- JOB 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 eschewed evil.
- JOB 1:2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three
- daughters.
- JOB 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 men of the east.
- JOB 1:4 And his sons went and feasted {in their} houses, every
- one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat
- and to drink with them.
- JOB 1:5 And it was so, when the days of {their} feasting were
- gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early
- in the morning, and offered burnt offerings {according} to the
- number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have
- sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
- JOB 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present
- themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
- JOB 1:7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then
- Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the
- earth, and from walking up and down in it.
- JOB 1:8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my
- servant Job, that {there is} none like him in the earth, a
- perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth
- evil?
- JOB 1:9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God
- for nought?
- JOB 1:10 Hast not thou made an 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.
- JOB 1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he
- hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
- JOB 1:12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath
- {is} in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So
- Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
- JOB 1:13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters
- {were} eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
- JOB 1:14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen
- were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
- JOB 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.
- JOB 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.
- JOB 1:17 While he {was} yet speaking, there came also another,
- and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the
- camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants
- with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell
- thee.
- JOB 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 brother's house:
- JOB 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.
- JOB 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his
- head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
- JOB 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and
- naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath
- taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.
- JOB 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
- JOB 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to
- present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among
- them to present himself before the Lord.
- JOB 2:2 And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou?
- And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in
- the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
- JOB 2:3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my
- servant Job, that {there is} none like him in the earth, a
- perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth
- evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou
- movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
- JOB 2:4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin,
- yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
- JOB 2:5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his
- flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
- JOB 2:6 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he {is} in thine
- hand; but save his life.
- JOB 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and
- smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his
- crown.
- JOB 2:8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and
- he sat down among the ashes.
- JOB 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine
- integrity? curse God, and die.
- JOB 2:10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the
- foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand
- of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job
- sin with his lips.
- JOB 2:11 Now when Job's 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: for they had made an appointment together to come to
- mourn with him and to comfort him.
- JOB 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 mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward
- heaven.
- JOB 2:13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and
- seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that
- {his} grief was very great.
- JOB 3:1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
- JOB 3:2 And Job spake, and said,
- JOB 3:3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night {in
- which} it was said, There is a man child conceived.
- JOB 3:4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from
- above, neither let the light shine upon it.
- JOB 3:5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a
- cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
- JOB 3:6 {As for} that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it
- not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the
- number of the months.
- JOB 3:7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come
- therein.
- JOB 3:8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to
- raise up their mourning.
- JOB 3:9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it
- look for light, but {have} none; neither let it see the dawning
- of the day:
- JOB 3:10 Because it shut not up the doors of my {mother's} womb,
- nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
- JOB 3:11 Why died I not from the womb? {why} did I {not} give up
- the Ghost when I came out of the belly?
- JOB 3:12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I
- should suck?
- JOB 3:13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I
- should have slept: then had I been at rest,
- JOB 3:14 With kings and counsellers of the earth, which built
- desolate places for themselves;
- JOB 3:15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses
- with silver:
- JOB 3:16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as
- infants {which} never saw light.
- JOB 3:17 There the wicked cease {from} troubling; and there the
- weary be at rest.
- JOB 3:18 {There} the prisoners rest together; they hear not the
- voice of the oppressor.
- JOB 3:19 The small and great are there; and the servant {is} free
- from his master.
- JOB 3:20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and
- life unto the bitter {in} soul;
- JOB 3:21 Which long for death, but it {cometh} not; and dig for
- it more than for hid treasures;
- JOB 3:22 Which rejoice exceedingly, {and} are glad, when they can
- find the grave?
- JOB 3:23 {Why is light given} to a man whose way is hid, and whom
- God hath hedged in?
- JOB 3:24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are
- poured out like the waters.
- JOB 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me,
- and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
- JOB 3:26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I
- quiet; yet trouble came.
- JOB 4:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
- JOB 4:2 {If} we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved?
- but who can withhold himself from speaking?
- JOB 4:3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast
- strengthened the weak hands.
- JOB 4:4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou
- hast strengthened the feeble knees.
- JOB 4:5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it
- toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
- JOB 4:6 {Is} not {this} thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and
- the uprightness of thy ways?
- JOB 4:7 Remember, I pray thee, who {ever} perished, being
- innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
- JOB 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow
- wickedness, reap the same.
- JOB 4:9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his
- nostrils are they consumed.
- JOB 4:10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce
- lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
- JOB 4:11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout
- lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
- JOB 4:12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear
- received a little thereof.
- JOB 4:13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep
- sleep falleth on men,
- JOB 4:14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my
- bones to shake.
- JOB 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my
- flesh stood up:
- JOB 4:16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form
- thereof: an image {was} before mine eyes, {there was} silence,
- and I heard a voice, {saying},
- JOB 4:17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be
- more pure than his maker?
- JOB 4:18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels
- he charged with folly:
- JOB 4:19 How much less {in} them that dwell in houses of clay,
- whose foundation {is} in the dust, {which} are crushed before the
- moth?
- JOB 4:20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish
- for ever without any regarding {it}.
- JOB 4:21 Doth not their excellency {which is} in them go away?
- they die, even without wisdom.
- JOB 5:1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to
- which of the saints wilt thou turn?
- JOB 5:2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the
- silly one.
- JOB 5:3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I
- cursed his habitation.
- JOB 5:4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in
- the gate, neither {is there} any to deliver {them}.
- JOB 5:5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even
- out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
- JOB 5:6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither
- doth trouble spring out of the ground;
- JOB 5:7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
- JOB 5:8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my
- cause:
- JOB 5:9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous
- things without number:
- JOB 5:10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon
- the fields:
- JOB 5:11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which
- mourn may be exalted to safety.
- JOB 5:12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that
- their hands cannot perform {their} enterprise.
- JOB 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the
- counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
- JOB 5:14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the
- noonday as in the night.
- JOB 5:15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth,
- and from the hand of the mighty.
- JOB 5:16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
- JOB 5:17 Behold, happy {is} the man whom God correcteth:
- therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
- JOB 5:18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his
- hands make whole.
- JOB 5:19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven
- there shall no evil touch thee.
- JOB 5:20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war
- from the power of the sword.
- JOB 5:21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue:
- neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
- JOB 5:22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither
- shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
- JOB 5:23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the
- field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
- JOB 5:24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle {shall be} in
- peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
- JOB 5:25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed {shall be} great, and
- thine offspring as {the} grass of the earth.
- JOB 5:26 Thou shalt come to {thy} grave in a full age, like as a
- shock of corn cometh in in his season.
- JOB 5:27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it {is}; hear it, and
- know thou {it} for thy good.
- JOB 6:1 But Job answered and said,
- JOB 6:2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity
- laid in the balances together!
- JOB 6:3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea:
- therefore my words are swallowed up.
- JOB 6:4 For the arrows of the Almighty {are} within me, the
- poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set
- themselves in array against me.
- JOB 6:5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the
- ox over his fodder?
- JOB 6:6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is
- there {any} taste in the white of an egg?
- JOB 6:7 The things {that} my soul refused to touch {are} as my
- sorrowful meat.
- JOB 6:8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant
- {me} the thing that I long for!
- JOB 6:9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he
- would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
- JOB 6:10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden
- myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the
- words of the Holy One.
- JOB 6:11 What {is} my strength, that I should hope? and what {is}
- mine end, that I should prolong my life?
- JOB 6:12 {Is} my strength the strength of stones? or {is} my
- flesh of brass?
- JOB 6:13 {Is} not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from
- me?
- JOB 6:14 To him that is afflicted pity {should be shewed} from
- his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
- JOB 6:15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, {and} as
- the stream of brooks they pass away;
- JOB 6:16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, {and} wherein
- the snow is hid:
- JOB 6:17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot,
- they are consumed out of their place.
- JOB 6:18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to
- nothing, and perish.
- JOB 6:19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited
- for them.
- JOB 6:20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came
- thither, and were ashamed.
- JOB 6:21 For now ye are nothing; ye see {my} casting down, and
- are afraid.
- JOB 6:22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of
- your substance?
- JOB 6:23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from
- the hand of the mighty?
- JOB 6:24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to
- understand wherein I have erred.
- JOB 6:25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing
- reprove?
- JOB 6:26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one
- that is desperate, {which are} as wind?
- JOB 6:27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig {a pit} for
- your friend.
- JOB 6:28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for {it is}
- evident unto you if I lie.
- JOB 6:29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return
- again, my righteousness {is} in it.
- JOB 6:30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern
- perverse things?
- JOB 7:1 {Is there} not an appointed time to man upon earth? {are
- not} his days also like the days of an hireling?
- JOB 7:2 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an
- hireling looketh for {the reward of} his work:
- JOB 7:3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome
- nights are appointed to me.
- JOB 7:4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night
- be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of
- the day.
- JOB 7:5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin
- is broken, and become loathsome.
- JOB 7:6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are
- spent without hope.
- JOB 7:7 O remember that my life {is} wind: mine eye shall no more
- see good.
- JOB 7:8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no {more}:
- thine eyes {are} upon me, and I {am} not.
- JOB 7:9 {As} the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that
- goeth down to the grave shall come up no {more}.
- JOB 7:10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his
- place know him any more.
- JOB 7:11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in
- the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my
- soul.
- JOB 7:12 {Am} I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over
- me?
- JOB 7:13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease
- my complaint;
- JOB 7:14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me
- through visions:
- JOB 7:15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, {and} death rather
- than my life.
- JOB 7:16 I loathe {it}; I would not live alway: let me alone; for
- my days {are} vanity.
- JOB 7:17 What {is} man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that
- thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
- JOB 7:18 And {that} thou shouldest visit him every morning, {and}
- try him every moment?
- JOB 7:19 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone
- till I swallow down my spittle?
- JOB 7:20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou
- preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so
- that I am a burden to myself?
- JOB 7:21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take
- away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou
- shalt seek me in the morning, but I {shall} not {be}.
- JOB 8:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
- JOB 8:2 How long wilt thou speak these {things}? and {how long
- shall} the words of thy mouth {be like} a strong wind?
- JOB 8:3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert
- justice?
- JOB 8:4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast
- them away for their transgression;
- JOB 8:5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy
- supplication to the Almighty;
- JOB 8:6 If thou {wert} pure and upright; surely now he would
- awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness
- prosperous.
- JOB 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should
- greatly increase.
- JOB 8:8 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare
- thyself to the search of their fathers:
- JOB 8:9 (For we {are but of} yesterday, and know nothing, because
- our days upon earth {are} a shadow:)
- JOB 8:10 Shall not they teach thee, {and} tell thee, and utter
- words out of their heart?
- JOB 8:11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow
- without water?
- JOB 8:12 Whilst it {is} yet in his greenness, {and} not cut down,
- it withereth before any {other} herb.
- JOB 8:13 So {are} the paths of all that forget God; and the
- hypocrite's hope shall perish:
- JOB 8:14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust {shall be}
- a spider's web.
- JOB 8:15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he
- shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
- JOB 8:16 He {is} green before the sun, and his branch shooteth
- forth in his garden.
- JOB 8:17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, {and} seeth the
- place of stones.
- JOB 8:18 If he destroy him from his place, then {it} shall deny
- him, {saying}, I have not seen thee.
- JOB 8:19 Behold, this {is} the joy of his way, and out of the
- earth shall others grow.
- JOB 8:20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect {man}, neither
- will he help the evil doers:
- JOB 8:21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with
- rejoicing.
- JOB 8:22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the
- dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
- JOB 9:1 Then Job answered and said,
- JOB 9:2 I know {it is} so of a truth: but how should man be just
- with God?
- JOB 9:3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of
- a thousand.
- JOB 9:4 {He is} wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath
- hardened {himself} against him, and hath prospered?
- JOB 9:5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which
- overturneth them in his anger.
- JOB 9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars
- thereof tremble.
- JOB 9:7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth
- up the stars.
- JOB 9:8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon
- the waves of the sea.
- JOB 9:9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the
- chambers of the south.
- JOB 9:10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and
- wonders without number.
- JOB 9:11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see {him} not: he passeth on
- also, but I perceive him not.
- JOB 9:12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say
- unto him, What doest thou?
- JOB 9:13 {If} God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers
- do stoop under him.
- JOB 9:14 How much less shall I answer him, {and} choose out my
- words {to reason} with him?
- JOB 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, {yet} would I not answer,
- {but} I would make supplication to my judge.
- JOB 9:16 If I had called, and he had answered me; {yet} would I
- not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
- JOB 9:17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my
- wounds without cause.
- JOB 9:18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me
- with bitterness.
- JOB 9:19 If {I speak} of strength, lo, {he is} strong: and if of
- judgment, who shall set me a time {to plead}?
- JOB 9:20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me:
- {if I say}, I {am} perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
- JOB 9:21 {Though} I {were} perfect, {yet} would I not know my
- soul: I would despise my life.
- JOB 9:22 This {is} one {thing}, therefore I said {it}, He
- destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
- JOB 9:23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial
- of the innocent.
- JOB 9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he
- covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, {and}
- who {is} he?
- JOB 9:25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away,
- they see no good.
- JOB 9:26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle
- {that} hasteth to the prey.
- JOB 9:27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off
- my heaviness, and comfort {myself}:
- JOB 9:28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not
- hold me innocent.
- JOB 9:29 {If} I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
- JOB 9:30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands
- never so clean;
- JOB 9:31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own
- clothes shall abhor me.
- JOB 9:32 For {he is} not a man, as I {am, that} I should answer
- him, {and} we should come together in judgment.
- JOB 9:33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, {that} might
- lay his hand upon us both.
- JOB 9:34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear
- terrify me:
- JOB 9:35 {Then} would I speak, and not fear him; but {it is} not
- so with me.
- JOB 10:1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint
- upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
- JOB 10:2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me
- wherefore thou contendest with me.
- JOB 10:3 {Is it} good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that
- thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon
- the counsel of the wicked?
- JOB 10:4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
- JOB 10:5 {Are} thy days as the days of man? {are} thy years as
- man's days,
- JOB 10:6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest
- after my sin?
- JOB 10:7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and {there is} none
- that can deliver out of thine hand.
- JOB 10:8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round
- about; yet thou dost destroy me.
- JOB 10:9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the
- clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
- JOB 10:10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me
- like cheese?
- JOB 10:11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast
- fenced me with bones and sinews.
- JOB 10:12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy
- visitation hath preserved my spirit.
- JOB 10:13 And these {things} hast thou hid in thine heart: I know
- that this {is} with thee.
- JOB 10:14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not
- acquit me from mine iniquity.
- JOB 10:15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and {if} I be righteous,
- {yet} will I not lift up my head. {I am} full of confusion;
- therefore see thou mine affliction;
- JOB 10:16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion:
- and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
- JOB 10:17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest
- thine indignation upon me; changes and war {are} against me.
- JOB 10:18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the
- womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
- JOB 10:19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should
- have been carried from the womb to the grave.
- JOB 10:20 {Are} not my days few? cease {then, and} let me alone,
- that I may take comfort a little,
- JOB 10:21 Before I go {whence} I shall not return, {even} to the
- land of darkness and the shadow of death;
- JOB 10:22 A land of darkness, as darkness {itself; and} of the
- shadow of death, without any order, and {where} the light {is} as
- darkness.
- JOB 11:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
- JOB 11:2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and
- should a man full of talk be justified?
- JOB 11:3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou
- mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
- JOB 11:4 For thou hast said, My doctrine {is} pure, and I am
- clean in thine eyes.
- JOB 11:5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against
- thee;
- JOB 11:6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that
- {they are} double to that which is! know therefore that God
- exacteth of thee {less} than thine iniquity {deserveth}.
- JOB 11:7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find
- out the Almighty unto perfection?
- JOB 11:8 {It is} as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper
- than hell; what canst thou know?
- JOB 11:9 The measure thereof {is} longer than the earth, and
- broader than the sea.
- JOB 11:10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then
- who can hinder him?
- JOB 11:11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will
- he not then consider {it}?
- JOB 11:12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born {like} a
- wild ass's colt.
- JOB 11:13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine
- hands toward him;
- JOB 11:14 If iniquity {be} in thine hand, put it far away, and
- let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
- JOB 11:15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea,
- thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
- JOB 11:16 Because thou shalt forget {thy} misery, {and} remember
- {it} as waters {that} pass away:
- JOB 11:17 And {thine} age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou
- shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
- JOB 11:18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea,
- thou shalt dig {about thee, and} thou shalt take thy rest in
- safety.
- JOB 11:19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make {thee}
- afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
- JOB 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall
- not escape, and their hope {shall be as} the giving up of the
- ghost.
- JOB 12:1 And Job answered and said,
- JOB 12:2 No doubt but ye {are} the people, and wisdom shall die
- with you.
- JOB 12:3 But I have understanding as well as you; I {am} not
- inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
- JOB 12:4 I am {as} one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon
- God, and he answereth him: the just upright {man is} laughed to
- scorn.
- JOB 12:5 He that is ready to slip with {his} feet {is as} a lamp
- despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
- JOB 12:6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that
- provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth
- {abundantly}.
- JOB 12:7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and
- the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
- JOB 12:8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the
- fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
- JOB 12:9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord
- hath wrought this?
- JOB 12:10 In whose hand {is} the soul of every living thing, and
- the breath of all mankind.
- JOB 12:11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his
- meat?
- JOB 12:12 With the ancient {is} wisdom; and in length of days
- understanding.
- JOB 12:13 With him {is} wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and
- understanding.
- JOB 12:14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again:
- he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
- JOB 12:15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up:
- also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
- JOB 12:16 With him {is} strength and wisdom: the deceived and the
- deceiver {are} his.
- JOB 12:17 He leadeth counsellers away spoiled, and maketh the
- judges fools.
- JOB 12:18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins
- with a girdle.
- JOB 12:19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the
- mighty.
- JOB 12:20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh
- away the understanding of the aged.
- JOB 12:21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the
- strength of the mighty.
- JOB 12:22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and
- bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
- JOB 12:23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he
- enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them {again}.
- JOB 12:24 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of
- the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness {where
- there is} no way.
- JOB 12:25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh
- them to stagger like {a} drunken {man}.
- JOB 13:1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all {this}, mine ear hath heard
- and understood it.
- JOB 13:2 What ye know, {the same} do I know also: I {am} not
- inferior unto you.
- JOB 13:3 Surely I would speak to the almighty, and I desire to
- reason with God.
- JOB 13:4 But ye {are} forgers of lies, ye {are} all physicians of
- no value.
- JOB 13:5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it
- should be your wisdom.
- JOB 13:6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of
- my lips.
- JOB 13:7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for
- him?
- JOB 13:8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
- JOB 13:9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man
- mocketh another, do ye {so} mock him?
- JOB 13:10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept
- persons.
- JOB 13:11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread
- fall upon you?
- JOB 13:12 Your remembrances {are} like unto ashes, your bodies to
- bodies of clay.
- JOB 13:13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and
- let come on me what {will}.
- JOB 13:14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my
- life in mine hand?
- JOB 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will
- maintain mine own ways before him.
- JOB 13:16 He also {shall be} my salvation: for an hypocrite shall
- not come before him.
- JOB 13:17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your
- ears.
- JOB 13:18 Behold now, I have ordered {my} cause; I know that I
- shall be justified.
- JOB 13:19 Who {is} he {that} will plead with me? for now, if I
- hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
- JOB 13:20 Only do not two {things} unto me: then will I not hide
- myself from thee.
- JOB 13:21 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread
- make me afraid.
- JOB 13:22 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and
- answer thou me.
- JOB 13:23 How many {are} mine iniquities and sins? make me to
- know my transgression and my sin.
- JOB 13:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for
- thine enemy?
- JOB 13:25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou
- pursue the dry stubble?
- JOB 13:26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest
- me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
- JOB 13:27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest
- narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels
- of my feet.
- JOB 13:28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that
- is moth eaten.
- JOB 14:1 Man {that is} born of a woman {is} of few days and full
- of trouble.
- JOB 14:2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he
- fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
- JOB 14:3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and
- bringest me into judgment with thee?
- JOB 14:4 Who can bring a clean {thing} out of an unclean? not
- one.
- JOB 14:5 Seeing his days {are} determined, the number of his
- months {are} with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he
- cannot pass;
- JOB 14:6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall
- accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
- JOB 14:7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it
- will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not
- cease.
- JOB 14:8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the
- stock thereof die in the ground;
- JOB 14:9 {Yet} through the scent of water it will bud, and bring
- forth boughs like a plant.
- JOB 14:10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the
- Ghost, and where {is} he?
- JOB 14:11 {As} the waters fail from the sea, and the flood
- decayeth and drieth up:
- JOB 14:12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens
- {be} no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their
- sleep.
- JOB 14:13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou
- wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou
- wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
- JOB 14:14 If a man die, shall he live {again}? all the days of my
- appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
- JOB 14:15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have
- a desire to the work of thine hands.
- JOB 14:16 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch
- over my sin?
- JOB 14:17 My transgression {is} sealed up in a bag, and thou
- sewest up mine iniquity.
- JOB 14:18 And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and
- the rock is removed out of his place.
- JOB 14:19 The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the
- things which grow {out} of the dust of the earth; and thou
- destroyest the hope of man.
- JOB 14:20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth:
- thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
- JOB 14:21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth {it} not; and
- they are brought low, but he perceiveth {it} not of them.
- JOB 14:22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul
- within him shall mourn.
- JOB 15:1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
- JOB 15:2 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his
- belly with the east wind?
- JOB 15:3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with
- speeches wherewith he can do no good?
- JOB 15:4 Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer
- before God.
- JOB 15:5 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest
- the tongue of the crafty.
- JOB 15:6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine
- own lips testify against thee.
- JOB 15:7 {Art} thou the first man {that} was born? or wast thou
- made before the hills?
- JOB 15:8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou
- restrain wisdom to thyself?
- JOB 15:9 What knowest thou, that we know not? {what}
- understandest thou, which {is} not in us?
- JOB 15:10 With us {are} both the grayheaded and very aged men,
- much elder than thy father.
- JOB 15:11 {Are} the consolations of God small with thee? is there
- any secret thing with thee?
- JOB 15:12 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy
- eyes wink at,
- JOB 15:13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest
- {such} words go out of thy mouth?
- JOB 15:14 What {is} man, that he should be clean? and {he which
- is} born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
- JOB 15:15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the
- heavens are not clean in his sight.
- JOB 15:16 How much more abominable and filthy {is} man, which
- drinketh iniquity like water?
- JOB 15:17 I will shew thee, hear me; and that {which} I have seen
- I will declare;
- JOB 15:18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have
- not hid {it}:
- JOB 15:19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger
- passed among them.
- JOB 15:20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all {his} days, and
- the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
- JOB 15:21 A dreadful sound {is} in his ears: in prosperity the
- destroyer shall come upon him.
- JOB 15:22 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness,
- and he is waited for of the sword.
- JOB 15:23 He wandereth abroad for bread, {saying}, Where {is it}?
- he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
- JOB 15:24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall
- prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
- JOB 15:25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and
- strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
- JOB 15:26 He Runneth upon him, {even} on {his} neck, upon the
- thick bosses of his bucklers:
- JOB 15:27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and
- maketh collops of fat on {his} flanks.
- JOB 15:28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, {and} in houses
- which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
- JOB 15:29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance
- continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon
- the earth.
- JOB 15:30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall
- dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go
- away.
- JOB 15:31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for
- vanity shall be his recompence.
- JOB 15:32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his
- branch shall not be green.
- JOB 15:33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and
- shall cast off his flower as the olive.
- JOB 15:34 For the congregation of hypocrites {shall be} desolate,
- and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
- JOB 15:35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and
- their belly prepareth deceit.
- JOB 16:1 Then Job answered and said,
- JOB 16:2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters
- {are} ye all.
- JOB 16:3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee
- that thou answerest?
- JOB 16:4 I also could speak as ye {do}: if your soul were in my
- soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine
- head at you.
- JOB 16:5 {But} I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the
- moving of my lips should asswage {your grief}.
- JOB 16:6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and {though} I
- forbear, what am I eased?
- JOB 16:7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate
- all my company.
- JOB 16:8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, {which} is a
- witness {against me}: and my leanness rising up in me beareth
- witness to my face.
- JOB 16:9 He teareth {me} in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth
- upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
- JOB 16:10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have
- smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered
- themselves together against me.
- JOB 16:11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me
- over into the hands of the wicked.
- JOB 16:12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath
- also taken {me} by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me
- up for his mark.
- JOB 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.
- JOB 16:14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon
- me like a giant.
- JOB 16:15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my
- horn in the dust.
- JOB 16:16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids {is}
- the shadow of death;
- JOB 16:17 Not for {any} injustice in mine hands: also my prayer
- {is} pure.
- JOB 16:18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have
- no place.
- JOB 16:19 Also now, behold, my witness {is} in heaven, and my
- record {is} on high.
- JOB 16:20 My friends scorn me: {but} mine eye poureth out {tears}
- unto God.
- JOB 16:21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man
- {pleadeth} for his neighbour!
- JOB 16:22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way
- {whence} I shall not return.
- JOB 17:1 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves
- {are ready} for me.
- JOB 17:2 {Are there} not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye
- continue in their provocation?
- JOB 17:3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who {is} he
- {that} will strike hands with me?
- JOB 17:4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding:
- therefore shalt thou not exalt {them}.
- JOB 17:5 He that speaketh flattery to {his} friends, even the
- eyes of his children shall fail.
- JOB 17:6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and
- aforetime I was as a tabret.
- JOB 17:7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my
- members {are} as a shadow.
- JOB 17:8 Upright {men} shall be astonied at this, and the
- innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
- JOB 17:9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that
- hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
- JOB 17:10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I
- cannot find {one} wise {man} among you.
- JOB 17:11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, {even}
- the thoughts of my heart.
- JOB 17:12 They change the night into day: the light {is} short
- because of darkness.
- JOB 17:13 If I wait, the grave {is} mine house: I have made my
- bed in the darkness.
- JOB 17:14 I have said to corruption, Thou {art} my father: to the
- worm, {Thou art} my mother, and my sister.
- JOB 17:15 And where {is} now my hope? as for my hope, who shall
- see it?
- JOB 17:16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when {our}
- rest together {is} in the dust.
- JOB 18:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
- JOB 18:2 How long {will it be ere} ye make an end of words? mark,
- and afterwards we will speak.
- JOB 18:3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, {and} reputed vile
- in your sight?
- JOB 18:4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be
- forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his
- place?
- JOB 18:5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the
- spark of his fire shall not shine.
- JOB 18:6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his
- candle shall be put out with him.
- JOB 18:7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his
- own counsel shall cast him down.
- JOB 18:8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he
- walketh upon a snare.
- JOB 18:9 The gin shall take {him} by the heel, {and} the robber
- shall prevail against him.
- JOB 18:10 The snare {is} laid for him in the ground, and a trap
- for him in the way.
- JOB 18:11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall
- drive him to his feet.
- JOB 18:12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction
- {shall be} ready at his side.
- JOB 18:13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: {even} the
- firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
- JOB 18:14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle,
- and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
- JOB 18:15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because {it is} none
- of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
- JOB 18:16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall
- his branch be cut off.
- JOB 18:17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he
- shall have no name in the street.
- JOB 18:18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased
- out of the world.
- JOB 18:19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people,
- nor any remaining in his dwellings.
- JOB 18:20 They that come after {him} shall be astonied at his
- day, as they that went before were affrighted.
- JOB 18:21 Surely such {are} the dwellings of the wicked, and this
- {is} the place {of him that} knoweth not God.
- JOB 19:1 Then Job answered and said,
- JOB 19:2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces
- with words?
- JOB 19:3 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not
- ashamed {that} ye make yourselves strange to me.
- JOB 19:4 And be it indeed {that} I have erred, mine error
- remaineth with myself.
- JOB 19:5 If indeed ye will magnify {yourselves} against me, and
- plead against me my reproach:
- JOB 19:6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed
- me with his net.
- JOB 19:7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry
- aloud, but {there is} no judgment.
- JOB 19:8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath
- set darkness in my paths.
- JOB 19:9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown
- {from} my head.
- JOB 19:10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and
- mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
- JOB 19:11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he
- counteth me unto him as {one of} his enemies.
- JOB 19:12 His troops come together, and raise up their way
- against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
- JOB 19:13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine
- acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
- JOB 19:14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have
- forgotten me.
- JOB 19:15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me
- for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
- JOB 19:16 I called my servant, and he gave {me} no answer; I
- intreated him with my mouth.
- JOB 19:17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for
- the children's {sake} of mine own body.
- JOB 19:18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they
- spake against me.
- JOB 19:19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I
- loved are turned against me.
- JOB 19:20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am
- escaped with the skin of my teeth.
- JOB 19:21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends;
- for the hand of God hath touched me.
- JOB 19:22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied
- with my flesh?
- JOB 19:23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were
- printed in a book!
- JOB 19:24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the
- rock for ever!
- JOB 19:25 For I know {that} my redeemer liveth, and {that} he
- shall stand at the latter {day} upon the earth:
- JOB 19:26 And {though} after my skin {worms} destroy this {body},
- yet in my flesh shall I see God:
- JOB 19:27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall
- behold, and not another; {though} my reins be consumed within me.
- JOB 19:28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the
- root of the matter is found in me?
- JOB 19:29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath {bringeth} the
- punishments of the sword, that ye may know {there is} a judgment.
- JOB 20:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
- JOB 20:2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for
- {this} I make haste.
- JOB 20:3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of
- my understanding causeth me to answer.
- JOB 20:4 Knowest thou {not} this of old, since man was placed
- upon earth,
- JOB 20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked {is} short, and the
- joy of the hypocrite {but} for a moment?
- JOB 20:6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his
- head reach unto the clouds;
- JOB 20:7 {Yet} he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they
- which have seen him shall say, Where {is} he?
- JOB 20:8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found:
- yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
- JOB 20:9 The eye also {which} saw him shall {see him} no more;
- neither shall his place any more behold him.
- JOB 20:10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his
- hands shall restore their goods.
- JOB 20:11 His bones are full {of the sin} of his youth, which
- shall lie down with him in the dust.
- JOB 20:12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, {though} he
- hide it under his tongue;
- JOB 20:13 {Though} he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it
- still within his mouth:
- JOB 20:14 {Yet} his meat in his bowels is turned, {it is} the
- gall of asps within him.
- JOB 20:15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them
- up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
- JOB 20:16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue
- shall slay him.
- JOB 20:17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of
- honey and butter.
- JOB 20:18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall
- not swallow {it} down: according to {his} substance {shall} the
- restitution {be}, and he shall not rejoice {therein}.
- JOB 20:19 Because he hath oppressed {and} hath forsaken the poor;
- {because} he hath violently taken away an house which he builded
- not;
- JOB 20:20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he
- shall not save of that which he desired.
- JOB 20:21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall
- no man look for his goods.
- JOB 20:22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in
- straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
- JOB 20:23 {When} he is about to fill his belly, {God} shall cast
- the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain {it} upon him
- while he is eating.
- JOB 20:24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, {and} the bow of
- steel shall strike him through.
- JOB 20:25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the
- glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors {are} upon him.
- JOB 20:26 All darkness {shall be} hid in his secret places: a
- fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that
- is left in his tabernacle.
- JOB 20:27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth
- shall rise up against him.
- JOB 20:28 The increase of his house shall depart, {and his goods}
- shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
- JOB 20:29 This {is} the portion of a wicked man from God, and the
- heritage appointed unto him by God.
- JOB 21:1 But Job answered and said,
- JOB 21:2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your
- consolations.
- JOB 21:3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have
- spoken, mock on.
- JOB 21:4 As for me, {is} my complaint to man? and if {it were
- so}, why should not my spirit be troubled?
- JOB 21:5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay {your} hand upon
- {your} mouth.
- JOB 21:6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh
- hold on my flesh.
- JOB 21:7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are
- mighty in power?
- JOB 21:8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and
- their offspring before their eyes.
- JOB 21:9 Their houses {are} safe from fear, neither {is} the rod
- of God upon them.
- JOB 21:10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow
- calveth, and casteth not her calf.
- JOB 21:11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and
- their children dance.
- JOB 21:12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the
- sound of the organ.
- JOB 21:13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go
- down to the grave.
- JOB 21:14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we
- desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
- JOB 21:15 What {is} the Almighty, that we should serve him? and
- what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
- JOB 21:16 Lo, their good {is} not in their hand: the counsel of
- the wicked is far from me.
- JOB 21:17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and {how
- oft} cometh their destruction upon them! {God} distributeth
- sorrows in his anger.
- JOB 21:18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that
- the storm carrieth away.
- JOB 21:19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he
- rewardeth him, and he shall know {it}.
- JOB 21:20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink
- of the wrath of the almighty.
- JOB 21:21 For what pleasure {hath} he in his house after him,
- when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
- JOB 21:22 Shall {any} teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth
- those that are high.
- JOB 21:23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease
- and quiet.
- JOB 21:24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are
- moistened with marrow.
- JOB 21:25 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and
- never eateth with pleasure.
- JOB 21:26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms
- shall cover them.
- JOB 21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices {which}
- ye wrongfully imagine against me.
- JOB 21:28 For ye say, Where {is} the house of the prince? and
- where {are} the dwelling places of the wicked?
- JOB 21:29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye
- not know their tokens,
- JOB 21:30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?
- they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
- JOB 21:31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall
- repay him {what} he hath done?
- JOB 21:32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain
- in the tomb.
- JOB 21:33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and
- every man shall draw after him, as {there are} innumerable before
- him.
- JOB 21:34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers
- there remaineth falsehood?
- JOB 22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
- JOB 22:2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may
- be profitable unto himself?
- JOB 22:3 {Is it} any pleasure to the almighty, that thou art
- righteous? or {is it} gain {to him}, that thou makest thy ways
- perfect?
- JOB 22:4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter
- with thee into judgment?
- JOB 22:5 {Is} not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities
- infinite?
- JOB 22:6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for
- nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
- JOB 22:7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and
- thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
- JOB 22:8 But {as for} the mighty man, he had the earth; and the
- honourable man dwelt in it.
- JOB 22:9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the
- fatherless have been broken.
- JOB 22:10 Therefore snares {are} round about thee, and sudden
- fear troubleth thee;
- JOB 22:11 Or darkness, {that} thou canst not see; and abundance
- of waters cover thee.
- JOB 22:12 {Is} not God in the height of heaven? and behold the
- height of the stars, how high they are!
- JOB 22:13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge
- through the dark cloud?
- JOB 22:14 Thick clouds {are} a covering to him, that he seeth
- not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
- JOB 22:15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have
- trodden?
- JOB 22:16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was
- overflown with a flood:
- JOB 22:17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the
- Almighty do for them?
- JOB 22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good {things}: but the
- counsel of the wicked is far from me.
- JOB 22:19 The righteous see {it}, and are glad: and the innocent
- laugh them to scorn.
- JOB 22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant
- of them the fire consumeth.
- JOB 22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby
- good shall come unto thee.
- JOB 22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay
- up his words in thine heart.
- JOB 22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,
- thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
- JOB 22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the {gold} of
- Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
- JOB 22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt
- have plenty of silver.
- JOB 22:26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty,
- and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
- JOB 22:27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear
- thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
- JOB 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be
- established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
- JOB 22:29 When {men} are cast down, then thou shalt say, {There
- Is} lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
- JOB 22:30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is
- delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
- JOB 23:1 Then Job answered and said,
- JOB 23:2 Even to day {is} my complaint bitter: my stroke is
- heavier than my groaning.
- JOB 23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! {that} I might
- come {even} to his seat!
- JOB 23:4 I would order {my} cause before him, and fill my mouth
- with arguments.
- JOB 23:5 I would know the words {which} he would answer me, and
- understand what he would say unto me.
- JOB 23:6 Will he plead against me with {his} great power? No; but
- he would put {strength} in me.
- JOB 23:7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I
- be delivered for ever from my judge.
- JOB 23:8 Behold, I go forward, but he {is} not {there}; and
- backward, but I cannot perceive him:
- JOB 23:9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot
- behold {him}: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot
- see {him}:
- JOB 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: {when} he hath
- tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
- JOB 23:11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and
- not declined.
- JOB 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his
- lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my
- necessary {food}.
- JOB 23:13 But he {is} in one {mind}, and who can turn him? and
- {what} his soul desireth, even {that} he doeth.
- JOB 23:14 For he performeth {the thing} that {is} appointed for
- me: and many such {things are} with him.
- JOB 23:15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I
- consider, I am afraid of him.
- JOB 23:16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the almighty
- troubleth me:
- JOB 23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness,
- {neither} hath he covered the darkness from my face.
- JOB 24:1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do
- they that know him not see his days?
- JOB 24:2 {Some} remove the landmarks; they violently take away
- flocks, and feed {thereof}.
- JOB 24:3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the
- widow's ox for a pledge.
- JOB 24:4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the
- earth hide themselves together.
- JOB 24:5 Behold, {as} wild asses in the desert, go they forth to
- their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness {yieldeth}
- food for them {and} for {their} children.
- JOB 24:6 They reap {every one} his corn in the field: and they
- gather the vintage of the wicked.
- JOB 24:7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that
- {they have} no covering in the cold.
- JOB 24:8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and
- embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
- JOB 24:9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a
- pledge of the poor.
- JOB 24:10 They cause {him} to go naked without clothing, and they
- take away the sheaf {from} the hungry;
- JOB 24:11 {Which} make oil within their walls, {and} tread
- {their} winepresses, and suffer thirst.
- JOB 24:12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the
- wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly {to them}.
- JOB 24:13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they
- know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
- JOB 24:14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and
- needy, and in the night is as a thief.
- JOB 24:15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,
- saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth {his} face.
- JOB 24:16 In the dark they dig through houses, {which} they had
- marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
- JOB 24:17 For the morning {is} to them even as the shadow of
- death: if {one} know {them, they are in} the terrors of the
- shadow of death.
- JOB 24:18 He {is} swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in
- the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
- JOB 24:19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: {so doth} the
- grave {those which} have sinned.
- JOB 24:20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly
- on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be
- broken as a tree.
- JOB 24:21 He evil entreateth the barren {that} beareth not: and
- doeth not good to the widow.
- JOB 24:22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth
- up, and no {man} is sure of life.
- JOB 24:23 {Though} it be given him {to be} in safety, whereon he
- resteth; yet his eyes {are} upon their ways.
- JOB 24:24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and
- brought low; they are taken out of the way as all {other}, and
- cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
- JOB 24:25 And if {it be} not so now, who will make me a liar, and
- make my speech nothing worth?
- JOB 25:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
- JOB 25:2 Dominion and fear {are} with him, he maketh peace in his
- high places.
- JOB 25:3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth
- not his light arise?
- JOB 25:4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be
- clean {that is} born of a woman?
- JOB 25:5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the
- stars are not pure in his sight.
- JOB 25:6 How much less man, {that is} a worm? and the son of man,
- {which is} a worm?
- JOB 26:1 But Job answered and said,
- JOB 26:2 How hast thou helped {him that is} without power? {how}
- savest thou the arm {that hath} no strength?
- JOB 26:3 How hast thou counselled {him that hath} no wisdom? and
- {how} hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
- JOB 26:4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came
- from thee?
- JOB 26:5 Dead {things} are formed from under the waters, and the
- inhabitants thereof.
- JOB 26:6 Hell {is} naked before him, and destruction hath no
- covering.
- JOB 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, {and}
- hangeth the earth upon nothing.
- JOB 26:8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the
- cloud is not rent under them.
- JOB 26:9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, {and} spreadeth
- his cloud upon it.
- JOB 26:10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day
- and night come to an end.
- JOB 26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his
- reproof.
- JOB 26:12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his
- understanding he smiteth through the proud.
- JOB 26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand
- hath formed the crooked serpent.
- JOB 26:14 Lo, these {are} parts of his ways: but how little a
- portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can
- understand?
- JOB 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
- JOB 27:2 {As} God liveth, {who} hath taken away my judgment; and
- the Almighty, {who} hath vexed my soul;
- JOB 27:3 All the while my breath {is} in me, and the spirit of
- God {is} in my nostrils;
- JOB 27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter
- deceit.
- JOB 27:5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will
- not remove mine integrity from me.
- JOB 27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my
- heart shall not reproach {me} so long as I live.
- JOB 27:7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up
- against me as the unrighteous.
- JOB 27:8 For what {is} the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath
- gained, when God taketh away his soul?
- JOB 27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
- JOB 27:10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always
- call upon God?
- JOB 27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God: {that} which {is}
- with the Almighty will I not conceal.
- JOB 27:12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen {it}; why then are
- ye thus altogether vain?
- JOB 27:13 This {is} the portion of a wicked man with God, and the
- heritage of oppressors, {which} they shall receive of the
- Almighty.
- JOB 27:14 If his children be multiplied, {it is} for the sword:
- and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
- JOB 27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and
- his widows shall not weep.
- JOB 27:16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare
- raiment as the clay;
- JOB 27:17 He may prepare {it}, but the just shall put {it} on,
- and the innocent shall divide the silver.
- JOB 27:18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth {that}
- the keeper maketh.
- JOB 27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be
- gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he {is} not.
- JOB 27:20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth
- him away in the night.
- JOB 27:21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and
- as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
- JOB 27:22 For {God} shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would
- fain flee out of his hand.
- JOB 27:23 {Men} shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him
- out of his place.
- JOB 28:1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for
- gold {where} they fine {it}.
- JOB 28:2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass {is} molten
- {out of} the stone.
- JOB 28:3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all
- perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
- JOB 28:4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; {even the
- waters} forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone
- away from men.
- JOB 28:5 {As for} the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it
- is turned up as it were fire.
- JOB 28:6 The stones of it {are} the place of sapphires: and it
- hath dust of gold.
- JOB 28:7 {There is} a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the
- vulture's eye hath not seen:
- JOB 28:8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce
- lion passed by it.
- JOB 28:9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth
- the mountains by the roots.
- JOB 28:10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye
- seeth every precious thing.
- JOB 28:11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and {the thing
- that} is hid bringeth he forth to light.
- JOB 28:12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where {is} the
- place of understanding?
- JOB 28:13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found
- in the land of the living.
- JOB 28:14 The depth saith, It {is} not in me: and the sea saith,
- {It is} not with me.
- JOB 28:15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be
- weighed {for} the price thereof.
- JOB 28:16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the
- precious onyx, or the sapphire.
- JOB 28:17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the
- exchange of it {shall not be for} jewels of fine gold.
- JOB 28:18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for
- the price of wisdom {is} above rubies.
- JOB 28:19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall
- it be valued with pure gold.
- JOB 28:20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where {is} the place of
- understanding?
- JOB 28:21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept
- close from the fowls of the air.
- JOB 28:22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame
- thereof with our ears.
- JOB 28:23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the
- place thereof.
- JOB 28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, {and} seeth
- under the whole heaven;
- JOB 28:25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the
- waters by measure.
- JOB 28:26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the
- lightning of the thunder:
- JOB 28:27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it,
- yea, and searched it out.
- JOB 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord,
- that {is} wisdom; and to depart from evil {is} understanding.
- JOB 29:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
- JOB 29:2 Oh that I were as {in} months past, as {in} the days
- {when} God preserved me;
- JOB 29:3 When his candle shined upon my head, {and when} by his
- light I walked {through} darkness;
- JOB 29:4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God
- {was} upon my tabernacle;
- JOB 29:5 When the Almighty {was} yet with me, {when} my children
- {were} about me;
- JOB 29:6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured
- me out rivers of oil;
- JOB 29:7 When I went out to the gate through the city, {when} I
- prepared my seat in the street!
- JOB 29:8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged
- arose, {and} stood up.
- JOB 29:9 The princes refrained talking, and laid {their} hand on
- their mouth.
- JOB 29:10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved
- to the roof of their mouth.
- JOB 29:11 When the ear heard {me}, then it blessed me; and when
- the eye saw {me}, it gave witness to me:
- JOB 29:12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the
- fatherless, and {him that had} none to help him.
- JOB 29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon
- me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
- JOB 29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment
- {was} as a robe and a diadem.
- JOB 29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet {was} I to the Lame.
- JOB 29:16 I {was} a father to the poor: and the cause {which} I
- knew not I searched out.
- JOB 29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the
- spoil out of his teeth.
- JOB 29:18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall
- multiply {my} days as the sand.
- JOB 29:19 My root {was} spread out by the waters, and the dew lay
- all night upon my branch.
- JOB 29:20 My glory {was} Fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in
- my hand.
- JOB 29:21 Unto me {men} gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at
- my counsel.
- JOB 29:22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech
- dropped upon them.
- JOB 29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened
- their mouth wide {as} for the latter rain.
- JOB 29:24 {If} I laughed on them, they believed {it} not; and the
- light of my countenance they cast not down.
- JOB 29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a
- king in the army, as one {that} comforteth the mourners.
- JOB 30:1 But now {they that are} younger than I have me in
- derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with
- the dogs of my flock.
- JOB 30:2 Yea, whereto {might} the strength of their hands
- {profit} me, in whom old age was perished?
- JOB 30:3 For want and famine {they were} solitary; fleeing into
- the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
- JOB 30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots
- {for} their meat.
- JOB 30:5 They were driven forth from among {men}, (they cried
- after them as {after} a thief;)
- JOB 30:6 To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, {in} caves of the
- earth, and {in} the rocks.
- JOB 30:7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they
- were gathered together.
- JOB 30:8 {They were} children of fools, yea, children of base
- men: they were viler than the earth.
- JOB 30:9 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
- JOB 30:10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to
- spit in my face.
- JOB 30:11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they
- have also let loose the bridle before me.
- JOB 30:12 Upon {my} right {hand} rise the youth; they push away
- my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their
- destruction.
- JOB 30:13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they
- have no helper.
- JOB 30:14 They came {upon me} as a wide breaking in {of waters}:
- in the desolation they rolled themselves {upon me}.
- JOB 30:15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the
- wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
- JOB 30:16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of
- affliction have taken hold upon me.
- JOB 30:17 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my
- sinews take no rest.
- JOB 30:18 By the great force {of my disease} is my garment
- changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
- JOB 30:19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like
- dust and ashes.
- JOB 30:20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up,
- and thou regardest me {not}.
- JOB 30:21 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou
- opposest thyself against me.
- JOB 30:22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride
- {upon it}, and dissolvest my substance.
- JOB 30:23 For I know {that} thou wilt bring me {to} death, and to
- the house appointed for all living.
- JOB 30:24 Howbeit he will not stretch out {his} hand to the
- grave, though they cry in his destruction.
- JOB 30:25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was {not}
- my soul grieved for the poor?
- JOB 30:26 When I looked for good, then evil came {unto me}: and
- when I waited for light, there came darkness.
- JOB 30:27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of
- affliction prevented me.
- JOB 30:28 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, {and} I
- cried in the congregation.
- JOB 30:29 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
- JOB 30:30 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with
- heat.
- JOB 30:31 My harp also is {turned} to mourning, and my organ into
- the voice of them that weep.
- JOB 31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I
- think upon a maid?
- JOB 31:2 For what portion of God {is there} from above? and
- {what} inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
- JOB 31:3 {Is} not destruction to the wicked? and a strange
- {punishment} to the workers of iniquity?
- JOB 31:4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
- JOB 31:5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted
- to deceit;
- JOB 31:6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know
- mine integrity.
- JOB 31:7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart
- walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine
- hands;
- JOB 31:8 {Then} let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my
- offspring be rooted out.
- JOB 31:9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or {if} I
- have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
- JOB 31:10 {Then} let my wife grind unto another, and let others
- bow down upon her.
- JOB 31:11 For this {is} an heinous crime; yea, it {is} an
- iniquity {to be punished by} the judges.
- JOB 31:12 For it {is} a fire {that} consumeth to destruction, and
- would root out all mine increase.
- JOB 31:13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my
- maidservant, when they contended with me;
- JOB 31:14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he
- visiteth, what shall I answer him?
- JOB 31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did
- not one fashion us in the womb?
- JOB 31:16 If I have withheld the poor from {their} desire, or
- have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
- JOB 31:17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the
- fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
- JOB 31:18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as {with}
- a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
- JOB 31:19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any
- poor without covering;
- JOB 31:20 If his loins have not blessed me, and {if} he were
- {not} warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
- JOB 31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless,
- when I saw my help in the gate:
- JOB 31:22 {Then} let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and
- mine arm be broken from the bone.
- JOB 31:23 For destruction {from} God {was} a terror to me, and by
- reason of his highness I could not endure.
- JOB 31:24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine
- gold, {Thou art} my confidence;
- JOB 31:25 If I rejoiced because my wealth {was} great, and
- because mine hand had gotten much;
- JOB 31:26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking
- {in} brightness;
- JOB 31:27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth
- hath kissed my hand:
- JOB 31:28 This also {were} an iniquity {to be punished by} the
- judge: for I should have denied the God {that is} above.
- JOB 31:29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me,
- or lifted up myself when evil found him:
- JOB 31:30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a
- curse to his soul.
- JOB 31:31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of
- his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
- JOB 31:32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: {but} I
- opened my doors to the traveller.
- JOB 31:33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine
- iniquity in my bosom:
- JOB 31:34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of
- families terrify me, that I kept silence, {and} went not out of
- the door?
- JOB 31:35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire {is, that}
- the Almighty would answer me, and {that} mine adversary had
- written a book.
- JOB 31:36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, {and} bind it
- {as} a crown to me.
- JOB 31:37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a
- prince would I go near unto him.
- JOB 31:38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise
- thereof complain;
- JOB 31:39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or
- have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
- JOB 31:40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead
- of barley. The words of Job are ended.
- JOB 32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he
- {was} righteous in his own eyes.
- JOB 32:2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel
- the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath
- kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
- JOB 32:3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled,
- because they had found no answer, and {yet} had condemned Job.
- JOB 32:4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they
- {were} elder than he.
- JOB 32:5 When Elihu saw that {there was} no answer in the mouth
- of {these} three men, then his wrath was kindled.
- JOB 32:6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and
- said, I {am} young, and ye {are} very old; wherefore I was
- afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
- JOB 32:7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should
- teach wisdom.
- JOB 32:8 But {there is} a spirit in man: and the inspiration of
- the Almighty giveth them understanding.
- JOB 32:9 Great men are not {always} wise: neither do the aged
- understand judgment.
- JOB 32:10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine
- opinion.
- JOB 32:11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your
- reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
- JOB 32:12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, {there was} none
- of you that convinced Job, {or} that answered his words:
- JOB 32:13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God
- thrusteth him down, not man.
- JOB 32:14 Now he hath not directed {his} words against me:
- neither will I answer him with your speeches.
- JOB 32:15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off
- speaking.
- JOB 32:16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood
- still, {and} answered no more;)
- JOB 32:17 {I said}, I will answer also my part, I also will shew
- mine opinion.
- JOB 32:18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me
- constraineth me.
- JOB 32:19 Behold, my belly {is} as wine {which} hath no vent; it
- is ready to burst like new bottles.
- JOB 32:20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my
- lips and answer.
- JOB 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person,
- neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
- JOB 32:22 For I know not to give flattering titles; {in so doing}
- my maker would soon take me away.
- JOB 33:1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and
- hearken to all my words.
- JOB 33:2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath
- spoken in my mouth.
- JOB 33:3 My words {shall be of} the uprightness of my heart: and
- my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
- JOB 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the
- Almighty hath given me life.
- JOB 33:5 If thou canst answer me, set {thy words} in order before
- me, stand up.
- JOB 33:6 Behold, I {am} according to thy wish in God's stead: I
- also am formed out of the clay.
- JOB 33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither
- shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
- JOB 33:8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have
- heard the voice of {thy} words, {saying},
- JOB 33:9 I am clean without transgression, I {am} innocent;
- neither {is there} iniquity in me.
- JOB 33:10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me
- for his enemy,
- JOB 33:11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my
- paths.
- JOB 33:12 Behold, {in} this thou art not just: I will answer
- thee, that God is greater than man.
- JOB 33:13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not
- account of any of his matters.
- JOB 33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, {yet man} perceiveth
- it not.
- JOB 33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep
- falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
- JOB 33:16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their
- instruction,
- JOB 33:17 That he may withdraw man {from his} purpose, and hide
- pride from man.
- JOB 33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life
- from perishing by the sword.
- JOB 33:19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the
- multitude of his bones with strong {pain}:
- JOB 33:20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty
- meat.
- JOB 33:21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and
- his bones {that} were not seen stick out.
- JOB 33:22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life
- to the destroyers.
- JOB 33:23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one
- among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
- JOB 33:24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him
- from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
- JOB 33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall
- return to the days of his youth:
- JOB 33:26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto
- him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto
- man his righteousness.
- JOB 33:27 He looketh upon men, and {if any} say, I have sinned,
- and perverted {that which was} right, and it profited me not;
- JOB 33:28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and
- his life shall see the light.
- JOB 33:29 Lo, all these {things} worketh God oftentimes with man,
- JOB 33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened
- with the light of the living.
- JOB 33:31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and
- I will speak.
- JOB 33:32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I
- desire to justify thee.
- JOB 33:33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall
- teach thee wisdom.
- JOB 34:1 Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
- JOB 34:2 Hear my words, O ye wise {men}; and give ear unto me, ye
- that have knowledge.
- JOB 34:3 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
- JOB 34:4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among
- ourselves what {is} good.
- JOB 34:5 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken
- away my judgment.
- JOB 34:6 Should I lie against my right? my wound {is} incurable
- without transgression.
- JOB 34:7 What man {is} like Job, {who} drinketh up scorning like
- water?
- JOB 34:8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and
- walketh with wicked men.
- JOB 34:9 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he
- should delight himself with God.
- JOB 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.
- JOB 34:11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and
- cause every man to find according to {his} ways.
- JOB 34:12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the
- Almighty pervert judgment.
- JOB 34:13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath
- disposed the whole world?
- JOB 34:14 If he set his heart upon man, {if} he gather unto
- himself his spirit and his breath;
- JOB 34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn
- again unto dust.
- JOB 34:16 If now {thou hast} understanding, hear this: hearken to
- the voice of my words.
- JOB 34:17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou
- condemn him that is most just?
- JOB 34:18 {Is it fit} to say to a king, {Thou art} wicked? {and}
- to princes, {Ye are} ungodly?
- JOB 34:19 {How much less to him} that accepteth not the persons
- of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they
- all {are} the work of his hands.
- JOB 34:20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be
- troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be
- taken away without hand.
- JOB 34:21 For his eyes {are} upon the ways of man, and he seeth
- all his goings.
- JOB 34:22 {There is} no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the
- workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
- JOB 34:23 For he will not lay upon man more {than right}; that he
- should enter into judgment with God.
- JOB 34:24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and
- set others in their stead.
- JOB 34:25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth
- {them} in the night, so that they are destroyed.
- JOB 34:26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of
- others;
- JOB 34:27 Because they turned back from him, and would not
- consider any of his ways:
- JOB 34:28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto
- him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
- JOB 34:29 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble?
- and when he hideth {his} face, who then can behold him? whether
- {it be done} against a nation, or against a man only:
- JOB 34:30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be
- ensnared.
- JOB 34:31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne
- {chastisement}, I will not offend {any more}:
- JOB 34:32 {That which} I see not teach thou me: if I have done
- iniquity, I will do no more.
- JOB 34:33 {Should it be} according to thy mind? he will
- recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and
- not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
- JOB 34:34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man
- hearken unto me.
- JOB 34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words {were}
- without wisdom.
- JOB 34:36 My desire {is that} Job may be tried unto the end
- because of {his} answers for wicked men.
- JOB 34:37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth {his
- hands} among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
- JOB 35:1 Elihu spake moreover, and said,
- JOB 35:2 Thinkest thou this to be right, {that} thou saidst, My
- righteousness {is} more than God's?
- JOB 35:3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee?
- {and}, What profit shall I have, {if I be cleansed} from my sin?
- JOB 35:4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
- JOB 35:5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds
- {which} are higher than thou.
- JOB 35:6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or {if}
- thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
- JOB 35:7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what
- receiveth he of thine hand?
- JOB 35:8 Thy wickedness {may hurt} a man as thou {art}; and thy
- righteousness {may profit} the son of man.
- JOB 35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make {the
- oppressed} to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the
- mighty.
- JOB 35:10 But none saith, Where {is} God my maker, who giveth
- songs in the night;
- JOB 35:11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and
- maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
- JOB 35:12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the
- pride of evil men.
- JOB 35:13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the
- Almighty regard it.
- JOB 35:14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, {yet}
- judgment {is} before him; therefore trust thou in him.
- JOB 35:15 But now, because {it is} not {so}, he hath visited in
- his anger; yet he knoweth {it} not in great extremity:
- JOB 35:16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he
- multiplieth words without knowledge.
- JOB 36:1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
- JOB 36:2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that {I have}
- yet to speak on God's behalf.
- JOB 36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe
- righteousness to my Maker.
- JOB 36:4 For truly my words {shall} not {be} false: he that is
- perfect in knowledge {is} with thee.
- JOB 36:5 Behold, God {is} mighty, and despiseth not {any: he is}
- mighty in strength {and} wisdom.
- JOB 36:6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth
- right to the poor.
- JOB 36:7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with
- kings {are} {they} on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for
- ever, and they are exalted.
- JOB 36:8 And if {they be} bound in fetters, {and} be holden in
- cords of affliction;
- JOB 36:9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their
- transgressions that they have exceeded.
- JOB 36:10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth
- that they return from iniquity.
- JOB 36:11 If they obey and serve {him}, they shall spend their
- days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
- JOB 36:12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword,
- and they shall die without knowledge.
- JOB 36:13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not
- when he bindeth them.
- JOB 36:14 They die in youth, and their life {is} among the
- unclean.
- JOB 36:15 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth
- their ears in oppression.
- JOB 36:16 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait
- {into} a broad place, where {there is} no straitness; and that
- which should be set on thy table {should be} full of fatness.
- JOB 36:17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked:
- judgment and justice take hold {on thee}.
- JOB 36:18 Because {there is} wrath, {beware} lest he take thee
- away with {his} stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
- JOB 36:19 Will he esteem thy riches? {no}, not gold, nor all the
- forces of strength.
- JOB 36:20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their
- place.
- JOB 36:21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou
- chosen rather than affliction.
- JOB 36:22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like
- him?
- JOB 36:23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou
- hast wrought iniquity?
- JOB 36:24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
- JOB 36:25 Every man may see it; man may behold {it} afar off.
- JOB 36:26 Behold, God {is} great, and we know {him} not, neither
- can the number of his years be searched out.
- JOB 36:27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down
- rain according to the vapour thereof:
- JOB 36:28 Which the clouds do drop {and} distil upon man
- abundantly.
- JOB 36:29 Also can {any} understand the spreadings of the clouds,
- or the noise of his tabernacle?
- JOB 36:30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth
- the bottom of the sea.
- JOB 36:31 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in
- abundance.
- JOB 36:32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it
- {not to shine} by {the cloud} that cometh betwixt.
- JOB 36:33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle
- also concerning the vapour.
- JOB 37:1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his
- place.
- JOB 37:2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound
- {that} goeth out of his mouth.
- JOB 37:3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his
- lightning unto the ends of the earth.
- JOB 37:4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice
- of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is
- heard.
- JOB 37:5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things
- doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
- JOB 37:6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou {on} the earth;
- likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his
- strength.
- JOB 37:7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may
- know his work.
- JOB 37:8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their
- places.
- JOB 37:9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of
- the north.
- JOB 37:10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of
- the waters is straitened.
- JOB 37:11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he
- scattereth his bright cloud:
- JOB 37:12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they
- may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world
- in the earth.
- JOB 37:13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for
- his land, or for mercy.
- JOB 37:14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the
- wondrous works of God.
- JOB 37:15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the
- light of his cloud to shine?
- JOB 37:16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the
- wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
- JOB 37:17 How thy garments {are} warm, when he quieteth the earth
- by the south {wind}?
- JOB 37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, {which is}
- strong, {and} as a molten looking glass?
- JOB 37:19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; {for} we cannot
- order {our speech} by reason of darkness.
- JOB 37:20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak,
- surely he shall be swallowed up.
- JOB 37:21 And now {men} see not the bright light which {is} in
- the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
- JOB 37:22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God {is}
- terrible majesty.
- JOB 37:23 {Touching} the Almighty, we cannot find him out: {he
- is} excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of
- justice: he will not afflict.
- JOB 37:24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any {that
- are} wise of heart.
- JOB 38:1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and
- said,
- JOB 38:2 Who {is} this that darkeneth counsel by words without
- knowledge?
- JOB 38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of
- thee, and answer thou me.
- JOB 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the
- earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
- JOB 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or
- who hath stretched the line upon it?
- JOB 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who
- laid the corner stone thereof;
- JOB 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons
- of God shouted for joy?
- JOB 38:8 Or {who} shut up the sea with doors, when it brake
- forth, {as if} it had issued out of the womb?
- JOB 38:9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick
- darkness a swaddlingband for it,
- JOB 38:10 And brake up for it my decreed {place}, and set bars
- and doors,
- JOB 38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and
- here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
- JOB 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; {and}
- caused the dayspring to know his place;
- JOB 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that
- the wicked might be shaken out of it?
- JOB 38:14 It is turned as clay {to} the seal; and they stand as a
- garment.
- JOB 38:15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the
- high arm shall be broken.
- JOB 38:16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast
- thou walked in the search of the depth?
- JOB 38:17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast
- thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
- JOB 38:18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare
- if thou knowest it all.
- JOB 38:19 Where {is} the way {where} light dwelleth? and {as for}
- darkness, where {is} the place thereof,
- JOB 38:20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and
- that thou shouldest know the paths {to} the house thereof?
- JOB 38:21 Knowest thou {it}, because thou wast then born? or
- {because} the number of thy days {is} great?
- JOB 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or
- hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
- JOB 38:23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble,
- against the day of battle and war?
- JOB 38:24 By what way is the light parted, {which} scattereth the
- east wind upon the earth?
- JOB 38:25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of
- waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
- JOB 38:26 To cause it to rain on the earth, {where} no man {is;
- on} the wilderness, wherein {there is} no man;
- JOB 38:27 To satisfy the desolate and waste {ground}; and to
- cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
- JOB 38:28 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops
- of dew?
- JOB 38:29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of
- heaven, who hath gendered it?
- JOB 38:30 The waters are hid as {with} a stone, and the face of
- the deep is frozen.
- JOB 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or
- loose the bands of Orion?
- JOB 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or
- canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
- JOB 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set
- the dominion thereof in the earth?
- JOB 38:34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that
- abundance of waters may cover thee?
- JOB 38:35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say
- unto thee, Here we {are}?
- JOB 38:36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath
- given understanding to the heart?
- JOB 38:37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay
- the bottles of heaven,
- JOB 38:38 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods
- cleave fast together?
- JOB 38:39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the
- appetite of the young lions,
- JOB 38:40 When they couch in {their} dens, {and} abide in the
- covert to lie in wait?
- JOB 38:41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young
- ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
- JOB 39:1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock
- bring forth? {or} canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
- JOB 39:2 Canst thou number the months {that} they fulfil? or
- knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
- JOB 39:3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones,
- they cast out their sorrows.
- JOB 39:4 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with
- corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.
- JOB 39:5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed
- the bands of the wild ass?
- JOB 39:6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren
- land his dwellings.
- JOB 39:7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth
- he the crying of the driver.
- JOB 39:8 The range of the mountains {is} his pasture, and he
- searcheth after every green thing.
- JOB 39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by
- thy crib?
- JOB 39:10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the
- furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
- JOB 39:11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength {is} great?
- or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
- JOB 39:12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy
- seed, and gather {it into} thy barn?
- JOB 39:13 {Gavest thou} the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or
- wings and feathers unto the ostrich?
- JOB 39:14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them
- in dust,
- JOB 39:15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that
- the wild beast may break them.
- JOB 39:16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though {they
- were} not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;
- JOB 39:17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath
- he imparted to her understanding.
- JOB 39:18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth
- the horse and his rider.
- JOB 39:19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed
- his neck with thunder?
- JOB 39:20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory
- of his nostrils {is} terrible.
- JOB 39:21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in {his}
- strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.
- JOB 39:22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither
- turneth he back from the sword.
- JOB 39:23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear
- and the shield.
- JOB 39:24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage:
- neither believeth he that {it is} the sound of the trumpet.
- JOB 39:25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth
- the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the
- shouting.
- JOB 39:26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, {and} stretch her
- wings toward the south?
- JOB 39:27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her
- nest on high?
- JOB 39:28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of
- the rock, and the strong place.
- JOB 39:29 From thence she seeketh the prey, {and} her eyes behold
- afar off.
- JOB 39:30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain
- {are}, there {is} she.
- JOB 40:1 Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said,
- JOB 40:2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct
- {him}? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
- JOB 40:3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
- JOB 40:4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay
- mine hand upon my mouth.
- JOB 40:5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice;
- but I will proceed no further.
- JOB 40:6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind,
- and said,
- JOB 40:7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee,
- and declare thou unto me.
- JOB 40:8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn
- me, that thou mayest be righteous?
- JOB 40:9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a
- voice like him?
- JOB 40:10 Deck thyself now {with} majesty and excellency; and
- array thyself with glory and beauty.
- JOB 40:11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one
- {that is} proud, and abase him.
- JOB 40:12 Look on every one {that is} proud, {and} bring him low;
- and tread down the wicked in their place.
- JOB 40:13 Hide them in the dust together; {and} bind their faces
- in secret.
- JOB 40:14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right
- hand can save thee.
- JOB 40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth
- grass as an ox.
- JOB 40:16 Lo now, his strength {is} in his loins, and his force
- {is} in the navel of his belly.
- JOB 40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his
- stones are wrapped together.
- JOB 40:18 His bones {are as} strong pieces of brass; his bones
- {are} like bars of iron.
- JOB 40:19 He {is} the chief of the ways of God: he that made him
- can make his sword to approach {unto him}.
- JOB 40:20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all
- the beasts of the field play.
- JOB 40:21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the
- reed, and fens.
- JOB 40:22 The shady trees cover him {with} their shadow; the
- willows of the brook compass him about.
- JOB 40:23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, {and} hasteth not: he
- trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
- JOB 40:24 He taketh it with his eyes: {his} nose pierceth through
- snares.
- JOB 41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his
- tongue with a cord {which} thou lettest down?
- JOB 41:2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw
- through with a thorn?
- JOB 41:3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak
- soft {words} unto thee?
- JOB 41:4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him
- for a servant for ever?
- JOB 41:5 Wilt thou play with him as {with} a bird? or wilt thou
- bind him for thy maidens?
- JOB 41:6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they
- part him among the merchants?
- JOB 41:7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head
- with fish spears?
- JOB 41:8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no
- more.
- JOB 41:9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not {one} be
- cast down even at the sight of him?
- JOB 41:10 None {is so} fierce that dare stir him up: who then is
- able to stand before me?
- JOB 41:11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay {him?
- whatsoever is} under the whole heaven is mine.
- JOB 41:12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his
- comely proportion.
- JOB 41:13 Who can discover the face of his garment? {or} who can
- come {to him} with his double bridle?
- JOB 41:14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth {are}
- terrible round about.
- JOB 41:15 {His} scales {are his} pride, shut up together {as
- with} a close seal.
- JOB 41:16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between
- them.
- JOB 41:17 They are joined one to another, they stick together,
- that they cannot be sundered.
- JOB 41:18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes {are}
- like the eyelids of the morning.
- JOB 41:19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, {and} sparks of fire
- leap out.
- JOB 41:20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as {out} of a seething
- pot or caldron.
- JOB 41:21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his
- mouth.
- JOB 41:22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned
- into joy before him.
- JOB 41:23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are
- firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
- JOB 41:24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a
- piece of the nether {millstone}.
- JOB 41:25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by
- reason of breakings they purify themselves.
- JOB 41:26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the
- spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
- JOB 41:27 He esteemeth iron as straw, {and} brass as rotten wood.
- JOB 41:28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned
- with him into stubble.
- JOB 41:29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the
- shaking of a spear.
- JOB 41:30 Sharp stones {are} under him: he spreadeth sharp
- pointed things upon the mire.
- JOB 41:31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the
- sea like a pot of ointment.
- JOB 41:32 He maketh a path to shine after him; {one} would think
- the deep {to be} hoary.
- JOB 41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without
- fear.
- JOB 41:34 He beholdeth all high {things}: he {is} a king over all
- the children of pride.
- JOB 42:1 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,
- JOB 42:2 I know that thou canst do every {thing}, and {that} no
- thought can be withholden from thee.
- JOB 42:3 Who {is} he that hideth counsel without knowledge?
- therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too
- wonderful for me, which I knew not.
- JOB 42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of
- thee, and declare thou unto me.
- JOB 42:5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now
- mine eye seeth thee.
- JOB 42:6 Wherefore I abhor {myself}, and repent in dust and
- ashes.
- JOB 42:7 And it was {so}, that after the Lord had spoken these
- words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath
- is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have
- not spoken of me {the thing that is} right, as my servant Job
- {hath}.
- JOB 42:8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven
- rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a
- burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him
- will I accept: lest I deal with you {after your} folly, in that
- ye have not spoken of me {the thing which is} right, like my
- servant Job.
- JOB 42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite {and}
- Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord
- commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job.
- JOB 42:10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he
- prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as
- he had before.
- JOB 42:11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his
- sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before,
- and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him,
- and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought
- upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one
- an earring of gold.
- JOB 42:12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his
- beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand
- camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
- JOB 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
- JOB 42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the
- name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third,
- Kerenhappuch.
- JOB 42:15 And in all the land were no women found {so} fair as
- the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance
- among their brethren.
- JOB 42:16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and
- saw his sons, and his sons' sons, {even} four generations.
- JOB 42:17 So Job died, {being} old and full of days.
