Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Iob, and that man was perfect and vpright, and one that feared God, and eschewed euill.
Job 1:2 And there were borne vnto him seuen sonnes, and three daughters.
Job 1:3 His substance also was seuen thousand sheepe, and three thousand camels, and fiue hundred yoke of oxen, and fiue hundred shee asses, and a very great houshold; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the East.
Job 1:4 And his sonnes went and feasted in their houses, euery one his day, and sent and called for their three sisters, to eate and to drinke with them.
Job 1:5 And it was so, when the dayes of their feasting were gone about, that Iob sent and sanctified them, and rose vp early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: For Iob said, It may be that my sonnes haue sinned, and cursed God in their hearts: Thus did Iob continually.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day, when the sons of God came to present themselues before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.
Job 1:7 And the Lord said vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? Then Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking vp and downe in it.
Job 1:8 And the Lord sayd vnto Satan, Hast thou considered my seruant Iob, that there is none like him in the earth? A perfect and an vpright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill?
Job 1:9 Then Satan answered ye Lord, and sayd, Doeth Iob feare God for nought?
Job 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on euery side? Thou hast blessed the worke of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
Job 1:11 But put foorth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job 1:12 And the Lord said vnto Satan, Behold, all that hee hath is in thy power, onely vpon himselfe put not foorth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.
Job 1:13 And there was a day, when his sonnes and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house:
Job 1:14 And there came a messenger vnto Iob, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them,
Job 1:15 And the Sabeans fell vpon them, and tooke them away: yea they haue slaine the seruants with the edge of the sword, and I onely am escaped alone, to tell thee.
Job 1:16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heauen, and hath burnt vp the sheepe, and the seruants, and consumed them, and I onely am escaped alone, to tell thee.
Job 1:17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Caldeans made out three bands, and fell vpon the camels, and haue caried them away, yea, and slaine the seruants with the edge of the sword, and I onely am escaped alone, to tell thee.
Job 1:18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, & said, Thy sonnes, and thy daughters, were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house.
Job 1:19 And beholde, there came a great winde from the wildernes, and smote the foure corners of the house, and it fell vpon the yong men, and they are dead, and I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.
Job 1:20 Then Iob arose, and rent his mantle, and shaued his head, and fell downe vpon the ground and worshipped,
Job 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mothers wombe, and naked shall I returne thither: the Lord gaue, and the Lord hath taken away, blessed be the Name of the Lord.
Job 1:22 In all this Iob sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Job 2:1 Againe there was a day when the sonnes of God came to present themselues before the Lord, and Satan came also among them to present himselfe before the Lord.
Job 2:2 And the Lord said vnto Satan, From whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to & fro in the earth, and from walking vp and downe in it.
Job 2:3 And the Lord said vnto Satan, Hast thou considered my seruant Iob, that there is none like him in the earth; a perfect and an vpright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill? and still hee holdeth fast his integritie, although thou moouedst mee against him, to destroy him without cause.
Job 2:4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skinne for skinne, yea all that a man hath, wil he giue for his life.
Job 2:5 But put foorth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
Job 2:6 And the Lord said vnto Satan, Behold, hee is in thine hand, but saue his life.
Job 2:7 So went Satan foorth from the presence of the Lord, and smote Iob with sore biles, from the sole of his foote vnto his crowne.
Job 2:8 And hee tooke him a potsheard to scrape himselfe withall; and hee sate downe among the ashes.
Job 2:9 Then saide his wife vnto him, Doest thou still reteine thine integritie? Curse God, and die.
Job 2:10 But he said vnto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh; what? shall wee receiue good at the hand of God, and shall wee not receiue euill? In all this did not Iob sinne with his lippes.
Job 2:11 Now when Iobs three friends heard of all this euill, that was come vpon him, they came euery one from his owne place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had made an appointment together to come to mourne with him, and to comfort him.
Job 2:12 And when they lift vp their eyes afarre off, and knew him not, they lifted vp their voice, and wept; and they rent euery one his mantle, and sprinckled dust vpon their heades toward heauen.
Job 2:13 So they sate downe with him vpon the ground seuen dayes, and seuen nights, and none spake a word vnto him; for they saw that his griefe was very great.
Job 3:1 After this, opened Iob his mouth, and cursed his day.
Job 3:2 And Iob spake, and said,
Job 3:3 Let the day perish, wherein I was borne, and the night in which it was said, There is a man-childe conceiued.
Job 3:4 Let that day bee darkenesse, let not God regard it from aboue, neither let the light shine vpon it.
Job 3:5 Let darkenes and the shadowe of death staine it, let a cloud dwell vpon it, let the blacknes of the day terrifie it.
Job 3:6 As for that night, let darkenesse seaze vpon it, let it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeere, let it not come into the number of the moneths.
Job 3:7 Loe, let that night be solitarie, let no ioyfull voice come therein.
Job 3:8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise vp their mourning.
Job 3:9 Let the starres of the twilight thereof be darke, let it looke for light, but haue none, neither let it see the dawning of the day:
Job 3:10 Because it shut not vp the doores of my mothers wombe, nor hid sorrowe from mine eyes.
Job 3:11 Why died I not from the wombe? why did I not giue vp the ghost when I came out of the bellie?
Job 3:12 Why did the knees preuent mee? or why the breasts, that I should sucke?
Job 3:13 For now should I haue lien still and beene quiet, I should haue slept; then had I bene at rest,
Job 3:14 With Kings and counsellers of the earth, which built desolate places for themselues,
Job 3:15 Or with Princes that had golde, who filled their houses with siluer:
Job 3:16 Or as an hidden vntimely birth, I had not bene; as infants which neuer saw light.
Job 3:17 There the wicked cease from troubling: and there the wearie be at rest.
Job 3:18 There the prisoners rest together, they heare not the voice of the oppressour.
Job 3:19 The small and great are there, and the seruant is free from his master.
Job 3:20 Wherefore is light giuen to him that is in misery, and life vnto the bitter in soule?
Job 3:21 Which long for death, but it commeth not, and dig for it more then for hid treasures:
Job 3:22 Which reioice exceedingly, and are glad when they can finde the graue?
Job 3:23 Why is light giuen to a man, whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
Job 3:24 For my sighing commeth before I eate, and my roarings are powred out like the waters.
Job 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come vpon me, and that which I was afraid of, is come vnto me.
Job 3:26 I was not in safetie, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet: yet trouble came.
Job 4:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,
Job 4:2 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieued? But who can withhold himselfe from speaking?
Job 4:3 Beholde, Thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weake hands.
Job 4:4 Thy words haue vpholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.
Job 4:5 But now it is come vpon thee, and thou faintest, it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
Job 4:6 Is not this thy feare, thy confidence; the vprightnesse of thy wayes and thy hope?
Job 4:7 Remember, I pray thee, who euer perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
Job 4:8 Euen as I haue seene, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickednsse, reape the same.
Job 4:9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
Job 4:10 The roaring of the Lyon, and the voice of the fierce Lyon, and the teeth of the yong Lyons are broken.
Job 4:11 The old Lyon perisheth for lacke of pray, and the stout Lyons whelpes are scattered abroad.
Job 4:12 Nowe a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine eare receiued a litle thereof.
Job 4:13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deepe sleepe falleth on men:
Job 4:14 Feare came vpon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
Job 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face: the haire of my flesh stood vp.
Job 4:16 It stood still, but I could not discerne the forme thereof: an image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voyce, saying,
Job 4:17 Shall mortall man be more iust then God? shall a man bee more pure then his maker?
Job 4:18 Behold, hee put no trust in his seruants; and his Angels hee charged with folly:
Job 4:19 Howe much lesse on them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth.
Job 4:20 They are destroyed from morning to euening: they perish for euer, without any regarding it.
Job 4:21 Doeth not their excellencie which is in them, goe away? they die, euen without wisedome.
Job 5:1 Call now, if there be any that wil answere thee, and to which of the Saints wilt thou turne?
Job 5:2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and enuy slayeth the silly one.
Job 5:3 I haue seene the foolish taking roote: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
Job 5:4 His children are farre from safetie, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliuer them.
Job 5:5 Whose haruest the hungry eateth vp, and taketh it euen out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth vp their substance.
Job 5:6 Although affliction commeth not forth of the dust, neither doeth trouble spring out of the ground:
Job 5:7 Yet man is borne vnto trouble, as the sparkes flie vpward.
Job 5:8 I would seeke vnto God, and vnto God would I commit my cause:
Job 5:9 Which doth great things & vnsearchable: marueilous things without number.
Job 5:10 Who giueth raine vpon the earth, and sendeth waters vpon the fields:
Job 5:11 To set vp on high those that be low; that those which mourne, may be exalted to safetie.
Job 5:12 Hee disappointeth the deuices of the craftie, so that their hands cannot performe their enterprise.
Job 5:13 He taketh the wise in their owne craftinesse: and the counsell of the froward is caried headlong.
Job 5:14 They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope in the noone day as in the night.
Job 5:15 But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mightie.
Job 5:16 So the poore hath hope, and iniquitie stoppeth her mouth.
Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almightie.
Job 5:18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth vp: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
Job 5:19 Hee shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, yea in seuen there shall no euill touch thee.
Job 5:20 In famine he shall redeeme thee from death: and in warre from the power of the sword.
Job 5:21 Thou shalt be hidde from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction, when it commeth.
Job 5:22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
Job 5:23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
Job 5:24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall bee in peace; and thou shalt visite thy habitation, and shalt not sinne.
Job 5:25 Thou shalt know also that thy seede shalbe great, and thine offspring as the grasse of the earth.
Job 5:26 Thou shalt come to thy graue in a full age, like as a shocke of corne commeth in, in his season.
Job 5:27 Loe this, wee haue searched it, so it is; heare it, and know thou it for thy good.
Job 6:1 But Iob answered, and sayd,
Job 6:2 Oh that my griefe were throughly weighed, and my calamitie layd in the balances together.
Job 6:3 For now it would be heauier then the sand of the sea, therefore my words are swallowed vp.
Job 6:4 For the arrowes of the Almightie are within me, the poyson whereof drinketh vp my spirit: the terrors of God doe set themselues in aray against mee.
Job 6:5 Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe ouer his fodder?
Job 6:6 Can that which is vnsauery, bee eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egge?
Job 6:7 The things that my soule refused to touch, are as my sorrowfull meat.
Job 6:8 O that I might haue my request! and that God would graunt mee the thing that I long for!
Job 6:9 Euen that it would please God to destroy mee, that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off.
Job 6:10 Then should I yet haue comfort, yea I would harden my selfe in sorrow; let him not spare, for I haue not concealed the words of the holy One.
Job 6:11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine ende, that I should prolong my life?
Job 6:12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brasse?
Job 6:13 Is not my helpe in me? and is wisedome driuen quite from me?
Job 6:14 To him that is afflicted, pitie should be shewed from his friend; But he forsaketh the feare of the Almighty.
Job 6:15 My brethren haue delt deceitfully as a brooke, & as the streame of brookes they passe away,
Job 6:16 Which are blackish by reason of the yce, and wherein the snow is hid:
Job 6:17 What time they waxe warme, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
Job 6:18 The pathes of their way are turned aside; they goe to nothing, and perish.
Job 6:19 The troupes of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
Job 6:20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
Job 6:21 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting downe, and are afraid.
Job 6:22 Did I say, Bring vnto mee? or giue a reward for me of your substance?
Job 6:23 Or deliuer me from the enemies hand, or redeeme me from the hand of the mighty?
Job 6:24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause mee to vnderstand wherein I haue erred.
Job 6:25 How forcible are right wordes? but what doeth your arguing reproue?
Job 6:26 Do ye imagine to reproue words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as winde?
Job 6:27 Yea, ye ouerwhelme the fatherlesse, and you digge a pit for your friend.
Job 6:28 Now therefore be content, looke vpon mee, for it is euident vnto you, if I lie.
Job 6:29 Returne, I pray you, let it not be iniquitie; yea returne againe: my righteousnesse is in it.
Job 6:30 Is there iniquitie in my tongue? cannot my taste discerne peruerse things?
Job 7:1 Is there not an appointed time to man vpon earth? are not his dayes also like the dayes of an hireling?
Job 7:2 As a seruant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling looketh for the reward of his worke:
Job 7:3 So am I made to possesse moneths of vanitie, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
Job 7:4 When I lie downe, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro, vnto the dawning of the day.
Job 7:5 My flesh is cloathed with wormes and clods of dust, my skinne is broken, and become loathsome.
Job 7:6 My dayes are swifter then a weauers shuttle, and are spent without hope.
Job 7:7 O remember that my life is winde: mine eye shall no more see good.
Job 7:8 The eye of him that hath seene me, shall see mee no more: thine eyes are vpon me, and I am not.
Job 7:9 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth downe to the graue, shall come vp no more.
Job 7:10 Hee shall returne no more to his house: neither shall his place know him any more.
Job 7:11 Therefore I will not refraine my mouth, I wil speake in the anguish of my spirit, I will complaine in the bitternesse of my soule.
Job 7:12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch ouer me?
Job 7:13 When I say, My bed shal comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint:
Job 7:14 Then thou skarest mee with dreames, and terrifiest me through visions.
Job 7:15 So that my soule chooseth strangling: and death rather then my life.
Job 7:16 I loath it, I would not liue alway: let me alone, for my dayes are vanitie.
Job 7:17 What is man, that thou shouldest magnifie him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart vpon him?
Job 7:18 And that thou shouldest visite him euery morning, and trie him euery moment?
Job 7:19 How long wilt thou not depart from me? nor let me alone till I swallow downe my spittle?
Job 7:20 I haue sinned, what shall I doe vnto thee, O thou preseruer of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a burden to my selfe?
Job 7:21 And why doest thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquitie? for now shall I sleepe in the dust, and thou shalt seeke me in the morning, but I shall not be.
Job 8:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Job 8:2 How long wilt thou speake these things? and how long shall the wordes of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
Job 8:3 Doth God peruert iudgement? or doth the Almightie peruert iustice?
Job 8:4 If thy children haue sinned against him, and he haue cast them away for their transgression:
Job 8:5 If thou wouldest seeke vnto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almightie:
Job 8:6 If thou wert pure and vpright, surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousnes prosperous.
Job 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
Job 8:8 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thy selfe to the search of their fathers.
Job 8:9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our dayes vpon earth are a shadow.)
Job 8:10 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, & vtter words out of their heart?
Job 8:11 Can the rush growe vp without myre? can the flag growe without water?
Job 8:12 Whilest it is yet in his greennesse, and not cut downe, it withereth before any other herbe.
Job 8:13 So are the paths of all that forget God, and the hypocrites hope shall perish:
Job 8:14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spiders web.
Job 8:15 He shall leane vpon his house, but it shall not stand: he shal hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
Job 8:16 He is greene before the sunne, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
Job 8:17 His roots are wrapped about the heape, and seeth the place of stones.
Job 8:18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shal denie him, saying, I haue not seene thee.
Job 8:19 Beholde, this is the ioy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
Job 8:20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will hee helpe the euill doers:
Job 8:21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with reioycing.
Job 8:22 They that hate thee shall be cloathed with shame, and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
Job 9:1 Then Iob answered, and said,
Job 9:2 I know it is so of a trueth: but howe should man be iust with God.
Job 9:3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answere him one of a thousand.
Job 9:4 He is wise in heart, and mightie in strength: who hath hardened himselfe against him, and hath prospered?
Job 9:5 Which remoueth the mountains, and they know not: which ouerturneth them in his anger:
Job 9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, & the pillars thereof tremble:
Job 9:7 Which commandeth the Sunne, and it riseth not: and sealeth vp the starres.
Job 9:8 Which alone spreadeth out the heauens, and treadeth vpon the waues of the Sea.
Job 9:9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades, and the chambers of the South.
Job 9:10 Which doeth great things past finding out, yea and wonders without number.
Job 9:11 Loe, hee goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceiue him not.
Job 9:12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say vnto him, What doest thou?
Job 9:13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers doe stoupe vnder him.
Job 9:14 How much lesse shall I answere him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
Job 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answere, but I would make supplication to my Iudge.
Job 9:16 If I had called, and had answered me, yet would I not beleeue that he had hearkened vnto my voice:
Job 9:17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
Job 9:18 Hee will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse.
Job 9:19 If I speake of strength, loe, hee is strong: and if of iudgement, who shall set me a time to pleade?
Job 9:20 If I iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne me: If I say, I am perfect, it shall also prooue me peruerse.
Job 9:21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soule: I would despise my life.
Job 9:22 This is one thing, therefore I said it; he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
Job 9:23 If the scourge slay suddenly, hee will laugh at the triall of the innocent.
Job 9:24 The earth is giuen into the hand of the wicked: he couereth the faces of the Iudges thereof; if not, where, and who is hee?
Job 9:25 Now my dayes are swifter then a Poste: they flee away, they see no good.
Job 9:26 They are passed away as the ships: as the Eagle that hasteth to the pray.
Job 9:27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leaue off my heauinesse, and comfort my selfe.
Job 9:28 I am afraid of all my sorrowes, I know that thou wilt not holde me innocent.
Job 9:29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vaine?
Job 9:30 If I wash my selfe with snow water, and make my handes neuer so cleane:
Job 9:31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine owne clothes shall abhorre me.
Job 9:32 For he is not a man as I am, that I should answere him, and we should come together in iudgement.
Job 9:33 Neither is there any dayes-man betwixt vs, that might lay his hand vpon vs both.
Job 9:34 Let him take his rodde away from me, & let not his feare terrifie me:
Job 9:35 Then would I speake, and not feare him; but it is not so with me.
Job 10:1 My soule is weary of my life, I will leaue my complaint vpon my selfe; I will speake in the bitternesse of my soule.
Job 10:2 I will say vnto God, Doe not condemne mee; shewe me wherefore thou contendest with me.
Job 10:3 Is it good vnto thee, that thou shouldest oppresse? that thou shouldest despise the worke of thine hands? and shine vpon the counsell of the wicked?
Job 10:4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
Job 10:5 Are thy dayes as the dayes of man? are thy yeeres as mans dayes,
Job 10:6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquitie, and searchest after my sinne?
Job 10:7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked, and there is none that can deliuer out of thine hand.
Job 10:8 Thine hands haue made me and fashioned me together round about yet thou doest destroy me.
Job 10:9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and wilt thou bring me into dust againe?
Job 10:10 Hast thou not powred me out as milke, and cruddled me like cheese?
Job 10:11 Thou hast cloathed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinewes.
Job 10:12 Thou hast granted me life and fauour, and thy visitation hath preserued my spirit.
Job 10:13 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart; I know that this is with thee.
Job 10:14 If I sinne, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquite me from mine iniquitie.
Job 10:15 If I be wicked, woe vnto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift vp my head: I am full of confusion, therefore see thou mine affliction:
Job 10:16 For it increaseth: thou huntest me as a fierce Lion: and againe thou shewest thy selfe marueilous vpon me.
Job 10:17 Thou renuest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation vpon me; Changes and warre are against me.
Job 10:18 Wherfore then hast thou brought me forth out of the wombe? Oh that I had giuen vp the ghost, and no eye had seene me!
Job 10:19 I should haue bene as though I had not bene, I should haue bene caried from the wombe to the graue.
Job 10:20 Are not my dayes few? cease then, and let me alone that I may take comfort a litle,
Job 10:21 Before I goe whence I shall not returne, euen to the land of darknes and the shadow of death,
Job 10:22 A land of darknes, as darknes it selfe, and of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkenes.
Job 11:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
Job 11:2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should man ful of talke be iustified?
Job 11:3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
Job 11:4 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am cleane in thine eyes.
Job 11:5 But, O that God would speake, and open his lippes against thee,
Job 11:6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisedome, that they are double to that which is: know therefore that God exacteth of thee lesse then thine iniquitie deserueth.
Job 11:7 Canst thou by searching finde out God? canst thou finde out the Almightie vnto perfection?
Job 11:8 It is as high as heauen, what canst thou doe? deeper then hell, what canst thou know?
Job 11:9 The measure therof is longer then the earth, and broader then the sea.
Job 11:10 If he cut off, and shut vp, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
Job 11:11 For, he knoweth vaine men: hee seeth wickednesse also, will he not then consider it?
Job 11:12 For vaine man would be wise; though man be borne like a wilde asses coult.
Job 11:13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him:
Job 11:14 If iniquitie be in thine hand, put it farre away, and let not wickednes dwell in thy tabernacles.
Job 11:15 For then shalt thou lift vp thy face without spot, yea thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not feare:
Job 11:16 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that passe away:
Job 11:17 And thine age shalbe clearer then the noone day; thou shalt shine foorth, thou shalt be as the morning.
Job 11:18 And thou shalt be secure because there is hope, yea thou shalt digge about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
Job 11:19 Also thou shalt lye downe, and none shall make thee afraid; yea many shall make suite vnto thee.
Job 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked shall faile, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giuing vp of the ghost.
Job 12:1 And Iob answered, and sayd,
Job 12:2 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisedome shall die with you.
Job 12:3 But I haue vnderstanding as well as you, I am not inferiour to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
Job 12:4 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he answereth him: the iust vpright man is laughed to scorne.
Job 12:5 He that is ready to slippe with his feet, is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
Job 12:6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that prouoke God are secure, into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
Job 12:7 But aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the foules of the aire, and they shall tell thee.
Job 12:8 Or speake to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare vnto thee.
Job 12:9 Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?
Job 12:10 In whose hand is the soule of euery liuing thing, and the breath of all mankinde.
Job 12:11 Doeth not the eare trie wordes? And the mouth taste his meate?
Job 12:12 With the ancient is wisedome, and in length of dayes, vnderstanding.
Job 12:13 With him is wisedome & strength, he hath counsell and vnderstanding.
Job 12:14 Behold, he breaketh downe, and it cannot be built againe: hee shutteth vp a man, and there can be no opening.
Job 12:15 Behold, hee withholdeth the waters, and they drie vp: also hee sendeth them out, and they ouerturne the earth.
Job 12:16 With him is strength & wisedome: the deceiued, and the deceiuer, are his.
Job 12:17 He leadeth counsellers away spoiled, and maketh the Iudges fooles.
Job 12:18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loines with a girdle.
Job 12:19 He leadeth Princes away spoiled, and ouerthroweth the mightie.
Job 12:20 He remooueth away the speech of the trustie, and taketh away the vnderstanding of the aged.
Job 12:21 He powreth contempt vpon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mightie.
Job 12:22 Hee discouereth deepe things out of darkenesse, and bringeth out to light the shadow of death.
Job 12:23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: hee inlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them againe.
Job 12:24 He taketh away the heart of the chiefe of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wildernes where there is no way.
Job 12:25 They grope in the darke without light, and hee maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
Job 13:1 Loe, mine eye hath seene all this, mine eare hath heard and vnderstood it.
Job 13:2 What yee know, the same doe I know also, I am not inferiour vnto you.
Job 13:3 Surely I would speake to the Almighty, & I desire to reason with God.
Job 13:4 But ye are forgers of lies, yee are all Physicians of no value.
Job 13:5 O that you would altogether hold your peace, & it should be your wisdome.
Job 13:6 Heare now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
Job 13:7 Wil you speake wickedly for God? and talke deceitfully for him?
Job 13:8 Will ye accept his person? Will yee contend for God?
Job 13:9 Is it good that hee should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, doe ye so mocke him?
Job 13:10 He will surely reprooue you, if yee doe secretly accept persons.
Job 13:11 Shall not his excellencie make you afraid? and his dread fall vpon you?
Job 13:12 Your remembrances are like vnto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
Job 13:13 Hold your peace, let me alone that I may speake, and let come on me what will.
Job 13:14 Wherefore doe I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
Job 13:15 Though hee slay mee, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintaine mine owne wayes before him.
Job 13:16 Hee also shall be my saluation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
Job 13:17 Heare diligently my speach, and my declaration with your eares.
Job 13:18 Behold now, I haue ordered my cause, I know that I shall be iustified.
Job 13:19 Who is hee that will plead with me? for now if I hold my tongue, I shall giue vp the ghost.
Job 13:20 Only doe not two things vnto me: then will I not hide my selfe from thee.
Job 13:21 Withdrawe thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make mee afraid.
Job 13:22 Then call thou, and I will answere: or let me speake, and answere thou mee.
Job 13:23 How many are mine iniquities and sinnes? make mee to knowe my transgression, and my sinne.
Job 13:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemie?
Job 13:25 Wilt thou breake a leafe driuen to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble?
Job 13:26 For thou writest bitter things against mee, and makest me to possesse the iniquities of my youth.
Job 13:27 Thou puttest my feete also in the stockes, and lookest narrowly vnto all my pathes; thou settest a print vpon the heeles of my feete.
Job 13:28 And hee, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that is moth-eaten.
Job 14:1 Man that is borne of a woman, is of few dayes, and full of trouble.
Job 14:2 Hee commeth forth like a flower, and is cut downe: he fleeth also, as a shaddow and continueth not.
Job 14:3 And doest thou open thine eies vpon such an one, and bringest me into iudgment with thee?
Job 14:4 Who can bring a cleane thing out of an vncleane? not one.
Job 14:5 Seeing his daies are determined, the number of his moneths are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot passe.
Job 14:6 Turne from him that hee may rest, till he shall accomplish, as an hircling, his day.
Job 14:7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut downe, that it will sprout againe, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
Job 14:8 Though the roote thereof waxe old in the earth, and the stocke thereof die in the ground:
Job 14:9 Yet through the sent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughes like a plant.
Job 14:10 But man dyeth, and wasteth away; yea, man giueth vp the ghost, and where is hee?
Job 14:11 As the waters faile from the sea, and the floud decayeth and dryeth vp:
Job 14:12 So man lyeth downe, and riseth not, till the heauens be no more, they shall not awake; nor bee raised out of their sleepe.
Job 14:13 O that thou wouldest hide mee in the graue, that thou wouldest keepe me secret, vntill thy wrath bee past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me.
Job 14:14 If a man die, shall he liue againe? All the dayes of my appointed time will I waite, till my change come.
Job 14:15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt haue a desire to the worke of thine hands.
Job 14:16 For nowe thou numbrest my steppes, doest thou not watch ouer my sinne?
Job 14:17 My transgression is sealed vp in a bagge, and thou sowest vp mine iniquitie.
Job 14:18 And surely the mountaine falling commeth to nought: and the rocke is remoued out of his place.
Job 14:19 The waters weare the stones, thou washest away the things which growe out of the dust of the earth, and thou destroyest the hope of man.
Job 14:20 Thou preuailest for euer against him, and hee passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
Job 14:21 His sonnes come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought lowe, but he perceiueth it not of them.
Job 14:22 But his flesh vpon him shall haue paine, and his soule within him shall mourne.
Job 15:1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
Job 15:2 Should a wise man vtter vaine knowledge, and fill his belly with the East winde?
Job 15:3 Should hee reason with vnprofitable talke? or with speeches wherewith he can doe no good?
Job 15:4 Yea thou castest off feare, and restrainest prayer before God.
Job 15:5 For thy mouth vttereth thine iniquitie, and thou choosest the tongue of the craftie.
Job 15:6 Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea thine owne lippes testifie against thee.
Job 15:7 Art thou the first man that was borne? or wast thou made before the hilles?
Job 15:8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and doest thou restraine wisedome to thy selfe?
Job 15:9 What knowest thou that we know not? what vnderstandest thou, which is not in vs?
Job 15:10 With vs are both the gray headed, and very aged men, much elder then thy father.
Job 15:11 Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
Job 15:12 Why doeth thine heart carie thee away? and what doe thine eyes winke at,
Job 15:13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words goe out of thy mouth?
Job 15:14 What is man, that he should be cleane? and he which is borne of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Job 15:15 Beholde, he putteth no trust in his Saints, yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight.
Job 15:16 How much more abominable and filthie is man, which drinketh iniquitie like water?
Job 15:17 I will shew thee, heare me, and that which I haue seene, I wil declare,
Job 15:18 Which wise men haue tolde from their fathers, and haue not hid it:
Job 15:19 Unto whom alone the earth was giuen, and no stranger passed among them.
Job 15:20 The wicked man trauaileth with paine all his dayes, and the number of yeeres is hidden to the oppressour.
Job 15:21 A dreadfull sound is in his eares; in prosperitie the destroyer shall come vpon him.
Job 15:22 He beleeueth not that he shall returne out of darkenesse, and he is waited for, of the sword.
Job 15:23 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkenes is ready at his hand.
Job 15:24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall preuaile against him, as a king ready to the battell.
Job 15:25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himselfe against the Almightie.
Job 15:26 He runneth vpon him, euen on his necke, vpon the thicke bosses of his bucklers:
Job 15:27 Because he couereth his face with his fatnesse, and maketh collops of fat on his flankes.
Job 15:28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heapes.
Job 15:29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof vpon the earth.
Job 15:30 He shall not depart out of darkenesse, the flame shall drie vp his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he goe away.
Job 15:31 Let not him that is deceiued, trust in vanitie: for vanitie shalbe his recompence.
Job 15:32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not bee greene.
Job 15:33 He shal shake off his vnripe grape as the Uine, and shall cast off his flowre as the Oliue.
Job 15:34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of briberie.
Job 15:35 They conceiue mischiefe, and bring forth vanitie, and their belly prepareth deceit.
Job 16:1 Then Iob answered, and said,
Job 16:2 I haue heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
Job 16:3 Shall vaine words haue an ende? or what emboldeneth thee, that thou answerest?
Job 16:4 I also could speake as yee doe: if your soule were in my soules stead, I could heape vp words against you, and shake mine head at you.
Job 16:5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the mouing of my lips should asswage your griefe.
Job 16:6 Though I speake, my griefe is not asswaged: and though I forbeare; what am I eased?
Job 16:7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate al my companie.
Job 16:8 And thou hast filled mee with wrinckles, which is a witnesse against me: and my leannesse rising vp in me, beareth witnesse to my face.
Job 16:9 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth vpon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes vpon me.
Job 16:10 They haue gaped vpon me with their mouth, they haue smitten me vpon the cheeke reprochfully, they haue gathered themselues together against mee.
Job 16:11 God hath deliuered me to the vngodly, and turned me ouer into the hands of the wicked.
Job 16:12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my necke, and shaken me to pieces, and set me vp for his marke.
Job 16:13 His archers compasse me round about, he cleaueth my reines asunder, and doeth not spare; he powreth out my gall vpon the ground.
Job 16:14 He breaketh me with breach vpon breach, he runneth vpon me like a giant.
Job 16:15 I haue sowed sackcloth vpon my skin, and defiled my horne in the dust.
Job 16:16 My face is fowle with weeping, and on mine eye-lids is the shadow of death;
Job 16:17 Not for any iniustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
Job 16:18 O earth couer not thou my blood, and let my cry haue no place.
Job 16:19 Also now, behold my witnesse is in heauen, and my record is on high.
Job 16:20 My friends scorne me: but mine eye powreth out teares vnto God.
Job 16:21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour.
Job 16:22 When a few yeeres are come, then I shall goe the way whence I shall not returne.
Job 17:1 My breath is corrupt, my dayes are extinct, the graues are ready for me.
Job 17:2 Are there not mockers with mee? and doeth not mine eye continue in their prouocation?
Job 17:3 Lay downe now, put me in a suretie with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
Job 17:4 For thou hast hid their heart from vnderstanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
Job 17:5 Hee that speaketh flattery to his friends, euen the eyes of his children shall faile.
Job 17:6 He hath made me also a by-word of the people, and afore time I was as a tabret.
Job 17:7 Mine eye also is dimme by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
Job 17:8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stirre vp himselfe against the hypocrite.
Job 17:9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath cleane hands shalbe stronger, and stronger.
Job 17:10 But as for you all, doe you returne, and come now, for I cannot find one wise man among you.
Job 17:11 My dayes are past, my purposes are broken off, euen the thoughts of my heart:
Job 17:12 They change the night into day: the light is short, because of darknes.
Job 17:13 If I waite, the graue is mine house: I haue made my bedde in the darknesse.
Job 17:14 I haue said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worme, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
Job 17:15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
Job 17:16 They shall goe downe to the barres of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
Job 18:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite and said,
Job 18:2 How long will it bee, ere you make an ende of words? Marke, and afterwards we will speake.
Job 18:3 Wherefore are wee counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
Job 18:4 He teareth himselfe in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rocke bee remooued out of his place?
Job 18:5 Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe put out, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.
Job 18:6 The light shalbe darke in his tabernacle, and his candle shalbe put out with him.
Job 18:7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.
Job 18:8 For hee is cast into a net by his owne feete, & he walketh vpon a snare.
Job 18:9 The grinne shall take him by the heele, and the robber shall preuaile against him.
Job 18:10 The snare is laide for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
Job 18:11 Terrours shall make him afraid on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.
Job 18:12 His strength shalbe hunger-bitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
Job 18:13 It shall deuoure the strength of his skinne: euen the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.
Job 18:14 His confidence shalbe rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrours.
Job 18:15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered vpon his habitation.
Job 18:16 His rootes shall be dryed vp beneath: and aboue shall his branch be cut off.
Job 18:17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and hee shall haue no name in the streete.
Job 18:18 He shall be driuen from light into darkenesse, and chased out of the world.
Job 18:19 Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
Job 18:20 They that come after him shalbe astonied at his day, as they that went before, were affrighted.
Job 18:21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
Job 19:1 Then Iob answered, and sayd,
Job 19:2 How long will yee vexe my soule, and breake me in pieces with words?
Job 19:3 These tenne times haue ye reproched me: you are not ashamed that you make your selues strange to me.
Job 19:4 And be it indeed that I haue erred, mine errour remaineth with my selfe.
Job 19:5 If indeed yee will magnifie your selues against me, and plead against me my reproch:
Job 19:6 Know now that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.
Job 19:7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloude, but there is no iudgement.
Job 19:8 Hee hath fenced vp my way that I cannot passe; and hee hath set darkenesse in my pathes.
Job 19:9 Hee hath stript me of my glory, and taken the crowne from my head.
Job 19:10 He hath destroyed me on euery side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he remooued like a tree.
Job 19:11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and hee counteth me vnto him as one of his enemies.
Job 19:12 His troupes come together, and raise vp their way against me, and encampe round about my tabernacle.
Job 19:13 Hee hath put my brethren farre from me, and mine acquaintance are verely estranged from me.
Job 19:14 My kinsefolke haue failed, and my familiar friends haue forgotten me.
Job 19:15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maides count me for a stranger: I am an aliant in their sight.
Job 19:16 I called my seruant, and he gaue me no answere: I intreated him with my mouth.
Job 19:17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the childrens sake of mine owne body.
Job 19:18 Yea, yong children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
Job 19:19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loued, are turned against me.
Job 19:20 My bone cleaueth to my skinne, and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skinne of my teeth.
Job 19:21 Haue pity vpon me, haue pitie vpon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
Job 19:22 Why doe ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
Job 19:23 Oh that my wordes were now written, oh that they were printed in a booke!
Job 19:24 That they were grauen with an iron pen and lead, in the rocke for euer.
Job 19:25 For I know that my Redeemer liueth, and that he shall stand at the latter day, vpon the earth:
Job 19:26 And though after my skin, wormes destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
Job 19:27 Whom I shal see for my selfe, and mine eyes shall beholde, and not another, though my reines bee consumed within me.
Job 19:28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him? seeing the root of the matter is found in me.
Job 19:29 Bee ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that yee may know there is a iudgement.
Job 20:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and saide,
Job 20:2 Therefore doe my thoughts cause mee to answere, and for this I make haste.
Job 20:3 I haue heard the checke of my reproach, and the spirit of my vnderstanding causeth me to answere.
Job 20:4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed vpon earth,
Job 20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the ioy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
Job 20:6 Though his excellencie mount vp to the heauens, and his head reach vnto the clouds:
Job 20:7 Yet he shall perish for euer, like his owne doung: they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is he?
Job 20:8 He shall flie away as a dreame, and shall not be found: yea he shalbe chased away as a vision of the night.
Job 20:9 The eye also which saw him, shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
Job 20:10 His children shall seeke to please the poore, and his hands shall restore their goods.
Job 20:11 His bones are ful of the sinne of his youth, which shall ye downe with him in the dust.
Job 20:12 Though wickednes be sweet in his mouth, though hee hide it vnder his tongue;
Job 20:13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not, but keepe it stil within his mouth:
Job 20:14 Yet his meate in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of Aspes within him.
Job 20:15 He hath swallowed downe riches, and hee shall vomite them vp againe: God shall cast them out of his belly.
Job 20:16 He shall sucke the poison of Aspes: the vipers tongue shall slay him.
Job 20:17 Hee shall not see the riuers, the floods, the brookes of hony and butter.
Job 20:18 That which he laboured for, shall he restore, & shall not swallow it downe: according to his substance shall the restitution bee, and hee shall not reioyce therein.
Job 20:19 Because hee hath oppressed, and hath forsaken the poore; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not:
Job 20:20 Surely he shall not feele quietnesse in his belly, hee shall not saue of that which he desired.
Job 20:21 There shall none of his meat be left, therefore shall no man looke for his goods.
Job 20:22 In the fulnesse of his sufficiencie, he shalbe in straites: euery hand of the wicked shall come vpon him.
Job 20:23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the furie of his wrath vpon him, and shall raine it vpon him while he is eating.
Job 20:24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steele shall strike him through.
Job 20:25 It is drawen, and commeth out of the body; yea the glistering sword commeth out of his gall; terrours are vpon him.
Job 20:26 All darknesse shalbe hid in his secret places: a fire not blowen shall consume him; it shall goe ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
Job 20:27 The heauen shall reueale his iniquitie: and the earth shall rise vp against him.
Job 20:28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
Job 20:29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed vnto him by God.
Job 21:1 But Iob answered, and sayd,
Job 21:2 Heare diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
Job 21:3 Suffer me that I may speake, and after that I haue spoken, mocke on.
Job 21:4 As for mee, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
Job 21:5 Marke mee, and be astonished, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.
Job 21:6 Euen when I remember, I am afraid, and trembling taketh holde on my flesh.
Job 21:7 Wherefore doe the wicked liue, become old, yea, are mightie in power?
Job 21:8 Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
Job 21:9 Their houses are safe from feare, neither is the rod of God vpon them.
Job 21:10 Their bull gendreth and faileth not, their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.
Job 21:11 They send foorth their little ones like a flocke, and their children dance.
Job 21:12 They take the timbrell and harpe, and reioyce at the sound of the organe.
Job 21:13 They spend their daies in wealth, and in a moment goe downe to the graue.
Job 21:14 Therefore they say vnto God, Depart from vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes.
Job 21:15 What is the Almightie, that wee should serue him? and what profite should we haue, if we pray vnto him?
Job 21:16 Loe, their good is not in their hand, the counsell of the wicked is farre from me.
Job 21:17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out? and how oft commeth their destruction vpon them? God distributeth sorrowes in his anger.
Job 21:18 They are as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away.
Job 21:19 God layeth vp his iniquitie for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
Job 21:20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drinke of the wrath of the Almightie.
Job 21:21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his moneths is cut off in the middest?
Job 21:22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he iudgeth those that are high.
Job 21:23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
Job 21:24 His breasts are full of milke, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
Job 21:25 And another dieth in the bitternesse of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure.
Job 21:26 They shall lie downe alike in the dust, and the wormes shall couer them.
Job 21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the deuices which yee wrongfully imagine against me.
Job 21:28 For ye say, where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
Job 21:29 Haue ye not asked them that goe by the way? and doe ye not know their tokens?
Job 21:30 That the wicked is reserued to the day of destruction; they shall bee brought foorth to the day of wrath.
Job 21:31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
Job 21:32 Yet shall hee be brought to the graue, & shall remaine in the tombe.

Job 31:9 If mine heart haue bene deceiued by a woman, or if I haue layde wait at my neighbours doore:

Job 31:26 If I beheld the Sunne when it shined, or the Moone walking in brightnesse:

Job 31:32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doores to the trauailer.

Job 31:40 Let thistles grow in stead of wheat, and cockle in stead of barley. The words of Iob are ended.
Job 32:1 So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he was righteous in his owne eyes.
Job 32:2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu, the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the kinred of Ram: against Iob was his wrath kindled, because he iustified himselfe rather then God.
Job 32:3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled: because they had found no answere, and yet had condemned Iob.
Job 32:4 Now Elihu had waited till Iob had spoken: because they were elder then he.
Job 32:5 When Elihu saw that there was no answere in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

Job 32:12 Yea, I attended vnto you: and beholde, there was none of you that conuinced Iob, or that answered his words:
Job 32:13 Lest ye should say, We haue found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
Job 32:14 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answere him with your speeches.
Job 32:15 They were amased, they answered no more, they left off speaking.
Job 32:16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more.)
Job 32:17 I sayd, I will answere also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.
Job 32:18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
Job 32:19 Behold, my belly is as wine, which hath no vent, it is ready to burst like new bottles.
Job 32:20 I will speake, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lippes, and answere.
Job 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any mans person: neither let me giue flattering titles vnto man.
Job 32:22 For I know not to giue flattering titles: in so doing my maker would soone take me away.
Job 33:1 Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my speeches, and hearken to all my wordes.
Job 33:2 Behold, now I haue opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
Job 33:3 My words shalbe of the vprightnesse of my heart: and my lippes shall vtter knowledge clearely.
Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life.
Job 33:5 If thou canst, answere me, set thy wordes in order before me, stand vp.
Job 33:6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
Job 33:7 Behold, my terrour shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heauie vpon thee.
Job 33:8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I haue heard the voice of thy words, saying,
Job 33:9 I am cleane without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquitie in me.
Job 33:10 Behold, hee findeth occasions against mee, hee counteth mee for his enemie.
Job 33:11 He putteth my feete in the stockes, he marketh all my pathes.
Job 33:12 Behold, in this thou art not iust: I will answere thee, That God is greater then man.
Job 33:13 Why doest thou striue against him? for he giueth not account of any of his matters.
Job 33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiueth it not.
Job 33:15 In a dreame, in a vision of the night, when deepe sleepe falleth vpon men, in slumbrings vpon the bed:
Job 33:16 Then hee openeth the eares of men, and sealeth their instruction,
Job 33:17 That hee may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
Job 33:18 Hee keepeth backe his soule from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
Job 33:19 Hee is chastened also with paine vpon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong paine.
Job 33:20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soule daintie meate.
Job 33:21 His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seene; and his bones that were not seene, sticke out.
Job 33:22 His soule draweth neere vnto the graue, and his life to the destroyers.
Job 33:23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew vnto man his vprightnesse:
Job 33:24 Then hee is gracious vnto him, and sayth, Deliuer him from going downe to the pit; I haue found a ransome.
Job 33:25 His flesh shall be fresher then a childes: he shall returne to the dayes of his youth.
Job 33:26 He shall pray vnto God, and hee will be fauourable vnto him, and hee shall see his face with ioy: for hee will render vnto man his righteousnesse.
Job 33:27 He looketh vpon men, and if any say, I haue sinned, and peruerted that which was right, and it profited mee not:
Job 33:28 Hee will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
Job 33:29 Loe, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
Job 33:30 To bring backe his soule from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the liuing.
Job 33:31 Marke well, O Iob, hearken vnto me, hold thy peace, and I wil speake.
Job 33:32 If thou hast any thing to say, answere me: speake, for I desire to iustifie thee.
Job 33:33 If not, hearken vnto me: holde thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisedome.
Job 34:1 Furthermore Elihu answered, and said,
Job 34:2 Heare my wordes, O yee wise men, and giue eare vnto me, ye that haue knowledge.
Job 34:3 For the eare trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meate.
Job 34:4 Let vs chuse to vs iudgement: let vs know among our selues what is good.
Job 34:5 For Iob hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my iudgement.
Job 34:6 Should I lye against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
Job 34:7 What man is like Iob, who drinketh vp scorning like water?
Job 34:8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men.
Job 34:9 For hee hath said, It profiteth a man nothing, that he should delight himselfe with God.
Job 34:10 Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of vnderstanding: farre bee it from God, that he should doe wickednes, and from the Almighty, that hee should commit iniquitie.
Job 34:11 For the worke of a man shall he render vnto him, and cause euery man to finde according to his wayes.
Job 34:12 Yea surely God will not doe wickedly, neither will the Almighty peruert iudgement.
Job 34:13 Who hath giuen him a charge ouer the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?
Job 34:14 If he set his heart vpon man, if he gather vnto himselfe his spirit and his breath;
Job 34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turne againe vnto dust.
Job 34:16 If now thou hast vnderstanding, heare this: hearken to the voyce of my words.
Job 34:17 Shall euen he that hateth right, gouerne? and wilt thou condemne him that is most iust?
Job 34:18 Is it fit to say to a King, Thou art wicked? and to Princes, Ye are vngodly?
Job 34:19 How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of Princes, nor regardeth the rich more then the poore? for they all are the woorke of his hands.
Job 34:20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and passe away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
Job 34:21 For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings.
Job 34:22 There is no darkenes, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquitie may hide themselues.
Job 34:23 For hee will not lay vpon man more then right; that he should enter into iudgement with God.
Job 34:24 He shall breake in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
Job 34:25 Therefore hee knoweth their workes, and he ouerturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
Job 34:26 He striketh them as wicked men, in the open sight of others:
Job 34:27 Because they turned backe from him, and would not consider any of his wayes.
Job 34:28 So that they cause the cry of the poore to come vnto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
Job 34:29 When he giueth quietnesse, who then can make trouble? and when hee hideth his face, who then can beholde him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man onely:
Job 34:30 That the hypocrite raigne not, lest the people be ensnared.
Job 34:31 Surely it is meete to be said vnto God, I haue borne chastisement, I will not offend any more.
Job 34:32 That which I see not, teach thou me; If I haue done iniquitie, I will doe no more.
Job 34:33 Should it bee according to thy minde? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou chuse, and not I: therefore speake what thou knowest.
Job 34:34 Let men of vnderstanding tell mee, and let a wise man hearken vnto mee.
Job 34:35 Iob hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdome.
Job 34:36 My desire is that Iob may bee tried vnto the ende, because of his answeres for wicked men.
Job 34:37 For he addeth rebellion vnto his sinne, hee clappeth his handes amongst vs, and multiplieth his words against God.
Job 35:1 Elihu spake moreouer, and said,
Job 35:2 Thinkest thou this to bee right, that thou saydest, My righteousnesse is more then Gods?
Job 35:3 For thou saydst, what aduantage will it bee vnto thee, and, what profite shall I haue, if I bee cleansed from my sinne?
Job 35:4 I will answere thee, and thy companions with thee.
Job 35:5 Looke vnto the heauens and see, and behold the clouds which are higher then thou.
Job 35:6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or it thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou vnto him?
Job 35:7 If thou be righteous, what giuest thou him? or what receiueth hee of thine hand?
Job 35:8 Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art, and thy righteousnesse may profit the sonne of man.
Job 35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to crie: they crie out by reason of the arme of the mightie.
Job 35:10 But none saith, where is God my maker, who giueth songs in the night?
Job 35:11 Who teacheth vs more then the beasts of the earth, and maketh vs wiser then the foules of heauen.
Job 35:12 There they crie, (but none giueth answere) because of the pride of euill men.
Job 35:13 Surely God wil not heare vanitie, neither wil the Almightie regard it.
Job 35:14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet iudgement is before him, therefore trust thou in him.
Job 35:15 But now because it is not so, hee hath visited in his anger, yet he knoweth it not in great extremitie:
Job 35:16 Therefore doeth Iob open his mouth in vaine: he multiplieth words without knowledge.
Job 36:1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
Job 36:2 Suffer mee a little, and I will shewe thee, that I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.
Job 36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afarre, and will ascribe righteousnesse to my Maker.
Job 36:4 For truely my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge, is with thee.
Job 36:5 Behold, God is mightie, and despiseth not any: he is mightie in strength and wisedome.
Job 36:6 He preserueth not the life of the wicked: but giueth right to the poore.
Job 36:7 Hee withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne, yea he doth establish them for euer, and they are exalted.
Job 36:8 And if they bee bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction:
Job 36:9 Then hee sheweth them their worke, and their transgressions, that they haue exceeded.
Job 36:10 He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth that they returne from iniquitie.
Job 36:11 If they obey and serue him, they shall spend their dayes in prosperitie, and their yeeres in pleasures.
Job 36:12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.
Job 36:13 But the hypocrites in heart heape vp wrath: they crie not when he bindeth them.
Job 36:14 They die in youth, and their life is among the vncleane.
Job 36:15 He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eares in oppression.
Job 36:16 Euen so would he haue remooued thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there is no straitnesse, and that which should be set on thy table, should be full of fatnesse.
Job 36:17 But thou hast fulfilled the iudgement of the wicked: iudgement and iustice take hold on thee.
Job 36:18 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransome cannot deliuer thee.
Job 36:19 Will he esteeme thy riches? no not gold, nor all the forces of strength.
Job 36:20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
Job 36:21 Take heed, regard not iniquitie: for this hast thou chosen rather then affliction.
Job 36:22 Beholde, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
Job 36:23 Who hath inioyned him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquitie?
Job 36:24 Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.
Job 36:25 Euery man may see it, man may behold it afarre off.
Job 36:26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his yeeres be searched out.
Job 36:27 For hee maketh small the drops of water: they powre downe raine according to the vapour thereof:
Job 36:28 Which the clouds doe drop, and distill vpon man aboundantly.
Job 36:29 Also can any vnderstand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
Job 36:30 Behold, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.
Job 36:31 For by them iudgeth he the people, he giueth meate in abundance.
Job 36:32 With clouds he couereth the light, and commaundeth it not to shine, by the cloud that commeth betwixt.
Job 36:33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattel also concerning the Uapour.
Job 37:1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moued out of his place.
Job 37:2 Heare attentiuely the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
Job 37:3 Hee directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his lightning vnto the ends of the earth.
Job 37:4 After it a voyce roareth: he thundreth with the voice of his excellencie, and hee will not stay them when his voice is heard.
Job 37:5 God thundereth maruellously with his voice: great things doth hee, which we cannot comprehend.
Job 37:6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth: likewise to the small raine, and to the great raine of his strength.
Job 37:7 He sealeth vp the hand of euery man; that all men may knowe his worke.
Job 37:8 Then the beastes goe into dennes: and remaine in their places.
Job 37:9 Out of the South commeth the whirlewinde: and cold out of the North.
Job 37:10 By the breath of God, frost is giuen: and the breadth of the waters is straitned.
Job 37:11 Also by watring he wearieth the thicke cloud: hee scattereth his bright cloud.
Job 37:12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may doe whatsoeuer hee commaundeth them vpon the face of the world in the earth.
Job 37:13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
Job 37:14 Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand still, and consider the wondrous workes of God.
Job 37:15 Doest thou knowe when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
Job 37:16 Doest thou know the ballancings of the clouds, the wondrous workes of him which is perfect in knowledge?
Job 37:17 How thy garments are warme, when hee quieteth the earth by the South wind?
Job 37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the skie, which is strong, and as a molten looking glasse?
Job 37:19 Teach vs what we shall say vnto him; for we cannot order our speach by reason of darknes.
Job 37:20 Shall it bee told him that I speake? if a man speake, surely he shalbe swallowed vp.
Job 37:21 And nowe men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth and cleanseth them.
Job 37:22 Faire weather commeth out of the North: with God is terrible maiestie.
Job 37:23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in iudgement, and in plenty of iustice: he will not afflict.
Job 37:24 Men doe therefore feare him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
Job 38:1 Then the Lord answered Iob out of the whirlewind, and sayd,
Job 38:2 Who is this that darkneth counsell by words without knowledge?
Job 38:3 Gird vp nowe thy loines like a man; for I will demaund of thee, and answere thou me.
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I layd the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast vnderstanding.
Job 38:5 Who hath layd the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line vpon it?
Job 38:6 Wherepuon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who layd the corner stone thereof?
Job 38:7 When the morning starres sang together, and all the sonnes of God shouted for ioy.
Job 38:8 Or who shut vp the sea with doores, when it brake foorth as if it had issued out of the wombe?
Job 38:9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thicke darknesse a swadling band for it,
Job 38:10 And brake vp for it my decreed place, and set barres and doores,
Job 38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and heere shall thy proud waues be stayed.
Job 38:12 Hast thou commaunded the morning since thy daies? And caused the day-spring to know his place,
Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the endes of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
Job 38:14 It is turned as clay to the seale, and they stand as a garment.
Job 38:15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arme shalbe broken.
Job 38:16 Hast thou entred into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
Job 38:17 Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? Or hast thou seene the doores of the shadow of death?
Job 38:18 Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all.
Job 38:19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? And as for darknesse, where is the place thereof?
Job 38:20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the pathes to the house thereof.
Job 38:21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then borne? Or because the number of thy daies is great?
Job 38:22 Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snowe? Or hast thou seene the treasures of the haile,
Job 38:23 Which I haue reserued against the time of trouble, against the day of battaile and warre?
Job 38:24 By what way is the light parted? Which scattereth the East wind vpon the earth.
Job 38:25 Who hath diuided a water-course for the ouerflowing of waters? Or a way for the lightning of thunder,
Job 38:26 To cause it to raine on the earth, where no man is: on the wildernesse wherein there is no man?
Job 38:27 To satisfie the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the bud of the tender herbe to spring forth.
Job 38:28 Hath the raine a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
Job 38:29 Out of whose wombe came the yce? And the hoary frost of heauen, who hath gendred it?
Job 38:30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deepe is frozen.
Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweete influences of Pleiades? Or loose the bands of Orion?
Job 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season, or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sonnes?
Job 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heauen? Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
Job 38:34 Canst thou lift vp thy voice to the cloudes, that abundance of waters may couer thee?
Job 38:35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may goe, and say vnto thee, Here we are?
Job 38:36 Who hath put wisedome in the inward parts? Or who hath giuen vnderstanding to the heart?
Job 38:37 Who can number the cloudes in wisedome? Or who can stay the bottles of heauen,
Job 38:38 When the dust groweeh into hardnesse, and the clods cleaue fast together?
Job 38:39 Wilt thou hunt the pray for the lyon? Or fill the appetite of the young lyons,
Job 38:40 When they couch in their dennes, and abide in the couert to lie in waite?
Job 38:41 Who prouideth for the rauen his foode? when his young ones cry vnto God, they wander for lacke of meate.
Job 39:1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goates of the rocke bring forth? or canst thou marke when the hindes doe calue?
Job 39:2 Canst thou number the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
Job 39:3 They bowe themselues, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrowes.
Job 39:4 Their yong ones are in good liking, they grow vp with corne: they go forth, and returne not vnto them.
Job 39:5 Who hath sent out the wild asse free? or who hath looosed the bands of the wild asse?
Job 39:6 Whose house I haue made the wildernesse, and the barren lande his dwellings.
Job 39:7 He scorneth the multitude of the citie, neither regardeth he the crying of the driuer.
Job 39:8 The range of the mountaines is his pasture, and hee searcheth after euery greene thing.
Job 39:9 Will the Unicorne be willing to serue thee? or abide by thy cribbe?
Job 39:10 Canst thou binde the Unicorne with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleyes after thee?
Job 39:11 Wilt thou trust him because his strength is great? or wilt thou leaue thy labour to him?
Job 39:12 Wilt thou beleeue him that hee will bring home thy seed? and gather it into thy barne?
Job 39:13 Gauest thou the goodly wings vnto the peacocks, or wings and feathers vnto the Ostrich?
Job 39:14 Which leaueth her egges in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
Job 39:15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wilde beast may breake them.
Job 39:16 She is hardened against her yong ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vaine without feare.
Job 39:17 Because God hath depriued her of wisedome, neither hath he imparted to her vnderstanding.
Job 39:18 What time she lifteth vp her selfe on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
Job 39:19 Hast thou giuen the horse strength? hast thou clothed his necke with thunder?
Job 39:20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grashopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.
Job 39:21 He paweth in the valley, and reioyceth in his strength: hee goeth on to meet the armed men.
Job 39:22 He mocketh at feare, and is not affrighted: neither turneth he backe from the sword.
Job 39:23 The quiuer ratleth against him, the glittering speare and the shield.
Job 39:24 He swalloweth the ground with fiercenesse and rage: neither beleeueth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
Job 39:25 Hee saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha: and he smelleth the battaile afarre off, the thunder of the captaines, and the shouting.
Job 39:26 Doeth the hawke flie by thy wisedome, and stretch her wings toward the South?
Job 39:27 Doeth the Eagle mount vp at thy commaund? and make her nest on high?
Job 39:28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rocke, vpon the cragge of the rocke, and the strong place.
Job 39:29 From thence she seeketh the pray, and her eyes behold a farre off.
Job 39:30 Her yong ones also suck vp blood: and where the slaine are, there is he.
Job 40:1 Moreouer the Lord answered Iob, and said,
Job 40:2 Shall hee that contendeth with the Almightie, instruct him? he that reproueth God, let him answere it.
Job 40:3 Then Iob answered the Lord, and said,
Job 40:4 Behold, I am vile, what shall I answere thee? I wil lay my hand vpon my mouth.
Job 40:5 Once haue I spoken, but I will not answere: yea twise, but I will proceed no further.
Job 40:6 Then answered the Lord vnto Iob out of the whirlewinde, and said:
Job 40:7 Gird vp thy loynes now like a man: I will demaund of thee, and declare thou vnto me.
Job 40:8 Wilt thou also disanul my iudgement? Wilt thou condemne mee, that thou mayest be righteous?
Job 40:9 Hast thou an arme like God? or canst thou thunder with a voyce like him?
Job 40:10 Decke thy selfe now with Maiestie, and excellencie, and aray thy selfe with glory, and beautie.
Job 40:11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold euery one that is proud, and abase him.
Job 40:12 Looke on euery one that is proud, and bring him low: and tread downe the wicked in their place.
Job 40:13 Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in secret.
Job 40:14 Then will I also confesse vnto thee, that thine owne right hand can saue thee.
Job 40:15 Beholde now Behemoth which I made with thee, hee eateth grasse as an oxe.
Job 40:16 Loe now, his strength is in his loynes, and his force is in the nauell of his belly.
Job 40:17 Hee moueth his taile like a Cedar: the sinewes of his stones are wrapt together.
Job 40:18 His bones are as strong pieces of brasse: his bones are like barres of iron.
Job 40:19 Hee is the chiefe of the wayes of God: he that made him, can make his sword to approach vnto him.
Job 40:20 Surely the mountaines bring him foorth foode: where all the beasts of the field play.
Job 40:21 He lieth vnder the shady trees in the couert of the reede, and fennes.
Job 40:22 The shady trees couer him with their shaddow: the willowes of the brooke compasse him about.
Job 40:23 Behold, he drinketh vp a riuer, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw vp Iordan into his mouth.
Job 40:24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pearceth through snares.
Job 41:1 Canst thou draw out Leuiathan with an hooke? or his tongue with a corde which thou lettest downe?
Job 41:2 Canst thou put an hooke into his nose? or bore his iawe through with a thorne?
Job 41:3 Will he make many supplications vnto thee? will he speake soft words vnto thee?
Job 41:4 Will he make a couenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a seruant for euer?
Job 41:5 Wilt thou play with him as with a birde? wilt thou binde him for thy maydens?
Job 41:6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?
Job 41:7 Canst thou fill his skinne with barbed irons? or his head with fishspeares?
Job 41:8 Lay thine hand vpon him, remember the battell: doe no more.
Job 41:9 Behold, the hope of him is in vaine: shall not one be cast downe euen at the sight of him?
Job 41:10 None is so fierce that dare stirre him vp: who then is able to stand before me?
Job 41:11 Who hath preuented me that I should repay him? whatsoeuer is vnder the whole heauen, is mine.
Job 41:12 I will not conceale his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.
Job 41:13 Who can discouer the face of his garment? or who can come to him, with his double bridle?
Job 41:14 Who can open the doores of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.
Job 41:15 His scales are his pride, shut vp together as with a close seale.
Job 41:16 One is so neere to another, that no ayre can come betweene them.
Job 41:17 They are ioyned one to another, they sticke together, that they cannot be sundred.
Job 41:18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eye-liddes of the morning.
Job 41:19 Out of his mouth goe burning lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out.
Job 41:20 Out of his nostrels goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.
Job 41:21 His breath kindleth coales, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
Job 41:22 In his necke remaineth strength, and sorrowe is turned into ioy before him.
Job 41:23 The flakes of his flesh are ioyned together: they are firme in themselues, they cannot be moued.
Job 41:24 His heart is as firme as a stone, yea as hard as a peece of the nether mil-stone.
Job 41:25 When he rayseth vp himselfe, the mightie are afraid: by reason of breakings they purifie themselues.
Job 41:26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the speare, the dart, nor the habergeon.
Job 41:27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brasse as rotten wood.
Job 41:28 The arrow cannot make him flee: sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.
Job 41:29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a speare.
Job 41:30 Sharpe stones are vnder him: he spreadeth sharpe pointed things vpon the mire.
Job 41:31 He maketh the deepe to boyle like a pot: hee maketh the sea like a pot of oyntment.
