: Job 1



: 1 . There was a man <0376 >iysh > in the land < 0776 >erets >
of Uz <5780 <Uwts > , whose name <8034 shem > [ was ] Job
<0347 >Iyowb > ; and that man <0376 >iysh > was perfect <8535
tam > and upright <3477 yashar > , and one that feared <3373
yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > , and eschewed < 5493 cuwr > evil
<7451 ra< > .

: 2 And there were born <3205 yalad > unto him seven < 7651
sheba< > sons <1121 ben > and three <7969 shalowsh > daughters
<1121 ben > .

: 3 His substance <4735 miqneh > also was seven <7651 sheba< >
thousand <0505 >eleph > sheep <6629 tso>n > , and three <7969
shalowsh > thousand <0505 >eleph > camels <1581 gamal > , and
five <2568 chamesh > hundred <3967 me>ah > yoke <6776 tsemed >
of oxen <1241 baqar > , and five <2568 chamesh > hundred <3967
me>ah > she asses <0860 >athown > , and a very <3966 m@<od >
great <7227 rab > household <5657 <abuddah > ; so that this
<1931 huw> > man <0376 >iysh > was the greatest <1419 gadowl >
of all <3605 kol > the men <1121 ben > of the east <6924 qedem >
.

: 4 . And his sons <1121 ben > went <1980 halak > and feasted
<4960 mishteh > [ in their ] houses <1004 bayith > , every
<0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his day < 3117 yowm > ; and sent
<7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > for their three <7969
shalowsh > sisters <0269 >achowth > to eat <0398 >akal > and to
drink <8354 shathah > with them .

: 5 And it was so , when <3588 kiy > the days <3117 yowm > of
[ their ] feasting <4960 mishteh > were gone <5362 naqaph >
about <5362 naqaph > , that Job <0347 >Iyowb > sent <7971
shalach > and sanctified <6942 qadash > them , and rose <7925
shakam > up early <7925 shakam > in the morning <1242 boqer > ,
and offered <5927 <alah > burnt <5930 <olah > offerings [
according ] to the number <4557 micpar > of them all < 3605 kol
> : for Job <0347 >Iyowb > said <0559 >amar > , It may <0194
>uwlay > be that my sons <1121 ben > have sinned < 2398 chata> > ,
and cursed <1288 barak > God <0430 >elohiym > in their hearts
<3824 lebab > . Thus <3602 kakah > did <6213 < asah > Job <0347
>Iyowb > continually .

: 6 . Now there was a day <3117 yowm > when the sons < 1121 ben
> of God <0430>elohiym > came <0935 bow> > to present <3320
yatsab > themselves before <5921 <al > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah > ,
and Satan <7854 satan > came <0935 bow> > also <1571 gam >
among <8432 tavek > them .

: 7 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan
<7854 satan > , Whence <0370 >aiyn > comest < 0935 bow> > thou ?
Then Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , From going < 7751 shuwt >
to and fro <7751 shuwt > in the earth <0776 >erets > , and from
walking <1980 halak > up and down in it .

: 8 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan
<7854 satan > , Hast thou considered my servant <5650 <ebed >
Job <0347 >Iyowb > , that [ there is ] none <0369 >ayin >
like <3644 k@mow > him in the earth <0776 >erets > , a perfect
<8535 tam > and an upright <3477 yashar > man < 0376 >iysh > ,
one that feareth <3373 yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > , and
escheweth <5493 cuwr > evil <7451 ra< > ?

: 9 Then Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , Doth Job <0347
>Iyowb > fear <3372 yare> > God <0430 > elohiym > for nought
<2600 chinnam > ?

: 10 Hast not thou made an hedge <7753 suwk > about < 1157 b@<ad
> him , and about <1157 b@<ad > his house <1004 bayith > , and
about <1157 b@<ad > all <3605 kol > that he hath on every <5437
cabab > side <5439 cabiyb > ? thou hast blessed < 1288 barak >
the work <4639 ma<aseh > of his hands <3027 yad > , and his
substance <4735 miqneh > is increased <6555 parats > in the land
<0776 >erets > .

: 11 But put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > thine hand
<3027 yad > now <4994 na> > , and touch <5060 naga< > all <3605
kol > that he hath , and he will curse <1288 barak > thee to
thy face <6440 paniym > .

: 12 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan
<7854 satan > , Behold <2009 hinneh > , all < 3605 kol > that
he hath [ is ] in thy power <3027 yad > ; only <3535 kibsah >
upon himself put <7971 shalach > not forth <7971 shalach > thine
hand <3027 yad > . So Satan <7854 satan > went < 3318 yatsa> >
forth <3318 yatsa> > from the presence <6440 paniym > of the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 13 . And there was a day <3117 yowm > when his sons < 1121
ben > and his daughters <1121 ben > [ were ] eating <0398
>akal > and drinking <8354 shathah > wine <3196 yayin > in their
eldest <1060 b@kowr > brother s <0251 >ach > house <1004 bayith
> :

: 14 And there came <0935 bow> > a messenger <4397 mal>ak >
unto Job <0347 >Iyowb > , and said <0559 >amar > , The oxen
<1241 baqar > were plowing <2790 charash > , and the asses
<0860 >athown > feeding <7462 ra<ah > beside them :

: 15 And the Sabeans <7614 Sh@ba> > fell <5307 naphal > [ upon
them ] , and took <3947 laqach > them away ; yea , they have
slain <5221 nakah > the servants <5288 na<ar > with the edge
<6310 peh > of the sword <2719 chereb > ; and I only <7535 raq
> am escaped <4422 malat > alone <0905 bad > to tell <5046 nagad
> thee .

: 16 While he [ was ] yet speaking <1696 dabar > , there
came <0935 bow> > also another <2088 zeh > , and said <0559
>amar > , The fire <0784 >esh > of God <0430 >elohiym > is
fallen <5307 naphal > from heaven <8064 shamayim > , and hath
burned <1197 ba<ar > up the sheep <6629 tso>n > , and the
servants <5288 na<ar > , and consumed <0398 >akal > them ; and
I only <7535 raq > am escaped <4422 malat > alone < 0905 bad > to
tell <5046 nagad > thee .

: 17 While he [ was ] yet speaking <1696 dabar > , there
came <0935 bow> > also another <2088 zeh > , and said <0559
>amar > , The Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > made <7760 suwm > out
three <7969 shalowsh > bands <7218 ro>sh > , and fell <6584
pashat > upon the camels <1581 gamal > , and have carried <3947
laqach > them away , yea , and slain <5221 nakah > the
servants <5288 na<ar > with the edge <6310 peh > of the sword
<2719 chereb > ; and I only <7535 raq > am escaped <4422 malat
> alone <0905 bad > to tell <5046 nagad > thee .

: 18 While he [ was ] yet speaking <1696 dabar > , there
came <0935 bow> > also another <2088 zeh > , and said <0559
>amar > , Thy sons <1121 ben > and thy daughters < 1121 ben > [
were ] eating <0398 >akal > and drinking <8354 shathah > wine
<3196 yayin > in their eldest <1060 b@kowr > brother s <0251
>ach > house <1004 bayith > :

: 19 And , behold <2009 hinneh > , there came <0935 bow> > a
great <1419 gadowl > wind <7307 ruwach > from the wilderness
<4057 midbar > , and smote <5060 naga< > the four <0702 >arba<
> corners <6438 pinnah > of the house <1004 bayith > , and it
fell <5307 naphal > upon the young <5288 na<ar > men , and they
are dead <4191 muwth > ; and I only <7535 raq > am escaped
<4422 malat > alone <0905 bad > to tell <5046 nagad > thee .

: 20 . Then Job <0347 >Iyowb > arose <6965 quwm > , and rent
<7167 qara< > his mantle <4598 m@<iyl > , and shaved <1494
gazaz > his head <7218 ro>sh > , and fell <5307 naphal > down
upon the ground <0776 >erets > , and worshipped < 7812 shachah >
,

: 21 And said <0559 >amar > , Naked <6174 <arowm > came <3318
yatsa> > I out of my mother s <0517 >em > womb < 0990 beten > ,
and naked <6174 <arowm > shall I return <7725 shuwb > thither
<8033 sham > : the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <5414 nathan > ,
and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath taken <3947 laqach > away ;
blessed <1288 barak > be the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > .

: 22 In all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > Job <0347 >Iyowb >
sinned <2398 chata> > not , nor <3808 lo> > charged <5414
nathan > God <0430 >elohiym > foolishly <8604 tiphlah > .

: Job 2

: 1 . Again there was a day <3117 yowm > when the sons <1121
ben > of God <0430 >elohiym > came <0935 bow> > to present <3320
yatsab > themselves before <5921 <al > the LORD < 3068 Y@hovah > ,
and Satan <7854 satan > came <0935 bow> > also <1571 gam >
among <8432 tavek > them to present <3320 yatsab > himself
before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .

: 2 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan
<7854 satan > , From whence comest <0935 bow> > thou ? And
Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , From going < 7751 shuwt >
to and fro <7751 shuwt > in the earth <0776 >erets > , and from
walking <1980 halak > up and down in it .

: 3 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan
<7854 satan > , Hast thou considered my servant <5650 <ebed >
Job <0347 >Iyowb > , that [ there is ] none <0369 >ayin >
like <3644 k@mow > him in the earth <0776 >erets > , a perfect
<8535 tam > and an upright <3477 yashar > man < 0376 >iysh > ,
one that feareth <3373 yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > , and
escheweth <5493 cuwr > evil <7451 ra< > ? and still <5750 <owd
> he holdeth <2388 chazaq > fast his integrity <8538 tummah > ,
although thou movedst <5496 cuwth > me against him , to destroy
<1104 bala< > him without <2600 chinnam > cause <2600 chinnam > .


: 4 And Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , Skin <5785 <owr >
for skin <5785 <owr > , yea , all <3605 kol > that a man <0376
>iysh > hath will he give <5414 nathan > for his life <5315
nephesh > .

: 5 But put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > thine hand
<3027 yad > now <4994 na> > , and touch <5060 naga< > his bone
<6106 <etsem > and his flesh <1320 basar > , and he will curse
<1288 barak > thee to thy face <6440 paniym > .

: 6 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan
<7854 satan > , Behold <2009 hinneh > , he [ is ] in thine
hand <3027 yad > ; but save <8104 shamar > his life <5315
nephesh > .

: 7 . So went <3318 yatsa> > Satan <7854 satan > forth <3318
yatsa> > from the presence <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > , and smote <5221 nakah > Job <0347 > Iyowb > with
sore <7451 ra< > boils <7822 sh@chiyn > from the sole <3709 kaph
> of his foot <7272 regel > unto his crown <6936 qodqod > .

: 8 And he took <3947 laqach > him a potsherd <2789 cheres > to
scrape <1623 garad > himself withal ; and he sat <3427 yashab >
down among <8432 tavek > the ashes <0665 >epher > .

: 9 Then said <0559 >amar > his wife <0802 > ishshah > unto him ,
Dost thou still <5750 <owd > retain <2388 chazaq > thine
integrity <8538 tummah > ? curse <1288 barak > God <0430
>elohiym > , and die <4191 muwth > .

: 10 But he said <0559 >amar > unto her , Thou speakest <1696
dabar > as one <0259 >echad > of the foolish <5039 n@balah >
women speaketh <1696 dabar > . What <1571 gam > ? shall we
receive <6901 qabal > good <2896 towb > at the hand <0854 >eth >
of God <0430 >elohiym > , and shall we not receive < 6901 qabal
> evil <7451 ra< > ? In all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > did
not Job <0347 >Iyowb > sin <2398 chata> > with his lips <8193
saphah > .

: 11 . Now when Job s <0347 >Iyowb > three <7969 shalowsh >
friends <7453 rea< > heard <8085 shama< > of all <3605 kol >
this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > that was come <0935 bow> >
upon him , they came <0935 bow> > every <0376 > iysh > one <0376
>iysh > from his own place <4725 maqowm > ; Eliphaz <0464
>Eliyphaz > the Temanite <8489 Teymaniy > , and Bildad <1085
Bildad > the Shuhite <7747 Shuchiy > , and Zophar < 6691
Tsowphar > the Naamathite <5284 Na<amathiy > : for they had made
an appointment <3259 ya<ad > together <3162 yachad > to come
<0935 bow> > to mourn <5110 nuwd > with him and to comfort <5162
nacham > him .

: 12 And when they lifted <5375 nasa> > up their eyes <5869
<ayin > afar <7350 rachowq > off , and knew <5234 nakar > him
not , they lifted <5375 nasa> > up their voice <6963 qowl > ,
and wept <1058 bakah > ; and they rent <7167 qara< > every
<0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his mantle < 4598 m@<iyl > , and
sprinkled <2236 zaraq > dust <6083 <aphar > upon their heads
<7218 ro>sh > toward heaven <8064 shamayim > .

: 13 So they sat <3427 yashab > down with him upon the ground
<0776 >erets > seven <7651 sheba< > days < 3117 yowm > and seven
<7651 sheba< > nights <3915 layil > , and none <0369 >ayin >
spake <1696 dabar > a word <1697 dabar > unto him : for they saw
<7200 ra>ah > that [ his ] grief <3511 k@>eb > was very <3966
m@<od > great <1431 gadal > .

: Job 3

: 1 . After <0310 >achar > this <3651 ken > opened <6605
pathach > Job <0347 >Iyowb > his mouth <6310 peh > , and cursed
<7043 qalal > his day <3117 yowm > .

: 2 And Job <0347 >Iyowb > spake <6030 <anah > , and said
<0559 >amar > ,

: 3 Let the day <3117 yowm > perish <6> wherein I was born
<3205 yalad > , and the night <3915 layil > [ in which ] it
was said <0559 >amar > , There is a man <1397 geber > child
conceived <2030 hareh > .

: 4 Let that day <3117 yowm > be darkness <2822 choshek > ;
let not God <0433 >elowahh > regard <1875 darash > it from above
<4605 ma<al > , neither <0408 >al > let the light <5105 n@harah
> shine <3313 yapha< > upon it .

: 5 Let darkness <2822 choshek > and the shadow <6757
tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth > stain <1350 ga>al > it ;
let a cloud <6053 <ananah > dwell <7931 shakan > upon it ;
let the blackness <3650 kimriyr > of the day <3117 yowm >
terrify <1204 ba<ath > it .

: 6 As [ for ] that night <3915 layil > , let darkness <0652
>ophel > seize <3947 laqach > upon it ; let it not be joined
<2302 chadah > unto the days <3117 yowm > of the year <8141
shaneh > , let it not come <0935 bow> > into the number <4557
micpar > of the months <3391 yerach > .

: 7 Lo <2009 hinneh > , let that night <3915 layil > be
solitary <1565 galmuwd > , let no <0408 >al > joyful <7445
r@nanah > voice come <0935 bow> > therein .

: 8 Let them curse <5344 naqab > it that curse <0779 >arar >
the day <3117yowm > , who are ready <6264 <athiyd > to raise
<5782 <uwr > up their mourning <3382 Yered > .

: 9 Let the stars <3556 kowkab > of the twilight <5399 nesheph
> thereof be dark <2821 chashak > ; let it look < 6960 qavah >
for light <0216 >owr > , but [ have ] none <0369 >ayin > ;
neither <0408 >al > let it see <7200 ra>ah > the dawning <6079
<aph<aph > of the day <7837 shachar > :

: 10 Because <3588 kiy > it shut <5462 cagar > not up the doors
<1817 deleth > of my [ mother s ] womb <0990 beten > , nor
hid <5641 cathar > sorrow <3999 mabbuwl > from mine eyes <5869
<ayin > .

: 11 . Why <4100 mah > died <4191 muwth > I not from the womb
<7358 rechem > ? [ why ] did I [ not ] give <1478 gava< >
up the ghost <1478 gava< > when I came <3318 yatsa> > out of the
belly <0990 beten > ?

: 12 Why <4069 madduwa< > did the knees <1290 berek > prevent
<6923 qadam > me ? or why <4069 madduwa< > the breasts <7699
shad > that I should suck <3243 yanaq > ?

: 13 For now <6258 <attah > should I have lain <7901 shakab >
still and been quiet <8252 shaqat > , I should have slept <3462
yashen > : then <0227 >az > had I been at rest < 5117 nuwach > ,

: 14 With kings <4428 melek > and counsellors <3289 ya<ats > of
the earth <0776 >erets > , which built <1129 banah > desolate
<2723 chorbah > places <2723 chorbah > for themselves ;

: 15 Or <0176 >ow > with princes <8269 sar > that had gold
<2091 zahab > , who filled <4390 male> > their houses <1004
bayith > with silver <3701 keceph > :

: 16 Or <0176 >ow > as an hidden <2934 taman > untimely <5309
nephel > birth<5309 nephel > I had not been <1961 hayah > ; as
infants <5768 <owlel > [ which ] never <3808 lo> > saw <7200
ra>ah > light <0216 >owr > .

: 17 There <8033 sham > the wicked <7563 rasha< > cease <2308
chadal > [ from ] troubling <7267 rogez > ; and there <8033
sham > the weary <3019 yagiya< > be at rest <5117 nuwach > .

: 18 [ There ] the prisoners <0615 >aciyr > rest < 7599 sha>an
> together <3162 yachad > ; they hear <8085 shama< > not the
voice <6963 qowl > of the oppressor <5065 nagas > .

: 19 The small <6996 qatan > and great <1419 gadowl > are there
<8033 sham > ; and the servant <5650 <ebed > [ is ] free
<2670 chophshiy > from his master <0113 >adown > .

: 20 . Wherefore <4100 mah > is light <0216 >owr > given <5414
nathan > to him that is in misery <6001 <amel > , and life
<2416 chay > unto the bitter <4751 mar > [ in ] soul <5315
nephesh > ;

: 21 Which long <2442 chakah > for death <4194 maveth > , but
it [ cometh ] not ; and dig <2658 chaphar > for it more than
for hid <4301 matmown > treasures <4301 matmown > ;

: 22 Which rejoice <8055 samach > exceedingly , [ and ] are
glad <7797 suws > , when <3588 kiy > they can find <4672 matsa>
> the grave <6913 qeber > ?

: 23 [ Why is light given ] to a man <1397 geber > whose
<0834 >aher > way <1870 derek > is hid <5641 cathar > , and
whom God <0433 >elowahh > hath hedged <5526 cakak > in ?

: 24 For my sighing <0585 >anachah > cometh <0935 bow> > before
<6440 paniym > I eat <3899 lechem > , and my roarings <7581
sh@agah > are poured <5413 nathak > out like the waters <4325
mayim > .

: 25 For the thing which I greatly feared <6342 pachad > is
come <0857 >athah > upon me , and that which <0834 >aher > I
was afraid <3025 yagor > of is come <0935 bow> > unto me .

: 26 I was not in safety <7951 shalah > , neither < 3808 lo> >
had I rest <8252 shaqat > , neither <3808 lo> > was I quiet
<5117 nuwach > ; yet trouble <7267 rogez > came < 0935 bow> > .

: Job 4

: 1 . Then Eliphaz <0464 >Eliyphaz > the Temanite < 8489
Teymaniy > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 [ If ] we assay <5254 nacah > to commune <1697 dabar >
with thee , wilt thou be grieved <3811 la>ah > ? but who <4310
miy > can <3201 yakol > withhold <6113 <atsar > himself from
speaking <4405 millah > ?

: 3 Behold <2009 hinneh > , thou hast instructed <3256 yacar >
many <7227 rab > , and thou hast strengthened <2388 chazaq >
the weak <7504 rapheh > hands <3027 yad > .

: 4 Thy words <4405 millah > have upholden <6965 quwm > him
that was falling <3782 kashal > , and thou hast strengthened
<0553 >amats > the feeble <3766 kara< > knees <1290 berek > .

: 5 But now <6258 <attah > it is come <0935 bow> > upon thee ,
and thou faintest <3811 la>ah > ; it toucheth <5060 naga< >
thee , and thou art troubled <0926 bahal > .

: 6 [ Is ] not [ this ] thy fear <3374 yir>ah > , thy
confidence <3690 kiclah > , thy hope <8615 tiqvah > , and the
uprightness <8537 tom > of thy ways <1870 derek > ?

: 7 . Remember <2142 zakar > , I pray <4994 na> > thee , who
<4310 miy > [ ever ] perished <6> , being innocent <5355
naqiy > ? or where <0375 >eyphoh > were the righteous <6662
tsaddiyq > cut <3582 kachad > off ?

: 8 Even as I have seen <7200 ra>ah > , they that plow <2790
charash > iniquity <0205 >aven > , and sow <2232 zara< >
wickedness <5999 <amal > , reap <7114 qatsar > the same .

: 9 By the blast <5397 n@shamah > of God <0433 > elowahh > they
perish <6> , and by the breath <7307 ruwach > of his nostrils
<0639 >aph > are they consumed <3615 kalah > .

: 10 The roaring <7581 sh@agah > of the lion <0738 > ariy > ,
and the voice <6963 qowl > of the fierce <7826 shachal > lion
<7826 shachal > , and the teeth <8127 shen > of the young <3715
k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr > , are broken <5421 natha< > .

: 11 The old lion <3918 layish > perisheth <6> for lack <1097
b@liy > of prey <2964 tereph > , and the stout lion s <3833
labiy> > whelps <1121 ben > are scattered <6504 parad > abroad
<6504 parad > .

: 12 . Now a thing <1697 dabar > was secretly <1589 ganab >
brought <1589 ganab > to me , and mine ear <0241 > ozen >
received <3947 laqach > a little <8102 shemets > thereof .

: 13 In thoughts <5587 ca<iph > from the visions < 2384
chizzayown > of the night <3915 layil > , when deep < 8639
tardemah > sleep <8639 tardemah > falleth <5307 naphal > on
<5921 <al > men <0582 >enowsh > ,

: 14 Fear <6343 pachad > came <7122 qara> > upon me , and
trembling <7460> , which made all <7230 rob > my bones <6106
<etsem > to shake <6342 pachad > .

: 15 Then a spirit <7307 ruwach > passed <2498 chalaph > before
<5921 <al > my face <6440 paniym > ; the hair < 8185 sa<arah >
of my flesh <1320 basar > stood <5568 camar > up :

: 16 It stood <5975 <amad > still , but I could not discern
<5234 nakar > the form <4758 mar>eh > thereof : an image <8544
t@muwnah > [ was ] before <5048 neged > mine eyes < 5869 <ayin
> , [ there was ] silence <1827 d@mamah > , and I heard
<8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > , [ saying ] ,

: 17 Shall mortal <0582 >enowsh > man <0582 > enowsh > be more
just <6663 tsadaq > than God <0433 >elowahh > ? shall a man
<1396 gabar > be more pure <2891 taher > than his maker <6213
<asah > ?

: 18 Behold <2005 hen > , he put no <3808 lo> > trust <0539
>aman > in his servants <5650 <ebed > ; and his angels <4397
mal>ak > he charged <7760 suwm > with folly <8417 toholah > :

: 19 How <0637 >aph > much <0637 >aph > less [ in ] them that
dwell <7931 shakan > in houses <1004 bayith > of clay <2563
chomer > , whose <0834 >aher > foundation <3247 y@cowd > [ is
] in the dust <6083 <aphar > , [ which ] are crushed <1792
daka> > before <6440 paniym > the moth <6211 < ash > ?

: 20 They are destroyed <3807 kathath > from morning < 1242
boqer > to evening <6153 <ereb > : they perish < 6> for ever
<5331 netsach > without any regarding <7760 suwm > [ it ] .

: 21 Doth not their excellency <3499 yether > [ which is ] in
them go <5265 naca< > away <5265 naca< > ? they die <4191 muwth
> , even without <3808 lo> > wisdom <2451 chokmah > .

: Job 5

: 1 . Call <7121 qara> > now <4994 na> > , if there be any
that will answer <6030 <anah > thee ; and to which < 4310 miy >
of the saints <6918 qadowsh > wilt thou turn <6437 panah > ?

: 2 For wrath <3708 ka<ac > killeth <2026 harag > the foolish
<0191 >eviyl > man , and envy <7068 qin>ah > slayeth <4191
muwth > the silly <6601 pathah > one .

: 3 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > the foolish <0191 > eviyl > taking
root <8327 sharash > : but suddenly <6597 pith>owm > I cursed
<5344 naqab > his habitation <5116 naveh > .

: 4 His children <1121 ben > are far <7350 rachowq > from
safety <3468 yesha< > , and they are crushed <1792 daka> > in
the gate <8179 sha<ar > , neither <0369 >ayin > [ is there ]
any to deliver <5337 natsal > [ them ] .

: 5 Whose <0834 >aher > harvest <7105 qatsiyr > the hungry
<7456 ra<eb > eateth <0398 >akal > up , and taketh <3947 laqach
> it even out of the thorns <6791 tsen > , and the robber <6782
tsammiym > swalloweth <7602 sha>aph > up their substance <2428
chayil > .

: 6 . Although <3588 kiy > affliction <0205 >aven > cometh
<3318 yatsa> > not forth <3318 yatsa> > of the dust <6083 <aphar
> , neither <3808 lo> > doth trouble <5999 < amal > spring <6779
tsamach > out of the ground <0127 >adamah > ;

: 7 Yet <3588 kiy > man <0120 >adam > is born < 3205 yalad >
unto trouble <5999 <amal > , as the sparks <7565 resheph > fly
<5774 <uwph > upward <1361 gabahh > .

: 8 I would seek <1875 darash > unto God <0410 >el > , and
unto God <0430 >elohiym > would I commit <7760 suwm > my cause
<1700 dibrah > :

: 9 Which doeth <6213 <asah > great <1419 gadowl > things and
unsearchable ; marvellous <6381 pala> > things without number
<4557 micpar > :

: 10 Who giveth <5414 nathan > rain <4306 matar > upon the
earth <0776 >erets > , and sendeth <7971 shalach > waters <4325
mayim > upon the fields <2351 chuwts > :

: 11 To set <7760 suwm > up on high <4791 marowm > those that
be low <8217 shaphal > ; that those which mourn <6937 qadar >
may be exalted <7682 sagab > to safety <3468 yesha< > .

: 12 He disappointeth <6565 parar > the devices <4284
machashabah > of the crafty <6175 <aruwm > , so that their
hands <3027 yad > cannot perform [ their ] enterprise < 8454
tuwshiyah > .

: 13 He taketh <3920 lakad > the wise <2450 chakam > in their
own craftiness <6193 <orem > : and the counsel <6098 <etsah > of
the froward <6617 pathal > is carried <4116 mahar > headlong .

: 14 They meet <6298 pagash > with darkness <2822 choshek > in
the daytime <3119 yowmam > , and grope <4959 mashash > in the
noonday <6672 tsohar > as in the night <3915 layil > .

: 15 But he saveth <3467 yasha< > the poor <34> from the sword
<2719 chereb > , from their mouth <6310 peh > , and from the
hand <3027 yad > of the mighty <2389 chazaq > .

: 16 So the poor <1800 dal > hath <1961 hayah > hope <8615
tiqvah > , and iniquity <5766 <evel > stoppeth < 7092 qaphats >
her mouth <6310 peh > .

: 17 . Behold <2009 hinneh > , happy <0835 >esher > [ is ]
the man <0582 >enowsh > whom God <0433 >elowahh > correcteth
<3198 yakach > : therefore despise <3988 ma>ac > not thou the
chastening <4148 muwcar > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday > :

: 18 For he maketh sore <3510 ka>ab > , and bindeth <2280
chabash > up : he woundeth <4272 machats > , and his hands
<3027 yad > make whole <7495 rapha> > .

: 19 He shall deliver <5337 natsal > thee in six <8337 shesh >
troubles <6869 tsarah > : yea , in seven <7651 sheba< > there
shall no <3808 lo> > evil <7451 ra< > touch < 5060 naga< > thee .

: 20 In famine <7458 ra<ab > he shall redeem <6299 padah > thee
from death <4194 maveth > : and in war <4421 milchamah > from
the power <3027 yad > of the sword <2719 chereb > .

: 21 Thou shalt be hid <2244> from the scourge <7752 showt > of
the tongue <3956 lashown > : neither <3808 lo> > shalt thou be
afraid <3372 yare> > of destruction <7701 shod > when <3588 kiy

: 22 At destruction <7701 shod > and famine <3720 kaphan > thou
shalt laugh <7832 sachaq > : neither <0408 >al > shalt thou be
afraid <3372 yare> > of the beasts <2416 chay > of the earth
<0776 >erets > .

: 23 For thou shalt be in league <1285 b@riyth > with the
stones <68> of the field <7704 sadeh > : and the beasts <2416
chay > of the field <7704 sadeh > shall be at peace < 7999 shalam
> with thee .

: 24 And thou shalt know <3045 yada< > that thy tabernacle
<0168 >ohel > [ shall be ] in peace <7965 shalowm > ; and
thou shalt visit <6485 paqad > thy habitation <5116 naveh > ,
and shalt not sin <2398 chata> > .

: 25 Thou shalt know <3045 yada< > also that thy seed <2233
zera< > [ shall be ] great <7227 rab > , and thine offspring
<6631 tse>etsa> > as the grass <6212 <eseb > of the earth <0776

: 26 Thou shalt come <0935 bow> > to [ thy ] grave <6913
qeber > in a full <3624 kelach > age <3624 kelach > , like as a
shock <1430 gadiysh > of corn cometh <5927 <alah > in in his
season <6256 <eth > .

: 27 Lo <2009 hinneh > this <2063 zo>th > , we have searched
<2713 chaqar > it , so <3651 ken > it [ is ] ; hear <8085
shama< > it , and know <3045 yada< > thou [ it ] for thy good
.

: Job 6

: 1 . But Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 < anah > and said
<0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Oh that my grief <3708 ka<ac > were throughly weighed <8254
shaqal > , and my calamity <1942 havvah > laid <5375 nasa> > in
the balances <3976 mo>zen > together <3162 yachad > !

: 3 For now <6258 <attah > it would be heavier <3513 kabad >
than the sand <2344 chowl > of the sea <3220 yam > : therefore
my words <1697 dabar > are swallowed <3886 luwa< > up .

: 4 For the arrows <2671 chets > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday
> [ are ] within <5978 <immad > me , the poison <2534 chemah

<7307 ruwach > : the terrors <1161 bi<uwthiym > of God <0433

: 5 Doth the wild <6501 pere> > ass <6501 pere> > bray <5101
nahaq > when hehath grass <1877 deshe> > ? or loweth <1600
ga<ah > the ox <7794 showr > over <5921 <al > his fodder <1098
b@liyl > ?

: 6 Can that which is unsavoury <8602 taphel > be eaten <0398
>akal > without <1097 b@liy > salt <4417 melach > ? or is there
<8033 sham > [ any ] taste <2940 ta<am > in the white <7388
riyr > of an egg <2495 challamuwth > ?

: 7 The things [ that ] my soul <5315 nephesh > refused <3985
ma>en > to touch <5060 naga< > [ are ] as my sorrowful <1741
d@vay > meat <3899 lechem > .

: 8 . Oh that I might have <0935 bow> > my request < 7596
sh@>elah > ; and that God <0433 >elowahh > would grant <5414
nathan > [ me ] the thing that I long <8615 tiqvah > for !

: 9 Even that it would please <2894 tuw> > God <0433 >elowahh >
to destroy <1792 daka> > me ; that he would let loose <5425
nathar > his hand <3027 yad > , and cut <1214 batsa< > me off !

: 10 Then should I yet <5750 <owd > have <1961 hayah > comfort
<5165 nechamah > ; yea , I would harden <5539 calad > myself
in sorrow <2427 chiyl > : let him not spare <2550 chamal > ;
for I have not concealed <3582 kachad > the words <0561 >emer >
of the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One .

: 11 What <4100 mah > [ is ] my strength <3581 koach > ,
that I should hope <3176 yachal > ? and what <4100 mah > [ is
] mine end <7093 qets > , that I should prolong <0748 >arak >
my life <5315 nephesh > ?

: 12 [ Is ] my strength <3581 koach > the strength < 3581
koach > of stones <68> ? or [ is ] my flesh <1320 basar > of
brass <5153 Qiryath <Arba< nachuwsh > ?

: 13 [ Is ] not my help <5833 <ezrah > in me ? and is wisdom
<8454 tuwshiyah > driven <5080 nadach > quite < 5080 nadach >
from me ?

: 14 . To him that is afflicted <4523 mac > pity <2617 checed

forsaketh <5800 <azab > the fear <3374 yir>ah > of the Almighty
<7706 Shadday > .

: 15 My brethren <0251 >ach > have dealt deceitfully <0898
bagad > as a brook <5158 nachal > , [ and ] as the stream
<0650 >aphiyq > of brooks <5158 nachal > they pass <5674 <abar >
away ;

: 16 Which are blackish <6937 qadar > by reason <4480 min > of
the ice <7140 qerach > , [ and ] wherein the snow < 7950
sheleg > is hid <5956 <alam > :

: 17 What time <6256 <eth > they wax warm <2215 zarab > , they
vanish <6789 tsamath > : when it is hot <2527 chom > , they are
consumed <1846 da<ak > out of their place <4725 maqowm > .

: 18 The paths <0734 >orach > of their way <1870 derek > are
turned <3943 laphath > aside <3943 laphath > ; they go <5927
<alah > to nothing <8414 tohuw > , and perish < 6> .

: 19 The troops <0734 >orach > of Tema <8485 Teyma> > looked
<5027 nabat > , the companies <1979 haliykah > of Sheba <7614
Sh@ba> > waited <6960 qavah > for them .

: 20 They were confounded <0954 buwsh > because <3588 kiy >
they had hoped <0982 batach > ; they came <0935 bow> > thither
<5704 <ad > , and were ashamed <2659 chapher > .

: 21 For now <6258 <attah > ye are nothing <3808 lo> > ; ye
see <7200 ra>ah > [ my ] casting <2866 chathath > down , and
are afraid <3372 yare> > .

: 22 . Did I say <0559 >amar > , Bring <6051 < anan > unto me
? or , Give a reward <7809 shachad > for me of your substance
<3581 koach > ?

: 23 Or , Deliver <4422 malat > me from the enemy s < 6862 tsar

hand <3027 yad > of the mighty <6184 <ariyts > ?

: 24 Teach <3384 yarah > me , and I will hold <2790 charash >
my tongue <2790 charash > : and cause me to understand < 0995
biyn > wherein <4100 mah > I have erred <7683 shagag > .

: 25 How <4100 mah > forcible <4834 marats > are right <3476
yosher > words <0561 >emer > ! but what <4100 mah > doth your
arguing <3198 yakach > reprove <3198 yakach > ?

: 26 Do ye imagine <2803 chashab > to reprove <3198 yakach >
words <4405 millah > , and the speeches <0561 >emer > of one
that is desperate <2976 ya>ash > , [ which are ] as wind
<7307 ruwach > ?

: 27 Yea <0637 >aph > , ye overwhelm <5307 naphal > the
fatherless <3490 yathowm > , and ye dig <3738 karah > [ a pit
] for your friend <7451 ra< > .

: 28 Now <6258 <attah > therefore be content <2974 ya>al > ,
look <6437 panah > upon me ; for [ it is ] evident unto you
if <0518 >im > I lie <3576 kazab > .

: 29 Return <7725 shuwb > , I pray <4994 na> > you , let it
not be iniquity <5766 <evel > ; yea , return <7725 shuwb >
again <5750 <owd > , my righteousness <6664 tsedeq > [ is ]
in it .

: 30 Is there iniquity <5766 <evel > in my tongue < 3956 lashown

: Job 7

: 1 . [ Is there ] not an appointed <6635 tsaba> > time
<6635 tsaba> > to man <0582 >enowsh > upon earth <0776 >erets >
? [ are not ] his days <3117 yowm > also like the days <3117

: 2 As a servant <5650 <ebed > earnestly desireth < 7602 sha>aph

looketh <6960 qavah > for [ the reward of ] his work < 6467
po<al > :

: 3 So <3651 ken > am I made to possess <5157 nachal > months
<3391 yerach > of vanity <7723 shav> > , and wearisome <5999
<amal > nights <3915 layil > are appointed <4487 manah > to me .

: 4 When <4970 mathay > I lie <7901 shakab > down <7901 shakab

<6965 quwm > , and the night <6153 <ereb > be gone <4059 middad

and fro unto the dawning <5399 nesheph > of the day < 5399
nesheph > .

: 5 My flesh <1320 basar > is clothed <3847 labash > with worms
<7415 rimmah > and clods <1487 guwsh > of dust < 6083 <aphar > ;
my skin <5785 <owr > is broken <7280 raga< > , and become <3988
ma>ac > loathsome <3988 ma>ac > .

: 6 My days <3117 yowm > are swifter <7043 qalal > than a
weaver s shuttle <0708 >ereg > , and are spent <3615 kalah >
without <0657 >ephec > hope <8615 tiqvah > .

: 7 . O remember <2142 zakar > that my life <2416 chay > [ is
] wind <7307 ruwach > : mine eye <5869 <ayin > shall no <3808
lo> > more <7725 shuwb > see <7200 ra>ah > good <2896 towb > .

: 8 The eye <5869 <ayin > of him that hath seen < 7210 ro>iy >
me shall see <7789 shuwr > me no <3808 lo> > [ more ] : thine
eyes <5869 <ayin > [ are ] upon me , and I [ am ] not .

: 9 [ As ] the cloud <6051 <anan > is consumed < 3615 kalah >
and vanisheth <3212 yalak > away : so <3651 ken > he that goeth
<3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the grave < 7585 sh@>owl >
shall come <5927 <alah > up no <3808 lo> > [ more ] .

: 10 He shall return <7725 shuwb > no <3808 lo> > more <5750
<owd > to his house <1004 bayith > , neither < 3808 lo> > shall
his place <4725 maqowm > know <5234 nakar > him any more <5750
<owd > .

: 11 Therefore <1571 gam > I will not refrain <2820 chasak > my
mouth <6310 peh > ; I will speak <1696 dabar > in the anguish
<6862 tsar > of my spirit <7307 ruwach > ; I will complain
<7878 siyach > in the bitterness <4751 mar > of my soul <5315
nephesh > .

: 12 [ Am ] I a sea <3220 yam > , or a whale <8577 tanniyn >
, that thou settest <7760 suwm > a watch <4929 mishmar > over
<5921 <al > me ?

: 13 When <3588 kiy > I say <0559 >amar > , My bed <6210 <eres
> shall comfort <5162 nacham > me , my couch <4904 mishkab >
shall ease <5375 nasa> > my complaint <7878 siyach > ;

: 14 Then thou scarest <2865 chathath > me with dreams < 2472
chalowm > , and terrifiest <1204 ba<ath > me through visions
<2384 chizzayown > :

: 15 So that my soul <5315 nephesh > chooseth <0977 bachar >
strangling <4267 machanaq > , [ and ] death <4194 maveth >
rather than my life <6106 <etsem > .

: 16 I loathe <3988 ma>ac > [ it ] ; I would not live <2421
chayah > alway <5769 <owlam > : let me alone <2308 chadal > ;
for my days <3117 yowm > [ are ] vanity <1892 hebel > .

: 17 . What <4100 mah > [ is ] man <0582 >enowsh > , that
thou shouldest magnify <1431 gadal > him ? and that thou
shouldest set <7896 shiyth > thine heart <3820 leb > upon him ?

: 18 And [ that ] thou shouldest visit <6485 paqad > him
every morning <1242 boqer > , [ and ] try <0974 bachan > him

: 21 And why <4100 mah > dost thou not pardon <5375 nasa> > my
transgression <6588 pesha< > , and take <5674 < abar > away
<5674 <abar > mine iniquity <5771 <avon > ? for now <6258

: Job 8

: 1 . Then answered <6030 <anah > Bildad <1085 Bildad > the
Shuhite <7747 Shuchiy > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > wilt thou speak <4448
malal > these <0428 >el - leh > [ things ] ? and [ how long
shall ] the words <0561 >emer > of thy mouth <6310 peh > [ be
like ] a strong <3524 kabbiyr > wind <7307 ruwach > ?

: 3 Doth God <0410 >el > pervert <5791 <avath > judgment <4941

<avath > justice <6664 tsedeq > ?

: 4 If <0518 >im > thy children <1121 ben > have sinned <2398

<2603 chanan > to the Almighty <7706 Shadday > ;

: 6 If <0518 >im > thou [ wert ] pure <2134 zak > and upright
<3477 yashar > ; surely <3588 kiy > now <6258 < attah > he would
awake <5782 <uwr > for thee , and make the habitation <5116

of the former <7223 ri>shown > age <1755 dowr > , and prepare
<3559 kuwn > thyself to the search <2714 cheqer > of their

the hypocrite s <2611 chaneph > hope <8615 tiqvah > shall perish

spider s <5908 <akkabiysh > web <1004 bayith > .

: Job 9

: 1 . Then Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 < anah > and said

: 2 I know <3045 yada< > [ it is ] so <3651 ken > of a truth
<0551 >omnam > : but how <4100 mah > should man <0582 >enowsh >
be just <6663 tsadaq > with God <0410 >el > ?

: 3 If <0518 >im > he will contend <7378 riyb > with him , he

: 4 [ He is ] wise <2450 chakam > in heart <3824 lebab > ,

: 5 Which removeth <6275 <athaq > the mountains < 2022 har > ,
and they know <3045 yada< > not : which <0834 > aher >

: 7 Which commandeth <0559 >amar > the sun <2775 cherec > ,
and it riseth <2224 zarach > not ; and sealeth <2856 chatham >
up the stars <3556 kowkab > .

: 8 Which alone <0905 bad > spreadeth <5186 natah > out the
heavens <8064 shamayim > , and treadeth <1869 darak > upon the
waves <1116 bamah > of the sea <3220 yam > .

: 9 Which maketh <6213 <asah > Arcturus <5906 < Ayish > , Orion
<3685 K@ciyl > , and Pleiades <3598 Kiymah > , and the
chambers <2315 cheder > of the south <8486 teyman > .

: 11 Lo <2005 hen > , he goeth <5674 <abar > by me , and I
see <7200 ra>ah > [ him ] not : he passeth <2498 chalaph > on
also , but I perceive <0995 biyn > him not .

: 12 Behold <2005 hen > , he taketh <2862 chathaph > away
<2862 chathaph > , who <4310 miy > can hinder < 7725 shuwb > him
? who <4310 miy > will say <0559 >amar > unto him , What <4100

: 13 [ If ] God <0433 >elowahh > will not withdraw <7725
shuwb > his anger <0639 >aph > , the proud <7293 rahab >
helpers <5826 <azar > do stoop <7817 shachach > under <8478

: 14 . How <0637 >aph > much less shall I answer < 6030 <anah >
him , [ and ] choose <0977 bachar > out my words < 1697 dabar

: 15 Whom <0834 >aher > , though <0518 >im > I were righteous
<6663 tsadaq > , [ yet ] would I not answer <6030 < anah > ,
[ but ] I would make supplication <2603 chanan > to my judge
<8199 shaphat > .

: 16 If <0518 >im > I had called <7121 qara> > , and he had
answered <6030 <anah > me ; [ yet ] would I not believe <0539

: 17 For he breaketh <7779 shuwph > me with a tempest < 8183
s@<arah > , and multiplieth <7235 rabah > my wounds <6482
petsa< > without <2600 chinnam > cause <2600 chinnam > .

: 18 He will not suffer <5414 nathan > me to take my breath
<7307 ruwach > , but filleth <7646 saba< > me with bitterness
<4472 mamror > .

: 19 If <0518 >im > [ I speak ] of strength <3581 koach > ,
lo <2009 hinneh > , [ he is ] strong <0533 > ammiyts > : and
if <0518 >im > of judgment <4941 mishpat > , who <4310 miy >
shall set <3259 ya<ad > me a time [ to plead ] ?

: 20 If <0518 >im > I justify <6663 tsadaq > myself , mine own
mouth <6310 peh > shall condemn <7561 rasha< > me : [ if I say

perverse <6140 <aqash > .

: 21 [ Though ] I [ were ] perfect <8535 tam > , [ yet ]
would I not know <3045 yada< > my soul <5315 nephesh > : I would
despise <3988 ma>ac > my life <2416 chay > .

: 22 . This <1931 huw> > [ is ] one <0259 > echad > [ thing

<3615 kalah > the perfect <8535 tam > and the wicked <7563

: 23 If <0518 >im > the scourge <7752 showt > slay <4191 muwth

the trial <4531 maccah > of the innocent <5355 naqiy > .

: 24 The earth <0776 >erets > is given <5414 nathan > into the
hand <3027 yad > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > : he covereth
<4374 m@kacceh > the faces <6440 paniym > of the judges <8199

[ and ] who <4310 miy > [ is ] he ?

: 25 . Now my days <3117 yowm > are swifter <7043 qalal > than
<4480 min > a post <7323 ruwts > : they flee <1272 barach > away
, they see <7200 ra>ah > no <3808 lo> > good <2896 towb > .

ships <0591 >oniyah > : as the eagle <5404 nesher > [ that ]
hasteth <2907 tuws > to the prey <0400 >okel > .

: 27 If <0518 >im > I say <0559 >amar > , I will forget <7911
shakach > my complaint <7878 siyach > , I will leave <5800
<azab > off my heaviness <6440 paniym > , and comfort <1082
balag > [ myself ] :

: 28 I am afraid <3025 yagor > of all <3605 kol > my sorrows
<6094 <atstsebeth > , I know <3045 yada< > that thou wilt not
hold me innocent <5352 naqah > .

: 29 [ If ] I be wicked <7561 rasha< > , why < 4100 mah >
then labour <3021 yaga< > I in vain <1892 hebel > ?

: 30 If <0518 >im > I wash <7364 rachats > myself with snow
<7950 sheleg > water <1119 b@mow > , and make my hands <3709
kaph > never <1253 bor > so clean <2141 zakak > ;

: 31 Yet <0227 >az > shalt thou plunge <2881 tabal > me in the
ditch <7845 shachath > , and mine own clothes <8008 salmah >
shall abhor <8581 ta<ab > me .

: 32 For [ he is ] not a man <0376 >iysh > , as I [ am ,
that ] I should answer<6030 <anah > him , [ and ] we should
come <0935 bow> > together <3162 yachad > in judgment <4941

: 33 Neither <3808 lo> > is there any daysman <3198 yakach >
betwixt <0996 beyn > us , [ that ] might lay <7896 shiyth >
his hand <3027 yad > upon us both <8147 sh@nayim > .

: 34 Let him take <5493 cuwr > his rod <7626 shebet > away
<5493 cuwr > from me , and let not his fear <0367 > eymah >
terrify <1204 ba<ath > me :

: 35 [ Then ] would I speak <1696 dabar > , and not fear
<3372 yare> > him ; but [ it is ] not so <3651 ken > with me .


: Job 10

: 1 . My soul <5315 nephesh > is weary <5354 naqat > of my
life <2416 chay > ; I will leave <5800 <azab > my complaint
<7878 siyach > upon myself ; I will speak <1696 dabar > in the
bitterness <4751 mar > of my soul <5315 nephesh > .

: 2 I will say <0559 >amar > unto God <0433 > elowahh > , Do
not condemn <7561rasha< > me ; shew <3045 yada< > me wherefore
thou contendest with me .

: 3 [ Is it ] good <2896 towb > unto thee that thou shouldest
oppress <6231 <ashaq > , that thou shouldest despise <3988
ma>ac > the work <3018 y@giya< > of thine hands <3709 kaph > ,
and shine <3313 yapha< > upon the counsel <6098 < etsah > of the

: 4 Hast thou eyes <5869 <ayin > of flesh <1320 basar > ? or
seest <7200 ra>ah > thou as man <0582 >enowsh > seeth <7200

: 5 [ Are ] thy days <3117 yowm > as the days <3117 yowm > of
man <0582 >enowsh > ? [ are ] thy years <8141 shaneh > as man
s <1397 geber > days <3117 yowm > ,

: 6 That thou enquirest <1245 baqash > after <0310 > achar >
mine iniquity <5771 <avon > , and searchest <1875 darash >
after <0310 >achar > my sin <2403 chatta>ah > ?

: 7 Thou knowest <1847 da<ath > that I am not wicked <7561
rasha< > ; and [ there is ] none <0369 >ayin > that can
deliver <5337 natsal > out of thine hand <3027 yad > .

: 8 . Thine hands <3027 yad > have made <6087 < atsab > me and
fashioned <6213 <asah > me together <3162 yachad > round <5439
cabiyb > about ; yet thou dost destroy <1104 bala< > me .

: 9 Remember <2142 zakar > , I beseech <4994 na> > thee ,
that thou hast made <6213 <asah > me as the clay < 2563 chomer > ;
and wilt thou bring <7725 shuwb > me into <0413 >el > dust
<6083 <aphar > again <7725 shuwb > ?

: 10 Hast thou not poured <5413 nathak > me out as milk <2461
chalab > , and curdled <7087 qapha> > me like cheese <1385
g@binah > ?

: 11 Thou hast clothed <3847 labash > me with skin < 5785 <owr >
and flesh <1320 basar > , and hast fenced <7753 suwk > me with
bones <6106 <etsem > and sinews <1517 giyd > .

: 12 Thou hast granted <6213 <asah > me life <2416 chay > and
favour <2617 checed > , and thy visitation <6486 p@quddah >
hath preserved <8104 shamar > my spirit <7307 ruwach > .

: 13 And these <0428 >el - leh > [ things ] hast thou hid
<6845 tsaphan > in thine heart <3824 lebab > : I know <3045

: 14 . If <0518 >im > I sin <2398 chata> > , then thou
markest <8104 shamar > me , and thou wilt not acquit < 5352

: 15 If <0518 >im > I be wicked <7561 rasha< > , woe <0480

<6662 tsaddiyq > , [ yet ] will I not lift <5375 nasa> > up

confusion <7036 qalown > ; therefore see <7200 ra>ah > thou
mine affliction <6040 <oniy > ;

: 16 For it increaseth <1342 ga>ah > . Thou huntest <6679
tsuwd > me as a fierce <7826 shachal > lion <7826 shachal > :
and again <7725 shuwb > thou shewest thyself marvellous < 6381

: 17 Thou renewest <2318 chadash > thy witnesses <5707 <ed >
against <5048 neged > me , and increasest <7235 rabah > thine
indignation <3708 ka<ac > upon me ; changes <2487 chaliyphah >

: 18 Wherefore <4100 mah > then hast thou brought <3318 yatsa>

that I had given <1478 gava< > up the ghost <1478 gava< > , and
no <3808 lo> > eye <5869 <ayin > had seen < 7200 ra>ah > me !

<1961 hayah > ; I should have been carried <2986 yabal > from
the womb <0990 beten > to the grave <6913 qeber > .

cease <2308 chadal > [ then , and ] let me alone < 7896 shiyth

: Job 11

: 1 . Then answered <6030 <anah > Zophar <6691 Tsowphar > the
Naamathite <5284 Na<amathiy > , and said <0559 > amar > ,

: 2 Should not the multitude <7230 rob > of words <1697 dabar >
be answered <6030 <anah > ? and should a man <0376 >iysh > full
of talk <8193 saphah > be justified <6663 tsadaq > ?

: 3 Should thy lies <0907 bad > make men <4962 math > hold
<2790 charash > their peace <2790 charash > ? and when thou
mockest <3932 la<ag > , shall no <0369 >ayin > man make thee
ashamed <3637 kalam > ?

: 4 For thou hast said <0559 >amar > , My doctrine < 3948

in thine eyes <5869 <ayin > .

: 5 But oh that God <0433 >elowahh > would speak < 1696 dabar > ,
and open <6605 pathach > his lips <8193 saphah > against <5973

: 6 And that he would shew <5046 nagad > thee the secrets <8587

double <3718 kephel > to that which is ! Know <3045 yada< >
therefore that God <0433 >elowahh > exacteth <5382 nashah > of

shalt be stedfast <3332 yatsaq > , and shalt not fear < 3372

thy ] misery <5999 <amal > , [ and ] remember < 2142 zakar >
[ it ] as waters <4325 mayim > [ that ] pass <5674 <abar >

<0983 betach > .

and none <0369 >ayin > shall make [ thee ] afraid < 2729 charad

thee .

: 20 But the eyes <5869 <ayin > of the wicked <7563 rasha< >
shall fail <3615 kalah > , and they shall not escape , and
their hope <8615 tiqvah > [ shall be as ] the giving < 4646

yea , who <4310 miy > knoweth <0854 >eth > not such <3644 k@mow

<7832 sachaq > to scorn .

: 5 He that is ready <3559 kuwn > to slip <4571 ma< ad > with [

despised <0937 buwz > in the thought <6248 <ashtuwth > of him

prosper <7951 shalah > , and they that provoke <7264 ragaz >
God <0410 >el > are secure <0987 battuchowth > ; into whose

understanding <8394 tabuwn > .

<1369 g@buwrah > , he hath counsel <6098 <etsah > and
understanding <8394 tabuwn > .

: 14 Behold <2005 hen > , he breaketh <2040 harac > down <2040

again : he shutteth <5462 cagar > up a man <0376 > iysh > , and
there can be no <3808 lo> > opening <6605 pathach > .

: 15 Behold <2005 hen > , he withholdeth <6113 < atsar > the
waters <4325 mayim> , and they dry <3001 yabesh > up : also he
sendeth <7971 shalach > them out , and they overturn < 2015

spoiled <7758 showlal > , and maketh the judges <8199 shaphat >
fools <1984 halal > .

kings <4428 melek > , and girdeth <0631 >acar > their loins
<4975 mothen > with a girdle <0232 >ezowr > .

spoiled <7758 showlal > , and overthroweth <5557 calaph > the
mighty <0386 >eythan > .

: 20 He removeth <5493 cuwr > away the speech <8193 saphah > of
the trusty <0539 >aman > , and taketh <3947 laqach > away the
understanding <2940 ta<am > of the aged <2205 zaqen > .

: 21 He poureth <8210 shaphak > contempt <0937 buwz > upon
princes <5081 nadiyb > , and weakeneth <7503 raphah > the
strength <4206 maziyach > of the mighty <0650 >aphiyq > .

: 22 He discovereth <1540 galah > deep <6013 <amoq > things out
of darkness <2822 choshek > , and bringeth <3318 yatsa> > out
to light <0216 >owr > the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death
<6757 tsalmaveth > .

: 23 He increaseth <7679 saga> > the nations <1471 gowy > ,
and destroyeth <6> them : he enlargeth <7849 shatach > the
nations <1471 gowy > , and straiteneth <5148 nachah > them [

the earth <0776 >erets > , and causeth them to wander <8582

: 25 They grope <4959 mashash > in the dark <2822 choshek >
without <3808 lo> > light <0216 >owr > , and he maketh them to

: Job 13

: 1 . Lo <2005 hen > , mine eye <5869 <ayin > hath seen <7200

hath heard <8085 shama< > and understood <0995 biyn > it .

: 2 What ye know <1847 da<ath > , [ the same ] do I know
<3045 yada< > also <1571 gam > : I [ am ] not inferior <5307

: 3 Surely <0199 >uwlam > I would speak <1696 dabar > to the
Almighty <7706 Shadday > , and I desire <2654 chaphets > to
reason <3198 yakach > with God <0410 >el > .

<2790 charash > ! and it should be your wisdom <2451 chokmah > .


: 6 Hear <8085 shama< > now <4994 na> > my reasoning <8433
towkechah > , and hearken <7181 qashab > to the pleadings <7379
riyb > of my lips <8193 saphah > .

: 7 Will ye speak <1696 dabar > wickedly <5766 <evel > for God
<0410 >el > ? and talk <1696 dabar > deceitfully <7423 r@miyah

: 8 Will ye accept <5375 nasa> > his person <6440 paniym > ?
will ye contend <7378 riyb > for God <0410 >el > ?

: 9 Is it good <2896 towb > that he should search <2713 chaqar

: 10 He will surely reprove <3198 yakach > you , if < 0518 >im

<6440 paniym > .

: 11 Shall not his excellency <7613 s@>eth > make you afraid
<1204 ba<ath > ? and his dread <6343 pachad > fall <5307 naphal

: 12 Your remembrances <2146 zikrown > [ are ] like < 4911

bodies <1472 g@viyah > of clay <2563 chomer > .

: 13 . Hold <2790 charash > your peace <2790 charash > , let
me alone , that I may speak <1696 dabar > , and let come <5674
<abar > on me what <4100 mah > [ will ] .

: 14 Wherefore do I take <5375 nasa> > my flesh < 1320 basar >
in my teeth <8127 shen > , and put <7760 suwm > my life <5315
nephesh > in mine hand <3709 kaph > ?

: 15 Though he slay <6991 qatal > me , yet will I trust <3176

ways <1870 derek > before him .

: 16 He also <1571 gam > [ shall be ] my salvation < 3444
y@shuw<ah > : for an hypocrite <2611 chaneph > shall not come
<0935 bow> > before <6440 paniym > him .

: 17 Hear <8085 shama< > diligently my speech <4405 millah > ,
and my declaration <0262 >achvah > with your ears < 0241 >ozen > .


: 18 Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > , I have <1961

I know <3045 yada< > that I shall be justified <6663 tsadaq > .

hold <2790 charash > my tongue <2790 charash > , I shall give
<1478 gava< > up the ghost <1478 gava< > .

: 20 Only <0389 >ak > do <6213 <asah > not two <8147 sh@nayim >
[ things ] unto me : then <0227 >az > will I not hide <5641
cathar > myself from thee .

: 21 Withdraw <7368 rachaq > thine hand <3709 kaph > far <7350
rachowq > from me : and let not thy dread <0367 >eymah > make me
afraid <1204 ba<ath > .

: 22 Then call <7121 qara> > thou , and I will answer <6030
<anah > : or <0176 >ow > let me speak <1696 dabar > , and
answer <7725 shuwb > thou me .

: 23 . How <4100 mah > many [ are ] mine iniquities < 5771

: 24 Wherefore <4100 mah > hidest <5641 cathar > thou thy face
<6440 paniym > , and holdest <2803 chashab > me for thine enemy
<0341 >oyeb > ?

: 25 Wilt thou break <6206 <arats > a leaf <5929 < aleh > driven
<5086 nadaph > to and fro ? and wilt thou pursue <7291 radaph >
the dry <3002 yabesh > stubble <7179 qash > ?

: 26 For thou writest <3789 kathab > bitter <4846 m@rorah >
things against <5921 <al > me , and makest me to possess <3423
yarash > the iniquities <5771 <avon > of my youth < 5271 na<uwr >

: 27 Thou puttest <7760 suwm > my feet <7272 regel > also in
the stocks <5465 cad > , and lookest <8104 shamar > narrowly
<8104 shamar > unto all <3605 kol > my paths <0734 >orach > ;
thou settest a print <2707 chaqah > upon the heels <8323 sarar >
of my feet <7272 regel > .

: 28 And he , as a rotten <7538 raqab > thing , consumeth
<1086 balah > , as a garment <0899 beged > that is moth <6211

: Job 14

: 1 . Man <0120 >adam > [ that is ] born <3205 yalad > of a

: 2 He cometh <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > like a flower
<6731 tsiyts > , and is cut <5243 namal > down : he fleeth
<1272 barach > also as a shadow <6738 tsel > , and continueth
<5975 <amad > not .

: 3 And dost thou open <6491 paqach > thine eyes <5869 <ayin >
upon such <2088 zeh > an one , and bringest <0935 bow> > me
into judgment <4941 mishpat > with thee ?

: 4 Who <4310 miy > can bring <5414 nathan > a clean <2889

<0259 >echad > .

: 5 Seeing <0518 >im > his days <3117 yowm > [ are ]
determined <2782 charats > , the number <4557 micpar > of his
months <2320 chodesh > [ are ] with thee , thou hast
appointed <6213 <asah > his bounds <2706 choq > that he cannot
<3808 lo> > pass <5674 <abar > ;

: 6 Turn <8159 sha<ah > from him , that he may rest <2308
chadal > , till <5704 <ad > he shall accomplish < 7521 ratsah > ,
as an hireling <7916 sakiyr > , his day <3117 yowm > .

: 7 . For there is hope <8615 tiqvah > of a tree <6086 <ets > ,
if it be cut <3772 karath > down , that it will sprout <2498
chalaph > again <5750 <owd > , and that the tender <3127

: 8 Though <0518 >im > the root <8328 sheresh > thereof wax old
<2204 zaqen > in the earth <0776 >erets > , and the stock <1503

forth <6213 <asah > boughs <7105 qatsiyr > like <3644 k@mow > a

: 10 But man <1397 geber > dieth <4191 muwth > , and wasteth
<2522 chalash > away : yea , man <0120 >adam > giveth <1478
gava< > up the ghost <1478 gava< > , and where <0834 >aher > [

<2717 charab > and drieth <3001 yabesh > up :

heavens <8064 shamayim > [ be ] no <1115 biltiy > more , they
shall not awake <6974 quwts > , nor <3808 lo> > be raised <5782
<uwr > out of their sleep <8142 shehah > .

: 13 O that thou wouldest hide <6845 tsaphan > me in the grave
<7585 sh@>owl > , that thou wouldest keep me secret < 5641
cathar > , until <5704 <ad > thy wrath <0639 > aph > be past
<7725 shuwb > , that thou wouldest appoint <7896 shiyth > me a
set <2706 choq > time , and remember <2142 zakar > me !

: 14 If <0518 >im > a man <1397 geber > die < 4191 muwth > ,
shall he live <2421 chayah > [ again ] ? all <3605 kol > the
days <3117 yowm > of my appointed <6635 tsaba> > time <6635

change <2487 chaliyphah > come <0935 bow> > .

: 15 Thou shalt call <7121 qara> > , and I will answer <6030
<anah > thee : thou wilt have a desire <3700 kacaph > to the
work <4639 ma<aseh > of thine hands <3027 yad > .

: 16 . For now <6258 <attah > thou numberest <5608 caphar > my
steps <6806 tsa<ad > : dost thou not watch <8104 shamar > over
<5921 <al > my sin <2403 chatta>ah > ?

: 17 My transgression <6588 pesha< > [ is ] sealed <2856
chatham > up in a bag <6872 ts@rowr > , and thou sewest <2950

: 18 And surely <0199 >uwlam > the mountain <2022 har > falling
<5307 naphal > cometh <5034 nabel > to nought < 5034 nabel > ,
and the rock <6697 tsuwr > is removed <6275 <athaq > out of his
place <4725 maqowm > .

: 19 The waters <4325 mayim > wear <7833 shachaq > the stones
<68> : thou washest <7857 shataph > away the things which grow
<5599 caphiyach > [ out ] of the dust <6083 <aphar > of the
earth <0776 >erets > ; and thou destroyest <6> the hope <8615

: 20 Thou prevailest <8630 taqaph > for ever <5331 netsach >
against him , and he passeth <1980 halak > : thou changest
<8138 shanah > his countenance <6440 paniym > , and sendest

: 21 His sons <1121 ben > come to honour <3513 kabad > , and
he knoweth <3045 yada< > [ it ] not ; and they are brought

: 22 But his flesh <1320 basar > upon him shall have pain <3510

shall mourn <56> .

: Job 15

: 1 . Then answered <6030 <anah > Eliphaz <0464 > Eliyphaz >
the Temanite <8489 Teymaniy > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

wherewith he can do <5953 <alal > no <3808 lo> > good <3276

: 4 Yea <0637 >aph > , thou castest <6565 parar > off fear

: 5 For thy mouth <6310 peh > uttereth <0502 >alph > thine
iniquity <5771 <avon > , and thou choosest <0977 bachar > the
tongue <3956 lashown > of the crafty <6175 <aruwm > .

: 6 Thine own mouth <6310 peh > condemneth <7561 rasha< > thee ,

wisdom <2451 chokmah > to thyself <0413 >el > ?

<0539 >aman > in his saints <6918 qadowsh > ; yea , the
heavens <8064 shamayim > are not clean <2141 zakak > in his
sight <5869 <ayin > .

: 16 How <0637 >aph > much more abominable <8581 ta<ab > and
filthy <0444 >alach > [ is ] man <0376 >iysh > , which
drinketh <8354 shathah > iniquity <5766 <evel > like water <4325
mayim > ?

: 17 . I will shew <2331 chavah > thee , hear <8085 shama< >
me ; and that [ which ] I have seen <2372 chazah > I will
declare <5608 caphar > ;

: 18 Which <0834 >aher > wise <2450 chakam > men have told
<5046 nagad > from their fathers <1> , and have not hid <3582
kachad > [ it ] :

: 19 Unto whom <1992 hem > alone <0905 bad > the earth <0776
>erets > was given <5414 nathan > , and no <3808 lo> > stranger
<2114 zuwr > passed <5674 <abar > among <8432 tavek > them .

: 20 The wicked <7563 rasha< > man travaileth <2342 chuwl >
with pain all <3605 kol > [ his ] days <3117 yowm > , and the
number <4557 micpar > of years <8141 shaneh > is hidden <6845
tsaphan > to the oppressor <6184 <ariyts > .

: 21 A dreadful <6343 pachad > sound <6963 qowl > [ is ] in
his ears <0241 >ozen > : in prosperity <7965 shalowm > the
destroyer <7703 shadad > shall come <0935 bow> > upon him .

: 22 He believeth <0539 >aman > not that he shall return <7725
shuwb > out of darkness <2822 choshek > , and he is waited
<6822 tsaphah > for of the sword <2719 chereb > .

: 23 He wandereth <5074 nadad > abroad <5074 nadad > for bread
<3899 lechem > , [ saying ] , Where <0346 >ayeh > [ is it ]
? he knoweth <3045 yada< > that the day <3117 yowm > of
darkness <2822 choshek > is ready <3559 kuwn > at his hand <3027
yad > .

: 24 Trouble <6862 tsar > and anguish <4691 m@tsuwqah > shall
make him afraid <1204 ba<ath > ; they shall prevail < 8630
taqaph > against him , as a king <4428 melek > ready <6264
<athiyd > to the battle <3593 kiydowr > .

: 25 For he stretcheth <5186 natah > out his hand <3027 yad >
against <0413 >el > God <0410 >el > , and strengtheneth <1396
gabar > himself against <0413 >el > the Almighty < 7706 Shadday >
.

: 26 He runneth <7323 ruwts > upon him , [ even ] on [ his
] neck <6677 tsavva>r > , upon the thick <5672 < abiy > bosses
<1354 gab > of his bucklers <4043 magen > :

: 27 Because <3588 kiy > he covereth <3680 kacah > his face
<6440 paniym > with his fatness <2459 cheleb > , and maketh
<6213 <asah > collops <6371 piymah > of fat < 6371 piymah > on [
his ] flanks <3689 kecel > .

: 28 And he dwelleth <7931 shakan > in desolate <3582 kachad >
cities <5892 <iyr > , [ and ] in houses <1004 bayith > which
no <3808 lo> > man inhabiteth <3427 yashab > , which <0834
>aher > are ready <6257 <athad > to become heaps <1530 gal > .

: 29 He shall not be rich <6238 <ashar > , neither < 3808 lo> >
shall his substance <2428 chayil > continue <6965 quwm > ,
neither <3808 lo> > shall he prolong <5186 natah > the
perfection <4512 minleh > thereof upon the earth <0776 >erets > .


: 30 He shall not depart <5493 cuwr > out of darkness < 2822
choshek > ; the flame <7957 shalhebeth > shall dry < 3001 yabesh

ruwach > of his mouth <6310 peh > shall he go <5493 cuwr > away .


: 31 Let not him that is deceived <8582 ta<ah > trust <0539
>aman > in vanity <7723 shav> > : for vanity < 7723 shav> > shall
be his recompence <8545 t@muwrah > .

: 32 It shall be accomplished <4390 male> > before < 3808 lo> >
his time <3117 yowm > , and his branch <3712 kippah > shall not
be green <7488 ra<anan > .

: 33 He shall shake <2554 chamac > off his unripe <1154 becer >
grape <1154 becer > as the vine <1612 gephen > , and shall cast
<7993 shalak > off his flower <5328 nitstsah > as the olive
<2132 zayith > .

: 34 For the congregation <5712 <edah > of hypocrites <2611
chaneph > [ shall be ] desolate <1565 galmuwd > , and fire
<0784 >esh > shall consume <0398 >akal > the tabernacles <0168
>ohel > of bribery <7810 shachad > .

: 35 They conceive <2029 harah > mischief <5999 < amal > , and
bring <3205 yalad > forth <3205 yalad > vanity < 0205 >aven > ,
and their belly <0990 beten > prepareth <3559 kuwn > deceit
<4820 mirmah > .

: Job 16

: 1 . Then Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 < anah > and said
<0559 >amar > ,

: 2 I have heard <8085 shama< > many <7227 rab > such <0428 >el
- leh > things : miserable <5999 <amal > comforters <5162 nacham

: 3 Shall vain <7307 ruwach > words <1697 dabar > have an end
<7093 qets > ? or <0176 >ow > what <4100 mah > emboldeneth
<4834 marats > thee that thou answerest <6030 <anah > ?

: 4 I also <1571 gam > could speak <1696 dabar > as ye [ do ]
: if <3863 luw> > your soul <5315 nephesh > were in my soul s
<5315 nephesh > stead <8478 tachath > , I could heap <2266
chabar > up words <4405 millah > against <5921 <al > you , and
shake <5128 nuwa< > mine head <7218 ro>sh > at you .

: 5 [ But ] I would strengthen <0553 >amats > you with my
mouth <6310 peh > , and the moving <5205 niyd > of my lips
<8193 saphah > should asswage <2820 chasak > [ your grief ] .

: 6 . Though <0518 >im > I speak <1696 dabar > , my grief
<3511 k@>eb > is not asswaged <2820 chasak > : and [ though ]
I forbear <2308 chadal > , what <4100 mah > am I eased <1980
halak > ?

: 7 But now <6258 <attah > he hath made me weary < 3811 la>ah > :
thou hast made desolate <8074 shamem > all <3605 kol > my
company <5712 <edah > .

: 8 And thou hast filled <7059 qamat > me with wrinkles <7059
qamat > , [ which ] is a witness <5707 <ed > [ against me ]
: and my leanness <3585 kachash > rising <6965 quwm > up in me
beareth <6030 <anah > witness <6030 <anah > to my face <6440
paniym > .

: 9 He teareth <2963 taraph > [ me ] in his wrath < 0639 >aph

upon me with his teeth <8127 shen > ; mine enemy <6862 tsar >
sharpeneth <3913 latash > his eyes <5869 <ayin > upon me .

: 10 They have gaped <6473 pa<ar > upon me with their mouth
<6310 peh > ; they have smitten <5221 nakah > me upon the cheek
<3895 l@chiy > reproachfully <2781 cherpah > ; they have
gathered <4390 male> > themselves together <3162 yachad >
against <5921 <al > me .

: 11 God <0410 >el > hath delivered <5462 cagar > me to the
ungodly <5760 <aviyl > , and turned <3399 yarat > me over <5921
<al > into <0413 >el > the hands <3027 yad > of the wicked <7563
rasha< > .

: 12 I was at ease <7961 shalev > , but he hath broken <6565
parar > me asunder : he hath also taken <0247 >azar > [ me ]
by my neck <6203 <oreph > , and shaken <6327 puwts > me to
pieces , and set <6965 quwm > me up for his mark <4307 mattara>

: 13 His archers <7228 rab > compass <5437 cabab > me round
<5437 cabab > about , he cleaveth <6398 palach > my reins <3629
kilyah > asunder , and doth not spare <2550 chamal > ; he
poureth <8210 shaphak > out my gall <4845 m@rerah > upon the
ground <0776 >erets > .

: 14 He breaketh <6555 parats > me with breach <6556 perets >
upon breach <6556 perets > , he runneth <7323 ruwts > upon me
like a giant <1368 gibbowr > .

: 15 I have sewed <8609 taphar > sackcloth <8242 saq > upon my
skin <1539 geled > , and defiled <5953 <alal > my horn <7161
qeren > in the dust <6083 <aphar > .

: 16 My face <6440 paniym > is foul <2560 chamar > with weeping
<1065 B@kiy > , and on <5921 <al > my eyelids < 6079 <aph<aph >
[ is ] the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth

: 17 . Not for [ any ] injustice <2555 chamac > in mine
hands <3709 kaph > : also my prayer <8605 t@phillah > [ is ]
pure <2134 zak > .

: 18 O earth <0776 >erets > , cover <3680 kacah > not thou my
blood <1818 dam > , and let my cry <2201 za<aq > have <1961
hayah > no <0408 >al > place <4725 maqowm > .

: 19 Also <1571 gam > now <6258 <attah > , behold <2009 hinneh

and my record <7717 sahed > [ is ] on high <4791 marowm > .

: 20 My friends <7453 rea< > scorn <3887 luwts > me : [ but ]
mine eye <5869 <ayin > poureth <1811 dalaph > out [ tears ]
unto God <0433 >elowahh > .

: 21 O that one might plead <3198 yakach > for a man < 1397
geber > with God <0433 >elowahh > , as a man < 0120 >adam > [
pleadeth ] for his neighbour <7453 rea< > !

: 22 When <3588 kiy > a few <4557 micpar > years < 8141 shaneh >
are come <0857 >athah > , then I shall go <1980 halak > the way
<0734 >orach > [ whence ] I shall not return <7725 shuwb > .

: Job 17

: 1 . My breath <7307 ruwach > is corrupt <2254 chabal > , my
days <3117 yowm > are extinct <2193 za<ak > , the graves <6913
qeber > [ are ready ] for me .

: 2 [ Are there ] not mockers <2049 hathol > with me ? and
doth not mine eye <5869 <ayin > continue <3885 luwn > in their
provocation <4784 marah > ?

: 3 Lay <7760 suwm > down now <4994 na> > , put me in a surety
<6148 <arab > with thee ; who <4310 miy > [ is ] he [ that ]
will strike <8628 taqa< > hands <3027 yad > with me ?

: 4 For thou hast hid <6845 tsaphan > their heart <3820 leb >
from understanding <7922 sekel > : therefore shalt thou not
exalt <7311 ruwm > [ them ] .

: 5 He that speaketh <5046 nagad > flattery <2506 cheleq > to
[ his ] friends <7453 rea< > , even the eyes <5869 <ayin > of
his children <1121 ben > shall fail <3615 kalah > .

: 6 He hath made <3322 yatsag > me also a byword <4914 m@showl
> of the people <5971 <am > ; and aforetime <6440 paniym > I
was as a tabret <8611 topheth > .

: 7 Mine eye <5869 <ayin > also is dim <3543 kahah > by reason
of sorrow <3708ka<ac > , and all <3605 kol > my members <3338
yatsur > [ are ] as a shadow <6738 tsel > .

: 8 Upright <3477 yashar > [ men ] shall be astonied < 8074
shamem > at <5921 <al > this <2063 zo>th > , and the innocent
<5355 naqiy > shall stir <5782 <uwr > up himself against <5921
<al > the hypocrite <2611 chaneph > .

: 9 The righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > also shall hold < 0270 >achaz

stronger <0555 >omets > .

: 10 . But as for you all <3605 kol > , do ye return < 7725
shuwb > , and come <0935 bow> > now <4994 na> > : for I cannot
<3808 lo> > find <4672 matsa> > [ one ] wise <2450 chakam > [
man ] among you .

: 11 My days <3117 yowm > are past <5674 <abar > , my purposes
<2154 zimmah > are broken <5423 nathaq > off , [ even ] the
thoughts <4180 mowrash > of my heart <3824 lebab > .

: 12 They change <7760 suwm > the night <3915 layil > into day
<3117 yowm > : the light <0216 >owr > [ is ] short <7138
qarowb > because <6440 paniym > of darkness <2822 choshek > .

: 13 If <0518 >im > I wait <6960 qavah > , the grave <7585
sh@>owl > [ is ] mine house <1004 bayith > : I have made <7502
raphad > my bed <3326 yatsuwa< > in the darkness < 2822 choshek >
.

: 14 I have said <7121 qara> > to corruption <7845 shachath > ,
Thou [ art ] my father <1> : to the worm <7415 rimmah > , [
Thou art ] my mother <0517 >em > , and my sister < 0269

: 15 And where [ is ] now <0645 >ephow > my hope < 8615 tiqvah

<7789 shuwr > it ?

: 16 They shall go <3381 yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the bars
<0905 bad > of the pit <7585 sh@>owl > , when < 0518 >im > [
our ] rest <5183 Nachath > together <3162 yachad > [ is ] in
the dust <6083 <aphar > .

: Job 18

: 1 . Then answered <6030 <anah > Bildad <1085 Bildad > the
Shuhite <7747 Shuchiy > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > [ will it be ere ] ye
make <7760 suwm > an end <7078 qenets > of words < 4405 millah >
? mark <0995 biyn > , and afterwards <0310 >achar > we will
speak <1696 dabar > .

: 3 Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > are we counted <2803 chashab >
as beasts <0929 b@hemah > , [ and ] reputed <2804 chashab >
vile <2933 tamah > in your sight <5869 <ayin > ?

: 4 He teareth <2963 taraph > himself <5315 nephesh > in his
anger <0639 >aph > : shall the earth <0776 >erets > be forsaken
<5800 <azab > for thee ? and shall the rock <6697 tsuwr > be
removed <6275 <athaq > out of his place <4725 maqowm > ?

: 5 . Yea <1571 gam > , the light <0216 >owr > of the wicked
<7563 rasha< > shall be put <1846 da<ak > out , and the spark
<7632 shabiyb > of his fire <0784 >esh > shall not shine <5050
nagahh > .

: 6 The light <0216 >owr > shall be dark <2821 chashak > in his
tabernacle <0168 >ohel > , and his candle <5216 niyr > shall be
put <1846 da<ak > out with him .

: 7 The steps <6806 tsa<ad > of his strength <0202 >own > shall
be straitened <3334 yatsar > , and his own counsel < 6098 <etsah
> shall cast <7993 shalak > him down .

: 8 For he is cast <7971 shalach > into a net <7568 resheth >
by his own feet <7272 regel > , and he walketh <1980 halak >
upon a snare <7639 s@bakah > .

: 9 The gin <6341 pach > shall take <0270 >achaz > [ him ] by
the heel <6119 <aqeb > , [ and ] the robber <6782 tsammiym >
shall prevail <2388 chazaq > against <5921 <al > him .

: 10 The snare <2256 chebel > [ is ] laid for him in the
ground <0776 >erets > , and a trap <4434 malkodeth > for him in
the way <5410 nathiyb > .

: 11 . Terrors <1091 ballahah > shall make him afraid < 1204
ba<ath > on every <5437 cabab > side <5439 cabiyb > , and shall
drive <6327 puwts > him to his feet <7272 regel > .

: 12 His strength <0202 >own > shall be hungerbitten <7457
ra<eb > , and destruction <0343 >eyd > [ shall be ] ready
<3559 kuwn > at his side <6763 tsela< > .

: 13 It shall devour <0398 >akal > the strength < 0905 bad > of
his skin <5785 <owr > : [ even ] the firstborn < 1060 b@kowr >
of death <4194 maveth > shall devour <0398 >akal > his strength
<0905 bad > .

: 14 His confidence <4009 mibtach > shall be rooted < 5423
nathaq > out of his tabernacle <0168 >ohel > , and it shall
bring <6805 tsa<ad > him to the king <4428 melek > of terrors
<1091 ballahah > .

: 15 It shall dwell <7931 shakan > in his tabernacle < 0168
>ohel > , because [ it is ] none <1097 b@liy > of his :
brimstone <1614 gophriyth > shall be scattered <2219 zarah >
upon his habitation <5116 naveh > .

: 16 His roots <8328 sheresh > shall be dried <3001 yabesh > up
beneath <8478 tachath > , and above <4605 ma<al > shall his
branch <7105 qatsiyr > be cut <5243 namal > off .

: 17 His remembrance <2143 zeker > shall perish <6> from the
earth <0776 >erets > , and he shall have no <3808 lo> > name
<8034 shem > in the street .

: 18 He shall be driven <1920 Hadaph > from light <0216 >owr >
into darkness <2822 choshek > , and chased <5074 nadad > out of
the world <8398 tebel > .

: 19 He shall neither <3808 lo> > have son <5209 niyn > nor
<3808 lo> > nephew <5220 neked > among his people <5971 <am > ,
nor <3808 lo> > any remaining <8300 sariyd > in his dwellings
<4033 maguwr > .

: 20 They that come after <0314 >acharown > [ him ] shall be
astonied <8074 shamem > at <5921 <al > his day < 3117 yowm > ,
as they that went <6923 qadam > before <6931 qadmowniy > were
affrighted .

: 21 Surely <0389 >ak > such <0428 >el - leh > [ are ] the
dwellings <4908 mishkan > of the wicked <5767 <avval > , and
this <2088 zeh > [ is ] the place <4725 maqowm > [ of him
that ] knoweth <3045 yada< > not God <0410 >el > .

: Job 19

: 1 . Then Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 < anah > and said
<0559 >amar > ,

: 2 How <5704 <ad > long <5704 <ad > will ye vex <3013 yagah >
my soul <5315 nephesh > , and break <1792 daka> > me in pieces
with words <4405 millah > ?

: 3 These <2088 zeh > ten <6235 <eser > times < 6471 pa<am >
have ye reproached <3637 kalam > me : ye are not ashamed <0954
buwsh > [ that ] ye make yourselves strange <1970 hakar > to
me .

: 4 And be it indeed <0551 >omnam > [ that ] I have erred
<7683 shagag > , mine error <4879 m@shuwgah > remaineth <3885
luwn > with myself .

: 5 If <0518 >im > indeed <0551 >omnam > ye will magnify <1431
gadal > [ yourselves ] against <5921 <al > me , and plead
<3198 yakach > against <5921 <al > me my reproach <2781 cherpah

: 6 Know <3045 yada< > now <0645 >ephow > that God <0433
>elowahh > hath overthrown <5791 <avath > me , and hath
compassed <5362 naqaph > me with his net <4685 matsowd > .

: 7 Behold <2005 hen > , I cry <6817 tsa<aq > out of wrong
<2555 chamac > , but I am not heard <6030 <anah > : I cry <7768
shava< > aloud <7768 shava< > , but [ there is ] no <3808 lo>

: 8 . He hath fenced <1443 gadar > up my way <0734 > orach >
that I cannot <3808 lo> > pass <5674 <abar > , and he hath set
<7760 suwm > darkness <2822 choshek > in my paths < 5410 nathiyb

: 9 He hath stripped <6584 pashat > me of my glory < 3519 kabowd

my head <7218 ro>sh > .

: 10 He hath destroyed <5422 nathats > me on every < 5437 cabab

hope <8615 tiqvah > hath he removed <5265 naca< > like a tree
<6086 <ets > .

: 11 He hath also kindled <2734 charah > his wrath < 0639 >aph >
against <5921 <al > me , and he counteth <2803 chashab > me
unto him as [ one of ] his enemies <6862 tsar > .

: 12 His troops <1416 g@duwd > come <0935 bow> > together <3162

against <5921 <al > me , and encamp <2583 chanah > round <5439
cabiyb > about my tabernacle <0168 >ohel > .

: 13 He hath put my brethren <0251 >ach > far <7350 rachowq >
from me , andmine acquaintance <3045 yada< > are verily <0389

: 14 My kinsfolk <7138 qarowb > have failed <2308 chadal > ,
and my familiar <3045 yada< > friends have forgotten < 7911

: 15 They that dwell <1481 guwr > in mine house <1004 bayith > ,
and my maids <0519 >amah > , count <2803 chashab > me for a
stranger <2114 zuwr > : I am an alien <5237 nokriy > in their

: 16 I called <7121 qara> > my servant <5650 < ebed > , and he
gave [ me ] no <3808 lo> > answer <6030 <anah > ; I intreated
<2603 chanan > him with my mouth <6310 peh > .

: 17 My breath <7307 ruwach > is strange <2114 zuwr > to my
wife <0802 >ishshah > , though I intreated <2589 channowth >
for the children s <1121 ben > [ sake ] of mine own body <0990
beten > .

: 18 Yea <1571 gam > , young children despised <3988 ma>ac >
me ; I arose <6965 quwm > , and they spake <1696 dabar >
against me .

: 19 All <3605 kol > my inward <5475 cowd > friends <4962 math

: 20 My bone <6106 <etsem > cleaveth <1692 dabaq > to my skin
<5785 <owr > and to my flesh <1320 basar > , and I am escaped
<4422 malat > with the skin <5785 <owr > of my teeth <8127 shen

: 21 Have pity <2603 chanan > upon me , have pity < 2603 chanan
> upon me , O ye my friends <7453 rea< > ; for the hand <3027
yad > of God <0433 >elowahh > hath touched <5060 naga< > me .

: 22 Why <4100 mah > do ye persecute <7291 radaph > me as God
<0410 >el > , and are not satisfied <7646 saba< > with my flesh
<1320 basar > ?

: 23 . Oh that my words <4405 millah > were now <0645 >ephow >
written <3789 kathab > ! oh that they were printed < 2710 chaqaq

: 24 That they were graven <2672 chatsab > with an iron <1270
barzel > pen<5842 <et > and lead <5777 < owphereth > in the rock
<6697 tsuwr > for ever <5703 <ad > !

: 25 For I know <3045 yada< > [ that ] my redeemer <1350
ga>al > liveth <2416 chay > , and [ that ] he shall stand
<6965 quwm > at the latter <0314 >acharown > [ day ] upon the
earth <6083 <aphar > :

: 26 And [ though ] after <0310 >achar > my skin < 5785 <owr >
[ worms ] destroy <5362 naqaph > this <2063 zo>th > [ body ]
, yet in my flesh <1320 basar > shall I see <2372 chazah > God
<0433 >elowahh > :

: 27 Whom <0834 >aher > I shall see <2372 chazah > for myself ,
and mine eyes <5869 <ayin > shall behold <7200 ra> ah > , and
not another <2114 zuwr > ; [ though ] my reins <3629 kilyah >
be consumed <3615 kalah > within <2436 cheyq > me .

: 28 But ye should say <0559 >amar > , Why <4100 mah >
persecute <7291 radaph > we him , seeing the root <8328 sheresh

: 29 Be ye afraid <1481 guwr > of the sword <2719 chereb > :
for wrath <2534 chemah > [ bringeth ] the punishments < 5771
<avon > of the sword <2719 chereb > , that ye may know <3045
yada< > [ there is ] a judgment <1779 diyn > .

: Job 20

: 1 . Then answered <6030 <anah > Zophar <6691 Tsowphar > the
Naamathite <5284 Na<amathiy > , and said <0559 > amar > ,

: 2 Therefore <3651 ken > do my thoughts <5587 ca< iph > cause
me to answer <7725 shuwb > , and for [ this ] I make haste
<2363 chuwsh > .

: 3 I have heard <8085 shama< > the check <4148 muwcar > of my
reproach <3639 k@limmah > , and the spirit <7307 ruwach > of my
understanding <0998 biynah > causeth me to answer <6030 <anah > .


: 4 Knowest <3045 yada< > thou [ not ] this <2063 zo>th > of
old <5703 <ad > , since <4480 min > man <0120 >adam > was
placed <7760 suwm > upon earth <0776 >erets > ,

: 5 That the triumphing <7445 r@nanah > of the wicked < 7563
rasha< > [ is ] short <7138 qarowb > , and the joy <8057
simchah > of the hypocrite <2611 chaneph > [ but ] for a
moment <7281 rega< > ?

: 6 Though his excellency <7863 siy> > mount <5927 <alah > up
to the heavens <8064 shamayim > , and his head <7218 ro>sh >
reach <5060 naga< > unto the clouds <5645 <ab > ;

: 7 [ Yet ] he shall perish <6> for ever <5331 netsach > like
his own dung <1561 gelel > : they which have seen <7200 ra>ah >
him shall say <0559 >amar > , Where <0335 >ay > [ is ] he ?

: 8 He shall fly <5774 <uwph > away as a dream <2472 chalowm > ,
and shall not be found <4672 matsa> > : yea , he shall be
chased <5074 nadad > away as a vision <2384 chizzayown > of the
night <3915 layil > .

: 9 The eye <5869 <ayin > also [ which ] saw <7805 shazaph >
him shall [ see him ] no <3808 lo> > more <3254 yacaph > ;
neither <3808 lo> > shall his place <4725 maqowm > any more
<5750 <owd > behold <7789 shuwr > him .

: 10 . His children <1121 ben > shall seek to please < 7521
ratsah > the poor <1800 dal > , and his hands <3027 yad > shall
restore <7725 shuwb > their goods <0202 >own > .

: 11 His bones <6106 <etsem > are full <4390 male> > [ of the
sin ] of his youth <5934 <aluwm > , which shall lie <7901
shakab > down <7904 shakah > with him in the dust < 6083 <aphar >
.

: 12 Though <0518 >im > wickedness <7451 ra< > be sweet <4985
mathaq > in his mouth <6310 peh > , [ though ] he hide <3582
kachad > it under <8478 tachath > his tongue <3956 lashown > ;

: 13 [ Though ] he spare <2550 chamal > it , and forsake
<5800 <azab > it not ; but keep <4513 mana< > it still within
<8432 tavek > his mouth <2441 chek > :

: 14 [ Yet ] his meat <3899 lechem > in his bowels < 4578
me<ah > is turned <2015haphak > , [ it is ] the gall <4846
m@rorah > of asps <6620 pethen > within <7030 qiytharoc > him .

: 15 He hath swallowed <1104 bala< > down riches < 2428 chayil >
, and he shall vomit <6958 qow> > them up again : God <0410 >el
> shall cast <3423 yarash > them out of his belly < 0990 beten > .


: 16 He shall suck <3243 yanaq > the poison <7219 ro> sh > of
asps <6620 pethen > : the viper s <0660 >eph<eh > tongue <3956
lashown > shall slay <2026 harag > him .

: 17 He shall not see <7200 ra>ah > the rivers <6390 p@laggah >
, the floods <5104 nahar > , the brooks <5158 nachal > of
honey <1706 d@bash > and butter <2529 chem>ah > .

: 18 That which he laboured <3022 yaga< > for shall he restore
<7725 shuwb > , and shall not swallow <1104 bala< > [ it ]
down : according to [ his ] substance <2428 chayil > [ shall
] the restitution <8545 t@muwrah > [ be ] , and he shall not
rejoice <5965 <alac > [ therein ] .

: 19 Because <3588 kiy > he hath oppressed <7533 ratsats > [
and ] hath forsaken <5800 <azab > the poor <1800 dal > ; [
because ] he hath violently <1497 gazal > taken <1497 gazal >
away <1497 gazal > an house <1004 bayith > which he builded
<1129 banah > not ;

: 20 Surely <3588 kiy > he shall not feel <3045 yada< >
quietness <7961 shalev > in his belly <0990 beten > , he shall
not save <4422 malat > of that which he desired <2530 chamad > .

: 21 There shall none <0369 >ayin > of his meat < 0400 >okel >
be left <8300 sariyd > ; therefore shall no <3808 lo> > man
look <2342 chuwl > for his goods <2898 tuwb > .

: 22 In the fulness <4390 male> > of his sufficiency <5607
cepheq > he shall be in straits <3334 yatsar > : every <3605 kol
> hand <3027 yad > of the wicked <6001 <amel > shall come <0935
bow> > upon him .

: 23 . [ When ] he is about to fill <4390 male> > his belly
<0990 beten > , [ God ] shall cast <7971 shalach > the fury
<2740 charown > of his wrath <0639 >aph > upon him , and shall
rain <4305 matar > [ it ] upon him while he is eating < 3894
lachuwm > .

: 24 He shall flee <1272 barach > from the iron <1270 barzel >
weapon <5402 nesheq > , [ and ] the bow <7198 qesheth > of
steel <5154 n@chuwshah > shall strike <2498 chalaph > him
through .

: 25 It is drawn <8025 shalaph > , and cometh <3318 yatsa> >
out of the body <1465 gevah > ; yea , the glittering < 1300
baraq > sword <1300 baraq > cometh <1980 halak > out of his gall
<4846 m@rorah > : terrors <0367 >eymah > [ are ] upon him .

: 26 All <3605 kol > darkness <2822 choshek > [ shall be ]
hid <2244> in his secret <6845 tsaphan > places : a fire <0784
>esh > not blown <5301 naphach > shall consume < 0398 >akal > him
; it shall go ill <3415 yara< > with him that is left <8300
sariyd > in his tabernacle <0168 >ohel > .

: 27 The heaven <8064 shamayim > shall reveal <1540 galah > his
iniquity <5771 <avon > ; and the earth <0776 > erets > shall
rise <6965 quwm > up against him .

: 28 The increase <2981 y@buwl > of his house <1004 bayith >
shall depart<1540 galah > , [ and his goods ] shall flow
<5064 nagar > away in the day <3117 yowm > of his wrath <0639
>aph > .

: 29 This <2088 zeh > [ is ] the portion <2506 cheleq > of a
wicked <7563 rasha< > man <0120 >adam > from God <0430 >elohiym

unto him by God <0410 >el > .

: Job 21

: 1 . But Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 < anah > and said
<0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Hear <8085 shama< > diligently my speech <4405 millah > ,
and let this <2063 zo>th > be your consolations <8575 tanchuwm >
.

: 3 Suffer <5375 nasa> > me that I may speak <1696 dabar > ;
and after <0310 >achar > that I have spoken <1696 dabar > ,
mock <3932 la<ag > on .

: 4 As for me , [ is ] my complaint <7878 siyach > to man
<0120 >adam > ? and if <0518 >im > [ it were so ] , why
<4069 madduwa< > should not my spirit <7307 ruwach > be troubled
<7114 qatsar > ?

: 5 Mark <6437 panah > me , and be astonished <8074 shamem > ,
and lay <7760 suwm > [ your ] hand <3027 yad > upon [ your ]
mouth <6310 peh > .

: 6 Even when <0518 >im > I remember <2142 zakar > I am afraid
<0926 bahal > , and trembling <6427 pallatsuwth > taketh <0270
>achaz > hold <0270 >achaz > on my flesh <1320 basar > .

: 7 . Wherefore <4069 madduwa< > do the wicked < 7563 rasha< >
live <2421 chayah > , become <6275 <athaq > old <6275 <athaq > ,
yea <1571 gam > , are mighty <1396 gabar > in power <2428
chayil > ?

: 8 Their seed <2233 zera< > is established <3559 kuwn > in
their sight <6440 paniym > with them , and their offspring
<6631 tse>etsa> > before their eyes <5869 <ayin > .

: 9 Their houses <1004 bayith > [ are ] safe <7965 shalowm >
from fear <6343 pachad > , neither <3808 lo> > [ is ] the rod
<7626 shebet > of God <0433 >elowahh > upon them .

: 10 Their bull <7794 showr > gendereth <5674 <abar > , and
faileth <1602 ga<al > not ; their cow <6510 parah > calveth
<6403 palat > , and casteth <7921 shakol > not her calf .

: 11 They send <7971 shalach > forth their little <5759 <aviyl
> ones like a flock <6629 tso>n > , and their children <3206
yeled > dance <7540 raqad > .

: 12 They take <5375 nasa> > the timbrel <8596 toph > and harp
<3658 kinnowr > , and rejoice <8055 samach > at the sound <6963
qowl > of the organ <5748 <uwgab > .

: 13 They spend <3615 kalah > their days <3117 yowm > in wealth
<2896 towb > , and in a moment <7281 rega< > go <5181 nachath >
down <5181 nachath > to the grave <7585 sh@>owl > .

: 14 Therefore they say <0559 >amar > unto God <0410 >el > ,
Depart <5493 cuwr > from us ; for we desire <2654 chaphets >
not the knowledge <1847 da<ath > of thy ways <1870 derek > .

: 15 What <4100 mah > [ is ] the Almighty <7706 Shadday > ,
that we should serve <5647 <abad > him ? and what < 4100 mah >
profit <3276 ya<al > should we have , if we pray < 6293 paga< >
unto him ?

: 16 Lo <2005 hen > , their good <2898 tuwb > [ is ] not in
their hand <3027 yad > : the counsel <6098 <etsah > of the
wicked <7563 rasha< > is far <7350 rachowq > from me .

: 17 . How <4100 mah > oft is the candle <5216 niyr > of the
wicked <7563 rasha< > put <1846 da<ak > out ! and [ how oft ]
cometh <0935 bow> > their destruction <0343 >eyd > upon them !
[ God ] distributeth <2505 chalaq > sorrows <2256 chebel > in
his anger <0639 >aph > .

: 18 They are as stubble <8401 teben > before <6440 paniym >
the wind <7307 ruwach > , and as chaff <4671 mots > that the
storm <5492 cuwphah > carrieth <1589 ganab > away < 1589 ganab > .


: 19 God <0433 >elowahh > layeth <6845 tsaphan > up his
iniquity <0205 >aven > for his children <1121 ben > : he
rewardeth <7999 shalam > him , and he shall know <3045 yada< >
[ it ] .

: 20 His eyes <5869 <ayin > shall see <7200 ra>ah > his
destruction <3589 kiyd > , and he shall drink <8354 shathah >
of the wrath <2534 chemah > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday > .

: 21 For what <4100 mah > pleasure <2656 chephets > [ hath ]
he in his house <1004 bayith > after <0310 >achar > him , when
the number <4557 micpar > of his months <2320 chodesh > is cut
<2686 chatsats > off in the midst <2686 chatsats > ?

: 22 Shall [ any ] teach <3925 lamad > God <0410 > el >
knowledge <1847 da<ath > ? seeing he judgeth <8199 shaphat >
those that are high <7311 ruwm > .

: 23 One dieth <4191 muwth > in his full <8537 tom > strength
<6106 <etsem > , being wholly <3605 kol > at ease <7946
shal>anan > and quiet <7961 shalev > .

: 24 His breasts <5845 <atiyn > are full <4390 male> > of milk
<2461 chalab > , and his bones <6106 <etsem > are moistened
<8248 shaqah > with marrow <4221 moach > .

: 25 And another <2088 zeh > dieth <4191 muwth > in the
bitterness <4751 mar > of his soul <5315 nephesh > , and never
<3808 lo> > eateth <0398 >akal > with pleasure <2896 towb > .

: 26 They shall lie <7901 shakab > down <7904 shakah > alike
<3162 yachad > in the dust <6083 <aphar > , and the worms <7415
rimmah > shall cover <3680 kacah > them .

: 27 . Behold <2005 hen > , I know <3045 yada< > your
thoughts <4284 machashabah > , and the devices <4209 m@zimmah >
[ which ] ye wrongfully <2554 chamac > imagine <2554 chamac >
against <5921 <al > me .

: 28 For ye say <0559 >amar > , Where <0346 > ayeh > [ is ]
the house <1004 bayith > of the prince <5081 nadiyb > ? and
where <0346 >ayeh > [ are ] the dwelling <4908 mishkan >
places <0168 >ohel > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > ?

: 29 Have ye not asked <7592 sha>al > them that go < 5674 <abar
> by the way <1870 derek > ? and do ye not know < 5234 nakar >
their tokens <0226 >owth > ,

: 30 That the wicked <7451 ra< > is reserved <2820 chasak > to
the day <3117 yowm > of destruction <0343 >eyd > ? they shall
be brought <2986 yabal > forth to the day <3117 yowm > of wrath
<5678 <ebrah > .

: 31 Who <4310 miy > shall declare <5046 nagad > his way <1870
derek > to his face <6440 paniym > ? and who <4310 miy > shall
repay <7999 shalam > him [ what ] he hath done <6213 <asah > ?

: 32 Yet shall he be brought <2986 yabal > to the grave <6913
qeber > , and shall remain <8245 shaqad > in the tomb <1430
gadiysh > .

: 33 The clods <7263 regeb > of the valley <5158 nachal > shall
be sweet <4985 mathaq > unto him , and every <3605 kol > man
<0120 >adam > shall draw <4900 mashak > after < 0310 >achar > him
, as [ there are ] innumerable before <6440 paniym > him .

: 34 How <0349 >eyk > then comfort <5162 nacham > ye me in vain
<1892 hebel > , seeing in your answers <8666 t@shuwbah > there
remaineth <7604 sha>ar > falsehood <4604 ma<al > ?

: Job 22

: 1 . Then Eliphaz <0464 >Eliyphaz > the Temanite < 8489
Teymaniy > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Can a man <1397 geber > be profitable <5532 cakan > unto
God <0410 >el > , as he that is wise <7919 sakal > may be
profitable <5532 cakan > unto himself ?

: 3 [ Is it ] any pleasure <2656 chephets > to the Almighty
<7706 Shadday > , that thou art righteous <6663 tsadaq > ? or
[ is it ] gain <1214 batsa< > [ to him ] , that thou makest
thy ways <1870 derek > perfect <8552 tamam > ?

: 4 Will he reprove <3198 yakach > thee for fear <3374 yir>ah >
of thee ? will he enter <0935 bow> > with thee into judgment
<4941 mishpat > ?

: 5 . [ Is ] not thy wickedness <7451 ra< > great <7227 rab

: 6 For thou hast taken <2254 chabal > a pledge <2254 chabal >
from thy brother <0251 >ach > for nought <2600 chinnam > , and
stripped <6584 pashat > the naked <6174 <arowm > of their
clothing <0899 beged > .

: 7 Thou hast not given water <4325 mayim > to the weary <5889
<ayeph > to drink <8248 shaqah > , and thou hast withholden
<4513 mana< > bread <3899 lechem > from the hungry <7456 ra<eb >
.

: 8 But [ as for ] the mighty <2220 z@rowa< > man < 0376 >iysh

dwelt <3427 yashab > in it .

: 9 Thou hast sent <7971 shalach > widows <0490 > almanah > away
empty <7387 reyqam > , and the arms <2220 z@rowa< > of the
fatherless <3490 yathowm > have been broken <1792 daka> > .

: 10 Therefore snares <6341 pach > [ are ] round < 5439 cabiyb

troubleth <0926 bahal > thee ;

: 11 Or <0176 >ow > darkness <2822 choshek > , [ that ] thou
canst not see <7200 ra>ah > ; and abundance <8229 shiph<ah > of
waters <4325 mayim > cover <3680 kacah > thee .

: 12 [ Is ] not God <0433 >elowahh > in the height <1363
gobahh > of heaven <8064 shamayim > ? and behold < 7200 ra>ah >
the height <7218 ro>sh > of the stars <3556 kowkab > , how
<3588 kiy > high <7311 ruwm > they are !

: 13 And thou sayest <0559 >amar > , How <4100 mah > doth God
<0410 >el > know <3045 yada< > ? can he judge <8199 shaphat >
through the dark <6205 <araphel > cloud <6205 < araphel > ?

: 14 Thick clouds <5645 <ab > [ are ] a covering < 5643 cether

<1980 halak > in the circuit <2329 chuwg > of heaven <8064
shamayim > .

: 15 . Hast thou marked <8104 shamar > the old <5769 <owlam >
way <0734 >orach > which <0834 >aher > wicked <0205 >aven > men
<4962 math > have trodden <1869 darak > ?

: 16 Which <0834 >aher > were cut <7059 qamat > down out of
time <6256 <eth > , whose foundation <3247 y@cowd > was
overflown <3332 yatsaq > with a flood <5104 nahar > :

: 17 Which said <0559 >amar > unto God <0410 >el > , Depart
<5493 cuwr > from us : and what <4100 mah > can the Almighty
<7706 Shadday > do <6466 pa<al > for them ?

: 18 Yet he filled <4390 male> > their houses <1004 bayith >
with good <2896 towb > [ things ] : but the counsel < 6098
<etsah > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > is far < 7350 rachowq >
from me .

: 19 The righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > see <7200 ra>ah > [ it ] ,
and are glad <8056 sameach > : and the innocent <5355 naqiy >
laugh <3932 la<ag > them to scorn .

: 20 Whereas <0518 >im > our substance <7009 qiym > is not cut
<3582 kachad >down , but the remnant <3499 yether > of them the
fire <0784 >esh > consumeth <0398 >akal > .

: 21 . Acquaint <5532 cakan > now <4994 na> > thyself with him
, and be at peace <7999 shalam > : thereby good <2896 towb >
shall come <0935 bow> > unto thee .

: 22 Receive <3947 laqach > , I pray <4994 na> > thee , the
law <8451 towrah >from his mouth <6310 peh > , and lay <7760
suwm > up his words <0561 >emer > in thine heart < 3824 lebab > .

: 23 If <0518 >im > thou return <7725 shuwb > to the Almighty
<7706 Shadday > , thou shalt be built <1129 banah > up , thou
shalt put away <7368 rachaq > iniquity <5766 <evel > far <7350
rachowq > from thy tabernacles <0168 >ohel > .

: 24 Then shalt thou lay <7896 shiyth > up gold <1220 betser >
as dust <6083 <aphar > , and the [ gold <1220 betser > ] of
Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr > as the stones <6697 tsuwr > of the brooks
<5158 nachal > .

: 25 Yea , the Almighty <7706 Shadday > shall be thy defence
<1220 betser > , and thou shalt have plenty <8443 tow<aphah >
of silver <3701 keceph > .

: 26 For then <0227 >az > shalt thou have thy delight <6026
<anag > in the Almighty <7706 Shadday > , and shalt lift <5375

: 27 Thou shalt make thy prayer <6279 <athar > unto him , and
he shall hear <8085 shama< > thee , and thou shalt pay <7999
shalam > thy vows <5088 neder > .

: 28 Thou shalt also decree <1504 gazar > a thing <0562 >omer >
, and it shall be established <6965 quwm > unto thee : and the
light <0216 >owr > shall shine <5050 nagahh > upon thy ways
<1870 derek > .

: 29 When <3588 kiy > [ men ] are cast <8213 shaphel > down
<8213 shaphel > , then thou shalt say <0559 >amar > , [ There
is ] lifting <1466 gevah > up ; and he shall save < 3467 yasha<

: 30 He shall deliver <4422 malat > the island <0336 >iy > of
the innocent <5355 naqiy > : and it is delivered <4422 malat >
by the pureness <1252 bor > of thine hands <3709 kaph > .

: Job 23

: 1 . Then Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 < anah > and said
<0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Even <1571 gam > to day <3117 yowm > [ is ] my complaint
<7878 siyach > bitter <4805 m@riy > : my stroke < 3027 yad > is
heavier <3513 kabad > than <5921 <al > my groaning <0585
>anachah > .

: 3 Oh that I knew <3045 yada< > where I might find < 4672
matsa> > him ! [ that ] I might come <0935 bow> > [ even ]
to his seat <8499 t@kuwnah > !

: 4 I would order <6186 <arak > [ my ] cause <4941 mishpat >
before <6440 paniym > him , and fill <4390 male> > my mouth
<6310 peh > with arguments <8433 towkechah > .

: 5 I would know <3045 yada< > the words <4405 millah > [
which ] he would answer <6030 <anah > me , and understand
<0995 biyn > what <4100 mah > he would say <0559 >amar > unto me
.

: 6 Will he plead <7378 riyb > against <5978 <immad > me with
[ his ] great <7227 rab > power <3581 koach > ? No <3808 lo> >
; but he would put <7760 suwm > [ strength ] in me .

: 7 There <8033 sham > the righteous <3477 yashar > might
dispute <3198 yakach > with him ; so should I be delivered
<6403 palat > for ever <5331 netsach > from my judge <8199
shaphat > .

: 8 . Behold <2005 hen > , I go <1980 halak > forward <6924
qedem > , but he [ is ] not [ there <8033 sham > ] ; and
backward <0268 >achowr > , but I cannot <3808 lo> > perceive
<3045 yada< > him :

: 9 On the left <8040 s@mo>wl > hand <8040 s@mo> wl > , where
he doth work <6213 <asah > , but I cannot <3808 lo> > behold
<2372 chazah > [ him ] : he hideth <5848 <ataph > himself on
the right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > , that I cannot
<3808 lo> > see <7200 ra>ah > [ him ] :

: 10 But he knoweth <3045 yada< > the way <1870 derek > that I
take <5978 <immad > : [ when ] he hath tried <0974 bachan > me
, I shall come <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > as gold
<2091 zahab > .

: 11 My foot <7272 regel > hath held <0270 >achaz > his steps
<0838 >ashur > , his way <1870 derek > have I kept <8104 shamar
> , and not declined <5186 natah > .

: 12 Neither <3808 lo> > have I gone <4185 muwsh > back <4185
muwsh > from the commandment <4687 mitsvah > of his lips <8193
saphah > ; I have esteemed <6845 tsaphan > the words <0561
>emer > of his mouth <6310 peh > more than my necessary <2706
choq > [ food ] .

: 13 . But he [ is ] in one <0259 >echad > [ mind ] , and
who <4310 miy > can turn <7725 shuwb > him ? and [ what ] his
soul <5315 nephesh > desireth <0183 >avah > , even [ that ]
he doeth <6213 <asah > .

: 14 For he performeth <7999 shalam > [ the thing that is ]
appointed <2706 choq > for me : and many <7227 rab > such <2007
hennah > [ things are ] with him .

: 15 Therefore am I troubled <0926 bahal > at his presence
<6440 paniym > : when I consider <0995 biyn > , I am afraid
<6342 pachad > of him .

: 16 For God <0410 >el > maketh my heart <3820 leb > soft <7401
rakak > , and the Almighty <7706 Shadday > troubleth <0926
bahal > me :

: 17 Because <3588 kiy > I was not cut <6780 tsemach > off
before <6440 paniym > the darkness <2822 choshek > , [ neither
] hath he covered <3680 kacah > the darkness <0652 > ophel >
from my face <6440 paniym > .

: Job 24

: 1 . Why <4069 madduwa< > , seeing <7200 ra>ah > times <6256
<eth > are not hidden <6845 tsaphan > from the Almighty <7706
Shadday > , do they that know <5234 nakar > him not see <2372
chazah > his days <3117 yowm > ?

: 2 [ Some ] remove <5472 cuwg > the landmarks <1367 g@buwlah
> ; they violently <1497 gazal > take <1497 gazal > away flocks
<5739 <eder > , and feed <7462 ra<ah > [ thereof ] .

: 3 They drive <5090 nahag > away the ass <2543 chamowr > of
the fatherless <3490 yathowm > , they take <2254 chabal > the
widow s <0490 >almanah > ox <7794 showr > for a pledge <2254
chabal > .

: 4 They turn <5186 natah > the needy <34> out of the way <1870
derek > : the poor <6035 <anav > of the earth < 0776 >erets >
hide <2244> themselves together <3162 yachad > .

: 5 Behold <2005 hen > , [ as ] wild <6501 pere> > asses
<6501 pere> > in the desert <4057 midbar > , go <3318 yatsa> >
they forth <3318 yatsa> > to their work <6467 po< al > ; rising
<7836 shachar > betimes <7836 shachar > for a prey <2964 tereph

lechem > for them [ and ] for [ their ] children <5288 na<ar

: 6 They reap <7114 qatsar > [ every one ] his corn < 1098
b@liyl > in the field <7704 sadeh > : and they gather <3953
laqash > the vintage <3754 kerem > of the wicked < 7563 rasha< > .


: 7 They cause the naked <6174 <arowm > to lodge < 3885 luwn >
without <1097 b@liy > clothing <3830 l@buwsh > , that [ they
have ] no <0369 >ayin > covering <3682 k@cuwth > in the cold
<7135 qarah > .

: 8 They are wet <7372 ratab > with the showers <2230 zerem >
of the mountains <2022 har > , and embrace <2263 chabaq > the
rock <6697 tsuwr > for want <1097 b@liy > of a shelter <4268
machaceh > .

: 9 They pluck <1497 gazal > the fatherless <3490 yathowm >
from the breast <7699 shad > , and take <2254 chabal > a pledge
<2254 chabal > of the poor <6041 <aniy > .

: 10 They cause [ him ] to go <1980 halak > naked < 6174
<arowm > without <1097 b@liy > clothing <3830 l@buwsh > , and
they take <5375 nasa> > away the sheaf <6016 <omer > [ from ]
the hungry <7456 ra<eb > ;

: 11 [ Which ] make oil <6671 tsahar > within <0996 beyn >
their walls <7791 shuwr > , [ and ] tread <1869 darak > [
their ] winepresses <3342 yeqeb > , and suffer thirst < 6770
tsame> > .

: 12 Men <4962 math > groan <5008 na>aq > from out of the city
<5892 <iyr > , and the soul <5315 nephesh > of the wounded
<2491 chalal > crieth <7768 shava< > out : yet God <0433
>elowahh > layeth <7760 suwm > not folly <8604 tiphlah > [ to
them ] .

: 13 . They are of those that rebel <4775 marad > against the
light <0216 >owr > ; they know <5234 nakar > not the ways <1870
derek > thereof , nor <3808 lo> > abide <3427 yashab > in the
paths <5410 nathiyb > thereof .

: 14 The murderer <7523 ratsach > rising <7925 shakam > with
the light <0216 >owr > killeth <6991 qatal > the poor <6041
<aniy > and needy <34> , and in the night <3915 layil > is as a
thief <1590 gannab > .

: 15 The eye <5869 <ayin > also of the adulterer < 5003 na>aph >
waiteth <8104 shamar > for the twilight <5399 nesheph > ,
saying <0559 >amar > , No <3808 lo> > eye < 5869 <ayin > shall
see <7789 shuwr > me : and disguiseth <5643 cether > [ his ]
face <6440 paniym > .

: 16 In the dark <2822 choshek > they dig <2864 chathar >
through <2864 chathar > houses <1004 bayith > , [ which ]
they had marked <2856 chatham > for themselves in the daytime
<3119 yowmam > : they know <3045 yada< > not the light <0216
>owr > .

: 17 For the morning <1242 boqer > [ is ] to them even as the
shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth > : if <3588
kiy > [ one ] know <5234 nakar > [ them , they are in ] the
terrors <1091 ballahah > of the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of
death <6757 tsalmaveth > .

: 18 . He [ is ] swift <7031 qal > as the waters < 4325
mayim > ; their portion <2513 chelqah > is cursed < 7043 qalal >
in the earth <0776 >erets > : he beholdeth <6437 panah > not the
way <1870 derek > of the vineyards <3754 kerem > .

: 19 Drought <6723 tsiyah > and heat <2527 chom > consume <1497
gazal > the snow <7950 sheleg > waters <4325 mayim > : [ so
doth ] the grave <7585 sh@>owl > [ those which ] have sinned
<2398 chata> > .

: 20 The womb <7358 rechem > shall forget <7911 shakach > him ;
the worm <7415 rimmah > shall feed sweetly <4988 mathaq > on
him ; he shall be no <3808 lo> > more <5750 <owd > remembered
<2142 zakar > ; and wickedness <5766 <evel > shall be broken
<7665 shabar > as a tree <6086 <ets > .

: 21 He evil <7462 ra<ah > entreateth the barren < 6135 <aqar >
[ that ] beareth <3205 yalad > not : and doeth not good <3190
yatab > to the widow <0490 >almanah > .

: 22 He draweth <4900 mashak > also the mighty <47> with his
power <3581 koach > : he riseth <6965 quwm > up , and no <3808
lo> > [ man ] is sure <0539 >aman > of life < 2416 chay > .

: 23 [ Though ] it be given <5414 nathan > him [ to be ] in
safety <0983 betach > , whereon he resteth <8172 sha< an > ;
yet his eyes <5869 <ayin > [ are ] upon their ways < 1870 derek

: 24 They are exalted <7426 ramam > for a little <4592 m@<at >
while , but are gone <0369 >ayin > and brought <4355 makak >
low <4355 makak > ; they are taken <7092 qaphats > out of the
way <1870 derek > as all <3605 kol > [ other ] , and cut
<5243 namal > off as the tops <7218 ro>sh > of the ears <7641

: 25 And if <0518 >im > [ it be ] not [ so ] now <0645

<3576 kazab > , and make <7760 suwm > my speech < 4405 millah >
nothing <0408 >al > worth ?

: Job 25

: 1 . Then answered <6030 <anah > Bildad <1085 Bildad > the
Shuhite <7747 Shuchiy > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Dominion <4910 mashal > and fear <6343 pachad > [ are ]
with him , he maketh <6213 <asah > peace <7965 shalowm > in his
high <4791 marowm > places .

: 3 Is there any number <4557 micpar > of his armies < 1416

: 4 How <4100 mah > then can man <0582 >enowsh > be justified
<6663 tsadaq > with God <0410 >el > ? or how < 4100 mah > can he
be clean <2135 zakah > [ that is ] born <3205 yalad > of a

: 5 Behold <2005 hen > even to the moon <3394 yareach > , and
it shineth <0166 >ahal > not ; yea , the stars < 3556 kowkab >
are not pure <2141 zakak > in his sight <5869 <ayin > .

: Job 26

: 1 . But Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 < anah > and said
<0559 >amar > ,

: 2 How <4100 mah > hast thou helped <5826 <azar > [ him that

savest <3467 yasha< > thou the arm <2220 z@rowa< > [ that hath

: 3 How <4100 mah > hast thou counselled <3289 ya< ats > [ him
that hath ] no <3808 lo> > wisdom <2451 chokmah > ? and [ how
] hast thou plentifully <7230 rob > declared <3045 yada< > the
thing as it is ?

: 4 To whom <4310 miy > hast thou uttered <5046 nagad > words
<4405 millah > ? and whose <4310 miy > spirit < 5397 n@shamah >
came <3318 yatsa> > from thee ?

inhabitants <7934 shaken > thereof .

: 6 Hell <7585 sh@>owl > [ is ] naked <6174 < arowm > before
<6440 paniym > him , and destruction <11> hath no <0369 >ayin >
covering <3682 k@cuwth > .

: 7 He stretcheth <5186 natah > out the north <6828 tsaphown >
over <5921 <al > the empty <8414 tohuw > place < 8414 tohuw > ,
[ and ] hangeth <8518 talah > the earth <0776 >erets > upon
nothing <1099 b@liymah > .

: 8 He bindeth <6887 tsarar > up the waters <4325 mayim > in
his thick clouds <5645 <ab > ; and the cloud <6051 <anan > is
not rent <1234 baqa< > under <5921 <al > them .

: 9 He holdeth <0270 >achaz > back the face <6440 paniym > of
his throne <3678 kicce> > , [ and ] spreadeth < 6576 parshez >
his cloud <6051 <anan > upon it .

with bounds <2706 choq > , until <5704 <ad > the day <0216 >owr

: 11 The pillars <5982 <ammuwd > of heaven <8064 shamayim >
tremble <7322 ruwph > and are astonished <8539 tamahh > at his
reproof <1606 g@<arah > .

: 12 He divideth <7280 raga< > the sea <3220 yam > with his
power <3581 koach > , and by his understanding <8394 tabuwn >
he smiteth <4272 machats > through the proud <7293 rahab > .

: Job 27

: 1 . Moreover Job <0347 >Iyowb > continued <3254 yacaph > his
parable <4912 mashal > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 [ As ] God <0410 >el > liveth <2416 chay > , [ who ]
hath taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > my judgment <4941

vexed <4843 marar > my soul <5315 nephesh > ;

: 5 God forbid <2486 chaliylah > that I should justify < 6663
tsadaq > you : till <5704 <ad > I die <1478 gava< > I will not
remove <5493 cuwr > mine integrity <8538 tummah > from me .

: 6 My righteousness <6666 ts@daqah > I hold <2388 chazaq >

unrighteous <5767 <avval > .

: 8 For what <4100 mah > [ is ] the hope <8615 tiqvah > of
the hypocrite <2611 chaneph > , though <3588 kiy > he hath
gained <1214 batsa< > , when <3588 kiy > God < 0433 >elowahh >
taketh <7953 shalah > away <7953 shalah > his soul <5315 nephesh

: 9 Will God <0401 >Ukal > hear <8085 shama< > his cry <6818
tsa<aqah > when <3588 kiy > trouble <6869 tsarah > cometh <0935

: 10 Will he delight <6026 <anag > himself in the Almighty
<7706 Shadday > ? will he always call <7121 qara> > upon God
<0433 >elowahh > ?

: 11 . I will teach <3384 yarah > you by the hand < 3027 yad >
of God <0410 >el > : [ that ] which <0834 >aher > [ is ]
with the Almighty <7706 Shadday > will I not conceal < 3582

: 12 Behold <2005 hen > , all <3605 kol > ye yourselves have
seen <2372 chazah > [ it ] ; why <4100 mah > then are ye thus
<2088 zeh > altogether vain <1891 habal > ?

: 13 This <2088 zeh > [ is ] the portion <2506 cheleq > of a
wicked <7563 rasha< > man <0120 >adam > with God <0410 >el > ,
and the heritage <5159 nachalah > of oppressors <6184 <ariyts > ,
[ which ] they shall receive <3947 laqach > of the Almighty
<7706 Shadday > .

: 14 If <0518 >im > his children <1121 ben > be multiplied
<7235 rabah > , [ it is ] for the sword <2719 chereb > : and
his offspring <6631 tse>etsa> > shall not be satisfied <7646
saba< > with bread <3899 lechem > .

: 15 Those that remain <8300 sariyd > of him shall be buried
<6912 qabar > in death <4194 maveth > : and his widows <0490

: 16 Though <0518 >im > he heap <6651 tsabar > up silver <3701

raiment <4403 malbuwsh > as the clay <2563 chomer > ;

: 17 He may prepare <3559 kuwn > [ it ] , but the just <6662

innocent <5355 naqiy > shall divide <2505 chalaq > the silver
<3701 keceph > .

: 18 He buildeth <1129 banah > his house <1004 bayith > as a
moth <6211 <ash > , and as a booth <5521 cukkah > [ that ]
the keeper <5341 natsar > maketh <6213 <asah > .

: 19 The rich <6223 <ashiyr > man shall lie <7901 shakab > down
<7901 shakab > , but he shall not be gathered <0622 > acaph > :
he openeth <6491 paqach > his eyes <5869 <ayin > , and he [ is

: 20 Terrors <1091 ballahah > take <5381 nasag > hold <5381

<8175 sa<ar > him out of his place <4725 maqowm > .

: 22 For [ God ] shall cast <7993 shalak > upon him , and
not spare <2550 chamal > : he would fain <1272 barach > flee
<1272 barach > out of his hand <3027 yad > .

: Job 28

: 1 . Surely <3588 kiy > there is a vein <4161 mowtsa> > for
the silver <3701 keceph > , and a place <4725 maqowm > for gold
<2091 zahab > [ where ] they fine <2212 zaqaq > [ it ] .

earth <6083 <aphar > , and brass <5154 n@chuwshah > [ is ]
molten <6694 tsuwq > [ out of ] the stone <68> .

: 3 He setteth <7760 suwm > an end <7093 qets > to darkness

kol > perfection <8503 takliyth > : the stones <68> of darkness
<0652 >ophel > , and the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death
<6757 tsalmaveth > .

: 4 The flood <5158 nachal > breaketh <6555 parats > out from
the inhabitant <1481 guwr > ; [ even the waters ] forgotten
<7911 shakach > of the foot <7272 regel > : they are dried <1809

: 5 [ As for ] the earth <0776 >erets > , out of it cometh
<3318 yatsa> > bread <3899 lechem > : and under <8478 tachath >
it is turned <2015 haphak > up as it were fire <0784 > esh > .

: 6 The stones <68> of it [ are ] the place <4725 maqowm > of
sapphires <5601 cappiyr > : and it hath dust <6083 < aphar > of
gold <2091 zahab > .

: 7 [ There is ] a path <5410 nathiyb > which no < 3808 lo> >
fowl <5861 <ayit > knoweth <3045 yada< > , and which the
vulture s <0344 >ayah > eye <5869 <ayin > hath not seen <7805

trodden <1869 darak > it , nor <3808 lo> > the fierce <7826

: 9 He putteth <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > his hand
<3027 yad > upon the rock <2496 challamiysh > ; he overturneth
<2015 haphak > the mountains <2022 har > by the roots <8328

: 12 But where <0370 >aiyn > shall wisdom <2451 chokmah > be
found <4672 matsa> > ? and where [ is ] the place < 4725
maqowm > of understanding <0998 biynah > ?

: 13 Man <0582 >enowsh > knoweth <3045 yada< > not the price
<6187 <erek > thereof ; neither <3808 lo> > is it found <4672

: 14 . The depth <8415 t@howm > saith <0559 >amar > , It [

[ It is ] not with me .

: 15 It cannot <3808 lo> > be gotten <5414 nathan > for gold

: 16 It cannot <3808 lo> > be valued <5541 calah > with the
gold <3800 kethem > of Ophir <0211 >Owphiyr > , with the
precious <3368 yaqar > onyx <7718 shoham > , or the sapphire
<5601 cappiyr > .

: 17 The gold <2091 zahab > and the crystal <2137 z@kuwkiyth >
cannot <3808 lo> > equal <6186 <arak > it : and the exchange
<8545 t@muwrah > of it [ shall not be for ] jewels < 3627 k@liy

: 18 No <3808 lo> > mention <2142 zakar > shall be made of
coral <7215 ra>mah > , or of pearls <1378 gabiysh > : for the

rubies <6443 paniyn > .

<2451 chokmah > ? and where <0335 >ay > [ is ] the place
<4725 maqowm > of understanding <0998 biynah > ?

: 21 Seeing it is hid <5956 <alam > from the eyes < 5869 <ayin >
of all <3605 kol > living <2416 chay > , and kept <5641 cathar

: 22 Destruction <11> and death <4194 maveth > say <0559 >amar

thereof with our ears <0241 >ozen > .

: 23 God <0430 >elohiym > understandeth <0995 biyn > the way
<1870 derek > thereof , and he knoweth <3045 yada< > the place
<4725 maqowm > thereof .

: 24 For he looketh <5027 nabat > to the ends <7098 qatsah > of
the earth <0776 >erets > , [ and ] seeth <7200 ra>ah > under
<8478 tachath > the whole <3605 kol > heaven <8064 shamayim > ;

: 25 To make <6213 <asah > the weight <4948 mishqal > for the
winds <7307 ruwach > ; and he weigheth <8505 takan > the waters
<4325 mayim > by measure <4060 middah > .

: 26 When he made <6213 <asah > a decree <2706 choq > for the
rain <4306 matar > , and a way <1870 derek > for the lightning
<2385 chaziyz > of the thunder <6963 qowl > :

: 27 Then <0227 >az > did he see <7200 ra>ah > it , and
declare <5608 caphar > it ; he prepared <3559 kuwn > it , yea
<1571 gam > , and searched <2713 chaqar > it out .

: 28 And unto man <0120 >adam > he said <0559 > amar > , Behold
<2005 hen > , the fear <3374 yir>ah > of the Lord <0136 >Adonay

cuwr > from evil <7451 ra< > [ is ] understanding <0998 biynah

: Job 29

: 1 . Moreover Job <0347 >Iyowb > continued <3254 yacaph > his
parable <4912 mashal > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Oh that I were as [ in ] months <3391 yerach > past <6924
qedem > , as [ in ] the days <3117 yowm > [ when ] God
<0433 >elowahh > preserved <8104 shamar > me ;

: 3 When his candle <5216 niyr > shined <1984 halal > upon my
head <7218 ro>sh > , [ and when ] by his light < 0216 >owr > I
walked <3212 yalak > [ through ] darkness <2822 choshek > ;

: 4 As I was in the days <3117 yowm > of my youth <2779 choreph

] upon my tabernacle <0168 >ohel > ;

: 5 When <5750 <owd > the Almighty <7706 Shadday > [ was ]
yet <5750 <owd > with me , [ when ] my children < 5288 na<ar >
[ were ] about <5439 cabiyb > me ;

: 6 When I washed <7364 rachats > my steps <1978 haliyk > with
butter <2529 chem>ah > , and the rock <6697 tsuwr > poured
<6694 tsuwq > me out rivers <6388 peleg > of oil < 8081 shemen > ;


: 7 . When I went <3318 yatsa> > out to the gate < 8179 sha<ar
> through <5921 <al > the city <7176 qereth > , [ when ] I
prepared <3559 kuwn > my seat <4186 mowshab > in the street
<7339 r@chob > !

: 8 The young <5288 na<ar > men saw <7200 ra>ah > me , and hid
<2244> themselves : and the aged <2205 zaqen > arose <6965 quwm

: 9 The princes <8269 sar > refrained <6113 <atsar > talking
<4405 millah > , and laid <7760 suwm > [ their ] hand <3709
kaph > on their mouth <6310 peh > .

: 10 The nobles <5057 nagiyd > held <2244> their peace <6963
qowl > , and their tongue <3956 lashown > cleaved < 1692 dabaq >
to the roof <2441 chek > of their mouth <2441 chek > .

: 11 When <3588 kiy > the ear <0241 >ozen > heard <8085 shama<
> [ me ] , then it blessed <0833 >ashar > me ; and when the
eye <5869 <ayin > saw <7200 ra>ah > [ me ] , it gave witness
<5749 <uwd > to me :

: 12 Because <3588 kiy > I delivered <4422 malat > the poor
<6041 <aniy > that cried <7768 shava< > , and the fatherless
<3490 yathowm > , and [ him that had ] none <3808 lo> > to
help <5826 <azar > him .

: 13 The blessing <1293 B@rakah > of him that was ready to
perish <6> came <0935 bow> > upon me : and I caused the widow s
<0490 >almanah > heart <3820 leb > to sing < 7442 ranan > for joy
<7442 ranan > .

: 14 I put <3847 labash > on righteousness <6664 tsedeq > ,
and it clothed <3847 labash > me : my judgment <4941 mishpat >
[ was ] as a robe <4598 m@<iyl > and a diadem <6797 tsaniyph > .


: 15 I was eyes <5869 <ayin > to the blind <5787 < ivver > ,
and feet <7272 regel > [ was ] I to the lame <6455 picceach > .


: 16 I [ was ] a father <1> to the poor <34> : and the cause
<7379 riyb > [ which ] I knew <3045 yada< > not I searched
<2713 chaqar > out .

: 17 And I brake <7665 shabar > the jaws <4973 m@thall@<ah > of
the wicked <5767 <avval > , and plucked <7993 shalak > the
spoil <2964 tereph > out of his teeth <8127 shen > .

: 18 . Then I said <0559 >amar > , I shall die < 1478 gava< >
in my nest <7064 qen > , and I shall multiply <7235 rabah > [
my ] days <3117 yowm > as the sand <2344 chowl > .

: 19 My root <8328 sheresh > [ was ] spread <6605 pathach >
out by the waters <4325 mayim > , and the dew <2919 tal > lay
<3885 luwn > all <3885 luwn > night upon my branch <7105 qatsiyr

: 20 My glory <3519 kabowd > [ was ] fresh <2319 chadash > in
me , and my bow <7198 qesheth > was renewed <2498 chalaph > in
my hand <3027 yad > .

: 21 Unto me [ men ] gave ear <8085 shama< > , and waited
<3176 yachal > , and kept silence <1826 damam > at <3926 l@mow
> my counsel <6098 <etsah > .

: 22 After <0310 >achar > my words <1697 dabar > they spake not
again <3138 yowreh > ; and my speech <4405 millah > dropped
<5197 nataph > upon them .

: 23 And they waited <3176 yachal > for me as for the rain
<4306 matar > ; and they opened <6473 pa<ar > their mouth <6310
peh > wide [ as ] for the latter <4456 malqowsh > rain <4456
malqowsh > .

: 24 [ If ] I laughed <7832 sachaq > on <0413 >el > them ,
they believed <0539 >aman > [ it ] not ; and the light <0216
>owr > of my countenance <6440 paniym > they cast < 5307 naphal >
not down <5307 naphal > .

: 25 I chose <0977 bachar > out their way <1870 derek > , and
sat <3427 yashab > chief <7218 ro>sh > , and dwelt <7931 shakan

[ that ] comforteth <5162 nacham > the mourners <57> .

: Job 30

: 1 . But now <6258 <attah > [ they that are ] younger than
I have me in derision <7832 sachaq > , whose <0834 > aher >
fathers <1> I would have disdained <3988 ma>ac > to have set
<7896 shiyth > with the dogs <3611 keleb > of my flock <6629
tso>n > .

: 2 Yea <1571 gam > , whereto <4100 mah > [ might ] the
strength <3581 koach > of their hands <3027 yad > [ profit ]
me , in whom <5921 <al > old age <3624 kelach > was perished
<6> ?

: 3 For want <2639 checer > and famine <3720 kaphan > [ they
were ] solitary <1565 galmuwd > ; fleeing <6207 < araq > into
the wilderness <6723 tsiyah > in former <0570 >emesh > time
<0570 >emesh > desolate <7722 show> > and waste <4875 m@show>ah

: 4 Who cut <6998 qataph > up mallows <4408 malluwach > by the
bushes <7880 siyach > , and juniper <7574 rethem > roots <8328
sheresh > [ for ] their meat <3899 lechem > .

: 5 They were driven <1644 garash > forth from among < 1460 gev

them as [ after <5921 <al > ] a thief <1590 gannab > ; )

: 6 To dwell <7931 shakan > in the clifts <6178 < aruwts > of
the valleys <5158 nachal > , [ in ] caves <2356 chowr > of
the earth <6083 <aphar > , and [ in ] the rocks < 3710 keph > .


: 7 Among <0996 beyn > the bushes <7880 siyach > they brayed
<5101 nahaq > ; under <8478 tachath > the nettles <2738 charuwl
> they were gathered <5596 caphach > together .

: 8 [ They were ] children <1121 ben > of fools <5036 nabal >
, yea <1571 gam > , children <1121 ben > of base men : they
were viler <5217 naka> > than <4480 min > the earth <0776 >erets

: 9 And now <6258 <attah > am I their song <5058 n@giynah > ,
yea , I am their byword <4405 millah > .

: 10 They abhor <8581 ta<ab > me , they flee <7368 rachaq >
far <7350 rachowq > from me , and spare <2820 chasak > not to
spit <7536 roq > in my face <6440 paniym > .

: 11 Because <3588 kiy > he hath loosed <6605 pathach > my cord
<3499 yether > , and afflicted <6031 <anah > me , they have
also let loose <7971 shalach > the bridle <7448 recen > before
<6440 paniym > me .

: 12 Upon [ my ] right <3225 yamiyn > [ hand <3225 yamiyn >
] rise <6965 quwm > the youth <6526 pirchach > ; they push
<7971 shalach > away my feet <7272 regel > , and they raise
<5549 calal > up against <5921 <al > me the ways <0734 >orach >
of their destruction <0343 >eyd > .

: 13 They mar <5420 nathac > my path <5410 nathiyb > , they
set forward <3276 ya<al > my calamity <1942 havvah > , they
have no <3808 lo> > helper <5826 <azar > .

: 14 They came <0857 >athah > [ upon me ] as a wide <7342
rachab > breaking <6556 perets > in [ of waters ] : in the
desolation <7722 show> > they rolled <1556 galal > themselves [
upon me ] .

: 15 . Terrors <1091 ballahah > are turned <2015 haphak > upon
me : they pursue <7291 radaph > my soul <5082 n@diybah > as the
wind <7307 ruwach > : and my welfare <3444 y@shuw<ah > passeth
<5674 <abar > away as a cloud <5645 <ab > .

: 16 And now <6258 <attah > my soul <5315 nephesh > is poured
<8210 shaphak >out upon me ; the days <3117 yowm > of
affliction <6040 <oniy > have taken <0270 >achaz > hold <0270
>achaz > upon me .

: 17 My bones <6106 <etsem > are pierced <5365 naqar > in me in
the night <3915 layil > season : and my sinews <6207 < araq >
take <7901 shakab > no <3808 lo> > rest <7901 shakab > .

: 18 By the great <7227 rab > force <3581 koach > [ of my
disease ] is my garment <3830 l@buwsh > changed <2664 chaphas >
: it bindeth <0247 >azar > me about <0247 >azar > as the collar
<6310 peh > of my coat <3801 k@thoneth > .

: 19 He hath cast <3384 yarah > me into the mire <2563 chomer >
, and I am become <4911 mashal > like <4911 mashal > dust <6083
<aphar > and ashes <0665 >epher > .

: 20 I cry <7768 shava< > unto thee , and thou dost not hear
<6030 <anah > me : I stand <5975 <amad > up , and thou
regardest <0995 biyn > me [ not ] .

: 21 Thou art become <2015 haphak > cruel <0393 > akzar > to me :
with thy strong <6108 <otsem > hand <3027 yad > thou opposest
<7852 satam > thyself against me .

: 22 Thou liftest <5375 nasa> > me up to the wind < 7307 ruwach

dissolvest <4127 muwg > my substance <7738 shavah > .

: 23 For I know <3045 yada< > [ that ] thou wilt bring <7725
shuwb > me [ to ] death <4194 maveth > , and [ to ] the
house <1004 bayith > appointed <4150 mow<ed > for all <3605 kol

: 24 Howbeit he will not stretch <7971 shalach > out [ his ]
hand <3027 yad > to the grave <1164 b@<iy > , though <0518 >im

: 25 Did not I weep <1058 bakah > for him that was in trouble ?
was [ not ] my soul <5315 nephesh > grieved <5701 < agam > for
the poor <34> ?

: 26 When <3588 kiy > I looked <6960 qavah > for good <2896
towb > , then evil <7451 ra< > came <0935 bow> > [ unto me ] :
and when I waited <3176 yachal > for light <0216 > owr > ,
there came <0935 bow> > darkness <0652 >ophel > .

: 27 My bowels <4578 me<ah > boiled <7570 rathach > , and
rested <1826 damam > not : the days <3117 yowm > of affliction
<6040 <oniy > prevented <6923 qadam > me .

: 28 I went <1980 halak > mourning <6937 qadar > without <3808
lo> > the sun <2535 chammah > : I stood <6965 quwm > up , [
and ] I cried <7768 shava< > in the congregation < 6951 qahal > .


: 29 I am a brother <0251 >ach > to dragons <8577 tanniyn > ,
and a companion <7453 rea< > to owls .

: 30 My skin <5785 <owr > is black <7835 shachar > upon me ,
and my bones <6106 <etsem > are burned <2787 charar > with heat
<2721 choreb > .

: 31 My harp <3658 kinnowr > also is [ turned ] to mourning
<60> , and my organ <5748 <uwgab > into the voice <6963 qowl >
of them that weep <1058 bakah > .

: Job 31

: 1 . I made <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with
mine eyes <5869 <ayin > ; why <4100 mah > then should I think
<0995 biyn > upon a maid <1330 b@thuwlah > ?

: 2 For what <4100 mah > portion <2506 cheleq > of God <0433

what ] inheritance <5159 nachalah > of the Almighty < 7706
Shadday > from on high <4791 marowm > ?

: 3 [ Is ] not destruction <0343 >eyd > to the wicked <5767
<avval > ? and a strange <5235 neker > [ punishment ] to the
workers <6466 pa<al > of iniquity <0205 >aven > ?

: 4 Doth not he see <7200 ra>ah > my ways <1870 derek > , and
count <5608 caphar > all <3605 kol > my steps < 6806 tsa<ad > ?

: 5 If <0518 >im > I have walked <1980 halak > with vanity

balance <3976mo>zen > , that God <0433 >elowahh > may know
<3045 yada< > mine integrity <8538 tummah > .

: 7 If <0518 >im > my step <0838 >ashur > hath turned <5186

The words <1697 dabar > of Job <0347 >Iyowb > are ended <8552

: Job 32

: 1 . So these <0428 >el - leh > three <7969 shalowsh > men
<0582 >enowsh > ceased <7673 shabath > to answer <6030 <anah >
Job <0347 >Iyowb > , because <3588 kiy > he [ was ] righteous
<6662 tsaddiyq > in his own eyes <5869 <ayin > .

: 2 Then was kindled <2734 charah > the wrath <0639 > aph > of
Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > the son <1121 ben > of Barachel <1292
Barak>el > the Buzite <0940 Buwziy > , of the kindred <4940
mishpachah > of Ram <7410 Ram > : against Job <0347 >Iyowb > was
his wrath <0639 >aph > kindled <2734 charah > , because <5921
<al > he justified <6663 tsadaq > himself <5315 nephesh > rather
than <4480 min > God <0430 >elohiym > .

: 3 Also against his three <7969 shalowsh > friends < 7453 rea<

they had found <4672 matsa> > no <3808 lo> > answer <4617
ma<aneh > , and [ yet ] had condemned <7561 rasha< > Job
<0347 >Iyowb > .

: 4 Now Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > had waited <2442 chakah > till
Job <0347 >Iyowb > had spoken <1697 dabar > , because <3588 kiy

: 5 When Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > saw <7200 ra>ah > that [ there
was ] no <0369 >ayin > answer <4617 ma<aneh > in the mouth
<6310 peh > of [ these ] three <7969 shalowsh > men <0582
>enowsh > , then his wrath <0639 >aph > was kindled <2734
charah > .

: 6 . And Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > the son <1121 ben > of
Barachel <1292 Barak>el > the Buzite <0940 Buwziy > answered
<6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > , I [ am ] young , and
ye [ are ] very <3453 yashiysh > old <3453 yashiysh > ;
wherefore I was afraid <2119 zachal > , and durst <3372 yare> >
not shew <2331 chavah > you mine opinion <1843 dea< > .

: 7 I said <0559 >amar > , Days <3117 yowm > should speak
<1696 dabar > , and multitude <7230 rob > of years <8141 shaneh

: 8 But [ there is ] a spirit <7307 ruwach > in man < 0582
>enowsh > : and the inspiration <5397 n@shamah > of the Almighty
<7706 Shadday > giveth them understanding <0995 biyn > .

: 9 Great <7227 rab > men are not [ always ] wise < 2449
chakam > : neither do the aged <2205 zaqen > understand <0995
biyn > judgment <4941 mishpat > .

: 10 Therefore <3651 ken > I said <0559 >amar > , Hearken
<8085 shama< > to me ; I also <0637 >aph > will shew <2331
chavah > mine opinion <1843 dea< > .

: 11 Behold <2005 hen > , I waited <3176 yachal > for your
words <1697 dabar > ; I gave ear <0238 >azan > to your reasons
<8394 tabuwn > , whilst <5704 <ad > ye searched <2713 chaqar >
out what to say <4405 millah > .

: 12 Yea , I attended <0995 biyn > unto you , and , behold
<2009 hinneh > , [ there was ] none <0369 >ayin > of you that
convinced <3198 yakach > Job <0347 >Iyowb > , [ or ] that
answered <6030 <anah > his words <0561 >emer > :

: 13 Lest <6435 pen > ye should say <0559 >amar > , We have
found <4672 matsa> > out wisdom <2451 chokmah > : God <0410 >el

: 14 Now he hath not directed <6186 <arak > [ his ] words
<4405 millah > against <0413 >el > me : neither <3808 lo> > will
I answer <7725 shuwb > him with your speeches <0561 > emer > .

: 15 . They were amazed <2865 chathath > , they answered
<6030 <anah > no <3808 lo> > more <5750 < owd > : they left <6275
<athaq > off speaking <4405 millah > .

: 16 When I had waited <3176 yachal > , ( for they spake
<1696 dabar > not , but stood <5975 <amad > still <5975 <amad >
, [ and ] answered <6030 <anah > no <3808 lo> > more <5750
<owd > ; )

: 17 [ I said ] , I will answer <6030 <anah > also <0637

<2331 chavah > mine opinion <1843 dea< > .

: 18 For I am full <4390 male> > of matter <4405 millah > ,
the spirit <7307 ruwach > within <0990 beten > me constraineth
<6693 tsuwq > me .

: 19 Behold <2009 hinneh > , my belly <0990 beten > [ is ]
as wine <3196 yayin > [ which ] hath no <3808 lo> > vent <6605
pathach > ; it is ready to burst <1234 baqa< > like new <2319
chadash > bottles <0178 >owb > .

: 20 I will speak <1696 dabar > , that I may be refreshed
<7304 ravach > : I will open <6605 pathach > my lips <8193
saphah > and answer <6030 <anah > .

: 21 Let me not , I pray <4994 na> > you , accept < 5375 nasa>

lo> > let me give <1478 gava< > flattering < 3665 kana< > titles
unto man <0120 >adam > .

: 22 For I know <3045 yada< > not to give flattering <3665
kana< > titles ; [ in so doing ] my maker <6213 < asah > would
soon <4592 m@<at > take <5375 nasa> > me away .

: Job 33

: 1 . Wherefore <0199 >uwlam > , Job <0347 > Iyowb > , I pray
<4994 na> > thee , hear <8085 shama< > my speeches <4405 millah

: 2 Behold <2009 hinneh > , now <4994 na> > I have opened
<6605 pathach > my mouth <6310 peh > , my tongue < 3956 lashown

: 3 My words <0561 >emer > [ shall be of ] the uprightness
<3476 yosher > of my heart <3820 leb > : and my lips <8193
saphah > shall utter <4448 malal > knowledge <1847 da<ath >
clearly <1305 barar > .

: 4 The Spirit <7307 ruwach > of God <0410 >el > hath made
<6213 <asah > me , and the breath <5397 n@shamah > of the
Almighty <7706 Shadday > hath given me life <2421 chayah > .

: 5 If <0518 >im > thou canst <3201 yakol > answer <7725 shuwb

paniym > me , stand <3320 yatsab > up .

: 6 Behold <2005 hen > , I [ am ] according to thy wish
<6310 peh > in God s <0410 >el > stead : I also <1571 gam > am
formed <7169 qarats > out of the clay <2563 chomer > .

: 7 Behold <2009 hinneh > , my terror <0367 >eymah > shall not
make thee afraid <1204 ba<ath > , neither <3808 lo> > shall my
hand <0405 >ekeph > be heavy <3513 kabad > upon thee .

: 8 . Surely <0389 >ak > thou hast spoken <0559 > amar > in
mine hearing <0241 >ozen > , and I have heard <8085 shama< >
the voice <6963 qowl > of [ thy ] words <4405 millah > , [
saying ] ,

: 9 I am clean <2134 zak > without <1097 b@liy > transgression
<6588 pesha< > , I [ am ] innocent <2643 chaph > ; neither
<3808 lo> > [ is there ] iniquity <5771 <avon > in me .

: 10 Behold <2005 hen > , he findeth <4672 matsa> > occasions
<8569 t@nuw>ah > against <5921 <al > me , he counteth <2803
chashab > me for his enemy <0341 >oyeb > ,

: 11 He putteth <7760 suwm > my feet <7272 regel > in the
stocks <5465 cad > , he marketh <8104 shamar > all <3605 kol >
my paths <0734 >orach > .

: 12 Behold <2005 hen > , [ in ] this <2063 zo>th > thou art
not just <6663 tsadaq > : I will answer <6030 <anah > thee ,
that God <0433 >elowahh > is greater <7235 rabah > than man
<0582 >enowsh > .

: 13 Why <4069 madduwa< > dost thou strive <7378 riyb > against
<0413 >el > him ? for he giveth not account <6030 <anah > of
any <3605 kol > of his matters <1697 dabar > .

: 14 . For God <0410 >el > speaketh <1696 dabar > once <0259
>echad > , yea twice <8147 sh@nayim > , [ yet man ]
perceiveth <7789 shuwr > it not .

: 15 In a dream <2472 chalowm > , in a vision <2384 chizzayown

falleth <5307 naphal > upon men <0582 >enowsh > , in
slumberings <8572 t@nuwmah > upon the bed <4904 mishkab > ;

: 16 Then <0227 >az > he openeth <1540 galah > the ears <0241

their instruction <4561 mocar > ,

: 17 That he may withdraw <5493 cuwr > man <0120 > adam > [
from his ] purpose<4639 ma<aseh > , and hide <3680 kacah >
pride <1466 gevah > from man <1397 geber > .

: 18 He keepeth <2820 chasak > back <2820 chasak > his soul
<5315 nephesh > from the pit <7845 shachath > , and his life
<2416 chay > from perishing <5674 <abar > by the sword <7973

: 19 . He is chastened <3198 yakach > also with pain < 4341
mak>ob > upon his bed <4904 mishkab > , and the multitude <7379
riyb > of his bones <6106 <etsem > with strong < 0386 >eythan >
[ pain ] :

: 20 So that his life <2416 chay > abhorreth <2092 zaham >
bread <3899 lechem > , and his soul <5315 nephesh > dainty
<8378 ta>avah > meat <3978 ma>akal > .

: 21 His flesh <1320 basar > is consumed <3615 kalah > away ,
that it cannot<3808 lo> > be seen <7210 ro>iy > ; and his bones
<6106 <etsem > [ that ] were not seen <7200 ra> ah > stick
<8205 sh@phiy > out .

: 22 Yea , his soul <5315 nephesh > draweth near <7126 qarab >
unto the grave <7845 shachath > , and his life <2416 chay > to
the destroyers <4191 muwth > .

: 23 If <0518 >im > there be a messenger <4397 mal>ak > with

unto man <0120 >adam > his uprightness <3476 yosher > :

: 24 Then he is gracious <2603 chanan > unto him , and saith
<0559 >amar > , Deliver <6308 pada< > him from going <3381
yarad > down <3381 yarad > to the pit <7845 shachath > : I have
found <4672 matsa> > a ransom <3724 kopher > .

: 25 His flesh <1320 basar > shall be fresher <7375 ruwtaphash

to the days <3117 yowm > of his youth <5934 <aluwm > :

and he will be favourable <7520 ratsad > unto him : and he shall
see <7200 ra>ah > his face <6440 paniym > with joy <8643
t@ruw<ah > : for he will render <7725 shuwb > unto man <0582

: 27 He looketh <7789 shuwr > upon men <0582 >enowsh > , and
[ if any ] say <0559 >amar > , I have sinned <2398 chata> > ,
and perverted <5753 <avah > [ that which was ] right <3477
yashar > , and it profited <7737 shavah > me not ;

: 28 He will deliver <6299 padah > his soul <5315 nephesh >
from going <5674 <abar > into the pit <7845 shachath > , and
his life <2416 chay > shall see <7200 ra>ah > the light <0216

: 31 Mark <7181 qashab > well <7181 qashab > , O Job <0347

for I desire <2654 chaphets > to justify <6663 tsadaq > thee .

: 6 Should I lie <3576 kazab > against <5921 <al > my right
<4941 mishpat > ? my wound <2671 chets > [ is ] incurable
<0605 >anash > without <1097 b@liy > transgression <6588 pesha<

: 7 What <4310 miy > man <1397 geber > [ is ] like Job <0347
>Iyowb > , [ who ] drinketh <8354 shathah > up scorning <3933
la<ag > like water <4325 mayim > ?

: 8 Which goeth <0732 >arach > in company <2274 chebrah > with
the workers<6466 pa<al > of iniquity <0205 >aven > , and
walketh <3212 yalak > with wicked <7562 resha< > men <0582

: 9 For he hath said <0559 >amar > , It profiteth < 5532 cakan

<7521 ratsah > himself with God <0430 >elohiym > .

: 10 . Therefore <3651 ken > hearken <8085 shama< > unto me ,
ye men <0582 >enowsh > of understanding <3824 lebab > : far
<2486 chaliylah > be it from God <0410 >el > , [ that he
should do ] wickedness <7562 resha< > ; and [ from ] the
Almighty <7706 Shadday > , [ that he should commit ] iniquity
<5766 <evel > .

: 11 For the work <6467 po<al > of a man <0120 > adam > shall he
render <7999shalam > unto him , and cause every man < 0376 >iysh

: 12 Yea <0637 >aph > , surely <0551 >omnam > God <0410 >el >
will not do wickedly <7561 rasha< > , neither <3808 lo> > will
the Almighty <7706 Shadday > pervert <5791 <avath > judgment
<4941 mishpat > .

: 13 Who <4310 miy > hath given him a charge <6485 paqad > over
the earth <0776 >erets > ? or who <4310 miy > hath disposed
<7760 suwm > the whole <3605 kol > world <8398 tebel > ?

: 14 If <0518 >im > he set <7760 suwm > his heart <3820 leb >
upon man , [ if ] he gather <0622 >acaph > unto himself his
spirit <7307 ruwach > and his breath <5397 n@shamah > ;

: 15 All <3605 kol > flesh <1320 basar > shall perish <1478
gava< > together <3162 yachad > , and man <0120 >adam > shall
turn <7725 shuwb > again <7725 shuwb > unto dust < 6083 <aphar > .


: 16 . If <0518 >im > now [ thou hast ] understanding <0998
biynah > , hear <8085 shama< > this <2063 zo> th > : hearken
<0238 >azan > to the voice <6963 qowl > of my words <4405 millah

: 17 Shall even <0637 >aph > he that hateth <8130 sane> > right
<4941 mishpat > govern <2280 chabash > ? and wilt thou condemn
<7561 rasha< > him that is most <3524 kabbiyr > just <6662
tsaddiyq > ?

: 18 [ Is it fit ] to say <0559 >amar > to a king < 4428 melek

princes <5081 nadiyb > , [ Ye are ] ungodly <7563 rasha< > ?

: 19 [ How <0834 >aher > much less to him ] that accepteth
<5375 nasa> > not the persons <6440 paniym > of princes <8269
sar > , nor <3808 lo> > regardeth <5234 nakar > the rich <7771
showa< > more <6440 paniym > than <6440 paniym > the poor <1800
dal > ? for they all <3605 kol > [ are ] the work < 4639
ma<aseh > of his hands <3027 yad > .

: 20 In a moment <7281 rega< > shall they die <4191 muwth > ,
and the people <5971 <am > shall be troubled <1607 ga<ash > at
midnight , and pass <5674 <abar > away : and the mighty <47>
shall be taken <5493 cuwr > away <5493 cuwr > without <3808 lo>

: 21 For his eyes <5869 <ayin > [ are ] upon the ways <1870
derek > of man <0376 >iysh > , and he seeth <7200 ra>ah > all
<3605 kol > his goings <6806 tsa<ad > .

: 22 [ There is ] no <0369 >ayin > darkness <2822 choshek > ,
nor <0369 >ayin > shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757
tsalmaveth > , where <8033 sham > the workers <6466 pa<al > of
iniquity <0205 >aven > may hide <5641 cathar > themselves .

: 23 For he will not lay <7760 suwm > upon man <0376 >iysh >
more <5750 <owd > [ than right <4941 mishpat > ] ; that he
should enter <1980 halak > into judgment <4941 mishpat > with
God <0410 >el > .

: 24 He shall break <7489 ra<a< > in pieces mighty <3524
kabbiyr > men without <3808 lo> > number <2714 cheqer > , and
set <5975 <amad > others <0312 >acher > in their stead <8478

: 25 Therefore <3651 ken > he knoweth <5234 nakar > their works
<4566 ma<bad > , and he overturneth <2015 haphak > [ them ]
in the night <3915 layil > , so that they are destroyed <1792

: 26 He striketh <5606 caphaq > them as wicked <7563 rasha< >
men in the open <4725 maqowm > sight <7200 ra>ah > of others ;

: 27 Because they turned <5493 cuwr > back <5493 cuwr > from
him , and would not consider <7919 sakal > any <3605 kol > of
his ways <1870 derek > :

: 28 So that they cause the cry <6818 tsa<aqah > of the poor
<1800 dal > to come <0935 bow> > unto him , and he heareth
<8085 shama< > the cry <6818 tsa<aqah > of the afflicted <6041
<aniy > .

: 29 When he giveth quietness <8252 shaqat > , who < 4310 miy >
then can make trouble <7561 rasha< > ? and when he hideth <5641
cathar > [ his ] face <6440 paniym > , who <4310 miy > then
can behold <7789 shuwr > him ? whether [ it be done ] against
<5921 <al > a nation <1471 gowy > , or against <5921 <al > a
man <0120 >adam > only <3162 yachad > :

: 30 That the hypocrite <2611 chaneph > reign <4427 malak > not
, lest the people <5971 <am > be ensnared <4170 mowqesh > .

: 31 . Surely <3588 kiy > it is meet to be said <0559 >amar >
unto God <0410 >el > , I have borne <5375 nasa> > [
chastisement ] , I will not offend <2254 chabal > [ any more

: 32 [ That which ] I see <2372 chazah > not teach < 3384

iniquity <5766 <evel > , I will do <6466 pa<al > no <3808 lo> >

: 33 [ Should it be ] according to thy mind <5973 <im > ? he
will recompense <7999 shalam > it , whether <3588 kiy > thou
refuse <3988 ma>ac > , or whether <3588 kiy > thou choose <0977
bachar > ; and not I : therefore speak <1696 dabar > what <4100

: 34 Let men <0582 >enowsh > of understanding <3824 lebab >
tell <0559 >amar > me , and let a wise <2450 chakam > man <1397
geber > hearken <8085 shama< > unto me .

: 35 Job <0347 >Iyowb > hath spoken <1696 dabar > without <3808
lo> > knowledge <1847 da<ath > , and his words <1697 dabar > [
were ] without <3808 lo> > wisdom <7919 sakal > .

: 36 My desire <15> [ is that ] Job <0347 >Iyowb > may be
tried <0974 bachan > unto the end <5331 netsach > because <5921
<al > of [ his ] answers <8666 t@shuwbah > for wicked <0205

: 37 For he addeth <3254 yacaph > rebellion <6588 pesha< > unto
his sin <2403 chatta>ah > , he clappeth <5606 caphaq > [ his
hands ] among <0996 beyn > us , and multiplieth <7235 rabah >
his words <0561 >emer > against God <0410 >el > .

: Job 35

: 1 . Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > spake <6030 <anah > moreover ,
and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Thinkest <2803 chashab > thou this <2063 zo>th > to be
right <4941 mishpat > , [ that ] thou saidst <0559 >amar > ,
My righteousness <6664 tsedeq > [ is ] more <3254 yacaph >
than God s <0410 >el > ?

: 3 For thou saidst <0559 >amar > , What <4100 mah > advantage
<5532 cakan > will it be unto thee ? [ and ] , What < 4100
mah > profit <3276 ya<al > shall I have , [ if I be cleansed ]
from my sin <2403 chatta>ah > ?

: 4 I will answer <4405 millah > thee , and thy companions
<7453 rea< > with thee .

: 5 Look <5027 nabat > unto the heavens <8064 shamayim > , and
see <7200 ra>ah > ; and behold <7789 shuwr > the clouds <7834
shachaq > [ which <0834 >aher > ] are higher < 1361 gabahh >
than thou .

: 6 If <0518 >im > thou sinnest <2398 chata> > , what <4100
mah > doest <6466 pa<al > thou against him ? or [ if ] thy
transgressions <6588 pesha< > be multiplied <7231 rabab > ,
what <4100 mah > doest <6213 <asah > thou unto him ?

: 7 If <0518 >im > thou be righteous <6663 tsadaq > , what
<4100 mah > givest<5414 nathan > thou him ? or < 0176 >ow > what
<4100 mah > receiveth <3947 laqach > he of thine hand <3027 yad

: 8 Thy wickedness <7562 resha< > [ may hurt ] a man <0376

ts@daqah > [ may profit ] the son <1121 ben > of man <0120

: 9 . By reason of the multitude <7230 rob > of oppressions
<6217 <ashuwq > they make [ the oppressed ] to cry < 2199 za<aq

z@rowa< > of the mighty <7227 rab > .

: 10 But none <3808 lo> > saith <0559 >amar > , Where <0335

who giveth <5414 nathan > songs <2158 zamiyr > in the night
<3915 layil > ;

: 11 Who teacheth <0502 >alph > us more than the beasts <0929
b@hemah > of the earth <0776 >erets > , and maketh us wiser
<2449 chakam > than the fowls <5775 <owph > of heaven <8064
shamayim > ?

: 12 There <8033 sham > they cry <6817 tsa<aq > , but none
<3808 lo> > giveth answer <6030 <anah > , because <6440 paniym

: 13 Surely <0389 >ak > God <0410 >el > will not hear <8085
shama< > vanity <7723 shav> > , neither <3808 lo> > will the
Almighty <7706 Shadday > regard <7789 shuwr > it .

: 14 . Although thou sayest <0559 >amar > thou shalt not see
<7789 shuwr > him , [ yet ] judgment <1779 diyn > [ is ]
before <6440 paniym > him ; therefore trust <2342 chuwl > thou
in him .

: 15 But now <6258 <attah > , because <3588 kiy > [ it is ]
not [ so ] , he hath visited <6485 paqad > in his anger <0639
>aph > ; yet he knoweth <3045 yada< > [ it ] not in great
<3966 m@<od > extremity <6580 pash > :

: 16 Therefore doth Job <0347 >Iyowb > open <6475 patsah > his
mouth <6310 peh > in vain <1892 hebel > ; he multiplieth <3527
kabar > words <4405 millah > without <1097 b@liy > knowledge
<1847 da<ath > .

: Job 36

: 1 . Elihu <0453 >Eliyhuw > also proceeded <3254 yacaph > ,
and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 Suffer <3803 kathar > me a little <2191 ze<eyr > , and I
will shew <2331 chavah > thee that [ I have ] yet < 5750 <owd >
to speak <4405 millah > on God s <0433 >elowahh > behalf .

: 3 I will fetch <5375 nasa> > my knowledge <1843 dea< > from
afar <7350 rachowq > , and will ascribe <5414 nathan >
righteousness <6664 tsedeq > to my Maker <6466 pa<al > .

: 4 For truly <0551 >omnam > my words <4405 millah > [ shall ]
not [ be ] false <8267 sheqer > : he that is perfect < 8549
tamiym > in knowledge <1844 de<ah > [ is ] with thee .

: 5 . Behold <2005 hen > , God <0410 >el > [ is ] mighty
<3524 kabbiyr > , and despiseth <3988 ma>ac > not [ any : he
is ] mighty <3524 kabbiyr > in strength <3581 koach > [ and ]
wisdom <3820 leb > .

: 6 He preserveth <2421 chayah > not the life <2421 chayah > of
the wicked <7563 rasha< > : but giveth <5414 nathan > right
<4941 mishpat > to the poor <6041 <aniy > .

: 7 He withdraweth <1639 gara< > not his eyes <5869 <ayin >
from the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > : but with kings < 4428 melek
> [ are they ] on the throne <3678 kicce> > ; yea , he doth
establish <3427 yashab > them for ever <5331 netsach > , and
they are exalted <1361 gabahh > .

: 8 And if <0518 >im > [ they be ] bound <0631 > acar > in
fetters <2131 ziyqah > , [ and ] be holden <3920 lakad > in
cords <2256 chebel > of affliction <6040 <oniy > ;

: 9 Then he sheweth <5046 nagad > them their work <6467 po<al >
, and their transgressions <6588 pesha< > that they have
exceeded <1396 gabar > .

: 10 He openeth <1540 galah > also their ear <0241 > ozen > to
discipline <4148 muwcar > , and commandeth <0559 > amar > that
they return <7725 shuwb > from iniquity <0205 >aven > .

: 11 If <0518 >im > they obey <8085 shama< > and serve <5647
<abad > [ him ] , they shall spend <3615 kalah > their days
<3117 yowm > in prosperity <2896 towb > , and their years <8141
shaneh > in pleasures <5273 na<iym > .

: 12 But if <0518 >im > they obey <8085 shama< > not , they
shall perish <5674 <abar > by the sword <7973 shelach > , and
they shall die <1478 gava< > without <1097 b@liy > knowledge
<1847 da<ath > .

: 13 But the hypocrites <2611 chaneph > in heart <3820 leb >
heap <7760 suwm > up wrath <0639 >aph > : they cry <7768 shava<
> not when <3588 kiy > he bindeth <0631 >acar > them .

: 14 They die <4191 muwth > in youth <5290 no<ar > , and their
life <2416 chay > [ is ] among the unclean <6945 qadesh > .

: 15 . He delivereth <2502 chalats > the poor <6041 <aniy > in
his affliction <6040 <oniy > , and openeth <1540 galah > their
ears <0241 >ozen > in oppression <3906 lachats > .

: 16 Even so would he have removed <5493 cuwr > thee out of the
strait <6862 tsar > [ into ] a broad <7338 rachab > place ,
where [ there is ] no <3808 lo> > straitness <4164 muwtsaq > ;
and that which should be set <5183 Nachath > on thy table <7979
shulchan > [ should be ] full <4390 male> > of fatness <1880
deshen > .

: 17 But thou hast fulfilled <4390 male> > the judgment <1779
diyn > of the wicked <7563 rasha< > : judgment < 1779 diyn > and
justice <4941 mishpat > take <8551 tamak > hold < 8551 tamak > [
on thee ] .

: 18 Because <3588 kiy > [ there is ] wrath <2534 chemah > ,
[ beware ] lest <6435 pen > he take <5496 cuwth > thee away
<5496 cuwth > with [ his ] stroke <5607 cepheq > : then a
great <7227 rab > ransom <3724 kopher > cannot < 3808 lo> >
deliver <5186 natah > thee .

: 19 Will he esteem <6186 <arak > thy riches <7769 shuwa< > ?
[ no <3808 lo> > ] , not gold <1222 b@tsar > , nor <3808 lo>

: 20 Desire <7602 sha>aph > not the night <3915 layil > , when
people <5971 <am > are cut <5927 <alah > off in their place
<8478 tachath > .

: 21 Take heed <8104 shamar > , regard <6437 panah > not
iniquity <0205 >aven > : for this <2088 zeh > hast thou chosen
<0970 bachuwr > rather than affliction <6040 <oniy > .

: 22 Behold <2005 hen > , God <0410 >el > exalteth <7682 sagab

yarah > like <3644 k@mow > him ?

: 23 Who <4310 miy > hath enjoined <6485 paqad > him his way
<1870 derek > ? orwho <4310 miy > can say <0559 >amar > , Thou
hast wrought <6466 pa<al > iniquity <5766 <evel > ?

: 24 . Remember <2142 zakar > that thou magnify <7679 saga> >
his work <6467 po<al > , which <0834 >aher > men <0582 >enowsh

: 25 Every <3605 kol > man <0120 >adam > may see <2372 chazah >
it ; man <0582 >enowsh > may behold <5027 nabat > [ it ] afar
<7350 rachowq > off .

: 26 Behold <2005 hen > , God <0410 >el > [ is ] great <7689
saggiy> > , and we know <3045 yada< > [ him ] not , neither
<3808 lo> > can the number <4557 micpar > of his years <8141
shaneh > be searched <2714 cheqer > out .

: 27 For he maketh small <1639 gara< > the drops < 5197 nataph >
of water <4325 mayim > : they pour <2212 zaqaq > down rain <4306
matar > according to the vapour <0108 >ed > thereof :

: 28 Which <0834 >aher > the clouds <7834 shachaq > do drop
<5140 nazal > [ and ] distil <7491 ra<aph > upon man <0120

: 29 Also <0637 >aph > can [ any ] understand < 0995 biyn >
the spreadings <4666 miphras > of the clouds <5645 < ab > , [
or ] the noise <8663 t@shu>ah > of his tabernacle < 5521 cukkah

: 30 Behold <2005 hen > , he spreadeth <6566 paras > his light
<0216 >owr > upon it , and covereth <3680 kacah > the bottom
<8328 sheresh > of the sea <3220 yam > .

: 31 For by them judgeth <1777 diyn > he the people < 5971 <am >
; he giveth <5414 nathan > meat <0400 >okel > in abundance
<4342 makbiyr > .

: 32 With clouds <3709 kaph > he covereth <3680 kacah > the
light <0216 >owr > ; and commandeth <6680 tsavah > it [ not to
shine ] by [ the cloud ] that cometh <6293 paga< > betwixt
<6293 paga< > .

: 33 The noise <7452 rea< > thereof sheweth <5046 nagad >
concerning <5921 <al > it , the cattle <4735 miqneh > also
<0637 >aph > concerning <5921 <al > the vapour <5927 <alah > .

out of his place <4725 maqowm > .

: 2 Hear <8085 shama< > attentively <8085 shama< > the noise
<7267 rogez > ofhis voice <6963 qowl > , and the sound <1899
hegeh > [ that ] goeth <3318 yatsa> > out of his mouth <6310

: 3 He directeth <3474 yashar > it under <8478 tachath > the
whole <3605 kol > heaven <8064 shamayim > , and his lightning
<0216 >owr > unto the ends <3671 kanaph > of the earth <0776

: 4 After <0310 >achar > it a voice <6963 qowl > roareth <7580

<aqab > them when <3588 kiy > his voice <6963 qowl > is heard
<8085 shama< > .

: 5 God <0410 >el > thundereth <7481 ra<am > marvellously <6381
pala> > with his voice <6963 qowl > ; great <1419 gadowl >
things doeth <6213 <asah > he , which we cannot < 0408 >al >
comprehend <3045 yada< > .

: 6 . For he saith <0559 >amar > to the snow <7950 sheleg > ,
Be thou [ on ] the earth <0776 >erets > ; likewise to the
small rain <1653 geshem > , and to the great <4306 matar > rain
<1653 geshem > of his strength <5797 <oz > .

: 7 He sealeth <2856 chatham > up the hand <3027 yad > of every
<3605 kol > man <0120 >adam > ; that all <3605 kol > men <0582
>enowsh > may know <3045 yada< > his work <4639 ma<aseh > .

: 8 Then the beasts <2416 chay > go <0935 bow> > into <1119
b@mow > dens <0695 >ereb > , and remain <7931 shakan > in their
places <4585 m@<ownah > .

: 9 Out of the south <2315 cheder > cometh <0935 bow> > the
whirlwind <5492 cuwphah > : and cold <7135 qarah > out of the
north <4215 m@zareh > .

: 10 By the breath <5397 n@shamah > of God <0410 >el > frost
<7140 qerach > is given <5414 nathan > : and the breadth <7341

na> > like a man <1397 geber > : I will demand < 7592 sha>al > of
thee , and declare <3045 yada< > thou unto me .

: 8 Wilt thou also <0637 >aph > disannul <6565 parar > my
judgment <4941 mishpat > ? wilt thou condemn <7561 rasha< > me ,
that thou mayest be righteous <6663 tsadaq > ?

: 9 Hast thou an arm <2220 z@rowa< > like God <0410 >el > ? or
canst thou thunder <7481 ra<am > with a voice <6963 qowl > like
<3644 k@mow > him ?

: 10 Deck <5710 <adah > thyself now <4994 na> > [ with ]
majesty <1347 ga>own > and excellency <1363 gobahh > ; and
array <3847 labash > thyself with glory <1935 howd > and beauty
<1926 hadar > .

: 11 Cast <6327 puwts > abroad <6327 puwts > the rage <5678
<ebrah > of thy wrath <0639 >aph > : and behold <7200 ra>ah >
every <3605 kol > one [ that is ] proud <1343 ge>eh > , and
abase <8213 shaphel > him .

: 12 Look <7200 ra>ah > on every <3605 kol > one [ that is ]
proud <1343 ge>eh > , [ and ] bring <3665 kana< > him low
<3665 kana< > ; and tread <1915 hadak > down the wicked <7563
rasha< > in their place <8478 tachath > .

: 13 Hide <2934 taman > them in the dust <6083 < aphar >
together <3162 yachad > ; [ and ] bind <2280 chabash > their
faces <6440 paniym > in secret <2934 taman > .

: 14 Then will I also <1571 gam > confess <3034 yadah > unto
thee that thine own right <3225 yamiyn > hand <3225 yamiyn > can
save <3467 yasha< > thee .

: 15 . Behold <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > behemoth <0930
b@hemowth > , which <0834 >aher > I made <6213 <asah > with
thee ; he eateth <0398 >akal > grass <2682 chatsiyr > as an ox
<1241 baqar > .

: 16 Lo <2009 hinneh > now <4994 na> > , his strength <3581
koach > [ is ] in his loins <4975 mothen > , and his force
<0202 >own > [ is ] in the navel <8306 shariyr > of his belly
<0990 beten > .

: 17 He moveth <2654 chaphets > his tail <2180 zanab > like
<3644 k@mow > a cedar <0730 >erez > : the sinews <1517 giyd > of
his stones <6344 pachad > are wrapped <8276 sarag > together .

: 18 His bones <6106 <etsem > [ are as ] strong < 0650 >aphiyq
> pieces of brass <5154 n@chuwshah > ; his bones < 1634 gerem >
[ are ] like bars <4800 merchab > of iron <1270 barzel > .

: 19 He [ is ] the chief <7725 shuwb > of the ways < 1870
derek > of God <0410 >el > : he that made <6213 <asah > him can
make his sword <2719 chereb > to approach <5066 nagash > [ unto
him ] .

: 20 Surely <3588 kiy > the mountains <2022 har > bring <5375
nasa> > him forth food <0944 buwl > , where <8033 sham > all
<3605 kol > the beasts <2416 chay > of the field < 7704 sadeh >
play <7832 sachaq > .

: 21 He lieth <7901 shakab > under <8478 tachath > the shady
<6628 tse>el > trees , in the covert <5643 cether > of the reed
<7070 qaneh > , and fens <1207 bitstsah > .

: 22 The shady <6628 tse>el > trees cover <5526 cakak > him [
with ] their shadow <6752 tselel > ; the willows <6155 <arab >
of the brook <5158 nachal > compass <5437 cabab > him about .

: 23 Behold <2005 hen > , he drinketh <6231 <ashaq > up a
river <5104 nahar > , [ and ] hasteth <2648 chaphaz > not :
he trusteth <0982 batach > that he can draw <1518 giyach > up
Jordan <3383 Yarden > into <0413 >el > his mouth <6310 peh > .

: 24 He taketh <3947 laqach > it with his eyes <5869 <ayin > :
[ his ] nose <0639 >aph > pierceth <5344 naqab > through snares
<4170 mowqesh > .

: Job 41

: 1 . Canst thou draw <4900 mashak > out leviathan < 3882
livyathan > with an hook <0100 >agmown > ? or his tongue <3956
lashown > with a cord <2256 chebel > [ which ] thou lettest
<8257 shaqa< > down <8257 shaqa< > ?

: 2 Canst thou put <7760 suwm > an hook <2443 chakkah > into
his nose <0639 >aph > ? or bore <5344 naqab > his jaw <3895
l@chiy > through with a thorn <2336 chowach > ?

: 3 Will he make many <7235 rabah > supplications <8469
tachanuwn > unto thee ? will he speak <1696 dabar > soft <7390
rak > [ words ] unto thee ?

: 4 Will he make <3772 karath > a covenant <1285 b@riyth > with
thee ? wilt thou take <3947 laqach > him for a servant < 5650
<ebed > for ever <5769 <owlam > ?

: 5 Wilt thou play <7832 sachaq > with him as [ with ] a bird
<6833 tsippowr > ? or wilt thou bind <7194 qashar > him for thy
maidens <5291 na<arah > ?

: 6 Shall the companions <2271 chabbar > make a banquet <3738
karah > of him ? shall they part <2673 chatsah > him among
<0996 beyn > the merchants <3669 K@na<aniy > ?

: 7 Canst thou fill <4390 male> > his skin <5785 < owr > with
barbed <7905 sukkah > irons <7905 sukkah > ? or his head <7218
ro>sh > with fish <1709 dag > spears <6767 ts@latsal > ?

: 8 Lay <7760 suwm > thine hand <3709 kaph > upon him ,
remember <2142 zakar > the battle <4421 milchamah > , do no
<0408 >al > more <3254 yacaph > .

: 9 Behold <2005 hen > , the hope <8431 towcheleth > of him is
in vain <3576 kazab > : shall not [ one ] be cast < 2904 tuwl >
down <2904 tuwl > even <1571 gam > at the sight < 4758 mar>eh >
of him ?

: 10 None <3808 lo> > [ is so ] fierce <0393 > akzar > that
dare stir <5782 <uwr > him up : who <4310 miy > then is able to
stand <3320 yatsab > before <6440 paniym > me ?

: 11 . Who <4310 miy > hath prevented <6923 qadam > me , that
I should repay <7999 shalam > [ him ? whatsoever is ] under
<8478 tachath > the whole <3605 kol > heaven <8064 shamayim > is
mine .

: 12 I will not conceal <2790 charash > his parts <0905 bad > ,
nor his power <1369 g@buwrah > , nor his comely <2433 chiyn >
proportion <6187 <erek > .

: 13 Who <4310 miy > can discover <1540 galah > the face <6440
paniym > of his garment <3830 l@buwsh > ? [ or ] who <4310
miy > can come <0935 bow> > [ to him ] with his double <3718
kephel > bridle <7448 recen > ?

: 14 Who <4310 miy > can open <6605 pathach > the doors <1817
deleth > of his face <6440 paniym > ? his teeth < 8127 shen > [
are ] terrible <0367 >eymah > round <5439 cabiyb > about .

: 15 [ His ] scales [ are his ] pride <1346 ga<avah > ,
shut <5462 cagar > up together [ as with ] a close < 6862 tsar
> seal <2368 chowtham > .

: 16 One <0259 >echad > is so near <5066 nagash > to another
<0259 >echad > , that no <3908 lachash > air < 7307 ruwach > can
come <0935 bow> > between <0996 beyn > them .

: 17 They are joined <1692 dabaq > one <0376 >iysh > to another
<0250 >Ezrachiy > , they stick <3920 lakad > together , that
they cannot <3808 lo> > be sundered <6504 parad > .

: 18 By his neesings <5846 <atiyshah > a light <0216 >owr >
doth shine <1984 halal > , and his eyes <5869 <ayin > [ are ]
like the eyelids <6079 <aph<aph > of the morning < 7837 shachar >
.

: 19 Out of his mouth <6310 peh > go <1980 halak > burning
<3940 lappiyd > lamps <3940 lappiyd > , [ and ] sparks <3590
kiydowd > of fire <0784 >esh > leap <4422 malat > out .

: 20 Out of his nostrils <5156 n@chiyr > goeth <3318 yatsa> >
smoke <6227 <ashan > , as [ out ] of a seething < 5301 naphach
> pot <1731 duwd > or caldron <0100 >agmown > .

: 21 His breath <5315 nephesh > kindleth <3857 lahat > coals
<1513 gechel > , and a flame <3851 lahab > goeth < 3318 yatsa> >
out of his mouth <6310 peh > .

: 22 In his neck <6677 tsavva>r > remaineth <3885 luwn >
strength <5797 <oz > , and sorrow <1670 d@>abah > is turned
<1750 duwts > into joy before <6440 paniym > him .

: 23 The flakes <4651 mappal > of his flesh <1320 basar > are
joined <1692 dabaq > together : they are firm <3332 yatsaq > in
themselves ; they cannot <1077 bal > be moved <4131 mowt > .

: 24 His heart <3820 leb > is as firm <3332 yatsaq > as a stone
<68> ; yea , as hard <3332 yatsaq > as a piece < 6400 pelach >
of the nether <8482 tachtiy > [ millstone ] .

: 25 When he raiseth <7613 s@>eth > up himself , the mighty
<0410 >el > are afraid <1481 guwr > : by reason of breakings
<7667 sheber > they purify <2398 chata> > themselves .

: 26 The sword <2719 chereb > of him that layeth <5381 nasag >
at him cannot <1097 b@liy > hold <6965 quwm > : the spear <2595
chaniyth > , the dart <4551 macca< > , nor the habergeon <8302
shiryown > .

: 27 He esteemeth <2803 chashab > iron <1270 barzel > as straw
<8401 teben > , [ and ] brass <5154 n@chuwshah > as rotten
<7539 riqqabown > wood <6086 <ets > .

: 28 The arrow cannot <3808 lo> > make him flee < 1272 barach > :
slingstonesare turned <2015 haphak > with him into stubble
<7179 qash > .

: 29 Darts <8455 towthach > are counted <2803 chashab > as
stubble <7179 qash > : he laugheth <7832 sachaq > at the shaking
<7494 ra<ash > of a spear <3591 kiydown > .

: 30 Sharp <2303 chadduwd > stones <2789 cheres > [ are ]
under <8478 tachath > him : he spreadeth <7502 raphad > sharp
<2742 charuwts > pointed <2742 charuwts > things upon the mire
<2916 tiyt > .

: 31 He maketh the deep <4688 m@tsowlah > to boil <7570 rathach
> like a pot <5518 ciyr > : he maketh <7760 suwm > the sea <3220
yam > like a pot of ointment <4841 merqachah > .

: 32 He maketh a path <5410 nathiyb > to shine <0215 >owr >
after <0310 >achar > him ; [ one ] would think < 2803 chashab
> the deep <8415 t@howm > [ to be ] hoary <7872 seybah > .

: 33 Upon earth <6083 <aphar > there is not his like <4915
moshel > , who is made <6213 <asah > without < 1097 b@liy > fear
<2844 chath > .

: 34 He beholdeth <7200 ra>ah > all <3605 kol > high <1364
gaboahh > [ things ] : he [ is ] a king <4428 melek > over
<5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the children <1121 ben > of pride
<7830 shachats > .

: Job 42

: 1 . Then Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 < anah > the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > ,

: 2 I know <3045 yada< > that thou canst <3201 yakol > do every
<3605 kol > [ thing ] , and [ that ] no <3908 lachash >
thought <4209 m@zimmah > can be withholden <1219 batsar > from
thee .

: 3 Who <4310 miy > [ is ] he that hideth <5956 < alam >
counsel <6098 <etsah > without <1097 b@liy > knowledge <1847
da<ath > ? therefore <3651 ken > have I uttered < 5046 nagad >
that I understood <0995 biyn > not ; things too wonderful <6381
pala> > for me , which I knew <3045 yada< > not .

: 4 Hear <8085 shama< > , I beseech <4994 na> > thee , and I
will speak <1696 dabar > : I will demand <7592 sha>al > of thee ,
and declare <3045 yada< > thou unto me .

: 5 I have heard <8085 shama< > of thee by the hearing <8088
shema< > of the ear <0241 >ozen > : but now < 6258 <attah > mine
eye <5869 <ayin > seeth <7200 ra>ah > thee .

: 6 Wherefore I abhor <3988 ma>ac > [ myself ] , and repent
<5162 nacham > in dust <6083 <aphar > and ashes <0665 >epher > .

: 7 . And it was [ so ] , that after <0310 >achar > the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had spoken <1696 dabar > these <0428 >el -
leh > words <1697 dabar > unto Job <0347 >Iyowb > , the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > to Eliphaz < 0464 >Eliyphaz >
the Temanite <8489 Teymaniy > , My wrath <0639 >aph > is
kindled <2734 charah > against thee , and against thy two <8147
sh@nayim > friends <7453 rea< > : for ye have not spoken <1696
dabar > of me [ the thing that is ] right <3559 kuwn > , as
my servant <5650 <ebed > Job <0347 >Iyowb > [ hath ] .

: 8 Therefore take <3947 laqach > unto you now <6258 <attah >
seven <7651 sheba< > bullocks <6499 par > and seven <7651 sheba<
> rams <0352 >ayil > , and go <3212 yalak > to my servant <5650
<ebed > Job <0347 >Iyowb > , and offer <5927 <alah > up for
yourselves a burnt <5930 <olah > offering ; and my servant
<5650 <ebed > Job <0347 >Iyowb > shall pray < 6419 palal > for
you : for him will I accept <5375 nasa> > : lest < 1115 biltiy >
I deal <6213 <asah > with you [ after <0310 > achar > your ]
folly <5039 n@balah > , in that ye have not spoken < 1696 dabar
> of me [ the thing which is ] right <3559 kuwn > , like my
servant <5650 <ebed > Job <0347 >Iyowb > .

: 9 So Eliphaz <0464 >Eliyphaz > the Temanite <8489 Teymaniy >
and Bildad <1085 Bildad > the Shuhite <7747 Shuchiy > [ and ]
Zophar <6691 Tsowphar > the Naamathite <5284 Na< amathiy > went
<3212 yalak > , and did <6213 <asah > according as the LORD
<3068 Y@hovah > commanded <1696 dabar > them : the LORD <3068
Y@hovah > also accepted <5375 nasa> > Job <0347 >Iyowb > .

: 10 . And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > turned <7725 shuwb > the
captivity <7622 sh@buwth > of Job <0347 >Iyowb > , when he
prayed <6419 palal > for his friends <7453 rea< > : also the
LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <3254 yacaph > Job <0347 >Iyowb >
twice <4932 mishneh > as much <0634 >Ecar - Chaddown > as he had
before .

: 11 Then came <0935 bow> > there unto him all <3605 kol > his
brethren <0251 >ach > , and all <3605 kol > his sisters <0269
>achowth > , and all <3605 kol > they that had been of his
acquaintance <3045 yada< > before <6440 paniym > , and did eat
<0398 >akal > bread <3899 lechem > with him in his house <1004
bayith > : and they bemoaned <5110 nuwd > him , and comforted
<5162 nacham > him over <5921 <al > all <3605 kol > the evil
<7451 ra< > that the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > had brought <0935 bow>
> upon him : every man <0376 >iysh > also gave < 5414 nathan >
him a piece of money <7192 q@siytah > , and every <0376 >iysh >
one <0376 >iysh > an earring <5141 nexem > of gold <2091 zahab >
.

: 12 So the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > blessed <1288 barak > the
latter <0319 >achariyth > end of Job <0347 >Iyowb > more than
his beginning <7225 re>shiyth > : for he had <1961 hayah >
fourteen thousand <0505 >eleph > sheep <6629 tso>n > , and six
<8337 shesh > thousand <0505 >eleph > camels < 1581 gamal > ,
and a thousand <0505 >eleph > yoke <6776 tsemed > of oxen <1241
baqar > , and a thousand <0505 >eleph > she asses <0860 >athown
> .

: 13 He had <1961 hayah > also seven <7658 shib<anah > sons
<1121 ben > and three <7969 shalowsh > daughters < 1121 ben > .

: 14 And he called <7121 qara> > the name <8034 shem > of the
first <7223 ri>shown > , Jemima <3224 Y@miymah > ; and the
name <8034 shem > of the second <8145 sheniy > , Kezia <7103
Q@tsiy<ah > ; and the name <8034 shem > of the third <7992
sh@liyshiy > , Kerenhappuch <7163 qeren hap - puwk > .

: 15 And in all <3605 kol > the land <0776 >erets > were no
<3908 lachash > women <0802 >ishshah > found < 4672 matsa> > [
so ] fair <3303 yapheh > as the daughters <1121 ben > of Job
<0347 >Iyowb > : and their father <1> gave < 5414 nathan > them
inheritance <5159 nachalah > among <8432 tavek > their brethren
<0251 >ach > .

: 16 After <0310 >achar > this <2063 zo>th > lived <2421 chayah
> Job <0347 >Iyowb > an hundred <3967 me>ah > and forty <0705
>arba<iym > years <8141 shaneh > , and saw < 7200 ra>ah > his
sons <1121 ben > , and his sons <1121 ben > sons <1121 ben > ,
[ even ] four <0702 >arba< > generations <1755 dowr > .

: 17 So Job <0347 >Iyowb > died <4191 muwth > , [ being ]
old <2205 zaqen > and full <7646 saba< > of days <3117 yowm > .
