Job 1



 1. There was a man <0376> in the land <0776> of Uz <5780>, 
whose name <8034> [was] Job <0347>; and that man <0376> was 
perfect <8535> and upright <3477>, and one that feared <3373> 
God <0430>, and eschewed <5493> evil <7451>.



 2 And there were born <3205> unto him seven <7651> sons <1121> 
and three <7969> daughters <1121>.



 3 His substance <4735> also was seven <7651> thousand <0505> 
sheep <6629>, and three <7969> thousand <0505> camels <1581>, 
and five <2568> hundred <3967> yoke <6776> of oxen <1241>, and 
five <2568> hundred <3967> she asses <0860>, and a very <3966> 
great <7227> household <5657>; so that this <1931> man <0376> 
was the greatest <1419> of all <3605> the men <1121> of the east 
<6924>.



 4. And his sons <1121> went <1980> and feasted <4960> [in 
their] houses <1004>, every <0376> one <0376> his day <3117>; 
and sent <7971> and called <7121> for their three <7969> sisters 
<0269> to eat <0398> and to drink <8354> with them.



 5 And it was so, when <3588> the days <3117> of [their] 
feasting <4960> were gone <5362> about <5362>, that Job <0347> 
sent <7971> and sanctified <6942> them, and rose <7925> up early 
<7925> in the morning <1242>, and offered <5927> burnt <5930> 
offerings [according] to the number <4557> of them all <3605>: 
for Job <0347> said <0559>, It may <0194> be that my sons <1121> 
have sinned <2398>, and cursed <1288> God <0430> in their hearts 
<3824>. Thus <3602> did <6213> Job <0347> continually.



 6. Now there was a day <3117> when the sons <1121> of God 
<0430> came <0935> to present <3320> themselves before <5921> 
the LORD <3068>, and Satan <7854> came <0935> also <1571> among 
<8432> them.



 7 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Satan <7854>, Whence 
<0370> comest <0935> thou? Then Satan <7854> answered <6030> the 
LORD <3068>, and said <0559>, From going <7751> to and fro 
<7751> in the earth <0776>, and from walking <1980> up and down 
in it.



 8 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Satan <7854>, Hast thou 
considered my servant <5650> Job <0347>, that [there is] none 
<0369> like <3644> him in the earth <0776>, a perfect <8535> and 
an upright <3477> man <0376>, one that feareth <3373> God <0430>,
 and escheweth <5493> evil <7451>?



 9 Then Satan <7854> answered <6030> the LORD <3068>, and said 
<0559>, Doth Job <0347> fear <3372> God <0430> for nought <2600>?



 10 Hast not thou made an hedge <7753> about <1157> him, and 
about <1157> his house <1004>, and about <1157> all <3605> that 
he hath on every <5437> side <5439>? thou hast blessed <1288> 
the work <4639> of his hands <3027>, and his substance <4735> is 
increased <6555> in the land <0776>.



 11 But put <7971> forth <7971> thine hand <3027> now <4994>, 
and touch <5060> all <3605> that he hath, and he will curse 
<1288> thee to thy face <6440>.



 12 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Satan <7854>, Behold 
<2009>, all <3605> that he hath [is] in thy power <3027>; only 
<3535> upon himself put <7971> not forth <7971> thine hand 
<3027>. So Satan <7854> went <3318> forth <3318> from the 
presence <6440> of the LORD <3068>.



 13. And there was a day <3117> when his sons <1121> and his 
daughters <1121> [were] eating <0398> and drinking <8354> wine 
<3196> in their eldest <1060> brother's <0251> house <1004>:



 14 And there came <0935> a messenger <4397> unto Job <0347>, 
and said <0559>, The oxen <1241> were plowing <2790>, and the 
asses <0860> feeding <7462> beside them:



 15 And the Sabeans <7614> fell <5307> [upon them], and took 
<3947> them away; yea, they have slain <5221> the servants 
<5288> with the edge <6310> of the sword <2719>; and I only 
<7535> am escaped <4422> alone <0905> to tell <5046> thee.



 16 While he [was] yet speaking <1696>, there came <0935> also 
another <2088>, and said <0559>, The fire <0784> of God <0430> 
is fallen <5307> from heaven <8064>, and hath burned <1197> up 
the sheep <6629>, and the servants <5288>, and consumed <0398> 
them; and I only <7535> am escaped <4422> alone <0905> to tell 
<5046> thee.



 17 While he [was] yet speaking <1696>, there came <0935> also 
another <2088>, and said <0559>, The Chaldeans <3778> made 
<7760> out three <7969> bands <7218>, and fell <6584> upon the 
camels <1581>, and have carried <3947> them away, yea, and slain 
<5221> the servants <5288> with the edge <6310> of the sword 
<2719>; and I only <7535> am escaped <4422> alone <0905> to tell 
<5046> thee.



 18 While he [was] yet speaking <1696>, there came <0935> also 
another <2088>, and said <0559>, Thy sons <1121> and thy 
daughters <1121> [were] eating <0398> and drinking <8354> wine 
<3196> in their eldest <1060> brother's <0251> house <1004>:



 19 And, behold <2009>, there came <0935> a great <1419> wind 
<7307> from the wilderness <4057>, and smote <5060> the four 
<0702> corners <6438> of the house <1004>, and it fell <5307> 
upon the young <5288> men, and they are dead <4191>; and I only 
<7535> am escaped <4422> alone <0905> to tell <5046> thee.



 20. Then Job <0347> arose <6965>, and rent <7167> his mantle 
<4598>, and shaved <1494> his head <7218>, and fell <5307> down 
upon the ground <0776>, and worshipped <7812>,



 21 And said <0559>, Naked <6174> came <3318> I out of my 
mother's <0517> womb <0990>, and naked <6174> shall I return 
<7725> thither <8033>: the LORD <3068> gave <5414>, and the LORD 
<3068> hath taken <3947> away; blessed <1288> be the name <8034> 
of the LORD <3068>.



 22 In all <3605> this <2063> Job <0347> sinned <2398> not, nor 
<3808> charged <5414> God <0430> foolishly <8604>.



Job 2



 1. Again there was a day <3117> when the sons <1121> of God 
<0430> came <0935> to present <3320> themselves before <5921> 
the LORD <3068>, and Satan <7854> came <0935> also <1571> among 
<8432> them to present <3320> himself before <6440> the LORD 
<3068>.



 2 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Satan <7854>, From 
whence comest <0935> thou? And Satan <7854> answered <6030> the 
LORD <3068>, and said <0559>, From going <7751> to and fro 
<7751> in the earth <0776>, and from walking <1980> up and down 
in it.



 3 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Satan <7854>, Hast thou 
considered my servant <5650> Job <0347>, that [there is] none 
<0369> like <3644> him in the earth <0776>, a perfect <8535> and 
an upright <3477> man <0376>, one that feareth <3373> God <0430>,
 and escheweth <5493> evil <7451>? and still <5750> he holdeth 
<2388> fast his integrity <8538>, although thou movedst <5496> 
me against him, to destroy <1104> him without <2600> cause 
<2600>.



 4 And Satan <7854> answered <6030> the LORD <3068>, and said 
<0559>, Skin <5785> for skin <5785>, yea, all <3605> that a man 
<0376> hath will he give <5414> for his life <5315>.



 5 But put <7971> forth <7971> thine hand <3027> now <4994>, and 
touch <5060> his bone <6106> and his flesh <1320>, and he will 
curse <1288> thee to thy face <6440>.



 6 And the LORD <3068> said <0559> unto Satan <7854>, Behold 
<2009>, he [is] in thine hand <3027>; but save <8104> his life 
<5315>.



 7. So went <3318> Satan <7854> forth <3318> from the presence 
<6440> of the LORD <3068>, and smote <5221> Job <0347> with sore 
<7451> boils <7822> from the sole <3709> of his foot <7272> unto 
his crown <6936>.



 8 And he took <3947> him a potsherd <2789> to scrape <1623> 
himself withal; and he sat <3427> down among <8432> the ashes 
<0665>.



 9 Then said <0559> his wife <0802> unto him, Dost thou still 
<5750> retain <2388> thine integrity <8538>? curse <1288> God 
<0430>, and die <4191>.



 10 But he said <0559> unto her, Thou speakest <1696> as one 
<0259> of the foolish <5039> women speaketh <1696>. What <1571>? 
shall we receive <6901> good <2896> at the hand <0854> of God 
<0430>, and shall we not receive <6901> evil <7451>? In all 
<3605> this <2063> did not Job <0347> sin <2398> with his lips 
<8193>.



 11. Now when Job's <0347> three <7969> friends <7453> heard 
<8085> of all <3605> this <2063> evil <7451> that was come 
<0935> upon him, they came <0935> every <0376> one <0376> from 
his own place <4725>; Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <8489>, and 
Bildad <1085> the Shuhite <7747>, and Zophar <6691> the 
Naamathite <5284>: for they had made an appointment <3259> 
together <3162> to come <0935> to mourn <5110> with him and to 
comfort <5162> him.



 12 And when they lifted <5375> up their eyes <5869> afar <7350> 
off, and knew <5234> him not, they lifted <5375> up their voice 
<6963>, and wept <1058>; and they rent <7167> every <0376> one 
<0376> his mantle <4598>, and sprinkled <2236> dust <6083> upon 
their heads <7218> toward heaven <8064>.



 13 So they sat <3427> down with him upon the ground <0776> 
seven <7651> days <3117> and seven <7651> nights <3915>, and 
none <0369> spake <1696> a word <1697> unto him: for they saw 
<7200> that [his] grief <3511> was very <3966> great <1431>.



Job 3



 1. After <0310> this <3651> opened <6605> Job <0347> his mouth 
<6310>, and cursed <7043> his day <3117>.



 2 And Job <0347> spake <6030>, and said <0559>,



 3 Let the day <3117> perish <6> wherein I was born <3205>, and 
the night <3915> [in which] it was said <0559>, There is a man 
<1397> child conceived <2030>.



 4 Let that day <3117> be darkness <2822>; let not God <0433> 
regard <1875> it from above <4605>, neither <0408> let the light 
<5105> shine <3313> upon it.



 5 Let darkness <2822> and the shadow <6757> of death <6757> 
stain <1350> it; let a cloud <6053> dwell <7931> upon it; let 
the blackness <3650> of the day <3117> terrify <1204> it.



 6 As [for] that night <3915>, let darkness <0652> seize <3947> 
upon it; let it not be joined <2302> unto the days <3117> of the 
year <8141>, let it not come <0935> into the number <4557> of 
the months <3391>.



 7 Lo <2009>, let that night <3915> be solitary <1565>, let no 
<0408> joyful <7445> voice come <0935> therein.



 8 Let them curse <5344> it that curse <0779> the day <3117>, 
who are ready <6264> to raise <5782> up their mourning <3382>.



 9 Let the stars <3556> of the twilight <5399> thereof be dark 
<2821>; let it look <6960> for light <0216>, but [have] none 
<0369>; neither <0408> let it see <7200> the dawning <6079> of 
the day <7837>:



 10 Because <3588> it shut <5462> not up the doors <1817> of my 
[mother's] womb <0990>, nor hid <5641> sorrow <3999> from mine 
eyes <5869>.



 11. Why <4100> died <4191> I not from the womb <7358>? [why] 
did I [not] give <1478> up the ghost <1478> when I came <3318> 
out of the belly <0990>?



 12 Why <4069> did the knees <1290> prevent <6923> me? or why 
<4069> the breasts <7699> that I should suck <3243>?



 13 For now <6258> should I have lain <7901> still and been 
quiet <8252>, I should have slept <3462>: then <0227> had I been 
at rest <5117>,



 14 With kings <4428> and counsellors <3289> of the earth <0776>,
 which built <1129> desolate <2723> places <2723> for themselves;



 15 Or <0176> with princes <8269> that had gold <2091>, who 
filled <4390> their houses <1004> with silver <3701>:



 16 Or <0176> as an hidden <2934> untimely <5309> birth <5309> I 
had not been <1961>; as infants <5768> [which] never <3808> saw 
<7200> light <0216>.



 17 There <8033> the wicked <7563> cease <2308> [from] troubling 
<7267>; and there <8033> the weary <3019> be at rest <5117>.



 18 [There] the prisoners <0615> rest <7599> together <3162>; 
they hear <8085> not the voice <6963> of the oppressor <5065>.



 19 The small <6996> and great <1419> are there <8033>; and the 
servant <5650> [is] free <2670> from his master <0113>.



 20. Wherefore <4100> is light <0216> given <5414> to him that 
is in misery <6001>, and life <2416> unto the bitter <4751> [in] 
soul <5315>;



 21 Which long <2442> for death <4194>, but it [cometh] not; and 
dig <2658> for it more than for hid <4301> treasures <4301>;



 22 Which rejoice <8055> exceedingly, [and] are glad <7797>, 
when <3588> they can find <4672> the grave <6913>?



 23 [Why is light given] to a man <1397> whose <0834> way <1870> 
is hid <5641>, and whom God <0433> hath hedged <5526> in?



 24 For my sighing <0585> cometh <0935> before <6440> I eat 
<3899>, and my roarings <7581> are poured <5413> out like the 
waters <4325>.



 25 For the thing which I greatly feared <6342> is come <0857> 
upon me, and that which <0834> I was afraid <3025> of is come 
<0935> unto me.



 26 I was not in safety <7951>, neither <3808> had I rest <8252>,
 neither <3808> was I quiet <5117>; yet trouble <7267> came 
<0935>.



Job 4



 1. Then Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <8489> answered <6030> and 
said <0559>,



 2 [If] we assay <5254> to commune <1697> with thee, wilt thou 
be grieved <3811>? but who <4310> can <3201> withhold <6113> 
himself from speaking <4405>?



 3 Behold <2009>, thou hast instructed <3256> many <7227>, and 
thou hast strengthened <2388> the weak <7504> hands <3027>.



 4 Thy words <4405> have upholden <6965> him that was falling 
<3782>, and thou hast strengthened <0553> the feeble <3766> 
knees <1290>.



 5 But now <6258> it is come <0935> upon thee, and thou faintest 
<3811>; it toucheth <5060> thee, and thou art troubled <0926>.



 6 [Is] not [this] thy fear <3374>, thy confidence <3690>, thy 
hope <8615>, and the uprightness <8537> of thy ways <1870>?



 7. Remember <2142>, I pray <4994> thee, who <4310> [ever] 
perished <6>, being innocent <5355>? or where <0375> were the 
righteous <6662> cut <3582> off?



 8 Even as I have seen <7200>, they that plow <2790> iniquity 
<0205>, and sow <2232> wickedness <5999>, reap <7114> the same.



 9 By the blast <5397> of God <0433> they perish <6>, and by the 
breath <7307> of his nostrils <0639> are they consumed <3615>.



 10 The roaring <7581> of the lion <0738>, and the voice <6963> 
of the fierce <7826> lion <7826>, and the teeth <8127> of the 
young <3715> lions <3715>, are broken <5421>.



 11 The old lion <3918> perisheth <6> for lack <1097> of prey 
<2964>, and the stout lion's <3833> whelps <1121> are scattered 
<6504> abroad <6504>.



 12. Now a thing <1697> was secretly <1589> brought <1589> to me,
 and mine ear <0241> received <3947> a little <8102> thereof.



 13 In thoughts <5587> from the visions <2384> of the night 
<3915>, when deep <8639> sleep <8639> falleth <5307> on <5921> 
men <0582>,



 14 Fear <6343> came <7122> upon me, and trembling <7460>, which 
made all <7230> my bones <6106> to shake <6342>.



 15 Then a spirit <7307> passed <2498> before <5921> my face 
<6440>; the hair <8185> of my flesh <1320> stood <5568> up:



 16 It stood <5975> still, but I could not discern <5234> the 
form <4758> thereof: an image <8544> [was] before <5048> mine 
eyes <5869>, [there was] silence <1827>, and I heard <8085> a 
voice <6963>, [saying],



 17 Shall mortal <0582> man <0582> be more just <6663> than God 
<0433>? shall a man <1396> be more pure <2891> than his maker 
<6213>?



 18 Behold <2005>, he put no <3808> trust <0539> in his servants 
<5650>; and his angels <4397> he charged <7760> with folly 
<8417>:



 19 How <0637> much <0637> less [in] them that dwell <7931> in 
houses <1004> of clay <2563>, whose <0834> foundation <3247> 
[is] in the dust <6083>, [which] are crushed <1792> before 
<6440> the moth <6211>?



 20 They are destroyed <3807> from morning <1242> to evening 
<6153>: they perish <6> for ever <5331> without any regarding 
<7760> [it].



 21 Doth not their excellency <3499> [which is] in them go 
<5265> away <5265>? they die <4191>, even without <3808> wisdom 
<2451>.



Job 5



 1. Call <7121> now <4994>, if there be any that will answer 
<6030> thee; and to which <4310> of the saints <6918> wilt thou 
turn <6437>?



 2 For wrath <3708> killeth <2026> the foolish <0191> man, and 
envy <7068> slayeth <4191> the silly <6601> one.



 3 I have seen <7200> the foolish <0191> taking root <8327>: but 
suddenly <6597> I cursed <5344> his habitation <5116>.



 4 His children <1121> are far <7350> from safety <3468>, and 
they are crushed <1792> in the gate <8179>, neither <0369> [is 
there] any to deliver <5337> [them].



 5 Whose <0834> harvest <7105> the hungry <7456> eateth <0398> 
up, and taketh <3947> it even out of the thorns <6791>, and the 
robber <6782> swalloweth <7602> up their substance <2428>.



 6. Although <3588> affliction <0205> cometh <3318> not forth 
<3318> of the dust <6083>, neither <3808> doth trouble <5999> 
spring <6779> out of the ground <0127>;



 7 Yet <3588> man <0120> is born <3205> unto trouble <5999>, as 
the sparks <7565> fly <5774> upward <1361>.



 8 I would seek <1875> unto God <0410>, and unto God <0430> 
would I commit <7760> my cause <1700>:



 9 Which doeth <6213> great <1419> things and unsearchable; 
marvellous <6381> things without number <4557>:



 10 Who giveth <5414> rain <4306> upon the earth <0776>, and 
sendeth <7971> waters <4325> upon the fields <2351>:



 11 To set <7760> up on high <4791> those that be low <8217>; 
that those which mourn <6937> may be exalted <7682> to safety 
<3468>.



 12 He disappointeth <6565> the devices <4284> of the crafty 
<6175>, so that their hands <3027> cannot perform [their] 
enterprise <8454>.



 13 He taketh <3920> the wise <2450> in their own craftiness 
<6193>: and the counsel <6098> of the froward <6617> is carried 
<4116> headlong.



 14 They meet <6298> with darkness <2822> in the daytime <3119>, 
and grope <4959> in the noonday <6672> as in the night <3915>.



 15 But he saveth <3467> the poor <34> from the sword <2719>, 
from their mouth <6310>, and from the hand <3027> of the mighty 
<2389>.



 16 So the poor <1800> hath <1961> hope <8615>, and iniquity 
<5766> stoppeth <7092> her mouth <6310>.



 17. Behold <2009>, happy <0835> [is] the man <0582> whom God 
<0433> correcteth <3198>: therefore despise <3988> not thou the 
chastening <4148> of the Almighty <7706>:



 18 For he maketh sore <3510>, and bindeth <2280> up: he 
woundeth <4272>, and his hands <3027> make whole <7495>.



 19 He shall deliver <5337> thee in six <8337> troubles <6869>: 
yea, in seven <7651> there shall no <3808> evil <7451> touch 
<5060> thee.



 20 In famine <7458> he shall redeem <6299> thee from death 
<4194>: and in war <4421> from the power <3027> of the sword 
<2719>.



 21 Thou shalt be hid <2244> from the scourge <7752> of the 
tongue <3956>: neither <3808> shalt thou be afraid <3372> of 
destruction <7701> when <3588> it cometh <0935>.



 22 At destruction <7701> and famine <3720> thou shalt laugh 
<7832>: neither <0408> shalt thou be afraid <3372> of the beasts 
<2416> of the earth <0776>.



 23 For thou shalt be in league <1285> with the stones <68> of 
the field <7704>: and the beasts <2416> of the field <7704> 
shall be at peace <7999> with thee.



 24 And thou shalt know <3045> that thy tabernacle <0168> [shall 
be] in peace <7965>; and thou shalt visit <6485> thy habitation 
<5116>, and shalt not sin <2398>.



 25 Thou shalt know <3045> also that thy seed <2233> [shall be] 
great <7227>, and thine offspring <6631> as the grass <6212> of 
the earth <0776>.



 26 Thou shalt come <0935> to [thy] grave <6913> in a full 
<3624> age <3624>, like as a shock <1430> of corn cometh <5927> 
in in his season <6256>.



 27 Lo <2009> this <2063>, we have searched <2713> it, so <3651> 
it [is]; hear <8085> it, and know <3045> thou [it] for thy good.



Job 6



 1. But Job <0347> answered <6030> and said <0559>,



 2 Oh that my grief <3708> were throughly weighed <8254>, and my 
calamity <1942> laid <5375> in the balances <3976> together 
<3162>!



 3 For now <6258> it would be heavier <3513> than the sand 
<2344> of the sea <3220>: therefore my words <1697> are 
swallowed <3886> up.



 4 For the arrows <2671> of the Almighty <7706> [are] within 
<5978> me, the poison <2534> whereof <0834> drinketh <8354> up 
my spirit <7307>: the terrors <1161> of God <0433> do set 
themselves in array <6186> against me.



 5 Doth the wild <6501> ass <6501> bray <5101> when he hath 
grass <1877>? or loweth <1600> the ox <7794> over <5921> his 
fodder <1098>?



 6 Can that which is unsavoury <8602> be eaten <0398> without 
<1097> salt <4417>? or is there <8033> [any] taste <2940> in the 
white <7388> of an egg <2495>?



 7 The things [that] my soul <5315> refused <3985> to touch 
<5060> [are] as my sorrowful <1741> meat <3899>.



 8. Oh that I might have <0935> my request <7596>; and that God 
<0433> would grant <5414> [me] the thing that I long <8615> for!



 9 Even that it would please <2894> God <0433> to destroy <1792> 
me; that he would let loose <5425> his hand <3027>, and cut 
<1214> me off!



 10 Then should I yet <5750> have <1961> comfort <5165>; yea, I 
would harden <5539> myself in sorrow <2427>: let him not spare 
<2550>; for I have not concealed <3582> the words <0561> of the 
Holy <6918> One.



 11 What <4100> [is] my strength <3581>, that I should hope 
<3176>? and what <4100> [is] mine end <7093>, that I should 
prolong <0748> my life <5315>?



 12 [Is] my strength <3581> the strength <3581> of stones <68>? 
or [is] my flesh <1320> of brass <5153>?



 13 [Is] not my help <5833> in me? and is wisdom <8454> driven 
<5080> quite <5080> from me?



 14. To him that is afflicted <4523> pity <2617> [should be 
shewed] from his friend <7453>; but he forsaketh <5800> the fear 
<3374> of the Almighty <7706>.



 15 My brethren <0251> have dealt deceitfully <0898> as a brook 
<5158>, [and] as the stream <0650> of brooks <5158> they pass 
<5674> away;



 16 Which are blackish <6937> by reason <4480> of the ice <7140>,
 [and] wherein the snow <7950> is hid <5956>:



 17 What time <6256> they wax warm <2215>, they vanish <6789>: 
when it is hot <2527>, they are consumed <1846> out of their 
place <4725>.



 18 The paths <0734> of their way <1870> are turned <3943> aside 
<3943>; they go <5927> to nothing <8414>, and perish <6>.



 19 The troops <0734> of Tema <8485> looked <5027>, the 
companies <1979> of Sheba <7614> waited <6960> for them.



 20 They were confounded <0954> because <3588> they had hoped 
<0982>; they came <0935> thither <5704>, and were ashamed <2659>.



 21 For now <6258> ye are nothing <3808>; ye see <7200> [my] 
casting <2866> down, and are afraid <3372>.



 22. Did I say <0559>, Bring <6051> unto me? or, Give a reward 
<7809> for me of your substance <3581>?



 23 Or, Deliver <4422> me from the enemy's <6862> hand <3027>? 
or, Redeem <6299> me from the hand <3027> of the mighty <6184>?



 24 Teach <3384> me, and I will hold <2790> my tongue <2790>: 
and cause me to understand <0995> wherein <4100> I have erred 
<7683>.



 25 How <4100> forcible <4834> are right <3476> words <0561>! 
but what <4100> doth your arguing <3198> reprove <3198>?



 26 Do ye imagine <2803> to reprove <3198> words <4405>, and the 
speeches <0561> of one that is desperate <2976>, [which are] as 
wind <7307>?



 27 Yea <0637>, ye overwhelm <5307> the fatherless <3490>, and 
ye dig <3738> [a pit] for your friend <7451>.



 28 Now <6258> therefore be content <2974>, look <6437> upon me; 
for [it is] evident unto you if <0518> I lie <3576>.



 29 Return <7725>, I pray <4994> you, let it not be iniquity 
<5766>; yea, return <7725> again <5750>, my righteousness <6664> 
[is] in it.



 30 Is there iniquity <5766> in my tongue <3956>? cannot <3808> 
my taste <2441> discern <0995> perverse <1942> things?



Job 7



 1. [Is there] not an appointed <6635> time <6635> to man <0582> 
upon earth <0776>? [are not] his days <3117> also like the days 
<3117> of an hireling <7916>?



 2 As a servant <5650> earnestly desireth <7602> the shadow 
<6738>, and as an hireling <7916> looketh <6960> for [the reward 
of] his work <6467>:



 3 So <3651> am I made to possess <5157> months <3391> of vanity 
<7723>, and wearisome <5999> nights <3915> are appointed <4487> 
to me.



 4 When <4970> I lie <7901> down <7901>, I say <0559>, When 
<4970> shall I arise <6965>, and the night <6153> be gone 
<4059>? and I am full <7646> of tossings <5076> to and fro unto 
the dawning <5399> of the day <5399>.



 5 My flesh <1320> is clothed <3847> with worms <7415> and clods 
<1487> of dust <6083>; my skin <5785> is broken <7280>, and 
become <3988> loathsome <3988>.



 6 My days <3117> are swifter <7043> than a weaver's shuttle 
<0708>, and are spent <3615> without <0657> hope <8615>.



 7. O remember <2142> that my life <2416> [is] wind <7307>: mine 
eye <5869> shall no <3808> more <7725> see <7200> good <2896>.



 8 The eye <5869> of him that hath seen <7210> me shall see 
<7789> me no <3808> [more]: thine eyes <5869> [are] upon me, and 
I [am] not.



 9 [As] the cloud <6051> is consumed <3615> and vanisheth <3212> 
away: so <3651> he that goeth <3381> down <3381> to the grave 
<7585> shall come <5927> up no <3808> [more].



 10 He shall return <7725> no <3808> more <5750> to his house 
<1004>, neither <3808> shall his place <4725> know <5234> him 
any more <5750>.



 11 Therefore <1571> I will not refrain <2820> my mouth <6310>; 
I will speak <1696> in the anguish <6862> of my spirit <7307>; I 
will complain <7878> in the bitterness <4751> of my soul <5315>.



 12 [Am] I a sea <3220>, or a whale <8577>, that thou settest 
<7760> a watch <4929> over <5921> me?



 13 When <3588> I say <0559>, My bed <6210> shall comfort <5162> 
me, my couch <4904> shall ease <5375> my complaint <7878>;



 14 Then thou scarest <2865> me with dreams <2472>, and 
terrifiest <1204> me through visions <2384>:



 15 So that my soul <5315> chooseth <0977> strangling <4267>, 
[and] death <4194> rather than my life <6106>.



 16 I loathe <3988> [it]; I would not live <2421> alway <5769>: 
let me alone <2308>; for my days <3117> [are] vanity <1892>.



 17. What <4100> [is] man <0582>, that thou shouldest magnify 
<1431> him? and that thou shouldest set <7896> thine heart 
<3820> upon him?



 18 And [that] thou shouldest visit <6485> him every morning 
<1242>, [and] try <0974> him every moment <7281>?



 19 How <5704> long <4101> wilt thou not depart <8159> from me, 
nor <3808> let me alone <7503> till <5704> I swallow <1104> down 
my spittle <7536>?



 20 I have sinned <2398>; what <4100> shall I do <6466> unto 
thee, O thou preserver <5314> of men <0120>? why <4100> hast 
thou set <7760> me as a mark <4645> against thee, so that I am a 
burden <4853> to myself?



 21 And why <4100> dost thou not pardon <5375> my transgression 
<6588>, and take <5674> away <5674> mine iniquity <5771>? for 
now <6258> shall I sleep <7901> in the dust <6083>; and thou 
shalt seek <7836> me in the morning <7836>, but I [shall] not 
[be].



Job 8



 1. Then answered <6030> Bildad <1085> the Shuhite <7747>, and 
said <0559>,



 2 How <5704> long <5704> wilt thou speak <4448> these <0428> 
[things]? and [how long shall] the words <0561> of thy mouth 
<6310> [be like] a strong <3524> wind <7307>?



 3 Doth God <0410> pervert <5791> judgment <4941>? or doth the 
Almighty <7706> pervert <5791> justice <6664>?



 4 If <0518> thy children <1121> have sinned <2398> against him, 
and he have cast <7971> them away for their transgression <6588>;



 5 If <0518> thou wouldest seek <7836> unto God <0410> betimes 
<7836>, and make thy supplication <2603> to the Almighty <7706>;



 6 If <0518> thou [wert] pure <2134> and upright <3477>; surely 
<3588> now <6258> he would awake <5782> for thee, and make the 
habitation <5116> of thy righteousness <6664> prosperous <7999>.



 7 Though thy beginning <7225> was small <4705>, yet thy latter 
<0319> end should greatly <3966> increase <7685>.



 8. For enquire <7592>, I pray <4994> thee, of the former <7223> 
age <1755>, and prepare <3559> thyself to the search <2714> of 
their fathers <1>:



 9 (For we [are but of] yesterday <8543>, and know <3045> 
nothing <3808>, because <3588> our days <3117> upon earth <0776> 
[are] a shadow <6738>:)



 10 Shall not they teach <3384> thee, [and] tell <0559> thee, 
and utter <3318> words <4405> out of their heart <3820>?



 11 Can the rush <1573> grow <1342> up without <3808> mire 
<1207>? can the flag <0260> grow <6779> without <1097> water 
<4325>?



 12 Whilst <5704> it [is] yet <5750> in his greenness <3>, [and] 
not cut <6998> down, it withereth <3001> before <6440> any 
<3605> [other] herb <2682>.



 13 So <3651> [are] the paths <0734> of all <3605> that forget 
<7911> God <0410>; and the hypocrite's <2611> hope <8615> shall 
perish <6>:



 14 Whose <0834> hope <3689> shall be cut <6990> off, and whose 
trust <4009> [shall be] a spider's <5908> web <1004>.



 15 He shall lean <8172> upon his house <1004>, but it shall not 
stand <5975>: he shall hold <2388> it fast, but it shall not 
endure <6965>.



 16 He [is] green <7373> before <6440> the sun <8121>, and his 
branch <3127> shooteth <3318> forth <3318> in his garden <1593>.



 17 His roots <8328> are wrapped <5440> about <5440> the heap 
<1530>, [and] seeth <2372> the place <1004> of stones <68>.



 18 If <0518> he destroy <1104> him from his place <4725>, then 
[it] shall deny <3584> him, [saying], I have not seen <7200> 
thee.



 19 Behold <2005>, this <1931> [is] the joy <4885> of his way 
<1870>, and out of the earth <6083> shall others <0312> grow 
<6779>.



 20. Behold <2005>, God <0410> will not cast <3988> away a 
perfect <8535> [man], neither <3808> will he help <2388> the 
evil <7489> doers:



 21 Till <5704> he fill <4390> thy mouth <6310> with laughing 
<7814>, and thy lips <8193> with rejoicing <8643>.



 22 They that hate <8130> thee shall be clothed <3847> with 
shame <1322>; and the dwelling <0168> place of the wicked <7563> 
shall come to nought <0369>.



Job 9



 1. Then Job <0347> answered <6030> and said <0559>,



 2 I know <3045> [it is] so <3651> of a truth <0551>: but how 
<4100> should man <0582> be just <6663> with God <0410>?



 3 If <0518> he will contend <7378> with him, he cannot <3808> 
answer <6030> him one <0259> of a thousand <0505>.



 4 [He is] wise <2450> in heart <3824>, and mighty <0533> in 
strength <3581>: who <4310> hath hardened <7185> [himself] 
against <0413> him, and hath prospered <7999>?



 5 Which removeth <6275> the mountains <2022>, and they know 
<3045> not: which <0834> overturneth <2015> them in his anger 
<0639>.



 6 Which shaketh <7264> the earth <0776> out of her place <4725>,
 and the pillars <5982> thereof tremble <6426>.



 7 Which commandeth <0559> the sun <2775>, and it riseth <2224> 
not; and sealeth <2856> up the stars <3556>.



 8 Which alone <0905> spreadeth <5186> out the heavens <8064>, 
and treadeth <1869> upon the waves <1116> of the sea <3220>.



 9 Which maketh <6213> Arcturus <5906>, Orion <3685>, and 
Pleiades <3598>, and the chambers <2315> of the south <8486>.



 10 Which doeth <6213> great <1419> things past <0369> finding 
<2714> out; yea, and wonders <6381> without number <4557>.



 11 Lo <2005>, he goeth <5674> by me, and I see <7200> [him] not:
 he passeth <2498> on also, but I perceive <0995> him not.



 12 Behold <2005>, he taketh <2862> away <2862>, who <4310> can 
hinder <7725> him? who <4310> will say <0559> unto him, What 
<4100> doest <6213> thou?



 13 [If] God <0433> will not withdraw <7725> his anger <0639>, 
the proud <7293> helpers <5826> do stoop <7817> under <8478> him.



 14. How <0637> much less shall I answer <6030> him, [and] 
choose <0977> out my words <1697> [to reason] with him?



 15 Whom <0834>, though <0518> I were righteous <6663>, [yet] 
would I not answer <6030>, [but] I would make supplication 
<2603> to my judge <8199>.



 16 If <0518> I had called <7121>, and he had answered <6030> me;
 [yet] would I not believe <0539> that he had hearkened <0238> 
unto my voice <6963>.



 17 For he breaketh <7779> me with a tempest <8183>, and 
multiplieth <7235> my wounds <6482> without <2600> cause <2600>.



 18 He will not suffer <5414> me to take my breath <7307>, but 
filleth <7646> me with bitterness <4472>.



 19 If <0518> [I speak] of strength <3581>, lo <2009>, [he is] 
strong <0533>: and if <0518> of judgment <4941>, who <4310> 
shall set <3259> me a time [to plead]?



 20 If <0518> I justify <6663> myself, mine own mouth <6310> 
shall condemn <7561> me: [if I say], I [am] perfect <8535>, it 
shall also prove me perverse <6140>.



 21 [Though] I [were] perfect <8535>, [yet] would I not know 
<3045> my soul <5315>: I would despise <3988> my life <2416>.



 22. This <1931> [is] one <0259> [thing], therefore I said 
<0559> [it], He destroyeth <3615> the perfect <8535> and the 
wicked <7563>.



 23 If <0518> the scourge <7752> slay <4191> suddenly <6597>, he 
will laugh <3932> at the trial <4531> of the innocent <5355>.



 24 The earth <0776> is given <5414> into the hand <3027> of the 
wicked <7563>: he covereth <4374> the faces <6440> of the judges 
<8199> thereof; if <0518> not, where <0645>, [and] who <4310> 
[is] he?



 25. Now my days <3117> are swifter <7043> than <4480> a post 
<7323>: they flee <1272> away, they see <7200> no <3808> good 
<2896>.



 26 They are passed <2498> away as the swift <16> ships <0591>: 
as the eagle <5404> [that] hasteth <2907> to the prey <0400>.



 27 If <0518> I say <0559>, I will forget <7911> my complaint 
<7878>, I will leave <5800> off my heaviness <6440>, and comfort 
<1082> [myself]:



 28 I am afraid <3025> of all <3605> my sorrows <6094>, I know 
<3045> that thou wilt not hold me innocent <5352>.



 29 [If] I be wicked <7561>, why <4100> then labour <3021> I in 
vain <1892>?



 30 If <0518> I wash <7364> myself with snow <7950> water <1119>,
 and make my hands <3709> never <1253> so clean <2141>;



 31 Yet <0227> shalt thou plunge <2881> me in the ditch <7845>, 
and mine own clothes <8008> shall abhor <8581> me.



 32 For [he is] not a man <0376>, as I [am, that] I should 
answer <6030> him, [and] we should come <0935> together <3162> 
in judgment <4941>.



 33 Neither <3808> is there any daysman <3198> betwixt <0996> us,
 [that] might lay <7896> his hand <3027> upon us both <8147>.



 34 Let him take <5493> his rod <7626> away <5493> from me, and 
let not his fear <0367> terrify <1204> me:



 35 [Then] would I speak <1696>, and not fear <3372> him; but 
[it is] not so <3651> with me.



Job 10



 1. My soul <5315> is weary <5354> of my life <2416>; I will 
leave <5800> my complaint <7878> upon myself; I will speak 
<1696> in the bitterness <4751> of my soul <5315>.



 2 I will say <0559> unto God <0433>, Do not condemn <7561> me; 
shew <3045> me wherefore thou contendest with me.



 3 [Is it] good <2896> unto thee that thou shouldest oppress 
<6231>, that thou shouldest despise <3988> the work <3018> of 
thine hands <3709>, and shine <3313> upon the counsel <6098> of 
the wicked <7563>?



 4 Hast thou eyes <5869> of flesh <1320>? or seest <7200> thou 
as man <0582> seeth <7200>?



 5 [Are] thy days <3117> as the days <3117> of man <0582>? [are] 
thy years <8141> as man's <1397> days <3117>,



 6 That thou enquirest <1245> after <0310> mine iniquity <5771>, 
and searchest <1875> after <0310> my sin <2403>?



 7 Thou knowest <1847> that I am not wicked <7561>; and [there 
is] none <0369> that can deliver <5337> out of thine hand <3027>.



 8. Thine hands <3027> have made <6087> me and fashioned <6213> 
me together <3162> round <5439> about; yet thou dost destroy 
<1104> me.



 9 Remember <2142>, I beseech <4994> thee, that thou hast made 
<6213> me as the clay <2563>; and wilt thou bring <7725> me into 
<0413> dust <6083> again <7725>?



 10 Hast thou not poured <5413> me out as milk <2461>, and 
curdled <7087> me like cheese <1385>?



 11 Thou hast clothed <3847> me with skin <5785> and flesh 
<1320>, and hast fenced <7753> me with bones <6106> and sinews 
<1517>.



 12 Thou hast granted <6213> me life <2416> and favour <2617>, 
and thy visitation <6486> hath preserved <8104> my spirit <7307>.



 13 And these <0428> [things] hast thou hid <6845> in thine 
heart <3824>: I know <3045> that this <2063> [is] with thee.



 14. If <0518> I sin <2398>, then thou markest <8104> me, and 
thou wilt not acquit <5352> me from mine iniquity <5771>.



 15 If <0518> I be wicked <7561>, woe <0480> unto me; and [if 
<0518>] I be righteous <6662>, [yet] will I not lift <5375> up 
my head <7218>. [I am] full <7646> of confusion <7036>; 
therefore see <7200> thou mine affliction <6040>;



 16 For it increaseth <1342>. Thou huntest <6679> me as a fierce 
<7826> lion <7826>: and again <7725> thou shewest thyself 
marvellous <6381> upon me.



 17 Thou renewest <2318> thy witnesses <5707> against <5048> me, 
and increasest <7235> thine indignation <3708> upon me; changes 
<2487> and war <6635> [are] against <5973> me.



 18 Wherefore <4100> then hast thou brought <3318> me forth 
<3318> out of the womb <7358>? Oh that I had given <1478> up the 
ghost <1478>, and no <3808> eye <5869> had seen <7200> me!



 19 I should have been <1961> as though I had not been <1961>; I 
should have been carried <2986> from the womb <0990> to the 
grave <6913>.



 20 [Are] not my days <3117> few <4592>? cease <2308> [then, 
and] let me alone <7896>, that I may take comfort <1082> a 
little <4592>,



 21 Before <2962> I go <3212> [whence] I shall not return <7725>,
 [even] to the land <0776> of darkness <2822> and the shadow 
<6757> of death <6757>;



 22 A land <0776> of darkness <5890>, as darkness <5890> [itself;
 and] of the shadow <6738> of death <6757>, without <3808> any 
order <5468>, and [where] the light <3313> [is] as darkness 
<0652>.



Job 11



 1. Then answered <6030> Zophar <6691> the Naamathite <5284>, 
and said <0559>,



 2 Should not the multitude <7230> of words <1697> be answered 
<6030>? and should a man <0376> full of talk <8193> be justified 
<6663>?



 3 Should thy lies <0907> make men <4962> hold <2790> their 
peace <2790>? and when thou mockest <3932>, shall no <0369> man 
make thee ashamed <3637>?



 4 For thou hast said <0559>, My doctrine <3948> [is] pure 
<2134>, and I am clean <1249> in thine eyes <5869>.



 5 But oh that God <0433> would speak <1696>, and open <6605> 
his lips <8193> against <5973> thee;



 6 And that he would shew <5046> thee the secrets <8587> of 
wisdom <2451>, that [they are] double <3718> to that which is! 
Know <3045> therefore that God <0433> exacteth <5382> of thee 
[less] than thine iniquity <5771> [deserveth].



 7. Canst thou by searching <2714> find <4672> out God <0433>? 
canst thou find <4672> out the Almighty <7706> unto perfection 
<8503>?



 8 [It is] as high <1363> as heaven <8064>; what <4100> canst 
thou do <6466>? deeper <6013> than <4480> hell <7585>; what 
<4100> canst thou know <3045>?



 9 The measure <4055> thereof [is] longer <0752> than <4480> the 
earth <0776>, and broader <7342> than <4480> the sea <3220>.



 10 If <0518> he cut <2498> off, and shut <5462> up, or gather 
<6950> together, then who <4310> can hinder <7725> him?



 11 For he knoweth <3045> vain <7723> men <4962>: he seeth 
<7200> wickedness <0205> also; will he not then consider <0995> 
[it]?



 12 For vain <5014> man would be wise <3823>, though man be born 
<3205> [like] a wild <6501> ass's <6501> colt <5895>.



 13. If <0518> thou prepare <3559> thine heart <3820>, and 
stretch <6566> out thine hands <3709> toward <0413> him;



 14 If <0518> iniquity <0205> [be] in thine hand <3027>, put it 
far <7350> away, and let not wickedness <5766> dwell <7931> in 
thy tabernacles <0168>.



 15 For then <0227> shalt thou lift <5375> up thy face <6440> 
without spot <3971>; yea, thou shalt be stedfast <3332>, and 
shalt not fear <3372>:



 16 Because <3588> thou shalt forget <7911> [thy] misery <5999>, 
[and] remember <2142> [it] as waters <4325> [that] pass <5674> 
away:



 17 And [thine] age <2465> shall be clearer <6965> than the 
noonday <6672>; thou shalt shine <5774> forth, thou shalt be as 
the morning <1242>.



 18 And thou shalt be secure <0982>, because <3588> there is 
hope <8615>; yea, thou shalt dig <2658> [about <5439> thee, and] 
thou shalt take <7901> thy rest <7901> in safety <0983>.



 19 Also thou shalt lie <7257> down <7257>, and none <0369> 
shall make [thee] afraid <2729>; yea, many <7227> shall make 
suit <2470> unto thee.



 20 But the eyes <5869> of the wicked <7563> shall fail <3615>, 
and they shall not escape, and their hope <8615> [shall be as] 
the giving <4646> up of the ghost <5315>.



Job 12



 1. And Job <0347> answered <6030> and said <0559>,



 2 No <0551> doubt <0551> but ye [are] the people <5971>, and 
wisdom <2451> shall die <4191> with you.



 3 But I have understanding <3824> as well <71> as you; I [am 
<1961>] not inferior <5307> to you: yea, who <4310> knoweth 
<0854> not such <3644> things as these <0428>?



 4 I am [as] one mocked <7832> of his neighbour <7453>, who 
calleth <7121> upon God <0433>, and he answereth <6030> him: the 
just <6662> upright <8549> [man is] laughed <7832> to scorn.



 5 He that is ready <3559> to slip <4571> with [his] feet <7272> 
[is as] a lamp <3940> despised <0937> in the thought <6248> of 
him that is at ease <7600>.



 6. The tabernacles <0168> of robbers <7703> prosper <7951>, and 
they that provoke <7264> God <0410> are secure <0987>; into 
whose <0834> hand <3027> God <0433> bringeth <0935> [abundantly].



 7 But ask <7592> now <4994> the beasts <0929>, and they shall 
teach <3384> thee; and the fowls <5775> of the air <8064>, and 
they shall tell <5046> thee:



 8 Or <0176> speak <7878> to the earth <0776>, and it shall 
teach <3384> thee: and the fishes <1709> of the sea <3220> shall 
declare <5608> unto thee.



 9 Who <4310> knoweth <3045> not in all <3605> these <0428> that 
the hand <3027> of the LORD <3068> hath wrought <6213> this 
<2063>?



 10 In whose <0834> hand <3027> [is] the soul <5315> of every 
<3605> living <2416> thing, and the breath <7307> of all <3605> 
mankind.



 11 Doth not the ear <0241> try <0974> words <4405>? and the 
mouth <2441> taste <2938> his meat <0400>?



 12. With the ancient <3453> [is] wisdom <2451>; and in length 
<0753> of days <3117> understanding <8394>.



 13 With him [is] wisdom <2451> and strength <1369>, he hath 
counsel <6098> and understanding <8394>.



 14 Behold <2005>, he breaketh <2040> down <2040>, and it cannot 
<3808> be built <1129> again: he shutteth <5462> up a man <0376>,
 and there can be no <3808> opening <6605>.



 15 Behold <2005>, he withholdeth <6113> the waters <4325>, and 
they dry <3001> up: also he sendeth <7971> them out, and they 
overturn <2015> the earth <0776>.



 16 With him [is] strength <5797> and wisdom <8454>: the 
deceived <7683> and the deceiver <7686> [are] his.



 17 He leadeth <3212> counsellors <3289> away spoiled <7758>, 
and maketh the judges <8199> fools <1984>.



 18 He looseth <6605> the bond <4148> of kings <4428>, and 
girdeth <0631> their loins <4975> with a girdle <0232>.



 19 He leadeth <3212> princes <3548> away spoiled <7758>, and 
overthroweth <5557> the mighty <0386>.



 20 He removeth <5493> away the speech <8193> of the trusty 
<0539>, and taketh <3947> away the understanding <2940> of the 
aged <2205>.



 21 He poureth <8210> contempt <0937> upon princes <5081>, and 
weakeneth <7503> the strength <4206> of the mighty <0650>.



 22 He discovereth <1540> deep <6013> things out of darkness 
<2822>, and bringeth <3318> out to light <0216> the shadow 
<6757> of death <6757>.



 23 He increaseth <7679> the nations <1471>, and destroyeth <6> 
them: he enlargeth <7849> the nations <1471>, and straiteneth 
<5148> them [again].



 24 He taketh <5493> away <5493> the heart <3820> of the chief 
<7218> of the people <5971> of the earth <0776>, and causeth 
them to wander <8582> in a wilderness <8414> [where there is] no 
<3808> way <1870>.



 25 They grope <4959> in the dark <2822> without <3808> light 
<0216>, and he maketh them to stagger <8582> like [a] drunken 
<7910> [man].



Job 13



 1. Lo <2005>, mine eye <5869> hath seen <7200> all <3605> 
[this], mine ear <0241> hath heard <8085> and understood <0995> 
it.



 2 What ye know <1847>, [the same] do I know <3045> also <1571>: 
I [am] not inferior <5307> unto you.



 3 Surely <0199> I would speak <1696> to the Almighty <7706>, 
and I desire <2654> to reason <3198> with God <0410>.



 4 But ye [are] forgers <2950> of lies <8267>, ye [are] all 
<3605> physicians <7495> of no <0457> value <0457>.



 5 O that ye would altogether hold <2790> your peace <2790>! and 
it should be your wisdom <2451>.



 6 Hear <8085> now <4994> my reasoning <8433>, and hearken 
<7181> to the pleadings <7379> of my lips <8193>.



 7 Will ye speak <1696> wickedly <5766> for God <0410>? and talk 
<1696> deceitfully <7423> for him?



 8 Will ye accept <5375> his person <6440>? will ye contend 
<7378> for God <0410>?



 9 Is it good <2896> that he should search <2713> you out? or as 
one man <0582> mocketh <2048> another, do ye [so] mock <2048> 
him?



 10 He will surely reprove <3198> you, if <0518> ye do secretly 
<5643> accept <5375> persons <6440>.



 11 Shall not his excellency <7613> make you afraid <1204>? and 
his dread <6343> fall <5307> upon you?



 12 Your remembrances <2146> [are] like <4911> unto ashes <0665>,
 your bodies <1354> to bodies <1472> of clay <2563>.



 13. Hold <2790> your peace <2790>, let me alone, that I may 
speak <1696>, and let come <5674> on me what <4100> [will].



 14 Wherefore do I take <5375> my flesh <1320> in my teeth 
<8127>, and put <7760> my life <5315> in mine hand <3709>?



 15 Though he slay <6991> me, yet will I trust <3176> in him: 
but I will maintain <3198> mine own ways <1870> before him.



 16 He also <1571> [shall be] my salvation <3444>: for an 
hypocrite <2611> shall not come <0935> before <6440> him.



 17 Hear <8085> diligently my speech <4405>, and my declaration 
<0262> with your ears <0241>.



 18 Behold <2009> now <4994>, I have <1961> ordered <6186> [my] 
cause <4941>; I know <3045> that I shall be justified <6663>.



 19 Who <4310> [is] he [that] will plead <7378> with me? for now 
<6258>, if <3588> I hold <2790> my tongue <2790>, I shall give 
<1478> up the ghost <1478>.



 20 Only <0389> do <6213> not two <8147> [things] unto me: then 
<0227> will I not hide <5641> myself from thee.



 21 Withdraw <7368> thine hand <3709> far <7350> from me: and 
let not thy dread <0367> make me afraid <1204>.



 22 Then call <7121> thou, and I will answer <6030>: or <0176> 
let me speak <1696>, and answer <7725> thou me.



 23. How <4100> many [are] mine iniquities <5771> and sins 
<2403>? make me to know <3045> my transgression <6588> and my 
sin <2403>.



 24 Wherefore <4100> hidest <5641> thou thy face <6440>, and 
holdest <2803> me for thine enemy <0341>?



 25 Wilt thou break <6206> a leaf <5929> driven <5086> to and 
fro? and wilt thou pursue <7291> the dry <3002> stubble <7179>?



 26 For thou writest <3789> bitter <4846> things against <5921> 
me, and makest me to possess <3423> the iniquities <5771> of my 
youth <5271>.



 27 Thou puttest <7760> my feet <7272> also in the stocks <5465>,
 and lookest <8104> narrowly <8104> unto all <3605> my paths 
<0734>; thou settest a print <2707> upon the heels <8323> of my 
feet <7272>.



 28 And he, as a rotten <7538> thing, consumeth <1086>, as a 
garment <0899> that is moth <6211> eaten <0398>.



Job 14



 1. Man <0120> [that is] born <3205> of a woman <0802> [is] of 
few <7116> days <3117>, and full <7646> of trouble <7267>.



 2 He cometh <3318> forth <3318> like a flower <6731>, and is 
cut <5243> down: he fleeth <1272> also as a shadow <6738>, and 
continueth <5975> not.



 3 And dost thou open <6491> thine eyes <5869> upon such <2088> 
an one, and bringest <0935> me into judgment <4941> with thee?



 4 Who <4310> can bring <5414> a clean <2889> [thing] out of an 
unclean <2931>? not one <0259>.



 5 Seeing <0518> his days <3117> [are] determined <2782>, the 
number <4557> of his months <2320> [are] with thee, thou hast 
appointed <6213> his bounds <2706> that he cannot <3808> pass 
<5674>;



 6 Turn <8159> from him, that he may rest <2308>, till <5704> he 
shall accomplish <7521>, as an hireling <7916>, his day <3117>.



 7. For there is hope <8615> of a tree <6086>, if it be cut 
<3772> down, that it will sprout <2498> again <5750>, and that 
the tender <3127> branch thereof will not cease <2308>.



 8 Though <0518> the root <8328> thereof wax old <2204> in the 
earth <0776>, and the stock <1503> thereof die <4191> in the 
ground <6083>;



 9 [Yet] through the scent <7381> of water <4325> it will bud 
<6524>, and bring <6213> forth <6213> boughs <7105> like <3644> 
a plant <5194>.



 10 But man <1397> dieth <4191>, and wasteth <2522> away: yea, 
man <0120> giveth <1478> up the ghost <1478>, and where <0834> 
[is] he?



 11 [As] the waters <4325> fail <0235> from the sea <3220>, and 
the flood <5104> decayeth <2717> and drieth <3001> up:



 12 So man <0376> lieth <7901> down <7901>, and riseth <6965> 
not: till <5704> the heavens <8064> [be] no <1115> more, they 
shall not awake <6974>, nor <3808> be raised <5782> out of their 
sleep <8142>.



 13 O that thou wouldest hide <6845> me in the grave <7585>, 
that thou wouldest keep me secret <5641>, until <5704> thy wrath 
<0639> be past <7725>, that thou wouldest appoint <7896> me a 
set <2706> time, and remember <2142> me!



 14 If <0518> a man <1397> die <4191>, shall he live <2421> 
[again]? all <3605> the days <3117> of my appointed <6635> time 
<6635> will I wait <3176>, till <5704> my change <2487> come 
<0935>.



 15 Thou shalt call <7121>, and I will answer <6030> thee: thou 
wilt have a desire <3700> to the work <4639> of thine hands 
<3027>.



 16. For now <6258> thou numberest <5608> my steps <6806>: dost 
thou not watch <8104> over <5921> my sin <2403>?



 17 My transgression <6588> [is] sealed <2856> up in a bag 
<6872>, and thou sewest <2950> up mine iniquity <5771>.



 18 And surely <0199> the mountain <2022> falling <5307> cometh 
<5034> to nought <5034>, and the rock <6697> is removed <6275> 
out of his place <4725>.



 19 The waters <4325> wear <7833> the stones <68>: thou washest 
<7857> away the things which grow <5599> [out] of the dust 
<6083> of the earth <0776>; and thou destroyest <6> the hope 
<8615> of man <0582>.



 20 Thou prevailest <8630> for ever <5331> against him, and he 
passeth <1980>: thou changest <8138> his countenance <6440>, and 
sendest <7971> him away.



 21 His sons <1121> come to honour <3513>, and he knoweth <3045> 
[it] not; and they are brought <6819> low <6819>, but he 
perceiveth <0995> [it] not of them.



 22 But his flesh <1320> upon him shall have pain <3510>, and 
his soul <5315> within <5921> him shall mourn <56>.



Job 15



 1. Then answered <6030> Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <8489>, and 
said <0559>,



 2 Should a wise <2450> man utter vain <7307> knowledge <1847>, 
and fill <4390> his belly <0990> with the east <6921> wind 
<7307>?



 3 Should he reason <3198> with unprofitable <5532> talk <1697>? 
or with speeches <4405> wherewith he can do <5953> no <3808> 
good <3276>?



 4 Yea <0637>, thou castest <6565> off fear <3374>, and 
restrainest <1639> prayer <7878> before <6440> God <0410>.



 5 For thy mouth <6310> uttereth <0502> thine iniquity <5771>, 
and thou choosest <0977> the tongue <3956> of the crafty <6175>.



 6 Thine own mouth <6310> condemneth <7561> thee, and not I: yea,
 thine own lips <8193> testify <6030> against thee.



 7 [Art] thou the first <7223> man <0120> [that] was born 
<3205>? or wast thou made <2342> before <6440> the hills <1389>?



 8 Hast thou heard <8085> the secret <5475> of God <0433>? and 
dost thou restrain <1639> wisdom <2451> to thyself <0413>?



 9 What <4100> knowest <3045> thou, that we know <3045> not? 
[what] understandest <0995> thou, which <1931> [is] not in us?



 10 With us [are] both <1571> the grayheaded and very <3453> 
aged <3453> men, much <3524> elder than thy father <1>.



 11 [Are] the consolations <8575> of God <0410> small <4592> 
with thee? is there any secret <0328> thing <1697> with thee?



 12 Why <4100> doth thine heart <3820> carry <3947> thee away? 
and what <4100> do thy eyes <5869> wink <7335> at,



 13 That thou turnest <7725> thy spirit <7307> against <0413> 
God <0410>, and lettest [such] words <4405> go <3318> out of thy 
mouth <6310>?



 14 What <4100> [is] man <0582>, that he should be clean <2135>? 
and [he which is] born <3205> of a woman <0802>, that he should 
be righteous <6662>?



 15 Behold <2005>, he putteth no <3808> trust <0539> in his 
saints <6918>; yea, the heavens <8064> are not clean <2141> in 
his sight <5869>.



 16 How <0637> much more abominable <8581> and filthy <0444> 
[is] man <0376>, which drinketh <8354> iniquity <5766> like 
water <4325>?



 17. I will shew <2331> thee, hear <8085> me; and that [which] I 
have seen <2372> I will declare <5608>;



 18 Which <0834> wise <2450> men have told <5046> from their 
fathers <1>, and have not hid <3582> [it]:



 19 Unto whom <1992> alone <0905> the earth <0776> was given 
<5414>, and no <3808> stranger <2114> passed <5674> among <8432> 
them.



 20 The wicked <7563> man travaileth <2342> with pain all <3605> 
[his] days <3117>, and the number <4557> of years <8141> is 
hidden <6845> to the oppressor <6184>.



 21 A dreadful <6343> sound <6963> [is] in his ears <0241>: in 
prosperity <7965> the destroyer <7703> shall come <0935> upon 
him.



 22 He believeth <0539> not that he shall return <7725> out of 
darkness <2822>, and he is waited <6822> for of the sword <2719>.



 23 He wandereth <5074> abroad <5074> for bread <3899>, [saying],
 Where <0346> [is it]? he knoweth <3045> that the day <3117> of 
darkness <2822> is ready <3559> at his hand <3027>.



 24 Trouble <6862> and anguish <4691> shall make him afraid 
<1204>; they shall prevail <8630> against him, as a king <4428> 
ready <6264> to the battle <3593>.



 25 For he stretcheth <5186> out his hand <3027> against <0413> 
God <0410>, and strengtheneth <1396> himself against <0413> the 
Almighty <7706>.



 26 He runneth <7323> upon him, [even] on [his] neck <6677>, 
upon the thick <5672> bosses <1354> of his bucklers <4043>:



 27 Because <3588> he covereth <3680> his face <6440> with his 
fatness <2459>, and maketh <6213> collops <6371> of fat <6371> 
on [his] flanks <3689>.



 28 And he dwelleth <7931> in desolate <3582> cities <5892>, 
[and] in houses <1004> which no <3808> man inhabiteth <3427>, 
which <0834> are ready <6257> to become heaps <1530>.



 29 He shall not be rich <6238>, neither <3808> shall his 
substance <2428> continue <6965>, neither <3808> shall he 
prolong <5186> the perfection <4512> thereof upon the earth 
<0776>.



 30 He shall not depart <5493> out of darkness <2822>; the flame 
<7957> shall dry <3001> up his branches <3127>, and by the 
breath <7307> of his mouth <6310> shall he go <5493> away.



 31 Let not him that is deceived <8582> trust <0539> in vanity 
<7723>: for vanity <7723> shall be his recompence <8545>.



 32 It shall be accomplished <4390> before <3808> his time 
<3117>, and his branch <3712> shall not be green <7488>.



 33 He shall shake <2554> off his unripe <1154> grape <1154> as 
the vine <1612>, and shall cast <7993> off his flower <5328> as 
the olive <2132>.



 34 For the congregation <5712> of hypocrites <2611> [shall be] 
desolate <1565>, and fire <0784> shall consume <0398> the 
tabernacles <0168> of bribery <7810>.



 35 They conceive <2029> mischief <5999>, and bring <3205> forth 
<3205> vanity <0205>, and their belly <0990> prepareth <3559> 
deceit <4820>.



Job 16



 1. Then Job <0347> answered <6030> and said <0559>,



 2 I have heard <8085> many <7227> such <0428> things: miserable 
<5999> comforters <5162> [are] ye all <3605>.



 3 Shall vain <7307> words <1697> have an end <7093>? or <0176> 
what <4100> emboldeneth <4834> thee that thou answerest <6030>?



 4 I also <1571> could speak <1696> as ye [do]: if <3863> your 
soul <5315> were in my soul's <5315> stead <8478>, I could heap 
<2266> up words <4405> against <5921> you, and shake <5128> mine 
head <7218> at you.



 5 [But] I would strengthen <0553> you with my mouth <6310>, and 
the moving <5205> of my lips <8193> should asswage <2820> [your 
grief].



 6. Though <0518> I speak <1696>, my grief <3511> is not 
asswaged <2820>: and [though] I forbear <2308>, what <4100> am I 
eased <1980>?



 7 But now <6258> he hath made me weary <3811>: thou hast made 
desolate <8074> all <3605> my company <5712>.



 8 And thou hast filled <7059> me with wrinkles <7059>, [which] 
is a witness <5707> [against me]: and my leanness <3585> rising 
<6965> up in me beareth <6030> witness <6030> to my face <6440>.



 9 He teareth <2963> [me] in his wrath <0639>, who hateth <7852> 
me: he gnasheth <2786> upon me with his teeth <8127>; mine enemy 
<6862> sharpeneth <3913> his eyes <5869> upon me.



 10 They have gaped <6473> upon me with their mouth <6310>; they 
have smitten <5221> me upon the cheek <3895> reproachfully 
<2781>; they have gathered <4390> themselves together <3162> 
against <5921> me.



 11 God <0410> hath delivered <5462> me to the ungodly <5760>, 
and turned <3399> me over <5921> into <0413> the hands <3027> of 
the wicked <7563>.



 12 I was at ease <7961>, but he hath broken <6565> me asunder: 
he hath also taken <0247> [me] by my neck <6203>, and shaken 
<6327> me to pieces, and set <6965> me up for his mark <4307>.



 13 His archers <7228> compass <5437> me round <5437> about, he 
cleaveth <6398> my reins <3629> asunder, and doth not spare 
<2550>; he poureth <8210> out my gall <4845> upon the ground 
<0776>.



 14 He breaketh <6555> me with breach <6556> upon breach <6556>, 
he runneth <7323> upon me like a giant <1368>.



 15 I have sewed <8609> sackcloth <8242> upon my skin <1539>, 
and defiled <5953> my horn <7161> in the dust <6083>.



 16 My face <6440> is foul <2560> with weeping <1065>, and on 
<5921> my eyelids <6079> [is] the shadow <6757> of death <6757>;



 17. Not for [any] injustice <2555> in mine hands <3709>: also 
my prayer <8605> [is] pure <2134>.



 18 O earth <0776>, cover <3680> not thou my blood <1818>, and 
let my cry <2201> have <1961> no <0408> place <4725>.



 19 Also <1571> now <6258>, behold <2009>, my witness <5707> 
[is] in heaven <8064>, and my record <7717> [is] on high <4791>.



 20 My friends <7453> scorn <3887> me: [but] mine eye <5869> 
poureth <1811> out [tears] unto God <0433>.



 21 O that one might plead <3198> for a man <1397> with God 
<0433>, as a man <0120> [pleadeth] for his neighbour <7453>!



 22 When <3588> a few <4557> years <8141> are come <0857>, then 
I shall go <1980> the way <0734> [whence] I shall not return 
<7725>.



Job 17



 1. My breath <7307> is corrupt <2254>, my days <3117> are 
extinct <2193>, the graves <6913> [are ready] for me.



 2 [Are there] not mockers <2049> with me? and doth not mine eye 
<5869> continue <3885> in their provocation <4784>?



 3 Lay <7760> down now <4994>, put me in a surety <6148> with 
thee; who <4310> [is] he [that] will strike <8628> hands <3027> 
with me?



 4 For thou hast hid <6845> their heart <3820> from 
understanding <7922>: therefore shalt thou not exalt <7311> 
[them].



 5 He that speaketh <5046> flattery <2506> to [his] friends 
<7453>, even the eyes <5869> of his children <1121> shall fail 
<3615>.



 6 He hath made <3322> me also a byword <4914> of the people 
<5971>; and aforetime <6440> I was as a tabret <8611>.



 7 Mine eye <5869> also is dim <3543> by reason of sorrow <3708>,
 and all <3605> my members <3338> [are] as a shadow <6738>.



 8 Upright <3477> [men] shall be astonied <8074> at <5921> this 
<2063>, and the innocent <5355> shall stir <5782> up himself 
against <5921> the hypocrite <2611>.



 9 The righteous <6662> also shall hold <0270> on his way <1870>,
 and he that hath clean <2891> hands <3027> shall be stronger 
<0555> and stronger <0555>.



 10. But as for you all <3605>, do ye return <7725>, and come 
<0935> now <4994>: for I cannot <3808> find <4672> [one] wise 
<2450> [man] among you.



 11 My days <3117> are past <5674>, my purposes <2154> are 
broken <5423> off, [even] the thoughts <4180> of my heart <3824>.



 12 They change <7760> the night <3915> into day <3117>: the 
light <0216> [is] short <7138> because <6440> of darkness <2822>.



 13 If <0518> I wait <6960>, the grave <7585> [is] mine house 
<1004>: I have made <7502> my bed <3326> in the darkness <2822>.



 14 I have said <7121> to corruption <7845>, Thou [art] my 
father <1>: to the worm <7415>, [Thou art] my mother <0517>, and 
my sister <0269>.



 15 And where [is] now <0645> my hope <8615>? as for my hope 
<8615>, who <4310> shall see <7789> it?



 16 They shall go <3381> down <3381> to the bars <0905> of the 
pit <7585>, when <0518> [our] rest <5183> together <3162> [is] 
in the dust <6083>.



Job 18



 1. Then answered <6030> Bildad <1085> the Shuhite <7747>, and 
said <0559>,



 2 How <5704> long <5704> [will it be ere] ye make <7760> an end 
<7078> of words <4405>? mark <0995>, and afterwards <0310> we 
will speak <1696>.



 3 Wherefore <4069> are we counted <2803> as beasts <0929>, 
[and] reputed <2804> vile <2933> in your sight <5869>?



 4 He teareth <2963> himself <5315> in his anger <0639>: shall 
the earth <0776> be forsaken <5800> for thee? and shall the rock 
<6697> be removed <6275> out of his place <4725>?



 5. Yea <1571>, the light <0216> of the wicked <7563> shall be 
put <1846> out, and the spark <7632> of his fire <0784> shall 
not shine <5050>.



 6 The light <0216> shall be dark <2821> in his tabernacle 
<0168>, and his candle <5216> shall be put <1846> out with him.



 7 The steps <6806> of his strength <0202> shall be straitened 
<3334>, and his own counsel <6098> shall cast <7993> him down.



 8 For he is cast <7971> into a net <7568> by his own feet 
<7272>, and he walketh <1980> upon a snare <7639>.



 9 The gin <6341> shall take <0270> [him] by the heel <6119>, 
[and] the robber <6782> shall prevail <2388> against <5921> him.



 10 The snare <2256> [is] laid for him in the ground <0776>, and 
a trap <4434> for him in the way <5410>.



 11. Terrors <1091> shall make him afraid <1204> on every <5437> 
side <5439>, and shall drive <6327> him to his feet <7272>.



 12 His strength <0202> shall be hungerbitten <7457>, and 
destruction <0343> [shall be] ready <3559> at his side <6763>.



 13 It shall devour <0398> the strength <0905> of his skin 
<5785>: [even] the firstborn <1060> of death <4194> shall devour 
<0398> his strength <0905>.



 14 His confidence <4009> shall be rooted <5423> out of his 
tabernacle <0168>, and it shall bring <6805> him to the king 
<4428> of terrors <1091>.



 15 It shall dwell <7931> in his tabernacle <0168>, because [it 
is] none <1097> of his: brimstone <1614> shall be scattered 
<2219> upon his habitation <5116>.



 16 His roots <8328> shall be dried <3001> up beneath <8478>, 
and above <4605> shall his branch <7105> be cut <5243> off.



 17 His remembrance <2143> shall perish <6> from the earth 
<0776>, and he shall have no <3808> name <8034> in the street.



 18 He shall be driven <1920> from light <0216> into darkness 
<2822>, and chased <5074> out of the world <8398>.



 19 He shall neither <3808> have son <5209> nor <3808> nephew 
<5220> among his people <5971>, nor <3808> any remaining <8300> 
in his dwellings <4033>.



 20 They that come after <0314> [him] shall be astonied <8074> 
at <5921> his day <3117>, as they that went <6923> before <6931> 
were affrighted.



 21 Surely <0389> such <0428> [are] the dwellings <4908> of the 
wicked <5767>, and this <2088> [is] the place <4725> [of him 
that] knoweth <3045> not God <0410>.



Job 19



 1. Then Job <0347> answered <6030> and said <0559>,



 2 How <5704> long <5704> will ye vex <3013> my soul <5315>, and 
break <1792> me in pieces with words <4405>?



 3 These <2088> ten <6235> times <6471> have ye reproached 
<3637> me: ye are not ashamed <0954> [that] ye make yourselves 
strange <1970> to me.



 4 And be it indeed <0551> [that] I have erred <7683>, mine 
error <4879> remaineth <3885> with myself.



 5 If <0518> indeed <0551> ye will magnify <1431> [yourselves] 
against <5921> me, and plead <3198> against <5921> me my 
reproach <2781>:



 6 Know <3045> now <0645> that God <0433> hath overthrown <5791> 
me, and hath compassed <5362> me with his net <4685>.



 7 Behold <2005>, I cry <6817> out of wrong <2555>, but I am not 
heard <6030>: I cry <7768> aloud <7768>, but [there is] no 
<3808> judgment <4941>.



 8. He hath fenced <1443> up my way <0734> that I cannot <3808> 
pass <5674>, and he hath set <7760> darkness <2822> in my paths 
<5410>.



 9 He hath stripped <6584> me of my glory <3519>, and taken 
<5493> the crown <5850> [from] my head <7218>.



 10 He hath destroyed <5422> me on every <5437> side <5439>, and 
I am gone <3212>: and mine hope <8615> hath he removed <5265> 
like a tree <6086>.



 11 He hath also kindled <2734> his wrath <0639> against <5921> 
me, and he counteth <2803> me unto him as [one of] his enemies 
<6862>.



 12 His troops <1416> come <0935> together <3162>, and raise 
<5549> up their way <1870> against <5921> me, and encamp <2583> 
round <5439> about my tabernacle <0168>.



 13 He hath put my brethren <0251> far <7350> from me, and mine 
acquaintance <3045> are verily <0389> estranged <2114> from me.



 14 My kinsfolk <7138> have failed <2308>, and my familiar 
<3045> friends have forgotten <7911> me.



 15 They that dwell <1481> in mine house <1004>, and my maids 
<0519>, count <2803> me for a stranger <2114>: I am an alien 
<5237> in their sight <5869>.



 16 I called <7121> my servant <5650>, and he gave [me] no 
<3808> answer <6030>; I intreated <2603> him with my mouth 
<6310>.



 17 My breath <7307> is strange <2114> to my wife <0802>, though 
I intreated <2589> for the children's <1121> [sake] of mine own 
body <0990>.



 18 Yea <1571>, young children despised <3988> me; I arose 
<6965>, and they spake <1696> against me.



 19 All <3605> my inward <5475> friends <4962> abhorred <8581> 
me: and they whom I loved <0157> are turned <2015> against me.



 20 My bone <6106> cleaveth <1692> to my skin <5785> and to my 
flesh <1320>, and I am escaped <4422> with the skin <5785> of my 
teeth <8127>.



 21 Have pity <2603> upon me, have pity <2603> upon me, O ye my 
friends <7453>; for the hand <3027> of God <0433> hath touched 
<5060> me.



 22 Why <4100> do ye persecute <7291> me as God <0410>, and are 
not satisfied <7646> with my flesh <1320>?



 23. Oh that my words <4405> were now <0645> written <3789>! oh 
that they were printed <2710> in a book <5612>!



 24 That they were graven <2672> with an iron <1270> pen <5842> 
and lead <5777> in the rock <6697> for ever <5703>!



 25 For I know <3045> [that] my redeemer <1350> liveth <2416>, 
and [that] he shall stand <6965> at the latter <0314> [day] upon 
the earth <6083>:



 26 And [though] after <0310> my skin <5785> [worms] destroy 
<5362> this <2063> [body], yet in my flesh <1320> shall I see 
<2372> God <0433>:



 27 Whom <0834> I shall see <2372> for myself, and mine eyes 
<5869> shall behold <7200>, and not another <2114>; [though] my 
reins <3629> be consumed <3615> within <2436> me.



 28 But ye should say <0559>, Why <4100> persecute <7291> we him,
 seeing the root <8328> of the matter <1697> is found <4672> in 
me?



 29 Be ye afraid <1481> of the sword <2719>: for wrath <2534> 
[bringeth] the punishments <5771> of the sword <2719>, that ye 
may know <3045> [there is] a judgment <1779>.



Job 20



 1. Then answered <6030> Zophar <6691> the Naamathite <5284>, 
and said <0559>,



 2 Therefore <3651> do my thoughts <5587> cause me to answer 
<7725>, and for [this] I make haste <2363>.



 3 I have heard <8085> the check <4148> of my reproach <3639>, 
and the spirit <7307> of my understanding <0998> causeth me to 
answer <6030>.



 4 Knowest <3045> thou [not] this <2063> of old <5703>, since 
<4480> man <0120> was placed <7760> upon earth <0776>,



 5 That the triumphing <7445> of the wicked <7563> [is] short 
<7138>, and the joy <8057> of the hypocrite <2611> [but] for a 
moment <7281>?



 6 Though his excellency <7863> mount <5927> up to the heavens 
<8064>, and his head <7218> reach <5060> unto the clouds <5645>;



 7 [Yet] he shall perish <6> for ever <5331> like his own dung 
<1561>: they which have seen <7200> him shall say <0559>, Where 
<0335> [is] he?



 8 He shall fly <5774> away as a dream <2472>, and shall not be 
found <4672>: yea, he shall be chased <5074> away as a vision 
<2384> of the night <3915>.



 9 The eye <5869> also [which] saw <7805> him shall [see him] no 
<3808> more <3254>; neither <3808> shall his place <4725> any 
more <5750> behold <7789> him.



 10. His children <1121> shall seek to please <7521> the poor 
<1800>, and his hands <3027> shall restore <7725> their goods 
<0202>.



 11 His bones <6106> are full <4390> [of the sin] of his youth 
<5934>, which shall lie <7901> down <7904> with him in the dust 
<6083>.



 12 Though <0518> wickedness <7451> be sweet <4985> in his mouth 
<6310>, [though] he hide <3582> it under <8478> his tongue 
<3956>;



 13 [Though] he spare <2550> it, and forsake <5800> it not; but 
keep <4513> it still within <8432> his mouth <2441>:



 14 [Yet] his meat <3899> in his bowels <4578> is turned <2015>, 
[it is] the gall <4846> of asps <6620> within <7030> him.



 15 He hath swallowed <1104> down riches <2428>, and he shall 
vomit <6958> them up again: God <0410> shall cast <3423> them 
out of his belly <0990>.



 16 He shall suck <3243> the poison <7219> of asps <6620>: the 
viper's <0660> tongue <3956> shall slay <2026> him.



 17 He shall not see <7200> the rivers <6390>, the floods <5104>,
 the brooks <5158> of honey <1706> and butter <2529>.



 18 That which he laboured <3022> for shall he restore <7725>, 
and shall not swallow <1104> [it] down: according to [his] 
substance <2428> [shall] the restitution <8545> [be], and he 
shall not rejoice <5965> [therein].



 19 Because <3588> he hath oppressed <7533> [and] hath forsaken 
<5800> the poor <1800>; [because] he hath violently <1497> taken 
<1497> away <1497> an house <1004> which he builded <1129> not;



 20 Surely <3588> he shall not feel <3045> quietness <7961> in 
his belly <0990>, he shall not save <4422> of that which he 
desired <2530>.



 21 There shall none <0369> of his meat <0400> be left <8300>; 
therefore shall no <3808> man look <2342> for his goods <2898>.



 22 In the fulness <4390> of his sufficiency <5607> he shall be 
in straits <3334>: every <3605> hand <3027> of the wicked <6001> 
shall come <0935> upon him.



 23. [When] he is about to fill <4390> his belly <0990>, [God] 
shall cast <7971> the fury <2740> of his wrath <0639> upon him, 
and shall rain <4305> [it] upon him while he is eating <3894>.



 24 He shall flee <1272> from the iron <1270> weapon <5402>, 
[and] the bow <7198> of steel <5154> shall strike <2498> him 
through.



 25 It is drawn <8025>, and cometh <3318> out of the body <1465>;
 yea, the glittering <1300> sword <1300> cometh <1980> out of 
his gall <4846>: terrors <0367> [are] upon him.



 26 All <3605> darkness <2822> [shall be] hid <2244> in his 
secret <6845> places: a fire <0784> not blown <5301> shall 
consume <0398> him; it shall go ill <3415> with him that is left 
<8300> in his tabernacle <0168>.



 27 The heaven <8064> shall reveal <1540> his iniquity <5771>; 
and the earth <0776> shall rise <6965> up against him.



 28 The increase <2981> of his house <1004> shall depart <1540>, 
[and his goods] shall flow <5064> away in the day <3117> of his 
wrath <0639>.



 29 This <2088> [is] the portion <2506> of a wicked <7563> man 
<0120> from God <0430>, and the heritage <5159> appointed <0561> 
unto him by God <0410>.



Job 21



 1. But Job <0347> answered <6030> and said <0559>,



 2 Hear <8085> diligently my speech <4405>, and let this <2063> 
be your consolations <8575>.



 3 Suffer <5375> me that I may speak <1696>; and after <0310> 
that I have spoken <1696>, mock <3932> on.



 4 As for me, [is] my complaint <7878> to man <0120>? and if 
<0518> [it were so], why <4069> should not my spirit <7307> be 
troubled <7114>?



 5 Mark <6437> me, and be astonished <8074>, and lay <7760> 
[your] hand <3027> upon [your] mouth <6310>.



 6 Even when <0518> I remember <2142> I am afraid <0926>, and 
trembling <6427> taketh <0270> hold <0270> on my flesh <1320>.



 7. Wherefore <4069> do the wicked <7563> live <2421>, become 
<6275> old <6275>, yea <1571>, are mighty <1396> in power <2428>?



 8 Their seed <2233> is established <3559> in their sight <6440> 
with them, and their offspring <6631> before their eyes <5869>.



 9 Their houses <1004> [are] safe <7965> from fear <6343>, 
neither <3808> [is] the rod <7626> of God <0433> upon them.



 10 Their bull <7794> gendereth <5674>, and faileth <1602> not; 
their cow <6510> calveth <6403>, and casteth <7921> not her calf.



 11 They send <7971> forth their little <5759> ones like a flock 
<6629>, and their children <3206> dance <7540>.



 12 They take <5375> the timbrel <8596> and harp <3658>, and 
rejoice <8055> at the sound <6963> of the organ <5748>.



 13 They spend <3615> their days <3117> in wealth <2896>, and in 
a moment <7281> go <5181> down <5181> to the grave <7585>.



 14 Therefore they say <0559> unto God <0410>, Depart <5493> 
from us; for we desire <2654> not the knowledge <1847> of thy 
ways <1870>.



 15 What <4100> [is] the Almighty <7706>, that we should serve 
<5647> him? and what <4100> profit <3276> should we have, if we 
pray <6293> unto him?



 16 Lo <2005>, their good <2898> [is] not in their hand <3027>: 
the counsel <6098> of the wicked <7563> is far <7350> from me.



 17. How <4100> oft is the candle <5216> of the wicked <7563> 
put <1846> out! and [how oft] cometh <0935> their destruction 
<0343> upon them! [God] distributeth <2505> sorrows <2256> in 
his anger <0639>.



 18 They are as stubble <8401> before <6440> the wind <7307>, 
and as chaff <4671> that the storm <5492> carrieth <1589> away 
<1589>.



 19 God <0433> layeth <6845> up his iniquity <0205> for his 
children <1121>: he rewardeth <7999> him, and he shall know 
<3045> [it].



 20 His eyes <5869> shall see <7200> his destruction <3589>, and 
he shall drink <8354> of the wrath <2534> of the Almighty <7706>.



 21 For what <4100> pleasure <2656> [hath] he in his house 
<1004> after <0310> him, when the number <4557> of his months 
<2320> is cut <2686> off in the midst <2686>?



 22 Shall [any] teach <3925> God <0410> knowledge <1847>? seeing 
he judgeth <8199> those that are high <7311>.



 23 One dieth <4191> in his full <8537> strength <6106>, being 
wholly <3605> at ease <7946> and quiet <7961>.



 24 His breasts <5845> are full <4390> of milk <2461>, and his 
bones <6106> are moistened <8248> with marrow <4221>.



 25 And another <2088> dieth <4191> in the bitterness <4751> of 
his soul <5315>, and never <3808> eateth <0398> with pleasure 
<2896>.



 26 They shall lie <7901> down <7904> alike <3162> in the dust 
<6083>, and the worms <7415> shall cover <3680> them.



 27. Behold <2005>, I know <3045> your thoughts <4284>, and the 
devices <4209> [which] ye wrongfully <2554> imagine <2554> 
against <5921> me.



 28 For ye say <0559>, Where <0346> [is] the house <1004> of the 
prince <5081>? and where <0346> [are] the dwelling <4908> places 
<0168> of the wicked <7563>?



 29 Have ye not asked <7592> them that go <5674> by the way 
<1870>? and do ye not know <5234> their tokens <0226>,



 30 That the wicked <7451> is reserved <2820> to the day <3117> 
of destruction <0343>? they shall be brought <2986> forth to the 
day <3117> of wrath <5678>.



 31 Who <4310> shall declare <5046> his way <1870> to his face 
<6440>? and who <4310> shall repay <7999> him [what] he hath 
done <6213>?



 32 Yet shall he be brought <2986> to the grave <6913>, and 
shall remain <8245> in the tomb <1430>.



 33 The clods <7263> of the valley <5158> shall be sweet <4985> 
unto him, and every <3605> man <0120> shall draw <4900> after 
<0310> him, as [there are] innumerable before <6440> him.



 34 How <0349> then comfort <5162> ye me in vain <1892>, seeing 
in your answers <8666> there remaineth <7604> falsehood <4604>?



Job 22



 1. Then Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <8489> answered <6030> and 
said <0559>,



 2 Can a man <1397> be profitable <5532> unto God <0410>, as he 
that is wise <7919> may be profitable <5532> unto himself?



 3 [Is it] any pleasure <2656> to the Almighty <7706>, that thou 
art righteous <6663>? or [is it] gain <1214> [to him], that thou 
makest thy ways <1870> perfect <8552>?



 4 Will he reprove <3198> thee for fear <3374> of thee? will he 
enter <0935> with thee into judgment <4941>?



 5. [Is] not thy wickedness <7451> great <7227>? and thine 
iniquities <5771> infinite?



 6 For thou hast taken <2254> a pledge <2254> from thy brother 
<0251> for nought <2600>, and stripped <6584> the naked <6174> 
of their clothing <0899>.



 7 Thou hast not given water <4325> to the weary <5889> to drink 
<8248>, and thou hast withholden <4513> bread <3899> from the 
hungry <7456>.



 8 But [as for] the mighty <2220> man <0376>, he had the earth 
<0776>; and the honourable man dwelt <3427> in it.



 9 Thou hast sent <7971> widows <0490> away empty <7387>, and 
the arms <2220> of the fatherless <3490> have been broken <1792>.



 10 Therefore snares <6341> [are] round <5439> about thee, and 
sudden <6597> fear <6343> troubleth <0926> thee;



 11 Or <0176> darkness <2822>, [that] thou canst not see <7200>; 
and abundance <8229> of waters <4325> cover <3680> thee.



 12 [Is] not God <0433> in the height <1363> of heaven <8064>? 
and behold <7200> the height <7218> of the stars <3556>, how 
<3588> high <7311> they are!



 13 And thou sayest <0559>, How <4100> doth God <0410> know 
<3045>? can he judge <8199> through the dark <6205> cloud <6205>?



 14 Thick clouds <5645> [are] a covering <5643> to him, that he 
seeth <7200> not; and he walketh <1980> in the circuit <2329> of 
heaven <8064>.



 15. Hast thou marked <8104> the old <5769> way <0734> which 
<0834> wicked <0205> men <4962> have trodden <1869>?



 16 Which <0834> were cut <7059> down out of time <6256>, whose 
foundation <3247> was overflown <3332> with a flood <5104>:



 17 Which said <0559> unto God <0410>, Depart <5493> from us: 
and what <4100> can the Almighty <7706> do <6466> for them?



 18 Yet he filled <4390> their houses <1004> with good <2896> 
[things]: but the counsel <6098> of the wicked <7563> is far 
<7350> from me.



 19 The righteous <6662> see <7200> [it], and are glad <8056>: 
and the innocent <5355> laugh <3932> them to scorn.



 20 Whereas <0518> our substance <7009> is not cut <3582> down, 
but the remnant <3499> of them the fire <0784> consumeth <0398>.



 21. Acquaint <5532> now <4994> thyself with him, and be at 
peace <7999>: thereby good <2896> shall come <0935> unto thee.



 22 Receive <3947>, I pray <4994> thee, the law <8451> from his 
mouth <6310>, and lay <7760> up his words <0561> in thine heart 
<3824>.



 23 If <0518> thou return <7725> to the Almighty <7706>, thou 
shalt be built <1129> up, thou shalt put away <7368> iniquity 
<5766> far <7350> from thy tabernacles <0168>.



 24 Then shalt thou lay <7896> up gold <1220> as dust <6083>, 
and the [gold <1220>] of Ophir <0211> as the stones <6697> of 
the brooks <5158>.



 25 Yea, the Almighty <7706> shall be thy defence <1220>, and 
thou shalt have plenty <8443> of silver <3701>.



 26 For then <0227> shalt thou have thy delight <6026> in the 
Almighty <7706>, and shalt lift <5375> up thy face <6440> unto 
God <0433>.



 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer <6279> unto him, and he shall 
hear <8085> thee, and thou shalt pay <7999> thy vows <5088>.



 28 Thou shalt also decree <1504> a thing <0562>, and it shall 
be established <6965> unto thee: and the light <0216> shall 
shine <5050> upon thy ways <1870>.



 29 When <3588> [men] are cast <8213> down <8213>, then thou 
shalt say <0559>, [There is] lifting <1466> up; and he shall 
save <3467> the humble person.



 30 He shall deliver <4422> the island <0336> of the innocent 
<5355>: and it is delivered <4422> by the pureness <1252> of 
thine hands <3709>.



Job 23



 1. Then Job <0347> answered <6030> and said <0559>,



 2 Even <1571> to day <3117> [is] my complaint <7878> bitter 
<4805>: my stroke <3027> is heavier <3513> than <5921> my 
groaning <0585>.



 3 Oh that I knew <3045> where I might find <4672> him! [that] I 
might come <0935> [even] to his seat <8499>!



 4 I would order <6186> [my] cause <4941> before <6440> him, and 
fill <4390> my mouth <6310> with arguments <8433>.



 5 I would know <3045> the words <4405> [which] he would answer 
<6030> me, and understand <0995> what <4100> he would say <0559> 
unto me.



 6 Will he plead <7378> against <5978> me with [his] great 
<7227> power <3581>? No <3808>; but he would put <7760> 
[strength] in me.



 7 There <8033> the righteous <3477> might dispute <3198> with 
him; so should I be delivered <6403> for ever <5331> from my 
judge <8199>.



 8. Behold <2005>, I go <1980> forward <6924>, but he [is] not 
[there <8033>]; and backward <0268>, but I cannot <3808> 
perceive <3045> him:



 9 On the left <8040> hand <8040>, where he doth work <6213>, 
but I cannot <3808> behold <2372> [him]: he hideth <5848> 
himself on the right <3225> hand <3225>, that I cannot <3808> 
see <7200> [him]:



 10 But he knoweth <3045> the way <1870> that I take <5978>: 
[when] he hath tried <0974> me, I shall come <3318> forth <3318> 
as gold <2091>.



 11 My foot <7272> hath held <0270> his steps <0838>, his way 
<1870> have I kept <8104>, and not declined <5186>.



 12 Neither <3808> have I gone <4185> back <4185> from the 
commandment <4687> of his lips <8193>; I have esteemed <6845> 
the words <0561> of his mouth <6310> more than my necessary 
<2706> [food].



 13. But he [is] in one <0259> [mind], and who <4310> can turn 
<7725> him? and [what] his soul <5315> desireth <0183>, even 
[that] he doeth <6213>.



 14 For he performeth <7999> [the thing that is] appointed 
<2706> for me: and many <7227> such <2007> [things are] with him.



 15 Therefore am I troubled <0926> at his presence <6440>: when 
I consider <0995>, I am afraid <6342> of him.



 16 For God <0410> maketh my heart <3820> soft <7401>, and the 
Almighty <7706> troubleth <0926> me:



 17 Because <3588> I was not cut <6780> off before <6440> the 
darkness <2822>, [neither] hath he covered <3680> the darkness 
<0652> from my face <6440>.



Job 24



 1. Why <4069>, seeing <7200> times <6256> are not hidden <6845> 
from the Almighty <7706>, do they that know <5234> him not see 
<2372> his days <3117>?



 2 [Some] remove <5472> the landmarks <1367>; they violently 
<1497> take <1497> away flocks <5739>, and feed <7462> [thereof].



 3 They drive <5090> away the ass <2543> of the fatherless 
<3490>, they take <2254> the widow's <0490> ox <7794> for a 
pledge <2254>.



 4 They turn <5186> the needy <34> out of the way <1870>: the 
poor <6035> of the earth <0776> hide <2244> themselves together 
<3162>.



 5 Behold <2005>, [as] wild <6501> asses <6501> in the desert 
<4057>, go <3318> they forth <3318> to their work <6467>; rising 
<7836> betimes <7836> for a prey <2964>: the wilderness <6160> 
[yieldeth] food <3899> for them [and] for [their] children 
<5288>.



 6 They reap <7114> [every one] his corn <1098> in the field 
<7704>: and they gather <3953> the vintage <3754> of the wicked 
<7563>.



 7 They cause the naked <6174> to lodge <3885> without <1097> 
clothing <3830>, that [they have] no <0369> covering <3682> in 
the cold <7135>.



 8 They are wet <7372> with the showers <2230> of the mountains 
<2022>, and embrace <2263> the rock <6697> for want <1097> of a 
shelter <4268>.



 9 They pluck <1497> the fatherless <3490> from the breast 
<7699>, and take <2254> a pledge <2254> of the poor <6041>.



 10 They cause [him] to go <1980> naked <6174> without <1097> 
clothing <3830>, and they take <5375> away the sheaf <6016> 
[from] the hungry <7456>;



 11 [Which] make oil <6671> within <0996> their walls <7791>, 
[and] tread <1869> [their] winepresses <3342>, and suffer thirst 
<6770>.



 12 Men <4962> groan <5008> from out of the city <5892>, and the 
soul <5315> of the wounded <2491> crieth <7768> out: yet God 
<0433> layeth <7760> not folly <8604> [to them].



 13. They are of those that rebel <4775> against the light 
<0216>; they know <5234> not the ways <1870> thereof, nor <3808> 
abide <3427> in the paths <5410> thereof.



 14 The murderer <7523> rising <7925> with the light <0216> 
killeth <6991> the poor <6041> and needy <34>, and in the night 
<3915> is as a thief <1590>.



 15 The eye <5869> also of the adulterer <5003> waiteth <8104> 
for the twilight <5399>, saying <0559>, No <3808> eye <5869> 
shall see <7789> me: and disguiseth <5643> [his] face <6440>.



 16 In the dark <2822> they dig <2864> through <2864> houses 
<1004>, [which] they had marked <2856> for themselves in the 
daytime <3119>: they know <3045> not the light <0216>.



 17 For the morning <1242> [is] to them even as the shadow 
<6757> of death <6757>: if <3588> [one] know <5234> [them, they 
are in] the terrors <1091> of the shadow <6757> of death <6757>.



 18. He [is] swift <7031> as the waters <4325>; their portion 
<2513> is cursed <7043> in the earth <0776>: he beholdeth <6437> 
not the way <1870> of the vineyards <3754>.



 19 Drought <6723> and heat <2527> consume <1497> the snow 
<7950> waters <4325>: [so doth] the grave <7585> [those which] 
have sinned <2398>.



 20 The womb <7358> shall forget <7911> him; the worm <7415> 
shall feed sweetly <4988> on him; he shall be no <3808> more 
<5750> remembered <2142>; and wickedness <5766> shall be broken 
<7665> as a tree <6086>.



 21 He evil <7462> entreateth the barren <6135> [that] beareth 
<3205> not: and doeth not good <3190> to the widow <0490>.



 22 He draweth <4900> also the mighty <47> with his power <3581>:
 he riseth <6965> up, and no <3808> [man] is sure <0539> of life 
<2416>.



 23 [Though] it be given <5414> him [to be] in safety <0983>, 
whereon he resteth <8172>; yet his eyes <5869> [are] upon their 
ways <1870>.



 24 They are exalted <7426> for a little <4592> while, but are 
gone <0369> and brought <4355> low <4355>; they are taken <7092> 
out of the way <1870> as all <3605> [other], and cut <5243> off 
as the tops <7218> of the ears <7641> of corn.



 25 And if <0518> [it be] not [so] now <0645>, who <4310> will 
make <7760> me a liar <3576>, and make <7760> my speech <4405> 
nothing <0408> worth?



Job 25



 1. Then answered <6030> Bildad <1085> the Shuhite <7747>, and 
said <0559>,



 2 Dominion <4910> and fear <6343> [are] with him, he maketh 
<6213> peace <7965> in his high <4791> places.



 3 Is there any number <4557> of his armies <1416>? and upon 
whom <4310> doth not his light <0216> arise <6965>?



 4 How <4100> then can man <0582> be justified <6663> with God 
<0410>? or how <4100> can he be clean <2135> [that is] born 
<3205> of a woman <0802>?



 5 Behold <2005> even to the moon <3394>, and it shineth <0166> 
not; yea, the stars <3556> are not pure <2141> in his sight 
<5869>.



 6 How <0637> much <0637> less man <0582>, [that is] a worm 
<7415>? and the son <1121> of man <0120>, [which is] a worm 
<8438>?



Job 26



 1. But Job <0347> answered <6030> and said <0559>,



 2 How <4100> hast thou helped <5826> [him that is] without 
<3808> power <3581>? [how] savest <3467> thou the arm <2220> 
[that hath] no <3808> strength <2797>?



 3 How <4100> hast thou counselled <3289> [him that hath] no 
<3808> wisdom <2451>? and [how] hast thou plentifully <7230> 
declared <3045> the thing as it is?



 4 To whom <4310> hast thou uttered <5046> words <4405>? and 
whose <4310> spirit <5397> came <3318> from thee?



 5. Dead <7496> [things] are formed <2342> from under <8478> the 
waters <4325>, and the inhabitants <7934> thereof.



 6 Hell <7585> [is] naked <6174> before <6440> him, and 
destruction <11> hath no <0369> covering <3682>.



 7 He stretcheth <5186> out the north <6828> over <5921> the 
empty <8414> place <8414>, [and] hangeth <8518> the earth <0776> 
upon nothing <1099>.



 8 He bindeth <6887> up the waters <4325> in his thick clouds 
<5645>; and the cloud <6051> is not rent <1234> under <5921> 
them.



 9 He holdeth <0270> back the face <6440> of his throne <3678>, 
[and] spreadeth <6576> his cloud <6051> upon it.



 10 He hath compassed <2328> the waters <4325> with bounds 
<2706>, until <5704> the day <0216> and night <2822> come to an 
end <8503>.



 11 The pillars <5982> of heaven <8064> tremble <7322> and are 
astonished <8539> at his reproof <1606>.



 12 He divideth <7280> the sea <3220> with his power <3581>, and 
by his understanding <8394> he smiteth <4272> through the proud 
<7293>.



 13 By his spirit <7307> he hath garnished <8235> the heavens 
<8064>; his hand <3027> hath formed <2342> the crooked <1281> 
serpent <5175>.



 14 Lo <2005>, these <0428> [are] parts <7098> of his ways 
<1870>: but how <4100> little <8102> a portion <1697> is heard 
<8085> of him? but the thunder <7482> of his power <1369> who 
<4310> can understand <0995>?



Job 27



 1. Moreover Job <0347> continued <3254> his parable <4912>, and 
said <0559>,



 2 [As] God <0410> liveth <2416>, [who] hath taken <5493> away 
<5493> my judgment <4941>; and the Almighty <7706>, [who] hath 
vexed <4843> my soul <5315>;



 3 All <3605> the while <5750> my breath <5397> [is] in me, and 
the spirit <7307> of God <0433> [is] in my nostrils <0639>;



 4 My lips <8193> shall not speak <1696> wickedness <5766>, nor 
<0518> my tongue <3956> utter <1897> deceit <7423>.



 5 God forbid <2486> that I should justify <6663> you: till 
<5704> I die <1478> I will not remove <5493> mine integrity 
<8538> from me.



 6 My righteousness <6666> I hold <2388> fast, and will not let 
it go <7503>: my heart <3824> shall not reproach <2778> [me] so 
<3605> long <3117> as I live <3117>.



 7. Let mine enemy <0341> be as the wicked <7563>, and he that 
riseth <6965> up against me as the unrighteous <5767>.



 8 For what <4100> [is] the hope <8615> of the hypocrite <2611>, 
though <3588> he hath gained <1214>, when <3588> God <0433> 
taketh <7953> away <7953> his soul <5315>?



 9 Will God <0401> hear <8085> his cry <6818> when <3588> 
trouble <6869> cometh <0935> upon him?



 10 Will he delight <6026> himself in the Almighty <7706>? will 
he always call <7121> upon God <0433>?



 11. I will teach <3384> you by the hand <3027> of God <0410>: 
[that] which <0834> [is] with the Almighty <7706> will I not 
conceal <3582>.



 12 Behold <2005>, all <3605> ye yourselves have seen <2372> 
[it]; why <4100> then are ye thus <2088> altogether vain <1891>?



 13 This <2088> [is] the portion <2506> of a wicked <7563> man 
<0120> with God <0410>, and the heritage <5159> of oppressors 
<6184>, [which] they shall receive <3947> of the Almighty <7706>.



 14 If <0518> his children <1121> be multiplied <7235>, [it is] 
for the sword <2719>: and his offspring <6631> shall not be 
satisfied <7646> with bread <3899>.



 15 Those that remain <8300> of him shall be buried <6912> in 
death <4194>: and his widows <0490> shall not weep <1058>.



 16 Though <0518> he heap <6651> up silver <3701> as the dust 
<6083>, and prepare <3559> raiment <4403> as the clay <2563>;



 17 He may prepare <3559> [it], but the just <6662> shall put 
<3847> [it] on, and the innocent <5355> shall divide <2505> the 
silver <3701>.



 18 He buildeth <1129> his house <1004> as a moth <6211>, and as 
a booth <5521> [that] the keeper <5341> maketh <6213>.



 19 The rich <6223> man shall lie <7901> down <7901>, but he 
shall not be gathered <0622>: he openeth <6491> his eyes <5869>, 
and he [is] not.



 20 Terrors <1091> take <5381> hold <5381> on him as waters 
<4325>, a tempest <5492> stealeth <1589> him away in the night 
<3915>.



 21 The east <6921> wind carrieth <5375> him away, and he 
departeth <3212>: and as a storm hurleth <8175> him out of his 
place <4725>.



 22 For [God] shall cast <7993> upon him, and not spare <2550>: 
he would fain <1272> flee <1272> out of his hand <3027>.



 23 [Men] shall clap <5606> their hands <3709> at <5921> him, 
and shall hiss <8319> him out of his place <4725>.



Job 28



 1. Surely <3588> there is a vein <4161> for the silver <3701>, 
and a place <4725> for gold <2091> [where] they fine <2212> [it].



 2 Iron <1270> is taken <3947> out of the earth <6083>, and 
brass <5154> [is] molten <6694> [out of] the stone <68>.



 3 He setteth <7760> an end <7093> to darkness <2822>, and 
searcheth <2713> out all <3605> perfection <8503>: the stones 
<68> of darkness <0652>, and the shadow <6757> of death <6757>.



 4 The flood <5158> breaketh <6555> out from the inhabitant 
<1481>; [even the waters] forgotten <7911> of the foot <7272>: 
they are dried <1809> up, they are gone <5128> away from men 
<0582>.



 5 [As for] the earth <0776>, out of it cometh <3318> bread 
<3899>: and under <8478> it is turned <2015> up as it were fire 
<0784>.



 6 The stones <68> of it [are] the place <4725> of sapphires 
<5601>: and it hath dust <6083> of gold <2091>.



 7 [There is] a path <5410> which no <3808> fowl <5861> knoweth 
<3045>, and which the vulture's <0344> eye <5869> hath not seen 
<7805>:



 8 The lion's <7830> whelps <1121> have not trodden <1869> it, 
nor <3808> the fierce <7826> lion <7826> passed <5710> by it.



 9 He putteth <7971> forth <7971> his hand <3027> upon the rock 
<2496>; he overturneth <2015> the mountains <2022> by the roots 
<8328>.



 10 He cutteth <1234> out rivers <2975> among the rocks <6697>; 
and his eye <5869> seeth <7200> every <3605> precious <3366> 
thing.



 11 He bindeth <2280> the floods <5104> from overflowing <1065>; 
and [the thing that is] hid <8587> bringeth <3318> he forth 
<3318> to light <0216>.



 12 But where <0370> shall wisdom <2451> be found <4672>? and 
where [is] the place <4725> of understanding <0998>?



 13 Man <0582> knoweth <3045> not the price <6187> thereof; 
neither <3808> is it found <4672> in the land <0776> of the 
living <2416>.



 14. The depth <8415> saith <0559>, It [is] not in me: and the 
sea <3220> saith <0559>, [It is] not with me.



 15 It cannot <3808> be gotten <5414> for gold <5458>, neither 
<3808> shall silver <3701> be weighed <8254> [for] the price 
<4242> thereof.



 16 It cannot <3808> be valued <5541> with the gold <3800> of 
Ophir <0211>, with the precious <3368> onyx <7718>, or the 
sapphire <5601>.



 17 The gold <2091> and the crystal <2137> cannot <3808> equal 
<6186> it: and the exchange <8545> of it [shall not be for] 
jewels <3627> of fine gold <6337>.



 18 No <3808> mention <2142> shall be made of coral <7215>, or 
of pearls <1378>: for the price <4901> of wisdom <2451> [is] 
above rubies <6443>.



 19 The topaz <6357> of Ethiopia <3568> shall not equal <6186> 
it, neither <3808> shall it be valued <5541> with pure <2889> 
gold <3800>.



 20. Whence <0370> then cometh <0935> wisdom <2451>? and where 
<0335> [is] the place <4725> of understanding <0998>?



 21 Seeing it is hid <5956> from the eyes <5869> of all <3605> 
living <2416>, and kept <5641> close <5641> from the fowls 
<5775> of the air <8064>.



 22 Destruction <11> and death <4194> say <0559>, We have heard 
<8085> the fame <8088> thereof with our ears <0241>.



 23 God <0430> understandeth <0995> the way <1870> thereof, and 
he knoweth <3045> the place <4725> thereof.



 24 For he looketh <5027> to the ends <7098> of the earth <0776>,
 [and] seeth <7200> under <8478> the whole <3605> heaven <8064>;



 25 To make <6213> the weight <4948> for the winds <7307>; and 
he weigheth <8505> the waters <4325> by measure <4060>.



 26 When he made <6213> a decree <2706> for the rain <4306>, and 
a way <1870> for the lightning <2385> of the thunder <6963>:



 27 Then <0227> did he see <7200> it, and declare <5608> it; he 
prepared <3559> it, yea <1571>, and searched <2713> it out.



 28 And unto man <0120> he said <0559>, Behold <2005>, the fear 
<3374> of the Lord <0136>, that [is] wisdom <2451>; and to 
depart <5493> from evil <7451> [is] understanding <0998>.



Job 29



 1. Moreover Job <0347> continued <3254> his parable <4912>, and 
said <0559>,



 2 Oh that I were as [in] months <3391> past <6924>, as [in] the 
days <3117> [when] God <0433> preserved <8104> me;



 3 When his candle <5216> shined <1984> upon my head <7218>, 
[and when] by his light <0216> I walked <3212> [through] 
darkness <2822>;



 4 As I was in the days <3117> of my youth <2779>, when the 
secret <5475> of God <0433> [was] upon my tabernacle <0168>;



 5 When <5750> the Almighty <7706> [was] yet <5750> with me, 
[when] my children <5288> [were] about <5439> me;



 6 When I washed <7364> my steps <1978> with butter <2529>, and 
the rock <6697> poured <6694> me out rivers <6388> of oil <8081>;



 7. When I went <3318> out to the gate <8179> through <5921> the 
city <7176>, [when] I prepared <3559> my seat <4186> in the 
street <7339>!



 8 The young <5288> men saw <7200> me, and hid <2244> themselves:
 and the aged <2205> arose <6965>, [and] stood <5975> up.



 9 The princes <8269> refrained <6113> talking <4405>, and laid 
<7760> [their] hand <3709> on their mouth <6310>.



 10 The nobles <5057> held <2244> their peace <6963>, and their 
tongue <3956> cleaved <1692> to the roof <2441> of their mouth 
<2441>.



 11 When <3588> the ear <0241> heard <8085> [me], then it 
blessed <0833> me; and when the eye <5869> saw <7200> [me], it 
gave witness <5749> to me:



 12 Because <3588> I delivered <4422> the poor <6041> that cried 
<7768>, and the fatherless <3490>, and [him that had] none 
<3808> to help <5826> him.



 13 The blessing <1293> of him that was ready to perish <6> came 
<0935> upon me: and I caused the widow's <0490> heart <3820> to 
sing <7442> for joy <7442>.



 14 I put <3847> on righteousness <6664>, and it clothed <3847> 
me: my judgment <4941> [was] as a robe <4598> and a diadem 
<6797>.



 15 I was eyes <5869> to the blind <5787>, and feet <7272> [was] 
I to the lame <6455>.



 16 I [was] a father <1> to the poor <34>: and the cause <7379> 
[which] I knew <3045> not I searched <2713> out.



 17 And I brake <7665> the jaws <4973> of the wicked <5767>, and 
plucked <7993> the spoil <2964> out of his teeth <8127>.



 18. Then I said <0559>, I shall die <1478> in my nest <7064>, 
and I shall multiply <7235> [my] days <3117> as the sand <2344>.



 19 My root <8328> [was] spread <6605> out by the waters <4325>, 
and the dew <2919> lay <3885> all <3885> night upon my branch 
<7105>.



 20 My glory <3519> [was] fresh <2319> in me, and my bow <7198> 
was renewed <2498> in my hand <3027>.



 21 Unto me [men] gave ear <8085>, and waited <3176>, and kept 
silence <1826> at <3926> my counsel <6098>.



 22 After <0310> my words <1697> they spake not again <3138>; 
and my speech <4405> dropped <5197> upon them.



 23 And they waited <3176> for me as for the rain <4306>; and 
they opened <6473> their mouth <6310> wide [as] for the latter 
<4456> rain <4456>.



 24 [If] I laughed <7832> on <0413> them, they believed <0539> 
[it] not; and the light <0216> of my countenance <6440> they 
cast <5307> not down <5307>.



 25 I chose <0977> out their way <1870>, and sat <3427> chief 
<7218>, and dwelt <7931> as a king <4428> in the army <1416>, as 
one [that] comforteth <5162> the mourners <57>.



Job 30



 1. But now <6258> [they that are] younger than I have me in 
derision <7832>, whose <0834> fathers <1> I would have disdained 
<3988> to have set <7896> with the dogs <3611> of my flock 
<6629>.



 2 Yea <1571>, whereto <4100> [might] the strength <3581> of 
their hands <3027> [profit] me, in whom <5921> old age <3624> 
was perished <6>?



 3 For want <2639> and famine <3720> [they were] solitary <1565>;
 fleeing <6207> into the wilderness <6723> in former <0570> time 
<0570> desolate <7722> and waste <4875>.



 4 Who cut <6998> up mallows <4408> by the bushes <7880>, and 
juniper <7574> roots <8328> [for] their meat <3899>.



 5 They were driven <1644> forth from among <1460> [men], (they 
cried <7321> after <5921> them as [after <5921>] a thief <1590>;)



 6 To dwell <7931> in the clifts <6178> of the valleys <5158>, 
[in] caves <2356> of the earth <6083>, and [in] the rocks <3710>.



 7 Among <0996> the bushes <7880> they brayed <5101>; under 
<8478> the nettles <2738> they were gathered <5596> together.



 8 [They were] children <1121> of fools <5036>, yea <1571>, 
children <1121> of base men: they were viler <5217> than <4480> 
the earth <0776>.



 9 And now <6258> am I their song <5058>, yea, I am their byword 
<4405>.



 10 They abhor <8581> me, they flee <7368> far <7350> from me, 
and spare <2820> not to spit <7536> in my face <6440>.



 11 Because <3588> he hath loosed <6605> my cord <3499>, and 
afflicted <6031> me, they have also let loose <7971> the bridle 
<7448> before <6440> me.



 12 Upon [my] right <3225> [hand <3225>] rise <6965> the youth 
<6526>; they push <7971> away my feet <7272>, and they raise 
<5549> up against <5921> me the ways <0734> of their destruction 
<0343>.



 13 They mar <5420> my path <5410>, they set forward <3276> my 
calamity <1942>, they have no <3808> helper <5826>.



 14 They came <0857> [upon me] as a wide <7342> breaking <6556> 
in [of waters]: in the desolation <7722> they rolled <1556> 
themselves [upon me].



 15. Terrors <1091> are turned <2015> upon me: they pursue 
<7291> my soul <5082> as the wind <7307>: and my welfare <3444> 
passeth <5674> away as a cloud <5645>.



 16 And now <6258> my soul <5315> is poured <8210> out upon me; 
the days <3117> of affliction <6040> have taken <0270> hold 
<0270> upon me.



 17 My bones <6106> are pierced <5365> in me in the night <3915> 
season: and my sinews <6207> take <7901> no <3808> rest <7901>.



 18 By the great <7227> force <3581> [of my disease] is my 
garment <3830> changed <2664>: it bindeth <0247> me about <0247> 
as the collar <6310> of my coat <3801>.



 19 He hath cast <3384> me into the mire <2563>, and I am become 
<4911> like <4911> dust <6083> and ashes <0665>.



 20 I cry <7768> unto thee, and thou dost not hear <6030> me: I 
stand <5975> up, and thou regardest <0995> me [not].



 21 Thou art become <2015> cruel <0393> to me: with thy strong 
<6108> hand <3027> thou opposest <7852> thyself against me.



 22 Thou liftest <5375> me up to the wind <7307>; thou causest 
me to ride <7392> [upon it], and dissolvest <4127> my substance 
<7738>.



 23 For I know <3045> [that] thou wilt bring <7725> me [to] 
death <4194>, and [to] the house <1004> appointed <4150> for all 
<3605> living <2416>.



 24 Howbeit he will not stretch <7971> out [his] hand <3027> to 
the grave <1164>, though <0518> they cry <7769> in his 
destruction <6365>.



 25 Did not I weep <1058> for him that was in trouble? was [not] 
my soul <5315> grieved <5701> for the poor <34>?



 26 When <3588> I looked <6960> for good <2896>, then evil 
<7451> came <0935> [unto me]: and when I waited <3176> for light 
<0216>, there came <0935> darkness <0652>.



 27 My bowels <4578> boiled <7570>, and rested <1826> not: the 
days <3117> of affliction <6040> prevented <6923> me.



 28 I went <1980> mourning <6937> without <3808> the sun <2535>: 
I stood <6965> up, [and] I cried <7768> in the congregation 
<6951>.



 29 I am a brother <0251> to dragons <8577>, and a companion 
<7453> to owls.



 30 My skin <5785> is black <7835> upon me, and my bones <6106> 
are burned <2787> with heat <2721>.



 31 My harp <3658> also is [turned] to mourning <60>, and my 
organ <5748> into the voice <6963> of them that weep <1058>.



Job 31



 1. I made <3772> a covenant <1285> with mine eyes <5869>; why 
<4100> then should I think <0995> upon a maid <1330>?



 2 For what <4100> portion <2506> of God <0433> [is there] from 
above <4605>? and [what] inheritance <5159> of the Almighty 
<7706> from on high <4791>?



 3 [Is] not destruction <0343> to the wicked <5767>? and a 
strange <5235> [punishment] to the workers <6466> of iniquity 
<0205>?



 4 Doth not he see <7200> my ways <1870>, and count <5608> all 
<3605> my steps <6806>?



 5 If <0518> I have walked <1980> with vanity <7723>, or if my 
foot <7272> hath hasted <2363> to deceit <4820>;



 6 Let me be weighed <8254> in an even <6664> balance <3976>, 
that God <0433> may know <3045> mine integrity <8538>.



 7 If <0518> my step <0838> hath turned <5186> out of the way 
<1870>, and mine heart <3820> walked <1980> after <0310> mine 
eyes <5869>, and if any blot <3971> hath cleaved <1692> to mine 
hands <3709>;



 8 [Then] let me sow <2232>, and let another <0312> eat <0398>; 
yea, let my offspring <6631> be rooted <8327> out.



 9. If <0518> mine heart <3820> have been deceived <6601> by a 
woman <0802>, or [if] I have laid wait <0693> at <5921> my 
neighbour's <7453> door <6607>;



 10 [Then] let my wife <0802> grind <2912> unto another <0312>, 
and let others <0312> bow <3766> down <3766> upon her.



 11 For this <1931> [is] an heinous <2154> crime <2154>; yea, it 
[is] an iniquity <5771> [to be punished by] the judges <6414>.



 12 For it [is] a fire <0784> [that] consumeth <0398> to 
destruction <11>, and would root <8327> out all <3605> mine 
increase <8393>.



 13 If <0518> I did despise <3988> the cause <4941> of my 
manservant <5650> or of my maidservant <0519>, when they 
contended <7378> with me;



 14 What <4100> then shall I do when <3588> God <0410> riseth 
<6965> up? and when <3588> he visiteth <6485>, what <4100> shall 
I answer <7725> him?



 15 Did not he that made <6213> me in the womb <0990> make 
<6213> him? and did not one <0259> fashion <3559> us in the womb 
<7358>?



 16. If <0518> I have withheld <4513> the poor <1800> from 
[their] desire <2656>, or have caused the eyes <5869> of the 
widow <0490> to fail <3615>;



 17 Or have eaten <0398> my morsel <6595> myself alone <0905>, 
and the fatherless <3490> hath not eaten <0398> thereof;



 18 (For from my youth <5271> he was brought <1431> up with me, 
as [with] a father <1>, and I have guided <5148> her from my 
mother's <0517> womb <0990>;)



 19 If <0518> I have seen <7200> any perish <6> for want <1097> 
of clothing <3830>, or any poor <34> without <0369> covering 
<3682>;



 20 If <0518> his loins <2504> have not blessed <1288> me, and 
[if] he were [not] warmed <2552> with the fleece <1488> of my 
sheep <3532>;



 21 If <0518> I have lifted <5130> up my hand <3027> against 
<5921> the fatherless <3490>, when <3588> I saw <7200> my help 
<5833> in the gate <8179>:



 22 [Then] let mine arm <3802> fall <5307> from my shoulder 
<7929> blade <7929>, and mine arm <0248> be broken <7665> from 
the bone <7070>.



 23 For destruction <0343> [from] God <0410> [was] a terror 
<6343> to me, and by reason of his highness <7613> I could 
<3201> not endure.



 24. If <0518> I have made <7760> gold <2091> my hope <3689>, or 
have said <0559> to the fine gold <3800>, [Thou art] my 
confidence <4009>;



 25 If <0518> I rejoiced <8055> because <3588> my wealth <2428> 
[was] great <7227>, and because <3588> mine hand <3027> had 
gotten <4672> much <3524>;



 26 If <0518> I beheld <7200> the sun <0216> when <3588> it 
shined <1984>, or the moon <3394> walking <1980> [in] brightness 
<3368>;



 27 And my heart <3820> hath been secretly <5643> enticed <6601>,
 or my mouth <6310> hath kissed <5401> my hand <3027>:



 28 This <1931> also <1571> [were] an iniquity <5771> [to be 
punished by] the judge <6416>: for I should have denied <3584> 
the God <0410> [that is] above <4605>.



 29 If <0518> I rejoiced <8055> at the destruction <6365> of him 
that hated <8130> me, or lifted <5782> up myself when <3588> 
evil <7451> found <4672> him:



 30 Neither <3808> have I suffered <5414> my mouth <2441> to sin 
<2398> by wishing <7592> a curse <0423> to his soul <5315>.



 31 If <0518> the men <4962> of my tabernacle <0168> said <0559> 
not, Oh that we had of his flesh <1320>! we cannot <3808> be 
satisfied <7646>.



 32 The stranger <1616> did not lodge <3885> in the street 
<2351>: [but] I opened <6605> my doors <1817> to the traveller 
<0734>.



 33. If <0518> I covered <3680> my transgressions <6588> as Adam 
<0121>, by hiding <2934> mine iniquity <5771> in my bosom <2436>:



 34 Did I fear <6206> a great <7227> multitude <1995>, or did 
the contempt <0937> of families <4940> terrify <2865> me, that I 
kept silence <1826>, [and] went <3318> not out of the door 
<6607>?



 35 Oh that one would hear <8085> me! behold <2005>, my desire 
<8420> [is, that] the Almighty <7706> would answer <6030> me, 
and [that] mine adversary had written <3789> a book <5612>.



 36 Surely I would take <5375> it upon my shoulder <7926>, [and] 
bind <6029> it [as] a crown <5850> to me.



 37 I would declare <5046> unto him the number <4557> of my 
steps <6806>; as a prince <5057> would I go <7126> near <7126> 
unto him.



 38 If <0518> my land <0127> cry <2199> against <5921> me, or 
that the furrows <8525> likewise <3162> thereof complain <1058>;



 39 If <0518> I have eaten <0398> the fruits <3581> thereof 
without <1097> money <3701>, or have caused the owners <1167> 
thereof to lose <5307> their life <5315>:



 40 Let thistles <2336> grow <3318> instead <8478> of wheat 
<2406>, and cockle <0890> instead <8478> of barley <8184>. The 
words <1697> of Job <0347> are ended <8552>.



Job 32



 1. So these <0428> three <7969> men <0582> ceased <7673> to 
answer <6030> Job <0347>, because <3588> he [was] righteous 
<6662> in his own eyes <5869>.



 2 Then was kindled <2734> the wrath <0639> of Elihu <0453> the 
son <1121> of Barachel <1292> the Buzite <0940>, of the kindred 
<4940> of Ram <7410>: against Job <0347> was his wrath <0639> 
kindled <2734>, because <5921> he justified <6663> himself 
<5315> rather than <4480> God <0430>.



 3 Also against his three <7969> friends <7453> was his wrath 
<0639> kindled <2734>, because they had found <4672> no <3808> 
answer <4617>, and [yet] had condemned <7561> Job <0347>.



 4 Now Elihu <0453> had waited <2442> till Job <0347> had spoken 
<1697>, because <3588> they [were] elder than he.



 5 When Elihu <0453> saw <7200> that [there was] no <0369> 
answer <4617> in the mouth <6310> of [these] three <7969> men 
<0582>, then his wrath <0639> was kindled <2734>.



 6. And Elihu <0453> the son <1121> of Barachel <1292> the 
Buzite <0940> answered <6030> and said <0559>, I [am] young, and 
ye [are] very <3453> old <3453>; wherefore I was afraid <2119>, 
and durst <3372> not shew <2331> you mine opinion <1843>.



 7 I said <0559>, Days <3117> should speak <1696>, and multitude 
<7230> of years <8141> should teach <3045> wisdom <2451>.



 8 But [there is] a spirit <7307> in man <0582>: and the 
inspiration <5397> of the Almighty <7706> giveth them 
understanding <0995>.



 9 Great <7227> men are not [always] wise <2449>: neither do the 
aged <2205> understand <0995> judgment <4941>.



 10 Therefore <3651> I said <0559>, Hearken <8085> to me; I also 
<0637> will shew <2331> mine opinion <1843>.



 11 Behold <2005>, I waited <3176> for your words <1697>; I gave 
ear <0238> to your reasons <8394>, whilst <5704> ye searched 
<2713> out what to say <4405>.



 12 Yea, I attended <0995> unto you, and, behold <2009>, [there 
was] none <0369> of you that convinced <3198> Job <0347>, [or] 
that answered <6030> his words <0561>:



 13 Lest <6435> ye should say <0559>, We have found <4672> out 
wisdom <2451>: God <0410> thrusteth <5086> him down, not man 
<0376>.



 14 Now he hath not directed <6186> [his] words <4405> against 
<0413> me: neither <3808> will I answer <7725> him with your 
speeches <0561>.



 15. They were amazed <2865>, they answered <6030> no <3808> 
more <5750>: they left <6275> off speaking <4405>.



 16 When I had waited <3176>, (for they spake <1696> not, but 
stood <5975> still <5975>, [and] answered <6030> no <3808> more 
<5750>;)



 17 [I said], I will answer <6030> also <0637> my part <2506>, I 
also <0637> will shew <2331> mine opinion <1843>.



 18 For I am full <4390> of matter <4405>, the spirit <7307> 
within <0990> me constraineth <6693> me.



 19 Behold <2009>, my belly <0990> [is] as wine <3196> [which] 
hath no <3808> vent <6605>; it is ready to burst <1234> like new 
<2319> bottles <0178>.



 20 I will speak <1696>, that I may be refreshed <7304>: I will 
open <6605> my lips <8193> and answer <6030>.



 21 Let me not, I pray <4994> you, accept <5375> any man's 
<0376> person <6440>, neither <3808> let me give <1478> 
flattering <3665> titles unto man <0120>.



 22 For I know <3045> not to give flattering <3665> titles; [in 
so doing] my maker <6213> would soon <4592> take <5375> me away.



Job 33



 1. Wherefore <0199>, Job <0347>, I pray <4994> thee, hear 
<8085> my speeches <4405>, and hearken <0238> to all <3605> my 
words <1697>.



 2 Behold <2009>, now <4994> I have opened <6605> my mouth 
<6310>, my tongue <3956> hath spoken <1696> in my mouth <2441>.



 3 My words <0561> [shall be of] the uprightness <3476> of my 
heart <3820>: and my lips <8193> shall utter <4448> knowledge 
<1847> clearly <1305>.



 4 The Spirit <7307> of God <0410> hath made <6213> me, and the 
breath <5397> of the Almighty <7706> hath given me life <2421>.



 5 If <0518> thou canst <3201> answer <7725> me, set [thy words] 
in order <6186> before <6440> me, stand <3320> up.



 6 Behold <2005>, I [am] according to thy wish <6310> in God's 
<0410> stead: I also <1571> am formed <7169> out of the clay 
<2563>.



 7 Behold <2009>, my terror <0367> shall not make thee afraid 
<1204>, neither <3808> shall my hand <0405> be heavy <3513> upon 
thee.



 8. Surely <0389> thou hast spoken <0559> in mine hearing <0241>,
 and I have heard <8085> the voice <6963> of [thy] words <4405>, 
[saying],



 9 I am clean <2134> without <1097> transgression <6588>, I [am] 
innocent <2643>; neither <3808> [is there] iniquity <5771> in me.



 10 Behold <2005>, he findeth <4672> occasions <8569> against 
<5921> me, he counteth <2803> me for his enemy <0341>,



 11 He putteth <7760> my feet <7272> in the stocks <5465>, he 
marketh <8104> all <3605> my paths <0734>.



 12 Behold <2005>, [in] this <2063> thou art not just <6663>: I 
will answer <6030> thee, that God <0433> is greater <7235> than 
man <0582>.



 13 Why <4069> dost thou strive <7378> against <0413> him? for 
he giveth not account <6030> of any <3605> of his matters <1697>.



 14. For God <0410> speaketh <1696> once <0259>, yea twice 
<8147>, [yet man] perceiveth <7789> it not.



 15 In a dream <2472>, in a vision <2384> of the night <3915>, 
when deep <8639> sleep falleth <5307> upon men <0582>, in 
slumberings <8572> upon the bed <4904>;



 16 Then <0227> he openeth <1540> the ears <0241> of men <0582>, 
and sealeth <2856> their instruction <4561>,



 17 That he may withdraw <5493> man <0120> [from his] purpose 
<4639>, and hide <3680> pride <1466> from man <1397>.



 18 He keepeth <2820> back <2820> his soul <5315> from the pit 
<7845>, and his life <2416> from perishing <5674> by the sword 
<7973>.



 19. He is chastened <3198> also with pain <4341> upon his bed 
<4904>, and the multitude <7379> of his bones <6106> with strong 
<0386> [pain]:



 20 So that his life <2416> abhorreth <2092> bread <3899>, and 
his soul <5315> dainty <8378> meat <3978>.



 21 His flesh <1320> is consumed <3615> away, that it cannot 
<3808> be seen <7210>; and his bones <6106> [that] were not seen 
<7200> stick <8205> out.



 22 Yea, his soul <5315> draweth near <7126> unto the grave 
<7845>, and his life <2416> to the destroyers <4191>.



 23 If <0518> there be a messenger <4397> with him, an 
interpreter <3887>, one <0259> among <4480> a thousand <0505>, 
to shew <5046> unto man <0120> his uprightness <3476>:



 24 Then he is gracious <2603> unto him, and saith <0559>, 
Deliver <6308> him from going <3381> down <3381> to the pit 
<7845>: I have found <4672> a ransom <3724>.



 25 His flesh <1320> shall be fresher <7375> than a child's 
<5290>: he shall return <7725> to the days <3117> of his youth 
<5934>:



 26 He shall pray <6279> unto God <0433>, and he will be 
favourable <7520> unto him: and he shall see <7200> his face 
<6440> with joy <8643>: for he will render <7725> unto man 
<0582> his righteousness <6666>.



 27 He looketh <7789> upon men <0582>, and [if any] say <0559>, 
I have sinned <2398>, and perverted <5753> [that which was] 
right <3477>, and it profited <7737> me not;



 28 He will deliver <6299> his soul <5315> from going <5674> 
into the pit <7845>, and his life <2416> shall see <7200> the 
light <0216>.



 29. Lo <2005>, all <3605> these <0428> [things] worketh <6466> 
God <0410> oftentimes with man <1397>,



 30 To bring <7725> back <7725> his soul <5315> from the pit 
<7845>, to be enlightened <0215> with the light <0216> of the 
living <2416>.



 31 Mark <7181> well <7181>, O Job <0347>, hearken <8085> unto 
me: hold <2790> thy peace <2790>, and I will speak <1696>.



 32 If <0518> thou hast <3426> any thing to say <4405>, answer 
<7725> me: speak <1696>, for I desire <2654> to justify <6663> 
thee.



 33 If <0518> not, hearken <8085> unto me: hold <2790> thy peace 
<2790>, and I shall teach <0502> thee wisdom <2451>.



Job 34



 1. Furthermore Elihu <0453> answered <6030> and said <0559>,



 2 Hear <8085> my words <4405>, O ye wise <2450> [men]; and give 
ear <0238> unto me, ye that have knowledge <3045>.



 3 For the ear <0241> trieth <0974> words <4405>, as the mouth 
<2441> tasteth <2938> meat <0398>.



 4 Let us choose <0977> to us judgment <4941>: let us know 
<3045> among <0996> ourselves what <4100> [is] good <2896>.



 5 For Job <0347> hath said <0559>, I am righteous <6663>: and 
God <0410> hath taken <5493> away <5493> my judgment <4941>.



 6 Should I lie <3576> against <5921> my right <4941>? my wound 
<2671> [is] incurable <0605> without <1097> transgression <6588>.



 7 What <4310> man <1397> [is] like Job <0347>, [who] drinketh 
<8354> up scorning <3933> like water <4325>?



 8 Which goeth <0732> in company <2274> with the workers <6466> 
of iniquity <0205>, and walketh <3212> with wicked <7562> men 
<0582>.



 9 For he hath said <0559>, It profiteth <5532> a man <1397> 
nothing <3808> that he should delight <7521> himself with God 
<0430>.



 10. Therefore <3651> hearken <8085> unto me, ye men <0582> of 
understanding <3824>: far <2486> be it from God <0410>, [that he 
should do] wickedness <7562>; and [from] the Almighty <7706>, 
[that he should commit] iniquity <5766>.



 11 For the work <6467> of a man <0120> shall he render <7999> 
unto him, and cause every man <0376> to find <4672> according to 
[his] ways <0734>.



 12 Yea <0637>, surely <0551> God <0410> will not do wickedly 
<7561>, neither <3808> will the Almighty <7706> pervert <5791> 
judgment <4941>.



 13 Who <4310> hath given him a charge <6485> over the earth 
<0776>? or who <4310> hath disposed <7760> the whole <3605> 
world <8398>?



 14 If <0518> he set <7760> his heart <3820> upon man, [if] he 
gather <0622> unto himself his spirit <7307> and his breath 
<5397>;



 15 All <3605> flesh <1320> shall perish <1478> together <3162>, 
and man <0120> shall turn <7725> again <7725> unto dust <6083>.



 16. If <0518> now [thou hast] understanding <0998>, hear <8085> 
this <2063>: hearken <0238> to the voice <6963> of my words 
<4405>.



 17 Shall even <0637> he that hateth <8130> right <4941> govern 
<2280>? and wilt thou condemn <7561> him that is most <3524> 
just <6662>?



 18 [Is it fit] to say <0559> to a king <4428>, [Thou art] 
wicked <1100>? [and] to princes <5081>, [Ye are] ungodly <7563>?



 19 [How <0834> much less to him] that accepteth <5375> not the 
persons <6440> of princes <8269>, nor <3808> regardeth <5234> 
the rich <7771> more <6440> than <6440> the poor <1800>? for 
they all <3605> [are] the work <4639> of his hands <3027>.



 20 In a moment <7281> shall they die <4191>, and the people 
<5971> shall be troubled <1607> at midnight, and pass <5674> 
away: and the mighty <47> shall be taken <5493> away <5493> 
without <3808> hand <3027>.



 21 For his eyes <5869> [are] upon the ways <1870> of man <0376>,
 and he seeth <7200> all <3605> his goings <6806>.



 22 [There is] no <0369> darkness <2822>, nor <0369> shadow 
<6757> of death <6757>, where <8033> the workers <6466> of 
iniquity <0205> may hide <5641> themselves.



 23 For he will not lay <7760> upon man <0376> more <5750> [than 
right <4941>]; that he should enter <1980> into judgment <4941> 
with God <0410>.



 24 He shall break <7489> in pieces mighty <3524> men without 
<3808> number <2714>, and set <5975> others <0312> in their 
stead <8478>.



 25 Therefore <3651> he knoweth <5234> their works <4566>, and 
he overturneth <2015> [them] in the night <3915>, so that they 
are destroyed <1792>.



 26 He striketh <5606> them as wicked <7563> men in the open 
<4725> sight <7200> of others;



 27 Because they turned <5493> back <5493> from him, and would 
not consider <7919> any <3605> of his ways <1870>:



 28 So that they cause the cry <6818> of the poor <1800> to come 
<0935> unto him, and he heareth <8085> the cry <6818> of the 
afflicted <6041>.



 29 When he giveth quietness <8252>, who <4310> then can make 
trouble <7561>? and when he hideth <5641> [his] face <6440>, who 
<4310> then can behold <7789> him? whether [it be done] against 
<5921> a nation <1471>, or against <5921> a man <0120> only 
<3162>:



 30 That the hypocrite <2611> reign <4427> not, lest the people 
<5971> be ensnared <4170>.



 31. Surely <3588> it is meet to be said <0559> unto God <0410>, 
I have borne <5375> [chastisement], I will not offend <2254> 
[any more]:



 32 [That which] I see <2372> not teach <3384> thou me: if 
<0518> I have done <6466> iniquity <5766>, I will do <6466> no 
<3808> more.



 33 [Should it be] according to thy mind <5973>? he will 
recompense <7999> it, whether <3588> thou refuse <3988>, or 
whether <3588> thou choose <0977>; and not I: therefore speak 
<1696> what <4100> thou knowest <3045>.



 34 Let men <0582> of understanding <3824> tell <0559> me, and 
let a wise <2450> man <1397> hearken <8085> unto me.



 35 Job <0347> hath spoken <1696> without <3808> knowledge 
<1847>, and his words <1697> [were] without <3808> wisdom <7919>.



 36 My desire <15> [is that] Job <0347> may be tried <0974> unto 
the end <5331> because <5921> of [his] answers <8666> for wicked 
<0205> men <0582>.



 37 For he addeth <3254> rebellion <6588> unto his sin <2403>, 
he clappeth <5606> [his hands] among <0996> us, and multiplieth 
<7235> his words <0561> against God <0410>.



Job 35



 1. Elihu <0453> spake <6030> moreover, and said <0559>,



 2 Thinkest <2803> thou this <2063> to be right <4941>, [that] 
thou saidst <0559>, My righteousness <6664> [is] more <3254> 
than God's <0410>?



 3 For thou saidst <0559>, What <4100> advantage <5532> will it 
be unto thee? [and], What <4100> profit <3276> shall I have, [if 
I be cleansed] from my sin <2403>?



 4 I will answer <4405> thee, and thy companions <7453> with 
thee.



 5 Look <5027> unto the heavens <8064>, and see <7200>; and 
behold <7789> the clouds <7834> [which <0834>] are higher <1361> 
than thou.



 6 If <0518> thou sinnest <2398>, what <4100> doest <6466> thou 
against him? or [if] thy transgressions <6588> be multiplied 
<7231>, what <4100> doest <6213> thou unto him?



 7 If <0518> thou be righteous <6663>, what <4100> givest <5414> 
thou him? or <0176> what <4100> receiveth <3947> he of thine 
hand <3027>?



 8 Thy wickedness <7562> [may hurt] a man <0376> as thou [art]; 
and thy righteousness <6666> [may profit] the son <1121> of man 
<0120>.



 9. By reason of the multitude <7230> of oppressions <6217> they 
make [the oppressed] to cry <2199>: they cry <7768> out by 
reason of the arm <2220> of the mighty <7227>.



 10 But none <3808> saith <0559>, Where <0335> [is] God <0433> 
my maker <6213>, who giveth <5414> songs <2158> in the night 
<3915>;



 11 Who teacheth <0502> us more than the beasts <0929> of the 
earth <0776>, and maketh us wiser <2449> than the fowls <5775> 
of heaven <8064>?



 12 There <8033> they cry <6817>, but none <3808> giveth answer 
<6030>, because <6440> of the pride <1347> of evil <7451> men.



 13 Surely <0389> God <0410> will not hear <8085> vanity <7723>, 
neither <3808> will the Almighty <7706> regard <7789> it.



 14. Although thou sayest <0559> thou shalt not see <7789> him, 
[yet] judgment <1779> [is] before <6440> him; therefore trust 
<2342> thou in him.



 15 But now <6258>, because <3588> [it is] not [so], he hath 
visited <6485> in his anger <0639>; yet he knoweth <3045> [it] 
not in great <3966> extremity <6580>:



 16 Therefore doth Job <0347> open <6475> his mouth <6310> in 
vain <1892>; he multiplieth <3527> words <4405> without <1097> 
knowledge <1847>.



Job 36



 1. Elihu <0453> also proceeded <3254>, and said <0559>,



 2 Suffer <3803> me a little <2191>, and I will shew <2331> thee 
that [I have] yet <5750> to speak <4405> on God's <0433> behalf.



 3 I will fetch <5375> my knowledge <1843> from afar <7350>, and 
will ascribe <5414> righteousness <6664> to my Maker <6466>.



 4 For truly <0551> my words <4405> [shall] not [be] false 
<8267>: he that is perfect <8549> in knowledge <1844> [is] with 
thee.



 5. Behold <2005>, God <0410> [is] mighty <3524>, and despiseth 
<3988> not [any: he is] mighty <3524> in strength <3581> [and] 
wisdom <3820>.



 6 He preserveth <2421> not the life <2421> of the wicked <7563>:
 but giveth <5414> right <4941> to the poor <6041>.



 7 He withdraweth <1639> not his eyes <5869> from the righteous 
<6662>: but with kings <4428> [are they] on the throne <3678>; 
yea, he doth establish <3427> them for ever <5331>, and they are 
exalted <1361>.



 8 And if <0518> [they be] bound <0631> in fetters <2131>, [and] 
be holden <3920> in cords <2256> of affliction <6040>;



 9 Then he sheweth <5046> them their work <6467>, and their 
transgressions <6588> that they have exceeded <1396>.



 10 He openeth <1540> also their ear <0241> to discipline <4148>,
 and commandeth <0559> that they return <7725> from iniquity 
<0205>.



 11 If <0518> they obey <8085> and serve <5647> [him], they 
shall spend <3615> their days <3117> in prosperity <2896>, and 
their years <8141> in pleasures <5273>.



 12 But if <0518> they obey <8085> not, they shall perish <5674> 
by the sword <7973>, and they shall die <1478> without <1097> 
knowledge <1847>.



 13 But the hypocrites <2611> in heart <3820> heap <7760> up 
wrath <0639>: they cry <7768> not when <3588> he bindeth <0631> 
them.



 14 They die <4191> in youth <5290>, and their life <2416> [is] 
among the unclean <6945>.



 15. He delivereth <2502> the poor <6041> in his affliction 
<6040>, and openeth <1540> their ears <0241> in oppression 
<3906>.



 16 Even so would he have removed <5493> thee out of the strait 
<6862> [into] a broad <7338> place, where [there is] no <3808> 
straitness <4164>; and that which should be set <5183> on thy 
table <7979> [should be] full <4390> of fatness <1880>.



 17 But thou hast fulfilled <4390> the judgment <1779> of the 
wicked <7563>: judgment <1779> and justice <4941> take <8551> 
hold <8551> [on thee].



 18 Because <3588> [there is] wrath <2534>, [beware] lest <6435> 
he take <5496> thee away <5496> with [his] stroke <5607>: then a 
great <7227> ransom <3724> cannot <3808> deliver <5186> thee.



 19 Will he esteem <6186> thy riches <7769>? [no <3808>], not 
gold <1222>, nor <3808> all <3605> the forces <3981> of strength 
<3581>.



 20 Desire <7602> not the night <3915>, when people <5971> are 
cut <5927> off in their place <8478>.



 21 Take heed <8104>, regard <6437> not iniquity <0205>: for 
this <2088> hast thou chosen <0970> rather than affliction 
<6040>.



 22 Behold <2005>, God <0410> exalteth <7682> by his power 
<3581>: who <4310> teacheth <3384> like <3644> him?



 23 Who <4310> hath enjoined <6485> him his way <1870>? or who 
<4310> can say <0559>, Thou hast wrought <6466> iniquity <5766>?



 24. Remember <2142> that thou magnify <7679> his work <6467>, 
which <0834> men <0582> behold <7891>.



 25 Every <3605> man <0120> may see <2372> it; man <0582> may 
behold <5027> [it] afar <7350> off.



 26 Behold <2005>, God <0410> [is] great <7689>, and we know 
<3045> [him] not, neither <3808> can the number <4557> of his 
years <8141> be searched <2714> out.



 27 For he maketh small <1639> the drops <5197> of water <4325>: 
they pour <2212> down rain <4306> according to the vapour <0108> 
thereof:



 28 Which <0834> the clouds <7834> do drop <5140> [and] distil 
<7491> upon man <0120> abundantly <7227>.



 29 Also <0637> can [any] understand <0995> the spreadings 
<4666> of the clouds <5645>, [or] the noise <8663> of his 
tabernacle <5521>?



 30 Behold <2005>, he spreadeth <6566> his light <0216> upon it, 
and covereth <3680> the bottom <8328> of the sea <3220>.



 31 For by them judgeth <1777> he the people <5971>; he giveth 
<5414> meat <0400> in abundance <4342>.



 32 With clouds <3709> he covereth <3680> the light <0216>; and 
commandeth <6680> it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that cometh 
<6293> betwixt <6293>.



 33 The noise <7452> thereof sheweth <5046> concerning <5921> it,
 the cattle <4735> also <0637> concerning <5921> the vapour 
<5927>.



Job 37



 1. At this <2063> also <0637> my heart <3820> trembleth <2729>, 
and is moved <5425> out of his place <4725>.



 2 Hear <8085> attentively <8085> the noise <7267> of his voice 
<6963>, and the sound <1899> [that] goeth <3318> out of his 
mouth <6310>.



 3 He directeth <3474> it under <8478> the whole <3605> heaven 
<8064>, and his lightning <0216> unto the ends <3671> of the 
earth <0776>.



 4 After <0310> it a voice <6963> roareth <7580>: he thundereth 
<7481> with the voice <6963> of his excellency <1347>; and he 
will not stay <6117> them when <3588> his voice <6963> is heard 
<8085>.



 5 God <0410> thundereth <7481> marvellously <6381> with his 
voice <6963>; great <1419> things doeth <6213> he, which we 
cannot <0408> comprehend <3045>.



 6. For he saith <0559> to the snow <7950>, Be thou [on] the 
earth <0776>; likewise to the small rain <1653>, and to the 
great <4306> rain <1653> of his strength <5797>.



 7 He sealeth <2856> up the hand <3027> of every <3605> man 
<0120>; that all <3605> men <0582> may know <3045> his work 
<4639>.



 8 Then the beasts <2416> go <0935> into <1119> dens <0695>, and 
remain <7931> in their places <4585>.



 9 Out of the south <2315> cometh <0935> the whirlwind <5492>: 
and cold <7135> out of the north <4215>.



 10 By the breath <5397> of God <0410> frost <7140> is given 
<5414>: and the breadth <7341> of the waters <4325> is 
straitened <4164>.



 11 Also <0637> by watering <7377> he wearieth <2959> the thick 
cloud <5645>: he scattereth <6327> his bright <0216> cloud 
<6051>:



 12 And it is turned <2015> round <4524> about by his counsels 
<8458>: that they may do <6467> whatsoever he commandeth <6680> 
them upon the face <6440> of the world <8398> in the earth 
<0776>.



 13 He causeth it to come <4672>, whether <0518> for correction 
<7626>, or for his land <0776>, or for mercy <2617>.



 14. Hearken <0238> unto this <2063>, O Job <0347>: stand <5975> 
still <5975>, and consider <0995> the wondrous <6381> works of 
God <0410>.



 15 Dost thou know <3045> when God <0433> disposed <7760> them, 
and caused the light <0216> of his cloud <6051> to shine <3313>?



 16 Dost thou know <3045> the balancings <4657> of the clouds 
<5645>, the wondrous <4652> works of him which is perfect <8549> 
in knowledge <1843>?



 17 How <0834> thy garments <0899> [are] warm <2525>, when 
<3588> he quieteth <8252> the earth <0776> by the south <1864> 
[wind]?



 18 Hast thou with him spread <7554> out the sky <7834>, [which 
is] strong <2389>, [and] as a molten <3332> looking <7209> glass 
<7209>?



 19 Teach <3045> us what <4100> we shall say <0559> unto him; 
[for] we cannot <3808> order <6186> [our speech] by reason 
<6440> of darkness <2822>.



 20 Shall it be told <5608> him that I speak <1696>? if <0518> a 
man <0376> speak <0559>, surely <3588> he shall be swallowed 
<1104> up.



 21. And now <6258> [men] see <7200> not the bright <0925> light 
<0216> which <1931> [is] in the clouds <7834>: but the wind 
<7307> passeth <5674>, and cleanseth <2891> them.



 22 Fair <2091> weather <2091> cometh <0857> out of the north 
<6828>: with God <0433> [is] terrible <3372> majesty <1935>.



 23 [Touching] the Almighty <7706>, we cannot <3808> find <4672> 
him out: [he is] excellent <7689> in power <3581>, and in 
judgment <4941>, and in plenty <7230> of justice <6666>: he will 
not afflict <6031>.



 24 Men <0582> do <6213> therefore <3651> fear <3372> him: he 
respecteth <7200> not any <3605> [that are] wise <2450> of heart 
<3820>.



Job 38



 1. Then the LORD <3068> answered <6030> Job <0347> out of the 
whirlwind <5591>, and said <0559>,



 2 Who <4310> [is] this <2088> that darkeneth <2821> counsel 
<6098> by words <4405> without <1097> knowledge <1847>?



 3 Gird <0247> up now <4994> thy loins <2504> like <3644> a man 
<1397>; for I will demand <7592> of thee, and answer <3045> thou 
me.



 4. Where <0375> wast <1961> thou when I laid the foundations 
<3245> of the earth <0776>? declare <5046>, if thou hast 
understanding <0998>.



 5 Who <4310> hath laid <7760> the measures <4461> thereof, if 
<3588> thou knowest <3045>? or <0176> who <4310> hath stretched 
<5186> the line <6957> upon it?



 6 Whereupon are the foundations <0134> thereof fastened <2883>? 
or <0176> who <4310> laid <3384> the corner <6438> stone <68> 
thereof;



 7 When the morning <1242> stars <3556> sang <7442> together 
<3162>, and all <3605> the sons <1121> of God <0430> shouted 
<7321> for joy?



 8 Or [who] shut <5526> up the sea <3220> with doors <1817>, 
when it brake <1518> forth <1518>, [as if] it had issued <3318> 
out of the womb <7358>?



 9 When I made <7760> the cloud <6051> the garment <3830> 
thereof, and thick darkness <6205> a swaddlingband <2854> for it,



 10 And brake <7665> up for it my decreed <2706> [place], and 
set <7760> bars <1280> and doors <1817>,



 11 And said <0559>, Hitherto shalt thou come <0935>, but no 
<3808> further <3254>: and here <6311> shall thy proud <1347> 
waves <1530> be stayed <7896>?



 12. Hast thou commanded <6680> the morning <1242> since thy 
days <3117>; [and] caused the dayspring <7837> to know <3045> 
his place <4725>;



 13 That it might take <0270> hold <0270> of the ends <3671> of 
the earth <0776>, that the wicked <7563> might be shaken <5287> 
out of it?



 14 It is turned <2015> as clay <2563> [to] the seal <2368>; and 
they stand <3320> as a garment <3830>.



 15 And from the wicked <7563> their light <0216> is withholden 
<4513>, and the high <7311> arm <2220> shall be broken <7665>.



 16 Hast thou entered <0935> into <5704> the springs <5033> of 
the sea <3220>? or hast thou walked <1980> in the search <2714> 
of the depth <8415>?



 17 Have the gates <8179> of death <4194> been opened <1540> 
unto thee? or hast thou seen <7200> the doors <8179> of the 
shadow <6757> of death <6757>?



 18 Hast thou perceived <0995> the breadth <7338> of the earth 
<0776>? declare <5046> if <0518> thou knowest <3045> it all 
<3605>.



 19 Where <0335> [is] the way <1870> [where <0335>] light <0216> 
dwelleth <7931>? and [as for] darkness <2822>, where <0335> [is] 
the place <4725> thereof,



 20 That thou shouldest take <3947> it to the bound <1366> 
thereof, and that thou shouldest know <0995> the paths <5410> 
[to] the house <1004> thereof?



 21 Knowest <3045> thou [it], because <3588> thou wast then 
<0227> born <3205>? or [because] the number <4557> of thy days 
<3117> [is] great <7227>?



 22 Hast thou entered <0935> into <0413> the treasures <0214> of 
the snow <7950>? or hast thou seen <7200> the treasures <0214> 
of the hail <1259>,



 23 Which <0834> I have reserved <2820> against the time <6256> 
of trouble <6862>, against the day <3117> of battle <7128> and 
war <4421>?



 24 By what way <1870> is the light <0216> parted <2505>, 
[which] scattereth <6327> the east <6921> wind upon the earth 
<0776>?



 25. Who <4310> hath divided <6385> a watercourse <8585> for the 
overflowing <7858> of waters, or a way <1870> for the lightning 
<2385> of thunder <6963>;



 26 To cause it to rain <4305> on <5921> the earth <0776>, 
[where] no <3808> man <0376> [is; on <5921>] the wilderness 
<4057>, wherein [there is] no <3808> man <0120>;



 27 To satisfy <7646> the desolate <7722> and waste <4875> 
[ground]; and to cause the bud <4161> of the tender herb <1877> 
to spring <6779> forth <6779>?



 28 Hath <3426> the rain <4306> a father <1>? or <0176> who 
<4310> hath begotten <3205> the drops <96> of dew <2919>?



 29 Out of whose <4310> womb <0990> came <3318> the ice <7140>? 
and the hoary <3713> frost <3713> of heaven <8064>, who <4310> 
hath gendered <3205> it?



 30 The waters <4325> are hid <2244> as [with] a stone <68>, and 
the face <6440> of the deep <8415> is frozen <3920>.



 31 Canst thou bind <7194> the sweet <4575> influences <4575> of 
Pleiades <3598>, or <0176> loose <6605> the bands <4189> of 
Orion <3685>?



 32 Canst thou bring <3318> forth <3318> Mazzaroth <4216> in his 
season <6256>? or canst thou guide <5148> Arcturus <5906> with 
his sons <1121>?



 33 Knowest <3045> thou the ordinances <2708> of heaven <8064>? 
canst thou set <7760> the dominion <4896> thereof in the earth 
<0776>?



 34 Canst thou lift <7311> up thy voice <6963> to the clouds 
<5645>, that abundance <8229> of waters <4325> may cover <3680> 
thee?



 35 Canst thou send <7971> lightnings <1300>, that they may go 
<3212>, and say <0559> unto thee, Here <2009> we [are]?



 36 Who <4310> hath put <7896> wisdom <2451> in the inward 
<2910> parts? or <0176> who <4310> hath given <5414> 
understanding <0998> to the heart <7907>?



 37 Who <4310> can number <5608> the clouds <7834> in wisdom 
<2451>? or who <4310> can stay <7901> the bottles <5035> of 
heaven <8064>,



 38 When the dust <6083> groweth <3332> into hardness <4165>, 
and the clods <7263> cleave <1692> fast together?



 39 Wilt thou hunt <6679> the prey <2964> for the lion <3833>? 
or fill <4390> the appetite <2416> of the young <3715> lions 
<3715>,



 40 When <3588> they couch <7742> in [their] dens <4585>, [and] 
abide <3427> in the covert <5521> to lie in wait <0695>?



 41 Who <4310> provideth <3559> for the raven <6158> his food 
<6718>? when <3588> his young <3206> ones cry <7768> unto God 
<0410>, they wander <8582> for lack <1097> of meat <0400>.



Job 39



 1. Knowest <3045> thou the time <6256> when the wild <3277> 
goats <3277> of the rock <5553> bring <3205> forth <3205>? [or] 
canst thou mark <8104> when the hinds <0355> do calve <2342>?



 2 Canst thou number <5608> the months <3391> [that] they 
fulfil? or knowest <3045> thou the time <6256> when they bring 
<3205> forth <3205>?



 3 They bow <3766> themselves, they bring <6398> forth <6398> 
their young <3206> ones, they cast <7971> out their sorrows 
<2256>.



 4 Their young <1121> ones are in good <2492> liking <2492>, 
they grow <7235> up with corn <1250>; they go <3318> forth 
<3318>, and return <7725> not unto them.



 5 Who <4310> hath sent <7971> out the wild <6501> ass <5601> 
free <2670>? or who <4310> hath loosed <6605> the bands <4147> 
of the wild <6171> ass <6171>?



 6 Whose <0834> house <1004> I have made <7760> the wilderness 
<6160>, and the barren <4420> land his dwellings <4908>.



 7 He scorneth <7832> the multitude <1995> of the city <7151>, 
neither <3808> regardeth <8085> he the crying <8663> of the 
driver <5065>.



 8 The range <3491> of the mountains <2022> [is] his pasture 
<4829>, and he searcheth <1875> after <0310> every <3605> green 
<3387> thing.



 9 Will the unicorn <7214> be willing <14> to serve <5647> thee, 
or abide <3885> by thy crib <18>?



 10 Canst thou bind <7194> the unicorn <7214> with his band 
<5688> in the furrow <8525>? or will he harrow <7702> the 
valleys <6010> after <0310> thee?



 11 Wilt thou trust <0982> him, because <3588> his strength 
<3581> [is] great <7227>? or wilt thou leave <5800> thy labour 
<3018> to him?



 12 Wilt thou believe <0539> him, that he will bring <7725> home 
<7725> thy seed <2233>, and gather <0622> [it into] thy barn 
<1637>?



 13. [Gavest thou] the goodly <7443> wings <3671> unto the 
peacocks <7443>? or wings <34> and feathers <2624> unto the 
ostrich <5133>?



 14 Which <3588> leaveth <5800> her eggs <1000> in the earth 
<0776>, and warmeth <2552> them in dust <6083>,



 15 And forgetteth <7911> that the foot <7272> may crush <2115> 
them, or that the wild <7704> beast <2416> may break <1758> them.



 16 She is hardened <7188> against her young <1121> ones, as 
though [they were] not hers: her labour <3018> is in vain <7385> 
without <1097> fear <6343>;



 17 Because <3588> God <0433> hath deprived <5382> her of wisdom 
<2451>, neither <3808> hath he imparted <2505> to her 
understanding <0998>.



 18 What time <6256> she lifteth <4754> up herself on high 
<4791>, she scorneth <7832> the horse <5483> and his rider 
<7392>.



 19. Hast thou given <5414> the horse <5483> strength <1369>? 
hast thou clothed <3847> his neck <6677> with thunder <7483>?



 20 Canst thou make him afraid <7493> as a grasshopper <0697>? 
the glory <1935> of his nostrils <5170> [is] terrible <0367>.



 21 He paweth <2658> in the valley <6010>, and rejoiceth <7797> 
in [his] strength <3581>: he goeth <3318> on to meet <7125> the 
armed <5402> men.



 22 He mocketh <7832> at fear <6343>, and is not affrighted 
<2865>; neither <3808> turneth <7725> he back <7725> from the 
sword <2719>.



 23 The quiver <0827> rattleth <7439> against <5921> him, the 
glittering <3851> spear <2595> and the shield <3591>.



 24 He swalloweth <1572> the ground <0776> with fierceness 
<7494> and rage <7267>: neither <3808> believeth <0539> he that 
[it is] the sound <6963> of the trumpet <7782>.



 25 He saith <0559> among <1767> the trumpets <7782>, Ha <1889>, 
ha <1889>; and he smelleth <7306> the battle <4421> afar <7350> 
off, the thunder <7482> of the captains <8269>, and the shouting 
<8643>.



 26. Doth the hawk <5322> fly <82> by thy wisdom <0998>, [and] 
stretch <6566> her wings <3671> toward the south <8486>?



 27 Doth the eagle <5404> mount <1361> up at <5291> thy command 
<6310>, and make her nest <7064> on high <7311>?



 28 She dwelleth <7931> and abideth <3885> on the rock <5553>, 
upon the crag <8127> of the rock <5553>, and the strong <4686> 
place.



 29 From thence <8033> she seeketh <2658> the prey <0400>, [and] 
her eyes <5869> behold <5027> afar <7350> off.



 30 Her young <0667> ones also suck <5966> up blood <1818>: and 
where <0834> the slain <2491> [are], there <8033> [is] she.



Job 40



 1. Moreover the LORD <3068> answered <6030> Job <0347>, and 
said <0559>,



 2 Shall he that contendeth <7378> with the Almighty <7706> 
instruct <3250> [him]? he that reproveth <3198> God <0433>, let 
him answer <6030> it.



 3 Then Job <0347> answered <6030> the LORD <3068>, and said 
<0559>,



 4 Behold <2005>, I am vile <7043>; what <4100> shall I answer 
<7725> thee? I will lay <7760> mine hand <3027> upon my mouth 
<6310>.



 5 Once <0259> have I spoken <1696>; but I will not answer 
<6030>: yea, twice <8147>; but I will proceed <3254> no <3808> 
further.



 6. Then answered <6030> the LORD <3068> unto Job <0347> out of 
the whirlwind <5591>, and said <0559>,



 7 Gird <0247> up thy loins <2504> now <4994> like a man <1397>: 
I will demand <7592> of thee, and declare <3045> thou unto me.



 8 Wilt thou also <0637> disannul <6565> my judgment <4941>? 
wilt thou condemn <7561> me, that thou mayest be righteous 
<6663>?



 9 Hast thou an arm <2220> like God <0410>? or canst thou 
thunder <7481> with a voice <6963> like <3644> him?



 10 Deck <5710> thyself now <4994> [with] majesty <1347> and 
excellency <1363>; and array <3847> thyself with glory <1935> 
and beauty <1926>.



 11 Cast <6327> abroad <6327> the rage <5678> of thy wrath 
<0639>: and behold <7200> every <3605> one [that is] proud 
<1343>, and abase <8213> him.



 12 Look <7200> on every <3605> one [that is] proud <1343>, 
[and] bring <3665> him low <3665>; and tread <1915> down the 
wicked <7563> in their place <8478>.



 13 Hide <2934> them in the dust <6083> together <3162>; [and] 
bind <2280> their faces <6440> in secret <2934>.



 14 Then will I also <1571> confess <3034> unto thee that thine 
own right <3225> hand <3225> can save <3467> thee.



 15. Behold <2009> now <4994> behemoth <0930>, which <0834> I 
made <6213> with thee; he eateth <0398> grass <2682> as an ox 
<1241>.



 16 Lo <2009> now <4994>, his strength <3581> [is] in his loins 
<4975>, and his force <0202> [is] in the navel <8306> of his 
belly <0990>.



 17 He moveth <2654> his tail <2180> like <3644> a cedar <0730>: 
the sinews <1517> of his stones <6344> are wrapped <8276> 
together.



 18 His bones <6106> [are as] strong <0650> pieces of brass 
<5154>; his bones <1634> [are] like bars <4800> of iron <1270>.



 19 He [is] the chief <7725> of the ways <1870> of God <0410>: 
he that made <6213> him can make his sword <2719> to approach 
<5066> [unto him].



 20 Surely <3588> the mountains <2022> bring <5375> him forth 
food <0944>, where <8033> all <3605> the beasts <2416> of the 
field <7704> play <7832>.



 21 He lieth <7901> under <8478> the shady <6628> trees, in the 
covert <5643> of the reed <7070>, and fens <1207>.



 22 The shady <6628> trees cover <5526> him [with] their shadow 
<6752>; the willows <6155> of the brook <5158> compass <5437> 
him about.



 23 Behold <2005>, he drinketh <6231> up a river <5104>, [and] 
hasteth <2648> not: he trusteth <0982> that he can draw <1518> 
up Jordan <3383> into <0413> his mouth <6310>.



 24 He taketh <3947> it with his eyes <5869>: [his] nose <0639> 
pierceth <5344> through snares <4170>.



Job 41



 1. Canst thou draw <4900> out leviathan <3882> with an hook 
<0100>? or his tongue <3956> with a cord <2256> [which] thou 
lettest <8257> down <8257>?



 2 Canst thou put <7760> an hook <2443> into his nose <0639>? or 
bore <5344> his jaw <3895> through with a thorn <2336>?



 3 Will he make many <7235> supplications <8469> unto thee? will 
he speak <1696> soft <7390> [words] unto thee?



 4 Will he make <3772> a covenant <1285> with thee? wilt thou 
take <3947> him for a servant <5650> for ever <5769>?



 5 Wilt thou play <7832> with him as [with] a bird <6833>? or 
wilt thou bind <7194> him for thy maidens <5291>?



 6 Shall the companions <2271> make a banquet <3738> of him? 
shall they part <2673> him among <0996> the merchants <3669>?



 7 Canst thou fill <4390> his skin <5785> with barbed <7905> 
irons <7905>? or his head <7218> with fish <1709> spears <6767>?



 8 Lay <7760> thine hand <3709> upon him, remember <2142> the 
battle <4421>, do no <0408> more <3254>.



 9 Behold <2005>, the hope <8431> of him is in vain <3576>: 
shall not [one] be cast <2904> down <2904> even <1571> at the 
sight <4758> of him?



 10 None <3808> [is so] fierce <0393> that dare stir <5782> him 
up: who <4310> then is able to stand <3320> before <6440> me?



 11. Who <4310> hath prevented <6923> me, that I should repay 
<7999> [him? whatsoever is] under <8478> the whole <3605> heaven 
<8064> is mine.



 12 I will not conceal <2790> his parts <0905>, nor his power 
<1369>, nor his comely <2433> proportion <6187>.



 13 Who <4310> can discover <1540> the face <6440> of his 
garment <3830>? [or] who <4310> can come <0935> [to him] with 
his double <3718> bridle <7448>?



 14 Who <4310> can open <6605> the doors <1817> of his face 
<6440>? his teeth <8127> [are] terrible <0367> round <5439> 
about.



 15 [His] scales [are his] pride <1346>, shut <5462> up together 
[as with] a close <6862> seal <2368>.



 16 One <0259> is so near <5066> to another <0259>, that no 
<3908> air <7307> can come <0935> between <0996> them.



 17 They are joined <1692> one <0376> to another <0250>, they 
stick <3920> together, that they cannot <3808> be sundered 
<6504>.



 18 By his neesings <5846> a light <0216> doth shine <1984>, and 
his eyes <5869> [are] like the eyelids <6079> of the morning 
<7837>.



 19 Out of his mouth <6310> go <1980> burning <3940> lamps 
<3940>, [and] sparks <3590> of fire <0784> leap <4422> out.



 20 Out of his nostrils <5156> goeth <3318> smoke <6227>, as 
[out] of a seething <5301> pot <1731> or caldron <0100>.



 21 His breath <5315> kindleth <3857> coals <1513>, and a flame 
<3851> goeth <3318> out of his mouth <6310>.



 22 In his neck <6677> remaineth <3885> strength <5797>, and 
sorrow <1670> is turned <1750> into joy before <6440> him.



 23 The flakes <4651> of his flesh <1320> are joined <1692> 
together: they are firm <3332> in themselves; they cannot <1077> 
be moved <4131>.



 24 His heart <3820> is as firm <3332> as a stone <68>; yea, as 
hard <3332> as a piece <6400> of the nether <8482> [millstone].



 25 When he raiseth <7613> up himself, the mighty <0410> are 
afraid <1481>: by reason of breakings <7667> they purify <2398> 
themselves.



 26 The sword <2719> of him that layeth <5381> at him cannot 
<1097> hold <6965>: the spear <2595>, the dart <4551>, nor the 
habergeon <8302>.



 27 He esteemeth <2803> iron <1270> as straw <8401>, [and] brass 
<5154> as rotten <7539> wood <6086>.



 28 The arrow cannot <3808> make him flee <1272>: slingstones 
are turned <2015> with him into stubble <7179>.



 29 Darts <8455> are counted <2803> as stubble <7179>: he 
laugheth <7832> at the shaking <7494> of a spear <3591>.



 30 Sharp <2303> stones <2789> [are] under <8478> him: he 
spreadeth <7502> sharp <2742> pointed <2742> things upon the 
mire <2916>.



 31 He maketh the deep <4688> to boil <7570> like a pot <5518>: 
he maketh <7760> the sea <3220> like a pot of ointment <4841>.



 32 He maketh a path <5410> to shine <0215> after <0310> him; 
[one] would think <2803> the deep <8415> [to be] hoary <7872>.



 33 Upon earth <6083> there is not his like <4915>, who is made 
<6213> without <1097> fear <2844>.



 34 He beholdeth <7200> all <3605> high <1364> [things]: he [is] 
a king <4428> over <5921> all <3605> the children <1121> of

Job 42



 1. Then Job <0347> answered <6030> the LORD <3068>, and said 
<0559>,



 2 I know <3045> that thou canst <3201> do every <3605> [thing], 
and [that] no <3908> thought <4209> can be withholden <1219> 
from thee.



 3 Who <4310> [is] he that hideth <5956> counsel <6098> without 
<1097> knowledge <1847>? therefore <3651> have I uttered <5046> 
that I understood <0995> not; things too wonderful <6381> for me,
 which I knew <3045> not.



 4 Hear <8085>, I beseech <4994> thee, and I will speak <1696>: 
I will demand <7592> of thee, and declare <3045> thou unto me.



 5 I have heard <8085> of thee by the hearing <8088> of the ear 
<0241>: but now <6258> mine eye <5869> seeth <7200> thee.



 6 Wherefore I abhor <3988> [myself], and repent <5162> in dust 
<6083> and ashes <0665>.



 7. And it was [so], that after <0310> the LORD <3068> had 
spoken <1696> these <0428> words <1697> unto Job <0347>, the 
LORD <3068> said <0559> to Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <8489>, 
My wrath <0639> is kindled <2734> against thee, and against thy 
two <8147> friends <7453>: for ye have not spoken <1696> of me 
[the thing that is] right <3559>, as my servant <5650> Job 
<0347> [hath].



 8 Therefore take <3947> unto you now <6258> seven <7651> 
bullocks <6499> and seven <7651> rams <0352>, and go <3212> to 
my servant <5650> Job <0347>, and offer <5927> up for yourselves 
a burnt <5930> offering; and my servant <5650> Job <0347> shall 
pray <6419> for you: for him will I accept <5375>: lest <1115> I 
deal <6213> with you [after <0310> your] folly <5039>, in that 
ye have not spoken <1696> of me [the thing which is] right 
<3559>, like my servant <5650> Job <0347>.



 9 So Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <8489> and Bildad <1085> the 
Shuhite <7747> [and] Zophar <6691> the Naamathite <5284> went 
<3212>, and did <6213> according as the LORD <3068> commanded 
<1696> them: the LORD <3068> also accepted <5375> Job <0347>.



 10. And the LORD <3068> turned <7725> the captivity <7622> of 
Job <0347>, when he prayed <6419> for his friends <7453>: also 
the LORD <3068> gave <3254> Job <0347> twice <4932> as much 
<0634> as he had before.



 11 Then came <0935> there unto him all <3605> his brethren 
<0251>, and all <3605> his sisters <0269>, and all <3605> they 
that had been of his acquaintance <3045> before <6440>, and did 
eat <0398> bread <3899> with him in his house <1004>: and they 
bemoaned <5110> him, and comforted <5162> him over <5921> all 
<3605> the evil <7451> that the LORD <3068> had brought <0935> 
upon him: every man <0376> also gave <5414> him a piece of money 
<7192>, and every <0376> one <0376> an earring <5141> of gold 
<2091>.



 12 So the LORD <3068> blessed <1288> the latter <0319> end of 
Job <0347> more than his beginning <7225>: for he had <1961> 
fourteen thousand <0505> sheep <6629>, and six <8337> thousand 
<0505> camels <1581>, and a thousand <0505> yoke <6776> of oxen 
<1241>, and a thousand <0505> she asses <0860>.



 13 He had <1961> also seven <7658> sons <1121> and three <7969> 
daughters <1121>.



 14 And he called <7121> the name <8034> of the first <7223>, 
Jemima <3224>; and the name <8034> of the second <8145>, Kezia 
<7103>; and the name <8034> of the third <7992>, Kerenhappuch 
<7163>.



 15 And in all <3605> the land <0776> were no <3908> women 
<0802> found <4672> [so] fair <3303> as the daughters <1121> of 
Job <0347>: and their father <1> gave <5414> them inheritance 
<5159> among <8432> their brethren <0251>.



 16 After <0310> this <2063> lived <2421> Job <0347> an hundred 
<3967> and forty <0705> years <8141>, and saw <7200> his sons 
<1121>, and his sons <1121>' sons <1121>, [even] four <0702> 
generations <1755>.



 17 So Job <0347> died <4191>, [being] old <2205> and full 
<7646> of days <3117>.
