: Job 1

: 1 . There was a man <0376 >iysh > in the land <0776 >erets >

of Uz <5780 <Uwts > , whose name <8034 shem > [ was ] Job

<0347 >Iyowb > ; and that man <0376 >iysh > was perfect <8535

tam > and upright <3477 yashar > , and one that feared <3373

yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > , and eschewed <5493 cuwr > evil

<7451 ra< > .

: 2 And there were born <3205 yalad > unto him seven <7651

sheba< > sons <1121 ben > and three <7969 shalowsh > daughters

<1121 ben > .

: 3 His substance <4735 miqneh > also was seven <7651 sheba< >

thousand <0505 >eleph > sheep <6629 tso>n > , and three <7969

shalowsh > thousand <0505 >eleph > camels <1581 gamal > , and

five <2568 chamesh > hundred <3967 me>ah > yoke <6776 tsemed >

of oxen <1241 baqar > , and five <2568 chamesh > hundred <3967

me>ah > she asses <0860 >athown > , and a very <3966 m@<od >

great <7227 rab > household <5657 <abuddah > ; so that this

<1931 huw> > man <0376 >iysh > was the greatest <1419 gadowl >

of all <3605 kol > the men <1121 ben > of the east <6924 qedem >

: 4 . And his sons <1121 ben > went <1980 halak > and feasted

<4960 mishteh > [ in their ] houses <1004 bayith > , every

<0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his day <3117 yowm > ; and sent

<7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > for their three <7969

shalowsh > sisters <0269 >achowth > to eat <0398 >akal > and to

drink <8354 shathah > with them .

: 5 And it was so , when <3588 kiy > the days <3117 yowm > of

[ their ] feasting <4960 mishteh > were gone <5362 naqaph >

about <5362 naqaph > , that Job <0347 >Iyowb > sent <7971

shalach > and sanctified <6942 qadash > them , and rose <7925

shakam > up early <7925 shakam > in the morning <1242 boqer > ,

and offered <5927 <alah > burnt <5930 <olah > offerings [

according ] to the number <4557 micpar > of them all <3605 kol

> : for Job <0347 >Iyowb > said <0559 >amar > , It may <0194

>uwlay > be that my sons <1121 ben > have sinned <2398 chata> > ,

and cursed <1288 barak > God <0430 >elohiym > in their hearts

<3824 lebab > . Thus <3602 kakah > did <6213 <asah > Job <0347

>Iyowb > continually .

: 6 . Now there was a day <3117 yowm > when the sons <1121 ben

> of God <0430>elohiym > came <0935 bow> > to present <3320

yatsab > themselves before <5921 <al > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

and Satan <7854 satan > came <0935 bow> > also <1571 gam >

among <8432 tavek > them .

: 7 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan

<7854 satan > , Whence <0370 >aiyn > comest <0935 bow> > thou ?

Then Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , From going <7751 shuwt >

to and fro <7751 shuwt > in the earth <0776 >erets > , and from

walking <1980 halak > up and down in it .

: 8 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan

<7854 satan > , Hast thou considered my servant <5650 <ebed >

Job <0347 >Iyowb > , that [ there is ] none <0369 >ayin >

like <3644 k@mow > him in the earth <0776 >erets > , a perfect

<8535 tam > and an upright <3477 yashar > man <0376 >iysh > ,

one that feareth <3373 yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > , and

escheweth <5493 cuwr > evil <7451 ra< > ?

: 9 Then Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , Doth Job <0347

>Iyowb > fear <3372 yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > for nought

<2600 chinnam > ?

: 10 Hast not thou made an hedge <7753 suwk > about <1157 b@<ad

about <1157 b@<ad > all <3605 kol > that he hath on every <5437

cabab > side <5439 cabiyb > ? thou hast blessed <1288 barak >

the work <4639 ma<aseh > of his hands <3027 yad > , and his

substance <4735 miqneh > is increased <6555 parats > in the land

<0776 >erets > .

: 11 But put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > thine hand

<3027 yad > now <4994 na> > , and touch <5060 naga< > all <3605

kol > that he hath , and he will curse <1288 barak > thee to

thy face <6440 paniym > .

: 12 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan

<7854 satan > , Behold <2009 hinneh > , all <3605 kol > that

he hath [ is ] in thy power <3027 yad > ; only <3535 kibsah >

upon himself put <7971 shalach > not forth <7971 shalach > thine

hand <3027 yad > . So Satan <7854 satan > went <3318 yatsa> >

forth <3318 yatsa> > from the presence <6440 paniym > of the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 13 . And there was a day <3117 yowm > when his sons <1121

ben > and his daughters <1121 ben > [ were ] eating <0398

eldest <1060 b@kowr > brother s <0251 >ach > house <1004 bayith

: 14 And there came <0935 bow> > a messenger <4397 mal>ak >

unto Job <0347 >Iyowb > , and said <0559 >amar > , The oxen

<1241 baqar > were plowing <2790 charash > , and the asses

<0860 >athown > feeding <7462 ra<ah > beside them :

: 15 And the Sabeans <7614 Sh@ba> > fell <5307 naphal > [ upon

them ] , and took <3947 laqach > them away ; yea , they have

slain <5221 nakah > the servants <5288 na<ar > with the edge

<6310 peh > of the sword <2719 chereb > ; and I only <7535 raq

: 16 While he [ was ] yet speaking <1696 dabar > , there

came <0935 bow> > also another <2088 zeh > , and said <0559

fallen <5307 naphal > from heaven <8064 shamayim > , and hath

burned <1197 ba<ar > up the sheep <6629 tso>n > , and the

servants <5288 na<ar > , and consumed <0398 >akal > them ; and

I only <7535 raq > am escaped <4422 malat > alone <0905 bad > to

tell <5046 nagad > thee .

: 17 While he [ was ] yet speaking <1696 dabar > , there

came <0935 bow> > also another <2088 zeh > , and said <0559

>amar > , The Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > made <7760 suwm > out

three <7969 shalowsh > bands <7218 ro>sh > , and fell <6584

pashat > upon the camels <1581 gamal > , and have carried <3947

laqach > them away , yea , and slain <5221 nakah > the

servants <5288 na<ar > with the edge <6310 peh > of the sword

<2719 chereb > ; and I only <7535 raq > am escaped <4422 malat

: 18 While he [ was ] yet speaking <1696 dabar > , there

came <0935 bow> > also another <2088 zeh > , and said <0559

<3196 yayin > in their eldest <1060 b@kowr > brother s <0251

>ach > house <1004 bayith > :

: 19 And , behold <2009 hinneh > , there came <0935 bow> > a

great <1419 gadowl > wind <7307 ruwach > from the wilderness

<4057 midbar > , and smote <5060 naga< > the four <0702 >arba<

fell <5307 naphal > upon the young <5288 na<ar > men , and they

are dead <4191 muwth > ; and I only <7535 raq > am escaped

<4422 malat > alone <0905 bad > to tell <5046 nagad > thee .

: 20 . Then Job <0347 >Iyowb > arose <6965 quwm > , and rent

<7167 qara< > his mantle <4598 m@<iyl > , and shaved <1494

gazaz > his head <7218 ro>sh > , and fell <5307 naphal > down

upon the ground <0776 >erets > , and worshipped <7812 shachah >

: 21 And said <0559 >amar > , Naked <6174 <arowm > came <3318

yatsa> > I out of my mother s <0517 >em > womb <0990 beten > ,

and naked <6174 <arowm > shall I return <7725 shuwb > thither

<8033 sham > : the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <5414 nathan > ,

and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath taken <3947 laqach > away ;

blessed <1288 barak > be the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > .

: 22 In all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > Job <0347 >Iyowb >

sinned <2398 chata> > not , nor <3808 lo> > charged <5414

nathan > God <0430 >elohiym > foolishly <8604 tiphlah > .

: Job 2

: 1 . Again there was a day <3117 yowm > when the sons <1121

ben > of God <0430 >elohiym > came <0935 bow> > to present <3320

yatsab > themselves before <5921 <al > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > ,

among <8432 tavek > them to present <3320 yatsab > himself

before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 2 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan

<7854 satan > , From whence comest <0935 bow> > thou ? And

Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , From going <7751 shuwt >

to and fro <7751 shuwt > in the earth <0776 >erets > , and from

walking <1980 halak > up and down in it .

: 3 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan

<7854 satan > , Hast thou considered my servant <5650 <ebed >

Job <0347 >Iyowb > , that [ there is ] none <0369 >ayin >

like <3644 k@mow > him in the earth <0776 >erets > , a perfect

<8535 tam > and an upright <3477 yashar > man <0376 >iysh > ,

one that feareth <3373 yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > , and

escheweth <5493 cuwr > evil <7451 ra< > ? and still <5750 <owd

although thou movedst <5496 cuwth > me against him , to destroy

<1104 bala< > him without <2600 chinnam > cause <2600 chinnam > .

: 4 And Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , Skin <5785 <owr >

for skin <5785 <owr > , yea , all <3605 kol > that a man <0376

>iysh > hath will he give <5414 nathan > for his life <5315

nephesh > .

: 5 But put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > thine hand

<3027 yad > now <4994 na> > , and touch <5060 naga< > his bone

<6106 <etsem > and his flesh <1320 basar > , and he will curse

<1288 barak > thee to thy face <6440 paniym > .

: 6 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan

<7854 satan > , Behold <2009 hinneh > , he [ is ] in thine

hand <3027 yad > ; but save <8104 shamar > his life <5315

: 7 . So went <3318 yatsa> > Satan <7854 satan > forth <3318

yatsa> > from the presence <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > , and smote <5221 nakah > Job <0347 >Iyowb > with

sore <7451 ra< > boils <7822 sh@chiyn > from the sole <3709 kaph

: 8 And he took <3947 laqach > him a potsherd <2789 cheres > to

scrape <1623 garad > himself withal ; and he sat <3427 yashab >

down among <8432 tavek > the ashes <0665 >epher > .

: 9 Then said <0559 >amar > his wife <0802 >ishshah > unto him ,

Dost thou still <5750 <owd > retain <2388 chazaq > thine

integrity <8538 tummah > ? curse <1288 barak > God <0430

: 10 But he said <0559 >amar > unto her , Thou speakest <1696

dabar > as one <0259 >echad > of the foolish <5039 n@balah >

women speaketh <1696 dabar > . What <1571 gam > ? shall we

receive <6901 qabal > good <2896 towb > at the hand <0854 >eth >

of God <0430 >elohiym > , and shall we not receive <6901 qabal

not Job <0347 >Iyowb > sin <2398 chata> > with his lips <8193

saphah > .

: 11 . Now when Job s <0347 >Iyowb > three <7969 shalowsh >

friends <7453 rea< > heard <8085 shama< > of all <3605 kol >

this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > that was come <0935 bow> >

upon him , they came <0935 bow> > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376

>iysh > from his own place <4725 maqowm > ; Eliphaz <0464

>Eliyphaz > the Temanite <8489 Teymaniy > , and Bildad <1085

Bildad > the Shuhite <7747 Shuchiy > , and Zophar <6691

Tsowphar > the Naamathite <5284 Na<amathiy > : for they had made

an appointment <3259 ya<ad > together <3162 yachad > to come

<0935 bow> > to mourn <5110 nuwd > with him and to comfort <5162

nacham > him .

: 12 And when they lifted <5375 nasa> > up their eyes <5869

<ayin > afar <7350 rachowq > off , and knew <5234 nakar > him

not , they lifted <5375 nasa> > up their voice <6963 qowl > ,

and wept <1058 bakah > ; and they rent <7167 qara< > every

<0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his mantle <4598 m@<iyl > , and

sprinkled <2236 zaraq > dust <6083 <aphar > upon their heads

<7218 ro>sh > toward heaven <8064 shamayim > .

: 13 So they sat <3427 yashab > down with him upon the ground

<0776 >erets > seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > and seven

<7651 sheba< > nights <3915 layil > , and none <0369 >ayin >

spake <1696 dabar > a word <1697 dabar > unto him : for they saw

<7200 ra>ah > that [ his ] grief <3511 k@>eb > was very <3966

m@<od > great <1431 gadal > .

: Job 3

: 1 . After <0310 >achar > this <3651 ken > opened <6605

pathach > Job <0347 >Iyowb > his mouth <6310 peh > , and cursed

<7043 qalal > his day <3117 yowm > .

: 2 And Job <0347 >Iyowb > spake <6030 <anah > , and said

<0559 >amar > ,

: 3 Let the day <3117 yowm > perish <6> wherein I was born

<3205 yalad > , and the night <3915 layil > [ in which ] it

was said <0559 >amar > , There is a man <1397 geber > child

conceived <2030 hareh > .

: 4 Let that day <3117 yowm > be darkness <2822 choshek > ;

let not God <0433 >elowahh > regard <1875 darash > it from above

<4605 ma<al > , neither <0408 >al > let the light <5105 n@harah

: 5 Let darkness <2822 choshek > and the shadow <6757

tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth > stain <1350 ga>al > it ;

let a cloud <6053 <ananah > dwell <7931 shakan > upon it ;

let the blackness <3650 kimriyr > of the day <3117 yowm >

terrify <1204 ba<ath > it .

: 6 As [ for ] that night <3915 layil > , let darkness <0652

>ophel > seize <3947 laqach > upon it ; let it not be joined

<2302 chadah > unto the days <3117 yowm > of the year <8141

shaneh > , let it not come <0935 bow> > into the number <4557

micpar > of the months <3391 yerach > .

: 7 Lo <2009 hinneh > , let that night <3915 layil > be

solitary <1565 galmuwd > , let no <0408 >al > joyful <7445

r@nanah > voice come <0935 bow> > therein .

: 8 Let them curse <5344 naqab > it that curse <0779 >arar >

the day <3117yowm > , who are ready <6264 <athiyd > to raise

<5782 <uwr > up their mourning <3382 Yered > .

: 9 Let the stars <3556 kowkab > of the twilight <5399 nesheph

for light <0216 >owr > , but [ have ] none <0369 >ayin > ;

neither <0408 >al > let it see <7200 ra>ah > the dawning <6079

<aph<aph > of the day <7837 shachar > :

: 10 Because <3588 kiy > it shut <5462 cagar > not up the doors

<1817 deleth > of my [ mother s ] womb <0990 beten > , nor

hid <5641 cathar > sorrow <3999 mabbuwl > from mine eyes <5869

<ayin > .

: 11 . Why <4100 mah > died <4191 muwth > I not from the womb

<7358 rechem > ? [ why ] did I [ not ] give <1478 gava< >

up the ghost <1478 gava< > when I came <3318 yatsa> > out of the

belly <0990 beten > ?

: 12 Why <4069 madduwa< > did the knees <1290 berek > prevent

<6923 qadam > me ? or why <4069 madduwa< > the breasts <7699

shad > that I should suck <3243 yanaq > ?

: 13 For now <6258 <attah > should I have lain <7901 shakab >

still and been quiet <8252 shaqat > , I should have slept <3462

yashen > : then <0227 >az > had I been at rest <5117 nuwach > ,

: 14 With kings <4428 melek > and counsellors <3289 ya<ats > of

the earth <0776 >erets > , which built <1129 banah > desolate

<2723 chorbah > places <2723 chorbah > for themselves ;

: 15 Or <0176 >ow > with princes <8269 sar > that had gold

<2091 zahab > , who filled <4390 male> > their houses <1004

bayith > with silver <3701 keceph > :

: 16 Or <0176 >ow > as an hidden <2934 taman > untimely <5309

nephel > birth<5309 nephel > I had not been <1961 hayah > ; as

infants <5768 <owlel > [ which ] never <3808 lo> > saw <7200

ra>ah > light <0216 >owr > .

: 17 There <8033 sham > the wicked <7563 rasha< > cease <2308

chadal > [ from ] troubling <7267 rogez > ; and there <8033

sham > the weary <3019 yagiya< > be at rest <5117 nuwach > .

: 18 [ There ] the prisoners <0615 >aciyr > rest <7599 sha>an

voice <6963 qowl > of the oppressor <5065 nagas > .

: 19 The small <6996 qatan > and great <1419 gadowl > are there

<8033 sham > ; and the servant <5650 <ebed > [ is ] free

<2670 chophshiy > from his master <0113 >adown > .

: 20 . Wherefore <4100 mah > is light <0216 >owr > given <5414

nathan > to him that is in misery <6001 <amel > , and life

<2416 chay > unto the bitter <4751 mar > [ in ] soul <5315

nephesh > ;

: 21 Which long <2442 chakah > for death <4194 maveth > , but

it [ cometh ] not ; and dig <2658 chaphar > for it more than

for hid <4301 matmown > treasures <4301 matmown > ;

: 22 Which rejoice <8055 samach > exceedingly , [ and ] are

glad <7797 suws > , when <3588 kiy > they can find <4672 matsa>

: 23 [ Why is light given ] to a man <1397 geber > whose

<0834 >aher > way <1870 derek > is hid <5641 cathar > , and

whom God <0433 >elowahh > hath hedged <5526 cakak > in ?

: 24 For my sighing <0585 >anachah > cometh <0935 bow> > before

<6440 paniym > I eat <3899 lechem > , and my roarings <7581

sh@agah > are poured <5413 nathak > out like the waters <4325

mayim > .

: 25 For the thing which I greatly feared <6342 pachad > is

come <0857 >athah > upon me , and that which <0834 >aher > I

was afraid <3025 yagor > of is come <0935 bow> > unto me .

: 26 I was not in safety <7951 shalah > , neither <3808 lo> >

had I rest <8252 shaqat > , neither <3808 lo> > was I quiet

<5117 nuwach > ; yet trouble <7267 rogez > came <0935 bow> > .

: Job 4

: 1 . Then Eliphaz <0464 >Eliyphaz > the Temanite <8489

Teymaniy > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 [ If ] we assay <5254 nacah > to commune <1697 dabar >

many <7227 rab > , and thou hast strengthened <2388 chazaq >

the weak <7504 rapheh > hands <3027 yad > .

that was falling <3782 kashal > , and thou hast strengthened

wickedness <5999 <amal > , reap <7114 qatsar > the same .

perish <6> , and by the breath <7307 ruwach > of his nostrils

: 10 The roaring <7581 sh@agah > of the lion <0738 >ariy > ,

and the voice <6963 qowl > of the fierce <7826 shachal > lion

<7826 shachal > , and the teeth <8127 shen > of the young <3715

trembling <7460> , which made all <7230 rob > my bones <6106

root <8327 sharash > : but suddenly <6597 pith>owm > I cursed

<5344 naqab > his habitation <5116 naveh > .

the froward <6617 pathal > is carried <4116 mahar > headlong .

hand <3027 yad > of the mighty <2389 chazaq > .

her mouth <6310 peh > .

troubles <6869 tsarah > : yea , in seven <7651 sheba< > there

shall no <3808 lo> > evil <7451 ra< > touch <5060 naga< > thee .

: 20 In famine <7458 ra<ab > he shall redeem <6299 padah > thee

from death <4194 maveth > : and in war <4421 milchamah > from

the power <3027 yad > of the sword <2719 chereb > .

: 21 Thou shalt be hid <2244> from the scourge <7752 showt > of

: Job 10

: 1 . My soul <5315 nephesh > is weary <5354 naqat > of my

not condemn <7561rasha< > me ; shew <3045 yada< > me wherefore

thou contendest with me .

: 3 [ Is it ] good <2896 towb > unto thee that thou shouldest

mine iniquity <5771 <avon > , and searchest <1875 darash >

after <0310 >achar > my sin <2403 chatta>ah > ?

that thou hast made <6213 <asah > me as the clay <2563 chomer > ;

bones <6106 <etsem > and sinews <1517 giyd > .

favour <2617 checed > , and thy visitation <6486 p@quddah >

filthy <0444 >alach > [ is ] man <0376 >iysh > , which

drinketh <8354 shathah > iniquity <5766 <evel > like water <4325

me ; and that [ which ] I have seen <2372 chazah > I will

declare <5608 caphar > ;

<5046 nagad > from their fathers <1> , and have not hid <3582

<2114 zuwr > passed <5674 <abar > among <8432 tavek > them .

: 20 The wicked <7563 rasha< > man travaileth <2342 chuwl >

with pain all <3605 kol > [ his ] days <3117 yowm > , and the

number <4557 micpar > of years <8141 shaneh > is hidden <6845

tsaphan > to the oppressor <6184 <ariyts > .

: 21 A dreadful <6343 pachad > sound <6963 qowl > [ is ] in

his ears <0241 >ozen > : in prosperity <7965 shalowm > the

destroyer <7703 shadad > shall come <0935 bow> > upon him .

shuwb > out of darkness <2822 choshek > , and he is waited

<3899 lechem > , [ saying ] , Where <0346 >ayeh > [ is it ]

darkness <2822 choshek > is ready <3559 kuwn > at his hand <3027

: 24 Trouble <6862 tsar > and anguish <4691 m@tsuwqah > shall

make him afraid <1204 ba<ath > ; they shall prevail <8630

taqaph > against him , as a king <4428 melek > ready <6264

against <0413 >el > God <0410 >el > , and strengtheneth <1396

gabar > himself against <0413 >el > the Almighty <7706 Shadday >

<1354 gab > of his bucklers <4043 magen > :

: 27 Because <3588 kiy > he covereth <3680 kacah > his face

<6440 paniym > with his fatness <2459 cheleb > , and maketh

<6213 <asah > collops <6371 piymah > of fat <6371 piymah > on [

: 28 And he dwelleth <7931 shakan > in desolate <3582 kachad >

cities <5892 <iyr > , [ and ] in houses <1004 bayith > which

no <3808 lo> > man inhabiteth <3427 yashab > , which <0834

: 29 He shall not be rich <6238 <ashar > , neither <3808 lo> >

shall his substance <2428 chayil > continue <6965 quwm > ,

neither <3808 lo> > shall he prolong <5186 natah > the

perfection <4512 minleh > thereof upon the earth <0776 >erets > .

: 31 Let not him that is deceived <8582 ta<ah > trust <0539

be his recompence <8545 t@muwrah > .

his time <3117 yowm > , and his branch <3712 kippah > shall not

be green <7488 ra<anan > .

grape <1154 becer > as the vine <1612 gephen > , and shall cast

<7993 shalak > off his flower <5328 nitstsah > as the olive

<2132 zayith > .

: 35 They conceive <2029 harah > mischief <5999 <amal > , and

bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad > vanity <0205 >aven > ,

and their belly <0990 beten > prepareth <3559 kuwn > deceit

<4820 mirmah > .

: Job 16

: 1 . Then Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 <anah > and said

<4834 marats > thee that thou answerest <6030 <anah > ?

: 4 I also <1571 gam > could speak <1696 dabar > as ye [ do ]

: if <3863 luw> > your soul <5315 nephesh > were in my soul s

shake <5128 nuwa< > mine head <7218 ro>sh > at you .

: 5 [ But ] I would strengthen <0553 >amats > you with my

mouth <6310 peh > , and the moving <5205 niyd > of my lips

I forbear <2308 chadal > , what <4100 mah > am I eased <1980

: 7 But now <6258 <attah > he hath made me weary <3811 la>ah > :

thou hast made desolate <8074 shamem > all <3605 kol > my

company <5712 <edah > .

upon me with his teeth <8127 shen > ; mine enemy <6862 tsar >

sharpeneth <3913 latash > his eyes <5869 <ayin > upon me .

: 10 They have gaped <6473 pa<ar > upon me with their mouth

<6310 peh > ; they have smitten <5221 nakah > me upon the cheek

<3895 l@chiy > reproachfully <2781 cherpah > ; they have

gathered <4390 male> > themselves together <3162 yachad >

against <5921 <al > me .

: 11 God <0410 >el > hath delivered <5462 cagar > me to the

ungodly <5760 <aviyl > , and turned <3399 yarat > me over <5921

<al > into <0413 >el > the hands <3027 yad > of the wicked <7563

poureth <8210 shaphak > out my gall <4845 m@rerah > upon the

: 14 He breaketh <6555 parats > me with breach <6556 perets >

upon breach <6556 perets > , he runneth <7323 ruwts > upon me

like a giant <1368 gibbowr > .

<1065 B@kiy > , and on <5921 <al > my eyelids <6079 <aph<aph >

mine eye <5869 <ayin > poureth <1811 dalaph > out [ tears ]

<6148 <arab > with thee ; who <4310 miy > [ is ] he [ that ]

will strike <8628 taqa< > hands <3027 yad > with me ?

: 4 For thou hast hid <6845 tsaphan > their heart <3820 leb >

from understanding <7922 sekel > : therefore shalt thou not

exalt <7311 ruwm > [ them ] .

: 5 He that speaketh <5046 nagad > flattery <2506 cheleq > to

[ his ] friends <7453 rea< > , even the eyes <5869 <ayin > of

was as a tabret <8611 topheth > .

of sorrow <3708ka<ac > , and all <3605 kol > my members <3338

as beasts <0929 b@hemah > , [ and ] reputed <2804 chashab >

vile <2933 tamah > in your sight <5869 <ayin > ?

: 4 He teareth <2963 taraph > himself <5315 nephesh > in his

<5800 <azab > for thee ? and shall the rock <6697 tsuwr > be

removed <6275 <athaq > out of his place <4725 maqowm > ?

: 5 . Yea <1571 gam > , the light <0216 >owr > of the wicked

be straitened <3334 yatsar > , and his own counsel <6098 <etsah

by his own feet <7272 regel > , and he walketh <1980 halak >

upon a snare <7639 s@bakah > .

brimstone <1614 gophriyth > shall be scattered <2219 zarah >

: 18 Yea <1571 gam > , young children despised <3988 ma>ac >

me ; I arose <6965 quwm > , and they spake <1696 dabar >

against me .

: 19 All <3605 kol > my inward <5475 cowd > friends <4962 math

: 20 My bone <6106 <etsem > cleaveth <1692 dabaq > to my skin

<5785 <owr > and to my flesh <1320 basar > , and I am escaped

<4422 malat > with the skin <5785 <owr > of my teeth <8127 shen

: 21 Have pity <2603 chanan > upon me , have pity <2603 chanan

yad > of God <0433 >elowahh > hath touched <5060 naga< > me .

: 22 Why <4100 mah > do ye persecute <7291 radaph > me as God

<0410 >el > , and are not satisfied <7646 saba< > with my flesh

<1320 basar > ?

: 23 . Oh that my words <4405 millah > were now <0645 >ephow >

written <3789 kathab > ! oh that they were printed <2710 chaqaq

barzel > pen<5842 <et > and lead <5777 <owphereth > in the rock

<6697 tsuwr > for ever <5703 <ad > !

<6965 quwm > at the latter <0314 >acharown > [ day ] upon the

[ worms ] destroy <5362 naqaph > this <2063 zo>th > [ body ]

, yet in my flesh <1320 basar > shall I see <2372 chazah > God

not another <2114 zuwr > ; [ though ] my reins <3629 kilyah >

be consumed <3615 kalah > within <2436 cheyq > me .

: 28 But ye should say <0559 >amar > , Why <4100 mah >

persecute <7291 radaph > we him , seeing the root <8328 sheresh

: 29 Be ye afraid <1481 guwr > of the sword <2719 chereb > :

for wrath <2534 chemah > [ bringeth ] the punishments <5771

: Job 20

: 1 . Then answered <6030 <anah > Zophar <6691 Tsowphar > the

Naamathite <5284 Na<amathiy > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Therefore <3651 ken > do my thoughts <5587 ca<iph > cause

me to answer <7725 shuwb > , and for [ this ] I make haste

<2363 chuwsh > .

: 3 I have heard <8085 shama< > the check <4148 muwcar > of my

reproach <3639 k@limmah > , and the spirit <7307 ruwach > of my

understanding <0998 biynah > causeth me to answer <6030 <anah > .

: 4 Knowest <3045 yada< > thou [ not ] this <2063 zo>th > of

old <5703 <ad > , since <4480 min > man <0120 >adam > was

placed <7760 suwm > upon earth <0776 >erets > ,

: 5 That the triumphing <7445 r@nanah > of the wicked <7563

rasha< > [ is ] short <7138 qarowb > , and the joy <8057

simchah > of the hypocrite <2611 chaneph > [ but ] for a

reach <5060 naga< > unto the clouds <5645 <ab > ;

: 7 [ Yet ] he shall perish <6> for ever <5331 netsach > like

his own dung <1561 gelel > : they which have seen <7200 ra>ah >

him shall say <0559 >amar > , Where <0335 >ay > [ is ] he ?

: 8 He shall fly <5774 <uwph > away as a dream <2472 chalowm > ,

and shall not be found <4672 matsa> > : yea , he shall be

chased <5074 nadad > away as a vision <2384 chizzayown > of the

night <3915 layil > .

: 9 The eye <5869 <ayin > also [ which ] saw <7805 shazaph >

him shall [ see him ] no <3808 lo> > more <3254 yacaph > ;

neither <3808 lo> > shall his place <4725 maqowm > any more

ratsah > the poor <1800 dal > , and his hands <3027 yad > shall

restore <7725 shuwb > their goods <0202 >own > .

: 11 His bones <6106 <etsem > are full <4390 male> > [ of the

sin ] of his youth <5934 <aluwm > , which shall lie <7901

shakab > down <7904 shakah > with him in the dust <6083 <aphar >

: 12 Though <0518 >im > wickedness <7451 ra< > be sweet <4985

kachad > it under <8478 tachath > his tongue <3956 lashown > ;

: 13 [ Though ] he spare <2550 chamal > it , and forsake

<5800 <azab > it not ; but keep <4513 mana< > it still within

<8432 tavek > his mouth <2441 chek > :

: 14 [ Yet ] his meat <3899 lechem > in his bowels <4578

me<ah > is turned <2015haphak > , [ it is ] the gall <4846

m@rorah > of asps <6620 pethen > within <7030 qiytharoc > him .

: 15 He hath swallowed <1104 bala< > down riches <2428 chayil >

, and he shall vomit <6958 qow> > them up again : God <0410 >el

: 16 He shall suck <3243 yanaq > the poison <7219 ro>sh > of

asps <6620 pethen > : the viper s <0660 >eph<eh > tongue <3956

lashown > shall slay <2026 harag > him .

: 17 He shall not see <7200 ra>ah > the rivers <6390 p@laggah >

, the floods <5104 nahar > , the brooks <5158 nachal > of

honey <1706 d@bash > and butter <2529 chem>ah > .

: 18 That which he laboured <3022 yaga< > for shall he restore

<7725 shuwb > , and shall not swallow <1104 bala< > [ it ]

down : according to [ his ] substance <2428 chayil > [ shall

] the restitution <8545 t@muwrah > [ be ] , and he shall not

rejoice <5965 <alac > [ therein ] .

: 19 Because <3588 kiy > he hath oppressed <7533 ratsats > [

and ] hath forsaken <5800 <azab > the poor <1800 dal > ; [

because ] he hath violently <1497 gazal > taken <1497 gazal >

away <1497 gazal > an house <1004 bayith > which he builded

<1129 banah > not ;

: 20 Surely <3588 kiy > he shall not feel <3045 yada< >

quietness <7961 shalev > in his belly <0990 beten > , he shall

not save <4422 malat > of that which he desired <2530 chamad > .

: 21 There shall none <0369 >ayin > of his meat <0400 >okel >

be left <8300 sariyd > ; therefore shall no <3808 lo> > man

look <2342 chuwl > for his goods <2898 tuwb > .

: 22 In the fulness <4390 male> > of his sufficiency <5607

cepheq > he shall be in straits <3334 yatsar > : every <3605 kol

: 23 . [ When ] he is about to fill <4390 male> > his belly

<0990 beten > , [ God ] shall cast <7971 shalach > the fury

<2740 charown > of his wrath <0639 >aph > upon him , and shall

rain <4305 matar > [ it ] upon him while he is eating <3894

: 24 He shall flee <1272 barach > from the iron <1270 barzel >

weapon <5402 nesheq > , [ and ] the bow <7198 qesheth > of

steel <5154 n@chuwshah > shall strike <2498 chalaph > him

through .

: 25 It is drawn <8025 shalaph > , and cometh <3318 yatsa> >

out of the body <1465 gevah > ; yea , the glittering <1300

baraq > sword <1300 baraq > cometh <1980 halak > out of his gall

<4846 m@rorah > : terrors <0367 >eymah > [ are ] upon him .

: 26 All <3605 kol > darkness <2822 choshek > [ shall be ]

hid <2244> in his secret <6845 tsaphan > places : a fire <0784

: 27 The heaven <8064 shamayim > shall reveal <1540 galah > his

iniquity <5771 <avon > ; and the earth <0776 >erets > shall

rise <6965 quwm > up against him .

: 28 The increase <2981 y@buwl > of his house <1004 bayith >

shall depart<1540 galah > , [ and his goods ] shall flow

<5064 nagar > away in the day <3117 yowm > of his wrath <0639

unto him by God <0410 >el > .

: Job 21

: 1 . But Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 <anah > and said

<0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Hear <8085 shama< > diligently my speech <4405 millah > ,

and let this <2063 zo>th > be your consolations <8575 tanchuwm >

: 3 Suffer <5375 nasa> > me that I may speak <1696 dabar > ;

and after <0310 >achar > that I have spoken <1696 dabar > ,

mock <3932 la<ag > on .

: 4 As for me , [ is ] my complaint <7878 siyach > to man

<0120 >adam > ? and if <0518 >im > [ it were so ] , why

<4069 madduwa< > should not my spirit <7307 ruwach > be troubled

<7114 qatsar > ?

: 5 Mark <6437 panah > me , and be astonished <8074 shamem > ,

and lay <7760 suwm > [ your ] hand <3027 yad > upon [ your ]

mouth <6310 peh > .

: 6 Even when <0518 >im > I remember <2142 zakar > I am afraid

<0926 bahal > , and trembling <6427 pallatsuwth > taketh <0270

: 7 . Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > do the wicked <7563 rasha< >

live <2421 chayah > , become <6275 <athaq > old <6275 <athaq > ,

yea <1571 gam > , are mighty <1396 gabar > in power <2428

: 8 Their seed <2233 zera< > is established <3559 kuwn > in

their sight <6440 paniym > with them , and their offspring

<6631 tse>etsa> > before their eyes <5869 <ayin > .

: 9 Their houses <1004 bayith > [ are ] safe <7965 shalowm >

from fear <6343 pachad > , neither <3808 lo> > [ is ] the rod

<7626 shebet > of God <0433 >elowahh > upon them .

: 10 Their bull <7794 showr > gendereth <5674 <abar > , and

faileth <1602 ga<al > not ; their cow <6510 parah > calveth

<6403 palat > , and casteth <7921 shakol > not her calf .

: 11 They send <7971 shalach > forth their little <5759 <aviyl

yeled > dance <7540 raqad > .

: 12 They take <5375 nasa> > the timbrel <8596 toph > and harp

<3658 kinnowr > , and rejoice <8055 samach > at the sound <6963

qowl > of the organ <5748 <uwgab > .

: 13 They spend <3615 kalah > their days <3117 yowm > in wealth

<2896 towb > , and in a moment <7281 rega< > go <5181 nachath >

down <5181 nachath > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl > .

: 14 Therefore they say <0559 >amar > unto God <0410 >el > ,

Depart <5493 cuwr > from us ; for we desire <2654 chaphets >

not the knowledge <1847 da<ath > of thy ways <1870 derek > .

: 15 What <4100 mah > [ is ] the Almighty <7706 Shadday > ,

that we should serve <5647 <abad > him ? and what <4100 mah >

profit <3276 ya<al > should we have , if we pray <6293 paga< >

unto him ?

: 16 Lo <2005 hen > , their good <2898 tuwb > [ is ] not in

their hand <3027 yad > : the counsel <6098 <etsah > of the

wicked <7563 rasha< > is far <7350 rachowq > from me .

: 17 . How <4100 mah > oft is the candle <5216 niyr > of the

wicked <7563 rasha< > put <1846 da<ak > out ! and [ how oft ]

cometh <0935 bow> > their destruction <0343 >eyd > upon them !

[ God ] distributeth <2505 chalaq > sorrows <2256 chebel > in

his anger <0639 >aph > .

: 18 They are as stubble <8401 teben > before <6440 paniym >

the wind <7307 ruwach > , and as chaff <4671 mots > that the

storm <5492 cuwphah > carrieth <1589 ganab > away <1589 ganab > .

: 19 God <0433 >elowahh > layeth <6845 tsaphan > up his

iniquity <0205 >aven > for his children <1121 ben > : he

rewardeth <7999 shalam > him , and he shall know <3045 yada< >

[ it ] .

: 20 His eyes <5869 <ayin > shall see <7200 ra>ah > his

destruction <3589 kiyd > , and he shall drink <8354 shathah >

of the wrath <2534 chemah > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday > .

: 21 For what <4100 mah > pleasure <2656 chephets > [ hath ]

he in his house <1004 bayith > after <0310 >achar > him , when

the number <4557 micpar > of his months <2320 chodesh > is cut

<2686 chatsats > off in the midst <2686 chatsats > ?

: 22 Shall [ any ] teach <3925 lamad > God <0410 >el >

knowledge <1847 da<ath > ? seeing he judgeth <8199 shaphat >

those that are high <7311 ruwm > .

: 23 One dieth <4191 muwth > in his full <8537 tom > strength

<6106 <etsem > , being wholly <3605 kol > at ease <7946

shal>anan > and quiet <7961 shalev > .

<2461 chalab > , and his bones <6106 <etsem > are moistened

<8248 shaqah > with marrow <4221 moach > .

: 25 And another <2088 zeh > dieth <4191 muwth > in the

bitterness <4751 mar > of his soul <5315 nephesh > , and never

<3808 lo> > eateth <0398 >akal > with pleasure <2896 towb > .

: 26 They shall lie <7901 shakab > down <7904 shakah > alike

<3162 yachad > in the dust <6083 <aphar > , and the worms <7415

rimmah > shall cover <3680 kacah > them .

: 27 . Behold <2005 hen > , I know <3045 yada< > your

thoughts <4284 machashabah > , and the devices <4209 m@zimmah >

[ which ] ye wrongfully <2554 chamac > imagine <2554 chamac >

against <5921 <al > me .

the house <1004 bayith > of the prince <5081 nadiyb > ? and

where <0346 >ayeh > [ are ] the dwelling <4908 mishkan >

places <0168 >ohel > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > ?

: 29 Have ye not asked <7592 sha>al > them that go <5674 <abar

their tokens <0226 >owth > ,

: 30 That the wicked <7451 ra< > is reserved <2820 chasak > to

the day <3117 yowm > of destruction <0343 >eyd > ? they shall

be brought <2986 yabal > forth to the day <3117 yowm > of wrath

<5678 <ebrah > .

: 31 Who <4310 miy > shall declare <5046 nagad > his way <1870

derek > to his face <6440 paniym > ? and who <4310 miy > shall

repay <7999 shalam > him [ what ] he hath done <6213 <asah > ?

: 32 Yet shall he be brought <2986 yabal > to the grave <6913

qeber > , and shall remain <8245 shaqad > in the tomb <1430

gadiysh > .

: 33 The clods <7263 regeb > of the valley <5158 nachal > shall

be sweet <4985 mathaq > unto him , and every <3605 kol > man

<0120 >adam > shall draw <4900 mashak > after <0310 >achar > him

, as [ there are ] innumerable before <6440 paniym > him .

: 34 How <0349 >eyk > then comfort <5162 nacham > ye me in vain

<1892 hebel > , seeing in your answers <8666 t@shuwbah > there

remaineth <7604 sha>ar > falsehood <4604 ma<al > ?

: Job 22

: 1 . Then Eliphaz <0464 >Eliyphaz > the Temanite <8489

Teymaniy > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Can a man <1397 geber > be profitable <5532 cakan > unto

God <0410 >el > , as he that is wise <7919 sakal > may be

profitable <5532 cakan > unto himself ?

: 3 [ Is it ] any pleasure <2656 chephets > to the Almighty

<7706 Shadday > , that thou art righteous <6663 tsadaq > ? or

[ is it ] gain <1214 batsa< > [ to him ] , that thou makest

thy ways <1870 derek > perfect <8552 tamam > ?

: 4 Will he reprove <3198 yakach > thee for fear <3374 yir>ah >

of thee ? will he enter <0935 bow> > with thee into judgment

<4941 mishpat > ?

: 5 . [ Is ] not thy wickedness <7451 ra< > great <7227 rab

: 6 For thou hast taken <2254 chabal > a pledge <2254 chabal >

from thy brother <0251 >ach > for nought <2600 chinnam > , and

stripped <6584 pashat > the naked <6174 <arowm > of their

clothing <0899 beged > .

: 7 Thou hast not given water <4325 mayim > to the weary <5889

<ayeph > to drink <8248 shaqah > , and thou hast withholden

<4513 mana< > bread <3899 lechem > from the hungry <7456 ra<eb >

: 8 But [ as for ] the mighty <2220 z@rowa< > man <0376 >iysh

dwelt <3427 yashab > in it .

: 9 Thou hast sent <7971 shalach > widows <0490 >almanah > away

empty <7387 reyqam > , and the arms <2220 z@rowa< > of the

fatherless <3490 yathowm > have been broken <1792 daka> > .

: 10 Therefore snares <6341 pach > [ are ] round <5439 cabiyb

troubleth <0926 bahal > thee ;

: 11 Or <0176 >ow > darkness <2822 choshek > , [ that ] thou

canst not see <7200 ra>ah > ; and abundance <8229 shiph<ah > of

waters <4325 mayim > cover <3680 kacah > thee .

: 12 [ Is ] not God <0433 >elowahh > in the height <1363

the height <7218 ro>sh > of the stars <3556 kowkab > , how

<3588 kiy > high <7311 ruwm > they are !

: 13 And thou sayest <0559 >amar > , How <4100 mah > doth God

<0410 >el > know <3045 yada< > ? can he judge <8199 shaphat >

through the dark <6205 <araphel > cloud <6205 <araphel > ?

<1980 halak > in the circuit <2329 chuwg > of heaven <8064

way <0734 >orach > which <0834 >aher > wicked <0205 >aven > men

<4962 math > have trodden <1869 darak > ?

overflown <3332 yatsaq > with a flood <5104 nahar > :

<7706 Shadday > do <6466 pa<al > for them ?

: 18 Yet he filled <4390 male> > their houses <1004 bayith >

with good <2896 towb > [ things ] : but the counsel <6098

shalt put away <7368 rachaq > iniquity <5766 <evel > far <7350

Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr > as the stones <6697 tsuwr > of the brooks

: Job 23

to his seat <8499 t@kuwnah > !

: 4 I would order <6186 <arak > [ my ] cause <4941 mishpat >

before <6440 paniym > him , and fill <4390 male> > my mouth

<6310 peh > with arguments <8433 towkechah > .

: 5 I would know <3045 yada< > the words <4405 millah > [

which ] he would answer <6030 <anah > me , and understand

<0995 biyn > what <4100 mah > he would say <0559 >amar > unto me

: 6 Will he plead <7378 riyb > against <5978 <immad > me with

[ his ] great <7227 rab > power <3581 koach > ? No <3808 lo> >

; but he would put <7760 suwm > [ strength ] in me .

: 7 There <8033 sham > the righteous <3477 yashar > might

dispute <3198 yakach > with him ; so should I be delivered

<6403 palat > for ever <5331 netsach > from my judge <8199

: 8 . Behold <2005 hen > , I go <1980 halak > forward <6924

backward <0268 >achowr > , but I cannot <3808 lo> > perceive

<3045 yada< > him :

: 9 On the left <8040 s@mo>wl > hand <8040 s@mo>wl > , where

he doth work <6213 <asah > , but I cannot <3808 lo> > behold

<2372 chazah > [ him ] : he hideth <5848 <ataph > himself on

the right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > , that I cannot

<3808 lo> > see <7200 ra>ah > [ him ] :

: 10 But he knoweth <3045 yada< > the way <1870 derek > that I

take <5978 <immad > : [ when ] he hath tried <0974 bachan > me

: 13 . But he [ is ] in one <0259 >echad > [ mind ] , and

who <4310 miy > can turn <7725 shuwb > him ? and [ what ] his

soul <5315 nephesh > desireth <0183 >avah > , even [ that ]

he doeth <6213 <asah > .

appointed <2706 choq > for me : and many <7227 rab > such <2007

: 15 Therefore am I troubled <0926 bahal > at his presence

<6440 paniym > : when I consider <0995 biyn > , I am afraid

<6342 pachad > of him .

: 16 For God <0410 >el > maketh my heart <3820 leb > soft <7401

: 17 Because <3588 kiy > I was not cut <6780 tsemach > off

: Job 24

the fatherless <3490 yathowm > , they take <2254 chabal > the

widow s <0490 >almanah > ox <7794 showr > for a pledge <2254

hide <2244> themselves together <3162 yachad > .

of the mountains <2022 har > , and embrace <2263 chabaq > the

rock <6697 tsuwr > for want <1097 b@liy > of a shelter <4268

: 9 They pluck <1497 gazal > the fatherless <3490 yathowm >

from the breast <7699 shad > , and take <2254 chabal > a pledge

<2254 chabal > of the poor <6041 <aniy > .

: 10 They cause [ him ] to go <1980 halak > naked <6174

they take <5375 nasa> > away the sheaf <6016 <omer > [ from ]

: 14 The murderer <7523 ratsach > rising <7925 shakam > with

the light <0216 >owr > killeth <6991 qatal > the poor <6041

: 16 In the dark <2822 choshek > they dig <2864 chathar >

through <2864 chathar > houses <1004 bayith > , [ which ]

they had marked <2856 chatham > for themselves in the daytime

<3119 yowmam > : they know <3045 yada< > not the light <0216

: 17 For the morning <1242 boqer > [ is ] to them even as the

his thick clouds <5645 <ab > ; and the cloud <6051 <anan > is

not rent <1234 baqa< > under <5921 <al > them .

the silver <3701 keceph > , and a place <4725 maqowm > for gold

<2091 zahab > [ where ] they fine <2212 zaqaq > [ it ] .

: 2 Iron <1270 barzel > is taken <3947 laqach > out of the

earth <6083 <aphar > , and brass <5154 n@chuwshah > [ is ]

molten <6694 tsuwq > [ out of ] the stone <68> .

: 3 He setteth <7760 suwm > an end <7093 qets > to darkness

<2822 choshek > , and searcheth <2713 chaqar > out all <3605

kol > perfection <8503 takliyth > : the stones <68> of darkness

<0652 >ophel > , and the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death

<6757 tsalmaveth > .

: 4 The flood <5158 nachal > breaketh <6555 parats > out from

the inhabitant <1481 guwr > ; [ even the waters ] forgotten

<7911 shakach > of the foot <7272 regel > : they are dried <1809

dalal > up , they are gone <5128 nuwa< > away from men <0582

>enowsh > .

: 5 [ As for ] the earth <0776 >erets > , out of it cometh

<3318 yatsa> > bread <3899 lechem > : and under <8478 tachath >

it is turned <2015 haphak > up as it were fire <0784 >esh > .

: 6 The stones <68> of it [ are ] the place <4725 maqowm > of

sapphires <5601 cappiyr > : and it hath dust <6083 <aphar > of

gold <2091 zahab > .

: 7 [ There is ] a path <5410 nathiyb > which no <3808 lo> >

fowl <5861 <ayit > knoweth <3045 yada< > , and which the

vulture s <0344 >ayah > eye <5869 <ayin > hath not seen <7805

shazaph > :

: 8 The lion s <7830 shachats > whelps <1121 ben > have not

trodden <1869 darak > it , nor <3808 lo> > the fierce <7826

shachal > lion <7826 shachal > passed <5710 <adah > by it .

: 9 He putteth <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > his hand

<3027 yad > upon the rock <2496 challamiysh > ; he overturneth

<2015 haphak > the mountains <2022 har > by the roots <8328

sheresh > .

: 10 He cutteth <1234 baqa< > out rivers <2975 y@<or > among

the rocks <6697 tsuwr > ; and his eye <5869 <ayin > seeth <7200

ra>ah > every <3605 kol > precious <3366 y@qar > thing .

: 11 He bindeth <2280 chabash > the floods <5104 nahar > from

overflowing <1065 B@kiy > ; and [ the thing that is ] hid

<8587 ta<alummah > bringeth <3318 yatsa> > he forth <3318 yatsa>

> to light <0216 >owr > .

: 12 But where <0370 >aiyn > shall wisdom <2451 chokmah > be

found <4672 matsa> > ? and where [ is ] the place <4725

maqowm > of understanding <0998 biynah > ?

: 13 Man <0582 >enowsh > knoweth <3045 yada< > not the price

<6187 <erek > thereof ; neither <3808 lo> > is it found <4672

matsa> > in the land <0776 >erets > of the living <2416 chay > .

: 14 . The depth <8415 t@howm > saith <0559 >amar > , It [

is ] not in me : and the sea <3220 yam > saith <0559 >amar > ,

[ It is ] not with me .

: 15 It cannot <3808 lo> > be gotten <5414 nathan > for gold

<5458 c@gowr > , neither <3808 lo> > shall silver <3701 keceph

> be weighed <8254 shaqal > [ for ] the price <4242 m@chiyr >

thereof .

: 16 It cannot <3808 lo> > be valued <5541 calah > with the

gold <3800 kethem > of Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr > , with the

precious <3368 yaqar > onyx <7718 shoham > , or the sapphire

<5601 cappiyr > .

: 17 The gold <2091 zahab > and the crystal <2137 z@kuwkiyth >

cannot <3808 lo> > equal <6186 <arak > it : and the exchange

<8545 t@muwrah > of it [ shall not be for ] jewels <3627 k@liy

> of fine gold <6337 paz > .

: 18 No <3808 lo> > mention <2142 zakar > shall be made of

coral <7215 ra>mah > , or of pearls <1378 gabiysh > : for the

price <4901 meshek > of wisdom <2451 chokmah > [ is ] above

rubies <6443 paniyn > .

: 19 The topaz <6357 pitdah > of Ethiopia <3568 Kuwsh > shall

not equal <6186 <arak > it , neither <3808 lo> > shall it be

valued <5541 calah > with pure <2889 tahowr > gold <3800 kethem

> .

: 20 . Whence <0370 >aiyn > then cometh <0935 bow> > wisdom

<2451 chokmah > ? and where <0335 >ay > [ is ] the place

<4725 maqowm > of understanding <0998 biynah > ?

: 21 Seeing it is hid <5956 <alam > from the eyes <5869 <ayin >

of all <3605 kol > living <2416 chay > , and kept <5641 cathar

> close <5641 cathar > from the fowls <5775 <owph > of the air

<8064 shamayim > .

: 22 Destruction <11> and death <4194 maveth > say <0559 >amar

> , We have heard <8085 shama< > the fame <8088 shema< >

thereof with our ears <0241 >ozen > .

: 23 God <0430 >elohiym > understandeth <0995 biyn > the way

<1870 derek > thereof , and he knoweth <3045 yada< > the place

<4725 maqowm > thereof .

: 24 For he looketh <5027 nabat > to the ends <7098 qatsah > of

the earth <0776 >erets > , [ and ] seeth <7200 ra>ah > under

<8478 tachath > the whole <3605 kol > heaven <8064 shamayim > ;

: 25 To make <6213 <asah > the weight <4948 mishqal > for the

winds <7307 ruwach > ; and he weigheth <8505 takan > the waters

<4325 mayim > by measure <4060 middah > .

: 26 When he made <6213 <asah > a decree <2706 choq > for the

rain <4306 matar > , and a way <1870 derek > for the lightning

<2385 chaziyz > of the thunder <6963 qowl > :

: 27 Then <0227 >az > did he see <7200 ra>ah > it , and

declare <5608 caphar > it ; he prepared <3559 kuwn > it , yea

<1571 gam > , and searched <2713 chaqar > it out .

: 28 And unto man <0120 >adam > he said <0559 >amar > , Behold

<2005 hen > , the fear <3374 yir>ah > of the Lord <0136 >Adonay

> , that [ is ] wisdom <2451 chokmah > ; and to depart <5493

cuwr > from evil <7451 ra< > [ is ] understanding <0998 biynah

> .

: Job 29

: 1 . Moreover Job <0347 >Iyowb > continued <3254 yacaph > his

parable <4912 mashal > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Oh that I were as [ in ] months <3391 yerach > past <6924

qedem > , as [ in ] the days <3117 yowm > [ when ] God

<0433 >elowahh > preserved <8104 shamar > me ;

: 3 When his candle <5216 niyr > shined <1984 halal > upon my

head <7218 ro>sh > , [ and when ] by his light <0216 >owr > I

walked <3212 yalak > [ through ] darkness <2822 choshek > ;

: 4 As I was in the days <3117 yowm > of my youth <2779 choreph

> , when the secret <5475 cowd > of God <0433 >elowahh > [ was

] upon my tabernacle <0168 >ohel > ;

: 5 When <5750 <owd > the Almighty <7706 Shadday > [ was ]

yet <5750 <owd > with me , [ when ] my children <5288 na<ar >

[ were ] about <5439 cabiyb > me ;

: 6 When I washed <7364 rachats > my steps <1978 haliyk > with

butter <2529 chem>ah > , and the rock <6697 tsuwr > poured

<6694 tsuwq > me out rivers <6388 peleg > of oil <8081 shemen > ;

: 7 . When I went <3318 yatsa> > out to the gate <8179 sha<ar

> through <5921 <al > the city <7176 qereth > , [ when ] I

prepared <3559 kuwn > my seat <4186 mowshab > in the street

<7339 r@chob > !

: 8 The young <5288 na<ar > men saw <7200 ra>ah > me , and hid

<2244> themselves : and the aged <2205 zaqen > arose <6965 quwm

> , [ and ] stood <5975 <amad > up .

: 9 The princes <8269 sar > refrained <6113 <atsar > talking

<4405 millah > , and laid <7760 suwm > [ their ] hand <3709

kaph > on their mouth <6310 peh > .

: 10 The nobles <5057 nagiyd > held <2244> their peace <6963

qowl > , and their tongue <3956 lashown > cleaved <1692 dabaq >

to the roof <2441 chek > of their mouth <2441 chek > .

: 11 When <3588 kiy > the ear <0241 >ozen > heard <8085 shama<

> [ me ] , then it blessed <0833 >ashar > me ; and when the

eye <5869 <ayin > saw <7200 ra>ah > [ me ] , it gave witness

<5749 <uwd > to me :

: 12 Because <3588 kiy > I delivered <4422 malat > the poor

<6041 <aniy > that cried <7768 shava< > , and the fatherless

<3490 yathowm > , and [ him that had ] none <3808 lo> > to

help <5826 <azar > him .

: 13 The blessing <1293 B@rakah > of him that was ready to

perish <6> came <0935 bow> > upon me : and I caused the widow s

<0490 >almanah > heart <3820 leb > to sing <7442 ranan > for joy

<7442 ranan > .

: 14 I put <3847 labash > on righteousness <6664 tsedeq > ,

and it clothed <3847 labash > me : my judgment <4941 mishpat >

[ was ] as a robe <4598 m@<iyl > and a diadem <6797 tsaniyph > .

: 15 I was eyes <5869 <ayin > to the blind <5787 <ivver > ,

and feet <7272 regel > [ was ] I to the lame <6455 picceach > .

: 16 I [ was ] a father <1> to the poor <34> : and the cause

<7379 riyb > [ which ] I knew <3045 yada< > not I searched

<2713 chaqar > out .

: 17 And I brake <7665 shabar > the jaws <4973 m@thall@<ah > of

the wicked <5767 <avval > , and plucked <7993 shalak > the

spoil <2964 tereph > out of his teeth <8127 shen > .

: 18 . Then I said <0559 >amar > , I shall die <1478 gava< >

in my nest <7064 qen > , and I shall multiply <7235 rabah > [

my ] days <3117 yowm > as the sand <2344 chowl > .

: 19 My root <8328 sheresh > [ was ] spread <6605 pathach >

out by the waters <4325 mayim > , and the dew <2919 tal > lay

<3885 luwn > all <3885 luwn > night upon my branch <7105 qatsiyr

> .

: 20 My glory <3519 kabowd > [ was ] fresh <2319 chadash > in

me , and my bow <7198 qesheth > was renewed <2498 chalaph > in

my hand <3027 yad > .

: 21 Unto me [ men ] gave ear <8085 shama< > , and waited

<3176 yachal > , and kept silence <1826 damam > at <3926 l@mow

> my counsel <6098 <etsah > .

: 22 After <0310 >achar > my words <1697 dabar > they spake not

again <3138 yowreh > ; and my speech <4405 millah > dropped

<5197 nataph > upon them .

: 23 And they waited <3176 yachal > for me as for the rain

<4306 matar > ; and they opened <6473 pa<ar > their mouth <6310

peh > wide [ as ] for the latter <4456 malqowsh > rain <4456

malqowsh > .

: 24 [ If ] I laughed <7832 sachaq > on <0413 >el > them ,

they believed <0539 >aman > [ it ] not ; and the light <0216

>owr > of my countenance <6440 paniym > they cast <5307 naphal >

not down <5307 naphal > .

: 25 I chose <0977 bachar > out their way <1870 derek > , and

sat <3427 yashab > chief <7218 ro>sh > , and dwelt <7931 shakan

> as a king <4428 melek > in the army <1416 g@duwd > , as one

[ that ] comforteth <5162 nacham > the mourners <57> .

: Job 30

: 1 . But now <6258 <attah > [ they that are ] younger than

I have me in derision <7832 sachaq > , whose <0834 >aher >

fathers <1> I would have disdained <3988 ma>ac > to have set

<7896 shiyth > with the dogs <3611 keleb > of my flock <6629

tso>n > .

: 2 Yea <1571 gam > , whereto <4100 mah > [ might ] the

strength <3581 koach > of their hands <3027 yad > [ profit ]

me , in whom <5921 <al > old age <3624 kelach > was perished

<6> ?

: 3 For want <2639 checer > and famine <3720 kaphan > [ they

were ] solitary <1565 galmuwd > ; fleeing <6207 <araq > into

the wilderness <6723 tsiyah > in former <0570 >emesh > time

<0570 >emesh > desolate <7722 show> > and waste <4875 m@show>ah

> .

: 4 Who cut <6998 qataph > up mallows <4408 malluwach > by the

bushes <7880 siyach > , and juniper <7574 rethem > roots <8328

sheresh > [ for ] their meat <3899 lechem > .

: 5 They were driven <1644 garash > forth from among <1460 gev

> [ men ] , ( they cried <7321 ruwa< > after <5921 <al >

them as [ after <5921 <al > ] a thief <1590 gannab > ; )

: 6 To dwell <7931 shakan > in the clifts <6178 <aruwts > of

the valleys <5158 nachal > , [ in ] caves <2356 chowr > of

the earth <6083 <aphar > , and [ in ] the rocks <3710 keph > .

: 7 Among <0996 beyn > the bushes <7880 siyach > they brayed

<5101 nahaq > ; under <8478 tachath > the nettles <2738 charuwl

> they were gathered <5596 caphach > together .

: 8 [ They were ] children <1121 ben > of fools <5036 nabal >

, yea <1571 gam > , children <1121 ben > of base men : they

were viler <5217 naka> > than <4480 min > the earth <0776 >erets

> .

: 9 And now <6258 <attah > am I their song <5058 n@giynah > ,

yea , I am their byword <4405 millah > .

: 10 They abhor <8581 ta<ab > me , they flee <7368 rachaq >

far <7350 rachowq > from me , and spare <2820 chasak > not to

spit <7536 roq > in my face <6440 paniym > .

: 11 Because <3588 kiy > he hath loosed <6605 pathach > my cord

<3499 yether > , and afflicted <6031 <anah > me , they have

also let loose <7971 shalach > the bridle <7448 recen > before

<6440 paniym > me .

: 12 Upon [ my ] right <3225 yamiyn > [ hand <3225 yamiyn >

] rise <6965 quwm > the youth <6526 pirchach > ; they push

<7971 shalach > away my feet <7272 regel > , and they raise

<5549 calal > up against <5921 <al > me the ways <0734 >orach >

of their destruction <0343 >eyd > .

: 13 They mar <5420 nathac > my path <5410 nathiyb > , they

set forward <3276 ya<al > my calamity <1942 havvah > , they

have no <3808 lo> > helper <5826 <azar > .

: 14 They came <0857 >athah > [ upon me ] as a wide <7342

rachab > breaking <6556 perets > in [ of waters ] : in the

desolation <7722 show> > they rolled <1556 galal > themselves [

upon me ] .

: 15 . Terrors <1091 ballahah > are turned <2015 haphak > upon

me : they pursue <7291 radaph > my soul <5082 n@diybah > as the

wind <7307 ruwach > : and my welfare <3444 y@shuw<ah > passeth

<5674 <abar > away as a cloud <5645 <ab > .

: 16 And now <6258 <attah > my soul <5315 nephesh > is poured

<8210 shaphak >out upon me ; the days <3117 yowm > of

affliction <6040 <oniy > have taken <0270 >achaz > hold <0270

>achaz > upon me .

: 17 My bones <6106 <etsem > are pierced <5365 naqar > in me in

the night <3915 layil > season : and my sinews <6207 <araq >

take <7901 shakab > no <3808 lo> > rest <7901 shakab > .

: 18 By the great <7227 rab > force <3581 koach > [ of my

disease ] is my garment <3830 l@buwsh > changed <2664 chaphas >

: it bindeth <0247 >azar > me about <0247 >azar > as the collar

<6310 peh > of my coat <3801 k@thoneth > .

: 19 He hath cast <3384 yarah > me into the mire <2563 chomer >

, and I am become <4911 mashal > like <4911 mashal > dust <6083

<aphar > and ashes <0665 >epher > .

: 20 I cry <7768 shava< > unto thee , and thou dost not hear

<6030 <anah > me : I stand <5975 <amad > up , and thou

regardest <0995 biyn > me [ not ] .

: 21 Thou art become <2015 haphak > cruel <0393 >akzar > to me :

with thy strong <6108 <otsem > hand <3027 yad > thou opposest

<7852 satam > thyself against me .

: 22 Thou liftest <5375 nasa> > me up to the wind <7307 ruwach

> ; thou causest me to ride <7392 rakab > [ upon it ] , and

dissolvest <4127 muwg > my substance <7738 shavah > .

: 23 For I know <3045 yada< > [ that ] thou wilt bring <7725

shuwb > me [ to ] death <4194 maveth > , and [ to ] the

house <1004 bayith > appointed <4150 mow<ed > for all <3605 kol

> living <2416 chay > .

: 24 Howbeit he will not stretch <7971 shalach > out [ his ]

hand <3027 yad > to the grave <1164 b@<iy > , though <0518 >im

> they cry <7769 shuwa< > in his destruction <6365 piyd > .

: 25 Did not I weep <1058 bakah > for him that was in trouble ?

was [ not ] my soul <5315 nephesh > grieved <5701 <agam > for

the poor <34> ?

: 26 When <3588 kiy > I looked <6960 qavah > for good <2896

towb > , then evil <7451 ra< > came <0935 bow> > [ unto me ] :

and when I waited <3176 yachal > for light <0216 >owr > ,

there came <0935 bow> > darkness <0652 >ophel > .

: 27 My bowels <4578 me<ah > boiled <7570 rathach > , and

rested <1826 damam > not : the days <3117 yowm > of affliction

<6040 <oniy > prevented <6923 qadam > me .

: 28 I went <1980 halak > mourning <6937 qadar > without <3808

lo> > the sun <2535 chammah > : I stood <6965 quwm > up , [

and ] I cried <7768 shava< > in the congregation <6951 qahal > .

: 29 I am a brother <0251 >ach > to dragons <8577 tanniyn > ,

and a companion <7453 rea< > to owls .

: 30 My skin <5785 <owr > is black <7835 shachar > upon me ,

and my bones <6106 <etsem > are burned <2787 charar > with heat

<2721 choreb > .

: 31 My harp <3658 kinnowr > also is [ turned ] to mourning

<60> , and my organ <5748 <uwgab > into the voice <6963 qowl >

of them that weep <1058 bakah > .

: Job 31

: 1 . I made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with

mine eyes <5869 <ayin > ; why <4100 mah > then should I think

<0995 biyn > upon a maid <1330 b@thuwlah > ?

: 2 For what <4100 mah > portion <2506 cheleq > of God <0433

>elowahh > [ is there ] from above <4605 ma<al > ? and [

what ] inheritance <5159 nachalah > of the Almighty <7706

Shadday > from on high <4791 marowm > ?

: 3 [ Is ] not destruction <0343 >eyd > to the wicked <5767

<avval > ? and a strange <5235 neker > [ punishment ] to the

workers <6466 pa<al > of iniquity <0205 >aven > ?

: 4 Doth not he see <7200 ra>ah > my ways <1870 derek > , and

count <5608 caphar > all <3605 kol > my steps <6806 tsa<ad > ?

: 5 If <0518 >im > I have walked <1980 halak > with vanity

<7723 shav> > , or if my foot <7272 regel > hath hasted <2363

chuwsh > to deceit <4820 mirmah > ;

: 6 Let me be weighed <8254 shaqal > in an even <6664 tsedeq >

balance <3976mo>zen > , that God <0433 >elowahh > may know

<3045 yada< > mine integrity <8538 tummah > .

: 7 If <0518 >im > my step <0838 >ashur > hath turned <5186

natah > out of the way <1870 derek > , and mine heart <3820 leb

> walked <1980 halak > after <0310 >achar > mine eyes <5869

<ayin > , and if any blot <3971 m>uwm > hath cleaved <1692

dabaq > to mine hands <3709 kaph > ;

: 8 [ Then ] let me sow <2232 zara< > , and let another

<0312 >acher > eat <0398 >akal > ; yea , let my offspring

<6631 tse>etsa> > be rooted <8327 sharash > out .

: 9 . If <0518 >im > mine heart <3820 leb > have been deceived

<6601 pathah > by a woman <0802 >ishshah > , or [ if ] I have

laid wait <0693 >arab > at <5921 <al > my neighbour s <7453 rea<

: 10 [ Then ] let my wife <0802 >ishshah > grind <2912 tachan

> unto another <0312 >acher > , and let others <0312 >acher >

bow <3766 kara< > down <3766 kara< > upon her .

: 11 For this <1931 huw> > [ is ] an heinous <2154 zimmah >

crime <2154 zimmah > ; yea , it [ is ] an iniquity <5771

<avon > [ to be punished by ] the judges <6414 paliyl > .

: 12 For it [ is ] a fire <0784 >esh > [ that ] consumeth

<0398 >akal > to destruction <11> , and would root <8327

sharash > out all <3605 kol > mine increase <8393 t@buw>ah > .

The words <1697 dabar > of Job <0347 >Iyowb > are ended <8552

: Job 32

: 1 . So these <0428 >el - leh > three <7969 shalowsh > men

<0582 >enowsh > ceased <7673 shabath > to answer <6030 <anah >

Job <0347 >Iyowb > , because <3588 kiy > he [ was ] righteous

<6662 tsaddiyq > in his own eyes <5869 <ayin > .

: 2 Then was kindled <2734 charah > the wrath <0639 >aph > of

Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > the son <1121 ben > of Barachel <1292

Barak>el > the Buzite <0940 Buwziy > , of the kindred <4940

mishpachah > of Ram <7410 Ram > : against Job <0347 >Iyowb > was

his wrath <0639 >aph > kindled <2734 charah > , because <5921

than <4480 min > God <0430 >elohiym > .

: 3 Also against his three <7969 shalowsh > friends <7453 rea<

they had found <4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > answer <4617

<0347 >Iyowb > .

: 4 Now Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > had waited <2442 chakah > till

Job <0347 >Iyowb > had spoken <1697 dabar > , because <3588 kiy

<6310 peh > of [ these ] three <7969 shalowsh > men <0582

: 6 . And Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > the son <1121 ben > of

Barachel <1292 Barak>el > the Buzite <0940 Buwziy > answered

<6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > , I [ am ] young , and

ye [ are ] very <3453 yashiysh > old <3453 yashiysh > ;

wherefore I was afraid <2119 zachal > , and durst <3372 yare> >

not shew <2331 chavah > you mine opinion <1843 dea< > .

chavah > mine opinion <1843 dea< > .

: 11 Behold <2005 hen > , I waited <3176 yachal > for your

<8394 tabuwn > , whilst <5704 <ad > ye searched <2713 chaqar >

out what to say <4405 millah > .

: 12 Yea , I attended <0995 biyn > unto you , and , behold

<2009 hinneh > , [ there was ] none <0369 >ayin > of you that

convinced <3198 yakach > Job <0347 >Iyowb > , [ or ] that

answered <6030 <anah > his words <0561 >emer > :

: 13 Lest <6435 pen > ye should say <0559 >amar > , We have

found <4672 matsa> > out wisdom <2451 chokmah > : God <0410 >el

<4405 millah > against <0413 >el > me : neither <3808 lo> > will

I answer <7725 shuwb > him with your speeches <0561 >emer > .

: 15 . They were amazed <2865 chathath > , they answered

<6030 <anah > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > : they left <6275

<athaq > off speaking <4405 millah > .

: 16 When I had waited <3176 yachal > , ( for they spake

<1696 dabar > not , but stood <5975 <amad > still <5975 <amad >

<2331 chavah > mine opinion <1843 dea< > .

: 18 For I am full <4390 male> > of matter <4405 millah > ,

the spirit <7307 ruwach > within <0990 beten > me constraineth

<6693 tsuwq > me .

: 19 Behold <2009 hinneh > , my belly <0990 beten > [ is ]

as wine <3196 yayin > [ which ] hath no <3808 lo> > vent <6605

<7304 ravach > : I will open <6605 pathach > my lips <8193

: 22 For I know <3045 yada< > not to give flattering <3665

soon <4592 m@<at > take <5375 nasa> > me away .

: 4 The Spirit <7307 ruwach > of God <0410 >el > hath made

<6213 <asah > me , and the breath <5397 n@shamah > of the

Almighty <7706 Shadday > hath given me life <2421 chayah > .

mine hearing <0241 >ozen > , and I have heard <8085 shama< >

the voice <6963 qowl > of [ thy ] words <4405 millah > , [

my paths <0734 >orach > .

: 12 Behold <2005 hen > , [ in ] this <2063 zo>th > thou art

not just <6663 tsadaq > : I will answer <6030 <anah > thee ,

that God <0433 >elowahh > is greater <7235 rabah > than man

ye men <0582 >enowsh > of understanding <3824 lebab > : far

<2486 chaliylah > be it from God <0410 >el > , [ that he

<3605 kol > his goings <6806 tsa<ad > .

: 22 [ There is ] no <0369 >ayin > darkness <2822 choshek > ,

iniquity <0205 >aven > may hide <5641 cathar > themselves .

: 23 For he will not lay <7760 suwm > upon man <0376 >iysh >

more <5750 <owd > [ than right <4941 mishpat > ] ; that he

should enter <1980 halak > into judgment <4941 mishpat > with

: 26 He striketh <5606 caphaq > them as wicked <7563 rasha< >

men in the open <4725 maqowm > sight <7200 ra>ah > of others ;

: 27 Because they turned <5493 cuwr > back <5493 cuwr > from

: 28 So that they cause the cry <6818 tsa<aqah > of the poor

<1800 dal > to come <0935 bow> > unto him , and he heareth

<8085 shama< > the cry <6818 tsa<aqah > of the afflicted <6041

<5921 <al > a nation <1471 gowy > , or against <5921 <al > a

: 30 That the hypocrite <2611 chaneph > reign <4427 malak > not

: 31 . Surely <3588 kiy > it is meet to be said <0559 >amar >

unto God <0410 >el > , I have borne <5375 nasa> > [

: 36 My desire <15> [ is that ] Job <0347 >Iyowb > may be

<al > of [ his ] answers <8666 t@shuwbah > for wicked <0205

: 37 For he addeth <3254 yacaph > rebellion <6588 pesha< > unto

his words <0561 >emer > against God <0410 >el > .

: Job 35

: 1 . Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > spake <6030 <anah > moreover ,

: 2 Thinkest <2803 chashab > thou this <2063 zo>th > to be

My righteousness <6664 tsedeq > [ is ] more <3254 yacaph >

: 9 . By reason of the multitude <7230 rob > of oppressions

<6217 <ashuwq > they make [ the oppressed ] to cry <2199 za<aq

: 15 But now <6258 <attah > , because <3588 kiy > [ it is ]

not [ so ] , he hath visited <6485 paqad > in his anger <0639

<3966 m@<od > extremity <6580 pash > :

: 16 Therefore doth Job <0347 >Iyowb > open <6475 patsah > his

mouth <6310 peh > in vain <1892 hebel > ; he multiplieth <3527

kabar > words <4405 millah > without <1097 b@liy > knowledge

<1847 da<ath > .

: Job 36

: 1 . Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > also proceeded <3254 yacaph > ,

and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Suffer <3803 kathar > me a little <2191 ze<eyr > , and I

will shew <2331 chavah > thee that [ I have ] yet <5750 <owd >

to speak <4405 millah > on God s <0433 >elowahh > behalf .

: 3 I will fetch <5375 nasa> > my knowledge <1843 dea< > from

afar <7350 rachowq > , and will ascribe <5414 nathan >

righteousness <6664 tsedeq > to my Maker <6466 pa<al > .

: 4 For truly <0551 >omnam > my words <4405 millah > [ shall ]

not [ be ] false <8267 sheqer > : he that is perfect <8549

tamiym > in knowledge <1844 de<ah > [ is ] with thee .

: 5 . Behold <2005 hen > , God <0410 >el > [ is ] mighty

<3524 kabbiyr > , and despiseth <3988 ma>ac > not [ any : he

is ] mighty <3524 kabbiyr > in strength <3581 koach > [ and ]

wisdom <3820 leb > .

: 6 He preserveth <2421 chayah > not the life <2421 chayah > of

the wicked <7563 rasha< > : but giveth <5414 nathan > right

<4941 mishpat > to the poor <6041 <aniy > .

: 7 He withdraweth <1639 gara< > not his eyes <5869 <ayin >

from the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > : but with kings <4428 melek

establish <3427 yashab > them for ever <5331 netsach > , and

they are exalted <1361 gabahh > .

: 8 And if <0518 >im > [ they be ] bound <0631 >acar > in

fetters <2131 ziyqah > , [ and ] be holden <3920 lakad > in

cords <2256 chebel > of affliction <6040 <oniy > ;

: 9 Then he sheweth <5046 nagad > them their work <6467 po<al >

, and their transgressions <6588 pesha< > that they have

exceeded <1396 gabar > .

: 10 He openeth <1540 galah > also their ear <0241 >ozen > to

discipline <4148 muwcar > , and commandeth <0559 >amar > that

they return <7725 shuwb > from iniquity <0205 >aven > .

: 11 If <0518 >im > they obey <8085 shama< > and serve <5647

<abad > [ him ] , they shall spend <3615 kalah > their days

<3117 yowm > in prosperity <2896 towb > , and their years <8141

shaneh > in pleasures <5273 na<iym > .

: 12 But if <0518 >im > they obey <8085 shama< > not , they

shall perish <5674 <abar > by the sword <7973 shelach > , and

they shall die <1478 gava< > without <1097 b@liy > knowledge

<1847 da<ath > .

: 13 But the hypocrites <2611 chaneph > in heart <3820 leb >

heap <7760 suwm > up wrath <0639 >aph > : they cry <7768 shava<

: 14 They die <4191 muwth > in youth <5290 no<ar > , and their

life <2416 chay > [ is ] among the unclean <6945 qadesh > .

: 15 . He delivereth <2502 chalats > the poor <6041 <aniy > in

his affliction <6040 <oniy > , and openeth <1540 galah > their

ears <0241 >ozen > in oppression <3906 lachats > .

: 16 Even so would he have removed <5493 cuwr > thee out of the

strait <6862 tsar > [ into ] a broad <7338 rachab > place ,

where [ there is ] no <3808 lo> > straitness <4164 muwtsaq > ;

and that which should be set <5183 Nachath > on thy table <7979

shulchan > [ should be ] full <4390 male> > of fatness <1880

justice <4941 mishpat > take <8551 tamak > hold <8551 tamak > [

on thee ] .

: 18 Because <3588 kiy > [ there is ] wrath <2534 chemah > ,

[ beware ] lest <6435 pen > he take <5496 cuwth > thee away

<5496 cuwth > with [ his ] stroke <5607 cepheq > : then a

great <7227 rab > ransom <3724 kopher > cannot <3808 lo> >

deliver <5186 natah > thee .

: 19 Will he esteem <6186 <arak > thy riches <7769 shuwa< > ?

[ no <3808 lo> > ] , not gold <1222 b@tsar > , nor <3808 lo>

<8478 tachath > .

: 21 Take heed <8104 shamar > , regard <6437 panah > not

iniquity <0205 >aven > : for this <2088 zeh > hast thou chosen

<0970 bachuwr > rather than affliction <6040 <oniy > .

: 22 Behold <2005 hen > , God <0410 >el > exalteth <7682 sagab

his work <6467 po<al > , which <0834 >aher > men <0582 >enowsh

<3808 lo> > can the number <4557 micpar > of his years <8141

light <0216 >owr > ; and commandeth <6680 tsavah > it [ not to

shine ] by [ the cloud ] that cometh <6293 paga< > betwixt

out of his place <4725 maqowm > .

: 2 Hear <8085 shama< > attentively <8085 shama< > the noise

<7267 rogez > ofhis voice <6963 qowl > , and the sound <1899

things doeth <6213 <asah > he , which we cannot <0408 >al >

comprehend <3045 yada< > .

Be thou [ on ] the earth <0776 >erets > ; likewise to the

small rain <1653 geshem > , and to the great <4306 matar > rain

whirlwind <5492 cuwphah > : and cold <7135 qarah > out of the

abase <8213 shaphel > him .

: 12 Look <7200 ra>ah > on every <3605 kol > one [ that is ]

proud <1343 ge>eh > , [ and ] bring <3665 kana< > him low

<3665 kana< > ; and tread <1915 hadak > down the wicked <7563

rasha< > in their place <8478 tachath > .

: 13 Hide <2934 taman > them in the dust <6083 <aphar >

together <3162 yachad > ; [ and ] bind <2280 chabash > their

faces <6440 paniym > in secret <2934 taman > .

: 14 Then will I also <1571 gam > confess <3034 yadah > unto

thee that thine own right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > can

save <3467 yasha< > thee .

: 15 . Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > behemoth <0930

b@hemowth > , which <0834 >aher > I made <6213 <asah > with

thee ; he eateth <0398 >akal > grass <2682 chatsiyr > as an ox

<1241 baqar > .

: 16 Lo <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > , his strength <3581

koach > [ is ] in his loins <4975 mothen > , and his force

<0202 >own > [ is ] in the navel <8306 shariyr > of his belly

<0990 beten > .

: 17 He moveth <2654 chaphets > his tail <2180 zanab > like

<3644 k@mow > a cedar <0730 >erez > : the sinews <1517 giyd > of

his stones <6344 pachad > are wrapped <8276 sarag > together .

: 18 His bones <6106 <etsem > [ are as ] strong <0650 >aphiyq

> pieces of brass <5154 n@chuwshah > ; his bones <1634 gerem >

[ are ] like bars <4800 merchab > of iron <1270 barzel > .

: 19 He [ is ] the chief <7725 shuwb > of the ways <1870

derek > of God <0410 >el > : he that made <6213 <asah > him can

make his sword <2719 chereb > to approach <5066 nagash > [ unto

him ] .

: 20 Surely <3588 kiy > the mountains <2022 har > bring <5375

nasa> > him forth food <0944 buwl > , where <8033 sham > all

<3605 kol > the beasts <2416 chay > of the field <7704 sadeh >

play <7832 sachaq > .

: 21 He lieth <7901 shakab > under <8478 tachath > the shady

<6628 tse>el > trees , in the covert <5643 cether > of the reed

<7070 qaneh > , and fens <1207 bitstsah > .

: 22 The shady <6628 tse>el > trees cover <5526 cakak > him [

with ] their shadow <6752 tselel > ; the willows <6155 <arab >

of the brook <5158 nachal > compass <5437 cabab > him about .

: 23 Behold <2005 hen > , he drinketh <6231 <ashaq > up a

river <5104 nahar > , [ and ] hasteth <2648 chaphaz > not :

he trusteth <0982 batach > that he can draw <1518 giyach > up

Jordan <3383 Yarden > into <0413 >el > his mouth <6310 peh > .

: 24 He taketh <3947 laqach > it with his eyes <5869 <ayin > :

[ his ] nose <0639 >aph > pierceth <5344 naqab > through snares

<4170 mowqesh > .

: Job 41

: 1 . Canst thou draw <4900 mashak > out leviathan <3882

livyathan > with an hook <0100 >agmown > ? or his tongue <3956

lashown > with a cord <2256 chebel > [ which ] thou lettest

<8257 shaqa< > down <8257 shaqa< > ?

: 2 Canst thou put <7760 suwm > an hook <2443 chakkah > into

his nose <0639 >aph > ? or bore <5344 naqab > his jaw <3895

l@chiy > through with a thorn <2336 chowach > ?

: 3 Will he make many <7235 rabah > supplications <8469

tachanuwn > unto thee ? will he speak <1696 dabar > soft <7390

rak > [ words ] unto thee ?

: 4 Will he make <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with

thee ? wilt thou take <3947 laqach > him for a servant <5650

<ebed > for ever <5769 <owlam > ?

: 5 Wilt thou play <7832 sachaq > with him as [ with ] a bird

<6833 tsippowr > ? or wilt thou bind <7194 qashar > him for thy

maidens <5291 na<arah > ?

: 6 Shall the companions <2271 chabbar > make a banquet <3738

karah > of him ? shall they part <2673 chatsah > him among

<0996 beyn > the merchants <3669 K@na<aniy > ?

: 7 Canst thou fill <4390 male> > his skin <5785 <owr > with

barbed <7905 sukkah > irons <7905 sukkah > ? or his head <7218

ro>sh > with fish <1709 dag > spears <6767 ts@latsal > ?

: 8 Lay <7760 suwm > thine hand <3709 kaph > upon him ,

remember <2142 zakar > the battle <4421 milchamah > , do no

<0408 >al > more <3254 yacaph > .

: 9 Behold <2005 hen > , the hope <8431 towcheleth > of him is

in vain <3576 kazab > : shall not [ one ] be cast <2904 tuwl >

down <2904 tuwl > even <1571 gam > at the sight <4758 mar>eh >

of him ?

: 10 None <3808 lo> > [ is so ] fierce <0393 >akzar > that

dare stir <5782 <uwr > him up : who <4310 miy > then is able to

stand <3320 yatsab > before <6440 paniym > me ?

: 11 . Who <4310 miy > hath prevented <6923 qadam > me , that

I should repay <7999 shalam > [ him ? whatsoever is ] under

<8478 tachath > the whole <3605 kol > heaven <8064 shamayim > is

mine .

: 12 I will not conceal <2790 charash > his parts <0905 bad > ,

nor his power <1369 g@buwrah > , nor his comely <2433 chiyn >

proportion <6187 <erek > .

: 13 Who <4310 miy > can discover <1540 galah > the face <6440

paniym > of his garment <3830 l@buwsh > ? [ or ] who <4310

miy > can come <0935 bow> > [ to him ] with his double <3718

kephel > bridle <7448 recen > ?

: 14 Who <4310 miy > can open <6605 pathach > the doors <1817

deleth > of his face <6440 paniym > ? his teeth <8127 shen > [

are ] terrible <0367 >eymah > round <5439 cabiyb > about .

: 15 [ His ] scales [ are his ] pride <1346 ga<avah > ,

shut <5462 cagar > up together [ as with ] a close <6862 tsar

> seal <2368 chowtham > .

: 16 One <0259 >echad > is so near <5066 nagash > to another

<0259 >echad > , that no <3908 lachash > air <7307 ruwach > can

come <0935 bow> > between <0996 beyn > them .

: 17 They are joined <1692 dabaq > one <0376 >iysh > to another

<0250 >Ezrachiy > , they stick <3920 lakad > together , that

they cannot <3808 lo> > be sundered <6504 parad > .

: 18 By his neesings <5846 <atiyshah > a light <0216 >owr >

doth shine <1984 halal > , and his eyes <5869 <ayin > [ are ]

like the eyelids <6079 <aph<aph > of the morning <7837 shachar >

: 19 Out of his mouth <6310 peh > go <1980 halak > burning

<3940 lappiyd > lamps <3940 lappiyd > , [ and ] sparks <3590

kiydowd > of fire <0784 >esh > leap <4422 malat > out .

: 20 Out of his nostrils <5156 n@chiyr > goeth <3318 yatsa> >

smoke <6227 <ashan > , as [ out ] of a seething <5301 naphach

> pot <1731 duwd > or caldron <0100 >agmown > .

: 21 His breath <5315 nephesh > kindleth <3857 lahat > coals

<1513 gechel > , and a flame <3851 lahab > goeth <3318 yatsa> >

out of his mouth <6310 peh > .

: 22 In his neck <6677 tsavva>r > remaineth <3885 luwn >

strength <5797 <oz > , and sorrow <1670 d@>abah > is turned

<1750 duwts > into joy before <6440 paniym > him .

: 23 The flakes <4651 mappal > of his flesh <1320 basar > are

joined <1692 dabaq > together : they are firm <3332 yatsaq > in

themselves ; they cannot <1077 bal > be moved <4131 mowt > .

: 24 His heart <3820 leb > is as firm <3332 yatsaq > as a stone

<68> ; yea , as hard <3332 yatsaq > as a piece <6400 pelach >

of the nether <8482 tachtiy > [ millstone ] .

: 25 When he raiseth <7613 s@>eth > up himself , the mighty

<0410 >el > are afraid <1481 guwr > : by reason of breakings

<7667 sheber > they purify <2398 chata> > themselves .

: 26 The sword <2719 chereb > of him that layeth <5381 nasag >

at him cannot <1097 b@liy > hold <6965 quwm > : the spear <2595

chaniyth > , the dart <4551 macca< > , nor the habergeon <8302

shiryown > .

: 27 He esteemeth <2803 chashab > iron <1270 barzel > as straw

<8401 teben > , [ and ] brass <5154 n@chuwshah > as rotten

<7539 riqqabown > wood <6086 <ets > .

: 28 The arrow cannot <3808 lo> > make him flee <1272 barach > :

slingstonesare turned <2015 haphak > with him into stubble

<7179 qash > .

: 29 Darts <8455 towthach > are counted <2803 chashab > as

stubble <7179 qash > : he laugheth <7832 sachaq > at the shaking

<7494 ra<ash > of a spear <3591 kiydown > .

: 30 Sharp <2303 chadduwd > stones <2789 cheres > [ are ]

under <8478 tachath > him : he spreadeth <7502 raphad > sharp

<2742 charuwts > pointed <2742 charuwts > things upon the mire

<2916 tiyt > .

: 31 He maketh the deep <4688 m@tsowlah > to boil <7570 rathach

> like a pot <5518 ciyr > : he maketh <7760 suwm > the sea <3220

yam > like a pot of ointment <4841 merqachah > .

: 32 He maketh a path <5410 nathiyb > to shine <0215 >owr >

after <0310 >achar > him ; [ one ] would think <2803 chashab

: 33 Upon earth <6083 <aphar > there is not his like <4915

moshel > , who is made <6213 <asah > without <1097 b@liy > fear

<2844 chath > .

: 34 He beholdeth <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > high <1364

gaboahh > [ things ] : he [ is ] a king <4428 melek > over

<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the children <1121 ben > of pride

<7830 shachats > .

: Job 42

: 1 . Then Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 I know <3045 yada< > that thou canst <3201 yakol > do every

<3605 kol > [ thing ] , and [ that ] no <3908 lachash >

thought <4209 m@zimmah > can be withholden <1219 batsar > from

thee .

: 3 Who <4310 miy > [ is ] he that hideth <5956 <alam >

counsel <6098 <etsah > without <1097 b@liy > knowledge <1847

da<ath > ? therefore <3651 ken > have I uttered <5046 nagad >

that I understood <0995 biyn > not ; things too wonderful <6381

pala> > for me , which I knew <3045 yada< > not .

: 4 Hear <8085 shama< > , I beseech <4994 na> > thee , and I

will speak <1696 dabar > : I will demand <7592 sha>al > of thee ,

and declare <3045 yada< > thou unto me .

: 5 I have heard <8085 shama< > of thee by the hearing <8088

shema< > of the ear <0241 >ozen > : but now <6258 <attah > mine

eye <5869 <ayin > seeth <7200 ra>ah > thee .

: 6 Wherefore I abhor <3988 ma>ac > [ myself ] , and repent

<5162 nacham > in dust <6083 <aphar > and ashes <0665 >epher > .

: 7 . And it was [ so ] , that after <0310 >achar > the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had spoken <1696 dabar > these <0428 >el -

leh > words <1697 dabar > unto Job <0347 >Iyowb > , the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > to Eliphaz <0464 >Eliyphaz >

the Temanite <8489 Teymaniy > , My wrath <0639 >aph > is

kindled <2734 charah > against thee , and against thy two <8147

sh@nayim > friends <7453 rea< > : for ye have not spoken <1696

dabar > of me [ the thing that is ] right <3559 kuwn > , as

my servant <5650 <ebed > Job <0347 >Iyowb > [ hath ] .

: 8 Therefore take <3947 laqach > unto you now <6258 <attah >

seven <7651 sheba< > bullocks <6499 par > and seven <7651 sheba<

> rams <0352 >ayil > , and go <3212 yalak > to my servant <5650

<ebed > Job <0347 >Iyowb > , and offer <5927 <alah > up for

yourselves a burnt <5930 <olah > offering ; and my servant

<5650 <ebed > Job <0347 >Iyowb > shall pray <6419 palal > for

you : for him will I accept <5375 nasa> > : lest <1115 biltiy >

I deal <6213 <asah > with you [ after <0310 >achar > your ]

folly <5039 n@balah > , in that ye have not spoken <1696 dabar

> of me [ the thing which is ] right <3559 kuwn > , like my

servant <5650 <ebed > Job <0347 >Iyowb > .

: 9 So Eliphaz <0464 >Eliyphaz > the Temanite <8489 Teymaniy >

and Bildad <1085 Bildad > the Shuhite <7747 Shuchiy > [ and ]

Zophar <6691 Tsowphar > the Naamathite <5284 Na<amathiy > went

<3212 yalak > , and did <6213 <asah > according as the LORD

<3068 Y@hovah > commanded <1696 dabar > them : the LORD <3068

Y@hovah > also accepted <5375 nasa> > Job <0347 >Iyowb > .

: 10 . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > turned <7725 shuwb > the

captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Job <0347 >Iyowb > , when he

prayed <6419 palal > for his friends <7453 rea< > : also the

LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <3254 yacaph > Job <0347 >Iyowb >

twice <4932 mishneh > as much <0634 >Ecar - Chaddown > as he had

before .

: 11 Then came <0935 bow> > there unto him all <3605 kol > his

brethren <0251 >ach > , and all <3605 kol > his sisters <0269

>achowth > , and all <3605 kol > they that had been of his

acquaintance <3045 yada< > before <6440 paniym > , and did eat

<0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > with him in his house <1004

bayith > : and they bemoaned <5110 nuwd > him , and comforted

<5162 nacham > him over <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the evil

<7451 ra< > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had brought <0935 bow>

> upon him : every man <0376 >iysh > also gave <5414 nathan >

him a piece of money <7192 q@siytah > , and every <0376 >iysh >

one <0376 >iysh > an earring <5141 nexem > of gold <2091 zahab >

: 12 So the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > blessed <1288 barak > the

latter <0319 >achariyth > end of Job <0347 >Iyowb > more than

his beginning <7225 re>shiyth > : for he had <1961 hayah >

fourteen thousand <0505 >eleph > sheep <6629 tso>n > , and six

<8337 shesh > thousand <0505 >eleph > camels <1581 gamal > ,

and a thousand <0505 >eleph > yoke <6776 tsemed > of oxen <1241

baqar > , and a thousand <0505 >eleph > she asses <0860 >athown

> .

: 13 He had <1961 hayah > also seven <7658 shib<anah > sons

<1121 ben > and three <7969 shalowsh > daughters <1121 ben > .

: 14 And he called <7121 qara> > the name <8034 shem > of the

first <7223 ri>shown > , Jemima <3224 Y@miymah > ; and the

name <8034 shem > of the second <8145 sheniy > , Kezia <7103

Q@tsiy<ah > ; and the name <8034 shem > of the third <7992

sh@liyshiy > , Kerenhappuch <7163 qeren hap - puwk > .

: 15 And in all <3605 kol > the land <0776 >erets > were no

<3908 lachash > women <0802 >ishshah > found <4672 matsa> > [

so ] fair <3303 yapheh > as the daughters <1121 ben > of Job

<0347 >Iyowb > : and their father <1> gave <5414 nathan > them

inheritance <5159 nachalah > among <8432 tavek > their brethren

<0251 >ach > .

: 16 After <0310 >achar > this <2063 zo>th > lived <2421 chayah

>arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > , and saw <7200 ra>ah > his

sons <1121 ben > , and his sons <1121 ben > sons <1121 ben > ,

[ even ] four <0702 >arba< > generations <1755 dowr > .

: 17 So Job <0347 >Iyowb > died <4191 muwth > , [ being ]

old <2205 zaqen > and full <7646 saba< > of days <3117 yowm > .
