Young's Literal Translation
1898 by Robert Young
Job 1:1 A man there hath been in the land of Uz -- Job his name -- and that man hath been perfect and upright -- both fearing God, and turning aside from evil.
Job 1:2 And there are borne to him seven sons and three daughters,
Job 1:3 and his substance is seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred pairs of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a service very abundant; and that man is greater than any of the sons of the east.
Job 1:4 And his sons have gone and made a banquet -- the house of each `in' his day -- and have sent and called to their three sisters to eat and to drink with them;
Job 1:5 and it cometh to pass, when they have gone round the days of the banquet, that Job doth send and sanctify them, and hath risen early in the morning, and caused to ascend burnt-offerings -- the number of them all -- for Job said, `Perhaps my sons have sinned, yet blessed God in their heart.' Thus doth Job all the days.
Job 1:6 And the day is, that sons of God come in to station themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary in their midst.
Job 1:7 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Whence comest thou?' And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down on it.'
Job 1:8 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Hast thou set thy heart against My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God, and turning aside from evil?'
Job 1:9 And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `For nought is Job fearing God?
Job 1:10 Hast not Thou made a hedge for him, and for his house, and for all that he hath -- round about?
Job 1:11 The work of his hands Thou hast blessed, and his substance hath spread in the land, and yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike against anything that he hath -- if not: to Thy face he doth bless Thee!'
Job 1:12 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Lo, all that he hath `is' in thy hand, only unto him put not forth thy hand.' And the Adversary goeth out from the presence of Jehovah.
Job 1:13 And the day is, that his sons and his daughters are eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their brother, the first-born.
Job 1:14 And a messenger hath come in unto Job and saith, `The oxen have been plowing, and the she-asses feeding by their sides,
Job 1:15 and Sheba doth fall, and take them, and the young men they have smitten by the mouth of the sword, and I am escaped -- only I alone -- to declare `it' to thee.'
Job 1:16 While this `one' is speaking another also hath come and saith, `Fire of God hath fallen from the heavens, and burneth among the flock, and among the young men, and consumeth them, and I am escaped -- only I alone -- to declare `it' to thee.'
Job 1:17 While this `one' is speaking another also hath come and saith, `Chaldeans made three heads, and rush on the camels, and take them, and the young men they have smitten by the mouth of the sword, and I am escaped -- only I alone -- to declare `it' to thee.'
Job 1:18 While this `one' is speaking another also hath come and saith, `Thy sons and thy daughters are eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their brother, the first-born.
Job 1:19 And lo, a great wind hath come from over the wilderness, and striketh against the four corners of the house, and it falleth on the young men, and they are dead, and I am escaped -- only I alone -- to declare `it' to thee.'
Job 1:20 And Job riseth, and rendeth his robe, and shaveth his head, and falleth to the earth, and doth obeisance,
Job 1:21 and he saith, `Naked came I forth from the womb of my mother, and naked I turn back thither: Jehovah hath given and Jehovah hath taken: let the name of Jehovah be blessed.'
Job 1:22 In all this Job hath not sinned, nor given folly to God.
Job 2:1 And the day is, that sons of God come in to station themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary in their midst to station himself by Jehovah.
Job 2:2 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Whence camest thou?' And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `From going to and fro in the land, and from walking up and down in it.'
Job 2:3 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Hast thou set thy heart unto My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? and still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and thou dost move Me against him to swallow him up for nought!'
Job 2:4 And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, `A skin for a skin, and all that a man hath he doth give for his life.
Job 2:5 Yet, put forth, I pray Thee, Thy hand, and strike unto his bone and unto his flesh -- if not: unto Thy face he doth bless Thee!'
Job 2:6 And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, `Lo, he `is' in thy hand; only his life take care of.'
Job 2:7 And the Adversary goeth forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smiteth Job with a sore ulcer from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
Job 2:8 And he taketh to him a potsherd to scrape himself with it, and he is sitting in the midst of the ashes.
Job 2:9 And his wife saith to him, `Still thou art keeping hold on thine integrity: bless God and die.'
Job 2:10 And he saith unto her, `As one of the foolish women speaketh, thou speakest; yea, the good we receive from God, and the evil we do not receive.' In all this Job hath not sinned with his lips.
Job 2:11 And three of the friends of Job hear of all this evil that hath come upon him, and they come in each from his place -- Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite -- and they are met together to come in to bemoan him, and to comfort him;
Job 2:12 and they lift up their eyes from afar and have not discerned him, and they lift up their voice and weep, and rend each his robe, and sprinkle dust on their heads -- heavenward.
Job 2:13 And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking unto him a word when they have seen that the pain hath been very great.
Job 3:1 After this hath Job opened his mouth, and revileth his day.
Job 3:2 And Job answereth and saith: --
Job 3:3 Let the day perish in which I am born, And the night that hath said: `A man-child hath been conceived.'
Job 3:4 That day -- let it be darkness, Let not God require it from above, Nor let light shine upon it.
Job 3:5 Let darkness and death-shade redeem it, Let a cloud tabernacle upon it, Let them terrify it as the most bitter of days.

Job 3:11 Why from the womb do I not die? From the belly I have come forth and gasp!
Job 3:12 Wherefore have knees been before me? And what `are' breasts, that I suck?

Job 3:21 Who are waiting for death, and it is not, And they seek it above hid treasures.
Job 3:22 Who are glad -- unto joy, They rejoice when they find a grave.
Job 3:23 To a man whose way hath been hidden, And whom God doth shut up?
Job 3:24 For before my food, my sighing cometh, And poured out as waters `are' my roarings.
Job 3:25 For a fear I feared and it meeteth me, And what I was afraid of doth come to me.
Job 3:26 I was not safe -- nor was I quiet -- Nor was I at rest -- and trouble cometh!
Job 4:1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --

Job 11:14 If iniquity `is' in thy hand, put it far off, And let not perverseness dwell in thy tents.
Job 11:15 For then thou liftest up thy face from blemish, And thou hast been firm, and fearest not.
Job 11:16 For thou dost forget misery, As waters passed away thou rememberest.
Job 11:17 And above the noon doth age rise, Thou fliest -- as the morning thou art.
Job 11:18 And thou hast trusted because their is hope, And searched -- in confidence thou liest down,
Job 11:19 And thou hast rested, And none is causing trembling, And many have entreated thy face;

Job 12:8 Or talk to the earth, and it sheweth thee, And fishes of the sea recount to thee:
Job 12:9 `Who hath not known in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath done this?
Job 12:10 In whose hand `is' the breath of every living thing, And the spirit of all flesh of man.'
Job 12:11 Doth not the ear try words? And the palate taste food for itself?
Job 12:12 With the very aged `is' wisdom, And `with' length of days understanding.
Job 12:13 With Him `are' wisdom and might, To him `are' counsel and understanding.
Job 12:14 Lo, He breaketh down, and it is not built up, He shutteth against a man, And it is not opened.
Job 12:15 Lo, He keepeth in the waters, and they are dried up, And he sendeth them forth, And they overturn the land.
Job 12:16 With Him `are' strength and wisdom, His the deceived and deceiver.
Job 12:17 Causing counsellors to go away a spoil, And judges He maketh foolish.
Job 12:18 The bands of kings He hath opened, And He bindeth a girdle on their loins.
Job 12:19 Causing ministers to go away a spoil And strong ones He overthroweth.
Job 12:20 Turning aside the lip of the stedfast, And the reason of the aged He taketh away.
Job 12:21 Pouring contempt upon princes, And the girdle of the mighty He made feeble.
Job 12:22 Removing deep things out of darkness, And He bringeth out to light death-shade.
Job 12:23 Magnifying the nations, and He destroyeth them, Spreading out the nations, and He quieteth them.
Job 12:24 Turning aside the heart Of the heads of the people of the land, And he causeth them to wander In vacancy -- no way!
Job 12:25 They feel darkness, and not light, He causeth them to wander as a drunkard.
Job 13:1 Lo, all -- hath mine eye seen, Heard hath mine ear, and it attendeth to it.
Job 13:2 According to your knowledge I have known -- also I. I am not fallen more than you.
Job 13:3 Yet I for the Mighty One do speak, And to argue for God I delight.
Job 13:4 And yet, ye `are' forgers of falsehood, Physicians of nought -- all of you,
Job 13:5 O that ye would keep perfectly silent, And it would be to you for wisdom.
Job 13:6 Hear, I pray you, my argument, And to the pleadings of my lips attend,
Job 13:7 For God do ye speak perverseness? And for Him do ye speak deceit?
Job 13:8 His face do ye accept, if for God ye strive?
Job 13:9 Is `it' good that He doth search you, If, as one mocketh at a man, ye mock at Him?
Job 13:10 He doth surely reprove you, if in secret ye accept faces.
Job 13:11 Doth not His excellency terrify you? And His dread fall upon you?
Job 13:12 Your remembrances `are' similes of ashes, For high places of clay your heights.
Job 13:13 Keep silent from me, and I speak, And pass over me doth what?
Job 13:14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put in my hand?
Job 13:15 Lo, He doth slay me -- I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue.
Job 13:16 Also -- He `is' to me for salvation, For the profane cometh not before Him.
Job 13:17 Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your ears.
Job 13:18 Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have known that I am righteous.
Job 13:19 Who `is' he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp.
Job 13:20 Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden.
Job 13:21 Thy hand put far off from me, And Thy terror let not terrify me.
Job 13:22 And call Thou, and I -- I answer, Or -- I speak, and answer Thou me.
Job 13:23 How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and my sin let me know.
Job 13:24 Why dost Thou hide Thy face? And reckonest me for an enemy to Thee?
Job 13:25 A leaf driven away dost Thou terrify? And the dry stubble dost Thou pursue?
Job 13:26 For Thou writest against me bitter things, And causest me to possess iniquities of my youth:
Job 13:27 And puttest in the stocks my feet, And observest all my paths, On the roots of my feet Thou settest a print,
Job 13:28 And he, as a rotten thing, weareth away, As a garment hath a moth consumed him.
Job 14:1 Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble!
Job 14:2 As a flower he hath gone forth, and is cut off, And he fleeth as a shadow and standeth not.

Job 14:4 Who giveth a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
Job 14:5 If determined are his days, The number of his months `are' with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over;
Job 14:6 Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as an hireling his day.
Job 14:7 For there is of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease.
Job 14:8 If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust,
Job 14:9 From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant.
Job 14:10 And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where `is' he?
Job 14:11 Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry.
Job 14:12 And man hath lain down, and riseth not, Till the wearing out of the heavens they awake not, Nor are roused from their sleep.
Job 14:13 O that in Sheol Thou wouldst conceal me, Hide me till the turning of Thine anger, Set for me a limit, and remember me.
Job 14:14 If a man dieth -- doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.
Job 14:15 Thou dost call, and I -- I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast desire.
Job 14:16 But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.
Job 14:17 Sealed up in a bag `is' my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity.
Job 14:18 And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is removed from its place.
Job 14:19 Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.
Job 14:20 Thou prevailest `over' him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away.
Job 14:21 Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them.
Job 14:22 Only -- his flesh for him is pained, And his soul for him doth mourn.'
Job 15:1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --
Job 15:2 Doth a wise man answer `with' vain knowledge? And fill `with' an east wind his belly?
Job 15:3 To reason with a word not useful? And speeches -- no profit in them?
Job 15:4 Yea, thou dost make reverence void, And dost diminish meditation before God.
Job 15:5 For thy mouth teacheth thine iniquity, And thou chooseth the tongue of the subtile.
Job 15:6 Thy mouth declareth thee wicked, and not I, And thy lips testify against thee.
Job 15:7 The first man art thou born? And before the heights wast thou formed?
Job 15:8 Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom?
Job 15:9 What hast thou known, and we know not? Understandest thou -- and it is not with us?
Job 15:10 Both the gray-headed And the very aged `are' among us -- Greater than thy father `in' days.
Job 15:11 Too few for thee are the comforts of God? And a gentle word `is' with thee,
Job 15:12 What -- doth thine heart take thee away? And what -- are thine eyes high?
Job 15:13 For thou turnest against God thy spirit? And hast brought out words from thy mouth:
Job 15:14 What `is' man that he is pure, And that he is righteous, one born of woman?
Job 15:15 Lo, in His holy ones He putteth no credence, And the heavens have not been pure in His eyes.
Job 15:16 Also -- surely abominable and filthy Is man drinking as water perverseness.

Job 15:18 Which the wise declare -- And have not hid -- from their fathers.

Job 15:23 He is wandering for bread -- `Where `is' it?' He hath known that ready at his hand Is a day of darkness.
Job 15:24 Terrify him do adversity and distress, They prevail over him As a king ready for a boaster.
Job 15:25 For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the Mighty he maketh himself mighty.
Job 15:26 He runneth unto Him with a neck, With thick bosses of his shields.
Job 15:27 For he hath covered his face with his fat, And maketh vigour over `his' confidence.
Job 15:28 And he inhabiteth cities cut off, houses not dwelt in, That have been ready to become heaps.
Job 15:29 He is not rich, nor doth his wealth rise, Nor doth he stretch out on earth their continuance.
Job 15:30 He turneth not aside from darkness, His tender branch doth a flame dry up, And he turneth aside at the breath of His mouth!
Job 15:31 Let him not put credence in vanity, He hath been deceived, For vanity is his recompence.
Job 15:32 Not in his day is it completed, And his bending branch is not green.
Job 15:33 He shaketh off as a vine his unripe fruit, And casteth off as an olive his blossom.
Job 15:34 For the company of the profane `is' gloomy, And fire hath consumed tents of bribery.
Job 15:35 To conceive misery, and to bear iniquity, Even their heart doth prepare deceit.
Job 16:1 And Job answereth and saith: --
Job 16:2 I have heard many such things, Miserable comforters `are' ye all.
Job 16:3 Is there an end to words of wind? Or what doth embolden thee that thou answerest?
Job 16:4 I also, like you, might speak, If your soul were in my soul's stead. I might join against you with words, And nod at you with my head.
Job 16:5 I might harden you with my mouth, And the moving of my lips might be sparing.
Job 16:6 If I speak, my pain is not restrained, And I cease -- what goeth from me?
Job 16:7 Only, now, it hath wearied me; Thou hast desolated all my company,
Job 16:8 And Thou dost loathe me, For a witness it hath been, And rise up against me doth my failure, In my face it testifieth.
Job 16:9 His anger hath torn, and he hateth me, He hath gnashed at me with his teeth, My adversary sharpeneth his eyes for me.

Job 16:15 Sackcloth I have sewed on my skin, And have rolled in the dust my horn.
Job 16:16 My face is foul with weeping, And on mine eyelids `is' death-shade.
Job 16:17 Not for violence in my hands, And my prayer `is' pure.
Job 16:18 O earth, do not thou cover my blood! And let there not be a place for my cry.
Job 16:19 Also, now, lo, in the heavens `is' my witness, And my testifier in the high places.
Job 16:20 My interpreter `is' my friend, Unto God hath mine eye dropped:

Job 16:22 When a few years do come, Then a path I return not do I go.
Job 17:1 My spirit hath been destroyed, My days extinguished -- graves `are' for me.
Job 17:2 If not -- mockeries `are' with me. And in their provocations mine eye lodgeth.
Job 17:3 Place, I pray Thee, my pledge with Thee; Who is he that striketh hand with me?
Job 17:4 For their heart Thou hast hidden From understanding, Therefore Thou dost not exalt them.
Job 17:5 For a portion he sheweth friendship, And the eyes of his sons are consumed.

Job 20:2 Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, And because of my sensations in me.
Job 20:3 The chastisement of my shame I hear, And the spirit of mine understanding Doth cause me to answer:
Job 20:4 This hast thou known from antiquity? Since the placing of man on earth?
Job 20:5 That the singing of the wicked `is' short, And the joy of the profane for a moment,
Job 20:6 Though his excellency go up to the heavens, And his head against a cloud he strike --
Job 20:7 As his own dung for ever he doth perish, His beholders say: `Where `is' he?'

Job 20:14 His food in his bowels is turned, The bitterness of asps `is' in his heart.
Job 20:15 Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out.
Job 20:16 Gall of asps he sucketh, Slay him doth the tongue of a viper.
Job 20:17 He looketh not on rivulets, Flowing of brooks of honey and butter.
Job 20:18 He is giving back `what' he laboured for, And doth not consume `it'; As a bulwark `is' his exchange, and he exults not.
Job 20:19 For he oppressed -- he forsook the poor, A house he hath taken violently away, And he doth not build it.
Job 20:20 For he hath not known ease in his belly. With his desirable thing he delivereth not himself.
Job 20:21 There is not a remnant to his food, Therefore his good doth not stay.
Job 20:22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he is straitened. Every perverse hand doth meet him.
Job 20:23 It cometh to pass, at the filling of his belly, He sendeth forth against him The fierceness of His anger, Yea, He raineth on him in his eating.
Job 20:24 He fleeth from an iron weapon, Pass through him doth a bow of brass.
Job 20:25 One hath drawn, And it cometh out from the body, And a glittering weapon from his gall proceedeth. On him `are' terrors.

Job 21:5 Turn unto me, and be astonished, And put hand to mouth.
Job 21:6 Yea, if I have remembered, then I have been troubled. And my flesh hath taken fright.
Job 21:7 Wherefore do the wicked live? They have become old, Yea, they have been mighty in wealth.
Job 21:8 Their seed is established, Before their face with them, And their offspring before their eyes.
Job 21:9 Their houses `are' peace without fear, Nor `is' a rod of God upon them.
Job 21:10 His bullock hath eaten corn, and doth not loath. His cow bringeth forth safely, And doth not miscarry.
Job 21:11 They send forth as a flock their sucklings, And their children skip,
Job 21:12 They lift `themselves' up at timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of an organ.
Job 21:13 They wear out in good their days, And in a moment `to' Sheol go down.
Job 21:14 And they say to God, `Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.
Job 21:15 What `is' the Mighty One that we serve Him? And what do we profit when we meet with Him?'
Job 21:16 Lo, not in their hand `is' their good, (The counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)
Job 21:17 How oft is the lamp of the wicked extinguished, And come on them doth their calamity? Pangs He apportioneth in His anger.
Job 21:18 They are as straw before wind, And as chaff a hurricane hath stolen away,
Job 21:19 God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth recompense unto him -- and he knoweth.
Job 21:20 His own eyes see his destruction, And of the wrath of the Mighty he drinketh.
Job 21:21 For what `is' his delight in his house after him, And the number of his months cut off?
Job 21:22 To God doth `one' teach knowledge, And He the high doth judge?
Job 21:23 This `one' dieth in his perfect strength, Wholly at ease and quiet.
Job 21:24 His breasts have been full of milk, And marrow his bones doth moisten.
Job 21:25 And this `one' dieth with a bitter soul, And have not eaten with gladness.
Job 21:26 Together -- on the dust they lie down, And the worm doth cover them over.
Job 21:27 Lo, I have known your thoughts, And the devices against me ye do wrongfully.
Job 21:28 For ye say, `Where `is' the house of the noble? And where the tent -- The tabernacles of the wicked?'
Job 21:29 Have ye not asked those passing by the way? And their signs do ye not know?
Job 21:30 That to a day of calamity is the wicked spared. To a day of wrath they are brought.
Job 21:31 Who doth declare to his face his way? And `for' that which he hath done, Who doth give recompence to him?
Job 21:32 And he -- to the graves he is brought. And over the heap a watch is kept.
Job 21:33 Sweet to him have been the clods of the valley, And after him every man he draweth, And before him there is no numbering.
Job 21:34 And how do ye comfort me `with' vanity, And in your answers hath been left trespass?
Job 22:1 And Eliphaz the Temanite answereth and saith: --
Job 22:2 To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable?
Job 22:3 Is it a delight to the Mighty One That thou art righteous? is it gain, That thou makest perfect thy ways?
Job 22:4 Because of thy reverence Doth He reason `with' thee? He entereth with thee into judgment:
Job 22:5 Is not thy wickedness abundant? And there is no end to thine iniquities.
Job 22:6 For thou takest a pledge of thy brother for nought, And the garments of the naked Thou dost strip off.
Job 22:7 Thou causest not the weary to drink water, And from the hungry thou withholdest bread.
Job 22:8 As to the man of arm -- he hath the earth, And the accepted of face -- he dwelleth in it.
Job 22:9 Widows thou hast sent away empty, And the arms of the fatherless are bruised.
Job 22:10 Therefore round about thee `are' snares, And trouble thee doth fear suddenly.
Job 22:11 Or darkness -- thou dost not see, And abundance of waters doth cover thee.
Job 22:12 Is not God high `in' heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high.
Job 22:13 And thou hast said, `What -- hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?
Job 22:14 Thick clouds `are' a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,
Job 22:15 The path of the age dost thou observe, That men of iniquity have trodden?
Job 22:16 Who have been cut down unexpectedly, A flood is poured out on their foundation.
Job 22:17 Those saying to God, `Turn aside from us,' And what doth the Mighty One to them?
Job 22:18 And he hath filled their houses `with' good: (And the counsel of the wicked Hath been far from me.)
Job 22:19 See do the righteous and they rejoice, And the innocent mocketh at them,
Job 22:20 `Surely our substance hath not been cut off, And their excellency hath fire consumed.'
Job 22:21 Acquaint thyself, I pray thee, with Him, And be at peace, Thereby thine increase `is' good.
Job 22:22 Receive, I pray thee, from His mouth a law, And set His sayings in thy heart.
Job 22:23 If thou dost return unto the Mighty Thou art built up, Thou puttest iniquity far from thy tents.
Job 22:24 So as to set on the dust a defence, And on a rock of the valleys a covering.
Job 22:25 And the Mighty hath been thy defence, And silver `is' strength to thee.
Job 22:26 For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face,
Job 22:27 Thou dost make supplication unto Him, And He doth hear thee, And thy vows thou completest.
Job 22:28 And thou decreest a saying, And it is established to thee, And on thy ways hath light shone.
Job 22:29 For they have made low, And thou sayest, `Lift up.' And the bowed down of eyes he saveth.
Job 22:30 He delivereth the not innocent, Yea, he hath been delivered By the cleanness of thy hands.
Job 23:1 And Job answereth and saith: --
Job 23:2 Also -- to-day `is' my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing.
Job 23:3 O that I had known -- and I find Him, I come in unto His seat,
Job 23:4 I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill `with' arguments.
Job 23:5 I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.
Job 23:6 In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth `it' in me.
Job 23:7 There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.
Job 23:8 Lo, forward I go -- and He is not, And backward -- and I perceive him not.
Job 23:9 `To' the left in His working -- and I see not, He is covered `on' the right, and I behold not.
Job 23:10 For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth.
Job 23:11 On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside,
Job 23:12 The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth.
Job 23:13 And He `is' in one `mind', And who doth turn Him back? And His soul hath desired -- and He doth `it'.
Job 23:14 For He doth complete my portion, And many such things `are' with Him.
Job 23:15 Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him.
Job 23:16 And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.
Job 23:17 For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness.

Job 24:17 When together, morning `is' to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.
Job 24:18 Light he `is' on the face of the waters, Vilified is their portion in the earth, He turneth not the way of vineyards.

Job 24:24 High they were `for' a little, and they are not, And they have been brought low. As all `others' they are shut up, And as the head of an ear of corn cut off.

Job 27:9 His cry doth God hear, When distress cometh on him?
Job 27:10 On the Mighty doth he delight himself? Call God at all times?

Job 29:4 As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent.

Job 30:4 Those cropping mallows near a shrub, And broom-roots `is' their food.

Job 30:6 In a frightful place of valleys to dwell, Holes of earth and clefts.

Job 30:17 At night my bone hath been pierced in me, And mine eyelids do not lie down.
Job 30:18 By the abundance of power, Is my clothing changed, As the mouth of my coat it doth gird me.
Job 30:19 Casting me into mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.

Job 30:27 My bowels have boiled, and have not ceased, Gone before me have days of affliction.
Job 30:28 Mourning I have gone without the sun, I have risen, in an assembly I cry.
Job 30:29 A brother I have been to dragons, And a companion to daughters of the ostrich.
Job 30:30 My skin hath been black upon me, And my bone hath burned from heat,
Job 30:31 And my harp doth become mourning, And my organ the sound of weeping.
Job 31:1 A covenant I made for mine eyes, And what -- do I attend to a virgin?
Job 31:2 And what `is' the portion of God from above? And the inheritance of the Mighty from the heights?
Job 31:3 Is not calamity to the perverse? And strangeness to workers of iniquity?
Job 31:4 Doth not He see my ways, And all my steps number?
Job 31:5 If I have walked with vanity, And my foot doth hasten to deceit,
Job 31:6 He doth weigh me in righteous balances, And God doth know my integrity.

Job 31:9 If my heart hath been enticed by woman, And by the opening of my neighbour I laid wait,
Job 31:10 Grind to another let my wife, And over her let others bend.
Job 31:11 For it `is' a wicked thing, and a judicial iniquity;
Job 31:12 For a fire it `is', to destruction it consumeth, And among all mine increase doth take root,
Job 31:13 If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my handmaid, In their contending with me,
Job 31:14 Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him?
Job 31:15 Did not He that made me in the womb make him? Yea, prepare us in the womb doth One.
Job 31:16 If I withhold from pleasure the poor, And the eyes of the widow do consume,
Job 31:17 And I do eat my morsel by myself, And the orphan hath not eat of it,
Job 31:18 (But from my youth He grew up with me as `with' a father, And from the belly of my mother I am led.)
Job 31:19 If I see `any' perishing without clothing, And there is no covering to the needy,
Job 31:20 If his loins have not blessed me, And from the fleece of my sheep He doth not warm himself,
Job 31:21 If I have waved at the fatherless my hand, When I see in `him' the gate of my court,
Job 31:22 My shoulder from its blade let fall, And mine arm from the bone be broken.
Job 31:23 For a dread unto me `is' calamity `from' God, And because of His excellency I am not able.
Job 31:24 If I have made gold my confidence, And to the pure gold have said, `My trust,'
Job 31:25 If I rejoice because great `is' my wealth, And because abundance hath my hand found,
Job 31:26 If I see the light when it shineth, And the precious moon walking,
Job 31:27 And my heart is enticed in secret, And my hand doth kiss my mouth,
Job 31:28 It also `is' a judicial iniquity, For I had lied to God above.
Job 31:29 If I rejoice at the ruin of my hater, And stirred up myself when evil found him,
Job 31:30 Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sin, To ask with an oath his life.
Job 31:31 If not -- say ye, O men of my tent, `O that we had of his flesh, we are not satisfied.'
Job 31:32 In the street doth not lodge a stranger, My doors to the traveller I open.
Job 31:33 If I have covered as Adam my transgressions, To hide in my bosom mine iniquity,
Job 31:34 Because I fear a great multitude, And the contempt of families doth affright me, Then I am silent, I go not out of the opening.
Job 31:35 Who giveth to me a hearing? lo, my mark. The Mighty One doth answer me, And a bill hath mine adversary written.
Job 31:36 If not -- on my shoulder I take it up, I bind it a crown on myself.
Job 31:37 The number of my steps I tell Him, As a leader I approach Him.
Job 31:38 If against me my land doth cry out, And together its furrows weep,
Job 31:39 If its strength I consumed without money, And the life of its possessors, I have caused to breathe out,
Job 31:40 Instead of wheat let a thorn go forth, And instead of barley a useless weed! The words of Job are finished.
Job 32:1 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he `is' righteous in his own eyes,
Job 32:2 and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;
Job 32:3 and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
Job 32:4 And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
Job 32:5 And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.
Job 32:6 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: -- Young I `am' in days, and ye `are' age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.
Job 32:7 I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.
Job 32:8 Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.
Job 32:9 The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
Job 32:10 Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion -- even I.
Job 32:11 Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.
Job 32:12 And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, `Or' answerer of his sayings among you.
Job 32:13 Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.
Job 32:14 And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.
Job 32:15 (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.
Job 32:16 And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)
Job 32:17 I answer, even I -- my share, I shew my opinion -- even I.
Job 32:18 For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,
Job 32:19 Lo, my breast `is' as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.
Job 32:20 I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
Job 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,
Job 32:22 For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.
Job 33:1 And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and `to' all my words give ear.
Job 33:2 Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.
Job 33:3 Of the uprightness of my heart `are' my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.
Job 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.
Job 33:5 If thou art able -- answer me, Set in array before me -- station thyself.
Job 33:6 Lo, I `am', according to thy word, for God, From the clay I -- I also, have been formed.
Job 33:7 Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy.
Job 33:8 Surely -- thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:
Job 33:9 `Pure `am' I, without transgression, Innocent `am' I, and I have no iniquity.
Job 33:10 Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him,
Job 33:11 He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.'
Job 33:12 Lo, `in' this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.
Job 33:13 Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When `for' all His matters He answereth not?
Job 33:14 For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.)
Job 33:15 In a dream -- a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.
Job 33:16 Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their instruction sealeth:
Job 33:17 To turn aside man `from' doing, And pride from man He concealeth.
Job 33:18 He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart.
Job 33:19 And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones `is' enduring.
Job 33:20 And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.
Job 33:21 His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen!
Job 33:22 And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death.
Job 33:23 If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter -- one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness:
Job 33:24 Then He doth favour him and saith, `Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.'
Job 33:25 Fresher `is' his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth.
Job 33:26 He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness.
Job 33:27 He looketh on men, and saith, `I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me.
Job 33:28 He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.'
Job 33:29 Lo, all these doth God work, Twice -- thrice with man,
Job 33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living.
Job 33:31 Attend, O Job, hearken to me, Keep silent, and I -- I do speak.
Job 33:32 If there are words -- answer me, Speak, for I have a desire to justify thee.
Job 33:33 If there are not -- hearken thou to me, Keep silent, and I teach thee wisdom.
Job 34:1 And Elihu answereth and saith:
Job 34:2 Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.
Job 34:3 For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat.
Job 34:4 Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what `is' good.
Job 34:5 For Job hath said, `I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,
Job 34:6 Against my right do I lie? Mortal `is' mine arrow -- without transgression.'
Job 34:7 Who `is' a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,
Job 34:8 And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.
Job 34:9 For he hath said, `It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'
Job 34:10 Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And `from' the Mighty to do perverseness:
Job 34:11 For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.
Job 34:12 Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.
Job 34:13 Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world?
Job 34:14 If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.
Job 34:15 Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.
Job 34:16 And if `there is' understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words.
Job 34:17 Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn?
Job 34:18 Who hath said to a king -- `Worthless,' Unto princes -- `Wicked?'
Job 34:19 That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands `are' all of them.
Job 34:20 `In' a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand.
Job 34:21 For His eyes `are' on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see.
Job 34:22 There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;
Job 34:23 For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,
Job 34:24 He breaketh the mighty -- no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead.
Job 34:25 Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.
Job 34:26 As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders.
Job 34:27 Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely,
Job 34:28 To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth.
Job 34:29 And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, `It is' the same.
Job 34:30 From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people;
Job 34:31 For unto God hath any said: `I have taken away, I do not corruptly,
Job 34:32 Besides `that which' I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done -- I do not add?'
Job 34:33 By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused -- That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak.
Job 34:34 Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me.
Job 34:35 Job -- not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words `are' not with wisdom.
Job 34:36 My Father! let Job be tried -- unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity,
Job 34:37 For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God.
Job 35:1 And Elihu answereth and saith: --
Job 35:2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- `My righteousness `is' more than God's?'
Job 35:3 For thou sayest, `What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'
Job 35:4 I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
Job 35:5 Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.
Job 35:6 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
Job 35:7 If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
Job 35:8 For a man like thyself `is' thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
Job 35:9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
Job 35:10 And none said, `Where `is' God my maker? Giving songs in the night,
Job 35:11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
Job 35:12 There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
Job 35:13 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
Job 35:14 Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment `is' before Him, and stay for Him.
Job 35:15 And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
Job 35:16 And Job `with' vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
Job 36:1 And Elihu addeth and saith: --
Job 36:2 Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God `are' words.
Job 36:3 I lift up my knowledge from afar, And to my Maker I ascribe righteousness.
Job 36:4 For, truly, my words `are' not false, The perfect in knowledge `is' with thee.
Job 36:5 Lo, God `is' mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty `in' power `and' heart.
Job 36:6 He reviveth not the wicked, And the judgment of the poor appointeth;
Job 36:7 He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And `from' kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,
Job 36:8 And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,
Job 36:9 Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,
Job 36:10 And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity.
Job 36:11 If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness.
Job 36:12 And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge.
Job 36:13 And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound them.
Job 36:14 Their soul dieth in youth, And their life among the defiled.
Job 36:15 He draweth out the afflicted in his affliction, And uncovereth in oppression their ear.
Job 36:16 And also He moved thee from a strait place, `To' a broad place -- no straitness under it, And the sitting beyond of thy table Hath been full of fatness.
Job 36:17 And the judgment of the wicked thou hast fulfilled, Judgment and justice are upheld -- because of fury,
Job 36:18 Lest He move thee with a stroke, And the abundance of an atonement turn thee not aside.
Job 36:19 Doth He value thy riches? He hath gold, and all the forces of power.
Job 36:20 Desire not the night, For the going up of peoples in their stead.
Job 36:21 Take heed -- do not turn unto iniquity, For on this thou hast fixed Rather than `on' affliction.
Job 36:22 Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who `is' like Him -- a teacher?
Job 36:23 Who hath appointed unto Him his way? And who said, `Thou hast done iniquity?'
Job 36:24 Remember that thou magnify His work That men have beheld.
Job 36:25 All men have looked on it, Man looketh attentively from afar.
Job 36:26 Lo, God `is' high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there `is' no searching.
Job 36:27 When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour,
Job 36:28 Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly.
Job 36:29 Yea, doth `any' understand The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His tabernacle?
Job 36:30 Lo, He hath spread over it His light, And the roots of the sea He hath covered,
Job 36:31 For by them He doth judge peoples, He giveth food in abundance.
Job 36:32 By two palms He hath covered the light, And layeth a charge over it in meeting,
Job 36:33 He sheweth by it `to' his friend substance, Anger against perversity.
Job 37:1 Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
Job 37:2 Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
Job 37:3 Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light `is' over the skirts of the earth.
Job 37:4 After it roar doth a voice -- He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard.
Job 37:5 God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
Job 37:6 For to snow He saith, `Be `on' the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
Job 37:7 Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
Job 37:8 And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
Job 37:9 From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds -- cold,
Job 37:10 From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
Job 37:11 Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
Job 37:12 And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
Job 37:13 Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness -- He doth cause it to come.
Job 37:14 Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
Job 37:15 Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
Job 37:16 Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
Job 37:17 How thy garments `are' warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
Job 37:18 Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds -- strong as a hard mirror!
Job 37:19 Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
Job 37:20 Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
Job 37:21 And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it `is' in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
Job 37:22 From the golden north it cometh, Beside God `is' fearful honour.
Job 37:23 The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
Job 37:24 Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.
Job 38:1 And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: --

Job 38:8 And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth, from the womb it goeth out.
Job 38:9 In My making a cloud its clothing, And thick darkness its swaddling band,

Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded morning since thy days? Causest thou the dawn to know its place?
Job 38:13 To take hold on the skirts of the earth, And the wicked are shaken out of it,

Job 39:2 Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast known the time of their bringing forth!
