{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 counsellors 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} O 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 no thing; 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 enquire, 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 counsellors 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} Oh 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} Oh 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
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} Oh 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 counseled [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 cliffs 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} Hath 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, Keren-happuch.
{Job 42:15} And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the
daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their
brethren. {Job 42:16} 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.
