The Book of Job

 JOB 1:1 There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name {was} Job;

and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God,

and eschewed evil.

JOB 1:2 And there were born unto him seven sons and three

daughters.

JOB 1:3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three

thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred

she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the

greatest of all the men of the east.

JOB 1:4 And his sons went and feasted {in their} houses, every

one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat

and to drink with them.

JOB 1:5 And it was so, when the days of {their} feasting were

gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early

in the morning, and offered burnt offerings {according} to the

number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have

sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

JOB 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present

themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among them.

JOB 1:7 And the Lord said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then

Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the

earth, and from walking up and down in it.

JOB 1:8 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my

servant Job, that {there is} none like him in the earth, a

perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth

evil?

JOB 1:9 Then Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God

for nought?

JOB 1:10 Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his

house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast

blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in

the land.

JOB 1:11 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he

hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

JOB 1:12 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath

{is} in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So

Satan went forth from the presence of the Lord.

JOB 1:13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters

{were} eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

JOB 1:14 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen

were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:

JOB 1:15 And the Sabeans fell {upon them}, and took them away;

yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and

I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

JOB 1:16 While he {was} yet speaking, there came also another,

and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned

up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am

escaped alone to tell thee.

JOB 1:17 While he {was} yet speaking, there came also another,

and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the

camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants

with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell

thee.

JOB 1:18 While he {was} yet speaking, there came also another,

and said, Thy sons and thy daughters {were} eating and drinking

wine in their eldest brother's house:

JOB 1:19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the

wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell

upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped

alone to tell thee.

JOB 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his

head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,

JOB 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and

naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath

taken away; blessed be the name of the Lord.

JOB 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

JOB 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to

present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also among

them to present himself before the Lord.

JOB 2:2 And the Lord said unto Satan, From whence comest thou?

And Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in

the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

JOB 2:3 And the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my

servant Job, that {there is} none like him in the earth, a

perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth

evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou

movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

JOB 2:4 And Satan answered the Lord, and said, Skin for skin,

yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

JOB 2:5 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his

flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

JOB 2:6 And the Lord said unto Satan, Behold, he {is} in thine

hand; but save his life.

JOB 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the Lord, and

smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his

crown.

JOB 2:8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and

he sat down among the ashes.

JOB 2:9 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine

integrity? curse God, and die.

JOB 2:10 But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the

foolish women speaketh.  What? shall we receive good at the hand

of God, and shall we not receive evil?  In all this did not Job

sin with his lips.

JOB 2:11 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that

was come upon him, they came every one from his own place;

Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the

Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to

mourn with him and to comfort him.

JOB 2:12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew

him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent

every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward

heaven.

JOB 2:13 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and

seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that

{his} grief was very great.

JOB 3:1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.

JOB 3:2 And Job spake, and said,

JOB 3:3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night {in

which} it was said, There is a man child conceived.

JOB 3:4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from

above, neither let the light shine upon it.

JOB 3:5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a

cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

JOB 3:6 {As for} that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it

not be joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the

number of the months.

JOB 3:7 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come

therein.

JOB 3:8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to

raise up their mourning.

JOB 3:9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it

look for light, but {have} none; neither let it see the dawning

of the day:

JOB 3:10 Because it shut not up the doors of my {mother's} womb,

nor hid sorrow from mine eyes.

JOB 3:11 Why died I not from the womb? {why} did I {not} give up

the Ghost when I came out of the belly?

JOB 3:12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I

should suck?

JOB 3:13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I

should have slept: then had I been at rest,

JOB 3:14 With kings and counsellers of the earth, which built

desolate places for themselves;

JOB 3:15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses

with silver:

JOB 3:16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as

infants {which} never saw light.

JOB 3:17 There the wicked cease {from} troubling; and there the

weary be at rest.

JOB 3:18 {There} the prisoners rest together; they hear not the

voice of the oppressor.

JOB 3:19 The small and great are there; and the servant {is} free

from his master.

JOB 3:20 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and

life unto the bitter {in} soul;

JOB 3:21 Which long for death, but it {cometh} not; and dig for

it more than for hid treasures;

JOB 3:22 Which rejoice exceedingly, {and} are glad, when they can

find the grave?

JOB 3:23 {Why is light given} to a man whose way is hid, and whom

God hath hedged in?

JOB 3:24 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are

poured out like the waters.

JOB 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me,

and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

JOB 3:26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I

quiet; yet trouble came.

JOB 4:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

JOB 4:2 {If} we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved?

but who can withhold himself from speaking?

JOB 4:3 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast

strengthened the weak hands.

JOB 4:4 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou

hast strengthened the feeble knees.

JOB 4:5 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it

toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

JOB 4:6 {Is} not {this} thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and

the uprightness of thy ways?

JOB 4:7 Remember, I pray thee, who {ever} perished, being

innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

JOB 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow

wickedness, reap the same.

JOB 4:9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his

nostrils are they consumed.

JOB 4:10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce

lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

JOB 4:11 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout

lion's whelps are scattered abroad.

JOB 4:12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear

received a little thereof.

JOB 4:13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep

sleep falleth on men,

JOB 4:14 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my

bones to shake.

JOB 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my

flesh stood up:

JOB 4:16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form

thereof: an image {was} before mine eyes, {there was} silence,

and I heard a voice, {saying},

JOB 4:17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be

more pure than his maker?

JOB 4:18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels

he charged with folly:

JOB 4:19 How much less {in} them that dwell in houses of clay,

whose foundation {is} in the dust, {which} are crushed before the

moth?

JOB 4:20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish

for ever without any regarding {it}.

JOB 4:21 Doth not their excellency {which is} in them go away?

they die, even without wisdom.

JOB 5:1 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to

which of the saints wilt thou turn?

JOB 5:2 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the

silly one.

JOB 5:3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I

cursed his habitation.

JOB 5:4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in

the gate, neither {is there} any to deliver {them}.

JOB 5:5 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even

out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.

JOB 5:6 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither

doth trouble spring out of the ground;

JOB 5:7 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

JOB 5:8 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my

cause:

JOB 5:9 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous

things without number:

JOB 5:10 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon

the fields:

JOB 5:11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which

mourn may be exalted to safety.

JOB 5:12 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that

their hands cannot perform {their} enterprise.

JOB 5:13 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the

counsel of the froward is carried headlong.

JOB 5:14 They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the

noonday as in the night.

JOB 5:15 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth,

and from the hand of the mighty.

JOB 5:16 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

JOB 5:17 Behold, happy {is} the man whom God correcteth:

therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

JOB 5:18 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his

hands make whole.

JOB 5:19 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven

there shall no evil touch thee.

JOB 5:20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war

from the power of the sword.

JOB 5:21 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue:

neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

JOB 5:22 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither

shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

JOB 5:23 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the

field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

JOB 5:24 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle {shall be} in

peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.

JOB 5:25 Thou shalt know also that thy seed {shall be} great, and

thine offspring as {the} grass of the earth.

JOB 5:26 Thou shalt come to {thy} grave in a full age, like as a

shock of corn cometh in in his season.

JOB 5:27 Lo this, we have searched it, so it {is}; hear it, and

know thou {it} for thy good.

JOB 6:1 But Job answered and said,

JOB 6:2 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity

laid in the balances together!

JOB 6:3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea:

therefore my words are swallowed up.

JOB 6:4 For the arrows of the Almighty {are} within me, the

poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set

themselves in array against me.

JOB 6:5 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the

ox over his fodder?

JOB 6:6 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is

there {any} taste in the white of an egg?

JOB 6:7 The things {that} my soul refused to touch {are} as my

sorrowful meat.

JOB 6:8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant

{me} the thing that I long for!

JOB 6:9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he

would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

JOB 6:10 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden

myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the

words of the Holy One.

JOB 6:11 What {is} my strength, that I should hope? and what {is}

mine end, that I should prolong my life?

JOB 6:12 {Is} my strength the strength of stones? or {is} my

flesh of brass?

JOB 6:13 {Is} not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from

me?

JOB 6:14 To him that is afflicted pity {should be shewed} from

his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.

JOB 6:15 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, {and} as

the stream of brooks they pass away;

JOB 6:16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, {and} wherein

the snow is hid:

JOB 6:17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot,

they are consumed out of their place.

JOB 6:18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to

nothing, and perish.

JOB 6:19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited

for them.

JOB 6:20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came

thither, and were ashamed.

JOB 6:21 For now ye are nothing; ye see {my} casting down, and

are afraid.

JOB 6:22 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of

your substance?

JOB 6:23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from

the hand of the mighty?

JOB 6:24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to

understand wherein I have erred.

JOB 6:25 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing

reprove?

JOB 6:26 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one

that is desperate, {which are} as wind?

JOB 6:27 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig {a pit} for

your friend.

JOB 6:28 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for {it is}

evident unto you if I lie.

JOB 6:29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return

again, my righteousness {is} in it.

JOB 6:30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern

perverse things?

JOB 7:1 {Is there} not an appointed time to man upon earth? {are

not} his days also like the days of an hireling?

JOB 7:2 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an

hireling looketh for {the reward of} his work:

JOB 7:3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome

nights are appointed to me.

JOB 7:4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night

be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of

the day.

JOB 7:5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin

is broken, and become loathsome.

JOB 7:6 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are

spent without hope.

JOB 7:7 O remember that my life {is} wind: mine eye shall no more

see good.

JOB 7:8 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no {more}:

thine eyes {are} upon me, and I {am} not.

JOB 7:9 {As} the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that

goeth down to the grave shall come up no {more}.

JOB 7:10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his

place know him any more.

JOB 7:11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in

the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my

soul.

JOB 7:12 {Am} I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over

me?

JOB 7:13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease

my complaint;

JOB 7:14 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me

through visions:

JOB 7:15 So that my soul chooseth strangling, {and} death rather

than my life.

JOB 7:16 I loathe {it}; I would not live alway: let me alone; for

my days {are} vanity.

JOB 7:17 What {is} man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that

thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

JOB 7:18 And {that} thou shouldest visit him every morning, {and}

try him every moment?

JOB 7:19 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone

till I swallow down my spittle?

JOB 7:20 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou

preserver of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so

that I am a burden to myself?

JOB 7:21 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take

away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou

shalt seek me in the morning, but I {shall} not {be}.

JOB 8:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

JOB 8:2 How long wilt thou speak these {things}? and {how long

shall} the words of thy mouth {be like} a strong wind?

JOB 8:3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert

justice?

JOB 8:4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast

them away for their transgression;

JOB 8:5 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy

supplication to the Almighty;

JOB 8:6 If thou {wert} pure and upright; surely now he would

awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness

prosperous.

JOB 8:7 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should

greatly increase.

JOB 8:8 For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare

thyself to the search of their fathers:

JOB 8:9 (For we {are but of} yesterday, and know nothing, because

our days upon earth {are} a shadow:)

JOB 8:10 Shall not they teach thee, {and} tell thee, and utter

words out of their heart?

JOB 8:11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow

without water?

JOB 8:12 Whilst it {is} yet in his greenness, {and} not cut down,

it withereth before any {other} herb.

JOB 8:13 So {are} the paths of all that forget God; and the

hypocrite's hope shall perish:

JOB 8:14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust {shall be}

a spider's web.

JOB 8:15 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he

shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

JOB 8:16 He {is} green before the sun, and his branch shooteth

forth in his garden.

JOB 8:17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, {and} seeth the

place of stones.

JOB 8:18 If he destroy him from his place, then {it} shall deny

him, {saying}, I have not seen thee.

JOB 8:19 Behold, this {is} the joy of his way, and out of the

earth shall others grow.

JOB 8:20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect {man}, neither

will he help the evil doers:

JOB 8:21 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with

rejoicing.

JOB 8:22 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the

dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.

JOB 9:1 Then Job answered and said,

JOB 9:2 I know {it is} so of a truth: but how should man be just

with God?

JOB 9:3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of

a thousand.

JOB 9:4 {He is} wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath

hardened {himself} against him, and hath prospered?

JOB 9:5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which

overturneth them in his anger.

JOB 9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars

thereof tremble.

JOB 9:7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth

up the stars.

JOB 9:8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon

the waves of the sea.

JOB 9:9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the

chambers of the south.

JOB 9:10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and

wonders without number.

JOB 9:11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see {him} not: he passeth on

also, but I perceive him not.

JOB 9:12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say

unto him, What doest thou?

JOB 9:13 {If} God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers

do stoop under him.

JOB 9:14 How much less shall I answer him, {and} choose out my

words {to reason} with him?

JOB 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, {yet} would I not answer,

{but} I would make supplication to my judge.

JOB 9:16 If I had called, and he had answered me; {yet} would I

not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.

JOB 9:17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my

wounds without cause.

JOB 9:18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me

with bitterness.

JOB 9:19 If {I speak} of strength, lo, {he is} strong: and if of

judgment, who shall set me a time {to plead}?

JOB 9:20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me:

{if I say}, I {am} perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

JOB 9:21 {Though} I {were} perfect, {yet} would I not know my

soul: I would despise my life.

JOB 9:22 This {is} one {thing}, therefore I said {it}, He

destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

JOB 9:23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial

of the innocent.

JOB 9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he

covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, {and}

who {is} he?

JOB 9:25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away,

they see no good.

JOB 9:26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle

{that} hasteth to the prey.

JOB 9:27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off

my heaviness, and comfort {myself}:

JOB 9:28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not

hold me innocent.

JOB 9:29 {If} I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

JOB 9:30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands

never so clean;

JOB 9:31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own

clothes shall abhor me.

JOB 9:32 For {he is} not a man, as I {am, that} I should answer

him, {and} we should come together in judgment.

JOB 9:33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, {that} might

lay his hand upon us both.

JOB 9:34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear

terrify me:

JOB 9:35 {Then} would I speak, and not fear him; but {it is} not

so with me.

JOB 10:1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint

upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

JOB 10:2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me

wherefore thou contendest with me.

JOB 10:3 {Is it} good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that

thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon

the counsel of the wicked?

JOB 10:4 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?

JOB 10:5 {Are} thy days as the days of man? {are} thy years as

man's days,

JOB 10:6 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest

after my sin?

JOB 10:7 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and {there is} none

that can deliver out of thine hand.

JOB 10:8 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round

about; yet thou dost destroy me.

JOB 10:9 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the

clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?

JOB 10:10 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me

like cheese?

JOB 10:11 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast

fenced me with bones and sinews.

JOB 10:12 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy

visitation hath preserved my spirit.

JOB 10:13 And these {things} hast thou hid in thine heart: I know

that this {is} with thee.

JOB 10:14 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not

acquit me from mine iniquity.

JOB 10:15 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and {if} I be righteous,

{yet} will I not lift up my head. {I am} full of confusion;

therefore see thou mine affliction;

JOB 10:16 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion:

and again thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.

JOB 10:17 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest

thine indignation upon me; changes and war {are} against me.

JOB 10:18 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the

womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

JOB 10:19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should

have been carried from the womb to the grave.

JOB 10:20 {Are} not my days few? cease {then, and} let me alone,

that I may take comfort a little,

JOB 10:21 Before I go {whence} I shall not return, {even} to the

land of darkness and the shadow of death;

JOB 10:22 A land of darkness, as darkness {itself; and} of the

shadow of death, without any order, and {where} the light {is} as

darkness.

JOB 11:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

JOB 11:2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and

should a man full of talk be justified?

JOB 11:3 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou

mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

JOB 11:4 For thou hast said, My doctrine {is} pure, and I am

clean in thine eyes.

JOB 11:5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against

thee;

JOB 11:6 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that

{they are} double to that which is! know therefore that God

exacteth of thee {less} than thine iniquity {deserveth}.

JOB 11:7 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find

out the Almighty unto perfection?

JOB 11:8 {It is} as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper

than hell; what canst thou know?

JOB 11:9 The measure thereof {is} longer than the earth, and

broader than the sea.

JOB 11:10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then

who can hinder him?

JOB 11:11 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will

he not then consider {it}?

JOB 11:12 For vain man would be wise, though man be born {like} a

wild ass's colt.

JOB 11:13 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine

hands toward him;

JOB 11:14 If iniquity {be} in thine hand, put it far away, and

let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.

JOB 11:15 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea,

thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

JOB 11:16 Because thou shalt forget {thy} misery, {and} remember

{it} as waters {that} pass away:

JOB 11:17 And {thine} age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou

shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.

JOB 11:18 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea,

thou shalt dig {about thee, and} thou shalt take thy rest in

safety.

JOB 11:19 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make {thee}

afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

JOB 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall

not escape, and their hope {shall be as} the giving up of the

ghost.

JOB 12:1 And Job answered and said,

JOB 12:2 No doubt but ye {are} the people, and wisdom shall die

with you.

JOB 12:3 But I have understanding as well as you; I {am} not

inferior to you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

JOB 12:4 I am {as} one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon

God, and he answereth him: the just upright {man is} laughed to

scorn.

JOB 12:5 He that is ready to slip with {his} feet {is as} a lamp

despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

JOB 12:6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that

provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth

{abundantly}.

JOB 12:7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and

the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

JOB 12:8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the

fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

JOB 12:9 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the Lord

hath wrought this?

JOB 12:10 In whose hand {is} the soul of every living thing, and

the breath of all mankind.

JOB 12:11 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his

meat?

JOB 12:12 With the ancient {is} wisdom; and in length of days

understanding.

JOB 12:13 With him {is} wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and

understanding.

JOB 12:14 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again:

he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

JOB 12:15 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up:

also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

JOB 12:16 With him {is} strength and wisdom: the deceived and the

deceiver {are} his.

JOB 12:17 He leadeth counsellers away spoiled, and maketh the

judges fools.

JOB 12:18 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins

with a girdle.

JOB 12:19 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the

mighty.

JOB 12:20 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh

away the understanding of the aged.

JOB 12:21 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the

strength of the mighty.

JOB 12:22 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and

bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

JOB 12:23 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he

enlargeth the nations, and straiteneth them {again}.

JOB 12:24 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of

the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness {where

there is} no way.

JOB 12:25 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh

them to stagger like {a} drunken {man}.

JOB 13:1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all {this}, mine ear hath heard

and understood it.

JOB 13:2 What ye know, {the same} do I know also: I {am} not

inferior unto you.

JOB 13:3 Surely I would speak to the almighty, and I desire to

reason with God.

JOB 13:4 But ye {are} forgers of lies, ye {are} all physicians of

no value.

JOB 13:5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it

should be your wisdom.

JOB 13:6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of

my lips.

JOB 13:7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for

him?

JOB 13:8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?

JOB 13:9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man

mocketh another, do ye {so} mock him?

JOB 13:10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept

persons.

JOB 13:11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread

fall upon you?

JOB 13:12 Your remembrances {are} like unto ashes, your bodies to

bodies of clay.

JOB 13:13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and

let come on me what {will}.

JOB 13:14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my

life in mine hand?

JOB 13:15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will

maintain mine own ways before him.

JOB 13:16 He also {shall be} my salvation: for an hypocrite shall

not come before him.

JOB 13:17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your

ears.

JOB 13:18 Behold now, I have ordered {my} cause; I know that I

shall be justified.

JOB 13:19 Who {is} he {that} will plead with me? for now, if I

hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.

JOB 13:20 Only do not two {things} unto me: then will I not hide

myself from thee.

JOB 13:21 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread

make me afraid.

JOB 13:22 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and

answer thou me.

JOB 13:23 How many {are} mine iniquities and sins? make me to

know my transgression and my sin.

JOB 13:24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for

thine enemy?

JOB 13:25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou

pursue the dry stubble?

JOB 13:26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest

me to possess the iniquities of my youth.

JOB 13:27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest

narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels

of my feet.

JOB 13:28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that

is moth eaten.

JOB 14:1 Man {that is} born of a woman {is} of few days and full

of trouble.

JOB 14:2 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he

fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

JOB 14:3 And dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and

bringest me into judgment with thee?

JOB 14:4 Who can bring a clean {thing} out of an unclean? not

one.

JOB 14:5 Seeing his days {are} determined, the number of his

months {are} with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he

cannot pass;

JOB 14:6 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall

accomplish, as an hireling, his day.

JOB 14:7 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it

will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not

cease.

JOB 14:8 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the

stock thereof die in the ground;

JOB 14:9 {Yet} through the scent of water it will bud, and bring

forth boughs like a plant.

JOB 14:10 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the

Ghost, and where {is} he?

JOB 14:11 {As} the waters fail from the sea, and the flood

decayeth and drieth up:

JOB 14:12 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens

{be} no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their

sleep.

JOB 14:13 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou

wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou

wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!

JOB 14:14 If a man die, shall he live {again}? all the days of my

appointed time will I wait, till my change come.

JOB 14:15 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have

a desire to the work of thine hands.

JOB 14:16 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch

over my sin?

JOB 14:17 My transgression {is} sealed up in a bag, and thou

sewest up mine iniquity.

JOB 14:18 And surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and

the rock is removed out of his place.

JOB 14:19 The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the

things which grow {out} of the dust of the earth; and thou

destroyest the hope of man.

JOB 14:20 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth:

thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

JOB 14:21 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth {it} not; and

they are brought low, but he perceiveth {it} not of them.

JOB 14:22 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul

within him shall mourn.

JOB 15:1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

JOB 15:2 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his

belly with the east wind?

JOB 15:3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with

speeches wherewith he can do no good?

JOB 15:4 Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer

before God.

JOB 15:5 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest

the tongue of the crafty.

JOB 15:6 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine

own lips testify against thee.

JOB 15:7 {Art} thou the first man {that} was born? or wast thou

made before the hills?

JOB 15:8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou

restrain wisdom to thyself?

JOB 15:9 What knowest thou, that we know not? {what}

understandest thou, which {is} not in us?

JOB 15:10 With us {are} both the grayheaded and very aged men,

much elder than thy father.

JOB 15:11 {Are} the consolations of God small with thee? is there

any secret thing with thee?

JOB 15:12 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy

eyes wink at,

JOB 15:13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest

{such} words go out of thy mouth?

JOB 15:14 What {is} man, that he should be clean? and {he which

is} born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

JOB 15:15 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the

heavens are not clean in his sight.

JOB 15:16 How much more abominable and filthy {is} man, which

drinketh iniquity like water?

JOB 15:17 I will shew thee, hear me; and that {which} I have seen

I will declare;

JOB 15:18 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have

not hid {it}:

JOB 15:19 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger

passed among them.

JOB 15:20 The wicked man travaileth with pain all {his} days, and

the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.

JOB 15:21 A dreadful sound {is} in his ears: in prosperity the

destroyer shall come upon him.

JOB 15:22 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness,

and he is waited for of the sword.

JOB 15:23 He wandereth abroad for bread, {saying}, Where {is it}?

he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

JOB 15:24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall

prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

JOB 15:25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and

strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.

JOB 15:26 He Runneth upon him, {even} on {his} neck, upon the

thick bosses of his bucklers:

JOB 15:27 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and

maketh collops of fat on {his} flanks.

JOB 15:28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, {and} in houses

which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.

JOB 15:29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance

continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon

the earth.

JOB 15:30 He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall

dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go

away.

JOB 15:31 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for

vanity shall be his recompence.

JOB 15:32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his

branch shall not be green.

JOB 15:33 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and

shall cast off his flower as the olive.

JOB 15:34 For the congregation of hypocrites {shall be} desolate,

and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.

JOB 15:35 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and

their belly prepareth deceit.

JOB 16:1 Then Job answered and said,

JOB 16:2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters

{are} ye all.

JOB 16:3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee

that thou answerest?

JOB 16:4 I also could speak as ye {do}: if your soul were in my

soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine

head at you.

JOB 16:5 {But} I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the

moving of my lips should asswage {your grief}.

JOB 16:6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and {though} I

forbear, what am I eased?

JOB 16:7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate

all my company.

JOB 16:8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, {which} is a

witness {against me}: and my leanness rising up in me beareth

witness to my face.

JOB 16:9 He teareth {me} in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth

upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

JOB 16:10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have

smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered

themselves together against me.

JOB 16:11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me

over into the hands of the wicked.

JOB 16:12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath

also taken {me} by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me

up for his mark.

JOB 16:13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my

reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon

the ground.

JOB 16:14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon

me like a giant.

JOB 16:15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my

horn in the dust.

JOB 16:16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids {is}

the shadow of death;

JOB 16:17 Not for {any} injustice in mine hands: also my prayer

{is} pure.

JOB 16:18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have

no place.

JOB 16:19 Also now, behold, my witness {is} in heaven, and my

record {is} on high.

JOB 16:20 My friends scorn me: {but} mine eye poureth out {tears}

unto God.

JOB 16:21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man

{pleadeth} for his neighbour!

JOB 16:22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way

{whence} I shall not return.

JOB 17:1 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves

{are ready} for me.

JOB 17:2 {Are there} not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye

continue in their provocation?

JOB 17:3 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who {is} he

{that} will strike hands with me?

JOB 17:4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding:

therefore shalt thou not exalt {them}.

JOB 17:5 He that speaketh flattery to {his} friends, even the

eyes of his children shall fail.

JOB 17:6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and

aforetime I was as a tabret.

JOB 17:7 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my

members {are} as a shadow.

JOB 17:8 Upright {men} shall be astonied at this, and the

innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.

JOB 17:9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that

hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.

JOB 17:10 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I

cannot find {one} wise {man} among you.

JOB 17:11 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, {even}

the thoughts of my heart.

JOB 17:12 They change the night into day: the light {is} short

because of darkness.

JOB 17:13 If I wait, the grave {is} mine house: I have made my

bed in the darkness.

JOB 17:14 I have said to corruption, Thou {art} my father: to the

worm, {Thou art} my mother, and my sister.

JOB 17:15 And where {is} now my hope? as for my hope, who shall

see it?

JOB 17:16 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when {our}

rest together {is} in the dust.

JOB 18:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

JOB 18:2 How long {will it be ere} ye make an end of words? mark,

and afterwards we will speak.

JOB 18:3 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, {and} reputed vile

in your sight?

JOB 18:4 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be

forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his

place?

JOB 18:5 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the

spark of his fire shall not shine.

JOB 18:6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his

candle shall be put out with him.

JOB 18:7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his

own counsel shall cast him down.

JOB 18:8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he

walketh upon a snare.

JOB 18:9 The gin shall take {him} by the heel, {and} the robber

shall prevail against him.

JOB 18:10 The snare {is} laid for him in the ground, and a trap

for him in the way.

JOB 18:11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall

drive him to his feet.

JOB 18:12 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction

{shall be} ready at his side.

JOB 18:13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: {even} the

firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

JOB 18:14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle,

and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

JOB 18:15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because {it is} none

of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

JOB 18:16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall

his branch be cut off.

JOB 18:17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he

shall have no name in the street.

JOB 18:18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased

out of the world.

JOB 18:19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people,

nor any remaining in his dwellings.

JOB 18:20 They that come after {him} shall be astonied at his

day, as they that went before were affrighted.

JOB 18:21 Surely such {are} the dwellings of the wicked, and this

{is} the place {of him that} knoweth not God.

JOB 19:1 Then Job answered and said,

JOB 19:2 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces

with words?

JOB 19:3 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not

ashamed {that} ye make yourselves strange to me.

JOB 19:4 And be it indeed {that} I have erred, mine error

remaineth with myself.

JOB 19:5 If indeed ye will magnify {yourselves} against me, and

plead against me my reproach:

JOB 19:6 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed

me with his net.

JOB 19:7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry

aloud, but {there is} no judgment.

JOB 19:8 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath

set darkness in my paths.

JOB 19:9 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown

{from} my head.

JOB 19:10 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and

mine hope hath he removed like a tree.

JOB 19:11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he

counteth me unto him as {one of} his enemies.

JOB 19:12 His troops come together, and raise up their way

against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.

JOB 19:13 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine

acquaintance are verily estranged from me.

JOB 19:14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have

forgotten me.

JOB 19:15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me

for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.

JOB 19:16 I called my servant, and he gave {me} no answer; I

intreated him with my mouth.

JOB 19:17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for

the children's {sake} of mine own body.

JOB 19:18 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they

spake against me.

JOB 19:19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I

loved are turned against me.

JOB 19:20 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am

escaped with the skin of my teeth.

JOB 19:21 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends;

for the hand of God hath touched me.

JOB 19:22 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied

with my flesh?

JOB 19:23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were

printed in a book!

JOB 19:24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the

rock for ever!

JOB 19:25 For I know {that} my redeemer liveth, and {that} he

shall stand at the latter {day} upon the earth:

JOB 19:26 And {though} after my skin {worms} destroy this {body},

yet in my flesh shall I see God:

JOB 19:27 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall

behold, and not another; {though} my reins be consumed within me.

JOB 19:28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the

root of the matter is found in me?

JOB 19:29 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath {bringeth} the

punishments of the sword, that ye may know {there is} a judgment.

JOB 20:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,

JOB 20:2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for

{this} I make haste.

JOB 20:3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of

my understanding causeth me to answer.

JOB 20:4 Knowest thou {not} this of old, since man was placed

upon earth,

JOB 20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked {is} short, and the

joy of the hypocrite {but} for a moment?

JOB 20:6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his

head reach unto the clouds;

JOB 20:7 {Yet} he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they

which have seen him shall say, Where {is} he?

JOB 20:8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found:

yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

JOB 20:9 The eye also {which} saw him shall {see him} no more;

neither shall his place any more behold him.

JOB 20:10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his

hands shall restore their goods.

JOB 20:11 His bones are full {of the sin} of his youth, which

shall lie down with him in the dust.

JOB 20:12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, {though} he

hide it under his tongue;

JOB 20:13 {Though} he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it

still within his mouth:

JOB 20:14 {Yet} his meat in his bowels is turned, {it is} the

gall of asps within him.

JOB 20:15 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them

up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

JOB 20:16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue

shall slay him.

JOB 20:17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of

honey and butter.

JOB 20:18 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall

not swallow {it} down: according to {his} substance {shall} the

restitution {be}, and he shall not rejoice {therein}.

JOB 20:19 Because he hath oppressed {and} hath forsaken the poor;

{because} he hath violently taken away an house which he builded

not;

JOB 20:20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he

shall not save of that which he desired.

JOB 20:21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall

no man look for his goods.

JOB 20:22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in

straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

JOB 20:23 {When} he is about to fill his belly, {God} shall cast

the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain {it} upon him

while he is eating.

JOB 20:24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, {and} the bow of

steel shall strike him through.

JOB 20:25 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the

glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors {are} upon him.

JOB 20:26 All darkness {shall be} hid in his secret places: a

fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that

is left in his tabernacle.

JOB 20:27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth

shall rise up against him.

JOB 20:28 The increase of his house shall depart, {and his goods}

shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

JOB 20:29 This {is} the portion of a wicked man from God, and the

heritage appointed unto him by God.

JOB 21:1 But Job answered and said,

JOB 21:2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your

consolations.

JOB 21:3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have

spoken, mock on.

JOB 21:4 As for me, {is} my complaint to man? and if {it were

so}, why should not my spirit be troubled?

JOB 21:5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay {your} hand upon

{your} mouth.

JOB 21:6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh

hold on my flesh.

JOB 21:7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are

mighty in power?

JOB 21:8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and

their offspring before their eyes.

JOB 21:9 Their houses {are} safe from fear, neither {is} the rod

of God upon them.

JOB 21:10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow

calveth, and casteth not her calf.

JOB 21:11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and

their children dance.

JOB 21:12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the

sound of the organ.

JOB 21:13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go

down to the grave.

JOB 21:14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we

desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

JOB 21:15 What {is} the Almighty, that we should serve him? and

what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

JOB 21:16 Lo, their good {is} not in their hand: the counsel of

the wicked is far from me.

JOB 21:17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and {how

oft} cometh their destruction upon them! {God} distributeth

sorrows in his anger.

JOB 21:18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that

the storm carrieth away.

JOB 21:19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he

rewardeth him, and he shall know {it}.

JOB 21:20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink

of the wrath of the almighty.

JOB 21:21 For what pleasure {hath} he in his house after him,

when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

JOB 21:22 Shall {any} teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth

those that are high.

JOB 21:23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease

and quiet.

JOB 21:24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are

moistened with marrow.

JOB 21:25 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and

never eateth with pleasure.

JOB 21:26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms

shall cover them.

JOB 21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices {which}

ye wrongfully imagine against me.

JOB 21:28 For ye say, Where {is} the house of the prince? and

where {are} the dwelling places of the wicked?

JOB 21:29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye

not know their tokens,

JOB 21:30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction?

they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

JOB 21:31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall

repay him {what} he hath done?

JOB 21:32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain

in the tomb.

JOB 21:33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and

every man shall draw after him, as {there are} innumerable before

him.

JOB 21:34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers

there remaineth falsehood?

JOB 22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

JOB 22:2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may

be profitable unto himself?

JOB 22:3 {Is it} any pleasure to the almighty, that thou art

righteous? or {is it} gain {to him}, that thou makest thy ways

perfect?

JOB 22:4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter

with thee into judgment?

JOB 22:5 {Is} not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities

infinite?

JOB 22:6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for

nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

JOB 22:7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and

thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

JOB 22:8 But {as for} the mighty man, he had the earth; and the

honourable man dwelt in it.

JOB 22:9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the

fatherless have been broken.

JOB 22:10 Therefore snares {are} round about thee, and sudden

fear troubleth thee;

JOB 22:11 Or darkness, {that} thou canst not see; and abundance

of waters cover thee.

JOB 22:12 {Is} not God in the height of heaven? and behold the

height of the stars, how high they are!

JOB 22:13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge

through the dark cloud?

JOB 22:14 Thick clouds {are} a covering to him, that he seeth

not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

JOB 22:15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have

trodden?

JOB 22:16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was

overflown with a flood:

JOB 22:17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the

Almighty do for them?

JOB 22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good {things}: but the

counsel of the wicked is far from me.

JOB 22:19 The righteous see {it}, and are glad: and the innocent

laugh them to scorn.

JOB 22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant

of them the fire consumeth.

JOB 22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby

good shall come unto thee.

JOB 22:22 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay

up his words in thine heart.

JOB 22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up,

thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

JOB 22:24 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the {gold} of

Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

JOB 22:25 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt

have plenty of silver.

JOB 22:26 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty,

and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

JOB 22:27 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear

thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

JOB 22:28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be

established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

JOB 22:29 When {men} are cast down, then thou shalt say, {There

Is} lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

JOB 22:30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is

delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

JOB 23:1 Then Job answered and said,

JOB 23:2 Even to day {is} my complaint bitter: my stroke is

heavier than my groaning.

JOB 23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! {that} I might

come {even} to his seat!

JOB 23:4 I would order {my} cause before him, and fill my mouth

with arguments.

JOB 23:5 I would know the words {which} he would answer me, and

understand what he would say unto me.

JOB 23:6 Will he plead against me with {his} great power? No; but

he would put {strength} in me.

JOB 23:7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I

be delivered for ever from my judge.

JOB 23:8 Behold, I go forward, but he {is} not {there}; and

backward, but I cannot perceive him:

JOB 23:9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot

behold {him}: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot

see {him}:

JOB 23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: {when} he hath

tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

JOB 23:11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and

not declined.

JOB 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his

lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my

necessary {food}.

JOB 23:13 But he {is} in one {mind}, and who can turn him? and

{what} his soul desireth, even {that} he doeth.

JOB 23:14 For he performeth {the thing} that {is} appointed for

me: and many such {things are} with him.

JOB 23:15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I

consider, I am afraid of him.

JOB 23:16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the almighty

troubleth me:

JOB 23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness,

{neither} hath he covered the darkness from my face.

JOB 24:1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do

they that know him not see his days?

JOB 24:2 {Some} remove the landmarks; they violently take away

flocks, and feed {thereof}.

JOB 24:3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the

widow's ox for a pledge.

JOB 24:4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the

earth hide themselves together.

JOB 24:5 Behold, {as} wild asses in the desert, go they forth to

their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness {yieldeth}

food for them {and} for {their} children.

JOB 24:6 They reap {every one} his corn in the field: and they

gather the vintage of the wicked.

JOB 24:7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that

{they have} no covering in the cold.

JOB 24:8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and

embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

JOB 24:9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a

pledge of the poor.

JOB 24:10 They cause {him} to go naked without clothing, and they

take away the sheaf {from} the hungry;

JOB 24:11 {Which} make oil within their walls, {and} tread

{their} winepresses, and suffer thirst.

JOB 24:12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the

wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly {to them}.

JOB 24:13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they

know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

JOB 24:14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and

needy, and in the night is as a thief.

JOB 24:15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,

saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth {his} face.

JOB 24:16 In the dark they dig through houses, {which} they had

marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

JOB 24:17 For the morning {is} to them even as the shadow of

death: if {one} know {them, they are in} the terrors of the

shadow of death.

JOB 24:18 He {is} swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in

the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

JOB 24:19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: {so doth} the

grave {those which} have sinned.

JOB 24:20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly

on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be

broken as a tree.

JOB 24:21 He evil entreateth the barren {that} beareth not: and

doeth not good to the widow.

JOB 24:22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth

up, and no {man} is sure of life.

JOB 24:23 {Though} it be given him {to be} in safety, whereon he

resteth; yet his eyes {are} upon their ways.

JOB 24:24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and

brought low; they are taken out of the way as all {other}, and

cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

JOB 24:25 And if {it be} not so now, who will make me a liar, and

make my speech nothing worth?

JOB 25:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

JOB 25:2 Dominion and fear {are} with him, he maketh peace in his

high places.

JOB 25:3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth

not his light arise?

JOB 25:4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be

clean {that is} born of a woman?

JOB 25:5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the

stars are not pure in his sight.

JOB 25:6 How much less man, {that is} a worm? and the son of man,

{which is} a worm?

JOB 26:1 But Job answered and said,

JOB 26:2 How hast thou helped {him that is} without power? {how}

savest thou the arm {that hath} no strength?

JOB 26:3 How hast thou counselled {him that hath} no wisdom? and

{how} hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

JOB 26:4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came

from thee?

JOB 26:5 Dead {things} are formed from under the waters, and the

inhabitants thereof.

JOB 26:6 Hell {is} naked before him, and destruction hath no

covering.

JOB 26:7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, {and}

hangeth the earth upon nothing.

JOB 26:8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the

cloud is not rent under them.

JOB 26:9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, {and} spreadeth

his cloud upon it.

JOB 26:10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day

and night come to an end.

JOB 26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his

reproof.

JOB 26:12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his

understanding he smiteth through the proud.

JOB 26:13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand

hath formed the crooked serpent.

JOB 26:14 Lo, these {are} parts of his ways: but how little a

portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can

understand?

JOB 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

JOB 27:2 {As} God liveth, {who} hath taken away my judgment; and

the Almighty, {who} hath vexed my soul;

JOB 27:3 All the while my breath {is} in me, and the spirit of

God {is} in my nostrils;

JOB 27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter

deceit.

JOB 27:5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will

not remove mine integrity from me.

JOB 27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my

heart shall not reproach {me} so long as I live.

JOB 27:7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up

against me as the unrighteous.

JOB 27:8 For what {is} the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath

gained, when God taketh away his soul?

JOB 27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

JOB 27:10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always

call upon God?

JOB 27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God: {that} which {is}

with the Almighty will I not conceal.

JOB 27:12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen {it}; why then are

ye thus altogether vain?

JOB 27:13 This {is} the portion of a wicked man with God, and the

heritage of oppressors, {which} they shall receive of the

Almighty.

JOB 27:14 If his children be multiplied, {it is} for the sword:

and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

JOB 27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and

his widows shall not weep.

JOB 27:16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare

raiment as the clay;

JOB 27:17 He may prepare {it}, but the just shall put {it} on,

and the innocent shall divide the silver.

JOB 27:18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth {that}

the keeper maketh.

JOB 27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be

gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he {is} not.

JOB 27:20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth

him away in the night.

JOB 27:21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and

as a storm hurleth him out of his place.

JOB 27:22 For {God} shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would

fain flee out of his hand.

JOB 27:23 {Men} shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him

out of his place.

JOB 28:1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for

gold {where} they fine {it}.

JOB 28:2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass {is} molten

{out of} the stone.

JOB 28:3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all

perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

JOB 28:4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; {even the

waters} forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone

away from men.

JOB 28:5 {As for} the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it

is turned up as it were fire.

JOB 28:6 The stones of it {are} the place of sapphires: and it

hath dust of gold.

JOB 28:7 {There is} a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the

vulture's eye hath not seen:

JOB 28:8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce

lion passed by it.

JOB 28:9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth

the mountains by the roots.

JOB 28:10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye

seeth every precious thing.

JOB 28:11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and {the thing

that} is hid bringeth he forth to light.

JOB 28:12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where {is} the

place of understanding?

JOB 28:13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found

in the land of the living.

JOB 28:14 The depth saith, It {is} not in me: and the sea saith,

{It is} not with me.

JOB 28:15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be

weighed {for} the price thereof.

JOB 28:16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the

precious onyx, or the sapphire.

JOB 28:17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the

exchange of it {shall not be for} jewels of fine gold.

JOB 28:18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for

the price of wisdom {is} above rubies.

JOB 28:19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall

it be valued with pure gold.

JOB 28:20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where {is} the place of

understanding?

JOB 28:21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept

close from the fowls of the air.

JOB 28:22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame

thereof with our ears.

JOB 28:23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the

place thereof.

JOB 28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, {and} seeth

under the whole heaven;

JOB 28:25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the

waters by measure.

JOB 28:26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the

lightning of the thunder:

JOB 28:27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it,

yea, and searched it out.

JOB 28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord,

that {is} wisdom; and to depart from evil {is} understanding.

JOB 29:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

JOB 29:2 Oh that I were as {in} months past, as {in} the days

{when} God preserved me;

JOB 29:3 When his candle shined upon my head, {and when} by his

light I walked {through} darkness;

JOB 29:4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God

{was} upon my tabernacle;

JOB 29:5 When the Almighty {was} yet with me, {when} my children

{were} about me;

JOB 29:6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured

me out rivers of oil;

JOB 29:7 When I went out to the gate through the city, {when} I

prepared my seat in the street!

JOB 29:8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged

arose, {and} stood up.

JOB 29:9 The princes refrained talking, and laid {their} hand on

their mouth.

JOB 29:10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved

to the roof of their mouth.

JOB 29:11 When the ear heard {me}, then it blessed me; and when

the eye saw {me}, it gave witness to me:

JOB 29:12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the

fatherless, and {him that had} none to help him.

JOB 29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon

me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

JOB 29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment

{was} as a robe and a diadem.

JOB 29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet {was} I to the Lame.

JOB 29:16 I {was} a father to the poor: and the cause {which} I

knew not I searched out.

JOB 29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the

spoil out of his teeth.

JOB 29:18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall

multiply {my} days as the sand.

JOB 29:19 My root {was} spread out by the waters, and the dew lay

all night upon my branch.

JOB 29:20 My glory {was} Fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in

my hand.

JOB 29:21 Unto me {men} gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at

my counsel.

JOB 29:22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech

dropped upon them.

JOB 29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened

their mouth wide {as} for the latter rain.

JOB 29:24 {If} I laughed on them, they believed {it} not; and the

light of my countenance they cast not down.

JOB 29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a

king in the army, as one {that} comforteth the mourners.

JOB 30:1 But now {they that are} younger than I have me in

derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with

the dogs of my flock.

JOB 30:2 Yea, whereto {might} the strength of their hands

{profit} me, in whom old age was perished?

JOB 30:3 For want and famine {they were} solitary; fleeing into

the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.

JOB 30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots

{for} their meat.

JOB 30:5 They were driven forth from among {men}, (they cried

after them as {after} a thief;)

JOB 30:6 To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, {in} caves of the

earth, and {in} the rocks.

JOB 30:7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they

were gathered together.

JOB 30:8 {They were} children of fools, yea, children of base

men: they were viler than the earth.

JOB 30:9 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

JOB 30:10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to

spit in my face.

JOB 30:11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they

have also let loose the bridle before me.

JOB 30:12 Upon {my} right {hand} rise the youth; they push away

my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their

destruction.

JOB 30:13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they

have no helper.

JOB 30:14 They came {upon me} as a wide breaking in {of waters}:

in the desolation they rolled themselves {upon me}.

JOB 30:15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the

wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

JOB 30:16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of

affliction have taken hold upon me.

JOB 30:17 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my

sinews take no rest.

JOB 30:18 By the great force {of my disease} is my garment

changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

JOB 30:19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like

dust and ashes.

JOB 30:20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up,

and thou regardest me {not}.

JOB 30:21 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou

opposest thyself against me.

JOB 30:22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride

{upon it}, and dissolvest my substance.

JOB 30:23 For I know {that} thou wilt bring me {to} death, and to

the house appointed for all living.

JOB 30:24 Howbeit he will not stretch out {his} hand to the

grave, though they cry in his destruction.

JOB 30:25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was {not}

my soul grieved for the poor?

JOB 30:26 When I looked for good, then evil came {unto me}: and

when I waited for light, there came darkness.

JOB 30:27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of

affliction prevented me.

JOB 30:28 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, {and} I

cried in the congregation.

JOB 30:29 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

JOB 30:30 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with

heat.

JOB 30:31 My harp also is {turned} to mourning, and my organ into

the voice of them that weep.

JOB 31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I

think upon a maid?

JOB 31:2 For what portion of God {is there} from above? and

{what} inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

JOB 31:3 {Is} not destruction to the wicked? and a strange

{punishment} to the workers of iniquity?

JOB 31:4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

JOB 31:5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted

to deceit;

JOB 31:6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know

mine integrity.

JOB 31:7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart

walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine

hands;

JOB 31:8 {Then} let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my

offspring be rooted out.

JOB 31:9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or {if} I

have laid wait at my neighbour's door;

JOB 31:10 {Then} let my wife grind unto another, and let others

bow down upon her.

JOB 31:11 For this {is} an heinous crime; yea, it {is} an

iniquity {to be punished by} the judges.

JOB 31:12 For it {is} a fire {that} consumeth to destruction, and

would root out all mine increase.

JOB 31:13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my

maidservant, when they contended with me;

JOB 31:14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he

visiteth, what shall I answer him?

JOB 31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did

not one fashion us in the womb?

JOB 31:16 If I have withheld the poor from {their} desire, or

have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

JOB 31:17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the

fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

JOB 31:18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as {with}

a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

JOB 31:19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any

poor without covering;

JOB 31:20 If his loins have not blessed me, and {if} he were

{not} warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

JOB 31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless,

when I saw my help in the gate:

JOB 31:22 {Then} let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and

mine arm be broken from the bone.

JOB 31:23 For destruction {from} God {was} a terror to me, and by

reason of his highness I could not endure.

JOB 31:24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine

gold, {Thou art} my confidence;

JOB 31:25 If I rejoiced because my wealth {was} great, and

because mine hand had gotten much;

JOB 31:26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking

{in} brightness;

JOB 31:27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth

hath kissed my hand:

JOB 31:28 This also {were} an iniquity {to be punished by} the

judge: for I should have denied the God {that is} above.

JOB 31:29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me,

or lifted up myself when evil found him:

JOB 31:30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a

curse to his soul.

JOB 31:31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of

his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

JOB 31:32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: {but} I

opened my doors to the traveller.

JOB 31:33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine

iniquity in my bosom:

JOB 31:34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of

families terrify me, that I kept silence, {and} went not out of

the door?

JOB 31:35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire {is, that}

the Almighty would answer me, and {that} mine adversary had

written a book.

JOB 31:36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, {and} bind it

{as} a crown to me.

JOB 31:37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a

prince would I go near unto him.

JOB 31:38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise

thereof complain;

JOB 31:39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or

have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

JOB 31:40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead

of barley. The words of Job are ended.

JOB 32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he

{was} righteous in his own eyes.

JOB 32:2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel

the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath

kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

JOB 32:3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled,

because they had found no answer, and {yet} had condemned Job.

JOB 32:4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they

{were} elder than he.

JOB 32:5 When Elihu saw that {there was} no answer in the mouth

of {these} three men, then his wrath was kindled.

JOB 32:6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and

said, I {am} young, and ye {are} very old; wherefore I was

afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

JOB 32:7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should

teach wisdom.

JOB 32:8 But {there is} a spirit in man: and the inspiration of

the Almighty giveth them understanding.

JOB 32:9 Great men are not {always} wise: neither do the aged

understand judgment.

JOB 32:10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine

opinion.

JOB 32:11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your

reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

JOB 32:12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, {there was} none

of you that convinced Job, {or} that answered his words:

JOB 32:13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God

thrusteth him down, not man.

JOB 32:14 Now he hath not directed {his} words against me:

neither will I answer him with your speeches.

JOB 32:15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off

speaking.

JOB 32:16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood

still, {and} answered no more;)

JOB 32:17 {I said}, I will answer also my part, I also will shew

mine opinion.

JOB 32:18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me

constraineth me.

JOB 32:19 Behold, my belly {is} as wine {which} hath no vent; it

is ready to burst like new bottles.

JOB 32:20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my

lips and answer.

JOB 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person,

neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

JOB 32:22 For I know not to give flattering titles; {in so doing}

my maker would soon take me away.

JOB 33:1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and

hearken to all my words.

JOB 33:2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath

spoken in my mouth.

JOB 33:3 My words {shall be of} the uprightness of my heart: and

my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

JOB 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the

Almighty hath given me life.

JOB 33:5 If thou canst answer me, set {thy words} in order before

me, stand up.

JOB 33:6 Behold, I {am} according to thy wish in God's stead: I

also am formed out of the clay.

JOB 33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither

shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

JOB 33:8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have

heard the voice of {thy} words, {saying},

JOB 33:9 I am clean without transgression, I {am} innocent;

neither {is there} iniquity in me.

JOB 33:10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me

for his enemy,

JOB 33:11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my

paths.

JOB 33:12 Behold, {in} this thou art not just: I will answer

thee, that God is greater than man.

JOB 33:13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not

account of any of his matters.

JOB 33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, {yet man} perceiveth

it not.

JOB 33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep

falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

JOB 33:16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their

instruction,

JOB 33:17 That he may withdraw man {from his} purpose, and hide

pride from man.

JOB 33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life

from perishing by the sword.

JOB 33:19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the

multitude of his bones with strong {pain}:

JOB 33:20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty

meat.

JOB 33:21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and

his bones {that} were not seen stick out.

JOB 33:22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life

to the destroyers.

JOB 33:23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one

among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

JOB 33:24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him

from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

JOB 33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall

return to the days of his youth:

JOB 33:26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto

him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto

man his righteousness.

JOB 33:27 He looketh upon men, and {if any} say, I have sinned,

and perverted {that which was} right, and it profited me not;

JOB 33:28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and

his life shall see the light.

JOB 33:29 Lo, all these {things} worketh God oftentimes with man,

JOB 33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened

with the light of the living.

JOB 33:31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and

I will speak.

JOB 33:32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I

desire to justify thee.

JOB 33:33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall

teach thee wisdom.

JOB 34:1 Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

JOB 34:2 Hear my words, O ye wise {men}; and give ear unto me, ye

that have knowledge.

JOB 34:3 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

JOB 34:4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among

ourselves what {is} good.

JOB 34:5 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken

away my judgment.

JOB 34:6 Should I lie against my right? my wound {is} incurable

without transgression.

JOB 34:7 What man {is} like Job, {who} drinketh up scorning like

water?

JOB 34:8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and

walketh with wicked men.

JOB 34:9 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he

should delight himself with God.

JOB 34:10 Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far

be it from God, {that he should do} wickedness; and {from} the

Almighty, {that he should commit} iniquity.

JOB 34:11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and

cause every man to find according to {his} ways.

JOB 34:12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the

Almighty pervert judgment.

JOB 34:13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath

disposed the whole world?

JOB 34:14 If he set his heart upon man, {if} he gather unto

himself his spirit and his breath;

JOB 34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn

again unto dust.

JOB 34:16 If now {thou hast} understanding, hear this: hearken to

the voice of my words.

JOB 34:17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou

condemn him that is most just?

JOB 34:18 {Is it fit} to say to a king, {Thou art} wicked? {and}

to princes, {Ye are} ungodly?

JOB 34:19 {How much less to him} that accepteth not the persons

of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they

all {are} the work of his hands.

JOB 34:20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be

troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be

taken away without hand.

JOB 34:21 For his eyes {are} upon the ways of man, and he seeth

all his goings.

JOB 34:22 {There is} no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the

workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

JOB 34:23 For he will not lay upon man more {than right}; that he

should enter into judgment with God.

JOB 34:24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and

set others in their stead.

JOB 34:25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth

{them} in the night, so that they are destroyed.

JOB 34:26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of

others;

JOB 34:27 Because they turned back from him, and would not

consider any of his ways:

JOB 34:28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto

him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

JOB 34:29 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble?

and when he hideth {his} face, who then can behold him? whether

{it be done} against a nation, or against a man only:

JOB 34:30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be

ensnared.

JOB 34:31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne

{chastisement}, I will not offend {any more}:

JOB 34:32 {That which} I see not teach thou me: if I have done

iniquity, I will do no more.

JOB 34:33 {Should it be} according to thy mind? he will

recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and

not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.

JOB 34:34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man

hearken unto me.

JOB 34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words {were}

without wisdom.

JOB 34:36 My desire {is that} Job may be tried unto the end

because of {his} answers for wicked men.

JOB 34:37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth {his

hands} among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

JOB 35:1 Elihu spake moreover, and said,

JOB 35:2 Thinkest thou this to be right, {that} thou saidst, My

righteousness {is} more than God's?

JOB 35:3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee?

{and}, What profit shall I have, {if I be cleansed} from my sin?

JOB 35:4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

JOB 35:5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds

{which} are higher than thou.

JOB 35:6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or {if}

thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

JOB 35:7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what

receiveth he of thine hand?

JOB 35:8 Thy wickedness {may hurt} a man as thou {art}; and thy

righteousness {may profit} the son of man.

JOB 35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make {the

oppressed} to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the

mighty.

JOB 35:10 But none saith, Where {is} God my maker, who giveth

songs in the night;

JOB 35:11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and

maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

JOB 35:12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the

pride of evil men.

JOB 35:13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the

Almighty regard it.

JOB 35:14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, {yet}

judgment {is} before him; therefore trust thou in him.

JOB 35:15 But now, because {it is} not {so}, he hath visited in

his anger; yet he knoweth {it} not in great extremity:

JOB 35:16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he

multiplieth words without knowledge.

JOB 36:1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,

JOB 36:2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that {I have}

yet to speak on God's behalf.

JOB 36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe

righteousness to my Maker.

JOB 36:4 For truly my words {shall} not {be} false: he that is

perfect in knowledge {is} with thee.

JOB 36:5 Behold, God {is} mighty, and despiseth not {any: he is}

mighty in strength {and} wisdom.

JOB 36:6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth

right to the poor.

JOB 36:7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with

kings {are} {they} on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for

ever, and they are exalted.

JOB 36:8 And if {they be} bound in fetters, {and} be holden in

cords of affliction;

JOB 36:9 Then he sheweth them their work, and their

transgressions that they have exceeded.

JOB 36:10 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth

that they return from iniquity.

JOB 36:11 If they obey and serve {him}, they shall spend their

days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

JOB 36:12 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword,

and they shall die without knowledge.

JOB 36:13 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not

when he bindeth them.

JOB 36:14 They die in youth, and their life {is} among the

unclean.

JOB 36:15 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth

their ears in oppression.

JOB 36:16 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait

{into} a broad place, where {there is} no straitness; and that

which should be set on thy table {should be} full of fatness.

JOB 36:17 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked:

judgment and justice take hold {on thee}.

JOB 36:18 Because {there is} wrath, {beware} lest he take thee

away with {his} stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.

JOB 36:19 Will he esteem thy riches? {no}, not gold, nor all the

forces of strength.

JOB 36:20 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their

place.

JOB 36:21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou

chosen rather than affliction.

JOB 36:22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like

him?

JOB 36:23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou

hast wrought iniquity?

JOB 36:24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.

JOB 36:25 Every man may see it; man may behold {it} afar off.

JOB 36:26 Behold, God {is} great, and we know {him} not, neither

can the number of his years be searched out.

JOB 36:27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down

rain according to the vapour thereof:

JOB 36:28 Which the clouds do drop {and} distil upon man

abundantly.

JOB 36:29 Also can {any} understand the spreadings of the clouds,

or the noise of his tabernacle?

JOB 36:30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth

the bottom of the sea.

JOB 36:31 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in

abundance.

JOB 36:32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it

{not to shine} by {the cloud} that cometh betwixt.

JOB 36:33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle

also concerning the vapour.

JOB 37:1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his

place.

JOB 37:2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound

{that} goeth out of his mouth.

JOB 37:3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his

lightning unto the ends of the earth.

JOB 37:4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice

of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is

heard.

JOB 37:5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things

doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

JOB 37:6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou {on} the earth;

likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his

strength.

JOB 37:7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may

know his work.

JOB 37:8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their

places.

JOB 37:9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of

the north.

JOB 37:10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of

the waters is straitened.

JOB 37:11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he

scattereth his bright cloud:

JOB 37:12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they

may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world

in the earth.

JOB 37:13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for

his land, or for mercy.

JOB 37:14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the

wondrous works of God.

JOB 37:15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the

light of his cloud to shine?

JOB 37:16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the

wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

JOB 37:17 How thy garments {are} warm, when he quieteth the earth

by the south {wind}?

JOB 37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, {which is}

strong, {and} as a molten looking glass?

JOB 37:19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; {for} we cannot

order {our speech} by reason of darkness.

JOB 37:20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak,

surely he shall be swallowed up.

JOB 37:21 And now {men} see not the bright light which {is} in

the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

JOB 37:22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God {is}

terrible majesty.

JOB 37:23 {Touching} the Almighty, we cannot find him out: {he

is} excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of

justice: he will not afflict.

JOB 37:24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any {that

are} wise of heart.

JOB 38:1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and

said,

JOB 38:2 Who {is} this that darkeneth counsel by words without

knowledge?

JOB 38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of

thee, and answer thou me.

JOB 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the

earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

JOB 38:5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or

who hath stretched the line upon it?

JOB 38:6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who

laid the corner stone thereof;

JOB 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons

of God shouted for joy?

JOB 38:8 Or {who} shut up the sea with doors, when it brake

forth, {as if} it had issued out of the womb?

JOB 38:9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick

darkness a swaddlingband for it,

JOB 38:10 And brake up for it my decreed {place}, and set bars

and doors,

JOB 38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and

here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

JOB 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; {and}

caused the dayspring to know his place;

JOB 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that

the wicked might be shaken out of it?

JOB 38:14 It is turned as clay {to} the seal; and they stand as a

garment.

JOB 38:15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the

high arm shall be broken.

JOB 38:16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast

thou walked in the search of the depth?

JOB 38:17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast

thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

JOB 38:18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare

if thou knowest it all.

JOB 38:19 Where {is} the way {where} light dwelleth? and {as for}

darkness, where {is} the place thereof,

JOB 38:20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and

that thou shouldest know the paths {to} the house thereof?

JOB 38:21 Knowest thou {it}, because thou wast then born? or

{because} the number of thy days {is} great?

JOB 38:22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or

hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

JOB 38:23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble,

against the day of battle and war?

JOB 38:24 By what way is the light parted, {which} scattereth the

east wind upon the earth?

JOB 38:25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of

waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

JOB 38:26 To cause it to rain on the earth, {where} no man {is;

on} the wilderness, wherein {there is} no man;

JOB 38:27 To satisfy the desolate and waste {ground}; and to

cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

JOB 38:28 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops

of dew?

JOB 38:29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of

heaven, who hath gendered it?

JOB 38:30 The waters are hid as {with} a stone, and the face of

the deep is frozen.

JOB 38:31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or

loose the bands of Orion?

JOB 38:32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or

canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

JOB 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set

the dominion thereof in the earth?

JOB 38:34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that

abundance of waters may cover thee?

JOB 38:35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say

unto thee, Here we {are}?

JOB 38:36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath

given understanding to the heart?

JOB 38:37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay

the bottles of heaven,

JOB 38:38 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods

cleave fast together?

JOB 38:39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the

appetite of the young lions,

JOB 38:40 When they couch in {their} dens, {and} abide in the

covert to lie in wait?

JOB 38:41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young

ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

JOB 39:1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock

bring forth? {or} canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

JOB 39:2 Canst thou number the months {that} they fulfil? or

knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

JOB 39:3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones,

they cast out their sorrows.

JOB 39:4 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with

corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.

JOB 39:5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed

the bands of the wild ass?

JOB 39:6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren

land his dwellings.

JOB 39:7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth

he the crying of the driver.

JOB 39:8 The range of the mountains {is} his pasture, and he

searcheth after every green thing.

JOB 39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by

thy crib?

JOB 39:10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the

furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

JOB 39:11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength {is} great?

or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

JOB 39:12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy

seed, and gather {it into} thy barn?

JOB 39:13 {Gavest thou} the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or

wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

JOB 39:14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them

in dust,

JOB 39:15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that

the wild beast may break them.

JOB 39:16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though {they

were} not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;

JOB 39:17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath

he imparted to her understanding.

JOB 39:18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth

the horse and his rider.

JOB 39:19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed

his neck with thunder?

JOB 39:20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory

of his nostrils {is} terrible.

JOB 39:21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in {his}

strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.

JOB 39:22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither

turneth he back from the sword.

JOB 39:23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear

and the shield.

JOB 39:24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage:

neither believeth he that {it is} the sound of the trumpet.

JOB 39:25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth

the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the

shouting.

JOB 39:26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, {and} stretch her

wings toward the south?

JOB 39:27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her

nest on high?

JOB 39:28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of

the rock, and the strong place.

JOB 39:29 From thence she seeketh the prey, {and} her eyes behold

afar off.

JOB 39:30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain

{are}, there {is} she.

JOB 40:1 Moreover the Lord answered Job, and said,

JOB 40:2 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct

{him}? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

JOB 40:3 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,

JOB 40:4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay

mine hand upon my mouth.

JOB 40:5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice;

but I will proceed no further.

JOB 40:6 Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the whirlwind,

and said,

JOB 40:7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee,

and declare thou unto me.

JOB 40:8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn

me, that thou mayest be righteous?

JOB 40:9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a

voice like him?

JOB 40:10 Deck thyself now {with} majesty and excellency; and

array thyself with glory and beauty.

JOB 40:11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one

{that is} proud, and abase him.

JOB 40:12 Look on every one {that is} proud, {and} bring him low;

and tread down the wicked in their place.

JOB 40:13 Hide them in the dust together; {and} bind their faces

in secret.

JOB 40:14 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right

hand can save thee.

JOB 40:15 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth

grass as an ox.

JOB 40:16 Lo now, his strength {is} in his loins, and his force

{is} in the navel of his belly.

JOB 40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his

stones are wrapped together.

JOB 40:18 His bones {are as} strong pieces of brass; his bones

{are} like bars of iron.

JOB 40:19 He {is} the chief of the ways of God: he that made him

can make his sword to approach {unto him}.

JOB 40:20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all

the beasts of the field play.

JOB 40:21 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the

reed, and fens.

JOB 40:22 The shady trees cover him {with} their shadow; the

willows of the brook compass him about.

JOB 40:23 Behold, he drinketh up a river, {and} hasteth not: he

trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

JOB 40:24 He taketh it with his eyes: {his} nose pierceth through

snares.

JOB 41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his

tongue with a cord {which} thou lettest down?

JOB 41:2 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw

through with a thorn?

JOB 41:3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak

soft {words} unto thee?

JOB 41:4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him

for a servant for ever?

JOB 41:5 Wilt thou play with him as {with} a bird? or wilt thou

bind him for thy maidens?

JOB 41:6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they

part him among the merchants?

JOB 41:7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head

with fish spears?

JOB 41:8 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no

more.

JOB 41:9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not {one} be

cast down even at the sight of him?

JOB 41:10 None {is so} fierce that dare stir him up: who then is

able to stand before me?

JOB 41:11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay {him?

whatsoever is} under the whole heaven is mine.

JOB 41:12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his

comely proportion.

JOB 41:13 Who can discover the face of his garment? {or} who can

come {to him} with his double bridle?

JOB 41:14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth {are}

terrible round about.

JOB 41:15 {His} scales {are his} pride, shut up together {as

with} a close seal.

JOB 41:16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between

them.

JOB 41:17 They are joined one to another, they stick together,

that they cannot be sundered.

JOB 41:18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes {are}

like the eyelids of the morning.

JOB 41:19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, {and} sparks of fire

leap out.

JOB 41:20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as {out} of a seething

pot or caldron.

JOB 41:21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his

mouth.

JOB 41:22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned

into joy before him.

JOB 41:23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are

firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

JOB 41:24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a

piece of the nether {millstone}.

JOB 41:25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by

reason of breakings they purify themselves.

JOB 41:26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the

spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

JOB 41:27 He esteemeth iron as straw, {and} brass as rotten wood.

JOB 41:28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned

with him into stubble.

JOB 41:29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the

shaking of a spear.

JOB 41:30 Sharp stones {are} under him: he spreadeth sharp

pointed things upon the mire.

JOB 41:31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the

sea like a pot of ointment.

JOB 41:32 He maketh a path to shine after him; {one} would think

the deep {to be} hoary.

JOB 41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without

fear.

JOB 41:34 He beholdeth all high {things}: he {is} a king over all

the children of pride.

JOB 42:1 Then Job answered the Lord, and said,

JOB 42:2 I know that thou canst do every {thing}, and {that} no

thought can be withholden from thee.

JOB 42:3 Who {is} he that hideth counsel without knowledge?

therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too

wonderful for me, which I knew not.

JOB 42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of

thee, and declare thou unto me.

JOB 42:5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now

mine eye seeth thee.

JOB 42:6 Wherefore I abhor {myself}, and repent in dust and

ashes.

JOB 42:7 And it was {so}, that after the Lord had spoken these

words unto Job, the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath

is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have

not spoken of me {the thing that is} right, as my servant Job

{hath}.

JOB 42:8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven

rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a

burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him

will I accept: lest I deal with you {after your} folly, in that

ye have not spoken of me {the thing which is} right, like my

servant Job.

JOB 42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite {and}

Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord

commanded them: the Lord also accepted Job.

JOB 42:10 And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he

prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as

he had before.

JOB 42:11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his

sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before,

and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him,

and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought

upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one

an earring of gold.

JOB 42:12 So the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his

beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand

camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

JOB 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.

JOB 42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the

name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third,

Kerenhappuch.

JOB 42:15 And in all the land were no women found {so} fair as

the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance

among their brethren.

JOB 42:16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and

saw his sons, and his sons' sons, {even} four generations.

JOB 42:17 So Job died, {being} old and full of days.
