1890 by John Darby
Job 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and this man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God and abstained from evil.
Job 1:2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
Job 1:3 And his substance was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; and this man was greater than all the children of the east.
Job 1:4 And his sons went and made a feast in the house of each one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
Job 1:5 And it was so, when the days of the feasting were gone about, that Job sent and hallowed them; and he rose up early in the morning, and offered up burnt-offerings [according to] the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my children have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Job 1:6 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them.
Job 1:7 And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Job 1:8 And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil?
Job 1:9 And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
Job 1:10 Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is spread abroad in the land.
Job 1:11 But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face!
Job 1:12 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
Job 1:13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn.
Job 1:14 And there came a messenger to Job and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them;
Job 1:15 and [they of] Sheba fell [upon them] and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Job 1:16 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Job 1:17 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels and took them, and the servants have they smitten with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Job 1:18 While he was yet speaking, there came another and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their brother, the firstborn;
Job 1:19 and behold, there came a great wind from over the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I only am escaped, alone, to tell thee.
Job 1:20 And Job rose up, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped;
Job 1:21 and he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
Job 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor ascribed anything unseemly to God.
Job 2:1 And there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them to present himself before Jehovah.
Job 2:2 And Jehovah said to Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
Job 2:3 And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God and abstaineth from evil? and still he remaineth firm in his integrity, though thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.
Job 2:4 And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life;
Job 2:5 but put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, [and see] if he will not curse thee to thy face!
Job 2:6 And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.
Job 2:7 And Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah; and he smote Job with a grievous botch from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Job 2:8 And he took a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat among the ashes.
Job 2:9 And his wife said to him, Dost thou still remain firm in thine integrity? curse God and die.
Job 2:10 But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. We have also received good from God, and should we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Job 2:11 And three friends of Job heard of all this evil that was come upon him. And they came each one from his place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.
Job 2:12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice and wept. And they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward the heavens.
Job 2:13 And they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; and none spoke a word to him; for they saw that [his] anguish was very great.
Job 3:1 After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed his day.
Job 3:2 And Job answered and said,
Job 3:3 Let the day perish in which I was born, and the night that said, There is a man child conceived.
Job 3:4 That day -- let it be darkness, let not +God care for it from above, neither let light shine upon it:
Job 3:5 Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it; let clouds dwell upon it; let darkeners of the day terrify it.
Job 3:6 That night -- let gloom seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.
Job 3:7 Behold, let that night be barren; let no joyful sound come therein;
Job 3:8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan;
Job 3:9 Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it wait for light, and have none, neither let it see the eyelids of the dawn:
Job 3:10 Because it shut not up the doors of the womb that bore me, and hid not trouble from mine eyes.
Job 3:11 Wherefore did I not die from the womb, -- come forth from the belly and expire?
Job 3:12 Why did the knees meet me? and wherefore the breasts, that I should suck?
Job 3:13 For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
Job 3:14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,
Job 3:15 Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;
Job 3:16 Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.
Job 3:17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the wearied are at rest.
Job 3:18 The prisoners together are at ease; they hear not the voice of the taskmaster.
Job 3:19 The small and great are there, and the bondman freed from his master.
Job 3:20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in trouble, and life to those bitter of soul,
Job 3:21 Who long for death, and it [cometh] not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;
Job 3:22 Who rejoice even exultingly and are glad when they find the grave? --
Job 3:23 To the man whose way is hidden, and whom +God hath hedged in?
Job 3:24 For my sighing cometh before my bread, and my groanings are poured out like the waters.
Job 3:25 For I feared a fear, and it hath come upon me, and that which I dreaded hath come to me.
Job 3:26 I was not in safety, neither had I quietness, neither was I at rest, and trouble came.
Job 4:1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
Job 4:2 If a word were essayed to thee, wouldest thou be grieved? But who can refrain from speaking?
Job 4:3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands;
Job 4:4 Thy words have upholden him that was stumbling, and thou hast braced up the bending knees:
Job 4:5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou grievest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
Job 4:6 Hath not thy piety been thy confidence, and the perfection of thy ways thy hope?
Job 4:7 Remember, I pray thee, who that was innocent has perished? and where were the upright cut off?
Job 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plough iniquity and sow mischief, reap the same.
Job 4:9 By the breath of +God they perish, and by the blast of his nostrils are they consumed.
Job 4:10 The roar of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken;
Job 4:11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness are scattered.
Job 4:12 Now to me a word was secretly brought, and mine ear received a whisper thereof.
Job 4:13 In thoughts from visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men: --
Job 4:14 Fear came on me, and trembling, and made all my bones to shake;
Job 4:15 And a spirit passed before my face -- the hair of my flesh stood up --
Job 4:16 It stood still; I could not discern the appearance thereof: a form was before mine eyes; I heard a slight murmur and a voice:
Job 4:17 Shall [mortal] man be more just than +God? Shall a man be purer than his Maker?
Job 4:18 Lo, he trusteth not his servants, and his angels he chargeth with folly:
Job 4:19 How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed as the moth!
Job 4:20 From morning to evening are they smitten: without any heeding it, they perish for ever.
Job 4:21 Is not their tent-cord torn away in them? they die, and without wisdom.
Job 5:1 Call, I pray thee! Is there any that answereth thee? and to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?
Job 5:2 For vexation killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the simple.
Job 5:3 I myself saw the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
Job 5:4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is no deliverer:
Job 5:5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh even out of the thorns; and the snare gapeth for his substance.
Job 5:6 For evil cometh not forth from the dust, neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;
Job 5:7 For man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upwards.
Job 5:8 But as for me I will seek unto *God, and unto God commit my cause;
Job 5:9 Who doeth great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number;
Job 5:10 Who giveth rain on the face of the earth, and sendeth waters on the face of the fields;
Job 5:11 Setting up on high those that are low; and mourners are exalted to prosperity.
Job 5:12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, and their hands carry not out the enterprise.
Job 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; and the counsel of the wily is carried headlong:
Job 5:14 They meet with darkness in a the daytime, and grope at midday as in the night.
Job 5:15 And he saveth the needy from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
Job 5:16 So the poor hath what he hopeth for, and unrighteousness stoppeth her mouth.
Job 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom +God correcteth; therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty.
Job 5:18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
Job 5:19 He will deliver thee in six troubles, and in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
Job 5:20 In famine he will redeem thee from death, and in war from the power of the sword.
Job 5:21 Thou shalt be hidden from the scourge of the tongue; and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
Job 5:22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, and of the beasts of the earth thou shalt not be afraid.
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 tent is in peace; and thou wilt survey thy fold, and miss nothing.
Job 5:25 And thou shalt know that thy seed is numerous, and thine offspring as the herb of the earth.
Job 5:26 Thou shalt come to the grave in a ripe age, as a shock of corn is brought in in its season.
Job 5:27 Behold this, we have searched it out, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thyself.
Job 6:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 6:2 Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!
Job 6:3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words are vehement.
Job 6:4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, their poison drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of +God are arrayed against me.
Job 6:5 Doth the wild ass bray by the grass? loweth an ox over his fodder?
Job 6:6 Shall that which is insipid be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Job 6:7 What my soul refuseth to touch, that is as my loathsome food.
Job 6:8 Oh that I might have my request, and that +God would grant my desire!
Job 6:9 And that it would please +God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
Job 6:10 Then should I yet have comfort; and in the pain which spareth not I would rejoice that I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
Job 6:11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should have patience?
Job 6:12 Is my strength the strength of stones? is my flesh of brass?
Job 6:13 Is it not that there is no help in me, and soundness is driven away from me?
Job 6:14 For him that is fainting kindness [is meet] from his friend; or he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
Job 6:15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a stream, as the channel of streams which pass away,
Job 6:16 Which are turbid by reason of the ice, in which the snow hideth itself:
Job 6:17 At the time they diminish, they are dried up; when heat affecteth them, they vanish from their place:
Job 6:18 They wind about in the paths of their course, they go off into the waste and perish.
Job 6:19 The caravans of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba counted on them:
Job 6:20 They are ashamed at their hope; they come thither, and are confounded.
Job 6:21 So now ye are nothing; ye see a terrible object and are afraid.
Job 6:22 Did I say, Bring unto me, and make me a present from your substance?
Job 6:23 Or, rescue me from the hand of the oppressor, and redeem me from the hand of the violent?
Job 6:24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
Job 6:25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your upbraiding reprove?
Job 6:26 Do ye imagine to reprove words? The speeches of one that is desperate are indeed for the wind.
Job 6:27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and dig [a pit] for your friend.
Job 6:28 Now therefore if ye will, look upon me; and it shall be to your face if I lie.
Job 6:29 Return, I pray you, let there be no wrong; yea, return again, my righteousness shall be in it.
Job 6:30 Is there wrong in my tongue? cannot my taste discern mischievous things?
Job 7:1 Hath not man a life of labour upon earth? and are not his days like the days of a hireling?
Job 7:2 As a bondman earnestly desireth the shadow, and a hireling expecteth his wages,
Job 7:3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
Job 7:4 If I lie down, I say, When shall I rise up, and the darkness be gone? and I am full of tossings until the dawn.
Job 7:5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and suppurates.
Job 7:6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent without hope.
Job 7:7 Remember thou that my life is wind; mine eye shall no more see good.
Job 7:8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall behold me no [more]: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.
Job 7:9 The cloud consumeth and vanisheth away; so he that goeth down to Sheol shall not come up.
Job 7:10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him again.
Job 7:11 Therefore I will not restrain my mouth: I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
Job 7:12 Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that thou settest a watch over me?
Job 7:13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;
Job 7:14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions;
Job 7:15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, death, rather than my bones.
Job 7:16 I loathe it; I shall not live always: let me alone, for my days are a breath.
Job 7:17 What is man, that thou makest much of him? and that thou settest thy heart upon him?
Job 7:18 And that thou visitest him every morning, triest him every moment?
Job 7:19 How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
Job 7:20 Have I sinned, what do I unto thee, thou Observer of men? Why hast thou set me as an object of assault for thee, so that I am become a burden to myself?
Job 7:21 And why dost not thou forgive my transgression and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I lie down in the dust, and thou shalt seek me early, and I shall not be.
Job 8:1 And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
Job 8:2 How long wilt thou speak these things? and the words of thy mouth be a strong wind?
Job 8:3 Doth *God pervert judgment, and the Almighty pervert justice?
Job 8:4 If thy children have sinned against him, he hath also given them over into the hand of their transgression.
Job 8:5 If thou seek earnestly unto *God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,
Job 8:6 If thou be pure and upright, surely now he will awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous;
Job 8:7 And though thy beginning was small, yet thine end shall be very great.
Job 8:8 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and attend to the researches of their fathers;
Job 8:9 For we are [but] of yesterday, and know nothing, for our days upon earth are a shadow.
Job 8:10 Shall not they teach thee, [and] tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
Job 8:11 Doth the papyrus shoot up without mire? doth the reed-grass grow without water?
Job 8:12 Whilst it is yet in its greenness [and] not cut down, it withereth before any [other] grass.
Job 8:13 So are the paths of all that forget *God; and the profane man's hope shall perish,
Job 8:14 Whose confidence shall be cut off, and his reliance is a spider's web.
Job 8:15 He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand; he shall lay hold on it, but it shall not endure.
Job 8:16 He is full of sap before the sun, and his sprout shooteth forth over his garden;
Job 8:17 His roots are entwined about the stoneheap; he seeth the place of stones.
Job 8:18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him: I have not seen thee!
Job 8:19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the dust shall others grow.
Job 8:20 Behold, *God will not cast off a perfect man, neither will he take evil-doers by the hand.
Job 8:21 Whilst he would fill thy mouth with laughing and thy lips with shouting,
Job 8:22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked be no more.
Job 9:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 9:2 Of a truth I know it is so; but how can man be just with *God?
Job 9:3 If he shall choose to strive with him, he cannot answer him one thing of a thousand.
Job 9:4 He is wise in heart and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and had peace?
Job 9:5 Who removeth mountains, and they know it not, when he overturneth them in his anger;
Job 9:6 Who shaketh the earth out of its place, and the pillars thereof tremble;
Job 9:7 Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, and he sealeth up the stars;
Job 9:8 Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the high waves of the sea;
Job 9:9 Who maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south;
Job 9:10 Who doeth great things past finding out, and wonders without number.
Job 9:11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see [him] not; and he passeth along, and I perceive him not.
Job 9:12 Behold, he taketh away: who will hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
Job 9:13 +God withdraweth not his anger; the proud helpers stoop under him:
Job 9:14 How much less shall I answer him, choose out my words [to strive] with him?
Job 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.
Job 9:16 If I had called, and he had answered me, I would not believe that he hearkened to my voice, --
Job 9:17 He, who crusheth me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
Job 9:18 He suffereth me not to take my breath, for he filleth me with bitternesses.
Job 9:19 Be it a question of strength, lo, [he is] strong; and be it of judgment, who will set me a time?
Job 9:20 If I justified myself, mine own mouth would condemn me; were I perfect, he would prove me perverse.
Job 9:21 Were I perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
Job 9:22 It is all one; therefore I said, he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
Job 9:23 If the scourge kill suddenly, he mocketh at the trial of the innocent.
Job 9:24 The earth is given over into the hand of the wicked [man]; he covereth the faces of its judges. If not, who then is it?
Job 9:25 And my days are swifter than a runner: they flee away, they see no good.
Job 9:26 They pass by like skiffs of reed; as an eagle that swoops upon the prey.
Job 9:27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my [sad] countenance, and brighten up,
Job 9:28 I am afraid of all my sorrows; I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
Job 9:29 Be it that I am wicked, why then do I labour in vain?
Job 9:30 If I washed myself with snow-water, and cleansed my hands in purity,
Job 9:31 Then wouldest thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes would abhor me.
Job 9:32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him; that we should come together in judgment.
Job 9:33 There is not an umpire between us, who should lay his hand upon us both.
Job 9:34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his terror make me afraid,
Job 9:35 [Then] I will speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
Job 10:1 My soul is weary of my life: I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
Job 10:2 I will say unto +God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou strivest with me.
Job 10:3 Doth it please thee to oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
Job 10:4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
Job 10:5 Are thy days as the days of a mortal? are thy years as a man's days,
Job 10:6 That thou searchest after mine iniquity, and inquirest into my sin;
Job 10:7 Since thou knowest that I am not wicked, and that there is none that delivereth out of thy hand?
Job 10:8 Thy hands have bound me together and made me as one, round about; yet dost thou swallow me up!
Job 10:9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as clay, and wilt bring me into dust again.
Job 10:10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
Job 10:11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews;
Job 10:12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy care hath preserved my spirit;
Job 10:13 And these things didst thou hide in thy heart; I know that this was with thee.
Job 10:14 If I sinned, thou wouldest mark me, and thou wouldest not acquit me of mine iniquity.
Job 10:15 If I were wicked, woe unto me! and righteous, I will not lift up my head, being [so] full of shame, and beholding mine affliction; --
Job 10:16 And it increaseth: thou huntest me as a fierce lion; and ever again thou shewest thy marvellous power upon me.
Job 10:17 Thou renewest thy witnesses before me and increasest thy displeasure against me; successions [of evil] and a time of toil are with me.
Job 10:18 And wherefore didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? I had expired, and no eye had seen me.
Job 10:19 I should be as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
Job 10:20 Are not my days few? cease then and let me alone, that I may revive a little,
Job 10:21 Before I go, and never to return, -- to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
Job 10:22 A land of gloom, as darkness itself; of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as thick darkness.
Job 11:1 And Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
Job 11:2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man of much talk be justified?
Job 11:3 Should thy fictions make men hold their peace? and shouldest thou mock, and no one make [thee] ashamed?
Job 11:4 For thou sayest, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
Job 11:5 But oh that +God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
Job 11:6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, how that they are the double of what is realised; and know that +God passeth by [much] of thine iniquity!
Job 11:7 Canst thou by searching find out +God? canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?
Job 11:8 [It is as] the heights of heaven; what wilt thou do? deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?
Job 11:9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
Job 11:10 If he pass by, and shut up, and call to judgment, who can hinder him?
Job 11:11 For he knoweth vain men, and seeth wickedness when [man] doth not consider it;
Job 11:12 Yet a senseless man will make bold, though man be born [like] the foal of a wild ass.
Job 11:13 If thou prepare thy heart and stretch out thy hands toward him,
Job 11:14 If thou put far away the iniquity which is in thy hand, and let not wrong dwell in thy tents;
Job 11:15 Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot, and thou shalt be stedfast and shalt not fear:
Job 11:16 For thou shalt forget misery; as waters that are passed away shalt thou remember it;
Job 11:17 And life shall arise brighter than noonday; though thou be enshrouded in darkness, thou shalt be as the morning,
Job 11:18 And thou shalt have confidence, because there shall be hope; and having searched about [thee], thou shalt take rest in safety.
Job 11:19 Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour.
Job 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and [all] refuge shall vanish from them, and their hope [shall be] the breathing out of life.
Job 12:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 12:2 Truly ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you!
Job 12:3 I also have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you; and who knoweth not such things as these?
Job 12:4 I am to be one that is a derision to his friend, I who call upon +God, and whom he will answer: a derision is the just upright [man].
Job 12:5 He that is ready to stumble with the foot is a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
Job 12:6 The tents of desolators are in peace, and they that provoke *God are secure; into whose hand +God bringeth.
Job 12:7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowl of the heavens, and they shall tell thee;
Job 12:8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.
Job 12:9 Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this?
Job 12:10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.
Job 12:11 Doth not the ear try words, as the palate tasteth food?
Job 12:12 With the aged is wisdom, and in length of days understanding.
Job 12:13 With him is wisdom and might; he hath counsel and understanding.

Job 13:24 Wherefore dost thou hide thy face, and countest me for thine enemy?
Job 13:25 Wilt thou terrify a driven leaf? and wilt thou pursue dry stubble?
Job 13:26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth;
Job 13:27 And thou puttest my feet in the stocks, and markest all my paths; thou settest a bound about the soles of my feet; --
Job 13:28 One who, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that the moth eateth.

Job 14:13 Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest keep me secret until thine anger be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me, --
Job 14:14 (If a man die, shall he live [again]?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:
Job 14:15 Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee; thou wouldest have a desire after the work of thy hands.
Job 14:16 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
Job 14:17 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou heapest up mine iniquity.

Job 15:12 Why doth thy heart carry thee away? and why do thine eyes wink?
Job 15:13 That thou turnest thy spirit against *God, and lettest words go out of thy mouth?
Job 15:14 What is man, that he should be pure? and he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
Job 15:15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not pure in his sight:
Job 15:16 How much less the abominable and corrupt, -- man, that drinketh unrighteousness like water!

Job 22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good. But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Job 23:2 Even to-day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
Job 23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might come to his seat!
Job 23:4 I would order the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments;
Job 23:5 I would know the words he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.
Job 23:6 Would he plead against me with [his] great power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.
Job 23:7 There would an upright man reason with him; and I should be delivered for ever from my judge.
Job 23:8 Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive him;
Job 23:9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold [him] not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see [him] not.
Job 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.
Job 23:11 My foot hath held to his steps; his way have I kept, and not turned aside.
Job 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have laid up the words of his mouth more than the purpose of my own heart.
Job 23:13 But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do.
Job 23:14 For he will perform [what] is appointed for me; and many such things are with him.
Job 23:15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence; I consider, and I am afraid of him.
Job 23:16 For *God hath made my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me;
Job 23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he hidden the gloom from me.
Job 24:1 Why are not times treasured up with the Almighty? why do not they that know him see his days?
Job 24:2 They remove the landmarks; they violently take away the flocks and pasture them;
Job 24:3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge;
Job 24:4 They turn the needy out of the way: the afflicted of the land all hide themselves.
Job 24:5 Lo, [as] wild asses in the desert, they go forth to their work, seeking early for the prey: the wilderness [yieldeth] them food for [their] children.
Job 24:6 They reap in the field the fodder thereof, and they gather the vintage of the wicked;
Job 24:7 They pass the night naked without clothing, and have no covering in the cold;
Job 24:8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and for want of a shelter embrace the rock ...
Job 24:9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor:
Job 24:10 These go naked without clothing, and, hungry, they bear the sheaf;
Job 24:11 They press out oil within their walls, they tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
Job 24:12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out; and +God imputeth not the impiety.
Job 24:13 There are those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
Job 24:14 The murderer riseth with the light, killeth the afflicted and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
Job 24:15 And the eye of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me; and he putteth a covering on [his] face.
Job 24:16 In the dark they dig through houses; by day they shut themselves in; they know not the light:
Job 24:17 For the morning is to them all [as] the shadow of death; for they are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death.
Job 24:18 He is swift on the face of the waters; their portion is cursed on the earth: he turneth not unto the way of the vineyards.
Job 24:19 Drought and heat consume snow waters; so doth Sheol those that have sinned.
Job 24:20 The womb forgetteth him; the worm feedeth sweetly on him: he shall be no more remembered; and unrighteousness is broken as a tree, --
Job 24:21 He that despoileth the barren that beareth not, and doeth not good to the widow:
Job 24:22 He draweth also the mighty with his power; he riseth up, and no [man] is sure of life.
Job 24:23 [God] setteth him in safety, and he resteth thereon; but his eyes are upon their ways.
Job 24:24 They are exalted for a little, and are no more; they are laid low; like all [other] are they gathered, and are cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
Job 24:25 If it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?
Job 25:1 And Bildad the Shuhite answered and said,
Job 25:2 Dominion and fear are with him; he maketh peace in his high places.
Job 25:3 Is there any number of his troops? and upon whom doth not his light arise?
Job 25:4 And how should man be just with *God? Or how should he be clean that is born of a woman?
Job 25:5 Lo, even the moon is not bright; and the stars are not pure in his sight:
Job 25:6 How much less man, a worm, and the son of man, a worm!
Job 26:1 And Job answered and said,
Job 26:2 How hast thou helped the powerless; how saved the arm that is without strength!
Job 26:3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom, and abundantly declared the thing as it is!
Job 26:4 For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
Job 26:5 The shades tremble beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof;
Job 26:6 Sheol is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
Job 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over empty space, he hangeth the earth upon nothing;
Job 26:8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, and the cloud is not rent under them.
Job 26:9 He covereth the face of his throne, he spreadeth his cloud upon it.
Job 26:10 He hath traced a fixed circle over the waters, unto the confines of light and darkness.
Job 26:11 The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astonished at his rebuke.
Job 26:12 He stirreth up the sea by his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.
Job 26:13 By his Spirit the heavens are adorned; his hand hath formed the fleeing serpent.
Job 26:14 Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?
Job 27:1 And Job continued his parable and said,
Job 27:2 [As] *God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,
Job 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of +God is in my nostrils,
Job 27:4 My lips shall not speak unrighteousness, nor my tongue utter deceit!
Job 27:5 Be it far from me that I should justify you; till I die I will not remove my blamelessness from me.
Job 27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart reproacheth [me] not one of my days.
Job 27:7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.
Job 27:8 For what is the hope of the ungodly, when [God] cutteth him off, when +God taketh away his soul?
Job 27:9 Will *God hear his cry when distress cometh upon him?
Job 27:10 Doth he delight himself in the Almighty? will he at all times call upon +God?
Job 27:11 I will teach you concerning the hand of *God; what is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
Job 27:12 Behold, ye yourselves have all seen [it]; and why are ye thus altogether vain?
Job 27:13 This is the portion of the wicked man with *God, and the heritage of the violent, which they receive from the Almighty: --
Job 27:14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword, and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread;
Job 27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried by death, and his widows shall not weep.
Job 27:16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare clothing as the clay;
Job 27:17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver.
Job 27:18 He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a booth that a keeper maketh.
Job 27:19 He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
Job 27:20 Terrors overtake him like waters; a whirlwind stealeth him away in the night.
Job 27:21 The east wind carrieth him away and he is gone; and as a storm it hurleth him out of his place.
Job 27:22 And [God] shall cast upon him and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
Job 27:23 [Men] shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Job 28:1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold which they refine;
Job 28:2 Iron is taken out of the dust, and copper is molten out of the stone.
Job 28:3 [Man] putteth an end to the darkness, and exploreth to the utmost limit, the stones of darkness and of the shadow of death.
Job 28:4 He openeth a shaft far from the inhabitants [of the earth]: forgotten of the foot, they hang suspended; away below men they hover.
Job 28:5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread, and underneath it is turned up as by fire;
Job 28:6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires, and it hath dust of gold.
Job 28:7 It is a path no bird of prey knoweth, and the vulture's eye hath not seen it;
Job 28:8 The proud beasts have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed over it.
Job 28:9 [Man] putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock, he overturneth the mountains by the root.
Job 28:10 He cutteth out channels in the rocks, and his eye seeth every precious thing.
Job 28:11 He bindeth the streams that they drip not, and what is hidden he bringeth forth to light.
Job 28:12 But wisdom, where shall it be found? and where is the place of understanding?
Job 28:13 Man knoweth not the value thereof; and it is not found in the land of the living.
Job 28:14 The deep saith, It is not in me; and the sea saith, It is not with me.
Job 28:15 Choice gold cannot be given for it, nor silver be weighed for its price.
Job 28:16 It is not set in the balance with gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, and the sapphire.
Job 28:17 Gold and glass cannot be compared to it, nor vessels of fine gold be its exchange.
Job 28:18 Corals and crystal are no more remembered; yea, the acquisition of wisdom is above rubies.
Job 28:19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not be compared to it, neither shall it be set in the balance with pure gold.
Job 28:20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
Job 28:21 For it is hidden from the eyes of all living, and concealed from the fowl of the heavens.
Job 28:22 Destruction and death say, We have heard its report with our ears.
Job 28:23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth its place:
Job 28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, he seeth under the whole heaven.
Job 28:25 In making a weight for the wind, and meting out the waters by measure,
Job 28:26 In appointing a statute for the rain, and a way for the thunder's flash:
Job 28:27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he established it, yea, and searched it out;
Job 28:28 And unto man he said, Lo, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Job 29:1 And Job continued his parable and said,
Job 29:2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when +God preserved me;
Job 29:3 When his lamp shone over my head, [and] by his light I walked through darkness;
Job 29:4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret counsel of +God was over my tent,
Job 29:5 When the Almighty was yet with me, my young men round about me;
Job 29:6 When my steps were bathed in milk, and the rock poured out beside me rivers of oil! ...
Job 29:7 When I went out to the gate by the city, when I prepared my seat on the broadway,
Job 29:8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves; and the aged arose [and] stood up;
Job 29:9 Princes refrained from talking, and laid the hand on their mouth;
Job 29:10 The voice of the nobles was hushed, and their tongue cleaved to their palate.
Job 29:11 When the ear heard [me], then it blessed me, and when the eye saw [me], it gave witness to me;
Job 29:12 For I delivered the afflicted that cried, and the fatherless who had no helper.
Job 29:13 The blessing of him that was perishing came upon me, and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Job 29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was as a mantle and a turban.
Job 29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame;
Job 29:16 I was a father to the needy, and the cause which I knew not I searched out;
Job 29:17 And I broke the jaws of the unrighteous, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
Job 29:18 And I said, I shall die in my nest, and multiply my days as the sand;
Job 29:19 My root shall be spread out to the waters, and the dew will lie all night on my branch;
Job 29:20 My glory shall be fresh in me, and my bow be renewed in my hand.
Job 29:21 Unto me they listened, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel:
Job 29:22 After my words they spoke not again, and my speech dropped upon them;
Job 29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain, and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Job 29:24 [If] I laughed on them, they believed [it] not; and they troubled not the serenity of my countenance.
Job 29:25 I chose their way, and sat as chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth mourners.
Job 30:1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.
Job 30:2 Yea, whereto [should] the strength of their hands [profit] me, [men] in whom vigour hath perished?
Job 30:3 Withered up through want and hunger, they flee into waste places long since desolate and desert:
Job 30:4 They gather the salt-wort among the bushes, and the roots of the broom for their food.
Job 30:5 They are driven forth from among [men] -- they cry after them as after a thief --
Job 30:6 To dwell in gloomy gorges, in caves of the earth and the rocks:
Job 30:7 They bray among the bushes; under the brambles they are gathered together:
Job 30:8 Sons of fools, and sons of nameless sires, they are driven out of the land.
Job 30:9 And now I am their song, yea, I am their byword.
Job 30:10 They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, yea, they spare not to spit in my face.
Job 30:11 For he hath loosed my cord and afflicted me; so they cast off the bridle before me.
Job 30:12 At [my] right hand rise the young brood; they push away my feet, and raise up against me their pernicious ways;
Job 30:13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, without any to help them;
Job 30:14 They come in as through a wide breach: amid the confusion they roll themselves onward.
Job 30:15 Terrors are turned against me; they pursue mine honour as the wind; and my welfare is passed away like a cloud.
Job 30:16 And now my soul is poured out in me; days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
Job 30:17 The night pierceth through my bones [and detacheth them] from me, and my gnawing pains take no rest:
Job 30:18 By their great force they have become my raiment; they bind me about as the collar of my coat.
Job 30:19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I have become like dust and ashes.
Job 30:20 I cry unto thee, and thou answerest me not; I stand up, and thou lookest at me.
Job 30:21 Thou art changed to a cruel one to me; with the strength of thy hand thou pursuest me.
Job 30:22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to be borne away, and dissolvest my substance.
Job 30:23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and into the house of assemblage for all living.
Job 30:24 Indeed, no prayer [availeth] when he stretcheth out [his] hand: though they cry when he destroyeth.
Job 30:25 Did not I weep for him whose days were hard? was not my soul grieved for the needy?
Job 30:26 For I expected good, and there came evil; and I waited for light, but there came darkness.
Job 30:27 My bowels well up, and rest not; days of affliction have confronted me.
Job 30:28 I go about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand up, I cry in the congregation.
Job 30:29 I am become a brother to jackals, and a companion of ostriches.
Job 30:30 My skin is become black [and falleth] off me, and my bones are parched with heat.
Job 30:31 My harp also is [turned] to mourning, and my pipe into the voice of weepers.
Job 31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; and how should I fix my regard upon a maid?
Job 31:2 For what would have been [my] portion of +God from above, and what the heritage of the Almighty from on high?
Job 31:3 Is not calamity for the unrighteous? and misfortune for the workers of iniquity?
Job 31:4 Doth not he see my ways, and number all my steps?
Job 31:5 If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot hath hasted to deceit,
Job 31:6 (Let me be weighed in an even balance, and +God will take knowledge of my blamelessness;)
Job 31:7 If my step have turned out of the way, and my heart followed mine eyes, and if any blot cleaveth to my hands;
Job 31:8 Let me sow, and another eat; and let mine offspring be rooted out.
Job 31:9 If my heart have been enticed unto a woman, so that I laid wait at my neighbour's door,
Job 31:10 Let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down upon her.
Job 31:11 For this is an infamy; yea, it is an iniquity [to be judged by] the judges:
Job 31:12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
Job 31:13 If I have despised the cause of my bondman or of my bondmaid, when they contended with me,
Job 31:14 What then should I do when *God riseth up? and if he visited, what should I answer him?
Job 31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not One fashion us in the womb?
Job 31:16 If I have withheld the poor from [their] desire, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
Job 31:17 Or have eaten my morsel alone, so that the fatherless ate not thereof,
Job 31:18 (For from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, and I have guided the [widow] from my mother's womb;)
Job 31:19 If I have seen any perishing for want of clothing, or any needy without covering;
Job 31:20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my lambs;
Job 31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against an orphan, because I saw my help in the gate:
Job 31:22 [Then] let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone!
Job 31:23 For calamity from *God was a terror to me, and by reason of his excellency I was powerless.
Job 31:24 If I have made gold my hope, or said to the fine gold, My confidence!
Job 31:25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because my hand had gotten much;
Job 31:26 If I beheld the sun when it shone, or the moon walking in brightness,
Job 31:27 And my heart have been secretly enticed, so that my mouth kissed my hand:
Job 31:28 This also would be an iniquity for the judge, for I should have denied the *God who is above.
Job 31:29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, and exulted when evil befell him;
Job 31:30 (Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse;)
Job 31:31 If the men of my tent said not, Who shall find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat? --
Job 31:32 The stranger did not lodge without; I opened my doors to the pathway.
Job 31:33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom,
Job 31:34 Because I feared the great multitude, and the contempt of families terrified me, so that I kept silence, and went not out of the door, ...
Job 31:35 Oh that I had one to hear me! Behold my signature: let the Almighty answer me! And let mine opponent write an accusation!
Job 31:36 Would I not take it upon my shoulder? I would bind it on to me [as] a crown;
Job 31:37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I come near to him.
Job 31:38 If my land cry out against me, and its furrows weep together;
Job 31:39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, and have tormented to death the souls of its owners:
Job 31:40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and tares instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
Job 32:1 And these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Job 32:2 Then was kindled the anger of Elihu the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his anger kindled, because he justified himself rather than God;
Job 32:3 and against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they found no answer, and [yet] condemned Job.
Job 32:4 But Elihu had waited till Job had finished speaking, because they were older than he.
Job 32:5 And Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger was kindled.
Job 32:6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are aged; wherefore I was timid, and feared to shew you what I know.
Job 32:7 I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.
Job 32:8 But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
Job 32:9 It is not the great that are wise; neither do the aged understand judgment.
Job 32:10 Therefore I say, Hearken to me; I also will shew what I know.
Job 32:11 Lo, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasonings, until ye searched out what to say.
Job 32:12 Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words;
Job 32:13 That ye may not say, We have found out wisdom; *God will make him yield, not man.
Job 32:14 Now he hath not directed [his] words against me; and I will not answer him with your speeches. ...
Job 32:15 They were amazed, they answered no more; words failed them.
Job 32:16 And I waited, for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more; --
Job 32:17 I will answer, I also in my turn, I also will shew what I know:
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; like new flasks, it is ready to burst.
Job 32:20 I will speak, that I may find relief; I will open my lips and answer.
Job 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person; neither will I give flattery to man.
Job 32:22 For I know not how to flatter; my Maker would soon take me away.
Job 33:1 Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear mine utterances, and hearken to all my words.
Job 33:2 Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue speaketh in my palate,
Job 33:3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart, and my lips shall utter knowledge purely.
Job 33:4 The Spirit of *God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
Job 33:5 If thou canst, answer me; array [thy words] before me: take thy stand.
Job 33:6 Behold, before *God I am as thou; I also am formed out of the clay.
Job 33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, nor my burden be heavy upon thee.
Job 33:8 Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy] words: --
Job 33:9 I am clean without transgression; I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me;
Job 33:10 Lo, he findeth occasions of hostility against me, he counteth me for his enemy;
Job 33:11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
Job 33:12 Behold, I will answer thee in this, thou art not right; for +God is greater than man.
Job 33:13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
Job 33:14 For *God speaketh once, and twice, -- [and man] perceiveth it not --
Job 33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
Job 33:16 Then he openeth men's ears, and sealeth their instruction,
Job 33:17 That he may withdraw man [from his] work, and hide pride from man.
Job 33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away by the sword.
Job 33:19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and with constant strife in his bones;
Job 33:20 And his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty food;
Job 33:21 His flesh is consumed away from view, and his bones that were not seen stick out;
Job 33:22 And his soul draweth near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
Job 33:23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his duty;
Job 33:24 Then he will be gracious unto him, and say, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
Job 33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than in childhood; he shall return to the days of his youth.
Job 33:26 He shall pray unto +God, and he will receive him with favour; and he shall see his face with shoutings, and he will render unto man his righteousness.
Job 33:27 He will sing before men, and say, I have sinned, and perverted what was right, and it hath not been requited to me;
Job 33:28 He hath delivered my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall see the light.
Job 33:29 Lo, all these [things] worketh *God twice, thrice, with man,
Job 33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
Job 33:31 Mark well, Job, hearken unto me; be silent, and I will speak.
Job 33:32 If thou hast anything to say, answer me; speak, for I desire to justify thee.
Job 33:33 If not, hearken thou unto me; be silent, and I will teach thee wisdom.
Job 34:1 Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Job 34:2 Hear my words, ye wise [men]; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
Job 34:3 For the ear trieth words, as the palate tasteth food.
Job 34:4 Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us know among ourselves what is good!
Job 34:5 For Job hath said, I am righteous, and *God hath taken away my judgment:
Job 34:6 Should I lie against my right? My wound is incurable without transgression.
Job 34:7 What man is like Job? he drinketh up scorning like water,
Job 34:8 And goeth in company with workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
Job 34:9 For he hath said, It profiteth not a man if he delight himself in God.
Job 34:10 Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be wickedness from *God, and wrong from the Almighty!
Job 34:11 For a man's work will he render to him, and cause every one to find according to [his] way.
Job 34:12 Yea, surely, *God acteth not wickedly, and the Almighty perverteth not judgment.
Job 34:13 Who hath entrusted to him the earth? and who hath disposed the whole world?
Job 34:14 If he only thought of himself, [and] gathered unto him his spirit and his breath,
Job 34:15 All flesh would expire together, and man would return to the dust.
Job 34:16 If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: give ear to the voice of my words!
Job 34:17 Should he that hateth right indeed govern? and wilt thou condemn the All-just?
Job 34:18 Shall one say to a king, Belial? to nobles, Wicked?
Job 34:19 [How then to him] that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich man more than the poor? for they are all the work of his hands.
Job 34:20 In a moment they die, even at midnight the people are convulsed and pass away; and the strong are taken away without hand.
Job 34:21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his steps.
Job 34:22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
Job 34:23 For he doth not long consider a man, to bring him before *God in judgment.
Job 34:24 He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquiry, and setteth others in their stead;
Job 34:25 Since he knoweth their actions; and he overthroweth [them] in the night, and they are crushed.
Job 34:26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others,
Job 34:27 Because they have turned back from him, and would consider none of his ways;
Job 34:28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
Job 34:29 When he giveth quietness, who then will disturb? and when he hideth [his] face, who shall behold him? and this towards a nation, or towards a man alike;
Job 34:30 That the ungodly man reign not, that the people be not ensnared.
Job 34:31 For hath he said unto *God, I bear [chastisement], I will not offend;
Job 34:32 What I see not, teach thou me; if I have done wrong, I will do so no more?
Job 34:33 Shall he recompense according to thy mind? for thou hast refused [his judgment]; for thou so choosest, and not I; speak then what thou knowest.
Job 34:34 Men of understanding will say to me, and a wise man who heareth me:
Job 34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were not with intelligence.
Job 34:36 Would that Job may be tried unto the end, because of [his] answers after the manner of evil men!
Job 34:37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth [his hands] among us, and multiplieth his words against *God.
Job 35:1 Moreover Elihu answered and said,
Job 35:2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than *God's?
Job 35:3 For thou hast asked of what profit it is unto thee: what do I gain more than if I had sinned?
Job 35:4 I will reply to thee in words, and to thy companions with thee.
Job 35:5 Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.
Job 35:6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? If thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
Job 35:7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou to him? or what doth he receive of thy hand?
Job 35:8 Thy wickedness [may affect] a man as thou [art], and thy righteousness a son of man.
Job 35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry; they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty:
Job 35:10 But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,
Job 35:11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?
Job 35:12 There they cry, and he answereth not, because of the pride of evil men.
Job 35:13 Surely *God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.
Job 35:14 Although thou sayest thou dost not see him, judgment is before him, therefore wait for him.
Job 35:15 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not [Job] know [his] great arrogancy?
Job 35:16 For Job hath opened his mouth in vanity, and made words abundant without knowledge.
Job 36:1 And Elihu proceeded and said,
Job 36:2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet words for +God.
Job 36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Creator.
Job 36:4 For truly my words shall be no falsehood: one perfect in knowledge is with thee.
Job 36:5 Lo, *God is mighty, but despiseth not [any]; mighty in strength of understanding:
Job 36:6 He saveth not the wicked alive; but he doeth justice to the afflicted.
Job 36:7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne doth he even set them for ever; and they are exalted.
Job 36:8 And if, bound in fetters, they be held in cords of affliction,
Job 36:9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions, because they have increased.
Job 36:10 And he openeth their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.
Job 36:11 If they hearken and serve [him], they shall accomplish their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
Job 36:12 But if they hearken not, they shall pass away by the sword, and expire without knowledge.
Job 36:13 But the godless in heart heap up anger; they cry not when he bindeth them:
Job 36:14 Their soul dieth in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
Job 36:15 But he delivereth the afflicted in his affliction, and openeth their ear in [their] oppression.
Job 36:16 Even so would he have allured thee out of the jaws of distress into a broad place, where there is no straitness; and the supply of thy table [would be] full of fatness.
Job 36:17 But thou art full of the judgments of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold [on thee].
Job 36:18 Because there is wrath, [beware] lest it take thee away through chastisement: then a great ransom could not avail thee.
Job 36:19 Will he esteem thy riches? Not gold, nor all the resources of strength!
Job 36:20 Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off from their place.
Job 36:21 Take heed, turn not to iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.
Job 36:22 Lo, *God is exalted in his power: who teacheth as he?
Job 36:23 Who hath appointed him his way? or who hath said, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?
Job 36:24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men celebrate.
Job 36:25 All men look at it; man beholdeth [it] afar off.
Job 36:26 Lo, *God is great, and we comprehend [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
Job 36:27 For he draweth up the drops of water: they distil in rain from the vapour which he formeth,
Job 36:28 Which the skies pour down [and] drop upon man abundantly.
Job 36:29 But can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the crashing of his pavilion?
Job 36:30 Lo, he spreadeth his light around him, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
Job 36:31 For with them he judgeth the peoples; he giveth food in abundance.
Job 36:32 [His] hands he covereth with lightning, and commandeth it where it is to strike.
Job 36:33 His thundering declareth concerning him; the cattle even, concerning its coming.
Job 37:1 Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:
Job 37:2 Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.
Job 37:3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
Job 37:4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency, and holdeth not back the flashes when his voice is heard.
Job 37:5 *God thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.
Job 37:6 For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.
Job 37:7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
Job 37:8 And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.
Job 37:9 From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.
Job 37:10 By the breath of *God ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
Job 37:11 Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;
Job 37:12 And they are turned every way by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the circuit of the earth,
Job 37:13 Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.
Job 37:14 Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of *God.
Job 37:15 Dost thou know how +God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?
Job 37:16 Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
Job 37:17 How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
Job 37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?
Job 37:19 Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.
Job 37:20 Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.
Job 37:21 And now [men] see not the light as it gleameth, it is [hidden] in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.
Job 37:22 From the north cometh gold; with +God is terrible majesty.
Job 37:23 The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.
Job 37:24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
Job 38:1 And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,
Job 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
Job 38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; and I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.
Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I founded the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.
Job 38:5 Who set the measures thereof -- if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it?
Job 38:6 Whereupon were the foundations thereof sunken? or who laid its corner-stone,
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8 And who shut up the sea with doors, when it burst forth, issuing out of the womb?
Job 38:9 When I made the cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it;
Job 38:10 When I cut out for it my boundary, and set bars and doors,
Job 38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come and no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
Job 38:12 Hast thou since thy days commanded the morning? hast thou caused the dawn to know its place,
Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked might be shaken out of it?
Job 38:14 It is changed like the signet-clay; and [all things] stand forth as in a garment:
Job 38:15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the uplifted arm is broken.
Job 38:16 Hast thou entered as far as the springs of the sea? and hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?
Job 38:17 Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? and hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?
Job 38:18 Hath thine understanding compassed the breadths of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all.
Job 38:19 Where is the way to where light dwelleth? and the darkness, where is its place,
Job 38:20 That thou shouldest take it to its bound, and that thou shouldest know the paths to its house?
Job 38:21 Thou knowest, for thou wast then born, and the number of thy days is great!
Job 38:22 Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, and hast thou seen the treasuries of the hail,
Job 38:23 Which I have reserved for the time of distress, for the day of battle and war?
Job 38:24 By what way is the light parted, [and] the east wind scattered upon the earth?
Job 38:25 Who hath divided a channel for the rain-flood, and a way for the thunder's flash;
Job 38:26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no one is; on the wilderness wherein there is not a man;
Job 38:27 To satisfy the desolate and waste [ground], and to cause the sprout of the grass to spring forth?
Job 38:28 Hath the rain a father? or who begetteth the drops of dew?
Job 38:29 Out of whose womb cometh the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who bringeth it forth?
Job 38:30 When the waters lie hidden as in stone, and the face of the deep holdeth fast together.
Job 38:31 Canst thou fasten the bands of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?
Job 38:32 Dost thou bring forth the constellations each in its season? or dost thou guide the Bear with her sons?
Job 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? dost thou determine their rule over the earth?
Job 38:34 Dost thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that floods of waters may cover thee?
Job 38:35 Dost thou send forth lightnings that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
Job 38:36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the mind?
Job 38:37 Who numbereth the clouds with wisdom? or who poureth out the bottles of the heavens,
Job 38:38 When the dust runneth as into a molten mass, and the clods cleave fast together?
Job 38:39 Dost thou hunt the prey for the lioness, and dost thou satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
Job 38:40 When they crouch in [their] dens, [and] abide in the thicket to lie in wait?
Job 38:41 Who provideth for the raven his food, when his young ones cry unto *God, [and] they wander for lack of meat?
Job 39:1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? dost thou mark the calving of the hinds?
Job 39:2 Dost thou number the months that they fulfil? and knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
Job 39:3 They bow themselves, they give birth to their young ones, they cast out their pains;
Job 39:4 Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field, they go forth, and return not unto them.
Job 39:5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? and who hath loosed the bands of the onager,
Job 39:6 Whose house I made the wilderness, and the salt plain his dwellings?
Job 39:7 He laugheth at the tumult of the city, and heareth not the shouts of the driver;
Job 39:8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.
Job 39:9 Will the buffalo be willing to serve thee, or will he lodge by thy crib?
Job 39:10 Canst thou bind the buffalo with his cord in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?
Job 39:11 Wilt thou put confidence in him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou leave thy labour to him?
Job 39:12 Wilt thou trust him to bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy threshing-floor?
Job 39:13 The wing of the ostrich beats joyously -- But is it the stork's pinion and plumage?
Job 39:14 For she leaveth her eggs to the earth, and warmeth them in the dust,
Job 39:15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may trample them.
Job 39:16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers; her labour is in vain, without her concern.
Job 39:17 For +God hath deprived her of wisdom, and hath not furnished her with understanding.
Job 39:18 What time she lasheth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.
Job 39:19 Hast thou given strength to the horse? hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?
Job 39:20 Dost thou make him to leap as a locust? His majestic snorting is terrible.
Job 39:21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in [his] strength; he goeth forth to meet the armed host.
Job 39:22 He laugheth at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from before the sword.
Job 39:23 The quiver rattleth upon him, the glittering spear and the javelin.
Job 39:24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage, and cannot contain himself at the sound of the trumpet:
Job 39:25 At the noise of the trumpets he saith, Aha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.
Job 39:26 Doth the hawk fly by thine intelligence, [and] stretch his wings toward the south?
Job 39:27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make his nest on high?
Job 39:28 He inhabiteth the rock and maketh his dwelling on the point of the cliff, and the fastness:
Job 39:29 From thence he spieth out the prey, his eyes look into the distance;
Job 39:30 And his young ones suck up blood; and where the slain are, there is he.
Job 40:1 And Jehovah answered Job and said,
Job 40:2 Shall he that will contend with the Almighty instruct [him]? he that reproveth +God, let him answer it.
Job 40:3 And Job answered Jehovah and said,
Job 40:4 Behold, I am nought: what shall I answer thee? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.
Job 40:5 Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; yea twice, but I will proceed no further.
Job 40:6 And Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,
Job 40:7 Gird up now thy loins like a man: I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.
Job 40:8 Wilt thou also annul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me that thou mayest be righteous?
Job 40:9 Hast thou an arm like *God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?
Job 40:10 Deck thyself now with glory and excellency, and clothe thyself with majesty and splendour.
Job 40:11 Cast abroad the ragings of thine anger, and look on every one that is proud, and abase him:
Job 40:12 Look on every one that is proud, bring him low, and tread down the wicked in their place:
Job 40:13 Hide them in the dust together; bind their faces in secret.
Job 40:14 Then will I also praise thee, because thy right hand saveth thee.
Job 40:15 See now the behemoth, which I made with thee: he eateth grass as an ox.
Job 40:16 Behold now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the muscles of his belly.
Job 40:17 He bendeth his tail like a cedar; the sinews of his thighs are woven together.
Job 40:18 His bones are tubes of bronze, his members are like bars of iron.
Job 40:19 He is the chief of *God's ways: he that made him gave him his sword.
Job 40:20 For the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.
Job 40:21 He lieth under lotus-bushes, in the covert of the reed and fen:
Job 40:22 Lotus-bushes cover him with their shade; the willows of the brook surround him.
Job 40:23 Lo, the river overfloweth -- he startleth not: he is confident though a Jordan break forth against his mouth.
Job 40:24 Shall he be taken in front? will they pierce through [his] nose in the trap?
Job 41:1 Wilt thou draw out the leviathan with the hook, and press down his tongue with a cord?
Job 41:2 Wilt thou put a rush-rope into his nose, and pierce his jaw with a spike?
Job 41:3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak softly unto thee?
Job 41:4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him as a bondman for ever?
Job 41:5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird, and wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?
Job 41:6 Shall partners make traffic of him, will they divide him among merchants?
Job 41:7 Wilt thou fill his skin with darts, and his head with fish-spears?
Job 41:8 Lay thy hand upon him; remember the battle, -- do no more!
Job 41:9 Lo, hope as to him is belied: is not one cast down even at the sight of him?
Job 41:10 None is so bold as to stir him up; and who is he that will stand before me?
Job 41:11 Who hath first given to me, that I should repay [him]? [Whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine.
Job 41:12 I will not be silent as to his parts, the story of his power, and the beauty of his structure.
Job 41:13 Who can uncover the surface of his garment? who can come within his double jaws?
Job 41:14 Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.
Job 41:15 The rows of his shields are a pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal.
Job 41:16 One is so near to another that no air can come between them;
Job 41:17 They are joined each to its fellow; they stick together, and cannot be sundered.
Job 41:18 His sneezings flash light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
Job 41:19 Out of his mouth go forth flames; sparks of fire leap out:
Job 41:20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a boiling pot and cauldron.
Job 41:21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
Job 41:22 In his neck lodgeth strength, and terror danceth before him.
Job 41:23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are fused upon him, they cannot be moved.
Job 41:24 His heart is firm as a stone, yea, firm as the nether [millstone].
Job 41:25 When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: they are beside themselves with consternation.
Job 41:26 If any reach him with a sword, it cannot hold; neither spear, nor dart, nor harpoon.
Job 41:27 He esteemeth iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood.
Job 41:28 The arrow will not make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
Job 41:29 Clubs are counted as stubble; he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin.
Job 41:30 His under parts are sharp potsherds: he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.
Job 41:31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment;
Job 41:32 He maketh the path to shine after him: one would think the deep to be hoary.
Job 41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
Job 41:34 He beholdeth all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.
Job 42:1 And Job answered Jehovah and said,
Job 42:2 I know that thou canst do everything, and that thou canst be hindered in no thought of thine.
Job 42:3 Who is he that obscureth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
Job 42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and inform me.
Job 42:5 I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee:
Job 42:6 Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.
Job 42:7 And it came to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job.
Job 42:8 And now, take for yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you, for him will I accept: lest I deal with you [after your] folly, for ye have not spoken of me rightly, like my servant Job.
Job 42:9 Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did according as Jehovah had said unto them; and Jehovah accepted Job.
Job 42:10 And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he had prayed for his friends; and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.
Job 42:11 And all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they condoled with him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money, and every one a golden ring.
Job 42:12 And Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.
Job 42:13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.
Job 42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.
Job 42:15 And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
Job 42:16 And Job lived after this a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.
Job 42:17 And Job died, old and full of days.
