Job: Chapter 1

¹There was a man^H0376 in the land^H0776 of Uz^H5780, whose name^H8034 was Job^H0347; and that man^H0376 was perfect^H8535 and upright^H3477, and one that feared^H3373 God^H0430, and eschewed^H5493 evil^H7451. ²And there were born^H3205 unto him seven^H7651 sons^H1121 and three^H7969 daughters^H1323. ³His substance^H4735 also was seven^H7651 thousand^H0505 sheep^H6629, and three^H7969 thousand^H0505 camels^H1581, and five^H2568 hundred^H3967 yoke^H6776 of oxen^H1241, and five^H2568 hundred^H3967 she asses^H0860, and a very^H3966 great^H7227 household^H5657; so that this man^H0376 was the greatest^H1419 of all the men^H1121 of the east^H6924.

⁴And his sons^H1121 went^H1980 and feasted^H4960 in their houses^H1004, every one^H0376 his day^H3117; and sent^H7971 and called^H7121 for their three^H7969 sisters^H0269 to eat^H0398 and to drink^H8354 with them. ⁵And it was so, when the days^H3117 of their feasting^H4960 were gone about^H5362, that Job^H0347 sent^H7971 and sanctified^H6942 them, and rose up early^H7925 in the morning^H1242, and offered^H5927 burnt offerings^H5930 according to the number^H4557 of them all: for Job^H0347 said^H0559, It may be^H0194 that my sons^H1121 have sinned^H2398, and cursed^H1288 God^H0430 in their hearts^H3824. Thus did^H6213 Job^H0347 continually^H3117.

⁶Now there was a day^H3117 when the sons^H1121 of God^H0430 came^H0935 to present^H3320 themselves before the LORD^H3068, and Satan^H7854 came^H0935 also among^H8432 them. ⁷And the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto Satan^H7854, Whence^H0370 comest^H0935 thou? Then Satan^H7854 answered^H6030 the LORD^H3068, and said^H0559, From going to and fro^H7751 in the earth^H0776, and from walking up and down^H1980 in it. ⁸And the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto Satan^H7854, Hast thou considered^H7760 my servant^H5650 Job^H0347, that there is none like him in the earth^H0776, a perfect^H8535 and an upright^H3477 man^H0376, one that feareth^H3373 God^H0430, and escheweth^H5493 evil^H7451? ⁹Then Satan^H7854 answered^H6030 the LORD^H3068, and said^H0559, Doth Job^H0347 fear^H3372 God^H0430 for nought^H2600? ¹⁰Hast not thou made an hedge^H7753 about him, and about^H1157 his house^H1004, and about all that he hath on every side^H5439? thou hast blessed^H1288 the work^H4639 of his hands^H3027, and his substance^H4735 is increased^H6555 in the land^H0776. ¹¹But^H0199 put forth^H7971 thine hand^H3027 now, and touch^H5060 all that he hath, and he will curse^H1288 thee to thy face^H6440. ¹²And the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto Satan^H7854, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power^H3027; only upon himself put not forth^H7971 thine hand^H3027. So Satan^H7854 went forth^H3318 from the presence^H6440 of the LORD^H3068.

¹³And there was a day^H3117 when his sons^H1121 and his daughters^H1323 were eating^H0398 and drinking^H8354 wine^H3196 in their eldest^H1060 brothers^H0251 house^H1004: ¹⁴And there came^H0935 a messenger^H4397 unto Job^H0347, and said^H0559, The oxen^H1241 were plowing^H2790, and the asses^H0860 feeding^H7462 beside^H3027 them: ¹⁵And the Sabeans^H7614 fell^H5307 upon them , and took them away^H3947; yea, they have slain^H5221 the servants^H5288 with the edge^H6310 of the sword^H2719; and I only am escaped^H4422 alone to tell^H5046 thee. ¹⁶While he was yet speaking^H1696, there came^H0935 also another, and said^H0559, The fire^H0784 of God^H0430 is fallen^H5307 from heaven^H8064, and hath burned up^H1197 the sheep^H6629, and the servants^H5288, and consumed^H0398 them; and I only am escaped^H4422 alone to tell^H5046 thee. ¹⁷While he was yet speaking^H1696, there came^H0935 also another, and said^H0559, The Chaldeans^H3778 made out^H7760 three^H7969 bands^H7218, and fell^H6584 upon the camels^H1581, and have carried them away^H3947, yea, and slain^H5221 the servants^H5288 with the edge^H6310 of the sword^H2719; and I only am escaped^H4422 alone to tell^H5046 thee. ¹⁸While he was yet speaking^H1696, there came^H0935 also another, and said^H0559, Thy sons^H1121 and thy daughters^H1323 were eating^H0398 and drinking^H8354 wine^H3196 in their eldest^H1060 brothers^H0251 house^H1004: ¹⁹And, behold, there came^H0935 a great^H1419 wind^H7307 from^H5676 the wilderness^H4057, and smote^H5060 the four^H0702 corners^H6438 of the house^H1004, and it fell^H5307 upon the young men^H5288, and they are dead^H4191; and I only am escaped^H4422 alone to tell^H5046 thee.

²⁰Then Job^H0347 arose^H6965, and rent^H7167 his mantle^H4598, and shaved^H1494 his head^H7218, and fell down^H5307 upon the ground^H0776, and worshipped^H7812, ²¹And said^H0559, Naked^H6174 came I out^H3318 of my mothers^H0517 womb^H0990, and naked^H6174 shall I return^H7725 thither: the LORD^H3068 gave^H5414, and the LORD^H3068 hath taken away^H3947; blessed^H1288 be the name^H8034 of the LORD^H3068. ²²In all this Job^H0347 sinned^H2398 not, nor charged^H5414 God^H0430 foolishly^H8604.

Job: Chapter 2

¹Again there was a day^H3117 when the sons^H1121 of God^H0430 came^H0935 to present^H3320 themselves before the LORD^H3068, and Satan^H7854 came^H0935 also among^H8432 them to present^H3320 himself before the LORD^H3068. ²And the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto Satan^H7854, From whence^H0335 comest^H0935 thou? And Satan^H7854 answered^H6030 the LORD^H3068, and said^H0559, From going to and fro^H7751 in the earth^H0776, and from walking up and down^H1980 in it. ³And the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto Satan^H7854, Hast thou^H7760 considered^H3820 my servant^H5650 Job^H0347, that there is none like him in the earth^H0776, a perfect^H8535 and an upright^H3477 man^H0376, one that feareth^H3373 God^H0430, and escheweth^H5493 evil^H7451? and still he holdeth fast^H2388 his integrity^H8538, although thou movedst^H5496 me against him, to destroy^H1104 him without cause^H2600. ⁴And Satan^H7854 answered^H6030 the LORD^H3068, and said^H0559, Skin^H5785 for skin^H5785, yea, all that a man^H0376 hath will he give^H5414 for his life^H5315. ⁵But^H0199 put forth^H7971 thine hand^H3027 now, and touch^H5060 his bone^H6106 and his flesh^H1320, and he will curse^H1288 thee to thy face^H6440. ⁶And the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 unto Satan^H7854, Behold, he is in thine hand^H3027; but save^H8104 his life^H5315.

⁷So went^H3318 Satan^H7854 forth^H3318 from the presence^H6440 of the LORD^H3068, and smote^H5221 Job^H0347 with sore^H7451 boils^H7822 from the sole^H3709 of his foot^H7272 unto his crown^H6936. ⁸And he took^H3947 him a potsherd^H2789 to scrape^H1623 himself withal; and he sat down^H3427 among^H8432 the ashes^H0665.

⁹Then said^H0559 his wife^H0802 unto him, Dost thou still retain^H2388 thine integrity^H8538? curse^H1288 God^H0430, and die^H4191. ¹⁰But he said^H0559 unto her, Thou speakest^H1696 as one^H0259 of the foolish women^H5036 speaketh^H1696. What^H1571? shall we receive^H6901 good^H2896 at the hand of God^H0430, and shall we not receive^H6901 evil^H7451? In all this did not Job^H0347 sin^H2398 with his lips^H8193.

¹¹Now when Jobs^H0347 three^H7969 friends^H7453 heard^H8085 of all this evil^H7451 that was come^H0935 upon him, they came^H0935 every one^H0376 from his own place^H4725; Eliphaz^H0464 the Temanite^H8489, and Bildad^H1085 the Shuhite^H7747, and Zophar^H6691 the Naamathite^H5284: for they had made an appointment^H3259 together^H3162 to come^H0935 to mourn^H5110 with him and to comfort^H5162 him. ¹²And when they lifted up^H5375 their eyes^H5869 afar off^H7350, and knew^H5234 him not, they lifted up^H5375 their voice^H6963, and wept^H1058; and they rent^H7167 every one^H0376 his mantle^H4598, and sprinkled^H2236 dust^H6083 upon their heads^H7218 toward heaven^H8064. ¹³So they sat down^H3427 with him upon the ground^H0776 seven^H7651 days^H3117 and seven^H7651 nights^H3915, and none spake^H1696 a word^H1697 unto him: for they saw^H7200 that his grief^H3511 was very^H3966 great^H1431.

Job: Chapter 3

¹After^H0310 this opened^H6605 Job^H0347 his mouth^H6310, and cursed^H7043 his day^H3117. ²And Job^H0347 spake^H6030, and said^H0559, ³Let the day^H3117 perish^H0006 wherein I was born^H3205, and the night^H3915 in which it was said^H0559, There is a man child^H1397 conceived^H2029. ⁴Let that day^H3117 be darkness^H2822; let not God^H0433 regard^H1875 it from above^H4605, neither let the light^H5105 shine^H3313 upon it. ⁵Let darkness^H2822 and the shadow of death^H6757 stain^H1350 it; let a cloud^H6053 dwell^H7931 upon it; let the blackness^H3650 of the day^H3117 terrify^H1204 it. ⁶As for that night^H3915, let darkness^H0652 seize^H3947 upon it; let it not be joined^H2302 unto the days^H3117 of the year^H8141, let it not come^H0935 into the number^H4557 of the months^H3391. ⁷Lo, let that night^H3915 be solitary^H1565, let no joyful voice^H7445 come^H0935 therein. ⁸Let them curse^H5344 it that curse^H0779 the day^H3117, who are ready^H6264 to raise up^H5782 their mourning^H3882. ⁹Let the stars^H3556 of the twilight^H5399 thereof be dark^H2821; let it look^H6960 for light^H0216, but have none; neither let it see^H7200 the dawning^H6079 of the day^H7837: ¹⁰Because it shut not up^H5462 the doors^H1817 of my mothers womb^H0990, nor hid^H5641 sorrow^H5999 from mine eyes^H5869.

¹¹Why died^H4191 I not from the womb^H7358? why did I not give up the ghost^H1478 when I came out^H3318 of the belly^H0990? ¹²Why did the knees^H1290 prevent^H6923 me? or why the breasts^H7699 that I should suck^H3243? ¹³For now should I have lain still^H7901 and been quiet^H8252, I should have slept^H3462: then had I been at rest^H5117, ¹⁴With kings^H4428 and counsellors^H3289 of the earth^H0776, which built^H1129 desolate places^H2723 for themselves; ¹⁵Or with princes^H8269 that had gold^H2091, who filled^H4390 their houses^H1004 with silver^H3701: ¹⁶Or as an hidden^H2934 untimely birth^H5309 I had not been; as infants^H5768 which never saw^H7200 light^H0216. ¹⁷There the wicked^H7563 cease^H2308 from troubling^H7267; and there the weary^H3019 be at rest^H5117. ¹⁸ There the prisoners^H0615 rest^H7599 together^H3162; they hear^H8085 not the voice^H6963 of the oppressor^H5065. ¹⁹The small^H6996 and great^H1419 are there; and the servant^H5650 is free^H2670 from his master^H0113.

²⁰Wherefore is light^H0216 given^H5414 to him that is in misery^H6001, and life^H2416 unto the bitter^H4751 in soul^H5315; ²¹Which long^H2442 for death^H4194, but it cometh not; and dig^H2658 for it more than for hid treasures^H4301; ²²Which rejoice^H8056 exceedingly^H1524, and are glad^H7797, when they can find^H4672 the grave^H6913? ²³ Why is light given to a man^H1397 whose way^H1870 is hid^H5641, and whom God^H0433 hath hedged in^H5526? ²⁴For my sighing^H0585 cometh^H0935 before^H6440 I eat^H3899, and my roarings^H7581 are poured out^H5413 like the waters^H4325. ²⁵For the thing which I greatly^H6343 feared^H6342 is come^H0857 upon me, and that which I was afraid^H3025 of is come^H0935 unto me. ²⁶I was not in safety^H7951, neither had I rest^H8252, neither was I quiet^H5117; yet trouble^H7267 came^H0935.

Job: Chapter 4

¹Then Eliphaz^H0464 the Temanite^H8489 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, ² If we assay^H5254 to commune^H1697 with thee, wilt thou be grieved^H3811? but who can^H3201 withhold^H6113 himself from speaking^H4405? ³Behold, thou hast instructed^H3256 many^H7227, and thou hast strengthened^H2388 the weak^H7504 hands^H3027. ⁴Thy words^H4405 have upholden^H6965 him that was falling^H3782, and thou hast strengthened^H0553 the feeble^H3766 knees^H1290. ⁵But now it is come^H0935 upon thee, and thou faintest^H3811; it toucheth^H5060 thee, and thou art troubled^H0926. ⁶ Is not this thy fear^H3374, thy confidence^H3690, thy hope^H8615, and the uprightness^H8537 of thy ways^H1870?

⁷Remember^H2142, I pray thee, who ever perished^H0006, being innocent^H5355? or where^H0375 were the righteous^H3477 cut off^H3582? ⁸Even as I have seen^H7200, they that plow^H2790 iniquity^H0205, and sow^H2232 wickedness^H5999, reap^H7114 the same. ⁹By the blast^H5397 of God^H0433 they perish^H0006, and by the breath^H7307 of his nostrils^H0639 are they consumed^H3615. ¹⁰The roaring^H7581 of the lion^H0738, and the voice^H6963 of the fierce lion^H7826, and the teeth^H8127 of the young lions^H3715, are broken^H5421. ¹¹The old lion^H3918 perisheth^H0006 for lack^H1097 of prey^H2964, and the stout lions^H3833 whelps^H1121 are scattered abroad^H6504.

¹²Now a thing^H1697 was secretly brought^H1589 to me, and mine ear^H0241 received^H3947 a little^H8102 thereof. ¹³In thoughts^H5587 from the visions^H2384 of the night^H3915, when deep sleep^H8639 falleth^H5307 on men^H0582, ¹⁴Fear^H6343 came^H7122 upon me, and trembling^H7461, which made all^H7230 my bones^H6106 to shake^H6342. ¹⁵Then a spirit^H7307 passed^H2498 before my face^H6440; the hair^H8185 of my flesh^H1320 stood up^H5568: ¹⁶It stood still^H5975, but I could not discern^H5234 the form^H4758 thereof: an image^H8544 was before mine eyes^H5869, there was silence^H1827, and I heard^H8085 a voice^H6963, saying , ¹⁷Shall mortal man^H0582 be more just^H6663 than God^H0433? shall a man^H1397 be more pure^H2891 than his maker^H6213? ¹⁸Behold, he put no trust^H0539 in his servants^H5650; and his angels^H4397 he charged^H7760 with folly^H8417: ¹⁹How much less^H0637 in them that dwell^H7931 in houses^H1004 of clay^H2563, whose foundation^H3247 is in the dust^H6083, which are crushed^H1792 before^H6440 the moth^H6211? ²⁰They are destroyed^H3807 from morning^H1242 to evening^H6153: they perish^H0006 for ever^H5331 without any regarding^H7760 it . ²¹Doth not their excellency^H3499 which is in them go away^H5265? they die^H4191, even without wisdom^H2451.

Job: Chapter 5

¹Call^H7121 now, if there be^H3426 any that will answer^H6030 thee; and to which of the saints^H6918 wilt thou turn^H6437? ²For wrath^H3708 killeth^H2026 the foolish man^H0191, and envy^H7068 slayeth^H4191 the silly one^H6601. ³I have seen^H7200 the foolish^H0191 taking root^H8327: but suddenly^H6597 I cursed^H5344 his habitation^H5116. ⁴His children^H1121 are far^H7368 from safety^H3468, and they are crushed^H1792 in the gate^H8179, neither is there any to deliver^H5337 them . ⁵Whose harvest^H7105 the hungry^H7457 eateth up^H0398, and taketh^H3947 it even out^H0413 of the thorns^H6791, and the robber^H6782 swalloweth up^H7602 their substance^H2428.

⁶Although affliction^H0205 cometh not forth^H3318 of the dust^H6083, neither doth trouble^H5999 spring out^H6779 of the ground^H0127; ⁷Yet man^H0120 is born^H3205 unto trouble^H5999, as the sparks^H1121 fly^H5774 upward^H1361. ⁸I would seek^H0199 unto God^H0410, and unto God^H0430 would I commit^H7760 my cause^H1700: ⁹Which doeth^H6213 great things^H1419 and unsearchable^H0369; marvellous things^H6381 without number^H4557: ¹⁰Who giveth^H5414 rain^H4306 upon^H6440 the earth^H0776, and sendeth^H7971 waters^H4325 upon^H6440 the fields^H2351: ¹¹To set up^H7760 on high^H4791 those that be low^H8217; that those which mourn^H6937 may be exalted^H7682 to safety^H3468. ¹²He disappointeth^H6565 the devices^H4284 of the crafty^H6175, so that their hands^H3027 cannot perform^H6213 their enterprise^H8454. ¹³He taketh^H3920 the wise^H2450 in their own craftiness^H6193: and the counsel^H6098 of the froward^H6617 is carried headlong^H4116. ¹⁴They meet^H6298 with darkness^H2822 in the daytime^H3119, and grope^H4959 in the noonday^H6672 as in the night^H3915. ¹⁵But he saveth^H3467 the poor^H0034 from the sword^H2719, from their mouth^H6310, and from the hand^H3027 of the mighty^H2389. ¹⁶So the poor^H1800 hath hope^H8615, and iniquity^H5766 stoppeth^H7092 her mouth^H6310.

¹⁷Behold, happy^H0835 is the man^H0582 whom God^H0433 correcteth^H3198: therefore despise^H3988 not thou the chastening^H4148 of the Almighty^H7706: ¹⁸For he maketh sore^H3510, and bindeth up^H2280: he woundeth^H4272, and his hands^H3027 make whole^H7495. ¹⁹He shall deliver^H5337 thee in six^H8337 troubles^H6869: yea, in seven^H7651 there shall no evil^H7451 touch^H5060 thee. ²⁰In famine^H7458 he shall redeem^H6299 thee from death^H4194: and in war^H4421 from the power^H3027 of the sword^H2719. ²¹Thou shalt be hid^H2244 from the scourge^H7752 of the tongue^H3956: neither shalt thou be afraid^H3372 of destruction^H7701 when it cometh^H0935. ²²At destruction^H7701 and famine^H3720 thou shalt laugh^H7832: neither shalt thou be afraid^H3372 of the beasts^H2416 of the earth^H0776. ²³For thou shalt be in league^H1285 with the stones^H0068 of the field^H7704: and the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704 shall be at peace^H7999 with thee. ²⁴And thou shalt know^H3045 that thy tabernacle^H0168 shall be in peace^H7965; and thou shalt visit^H6485 thy habitation^H5116, and shalt not sin^H2398. ²⁵Thou shalt know^H3045 also that thy seed^H2233 shall be great^H7227, and thine offspring^H6631 as the grass^H6212 of the earth^H0776. ²⁶Thou shalt come^H0935 to thy grave^H6913 in a full age^H3624, like as a shock of corn^H1430 cometh in^H5927 in his season^H6256. ²⁷Lo this, we have searched^H2713 it, so it is; hear^H8085 it, and know^H3045 thou it for thy good.

¹But Job^H0347 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, ²Oh that^H3863 my grief^H3708 were throughly^H8254 weighed^H8254, and my calamity^H1942 laid^H5375 in the balances^H3976 together^H3162! ³For now it would be heavier^H3513 than the sand^H2344 of the sea^H3220: therefore my words^H1697 are swallowed up^H3886. ⁴For the arrows^H2671 of the Almighty^H7706 are within^H5978 me, the poison^H2534 whereof drinketh up^H8354 my spirit^H7307: the terrors^H1161 of God^H0433 do set themselves in array^H6186 against me. ⁵Doth the wild ass^H6501 bray^H5101 when he hath grass^H1877? or loweth^H1600 the ox^H7794 over his fodder^H1098? ⁶Can that which is unsavoury^H8602 be eaten^H0398 without salt^H4417? or is there^H3426 any taste^H2940 in the white^H7388 of an egg^H2495? ⁷The things that my soul^H5315 refused^H3985 to touch^H5060 are as my sorrowful^H1741 meat^H3899.

⁸Oh that I might have^H0935 my request^H7596; and that God^H0433 would grant^H5414 me the thing that I long for^H8615! ⁹Even that it would please^H2974 God^H0433 to destroy^H1792 me; that he would let loose^H5425 his hand^H3027, and cut me off^H1214! ¹⁰Then should I yet have comfort^H5165; yea, I would harden^H5539 myself in sorrow^H2427: let him not spare^H2550; for I have not concealed^H3582 the words^H0561 of the Holy One^H6918. ¹¹What is my strength^H3581, that I should hope^H3176? and what is mine end^H7093, that I should prolong^H0748 my life^H5315? ¹² Is my strength^H3581 the strength^H3581 of stones^H0068? or is my flesh^H1320 of brass^H5153? ¹³ Is not my help^H5833 in me? and is wisdom^H8454 driven quite^H5080 from me?

¹⁴To him that is afflicted^H4523 pity^H2617 should be shewed from his friend^H7453; but he forsaketh^H5800 the fear^H3374 of the Almighty^H7706. ¹⁵My brethren^H0251 have dealt deceitfully^H0898 as a brook^H5158, and as the stream^H0650 of brooks^H5158 they pass away^H5674; ¹⁶Which are blackish^H6937 by reason of the ice^H7140, and wherein the snow^H7950 is hid^H5956: ¹⁷What time^H6256 they wax warm^H2215, they vanish^H6789: when it is hot^H2527, they are consumed out^H1846 of their place^H4725. ¹⁸The paths^H0734 of their way^H1870 are turned aside^H3943; they go^H5927 to nothing^H8414, and perish^H0006. ¹⁹The troops^H0734 of Tema^H8485 looked^H5027, the companies^H1979 of Sheba^H7614 waited^H6960 for them. ²⁰They were confounded^H0954 because they had hoped^H0982; they came^H0935 thither, and were ashamed^H2659. ²¹For now ye are nothing; ye see^H7200 my casting down^H2866, and are afraid^H3372.

²²Did I say^H0559, Bring^H3051 unto me? or, Give a reward^H7809 for me of your substance^H3581? ²³Or, Deliver^H4422 me from the enemys^H6862 hand^H3027? or, Redeem^H6299 me from the hand^H3027 of the mighty^H6184? ²⁴Teach^H3384 me, and I will hold my tongue^H2790: and cause me to understand^H0995 wherein I have erred^H7686. ²⁵How forcible^H4834 are right^H3476 words^H0561! but what doth your arguing^H3198 reprove^H3198? ²⁶Do ye imagine^H2803 to reprove^H3198 words^H4405, and the speeches^H0561 of one that is desperate^H2976, which are as wind^H7307? ²⁷Yea, ye overwhelm^H5307 the fatherless^H3490, and ye dig^H3738 a pit for your friend^H7453. ²⁸Now therefore be content^H2974, look^H6437 upon me; for it is evident^H6440 unto you if I lie^H3576. ²⁹Return^H7725, I pray you, let it not be iniquity^H5766; yea, return again^H7725, my righteousness^H6664 is in it. ³⁰Is there^H3426 iniquity^H5766 in my tongue^H3956? cannot my taste^H2441 discern^H0995 perverse things^H1942?

Job: Chapter 7

¹ Is there not an appointed time^H6635 to man^H0582 upon earth^H0776? are not his days^H3117 also like the days^H3117 of an hireling^H7916? ²As a servant^H5650 earnestly desireth^H7602 the shadow^H6738, and as an hireling^H7916 looketh^H6960 for the reward of his work^H6467: ³So am I made to possess^H5157 months^H3391 of vanity^H7723, and wearisome^H5999 nights^H3915 are appointed^H4487 to me. ⁴When I lie down^H7901, I say^H0559, When shall I arise^H6965, and the night^H6153 be gone^H4059? and I am full^H7646 of tossings to and fro^H5076 unto the dawning of the day^H5399. ⁵My flesh^H1320 is clothed^H3847 with worms^H7415 and clods^H1487 of dust^H6083; my skin^H5785 is broken^H7280, and become loathsome^H3988. ⁶My days^H3117 are swifter^H7043 than a weavers shuttle^H0708, and are spent^H3615 without^H0657 hope^H8615.

⁷O remember^H2142 that my life^H2416 is wind^H7307: mine eye^H5869 shall no more^H7725 see^H7200 good^H2896. ⁸The eye^H5869 of him that hath seen^H7210 me shall see^H7789 me no more: thine eyes^H5869 are upon me, and I am not. ⁹ As the cloud^H6051 is consumed^H3615 and vanisheth away^H3212: so he that goeth down^H3381 to the grave^H7585 shall come up^H5927 no more . ¹⁰He shall return^H7725 no more to his house^H1004, neither shall his place^H4725 know^H5234 him any more. ¹¹Therefore I will not refrain^H2820 my mouth^H6310; I will speak^H1696 in the anguish^H6862 of my spirit^H7307; I will complain^H7878 in the bitterness^H4751 of my soul^H5315. ¹² Am I a sea^H3220, or a whale^H8577, that thou settest^H7760 a watch^H4929 over me? ¹³When I say^H0559, My bed^H6210 shall comfort^H5162 me, my couch^H4904 shall ease^H5375 my complaint^H7879; ¹⁴Then thou scarest^H2865 me with dreams^H2472, and terrifiest^H1204 me through visions^H2384: ¹⁵So that my soul^H5315 chooseth^H0977 strangling^H4267, and death^H4194 rather than my life^H6106. ¹⁶I loathe^H3988 it; I would not live^H2421 alway^H5769: let me alone^H2308; for my days^H3117 are vanity^H1892.

¹⁷What is man^H0582, that thou shouldest magnify^H1431 him? and that thou shouldest set^H7896 thine heart^H3820 upon him? ¹⁸And that thou shouldest visit^H6485 him every morning^H1242, and try^H0974 him every moment^H7281? ¹⁹How long^H4100 wilt thou not depart^H8159 from me, nor let me alone^H7503 till I swallow down^H1104 my spittle^H7536? ²⁰I have sinned^H2398; what shall I do^H6466 unto thee, O thou preserver^H5341 of men^H0120? why hast thou set^H7760 me as a mark^H4645 against thee, so that I am a burden^H4853 to myself? ²¹And why dost thou not pardon^H5375 my transgression^H6588, and take away^H5674 mine iniquity^H5771? for now shall I sleep^H7901 in the dust^H6083; and thou shalt seek me in the morning^H7836, but I shall not be .

Job: Chapter 8

¹Then answered^H6030 Bildad^H1085 the Shuhite^H7747, and said^H0559, ²How^H0575 long^H5704 wilt thou speak^H4448 these things ? and how long shall the words^H0561 of thy mouth^H6310 be like a strong^H3524 wind^H7307? ³Doth God^H0410 pervert^H5791 judgment^H4941? or doth the Almighty^H7706 pervert^H5791 justice^H6664? ⁴If thy children^H1121 have sinned^H2398 against him, and he have cast them away^H7971 for^H3027 their transgression^H6588; ⁵If thou wouldest seek^H7836 unto God^H0410 betimes^H7836, and make thy supplication^H2603 to the Almighty^H7706; ⁶If thou wert pure^H2134 and upright^H3477; surely now he would awake^H5782 for thee, and make the habitation^H5116 of thy righteousness^H6664 prosperous^H7999. ⁷Though thy beginning^H7225 was small^H4705, yet thy latter end^H0319 should greatly^H3966 increase^H7685.

⁸For enquire^H7592, I pray thee, of the former^H7223 age^H1755, and prepare^H3559 thyself to the search^H2714 of their fathers^H0001: ⁹(For we are but of yesterday^H8543, and know^H3045 nothing, because our days^H3117 upon earth^H0776 are a shadow^H6738:) ¹⁰Shall not they teach^H3384 thee, and tell^H0559 thee, and utter^H3318 words^H4405 out of their heart^H3820? ¹¹Can the rush^H1573 grow up^H1342 without mire^H1207? can^H7685 the flag^H0260 grow^H7685 without^H1097 water^H4325? ¹²Whilst it is yet in his greenness^H0003, and not cut down^H6998, it withereth^H3001 before^H6440 any other herb^H2682. ¹³So are the paths^H0734 of all that forget^H7911 God^H0410; and the hypocrites^H2611 hope^H8615 shall perish^H0006: ¹⁴Whose hope^H3689 shall be cut off^H6990, and whose trust^H4009 shall be a spiders^H5908 web^H1004. ¹⁵He shall lean^H8172 upon his house^H1004, but it shall not stand^H5975: he shall hold^H2388 it fast, but it shall not endure^H6965. ¹⁶He is green^H7373 before^H6440 the sun^H8121, and his branch^H3127 shooteth forth^H3318 in his garden^H1593. ¹⁷His roots^H8328 are wrapped about^H5440 the heap^H1530, and seeth^H2372 the place^H1004 of stones^H0068. ¹⁸If he destroy^H1104 him from his place^H4725, then it shall deny^H3584 him, saying , I have not seen^H7200 thee. ¹⁹Behold, this is the joy^H4885 of his way^H1870, and out of the earth^H6083 shall others^H0312 grow^H6779.

²⁰Behold, God^H0410 will not cast away^H3988 a perfect^H8535 man , neither will he help^H2388 the evil doers^H7489: ²¹Till he fill^H4390 thy mouth^H6310 with laughing^H7814, and thy lips^H8193 with rejoicing^H8643. ²²They that hate^H8130 thee shall be clothed^H3847 with shame^H1322; and the dwelling^H0168 place of the wicked^H7563 shall come to nought^H0369.

Job: Chapter 9

¹Then Job^H0347 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, ²I know^H3045 it is so of a truth^H0551: but how should man^H0582 be just^H6663 with God^H0410? ³If he will^H2654 contend^H7378 with him, he cannot answer^H6030 him one^H0259 of a thousand^H0505. ⁴ He is wise^H2450 in heart^H3824, and mighty^H0533 in strength^H3581: who hath hardened^H7185 himself against him, and hath prospered^H7999? ⁵Which removeth^H6275 the mountains^H2022, and they know^H3045 not: which overturneth^H2015 them in his anger^H0639. ⁶Which shaketh^H7264 the earth^H0776 out of her place^H4725, and the pillars^H5982 thereof tremble^H6426. ⁷Which commandeth^H0559 the sun^H2775, and it riseth^H2224 not; and sealeth up^H2856 the stars^H3556. ⁸Which alone spreadeth out^H5186 the heavens^H8064, and treadeth^H1869 upon the waves^H1116 of the sea^H3220. ⁹Which maketh^H6213 Arcturus^H5906, Orion^H3685, and Pleiades^H3598, and the chambers^H2315 of the south^H8486. ¹⁰Which doeth^H6213 great things^H1419 past^H0369 finding out^H2714; yea, and wonders^H6381 without number^H4557. ¹¹Lo, he goeth^H5674 by me, and I see^H7200 him not: he passeth on^H2498 also, but I perceive^H0995 him not. ¹²Behold, he taketh away^H2862, who can hinder^H7725 him? who will say^H0559 unto him, What doest^H6213 thou? ¹³ If God^H0433 will not withdraw^H7725 his anger^H0639, the proud^H7293 helpers^H5826 do stoop^H7817 under him.

¹⁴How much less shall I answer^H6030 him, and choose out^H0977 my words^H1697 to reason with him? ¹⁵Whom, though I were righteous^H6663, yet would I not answer^H6030, but I would make supplication^H2603 to my judge^H8199. ¹⁶If I had called^H7121, and he had answered^H6030 me; yet would I not believe^H0539 that he had hearkened^H0238 unto my voice^H6963. ¹⁷For he breaketh^H7779 me with a tempest^H8183, and multiplieth^H7235 my wounds^H6482 without cause^H2600. ¹⁸He will not suffer^H5414 me to take^H7725 my breath^H7307, but filleth^H7646 me with bitterness^H4472. ¹⁹If I speak of strength^H3581, lo, he is strong^H0533: and if of judgment^H4941, who shall set^H3259 me a time to plead ? ²⁰If I justify^H6663 myself, mine own mouth^H6310 shall condemn^H7561 me: if I say , I am perfect^H8535, it shall also prove me perverse^H6140. ²¹ Though I were perfect^H8535, yet would I not know^H3045 my soul^H5315: I would despise^H3988 my life^H2416.

²²This is one^H0259 thing , therefore I said^H0559 it , He destroyeth^H3615 the perfect^H8535 and the wicked^H7563. ²³If the scourge^H7752 slay^H4191 suddenly^H6597, he will laugh^H3932 at the trial^H4531 of the innocent^H5355. ²⁴The earth^H0776 is given^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the wicked^H7563: he covereth^H3680 the faces^H6440 of the judges^H8199 thereof; if not, where^H0645, and who is he?

²⁵Now my days^H3117 are swifter^H7043 than a post^H7323: they flee away^H1272, they see^H7200 no good^H2896. ²⁶They are passed away^H2498 as^H5973 the swift^H0016 ships^H0591: as the eagle^H5404 that hasteth^H2907 to the prey^H0400. ²⁷If I say^H0559, I will forget^H7911 my complaint^H7879, I will leave off^H5800 my heaviness^H6440, and comfort^H1082 myself: ²⁸I am afraid^H3025 of all my sorrows^H6094, I know^H3045 that thou wilt not hold me innocent^H5352. ²⁹ If I be wicked^H7561, why then labour^H3021 I in vain^H1892? ³⁰If I wash^H7364 myself with^H7950 snow water^H4325, and make my hands^H3709 never^H1252 so clean^H2141; ³¹Yet^H0227 shalt thou plunge^H2881 me in the ditch^H7845, and mine own clothes^H8008 shall abhor^H8581 me. ³²For he is not a man^H0376, as I am, that I should answer^H6030 him, and we should come^H0935 together^H3162 in judgment^H4941. ³³Neither is^H3426 there any daysman^H3198 betwixt us, that might lay^H7896 his hand^H3027 upon us both^H8147. ³⁴Let him take^H5493 his rod^H7626 away^H5493 from me, and let not his fear^H0367 terrify^H1204 me: ³⁵ Then would I speak^H1696, and not fear^H3372 him; but it is not so with me.

Job: Chapter 10

¹My soul^H5315 is weary^H5354 of my life^H2416; I will leave^H5800 my complaint^H7879 upon myself; I will speak^H1696 in the bitterness^H4751 of my soul^H5315. ²I will say^H0559 unto God^H0433, Do not condemn^H7561 me; shew^H3045 me wherefore thou contendest^H7378 with me. ³ Is it good^H2895 unto thee that thou shouldest oppress^H6231, that thou shouldest despise^H3988 the work^H3018 of thine hands^H3709, and shine^H3313 upon the counsel^H6098 of the wicked^H7563? ⁴Hast thou eyes^H5869 of flesh^H1320? or seest^H7200 thou as man^H0582 seeth^H7200? ⁵ Are thy days^H3117 as the days^H3117 of man^H0582? are thy years^H8141 as mans^H1397 days^H3117, ⁶That thou enquirest^H1245 after mine iniquity^H5771, and searchest^H1875 after my sin^H2403? ⁷Thou knowest^H1847 that I am not wicked^H7561; and there is none that can deliver^H5337 out of thine hand^H3027.

⁸Thine hands^H3027 have made^H6087 me and fashioned^H6213 me together^H3162 round about^H5439; yet thou dost destroy^H1104 me. ⁹Remember^H2142, I beseech thee, that thou hast made^H6213 me as the clay^H2563; and wilt thou bring^H7725 me into dust^H6083 again^H7725? ¹⁰Hast thou not poured me out^H5413 as milk^H2461, and curdled^H7087 me like cheese^H1385? ¹¹Thou hast clothed^H3847 me with skin^H5785 and flesh^H1320, and hast fenced^H7753 me with bones^H6106 and sinews^H1517. ¹²Thou hast granted^H6213 me life^H2416 and favour^H2617, and thy visitation^H6486 hath preserved^H8104 my spirit^H7307. ¹³And these things hast thou hid^H6845 in thine heart^H3824: I know^H3045 that this is with thee.

¹⁴If I sin^H2398, then thou markest^H8104 me, and thou wilt not acquit^H5352 me from mine iniquity^H5771. ¹⁵If I be wicked^H7561, woe^H0480 unto me; and if I be righteous^H6663, yet will I not lift up^H5375 my head^H7218. I am full^H7649 of confusion^H7036; therefore see^H7202 thou mine affliction^H6040; ¹⁶For it increaseth^H1342. Thou huntest^H6679 me as a fierce lion^H7826: and again^H7725 thou shewest thyself marvellous^H6381 upon me. ¹⁷Thou renewest^H2318 thy witnesses^H5707 against me, and increasest^H7235 thine indignation^H3708 upon me^H5978; changes^H2487 and war^H6635 are against me. ¹⁸Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth^H3318 out of the womb^H7358?

¹Then answered^H6030 Zophar^H6691 the Naamathite^H5284, and said^H0559, ²Should not the multitude^H7230 of words^H1697 be answered^H6030? and should a man^H0376 full of talk^H8193 be justified^H6663? ³Should thy lies^H0907 make^H2790 men^H4962 hold their peace^H2790? and when thou mockest^H3932, shall no man make thee ashamed^H3637? ⁴For thou hast said^H0559, My doctrine^H3948 is pure^H2134, and I am clean^H1249 in thine eyes^H5869. ⁵But^H0199 oh that^H5414 God^H0433 would speak^H1696, and open^H6605 his lips^H8193 against thee; ⁶And that he would shew^H5046 thee the secrets^H8587 of wisdom^H2451, that they are double^H3718 to that which is^H8454!

⁷Canst thou by searching^H2714 find out^H4672 God^H0433? canst thou find^H4672 out the Almighty^H7706 unto perfection^H8503? ⁸ It is as high^H1363 as heaven^H8064; what canst thou do^H6466? deeper^H6013 than hell^H7585; what canst thou know^H3045? ⁹The measure^H4055 thereof is longer^H0752 than the earth^H0776, and broader^H7342 than the sea^H3220. ¹⁰If he cut off^H2498, and shut up^H5462, or gather together^H6950, then who can hinder^H7725 him? ¹¹For he knoweth^H3045 vain^H7723 men^H4962: he seeth^H7200 wickedness^H0205 also; will he not then consider^H0995 it ? ¹²For vain^H5014 man^H0376 would be wise^H3823, though man^H0120 be born^H3205 like a wild asss^H6501 colt^H5895.

¹³If thou prepare^H3559 thine heart^H3820, and stretch^H6566 out thine hands^H3709 toward him; ¹⁴If iniquity^H0205 be in thine hand^H3027, put it far away^H7368, and let not wickedness^H5766 dwell^H7931 in thy tabernacles^H0168. ¹⁵For then shalt thou lift up^H5375 thy face^H6440 without spot^H3971; yea, thou shalt be stedfast^H3332, and shalt not fear^H3372: ¹⁶Because thou shalt forget^H7911 thy misery^H5999, and remember^H2142 it as waters^H4325 that pass away^H5674: ¹⁷And thine age^H2465 shall be clearer^H6965 than the noonday^H6672; thou shalt shine forth^H5774, thou shalt be as the morning^H1242. ¹⁸And thou shalt be secure^H0982, because there is^H3426 hope^H8615; yea, thou shalt dig^H2658 about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest^H7901 in safety^H0983. ¹⁹Also thou shalt lie down^H7257, and none shall make thee afraid^H2729; yea, many^H7227 shall make suit^H2470 unto thee^H6440. ²⁰But the eyes^H5869 of the wicked^H7563 shall fail^H3615, and they shall not escape^H0006, and their hope^H8615 shall be as the giving up^H4646 of the ghost^H5315.

Job: Chapter 12

¹And Job^H0347 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, ²No doubt^H0551 but ye are the people^H5971, and wisdom^H2451 shall die^H4191 with you. ³But^H1571 I have understanding^H3824 as well as you; I am not inferior^H5307 to you: yea, who knoweth not such things^H3644 as these? ⁴I am as one mocked^H7814 of his neighbour^H7453, who calleth^H7121 upon God^H0433, and he answereth^H6030 him: the just^H6662 upright^H8549 man is laughed to scorn^H7814. ⁵He that is ready^H3559 to slip^H4571 with his feet^H7272 is as a lamp^H3940 despised^H0937 in the thought^H6248 of him that is at ease^H7600.

⁶The tabernacles^H0168 of robbers^H7703 prosper^H7951, and they that provoke^H7264 God^H0410 are secure^H0987; into whose hand^H3027 God^H0433 bringeth^H0935 abundantly . ⁷But^H0199 ask^H7592 now the beasts^H0929, and they shall teach^H3384 thee; and the fowls^H5775 of the air^H8064, and they shall tell^H5046 thee: ⁸Or speak^H7878 to the earth^H0776, and it shall teach^H3384 thee: and the fishes^H1709 of the sea^H3220 shall declare^H5608 unto thee. ⁹Who knoweth^H3045 not in all these that the hand^H3027 of the LORD^H3068 hath wrought^H6213 this? ¹⁰In whose hand^H3027 is the soul^H5315 of every living thing^H2416, and the breath^H7307 of all mankind^H0376. ¹¹Doth not the ear^H0241 try^H0974 words^H4405? and the mouth^H2441 taste^H2938 his meat^H0400?

¹²With the ancient^H3453 is wisdom^H2451; and in length^H0753 of days^H3117 understanding^H8394. ¹³With him is wisdom^H2451 and strength^H1369, he hath counsel^H6098 and understanding^H8394. ¹⁴Behold, he breaketh down^H2040, and it cannot be built again^H1129: he shutteth up^H5462 a man^H0376, and there can be no opening^H6605. ¹⁵Behold, he withholdeth^H6113 the waters^H4325, and they dry up^H3001: also he sendeth them out^H7971, and they overturn^H2015 the earth^H0776. ¹⁶With him is strength^H5797 and wisdom^H8454: the deceived^H7683 and the deceiver^H7686 are his. ¹⁷He leadeth^H3212 counsellors^H3289 away spoiled^H7758, and maketh the judges^H8199 fools^H1984. ¹⁸He looseth^H6605 the bond^H4148 of kings^H4428, and girdeth^H0631 their loins^H4975 with a girdle^H0232. ¹⁹He leadeth^H3212 princes^H3548 away spoiled^H7758, and overthroweth^H5557 the mighty^H0386. ²⁰He removeth away^H5493 the speech^H8193 of the trusty^H0539, and taketh away^H3947 the understanding^H2940 of the aged^H2205. ²¹He poureth^H8210 contempt^H0937 upon princes^H5081, and weakeneth^H7503 the strength^H4206 of the mighty^H0650. ²²He discovereth^H1540 deep things^H6013 out of darkness^H2822, and bringeth out^H3318 to light^H0216 the shadow of death^H6757. ²³He increaseth^H7679 the nations^H1471, and destroyeth^H0006 them: he enlargeth^H7849 the nations^H1471, and straiteneth^H5148 them again . ²⁴He taketh away^H5493 the heart^H3820 of the chief^H7218 of the people^H5971 of the earth^H0776, and causeth them to wander^H8582 in a wilderness^H8414 where there is no way^H1870. ²⁵They grope^H4959 in the dark^H2822 without light^H0216, and he maketh them to stagger^H8582 like a drunken^H7910 man .

Job: Chapter 13

¹Lo, mine eye^H5869 hath seen^H7200 all this , mine ear^H0241 hath heard^H8085 and understood^H0995 it. ²What ye know^H1847, the same do I know^H3045 also: I am not inferior^H5307 unto you. ³Surely^H0199 I would speak^H1696 to the Almighty^H7706, and I desire^H2654 to reason^H3198 with God^H0410. ⁴But^H0199 ye are forgers^H2950 of lies^H8267, ye are all physicians^H7495 of no value^H0457. ⁵O that^H5414 ye would altogether^H2790 hold your peace^H2790! and it should be your wisdom^H2451. ⁶Hear^H8085 now my reasoning^H8433, and hearken^H7181 to the pleadings^H7379 of my lips^H8193. ⁷Will ye speak^H1696 wickedly^H5766 for God^H0410? and talk^H1696 deceitfully^H7423 for him? ⁸Will ye accept^H5375 his person^H6440? will ye contend^H7378 for God^H0410? ⁹Is it good^H2895 that he should search you out^H2713? or as one man^H0582 mocketh^H2048 another, do ye so mock^H2048 him? ¹⁰He will surely^H3198 reprove^H3198 you, if ye do secretly^H5643 accept^H5375 persons^H6440. ¹¹Shall not his excellency^H7613 make you afraid^H1204? and his dread^H6343 fall^H5307 upon you? ¹²Your remembrances^H2146 are like^H4912 unto ashes^H0665, your bodies^H1354 to bodies^H1354 of clay^H2563.

¹³Hold your peace^H2790, let me alone, that I may speak^H1696, and let come^H5674 on me what will . ¹⁴Wherefore do I take^H5375 my flesh^H1320 in my teeth^H8127, and put^H7760 my life^H5315 in mine hand^H3709? ¹⁵Though^H2005 he slay^H6991 me, yet will I trust^H3176 in him: but I will maintain^H3198 mine own ways^H1870 before^H6440 him. ¹⁶He also shall be my salvation^H3444: for an hypocrite^H2611 shall not come^H0935 before^H6440 him. ¹⁷Hear^H8085 diligently^H8085 my speech^H4405, and my declaration^H0262 with your ears^H0241. ¹⁸Behold now, I have ordered^H6186 my cause^H4941; I know^H3045 that I shall be justified^H6663. ¹⁹Who is he that will plead^H7378 with me? for now, if I hold my tongue^H2790, I shall give up the ghost^H1478. ²⁰Only do^H6213 not two^H8147 things unto me: then will I not hide^H5641 myself from thee^H6440. ²¹Withdraw^H7368 thine hand^H3709 far^H7368 from me: and let not thy dread^H0367 make me afraid^H1204. ²²Then call^H7121 thou, and I will answer^H6030: or let me speak^H1696, and answer^H7725 thou me.

²³How many are mine iniquities^H5771 and sins^H2403? make me to know^H3045 my transgression^H6588 and my sin^H2403. ²⁴Wherefore hidest^H5641 thou thy face^H6440, and holdest^H2803 me for thine enemy^H0341? ²⁵Wilt thou break^H6206 a leaf^H5929 driven to and fro^H5086? and wilt thou pursue^H7291 the dry^H3002 stubble^H7179? ²⁶For thou writest^H3789 bitter things^H4846 against me, and makest me to possess^H3423 the iniquities^H5771 of my youth^H5271. ²⁷Thou puttest^H7760 my feet^H7272 also in the stocks^H5465, and lookest narrowly^H8104 unto all my paths^H0734; thou settest a print^H2707 upon the heels^H8328 of my feet^H7272. ²⁸And he, as a rotten thing^H7538, consumeth^H1086, as a garment^H0899 that is moth^H6211 eaten^H0398.

Job: Chapter 14

¹Man^H0120 that is born^H3205 of a woman^H0802 is of few^H7116 days^H3117, and full^H7649 of trouble^H7267. ²He cometh forth^H3318 like a flower^H6731, and is cut down^H5243: he fleeth^H1272 also as a shadow^H6738, and continueth^H5975 not. ³And dost thou open^H6491 thine eyes^H5869 upon such an one^H2088, and bringest^H0935 me into judgment^H4941 with thee? ⁴Who can bring^H5414 a clean^H2889 thing out of an unclean^H2931? not one^H0259. ⁵Seeing^H0518 his days^H3117 are determined^H2782, the number^H4557 of his months^H2320 are with thee, thou hast appointed^H6213 his bounds^H2706 that he cannot pass^H5674; ⁶Turn^H8159 from him, that he may rest^H2308, till he shall accomplish^H7521, as an hireling^H7916, his day^H3117.

⁷For there is^H3426 hope^H8615 of a tree^H6086, if it be cut down^H3772, that it will sprout again^H2498, and that the tender branch^H3127 thereof will not cease^H2308. ⁸Though the root^H8328 thereof wax old^H2204 in the earth^H0776, and the stock^H1503 thereof die^H4191 in the ground^H6083; ⁹ Yet through the scent^H7381 of water^H4325 it will bud^H6524, and bring forth^H6213 boughs^H7105 like a plant^H5194. ¹⁰But man^H1397 dieth^H4191, and wasteth away^H2522: yea, man^H0120 giveth up the ghost^H1478, and where is he? ¹¹ As the waters^H4325 fail^H0235 from the sea^H3220, and the flood^H5104 decayeth^H2717 and drieth up^H3001: ¹²So man^H0376 lieth down^H7901, and riseth^H6965 not: till the heavens^H8064 be no more^H1115, they shall not awake^H6974, nor be raised out^H5782 of their sleep^H8142. ¹³O that^H5414 thou wouldest hide^H6845 me in the grave^H7585, that thou wouldest keep me secret^H5641, until thy wrath^H0639 be past^H7725, that thou wouldest appoint^H7896 me a set time^H2706, and remember^H2142 me! ¹⁴If a man^H1397 die^H4191, shall he live^H2421 again ? all the days^H3117 of my appointed time^H6635 will I wait^H3176, till my change^H2487 come^H0935. ¹⁵Thou shalt call^H7121, and I will answer^H6030 thee: thou wilt have a desire^H3700 to the work^H4639 of thine hands^H3027.

¹⁶For now thou numberest^H5608 my steps^H6806: dost thou not watch^H8104 over my sin^H2403? ¹⁷My transgression^H6588 is sealed up^H2856 in a bag^H6872, and thou sewest up^H2950 mine iniquity^H5771. ¹⁸And surely^H0199 the mountain^H2022 falling^H5307 cometh to nought^H5034, and the rock^H6697 is removed^H6275 out of his place^H4725. ¹⁹The waters^H4325 wear^H7833 the stones^H0068: thou washest away^H7857 the things which grow^H5599 out of the dust^H6083 of the earth^H0776; and thou destroyest^H0006 the hope^H8615 of man^H0582. ²⁰Thou prevailest^H8630 for ever^H5331 against him, and he passeth^H1980: thou changest^H8138 his countenance^H6440, and sendest him away^H7971. ²¹His sons^H1121 come to honour^H3513, and he knoweth^H3045 it not; and they are brought low^H6819, but he perceiveth^H0995 it not of them. ²²But his flesh^H1320 upon him shall have pain^H3510, and his soul^H5315 within him shall mourn^H0056.

¹Then answered^H6030 Eliphaz^H0464 the Temanite^H8489, and said^H0559, ²Should a wise man^H2450 utter^H6030 vain^H7307 knowledge^H1847, and fill^H4390 his belly^H0990 with the east wind^H6921? ³Should he reason^H3198 with unprofitable^H5532 talk^H1697? or with speeches^H4405 wherewith he can do no good^H3276? ⁴Yea, thou castest off^H6565 fear^H3374, and restrainest^H1639 prayer^H7881 before^H6440 God^H0410. ⁵For thy mouth^H6310 uttereth^H0502 thine iniquity^H5771, and thou choosest^H0977 the tongue^H3956 of the crafty^H6175. ⁶Thine own mouth^H6310 condemneth^H7561 thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips^H8193 testify^H6030 against thee. ⁷ Art thou the first^H7223 man^H0120 that was born^H3205? or wast thou made^H2342 before^H6440 the hills^H1389? ⁸Hast thou heard^H8085 the secret^H5475 of God^H0433? and dost thou restrain^H1639 wisdom^H2451 to thyself? ⁹What knowest^H3045 thou, that we know^H3045 not? what understandest^H0995 thou, which is not in us? ¹⁰With us are both the grayheaded^H7867 and very aged^H3453 men, much^H3524 elder^H3117 than thy father^H0001. ¹¹ Are the consolations^H8575 of God^H0410 small^H4592 with thee? is there any secret^H0328 thing^H1697 with thee? ¹²Why doth thine heart^H3820 carry thee away^H3947? and what do thy eyes^H5869 wink at^H7335, ¹³That thou turnest^H7725 thy spirit^H7307 against God^H0410, and lettest such words^H4405 go out^H3318 of thy mouth^H6310? ¹⁴What is man^H0582, that he should be clean^H2135? and he which is born^H3205 of a woman^H0802, that he should be righteous^H6663? ¹⁵Behold, he putteth no trust^H0539 in his saints^H6918; yea, the heavens^H8064 are not clean^H2141 in his sight^H5869. ¹⁶How much more abominable^H8581 and filthy^H0444 is man^H0376, which drinketh^H8354 iniquity^H5766 like water^H4325?

¹⁷I will shew^H2331 thee, hear^H8085 me; and that which I have seen^H2372 I will declare^H5608; ¹⁸Which wise^H2450 men have told^H5046 from their fathers^H0001, and have not hid^H3582 it: ¹⁹Unto whom alone the earth^H0776 was given^H5414, and no stranger^H2114 passed^H5674 among^H8432 them. ²⁰The wicked^H7563 man travaileth^H2342 with pain all his days^H3117, and the number^H4557 of years^H8141 is hidden^H6845 to the oppressor^H6184. ²¹A dreadful^H6343 sound^H6963 is in his ears^H0241: in prosperity^H7965 the destroyer^H7703 shall come^H0935 upon him. ²²He believeth^H0539 not that he shall return^H7725 out of darkness^H2822, and he is waited^H6822 for of the sword^H2719. ²³He wandereth abroad^H5074 for bread^H3899, saying , Where is it ? he knoweth^H3045 that the day^H3117 of darkness^H2822 is ready^H3559 at his hand^H3027. ²⁴Trouble^H6862 and anguish^H4691 shall make him afraid^H1204; they shall prevail^H8630 against him, as a king^H4428 ready^H6264 to the battle^H3593. ²⁵For he stretcheth out^H5186 his hand^H3027 against God^H0410, and strengtheneth^H1396 himself against the Almighty^H7706. ²⁶He runneth^H7323 upon him, even on his neck^H6677, upon the thick^H5672 bosses^H1354 of his bucklers^H4043: ²⁷Because he covereth^H3680 his face^H6440 with his fatness^H2459, and maketh^H6213 collops of fat^H6371 on his flanks^H3689. ²⁸And he dwelleth^H7931 in desolate^H3582 cities^H5892, and in houses^H1004 which no man inhabiteth^H3427, which are ready^H6257 to become heaps^H1530. ²⁹He shall not be rich^H6238, neither shall his substance^H2428 continue^H6965, neither shall he prolong^H5186 the perfection^H4512 thereof upon the earth^H0776. ³⁰He shall not depart^H5493 out of darkness^H2822; the flame^H7957 shall dry up^H3001 his branches^H3127, and by the breath^H7307 of his mouth^H6310 shall he go away^H5493. ³¹Let not him that is deceived^H8582 trust^H0539 in vanity^H7723: for vanity^H7723 shall be his recompence^H8545. ³²It shall be accomplished^H4390 before^H3808 his time^H3117, and his branch^H3712 shall not be green^H7488. ³³He shall shake off^H2554 his unripe grape^H1154 as the vine^H1612, and shall cast off^H7993 his flower^H5328 as the olive^H2132. ³⁴For the congregation^H5712 of hypocrites^H2611 shall be desolate^H1565, and fire^H0784 shall consume^H0398 the tabernacles^H0168 of bribery^H7810. ³⁵They conceive^H2029 mischief^H5999, and bring forth^H3205 vanity^H0205, and their belly^H0990 prepareth^H3559 deceit^H4820.

⁶Though I speak^H1696, my grief^H3511 is not asswaged^H2820: and though I forbear^H2308, what am I eased^H1980? ⁷But now he hath made me weary^H3811: thou hast made desolate^H8074 all my company^H5712. ⁸And thou hast filled me with wrinkles^H7059, which is a witness^H5707 against me: and my leanness^H3585 rising up^H6965 in me beareth witness^H6030 to my face^H6440. ⁹He teareth^H2963 me in his wrath^H0639, who hateth^H7852 me: he gnasheth^H2786 upon me with his teeth^H8127; mine enemy^H6862 sharpeneth^H3913 his eyes^H5869 upon me. ¹⁰They have gaped^H6473 upon me with their mouth^H6310; they have smitten^H5221 me upon the cheek^H3895 reproachfully^H2781; they have gathered^H4390 themselves together^H3162 against me. ¹¹God^H0410 hath delivered^H5462 me to the ungodly^H5760, and turned me over^H3399 into the hands^H3027 of the wicked^H7563. ¹²I was at ease^H7961, but he hath broken me asunder^H6565: he hath also taken^H0270 me by my neck^H6203, and shaken me to pieces^H6327, and set me up^H6965 for his mark^H4307. ¹³His archers^H7228 compass me round about^H5437, he cleaveth^H6398 my reins^H3629 asunder^H6398, and doth not spare^H2550; he poureth out^H8210 my gall^H4845 upon the ground^H0776. ¹⁴He breaketh^H6555 me with breach^H6556 upon^H6440 breach^H6556, he runneth^H7323 upon me like a giant^H1368. ¹⁵I have sewed^H8609 sackcloth^H8242 upon my skin^H1539, and defiled^H5953 my horn^H7161 in the dust^H6083. ¹⁶My face^H6440 is foul^H2560 with weeping^H1065, and on my eyelids^H6079 is the shadow of death^H6757;

¹⁷Not for any injustice^H2555 in mine hands^H3709: also my prayer^H8605 is pure^H2134. ¹⁸O earth^H0776, cover^H3680 not thou my blood^H1818, and let my cry^H2201 have no place^H4725. ¹⁹Also now, behold, my witness^H5707 is in heaven^H8064, and my record^H7717 is on high^H4791. ²⁰My friends^H7453 scorn^H3887 me: but mine eye^H5869 poureth out^H1811 tears unto God^H0433. ²¹O that one might plead^H3198 for a man^H1397 with God^H0433, as a man^H0120 pleadeth for his neighbour^H1121! ²²When a few^H4557 years^H8141 are come^H0857, then I shall go^H1980 the way^H0734 whence I shall not return^H7725.

Job: Chapter 17

¹My breath^H7307 is corrupt^H2254, my days^H3117 are extinct^H2193, the graves^H6913 are ready for me. ² Are there not mockers^H2049 with me? and doth not mine eye^H5869 continue^H3885 in their provocation^H4784? ³Lay down^H7760 now, put me in a surety^H6148 with thee; who is he that will strike^H8628 hands^H3027 with me? ⁴For thou hast hid^H6845 their heart^H3820 from understanding^H7922: therefore shalt thou not exalt^H7311 them . ⁵He that speaketh^H5046 flattery^H2506 to his friends^H7453, even the eyes^H5869 of his children^H1121 shall fail^H3615. ⁶He hath made^H3322 me also a byword^H4914 of the people^H5971; and aforetime^H6440 I was as a tabret^H8611. ⁷Mine eye^H5869 also is dim^H3543 by reason of sorrow^H3708, and all my members^H3338 are as a shadow^H6738. ⁸Upright^H3477 men shall be astonied^H8074 at this, and the innocent^H5355 shall stir up^H5782 himself against the hypocrite^H2611. ⁹The righteous^H6662 also shall hold^H0270 on his way^H1870, and he that hath clean^H2890 hands^H3027 shall be^H3254 stronger and stronger^H0555.

¹⁰But^H0199 as for you all, do ye return^H7725, and come now^H0935: for I cannot find^H4672 one wise^H2450 man among you. ¹¹My days^H3117 are past^H5674, my purposes^H2154 are broken off^H5423, even the thoughts^H4180 of my heart^H3824. ¹²They change^H7760 the night^H3915 into day^H3117: the light^H0216 is short^H7138 because^H6440 of darkness^H2822. ¹³If I wait^H6960, the grave^H7585 is mine house^H1004: I have made^H7502 my bed^H3326 in the darkness^H2822. ¹⁴I have said^H7121 to corruption^H7845, Thou art my father^H0001: to the worm^H7415, Thou art my mother^H0517, and my sister^H0269. ¹⁵And where is now^H0645 my hope^H8615? as for my hope^H8615, who shall see^H7789 it? ¹⁶They shall go down^H3381 to the bars^H0905 of the pit^H7585, when our rest^H5183 together^H3162 is in the dust^H6083.

Job: Chapter 18

¹Then answered^H6030 Bildad^H1085 the Shuhite^H7747, and said^H0559, ²How long^H5704 will it be ere ye make^H7760 an end^H7078 of words^H4405? mark^H0995, and afterwards^H0310 we will speak^H1696. ³Wherefore are we counted^H2803 as beasts^H0929, and reputed vile^H2933 in your sight^H5869? ⁴He teareth^H2963 himself^H5315 in his anger^H0639: shall the earth^H0776 be forsaken^H5800 for thee? and shall the rock^H6697 be removed^H6275 out of his place^H4725?

⁵Yea, the light^H0216 of the wicked^H7563 shall be put out^H1846, and the spark^H7632 of his fire^H0784 shall not shine^H5050. ⁶The light^H0216 shall be dark^H2821 in his tabernacle^H0168, and his candle^H5216 shall be put out^H1846 with him. ⁷The steps^H6806 of his strength^H0202 shall be straitened^H3334, and his own counsel^H6098 shall cast him down^H7993. ⁸For he is cast^H7971 into a net^H7568 by his own feet^H7272, and he walketh^H1980 upon a snare^H7639. ⁹The gin^H6341 shall take^H0270 him by the heel^H6119, and the robber^H6782 shall prevail^H2388 against him. ¹⁰The snare^H2256 is laid^H2934 for him in the ground^H0776, and a trap^H4434 for him in the way^H5410.

¹¹Terrors^H1091 shall make him afraid^H1204 on every side^H5439, and shall drive^H6327 him to his feet^H7272. ¹²His strength^H0202 shall be hungerbitten^H7457, and destruction^H0343 shall be ready^H3559 at his side^H6763. ¹³It shall devour^H0398 the strength^H0905 of his skin^H5785: even the firstborn^H1060 of death^H4194 shall devour^H0398 his strength^H0905. ¹⁴His confidence^H4009 shall be rooted out^H5423 of his tabernacle^H0168, and it shall bring^H6805 him to the king^H4428 of terrors^H1091. ¹⁵It shall dwell^H7931 in his tabernacle^H0168, because it is none^H1097 of his: brimstone^H1614 shall be scattered^H2219 upon his habitation^H5116. ¹⁶His roots^H8328 shall be dried up^H3001 beneath, and above^H4605 shall his branch^H7105 be cut off^H5243. ¹⁷His remembrance^H2143 shall perish^H0006 from the earth^H0776, and he shall have no name^H8034 in the street^H6440. ¹⁸He shall be driven^H1920 from light^H0216 into darkness^H2822, and chased^H5074 out of the world^H8398. ¹⁹He shall neither have son^H5209 nor nephew^H5220 among his people^H5971, nor any remaining^H8300 in his dwellings^H4033. ²⁰They that come after^H0314 him shall be astonied^H8074 at his day^H3117, as they that went before^H6931 were affrighted^H0270. ²¹Surely such are the dwellings^H4908 of the wicked^H5767, and this is the place^H4725 of him that knoweth^H3045 not God^H0410.

Job: Chapter 19

¹Then Job^H0347 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, ²How long will ye vex^H3013 my soul^H5315, and break^H1792 me in pieces with words^H4405? ³These ten^H6235 times^H6471 have ye reproached^H3637 me: ye are not ashamed^H0954 that ye make yourselves strange^H1970 to me. ⁴And be it indeed^H0551 that I have erred^H7686, mine error^H4879 remaineth^H3885 with myself. ⁵If indeed^H0551 ye will magnify^H1431 yourselves against me, and plead^H3198 against me my reproach^H2781: ⁶Know^H3045 now^H0645 that God^H0433 hath overthrown^H5791 me, and hath compassed^H5362 me with his net^H4686. ⁷Behold, I cry out^H6817 of wrong^H2555, but I am not heard^H6030: I cry aloud^H7768, but there is no judgment^H4941.

⁸He hath fenced up^H1443 my way^H0734 that I cannot pass^H5674, and he hath set^H7760 darkness^H2822 in my paths^H5410. ⁹He hath stripped^H6584 me of my glory^H3519, and taken^H5493 the crown^H5850 from my head^H7218. ¹⁰He hath destroyed^H5422 me on every side^H5439, and I am gone^H3212: and mine hope^H8615 hath he removed^H5265 like a tree^H6086. ¹¹He hath also kindled^H2734 his wrath^H0639 against me, and he counteth^H2803 me unto him as one of his enemies^H6862. ¹²His troops^H1416 come^H0935 together^H3162, and raise up^H5549 their way^H1870 against me, and encamp^H2583 round about^H5439 my tabernacle^H0168. ¹³He hath put^H7368 my brethren^H0251 far^H7368 from me, and mine acquaintance^H3045 are verily estranged^H2114 from me. ¹⁴My kinsfolk^H7138 have failed^H2308, and my familiar friends^H3045 have forgotten^H7911 me. ¹⁵They that dwell^H1481 in mine house^H1004, and my maids^H0519, count^H2803 me for a stranger^H2114: I am an alien^H5237 in their sight^H5869. ¹⁶I called^H7121 my servant^H5650, and he gave me no answer^H6030; I intreated^H2603 him with^H1119 my mouth^H6310. ¹⁷My breath^H7307 is strange^H2114 to my wife^H0802, though I intreated^H2589 for the childrens^H1121 sake of mine own body^H0990. ¹⁸Yea, young children^H5759 despised^H3988 me; I arose^H6965, and they spake^H1696 against me. ¹⁹All my inward^H5475 friends^H4962 abhorred^H8581 me: and they whom I loved^H0157 are turned^H2015 against me. ²⁰My bone^H6106 cleaveth^H1692 to my skin^H5785 and to my flesh^H1320, and I am escaped^H4422 with the skin^H5785 of my teeth^H8127. ²¹Have pity^H2603 upon me, have pity^H2603 upon me, O ye my friends^H7453; for the hand^H3027 of God^H0433 hath touched^H5060 me. ²²Why do ye persecute^H7291 me as God^H0410, and are not satisfied^H7646 with my flesh^H1320?

²³Oh that^H5414 my words^H4405 were now^H0645 written^H3789! oh that^H5414 they were printed^H2710 in a book^H5612! ²⁴That they were graven^H2672 with an iron^H1270 pen^H5842 and lead^H5777 in the rock^H6697 for ever^H5703! ²⁵For I know^H3045 that my redeemer^H1350 liveth^H2416, and that he shall stand^H6965 at the latter^H0314 day upon the earth^H6083: ²⁶And though after^H0310 my skin^H5785 worms destroy^H5362 this body , yet in my flesh^H1320 shall I see^H2372 God^H0433: ²⁷Whom I shall see^H2372 for myself, and mine eyes^H5869 shall behold^H7200, and not another^H2114; though my reins^H3629 be consumed^H3615 within^H2436 me. ²⁸But ye should say^H0559, Why persecute^H7291 we him, seeing the root^H8328 of the matter^H1697 is found^H4672 in me? ²⁹Be ye afraid^H1481 of the sword^H2719: for wrath^H2534 bringeth the punishments^H5771 of^H6440 the sword^H2719, that ye may know^H3045 there is a judgment^H1779.

Job: Chapter 20

¹Then answered^H6030 Zophar^H6691 the Naamathite^H5284, and said^H0559, ²Therefore do my thoughts^H5587 cause me to answer^H7725, and for this I make haste^H2363. ³I have heard^H8085 the check^H4148 of my reproach^H3639, and the spirit^H7307 of my understanding^H0998 causeth me to answer^H6030. ⁴Knowest^H3045 thou not this of old^H5703, since man^H0120 was placed^H7760 upon earth^H0776, ⁵That the triumphing^H7445 of the wicked^H7563 is short^H7138, and the joy^H8057 of the hypocrite^H2611 but for a moment^H7281? ⁶Though his excellency^H7863 mount up^H5927 to the heavens^H8064, and his head^H7218 reach^H5060 unto the clouds^H5645; ⁷ Yet he shall perish^H0006 for ever^H5331 like his own dung^H1561: they which have seen^H7200 him shall say^H0559, Where^H0335 is he? ⁸He shall fly away^H5774 as a dream^H2472, and shall not be found^H4672: yea, he shall be chased away^H5074 as a vision^H2384 of the night^H3915. ⁹The eye^H5869 also which saw^H7805 him shall see him no more^H3254; neither shall his place^H4725 any more behold^H7789 him.

¹⁰His children^H1121 shall seek to please^H7521 the poor^H1800, and his hands^H3027 shall restore^H7725 their goods^H0202. ¹¹His bones^H6106 are full^H4390 of the sin of his youth^H5934, which shall lie down^H7901 with him in the dust^H6083. ¹²Though wickedness^H7451 be sweet^H4985 in his mouth^H6310, though he hide^H3582 it under his tongue^H3956; ¹³ Though he spare^H2550 it, and forsake^H5800 it not; but keep it still^H4513 within^H8432 his mouth^H2441: ¹⁴ Yet his meat^H3899 in his bowels^H4578 is turned^H2015, it is the gall^H4846 of asps^H6620 within^H7130 him. ¹⁵He hath swallowed down^H1104 riches^H2428, and he shall vomit them up again^H6958: God^H0410 shall cast them out^H3423 of his belly^H0990. ¹⁶He shall suck^H3243 the poison^H7219 of asps^H6620: the vipers^H0660 tongue^H3956 shall slay^H2026 him. ¹⁷He shall not see^H7200 the rivers^H6390, the floods^H5104, the brooks^H5158 of honey^H1706 and butter^H2529. ¹⁸That which he laboured^H3022 for shall he restore^H7725, and shall not swallow his);"> it down^H1104: according to his);"> his substance^H2428 his);"> shall the restitution^H8545 his);"> be , and he shall not rejoice^H5965 his);"> therein . ¹⁹Because he hath oppressed^H7533 and hath forsaken^H5800 the poor^H1800; because he hath violently taken away^H1497 an house^H1004 which he builded^H1129 not; ²⁰Surely he shall not feel^H3045 quietness^H7961 in his belly^H0990, he shall not save^H4422 of that which he desired^H2530. ²¹There shall none of his meat^H0400 be left^H8300; therefore shall no man look^H2342 for his goods^H2898. ²²In the fulness^H4390 of his sufficiency^H5607 he shall be in straits^H3334: every hand^H3027 of the wicked^H6001 shall come^H0935 upon him.

²³ When he is about to fill^H4390 his belly^H0990, God shall cast^H7971 the fury^H2740 of his wrath^H0639 upon him, and shall rain^H4305 it upon him while he is eating^H3894. ²⁴He shall flee^H1272 from the iron^H1270 weapon^H5402, and the bow^H7198 of steel^H5154 shall strike him through^H2498. ²⁵It is drawn^H8025, and cometh out^H3318 of the body^H1465; yea, the glittering sword^H1300 cometh out^H1980 of his gall^H4846: terrors^H0367 are upon him. ²⁶All darkness^H2822 shall be hid^H2934 in his secret places^H6845: a fire^H0784 not blown^H5301 shall consume^H0398 him; it shall go ill^H3415 with him that is left^H8300 in his tabernacle^H0168. ²⁷The heaven^H8064 shall reveal^H1540 his iniquity^H5771; and the earth^H0776 shall rise up^H6965 against him. ²⁸The increase^H2981 of his house^H1004 shall depart^H1540, and his goods shall flow away^H5064 in the day^H3117 of his wrath^H0639. ²⁹This is the portion^H2506 of a wicked^H7563 man^H0120 from God^H0430, and the heritage^H5159 appointed^H0561 unto him by God^H0410.

Job: Chapter 21

¹But Job^H0347 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, ²Hear^H8085 diligently^H8085 my speech^H4405, and let this be your consolations^H8575. ³Suffer^H5375 me that I may speak^H1696; and after^H0310 that I have spoken^H1696, mock on^H3932. ⁴As for me, is my complaint^H7879 to man^H0120? and if it were so , why should not my spirit^H7307 be troubled^H7114? ⁵Mark^H6437 me, and be astonished^H8074, and lay^H7760 your hand^H3027 upon your mouth^H6310. ⁶Even when I remember^H2142 I am afraid^H0926, and trembling^H6427 taketh hold on^H0270 my flesh^H1320.

⁷Wherefore do the wicked^H7563 live^H2421, become old^H6275, yea, are mighty^H1396 in power^H2428? ⁸Their seed^H2233 is established^H3559 in their sight^H6440 with them, and their offspring^H6631 before their eyes^H5869. ⁹Their houses^H1004 are safe^H7965 from fear^H6343, neither is the rod^H7626 of God^H0433 upon them. ¹⁰Their bull^H7794 gendereth^H5674, and faileth^H1602 not; their cow^H6510 calveth^H6403, and casteth not her calf^H7921. ¹¹They send forth^H7971 their little ones^H5759 like a flock^H6629, and their children^H3206 dance^H7540. ¹²They take^H5375 the timbrel^H8596 and harp^H3658, and rejoice^H8055 at the sound^H6963 of the organ^H5748. ¹³They spend^H3615 their days^H3117 in wealth^H2896, and in a moment^H7281 go down^H2865 to the grave^H7585. ¹⁴Therefore they say^H0559 unto God^H0410, Depart^H5493 from us; for we desire^H2654 not the knowledge^H1847 of thy ways^H1870. ¹⁵What is the Almighty^H7706, that we should serve^H5647 him? and what profit^H3276 should we have, if we pray^H6293 unto him? ¹⁶Lo, their good^H2898 is not in their hand^H3027: the counsel^H6098 of the wicked^H7563 is far^H7368 from me.

¹⁷How oft is the candle^H5216 of the wicked^H7563 put out^H1846! and how oft cometh^H0935 their destruction^H0343 upon them! God distributeth^H2505 sorrows^H2256 in his anger^H0639. ¹⁸They are as stubble^H8401 before^H6440 the wind^H7307, and as chaff^H4671 that the storm^H5492 carrieth away^H1589. ¹⁹God^H0433 layeth up^H6845 his iniquity^H0205 for his children^H1121: he rewardeth^H7999 him, and he shall know^H3045 it . ²⁰His eyes^H5869 shall see^H7200 his destruction^H3589, and he shall drink^H8354 of the wrath^H2534 of the Almighty^H7706. ²¹For what pleasure^H2656 hath he in his house^H1004 after^H0310 him, when the number^H4557 of his months^H2320 is cut off in the midst^H2686? ²²Shall any teach^H3925 God^H0410 knowledge^H1847? seeing he judgeth^H8199 those that are high^H7311. ²³One dieth^H4191 in his full^H8537 strength^H6106, being wholly at ease^H7946 and quiet^H7961. ²⁴His breasts^H5845 are full^H4390 of milk^H2461, and his bones^H6106 are moistened^H8248 with marrow^H4221. ²⁵And another dieth^H4191 in the bitterness^H4751 of his soul^H5315, and never eateth^H0398 with pleasure^H2896. ²⁶They shall lie down^H7901 alike^H3162 in the dust^H6083, and the worms^H7415 shall cover^H3680 them.

²⁷Behold, I know^H3045 your thoughts^H4284, and the devices^H4209 which ye wrongfully imagine^H2554 against me. ²⁸For ye say^H0559, Where is the house^H1004 of the prince^H5081? and where are the dwelling^H4908 places^H0168 of the wicked^H7563? ²⁹Have ye not asked^H7592 them that go^H5674 by the way^H1870? and do ye not know^H5234 their tokens^H0226, ³⁰That the wicked^H7451 is reserved^H2820 to the day^H3117 of destruction^H0343? they shall be brought forth^H2986 to the day^H3117 of wrath^H5678. ³¹Who shall declare^H5046 his way^H1870 to his face^H6440? and who shall repay^H7999 him what he hath done^H6213? ³²Yet shall he be brought^H2986 to the grave^H6913, and shall remain^H8245 in the tomb^H1430. ³³The clods^H7263 of the valley^H5158 shall be sweet^H4985 unto him, and every man^H0120 shall draw^H4900 after^H0310 him, as there are innumerable^H4557 before^H6440 him. ³⁴How then comfort^H5162 ye me in vain^H1892, seeing in your answers^H8666 there remaineth^H7604 falsehood^H4604?

Job: Chapter 22

¹Then Eliphaz^H0464 the Temanite^H8489 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, ²Can a man^H1397 be profitable^H5532 unto God^H0410, as^H3588 he that is wise^H7919 may be profitable^H5532 unto himself? ³ Is it any pleasure^H2656 to the Almighty^H7706, that thou art righteous^H6663? or is it gain^H1215 to him , that thou makest thy ways^H1870 perfect^H8552? ⁴Will he reprove^H3198 thee for fear^H3374 of thee? will he enter^H0935 with thee into judgment^H4941?

⁵ Is not thy wickedness^H7451 great^H7227? and thine iniquities^H5771 infinite^H7093? ⁶For thou hast taken a pledge^H2254 from thy brother^H0251 for nought^H2600, and stripped^H6584 the naked^H6174 of their clothing^H0899. ⁷Thou hast not given water^H4325 to the weary^H5889 to drink^H8248, and thou hast withholden^H4513 bread^H3899 from the hungry^H7457. ⁸But as for the mighty^H2220 man^H0376, he had the earth^H0776; and the honourable man^H5375 dwelt^H3427 in it. ⁹Thou hast sent^H7971 widows^H0490 away empty^H7387, and the arms^H2220 of the fatherless^H3490 have been broken^H1792. ¹⁰Therefore snares^H6341 are round about^H5439 thee, and sudden^H6597 fear^H6343 troubleth^H0926 thee; ¹¹Or darkness^H2822, that thou canst not see^H7200; and abundance^H8229 of waters^H4325 cover^H3680 thee. ¹² Is not God^H0433 in the height^H1363 of heaven^H8064? and behold^H7200 the height^H7218 of the stars^H3556, how high^H7311 they are! ¹³And thou sayest^H0559, How doth God^H0410 know^H3045? can he judge^H8199 through the dark cloud^H6205? ¹⁴Thick clouds^H5645 are a covering^H5643 to him, that he seeth^H7200 not; and he walketh^H1980 in the circuit^H2329 of heaven^H8064.

¹⁵Hast thou marked^H8104 the old^H5769 way^H0734 which wicked^H0205 men^H4962 have trodden^H1869? ¹⁶Which were cut down^H7059 out of time^H6256, whose foundation^H3247 was overflown^H3332 with a flood^H5104: ¹⁷Which said^H0559 unto God^H0410, Depart^H5493 from us: and what can the Almighty^H7706 do^H6466 for them? ¹⁸Yet he filled^H4390 their houses^H1004 with good^H2896 things: but the counsel^H6098 of the wicked^H7563 is far^H7368 from me. ¹⁹The righteous^H6662 see^H7200 it , and are glad^H8055: and the innocent^H5355 laugh them to scorn^H3932. ²⁰Whereas^H0518 our substance^H7009 is not cut down^H3582, but the remnant^H3499 of them the fire^H0784 consumeth^H0398.

²¹Acquaint^H5532 now thyself with him, and be at peace^H7999: thereby good^H2896 shall come^H0935 unto thee. ²²Receive^H3947, I pray thee, the law^H8451 from his mouth^H6310, and lay up^H7760 his words^H0561 in thine heart^H3824. ²³If thou return^H7725 to the Almighty^H7706, thou shalt be built up^H1129, thou shalt put away^H7368 iniquity^H5766 far^H7368 from thy tabernacles^H0168. ²⁴Then shalt thou lay up^H7896 gold^H1220 as^H5921 dust^H6083, and the gold of Ophir^H0211 as the stones^H6697 of the brooks^H5158. ²⁵Yea, the Almighty^H7706 shall be thy defence^H1220, and thou shalt have plenty^H8443 of silver^H3701. ²⁶For then shalt thou have thy delight^H6026 in the Almighty^H7706, and shalt lift up^H5375 thy face^H6440 unto God^H0433. ²⁷Thou shalt make thy prayer^H6279 unto him, and he shall hear^H8085 thee, and thou shalt pay^H7999 thy vows^H5088. ²⁸Thou shalt also decree^H1504 a thing^H0562, and it shall be established^H6965 unto thee: and the light^H0216 shall shine^H5050 upon thy ways^H1870. ²⁹When men are cast down^H8213, then thou shalt say^H0559, There is lifting up^H1466; and he shall save^H3467 the humble^H7807 person^H5869. ³⁰He shall deliver^H4422 the island^H0336 of the innocent^H5355: and it is delivered^H4422 by the pureness^H1252 of thine hands^H3709.

Job: Chapter 23

¹Then Job^H0347 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, ²Even to day^H3117 is my complaint^H7879 bitter^H4805: my stroke^H3027 is heavier^H3513 than my groaning^H0585. ³Oh that^H5414 I knew^H3045 where I might find^H4672 him! that I might come^H0935 even to his seat^H8499! ⁴I would order^H6186 my cause^H4941 before^H6440 him, and fill^H4390 my mouth^H6310 with arguments^H8433. ⁵I would know^H3045 the words^H4405 which he would answer^H6030 me, and understand^H0995 what he would say^H0559 unto me. ⁶Will he plead^H7378 against^H5978 me with his great^H7230 power^H3581? No; but he would put^H7760 strength in me. ⁷There the righteous^H3477 might dispute^H3198 with him; so should I be delivered^H6403 for ever^H5331 from my judge^H8199.

⁸Behold, I go^H1980 forward^H6924, but he is not there; and backward^H0268, but I cannot perceive^H0995 him: ⁹On the left hand^H8040, where he doth work^H6213, but I cannot behold^H2372 him: he hideth^H5848 himself on the right hand^H3225, that I cannot see^H7200 him: ¹⁰But he knoweth^H3045 the way^H1870 that I take^H5978: when he hath tried^H0974 me, I shall come forth^H3318 as gold^H2091. ¹¹My foot^H7272 hath held^H0270 his steps^H0838, his way^H1870 have I kept^H8104, and not declined^H5186. ¹²Neither have I gone back^H4185 from the commandment^H4687 of his lips^H8193; I have esteemed^H6845 the words^H0561 of his mouth^H6310 more than my necessary^H2706 food .

¹³But he is in one^H0259 mind , and who can turn^H7725 him? and what his soul^H5315 desireth^H0183, even that he doeth^H6213. ¹⁴For he performeth^H7999 the thing that is appointed^H2706 for me: and many^H7227 such^H2007 things are with him. ¹⁵Therefore am I troubled^H0926 at his presence^H6440: when I consider^H0995, I am afraid^H6342 of him. ¹⁶For God^H0410 maketh my heart^H3820 soft^H7401, and the Almighty^H7706 troubleth^H0926 me: ¹⁷Because I was not cut off^H6789 before^H6440 the darkness^H2822, neither hath he covered^H3680 the darkness^H0652 from my face^H6440.

Job: Chapter 24

¹Why, seeing times^H6256 are not hidden^H6845 from the Almighty^H7706, do they that know^H3045 him not see^H2372 his days^H3117? ² Some remove^H5381 the landmarks^H1367; they violently take away^H1497 flocks^H5739, and feed^H7462 thereof . ³They drive away^H5090 the ass^H2543 of the fatherless^H3490, they take^H2254 the widows^H0490 ox^H7794 for a pledge^H2254. ⁴They turn^H5186 the needy^H0034 out of the way^H1870: the poor^H6041 of the earth^H0776 hide^H2244 themselves together^H3162. ⁵Behold, as wild asses^H6501 in the desert^H4057, go they forth^H3318 to their work^H6467; rising betimes^H7836 for a prey^H2964: the wilderness^H6160 yieldeth food^H3899 for them and for their children^H5288. ⁶They reap^H7114 every one his corn^H1098 in the field^H7704: and they gather^H3953 the vintage^H3754 of the wicked^H7563. ⁷They cause the naked^H6174 to lodge^H3885 without clothing^H3830, that they have no covering^H3682 in the cold^H7135. ⁸They are wet^H7372 with the showers^H2230 of the mountains^H2022, and embrace^H2263 the rock^H6697 for want of a shelter^H4268. ⁹They pluck^H1497 the fatherless^H3490 from the breast^H7699, and take a pledge^H2254 of the poor^H6041. ¹⁰They cause him to go^H1980 naked^H6174 without clothing^H3830, and they take away^H5375 the sheaf^H6016 from the hungry^H7457; ¹¹ Which make oil^H6671 within^H0996 their walls^H7791, and tread^H1869 their winepresses^H3342, and suffer thirst^H6770. ¹²Men^H4962 groan^H5008 from out of the city^H5892, and the soul^H5315 of the wounded^H2491 crieth out^H7768: yet God^H0433 layeth^H7760 not folly^H8604 to them .

¹³They are of those that rebel^H4775 against the light^H0216; they know^H5234 not the ways^H1870 thereof, nor abide^H3427 in the paths^H5410 thereof. ¹⁴The murderer^H7523 rising^H6965 with the light^H0216 killeth^H6991 the poor^H6041 and needy^H0034, and in the night^H3915 is as a thief^H1590. ¹⁵The eye^H5869 also of the adulterer^H5003 waiteth^H8104 for the twilight^H5399, saying^H0559, No eye^H5869 shall see^H7789 me: and disguiseth^H5643 his face^H6440. ¹⁶In the dark^H2822 they dig through^H2864 houses^H1004, which they had marked^H2856 for themselves in the daytime^H3119: they know^H3045 not the light^H0216. ¹⁷For the morning^H1242 is to them even as^H3162 the shadow of death^H6757: if one know^H5234 them, they are in the terrors^H1091 of the shadow of death^H6757.

¹⁸He is swift^H7031 as the waters^H6440; their portion^H2513 is cursed^H7043 in the earth^H0776: he beholdeth^H6437 not the way^H1870 of the vineyards^H3754. ¹⁹Drought^H6723 and heat^H2527 consume^H1497 the snow^H7950 waters^H4325: so doth the grave^H7585 those which have sinned^H2398. ²⁰The womb^H7358 shall forget^H7911 him; the worm^H7415 shall feed sweetly^H4988 on him; he shall be no more remembered^H2142; and wickedness^H5766 shall be broken^H7665 as a tree^H6086. ²¹He evil entreateth^H7462 the barren^H6135 that beareth^H3205 not: and doeth not good^H3190 to the widow^H0490. ²²He draweth^H4900 also the mighty^H0047 with his power^H3581: he riseth up^H6965, and no man is sure^H0539 of life^H2416. ²³ Though it be given^H5414 him to be in safety^H0983, whereon he resteth^H8172; yet his eyes^H5869 are upon their ways^H1870. ²⁴They are exalted^H7426 for a little while^H4592, but are gone and brought low^H4355; they are taken out^H7092 of the way^H1870 as all other , and cut off^H5243 as the tops^H7218 of the ears of corn^H7641. ²⁵And if it be not so now^H0645, who will make^H7760 me a liar^H3576, and make^H7760 my speech^H4405 nothing worth^H0408?

¹Then answered^H6030 Bildad^H1085 the Shuhite^H7747, and said^H0559, ²Dominion^H4910 and fear^H6343 are with him, he maketh^H6213 peace^H7965 in his high places^H4791. ³Is there^H3426 any number^H4557 of his armies^H1416? and upon whom doth not his light^H0216 arise^H6965? ⁴How then can man^H0582 be justified^H6663 with God^H0410? or how can he be clean^H2135 that is born^H3205 of a woman^H0802? ⁵Behold even to the moon^H3394, and it shineth^H0166 not; yea, the stars^H3556 are not pure^H2141 in his sight^H5869. ⁶How much less man^H0582, that is a worm^H7415? and the son^H1121 of man^H0120, which is a worm^H8438?

¹But Job^H0347 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, ²How hast thou helped^H5826 him that is without power^H3581? how savest^H3467 thou the arm^H2220 that hath no^H3808 strength^H5797? ³How hast thou counselled^H3289 him that hath no^H3808 wisdom^H2451? and how hast thou plentifully^H7230 declared^H3045 the thing as it is^H8454? ⁴To whom hast thou uttered^H5046 words^H4405? and whose spirit^H5397 came^H3318 from thee?

⁵Dead^H7496 things are formed^H2342 from under the waters^H4325, and the inhabitants^H7931 thereof. ⁶Hell^H7585 is naked^H6174 before him, and destruction^H0011 hath no covering^H3682. ⁷He stretcheth out^H5186 the north^H6828 over the empty place^H8414, and hangeth^H8518 the earth^H0776 upon nothing^H1099. ⁸He bindeth up^H6887 the waters^H4325 in his thick clouds^H5645; and the cloud^H6051 is not rent^H1234 under them. ⁹He holdeth back^H0270 the face^H6440 of his throne^H3678, and spreadeth^H6576 his cloud^H6051 upon it. ¹⁰He hath compassed^H2328 the waters^H6440 with bounds^H2706, until the day^H0216 and night^H2822 come to an end^H8503. ¹¹The pillars^H5982 of heaven^H8064 tremble^H7322 and are astonished^H8539 at his reproof^H1606. ¹²He divideth^H7280 the sea^H3220 with his power^H3581, and by his understanding^H8394 he smiteth^H4272 through the proud^H7293. ¹³By his spirit^H7307 he hath garnished^H8235 the heavens^H8064; his hand^H3027 hath formed^H2342 the crooked^H1281 serpent^H5175. ¹⁴Lo, these are parts^H7098 of his ways^H1870: but how little^H8102 a portion^H1697 is heard^H8085 of him? but the thunder^H7482 of his power^H1369 who can understand^H0995?

Job: Chapter 27

¹Moreover Job^H0347 continued^H3254 his parable^H4912, and said^H0559, ² As God^H0410 liveth^H2416, who hath taken away^H5493 my judgment^H4941; and the Almighty^H7706, who hath vexed^H4843 my soul^H5315; ³All the while^H5750 my breath^H5397 is in me, and the spirit^H7307 of God^H0433 is in my nostrils^H0639; ⁴My lips^H8193 shall not speak^H1696 wickedness^H5766, nor my tongue^H3956 utter^H1897 deceit^H7423. ⁵God forbid^H2486 that I should justify^H6663 you: till I die^H1478 I will not remove^H5493 mine integrity^H8538 from me. ⁶My righteousness^H6666 I hold^H2388 fast, and will not let it go^H7503: my heart^H3824 shall not reproach^H2778 me so long as I live^H3117.

⁷Let mine enemy^H0341 be as the wicked^H7563, and he that riseth up^H6965 against me as the unrighteous^H5767. ⁸For what is the hope^H8615 of the hypocrite^H2611, though he hath gained^H1214, when God^H0433 taketh away^H7953 his soul^H5315? ⁹Will God^H0410 hear^H8085 his cry^H6818 when trouble^H6869 cometh^H0935 upon him? ¹⁰Will he delight^H6026 himself in the Almighty^H7706? will he always^H6256 call^H7121 upon God^H0433?

¹¹I will teach^H3384 you by the hand^H3027 of God^H0410: that which is with the Almighty^H7706 will I not conceal^H3582. ¹²Behold, all ye yourselves have seen^H2372 it; why then are ye thus altogether^H1892 vain^H1891? ¹³This is the portion^H2506 of a wicked^H7563 man^H0120 with God^H0410, and the heritage^H5159 of oppressors^H6184, which they shall receive^H3947 of the Almighty^H7706. ¹⁴If his children^H1121 be multiplied^H7235, it is for^H3926 the sword^H2719: and his offspring^H6631 shall not be satisfied^H7646 with bread^H3899. ¹⁵Those that remain^H8300 of him shall be buried^H6912 in death^H4194: and his widows^H0490 shall not weep^H1058. ¹⁶Though he heap up^H6651 silver^H3701 as the dust^H6083, and prepare^H3559 raiment^H4403 as the clay^H2563; ¹⁷He may prepare^H3559 it , but the just^H6662 shall put it on^H3847, and the innocent^H5355 shall divide^H2505 the silver^H3701. ¹⁸He buildeth^H1129 his house^H1004 as a moth^H6211, and as a booth^H5521 that the keeper^H5341 maketh^H6213. ¹⁹The rich^H6223 man shall lie down^H7901, but he shall not be gathered^H0622: he openeth^H6491 his eyes^H5869, and he is not. ²⁰Terrors^H1091 take hold^H5381 on him as waters^H4325, a tempest^H5492 stealeth him away^H1589 in the night^H3915. ²¹The east^H6921 wind carrieth him away^H5375, and he departeth^H3212: and as a storm hurleth^H8175 him out of his place^H4725. ²²For God shall cast^H7993 upon him, and not spare^H2550: he would fain^H1272 flee^H1272 out of his hand^H3027. ²³ Men shall clap^H5606 their hands^H3709 at him, and shall hiss^H8319 him out of his place^H4725.

¹Surely^H3426 there is a vein^H4161 for the silver^H3701, and a place^H4725 for gold^H2091 where they fine^H2212 it . ²Iron^H1270 is taken^H3947 out of the earth^H6083, and brass^H5154 is molten^H6694 out of the stone^H0068. ³He setteth^H7760 an end^H7093 to darkness^H2822, and searcheth out^H2713 all perfection^H8503: the stones^H0068 of darkness^H0652, and the shadow of death^H6757. ⁴The flood^H5158 breaketh out^H6555 from the inhabitant^H1481; even the waters forgotten^H7911 of the foot^H7272: they are dried up^H1809, they are gone away^H5128 from men^H0582. ⁵ As for the earth^H0776, out of it cometh^H3318 bread^H3899: and under it is turned up^H2015 as it were fire^H0784. ⁶The stones^H0068 of it are the place^H4725 of sapphires^H5601: and it hath dust^H6083 of gold^H2091. ⁷ There is a path^H5410 which no fowl^H5861 knoweth^H3045, and which the vultures^H0344 eye^H5869 hath not seen^H7805: ⁸The lions^H7830 whelps^H1121 have not trodden^H1869 it, nor the fierce lion^H7826 passed^H5710 by it. ⁹He putteth forth^H7971 his hand^H3027 upon the rock^H2496; he overturneth^H2015 the mountains^H2022 by the roots^H8328. ¹⁰He cutteth out^H1234 rivers^H2975 among the rocks^H6697; and his eye^H5869 seeth^H7200 every precious thing^H3366. ¹¹He bindeth^H2280 the floods^H5104 from overflowing^H1065; and the thing that is hid^H8587 bringeth he forth^H3318 to light^H0216. ¹²But where^H0370 shall wisdom^H2451 be found^H4672? and where is the place^H4725 of understanding^H0998? ¹³Man^H0582 knoweth^H3045 not the price^H6187 thereof; neither is it found^H4672 in the land^H0776 of the living^H2416.

¹⁴The depth^H8415 saith^H0559, It is not in me: and the sea^H3220 saith^H0559, It is not with me. ¹⁵It cannot be gotten^H5414 for gold^H5458, neither shall silver^H3701 be weighed^H8254 for the price^H4242 thereof. ¹⁶It cannot be valued^H5541 with the gold^H3800 of Ophir^H0211, with the precious^H3368 onyx^H7718, or the sapphire^H5601. ¹⁷The gold^H2091 and the crystal^H2137 cannot equal^H6186 it: and the exchange^H8545 of it shall not be for jewels^H3627 of fine gold^H6337. ¹⁸No mention^H2142 shall be made of coral^H7215, or of pearls^H1378: for the price^H4901 of wisdom^H2451 is above rubies^H6443. ¹⁹The topaz^H6357 of Ethiopia^H3568 shall not equal^H6186 it, neither shall it be valued^H5541 with pure^H2889 gold^H3800.

²⁰Whence^H0370 then cometh^H0935 wisdom^H2451? and where is the place^H4725 of understanding^H0998? ²¹Seeing it is hid^H5956 from the eyes^H5869 of all living^H2416, and kept close^H5641 from the fowls^H5775 of the air^H8064. ²²Destruction^H0011 and death^H4194 say^H0559, We have heard^H8085 the fame^H8088 thereof with our ears^H0241. ²³God^H0430 understandeth^H0995 the way^H1870 thereof, and he knoweth^H3045 the place^H4725 thereof. ²⁴For he looketh^H5027 to the ends^H7098 of the earth^H0776, and seeth^H7200 under the whole heaven^H8064; ²⁵To make^H6213 the weight^H4948 for the winds^H7307; and he weigheth^H8505 the waters^H4325 by measure^H4060. ²⁶When he made^H6213 a decree^H2706 for the rain^H4306, and a way^H1870 for the lightning^H2385 of the thunder^H6963: ²⁷Then did he see^H7200 it, and declare^H5608 it; he prepared^H3559 it, yea, and searched it out^H2713. ²⁸And unto man^H0120 he said^H0559, Behold, the fear^H3374 of the Lord^H0136, that is wisdom^H2451; and to depart^H5493 from evil^H7451 is understanding^H0998.

Job: Chapter 29

¹Moreover Job^H0347 continued^H3254 his parable^H4912, and said^H0559, ²Oh that^H5414 I were as in months^H3391 past^H6924, as in the days^H3117 when God^H0433 preserved^H8104 me; ³When his candle^H5216 shined^H1984 upon my head^H7218, and when by his light^H0216 I walked^H3212 through darkness^H2822; ⁴As I was in the days^H3117 of my youth^H2779, when the secret^H5475 of God^H0433 was upon my tabernacle^H0168; ⁵When the Almighty^H7706 was yet with me, when my children^H5288 were about^H5439 me; ⁶When I washed^H7364 my steps^H1978 with butter^H2529, and the rock^H6697 poured me out^H6694 rivers^H6388 of oil^H8081;

⁷When I went out^H3318 to the gate^H8179 through the city^H7176, when I prepared^H3559 my seat^H4186 in the street^H7339! ⁸The young men^H5288 saw^H7200 me, and hid^H2244 themselves: and the aged^H3453 arose^H6965, and stood up^H5975. ⁹The princes^H8269 refrained^H6113 talking^H4405, and laid^H7760 their hand^H3709 on their mouth^H6310. ¹⁰The nobles^H5057 held^H2244 their peace^H6963, and their tongue^H3956 cleaved^H1692 to the roof of their mouth^H2441. ¹¹When the ear^H0241 heard^H8085 me , then it blessed^H0833 me; and when the eye^H5869 saw^H7200 me , it gave witness^H5749 to me: ¹²Because I delivered^H4422 the poor^H6041 that cried^H7768, and the fatherless^H3490, and him that had none to help^H5826 him. ¹³The blessing^H1293 of him that was ready to perish^H0006 came^H0935 upon me: and I caused the widows^H0490 heart^H3820 to sing for joy^H7442. ¹⁴I put^H3847 on righteousness^H6664, and it clothed^H3847 me: my judgment^H4941 was as a robe^H4598 and a diadem^H6797. ¹⁵I was eyes^H5869 to the blind^H5787, and feet^H7272 was I to the lame^H6455. ¹⁶I was a father^H0001 to the poor^H0034: and the cause^H7379 which I knew^H3045 not I searched out^H2713. ¹⁷And I brake^H7665 the jaws^H4973 of the wicked^H5767, and plucked^H7993 the spoil^H2964 out of his teeth^H8127.

¹⁸Then I said^H0559, I shall die^H1478 in my nest^H7064, and I shall multiply^H7235 my days^H3117 as the sand^H2344. ¹⁹My root^H8328 was spread out^H6605 by the waters^H4325, and the dew^H2919 lay all night^H3885 upon my branch^H7105. ²⁰My glory^H3519 was fresh^H2319 in me^H5978, and my bow^H7198 was renewed^H2498 in my hand^H3027. ²¹Unto me men gave ear^H8085, and waited^H3176, and kept silence^H1826 at^H3926 my counsel^H6098. ²²After^H0310 my words^H1697 they spake not again^H8138; and my speech^H4405 dropped^H5197 upon them. ²³And they waited^H3176 for me as for the rain^H4306; and they opened^H6473 their mouth^H6310 wide as for the latter rain^H4456. ²⁴ If I laughed^H7832 on them, they believed^H0539 it not; and the light^H0216 of my countenance^H6440 they cast not down^H5307. ²⁵I chose^H0977 out their way^H1870, and sat^H3427 chief^H7218, and dwelt^H7931 as a king^H4428 in the army^H1416, as one that comforteth^H5162 the mourners^H0057.

¹But now they that are younger^H6810 than I have me in derision^H7832, whose fathers^H0001 I would have disdained^H3988 to have set^H7896 with the dogs^H3611 of my flock^H6629. ²Yea, whereto^H4100 might the strength^H3581 of their hands^H3027 profit me, in whom old age^H3624 was perished^H0006? ³For want^H2639 and famine^H3720 they were solitary^H1565; fleeing^H6207 into the wilderness^H6723 in former time^H0570 desolate^H7722 and waste^H4875. ⁴Who cut up^H6998 mallows^H4408 by the bushes^H7880, and juniper^H7574 roots^H8328 for their meat^H3899. ⁵They were driven forth^H1644 from among^H1460 men , (they cried^H7321 after them as after a thief^H1590;) ⁶To dwell^H7931 in the clifts^H6178 of the valleys^H5158, in caves^H2356 of the earth^H6083, and in the rocks^H3710. ⁷Among the bushes^H7880 they brayed^H5101; under the nettles^H2738 they were gathered together^H5596. ⁸ They were children^H1121 of fools^H5036, yea, children^H1121 of base men^H8034: they were viler^H5217 than the earth^H0776. ⁹And now am I their song^H5058, yea, I am their byword^H4405. ¹⁰They abhor^H8581 me, they flee far^H7368 from me, and spare^H2820 not to spit^H7536 in my face^H6440. ¹¹Because he hath loosed^H6605 my cord^H3499, and afflicted^H6031 me, they have also let loose^H7971 the bridle^H7448 before^H6440 me. ¹²Upon my right^H3225 hand rise^H6965 the youth^H6526; they push away^H7971 my feet^H7272, and they raise up^H5549 against me the ways^H0734 of their destruction^H0343. ¹³They mar^H5420 my path^H5410, they set forward^H3276 my calamity^H1942, they have no helper^H5826. ¹⁴They came^H0857 upon me as a wide^H7342 breaking^H6556 in of waters: in^H8478 the desolation^H7722 they rolled^H1556 themselves upon me .

¹⁵Terrors^H1091 are turned^H2015 upon me: they pursue^H7291 my soul^H5082 as the wind^H7307: and my welfare^H3444 passeth away^H5674 as a cloud^H5645. ¹⁶And now my soul^H5315 is poured out^H8210 upon me; the days^H3117 of affliction^H6040 have taken hold^H0270 upon me. ¹⁷My bones^H6106 are pierced^H5365 in me in the night season^H3915: and my sinews^H6207 take no rest^H7901. ¹⁸By the great^H7230 force^H3581 of my disease is my garment^H3830 changed^H2664: it bindeth me about^H0247 as the collar^H6310 of my coat^H3801. ¹⁹He hath cast^H3384 me into the mire^H2563, and I am become like^H4911 dust^H6083 and ashes^H0665. ²⁰I cry^H7768 unto thee, and thou dost not hear^H6030 me: I stand up^H5975, and thou regardest^H0995 me not . ²¹Thou art become^H2015 cruel^H0393 to me: with thy strong^H6108 hand^H3027 thou opposest^H7852 thyself against me. ²²Thou liftest me up^H5375 to the wind^H7307; thou causest me to ride^H7392 upon it , and dissolvest^H4127 my substance^H8454. ²³For I know^H3045 that thou wilt bring^H7725 me to death^H4194, and to the house^H1004 appointed^H4150 for all living^H2416. ²⁴Howbeit he will not stretch out^H7971 his hand^H3027 to the grave^H1164, though they cry^H7769 in his destruction^H6365. ²⁵Did not I weep^H1058 for him that was in trouble^H7186? was not my soul^H5315 grieved^H5701 for the poor^H0034? ²⁶When I looked^H6960 for good^H2896, then evil^H7451 came^H0935 unto me: and when I waited^H3176 for light^H0216, there came^H0935 darkness^H0652. ²⁷My bowels^H4578 boiled^H7570, and rested^H1826 not: the days^H3117 of affliction^H6040 prevented^H6923 me. ²⁸I went^H1980 mourning^H6937 without the sun^H2535: I stood up^H6965, and I cried^H7768 in the congregation^H6951. ²⁹I am a brother^H0251 to dragons^H8577, and a companion^H7453 to owls^H1323. ³⁰My skin^H5785 is black^H7835 upon me, and my bones^H6106 are burned^H2787 with heat^H2721. ³¹My harp^H3658 also is turned to mourning^H0060, and my organ^H5748 into the voice^H6963 of them that weep^H1058.

Job: Chapter 31

¹I made^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with mine eyes^H5869; why then should I think^H0995 upon a maid^H1330? ²For what portion^H2506 of God^H0433 is there from above^H4605? and what inheritance^H5159 of the Almighty^H7706 from on high^H4791? ³ Is not destruction^H0343 to the wicked^H5767? and a strange^H5235 punishment to the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H0205? ⁴Doth not he see^H7200 my ways^H1870, and count^H5608 all my steps^H6806? ⁵If I have walked^H1980 with vanity^H7723, or if my foot^H7272 hath hasted^H2363 to deceit^H4820; ⁶Let me be weighed^H8254 in an even^H6664 balance^H3976, that God^H0433 may know^H3045 mine integrity^H8538. ⁷If my step^H0838 hath turned out^H5186 of the way^H1870, and mine heart^H3820 walked^H1980 after^H0310 mine eyes^H5869, and if any blot^H3971 hath cleaved^H1692 to mine hands^H3709; ⁸ Then let me sow^H2232, and let another^H0312 eat^H0398; yea, let my offspring^H6631 be rooted out^H8327.

⁹If mine heart^H3820 have been deceived^H6601 by a woman^H0802, or if I have laid wait^H0693 at my neighbours^H7453 door^H6607; ¹⁰ Then let my wife^H0802 grind^H2912 unto another^H0312, and let others^H0312 bow down^H3766 upon her. ¹¹For this is an heinous crime^H2154; yea, it is an iniquity^H5771 to be punished by the judges^H6414. ¹²For it is a fire^H0784 that consumeth^H0398 to destruction^H0011, and would root out^H8327 all mine increase^H8393. ¹³If I did despise^H3988 the cause^H4941 of my manservant^H5650 or of my maidservant^H0519, when they contended^H7379 with me; ¹⁴What then shall I do^H6213 when God^H0410 riseth up^H6965? and when he visiteth^H6485, what shall I answer^H7725 him? ¹⁵Did not he that made^H6213 me in the womb^H0990 make^H6213 him? and did not one^H0259 fashion^H3559 us in the womb^H7358?

¹⁶If I have withheld^H4513 the poor^H1800 from their desire^H2656, or have caused the eyes^H5869 of the widow^H0490 to fail^H3615; ¹⁷Or have eaten^H0398 my morsel^H6595 myself alone, and the fatherless^H3490 hath not eaten^H0398 thereof; ¹⁸(For from my youth^H5271 he was brought up^H1431 with me, as with a father^H0001, and I have guided^H5148 her from my mothers^H0517 womb^H0990;) ¹⁹If I have seen^H7200 any perish^H0006 for want of clothing^H3830, or any poor^H0034 without covering^H3682; ²⁰If his loins^H2504 have not blessed^H1288 me, and if he were not warmed^H2552 with the fleece^H1488 of my sheep^H3532; ²¹If I have lifted up^H5130 my hand^H3027 against the fatherless^H3490, when I saw^H7200 my help^H5833 in the gate^H8179: ²² Then let mine arm^H3802 fall^H5307 from my shoulder blade^H7929, and mine arm^H0248 be broken^H7665 from the bone^H7070. ²³For destruction^H0343 from God^H0410 was a terror^H6343 to me, and by reason of his highness^H7613 I could^H3201 not endure.

²⁴If I have made^H7760 gold^H2091 my hope^H3689, or have said^H0559 to the fine gold^H3800, Thou art my confidence^H4009; ²⁵If I rejoiced^H8055 because my wealth^H2428 was great^H7227, and because mine hand^H3027 had gotten^H4672 much^H3524; ²⁶If I beheld^H7200 the sun^H0216 when it shined^H1984, or the moon^H3394 walking^H1980 in brightness^H3368; ²⁷And my heart^H3820 hath been secretly^H5643 enticed^H6601, or my mouth^H6310 hath kissed^H5401 my hand^H3027: ²⁸This also were an iniquity^H5771 to be punished by the judge^H6416: for I should have denied^H3584 the God^H0410 that is above^H4605. ²⁹If I rejoiced^H8055 at the destruction^H6365 of him that hated^H8130 me, or lifted up^H5782 myself when evil^H7451 found^H4672 him: ³⁰Neither have I suffered^H5414 my mouth^H2441 to sin^H2398 by wishing^H7592 a curse^H0423 to his soul^H5315. ³¹If the men^H4962 of my tabernacle^H0168 said^H0559 not, Oh that we had^H5414 of his flesh^H1320! we cannot be satisfied^H7646. ³²The stranger^H1616 did not lodge^H3885 in the street^H2351: but I opened^H6605 my doors^H1817 to the traveller^H0734.

³³If I covered^H3680 my transgressions^H6588 as Adam^H0121, by hiding^H2934 mine iniquity^H5771 in my bosom^H2243: ³⁴Did I fear^H6206 a great^H7227 multitude^H1995, or did the contempt^H0937 of families^H4940 terrify^H2865 me, that I kept silence^H1826, and went not out^H3318 of the door^H6607? ³⁵Oh that^H5414 one would hear^H8085 me! behold, my desire^H8420 is, that the Almighty^H7706 would answer^H6030 me, and that mine adversary^H0376 had written^H3789 a book^H5612. ³⁶Surely I would take^H5375 it upon my shoulder^H7926, and bind^H6029 it as a crown^H5850 to me. ³⁷I would declare^H5046 unto him the number^H4557 of my steps^H6806; as a prince^H5057 would I go near^H7126 unto him. ³⁸If my land^H0127 cry^H2199 against me, or that the furrows^H8525 likewise^H3162 thereof complain^H1058; ³⁹If I have eaten^H0398 the fruits^H3581 thereof without money^H3701, or have caused the owners^H1167 thereof to lose^H5301 their life^H5315: ⁴⁰Let thistles^H2336 grow^H3318 instead of wheat^H2406, and cockle^H0890 instead of barley^H8184.

¹So these three^H7969 men^H0582 ceased^H7673 to answer^H6030 Job^H0347, because he was righteous^H6662 in his own eyes^H5869. ²Then was kindled^H2734 the wrath^H0639 of Elihu^H0453 the son^H1121 of Barachel^H1292 the Buzite^H0940, of the kindred^H4940 of Ram^H7410: against Job^H0347 was his wrath^H0639 kindled^H2734, because he justified^H6663 himself^H5315 rather than God^H0430. ³Also against his three^H7969 friends^H7453 was his wrath^H0639 kindled^H2734, because they had found^H4672 no answer^H4617, and yet had condemned^H7561 Job^H0347. ⁴Now Elihu^H0453 had waited^H2442 till Job^H0347 had spoken^H1697, because they were elder^H2205 than he. ⁵When Elihu^H0453 saw^H7200 that there was no answer^H4617 in the mouth^H6310 of these three^H7969 men^H0582, then his wrath^H0639 was kindled^H2734.

⁶And Elihu^H0453 the son^H1121 of Barachel^H1292 the Buzite^H0940 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, I am young^H6810, and ye are very old^H3453; wherefore I was afraid^H2119, and durst^H3372 not shew^H2331 you mine opinion^H1843. ⁷I said^H0559, Days^H3117 should speak^H1696, and multitude^H7230 of years^H8141 should teach^H3045 wisdom^H2451. ⁸But^H0403 there is a spirit^H7307 in man^H0582: and the inspiration^H5397 of the Almighty^H7706 giveth them understanding^H0995. ⁹Great men^H7227 are not always wise^H2449: neither do the aged^H2205 understand^H0995 judgment^H4941. ¹⁰Therefore I said^H0559, Hearken^H8085 to me; I also will shew^H2331 mine opinion^H1843. ¹¹Behold, I waited^H3176 for your words^H1697; I gave ear^H0238 to your reasons^H8394, whilst ye searched out^H2713 what to say^H4405. ¹²Yea, I attended^H0995 unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced^H3198 Job^H0347, or that answered^H6030 his words^H0561: ¹³Lest ye should say^H0559, We have found out^H4672 wisdom^H2451: God^H0410 thrusteth him down^H5086, not man^H0376. ¹⁴Now he hath not directed^H6186 his words^H4405 against me: neither will I answer^H7725 him with your speeches^H0561.

¹⁵They were amazed^H2865, they answered^H6030 no more: they left off^H6275 speaking^H4405. ¹⁶When I had waited^H3176, (for they spake^H1696 not, but stood still^H5975, and answered^H6030 no more;) ¹⁷ I said , I will answer^H6030 also my part^H2506, I also will shew^H2331 mine opinion^H1843. ¹⁸For I am full^H4390 of matter^H4405, the spirit^H7307 within^H0990 me constraineth^H6693 me. ¹⁹Behold, my belly^H0990 is as wine^H3196 which hath no vent^H6605; it is ready to burst^H1234 like new^H2319 bottles^H0178. ²⁰I will speak^H1696, that I may be refreshed^H7304: I will open^H6605 my lips^H8193 and answer^H6030. ²¹Let me not, I pray you, accept^H5375 any mans^H0376 person^H6440, neither let me give flattering titles^H3655 unto man^H0120. ²²For I know^H3045 not to give flattering titles^H3655; in so doing my maker^H6213 would soon^H4592 take me away^H5375.

Job: Chapter 33

¹Wherefore^H0199, Job^H0347, I pray thee, hear^H8085 my speeches^H4405, and hearken^H0238 to all my words^H1697. ²Behold, now I have opened^H6605 my mouth^H6310, my tongue^H3956 hath spoken^H1696 in my mouth^H2441. ³My words^H0561 shall be of the uprightness^H3476 of my heart^H3820: and my lips^H8193 shall utter^H4448 knowledge^H1847 clearly^H1305. ⁴The Spirit^H7307 of God^H0410 hath made^H6213 me, and the breath^H5397 of the Almighty^H7706 hath given me life^H2421. ⁵If thou canst^H3201 answer^H7725 me, set thy words in order^H6186 before^H6440 me, stand up^H3320. ⁶Behold, I am according to thy wish^H6310 in Gods^H0410 stead: I also am formed^H7169 out of the clay^H2563. ⁷Behold, my terror^H0367 shall not make thee afraid^H1204, neither shall my hand^H0405 be heavy^H3513 upon thee.

⁸Surely thou hast spoken^H0559 in mine hearing^H0241, and I have heard^H8085 the voice^H6963 of thy words^H4405, saying , ⁹I am clean^H2134 without transgression^H6588, I am innocent^H2643; neither is there iniquity^H5771 in me. ¹⁰Behold, he findeth^H4672 occasions^H8569 against me, he counteth^H2803 me for his enemy^H0341, ¹¹He putteth^H7760 my feet^H7272 in the stocks^H5465, he marketh^H8104 all my paths^H0734. ¹²Behold, in this thou art not just^H6663: I will answer^H6030 thee, that God^H0433 is greater^H7235 than man^H0582. ¹³Why dost thou strive^H7378 against him? for he giveth not account^H6030 of any of his matters^H1697.

¹⁴For God^H0410 speaketh^H1696 once^H0259, yea twice^H8147, yet man perceiveth^H7789 it not. ¹⁵In a dream^H2472, in a vision^H2384 of the night^H3915, when deep^H8639 sleep falleth^H5307 upon men^H0582, in slumberings^H8572 upon the bed^H4904; ¹⁶Then he openeth^H1540 the ears^H0241 of men^H0582, and sealeth^H2856 their instruction^H4561, ¹⁷That he may withdraw^H5493 man^H0120 from his purpose^H4639, and hide^H3680 pride^H1466 from man^H1397. ¹⁸He keepeth back^H2820 his soul^H5315 from the pit^H7845, and his life^H2416 from perishing^H5674 by the sword^H7973.

¹⁹He is chastened^H3198 also with pain^H4341 upon his bed^H4904, and the multitude^H7230 of his bones^H6106 with strong^H0386 pain: ²⁰So that his life^H2416 abhorreth^H2092 bread^H3899, and his soul^H5315 dainty^H8378 meat^H3978. ²¹His flesh^H1320 is consumed away^H3615, that it cannot be seen^H7210; and his bones^H6106 that were not seen^H7200 stick out^H8192. ²²Yea, his soul^H5315 draweth near^H7126 unto the grave^H7845, and his life^H2416 to the destroyers^H4191. ²³If there^H3426 be a messenger^H4397 with him, an interpreter^H3887, one^H0259 among a thousand^H0505, to shew^H5046 unto man^H0120 his uprightness^H3476: ²⁴Then he is gracious^H2603 unto him, and saith^H0559, Deliver^H6308 him from going down^H3381 to the pit^H7845: I have found^H4672 a ransom^H3724. ²⁵His flesh^H1320 shall be fresher^H7375 than a childs^H5290: he shall return^H7725 to the days^H3117 of his youth^H5934: ²⁶He shall pray^H6279 unto God^H0433, and he will be favourable^H7521 unto him: and he shall see^H7200 his face^H6440 with joy^H8643: for he will render^H7725 unto man^H0582 his righteousness^H6666. ²⁷He looketh^H7789 upon men^H0582, and if any say^H0559, I have sinned^H2398, and perverted^H5753 that which was right^H3477, and it profited^H7737 me not; ²⁸He will deliver^H6299 his soul^H5315 from going^H5674 into the pit^H7845, and his life^H2416 shall see^H7200 the light^H0216.

²⁹Lo, all these things worketh^H6466 God^H0410 oftentimes^H6471 with man^H1397, ³⁰To bring back^H7725 his soul^H5315 from the pit^H7845, to be enlightened^H0215 with the light^H0216 of the living^H2416. ³¹Mark well^H7181, O Job^H0347, hearken^H8085 unto me: hold thy peace^H2790, and I will speak^H1696. ³²If thou hast^H3426 any thing to say^H4405, answer^H7725 me: speak^H1696, for I desire^H2654 to justify^H6663 thee. ³³If not, hearken^H8085 unto me: hold thy peace^H2790, and I shall teach^H0502 thee wisdom^H2451.

Job: Chapter 34

¹Furthermore Elihu^H0453 answered^H6030 and said^H0559, ²Hear^H8085 my words^H4405, O ye wise^H2450 men; and give ear^H0238 unto me, ye that have knowledge^H3045. ³For the ear^H0241 trieth^H0974 words^H4405, as the mouth^H2441 tasteth^H2938 meat^H0398. ⁴Let us choose^H0977 to us judgment^H4941: let us know^H3045 among ourselves what is good^H2896. ⁵For Job^H0347 hath said^H0559, I am righteous^H6663: and God^H0410 hath taken away^H5493 my judgment^H4941. ⁶Should I lie^H3576 against my right^H4941? my wound^H2671 is incurable^H0605 without transgression^H6588. ⁷What man^H1397 is like Job^H0347, who drinketh up^H8354 scorning^H3933 like water^H4325? ⁸Which goeth^H0732 in company^H2274 with the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H0205, and walketh^H3212 with wicked^H7562 men^H0582. ⁹For he hath said^H0559, It profiteth^H5532 a man^H1397 nothing that he should delight^H7521 himself with God^H0430.

¹⁰Therefore hearken^H8085 unto me, ye men^H0582 of understanding^H3824: far be it^H2486 from God^H0410, that he should do wickedness^H7562; and from the Almighty^H7706, that he should commit iniquity^H5766. ¹¹For the work^H6467 of a man^H0120 shall he render^H7999 unto him, and cause every man^H0376 to find^H4672 according to his ways^H0734. ¹²Yea, surely^H0551 God^H0410 will not do wickedly^H7561, neither will the Almighty^H7706 pervert^H5791 judgment^H4941. ¹³Who hath given him a charge^H6485 over the earth^H0776? or who hath disposed^H7760 the whole world^H8398? ¹⁴If he set^H7760 his heart^H3820 upon man, if he gather^H0622 unto himself his spirit^H7307 and his breath^H5397; ¹⁵All flesh^H1320 shall perish^H1478 together^H3162, and man^H0120 shall turn again^H7725 unto dust^H6083.

¹⁶If now thou hast understanding^H0998, hear^H8085 this: hearken^H0238 to the voice^H6963 of my words^H4405. ¹⁷Shall even he that hateth^H8130 right^H4941 govern^H2280? and wilt thou condemn^H7561 him that is most^H3524 just^H6662? ¹⁸ Is it fit to say^H0559 to a king^H4428, Thou art wicked^H1100? and to princes^H5081, Ye are ungodly^H7563? ¹⁹ How much less to him that accepteth^H5375 not the persons^H6440 of princes^H8269, nor regardeth^H5234 the rich^H7771 more than^H6440 the poor^H1800? for they all are the work^H4639 of his hands^H3027. ²⁰In a moment^H7281 shall they die^H4191, and the people^H5971 shall be troubled^H1607 at midnight^H2676, and pass away^H5674: and the mighty^H0047 shall be taken away^H5493 without hand^H3027. ²¹For his eyes^H5869 are upon the ways^H1870 of man^H0376, and he seeth^H7200 all his goings^H6806. ²² There is no darkness^H2822, nor shadow of death^H6757, where the workers^H6466 of iniquity^H0205 may hide^H5641 themselves. ²³For he will not lay^H7760 upon man^H0376 more than right; that he should enter^H1980 into judgment^H4941 with God^H0410. ²⁴He shall break in pieces^H7489 mighty men^H3524 without number^H2714, and set^H5975 others^H0312 in their stead. ²⁵Therefore he knoweth^H5234 their works^H4566, and he overturneth^H2015 them in the night^H3915, so that they are destroyed^H1792. ²⁶He striketh^H5606 them as^H8478 wicked men^H7563 in the open^H4725 sight^H7200 of others; ²⁷Because they turned back^H5493 from him^H0310, and would not consider^H7919 any of his ways^H1870: ²⁸So that they cause the cry^H6818 of the poor^H1800 to come^H0935 unto him, and he heareth^H8085 the cry^H6818 of the afflicted^H6041. ²⁹When he giveth quietness^H8252, who then can make trouble^H7561? and when he hideth^H5641 his face^H6440, who then can behold^H7789 him? whether it be done against a nation^H1471, or against a man^H0120 only^H3162: ³⁰That the hypocrite^H0120 reign^H4427 not, lest the people^H5971 be ensnared^H4170.

³¹Surely it is meet to be said^H0559 unto God^H0410, I have borne^H5375 chastisement , I will not offend^H2254 any more: ³² That which I see^H2372 not^H1107 teach^H3384 thou me: if I have done^H6466 iniquity^H5766, I will do^H3254 no more. ³³ Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense^H7999 it, whether thou refuse^H3588, or whether thou choose^H0977; and not I: therefore speak^H1696 what thou knowest^H3045. ³⁴Let men^H0582 of understanding^H3824 tell^H0559 me, and let a wise^H2450 man^H1397 hearken^H8085 unto me. ³⁵ Job^H0347 hath spoken^H1696 without knowledge^H1847, and his words^H1697 were without wisdom^H7919. ³⁶My desire^H0015 is that Job^H0347 may be tried^H0974 unto the end^H5331 because of his answers^H8666 for wicked^H0205 men^H0582. ³⁷For he addeth^H3254 rebellion^H6588 unto his sin^H2403, he clappeth^H5606 his hands among us, and multiplieth^H7235 his words^H0561 against God^H0410.

Job: Chapter 35

¹ Elihu^H0453 spake^H6030 moreover, and said^H0559, ²Thinkest^H2803 thou this to be right^H4941, that thou saidst^H0559, My righteousness^H6664 is more than Gods^H0410? ³For thou saidst^H0559, What advantage^H5532 will it be unto thee? and , What profit^H3276 shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin^H2403? ⁴I will answer^H7725 thee, and thy companions^H7453 with thee. ⁵Look^H5027 unto the heavens^H8064, and see^H7200; and behold^H7789 the clouds^H7834 which are higher^H1361 than thou. ⁶If thou sinnest^H2398, what doest^H6466 thou against him? or if thy transgressions^H6588 be multiplied^H7231, what doest^H6213 thou unto him? ⁷If thou be righteous^H6663, what givest^H5414 thou him? or what receiveth^H3947 he of thine hand^H3027? ⁸Thy wickedness^H7562 may hurt a man^H0376 as thou art; and thy righteousness^H6666 may profit the son^H1121 of man^H0120.

⁹By reason of the multitude^H7230 of oppressions^H6217 they make the oppressed to cry^H2199: they cry out^H7768 by reason of the arm^H2220 of the mighty^H7227. ¹⁰But none saith^H0559, Where is God^H0433 my maker^H6213, who giveth^H5414 songs^H2158 in the night^H3915; ¹¹Who teacheth^H0502 us more than the beasts^H0929 of the earth^H0776, and maketh us wiser^H2449 than the fowls^H5775 of heaven^H8064? ¹²There they cry^H6817, but none giveth answer^H6030, because^H6440 of the pride^H1347 of evil men^H7451. ¹³Surely God^H0410 will not hear^H8085 vanity^H7723, neither will the Almighty^H7706 regard^H7789 it.

¹⁴Although^H0637 thou sayest^H0559 thou shalt not see^H7789 him, yet judgment^H1779 is before^H6440 him; therefore trust^H2342 thou in him. ¹⁵But now, because it is not so , he hath visited^H6485 in his anger^H0639; yet he knoweth^H3045 it not in great^H3966 extremity^H6580: ¹⁶Therefore doth Job^H0347 open^H6475 his mouth^H6310 in vain^H1892; he multiplieth^H3527 words^H4405 without^H1097 knowledge^H1847.

Job: Chapter 36

¹ Elihu^H0453 also proceeded^H3254, and said^H0559, ²Suffer^H3803 me a little^H2191, and I will shew^H2331 thee that I have yet to speak^H4405 on Gods^H0433 behalf. ³I will fetch^H5375 my knowledge^H1843 from afar^H7350, and will ascribe^H5414 righteousness^H6664 to my Maker^H6466. ⁴For truly^H0551 my words^H4405 shall not be false^H8267: he that is perfect^H8549 in knowledge^H1844 is with thee.

⁵Behold, God^H0410 is mighty^H3524, and despiseth^H3988 not any: he is mighty^H3524 in strength^H3581 and wisdom^H3820. ⁶He preserveth not the life^H2421 of the wicked^H7563: but giveth^H5414 right^H4941 to the poor^H6041. ⁷He withdraweth^H1639 not his eyes^H5869 from the righteous^H6662: but with kings^H4428 are they on the throne^H3678; yea, he doth establish^H3427 them for ever^H5331, and they are exalted^H1361. ⁸And if they be bound^H0631 in fetters^H2131, and be holden^H3920 in cords^H2256 of affliction^H6040; ⁹Then he sheweth^H5046 them their work^H6467, and their transgressions^H6588 that they have exceeded^H1396. ¹⁰He openeth^H1540 also their ear^H0241 to discipline^H4148, and commandeth^H0559 that they return^H7725 from iniquity^H0205. ¹¹If they obey^H8085 and serve^H5647 him , they shall spend^H3615 their days^H3117 in prosperity^H2896, and their years^H8141 in pleasures^H5273. ¹²But if they obey^H8085 not, they shall perish^H5674 by the sword^H7973, and they shall die^H1478 without knowledge^H1847. ¹³But the hypocrites^H2611 in heart^H3820 heap up^H7760 wrath^H0639: they cry^H7768 not when he bindeth^H0631 them. ¹⁴They^H5315 die^H4191 in youth^H5290, and their life^H2416 is among the unclean^H6945.

¹⁵He delivereth^H2502 the poor^H6041 in his affliction^H6040, and openeth^H1540 their ears^H0241 in oppression^H3906. ¹⁶Even so would he have removed^H5496 thee out of the strait^H6310 into a broad place^H7338, where^H8478 there is no straitness^H4164; and that which should be set^H5183 on thy table^H7979 should be full^H4390 of fatness^H1880. ¹⁷But thou hast fulfilled^H4390 the judgment^H1779 of the wicked^H7563: judgment^H1779 and justice^H4941 take hold^H8551 on thee . ¹⁸Because there is wrath^H2534, beware lest he take thee away^H5496 with his stroke^H5607: then a great^H7230 ransom^H3724 cannot deliver^H5186 thee. ¹⁹Will he esteem^H6186 thy riches^H7769? no , not gold^H1222, nor all the forces^H3981 of strength^H3581. ²⁰Desire^H7602 not the night^H3915, when people^H5971 are cut off^H5927 in their place. ²¹Take heed^H8104, regard^H6437 not iniquity^H0205: for this hast thou chosen^H0977 rather than affliction^H6040. ²²Behold, God^H0410 exalteth^H7682 by his power^H3581: who teacheth^H3384 like him? ²³Who hath enjoined^H6485 him his way^H1870? or who can say^H0559, Thou hast wrought^H6466 iniquity^H5766?

²⁴Remember^H2142 that thou magnify^H7679 his work^H6467, which men^H0582 behold^H7891. ²⁵Every man^H0120 may see^H2372 it; man^H0582 may behold^H5027 it afar off^H7350. ²⁶Behold, God^H0410 is great^H7689, and we know^H3045 him not, neither can the number^H4557 of his years^H8141 be searched out^H2714. ²⁷For he maketh small^H1639 the drops^H5198 of water^H4325: they pour down^H2212 rain^H4306 according to the vapour^H0108 thereof: ²⁸Which the clouds^H7834 do drop^H5140 and distil^H7491 upon man^H0120 abundantly^H7227. ²⁹Also can any understand^H0995 the spreadings^H4666 of the clouds^H5645, or the noise^H8663 of his tabernacle^H5521? ³⁰Behold, he spreadeth^H6566 his light^H0216 upon it, and covereth^H3680 the bottom^H8328 of the sea^H3220. ³¹For by them judgeth^H1777 he the people^H5971; he giveth^H5414 meat^H0400 in abundance^H4342. ³²With clouds^H3709 he covereth^H3680 the light^H0216; and commandeth^H6680 it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt^H6293. ³³The noise^H7452 thereof sheweth^H5046 concerning it, the cattle^H4735 also concerning the vapour^H5927.

Job: Chapter 37

¹At this^H2063 also my heart^H3820 trembleth^H2729, and is moved out^H5425 of his place^H4725. ²Hear^H8085 attentively^H8085 the noise^H7267 of his voice^H6963, and the sound^H1899 that goeth out^H3318 of his mouth^H6310. ³He directeth^H3474 it^H8281 under the whole heaven^H8064, and his lightning^H0216 unto the ends^H3671 of the earth^H0776. ⁴After^H0310 it a voice^H6963 roareth^H7580: he thundereth^H7481 with the voice^H6963 of his excellency^H1347; and he will not stay^H6117 them when his voice^H6963 is heard^H8085. ⁵God^H0410 thundereth^H7481 marvellously^H6381 with his voice^H6963; great things^H1419 doeth^H6213 he, which we cannot comprehend^H3045.

⁶For he saith^H0559 to the snow^H7950, Be thou^H1933 on the earth^H0776; likewise to the small^H4306 rain^H1653, and to the great^H4306 rain^H1653 of his strength^H5797. ⁷He sealeth up^H2856 the hand^H3027 of every man^H0120; that all men^H0582 may know^H3045 his work^H4639. ⁸Then the beasts^H2416 go^H0935 into^H1119 dens^H0695, and remain^H7931 in their places^H4585. ⁹Out of the south^H2315 cometh^H0935 the whirlwind^H5492: and cold^H7135 out of the north^H4215. ¹⁰By the breath^H5397 of God^H0410 frost^H7140 is given^H5414: and the breadth^H7341 of the waters^H4325 is straitened^H4164. ¹¹Also by watering^H7377 he wearieth^H2959 the thick cloud^H5645: he scattereth^H6327 his bright^H0216 cloud^H6051: ¹²And it is turned^H2015 round about^H4524 by his counsels^H8458: that they may do^H6467 whatsoever he commandeth^H6680 them upon the face^H6440 of the world^H8398 in the earth^H0776. ¹³He causeth it to come^H4672, whether for correction^H7626, or for his land^H0776, or for mercy^H2617.

¹⁴Hearken^H0238 unto this, O Job^H0347: stand still^H5975, and consider^H0995 the wondrous^H6381 works of God^H0410. ¹⁵Dost thou know^H3045 when God^H0433 disposed^H7760 them, and caused the light^H0216 of his cloud^H6051 to shine^H3313? ¹⁶Dost thou know^H3045 the balancings^H4657 of the clouds^H5645, the wondrous works^H4652 of him which is perfect^H8549 in knowledge^H1843? ¹⁷How thy garments^H0899 are warm^H2525, when he quieteth^H8252 the earth^H0776 by the south^H1864 wind ? ¹⁸Hast thou with him spread out^H7554 the sky^H7834, which is strong^H2389, and as a molten^H3332 looking glass^H7209? ¹⁹Teach^H3045 us what we shall say^H0559 unto him; for we cannot order^H6186 our speech by reason^H6440 of darkness^H2822. ²⁰Shall it be told^H5608 him that I speak^H1696? if a man^H0376 speak^H0559, surely he shall be swallowed up^H1104.

²¹And now men see^H7200 not the bright^H0925 light^H0216 which is in the clouds^H7834: but the wind^H7307 passeth^H5674, and cleanseth^H2891 them. ²²Fair weather^H2091 cometh^H0857 out of the north^H6828: with God^H0433 is terrible^H3372 majesty^H1935. ²³ Touching the Almighty^H7706, we cannot find him out^H4672: he is excellent^H7689 in power^H3581, and in judgment^H4941, and in plenty^H7230 of justice^H6666: he will not afflict^H6031. ²⁴Men^H0582 do therefore fear^H3372 him: he respecteth^H7200 not any that are wise^H2450 of heart^H3820.

Job: Chapter 38

¹Then the LORD^H3068 answered^H6030 Job^H0347 out of the whirlwind^H5591, and said^H0559, ²Who is this that darkeneth^H2821 counsel^H6098 by words^H4405 without knowledge^H1847? ³Gird up^H0247 now thy loins^H2504 like a man^H1397; for I will demand^H7592 of thee, and answer^H3045 thou me.

⁴Where^H0375 wast thou when I laid the foundations^H3245 of the earth^H0776? declare^H5046, if thou hast^H3045 understanding^H0998. ⁵Who hath laid^H7760 the measures^H4461 thereof, if thou knowest^H3045? or who hath stretched^H5186 the line^H6957 upon it? ⁶Whereupon are the foundations^H0134 thereof fastened^H2883? or who laid^H3384 the corner^H6438 stone^H0068 thereof; ⁷When the morning^H1242 stars^H3556 sang^H7442 together^H3162, and all the sons^H1121 of God^H0430 shouted^H7321 for joy? ⁸Or who shut up^H5526 the sea^H3220 with doors^H1817, when it brake forth^H1518, as if it had issued out^H3318 of the womb^H7358? ⁹When I made^H7760 the cloud^H6051 the garment^H3830 thereof, and thick darkness^H6205 a swaddlingband^H2854 for it, ¹⁰And brake up^H7665 for it my decreed^H2706 place , and set^H7760 bars^H1280 and doors^H1817, ¹¹And said^H0559, Hitherto^H5704 shalt thou come^H0935, but no further^H3254: and here shall thy proud^H1347 waves^H1530 be stayed^H7896?

¹²Hast thou commanded^H6680 the morning^H1242 since thy days^H3117; and caused the dayspring^H7837 to know^H3045 his place^H4725; ¹³That it might take hold^H0270 of the ends^H3671 of the earth^H0776, that the wicked^H7563 might be shaken out^H5287 of it? ¹⁴It is turned^H2015 as clay^H2563 to the seal^H2368; and they stand^H3320 as a garment^H3830. ¹⁵And from the wicked^H7563 their light^H0216 is withholden^H4513, and the high^H7311 arm^H2220 shall be broken^H7665. ¹⁶Hast thou entered^H0935 into the springs^H5033 of the sea^H3220? or hast thou walked^H1980 in the search^H2714 of the depth^H8415? ¹⁷Have the gates^H8179 of death^H4194 been opened^H1540 unto thee? or hast thou seen^H7200 the doors^H8179 of the shadow of death^H6757? ¹⁸Hast thou perceived^H0995 the breadth^H7338 of the earth^H0776? declare^H5046 if thou knowest^H3045 it all. ¹⁹Where is the way^H1870 where light^H0216 dwelleth^H7931? and as for darkness^H2822, where is the place^H4725 thereof, ²⁰That thou shouldest take^H3947 it to the bound^H1366 thereof, and that thou shouldest know^H0995 the paths^H5410 to the house^H1004 thereof? ²¹Knowest^H3045 thou it , because thou wast then born^H3205? or because the number^H4557 of thy days^H3117 is great^H7227? ²²Hast thou entered^H0935 into the treasures^H0214 of the snow^H7950? or hast thou seen^H7200 the treasures^H0214 of the hail^H1259, ²³Which I have reserved^H2820 against the time^H6256 of trouble^H6862, against the day^H3117 of battle^H7128 and war^H4421? ²⁴By what^H0335 way^H1870 is the light^H0216 parted^H2505, which scattereth^H6327 the east wind^H6921 upon the earth^H0776?

²⁵Who hath divided^H6385 a watercourse^H8585 for the overflowing of waters^H7858, or a way^H1870 for the lightning^H2385 of thunder^H6963; ²⁶To cause it to rain^H4305 on the earth^H0776, where no man^H0376 is; on the wilderness^H4057, wherein there is no man^H0120; ²⁷To satisfy^H7646 the desolate^H7722 and waste^H4875 ground; and to cause the bud^H4161 of the tender herb^H1877 to spring forth^H6779? ²⁸Hath^H3426 the rain^H4306 a father^H0001? or who hath begotten^H3205 the drops^H0096 of dew^H2919? ²⁹Out of whose womb^H0990 came^H3318 the ice^H7140? and the hoary frost^H3713 of heaven^H8064, who hath gendered^H3205 it? ³⁰The waters^H4325 are hid^H2244 as is);"> with a stone^H0068, and the face^H6440 of the deep^H8415 is frozen^H3920. ³¹Canst thou bind^H7194 the sweet influences^H4575 of Pleiades^H3598, or loose^H6605 the bands^H4189 of Orion^H3685? ³²Canst thou bring forth^H3318 Mazzaroth^H4216 in his season^H6256? or canst thou guide^H5148 Arcturus^H5906 with his sons^H1121? ³³Knowest^H3045 thou the ordinances^H2708 of heaven^H8064? canst thou set^H7760 the dominion^H4896 thereof in the earth^H0776? ³⁴Canst thou lift up^H7311 thy voice^H6963 to the clouds^H5645, that abundance^H8229 of waters^H4325 may cover^H3680 thee? ³⁵Canst thou send^H7971 lightnings^H1300, that they may go^H3212, and say^H0559 unto thee, Here we are ? ³⁶Who hath put^H7896 wisdom^H2451 in the inward parts^H2910? or who hath given^H5414 understanding^H0998 to the heart^H7907? ³⁷Who can number^H5608 the clouds^H7834 in wisdom^H2451? or who can stay^H7901 the bottles^H5035 of heaven^H8064, ³⁸When the dust^H6083 groweth^H3332 into hardness^H4165, and the clods^H7263 cleave fast together^H1692? ³⁹Wilt thou hunt^H6679 the prey^H2964 for the lion^H3833? or fill^H4390 the appetite^H2416 of the young lions^H3715, ⁴⁰When they couch^H7817 in their dens^H4585, and abide^H3427 in the covert^H5521 to^H3926 lie in wait^H0695? ⁴¹Who provideth^H3559 for the raven^H6158 his food^H6718? when his young ones^H3206 cry^H7768 unto God^H0410, they wander^H8582 for lack^H1097 of meat^H0400.

Job: Chapter 39

¹Knowest^H3045 thou the time^H6256 when the wild goats^H3277 of the rock^H5553 bring forth^H3205? or canst thou mark^H8104 when the hinds^H0355 do calve^H2342? ²Canst thou number^H5608 the months^H3391 that they fulfil^H4390? or knowest^H3045 thou the time^H6256 when they bring forth^H3205? ³They bow^H3766 themselves, they bring forth^H6398 their young ones^H3206, they cast out^H7971 their sorrows^H2256. ⁴Their young ones^H1121 are in good liking^H2492, they grow up^H7235 with corn^H1250; they go forth^H3318, and return^H7725 not unto them. ⁵Who hath sent out^H7971 the wild ass^H6501 free^H2670? or who hath loosed^H6605 the bands^H4147 of the wild ass^H6171? ⁶Whose house^H1004 I have made^H7760 the wilderness^H6160, and the barren^H4420 land his dwellings^H4908. ⁷He scorneth^H7832 the multitude^H1995 of the city^H7151, neither regardeth^H8085 he the crying^H8663 of the driver^H5065. ⁸The range^H3491 of the mountains^H2022 is his pasture^H4829, and he searcheth^H1875 after^H0310 every green thing^H3387. ⁹Will the unicorn^H7214 be willing^H0014 to serve^H5647 thee, or abide^H3885 by thy crib^H0018? ¹⁰Canst thou bind^H7194 the unicorn^H7214 with his band^H5688 in the furrow^H8525? or will he harrow^H7702 the valleys^H6010 after^H0310 thee? ¹¹Wilt thou trust^H0982 him, because his strength^H3581 is great^H7227? or wilt thou leave^H5800 thy labour^H3018 to him? ¹²Wilt thou believe^H0539 him, that he will bring home^H7725 thy seed^H2233, and gather^H0622 it into thy barn^H1637?

¹³ Gavest thou the goodly^H7443 wings^H3671 unto the peacocks^H5965? or wings^H0084 and feathers^H2624 unto the ostrich^H5133? ¹⁴Which leaveth^H5800 her eggs^H1000 in the earth^H0776, and warmeth^H2552 them in dust^H6083, ¹⁵And forgetteth^H7911 that the foot^H7272 may crush^H2115 them, or that the wild^H7704 beast^H2416 may break^H1758 them. ¹⁶She is hardened^H7188 against her young ones^H1121, as though they were not^H3808 hers: her labour^H3018 is in vain^H7385 without fear^H6343; ¹⁷Because God^H0433 hath deprived^H5382 her of wisdom^H2451, neither hath he imparted^H2505 to her understanding^H0998. ¹⁸What time^H6256 she lifteth up^H4754 herself on high^H4791, she scorneth^H7832 the horse^H5483 and his rider^H7392.

¹⁹Hast thou given^H5414 the horse^H5483 strength^H1369? hast thou clothed^H3847 his neck^H6677 with thunder^H7483? ²⁰Canst thou make him afraid^H7493 as a grasshopper^H0697? the glory^H1935 of his nostrils^H5170 is terrible^H0367. ²¹He paweth^H2658 in the valley^H6010, and rejoiceth^H7797 in his strength^H3581: he goeth on^H3318 to meet^H7125 the armed men^H5402. ²²He mocketh^H7832 at fear^H6343, and is not affrighted^H2865; neither turneth he back^H7725 from^H6440 the sword^H2719. ²³The quiver^H0827 rattleth^H7439 against him, the glittering^H3851 spear^H2595 and the shield^H3591. ²⁴He swalloweth^H1572 the ground^H0776 with fierceness^H7494 and rage^H7267: neither believeth^H0539 he that it is the sound^H6963 of the trumpet^H7782. ²⁵He saith^H0559 among^H1767 the trumpets^H7782, Ha^H1889, ha^H1889; and he smelleth^H7306 the battle^H4421 afar off^H7350, the thunder^H7482 of the captains^H8269, and the shouting^H8643.

²⁶Doth the hawk^H5322 fly^H0082 by thy wisdom^H0998, and stretch^H6566 her wings^H3671 toward the south^H8486? ²⁷Doth the eagle^H5404 mount up^H1361 at thy command^H6310, and make^H7311 her nest^H7064 on high^H7311? ²⁸She dwelleth^H7931 and abideth^H3885 on the rock^H5553, upon the crag^H8127 of the rock^H5553, and the strong place^H4686. ²⁹From thence she seeketh^H2658 the prey^H0400, and her eyes^H5869 behold^H5027 afar off^H7350. ³⁰Her young ones^H0667 also suck up^H5966 blood^H1818: and where the slain^H2491 are , there is she^H1931.

Job: Chapter 40

¹Moreover the LORD^H3068 answered^H6030 Job^H0347, and said^H0559, ²Shall he that contendeth^H7378 with the Almighty^H7706 instruct^H3250 him ? he that reproveth^H3198 God^H0433, let him answer^H6030 it.

³Then Job^H0347 answered^H6030 the LORD^H3068, and said^H0559, ⁴Behold, I am vile^H7043; what shall I answer^H7725 thee? I will lay^H7760 mine hand^H3027 upon^H3926 my mouth^H6310. ⁵Once^H0259 have I spoken^H1696; but I will not answer^H6030: yea, twice^H8147; but I will proceed no further^H3254.

⁶Then answered^H6030 the LORD^H3068 unto Job^H0347 out of the whirlwind^H5591, and said^H0559, ⁷Gird up^H0247 thy loins^H2504 now like a man^H1397: I will demand^H7592 of thee, and declare^H3045 thou unto me. ⁸Wilt thou also disannul^H6565 my judgment^H4941? wilt thou condemn^H7561 me, that thou mayest be righteous^H6663? ⁹Hast thou an arm^H2220 like God^H0410? or canst thou thunder^H7481 with a voice^H6963 like him? ¹⁰Deck^H5710 thyself now with majesty^H1347 and excellency^H1363; and array^H3847 thyself with glory^H1935 and beauty^H1926. ¹¹Cast abroad^H6327 the rage^H5678 of thy wrath^H0639: and behold^H7200 every one that is proud^H1343, and abase^H8213 him. ¹²Look^H7200 on every one that is proud^H1343, and bring him low^H3665; and tread down^H1915 the wicked^H7563 in their place. ¹³Hide^H2934 them in the dust^H6083 together^H3162; and bind^H2280 their faces^H6440 in secret^H2934. ¹⁴Then will I also confess^H3034 unto thee that thine own right hand^H3225 can save^H3467 thee.

¹⁵Behold now behemoth^H0930, which I made^H6213 with thee; he eateth^H0398 grass^H2682 as an ox^H1241. ¹⁶Lo now, his strength^H3581 is in his loins^H4975, and his force^H0202 is in the navel^H8306 of his belly^H0990. ¹⁷He moveth^H2654 his tail^H2180 like a cedar^H0730: the sinews^H1517 of his stones^H6344 are wrapped together^H8276. ¹⁸His bones^H6106 are as strong^H0650 pieces of brass^H5154; his bones^H1634 are like bars^H4300 of iron^H1270. ¹⁹He is the chief^H7225 of the ways^H1870 of God^H0410: he that made^H6213 him can make^H5066 his sword^H2719 to approach^H5066 unto him . ²⁰Surely the mountains^H2022 bring him forth^H5375 food^H0944, where all the beasts^H2416 of the field^H7704 play^H7832. ²¹He lieth^H7901 under the shady trees^H6628, in the covert^H5643 of the reed^H7070, and fens^H1207. ²²The shady trees^H6628 cover^H5526 him with their shadow^H6752; the willows^H6155 of the brook^H5158 compass him about^H5437. ²³Behold, he drinketh up^H6231 a river^H5104, and hasteth^H2648 not: he trusteth^H0982 that he can draw up^H1518 Jordan^H3383 into his mouth^H6310. ²⁴He taketh^H3947 it with his eyes^H5869: his nose^H0639 pierceth through^H5344 snares^H4170.

Job: Chapter 41

¹Canst thou draw out^H4900 leviathan^H3882 with an hook^H2443? or his tongue^H3956 with a cord^H2256 which thou lettest down^H8257? ²Canst thou put^H7760 an hook^H0100 into his nose^H0639? or bore^H5344 his jaw^H3895 through with a thorn^H2336? ³Will he make many^H7235 supplications^H8469 unto thee? will he speak^H1696 soft^H7390 words unto thee? ⁴Will he make^H3772 a covenant^H1285 with thee? wilt thou take^H3947 him for a servant^H5650 for ever^H5769? ⁵Wilt thou play^H7832 with him as with a bird^H6833? or wilt thou bind^H7194 him for thy maidens^H5291? ⁶Shall the companions^H2271 make a banquet^H3739 of him? shall they part^H2673 him among the merchants^H3669? ⁷Canst thou fill^H4390 his skin^H5785 with barbed irons^H7905? or his head^H7218 with fish^H1709 spears^H6767? ⁸Lay^H7760 thine hand^H3709 upon him, remember^H2142 the battle^H4421, do no more^H3254. ⁹Behold, the hope^H8431 of him is in vain^H3576: shall not one be cast down^H2904 even at the sight^H4758 of him? ¹⁰None is so fierce^H0393 that dare stir him up^H5782: who then is able to stand^H3320 before^H6440 me?

¹¹Who hath prevented^H6923 me, that I should repay^H7999 him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven^H8064 is mine. ¹²I will not conceal^H2790 his parts^H0907, nor his power^H1369, nor his comely^H2433 proportion^H6187. ¹³Who can discover^H1540 the face^H6440 of his garment^H3830? or who can come^H0935 to him with his double^H3718 bridle^H7448? ¹⁴Who can open^H6605 the doors^H1817 of his face^H6440? his teeth^H8127 are terrible^H0367 round about^H5439. ¹⁵ His scales^H4043 are his pride^H1346, shut up together^H5462 as with a close^H6862 seal^H2368. ¹⁶One^H0259 is so near^H5066 to another^H0259, that no air^H7307 can come^H0935 between them. ¹⁷They are joined^H1692 one^H0376 to another^H0251, they stick together^H3920, that they cannot be sundered^H6504. ¹⁸By his neesings^H5846 a light^H0216 doth shine^H1984, and his eyes^H5869 are like the eyelids^H6079 of the morning^H7837. ¹⁹Out of his mouth^H6310 go^H1980 burning lamps^H3940, and sparks^H3590 of fire^H0784 leap out^H4422. ²⁰Out of his nostrils^H5156 goeth^H3318 smoke^H6227, as out of a seething^H5301 pot^H1731 or caldron^H0100. ²¹His breath^H5315 kindleth^H3857 coals^H1513, and a flame^H3851 goeth out^H3318 of his mouth^H6310. ²²In his neck^H6677 remaineth^H3885 strength^H5797, and sorrow^H1670 is turned into joy^H1750 before^H6440 him. ²³The flakes^H4651 of his flesh^H1320 are joined together^H1692: they are firm^H3332 in themselves; they cannot be moved^H4131. ²⁴His heart^H3820 is as firm^H3332 as a stone^H0068; yea, as hard^H3332 as a piece^H6400 of the nether^H8482 millstone . ²⁵When he raiseth up^H7613 himself, the mighty^H0352 are afraid^H1481: by reason of breakings^H7667 they purify^H2398 themselves. ²⁶The sword^H2719 of him that layeth^H5381 at him cannot hold^H6965: the spear^H2595, the dart^H4551, nor the habergeon^H8302. ²⁷He esteemeth^H2803 iron^H1270 as straw^H8401, and brass^H5154 as rotten^H7539 wood^H6086. ²⁸The arrow^H1121 cannot make him flee^H1272: slingstones^H0068 are turned^H2015 with him into stubble^H7179. ²⁹Darts^H8455 are counted^H2803 as stubble^H7179: he laugheth^H7832 at the shaking^H7494 of a spear^H3591. ³⁰Sharp^H2303 stones^H2789 are under him: he spreadeth^H7502 sharp pointed things^H2742 upon the mire^H2916. ³¹He maketh the deep^H4688 to boil^H7570 like a pot^H5518: he maketh^H7760 the sea^H3220 like a pot of ointment^H4841. ³²He maketh a path^H5410 to shine^H0215 after^H0310 him; one would think^H2803 the deep^H8415 to be hoary^H7872. ³³Upon earth^H6083 there is not his like^H4915, who is made^H6213 without^H1097 fear^H2844. ³⁴He beholdeth^H7200 all high^H1364 things: he is a king^H4428 over all the children^H1121 of pride^H7830.

Job: Chapter 42

¹Then Job^H0347 answered^H6030 the LORD^H3068, and said^H0559, ²I know^H3045 that thou canst do^H3201 every thing , and that no thought^H4209 can be withholden^H1219 from thee. ³Who is he that hideth^H5956 counsel^H6098 without knowledge^H1847? therefore have I uttered^H5046 that I understood^H0995 not; things too wonderful^H6381 for me, which I knew^H3045 not. ⁴Hear^H8085, I beseech thee, and I will speak^H1696: I will demand^H7592 of thee, and declare^H3045 thou unto me. ⁵I have heard^H8085 of thee by the hearing^H8088 of the ear^H0241: but now mine eye^H5869 seeth^H7200 thee. ⁶Wherefore I abhor^H3988 myself , and repent^H5162 in dust^H6083 and ashes^H0665.

⁷And it was so , that after^H0310 the LORD^H3068 had spoken^H1696 these words^H1697 unto Job^H0347, the LORD^H3068 said^H0559 to Eliphaz^H0464 the Temanite^H8489, My wrath^H0639 is kindled^H2734 against thee, and against thy two^H8147 friends^H7453: for ye have not spoken^H1696 of me the thing that is right^H3559, as my servant^H5650 Job^H0347 hath . ⁸Therefore take^H3947 unto you now seven^H7651 bullocks^H6499 and seven^H7651 rams^H0352, and go^H3212 to my servant^H5650 Job^H0347, and offer up^H5927 for yourselves a burnt offering^H5930; and my servant^H5650 Job^H0347 shall pray^H6419 for you: for him^H6440 will I accept^H5375: lest I deal^H6213 with you after your folly^H5039, in that ye have not spoken^H1696 of me the thing which is right^H3559, like my servant^H5650 Job^H0347. ⁹So Eliphaz^H0464 the Temanite^H8489 and Bildad^H1085 the Shuhite^H7747 and Zophar^H6691 the Naamathite^H5284 went^H3212, and did^H6213 according as the LORD^H3068 commanded^H1696 them: the LORD^H3068 also accepted^H5375 Job^H6440.

¹⁰And the LORD^H3068 turned^H7725 the captivity^H7622 of Job^H0347, when he prayed^H6419 for his friends^H7453: also the LORD^H3068 gave^H3254 Job^H0347 twice as much^H4932 as he had before. ¹¹Then came^H0935 there unto him all his brethren^H0251, and all his sisters^H0269, and all they that had been of his acquaintance^H3045 before^H6440, and did eat^H0398 bread^H3899 with him in his house^H1004: and they bemoaned^H5110 him, and comforted^H5162 him over all the evil^H7451 that the LORD^H3068 had brought^H0935 upon him: every man^H0376 also gave^H5414 him a^H0259 piece of money^H7192, and every one^H0376 an earring^H5141 of gold^H2091. ¹²So the LORD^H3068 blessed^H1288 the latter end^H0319 of Job^H0347 more than his beginning^H7225: for he had fourteen^H0702 thousand^H0505 sheep^H6629, and six^H8337 thousand^H0505 camels^H1581, and a thousand^H0505 yoke^H6776 of oxen^H1241, and a thousand^H0505 she asses^H0860. ¹³He had also seven^H7658 sons^H1121 and three^H7969 daughters^H1323. ¹⁴And he called^H7121 the name^H8034 of the first^H0259, Jemima^H3224; and the name^H8034 of the second^H8145, Kezia^H7103; and the name^H8034 of the third^H7992, Keren-happuch^H7163. ¹⁵And in all the land^H0776 were no women^H0802 found^H4672 so fair^H3303 as the daughters^H1323 of Job^H0347: and their father^H0001 gave^H5414 them inheritance^H5159 among^H8432 their brethren^H0251. ¹⁶After^H0310 this lived^H2421 Job^H0347 an hundred^H3967 and forty^H0705 years^H8141, and saw^H7200 his sons^H1121, and his sons^H1121 sons^H1121, even four^H0702 generations^H1755. ¹⁷So Job^H0347 died^H4191, being old^H2205 and full^H7649 of days^H3117.
