Q
Job1:1
A
There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
2
Q
Job1:2
A
And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
3
Q
Job1:3
A
His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
4
Q
Job1:4
A
And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
5
Q
Job1:5
A
And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
6
Q
Job1:6
A
Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
7
Q
Job1:7
A
And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
8
Q
Job1:8
A
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
9
Q
Job1:9
A
Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
10
Q
Job1:10
A
Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
11
Q
Job1:11
A
But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
12
Q
Job1:12
A
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
13
Q
Job1:13
A
And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
14
Q
Job1:14
A
And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
15
Q
Job1:15
A
And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
16
Q
Job1:16
A
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
17
Q
Job1:17
A
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
18
Q
Job1:18
A
While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house:
19
Q
Job1:19
A
And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
20
Q
Job1:20
A
Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
21
Q
Job1:21
A
And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
22
Q
Job1:22
A
In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
23
Q
Job2:1
A
Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
24
Q
Job2:2
A
And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
25
Job2:3
And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
26
Job2:4
And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
27
Job2:5
But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
28
Job2:6
And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
29
Job2:7
So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
30
Job2:8
And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
31
Job2:9
Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
32
Job2:10
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
33
Job2:11
Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
34
Job2:12
And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
35
Job2:13
So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his grief was very great.
36
Job3:1
After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
37
Job3:2
And Job spake, and said,
38
Job3:3
Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
39
Job3:4
Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine upon it.
40
Job3:5
Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
41
Job3:6
As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
42
Job3:7
Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
43
Job3:8
Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
44
Job3:9
Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
45
Job3:10
Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.
46
Job3:11
Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
47
Job3:12
Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
48
Job3:13
For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
49
Job3:14
With kings and counsellors of the earth, which built desolate places for themselves;
50
Job3:15
Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
51
Job3:16
Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
52
Job3:17
There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
53
Job3:18
There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
54
Job3:19
The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
55
Job3:20
Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter in soul;
56
Job3:21
Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
57
Job3:22
Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
58
Job3:23
Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
59
Job3:24
For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
60
Job3:25
For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.
61
Job3:26
I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.
62
Job4:1
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
63
Job4:2
If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
64
Job4:3
Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.
65
Job4:4
Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
66
Job4:5
But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
67
Job4:6
Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the uprightness of thy ways?
68
Job4:7
Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
69
Job4:8
Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
70
Job4:9
By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
71
Job4:10
The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
72
Job4:11
The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's whelps are scattered abroad.
73
Job4:12
Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.
74
Job4:13
In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,
75
Job4:14
Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
76
Job4:15
Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
77
Job4:16
It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
78
Job4:17
Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
79
Job4:18
Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
80
Job4:19
How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
81
Job4:20
They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
82
Job4:21
Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
83
Job5:1
Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?
84
Job5:2
For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
85
Job5:3
I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
86
Job5:4
His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
87
Job5:5
Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
88
Job5:6
Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
89
Job5:7
Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
90
Job5:8
I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
91
Job5:9
Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things without number:
92
Job5:10
Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:
93
Job5:11
To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
94
Job5:12
He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
95
Job5:13
He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
96
Job5:14
They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
97
Job5:15
But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
98
Job5:16
So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
99
Job5:17
Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
100
Job5:18
For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
101
Job5:19
He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
102
Job5:20
In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
103
Job5:21
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
104
Job5:22
At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
105
Job5:23
For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
106
Job5:24
And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
107
Job5:25
Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
108
Job5:26
Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
109
Job5:27
Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
110
Job6:1
But Job answered and said,
111
Job6:2
Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
112
Job6:3
For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
113
Job6:4
For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
114
Job6:5
Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
115
Job6:6
Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
116
Job6:7
The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
117
Job6:8
Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
118
Job6:9
Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
119
Job6:10
Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
120
Job6:11
What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
121
Job6:12
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
122
Job6:13
Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
123
Job6:14
To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
124
Job6:15
My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
125
Job6:16
Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
126
Job6:17
What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
127
Job6:18
The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
128
Job6:19
The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
129
Job6:20
They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
130
Job6:21
For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.
131
Job6:22
Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
132
Job6:23
Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
133
Job6:24
Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
134
Job6:25
How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?
135
Job6:26
Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
136
Job6:27
Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your friend.
137
Job6:28
Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.
138
Job6:29
Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
139
Job6:30
Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?
140
Job7:1
Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
141
Job7:2
As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his work:
142
Job7:3
So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
143
Job7:4
When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.
144
Job7:5
My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
145
Job7:6
My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
146
Job7:7
O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
147
Job7:8
The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
148
Job7:9
As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.
149
Job7:10
He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
150
Job7:11
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
151
Job7:12
Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
152
Job7:13
When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
153
Job7:14
Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions:
154
Job7:15
So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my life.
155
Job7:16
I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
156
Job7:17
What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?
157
Job7:18
And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
158
Job7:19
How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
159
Job7:20
I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
160
Job7:21
And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
161
Job8:1
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
162
Job8:2
How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
163
Job8:3
Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
164
Job8:4
If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
165
Job8:5
If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
166
Job8:6
If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
167
Job8:7
Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
168
Job8:8
For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
169
Job8:9
(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
170
Job8:10
Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
171
Job8:11
Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
172
Job8:12
Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
173
Job8:13
So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
174
Job8:14
Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
175
Job8:15
He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
176
Job8:16
He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
177
Job8:17
His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
178
Job8:18
If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
179
Job8:19
Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
180
Job8:20
Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
181
Job8:21
Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
182
Job8:22
They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
183
Job9:1
Then Job answered and said,
184
Job9:2
I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
185
Job9:3
If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
186
Job9:4
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
187
Job9:5
Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
188
Job9:6
Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
189
Job9:7
Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
190
Job9:8
Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
191
Job9:9
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
192
Job9:10
Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
193
Job9:11
Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
194
Job9:12
Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
195
Job9:13
If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
196
Job9:14
How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
197
Job9:15
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
198
Job9:16
If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
199
Job9:17
For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
200
Job9:18
He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
201
Job9:19
If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
202
Job9:20
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
203
Job9:21
Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
204
Job9:22
This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
205
Job9:23
If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
206
Job9:24
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
207
Job9:25
Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
208
Job9:26
They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
209
Job9:27
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
210
Job9:28
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
211
Job9:29
If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
212
Job9:30
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
213
Job9:31
Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
214
Job9:32
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
215
Job9:33
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
216
Job9:34
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
217
Job9:35
Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
218
Job10:1
My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
219
Job10:2
I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
220
Job10:3
Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
221
Job10:4
Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
222
Job10:5
Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
223
Job10:6
That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
224
Job10:7
Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
225
Job10:8
Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
226
Job10:9
Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
227
Job10:10
Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
228
Job10:11
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
229
Job10:12
Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
230
Job10:13
And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
231
Job10:14
If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
232
Job10:15
If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;
233
Job10:16
For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
234
Job10:17
Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
235
Job10:18
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
236
Job10:19
I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
237
Job10:20
Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
238
Job10:21
Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
239
Job10:22
A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
240
Job11:1
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
241
Job11:2
Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
242
Job11:3
Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
243
Job11:4
For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
244
Job11:5
But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
245
Job11:6
And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
246
Job11:7
Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?
247
Job11:8
It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
248
Job11:9
The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
249
Job11:10
If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
250
Job11:11
For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
251
Job11:12
For vain man would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass's colt.
252
Job11:13
If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
253
Job11:14
If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
254
Job11:15
For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
255
Job11:16
Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
256
Job11:17
And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
257
Job11:18
And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
258
Job11:19
Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
259
Job11:20
But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
260
Job12:1
And Job answered and said,
261
Job12:2
No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
262
Job12:3
But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
263
Job12:4
I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
264
Job12:5
He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
265
Job12:6
The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
266
Job12:7
But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
267
Job12:8
Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
268
Job12:9
Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
269
Job12:10
In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
270
Job12:11
Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
271
Job12:12
With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
272
Job12:13
With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
273
Job12:14
Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
274
Job12:15
Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
275
Job12:16
With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
276
Job12:17
He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
277
Job12:18
He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
278
Job12:19
He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
279
Job12:20
He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
280
Job12:21
He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
281
Job12:22
He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
282
Job12:23
He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them again.
283
Job12:24
He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
284
Job12:25
They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
285
Job13:1
Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
286
Job13:2
What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
287
Job13:3
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
288
Job13:4
But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
289
Job13:5
O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
290
Job13:6
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
291
Job13:7
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
292
Job13:8
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
293
Job13:9
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
294
Job13:10
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
295
Job13:11
Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
296
Job13:12
Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
297
Job13:13
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
298
Job13:14
Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
299
Job13:15
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
300
Job13:16
He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
301
Job13:17
Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
302
Job13:18
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
303
Job13:19
Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
304
Job13:20
Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
305
Job13:21
Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
306
Job13:22
Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
307
Job13:23
How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
308
Job13:24
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
309
Job13:25
Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
310
Job13:26
For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
311
Job13:27
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
312
Job13:28
And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
313
Job14:1
Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
314
Job14:2
He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
315
Job14:3
And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?
316
Job14:4
Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
317
Job14:5
Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
318
Job14:6
Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hireling, his day.
319
Job14:7
For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
320
Job14:8
Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock thereof die in the ground;
321
Job14:9
Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
322
Job14:10
But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
323
Job14:11
As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
324
Job14:12
So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
325
Job14:13
O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
326
Job14:14
If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
327
Job14:15
Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thine hands.
328
Job14:16
For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
329
Job14:17
My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
330
Job14:18
And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
331
Job14:19
The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
332
Job14:20
Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
333
Job14:21
His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
334
Job14:22
But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
335
Job15:1
Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
336
Job15:2
Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
337
Job15:3
Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
338
Job15:4
Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
339
Job15:5
For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
340
Job15:6
Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
341
Job15:7
Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
342
Job15:8
Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
343
Job15:9
What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
344
Job15:10
With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
345
Job15:11
Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
346
Job15:12
Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
347
Job15:13
That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
348
Job15:14
What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
349
Job15:15
Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
350
Job15:16
How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
351
Job15:17
I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
352
Job15:18
Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
353
Job15:19
Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
354
Job15:20
The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
355
Job15:21
A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
356
Job15:22
He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
357
Job15:23
He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
358
Job15:24
Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
359
Job15:25
For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
360
Job15:26
He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
361
Job15:27
Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
362
Job15:28
And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
363
Job15:29
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
364
Job15:30
He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
365
Job15:31
Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
366
Job15:32
It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
367
Job15:33
He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
368
Job15:34
For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
369
Job15:35
They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
370
Job16:1
Then Job answered and said,
371
Job16:2
I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
372
Job16:3
Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
373
Job16:4
I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
374
Job16:5
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
375
Job16:6
Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
376
Job16:7
But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
377
Job16:8
And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
378
Job16:9
He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
379
Job16:10
They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
380
Job16:11
God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
381
Job16:12
I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
382
Job16:13
His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
383
Job16:14
He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
384
Job16:15
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
385
Job16:16
My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
386
Job16:17
Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
387
Job16:18
O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
388
Job16:19
Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
389
Job16:20
My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
390
Job16:21
O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
391
Job16:22
When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
392
Job17:1
My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
393
Job17:2
Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
394
Job17:3
Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
395
Job17:4
For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
396
Job17:5
He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
397
Job17:6
He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
398
Job17:7
Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
399
Job17:8
Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
400
Job17:9
The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
401
Job17:10
But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
402
Job17:11
My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
403
Job17:12
They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
404
Job17:13
If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
405
Job17:14
I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
406
Job17:15
And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
407
Job17:16
They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
408
Job18:1
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
409
Job18:2
How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
410
Job18:3
Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
411
Job18:4
He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
412
Job18:5
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
413
Job18:6
The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
414
Job18:7
The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
415
Job18:8
For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
416
Job18:9
The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
417
Job18:10
The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
418
Job18:11
Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
419
Job18:12
His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
420
Job18:13
It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
421
Job18:14
His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
422
Job18:15
It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
423
Job18:16
His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
424
Job18:17
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
425
Job18:18
He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
426
Job18:19
He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
427
Job18:20
They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
428
Job18:21
Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
429
Job19:1
Then Job answered and said,
430
Job19:2
How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
431
Job19:3
These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
432
Job19:4
And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
433
Job19:5
If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
434
Job19:6
Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
435
Job19:7
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
436
Job19:8
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
437
Job19:9
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
438
Job19:10
He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
439
Job19:11
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
440
Job19:12
His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
441
Job19:13
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
442
Job19:14
My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
443
Job19:15
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
444
Job19:16
I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.
445
Job19:17
My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
446
Job19:18
Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
447
Job19:19
All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
448
Job19:20
My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
449
Job19:21
Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
450
Job19:22
Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
451
Job19:23
Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
452
Job19:24
That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
453
Job19:25
For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
454
Job19:26
And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
455
Job19:27
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
456
Job19:28
But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
457
Job19:29
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
458
Job20:1
Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
459
Job20:2
Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
460
Job20:3
I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.
461
Job20:4
Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
462
Job20:5
That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
463
Job20:6
Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;
464
Job20:7
Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
465
Job20:8
He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
466
Job20:9
The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
467
Job20:10
His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
468
Job20:11
His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
469
Job20:12
Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
470
Job20:13
Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
471
Job20:14
Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
472
Job20:15
He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
473
Job20:16
He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall slay him.
474
Job20:17
He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
475
Job20:18
That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
476
Job20:19
Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
477
Job20:20
Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
478
Job20:21
There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
479
Job20:22
In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
480
Job20:23
When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
481
Job20:24
He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
482
Job20:25
It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
483
Job20:26
All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
484
Job20:27
The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
485
Job20:28
The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
486
Job20:29
This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
487
Job21:1
But Job answered and said,
488
Job21:2
Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
489
Job21:3
Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
490
Job21:4
As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
491
Job21:5
Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
492
Job21:6
Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
493
Job21:7
Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
494
Job21:8
Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
495
Job21:9
Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
496
Job21:10
Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
497
Job21:11
They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
498
Job21:12
They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
499
Job21:13
They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
500
Job21:14
Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
501
Job21:15
What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
502
Job21:16
Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
503
Job21:17
How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
504
Job21:18
They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
505
Job21:19
God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
506
Job21:20
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
507
Job21:21
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
508
Job21:22
Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
509
Job21:23
One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
510
Job21:24
His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
511
Job21:25
And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
512
Job21:26
They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
513
Job21:27
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
514
Job21:28
For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
515
Job21:29
Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,
516
Job21:30
That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
517
Job21:31
Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
518
Job21:32
Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
519
Job21:33
The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
520
Job21:34
How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
521
Job22:1
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
522
Job22:2
Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?
523
Job22:3
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
524
Job22:4
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
525
Job22:5
Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
526
Job22:6
For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
527
Job22:7
Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
528
Job22:8
But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
529
Job22:9
Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
530
Job22:10
Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
531
Job22:11
Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
532
Job22:12
Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
533
Job22:13
And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
534
Job22:14
Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.
535
Job22:15
Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
536
Job22:16
Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
537
Job22:17
Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
538
Job22:18
Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
539
Job22:19
The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
540
Job22:20
Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
541
Job22:21
Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
542
Job22:22
Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
543
Job22:23
If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
544
Job22:24
Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
545
Job22:25
Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
546
Job22:26
For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
547
Job22:27
Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
548
Job22:28
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
549
Job22:29
When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
550
Job22:30
He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
551
Job23:1
Then Job answered and said,
552
Job23:2
Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
553
Job23:3
Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
554
Job23:4
I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
555
Job23:5
I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
556
Job23:6
Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
557
Job23:7
There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
558
Job23:8
Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
559
Job23:9
On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
560
Job23:10
But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
561
Job23:11
My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
562
Job23:12
Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
563
Job23:13
But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
564
Job23:14
For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
565
Job23:15
Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
566
Job23:16
For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
567
Job23:17
Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.
568
Job24:1
Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
569
Job24:2
Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
570
Job24:3
They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.
571
Job24:4
They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
572
Job24:5
Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.
573
Job24:6
They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
574
Job24:7
They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
575
Job24:8
They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
576
Job24:9
They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
577
Job24:10
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
578
Job24:11
Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
579
Job24:12
Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
580
Job24:13
They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
581
Job24:14
The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
582
Job24:15
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
583
Job24:16
In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
584
Job24:17
For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
585
Job24:18
He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
586
Job24:19
Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.
587
Job24:20
The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
588
Job24:21
He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
589
Job24:22
He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.
590
Job24:23
Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.
591
Job24:24
They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
592
Job24:25
And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
593
Job25:1
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
594
Job25:2
Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.
595
Job25:3
Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
596
Job25:4
How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
597
Job25:5
Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
598
Job25:6
How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
599
Job26:1
But Job answered and said,
600
Job26:2
How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?
601
Job26:3
How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
602
Job26:4
To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
603
Job26:5
Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
604
Job26:6
Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
605
Job26:7
He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.
606
Job26:8
He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
607
Job26:9
He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.
608
Job26:10
He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
609
Job26:11
The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
610
Job26:12
He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.
611
Job26:13
By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
612
Job26:14
Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
613
Job27:1
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
614
Job27:2
As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
615
Job27:3
All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
616
Job27:4
My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
617
Job27:5
God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.
618
Job27:6
My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
619
Job27:7
Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
620
Job27:8
For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
621
Job27:9
Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
622
Job27:10
Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?
623
Job27:11
I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
624
Job27:12
Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?
625
Job27:13
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
626
Job27:14
If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
627
Job27:15
Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
628
Job27:16
Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
629
Job27:17
He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
630
Job27:18
He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
631
Job27:19
The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
632
Job27:20
Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
633
Job27:21
The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
634
Job27:22
For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
635
Job27:23
Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
636
Job28:1
Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
637
Job28:2
Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
638
Job28:3
He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
639
Job28:4
The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
640
Job28:5
As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
641
Job28:6
The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
642
Job28:7
There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
643
Job28:8
The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
644
Job28:9
He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
645
Job28:10
He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
646
Job28:11
He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
647
Job28:12
But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
648
Job28:13
Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
649
Job28:14
The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
650
Job28:15
It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
651
Job28:16
It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
652
Job28:17
The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
653
Job28:18
No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
654
Job28:19
The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
655
Job28:20
Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
656
Job28:21
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
657
Job28:22
Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
658
Job28:23
God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
659
Job28:24
For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
660
Job28:25
To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
661
Job28:26
When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
662
Job28:27
Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
663
Job28:28
And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
664
Job29:1
Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
665
Job29:2
Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
666
Job29:3
When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
667
Job29:4
As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
668
Job29:5
When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
669
Job29:6
When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
670
Job29:7
When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
671
Job29:8
The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
672
Job29:9
The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
673
Job29:10
The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
674
Job29:11
When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
675
Job29:12
Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
676
Job29:13
The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
677
Job29:14
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
678
Job29:15
I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
679
Job29:16
I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
680
Job29:17
And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
681
Job29:18
Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
682
Job29:19
My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
683
Job29:20
My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
684
Job29:21
Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
685
Job29:22
After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
686
Job29:23
And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
687
Job29:24
If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
688
Job29:25
I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
689
Job30:1
But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
690
Job30:2
Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
691
Job30:3
For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
692
Job30:4
Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
693
Job30:5
They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
694
Job30:6
To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
695
Job30:7
Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
696
Job30:8
They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
697
Job30:9
And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
698
Job30:10
They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
699
Job30:11
Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
700
Job30:12
Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
701
Job30:13
They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
702
Job30:14
They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
703
Job30:15
Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
704
Job30:16
And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
705
Job30:17
My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
706
Job30:18
By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
707
Job30:19
He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
708
Job30:20
I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
709
Job30:21
Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
710
Job30:22
Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
711
Job30:23
For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
712
Job30:24
Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
713
Job30:25
Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
714
Job30:26
When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
715
Job30:27
My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
716
Job30:28
I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
717
Job30:29
I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
718
Job30:30
My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
719
Job30:31
My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
720
Job31:1
I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
721
Job31:2
For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
722
Job31:3
Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
723
Job31:4
Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
724
Job31:5
If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
725
Job31:6
Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.
726
Job31:7
If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
727
Job31:8
Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
728
Job31:9
If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
729
Job31:10
Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
730
Job31:11
For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
731
Job31:12
For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
732
Job31:13
If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
733
Job31:14
What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
734
Job31:15
Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
735
Job31:16
If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
736
Job31:17
Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
737
Job31:18
(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
738
Job31:19
If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
739
Job31:20
If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
740
Job31:21
If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
741
Job31:22
Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
742
Job31:23
For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
743
Job31:24
If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
744
Job31:25
If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
745
Job31:26
If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
746
Job31:27
And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
747
Job31:28
This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
748
Job31:29
If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
749
Job31:30
Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
750
Job31:31
If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
751
Job31:32
The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
752
Job31:33
If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
753
Job31:34
Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
754
Job31:35
Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
755
Job31:36
Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
756
Job31:37
I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
757
Job31:38
If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
758
Job31:39
If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
759
Job31:40
Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
760
Job32:1
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
761
Job32:2
Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
762
Job32:3
Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
763
Job32:4
Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
764
Job32:5
When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
765
Job32:6
And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.
766
Job32:7
I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
767
Job32:8
But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
768
Job32:9
Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
769
Job32:10
Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.
770
Job32:11
Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
771
Job32:12
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
772
Job32:13
Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
773
Job32:14
Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
774
Job32:15
They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.
775
Job32:16
When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
776
Job32:17
I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
777
Job32:18
For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
778
Job32:19
Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
779
Job32:20
I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
780
Job32:21
Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
781
Job32:22
For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
782
Job33:1
Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
783
Job33:2
Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
784
Job33:3
My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
785
Job33:4
The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
786
Job33:5
If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
787
Job33:6
Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
788
Job33:7
Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
789
Job33:8
Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
790
Job33:9
I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
791
Job33:10
Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
792
Job33:11
He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
793
Job33:12
Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
794
Job33:13
Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
795
Job33:14
For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
796
Job33:15
In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
797
Job33:16
Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
798
Job33:17
That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
799
Job33:18
He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
800
Job33:19
He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
801
Job33:20
So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
802
Job33:21
His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
803
Job33:22
Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
804
Job33:23
If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
805
Job33:24
Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
806
Job33:25
His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
807
Job33:26
He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
808
Job33:27
He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
809
Job33:28
He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
810
Job33:29
Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
811
Job33:30
To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
812
Job33:31
Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
813
Job33:32
If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
814
Job33:33
If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
815
Job34:1
Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
816
Job34:2
Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
817
Job34:3
For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
818
Job34:4
Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
819
Job34:5
For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
820
Job34:6
Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
821
Job34:7
What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
822
Job34:8
Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
823
Job34:9
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
824
Job34:10
Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
825
Job34:11
For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
826
Job34:12
Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
827
Job34:13
Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
828
Job34:14
If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
829
Job34:15
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
830
Job34:16
If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
831
Job34:17
Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
832
Job34:18
Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
833
Job34:19
How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
834
Job34:20
In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
835
Job34:21
For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
836
Job34:22
There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
837
Job34:23
For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
838
Job34:24
He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
839
Job34:25
Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
840
Job34:26
He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
841
Job34:27
Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
842
Job34:28
So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
843
Job34:29
When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
844
Job34:30
That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
845
Job34:31
Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
846
Job34:32
That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
847
Job34:33
Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
848
Job34:34
Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
849
Job34:35
Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
850
Job34:36
My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
851
Job34:37
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
852
Job35:1
Elihu spake moreover, and said,
853
Job35:2
Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?
854
Job35:3
For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
855
Job35:4
I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
856
Job35:5
Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.
857
Job35:6
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
858
Job35:7
If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?
859
Job35:8
Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.
860
Job35:9
By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.
861
Job35:10
But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;
862
Job35:11
Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
863
Job35:12
There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.
864
Job35:13
Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
865
Job35:14
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
866
Job35:15
But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
867
Job35:16
Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.
868
Job36:1
Elihu also proceeded, and said,
869
Job36:2
Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.
870
Job36:3
I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.
871
Job36:4
For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
872
Job36:5
Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
873
Job36:6
He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.
874
Job36:7
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
875
Job36:8
And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;
876
Job36:9
Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.
877
Job36:10
He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
878
Job36:11
If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
879
Job36:12
But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
880
Job36:13
But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.
881
Job36:14
They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
882
Job36:15
He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression.
883
Job36:16
Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
884
Job36:17
But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
885
Job36:18
Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
886
Job36:19
Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
887
Job36:20
Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
888
Job36:21
Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
889
Job36:22
Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
890
Job36:23
Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
891
Job36:24
Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
892
Job36:25
Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
893
Job36:26
Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
894
Job36:27
For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
895
Job36:28
Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
896
Job36:29
Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
897
Job36:30
Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
898
Job36:31
For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
899
Job36:32
With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
900
Job36:33
The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
901
Job37:1
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
902
Job37:2
Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
903
Job37:3
He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
904
Job37:4
After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
905
Job37:5
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
906
Job37:6
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
907
Job37:7
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
