| 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 children of the east. |
| 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 burnburnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said., It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced 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 the LordJehovah, andthat Satan also came also among them. |
| 1:7 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LordJehovah, 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? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an uptightupright man, one that feareth God, and eschewethturneth away from evil. |
| 1:9 |
Then Satan answered the LordJehovah, 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 renounce 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. |
| 1:14 |
that there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:; |
| 1:15 |
and 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. |
| 1:16 |
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; 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 three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken 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 |
and, 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 |
and 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 the LordJehovah. |
| 1:22 |
: In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God with foolishnessfoolishly. |
| 2:1 |
Again thereit wascame ato pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LordJehovah, andthat Satan came also among them to present himself before the LordJehovah. |
| 2:2 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LordJehovah, 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? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and artan upright man, one that feareth God, and eschewethturneth away from evil: Andand he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause. |
| 2:4 |
And Satan answered the LordJehovah, 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 renounce thee to thy face. |
| 2:6 |
And theJehovah Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thinethy hand; only spare his life. |
| 2:7 |
So Satan went forth from the presence of the LordJehovah, 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 among the ashes. |
| 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:; Andand they made an appointment together to come to bemoan 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. |
| 2:13 |
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: Forfor they saw that his grief was very great. |
| 3:3 |
Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man child conceived. |
| 3:4 |
Let that day be darkness; Let not God regardfrom itabove fromseek abovefor it, Neither let the light shine upon it. |
| 3:6 |
As for that night, let thick darkness seize upon it: Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months. |
| 3:7 |
Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein. |
| 3:8 |
Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan. |
| 3:10 |
Because it shut not up the doors of my mothers womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes. |
| 3:11 |
Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when Imy camemother outbare of the bellyme? |
| 3:12 |
Why did the knees receive me? orOr why the breasts, that I should suck? |
| 3:13 |
For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest:, |
| 3:14 |
With kings and counsellors of the earth, WhichWho built up waste places for themselves; |
| 3:16 |
Or as ana hidden untimely birth I had not been;, As infants whichthat never saw light. |
| 3:17 |
There the wicked cease from troubling; And there the weary beare at rest. |
| 3:18 |
There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster. |
| 3:19 |
The small and the great are there;: And the servant is free from his master. |
| 3:21 |
WhichWho long for death, but it cometh not;, And dig for it more than for hid treasures; |
| 3:22 |
WhichWho rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave? |
| 3:24 |
For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my roaringsgroanings are poured out like water. |
| 3:25 |
For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me. |
| 4:3 |
Behold, thou hast instructed many, And thou hast strengthened the weak hands. |
| 4:4 |
Thy words have upholden him that was falling, And thou hast confirmedmade firm the feeble knees. |
| 4:5 |
But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled. |
| 4:6 |
Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, And thy hope the integrity of thy ways thy hope? |
| 4:8 |
According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, And sow trouble, reap the same. |
| 4:9 |
By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of his anger are they consumed. |
| 4:10 |
The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions, are broken. |
| 4:11 |
The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad. |
| 4:12 |
Now a thing was secretly brought to me, And mine ear received a whisper thereof. |
| 4:14 |
Fear came upon me, and trembling, Which made all my bones to shake. |
| 4:15 |
Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair of my flesh stood up. |
| 4:19 |
How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, WhichWho are crushed before the moth! |
| 4:20 |
Betwixt morning and evening they are destroyed: They perish for ever without any regarding it. |
| 5:4 |
His children are far from safety, And they are crushed in the gate, Neither is there any to deliver them.: |
| 5:5 |
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, And taketh it even out of the thorns,; And the snare gapeth for their substance. |
| 5:6 |
For affliction cometh not forth offrom the dust, Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground; |
| 5:8 |
But as for me, I would seek unto God, And unto God would I commit my cause:; |
| 5:9 |
WhichWho doeth great things and unsearchable;, MarvelousMarvellous things without number: |
| 5:10 |
Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth waters upon the fields:; |
| 5:11 |
So that he setteth up on high those that beare low;, And those whichthat mourn are exalted to safety. |
| 5:13 |
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness:; And the counsel of the frowardcunning is carried headlong. |
| 5:14 |
They meet with darkness in the daytimeday time, And grope at noonday as in the night. |
| 5:16 |
So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth. |
| 5:19 |
He shallwill deliver thee in six troubles; Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee. |
| 5:20 |
In famine he shallwill redeem thee from death; And in war from the power of the sword. |
| 5:26 |
Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, Like as a shock of corngrain cometh in in its season. |
| 6:2 |
Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances together! |
| 6:6 |
Can that which hath no savoursavor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg? |
| 6:7 |
My soul refuseth to touch them; They are as loathsome meatfood to me. |
| 6:8 |
Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant me the thing that I long for.! |
| 6:10 |
ThenAnd shouldbe Iit yetstill havemy comfort;consolation, Yea, Ilet wouldme exult in pain that spareth not:, ForThat I have not denied the words of the Holy One. |
| 6:11 |
What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is mine end, atthat I should be patient? |
| 6:13 |
Is it not that I have no help in me, And that effectualwisdom working is driven quite from me? |
| 6:14 |
To him that is ready to faint kindness should be shewedshowed from his friend; Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. |
| 6:17 |
What time they wax warm, they vanish:; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place. |
| 6:20 |
They were ashamedput to shame because they had hoped; They came thither, and were confounded. |
| 6:21 |
For now ye are nothing; Ye see a terror, and are afraid. |
| 6:22 |
Did I say, Give unto me? Or, offerOffer a present for me of your substance? |
| 6:24 |
Teach me, and I will hold my peace:; And cause me to understand wherein I have erred. |
| 6:25 |
How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what doth yourit arguing reprove? |
| 6:26 |
Do ye imaginethink to reprove words?, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind.? |
| 7:1 |
Is there not a warfare to man upon earth? And are not his days like the days of ana hireling? |
| 7:2 |
As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow, And as ana hireling that looketh for his wages: |
| 7:3 |
So am I made to possess months of vanitymisery, And wearisome nights are appointed to me. |
| 7:4 |
When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise?, butand the night isbe long;gone? And 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; My skin closeth up, and breaketh out afresh. |
| 7:6 |
My days are swifter than a weavers shuttle, And are spent without hope. |
| 7:7 |
Oh remember that my life is winda breath: Mine eye shall no more see good. |
| 7:8 |
The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more:; Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be. |
| 7:16 |
I loathe my life; I would not live alway: Let me alone; for my days are vanity. |
| 7:17 |
What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him, And that thou shouldest set thinethy heartmind upon him, |
| 7:21 |
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; And thou shallwilt seek me diligently, but I shall not be. |
| 8:3 |
Doth God pervert judgementjustice? Or doth the Almighty pervert justicerighteousness? |
| 8:4 |
If thy children have sinned against him, And he havehath delivered them into the hand of their transgression:; |
| 8:6 |
If thou wert pure and upright;: Surely now he would awake for thee, And make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous. |
| 8:7 |
And though thy beginning was small, Yet thy latter end shouldwould greatly increase. |
| 8:8 |
For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out: |
| 8:9 |
For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, Because our days upon earth are a shadow:; |
| 8:17 |
His roots are wrapped about the stone heap, He beholdeth the place of stones. |
| 8:19 |
Behold, this is the joy of his way,; And out of the earth shall others spring. |
| 9:4 |
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered??— |
| 9:5 |
WhichHim that removeth the mountains, and they know it not, When he overturneth them in his anger.; |
| 9:6 |
WhichThat shaketh the earth out of herits place, And the pillars thereof tremble.; |
| 9:7 |
WhichThat commandeth the sun, and it riseth not;, And sealeth up the stars.; |
| 9:8 |
WhichThat alone stretcheth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea.; |
| 9:9 |
WhichThat maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south.; |
| 9:10 |
WhichThat doeth great things past finding out;, Yea, marvelousmarvellous things without number. |
| 9:13 |
God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him. |
| 9:15 |
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to minemy adversaryjudge. |
| 9:16 |
If I had called, and he had answered me;, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice. |
| 9:19 |
If we speak of the strength of the mighty, lo, he is theremighty! And if of judgementjustice, whoWho, saith he, will appointsummon me a time? |
| 9:21 |
I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life. |
| 9:24 |
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked:; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof;: If it be not he, who then is it? |
| 9:26 |
They are passed away as the swift ships:; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey. |
| 9:27 |
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer:; |
| 9:29 |
I shall be condemned; Why then do I labourlabor in vain? |
| 9:32 |
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgementjudgment. |
| 9:33 |
There is no daysmanumpire betwixt us, That might lay his hand upon us both. |
| 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, That thou shouldest despise the work of thinethy hands, And shine upon the counsel of the wicked? |
| 10:4 |
Hast thou eyes of flesh,? Or seest thou as man seeth? |
| 10:7 |
Although thou knowest that I am not wicked;, And there is none that can deliver out of thinethy hand? |
| 10:8 |
ThineThy hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me. |
| 10:12 |
Thou hast granted me life and favour,lovingkindness; And thy visitation hath preserved my spirit. |
| 10:13 |
Yet these things thou didst hide in thinethy heart; I know that this is with thee: |
| 10:15 |
If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction. |
| 10:16 |
And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion:; And again thou shewestshowest thyself marvelousmarvellous upon me. |
| 10:17 |
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine indignation upon me;: Changes and warfare are with me. |
| 10:22 |
AThe land ofdark thickas darknessmidnight, asThe darkness itself; A land of the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as darknessmidnight. |
| 11:5 |
But Ohoh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee;, |
| 11:6 |
And that he would shewshow thee the secrets of wisdom,! ThatFor ithe is manifold in effectualunderstanding. working! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth. |
| 11:10 |
If he pass through, and shut up, And callall unto judgementjudgment, then who can hinder him? |
| 11:11 |
For he knoweth vainfalse men: He seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not. |
| 11:12 |
But vain man is void of understanding, Yea, man is born as a wild asss colt. |
| 11:13 |
If thou set thinethy heart aright, And stretch out thinethy hands toward him; |
| 11:14 |
If iniquity be in thinethy hand, put it far away, And let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents;. |
| 11:16 |
For thou shalt forget thy misery; Thou shalt remember it as waters that are passed away:, |
| 11:20 |
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee,; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost. |
| 12:4 |
I am as one that is a laughing stock to his neighbourneighbor, AI manwho that called upon God, and he answered him: The just, the perfect man is a laughing stock. |
| 12:5 |
In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; It is ready for them whose foot slippeth. |
| 12:7 |
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; And the fowlsbirds of the airheavens, and they shall tell thee: |
| 12:9 |
Who knoweth not in all these, That the hand of LordJehovah hath wrought this?, |
| 12:10 |
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind.? |
| 12:11 |
Doth not the ear try words, Even as the palate tasteth its meatfood? |
| 12:13 |
With himGod is wisdom and might; He hath counsel and understanding. |
| 12:16 |
With him is strength and effectual workingwisdom; The deceived and the deceiver are his. |
| 12:17 |
He leadeth counsellors away spoiledstripped, And judges maketh he fools. |
| 12:18 |
He looseth the bond of kings, And he bindeth their loins with a girdle. |
| 12:19 |
He leadeth priests away spoiledstripped, And overthroweth the mighty. |
| 12:22 |
He discoverethuncovereth deep things out of darkness, And bringeth out to light the shadow of death. |
| 12:23 |
He increaseth the nations, and he destroyeth them: He spreadethenlargeth the nations abroad, and bringethhe leadeth them incaptive. |
| 12:24 |
He taketh away theunderstanding heartfrom of the chiefs of the people of the earth, And causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way. |
| 12:25 |
They grope in the dark without light,; And he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man. |
| 13:4 |
But ye are forgers of lies,; Ye are all physicians of no value. |
| 13:5 |
Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it shouldwould be your wisdom. |
| 13:8 |
Will ye respectshow hispartiality personto him? Will ye contend for God? |
| 13:10 |
He will surely reprove you, If ye do secretly respectshow personspartiality. |
| 13:11 |
Shall not his excellencymajesty make you afraid, And his dread fall upon you? |
| 13:12 |
Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defences are defences of clay. |
| 13:13 |
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak,; And let come on me what wiltwill. |
| 13:14 |
Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in minemy hand? |
| 13:15 |
ThoughBehold, he will slay me,; yet will I waithave forno himhope: Nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him. |
| 13:16 |
This also shall be my salvation;, ForThat a godless man shall not come before him. |
| 13:18 |
Behold now, I have orderedset my cause in order; I know that I am righteous. |
| 13:19 |
Who is he that will contend with me? For nowthen shallwould I hold my peace and give up the ghost. |
| 13:20 |
Only do not two things unto me,; Then will I not hide myself from thy face: |
| 13:21 |
Withdraw thinethy hand far from me; And let not thy terror make me afraid. |
| 13:22 |
Then call thou, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and answer thou me. |
| 13:27 |
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, andAnd markest all my paths; Thou drawestsettest thee a linebound aboutto the soles of my feet: |
| 14:1 |
Man, that is born of a woman, Is of few days, and full of trouble. |
| 14:3 |
And dost thou open thine eyes upon such ana one, And bringest me into judgementjudgment with thee? |
| 14:5 |
Seeing his days are determined, theThe number of his months is with thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass; |
| 14:6 |
Look away from him, that he may rest, Till 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, And that the tender branch thereof will not cease. |
| 14:10 |
But man dieth, and wastethis awaylaid low: Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he? |
| 14:11 |
As the waters fail from the sea, And the river decayethwasteth and drieth up; |
| 14:15 |
Thou shouldestwouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thinethy hands. |
| 14:18 |
AndBut surely the mountain falling cometh to nought,; And the rock is removed out of its place; |
| 14:19 |
The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: AndSo thou destroyest the hope of man. |
| 14:21 |
His sons come to honourhonor, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them. |
| 15:2 |
Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill hishimself belly with the east wind? |
| 15:4 |
Yea, thou doest away with fear, And restrainesthinderest devotion before God. |
| 15:8 |
Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? And dost thou restrainlimit wisdom to thyself? |
| 15:11 |
Are the consolations of God too small for thee, AndEven the word that dealethis gentlygentle withtoward thee? |
| 15:12 |
Why doth thinethy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes wink?flash, |
| 15:13 |
That against God thou turnest thy spirit against God, And lettest such words go out of thy mouth.? |
| 15:14 |
What is man, that he should be clean? And he whichthat is born of a woman, that he should be righteous? |
| 15:15 |
Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones; Yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.: |
| 15:17 |
I will shewshow thee, hear thou me; And that which I have seen I will declare: |
| 15:21 |
A sound of terrors is in his ears; In prosperity the spoilerdestroyer shall come upon him:. |
| 15:22 |
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, And he is waited for of the sword:. |
| 15:23 |
He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand:. |
| 15:24 |
Distress and anguish make him afraid; They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle:. |
| 15:26 |
He runneth upon him with a stiff neck, With the thick bosses of his bucklers:; |
| 15:27 |
Because he hath covered his face with his fatness, And madegathered collops of fat onupon his flanksloins; |
| 15:28 |
And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, In houses which no man inhabited, Which were ready to become heaps.; |
| 15:29 |
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, Neither shall their producepossessions bendbe toextended on the earth. |
| 15:30 |
He shall not depart out of darkness; The flame shall dry up his branches, And by the breath of hisGods mouth shall he go away. |
| 15:31 |
Let him not trust in vanity, deceiving himself:; For vanity shall be his recompencerecompense. |
| 15:33 |
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, And shall cast off his flower as the olive tree. |
| 15:35 |
They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, And their bellyheart prepareth deceit. |
| 16:4 |
I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my souls stead, I could join words together against you, And shake minemy head at you. |
| 16:5 |
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips shouldwould assuage your grief. |
| 16:6 |
Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged:; And though I forbear, what am I eased? |
| 16:8 |
And thou hast laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me: And my leanness riseth up against me, itIt testifieth to my face. |
| 16:13 |
His archers compass me round about,; He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground. |
| 16:16 |
My face is foulred with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death; |
| 16:17 |
Although there is no violence in minemy hands, And my prayer is pure. |
| 16:19 |
Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And he that couchethvoucheth for me is on high. |
| 16:20 |
My friends scornscoff at me: But mine eye poureth out tears unto God;, |
| 16:21 |
That he would maintain the right of a man with God, And of a son of man with his neighbourneighbor! |
| 17:2 |
Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eye abidethdwelleth inupon their provocation. |
| 17:6 |
HeBut he hath made me also a byword of the people; And Ithey amspit becomein anmy open abhorringface. |
| 17:8 |
Upright men shall be astoniedastonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless. |
| 17:9 |
Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger. |
| 17:10 |
But returnas ye,for you all of you, and come on now: again; And I shall not find a wise man among you. |
| 17:11 |
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the droughtsthoughts of my heart. |
| 17:12 |
They change the night into a day: The fightlight, say they, is near unto the darkness. |
| 17:13 |
If I look for Sheol as minemy house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness; |
| 18:2 |
How long will ye layhunt snares for words? Consider, and afterwards we will speak. |
| 18:10 |
A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way. |
| 18:12 |
His strength shall be hunger bitten, And calamity shall be ready forat his haltingside. |
| 18:13 |
ItThe shall devour the members of his body shall be devoured, Yea, the firstbornfirst born of death shall devour his members. |
| 18:20 |
They that come after shall be astoniedastonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted. |
| 19:2 |
How long will ye vex my soul, And break me in pieces with words? |
| 19:5 |
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, And plead against me my reproach:; |
| 19:7 |
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no judgementjustice. |
| 19:8 |
He hath fencedwalled up my way that I cannot pass, And hath set darkness in my paths. |
| 19:10 |
He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone:; And minemy hope hath he plucked up like a tree. |
| 19:12 |
His troops come on together, andAnd cast up their way against me, And encamp round about my tent. |
| 19:15 |
They that dwell in minemy house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. |
| 19:17 |
My breath is strange to my wife, And my supplication to the children of mymine mothersown wombmother. |
| 19:19 |
All my inwardfamiliar friends abhor me:, And they whom I loved are turned against me. |
| 19:25 |
But as for me I know that my redeemerRedeemer liveth, And thatat last he shallwill stand up at the last upon the earth: |
| 19:26 |
And after my skin, hatheven beenthis thusbody, is destroyed, YetThen fromwithout my flesh shall I see God:; |
| 19:27 |
Whom I, even I, shall see, foron myselfmy side, And mine eyes shall behold, and not anotheras a stranger. My reinsheart areis consumed within me. |
| 19:28 |
If ye say, How we will persecute him! SeeingAnd that the root of the matter is found in me; |
| 19:29 |
Be ye afraid of the sword: For wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, That ye may know there is a judgementjudgment. |
| 20:3 |
I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame,; And the spirit of my understanding answereth me. |
| 20:6 |
Though his excellencyheight mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds; |
| 20:7 |
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: They whichthat have seen him shall say, Where is he? |
| 20:9 |
The eye which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place any more behold him. |
| 20:10 |
His children shall seek the favourfavor of the poor, And his hands shall give back his wealth. |
| 20:12 |
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, Though he hide it under his tongue;, |
| 20:14 |
Yet his meatfood in his bowels is turned, It is the gall of asps within him. |
| 20:15 |
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again:; God shallwill cast them out of his belly. |
| 20:18 |
That which he labouredlabored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice. |
| 20:19 |
For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; He hath violently taken away ana house, and he shall not build it up. |
| 20:22 |
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him. |
| 20:23 |
When he is about to fill his belly, God shallwill cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, And shallwill rain it upon him while he is eating. |
| 20:25 |
He draweth it forth, and it cometh out of his body:; Yea, the glittering point cometh out of his gall;: Terrors are upon him. |
| 20:28 |
The increase of his house shall depart,; His goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath. |
| 21:6 |
Even when I remember I am troubled, And horror taketh hold on my flesh. |
| 21:14 |
YetAnd they saidsay unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. |
| 21:16 |
Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand: The counsel of the wicked is far from me. |
| 21:19 |
Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it.: |
| 21:21 |
For what pleasurecareth hath he infor his house after him, When the number of his months is cut off in the midst? |
| 21:22 |
Shall any teach God knowledge?, Seeing he judgeth those that are high.? |
| 21:24 |
His breastspails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened. |
| 21:26 |
They lie down alike in the dust, And the worm covereth them. |
| 21:27 |
Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices whichwherewith ye wrongfullywould imaginewrong against me. |
| 21:29 |
Have ye not asked themwayfaring that go by the waymen? And do ye not know their tokens?evidences, |
| 21:32 |
Yet shall he be borne to the grave, And men shall keep watch over the tomb. |
| 22:4 |
Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgementjudgment? |
| 22:8 |
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honourablehonorable man, he dwelt in it. |
| 22:11 |
Or darkness, so that thou canst not see, And abundance of waters cover thee. |
| 22:14 |
Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh inon the circuitvault of heaven. |
| 22:15 |
Wilt thou keep the old way whichWhich Wickedwicked men have trodden? |
| 22:16 |
Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream:, |
| 22:18 |
Yet he firedfilled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me. |
| 22:19 |
The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn:, |
| 22:20 |
Saying, Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed. |
| 22:22 |
Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, And lay up his words in thinethy heart. |
| 22:23 |
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up;, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents. |
| 22:25 |
And the Almighty shallwill be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee. |
| 22:26 |
For then shalt thou delight thyself 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; And thou shalt pay thy vows. |
| 22:29 |
When they cast thee down, thou shalt say, There is lifting up; And the humble person he shallwill save. |
| 22:30 |
He shallwill deliver even him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thinethy hands. |
| 23:2 |
Even todayto day is my complaint rebellious: My stroke is heavier than my groaning. |
| 23:3 |
Oh that I knew where I might find him,! That I might come even to his seat! |
| 23:4 |
I would orderset my cause in order before him, And fill my mouth with arguments. |
| 23:7 |
There the upright might reason with him; So should I be delivered for ever from my judge. |
| 23:8 |
Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; And backward, but I cannot perceive him:; |
| 23:9 |
On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him:; He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him. |
| 23:12 |
I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food. |
| 23:15 |
Therefore am I troubledterrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him. |
| 23:16 |
For God hath made my heart faint, andAnd the Almighty hath troubledterrified me:; |
| 24:1 |
Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do not they whichthat know him see his days? |
| 24:3 |
They drive away the ass of the fatherless,; They take the widows ox for a pledge. |
| 24:4 |
They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves together. |
| 24:5 |
Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for meatfood; The wilderness yieldeth them foodbread for their children. |
| 24:9 |
There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor:; |
| 24:10 |
So that they go about naked without clothing, And being anhungry hungred they carry the sheaves;. |
| 24:12 |
From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God imputethregardeth it not forthe folly. |
| 24:14 |
The murderer riseth with the light,; heHe killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief. |
| 24:16 |
In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the daytimeday time; They know not the light. |
| 24:17 |
For the morning is to all of them as thethick shadow of deathdarkness; For they know the terrors of the shadowthick of deathdarkness. |
| 24:18 |
HeSwiftly isthey swiftpass away upon the face of the waters; Their portion is cursed in the earth: HeThey turnethturn not byinto the way of the vineyards. |
| 24:19 |
Drought and heat consume the snow waters: So doth Sheol those whichthat have sinned. |
| 24:20 |
The womb shall forget him; The worm shall feed sweetly on him; He shall be no more remembered:; And unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree. |
| 24:21 |
He devoureth the barren that beareth not;, And doeth not good to the widow. |
| 24:22 |
HeYet drawethGod awaypreserveth the mighty also by his power: He riseth up, andthat hath no manassurance is sure of life. |
| 24:24 |
They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone; Yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all otherothers, And are cut off as the tops of the ears of corngrain. |
| 25:6 |
How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, whichthat is a worm! |
| 26:6 |
Sheol is naked before himGod, And Abaddon hath no covering. |
| 26:9 |
He closethincloseth in the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it. |
| 26:13 |
By his spiritSpirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent. |
| 27:2 |
As God liveth, who hath taken away my right;, And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul; |
| 27:5 |
GodFar forbidbe it from me that I should justify you: Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me. |
| 27:6 |
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live. |
| 27:10 |
Will he delight himself in the Almighty, andAnd call upon God at all times? |
| 27:13 |
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty.: |
| 27:19 |
He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers; He openeth his eyes, and he is not. |
| 28:2 |
Iron is taken out of the earth, And brasscopper is molten out of the stone. |
| 28:3 |
Man setteth an end to darkness, And searcheth out, to the furthest bound, The stones of thickobscurity darkness and of thethick shadow of deathdarkness. |
| 28:4 |
He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; They are forgotten of the foot that passeth by; They hang afar from men, they swing to and fro. |
| 28:5 |
As for the earth, out of it cometh bread:; And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire. |
| 28:13 |
Man knoweth not the price thereof; Neither is it found in the land of the living. |
| 28:14 |
The deep saith, It is not in me:; And the sea saith, It is not with me. |
| 28:17 |
Gold and glass cannot equal it:, Neither shall theit exchangebe thereofexchanged befor jewels of fine gold. |
| 28:19 |
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold. |
| 28:21 |
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the fowlsbirds of the airheavens. |
| 28:22 |
Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumourrumor thereof with our ears. |
| 28:25 |
To make a weight for the wind;: Yea, he meteth out the waters by measure. |
| 28:26 |
When he made a decree for the rain, And a way for the lightning of the thunder:; |
| 29:4 |
As I was in the ripeness of my days, When the secretfriendship of God was upon my tent; |
| 29:6 |
When my steps were washed with butter, And the rock poured me out riversstreams of oil! |
| 29:9 |
The princes refrained from talking, And laid their hand on their mouth; |
| 29:13 |
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me:; And I caused the widows heart to sing for joy. |
| 29:17 |
And I brake the jaws of the unrighteous, And plucked the prey out of his teeth. |
| 29:22 |
After my words they spake not again; And my speech droppeddistilled upon them. |
| 29:24 |
If I laughedsmiled on them, when they believedhad itno notconfidence; And the light of my countenance they cast not down. |
| 30:3 |
They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground;, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation. |
| 30:4 |
They pluck salt wort by the bushes; And the roots of the broom are their meatfood. |
| 30:5 |
They are driven forth from the midst of men; They cry after them as after a thief.; |
| 30:6 |
InSo thethat cleftsthey ofdwell thein frightful valleys must they dwell, In holes of the earth and of the rocks. |
| 30:11 |
For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted me,; And they have cast off the bridle before me. |
| 30:14 |
As through a wide breach they come: In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves upon me. |
| 30:15 |
Terrors are turned upon me,; They chase mine honourhonor as the wind; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud. |
| 30:18 |
By theGods great force of my disease is my garment disfigured; It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat. |
| 30:20 |
I cry unto thee, and thou dost not answer me: I stand up, and thou lookestgazest at me. |
| 30:21 |
Thou art turned to be cruel to me:; With the might of thy hand thou persecutest me. |

My bowelsheart boilis troubled, and restresteth not; Days of affliction are come upon me. |
| 31:1 |
I made a covenant with mine eyes; howHow then should I look upon a maidvirgin? |
| 31:2 |
For what is the portion offrom God from above, And the heritage offrom the Almighty from on high? |
| 31:5 |
If I have walked with vanityfalsehood, And my foot hath hasted to deceit; |
| 31:7 |
If my step hath turned out of the way, And minemy heart walked after mine eyes, And if any spot hath cleaved to minemy hands: |
| 31:8 |
Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out. |
| 31:9 |
If minemy heart havehath been enticed unto a woman, And I have laid wait at my neighboursneighbors door:; |
| 31:11 |
For that were ana heinous crime; Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges: |
| 31:13 |
If I didhave despisedespised the cause of my manservantman servant or of my maidservantmaid servant, When they contended with me:; |
| 31:16 |
If I have withheld the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;, |
| 31:17 |
Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof; |
| 31:18 |
Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And Iher have beenI herguided guide from my mothers womb; |
| 31:20 |
If his loins have not blessed me, And if he werehath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep; |
| 31:23 |
For calamity from God wasis a terror to me, And by reason of his excellencymajesty I couldcan do nothing. |
| 31:25 |
If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because minemy hand had gotten much; |
| 31:26 |
If I have beheld the sun when it shined, Or the moon walking in brightness;, |
| 31:28 |
This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:; For I should have lieddenied tothe God that is above. |
| 31:29 |
If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him; |
| 31:30 |
Yea, I sufferedhave not suffered my mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse; |
| 31:31 |
If the men of my tent saidhave not said, Who can find one that hath not been satisfiedfilled with his fleshmeat? |
| 31:32 |
The strangersojourner didhath not lodgelodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller; |
| 31:33 |
If like Adam I have covered my transgressions, By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom;, |
| 31:34 |
Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door— |
| 31:35 |
Oh that I had one to hear me! Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me; And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written! |
| 31:36 |
Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder; I would bind it unto me as a crown.: |
| 31:38 |
If my land crycrieth out against me, And the furrows thereof weep together; |
| 32:2 |
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: Againstagainst Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God. |
| 32:5 |
And when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, 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; Wherefore I held back, and durst not shewshow you mine opinion. |
| 32:9 |
It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand judgementjustice. |
| 32:10 |
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shewshow mine opinion. |
| 32:11 |
Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonsreasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say. |
| 32:14 |
For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches. |
| 32:17 |
I also will answer my part, I also will shewshow mine opinion. |
| 32:19 |
Behold, my bellybreast is as wine which hath no vent; Like new bottleswine skins it is ready to burst. |
| 33:2 |
Behold now, I have opened my mouth,; My tongue hath spoken in my mouth. |
| 33:3 |
My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart:; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely. |
| 33:4 |
The spiritSpirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life. |
| 33:7 |
Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee. |
| 33:8 |
Surely thou hast spoken in minemy hearing, And I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, |
| 33:13 |
Why dost thou strive against him?, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters? |
| 33:18 |
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword. |
| 33:19 |
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones:; |
| 33:20 |
So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty meatfood. |
| 33:23 |
If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To shewshow unto man what 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; He returneth to the days of his youth:. |
| 33:26 |
He prayeth unto God, and he is favourablefavorable unto him;, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness. |
| 33:28 |
He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light. |
| 33:32 |
If thou hast anyanything thing to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee. |
| 34:3 |
For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth meatfood. |
| 34:7 |
What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scorningscoffing like water?, |
| 34:8 |
WhichWho goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, And walketh with wicked men.? |
| 34:9 |
For he hath said, itIt profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God. |
| 34:10 |
Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness;, And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity. |
| 34:11 |
For the work of a man shallwill he render unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways. |
| 34:12 |
Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert judgementjustice. |
| 34:14 |
If he set his heart upon manhimself, If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; |
| 34:15 |
All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust. |
| 34:17 |
Shall even one that hateth rightjustice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is justrighteous and mighty??— |
| 34:18 |
IsHim itthat fitsaith to say to a king, Thou art vile?, Or to nobles, Ye are wicked?; |
| 34:19 |
HowThat much less to him that respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor?; For they all are the work of his hands. |
| 34:22 |
There is no darkness, nor shadowthick of deathgloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. |
| 34:23 |
For he needeth not further to consider a man, That he should go before God in judgementjudgment. |
| 34:27 |
Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard toin any of his ways: |
| 34:29 |
When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? WhetherAlike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man, alike: |
| 34:30 |
That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people. |
| 34:32 |
That which I see not teach thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more? |
| 34:33 |
Shall his recompencerecompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest. |
| 34:37 |
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin,; He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth his words against God. |
| 35:6 |
If thou hast sinned, what doesteffectest thou against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him.? |
| 35:7 |
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thinethy hand? |
| 35:8 |
Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit a son of man. |
| 35:10 |
But none saith, Where is God my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night;, |
| 35:11 |
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the fowlsbirds of heaventhe heavens? |
| 35:13 |
Surely God will not hear vanityan empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it. |
| 36:2 |
Suffer me a little, and I will shewshow thee:; For I have yet somewhat to say on Gods behalf. |
| 36:4 |
For truly my words are not false: One that is perfect in knowledge is with thee. |
| 36:6 |
He preserveth not the life of the wicked:, But giveth to the afflicted their right. |
| 36:9 |
Then he shewethshoweth them their work, And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly. |
| 36:11 |
If they hearken and serve him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, andAnd their years in pleasures. |
| 36:14 |
They die in youth, And their life perisheth among the unclean. |
| 36:15 |
He delivereth the afflicted by histheir affliction, And openeth their ear in oppression. |
| 36:16 |
Yea, he would have ledallured thee away out of distress Into a broad place, where there is no straitness; And that which is set on thy table shouldwould be full of fatness. |
| 36:17 |
But thou art full of the judgementjudgment of the wicked: JudgementJudgment and justice take hold on thee. |
| 36:18 |
BecauseFor therelet isnot wrath, bewarestir lestthee thouup beagainst led away by thy sufficiencychastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside. |
| 36:19 |
Will thy richescry sufficeavail, that thou be not in distress, Or all the forces of thy strength? |
| 36:27 |
For he draweth up the drops of water, Which distil in rain from his vapour:vapor, |
| 36:31 |
For by these he judgeth the peoples; He giveth meatfood in abundance. |
| 36:32 |
He covereth his hands with the lightning;, And giveth it a charge that it strike the mark. |
| 37:1 |
AtYea, at this also my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place. |
| 37:2 |
HearkenHear, yeoh, untohear the noise of his voice, And the sound that goeth out of his mouth. |
| 37:4 |
After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of his majesty:; And he stayethrestraineth them not the lightnings when his voice is heard. |
| 37:5 |
God thundereth marvelouslymarvellously with his voice; Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. |
| 37:7 |
He sealeth up the hand of every man;, That all men whom he hath made may know it. |
| 37:9 |
Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm:, And cold out of the north. |
| 37:10 |
By the breath of God ice is given:; And the breadth of the waters is straitened. |
| 37:12 |
And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world., |
| 37:13 |
