Job 1





1. There was a man <0376> in the land <0776> of Uz <05780>,
whose name <08034> [was] Job <0347>; and that man < 0376> was
perfect <08535> and upright <03477>, and one that feared <03373>
God <0430>, and eschewed <05493> evil <07451>.



2 And there were born <03205> unto him seven <07651> sons
<01121> and three <07969> daughters <01121>.



3 His substance <04735> also was seven <07651> thousand <0505>
sheep <06629>, and three <07969> thousand <0505> camels <01581>,
and five <02568> hundred <03967> yoke <06776> of oxen <01241>,
and five <02568> hundred <03967> she asses < 0860>, and a very
<03966> great <07227> household <05657>; so that this <01931>
man <0376> was the greatest <01419> of all < 03605> the men
<01121> of the east <06924>.



4. And his sons <01121> went <01980> and feasted < 04960> [in
their] houses <01004>, every <0376> one <0376> his day <03117>;
and sent <07971> and called <07121> for their three <07969>
sisters <0269> to eat <0398> and to drink < 08354> with them.



5 And it was so, when <03588> the days <03117> of [their]
feasting <04960> were gone <05362> about <05362> , that Job
<0347> sent <07971> and sanctified <06942> them, and rose
<07925> up early <07925> in the morning <01242>, and offered
<05927> burnt <05930> offerings [according] to the number
<04557> of them all <03605>: for Job <0347> said <0559>, It may
<0194> be that my sons <01121> have sinned < 02398>, and cursed
<01288> God <0430> in their hearts <03824>. Thus <03602> did
<06213> Job <0347> continually.



6. Now there was a day <03117> when the sons <01121> of God
<0430> came <0935> to present <03320> themselves before <05921>
the LORD <03068>, and Satan <07854> came <0935> also <01571>
among <08432> them.



7 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Satan < 07854>, Whence
<0370> comest <0935> thou? Then Satan <07854> answered <06030>
the LORD <03068>, and said <0559>, From going < 07751> to and fro
<07751> in the earth <0776>, and from walking < 01980> up and
down in it.



8 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Satan < 07854>, Hast
thou considered my servant <05650> Job <0347>, that [there is]
none <0369> like <03644> him in the earth <0776> , a perfect
<08535> and an upright <03477> man <0376>, one that feareth
<03373> God <0430>, and escheweth <05493> evil <07451>?



9 Then Satan <07854> answered <06030> the LORD < 03068>, and
said <0559>, Doth Job <0347> fear <03372> God <0430> for nought
<02600>?



10 Hast not thou made an hedge <07753> about <01157> him, and
about <01157> his house <01004>, and about < 01157> all <03605>
that he hath on every <05437> side <05439>? thou hast blessed
<01288> the work <04639> of his hands <03027>, and his substance
<04735> is increased <06555> in the land <0776>.



11 But put <07971> forth <07971> thine hand < 03027> now <04994>,
and touch <05060> all <03605> that he hath, and he will curse
<01288> thee to thy face <06440>.



12 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Satan < 07854>, Behold
<02009>, all <03605> that he hath [is] in thy power <03027>;
only <03535> upon himself put <07971> not forth < 07971> thine
hand <03027>. So Satan <07854> went <03318> forth <03318> from
the presence <06440> of the LORD <03068>.



13. And there was a day <03117> when his sons <01121> and his
daughters <01121> [were] eating <0398> and drinking <08354> wine
<03196> in their eldest <01060> brother's <0251> house <01004>:



14 And there came <0935> a messenger <04397> unto Job <0347>,
and said <0559>, The oxen <01241> were plowing < 02790>, and the
asses <0860> feeding <07462> beside them:



15 And the Sabeans <07614> fell <05307> [upon them], and took
<03947> them away; yea, they have slain <05221> the servants
<05288> with the edge <06310> of the sword < 02719>; and I only
<07535> am escaped <04422> alone <0905> to tell <05046> thee.



16 While he [was] yet speaking <01696>, there came < 0935> also
another <02088>, and said <0559>, The fire < 0784> of God <0430>
is fallen <05307> from heaven <08064>, and hath burned <01197>
up the sheep <06629>, and the servants <05288>, and consumed
<0398> them; and I only <07535> am escaped < 04422> alone <0905>
to tell <05046> thee.



17 While he [was] yet speaking <01696>, there came < 0935> also
another <02088>, and said <0559>, The Chaldeans < 03778> made
<07760> out three <07969> bands <07218>, and fell <06584> upon
the camels <01581>, and have carried <03947> them away, yea, and
slain <05221> the servants <05288> with the edge < 06310> of the
sword <02719>; and I only <07535> am escaped < 04422> alone
<0905> to tell <05046> thee.



18 While he [was] yet speaking <01696>, there came < 0935> also
another <02088>, and said <0559>, Thy sons < 01121> and thy
daughters <01121> [were] eating <0398> and drinking <08354> wine
<03196> in their eldest <01060> brother's <0251> house <01004>:



19 And, behold <02009>, there came <0935> a great <01419> wind
<07307> from the wilderness <04057>, and smote < 05060> the four
<0702> corners <06438> of the house <01004>, and it fell <05307>
upon the young <05288> men, and they are dead <04191>; and I
only <07535> am escaped <04422> alone <0905> to tell <05046>
thee.



20. Then Job <0347> arose <06965>, and rent < 07167> his mantle
<04598>, and shaved <01494> his head <07218>, and fell <05307>
down upon the ground <0776>, and worshipped <07812>,



21 And said <0559>, Naked <06174> came <03318> I out of my
mother's <0517> womb <0990>, and naked <06174> shall I return
<07725> thither <08033>: the LORD <03068> gave <05414>, and the
LORD <03068> hath taken <03947> away; blessed < 01288> be the
name <08034> of the LORD <03068>.



22 In all <03605> this <02063> Job <0347> sinned <02398> not,
nor <03808> charged <05414> God <0430> foolishly <08604>.



Job 2



1. Again there was a day <03117> when the sons < 01121> of God
<0430> came <0935> to present <03320> themselves before <05921>
the LORD <03068>, and Satan <07854> came <0935> also <01571>
among <08432> them to present <03320> himself before <06440> the
LORD <03068>.



2 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Satan < 07854>, From
whence comest <0935> thou? And Satan <07854> answered <06030>
the LORD <03068>, and said <0559>, From going < 07751> to and fro
<07751> in the earth <0776>, and from walking < 01980> up and
down in it.



3 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Satan < 07854>, Hast
thou considered my servant <05650> Job <0347>, that [there is]
none <0369> like <03644> him in the earth <0776> , a perfect
<08535> and an upright <03477> man <0376>, one that feareth
<03373> God <0430>, and escheweth <05493> evil <07451>? and
still <05750> he holdeth <02388> fast his integrity <08538>,
although thou movedst <05496> me against him, to destroy <01104>
him without <02600> cause <02600>.



4 And Satan <07854> answered <06030> the LORD < 03068>, and said
<0559>, Skin <05785> for skin <05785>, yea, all <03605> that a
man <0376> hath will he give <05414> for his life < 05315>.



5 But put <07971> forth <07971> thine hand < 03027> now <04994>,
and touch <05060> his bone <06106> and his flesh < 01320>, and he
will curse <01288> thee to thy face <06440>.



6 And the LORD <03068> said <0559> unto Satan < 07854>, Behold
<02009>, he [is] in thine hand <03027>; but save < 08104> his
life <05315>.



7. So went <03318> Satan <07854> forth <03318> from the
presence <06440> of the LORD <03068>, and smote < 05221> Job
<0347> with sore <07451> boils <07822> from the sole <03709> of
his foot <07272> unto his crown <06936>.



8 And he took <03947> him a potsherd <02789> to scrape <01623>
himself withal; and he sat <03427> down among <08432> the ashes
<0665>.



9 Then said <0559> his wife <0802> unto him, Dost thou still
<05750> retain <02388> thine integrity <08538>? curse <01288>
God <0430>, and die <04191>.



10 But he said <0559> unto her, Thou speakest <01696> as one
<0259> of the foolish <05039> women speaketh < 01696>. What
<01571>? shall we receive <06901> good <02896> at the hand
<0854> of God <0430>, and shall we not receive < 06901> evil
<07451>? In all <03605> this <02063> did not Job <0347> sin
<02398> with his lips <08193>.



11. Now when Job's <0347> three <07969> friends < 07453> heard
<08085> of all <03605> this <02063> evil < 07451> that was come
<0935> upon him, they came <0935> every <0376> one <0376> from
his own place <04725>; Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <08489>, and
Bildad <01085> the Shuhite <07747>, and Zophar < 06691> the
Naamathite <05284>: for they had made an appointment < 03259>
together <03162> to come <0935> to mourn <05110> with him and to
comfort <05162> him.



12 And when they lifted <05375> up their eyes <05869> afar
<07350> off, and knew <05234> him not, they lifted <05375> up
their voice <06963>, and wept <01058>; and they rent <07167>
every <0376> one <0376> his mantle <04598>, and sprinkled
<02236> dust <06083> upon their heads <07218> toward heaven
<08064>.



13 So they sat <03427> down with him upon the ground < 0776>
seven <07651> days <03117> and seven <07651> nights <03915>, and
none <0369> spake <01696> a word <01697> unto him: for they saw
<07200> that [his] grief <03511> was very < 03966> great <01431>.



Job 3



1. After <0310> this <03651> opened <06605> Job <0347> his
mouth <06310>, and cursed <07043> his day < 03117>.



2 And Job <0347> spake <06030>, and said <0559> ,



3 Let the day <03117> perish <06> wherein I was born <03205>,
and the night <03915> [in which] it was said <0559>, There is a
man <01397> child conceived <02030>.



4 Let that day <03117> be darkness <02822>; let not God <0433>
regard <01875> it from above <04605>, neither < 0408> let the
light <05105> shine <03313> upon it.



5 Let darkness <02822> and the shadow <06757> of death <06757>
stain <01350> it; let a cloud <06053> dwell < 07931> upon it; let
the blackness <03650> of the day <03117> terrify < 01204> it.



6 As [for] that night <03915>, let darkness <0652> seize
<03947> upon it; let it not be joined <02302> unto the days
<03117> of the year <08141>, let it not come < 0935> into the
number <04557> of the months <03391>.



7 Lo <02009>, let that night <03915> be solitary < 01565>, let
no <0408> joyful <07445> voice come <0935> therein.



8 Let them curse <05344> it that curse <0779> the day <03117>,
who are ready <06264> to raise <05782> up their mourning <03382>.



9 Let the stars <03556> of the twilight <05399> thereof be dark
<02821>; let it look <06960> for light <0216>, but [have] none
<0369>; neither <0408> let it see <07200> the dawning <06079> of
the day <07837>:



10 Because <03588> it shut <05462> not up the doors <01817> of
my [mother's] womb <0990>, nor hid <05641> sorrow < 03999> from
mine eyes <05869>.



11. Why <04100> died <04191> I not from the womb < 07358>? [why]
did I [not] give <01478> up the ghost <01478> when I came
<03318> out of the belly <0990>?



12 Why <04069> did the knees <01290> prevent < 06923> me? or why
<04069> the breasts <07699> that I should suck < 03243>?



13 For now <06258> should I have lain <07901> still and been
quiet <08252>, I should have slept <03462>: then < 0227> had I
been at rest <05117>,



14 With kings <04428> and counsellors <03289> of the earth
<0776>, which built <01129> desolate <02723> places <02723> for
themselves;



15 Or <0176> with princes <08269> that had gold < 02091>, who
filled <04390> their houses <01004> with silver < 03701>:



16 Or <0176> as an hidden <02934> untimely < 05309> birth
<05309> I had not been <01961>; as infants < 05768> [which] never
<03808> saw <07200> light <0216>.



17 There <08033> the wicked <07563> cease < 02308> [from]
troubling <07267>; and there <08033> the weary < 03019> be at
rest <05117>.



18 [There] the prisoners <0615> rest <07599> together <03162>;
they hear <08085> not the voice <06963> of the oppressor <05065>.



19 The small <06996> and great <01419> are there < 08033>; and
the servant <05650> [is] free <02670> from his master <0113>.



20. Wherefore <04100> is light <0216> given < 05414> to him that
is in misery <06001>, and life <02416> unto the bitter <04751>
[in] soul <05315>;



21 Which long <02442> for death <04194>, but it [cometh] not;
and dig <02658> for it more than for hid <04301> treasures
<04301>;



22 Which rejoice <08055> exceedingly, [and] are glad < 07797>,
when <03588> they can find <04672> the grave < 06913>?



23 [Why is light given] to a man <01397> whose <0834> way
<01870> is hid <05641>, and whom God <0433> hath hedged <05526>
in?



24 For my sighing <0585> cometh <0935> before < 06440> I eat
<03899>, and my roarings <07581> are poured < 05413> out like the
waters <04325>.



25 For the thing which I greatly feared <06342> is come <0857>
upon me, and that which <0834> I was afraid <03025> of is come
<0935> unto me.



26 I was not in safety <07951>, neither <03808> had I rest
<08252>, neither <03808> was I quiet <05117>; yet trouble
<07267> came <0935>.



Job 4



1. Then Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <08489> answered <06030>
and said <0559>,



2 [If] we assay <05254> to commune <01697> with thee, wilt thou
be grieved <03811>? but who <04310> can <03201> withhold <06113>
himself from speaking <04405>?



3 Behold <02009>, thou hast instructed <03256> many <07227>,
and thou hast strengthened <02388> the weak <07504> hands
<03027>.



4 Thy words <04405> have upholden <06965> him that was falling
<03782>, and thou hast strengthened <0553> the feeble <03766>
knees <01290>.



5 But now <06258> it is come <0935> upon thee, and thou
faintest <03811>; it toucheth <05060> thee, and thou art
troubled <0926>.



6 [Is] not [this] thy fear <03374>, thy confidence < 03690>, thy
hope <08615>, and the uprightness <08537> of thy ways <01870>?



7. Remember <02142>, I pray <04994> thee, who < 04310> [ever]
perished <06>, being innocent <05355>? or where < 0375> were the
righteous <06662> cut <03582> off?



8 Even as I have seen <07200>, they that plow <02790> iniquity
<0205>, and sow <02232> wickedness <05999>, reap <07114> the
same.



9 By the blast <05397> of God <0433> they perish < 06>, and by
the breath <07307> of his nostrils <0639> are they consumed
<03615>.



10 The roaring <07581> of the lion <0738>, and the voice
<06963> of the fierce <07826> lion <07826>, and the teeth
<08127> of the young <03715> lions <03715>, are broken <05421>.



11 The old lion <03918> perisheth <06> for lack < 01097> of prey
<02964>, and the stout lion's <03833> whelps < 01121> are
scattered <06504> abroad <06504>.



12. Now a thing <01697> was secretly <01589> brought <01589> to
me, and mine ear <0241> received <03947> a little < 08102>
thereof.



13 In thoughts <05587> from the visions <02384> of the night
<03915>, when deep <08639> sleep <08639> falleth <05307> on
<05921> men <0582>,



14 Fear <06343> came <07122> upon me, and trembling <07460>,
which made all <07230> my bones <06106> to shake < 06342>.



15 Then a spirit <07307> passed <02498> before < 05921> my face
<06440>; the hair <08185> of my flesh <01320> stood <05568> up:



16 It stood <05975> still, but I could not discern < 05234> the
form <04758> thereof: an image <08544> [was] before <05048> mine
eyes <05869>, [there was] silence <01827>, and I heard <08085> a
voice <06963>, [saying],



17 Shall mortal <0582> man <0582> be more just < 06663> than God
<0433>? shall a man <01396> be more pure <02891> than his maker
<06213>?



18 Behold <02005>, he put no <03808> trust < 0539> in his
servants <05650>; and his angels <04397> he charged <07760> with
folly <08417>:



19 How <0637> much <0637> less [in] them that dwell <07931> in
houses <01004> of clay <02563>, whose <0834> foundation <03247>
[is] in the dust <06083>, [which] are crushed <01792> before
<06440> the moth <06211>?



20 They are destroyed <03807> from morning <01242> to evening
<06153>: they perish <06> for ever <05331> without any regarding
<07760> [it].



21 Doth not their excellency <03499> [which is] in them go
<05265> away <05265>? they die <04191>, even without <03808>
wisdom <02451>.



Job 5



1. Call <07121> now <04994>, if there be any that will answer
<06030> thee; and to which <04310> of the saints < 06918> wilt
thou turn <06437>?



2 For wrath <03708> killeth <02026> the foolish < 0191> man, and
envy <07068> slayeth <04191> the silly <06601> one.



3 I have seen <07200> the foolish <0191> taking root <08327>:
but suddenly <06597> I cursed <05344> his habitation <05116>.



4 His children <01121> are far <07350> from safety <03468>, and
they are crushed <01792> in the gate <08179>, neither <0369> [is
there] any to deliver <05337> [them].



5 Whose <0834> harvest <07105> the hungry < 07456> eateth <0398>
up, and taketh <03947> it even out of the thorns < 06791>, and
the robber <06782> swalloweth <07602> up their substance <02428>.



6. Although <03588> affliction <0205> cometh < 03318> not forth
<03318> of the dust <06083>, neither <03808> doth trouble
<05999> spring <06779> out of the ground <0127>;



7 Yet <03588> man <0120> is born <03205> unto trouble <05999>,
as the sparks <07565> fly <05774> upward <01361> .



8 I would seek <01875> unto God <0410>, and unto God <0430>
would I commit <07760> my cause <01700>:



9 Which doeth <06213> great <01419> things and unsearchable;
marvellous <06381> things without number <04557>:



10 Who giveth <05414> rain <04306> upon the earth <0776>, and
sendeth <07971> waters <04325> upon the fields < 02351>:



11 To set <07760> up on high <04791> those that be low <08217>;
that those which mourn <06937> may be exalted <07682> to safety
<03468>.



12 He disappointeth <06565> the devices <04284> of the crafty
<06175>, so that their hands <03027> cannot perform [their]
enterprise <08454>.



13 He taketh <03920> the wise <02450> in their own craftiness
<06193>: and the counsel <06098> of the froward < 06617> is
carried <04116> headlong.



14 They meet <06298> with darkness <02822> in the daytime
<03119>, and grope <04959> in the noonday < 06672> as in the
night <03915>.



15 But he saveth <03467> the poor <034> from the sword <02719>,
from their mouth <06310>, and from the hand <03027> of the
mighty <02389>.



16 So the poor <01800> hath <01961> hope < 08615>, and iniquity
<05766> stoppeth <07092> her mouth <06310>.



17. Behold <02009>, happy <0835> [is] the man < 0582> whom God
<0433> correcteth <03198>: therefore despise < 03988> not thou
the chastening <04148> of the Almighty <07706>:



18 For he maketh sore <03510>, and bindeth <02280> up: he
woundeth <04272>, and his hands <03027> make whole <07495>.



19 He shall deliver <05337> thee in six <08337> troubles
<06869>: yea, in seven <07651> there shall no < 03808> evil
<07451> touch <05060> thee.



20 In famine <07458> he shall redeem <06299> thee from death
<04194>: and in war <04421> from the power < 03027> of the sword
<02719>.



21 Thou shalt be hid <02244> from the scourge <07752> of the
tongue <03956>: neither <03808> shalt thou be afraid <03372> of
destruction <07701> when <03588> it cometh < 0935>.



22 At destruction <07701> and famine <03720> thou shalt laugh
<07832>: neither <0408> shalt thou be afraid < 03372> of the
beasts <02416> of the earth <0776>.



23 For thou shalt be in league <01285> with the stones < 068> of
the field <07704>: and the beasts <02416> of the field <07704>
shall be at peace <07999> with thee.



24 And thou shalt know <03045> that thy tabernacle < 0168>
[shall be] in peace <07965>; and thou shalt visit < 06485> thy
habitation <05116>, and shalt not sin <02398>.



25 Thou shalt know <03045> also that thy seed <02233> [shall
be] great <07227>, and thine offspring <06631> as the grass
<06212> of the earth <0776>.



26 Thou shalt come <0935> to [thy] grave <06913> in a full
<03624> age <03624>, like as a shock <01430> of corn cometh
<05927> in in his season <06256>.



27 Lo <02009> this <02063>, we have searched < 02713> it, so
<03651> it [is]; hear <08085> it, and know < 03045> thou [it] for
thy good.



Job 6



1. But Job <0347> answered <06030> and said < 0559>,



2 Oh that my grief <03708> were throughly weighed < 08254>, and
my calamity <01942> laid <05375> in the balances < 03976>
together <03162>!



3 For now <06258> it would be heavier <03513> than the sand
<02344> of the sea <03220>: therefore my words < 01697> are
swallowed <03886> up.



4 For the arrows <02671> of the Almighty <07706> [are] within
<05978> me, the poison <02534> whereof <0834> drinketh <08354>
up my spirit <07307>: the terrors <01161> of God < 0433> do set
themselves in array <06186> against me.



5 Doth the wild <06501> ass <06501> bray < 05101> when he hath
grass <01877>? or loweth <01600> the ox <07794> over <05921> his
fodder <01098>?



6 Can that which is unsavoury <08602> be eaten <0398> without
<01097> salt <04417>? or is there <08033> [any] taste <02940> in
the white <07388> of an egg <02495>?



7 The things [that] my soul <05315> refused <03985> to touch
<05060> [are] as my sorrowful <01741> meat < 03899>.



8. Oh that I might have <0935> my request <07596>; and that God
<0433> would grant <05414> [me] the thing that I long <08615>
for!



9 Even that it would please <02894> God <0433> to destroy
<01792> me; that he would let loose <05425> his hand <03027>,
and cut <01214> me off!



10 Then should I yet <05750> have <01961> comfort <05165>; yea,
I would harden <05539> myself in sorrow <02427>: let him not
spare <02550>; for I have not concealed <03582> the words <0561>
of the Holy <06918> One.



11 What <04100> [is] my strength <03581>, that I should hope
<03176>? and what <04100> [is] mine end <07093>, that I should
prolong <0748> my life <05315>?



12 [Is] my strength <03581> the strength <03581> of stones
<068>? or [is] my flesh <01320> of brass <05153> ?



13 [Is] not my help <05833> in me? and is wisdom < 08454> driven
<05080> quite <05080> from me?



14. To him that is afflicted <04523> pity <02617> [should be
shewed] from his friend <07453>; but he forsaketh < 05800> the
fear <03374> of the Almighty <07706>.



15 My brethren <0251> have dealt deceitfully <0898> as a brook
<05158>, [and] as the stream <0650> of brooks < 05158> they pass
<05674> away;



16 Which are blackish <06937> by reason <04480> of the ice
<07140>, [and] wherein the snow <07950> is hid < 05956>:



17 What time <06256> they wax warm <02215>, they vanish <06789>:
when it is hot <02527>, they are consumed <01846> out of their
place <04725>.



18 The paths <0734> of their way <01870> are turned <03943>
aside <03943>; they go <05927> to nothing < 08414>, and perish
<06>.



19 The troops <0734> of Tema <08485> looked < 05027>, the
companies <01979> of Sheba <07614> waited < 06960> for them.



20 They were confounded <0954> because <03588> they had hoped
<0982>; they came <0935> thither <05704>, and were ashamed
<02659>.



21 For now <06258> ye are nothing <03808>; ye see <07200> [my]
casting <02866> down, and are afraid <03372>.



22. Did I say <0559>, Bring <06051> unto me? or, Give a reward
<07809> for me of your substance <03581>?



23 Or, Deliver <04422> me from the enemy's <06862> hand
<03027>? or, Redeem <06299> me from the hand < 03027> of the
mighty <06184>?



24 Teach <03384> me, and I will hold <02790> my tongue <02790>:
and cause me to understand <0995> wherein <04100> I have erred
<07683>.



25 How <04100> forcible <04834> are right < 03476> words <0561>!
but what <04100> doth your arguing <03198> reprove <03198>?



26 Do ye imagine <02803> to reprove <03198> words <04405>, and
the speeches <0561> of one that is desperate <02976>, [which
are] as wind <07307>?



27 Yea <0637>, ye overwhelm <05307> the fatherless <03490>, and
ye dig <03738> [a pit] for your friend <07451>.



28 Now <06258> therefore be content <02974>, look <06437> upon
me; for [it is] evident unto you if <0518> I lie < 03576>.



29 Return <07725>, I pray <04994> you, let it not be iniquity
<05766>; yea, return <07725> again <05750>, my righteousness
<06664> [is] in it.



30 Is there iniquity <05766> in my tongue <03956>? cannot
<03808> my taste <02441> discern <0995> perverse <01942> things?



Job 7



1. [Is there] not an appointed <06635> time <06635> to man
<0582> upon earth <0776>? [are not] his days < 03117> also like
the days <03117> of an hireling <07916>?



2 As a servant <05650> earnestly desireth <07602> the shadow
<06738>, and as an hireling <07916> looketh < 06960> for [the
reward of] his work <06467>:



3 So <03651> am I made to possess <05157> months < 03391> of
vanity <07723>, and wearisome <05999> nights < 03915> are
appointed <04487> to me.



4 When <04970> I lie <07901> down <07901>, I say <0559>, When
<04970> shall I arise <06965>, and the night < 06153> be gone
<04059>? and I am full <07646> of tossings < 05076> to and fro
unto the dawning <05399> of the day <05399>.



5 My flesh <01320> is clothed <03847> with worms < 07415> and
clods <01487> of dust <06083>; my skin <05785> is broken <07280>,
and become <03988> loathsome <03988>.



6 My days <03117> are swifter <07043> than a weaver's shuttle
<0708>, and are spent <03615> without <0657> hope <08615>.



7. O remember <02142> that my life <02416> [is] wind <07307>:
mine eye <05869> shall no <03808> more <07725> see <07200> good
<02896>.



8 The eye <05869> of him that hath seen <07210> me shall see
<07789> me no <03808> [more]: thine eyes <05869> [are] upon me,
and I [am] not.



9 [As] the cloud <06051> is consumed <03615> and vanisheth
<03212> away: so <03651> he that goeth <03381> down <03381> to
the grave <07585> shall come <05927> up no < 03808> [more].



10 He shall return <07725> no <03808> more < 05750> to his house
<01004>, neither <03808> shall his place <04725> know <05234>
him any more <05750>.



11 Therefore <01571> I will not refrain <02820> my mouth
<06310>; I will speak <01696> in the anguish < 06862> of my
spirit <07307>; I will complain <07878> in the bitterness
<04751> of my soul <05315>.



12 [Am] I a sea <03220>, or a whale <08577>, that thou settest
<07760> a watch <04929> over <05921> me?



13 When <03588> I say <0559>, My bed <06210> shall comfort
<05162> me, my couch <04904> shall ease <05375> my complaint
<07878>;



14 Then thou scarest <02865> me with dreams <02472>, and
terrifiest <01204> me through visions <02384>:



15 So that my soul <05315> chooseth <0977> strangling <04267>,
[and] death <04194> rather than my life <06106>.



16 I loathe <03988> [it]; I would not live <02421> alway
<05769>: let me alone <02308>; for my days < 03117> [are] vanity
<01892>.



17. What <04100> [is] man <0582>, that thou shouldest magnify
<01431> him? and that thou shouldest set <07896> thine heart
<03820> upon him?



18 And [that] thou shouldest visit <06485> him every morning
<01242>, [and] try <0974> him every moment < 07281>?



19 How <05704> long <04101> wilt thou not depart < 08159> from
me, nor <03808> let me alone <07503> till < 05704> I swallow
<01104> down my spittle <07536>?



20 I have sinned <02398>; what <04100> shall I do <06466> unto
thee, O thou preserver <05314> of men <0120>? why < 04100> hast
thou set <07760> me as a mark <04645> against thee, so that I am
a burden <04853> to myself?



21 And why <04100> dost thou not pardon <05375> my
transgression <06588>, and take <05674> away < 05674> mine
iniquity <05771>? for now <06258> shall I sleep < 07901> in the
dust <06083>; and thou shalt seek <07836> me in the morning
<07836>, but I [shall] not [be].



Job 8



1. Then answered <06030> Bildad <01085> the Shuhite <07747>,
and said <0559>,



2 How <05704> long <05704> wilt thou speak < 04448> these <0428>
[things]? and [how long shall] the words <0561> of thy mouth
<06310> [be like] a strong <03524> wind <07307>?



3 Doth God <0410> pervert <05791> judgment < 04941>? or doth the
Almighty <07706> pervert <05791> justice <06664> ?



4 If <0518> thy children <01121> have sinned < 02398> against
him, and he have cast <07971> them away for their transgression
<06588>;



5 If <0518> thou wouldest seek <07836> unto God < 0410> betimes
<07836>, and make thy supplication <02603> to the Almighty
<07706>;



6 If <0518> thou [wert] pure <02134> and upright < 03477>;
surely <03588> now <06258> he would awake < 05782> for thee, and
make the habitation <05116> of thy righteousness < 06664>
prosperous <07999>.



7 Though thy beginning <07225> was small <04705>, yet thy
latter <0319> end should greatly <03966> increase < 07685>.



8. For enquire <07592>, I pray <04994> thee, of the former
<07223> age <01755>, and prepare <03559> thyself to the search
<02714> of their fathers <01>:



9 (For we [are but of] yesterday <08543>, and know < 03045>
nothing <03808>, because <03588> our days < 03117> upon earth
<0776> [are] a shadow <06738>:)



10 Shall not they teach <03384> thee, [and] tell < 0559> thee,
and utter <03318> words <04405> out of their heart <03820>?



11 Can the rush <01573> grow <01342> up without < 03808> mire
<01207>? can the flag <0260> grow <06779> without <01097> water
<04325>?



12 Whilst <05704> it [is] yet <05750> in his greenness <03>,
[and] not cut <06998> down, it withereth <03001> before <06440>
any <03605> [other] herb <02682>.



13 So <03651> [are] the paths <0734> of all < 03605> that forget
<07911> God <0410>; and the hypocrite's <02611> hope <08615>
shall perish <06>:



14 Whose <0834> hope <03689> shall be cut < 06990> off, and
whose trust <04009> [shall be] a spider's <05908> web <01004>.



15 He shall lean <08172> upon his house <01004>, but it shall
not stand <05975>: he shall hold <02388> it fast, but it shall
not endure <06965>.



16 He [is] green <07373> before <06440> the sun < 08121>, and
his branch <03127> shooteth <03318> forth < 03318> in his garden
<01593>.



17 His roots <08328> are wrapped <05440> about < 05440> the heap
<01530>, [and] seeth <02372> the place <01004> of stones <068>.



18 If <0518> he destroy <01104> him from his place <04725>,
then [it] shall deny <03584> him, [saying], I have not seen
<07200> thee.



19 Behold <02005>, this <01931> [is] the joy < 04885> of his way
<01870>, and out of the earth <06083> shall others <0312> grow
<06779>.



20. Behold <02005>, God <0410> will not cast < 03988> away a
perfect <08535> [man], neither <03808> will he help <02388> the
evil <07489> doers:



21 Till <05704> he fill <04390> thy mouth < 06310> with laughing
<07814>, and thy lips <08193> with rejoicing < 08643>.



22 They that hate <08130> thee shall be clothed < 03847> with
shame <01322>; and the dwelling <0168> place of the wicked
<07563> shall come to nought <0369>.



Job 9



1. Then Job <0347> answered <06030> and said < 0559>,



2 I know <03045> [it is] so <03651> of a truth < 0551>: but how
<04100> should man <0582> be just <06663> with God <0410>?



3 If <0518> he will contend <07378> with him, he cannot <03808>
answer <06030> him one <0259> of a thousand < 0505>.



4 [He is] wise <02450> in heart <03824>, and mighty <0533> in
strength <03581>: who <04310> hath hardened < 07185> [himself]
against <0413> him, and hath prospered <07999>?



5 Which removeth <06275> the mountains <02022>, and they know
<03045> not: which <0834> overturneth <02015> them in his anger
<0639>.



6 Which shaketh <07264> the earth <0776> out of her place
<04725>, and the pillars <05982> thereof tremble < 06426>.



7 Which commandeth <0559> the sun <02775>, and it riseth
<02224> not; and sealeth <02856> up the stars < 03556>.



8 Which alone <0905> spreadeth <05186> out the heavens <08064>,
and treadeth <01869> upon the waves <01116> of the sea <03220>.



9 Which maketh <06213> Arcturus <05906>, Orion < 03685>, and
Pleiades <03598>, and the chambers <02315> of the south <08486>.



10 Which doeth <06213> great <01419> things past < 0369> finding
<02714> out; yea, and wonders <06381> without number <04557>.



11 Lo <02005>, he goeth <05674> by me, and I see < 07200> [him]
not: he passeth <02498> on also, but I perceive <0995> him not.



12 Behold <02005>, he taketh <02862> away < 02862>, who <04310>
can hinder <07725> him? who <04310> will say < 0559> unto him,
What <04100> doest <06213> thou?



13 [If] God <0433> will not withdraw <07725> his anger <0639>,
the proud <07293> helpers <05826> do stoop < 07817> under <08478>
him.



14. How <0637> much less shall I answer <06030> him, [and]
choose <0977> out my words <01697> [to reason] with him?



15 Whom <0834>, though <0518> I were righteous < 06663>, [yet]
would I not answer <06030>, [but] I would make supplication
<02603> to my judge <08199>.



16 If <0518> I had called <07121>, and he had answered <06030>
me; [yet] would I not believe <0539> that he had hearkened
<0238> unto my voice <06963>.



17 For he breaketh <07779> me with a tempest <08183>, and
multiplieth <07235> my wounds <06482> without < 02600> cause
<02600>.



18 He will not suffer <05414> me to take my breath < 07307>, but
filleth <07646> me with bitterness <04472>.



19 If <0518> [I speak] of strength <03581>, lo < 02009>, [he is]
strong <0533>: and if <0518> of judgment <04941> , who <04310>
shall set <03259> me a time [to plead]?



20 If <0518> I justify <06663> myself, mine own mouth <06310>
shall condemn <07561> me: [if I say], I [am] perfect < 08535>, it
shall also prove me perverse <06140>.



21 [Though] I [were] perfect <08535>, [yet] would I not know
<03045> my soul <05315>: I would despise <03988> my life <02416>.



22. This <01931> [is] one <0259> [thing], therefore I said
<0559> [it], He destroyeth <03615> the perfect < 08535> and the
wicked <07563>.



23 If <0518> the scourge <07752> slay <04191> suddenly <06597>,
he will laugh <03932> at the trial <04531> of the innocent
<05355>.



24 The earth <0776> is given <05414> into the hand <03027> of
the wicked <07563>: he covereth <04374> the faces < 06440> of the
judges <08199> thereof; if <0518> not, where < 0645>, [and] who
<04310> [is] he?



25. Now my days <03117> are swifter <07043> than < 04480> a post
<07323>: they flee <01272> away, they see < 07200> no <03808>
good <02896>.



26 They are passed <02498> away as the swift <016> ships <0591>:
as the eagle <05404> [that] hasteth <02907> to the prey <0400>.



27 If <0518> I say <0559>, I will forget < 07911> my complaint
<07878>, I will leave <05800> off my heaviness < 06440>, and
comfort <01082> [myself]:



28 I am afraid <03025> of all <03605> my sorrows < 06094>, I
know <03045> that thou wilt not hold me innocent < 05352>.



29 [If] I be wicked <07561>, why <04100> then labour <03021> I
in vain <01892>?



30 If <0518> I wash <07364> myself with snow < 07950> water
<01119>, and make my hands <03709> never <01253> so clean
<02141>;



31 Yet <0227> shalt thou plunge <02881> me in the ditch <07845>,
and mine own clothes <08008> shall abhor <08581> me.



32 For [he is] not a man <0376>, as I [am, that] I should
answer <06030> him, [and] we should come <0935> together <03162>
in judgment <04941>.



33 Neither <03808> is there any daysman <03198> betwixt <0996>
us, [that] might lay <07896> his hand <03027> upon us both
<08147>.



34 Let him take <05493> his rod <07626> away < 05493> from me,
and let not his fear <0367> terrify <01204> me:



35 [Then] would I speak <01696>, and not fear <03372> him; but
[it is] not so <03651> with me.



Job 10



1. My soul <05315> is weary <05354> of my life < 02416>; I will
leave <05800> my complaint <07878> upon myself; I will speak
<01696> in the bitterness <04751> of my soul < 05315>.



2 I will say <0559> unto God <0433>, Do not condemn <07561> me;
shew <03045> me wherefore thou contendest with me.



3 [Is it] good <02896> unto thee that thou shouldest oppress
<06231>, that thou shouldest despise <03988> the work <03018> of
thine hands <03709>, and shine <03313> upon the counsel <06098>
of the wicked <07563>?



4 Hast thou eyes <05869> of flesh <01320>? or seest <07200>
thou as man <0582> seeth <07200>?



5 [Are] thy days <03117> as the days <03117> of man <0582>?
[are] thy years <08141> as man's <01397> days < 03117>,



6 That thou enquirest <01245> after <0310> mine iniquity
<05771>, and searchest <01875> after <0310> my sin <02403>?



7 Thou knowest <01847> that I am not wicked <07561>; and [there
is] none <0369> that can deliver <05337> out of thine hand
<03027>.



8. Thine hands <03027> have made <06087> me and fashioned
<06213> me together <03162> round <05439> about; yet thou dost
destroy <01104> me.



9 Remember <02142>, I beseech <04994> thee, that thou hast made
<06213> me as the clay <02563>; and wilt thou bring <07725> me
into <0413> dust <06083> again <07725>?



10 Hast thou not poured <05413> me out as milk < 02461>, and
curdled <07087> me like cheese <01385>?



11 Thou hast clothed <03847> me with skin <05785> and flesh
<01320>, and hast fenced <07753> me with bones < 06106> and
sinews <01517>.



12 Thou hast granted <06213> me life <02416> and favour <02617>,
and thy visitation <06486> hath preserved <08104> my spirit
<07307>.



13 And these <0428> [things] hast thou hid <06845> in thine
heart <03824>: I know <03045> that this <02063> [is] with thee.



14. If <0518> I sin <02398>, then thou markest < 08104> me, and
thou wilt not acquit <05352> me from mine iniquity < 05771>.



15 If <0518> I be wicked <07561>, woe <0480> unto me; and [if
<0518>] I be righteous <06662>, [yet] will I not lift <05375> up
my head <07218>. [I am] full <07646> of confusion < 07036>;
therefore see <07200> thou mine affliction <06040>;



16 For it increaseth <01342>. Thou huntest <06679> me as a
fierce <07826> lion <07826>: and again <07725> thou shewest
thyself marvellous <06381> upon me.



17 Thou renewest <02318> thy witnesses <05707> against <05048>
me, and increasest <07235> thine indignation <03708> upon me;
changes <02487> and war <06635> [are] against < 05973> me.



18 Wherefore <04100> then hast thou brought <03318> me forth
<03318> out of the womb <07358>? Oh that I had given <01478> up
the ghost <01478>, and no <03808> eye <05869> had seen <07200>
me!



19 I should have been <01961> as though I had not been < 01961>;
I should have been carried <02986> from the womb < 0990> to the
grave <06913>.



20 [Are] not my days <03117> few <04592>? cease < 02308> [then,
and] let me alone <07896>, that I may take comfort < 01082> a
little <04592>,



21 Before <02962> I go <03212> [whence] I shall not return
<07725>, [even] to the land <0776> of darkness < 02822> and the
shadow <06757> of death <06757>;



22 A land <0776> of darkness <05890>, as darkness <05890>
[itself; and] of the shadow <06738> of death <06757>, without
<03808> any order <05468>, and [where] the light < 03313> [is] as
darkness <0652>.



Job 11



1. Then answered <06030> Zophar <06691> the Naamathite <05284>,
and said <0559>,



2 Should not the multitude <07230> of words <01697> be answered
<06030>? and should a man <0376> full of talk < 08193> be
justified <06663>?



3 Should thy lies <0907> make men <04962> hold < 02790> their
peace <02790>? and when thou mockest <03932>, shall no <0369>
man make thee ashamed <03637>?



4 For thou hast said <0559>, My doctrine <03948> [is] pure
<02134>, and I am clean <01249> in thine eyes < 05869>.



5 But oh that God <0433> would speak <01696>, and open <06605>
his lips <08193> against <05973> thee;



6 And that he would shew <05046> thee the secrets < 08587> of
wisdom <02451>, that [they are] double <03718> to that which is!
Know <03045> therefore that God <0433> exacteth < 05382> of thee
[less] than thine iniquity <05771> [deserveth].



7. Canst thou by searching <02714> find <04672> out God <0433>?
canst thou find <04672> out the Almighty <07706> unto perfection
<08503>?



8 [It is] as high <01363> as heaven <08064>; what <04100> canst
thou do <06466>? deeper <06013> than <04480> hell <07585>; what
<04100> canst thou know <03045>?



9 The measure <04055> thereof [is] longer <0752> than <04480>
the earth <0776>, and broader <07342> than < 04480> the sea
<03220>.



10 If <0518> he cut <02498> off, and shut < 05462> up, or gather
<06950> together, then who <04310> can hinder < 07725> him?



11 For he knoweth <03045> vain <07723> men < 04962>: he seeth
<07200> wickedness <0205> also; will he not then consider <0995>
[it]?



12 For vain <05014> man would be wise <03823>, though man be
born <03205> [like] a wild <06501> ass's <06501> colt <05895>.



13. If <0518> thou prepare <03559> thine heart < 03820>, and
stretch <06566> out thine hands <03709> toward < 0413> him;



14 If <0518> iniquity <0205> [be] in thine hand < 03027>, put it
far <07350> away, and let not wickedness <05766> dwell <07931>
in thy tabernacles <0168>.



15 For then <0227> shalt thou lift <05375> up thy face <06440>
without spot <03971>; yea, thou shalt be stedfast < 03332>, and
shalt not fear <03372>:



16 Because <03588> thou shalt forget <07911> [thy] misery
<05999>, [and] remember <02142> [it] as waters < 04325> [that]
pass <05674> away:



17 And [thine] age <02465> shall be clearer <06965> than the
noonday <06672>; thou shalt shine <05774> forth, thou shalt be
as the morning <01242>.



18 And thou shalt be secure <0982>, because <03588> there is
hope <08615>; yea, thou shalt dig <02658> [about < 05439> thee,
and] thou shalt take <07901> thy rest <07901> in safety <0983>.



19 Also thou shalt lie <07257> down <07257>, and none <0369>
shall make [thee] afraid <02729>; yea, many <07227> shall make
suit <02470> unto thee.



20 But the eyes <05869> of the wicked <07563> shall fail
<03615>, and they shall not escape, and their hope < 08615>
[shall be as] the giving <04646> up of the ghost < 05315>.



Job 12



1. And Job <0347> answered <06030> and said < 0559>,



2 No <0551> doubt <0551> but ye [are] the people < 05971>, and
wisdom <02451> shall die <04191> with you.



3 But I have understanding <03824> as well <071> as you; I [am
<01961>] not inferior <05307> to you: yea, who < 04310> knoweth
<0854> not such <03644> things as these <0428>?



4 I am [as] one mocked <07832> of his neighbour < 07453>, who
calleth <07121> upon God <0433>, and he answereth < 06030> him:
the just <06662> upright <08549> [man is] laughed < 07832> to
scorn.



5 He that is ready <03559> to slip <04571> with [his] feet
<07272> [is as] a lamp <03940> despised <0937> in the thought
<06248> of him that is at ease <07600>.



6. The tabernacles <0168> of robbers <07703> prosper <07951>,
and they that provoke <07264> God <0410> are secure <0987>; into
whose <0834> hand <03027> God <0433> bringeth <0935>
[abundantly].



7 But ask <07592> now <04994> the beasts <0929> , and they shall
teach <03384> thee; and the fowls <05775> of the air <08064>,
and they shall tell <05046> thee:



8 Or <0176> speak <07878> to the earth <0776>, and it shall
teach <03384> thee: and the fishes <01709> of the sea <03220>
shall declare <05608> unto thee.



9 Who <04310> knoweth <03045> not in all < 03605> these <0428>
that the hand <03027> of the LORD <03068> hath wrought <06213>
this <02063>?



10 In whose <0834> hand <03027> [is] the soul < 05315> of every
<03605> living <02416> thing, and the breath < 07307> of all
<03605> mankind.



11 Doth not the ear <0241> try <0974> words < 04405>? and the
mouth <02441> taste <02938> his meat <0400>?



12. With the ancient <03453> [is] wisdom <02451>; and in length
<0753> of days <03117> understanding <08394>.



13 With him [is] wisdom <02451> and strength <01369>, he hath
counsel <06098> and understanding <08394>.



14 Behold <02005>, he breaketh <02040> down < 02040>, and it
cannot <03808> be built <01129> again: he shutteth <05462> up a
man <0376>, and there can be no <03808> opening < 06605>.



15 Behold <02005>, he withholdeth <06113> the waters <04325>,
and they dry <03001> up: also he sendeth <07971> them out, and
they overturn <02015> the earth <0776>.



16 With him [is] strength <05797> and wisdom <08454>: the
deceived <07683> and the deceiver <07686> [are] his.



17 He leadeth <03212> counsellors <03289> away spoiled <07758>,
and maketh the judges <08199> fools <01984>.



18 He looseth <06605> the bond <04148> of kings < 04428>, and
girdeth <0631> their loins <04975> with a girdle < 0232>.



19 He leadeth <03212> princes <03548> away spoiled <07758>, and
overthroweth <05557> the mighty <0386>.



20 He removeth <05493> away the speech <08193> of the trusty
<0539>, and taketh <03947> away the understanding < 02940> of the
aged <02205>.



21 He poureth <08210> contempt <0937> upon princes <05081>, and
weakeneth <07503> the strength <04206> of the mighty <0650>.



22 He discovereth <01540> deep <06013> things out of darkness
<02822>, and bringeth <03318> out to light < 0216> the shadow
<06757> of death <06757>.



23 He increaseth <07679> the nations <01471>, and destroyeth
<06> them: he enlargeth <07849> the nations < 01471>, and
straiteneth <05148> them [again].



24 He taketh <05493> away <05493> the heart < 03820> of the
chief <07218> of the people <05971> of the earth < 0776>, and
causeth them to wander <08582> in a wilderness <08414> [where
there is] no <03808> way <01870>.



25 They grope <04959> in the dark <02822> without <03808> light
<0216>, and he maketh them to stagger <08582> like [a] drunken
<07910> [man].



Job 13



1. Lo <02005>, mine eye <05869> hath seen < 07200> all <03605>
[this], mine ear <0241> hath heard <08085> and understood <0995>
it.



2 What ye know <01847>, [the same] do I know <03045> also
<01571>: I [am] not inferior <05307> unto you.



3 Surely <0199> I would speak <01696> to the Almighty <07706>,
and I desire <02654> to reason <03198> with God < 0410>.



4 But ye [are] forgers <02950> of lies <08267>, ye [are] all
<03605> physicians <07495> of no <0457> value <0457>.



5 O that ye would altogether hold <02790> your peace < 02790>!
and it should be your wisdom <02451>.



6 Hear <08085> now <04994> my reasoning <08433> , and hearken
<07181> to the pleadings <07379> of my lips < 08193>.



7 Will ye speak <01696> wickedly <05766> for God < 0410>? and
talk <01696> deceitfully <07423> for him?



8 Will ye accept <05375> his person <06440>? will ye contend
<07378> for God <0410>?



9 Is it good <02896> that he should search <02713> you out? or
as one man <0582> mocketh <02048> another, do ye [so] mock
<02048> him?



10 He will surely reprove <03198> you, if <0518> ye do secretly
<05643> accept <05375> persons <06440>.



11 Shall not his excellency <07613> make you afraid < 01204>?
and his dread <06343> fall <05307> upon you?



12 Your remembrances <02146> [are] like <04911> unto ashes
<0665>, your bodies <01354> to bodies <01472> of clay <02563>.



13. Hold <02790> your peace <02790>, let me alone, that I may
speak <01696>, and let come <05674> on me what < 04100> [will].



14 Wherefore do I take <05375> my flesh <01320> in my teeth
<08127>, and put <07760> my life <05315> in mine hand <03709>?



15 Though he slay <06991> me, yet will I trust < 03176> in him:
but I will maintain <03198> mine own ways <01870> before him.



16 He also <01571> [shall be] my salvation <03444>: for an
hypocrite <02611> shall not come <0935> before < 06440> him.



17 Hear <08085> diligently my speech <04405>, and my
declaration <0262> with your ears <0241>.



18 Behold <02009> now <04994>, I have <01961> ordered <06186>
[my] cause <04941>; I know <03045> that I shall be justified
<06663>.



19 Who <04310> [is] he [that] will plead <07378> with me? for
now <06258>, if <03588> I hold <02790> my tongue <02790>, I
shall give <01478> up the ghost <01478>.



20 Only <0389> do <06213> not two <08147> [things] unto me:
then <0227> will I not hide <05641> myself from thee.



21 Withdraw <07368> thine hand <03709> far < 07350> from me: and
let not thy dread <0367> make me afraid <01204>.



22 Then call <07121> thou, and I will answer <06030>: or <0176>
let me speak <01696>, and answer <07725> thou me.



23. How <04100> many [are] mine iniquities <05771> and sins
<02403>? make me to know <03045> my transgression < 06588> and my
sin <02403>.



24 Wherefore <04100> hidest <05641> thou thy face <06440>, and
holdest <02803> me for thine enemy <0341>?



25 Wilt thou break <06206> a leaf <05929> driven < 05086> to and
fro? and wilt thou pursue <07291> the dry <03002> stubble
<07179>?



26 For thou writest <03789> bitter <04846> things against
<05921> me, and makest me to possess <03423> the iniquities
<05771> of my youth <05271>.



27 Thou puttest <07760> my feet <07272> also in the stocks
<05465>, and lookest <08104> narrowly <08104> unto all <03605>
my paths <0734>; thou settest a print <02707> upon the heels
<08323> of my feet <07272>.



28 And he, as a rotten <07538> thing, consumeth < 01086>, as a
garment <0899> that is moth <06211> eaten <0398> .



Job 14



1. Man <0120> [that is] born <03205> of a woman < 0802> [is] of
few <07116> days <03117>, and full <07646> of trouble <07267>.



2 He cometh <03318> forth <03318> like a flower < 06731>, and is
cut <05243> down: he fleeth <01272> also as a shadow <06738>,
and continueth <05975> not.



3 And dost thou open <06491> thine eyes <05869> upon such
<02088> an one, and bringest <0935> me into judgment <04941>
with thee?



4 Who <04310> can bring <05414> a clean <02889> [thing] out of
an unclean <02931>? not one <0259>.



5 Seeing <0518> his days <03117> [are] determined <02782>, the
number <04557> of his months <02320> [are] with thee, thou hast
appointed <06213> his bounds <02706> that he cannot <03808> pass
<05674>;



6 Turn <08159> from him, that he may rest <02308>, till <05704>
he shall accomplish <07521>, as an hireling <07916>, his day
<03117>.



7. For there is hope <08615> of a tree <06086>, if it be cut
<03772> down, that it will sprout <02498> again < 05750>, and
that the tender <03127> branch thereof will not cease < 02308>.



8 Though <0518> the root <08328> thereof wax old < 02204> in the
earth <0776>, and the stock <01503> thereof die < 04191> in the
ground <06083>;



9 [Yet] through the scent <07381> of water <04325> it will bud
<06524>, and bring <06213> forth <06213> boughs <07105> like
<03644> a plant <05194>.



10 But man <01397> dieth <04191>, and wasteth < 02522> away: yea,
man <0120> giveth <01478> up the ghost <01478>, and where
<0834> [is] he?



11 [As] the waters <04325> fail <0235> from the sea <03220>,
and the flood <05104> decayeth <02717> and drieth < 03001> up:



12 So man <0376> lieth <07901> down <07901>, and riseth <06965>
not: till <05704> the heavens <08064> [be] no < 01115> more, they
shall not awake <06974>, nor <03808> be raised < 05782> out of
their sleep <08142>.



13 O that thou wouldest hide <06845> me in the grave < 07585>,
that thou wouldest keep me secret <05641>, until < 05704> thy
wrath <0639> be past <07725>, that thou wouldest appoint <07896>
me a set <02706> time, and remember <02142> me!



14 If <0518> a man <01397> die <04191>, shall he live <02421>
[again]? all <03605> the days <03117> of my appointed <06635>
time <06635> will I wait <03176>, till <05704> my change <02487>
come <0935>.



15 Thou shalt call <07121>, and I will answer <06030> thee:
thou wilt have a desire <03700> to the work <04639> of thine
hands <03027>.



16. For now <06258> thou numberest <05608> my steps <06806>:
dost thou not watch <08104> over <05921> my sin < 02403>?



17 My transgression <06588> [is] sealed <02856> up in a bag
<06872>, and thou sewest <02950> up mine iniquity < 05771>.



18 And surely <0199> the mountain <02022> falling <05307>
cometh <05034> to nought <05034>, and the rock < 06697> is
removed <06275> out of his place <04725>.



19 The waters <04325> wear <07833> the stones < 068>: thou
washest <07857> away the things which grow <05599> [out] of the
dust <06083> of the earth <0776>; and thou destroyest <06> the
hope <08615> of man <0582>.



20 Thou prevailest <08630> for ever <05331> against him, and he
passeth <01980>: thou changest <08138> his countenance <06440>,
and sendest <07971> him away.



21 His sons <01121> come to honour <03513>, and he knoweth
<03045> [it] not; and they are brought <06819> low <06819>, but
he perceiveth <0995> [it] not of them.



22 But his flesh <01320> upon him shall have pain < 03510>, and
his soul <05315> within <05921> him shall mourn < 056>.



Job 15



1. Then answered <06030> Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <08489>,
and said <0559>,



2 Should a wise <02450> man utter vain <07307> knowledge
<01847>, and fill <04390> his belly <0990> with the east <06921>
wind <07307>?



3 Should he reason <03198> with unprofitable <05532> talk
<01697>? or with speeches <04405> wherewith he can do <05953> no
<03808> good <03276>?



4 Yea <0637>, thou castest <06565> off fear < 03374>, and
restrainest <01639> prayer <07878> before < 06440> God <0410>.



5 For thy mouth <06310> uttereth <0502> thine iniquity <05771>,
and thou choosest <0977> the tongue <03956> of the crafty
<06175>.



6 Thine own mouth <06310> condemneth <07561> thee, and not I:
yea, thine own lips <08193> testify <06030> against thee.



7 [Art] thou the first <07223> man <0120> [that] was born
<03205>? or wast thou made <02342> before < 06440> the hills
<01389>?



8 Hast thou heard <08085> the secret <05475> of God <0433>? and
dost thou restrain <01639> wisdom <02451> to thyself <0413>?



9 What <04100> knowest <03045> thou, that we know <03045> not?
[what] understandest <0995> thou, which <01931> [is] not in us?



10 With us [are] both <01571> the grayheaded and very < 03453>
aged <03453> men, much <03524> elder than thy father <01>.



11 [Are] the consolations <08575> of God <0410> small <04592>
with thee? is there any secret <0328> thing <01697> with thee?



12 Why <04100> doth thine heart <03820> carry < 03947> thee
away? and what <04100> do thy eyes <05869> wink < 07335> at,



13 That thou turnest <07725> thy spirit <07307> against <0413>
God <0410>, and lettest [such] words <04405> go < 03318> out of
thy mouth <06310>?



14 What <04100> [is] man <0582>, that he should be clean
<02135>? and [he which is] born <03205> of a woman <0802>, that
he should be righteous <06662>?



15 Behold <02005>, he putteth no <03808> trust < 0539> in his
saints <06918>; yea, the heavens <08064> are not clean <02141>
in his sight <05869>.



16 How <0637> much more abominable <08581> and filthy <0444>
[is] man <0376>, which drinketh <08354> iniquity < 05766> like
water <04325>?



17. I will shew <02331> thee, hear <08085> me; and that [which]
I have seen <02372> I will declare <05608>;



18 Which <0834> wise <02450> men have told < 05046> from their
fathers <01>, and have not hid <03582> [it]:



19 Unto whom <01992> alone <0905> the earth < 0776> was given
<05414>, and no <03808> stranger <02114> passed <05674> among
<08432> them.



20 The wicked <07563> man travaileth <02342> with pain all
<03605> [his] days <03117>, and the number < 04557> of years
<08141> is hidden <06845> to the oppressor < 06184>.



21 A dreadful <06343> sound <06963> [is] in his ears <0241>: in
prosperity <07965> the destroyer <07703> shall come <0935> upon
him.



22 He believeth <0539> not that he shall return < 07725> out of
darkness <02822>, and he is waited <06822> for of the sword
<02719>.



23 He wandereth <05074> abroad <05074> for bread < 03899>,
[saying], Where <0346> [is it]? he knoweth <03045> that the day
<03117> of darkness <02822> is ready <03559> at his hand <03027>.



24 Trouble <06862> and anguish <04691> shall make him afraid
<01204>; they shall prevail <08630> against him, as a king
<04428> ready <06264> to the battle <03593>.



25 For he stretcheth <05186> out his hand <03027> against
<0413> God <0410>, and strengtheneth <01396> himself against
<0413> the Almighty <07706>.



26 He runneth <07323> upon him, [even] on [his] neck < 06677>,
upon the thick <05672> bosses <01354> of his bucklers <04043>:



27 Because <03588> he covereth <03680> his face < 06440> with
his fatness <02459>, and maketh <06213> collops < 06371> of fat
<06371> on [his] flanks <03689>.



28 And he dwelleth <07931> in desolate <03582> cities <05892>,
[and] in houses <01004> which no <03808> man inhabiteth <03427>,
which <0834> are ready <06257> to become heaps < 01530>.



29 He shall not be rich <06238>, neither <03808> shall his
substance <02428> continue <06965>, neither < 03808> shall he
prolong <05186> the perfection <04512> thereof upon the earth
<0776>.



30 He shall not depart <05493> out of darkness < 02822>; the
flame <07957> shall dry <03001> up his branches < 03127>, and by
the breath <07307> of his mouth <06310> shall he go <05493> away.



31 Let not him that is deceived <08582> trust <0539> in vanity
<07723>: for vanity <07723> shall be his recompence <08545>.



32 It shall be accomplished <04390> before <03808> his time
<03117>, and his branch <03712> shall not be green <07488>.



33 He shall shake <02554> off his unripe <01154> grape <01154>
as the vine <01612>, and shall cast <07993> off his flower
<05328> as the olive <02132>.



34 For the congregation <05712> of hypocrites <02611> [shall
be] desolate <01565>, and fire <0784> shall consume <0398> the
tabernacles <0168> of bribery <07810>.



35 They conceive <02029> mischief <05999>, and bring <03205>
forth <03205> vanity <0205>, and their belly < 0990> prepareth
<03559> deceit <04820>.



Job 16



1. Then Job <0347> answered <06030> and said < 0559>,



2 I have heard <08085> many <07227> such <0428> things:
miserable <05999> comforters <05162> [are] ye all < 03605>.



3 Shall vain <07307> words <01697> have an end < 07093>? or
<0176> what <04100> emboldeneth <04834> thee that thou answerest
<06030>?



4 I also <01571> could speak <01696> as ye [do]: if <03863>
your soul <05315> were in my soul's <05315> stead < 08478>, I
could heap <02266> up words <04405> against < 05921> you, and
shake <05128> mine head <07218> at you.



5 [But] I would strengthen <0553> you with my mouth < 06310>,
and the moving <05205> of my lips <08193> should asswage <02820>
[your grief].



6. Though <0518> I speak <01696>, my grief < 03511> is not
asswaged <02820>: and [though] I forbear <02308>, what <04100>
am I eased <01980>?



7 But now <06258> he hath made me weary <03811>: thou hast made
desolate <08074> all <03605> my company <05712>.



8 And thou hast filled <07059> me with wrinkles < 07059>,
[which] is a witness <05707> [against me]: and my leanness
<03585> rising <06965> up in me beareth <06030> witness <06030>
to my face <06440>.



9 He teareth <02963> [me] in his wrath <0639>, who hateth
<07852> me: he gnasheth <02786> upon me with his teeth <08127>;
mine enemy <06862> sharpeneth <03913> his eyes < 05869> upon me.



10 They have gaped <06473> upon me with their mouth < 06310>;
they have smitten <05221> me upon the cheek <03895>
reproachfully <02781>; they have gathered <04390> themselves
together <03162> against <05921> me.



11 God <0410> hath delivered <05462> me to the ungodly <05760>,
and turned <03399> me over <05921> into <0413> the hands <03027>
of the wicked <07563>.



12 I was at ease <07961>, but he hath broken <06565> me asunder:
he hath also taken <0247> [me] by my neck <06203>, and shaken
<06327> me to pieces, and set <06965> me up for his mark <04307>.



13 His archers <07228> compass <05437> me round < 05437> about,
he cleaveth <06398> my reins <03629> asunder, and doth not spare
<02550>; he poureth <08210> out my gall <04845> upon the ground
<0776>.



14 He breaketh <06555> me with breach <06556> upon breach
<06556>, he runneth <07323> upon me like a giant < 01368>.



15 I have sewed <08609> sackcloth <08242> upon my skin <01539>,
and defiled <05953> my horn <07161> in the dust < 06083>.



16 My face <06440> is foul <02560> with weeping < 01065>, and on
<05921> my eyelids <06079> [is] the shadow < 06757> of death
<06757>;



17. Not for [any] injustice <02555> in mine hands < 03709>: also
my prayer <08605> [is] pure <02134>.



18 O earth <0776>, cover <03680> not thou my blood <01818>, and
let my cry <02201> have <01961> no <0408> place <04725>.



19 Also <01571> now <06258>, behold <02009>, my witness <05707>
[is] in heaven <08064>, and my record <07717> [is] on high
<04791>.



20 My friends <07453> scorn <03887> me: [but] mine eye <05869>
poureth <01811> out [tears] unto God <0433>.



21 O that one might plead <03198> for a man <01397> with God
<0433>, as a man <0120> [pleadeth] for his neighbour <07453>!



22 When <03588> a few <04557> years <08141> are come <0857>,
then I shall go <01980> the way <0734> [whence] I shall not
return <07725>.



Job 17



1. My breath <07307> is corrupt <02254>, my days < 03117> are
extinct <02193>, the graves <06913> [are ready] for me.



2 [Are there] not mockers <02049> with me? and doth not mine
eye <05869> continue <03885> in their provocation < 04784>?



3 Lay <07760> down now <04994>, put me in a surety <06148> with
thee; who <04310> [is] he [that] will strike <08628> hands
<03027> with me?



4 For thou hast hid <06845> their heart <03820> from
understanding <07922>: therefore shalt thou not exalt < 07311>
[them].



5 He that speaketh <05046> flattery <02506> to [his] friends
<07453>, even the eyes <05869> of his children < 01121> shall
fail <03615>.



6 He hath made <03322> me also a byword <04914> of the people
<05971>; and aforetime <06440> I was as a tabret < 08611>.



7 Mine eye <05869> also is dim <03543> by reason of sorrow
<03708>, and all <03605> my members <03338> [are] as a shadow
<06738>.



8 Upright <03477> [men] shall be astonied <08074> at <05921>
this <02063>, and the innocent <05355> shall stir < 05782> up
himself against <05921> the hypocrite <02611>.



9 The righteous <06662> also shall hold <0270> on his way
<01870>, and he that hath clean <02891> hands < 03027> shall be
stronger <0555> and stronger <0555>.



10. But as for you all <03605>, do ye return <07725>, and come
<0935> now <04994>: for I cannot <03808> find <04672> [one] wise
<02450> [man] among you.



11 My days <03117> are past <05674>, my purposes < 02154> are
broken <05423> off, [even] the thoughts <04180> of my heart
<03824>.



12 They change <07760> the night <03915> into day <03117>: the
light <0216> [is] short <07138> because <06440> of darkness
<02822>.



13 If <0518> I wait <06960>, the grave <07585> [is] mine house
<01004>: I have made <07502> my bed <03326> in the darkness
<02822>.



14 I have said <07121> to corruption <07845>, Thou [art] my
father <01>: to the worm <07415>, [Thou art] my mother <0517>,
and my sister <0269>.



15 And where [is] now <0645> my hope <08615>? as for my hope
<08615>, who <04310> shall see <07789> it?



16 They shall go <03381> down <03381> to the bars <0905> of the
pit <07585>, when <0518> [our] rest <05183> together <03162>
[is] in the dust <06083>.



Job 18



1. Then answered <06030> Bildad <01085> the Shuhite <07747>,
and said <0559>,



2 How <05704> long <05704> [will it be ere] ye make <07760> an
end <07078> of words <04405>? mark <0995>, and afterwards <0310>
we will speak <01696>.



3 Wherefore <04069> are we counted <02803> as beasts <0929>,
[and] reputed <02804> vile <02933> in your sight < 05869>?



4 He teareth <02963> himself <05315> in his anger <0639>: shall
the earth <0776> be forsaken <05800> for thee? and shall the
rock <06697> be removed <06275> out of his place < 04725>?



5. Yea <01571>, the light <0216> of the wicked < 07563> shall be
put <01846> out, and the spark <07632> of his fire <0784> shall
not shine <05050>.



6 The light <0216> shall be dark <02821> in his tabernacle
<0168>, and his candle <05216> shall be put < 01846> out with him.



7 The steps <06806> of his strength <0202> shall be straitened
<03334>, and his own counsel <06098> shall cast < 07993> him down.



8 For he is cast <07971> into a net <07568> by his own feet
<07272>, and he walketh <01980> upon a snare < 07639>.



9 The gin <06341> shall take <0270> [him] by the heel <06119>,
[and] the robber <06782> shall prevail <02388> against <05921>
him.



10 The snare <02256> [is] laid for him in the ground < 0776>,
and a trap <04434> for him in the way <05410>.



11. Terrors <01091> shall make him afraid <01204> on every
<05437> side <05439>, and shall drive <06327> him to his feet
<07272>.



12 His strength <0202> shall be hungerbitten <07457>, and
destruction <0343> [shall be] ready <03559> at his side <06763>.



13 It shall devour <0398> the strength <0905> of his skin
<05785>: [even] the firstborn <01060> of death < 04194> shall
devour <0398> his strength <0905>.



14 His confidence <04009> shall be rooted <05423> out of his
tabernacle <0168>, and it shall bring <06805> him to the king
<04428> of terrors <01091>.



15 It shall dwell <07931> in his tabernacle <0168>, because [it
is] none <01097> of his: brimstone <01614> shall be scattered
<02219> upon his habitation <05116>.



16 His roots <08328> shall be dried <03001> up beneath <08478>,
and above <04605> shall his branch <07105> be cut < 05243> off.



17 His remembrance <02143> shall perish <06> from the earth
<0776>, and he shall have no <03808> name < 08034> in the street.



18 He shall be driven <01920> from light <0216> into darkness
<02822>, and chased <05074> out of the world < 08398>.



19 He shall neither <03808> have son <05209> nor < 03808> nephew
<05220> among his people <05971>, nor <03808> any remaining
<08300> in his dwellings <04033>.



20 They that come after <0314> [him] shall be astonied < 08074>
at <05921> his day <03117>, as they that went < 06923> before
<06931> were affrighted.



21 Surely <0389> such <0428> [are] the dwellings < 04908> of the
wicked <05767>, and this <02088> [is] the place < 04725> [of him
that] knoweth <03045> not God <0410>.



Job 19



1. Then Job <0347> answered <06030> and said < 0559>,



2 How <05704> long <05704> will ye vex <03013> my soul <05315>,
and break <01792> me in pieces with words <04405>?



3 These <02088> ten <06235> times <06471> have ye reproached
<03637> me: ye are not ashamed <0954> [that] ye make yourselves
strange <01970> to me.



4 And be it indeed <0551> [that] I have erred <07683> , mine
error <04879> remaineth <03885> with myself.



5 If <0518> indeed <0551> ye will magnify < 01431> [yourselves]
against <05921> me, and plead <03198> against < 05921> me my
reproach <02781>:



6 Know <03045> now <0645> that God <0433> hath overthrown
<05791> me, and hath compassed <05362> me with his net <04685>.



7 Behold <02005>, I cry <06817> out of wrong < 02555>, but I am
not heard <06030>: I cry <07768> aloud <07768>, but [there is]
no <03808> judgment <04941>.



8. He hath fenced <01443> up my way <0734> that I cannot
<03808> pass <05674>, and he hath set <07760> darkness <02822>
in my paths <05410>.



9 He hath stripped <06584> me of my glory <03519>, and taken
<05493> the crown <05850> [from] my head <07218> .



10 He hath destroyed <05422> me on every <05437> side <05439>,
and I am gone <03212>: and mine hope <08615> hath he removed
<05265> like a tree <06086>.



11 He hath also kindled <02734> his wrath <0639> against
<05921> me, and he counteth <02803> me unto him as [one of] his
enemies <06862>.



12 His troops <01416> come <0935> together < 03162>, and raise
<05549> up their way <01870> against <05921> me, and encamp
<02583> round <05439> about my tabernacle <0168> .



13 He hath put my brethren <0251> far <07350> from me, and mine
acquaintance <03045> are verily <0389> estranged < 02114> from me.



14 My kinsfolk <07138> have failed <02308>, and my familiar
<03045> friends have forgotten <07911> me.



15 They that dwell <01481> in mine house <01004>, and my maids
<0519>, count <02803> me for a stranger <02114>: I am an alien
<05237> in their sight <05869>.



16 I called <07121> my servant <05650>, and he gave [me] no
<03808> answer <06030>; I intreated <02603> him with my mouth
<06310>.



17 My breath <07307> is strange <02114> to my wife <0802>,
though I intreated <02589> for the children's <01121> [sake] of
mine own body <0990>.



18 Yea <01571>, young children despised <03988> me; I arose
<06965>, and they spake <01696> against me.



19 All <03605> my inward <05475> friends < 04962> abhorred
<08581> me: and they whom I loved <0157> are turned <02015>
against me.



20 My bone <06106> cleaveth <01692> to my skin < 05785> and to
my flesh <01320>, and I am escaped <04422> with the skin <05785>
of my teeth <08127>.



21 Have pity <02603> upon me, have pity <02603> upon me, O ye
my friends <07453>; for the hand <03027> of God < 0433> hath
touched <05060> me.



22 Why <04100> do ye persecute <07291> me as God < 0410>, and
are not satisfied <07646> with my flesh <01320>?



23. Oh that my words <04405> were now <0645> written <03789>!
oh that they were printed <02710> in a book <05612>!



24 That they were graven <02672> with an iron <01270> pen
<05842> and lead <05777> in the rock <06697> for ever <05703>!



25 For I know <03045> [that] my redeemer <01350> liveth <02416>,
and [that] he shall stand <06965> at the latter < 0314> [day]
upon the earth <06083>:



26 And [though] after <0310> my skin <05785> [worms] destroy
<05362> this <02063> [body], yet in my flesh < 01320> shall I see
<02372> God <0433>:



27 Whom <0834> I shall see <02372> for myself, and mine eyes
<05869> shall behold <07200>, and not another < 02114>; [though]
my reins <03629> be consumed <03615> within < 02436> me.



28 But ye should say <0559>, Why <04100> persecute <07291> we
him, seeing the root <08328> of the matter <01697> is found
<04672> in me?



29 Be ye afraid <01481> of the sword <02719>: for wrath <02534>
[bringeth] the punishments <05771> of the sword < 02719>, that ye
may know <03045> [there is] a judgment <01779>.



Job 20



1. Then answered <06030> Zophar <06691> the Naamathite <05284>,
and said <0559>,



2 Therefore <03651> do my thoughts <05587> cause me to answer
<07725>, and for [this] I make haste <02363>.



3 I have heard <08085> the check <04148> of my reproach <03639>,
and the spirit <07307> of my understanding <0998> causeth me to
answer <06030>.



4 Knowest <03045> thou [not] this <02063> of old < 05703>, since
<04480> man <0120> was placed <07760> upon earth <0776>,



5 That the triumphing <07445> of the wicked <07563> [is] short
<07138>, and the joy <08057> of the hypocrite < 02611> [but] for
a moment <07281>?



6 Though his excellency <07863> mount <05927> up to the heavens
<08064>, and his head <07218> reach <05060> unto the clouds
<05645>;



7 [Yet] he shall perish <06> for ever <05331> like his own dung
<01561>: they which have seen <07200> him shall say <0559>,
Where <0335> [is] he?



8 He shall fly <05774> away as a dream <02472>, and shall not
be found <04672>: yea, he shall be chased <05074> away as a
vision <02384> of the night <03915>.



9 The eye <05869> also [which] saw <07805> him shall [see him]
no <03808> more <03254>; neither <03808> shall his place <04725>
any more <05750> behold <07789> him.



10. His children <01121> shall seek to please <07521> the poor
<01800>, and his hands <03027> shall restore < 07725> their goods
<0202>.



11 His bones <06106> are full <04390> [of the sin] of his youth
<05934>, which shall lie <07901> down <07904> with him in the
dust <06083>.



12 Though <0518> wickedness <07451> be sweet < 04985> in his
mouth <06310>, [though] he hide <03582> it under < 08478> his
tongue <03956>;



13 [Though] he spare <02550> it, and forsake <05800> it not;
but keep <04513> it still within <08432> his mouth <02441>:



14 [Yet] his meat <03899> in his bowels <04578> is turned
<02015>, [it is] the gall <04846> of asps < 06620> within <07030>
him.



15 He hath swallowed <01104> down riches <02428>, and he shall
vomit <06958> them up again: God <0410> shall cast <03423> them
out of his belly <0990>.



16 He shall suck <03243> the poison <07219> of asps <06620>:
the viper's <0660> tongue <03956> shall slay < 02026> him.



17 He shall not see <07200> the rivers <06390>, the floods
<05104>, the brooks <05158> of honey <01706> and butter <02529>.



18 That which he laboured <03022> for shall he restore < 07725>,
and shall not swallow <01104> [it] down: according to [his]
substance <02428> [shall] the restitution <08545> [be], and he
shall not rejoice <05965> [therein].



19 Because <03588> he hath oppressed <07533> [and] hath
forsaken <05800> the poor <01800>; [because] he hath violently
<01497> taken <01497> away <01497> an house < 01004> which he
builded <01129> not;



20 Surely <03588> he shall not feel <03045> quietness <07961>
in his belly <0990>, he shall not save <04422> of that which he
desired <02530>.



21 There shall none <0369> of his meat <0400> be left <08300>;
therefore shall no <03808> man look <02342> for his goods
<02898>.



22 In the fulness <04390> of his sufficiency <05607> he shall
be in straits <03334>: every <03605> hand < 03027> of the wicked
<06001> shall come <0935> upon him.



23. [When] he is about to fill <04390> his belly < 0990>, [God]
shall cast <07971> the fury <02740> of his wrath < 0639> upon him,
and shall rain <04305> [it] upon him while he is eating <03894>.



24 He shall flee <01272> from the iron <01270> weapon <05402>,
[and] the bow <07198> of steel <05154> shall strike <02498> him
through.



25 It is drawn <08025>, and cometh <03318> out of the body
<01465>; yea, the glittering <01300> sword < 01300> cometh
<01980> out of his gall <04846>: terrors <0367> [are] upon him.



26 All <03605> darkness <02822> [shall be] hid < 02244> in his
secret <06845> places: a fire <0784> not blown < 05301> shall
consume <0398> him; it shall go ill <03415> with him that is
left <08300> in his tabernacle <0168>.



27 The heaven <08064> shall reveal <01540> his iniquity <05771>;
and the earth <0776> shall rise <06965> up against him.



28 The increase <02981> of his house <01004> shall depart
<01540>, [and his goods] shall flow <05064> away in the day
<03117> of his wrath <0639>.



29 This <02088> [is] the portion <02506> of a wicked <07563>
man <0120> from God <0430>, and the heritage < 05159> appointed
<0561> unto him by God <0410>.



Job 21



1. But Job <0347> answered <06030> and said < 0559>,



2 Hear <08085> diligently my speech <04405>, and let this
<02063> be your consolations <08575>.



3 Suffer <05375> me that I may speak <01696>; and after <0310>
that I have spoken <01696>, mock <03932> on.



4 As for me, [is] my complaint <07878> to man <0120> ? and if
<0518> [it were so], why <04069> should not my spirit <07307> be
troubled <07114>?



5 Mark <06437> me, and be astonished <08074>, and lay <07760>
[your] hand <03027> upon [your] mouth <06310>.



6 Even when <0518> I remember <02142> I am afraid <0926>, and
trembling <06427> taketh <0270> hold <0270> on my flesh <01320>.



7. Wherefore <04069> do the wicked <07563> live < 02421>, become
<06275> old <06275>, yea <01571>, are mighty <01396> in power
<02428>?



8 Their seed <02233> is established <03559> in their sight
<06440> with them, and their offspring <06631> before their eyes
<05869>.



9 Their houses <01004> [are] safe <07965> from fear <06343>,
neither <03808> [is] the rod <07626> of God < 0433> upon them.



10 Their bull <07794> gendereth <05674>, and faileth <01602>
not; their cow <06510> calveth <06403>, and casteth <07921> not
her calf.



11 They send <07971> forth their little <05759> ones like a
flock <06629>, and their children <03206> dance < 07540>.



12 They take <05375> the timbrel <08596> and harp <03658>, and
rejoice <08055> at the sound <06963> of the organ < 05748>.



13 They spend <03615> their days <03117> in wealth <02896>, and
in a moment <07281> go <05181> down <05181> to the grave <07585>.



14 Therefore they say <0559> unto God <0410>, Depart <05493>
from us; for we desire <02654> not the knowledge < 01847> of thy
ways <01870>.



15 What <04100> [is] the Almighty <07706>, that we should serve
<05647> him? and what <04100> profit <03276> should we have, if
we pray <06293> unto him?



16 Lo <02005>, their good <02898> [is] not in their hand
<03027>: the counsel <06098> of the wicked < 07563> is far
<07350> from me.



17. How <04100> oft is the candle <05216> of the wicked <07563>
put <01846> out! and [how oft] cometh <0935> their destruction
<0343> upon them! [God] distributeth <02505> sorrows <02256> in
his anger <0639>.



18 They are as stubble <08401> before <06440> the wind <07307>,
and as chaff <04671> that the storm <05492> carrieth <01589>
away <01589>.



19 God <0433> layeth <06845> up his iniquity < 0205> for his
children <01121>: he rewardeth <07999> him, and he shall know
<03045> [it].



20 His eyes <05869> shall see <07200> his destruction <03589>,
and he shall drink <08354> of the wrath <02534> of the Almighty
<07706>.



21 For what <04100> pleasure <02656> [hath] he in his house
<01004> after <0310> him, when the number < 04557> of his months
<02320> is cut <02686> off in the midst <02686>?



22 Shall [any] teach <03925> God <0410> knowledge <01847>?
seeing he judgeth <08199> those that are high <07311>.



23 One dieth <04191> in his full <08537> strength <06106>,
being wholly <03605> at ease <07946> and quiet < 07961>.



24 His breasts <05845> are full <04390> of milk < 02461>, and
his bones <06106> are moistened <08248> with marrow <04221>.



25 And another <02088> dieth <04191> in the bitterness <04751>
of his soul <05315>, and never <03808> eateth < 0398> with
pleasure <02896>.



26 They shall lie <07901> down <07904> alike < 03162> in the
dust <06083>, and the worms <07415> shall cover < 03680> them.



27. Behold <02005>, I know <03045> your thoughts < 04284>, and
the devices <04209> [which] ye wrongfully <02554> imagine
<02554> against <05921> me.



28 For ye say <0559>, Where <0346> [is] the house <01004> of
the prince <05081>? and where <0346> [are] the dwelling <04908>
places <0168> of the wicked <07563>?



29 Have ye not asked <07592> them that go <05674> by the way
<01870>? and do ye not know <05234> their tokens < 0226>,



30 That the wicked <07451> is reserved <02820> to the day
<03117> of destruction <0343>? they shall be brought <02986>
forth to the day <03117> of wrath <05678>.



31 Who <04310> shall declare <05046> his way < 01870> to his
face <06440>? and who <04310> shall repay < 07999> him [what] he
hath done <06213>?



32 Yet shall he be brought <02986> to the grave < 06913>, and
shall remain <08245> in the tomb <01430>.



33 The clods <07263> of the valley <05158> shall be sweet
<04985> unto him, and every <03605> man <0120> shall draw
<04900> after <0310> him, as [there are] innumerable before
<06440> him.



34 How <0349> then comfort <05162> ye me in vain < 01892>,
seeing in your answers <08666> there remaineth <07604> falsehood
<04604>?



Job 22



1. Then Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <08489> answered <06030>
and said <0559>,



2 Can a man <01397> be profitable <05532> unto God <0410>, as
he that is wise <07919> may be profitable <05532> unto himself?



3 [Is it] any pleasure <02656> to the Almighty < 07706>, that
thou art righteous <06663>? or [is it] gain <01214> [to him],
that thou makest thy ways <01870> perfect <08552>?



4 Will he reprove <03198> thee for fear <03374> of thee? will
he enter <0935> with thee into judgment <04941>?



5. [Is] not thy wickedness <07451> great <07227>? and thine
iniquities <05771> infinite?



6 For thou hast taken <02254> a pledge <02254> from thy brother
<0251> for nought <02600>, and stripped <06584> the naked
<06174> of their clothing <0899>.



7 Thou hast not given water <04325> to the weary < 05889> to
drink <08248>, and thou hast withholden <04513> bread <03899>
from the hungry <07456>.



8 But [as for] the mighty <02220> man <0376>, he had the earth
<0776>; and the honourable man dwelt <03427> in it.



9 Thou hast sent <07971> widows <0490> away empty <07387>, and
the arms <02220> of the fatherless <03490> have been broken
<01792>.



10 Therefore snares <06341> [are] round <05439> about thee, and
sudden <06597> fear <06343> troubleth <0926> thee;



11 Or <0176> darkness <02822>, [that] thou canst not see
<07200>; and abundance <08229> of waters <04325> cover <03680>
thee.



12 [Is] not God <0433> in the height <01363> of heaven <08064>?
and behold <07200> the height <07218> of the stars <03556>, how
<03588> high <07311> they are!



13 And thou sayest <0559>, How <04100> doth God < 0410> know
<03045>? can he judge <08199> through the dark < 06205> cloud
<06205>?



14 Thick clouds <05645> [are] a covering <05643> to him, that
he seeth <07200> not; and he walketh <01980> in the circuit
<02329> of heaven <08064>.



15. Hast thou marked <08104> the old <05769> way < 0734> which
<0834> wicked <0205> men <04962> have trodden <01869>?



16 Which <0834> were cut <07059> down out of time <06256>,
whose foundation <03247> was overflown <03332> with a flood
<05104>:



17 Which said <0559> unto God <0410>, Depart < 05493> from us:
and what <04100> can the Almighty <07706> do < 06466> for them?



18 Yet he filled <04390> their houses <01004> with good <02896>
[things]: but the counsel <06098> of the wicked < 07563> is far
<07350> from me.



19 The righteous <06662> see <07200> [it], and are glad <08056>:
and the innocent <05355> laugh <03932> them to scorn.



20 Whereas <0518> our substance <07009> is not cut <03582> down,
but the remnant <03499> of them the fire <0784> consumeth
<0398>.



21. Acquaint <05532> now <04994> thyself with him, and be at
peace <07999>: thereby good <02896> shall come < 0935> unto thee.



22 Receive <03947>, I pray <04994> thee, the law < 08451> from
his mouth <06310>, and lay <07760> up his words < 0561> in thine
heart <03824>.



23 If <0518> thou return <07725> to the Almighty < 07706>, thou
shalt be built <01129> up, thou shalt put away <07368> iniquity
<05766> far <07350> from thy tabernacles <0168>.



24 Then shalt thou lay <07896> up gold <01220> as dust <06083>,
and the [gold <01220>] of Ophir <0211> as the stones <06697> of
the brooks <05158>.



25 Yea, the Almighty <07706> shall be thy defence < 01220>, and
thou shalt have plenty <08443> of silver <03701>.



26 For then <0227> shalt thou have thy delight < 06026> in the
Almighty <07706>, and shalt lift <05375> up thy face <06440>
unto God <0433>.



27 Thou shalt make thy prayer <06279> unto him, and he shall
hear <08085> thee, and thou shalt pay <07999> thy vows <05088>.



28 Thou shalt also decree <01504> a thing <0562>, and it shall
be established <06965> unto thee: and the light <0216> shall
shine <05050> upon thy ways <01870>.



29 When <03588> [men] are cast <08213> down < 08213>, then thou
shalt say <0559>, [There is] lifting <01466> up; and he shall
save <03467> the humble person.



30 He shall deliver <04422> the island <0336> of the innocent
<05355>: and it is delivered <04422> by the pureness <01252> of
thine hands <03709>.



Job 23



1. Then Job <0347> answered <06030> and said < 0559>,



2 Even <01571> to day <03117> [is] my complaint < 07878> bitter
<04805>: my stroke <03027> is heavier <03513> than <05921> my
groaning <0585>.



3 Oh that I knew <03045> where I might find <04672> him! [that]
I might come <0935> [even] to his seat <08499>!



4 I would order <06186> [my] cause <04941> before <06440> him,
and fill <04390> my mouth <06310> with arguments < 08433>.



5 I would know <03045> the words <04405> [which] he would
answer <06030> me, and understand <0995> what < 04100> he would
say <0559> unto me.



6 Will he plead <07378> against <05978> me with [his] great
<07227> power <03581>? No <03808>; but he would put <07760>
[strength] in me.



7 There <08033> the righteous <03477> might dispute <03198>
with him; so should I be delivered <06403> for ever < 05331> from
my judge <08199>.



8. Behold <02005>, I go <01980> forward <06924> , but he [is]
not [there <08033>]; and backward <0268>, but I cannot <03808>
perceive <03045> him:



9 On the left <08040> hand <08040>, where he doth work <06213>,
but I cannot <03808> behold <02372> [him]: he hideth <05848>
himself on the right <03225> hand <03225>, that I cannot <03808>
see <07200> [him]:



10 But he knoweth <03045> the way <01870> that I take <05978>:
[when] he hath tried <0974> me, I shall come <03318> forth
<03318> as gold <02091>.



11 My foot <07272> hath held <0270> his steps < 0838>, his way
<01870> have I kept <08104>, and not declined < 05186>.



12 Neither <03808> have I gone <04185> back < 04185> from the
commandment <04687> of his lips <08193>; I have esteemed <06845>
the words <0561> of his mouth <06310> more than my necessary
<02706> [food].



13. But he [is] in one <0259> [mind], and who <04310> can turn
<07725> him? and [what] his soul <05315> desireth < 0183>, even
[that] he doeth <06213>.



14 For he performeth <07999> [the thing that is] appointed
<02706> for me: and many <07227> such <02007> [things are] with
him.



15 Therefore am I troubled <0926> at his presence < 06440>: when
I consider <0995>, I am afraid <06342> of him.



16 For God <0410> maketh my heart <03820> soft < 07401>, and the
Almighty <07706> troubleth <0926> me:



17 Because <03588> I was not cut <06780> off before <06440> the
darkness <02822>, [neither] hath he covered <03680> the darkness
<0652> from my face <06440>.



Job 24



1. Why <04069>, seeing <07200> times <06256> are not hidden
<06845> from the Almighty <07706>, do they that know <05234> him
not see <02372> his days <03117>?



2 [Some] remove <05472> the landmarks <01367>; they violently
<01497> take <01497> away flocks <05739>, and feed <07462>
[thereof].



3 They drive <05090> away the ass <02543> of the fatherless
<03490>, they take <02254> the widow's <0490> ox <07794> for a
pledge <02254>.



4 They turn <05186> the needy <034> out of the way <01870>: the
poor <06035> of the earth <0776> hide <02244> themselves
together <03162>.



5 Behold <02005>, [as] wild <06501> asses < 06501> in the desert
<04057>, go <03318> they forth <03318> to their work <06467>;
rising <07836> betimes <07836> for a prey < 02964>: the
wilderness <06160> [yieldeth] food <03899> for them [and] for
[their] children <05288>.



6 They reap <07114> [every one] his corn <01098> in the field
<07704>: and they gather <03953> the vintage < 03754> of the
wicked <07563>.



7 They cause the naked <06174> to lodge <03885> without <01097>
clothing <03830>, that [they have] no <0369> covering <03682> in
the cold <07135>.



8 They are wet <07372> with the showers <02230> of the
mountains <02022>, and embrace <02263> the rock < 06697> for want
<01097> of a shelter <04268>.



9 They pluck <01497> the fatherless <03490> from the breast
<07699>, and take <02254> a pledge <02254> of the poor <06041>.



10 They cause [him] to go <01980> naked <06174> without <01097>
clothing <03830>, and they take <05375> away the sheaf <06016>
[from] the hungry <07456>;



11 [Which] make oil <06671> within <0996> their walls <07791>,
[and] tread <01869> [their] winepresses <03342>, and suffer
thirst <06770>.



12 Men <04962> groan <05008> from out of the city <05892>, and
the soul <05315> of the wounded <02491> crieth < 07768> out: yet
God <0433> layeth <07760> not folly <08604> [to them].



13. They are of those that rebel <04775> against the light
<0216>; they know <05234> not the ways <01870> thereof, nor
<03808> abide <03427> in the paths <05410> thereof.



14 The murderer <07523> rising <07925> with the light <0216>
killeth <06991> the poor <06041> and needy <034> , and in the
night <03915> is as a thief <01590>.



15 The eye <05869> also of the adulterer <05003> waiteth
<08104> for the twilight <05399>, saying <0559>, No <03808> eye
<05869> shall see <07789> me: and disguiseth < 05643> [his] face
<06440>.



16 In the dark <02822> they dig <02864> through < 02864> houses
<01004>, [which] they had marked <02856> for themselves in the
daytime <03119>: they know <03045> not the light < 0216>.



17 For the morning <01242> [is] to them even as the shadow
<06757> of death <06757>: if <03588> [one] know <05234> [them,
they are in] the terrors <01091> of the shadow <06757> of death
<06757>.



18. He [is] swift <07031> as the waters <04325>; their portion
<02513> is cursed <07043> in the earth <0776>: he beholdeth
<06437> not the way <01870> of the vineyards < 03754>.



19 Drought <06723> and heat <02527> consume < 01497> the snow
<07950> waters <04325>: [so doth] the grave < 07585> [those
which] have sinned <02398>.



20 The womb <07358> shall forget <07911> him; the worm <07415>
shall feed sweetly <04988> on him; he shall be no < 03808> more
<05750> remembered <02142>; and wickedness < 05766> shall be
broken <07665> as a tree <06086>.



21 He evil <07462> entreateth the barren <06135> [that] beareth
<03205> not: and doeth not good <03190> to the widow <0490>.



22 He draweth <04900> also the mighty <047> with his power
<03581>: he riseth <06965> up, and no <03808> [man] is sure
<0539> of life <02416>.



23 [Though] it be given <05414> him [to be] in safety < 0983>,
whereon he resteth <08172>; yet his eyes <05869> [are] upon
their ways <01870>.



24 They are exalted <07426> for a little <04592> while, but are
gone <0369> and brought <04355> low <04355>; they are taken
<07092> out of the way <01870> as all <03605> [other], and cut
<05243> off as the tops <07218> of the ears < 07641> of corn.



25 And if <0518> [it be] not [so] now <0645>, who <04310> will
make <07760> me a liar <03576>, and make <07760> my speech
<04405> nothing <0408> worth?



Job 25



1. Then answered <06030> Bildad <01085> the Shuhite <07747>,
and said <0559>,



2 Dominion <04910> and fear <06343> [are] with him, he maketh
<06213> peace <07965> in his high <04791> places.



3 Is there any number <04557> of his armies <01416>? and upon
whom <04310> doth not his light <0216> arise < 06965>?



4 How <04100> then can man <0582> be justified < 06663> with God
<0410>? or how <04100> can he be clean <02135> [that is] born
<03205> of a woman <0802>?



5 Behold <02005> even to the moon <03394>, and it shineth
<0166> not; yea, the stars <03556> are not pure < 02141> in his
sight <05869>.



6 How <0637> much <0637> less man <0582>, [that is] a worm
<07415>? and the son <01121> of man <0120>, [which is] a worm
<08438>?



Job 26



1. But Job <0347> answered <06030> and said < 0559>,



2 How <04100> hast thou helped <05826> [him that is] without
<03808> power <03581>? [how] savest <03467> thou the arm <02220>
[that hath] no <03808> strength <02797>?



3 How <04100> hast thou counselled <03289> [him that hath] no
<03808> wisdom <02451>? and [how] hast thou plentifully <07230>
declared <03045> the thing as it is?



4 To whom <04310> hast thou uttered <05046> words <04405>? and
whose <04310> spirit <05397> came <03318> from thee?



5. Dead <07496> [things] are formed <02342> from under <08478>
the waters <04325>, and the inhabitants <07934> thereof.



6 Hell <07585> [is] naked <06174> before < 06440> him, and
destruction <011> hath no <0369> covering < 03682>.



7 He stretcheth <05186> out the north <06828> over <05921> the
empty <08414> place <08414>, [and] hangeth < 08518> the earth
<0776> upon nothing <01099>.



8 He bindeth <06887> up the waters <04325> in his thick clouds
<05645>; and the cloud <06051> is not rent < 01234> under <05921>
them.



9 He holdeth <0270> back the face <06440> of his throne <03678>,
[and] spreadeth <06576> his cloud <06051> upon it.



10 He hath compassed <02328> the waters <04325> with bounds
<02706>, until <05704> the day <0216> and night <02822> come to
an end <08503>.



11 The pillars <05982> of heaven <08064> tremble < 07322> and
are astonished <08539> at his reproof <01606>.



12 He divideth <07280> the sea <03220> with his power <03581>,
and by his understanding <08394> he smiteth <04272> through the
proud <07293>.



13 By his spirit <07307> he hath garnished <08235> the heavens
<08064>; his hand <03027> hath formed <02342> the crooked
<01281> serpent <05175>.



14 Lo <02005>, these <0428> [are] parts <07098> of his ways
<01870>: but how <04100> little <08102> a portion <01697> is
heard <08085> of him? but the thunder <07482> of his power
<01369> who <04310> can understand <0995>?



Job 27



1. Moreover Job <0347> continued <03254> his parable <04912>,
and said <0559>,



2 [As] God <0410> liveth <02416>, [who] hath taken <05493> away
<05493> my judgment <04941>; and the Almighty < 07706>, [who]
hath vexed <04843> my soul <05315>;



3 All <03605> the while <05750> my breath < 05397> [is] in me,
and the spirit <07307> of God <0433> [is] in my nostrils <0639>;



4 My lips <08193> shall not speak <01696> wickedness <05766>,
nor <0518> my tongue <03956> utter <01897> deceit <07423>.



5 God forbid <02486> that I should justify <06663> you: till
<05704> I die <01478> I will not remove <05493> mine integrity
<08538> from me.



6 My righteousness <06666> I hold <02388> fast, and will not
let it go <07503>: my heart <03824> shall not reproach <02778>
[me] so <03605> long <03117> as I live <03117>.



7. Let mine enemy <0341> be as the wicked <07563>, and he that
riseth <06965> up against me as the unrighteous < 05767>.



8 For what <04100> [is] the hope <08615> of the hypocrite
<02611>, though <03588> he hath gained <01214>, when <03588> God
<0433> taketh <07953> away <07953> his soul < 05315>?



9 Will God <0401> hear <08085> his cry <06818> when <03588>
trouble <06869> cometh <0935> upon him?



10 Will he delight <06026> himself in the Almighty < 07706>?
will he always call <07121> upon God <0433>?



11. I will teach <03384> you by the hand <03027> of God <0410>:
[that] which <0834> [is] with the Almighty <07706> will I not
conceal <03582>.



12 Behold <02005>, all <03605> ye yourselves have seen <02372>
[it]; why <04100> then are ye thus <02088> altogether vain
<01891>?



13 This <02088> [is] the portion <02506> of a wicked <07563>
man <0120> with God <0410>, and the heritage < 05159> of
oppressors <06184>, [which] they shall receive <03947> of the
Almighty <07706>.



14 If <0518> his children <01121> be multiplied < 07235>, [it
is] for the sword <02719>: and his offspring <06631> shall not
be satisfied <07646> with bread <03899>.



15 Those that remain <08300> of him shall be buried < 06912> in
death <04194>: and his widows <0490> shall not weep <01058>.



16 Though <0518> he heap <06651> up silver < 03701> as the dust
<06083>, and prepare <03559> raiment <04403> as the clay <02563>;



17 He may prepare <03559> [it], but the just <06662> shall put
<03847> [it] on, and the innocent <05355> shall divide <02505>
the silver <03701>.



18 He buildeth <01129> his house <01004> as a moth <06211>, and
as a booth <05521> [that] the keeper <05341> maketh <06213>.



19 The rich <06223> man shall lie <07901> down < 07901>, but he
shall not be gathered <0622>: he openeth <06491> his eyes
<05869>, and he [is] not.



20 Terrors <01091> take <05381> hold <05381> on him as waters
<04325>, a tempest <05492> stealeth <01589> him away in the
night <03915>.



21 The east <06921> wind carrieth <05375> him away, and he
departeth <03212>: and as a storm hurleth <08175> him out of his
place <04725>.



22 For [God] shall cast <07993> upon him, and not spare <02550>:
he would fain <01272> flee <01272> out of his hand <03027>.



23 [Men] shall clap <05606> their hands <03709> at <05921> him,
and shall hiss <08319> him out of his place <04725>.



Job 28



1. Surely <03588> there is a vein <04161> for the silver
<03701>, and a place <04725> for gold <02091> [where] they fine
<02212> [it].



2 Iron <01270> is taken <03947> out of the earth < 06083>, and
brass <05154> [is] molten <06694> [out of] the stone <068>.



3 He setteth <07760> an end <07093> to darkness < 02822>, and
searcheth <02713> out all <03605> perfection < 08503>: the stones
<068> of darkness <0652>, and the shadow <06757> of death
<06757>.



4 The flood <05158> breaketh <06555> out from the inhabitant
<01481>; [even the waters] forgotten <07911> of the foot <07272>:
they are dried <01809> up, they are gone <05128> away from men
<0582>.



5 [As for] the earth <0776>, out of it cometh <03318> bread
<03899>: and under <08478> it is turned <02015> up as it were
fire <0784>.



6 The stones <068> of it [are] the place <04725> of sapphires
<05601>: and it hath dust <06083> of gold < 02091>.



7 [There is] a path <05410> which no <03808> fowl <05861>
knoweth <03045>, and which the vulture's <0344> eye <05869> hath
not seen <07805>:



8 The lion's <07830> whelps <01121> have not trodden <01869> it,
nor <03808> the fierce <07826> lion <07826> passed <05710> by
it.



9 He putteth <07971> forth <07971> his hand < 03027> upon the
rock <02496>; he overturneth <02015> the mountains <02022> by
the roots <08328>.



10 He cutteth <01234> out rivers <02975> among the rocks
<06697>; and his eye <05869> seeth <07200> every <03605>
precious <03366> thing.



11 He bindeth <02280> the floods <05104> from overflowing
<01065>; and [the thing that is] hid <08587> bringeth <03318> he
forth <03318> to light <0216>.



12 But where <0370> shall wisdom <02451> be found <04672>? and
where [is] the place <04725> of understanding <0998>?



13 Man <0582> knoweth <03045> not the price < 06187> thereof;
neither <03808> is it found <04672> in the land < 0776> of the
living <02416>.



14. The depth <08415> saith <0559>, It [is] not in me: and the
sea <03220> saith <0559>, [It is] not with me.



15 It cannot <03808> be gotten <05414> for gold < 05458>,
neither <03808> shall silver <03701> be weighed < 08254> [for]
the price <04242> thereof.



16 It cannot <03808> be valued <05541> with the gold <03800> of
Ophir <0211>, with the precious <03368> onyx < 07718>, or the
sapphire <05601>.



17 The gold <02091> and the crystal <02137> cannot <03808>
equal <06186> it: and the exchange <08545> of it [shall not be
for] jewels <03627> of fine gold <06337>.



18 No <03808> mention <02142> shall be made of coral <07215>,
or of pearls <01378>: for the price <04901> of wisdom <02451>
[is] above rubies <06443>.



19 The topaz <06357> of Ethiopia <03568> shall not equal
<06186> it, neither <03808> shall it be valued < 05541> with pure
<02889> gold <03800>.



20. Whence <0370> then cometh <0935> wisdom < 02451>? and where
<0335> [is] the place <04725> of understanding < 0998>?



21 Seeing it is hid <05956> from the eyes <05869> of all
<03605> living <02416>, and kept <05641> close <05641> from the
fowls <05775> of the air <08064>.



22 Destruction <011> and death <04194> say < 0559>, We have
heard <08085> the fame <08088> thereof with our ears <0241>.



23 God <0430> understandeth <0995> the way < 01870> thereof, and
he knoweth <03045> the place <04725> thereof.



24 For he looketh <05027> to the ends <07098> of the earth
<0776>, [and] seeth <07200> under <08478> the whole <03605>
heaven <08064>;



25 To make <06213> the weight <04948> for the winds <07307>;
and he weigheth <08505> the waters <04325> by measure <04060>.



26 When he made <06213> a decree <02706> for the rain <04306>,
and a way <01870> for the lightning <02385> of the thunder
<06963>:



27 Then <0227> did he see <07200> it, and declare <05608> it;
he prepared <03559> it, yea <01571>, and searched < 02713> it out.



28 And unto man <0120> he said <0559>, Behold < 02005>, the fear
<03374> of the Lord <0136>, that [is] wisdom < 02451>; and to
depart <05493> from evil <07451> [is] understanding <0998>.



Job 29



1. Moreover Job <0347> continued <03254> his parable <04912>,
and said <0559>,



2 Oh that I were as [in] months <03391> past <06924>, as [in]
the days <03117> [when] God <0433> preserved < 08104> me;



3 When his candle <05216> shined <01984> upon my head <07218>,
[and when] by his light <0216> I walked <03212> [through]
darkness <02822>;



4 As I was in the days <03117> of my youth <02779>, when the
secret <05475> of God <0433> [was] upon my tabernacle <0168>;



5 When <05750> the Almighty <07706> [was] yet < 05750> with me,
[when] my children <05288> [were] about <05439> me;



6 When I washed <07364> my steps <01978> with butter <02529>,
and the rock <06697> poured <06694> me out rivers < 06388> of oil
<08081>;



7. When I went <03318> out to the gate <08179> through <05921>
the city <07176>, [when] I prepared <03559> my seat <04186> in
the street <07339>!



8 The young <05288> men saw <07200> me, and hid < 02244>
themselves: and the aged <02205> arose <06965>, [and] stood
<05975> up.



9 The princes <08269> refrained <06113> talking < 04405>, and
laid <07760> [their] hand <03709> on their mouth < 06310>.



10 The nobles <05057> held <02244> their peace < 06963>, and
their tongue <03956> cleaved <01692> to the roof < 02441> of
their mouth <02441>.



11 When <03588> the ear <0241> heard <08085> [me], then it
blessed <0833> me; and when the eye <05869> saw < 07200> [me], it
gave witness <05749> to me:



12 Because <03588> I delivered <04422> the poor < 06041> that
cried <07768>, and the fatherless <03490>, and [him that had]
none <03808> to help <05826> him.



13 The blessing <01293> of him that was ready to perish <06>
came <0935> upon me: and I caused the widow's <0490> heart
<03820> to sing <07442> for joy <07442>.



14 I put <03847> on righteousness <06664>, and it clothed
<03847> me: my judgment <04941> [was] as a robe < 04598> and a
diadem <06797>.



15 I was eyes <05869> to the blind <05787>, and feet <07272>
[was] I to the lame <06455>.



16 I [was] a father <01> to the poor <034>: and the cause
<07379> [which] I knew <03045> not I searched < 02713> out.



17 And I brake <07665> the jaws <04973> of the wicked <05767>,
and plucked <07993> the spoil <02964> out of his teeth <08127>.



18. Then I said <0559>, I shall die <01478> in my nest <07064>,
and I shall multiply <07235> [my] days <03117> as the sand
<02344>.



19 My root <08328> [was] spread <06605> out by the waters
<04325>, and the dew <02919> lay <03885> all <03885> night upon
my branch <07105>.



20 My glory <03519> [was] fresh <02319> in me, and my bow
<07198> was renewed <02498> in my hand <03027>.



21 Unto me [men] gave ear <08085>, and waited <03176> , and kept
silence <01826> at <03926> my counsel <06098>.



22 After <0310> my words <01697> they spake not again <03138>;
and my speech <04405> dropped <05197> upon them.



23 And they waited <03176> for me as for the rain < 04306>; and
they opened <06473> their mouth <06310> wide [as] for the latter
<04456> rain <04456>.



24 [If] I laughed <07832> on <0413> them, they believed <0539>
[it] not; and the light <0216> of my countenance < 06440> they
cast <05307> not down <05307>.



25 I chose <0977> out their way <01870>, and sat < 03427> chief
<07218>, and dwelt <07931> as a king <04428> in the army <01416>,
as one [that] comforteth <05162> the mourners <057>.



Job 30



1. But now <06258> [they that are] younger than I have me in
derision <07832>, whose <0834> fathers <01> I would have
disdained <03988> to have set <07896> with the dogs <03611> of
my flock <06629>.



2 Yea <01571>, whereto <04100> [might] the strength <03581> of
their hands <03027> [profit] me, in whom <05921> old age <03624>
was perished <06>?



3 For want <02639> and famine <03720> [they were] solitary
<01565>; fleeing <06207> into the wilderness < 06723> in former
<0570> time <0570> desolate <07722> and waste <04875>.



4 Who cut <06998> up mallows <04408> by the bushes <07880>, and
juniper <07574> roots <08328> [for] their meat < 03899>.



5 They were driven <01644> forth from among <01460> [men],
(they cried <07321> after <05921> them as [after < 05921>] a
thief <01590>;)



6 To dwell <07931> in the clifts <06178> of the valleys <05158>,
[in] caves <02356> of the earth <06083>, and [in] the rocks
<03710>.



7 Among <0996> the bushes <07880> they brayed < 05101>; under
<08478> the nettles <02738> they were gathered < 05596> together.



8 [They were] children <01121> of fools <05036>, yea <01571>,
children <01121> of base men: they were viler <05217> than
<04480> the earth <0776>.



9 And now <06258> am I their song <05058>, yea, I am their
byword <04405>.



10 They abhor <08581> me, they flee <07368> far < 07350> from me,
and spare <02820> not to spit <07536> in my face < 06440>.



11 Because <03588> he hath loosed <06605> my cord <03499>, and
afflicted <06031> me, they have also let loose <07971> the
bridle <07448> before <06440> me.



12 Upon [my] right <03225> [hand <03225>] rise < 06965> the
youth <06526>; they push <07971> away my feet < 07272>, and they
raise <05549> up against <05921> me the ways < 0734> of their
destruction <0343>.



13 They mar <05420> my path <05410>, they set forward <03276>
my calamity <01942>, they have no <03808> helper < 05826>.



14 They came <0857> [upon me] as a wide <07342> breaking
<06556> in [of waters]: in the desolation <07722> they rolled
<01556> themselves [upon me].



15. Terrors <01091> are turned <02015> upon me: they pursue
<07291> my soul <05082> as the wind <07307>: and my welfare
<03444> passeth <05674> away as a cloud <05645>.



16 And now <06258> my soul <05315> is poured < 08210> out upon
me; the days <03117> of affliction <06040> have taken <0270>
hold <0270> upon me.



17 My bones <06106> are pierced <05365> in me in the night
<03915> season: and my sinews <06207> take < 07901> no <03808>
rest <07901>.



18 By the great <07227> force <03581> [of my disease] is my
garment <03830> changed <02664>: it bindeth < 0247> me about
<0247> as the collar <06310> of my coat <03801>.



19 He hath cast <03384> me into the mire <02563>, and I am
become <04911> like <04911> dust <06083> and ashes <0665>.



20 I cry <07768> unto thee, and thou dost not hear < 06030> me:
I stand <05975> up, and thou regardest <0995> me [not].



21 Thou art become <02015> cruel <0393> to me: with thy strong
<06108> hand <03027> thou opposest <07852> thyself against me.



22 Thou liftest <05375> me up to the wind <07307>; thou causest
me to ride <07392> [upon it], and dissolvest <04127> my
substance <07738>.



23 For I know <03045> [that] thou wilt bring <07725> me [to]
death <04194>, and [to] the house <01004> appointed <04150> for
all <03605> living <02416>.



24 Howbeit he will not stretch <07971> out [his] hand < 03027>
to the grave <01164>, though <0518> they cry < 07769> in his
destruction <06365>.



25 Did not I weep <01058> for him that was in trouble? was
[not] my soul <05315> grieved <05701> for the poor <034>?



26 When <03588> I looked <06960> for good < 02896>, then evil
<07451> came <0935> [unto me]: and when I waited < 03176> for
light <0216>, there came <0935> darkness <0652>.



27 My bowels <04578> boiled <07570>, and rested < 01826> not:
the days <03117> of affliction <06040> prevented < 06923> me.



28 I went <01980> mourning <06937> without < 03808> the sun
<02535>: I stood <06965> up, [and] I cried < 07768> in the
congregation <06951>.



29 I am a brother <0251> to dragons <08577>, and a companion
<07453> to owls.



30 My skin <05785> is black <07835> upon me, and my bones
<06106> are burned <02787> with heat <02721>.



31 My harp <03658> also is [turned] to mourning <060> , and my
organ <05748> into the voice <06963> of them that weep <01058>.



Job 31



1. I made <03772> a covenant <01285> with mine eyes <05869>;
why <04100> then should I think <0995> upon a maid <01330>?



2 For what <04100> portion <02506> of God < 0433> [is there]
from above <04605>? and [what] inheritance <05159> of the
Almighty <07706> from on high <04791>?



3 [Is] not destruction <0343> to the wicked <05767>? and a
strange <05235> [punishment] to the workers <06466> of iniquity
<0205>?



4 Doth not he see <07200> my ways <01870>, and count <05608>
all <03605> my steps <06806>?



5 If <0518> I have walked <01980> with vanity < 07723>, or if my
foot <07272> hath hasted <02363> to deceit < 04820>;



6 Let me be weighed <08254> in an even <06664> balance <03976>,
that God <0433> may know <03045> mine integrity < 08538>.



7 If <0518> my step <0838> hath turned <05186> out of the way
<01870>, and mine heart <03820> walked <01980> after <0310> mine
eyes <05869>, and if any blot <03971> hath cleaved <01692> to
mine hands <03709>;



8 [Then] let me sow <02232>, and let another <0312> eat <0398>;
yea, let my offspring <06631> be rooted <08327> out.



9. If <0518> mine heart <03820> have been deceived <06601> by a
woman <0802>, or [if] I have laid wait <0693> at < 05921> my
neighbour's <07453> door <06607>;



10 [Then] let my wife <0802> grind <02912> unto another <0312>,
and let others <0312> bow <03766> down <03766> upon her.



11 For this <01931> [is] an heinous <02154> crime <02154>; yea,
it [is] an iniquity <05771> [to be punished by] the judges
<06414>.



12 For it [is] a fire <0784> [that] consumeth <0398> to
destruction <011>, and would root <08327> out all < 03605> mine
increase <08393>.



13 If <0518> I did despise <03988> the cause < 04941> of my
manservant <05650> or of my maidservant <0519>, when they
contended <07378> with me;



14 What <04100> then shall I do when <03588> God < 0410> riseth
<06965> up? and when <03588> he visiteth <06485> , what <04100>
shall I answer <07725> him?



15 Did not he that made <06213> me in the womb <0990> make
<06213> him? and did not one <0259> fashion < 03559> us in the
womb <07358>?



16. If <0518> I have withheld <04513> the poor < 01800> from
[their] desire <02656>, or have caused the eyes < 05869> of the
widow <0490> to fail <03615>;



17 Or have eaten <0398> my morsel <06595> myself alone <0905>,
and the fatherless <03490> hath not eaten <0398> thereof;



18 (For from my youth <05271> he was brought <01431> up with me,
as [with] a father <01>, and I have guided <05148> her from my
mother's <0517> womb <0990>;)



19 If <0518> I have seen <07200> any perish < 06> for want
<01097> of clothing <03830>, or any poor <034> without <0369>
covering <03682>;



20 If <0518> his loins <02504> have not blessed < 01288> me, and
[if] he were [not] warmed <02552> with the fleece < 01488> of my
sheep <03532>;



21 If <0518> I have lifted <05130> up my hand < 03027> against
<05921> the fatherless <03490>, when <03588> I saw <07200> my
help <05833> in the gate <08179>:



22 [Then] let mine arm <03802> fall <05307> from my shoulder
<07929> blade <07929>, and mine arm <0248> be broken <07665>
from the bone <07070>.



23 For destruction <0343> [from] God <0410> [was] a terror
<06343> to me, and by reason of his highness <07613> I could
<03201> not endure.



24. If <0518> I have made <07760> gold <02091> my hope <03689>,
or have said <0559> to the fine gold <03800>, [Thou art] my
confidence <04009>;



25 If <0518> I rejoiced <08055> because <03588> my wealth
<02428> [was] great <07227>, and because <03588> mine hand
<03027> had gotten <04672> much <03524>;



26 If <0518> I beheld <07200> the sun <0216> when <03588> it
shined <01984>, or the moon <03394> walking < 01980> [in]
brightness <03368>;



27 And my heart <03820> hath been secretly <05643> enticed
<06601>, or my mouth <06310> hath kissed <05401> my hand <03027>:



28 This <01931> also <01571> [were] an iniquity < 05771> [to be
punished by] the judge <06416>: for I should have denied <03584>
the God <0410> [that is] above <04605>.



29 If <0518> I rejoiced <08055> at the destruction <06365> of
him that hated <08130> me, or lifted <05782> up myself when
<03588> evil <07451> found <04672> him:



30 Neither <03808> have I suffered <05414> my mouth <02441> to
sin <02398> by wishing <07592> a curse <0423> to his soul
<05315>.



31 If <0518> the men <04962> of my tabernacle < 0168> said
<0559> not, Oh that we had of his flesh <01320>! we cannot
<03808> be satisfied <07646>.



32 The stranger <01616> did not lodge <03885> in the street
<02351>: [but] I opened <06605> my doors <01817> to the
traveller <0734>.



33. If <0518> I covered <03680> my transgressions <06588> as
Adam <0121>, by hiding <02934> mine iniquity < 05771> in my bosom
<02436>:



34 Did I fear <06206> a great <07227> multitude < 01995>, or did
the contempt <0937> of families <04940> terrify < 02865> me, that
I kept silence <01826>, [and] went <03318> not out of the door
<06607>?



35 Oh that one would hear <08085> me! behold <02005>, my desire
<08420> [is, that] the Almighty <07706> would answer <06030> me,
and [that] mine adversary had written <03789> a book < 05612>.



36 Surely I would take <05375> it upon my shoulder < 07926>,
[and] bind <06029> it [as] a crown <05850> to me.



37 I would declare <05046> unto him the number < 04557> of my
steps <06806>; as a prince <05057> would I go < 07126> near
<07126> unto him.



38 If <0518> my land <0127> cry <02199> against <05921> me, or
that the furrows <08525> likewise <03162> thereof complain
<01058>;



39 If <0518> I have eaten <0398> the fruits < 03581> thereof
without <01097> money <03701>, or have caused the owners <01167>
thereof to lose <05307> their life <05315>:



40 Let thistles <02336> grow <03318> instead < 08478> of wheat
<02406>, and cockle <0890> instead <08478> of barley <08184>.
The words <01697> of Job <0347> are ended < 08552>.



Job 32



1. So these <0428> three <07969> men <0582> ceased <07673> to
answer <06030> Job <0347>, because <03588> he [was] righteous
<06662> in his own eyes <05869>.



2 Then was kindled <02734> the wrath <0639> of Elihu <0453> the
son <01121> of Barachel <01292> the Buzite < 0940>, of the
kindred <04940> of Ram <07410>: against Job < 0347> was his wrath
<0639> kindled <02734>, because <05921> he justified <06663>
himself <05315> rather than <04480> God <0430>.



3 Also against his three <07969> friends <07453> was his wrath
<0639> kindled <02734>, because they had found < 04672> no
<03808> answer <04617>, and [yet] had condemned < 07561> Job
<0347>.



4 Now Elihu <0453> had waited <02442> till Job < 0347> had
spoken <01697>, because <03588> they [were] elder than he.



5 When Elihu <0453> saw <07200> that [there was] no <0369>
answer <04617> in the mouth <06310> of [these] three <07969> men
<0582>, then his wrath <0639> was kindled < 02734>.



6. And Elihu <0453> the son <01121> of Barachel < 01292> the
Buzite <0940> answered <06030> and said <0559>, I [am] young,
and ye [are] very <03453> old <03453>; wherefore I was afraid
<02119>, and durst <03372> not shew <02331> you mine opinion
<01843>.



7 I said <0559>, Days <03117> should speak < 01696>, and
multitude <07230> of years <08141> should teach < 03045> wisdom
<02451>.



8 But [there is] a spirit <07307> in man <0582>: and the
inspiration <05397> of the Almighty <07706> giveth them
understanding <0995>.



9 Great <07227> men are not [always] wise <02449>: neither do
the aged <02205> understand <0995> judgment < 04941>.



10 Therefore <03651> I said <0559>, Hearken < 08085> to me; I
also <0637> will shew <02331> mine opinion < 01843>.



11 Behold <02005>, I waited <03176> for your words <01697>; I
gave ear <0238> to your reasons <08394>, whilst < 05704> ye
searched <02713> out what to say <04405>.



12 Yea, I attended <0995> unto you, and, behold < 02009>, [there
was] none <0369> of you that convinced <03198> Job <0347>, [or]
that answered <06030> his words <0561>:



13 Lest <06435> ye should say <0559>, We have found <04672> out
wisdom <02451>: God <0410> thrusteth <05086> him down, not man
<0376>.



14 Now he hath not directed <06186> [his] words < 04405> against
<0413> me: neither <03808> will I answer <07725> him with your
speeches <0561>.



15. They were amazed <02865>, they answered <06030> no <03808>
more <05750>: they left <06275> off speaking < 04405>.



16 When I had waited <03176>, (for they spake <01696> not, but
stood <05975> still <05975>, [and] answered < 06030> no <03808>
more <05750>;)



17 [I said], I will answer <06030> also <0637> my part <02506>,
I also <0637> will shew <02331> mine opinion < 01843>.



18 For I am full <04390> of matter <04405>, the spirit <07307>
within <0990> me constraineth <06693> me.



19 Behold <02009>, my belly <0990> [is] as wine < 03196> [which]
hath no <03808> vent <06605>; it is ready to burst <01234> like
new <02319> bottles <0178>.



20 I will speak <01696>, that I may be refreshed < 07304>: I
will open <06605> my lips <08193> and answer < 06030>.



21 Let me not, I pray <04994> you, accept <05375> any man's
<0376> person <06440>, neither <03808> let me give <01478>
flattering <03665> titles unto man <0120>.



22 For I know <03045> not to give flattering <03665> titles;
[in so doing] my maker <06213> would soon <04592> take <05375>
me away.



Job 33



1. Wherefore <0199>, Job <0347>, I pray <04994> thee, hear
<08085> my speeches <04405>, and hearken <0238> to all <03605>
my words <01697>.



2 Behold <02009>, now <04994> I have opened < 06605> my mouth
<06310>, my tongue <03956> hath spoken <01696> in my mouth
<02441>.



3 My words <0561> [shall be of] the uprightness < 03476> of my
heart <03820>: and my lips <08193> shall utter < 04448> knowledge
<01847> clearly <01305>.



4 The Spirit <07307> of God <0410> hath made < 06213> me, and
the breath <05397> of the Almighty <07706> hath given me life
<02421>.



5 If <0518> thou canst <03201> answer <07725> me, set [thy
words] in order <06186> before <06440> me, stand < 03320> up.



6 Behold <02005>, I [am] according to thy wish < 06310> in God's
<0410> stead: I also <01571> am formed <07169> out of the clay
<02563>.



7 Behold <02009>, my terror <0367> shall not make thee afraid
<01204>, neither <03808> shall my hand <0405> be heavy <03513>
upon thee.



8. Surely <0389> thou hast spoken <0559> in mine hearing <0241>,
and I have heard <08085> the voice <06963> of [thy] words
<04405>, [saying],



9 I am clean <02134> without <01097> transgression <06588>, I
[am] innocent <02643>; neither <03808> [is there] iniquity
<05771> in me.



10 Behold <02005>, he findeth <04672> occasions < 08569> against
<05921> me, he counteth <02803> me for his enemy < 0341>,



11 He putteth <07760> my feet <07272> in the stocks <05465>, he
marketh <08104> all <03605> my paths <0734>.



12 Behold <02005>, [in] this <02063> thou art not just <06663>:
I will answer <06030> thee, that God <0433> is greater <07235>
than man <0582>.



13 Why <04069> dost thou strive <07378> against < 0413> him? for
he giveth not account <06030> of any <03605> of his matters
<01697>.



14. For God <0410> speaketh <01696> once <0259> , yea twice
<08147>, [yet man] perceiveth <07789> it not.



15 In a dream <02472>, in a vision <02384> of the night <03915>,
when deep <08639> sleep falleth <05307> upon men < 0582>, in
slumberings <08572> upon the bed <04904>;



16 Then <0227> he openeth <01540> the ears < 0241> of men <0582>,
and sealeth <02856> their instruction <04561>,



17 That he may withdraw <05493> man <0120> [from his] purpose
<04639>, and hide <03680> pride <01466> from man <01397>.



18 He keepeth <02820> back <02820> his soul < 05315> from the
pit <07845>, and his life <02416> from perishing < 05674> by the
sword <07973>.



19. He is chastened <03198> also with pain <04341> upon his bed
<04904>, and the multitude <07379> of his bones < 06106> with
strong <0386> [pain]:



20 So that his life <02416> abhorreth <02092> bread <03899>,
and his soul <05315> dainty <08378> meat <03978> .



21 His flesh <01320> is consumed <03615> away, that it cannot
<03808> be seen <07210>; and his bones <06106> [that] were not
seen <07200> stick <08205> out.



22 Yea, his soul <05315> draweth near <07126> unto the grave
<07845>, and his life <02416> to the destroyers < 04191>.



23 If <0518> there be a messenger <04397> with him, an
interpreter <03887>, one <0259> among <04480> a thousand <0505>,
to shew <05046> unto man <0120> his uprightness < 03476>:



24 Then he is gracious <02603> unto him, and saith < 0559>,
Deliver <06308> him from going <03381> down < 03381> to the pit
<07845>: I have found <04672> a ransom <03724>.



25 His flesh <01320> shall be fresher <07375> than a child's
<05290>: he shall return <07725> to the days < 03117> of his
youth <05934>:



26 He shall pray <06279> unto God <0433>, and he will be
favourable <07520> unto him: and he shall see <07200> his face
<06440> with joy <08643>: for he will render < 07725> unto man
<0582> his righteousness <06666>.



27 He looketh <07789> upon men <0582>, and [if any] say <0559>,
I have sinned <02398>, and perverted <05753> [that which was]
right <03477>, and it profited <07737> me not;



28 He will deliver <06299> his soul <05315> from going <05674>
into the pit <07845>, and his life <02416> shall see <07200> the
light <0216>.



29. Lo <02005>, all <03605> these <0428> [things] worketh
<06466> God <0410> oftentimes with man <01397>,



30 To bring <07725> back <07725> his soul < 05315> from the pit
<07845>, to be enlightened <0215> with the light < 0216> of the
living <02416>.



31 Mark <07181> well <07181>, O Job <0347>, hearken <08085>
unto me: hold <02790> thy peace <02790>, and I will speak
<01696>.



32 If <0518> thou hast <03426> any thing to say < 04405>, answer
<07725> me: speak <01696>, for I desire <02654> to justify
<06663> thee.



33 If <0518> not, hearken <08085> unto me: hold < 02790> thy
peace <02790>, and I shall teach <0502> thee wisdom <02451>.



Job 34



1. Furthermore Elihu <0453> answered <06030> and said <0559>,



2 Hear <08085> my words <04405>, O ye wise < 02450> [men]; and
give ear <0238> unto me, ye that have knowledge < 03045>.



3 For the ear <0241> trieth <0974> words < 04405>, as the mouth
<02441> tasteth <02938> meat <0398>.



4 Let us choose <0977> to us judgment <04941>: let us know
<03045> among <0996> ourselves what <04100> [is] good <02896>.



5 For Job <0347> hath said <0559>, I am righteous <06663>: and
God <0410> hath taken <05493> away <05493> my judgment <04941>.



6 Should I lie <03576> against <05921> my right < 04941>? my
wound <02671> [is] incurable <0605> without < 01097>
transgression <06588>.



7 What <04310> man <01397> [is] like Job <0347> , [who] drinketh
<08354> up scorning <03933> like water <04325>?



8 Which goeth <0732> in company <02274> with the workers
<06466> of iniquity <0205>, and walketh <03212> with wicked
<07562> men <0582>.



9 For he hath said <0559>, It profiteth <05532> a man <01397>
nothing <03808> that he should delight <07521> himself with God
<0430>.



10. Therefore <03651> hearken <08085> unto me, ye men <0582> of
understanding <03824>: far <02486> be it from God < 0410>, [that
he should do] wickedness <07562>; and [from] the Almighty
<07706>, [that he should commit] iniquity <05766>.



11 For the work <06467> of a man <0120> shall he render <07999>
unto him, and cause every man <0376> to find <04672> according
to [his] ways <0734>.



12 Yea <0637>, surely <0551> God <0410> will not do wickedly
<07561>, neither <03808> will the Almighty < 07706> pervert
<05791> judgment <04941>.



13 Who <04310> hath given him a charge <06485> over the earth
<0776>? or who <04310> hath disposed <07760> the whole <03605>
world <08398>?



14 If <0518> he set <07760> his heart <03820> upon man, [if] he
gather <0622> unto himself his spirit <07307> and his breath
<05397>;



15 All <03605> flesh <01320> shall perish < 01478> together
<03162>, and man <0120> shall turn <07725> again <07725> unto
dust <06083>.



16. If <0518> now [thou hast] understanding <0998>, hear
<08085> this <02063>: hearken <0238> to the voice <06963> of my
words <04405>.



17 Shall even <0637> he that hateth <08130> right <04941>
govern <02280>? and wilt thou condemn <07561> him that is most
<03524> just <06662>?



18 [Is it fit] to say <0559> to a king <04428>, [Thou art]
wicked <01100>? [and] to princes <05081>, [Ye are] ungodly
<07563>?



19 [How <0834> much less to him] that accepteth < 05375> not the
persons <06440> of princes <08269>, nor <03808> regardeth
<05234> the rich <07771> more <06440> than < 06440> the poor
<01800>? for they all <03605> [are] the work < 04639> of his
hands <03027>.



20 In a moment <07281> shall they die <04191>, and the people
<05971> shall be troubled <01607> at midnight, and pass <05674>
away: and the mighty <047> shall be taken <05493> away <05493>
without <03808> hand <03027>.



21 For his eyes <05869> [are] upon the ways <01870> of man
<0376>, and he seeth <07200> all <03605> his goings <06806>.



22 [There is] no <0369> darkness <02822>, nor < 0369> shadow
<06757> of death <06757>, where <08033> the workers <06466> of
iniquity <0205> may hide <05641> themselves.



23 For he will not lay <07760> upon man <0376> more <05750>
[than right <04941>]; that he should enter <01980> into judgment
<04941> with God <0410>.



24 He shall break <07489> in pieces mighty <03524> men without
<03808> number <02714>, and set <05975> others <0312> in their
stead <08478>.



25 Therefore <03651> he knoweth <05234> their works <04566>,
and he overturneth <02015> [them] in the night <03915> , so that
they are destroyed <01792>.



26 He striketh <05606> them as wicked <07563> men in the open
<04725> sight <07200> of others;



27 Because they turned <05493> back <05493> from him, and would
not consider <07919> any <03605> of his ways < 01870>:



28 So that they cause the cry <06818> of the poor < 01800> to
come <0935> unto him, and he heareth <08085> the cry <06818> of
the afflicted <06041>.



29 When he giveth quietness <08252>, who <04310> then can make
trouble <07561>? and when he hideth <05641> [his] face <06440>,
who <04310> then can behold <07789> him? whether [it be done]
against <05921> a nation <01471>, or against < 05921> a man
<0120> only <03162>:



30 That the hypocrite <02611> reign <04427> not, lest the
people <05971> be ensnared <04170>.



31. Surely <03588> it is meet to be said <0559> unto God <0410>,
I have borne <05375> [chastisement], I will not offend < 02254>
[any more]:



32 [That which] I see <02372> not teach <03384> thou me: if
<0518> I have done <06466> iniquity <05766>, I will do <06466>
no <03808> more.



33 [Should it be] according to thy mind <05973>? he will
recompense <07999> it, whether <03588> thou refuse <03988>, or
whether <03588> thou choose <0977>; and not I: therefore speak
<01696> what <04100> thou knowest <03045>.



34 Let men <0582> of understanding <03824> tell < 0559> me, and
let a wise <02450> man <01397> hearken <08085> unto me.



35 Job <0347> hath spoken <01696> without < 03808> knowledge
<01847>, and his words <01697> [were] without < 03808> wisdom
<07919>.



36 My desire <015> [is that] Job <0347> may be tried <0974>
unto the end <05331> because <05921> of [his] answers <08666>
for wicked <0205> men <0582>.



37 For he addeth <03254> rebellion <06588> unto his sin <02403>,
he clappeth <05606> [his hands] among <0996> us, and
multiplieth <07235> his words <0561> against God < 0410>.



Job 35



1. Elihu <0453> spake <06030> moreover, and said < 0559>,



2 Thinkest <02803> thou this <02063> to be right < 04941>,
[that] thou saidst <0559>, My righteousness <06664> [is] more
<03254> than God's <0410>?



3 For thou saidst <0559>, What <04100> advantage < 05532> will
it be unto thee? [and], What <04100> profit <03276> shall I have,
[if I be cleansed] from my sin <02403>?



4 I will answer <04405> thee, and thy companions < 07453> with
thee.



5 Look <05027> unto the heavens <08064>, and see < 07200>; and
behold <07789> the clouds <07834> [which <0834> ] are higher
<01361> than thou.



6 If <0518> thou sinnest <02398>, what <04100> doest <06466>
thou against him? or [if] thy transgressions <06588> be
multiplied <07231>, what <04100> doest <06213> thou unto him?



7 If <0518> thou be righteous <06663>, what < 04100> givest
<05414> thou him? or <0176> what <04100> receiveth <03947> he of
thine hand <03027>?



8 Thy wickedness <07562> [may hurt] a man <0376> as thou [art];
and thy righteousness <06666> [may profit] the son < 01121> of
man <0120>.



9. By reason of the multitude <07230> of oppressions < 06217>
they make [the oppressed] to cry <02199>: they cry < 07768> out
by reason of the arm <02220> of the mighty <07227>.



10 But none <03808> saith <0559>, Where <0335> [is] God <0433>
my maker <06213>, who giveth <05414> songs < 02158> in the night
<03915>;



11 Who teacheth <0502> us more than the beasts <0929> of the
earth <0776>, and maketh us wiser <02449> than the fowls <05775>
of heaven <08064>?



12 There <08033> they cry <06817>, but none < 03808> giveth
answer <06030>, because <06440> of the pride < 01347> of evil
<07451> men.



13 Surely <0389> God <0410> will not hear < 08085> vanity
<07723>, neither <03808> will the Almighty < 07706> regard
<07789> it.



14. Although thou sayest <0559> thou shalt not see < 07789> him,
[yet] judgment <01779> [is] before <06440> him; therefore trust
<02342> thou in him.



15 But now <06258>, because <03588> [it is] not [so], he hath
visited <06485> in his anger <0639>; yet he knoweth <03045> [it]
not in great <03966> extremity <06580>:



16 Therefore doth Job <0347> open <06475> his mouth <06310> in
vain <01892>; he multiplieth <03527> words < 04405> without
<01097> knowledge <01847>.



Job 36



1. Elihu <0453> also proceeded <03254>, and said < 0559>,



2 Suffer <03803> me a little <02191>, and I will shew <02331>
thee that [I have] yet <05750> to speak <04405> on God's <0433>
behalf.



3 I will fetch <05375> my knowledge <01843> from afar <07350>,
and will ascribe <05414> righteousness <06664> to my Maker
<06466>.



4 For truly <0551> my words <04405> [shall] not [be] false
<08267>: he that is perfect <08549> in knowledge < 01844> [is]
with thee.



5. Behold <02005>, God <0410> [is] mighty < 03524>, and
despiseth <03988> not [any: he is] mighty <03524> in strength
<03581> [and] wisdom <03820>.



6 He preserveth <02421> not the life <02421> of the wicked
<07563>: but giveth <05414> right <04941> to the poor <06041>.



7 He withdraweth <01639> not his eyes <05869> from the
righteous <06662>: but with kings <04428> [are they] on the
throne <03678>; yea, he doth establish <03427> them for ever
<05331>, and they are exalted <01361>.



8 And if <0518> [they be] bound <0631> in fetters <02131>,
[and] be holden <03920> in cords <02256> of affliction <06040>;



9 Then he sheweth <05046> them their work <06467>, and their
transgressions <06588> that they have exceeded <01396> .



10 He openeth <01540> also their ear <0241> to discipline
<04148>, and commandeth <0559> that they return < 07725> from
iniquity <0205>.



11 If <0518> they obey <08085> and serve < 05647> [him], they
shall spend <03615> their days <03117> in prosperity <02896>,
and their years <08141> in pleasures <05273>.



12 But if <0518> they obey <08085> not, they shall perish
<05674> by the sword <07973>, and they shall die < 01478> without
<01097> knowledge <01847>.



13 But the hypocrites <02611> in heart <03820> heap <07760> up
wrath <0639>: they cry <07768> not when <03588> he bindeth
<0631> them.



14 They die <04191> in youth <05290>, and their life <02416>
[is] among the unclean <06945>.



15. He delivereth <02502> the poor <06041> in his affliction
<06040>, and openeth <01540> their ears <0241> in oppression
<03906>.



16 Even so would he have removed <05493> thee out of the strait
<06862> [into] a broad <07338> place, where [there is] no
<03808> straitness <04164>; and that which should be set <05183>
on thy table <07979> [should be] full <04390> of fatness <01880>.



17 But thou hast fulfilled <04390> the judgment < 01779> of the
wicked <07563>: judgment <01779> and justice < 04941> take
<08551> hold <08551> [on thee].



18 Because <03588> [there is] wrath <02534>, [beware] lest
<06435> he take <05496> thee away <05496> with [his] stroke
<05607>: then a great <07227> ransom <03724> cannot <03808>
deliver <05186> thee.



19 Will he esteem <06186> thy riches <07769>? [no <03808>], not
gold <01222>, nor <03808> all <03605> the forces <03981> of
strength <03581>.



20 Desire <07602> not the night <03915>, when people <05971>
are cut <05927> off in their place <08478>.



21 Take heed <08104>, regard <06437> not iniquity <0205>: for
this <02088> hast thou chosen <0970> rather than affliction
<06040>.



22 Behold <02005>, God <0410> exalteth <07682> by his power
<03581>: who <04310> teacheth <03384> like < 03644> him?



23 Who <04310> hath enjoined <06485> him his way < 01870>? or
who <04310> can say <0559>, Thou hast wrought < 06466> iniquity
<05766>?



24. Remember <02142> that thou magnify <07679> his work <06467>,
which <0834> men <0582> behold <07891>.



25 Every <03605> man <0120> may see <02372> it; man <0582> may
behold <05027> [it] afar <07350> off.



26 Behold <02005>, God <0410> [is] great < 07689>, and we know
<03045> [him] not, neither <03808> can the number < 04557> of his
years <08141> be searched <02714> out.



27 For he maketh small <01639> the drops <05197> of water
<04325>: they pour <02212> down rain <04306> according to the
vapour <0108> thereof:



28 Which <0834> the clouds <07834> do drop < 05140> [and] distil
<07491> upon man <0120> abundantly <07227>.



29 Also <0637> can [any] understand <0995> the spreadings
<04666> of the clouds <05645>, [or] the noise < 08663> of his
tabernacle <05521>?



30 Behold <02005>, he spreadeth <06566> his light <0216> upon
it, and covereth <03680> the bottom <08328> of the sea <03220>.



31 For by them judgeth <01777> he the people <05971>; he giveth
<05414> meat <0400> in abundance <04342>.



32 With clouds <03709> he covereth <03680> the light <0216>;
and commandeth <06680> it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that
cometh <06293> betwixt <06293>.



33 The noise <07452> thereof sheweth <05046> concerning <05921>
it, the cattle <04735> also <0637> concerning < 05921> the vapour
<05927>.



Job 37



1. At this <02063> also <0637> my heart <03820> trembleth
<02729>, and is moved <05425> out of his place < 04725>.



2 Hear <08085> attentively <08085> the noise < 07267> of his
voice <06963>, and the sound <01899> [that] goeth < 03318> out of
his mouth <06310>.



3 He directeth <03474> it under <08478> the whole <03605>
heaven <08064>, and his lightning <0216> unto the ends <03671>
of the earth <0776>.



4 After <0310> it a voice <06963> roareth < 07580>: he
thundereth <07481> with the voice <06963> of his excellency
<01347>; and he will not stay <06117> them when < 03588> his
voice <06963> is heard <08085>.



5 God <0410> thundereth <07481> marvellously < 06381> with his
voice <06963>; great <01419> things doeth < 06213> he, which we
cannot <0408> comprehend <03045>.



6. For he saith <0559> to the snow <07950>, Be thou [on] the
earth <0776>; likewise to the small rain <01653>, and to the
great <04306> rain <01653> of his strength < 05797>.



7 He sealeth <02856> up the hand <03027> of every <03605> man
<0120>; that all <03605> men <0582> may know <03045> his work
<04639>.



8 Then the beasts <02416> go <0935> into < 01119> dens <0695>,
and remain <07931> in their places <04585>.



9 Out of the south <02315> cometh <0935> the whirlwind <05492>:
and cold <07135> out of the north <04215>.



10 By the breath <05397> of God <0410> frost < 07140> is given
<05414>: and the breadth <07341> of the waters < 04325> is
straitened <04164>.



11 Also <0637> by watering <07377> he wearieth < 02959> the
thick cloud <05645>: he scattereth <06327> his bright <0216>
cloud <06051>:



12 And it is turned <02015> round <04524> about by his counsels
<08458>: that they may do <06467> whatsoever he commandeth
<06680> them upon the face <06440> of the world < 08398> in the
earth <0776>.



13 He causeth it to come <04672>, whether <0518> for correction
<07626>, or for his land <0776>, or for mercy < 02617>.



14. Hearken <0238> unto this <02063>, O Job < 0347>: stand
<05975> still <05975>, and consider <0995> the wondrous <06381>
works of God <0410>.



15 Dost thou know <03045> when God <0433> disposed <07760> them,
and caused the light <0216> of his cloud <06051> to shine
<03313>?



16 Dost thou know <03045> the balancings <04657> of the clouds
<05645>, the wondrous <04652> works of him which is perfect
<08549> in knowledge <01843>?



17 How <0834> thy garments <0899> [are] warm < 02525>, when
<03588> he quieteth <08252> the earth <0776> by the south
<01864> [wind]?



18 Hast thou with him spread <07554> out the sky < 07834>,
[which is] strong <02389>, [and] as a molten <03332> looking
<07209> glass <07209>?



19 Teach <03045> us what <04100> we shall say < 0559> unto him;
[for] we cannot <03808> order <06186> [our speech] by reason
<06440> of darkness <02822>.



20 Shall it be told <05608> him that I speak <01696> ? if <0518>
a man <0376> speak <0559>, surely <03588> he shall be swallowed
<01104> up.



21. And now <06258> [men] see <07200> not the bright <0925>
light <0216> which <01931> [is] in the clouds < 07834>: but the
wind <07307> passeth <05674>, and cleanseth < 02891> them.



22 Fair <02091> weather <02091> cometh <0857> out of the north
<06828>: with God <0433> [is] terrible <03372> majesty <01935>.



23 [Touching] the Almighty <07706>, we cannot <03808> find
<04672> him out: [he is] excellent <07689> in power <03581>, and
in judgment <04941>, and in plenty <07230> of justice <06666>:
he will not afflict <06031>.



24 Men <0582> do <06213> therefore <03651> fear <03372> him: he
respecteth <07200> not any <03605> [that are] wise <02450> of
heart <03820>.



Job 38



1. Then the LORD <03068> answered <06030> Job < 0347> out of the
whirlwind <05591>, and said <0559>,



2 Who <04310> [is] this <02088> that darkeneth < 02821> counsel
<06098> by words <04405> without <01097> knowledge <01847>?



3 Gird <0247> up now <04994> thy loins <02504> like <03644> a
man <01397>; for I will demand <07592> of thee, and answer
<03045> thou me.



4. Where <0375> wast <01961> thou when I laid the foundations
<03245> of the earth <0776>? declare <05046>, if thou hast
understanding <0998>.



5 Who <04310> hath laid <07760> the measures < 04461> thereof,
if <03588> thou knowest <03045>? or <0176> who <04310> hath
stretched <05186> the line <06957> upon it?



6 Whereupon are the foundations <0134> thereof fastened
<02883>? or <0176> who <04310> laid < 03384> the corner <06438>
stone <068> thereof;



7 When the morning <01242> stars <03556> sang < 07442> together
<03162>, and all <03605> the sons <01121> of God <0430> shouted
<07321> for joy?



8 Or [who] shut <05526> up the sea <03220> with doors <01817>,
when it brake <01518> forth <01518>, [as if] it had issued
<03318> out of the womb <07358>?



9 When I made <07760> the cloud <06051> the garment <03830>
thereof, and thick darkness <06205> a swaddlingband < 02854> for
it,



10 And brake <07665> up for it my decreed <02706> [place], and
set <07760> bars <01280> and doors <01817>,



11 And said <0559>, Hitherto shalt thou come <0935>, but no
<03808> further <03254>: and here <06311> shall thy proud
<01347> waves <01530> be stayed <07896>?



12. Hast thou commanded <06680> the morning <01242> since thy
days <03117>; [and] caused the dayspring <07837> to know <03045>
his place <04725>;



13 That it might take <0270> hold <0270> of the ends <03671> of
the earth <0776>, that the wicked <07563> might be shaken
<05287> out of it?



14 It is turned <02015> as clay <02563> [to] the seal <02368>;
and they stand <03320> as a garment <03830>.



15 And from the wicked <07563> their light <0216> is withholden
<04513>, and the high <07311> arm <02220> shall be broken
<07665>.



16 Hast thou entered <0935> into <05704> the springs <05033> of
the sea <03220>? or hast thou walked <01980> in the search
<02714> of the depth <08415>?



17 Have the gates <08179> of death <04194> been opened <01540>
unto thee? or hast thou seen <07200> the doors <08179> of the
shadow <06757> of death <06757>?



18 Hast thou perceived <0995> the breadth <07338> of the earth
<0776>? declare <05046> if <0518> thou knowest <03045> it all
<03605>.



19 Where <0335> [is] the way <01870> [where < 0335>] light
<0216> dwelleth <07931>? and [as for] darkness < 02822>, where
<0335> [is] the place <04725> thereof,



20 That thou shouldest take <03947> it to the bound < 01366>
thereof, and that thou shouldest know <0995> the paths < 05410>
[to] the house <01004> thereof?



21 Knowest <03045> thou [it], because <03588> thou wast then
<0227> born <03205>? or [because] the number < 04557> of thy days
<03117> [is] great <07227>?



22 Hast thou entered <0935> into <0413> the treasures <0214> of
the snow <07950>? or hast thou seen <07200> the treasures <0214>
of the hail <01259>,



23 Which <0834> I have reserved <02820> against the time
<06256> of trouble <06862>, against the day < 03117> of battle
<07128> and war <04421>?



24 By what way <01870> is the light <0216> parted <02505>,
[which] scattereth <06327> the east <06921> wind upon the earth
<0776>?



25. Who <04310> hath divided <06385> a watercourse <08585> for
the overflowing <07858> of waters, or a way <01870> for the
lightning <02385> of thunder <06963>;



26 To cause it to rain <04305> on <05921> the earth <0776>,
[where] no <03808> man <0376> [is; on <05921>] the wilderness
<04057>, wherein [there is] no <03808> man < 0120>;



27 To satisfy <07646> the desolate <07722> and waste <04875>
[ground]; and to cause the bud <04161> of the tender herb
<01877> to spring <06779> forth <06779>?



28 Hath <03426> the rain <04306> a father <01> ? or <0176> who
<04310> hath begotten <03205> the drops <096> of dew <02919>?



29 Out of whose <04310> womb <0990> came < 03318> the ice
<07140>? and the hoary <03713> frost <03713> of heaven <08064>,
who <04310> hath gendered <03205> it?



30 The waters <04325> are hid <02244> as [with] a stone <068>,
and the face <06440> of the deep <08415> is frozen <03920>.



31 Canst thou bind <07194> the sweet <04575> influences <04575>
of Pleiades <03598>, or <0176> loose <06605> the bands <04189>
of Orion <03685>?



32 Canst thou bring <03318> forth <03318> Mazzaroth <04216> in
his season <06256>? or canst thou guide <05148> Arcturus <05906>
with his sons <01121>?



33 Knowest <03045> thou the ordinances <02708> of heaven
<08064>? canst thou set <07760> the dominion < 04896> thereof in
the earth <0776>?



34 Canst thou lift <07311> up thy voice <06963> to the clouds
<05645>, that abundance <08229> of waters < 04325> may cover
<03680> thee?



35 Canst thou send <07971> lightnings <01300>, that they may go
<03212>, and say <0559> unto thee, Here <02009> we [are]?



36 Who <04310> hath put <07896> wisdom <02451> in the inward
<02910> parts? or <0176> who <04310> hath given <05414>
understanding <0998> to the heart <07907>?



37 Who <04310> can number <05608> the clouds < 07834> in wisdom
<02451>? or who <04310> can stay <07901> the bottles <05035> of
heaven <08064>,



38 When the dust <06083> groweth <03332> into hardness <04165>,
and the clods <07263> cleave <01692> fast together?



39 Wilt thou hunt <06679> the prey <02964> for the lion
<03833>? or fill <04390> the appetite <02416> of the young
<03715> lions <03715>,



40 When <03588> they couch <07742> in [their] dens <04585>,
[and] abide <03427> in the covert <05521> to lie in wait <0695>?



41 Who <04310> provideth <03559> for the raven < 06158> his food
<06718>? when <03588> his young <03206> ones cry <07768> unto
God <0410>, they wander <08582> for lack <01097> of meat <0400>.



Job 39



1. Knowest <03045> thou the time <06256> when the wild <03277>
goats <03277> of the rock <05553> bring <03205> forth <03205>?
[or] canst thou mark <08104> when the hinds <0355> do calve
<02342>?



2 Canst thou number <05608> the months <03391> [that] they
fulfil? or knowest <03045> thou the time <06256> when they bring
<03205> forth <03205>?



3 They bow <03766> themselves, they bring <06398> forth <06398>
their young <03206> ones, they cast <07971> out their sorrows
<02256>.



4 Their young <01121> ones are in good <02492> liking <02492>,
they grow <07235> up with corn <01250>; they go < 03318> forth
<03318>, and return <07725> not unto them.



5 Who <04310> hath sent <07971> out the wild < 06501> ass
<05601> free <02670>? or who <04310> hath loosed <06605> the
bands <04147> of the wild <06171> ass <06171>?



6 Whose <0834> house <01004> I have made < 07760> the wilderness
<06160>, and the barren <04420> land his dwellings <04908>.



7 He scorneth <07832> the multitude <01995> of the city <07151>,
neither <03808> regardeth <08085> he the crying < 08663> of the
driver <05065>.



8 The range <03491> of the mountains <02022> [is] his pasture
<04829>, and he searcheth <01875> after <0310> every <03605>
green <03387> thing.



9 Will the unicorn <07214> be willing <014> to serve <05647>
thee, or abide <03885> by thy crib <018>?



10 Canst thou bind <07194> the unicorn <07214> with his band
<05688> in the furrow <08525>? or will he harrow < 07702> the
valleys <06010> after <0310> thee?



11 Wilt thou trust <0982> him, because <03588> his strength
<03581> [is] great <07227>? or wilt thou leave < 05800> thy
labour <03018> to him?



12 Wilt thou believe <0539> him, that he will bring < 07725>
home <07725> thy seed <02233>, and gather <0622> [it into] thy
barn <01637>?



13. [Gavest thou] the goodly <07443> wings <03671> unto the
peacocks <07443>? or wings <034> and feathers < 02624> unto the
ostrich <05133>?



14 Which <03588> leaveth <05800> her eggs < 01000> in the earth
<0776>, and warmeth <02552> them in dust <06083> ,



15 And forgetteth <07911> that the foot <07272> may crush
<02115> them, or that the wild <07704> beast < 02416> may break
<01758> them.



16 She is hardened <07188> against her young <01121> ones, as
though [they were] not hers: her labour <03018> is in vain
<07385> without <01097> fear <06343>;



17 Because <03588> God <0433> hath deprived < 05382> her of
wisdom <02451>, neither <03808> hath he imparted < 02505> to her
understanding <0998>.



18 What time <06256> she lifteth <04754> up herself on high
<04791>, she scorneth <07832> the horse <05483> and his rider
<07392>.



19. Hast thou given <05414> the horse <05483> strength <01369>?
hast thou clothed <03847> his neck <06677> with thunder <07483>?



20 Canst thou make him afraid <07493> as a grasshopper < 0697>?
the glory <01935> of his nostrils <05170> [is] terrible <0367>.



21 He paweth <02658> in the valley <06010>, and rejoiceth
<07797> in [his] strength <03581>: he goeth < 03318> on to meet
<07125> the armed <05402> men.



22 He mocketh <07832> at fear <06343>, and is not affrighted
<02865>; neither <03808> turneth <07725> he back <07725> from
the sword <02719>.



23 The quiver <0827> rattleth <07439> against < 05921> him, the
glittering <03851> spear <02595> and the shield < 03591>.



24 He swalloweth <01572> the ground <0776> with fierceness
<07494> and rage <07267>: neither <03808> believeth <0539> he
that [it is] the sound <06963> of the trumpet <07782>.



25 He saith <0559> among <01767> the trumpets < 07782>, Ha
<01889>, ha <01889>; and he smelleth <07306> the battle <04421>
afar <07350> off, the thunder <07482> of the captains <08269>,
and the shouting <08643>.



26. Doth the hawk <05322> fly <082> by thy wisdom <0998>, [and]
stretch <06566> her wings <03671> toward the south <08486>?



27 Doth the eagle <05404> mount <01361> up at < 05291> thy
command <06310>, and make her nest <07064> on high <07311>?



28 She dwelleth <07931> and abideth <03885> on the rock <05553>,
upon the crag <08127> of the rock <05553>, and the strong
<04686> place.



29 From thence <08033> she seeketh <02658> the prey <0400>,
[and] her eyes <05869> behold <05027> afar < 07350> off.



30 Her young <0667> ones also suck <05966> up blood <01818>:
and where <0834> the slain <02491> [are], there < 08033> [is] she.



Job 40



1. Moreover the LORD <03068> answered <06030> Job <0347>, and
said <0559>,



2 Shall he that contendeth <07378> with the Almighty < 07706>
instruct <03250> [him]? he that reproveth <03198> God <0433>,
let him answer <06030> it.



3 Then Job <0347> answered <06030> the LORD < 03068>, and said
<0559>,



4 Behold <02005>, I am vile <07043>; what < 04100> shall I
answer <07725> thee? I will lay <07760> mine hand < 03027> upon
my mouth <06310>.



5 Once <0259> have I spoken <01696>; but I will not answer
<06030>: yea, twice <08147>; but I will proceed < 03254> no
<03808> further.



6. Then answered <06030> the LORD <03068> unto Job <0347> out
of the whirlwind <05591>, and said <0559>,



7 Gird <0247> up thy loins <02504> now <04994> like a man
<01397>: I will demand <07592> of thee, and declare <03045> thou
unto me.



8 Wilt thou also <0637> disannul <06565> my judgment <04941>?
wilt thou condemn <07561> me, that thou mayest be righteous
<06663>?



9 Hast thou an arm <02220> like God <0410>? or canst thou
thunder <07481> with a voice <06963> like < 03644> him?



10 Deck <05710> thyself now <04994> [with] majesty <01347> and
excellency <01363>; and array <03847> thyself with glory <01935>
and beauty <01926>.



11 Cast <06327> abroad <06327> the rage <05678> of thy wrath
<0639>: and behold <07200> every <03605> one [that is] proud
<01343>, and abase <08213> him.



12 Look <07200> on every <03605> one [that is] proud <01343>,
[and] bring <03665> him low <03665>; and tread < 01915> down the
wicked <07563> in their place <08478>.



13 Hide <02934> them in the dust <06083> together <03162>;
[and] bind <02280> their faces <06440> in secret < 02934>.



14 Then will I also <01571> confess <03034> unto thee that
thine own right <03225> hand <03225> can save < 03467> thee.



15. Behold <02009> now <04994> behemoth <0930>, which <0834> I
made <06213> with thee; he eateth <0398> grass < 02682> as an ox
<01241>.



16 Lo <02009> now <04994>, his strength <03581> [is] in his
loins <04975>, and his force <0202> [is] in the navel <08306> of
his belly <0990>.



17 He moveth <02654> his tail <02180> like < 03644> a cedar
<0730>: the sinews <01517> of his stones <06344> are wrapped
<08276> together.



18 His bones <06106> [are as] strong <0650> pieces of brass
<05154>; his bones <01634> [are] like bars < 04800> of iron
<01270>.



19 He [is] the chief <07725> of the ways <01870> of God <0410>:
he that made <06213> him can make his sword <02719> to approach
<05066> [unto him].



20 Surely <03588> the mountains <02022> bring < 05375> him forth
food <0944>, where <08033> all <03605> the beasts <02416> of the
field <07704> play <07832>.



21 He lieth <07901> under <08478> the shady < 06628> trees, in
the covert <05643> of the reed <07070>, and fens < 01207>.



22 The shady <06628> trees cover <05526> him [with] their
shadow <06752>; the willows <06155> of the brook < 05158> compass
<05437> him about.



23 Behold <02005>, he drinketh <06231> up a river <05104>,
[and] hasteth <02648> not: he trusteth <0982> that he can draw
<01518> up Jordan <03383> into <0413> his mouth <06310>.



24 He taketh <03947> it with his eyes <05869>: [his] nose
<0639> pierceth <05344> through snares <04170>.



Job 41



1. Canst thou draw <04900> out leviathan <03882> with an hook
<0100>? or his tongue <03956> with a cord < 02256> [which] thou
lettest <08257> down <08257>?



2 Canst thou put <07760> an hook <02443> into his nose <0639>?
or bore <05344> his jaw <03895> through with a thorn <02336>?



3 Will he make many <07235> supplications <08469> unto thee?
will he speak <01696> soft <07390> [words] unto thee?



4 Will he make <03772> a covenant <01285> with thee? wilt thou
take <03947> him for a servant <05650> for ever < 05769>?



5 Wilt thou play <07832> with him as [with] a bird < 06833>? or
wilt thou bind <07194> him for thy maidens <05291>?



6 Shall the companions <02271> make a banquet <03738> of him?
shall they part <02673> him among <0996> the merchants <03669>?



7 Canst thou fill <04390> his skin <05785> with barbed <07905>
irons <07905>? or his head <07218> with fish < 01709> spears
<06767>?



8 Lay <07760> thine hand <03709> upon him, remember <02142> the
battle <04421>, do no <0408> more <03254>.



9 Behold <02005>, the hope <08431> of him is in vain <03576>:
shall not [one] be cast <02904> down <02904> even < 01571> at the
sight <04758> of him?



10 None <03808> [is so] fierce <0393> that dare stir <05782>
him up: who <04310> then is able to stand <03320> before <06440>
me?



11. Who <04310> hath prevented <06923> me, that I should repay
<07999> [him? whatsoever is] under <08478> the whole <03605>
heaven <08064> is mine.



12 I will not conceal <02790> his parts <0905>, nor his power
<01369>, nor his comely <02433> proportion < 06187>.



13 Who <04310> can discover <01540> the face < 06440> of his
garment <03830>? [or] who <04310> can come < 0935> [to him] with
his double <03718> bridle <07448>?



14 Who <04310> can open <06605> the doors < 01817> of his face
<06440>? his teeth <08127> [are] terrible <0367> round <05439>
about.



15 [His] scales [are his] pride <01346>, shut <05462> up
together [as with] a close <06862> seal <02368>.



16 One <0259> is so near <05066> to another < 0259>, that no
<03908> air <07307> can come <0935> between < 0996> them.



17 They are joined <01692> one <0376> to another < 0250>, they
stick <03920> together, that they cannot <03808> be sundered
<06504>.



18 By his neesings <05846> a light <0216> doth shine <01984>,
and his eyes <05869> [are] like the eyelids <06079> of the
morning <07837>.



19 Out of his mouth <06310> go <01980> burning < 03940> lamps
<03940>, [and] sparks <03590> of fire <0784> leap <04422> out.



20 Out of his nostrils <05156> goeth <03318> smoke <06227>, as
[out] of a seething <05301> pot <01731> or caldron <0100>.



21 His breath <05315> kindleth <03857> coals < 01513>, and a
flame <03851> goeth <03318> out of his mouth < 06310>.



22 In his neck <06677> remaineth <03885> strength <05797>, and
sorrow <01670> is turned <01750> into joy before < 06440> him.



23 The flakes <04651> of his flesh <01320> are joined <01692>
together: they are firm <03332> in themselves; they cannot
<01077> be moved <04131>.



24 His heart <03820> is as firm <03332> as a stone <068>; yea,
as hard <03332> as a piece <06400> of the nether < 08482>
[millstone].



25 When he raiseth <07613> up himself, the mighty < 0410> are
afraid <01481>: by reason of breakings <07667> they purify
<02398> themselves.



26 The sword <02719> of him that layeth <05381> at him cannot
<01097> hold <06965>: the spear <02595>, the dart <04551>, nor
the habergeon <08302>.



27 He esteemeth <02803> iron <01270> as straw < 08401>, [and]
brass <05154> as rotten <07539> wood <06086>.



28 The arrow cannot <03808> make him flee <01272>: slingstones
are turned <02015> with him into stubble <07179>.



29 Darts <08455> are counted <02803> as stubble < 07179>: he
laugheth <07832> at the shaking <07494> of a spear <03591>.



30 Sharp <02303> stones <02789> [are] under < 08478> him: he
spreadeth <07502> sharp <02742> pointed <02742> things upon the
mire <02916>.



31 He maketh the deep <04688> to boil <07570> like a pot
<05518>: he maketh <07760> the sea <03220> like a pot of
ointment <04841>.



32 He maketh a path <05410> to shine <0215> after <0310> him;
[one] would think <02803> the deep <08415> [to be] hoary <07872>.



33 Upon earth <06083> there is not his like <04915>, who is
made <06213> without <01097> fear <02844>.



34 He beholdeth <07200> all <03605> high < 01364> [things]: he
[is] a king <04428> over <05921> all <03605> the children
<01121> of pride <07830>.



Job 42



1. Then Job <0347> answered <06030> the LORD < 03068>, and said
<0559>,



2 I know <03045> that thou canst <03201> do every <03605>
[thing], and [that] no <03908> thought <04209> can be withholden
<01219> from thee.



3 Who <04310> [is] he that hideth <05956> counsel <06098>
without <01097> knowledge <01847>? therefore < 03651> have I
uttered <05046> that I understood <0995> not; things too
wonderful <06381> for me, which I knew <03045> not.



4 Hear <08085>, I beseech <04994> thee, and I will speak
<01696>: I will demand <07592> of thee, and declare <03045> thou
unto me.



5 I have heard <08085> of thee by the hearing <08088> of the
ear <0241>: but now <06258> mine eye <05869> seeth <07200> thee.



6 Wherefore I abhor <03988> [myself], and repent < 05162> in
dust <06083> and ashes <0665>.



7. And it was [so], that after <0310> the LORD < 03068> had
spoken <01696> these <0428> words <01697> unto Job <0347>, the
LORD <03068> said <0559> to Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <08489>,
My wrath <0639> is kindled <02734> against thee, and against thy
two <08147> friends <07453>: for ye have not spoken <01696> of
me [the thing that is] right <03559>, as my servant < 05650> Job
<0347> [hath].



8 Therefore take <03947> unto you now <06258> seven <07651>
bullocks <06499> and seven <07651> rams <0352>, and go <03212>
to my servant <05650> Job <0347>, and offer < 05927> up for
yourselves a burnt <05930> offering; and my servant < 05650> Job
<0347> shall pray <06419> for you: for him will I accept <05375>:
lest <01115> I deal <06213> with you [after < 0310> your] folly
<05039>, in that ye have not spoken <01696> of me [the thing
which is] right <03559>, like my servant <05650> Job <0347>.



9 So Eliphaz <0464> the Temanite <08489> and Bildad <01085> the
Shuhite <07747> [and] Zophar <06691> the Naamathite <05284> went
<03212>, and did <06213> according as the LORD < 03068> commanded
<01696> them: the LORD <03068> also accepted < 05375> Job <0347>.



10. And the LORD <03068> turned <07725> the captivity <07622>
of Job <0347>, when he prayed <06419> for his friends <07453>:
also the LORD <03068> gave <03254> Job <0347> twice <04932> as
much <0634> as he had before.



11 Then came <0935> there unto him all <03605> his brethren
<0251>, and all <03605> his sisters <0269>, and all <03605> they
that had been of his acquaintance <03045> before < 06440>, and
did eat <0398> bread <03899> with him in his house <01004>: and
they bemoaned <05110> him, and comforted <05162> him over
<05921> all <03605> the evil <07451> that the LORD <03068> had
brought <0935> upon him: every man <0376> also gave <05414> him
a piece of money <07192>, and every <0376> one < 0376> an earring
<05141> of gold <02091>.



12 So the LORD <03068> blessed <01288> the latter <0319> end of
Job <0347> more than his beginning <07225>: for he had <01961>
fourteen thousand <0505> sheep <06629>, and six < 08337> thousand
<0505> camels <01581>, and a thousand <0505> yoke <06776> of
oxen <01241>, and a thousand <0505> she asses < 0860>.



13 He had <01961> also seven <07658> sons < 01121> and three
<07969> daughters <01121>.



14 And he called <07121> the name <08034> of the first <07223>,
Jemima <03224>; and the name <08034> of the second <08145>,
Kezia <07103>; and the name <08034> of the third < 07992>,
Kerenhappuch <07163>.



15 And in all <03605> the land <0776> were no < 03908> women
<0802> found <04672> [so] fair <03303> as the daughters <01121>
of Job <0347>: and their father <01> gave < 05414> them
inheritance <05159> among <08432> their brethren < 0251>.



16 After <0310> this <02063> lived <02421> Job <0347> an
hundred <03967> and forty <0705> years <08141>, and saw <07200>
his sons <01121>, and his sons <01121>' sons < 01121>, [even]
four <0702> generations <01755>.



17 So Job <0347> died <04191>, [being] old < 02205> and full
<07646> of days <03117>.
