: 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

> him ,  and about <1157 b@<ad > his house <1004 bayith > ,  and

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

>akal > and drinking <8354 shathah > wine <3196 yayin > in their

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

>amar > ,  The fire <0784 >esh > of God <0430 >elohiym > is

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

>amar > ,  Thy sons <1121 ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben >  [

were ]  eating <0398 >akal > and drinking <8354 shathah > wine

<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<

> corners <6438 pinnah > of the house <1004 bayith > ,  and it

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 > ,

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

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

> he holdeth <2388 chazaq > fast his integrity <8538 tummah > ,  

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

nephesh > .

 : 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

> of his foot <7272 regel > unto his crown <6936 qodqod > .

 : 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

>elohiym > ,  and die <4191 muwth > .

 : 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

> evil <7451 ra< > ?  In all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > did

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

> shine <3313 yapha< > upon it .

 : 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

> thereof be dark <2821 chashak > ;  let it look <6960 qavah >

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

> together <3162 yachad > ;  they hear <8085 shama< > not the

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>

> the grave <6913 qeber > ?

 : 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

 : 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 >

with thee ,  wilt thou be grieved <3811 la>ah > ?  but who <4310

miy > can <3201 yakol > withhold <6113 <atsar > himself from

speaking <4405 millah > ?

 : 3 Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  thou hast instructed <3256 yacar >

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

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

 : 4 Thy words <4405 millah > have upholden <6965 quwm > him

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

<0553 >amats > the feeble <3766 kara< > knees <1290 berek > .

 : 5 But now <6258 <attah > it is come <0935 bow> > upon thee ,  

and thou faintest <3811 la>ah > ;  it toucheth <5060 naga< >

thee ,  and thou art troubled <0926 bahal > .

 : 6  [ Is ]  not  [ this ]  thy fear <3374 yir>ah > ,  thy

confidence <3690 kiclah > ,  thy hope <8615 tiqvah > ,  and the

uprightness <8537 tom > of thy ways <1870 derek > ?

 : 7 .  Remember <2142 zakar > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  who

<4310 miy >  [ ever ]  perished <6> ,  being innocent <5355

naqiy > ?  or where <0375 >eyphoh > were the righteous <6662

tsaddiyq > cut <3582 kachad > off ?

 : 8 Even as I have seen <7200 ra>ah > ,  they that plow <2790

charash > iniquity <0205 >aven > ,  and sow <2232 zara< >

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

 : 9 By the blast <5397 n@shamah > of God <0433 >elowahh > they

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

<0639 >aph > are they consumed <3615 kalah > .

 : 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

k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr > ,  are broken <5421 natha< > .

 : 11 The old lion <3918 layish > perisheth <6> for lack <1097

b@liy > of prey <2964 tereph > ,  and the stout lion s <3833

labiy> > whelps <1121 ben > are scattered <6504 parad > abroad

<6504 parad > .

 : 12 .  Now a thing <1697 dabar > was secretly <1589 ganab >

brought <1589 ganab > to me ,  and mine ear <0241 >ozen >

received <3947 laqach > a little <8102 shemets > thereof .

 : 13 In thoughts <5587 ca<iph > from the visions <2384

chizzayown > of the night <3915 layil > ,  when deep <8639

tardemah > sleep <8639 tardemah > falleth <5307 naphal > on

<5921 <al > men <0582 >enowsh > ,

 : 14 Fear <6343 pachad > came <7122 qara> > upon me ,  and

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

<etsem > to shake <6342 pachad > .

 : 15 Then a spirit <7307 ruwach > passed <2498 chalaph > before

<5921 <al > my face <6440 paniym > ;  the hair <8185 sa<arah >

of my flesh <1320 basar > stood <5568 camar > up :

 : 16 It stood <5975 <amad > still ,  but I could not discern

<5234 nakar > the form <4758 mar>eh > thereof : an image <8544

t@muwnah >  [ was ]  before <5048 neged > mine eyes <5869 <ayin

<8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > ,   [ saying ]  ,

 : 17 Shall mortal <0582 >enowsh > man <0582 >enowsh > be more

just <6663 tsadaq > than God <0433 >elowahh > ?  shall a man

<1396 gabar > be more pure <2891 taher > than his maker <6213

 : 18 Behold <2005 hen > ,  he put no <3808 lo> > trust <0539

mal>ak > he charged <7760 suwm > with folly <8417 toholah > :

 : 19 How <0637 >aph > much <0637 >aph > less  [ in ]  them that

dwell <7931 shakan > in houses <1004 bayith > of clay <2563

chomer > ,  whose <0834 >aher > foundation <3247 y@cowd >  [ is

 : 20 They are destroyed <3807 kathath > from morning <1242

boqer > to evening <6153 <ereb > : they perish <6> for ever

<5331 netsach > without any regarding <7760 suwm >  [ it ]  .

 : 21 Doth not their excellency <3499 yether >  [ which is ]  in

them go <5265 naca< > away <5265 naca< > ?  they die <4191 muwth

 : Job 5

 : 1 .  Call <7121 qara> > now <4994 na> > ,  if there be any

that will answer <6030 <anah > thee ;  and to which <4310 miy >

of the saints <6918 qadowsh > wilt thou turn <6437 panah > ?

 : 2 For wrath <3708 ka<ac > killeth <2026 harag > the foolish

<0191 >eviyl > man ,  and envy <7068 qin>ah > slayeth <4191

muwth > the silly <6601 pathah > one .

 : 3 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > the foolish <0191 >eviyl > taking

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

<5344 naqab > his habitation <5116 naveh > .

 : 4 His children <1121 ben > are far <7350 rachowq > from

safety <3468 yesha< > ,  and they are crushed <1792 daka> > in

the gate <8179 sha<ar > ,  neither <0369 >ayin >  [ is there ]  

any to deliver <5337 natsal >  [ them ]  .

 : 5 Whose <0834 >aher > harvest <7105 qatsiyr > the hungry

<7456 ra<eb > eateth <0398 >akal > up ,  and taketh <3947 laqach

tsammiym > swalloweth <7602 sha>aph > up their substance <2428

chayil > .

 : 6 .  Although <3588 kiy > affliction <0205 >aven > cometh

<3318 yatsa> > not forth <3318 yatsa> > of the dust <6083 <aphar

tsamach > out of the ground <0127 >adamah > ;

 : 7 Yet <3588 kiy > man <0120 >adam > is born <3205 yalad >

unto trouble <5999 <amal > ,  as the sparks <7565 resheph > fly

<5774 <uwph > upward <1361 gabahh > .

 : 8 I would seek <1875 darash > unto God <0410 >el > ,  and

unto God <0430 >elohiym > would I commit <7760 suwm > my cause

<1700 dibrah > :

 : 9 Which doeth <6213 <asah > great <1419 gadowl > things and

unsearchable ;  marvellous <6381 pala> > things without number

<4557 micpar > :

 : 10 Who giveth <5414 nathan > rain <4306 matar > upon the

earth <0776 >erets > ,  and sendeth <7971 shalach > waters <4325

mayim > upon the fields <2351 chuwts > :

 : 11 To set <7760 suwm > up on high <4791 marowm > those that

be low <8217 shaphal > ;  that those which mourn <6937 qadar >

may be exalted <7682 sagab > to safety <3468 yesha< > .

 : 12 He disappointeth <6565 parar > the devices <4284

machashabah > of the crafty <6175 <aruwm > ,  so that their

hands <3027 yad > cannot perform  [ their ]  enterprise <8454

tuwshiyah > .

 : 13 He taketh <3920 lakad > the wise <2450 chakam > in their

own craftiness <6193 <orem > : and the counsel <6098 <etsah > of

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

 : 14 They meet <6298 pagash > with darkness <2822 choshek > in

the daytime <3119 yowmam > ,  and grope <4959 mashash > in the

noonday <6672 tsohar > as in the night <3915 layil > .

 : 15 But he saveth <3467 yasha< > the poor <34> from the sword

<2719 chereb > ,  from their mouth <6310 peh > ,  and from the

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

 : 16 So the poor <1800 dal > hath <1961 hayah > hope <8615

tiqvah > ,  and iniquity <5766 <evel > stoppeth <7092 qaphats >

her mouth <6310 peh > .

 : 17 .  Behold <2009 hinneh > ,  happy <0835 >esher >  [ is ]  

the man <0582 >enowsh > whom God <0433 >elowahh > correcteth

<3198 yakach > : therefore despise <3988 ma>ac > not thou the

chastening <4148 muwcar > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday > :

 : 18 For he maketh sore <3510 ka>ab > ,  and bindeth <2280

chabash > up : he woundeth <4272 machats > ,  and his hands

<3027 yad > make whole <7495 rapha> > .

 : 19 He shall deliver <5337 natsal > thee in six <8337 shesh >

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

the tongue <3956 lashown > : neither <3808 lo> > shalt thou be

afraid <3372 yare> > of destruction <7701 shod > when <3588 kiy

 : 22 At destruction <7701 shod > and famine <3720 kaphan > thou

shalt laugh <7832 sachaq > : neither <0408 >al > shalt thou be

afraid <3372 yare> > of the beasts <2416 chay > of the earth

<0776 >erets > .

 : 23 For thou shalt be in league <1285 b@riyth > with the

stones <68> of the field <7704 sadeh > : and the beasts <2416

chay > of the field <7704 sadeh > shall be at peace <7999 shalam

 : 24 And thou shalt know <3045 yada< > that thy tabernacle

<0168 >ohel >  [ shall be ]  in peace <7965 shalowm > ;  and

thou shalt visit <6485 paqad > thy habitation <5116 naveh > ,  

and shalt not sin <2398 chata> > .

 : 25 Thou shalt know <3045 yada< > also that thy seed <2233

zera< >  [ shall be ]  great <7227 rab > ,  and thine offspring

<6631 tse>etsa> > as the grass <6212 <eseb > of the earth <0776

 : 26 Thou shalt come <0935 bow> > to  [ thy ]  grave <6913

qeber > in a full <3624 kelach > age <3624 kelach > ,  like as a

shock <1430 gadiysh > of corn cometh <5927 <alah > in in his

season <6256 <eth > .

 : 27 Lo <2009 hinneh > this <2063 zo>th > ,  we have searched

<2713 chaqar > it ,  so <3651 ken > it  [ is ]  ;  hear <8085

 : Job 6

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

 : 2 Oh that my grief <3708 ka<ac > were throughly weighed <8254

the balances <3976 mo>zen > together <3162 yachad > !

 : 3 For now <6258 <attah > it would be heavier <3513 kabad >

than the sand <2344 chowl > of the sea <3220 yam > : therefore

my words <1697 dabar > are swallowed <3886 luwa< > up .

 : 4 For the arrows <2671 chets > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday

 : 5 Doth the wild <6501 pere> > ass <6501 pere> > bray <5101

ga<ah > the ox <7794 showr > over <5921 <al > his fodder <1098

 : 6 Can that which is unsavoury <8602 taphel > be eaten <0398

<8033 sham >  [ any ]  taste <2940 ta<am > in the white <7388

 : 7 The things  [ that ]  my soul <5315 nephesh > refused <3985

 : 9 Even that it would please <2894 tuw> > God <0433 >elowahh >

to destroy <1792 daka> > me ;  that he would let loose <5425

nathar > his hand <3027 yad > ,  and cut <1214 batsa< > me off !

 : 10 Then should I yet <5750 <owd > have <1961 hayah > comfort

<5165 nechamah > ;  yea ,  I would harden <5539 calad > myself

in sorrow <2427 chiyl > : let him not spare <2550 chamal > ;  

for I have not concealed <3582 kachad > the words <0561 >emer >

of the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One .

 : 11 What <4100 mah >  [ is ]  my strength <3581 koach > ,  

that I should hope <3176 yachal > ?  and what <4100 mah >  [ is

my life <5315 nephesh > ?

 : 12  [ Is ]  my strength <3581 koach > the strength <3581

koach > of stones <68> ?  or  [ is ]  my flesh <1320 basar > of

brass <5153 Qiryath <Arba<  nachuwsh > ?

 : 13  [ Is ]  not my help <5833 <ezrah > in me ?  and is wisdom

<8454 tuwshiyah > driven <5080 nadach > quite <5080 nadach >

from me ?

 : 14 .  To him that is afflicted <4523 mac > pity <2617 checed

forsaketh <5800 <azab > the fear <3374 yir>ah > of the Almighty

<7706 Shadday > .

 : 15 My brethren <0251 >ach > have dealt deceitfully <0898

bagad > as a brook <5158 nachal > ,   [ and ]  as the stream

<0650 >aphiyq > of brooks <5158 nachal > they pass <5674 <abar >

vanish <6789 tsamath > : when it is hot <2527 chom > ,  they are

consumed <1846 da<ak > out of their place <4725 maqowm > .

 : 18 The paths <0734 >orach > of their way <1870 derek > are

turned <3943 laphath > aside <3943 laphath > ;  they go <5927

<alah > to nothing <8414 tohuw > ,  and perish <6> .

 : 19 The troops <0734 >orach > of Tema <8485 Teyma> > looked

<5027 nabat > ,  the companies <1979 haliykah > of Sheba <7614

 : 20 They were confounded <0954 buwsh > because <3588 kiy >

they had hoped <0982 batach > ;  they came <0935 bow> > thither

<5704 <ad > ,  and were ashamed <2659 chapher > .

 : 21 For now <6258 <attah > ye are nothing <3808 lo> > ;  ye

see <7200 ra>ah >  [ my ]  casting <2866 chathath > down ,  and

 : 23 Or ,  Deliver <4422 malat > me from the enemy s <6862 tsar

hand <3027 yad > of the mighty <6184 <ariyts > ?

 : 24 Teach <3384 yarah > me ,  and I will hold <2790 charash >

my tongue <2790 charash > : and cause me to understand <0995

 : 25 How <4100 mah > forcible <4834 marats > are right <3476

arguing <3198 yakach > reprove <3198 yakach > ?

 : 26 Do ye imagine <2803 chashab > to reprove <3198 yakach >

words <4405 millah > ,  and the speeches <0561 >emer > of one

that is desperate <2976 ya>ash > ,   [ which are ]  as wind

 : 27 Yea <0637 >aph > ,  ye overwhelm <5307 naphal > the

fatherless <3490 yathowm > ,  and ye dig <3738 karah >  [ a pit

 : 28 Now <6258 <attah > therefore be content <2974 ya>al > ,  

look <6437 panah > upon me ;  for  [ it is ]  evident unto you

 : 29 Return <7725 shuwb > ,  I pray <4994 na> > you ,  let it

 : Job 7

 : 2 As a servant <5650 <ebed > earnestly desireth <7602 sha>aph

 : 3 So <3651 ken > am I made to possess <5157 nachal > months

<3391 yerach > of vanity <7723 shav> > ,  and wearisome <5999

 : 5 My flesh <1320 basar > is clothed <3847 labash > with worms

<7415 rimmah > and clods <1487 guwsh > of dust <6083 <aphar > ;  

my skin <5785 <owr > is broken <7280 raga< > ,  and become <3988

ma>ac > loathsome <3988 ma>ac > .

 : 6 My days <3117 yowm > are swifter <7043 qalal > than a

weaver s shuttle <0708 >ereg > ,  and are spent <3615 kalah >

without <0657 >ephec > hope <8615 tiqvah > .

 : 7 .  O remember <2142 zakar > that my life <2416 chay >  [ is

 : 8 The eye <5869 <ayin > of him that hath seen <7210 ro>iy >

me shall see <7789 shuwr > me no <3808 lo> >  [ more ]  : thine

eyes <5869 <ayin >  [ are ]  upon me ,  and I  [ am ]  not .

 : 9  [ As ]  the cloud <6051 <anan > is consumed <3615 kalah >

and vanisheth <3212 yalak > away : so <3651 ken > he that goeth

<3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl >

 : 11 Therefore <1571 gam > I will not refrain <2820 chasak > my

mouth <6310 peh > ;  I will speak <1696 dabar > in the anguish

<2384 chizzayown > :

 : 15 So that my soul <5315 nephesh > chooseth <0977 bachar >

strangling <4267 machanaq > ,   [ and ]  death <4194 maveth >

thou shouldest magnify <1431 gadal > him ?  and that thou

shouldest set <7896 shiyth > thine heart <3820 leb > upon him ?

every morning <1242 boqer > ,   [ and ]  try <0974 bachan > him

every moment <7281 rega< > ?

 : 19 How <5704 <ad > long <4101 mah > wilt thou not depart

 : Job 8

 : 1 .  Then answered <6030 <anah > Bildad <1085 Bildad > the

Shuhite <7747 Shuchiy > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > wilt thou speak <4448

 : 3 Doth God <0410 >el > pervert <5791 <avath > judgment <4941

of the former <7223 ri>shown > age <1755 dowr > ,  and prepare

<3559 kuwn > thyself to the search <2714 cheqer > of their

the hypocrite s <2611 chaneph > hope <8615 tiqvah > shall perish

 : Job 9

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

<0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 I know <3045 yada< >  [ it is ]  so <3651 ken > of a truth

 : 4  [ He is ]  wise <2450 chakam > in heart <3824 lebab > ,

 : 5 Which removeth <6275 <athaq > the mountains <2022 har > ,

 : 7 Which commandeth <0559 >amar > the sun <2775 cherec > ,  

and it riseth <2224 zarach > not ;  and sealeth <2856 chatham >

up the stars <3556 kowkab > .

 : 12 Behold <2005 hen > ,  he taketh <2862 chathaph > away

<2862 chathaph > ,  who <4310 miy > can hinder <7725 shuwb > him

 : 13  [ If ]  God <0433 >elowahh > will not withdraw <7725

shuwb > his anger <0639 >aph > ,  the proud <7293 rahab >

helpers <5826 <azar > do stoop <7817 shachach > under <8478

 : 14 .  How <0637 >aph > much less shall I answer <6030 <anah >

him ,   [ and ]  choose <0977 bachar > out my words <1697 dabar

 : 15 Whom <0834 >aher > ,  though <0518 >im > I were righteous

[ but ]  I would make supplication <2603 chanan > to my judge

<8199 shaphat > .

 : 16 If <0518 >im > I had called <7121 qara> > ,  and he had

 : 17 For he breaketh <7779 shuwph > me with a tempest <8183

s@<arah > ,  and multiplieth <7235 rabah > my wounds <6482

 : 18 He will not suffer <5414 nathan > me to take my breath

<4472 mamror > .

 : 19 If <0518 >im >  [ I speak ]  of strength <3581 koach > ,  

lo <2009 hinneh > ,   [ he is ]  strong <0533 >ammiyts > : and

if <0518 >im > of judgment <4941 mishpat > ,  who <4310 miy >

 : 20 If <0518 >im > I justify <6663 tsadaq > myself ,  mine own

mouth <6310 peh > shall condemn <7561 rasha< > me :  [ if I say

perverse <6140 <aqash > .

 : 21  [ Though ]  I  [ were ]  perfect <8535 tam > ,   [ yet ]  

would I not know <3045 yada< > my soul <5315 nephesh > : I would

despise <3988 ma>ac > my life <2416 chay > .

 : 22 .  This <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  one <0259 >echad >  [ thing

<3615 kalah > the perfect <8535 tam > and the wicked <7563

the trial <4531 maccah > of the innocent <5355 naqiy > .

 : 24 The earth <0776 >erets > is given <5414 nathan > into the

   [ and ]  who <4310 miy >  [ is ]  he ?

 : 25 .  Now my days <3117 yowm > are swifter <7043 qalal > than

<4480 min > a post <7323 ruwts > : they flee <1272 barach > away

 : 26 They are passed <2498 chalaph > away as the swift <16>

 : 27 If <0518 >im > I say <0559 >amar > ,  I will forget <7911

<6094 <atstsebeth > ,  I know <3045 yada< > that thou wilt not

hold me innocent <5352 naqah > .

 : 29  [ If ]  I be wicked <7561 rasha< > ,  why <4100 mah >

 : 31 Yet <0227 >az > shalt thou plunge <2881 tabal > me in the

ditch <7845 shachath > ,  and mine own clothes <8008 salmah >

shall abhor <8581 ta<ab > me .

 : 32 For  [ he is ]  not a man <0376 >iysh > ,  as I  [ am ,  

that ]  I should answer<6030 <anah > him ,   [ and ]  we should

come <0935 bow> > together <3162 yachad > in judgment <4941

 : 33 Neither <3808 lo> > is there any daysman <3198 yakach >

his hand <3027 yad > upon us both <8147 sh@nayim > .

 : 34 Let him take <5493 cuwr > his rod <7626 shebet > away

<5493 cuwr > from me ,  and let not his fear <0367 >eymah >

terrify <1204 ba<ath > me :

 : 35  [ Then ]  would I speak <1696 dabar > ,  and not fear

<3372 yare> > him ;  but  [ it is ]  not so <3651 ken > with me .

 : Job 10

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

life <2416 chay > ;  I will leave <5800 <azab > my complaint

<7878 siyach > upon myself ;  I will speak <1696 dabar > in the

bitterness <4751 mar > of my soul <5315 nephesh > .

 : 2 I will say <0559 >amar > unto God <0433 >elowahh > ,  Do

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

thou contendest with me .

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

oppress <6231 <ashaq > ,  that thou shouldest despise <3988

and shine <3313 yapha< > upon the counsel <6098 <etsah > of the

 : 4 Hast thou eyes <5869 <ayin > of flesh <1320 basar > ?  or

seest <7200 ra>ah > thou as man <0582 >enowsh > seeth <7200

 : 5  [ Are ]  thy days <3117 yowm > as the days <3117 yowm > of

man <0582 >enowsh > ?   [ are ]  thy years <8141 shaneh > as man

s <1397 geber > days <3117 yowm > ,

 : 6 That thou enquirest <1245 baqash > after <0310 >achar >

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

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

 : 7 Thou knowest <1847 da<ath > that I am not wicked <7561

rasha< > ;  and  [ there is ]  none <0369 >ayin > that can

deliver <5337 natsal > out of thine hand <3027 yad > .

 : 8 .  Thine hands <3027 yad > have made <6087 <atsab > me and

fashioned <6213 <asah > me together <3162 yachad > round <5439

 : 9 Remember <2142 zakar > ,  I beseech <4994 na> > thee ,  

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

  and wilt thou bring <7725 shuwb > me into <0413 >el > dust

<6083 <aphar > again <7725 shuwb > ?

 : 10 Hast thou not poured <5413 nathak > me out as milk <2461

g@binah > ?

 : 11 Thou hast clothed <3847 labash > me with skin <5785 <owr >

and flesh <1320 basar > ,  and hast fenced <7753 suwk > me with

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

 : 12 Thou hast granted <6213 <asah > me life <2416 chay > and

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

hath preserved <8104 shamar > my spirit <7307 ruwach > .

 : 13 And these <0428 >el - leh >  [ things ]  hast thou hid

<6845 tsaphan > in thine heart <3824 lebab > : I know <3045

 : 14 .  If <0518 >im > I sin <2398 chata> > ,  then thou

markest <8104 shamar > me ,  and thou wilt not acquit <5352

<6662 tsaddiyq > ,   [ yet ]  will I not lift <5375 nasa> > up

 : 16 For it increaseth <1342 ga>ah > .  Thou huntest <6679

 : 18 Wherefore <4100 mah > then hast thou brought <3318 yatsa>

that I had given <1478 gava< > up the ghost <1478 gava< > ,  and

no <3808 lo> > eye <5869 <ayin > had seen <7200 ra>ah > me !

 : 19 I should have been <1961 hayah > as though I had not been

 : 20  [ Are ]  not my days <3117 yowm > few <4592 m@<at > ?

<2790 charash > their peace <2790 charash > ?  and when thou

mockest <3932 la<ag > ,  shall no <0369 >ayin > man make thee

ashamed <3637 kalam > ?

 : 4 For thou hast said <0559 >amar > ,  My doctrine <3948

leqach >  [ is ]  pure <2134 zak > ,  and I am clean <1249 bar >

in thine eyes <5869 <ayin > .

 : 5 But oh that God <0433 >elowahh > would speak <1696 dabar > ,

  and open <6605 pathach > his lips <8193 saphah > against <5973

<im > thee ;

 : 6 And that he would shew <5046 nagad > thee the secrets <8587

ta<alummah > of wisdom <2451 chokmah > ,  that  [ they are ]  

double <3718 kephel > to that which is !  Know <3045 yada< >

therefore that God <0433 >elowahh > exacteth <5382 nashah > of

thee  [ less ]  than thine iniquity <5771 <avon >  [ deserveth ]

 .

the Almighty <7706 Shadday > unto perfection <8503 takliyth > ?

 : 8  [ It is ]  as high <1363 gobahh > as heaven <8064 shamayim

 : 10 If <0518 >im > he cut <2498 chalaph > off ,  and shut

<4310 miy > can hinder <7725 shuwb > him ?

 : 11 For he knoweth <3045 yada< > vain <7723 shav> > men <4962

will he not then consider <0995 biyn >  [ it ]  ?

 : 12 For vain <5014 nabab > man would be wise <3823 labab > ,  

though man be born <3205 yalad >  [ like ]  a wild <6501 pere> >

ass s <6501 pere> > colt <5895 <ayir > .

not wickedness <5766 <evel > dwell <7931 shakan > in thy

 : 15 For then <0227 >az > shalt thou lift <5375 nasa> > up thy

[ it ]  as waters <4325 mayim >  [ that ]  pass <5674 <abar >

 : 17 And  [ thine ]  age <2465 cheled > shall be clearer <6965

 : 18 And thou shalt be secure <0982 batach > ,  because <3588

kiy > there is hope <8615 tiqvah > ;  yea ,  thou shalt dig

<2658 chaphar >  [ about <5439 cabiyb > thee ,  and ]  thou

<0983 betach > .

 : 19 Also thou shalt lie <7257 rabats > down <7257 rabats > ,

 : 20 But the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the wicked <7563 rasha< >

shall fail <3615 kalah > ,  and they shall not escape ,  and

their hope <8615 tiqvah >  [ shall be as ]  the giving <4646

 : Job 12

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

<0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 No <0551 >omnam > doubt <0551 >omnam > but ye  [ are ]  the

 : 3 But I have understanding <3824 lebab > as well <71> as you ;

 : 5 He that is ready <3559 kuwn > to slip <4571 ma<ad > with  [

despised <0937 buwz > in the thought <6248 <ashtuwth > of him

 : 6 .  The tabernacles <0168 >ohel > of robbers <7703 shadad >

prosper <7951 shalah > ,  and they that provoke <7264 ragaz >

God <0410 >el > are secure <0987 battuchowth > ;  into whose

 : 7 But ask <7592 sha>al > now <4994 na> > the beasts <0929

fowls <5775 <owph > of the air <8064 shamayim > ,  and they

 : 9 Who <4310 miy > knoweth <3045 yada< > not in all <3605 kol

<3068 Y@hovah > hath wrought <6213 <asah > this <2063 zo>th > ?

<5315 nephesh > of every <3605 kol > living <2416 chay > thing ,

 and the breath <7307 ruwach > of all <3605 kol > mankind .

 : 11 Doth not the ear <0241 >ozen > try <0974 bachan > words

his meat <0400 >okel > ?

 : 12 .  With the ancient <3453 yashiysh >  [ is ]  wisdom <2451

understanding <8394 tabuwn > .

<1369 g@buwrah > ,  he hath counsel <6098 <etsah > and

understanding <8394 tabuwn > .

 : 14 Behold <2005 hen > ,  he breaketh <2040 harac > down <2040

there can be no <3808 lo> > opening <6605 pathach > .

 : 15 Behold <2005 hen > ,  he withholdeth <6113 <atsar > the

waters <4325 mayim> ,  and they dry <3001 yabesh > up : also he

sendeth <7971 shalach > them out ,  and they overturn <2015

 : 17 He leadeth <3212 yalak > counsellors <3289 ya<ats > away

spoiled <7758 showlal > ,  and maketh the judges <8199 shaphat >

fools <1984 halal > .

 : 18 He looseth <6605 pathach > the bond <4148 muwcar > of

kings <4428 melek > ,  and girdeth <0631 >acar > their loins

<4975 mothen > with a girdle <0232 >ezowr > .

 : 19 He leadeth <3212 yalak > princes <3548 kohen > away

spoiled <7758 showlal > ,  and overthroweth <5557 calaph > the

mighty <0386 >eythan > .

 : 20 He removeth <5493 cuwr > away the speech <8193 saphah > of

the trusty <0539 >aman > ,  and taketh <3947 laqach > away the

understanding <2940 ta<am > of the aged <2205 zaqen > .

 : 21 He poureth <8210 shaphak > contempt <0937 buwz > upon

princes <5081 nadiyb > ,  and weakeneth <7503 raphah > the

strength <4206 maziyach > of the mighty <0650 >aphiyq > .

 : 22 He discovereth <1540 galah > deep <6013 <amoq > things out

of darkness <2822 choshek > ,  and bringeth <3318 yatsa> > out

to light <0216 >owr > the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death

<6757 tsalmaveth > .

 : 23 He increaseth <7679 saga> > the nations <1471 gowy > ,  

and destroyeth <6> them : he enlargeth <7849 shatach > the

nations <1471 gowy > ,  and straiteneth <5148 nachah > them  [

again ]  .

 : 24 He taketh <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > the heart <3820

leb > of the chief <7218 ro>sh > of the people <5971 <am > of

the earth <0776 >erets > ,  and causeth them to wander <8582

 : 25 They grope <4959 mashash > in the dark <2822 choshek >

 : Job 13

 : 1 .  Lo <2005 hen > ,  mine eye <5869 <ayin > hath seen <7200

ra>ah > all <3605 kol >  [ this ]  ,  mine ear <0241 >ozen >

hath heard <8085 shama< > and understood <0995 biyn > it .

 : 2 What ye know <1847 da<ath > ,   [ the same ]  do I know

<3045 yada< > also <1571 gam > : I  [ am ]  not inferior <5307

 : 3 Surely <0199 >uwlam > I would speak <1696 dabar > to the

Almighty <7706 Shadday > ,  and I desire <2654 chaphets > to

reason <3198 yakach > with God <0410 >el > .

 : 4 But ye  [ are ]  forgers <2950 taphal > of lies <8267

<2790 charash > !  and it should be your wisdom <2451 chokmah > .

 : 6 Hear <8085 shama< > now <4994 na> > my reasoning <8433

towkechah > ,  and hearken <7181 qashab > to the pleadings <7379

riyb > of my lips <8193 saphah > .

 : 7 Will ye speak <1696 dabar > wickedly <5766 <evel > for God

<0410 >el > ?  and talk <1696 dabar > deceitfully <7423 r@miyah

 : 8 Will ye accept <5375 nasa> > his person <6440 paniym > ?  

will ye contend <7378 riyb > for God <0410 >el > ?

 : 9 Is it good <2896 towb > that he should search <2713 chaqar

 : 10 He will surely reprove <3198 yakach > you ,  if <0518 >im

<6440 paniym > .

 : 11 Shall not his excellency <7613 s@>eth > make you afraid

<1204 ba<ath > ?  and his dread <6343 pachad > fall <5307 naphal

 : 12 Your remembrances <2146 zikrown >  [ are ]  like <4911

mashal > unto ashes <0665 >epher > ,  your bodies <1354 gab > to

bodies <1472 g@viyah > of clay <2563 chomer > .

 : 13 .  Hold <2790 charash > your peace <2790 charash > ,  let

me alone ,  that I may speak <1696 dabar > ,  and let come <5674

<abar > on me what <4100 mah >  [ will ]  .

 : 14 Wherefore do I take <5375 nasa> > my flesh <1320 basar >

in my teeth <8127 shen > ,  and put <7760 suwm > my life <5315

nephesh > in mine hand <3709 kaph > ?

 : 15 Though he slay <6991 qatal > me ,  yet will I trust <3176

ways <1870 derek > before him .

 : 16 He also <1571 gam >  [ shall be ]  my salvation <3444

y@shuw<ah > : for an hypocrite <2611 chaneph > shall not come

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

and my declaration <0262 >achvah > with your ears <0241 >ozen > .

 : 18 Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > ,  I have <1961

I know <3045 yada< > that I shall be justified <6663 tsadaq > .

hold <2790 charash > my tongue <2790 charash > ,  I shall give

<1478 gava< > up the ghost <1478 gava< > .

 : 20 Only <0389 >ak > do <6213 <asah > not two <8147 sh@nayim >

 : 21 Withdraw <7368 rachaq > thine hand <3709 kaph > far <7350

afraid <1204 ba<ath > .

 : 22 Then call <7121 qara> > thou ,  and I will answer <6030

<anah > : or <0176 >ow > let me speak <1696 dabar > ,  and

answer <7725 shuwb > thou me .

 : 23 .  How <4100 mah > many  [ are ]  mine iniquities <5771

<avon > and sins <2403 chatta>ah > ?  make me to know <3045

yada< > my transgression <6588 pesha< > and my sin <2403

 : 24 Wherefore <4100 mah > hidest <5641 cathar > thou thy face

<6440 paniym > ,  and holdest <2803 chashab > me for thine enemy

<0341 >oyeb > ?

 : 25 Wilt thou break <6206 <arats > a leaf <5929 <aleh > driven

<5086 nadaph > to and fro ?  and wilt thou pursue <7291 radaph >

the dry <3002 yabesh > stubble <7179 qash > ?

 : 26 For thou writest <3789 kathab > bitter <4846 m@rorah >

things against <5921 <al > me ,  and makest me to possess <3423

yarash > the iniquities <5771 <avon > of my youth <5271 na<uwr >

 : 27 Thou puttest <7760 suwm > my feet <7272 regel > also in

the stocks <5465 cad > ,  and lookest <8104 shamar > narrowly

<8104 shamar > unto all <3605 kol > my paths <0734 >orach > ;  

thou settest a print <2707 chaqah > upon the heels <8323 sarar >

of my feet <7272 regel > .

 : 28 And he ,  as a rotten <7538 raqab > thing ,  consumeth

<1086 balah > ,  as a garment <0899 beged > that is moth <6211

 : 3 And dost thou open <6491 paqach > thine eyes <5869 <ayin >

upon such <2088 zeh > an one ,  and bringest <0935 bow> > me

into judgment <4941 mishpat > with thee ?

 : 11  [ As ]  the waters <4325 mayim > fail <0235 >azal > from

 : 13 O that thou wouldest hide <6845 tsaphan > me in the grave

 : 14 If <0518 >im > a man <1397 geber > die <4191 muwth > ,  

shall he live <2421 chayah >  [ again ]  ?  all <3605 kol > the

work <4639 ma<aseh > of thine hands <3027 yad > .

 : 16 .  For now <6258 <attah > thou numberest <5608 caphar > my

<5921 <al > my sin <2403 chatta>ah > ?

 : 17 My transgression <6588 pesha< >  [ is ]  sealed <2856

 : 18 And surely <0199 >uwlam > the mountain <2022 har > falling

 : 19 The waters <4325 mayim > wear <7833 shachaq > the stones

 : Job 15

 : 1 .  Then answered <6030 <anah > Eliphaz <0464 >Eliyphaz >

the Temanite <8489 Teymaniy > ,  and said <0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Should a wise <2450 chakam > man utter vain <7307 ruwach >

knowledge <1847 da<ath > ,  and fill <4390 male> > his belly

<0990 beten > with the east <6921 qadiym > wind <7307 ruwach > ?

 : 3 Should he reason <3198 yakach > with unprofitable <5532

cakan > talk <1697 dabar > ?  or with speeches <4405 millah >

wherewith he can do <5953 <alal > no <3808 lo> > good <3276

ya<al > ?

 : 4 Yea <0637 >aph > ,  thou castest <6565 parar > off fear

<3374 yir>ah > ,  and restrainest <1639 gara< > prayer <7878

siyach > before <6440 paniym > God <0410 >el > .

 : 5 For thy mouth <6310 peh > uttereth <0502 >alph > thine

iniquity <5771 <avon > ,  and thou choosest <0977 bachar > the

tongue <3956 lashown > of the crafty <6175 <aruwm > .

 : 6 Thine own mouth <6310 peh > condemneth <7561 rasha< > thee ,

  and not I : yea ,  thine own lips <8193 saphah > testify <6030

<anah > against thee .

 : 7  [ Art ]  thou the first <7223 ri>shown > man <0120 >adam >

 [ that ]  was born <3205 yalad > ?  or wast thou made <2342

chuwl > before <6440 paniym > the hills <1389 gib<ah > ?

 : 8 Hast thou heard <8085 shama< > the secret <5475 cowd > of

God <0433 >elowahh > ?  and dost thou restrain <1639 gara< >

wisdom <2451 chokmah > to thyself <0413 >el > ?

 : 9 What <4100 mah > knowest <3045 yada< > thou ,  that we know

<3045 yada< > not ?   [ what ]  understandest <0995 biyn > thou ,

  which <1931 huw> >  [ is ]  not in us ?

 : 10 With us  [ are ]  both <1571 gam > the grayheaded and very

<3453 yashiysh > aged <3453 yashiysh > men ,  much <3524 kabbiyr

 : 11  [ Are ]  the consolations <8575 tanchuwm > of God <0410

 : 12 Why <4100 mah > doth thine heart <3820 leb > carry <3947

laqach > thee away ?  and what <4100 mah > do thy eyes <5869

<ayin > wink <7335 razam > at ,

 : 13 That thou turnest <7725 shuwb > thy spirit <7307 ruwach >

against <0413 >el > God <0410 >el > ,  and lettest  [ such ]  

words <4405 millah > go <3318 yatsa> > out of thy mouth <6310

 : 14 What <4100 mah >  [ is ]  man <0582 >enowsh > ,  that he

should be clean <2135 zakah > ?  and  [ he which is ]  born

<3205 yalad > of a woman <0802 >ishshah > ,  that he should be

righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > ?

 : 15 Behold <2005 hen > ,  he putteth no <3808 lo> > trust

<0539 >aman > in his saints <6918 qadowsh > ;  yea ,  the

heavens <8064 shamayim > are not clean <2141 zakak > in his

 : 16 How <0637 >aph > much more abominable <8581 ta<ab > and

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

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

 : 17 .  I will shew <2331 chavah > thee ,  hear <8085 shama< >

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

declare <5608 caphar > ;

 : 18 Which <0834 >aher > wise <2450 chakam > men have told

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

 : 19 Unto whom <1992 hem > alone <0905 bad > the earth <0776

<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 .

 : 22 He believeth <0539 >aman > not that he shall return <7725

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

<6822 tsaphah > for of the sword <2719 chereb > .

 : 23 He wandereth <5074 nadad > abroad <5074 nadad > for bread

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

 ?  he knoweth <3045 yada< > that the day <3117 yowm > of

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

<athiyd > to the battle <3593 kiydowr > .

 : 25 For he stretcheth <5186 natah > out his hand <3027 yad >

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

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

.

 : 26 He runneth <7323 ruwts > upon him ,   [ even ]  on  [ his

<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  [

his ]  flanks <3689 kecel > .

 : 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 > .

 : 30 He shall not depart <5493 cuwr > out of darkness <2822

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

be his recompence <8545 t@muwrah > .

 : 32 It shall be accomplished <4390 male> > before <3808 lo> >

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

be green <7488 ra<anan > .

 : 33 He shall shake <2554 chamac > off his unripe <1154 becer >

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

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

<2132 zayith > .

 : 34 For the congregation <5712 <edah > of hypocrites <2611

chaneph >  [ shall be ]  desolate <1565 galmuwd > ,  and fire

<0784 >esh > shall consume <0398 >akal > the tabernacles <0168

 : 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

<0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 I have heard <8085 shama< > many <7227 rab > such <0428 >el

 : 3 Shall vain <7307 ruwach > words <1697 dabar > have an end

<7093 qets > ?  or <0176 >ow > what <4100 mah > emboldeneth

<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

<5315 nephesh > stead <8478 tachath > ,  I could heap <2266

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

<8193 saphah > should asswage <2820 chasak >  [ your grief ]  .

 : 6 .  Though <0518 >im > I speak <1696 dabar > ,  my grief

<3511 k@>eb > is not asswaged <2820 chasak > : and  [ though ]  

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

halak > ?

 : 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 > .

 : 8 And thou hast filled <7059 qamat > me with wrinkles <7059

qamat > ,   [ which ]  is a witness <5707 <ed >  [ against me ]  

: and my leanness <3585 kachash > rising <6965 quwm > up in me

beareth <6030 <anah > witness <6030 <anah > to my face <6440

 : 9 He teareth <2963 taraph >  [ me ]  in his wrath <0639 >aph

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

 : 12 I was at ease <7961 shalev > ,  but he hath broken <6565

by my neck <6203 <oreph > ,  and shaken <6327 puwts > me to

pieces ,  and set <6965 quwm > me up for his mark <4307 mattara>

 : 13 His archers <7228 rab > compass <5437 cabab > me round

<5437 cabab > about ,  he cleaveth <6398 palach > my reins <3629

kilyah > asunder ,  and doth not spare <2550 chamal > ;  he

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

ground <0776 >erets > .

 : 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 > .

 : 15 I have sewed <8609 taphar > sackcloth <8242 saq > upon my

skin <1539 geled > ,  and defiled <5953 <alal > my horn <7161

 : 16 My face <6440 paniym > is foul <2560 chamar > with weeping

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

pure <2134 zak > .

 : 18 O earth <0776 >erets > ,  cover <3680 kacah > not thou my

 : 20 My friends <7453 rea< > scorn <3887 luwts > me :  [ but ]  

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

 : 22 When <3588 kiy > a few <4557 micpar > years <8141 shaneh >

<0734 >orach >  [ whence ]  I shall not return <7725 shuwb > .

 : Job 17

 : 1 .  My breath <7307 ruwach > is corrupt <2254 chabal > ,  my

 : 3 Lay <7760 suwm > down now <4994 na> > ,  put me in a surety

<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

his children <1121 ben > shall fail <3615 kalah > .

 : 6 He hath made <3322 yatsag > me also a byword <4914 m@showl

was as a tabret <8611 topheth > .

 : 7 Mine eye <5869 <ayin > also is dim <3543 kahah > by reason

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

 : Job 18

 : 1 .  Then answered <6030 <anah > Bildad <1085 Bildad > the

 : 2 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad >  [ will it be ere ]  ye

 : 3 Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > are we counted <2803 chashab >

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

 : 6 The light <0216 >owr > shall be dark <2821 chashak > in his

put <1846 da<ak > out with him .

 : 7 The steps <6806 tsa<ad > of his strength <0202 >own > shall

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

 : 8 For he is cast <7971 shalach > into a net <7568 resheth >

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

upon a snare <7639 s@bakah > .

 : 9 The gin <6341 pach > shall take <0270 >achaz >  [ him ]  by

the heel <6119 <aqeb > ,   [ and ]  the robber <6782 tsammiym >

 : 10 The snare <2256 chebel >  [ is ]  laid for him in the

the way <5410 nathiyb > .

 : 11 .  Terrors <1091 ballahah > shall make him afraid <1204

drive <6327 puwts > him to his feet <7272 regel > .

 : 12 His strength <0202 >own > shall be hungerbitten <7457

 : 13 It shall devour <0398 >akal > the strength <0905 bad > of

 : 14 His confidence <4009 mibtach > shall be rooted <5423

bring <6805 tsa<ad > him to the king <4428 melek > of terrors

 : 15 It shall dwell <7931 shakan > in his tabernacle <0168

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

 : 17 His remembrance <2143 zeker > shall perish <6> from the

earth <0776 >erets > ,  and he shall have no <3808 lo> > name

 : 18 He shall be driven <1920 Hadaph > from light <0216 >owr >

into darkness <2822 choshek > ,  and chased <5074 nadad > out of

the world <8398 tebel > .

 : 19 He shall neither <3808 lo> > have son <5209 niyn > nor

<3808 lo> > nephew <5220 neked > among his people <5971 <am > ,  

nor <3808 lo> > any remaining <8300 sariyd > in his dwellings

<4033 maguwr > .

 : 20 They that come after <0314 >acharown >  [ him ]  shall be

astonied <8074 shamem > at <5921 <al > his day <3117 yowm > ,  

as they that went <6923 qadam > before <6931 qadmowniy > were

affrighted .

 : 21 Surely <0389 >ak > such <0428 >el - leh >  [ are ]  the

dwellings <4908 mishkan > of the wicked <5767 <avval > ,  and

this <2088 zeh >  [ is ]  the place <4725 maqowm >  [ of him

that ]  knoweth <3045 yada< > not God <0410 >el > .

 : Job 19

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

<0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > will ye vex <3013 yagah >

my soul <5315 nephesh > ,  and break <1792 daka> > me in pieces

with words <4405 millah > ?

 : 3 These <2088 zeh > ten <6235 <eser > times <6471 pa<am >

have ye reproached <3637 kalam > me : ye are not ashamed <0954

buwsh >  [ that ]  ye make yourselves strange <1970 hakar > to

me .

 : 4 And be it indeed <0551 >omnam >  [ that ]  I have erred

<7683 shagag > ,  mine error <4879 m@shuwgah > remaineth <3885

luwn > with myself .

 : 5 If <0518 >im > indeed <0551 >omnam > ye will magnify <1431

gadal >  [ yourselves ]  against <5921 <al > me ,  and plead

<3198 yakach > against <5921 <al > me my reproach <2781 cherpah

 : 6 Know <3045 yada< > now <0645 >ephow > that God <0433

>elowahh > hath overthrown <5791 <avath > me ,  and hath

compassed <5362 naqaph > me with his net <4685 matsowd > .

 : 7 Behold <2005 hen > ,  I cry <6817 tsa<aq > out of wrong

<2555 chamac > ,  but I am not heard <6030 <anah > : I cry <7768

shava< > aloud <7768 shava< > ,  but  [ there is ]  no <3808 lo>

 : 8 .  He hath fenced <1443 gadar > up my way <0734 >orach >

that I cannot <3808 lo> > pass <5674 <abar > ,  and he hath set

<7760 suwm > darkness <2822 choshek > in my paths <5410 nathiyb

 : 9 He hath stripped <6584 pashat > me of my glory <3519 kabowd

my head <7218 ro>sh > .

 : 10 He hath destroyed <5422 nathats > me on every <5437 cabab

hope <8615 tiqvah > hath he removed <5265 naca< > like a tree

<6086 <ets > .

 : 11 He hath also kindled <2734 charah > his wrath <0639 >aph >

against <5921 <al > me ,  and he counteth <2803 chashab > me

unto him as  [ one of ]  his enemies <6862 tsar > .

 : 12 His troops <1416 g@duwd > come <0935 bow> > together <3162

yachad > ,  and raise <5549 calal > up their way <1870 derek >

against <5921 <al > me ,  and encamp <2583 chanah > round <5439

cabiyb > about my tabernacle <0168 >ohel > .

 : 13 He hath put my brethren <0251 >ach > far <7350 rachowq >

from me ,  andmine acquaintance <3045 yada< > are verily <0389

>ak > estranged <2114 zuwr > from me .

 : 14 My kinsfolk <7138 qarowb > have failed <2308 chadal > ,  

and my familiar <3045 yada< > friends have forgotten <7911

shakach > me .

 : 15 They that dwell <1481 guwr > in mine house <1004 bayith > ,

  and my maids <0519 >amah > ,  count <2803 chashab > me for a

stranger <2114 zuwr > : I am an alien <5237 nokriy > in their

sight <5869 <ayin > .

 : 16 I called <7121 qara> > my servant <5650 <ebed > ,  and he

gave  [ me ]  no <3808 lo> > answer <6030 <anah > ;  I intreated

<2603 chanan > him with my mouth <6310 peh > .

 : 17 My breath <7307 ruwach > is strange <2114 zuwr > to my

wife <0802 >ishshah > ,  though I intreated <2589 channowth >

for the children s <1121 ben >  [ sake ]  of mine own body <0990

beten > .

 : 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

 : 24 That they were graven <2672 chatsab > with an iron <1270

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

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

 : 25 For I know <3045 yada< >  [ that ]  my redeemer <1350

ga>al > liveth <2416 chay > ,  and  [ that ]  he shall stand

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

earth <6083 <aphar > :

 : 26 And  [ though ]  after <0310 >achar > my skin <5785 <owr >

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

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

<0433 >elowahh > :

 : 27 Whom <0834 >aher > I shall see <2372 chazah > for myself ,

 and mine eyes <5869 <ayin > shall behold <7200 ra>ah > ,  and

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

<avon > of the sword <2719 chereb > ,  that ye may know <3045

yada< >  [ there is ]  a judgment <1779 diyn > .

 : 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

moment <7281 rega< > ?

 : 6 Though his excellency <7863 siy> > mount <5927 <alah > up

to the heavens <8064 shamayim > ,  and his head <7218 ro>sh >

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

<5750 <owd > behold <7789 shuwr > him .

 : 10 .  His children <1121 ben > shall seek to please <7521

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

mathaq > in his mouth <6310 peh > ,   [ though ]  he hide <3582

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

> shall cast <3423 yarash > them out of his belly <0990 beten > .

 : 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

bow> > upon him .

 : 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

lachuwm > .

 : 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

>esh > not blown <5301 naphach > shall consume <0398 >akal > him

;  it shall go ill <3415 yara< > with him that is left <8300

sariyd > in his tabernacle <0168 >ohel > .

 : 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

 : 29 This <2088 zeh >  [ is ]  the portion <2506 cheleq > of a

wicked <7563 rasha< > man <0120 >adam > from God <0430 >elohiym

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

>achaz > hold <0270 >achaz > on my flesh <1320 basar > .

 : 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

chayil > ?

 : 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 > .

 : 24 His breasts <5845 <atiyn > are full <4390 male> > of milk

<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 .

 : 28 For ye say <0559 >amar > ,  Where <0346 >ayeh >  [ is ]  

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

 : 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

gobahh > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ?  and behold <7200 ra>ah >

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 > ?

 : 14 Thick clouds <5645 <ab >  [ are ]  a covering <5643 cether

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

 : 15 .  Hast thou marked <8104 shamar > the old <5769 <owlam >

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

<4962 math > have trodden <1869 darak > ?

 : 16 Which <0834 >aher > were cut <7059 qamat > down out of

time <6256 <eth > ,  whose foundation <3247 y@cowd > was

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

 : 17 Which said <0559 >amar > unto God <0410 >el > ,  Depart

<5493 cuwr > from us : and what <4100 mah > can the Almighty

<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

<etsah > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > is far <7350 rachowq >

from me .

 : 19 The righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > see <7200 ra>ah >  [ it ]  ,

  and are glad <8056 sameach > : and the innocent <5355 naqiy >

laugh <3932 la<ag > them to scorn .

 : 20 Whereas <0518 >im > our substance <7009 qiym > is not cut

<3582 kachad >down ,  but the remnant <3499 yether > of them the

fire <0784 >esh > consumeth <0398 >akal > .

 : 21 .  Acquaint <5532 cakan > now <4994 na> > thyself with him

,  and be at peace <7999 shalam > : thereby good <2896 towb >

shall come <0935 bow> > unto thee .

 : 22 Receive <3947 laqach > ,  I pray <4994 na> > thee ,  the

law <8451 towrah >from his mouth <6310 peh > ,  and lay <7760

suwm > up his words <0561 >emer > in thine heart <3824 lebab > .

 : 23 If <0518 >im > thou return <7725 shuwb > to the Almighty

<7706 Shadday > ,  thou shalt be built <1129 banah > up ,  thou

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

rachowq > from thy tabernacles <0168 >ohel > .

 : 24 Then shalt thou lay <7896 shiyth > up gold <1220 betser >

as dust <6083 <aphar > ,  and the  [ gold <1220 betser > ]  of

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

<5158 nachal > .

 : 25 Yea ,  the Almighty <7706 Shadday > shall be thy defence

<1220 betser > ,  and thou shalt have plenty <8443 tow<aphah >

of silver <3701 keceph > .

 : 26 For then <0227 >az > shalt thou have thy delight <6026

<anag > in the Almighty <7706 Shadday > ,  and shalt lift <5375

 : 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer <6279 <athar > unto him ,  and

he shall hear <8085 shama< > thee ,  and thou shalt pay <7999

shalam > thy vows <5088 neder > .

 : 28 Thou shalt also decree <1504 gazar > a thing <0562 >omer >

,  and it shall be established <6965 quwm > unto thee : and the

light <0216 >owr > shall shine <5050 nagahh > upon thy ways

<1870 derek > .

 : 29 When <3588 kiy >  [ men ]  are cast <8213 shaphel > down

<8213 shaphel > ,  then thou shalt say <0559 >amar > ,   [ There

is ]  lifting <1466 gevah > up ;  and he shall save <3467 yasha<

 : 30 He shall deliver <4422 malat > the island <0336 >iy > of

the innocent <5355 naqiy > : and it is delivered <4422 malat >

by the pureness <1252 bor > of thine hands <3709 kaph > .

 : Job 23

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

<0559 >amar > ,

 : 2 Even <1571 gam > to day <3117 yowm >  [ is ]  my complaint

<7878 siyach > bitter <4805 m@riy > : my stroke <3027 yad > is

heavier <3513 kabad > than <5921 <al > my groaning <0585

 : 3 Oh that I knew <3045 yada< > where I might find <4672

matsa> > him !   [ that ]  I might come <0935 bow> >  [ even ]  

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

shaphat > .

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

qedem > ,  but he  [ is ]  not  [ there <8033 sham > ]  ;  and

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

,  I shall come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > as gold

<2091 zahab > .

 : 11 My foot <7272 regel > hath held <0270 >achaz > his steps

<0838 >ashur > ,  his way <1870 derek > have I kept <8104 shamar

 : 12 Neither <3808 lo> > have I gone <4185 muwsh > back <4185

muwsh > from the commandment <4687 mitsvah > of his lips <8193

saphah > ;  I have esteemed <6845 tsaphan > the words <0561

choq >  [ food ]  .

 : 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 > .

 : 14 For he performeth <7999 shalam >  [ the thing that is ]  

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

hennah >  [ things are ]  with him .

 : 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

rakak > ,  and the Almighty <7706 Shadday > troubleth <0926

bahal > me :

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

before <6440 paniym > the darkness <2822 choshek > ,   [ neither

from my face <6440 paniym > .

 : Job 24

 : 1 .  Why <4069 madduwa< > ,  seeing <7200 ra>ah > times <6256

<eth > are not hidden <6845 tsaphan > from the Almighty <7706

Shadday > ,  do they that know <5234 nakar > him not see <2372

chazah > his days <3117 yowm > ?

 : 2  [ Some ]  remove <5472 cuwg > the landmarks <1367 g@buwlah

<5739 <eder > ,  and feed <7462 ra<ah >  [ thereof ]  .

 : 3 They drive <5090 nahag > away the ass <2543 chamowr > of

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

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

 : 4 They turn <5186 natah > the needy <34> out of the way <1870

hide <2244> themselves together <3162 yachad > .

 : 5 Behold <2005 hen > ,   [ as ]  wild <6501 pere> > asses

<6501 pere> > in the desert <4057 midbar > ,  go <3318 yatsa> >

they forth <3318 yatsa> > to their work <6467 po<al > ;  rising

 : 6 They reap <7114 qatsar >  [ every one ]  his corn <1098

b@liyl > in the field <7704 sadeh > : and they gather <3953

laqash > the vintage <3754 kerem > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > .

 : 7 They cause the naked <6174 <arowm > to lodge <3885 luwn >

have ]  no <0369 >ayin > covering <3682 k@cuwth > in the cold

<7135 qarah > .

 : 8 They are wet <7372 ratab > with the showers <2230 zerem >

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

<arowm > without <1097 b@liy > clothing <3830 l@buwsh > ,  and

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

the hungry <7456 ra<eb > ;

 : 12 Men <4962 math > groan <5008 na>aq > from out of the city

<5892 <iyr > ,  and the soul <5315 nephesh > of the wounded

<2491 chalal > crieth <7768 shava< > out : yet God <0433

 : 13 .  They are of those that rebel <4775 marad > against the

light <0216 >owr > ;  they know <5234 nakar > not the ways <1870

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

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

<aniy > and needy <34> ,  and in the night <3915 layil > is as a

 : 15 The eye <5869 <ayin > also of the adulterer <5003 na>aph >

waiteth <8104 shamar > for the twilight <5399 nesheph > ,

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

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

 : 19 Drought <6723 tsiyah > and heat <2527 chom > consume <1497

 : 20 The womb <7358 rechem > shall forget <7911 shakach > him ;

 : 21 He evil <7462 ra<ah > entreateth the barren <6135 <aqar >  

[ that ]  beareth <3205 yalad > not : and doeth not good <3190

 : 11 The pillars <5982 <ammuwd > of heaven <8064 shamayim >

tremble <7322 ruwph > and are astonished <8539 tamahh > at his

reproof <1606 g@<arah > .

 : 12 He divideth <7280 raga< > the sea <3220 yam > with his

power <3581 koach > ,  and by his understanding <8394 tabuwn >

 : Job 27

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

 : 2  [ As ]  God <0410 >el > liveth <2416 chay > ,   [ who ]

 : 6 My righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > I hold <2388 chazaq >

 : 8 For what <4100 mah >  [ is ]  the hope <8615 tiqvah > of

the hypocrite <2611 chaneph > ,  though <3588 kiy > he hath

 : 10 Will he delight <6026 <anag > himself in the Almighty

<7706 Shadday > ?  will he always call <7121 qara> > upon God

 : 11 .  I will teach <3384 yarah > you by the hand <3027 yad >

of God <0410 >el > :  [ that ]  which <0834 >aher >  [ is ]

 : 12 Behold <2005 hen > ,  all <3605 kol > ye yourselves have

seen <2372 chazah >  [ it ]  ;  why <4100 mah > then are ye thus

<2088 zeh > altogether vain <1891 habal > ?

 : 13 This <2088 zeh >  [ is ]  the portion <2506 cheleq > of a

and the heritage <5159 nachalah > of oppressors <6184 <ariyts > ,

raiment <4403 malbuwsh > as the clay <2563 chomer > ;

 : 22 For  [ God ]  shall cast <7993 shalak > upon him ,  and

 : Job 28

 : 1 .  Surely <3588 kiy > there is a vein <4161 mowtsa> > for

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

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

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

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

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

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

<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 > ,

<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

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

 : 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

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

 : 24 Howbeit he will not stretch <7971 shalach > out  [ his ]  

hand <3027 yad > to the grave <1164 b@<iy > ,  though <0518 >im

 : 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

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

 : 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

 : 9 .  If <0518 >im > mine heart <3820 leb > have been deceived

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

fashion <3559 kuwn > us in the womb <7358 rechem > ?

 : 23 For destruction <0343 >eyd >  [ from ]  God <0410 >el >  [

 : 32 The stranger <1616 ger > did not lodge <3885 luwn > in the

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

 : 3 Also against his three <7969 shalowsh > friends <7453 rea<

 : 4 Now Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > had waited <2442 chakah > till

Job <0347 >Iyowb > had spoken <1697 dabar > ,  because <3588 kiy

 : 6 .  And Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > the son <1121 ben > of

not shew <2331 chavah > you mine opinion <1843 dea< > .
