JOB-1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name [was] Job;


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