:20 I cry to theeyou for help and thouyou dostdo not answer me; I stand and thouyou dostonly notlook heedat me
30:21 ThouYou hasthave turned cruel to me; with the might of thyyour hand thouyou dost persecute me
30:22 ThouYou liftestlift me up on the wind; thouyou makestmake me ride on it and thouyou tossesttoss me about in the roar of the storm
30:23 YeaFor I know that thouyou wiltwill bring me to death and to the house appointed for all living
30:25 Did not I weep for him whose day was hard Was not my soul grieved for the poorneedy
30:26 But when I lookedhoped for good evil came; and when I waited for light darkness came
30:27 My heartinward isparts are in turmoil and is never still; days of affliction come to meet me
30:28 I go about blackeneddarkened but not by the sun; I stand up in the assembly and cry for help
31:1 I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I lookgaze uponat a virgin
31:3 DoesIs not calamity befallfor the unrighteous and disaster for the workers of iniquity
31:7 if my step has turned aside from the way and my heart has gone after my eyes and if any spot has cleavedstuck to my hands;
31:8 then let me sow and another eat; and let what grows for me be rooted out
31:9 If my heart has been enticed totoward a woman and I have lain in wait at my neighbors door;
31:10 then let my wife grind for another and let others bow down uponon her
31:12 for that would be a fire whichthat consumes untoas far as Abaddon and it would burn to the root all my increase
31:13 If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant when they brought a complaint against me;
31:18 for from hismy youth Ithe rearedfatherless himgrew up with me as with a father and from hismy mothers womb I guided him;the widow
31:19 if I have seen anyanyone one perish for lack of clothing or athe poorneedy man without covering;
31:20 if his loinsbody havehas not blessed me and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
31:21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless because I saw my help in the gate;
31:24 If I have made gold my trust or called fine gold my confidence;
31:25 if I have rejoiced because my wealth was greatabundant or because my hand had gottenfound much;
31:27 and my heart has been secretly enticed and my mouth has kissed my hand;
31:28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges for I shouldwould have been false to God above
31:29 If I have rejoiced at the ruin of him thatwho hated me or exulted when evil overtook him
31:30 I have not let my mouth sin by asking for his life with a curse;
31:32 the sojourner has not lodged in the street; I have opened my doors to the wayfarer;traveler
31:33 if I have concealed my transgressions fromas menothers do by hiding my iniquity in my bosomheart
31:35 Oh that I had one to hear me Here is my signature letLet the Almighty answer me Oh that I had the indictment written by my adversary
31:38 If my land has cried out against me and its furrows have wept together;
31:39 if I have eaten its yield without payment and causedmade theits deathowners ofbreathe itstheir owners;last
32:2 Then Eli′huElihu the son of Bar′achelBarachel the Buzite of the family of Ram becameburned angrywith anger He wasburned angrywith anger at Job because he justified himself rather than God;
32:3 heHe wasburned angrywith anger also at Jobs three friends because they had found no answer although they had declared Job to be in the wrong
32:4 Now Eli′huElihu had waited to speak to Job because they were older than he
32:5 And when Eli′huElihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men he becameburned angrywith anger
32:6 And Eli′huElihu the son of Bar′achelBarachel the Buzite answered and said: I am young in years and you are aged; therefore I was timid and afraid to declare my opinion to you
32:8 But it is the spirit in a man the breath of the Almighty that makes him understand
32:9 It is not the old thatwho are wise nor the aged thatwho understand what is right
32:12 I gave you my attention and behold there was none thatamong confutedyou who refuted Job or thatwho answered his words among you
32:13 Beware lest you say We have found wisdom; God may vanquish him not a man
32:15 They are discomfiteddismayed; they answer no more; they have not a word to say
32:17 I also will giveanswer with my answershare; I also will declare my opinion
32:18 For I am full of words; the spirit within me constrains me
32:19 Behold my heartbelly is like wine that has no vent; like new wineskins it is ready to burst
32:21 I will not show partiality to any personman or use flattery toward any manperson
32:22 For I do not know how to flatter else would my Maker would soon puttake anme end to meaway
33:4 The spiritSpirit of God has made me and the breath of the Almighty gives me life
33:6 Behold I am toward God as you are; I too was formedpinched off from a piece of clay
33:8 Surely you have spoken in my hearingears and I have heard the sound of your words
33:9 You say I am cleanpure without transgression; I am pureclean and there is no iniquity in me
33:10 Behold he finds occasions against me he counts me as his enemy;
33:12 Behold in this you are not right I will answer you for God is greater than man
33:13 Why do you contend against him saying He will answer none of mymans words
33:15 In a dream in a vision of the night when deep sleep falls uponon men while they slumber on their beds
33:17 that he may turn man aside from his deed and cutconceal off pride from a man;
33:18 he keeps back his soul from the Pitpit his life from perishing by the sword
33:19 Man is also chastenedrebuked with pain uponon his bed and with continual strife in his bones;
33:20 so that his life loathes bread and his appetite daintythe choicest food
33:21 His flesh is so wasted away that it cannot be seen; and his bones whichthat were not seen stick out
33:22 His soul draws near the Pitpit and his life to those who bring death
33:23 If there be for him an angel a mediator one of the thousand to declare to man what is right for him;
33:24 and he is graciousmerciful to him and says Deliver him from going down into the Pitpit; I have found a ransom;
33:26 then man prays to God and he accepts him; he comessees into his presenceface with a shout of joy Heand recountshe restores to menman his salvationrighteousness
33:27     andHe he sings before men and says: I sinned and perverted what was right and it was not requitedrepaid to me
33:28 He has redeemed my soul from going down into the Pitpit and my life shall seelook upon the light
33:30 to bring back his soul from the Pitpit that he may seebe lighted with the light of life
33:31 GivePay heedattention O Job listen to me; be silent and I will speak
33:32 If you have anythingany towords say answer me; speak for I desire to justify you
34:1 Then Eli′huElihu answered and said:
34:4 Let us choose what is right; let us determineknow among ourselves what is good
34:5 For Job has said I am innocentin the right and God has taken away my right;
34:8 who goestravels in company with evildoers and walks with wicked men
34:10 Therefore hear me you men of understanding: far be it from God that he should do wickedness and from the Almighty that he should do wrong
34:11 For according to the work of a man he will requiterepay him and according to his ways he will make it befall him
34:14 If he should takeset back his spiritheart to himselfit and gather to himself his spirit and his breath
34:18 who says to a king Worthless one and to nobles Wicked man;
34:21 For his eyes are uponon the ways of a man and he sees all his steps
34:23 For heGod has notno appointedneed to consider a timeman forfurther anythat manhe toshould go before God in judgment
34:26 He strikes them for their wickedness in thea sightplace offor menall to see
34:31 For has anyanyone one said to God I have borne chastisementpunishment; I will not offend any more;
34:33 Will he then make requitalrepayment to suit you because you reject it For you must choose and not I; therefore declare what you know
34:35 Job speaks without knowledge; his words are without insight
35:1 And Eli′huElihu answered and said:
35:7 If you are righteous what do you give to him; orOr what does he receive from your hand
35:11 who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth and makes us wiser than the birds of the airheavens
35:15 And now because his anger does not punish and he does not greatlytake heedmuch note of transgression
35:16 Job opens his mouth in empty talk; he multiplies words without knowledge
36:1 And Eli′huElihu continued and said:
36:3 I will fetchget my knowledge from afar and ascribe righteousness to my Maker
36:7 He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous but with kings uponon the throne he sets them forforever ever and they are exalted
36:8 And if they are bound in fetterschains and caught in the cords of affliction
36:11 If they hearkenlisten and serve him they complete their days in prosperity and their years in pleasantness
36:12 But if they do not hearkenlisten they perish by the sword and die without knowledge
36:14 They die in youth and their life ends inamong shamethe cult prostitutes
36:18 Beware lest wrath entice you into scoffing; and let not the greatness of the ransom turn you aside
36:19 Will your cry for help avail to keep you from distress or all the force of your strength
36:20 Do not long for the night when peoples arevanish cut off in their place
36:21 Take heedcare; do not turn to iniquity for this you have chosen rather than affliction
36:23 Who has prescribed for him his way or who can say ThouYou hasthave done wrong
36:25 All menmankind havehas looked on it; man beholds it from afar
36:27 For he draws up the drops of water; hethey distilsdistill his mist in rain
36:28 which the skies pour down and drop uponon manmankind abundantly
36:29 Can anyanyone one understand the spreading of the clouds the thunderings of his pavilion
36:33 Its crashing declares concerninghis himpresence; whothe iscattle jealousalso withdeclare angerthat againsthe iniquityrises
37:2 HearkenKeep listening to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth
37:5 God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things whichthat we cannot comprehend
37:6 For to the snow he says Fall on the earth; andlikewise to the showerdownpour andhis themighty rain Be strongdownpour
37:7 He seals up the hand of every man that all men whom he made may know his workit
37:12 They turn roundaround and roundaround by his guidance to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world
37:18 Can you like him spread out the skies hard as a moltencast metal mirror
37:21 And now menno cannotone looklooks on the light when it is bright in the skies when the wind has passed and cleared them
37:22 Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with terribleawesome majesty
37:23 The Almighty—we cannot find him; he is great in power; and justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate
38:1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
38:3 GirdDress upfor youraction loins like a man; I will question you and you shallmake declareit known to me
38:8 Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst forthout from the womb;
38:10 and prescribed boundslimits for it and set bars and doors
38:14 It is changed like clay under the seal and itits isfeatures dyedstand out like a garment
38:26 to bring rain on a land where no man is on the desert in which there is no man;
38:27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land and to make the ground putsprout forthwith grass
38:29 From whose womb did the ice come forth and who has given birth to the hoarfrostfrost of heaven
38:31 Can you bind the chains of the Plei′adesPleiades or loose the cords of Orion
38:32 Can you lead forth the Maz′zarothMazzaroth in their season or can you guide the Bear with its children
38:36 Who has put wisdom in the cloudsinward parts or given understanding to the mistsmind
38:38 when the dust runs into a mass and the clods cleavestick fast together
38:40 when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in their covertthicket
38:41 Who provides for the raven its prey when its young ones cry to God for help and wander about for lack of food
39:1 Do you know when the mountain goats bringgive forthbirth Do you observe the calving of the hindsdoes
39:2 Can you number the months that they fulfilfulfill and do you know the time when they bringgive forthbirth
39:4 Their young ones become strong; they grow up in the open; they go forthout and do not return to them
39:5 Who has let the wild assdonkey go free Who has loosed the bonds of the swift assdonkey
39:6 to whom I have given the steppearid plain for his home and the salt land for his dwelling place
39:9 Is the wild ox willing to serve you Will he spend the night at your cribmanger
39:12 Do you have faith in him that he will return your grain and bringgather yourit grain to your threshing floor
39:13 The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; but are they the pinions and plumage of love
39:16 She deals cruelly with her young as if they were not hers; though her labor be in vain yet she has no fear;
39:19 Do you give the horse his might Do you clothe his neck with strengtha mane
39:20 Do you make him leap like the locust His majestic snorting is terribleterrifying
39:26 Is it by your wisdomunderstanding that the hawk soars and spreads his wings toward the south
39:28 On the rock he dwells and makes his home inon the fastnessrocky ofcrag theand rocky cragstronghold
39:29 ThenceFrom there he spies out the prey; his eyes behold it afarfrom offfar away
39:30 His young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are there is he
40:3 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
40:4 Behold I am of small account; what shall I answer theeyou I lay my hand on my mouth
40:6 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
40:7 GirdDress upfor youraction loins like a man; I will question you and you declaremake it known to me
40:8 Will you even put me in the wrong Will you condemn me that you may be justifiedin the right
40:10 DeckAdorn yourself with majesty and dignity; clothe yourself with glory and splendor
40:11 Pour forthout the overflowings of your anger and look on everyeveryone onewho that is proud and abase him
40:12 Look on everyeveryone onewho that is proud and bring him low; and tread down the wicked where they stand
40:14 Then will I also acknowledge to you that your own right hand can givesave you victory
40:15 Behold Be′hemothBehemoth which I made as I made you; he eats grass like an ox
40:21 Under the lotus plants he lies in the covertshelter of the reeds and in the marsh
40:24 Can one take him withby hookshis eyes or pierce his nose with a snare
41:1 Can you draw out Levi′athanLeviathan with a fishhook or press down his tongue with a cord
41:3 Will he make many supplicationspleas to you Will he speak to you soft words
41:4 Will he make a covenant with you to take him for your servant for everforever
41:5 Will you play with him as with a bird or will you put him on a leash for your maidensgirls
41:8 Lay your hands on him; thinkremember of the battle; —you will not do it again
41:9 Behold the hope of a man is disappointedfalse; he is laid low even at the sight of him
41:10 No one is so fierce that he dares to stir him up Who then is he thatwho can stand before me
41:11 Who has first given to me that I should repay him Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine
41:13 Who can strip off his outer garment Who canwould penetratecome hisnear doublehim coatwith ofa mailbridle
41:14 Who can open the doors of his face RoundAround about his teeth is terror
41:23 The folds of his flesh cleavestick together firmly cast uponon him and immovable
41:24 His heart is hard as a stone hard as the netherlower millstone
41:26 Though the sword reaches him it does not avail; nor the spear the dart or the javelin
41:28 The arrow cannot make him flee; for him slingstonessling stones are turned to stubble
41:32 Behind him he leaves a shining wake; one would think the deep to be hoarywhite haired
41:33 UponOn earth there is not his like a creature without fear
41:34 He beholdssees everything that is high; he is king over all the sons of pride
42:1 Then Job answered the Lord and said:
42:2 I know that thouyou canstcan do all things and that no purpose of thineyours can be thwarted
42:4 Hear and I will speak; I will question you and you declaremake it known to me
42:5 I had heard of theeyou by the hearing of the ear but now my eye sees theeyou;
42:7 After the Lord had spoken these words to Job the Lord said to Eli′phazEliphaz the Te′maniteTemanite: My wrathanger isburns kindled against you and against your two friends; for you have not spoken of me what is right as my servant Job has
42:8 Now therefore take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; andfor yourselves And my servant Job shall pray for you for I will accept his prayer not to deal with you according to your folly; forFor you have not spoken of me what is right as my servant Job has
