,from www4ebible4org with slight reformatting by ,martin ,ward4 ,book #ah ,job #jja3jja ,there was a man in the land of ,uz1 whose name was ,job4 ,that man was blameless and upright1 and one who feared ,god1 and turned away from evil4 #jja3jjb ,there were born to him seven sons and three daughters4 #jja3jjc ,his possessions also were seven thousand sheep1 three thousand camels1 five hundred yoke of oxen1 five hundred female donkeys1 and a very great household2 so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east4 #jja3jjd ,his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one on his birthday2 and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them4 #jja3jje ,it was so1 when the days of their feasting had run their course1 that ,job sent and sanctified them1 and rose up early in the morning1 and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all4 ,for ,job said1 ,it may be that my sons have sinned1 and renounced ,god in their hearts4 ,thus did ,job continually4 #jja3jjf ,now it happened on the day when the ,god's sons came to present themselves before ,yahweh1 that ,satan also came among them4 #jja3jjg ,yahweh said to ,satan1 ,where have you come from8 ,then ,satan answered ,yahweh1 and said1 ,from going back and forth in the earth1 and from walking up and down in it4 #jja3jjh ,yahweh said to ,satan1 ,have you considered my servant1 ,job8 ,for there is none like him in the earth1 a blameless and an upright man1 one who fears ,god1 and turns away from evil4 #jja3jji ,then ,satan answered ,yahweh1 and said1 ,does ,job fear ,god for nothing8 #jja3jaj ,haven't you made a hedge around him1 and around his house1 and around all that he has1 on every side8 ,you have blessed the work of his hands1 and his substance is increased in the land4 #jja3jaa ,but put forth your hand now1 and touch all that he has1 and he will renounce you to your face4 #jja3jab ,yahweh said to ,satan1 ,behold1 all that he has is in your power4 ,only on himself don't put forth your hand4 ,so ,satan went forth from the presence of ,yahweh4 #jja3jac ,it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house1 #jja3jad that there came a messenger to ,job1 and said1 ,the oxen were plowing1 and the donkeys feeding beside them1 #jja3jae and the ,sabeans attacked1 and took them away4 ,yes1 they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword1 and ,i alone have escaped to tell you4 #jja3jaf ,while he was still speaking1 there also came another1 and said1 ,the fire of ,god has fallen from the sky1 and has burned up the sheep and the servants1 and consumed them1 and ,i alone have escaped to tell you4 #jja3jag ,while he was still speaking1 there came also another1 and said1 ,the ,chaldeans made three bands1 and swept down on the camels1 and have taken them away1 yes1 and killed the servants with the edge of the sword2 and ,i alone have escaped to tell you4 #jja3jah ,while he was still speaking1 there came also another1 and said1 ,your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house1 #jja3jai and behold1 there came a great wind from the wilderness1 and struck the four corners of the house1 and it fell on the young men1 and they are dead4 ,i alone have escaped to tell you4 #jja3jbj ,then ,job arose1 and tore his robe1 and shaved his head1 and fell down on the ground1 and worshiped4 #jja3jba ,he said1 ,naked ,i came out of my mother's womb1 and naked shall ,i return there4 ,yahweh gave1 and ,yahweh has taken away4 ,blessed be the name of ,yahweh4 #jja3jbb ,in all this1 ,job did not sin1 nor charge ,god with wrongdoing4 #jjb3jja ,again it happened on the day when the ,god's sons came to present themselves before ,yahweh1 that ,satan came also among them to present himself before ,yahweh4 #jjb3jjb ,yahweh said to ,satan1 ,where have you come from8 ,satan answered ,yahweh1 and said1 ,from going back and forth in the earth1 and from walking up and down in it4 #jjb3jjc ,yahweh said to ,satan1 ,have you considered my servant ,job8 ,for there is none like him in the earth1 a blameless and an upright man1 one who fears ,god1 and turns away from evil4 ,he still maintains his integrity1 although you incited me against him1 to ruin him without cause4 #jjb3jjd ,satan answered ,yahweh1 and said1 ,skin for skin4 ,yes1 all that a man has he will give for his life4 #jjb3jje ,but put forth your hand now1 and touch his bone and his flesh1 and he will renounce you to your face4 #jjb3jjf ,yahweh said to ,satan1 ,behold1 he is in your hand4 ,only spare his life4 #jjb3jjg ,so ,satan went forth from the presence of ,yahweh1 and struck ,job with painful sores from the sole of his foot to his head4 #jjb3jjh ,he took for himself a potsherd to scrape himself with1 and he sat among the ashes4 #jjb3jji ,then his wife said to him1 ,do you still maintain your integrity8 ,renounce ,god1 and die4 #jjb3jaj ,but he said to her1 ,you speak as one of the foolish women would speak4 ,what8 ,shall we receive good at the hand of ,god1 and shall we not receive evil8 ,in all this ,job didn't sin with his lips4 #jjb3jaa ,now when ,job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come on him1 they each came from his own place3 ,eliphaz the ,temanite1 ,bildad the ,shuhite1 and ,zophar the ,naamathite1 and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and to comfort him4 #jjb3jab ,when they lifted up their eyes from a distance1 and didn't recognize him1 they raised their voices1 and wept2 and they each tore his robe1 and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky4 #jjb3jac ,so they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights1 and none spoke a word to him1 for they saw that his grief was very great4 #jjc3jja ,after this ,job opened his mouth1 and cursed the day of his birth4 #jjc3jjb ,job answered3 #jjc3jjc ,let the day perish in which ,i was born1 the night which said1 ',there is a boy conceived4' #jjc3jjd ,let that day be darkness4 ,don't let ,god from above seek for it1 neither let the light shine on it4 #jjc3jje ,let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own4 ,let a cloud dwell on it4 ,let all that makes black the day terrify it4 #jjc3jjf ,as for that night1 let thick darkness seize on it4 ,let it not rejoice among the days of the year4 ,let it not come into the number of the months4 #jjc3jjg ,behold1 let that night be barren4 ,let no joyful voice come therein4 #jjc3jjh ,let them curse it who curse the day1 who are ready to rouse up leviathan4 #jjc3jji ,let the stars of the twilight of it be dark4 ,let it look for light1 but have none1 neither let it see the eyelids of the morning1 #jjc3jaj because it didn't shut up the doors of my mother's womb1 nor did it hide trouble from my eyes4 #jjc3jaa ,why didn't ,i die from the womb8 ,why didn't ,i give up the spirit when my mother bore me8 #jjc3jab ,why did the knees receive me8 ,or why the breast1 that ,i should suck8 #jjc3jac ,for now should ,i have lain down and been quiet4 ,i should have slept1 then ,i would have been at rest1 #jjc3jad with kings and counselors of the earth1 who built up waste places for themselves2 #jjc3jae or with princes who had gold1 who filled their houses with silver3 #jjc3jaf or as a hidden untimely birth ,i had not been1 as infants who never saw light4 #jjc3jag ,there the wicked cease from troubling4 ,there the weary are at rest4 #jjc3jah ,there the prisoners are at ease together4 ,they don't hear the voice of the taskmaster4 #jjc3jai ,the small and the great are there4 ,the servant is free from his master4 #jjc3jbj ,why is light given to him who is in misery1 life to the bitter in soul1 #jjc3jba ,who long for death1 but it doesn't come2 and dig for it more than for hidden treasures1 #jjc3jbb who rejoice exceedingly1 and are glad1 when they can find the grave8 #jjc3jbc ,why is light given to a man whose way is hid1 whom ,god has hedged in8 #jjc3jbd ,for my sighing comes before ,i eat4 ,my groanings are poured out like water4 #jjc3jbe ,for the thing which ,i fear comes on me1 ,that which ,i am afraid of comes to me4 #jjc3jbf ,i am not at ease1 neither am ,i quiet1 neither have ,i rest2 but trouble comes4 #jjd3jja ,then ,eliphaz the ,temanite answered1 #jjd3jjb ,if someone ventures to talk with you1 will you be grieved8 ,but who can withhold himself from speaking8 #jjd3jjc ,behold1 you have instructed many1 you have strengthened the weak hands4 #jjd3jjd ,your words have supported him who was falling1 ,you have made firm the feeble knees4 #jjd3jje ,but now it is come to you1 and you faint4 ,it touches you1 and you are troubled4 #jjd3jjf ,isn't your piety your confidence8 ,isn't the integrity of your ways your hope8 #jjd3jjg ,remember1 now1 whoever perished1 being innocent8 ,or where were the upright cut off8 #jjd3jjh ,according to what ,i have seen1 those who plow iniquity1 and sow trouble1 reap the same4 #jjd3jji ,by the breath of ,god they perish4 ,by the blast of his anger are they consumed4 #jjd3jaj ,the roaring of the lion1 and the voice of the fierce lion1 the teeth of the young lions1 are broken4 #jjd3jaa ,the old lion perishes for lack of prey4 ,the cubs of the lioness are scattered abroad4 #jjd3jab ,now a thing was secretly brought to me4 ,my ear received a whisper of it4 #jjd3jac ,in thoughts from the visions of the night1 when deep sleep falls on men1 #jjd3jad fear came on me1 and trembling1 which made all my bones shake4 #jjd3jae ,then a spirit passed before my face4 ,the hair of my flesh stood up4 #jjd3jaf ,it stood still1 but ,i couldn't discern its appearance4 ,a form was before my eyes4 ,silence1 then ,i heard a voice1 saying1 #jjd3jag ',shall mortal man be more just than ,god8 ,shall a man be more pure than his ,maker8 #jjd3jah ,behold1 he puts no trust in his servants4 ,he charges his angels with error4 #jjd3jai ,how much more1 those who dwell in houses of clay1 whose foundation is in the dust1 who are crushed before the moth6 #jjd3jbj ,between morning and evening they are destroyed4 ,they perish forever without any regarding it4 #jjd3jba ,isn't their tent cord plucked up within them8 ,they die1 and that without wisdom4' #jje3jja ,call now2 is there any who will answer you8 ,to which of the holy ones will you turn8 #jje3jjb ,for resentment kills the foolish man1 and jealousy kills the simple4 #jje3jjc ,i have seen the foolish taking root1 but suddenly ,i cursed his habitation4 #jje3jjd ,his children are far from safety4 ,they are crushed in the gate4 ,neither is there any to deliver them1 #jje3jje whose harvest the hungry eats up1 and take it even out of the thorns4 ,the snare gapes for their substance4 #jje3jjf ,for affliction doesn't come forth from the dust1 neither does trouble spring out of the ground2 #jje3jjg but man is born to trouble1 as the sparks fly upward4 #jje3jjh ,but as for me1 ,i would seek ,god4 ,i would commit my cause to ,god1 #jje3jji who does great things that can't be fathomed1 marvelous things without number2 #jje3jaj who gives rain on the earth1 and sends waters on the fields2 #jje3jaa so that he sets up on high those who are low1 those who mourn are exalted to safety4 #jje3jab ,he frustrates the devices of the crafty1 ,so that their hands can't perform their enterprise4 #jje3jac ,he takes the wise in their own craftiness2 the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong4 #jje3jad ,they meet with darkness in the day time1 and grope at noonday as in the night4 #jje3jae ,but he saves from the sword of their mouth1 even the needy from the hand of the mighty4 #jje3jaf ,so the poor has hope1 and injustice shuts her mouth4 #jje3jag ,behold1 happy is the man whom ,god corrects4 ,therefore do not despise the chastening of the ,almighty4 #jje3jah ,for he wounds1 and binds up4 ,he injures1 and his hands make whole4 #jje3jai ,he will deliver you in six troubles2 yes1 in seven there shall no evil touch you4 #jje3jbj ,in famine he will redeem you from death2 in war1 from the power of the sword4 #jje3jba ,you shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue1 neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes4 #jje3jbb ,at destruction and famine you shall laugh1 neither shall you be afraid of the animals of the earth4 #jje3jbc ,for you shall be in league with the stones of the field4 ,the animals of the field shall be at peace with you4 #jje3jbd ,you shall know that your tent is in peace4 ,you shall visit your fold1 and shall miss nothing4 #jje3jbe ,you shall know also that your seed shall be great1 ,your offspring as the grass of the earth4 #jje3jbf ,you shall come to your grave in a full age1 like a shock of grain comes in its season4 #jje3jbg ,look this1 we have searched it1 so it is4 ,hear it1 and know it for your good4 #jjf3jja ,then ,job answered1 #jjf3jjb ,oh that my anguish were weighed1 and all my calamity laid in the balances6 #jjf3jjc ,for now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas1 therefore have my words been rash4 #jjf3jjd ,for the arrows of the ,almighty are within me4 ,my spirit drinks up their poison4 ,the terrors of ,god set themselves in array against me4 #jjf3jje ,does the wild donkey bray when he has grass8 ,or does the ox low over his fodder8 #jjf3jjf ,can that which has no flavor be eaten without salt8 ,or is there any taste in the white of an egg8 #jjf3jjg ,my soul refuses to touch them4 ,they are as loathsome food to me4 #jjf3jjh ,oh that ,i might have my request1 that ,god would grant the thing that ,i long for1 #jjf3jji even that it would please ,god to crush me2 that he would let loose his hand1 and cut me off6 #jjf3jaj ,be it still my consolation1 yes1 let me exult in pain that doesn't spare1 that ,i have not denied the words of the ,holy ,one4 #jjf3jaa ,what is my strength1 that ,i should wait8 ,what is my end1 that ,i should be patient8 #jjf3jab ,is my strength the strength of stones8 ,or is my flesh of brass8 #jjf3jac ,isn't it that ,i have no help in me1 ,that wisdom is driven quite from me8 #jjf3jad ,to him who is ready to faint1 kindness should be shown from his friend2 even to him who forsakes the fear of the ,almighty4 #jjf3jae ,my brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook1 as the channel of brooks that pass away2 #jjf3jaf ,which are black by reason of the ice1 in which the snow hides itself4 #jjf3jag ,in the dry season1 they vanish4 ,when it is hot1 they are consumed out of their place4 #jjf3jah ,the caravans that travel beside them turn aside4 ,they go up into the waste1 and perish4 #jjf3jai ,the caravans of ,tema looked4 ,the companies of ,sheba waited for them4 #jjf3jbj ,they were distressed because they were confident4 ,they came there1 and were confounded4 #jjf3jba ,for now you are nothing4 ,you see a terror1 and are afraid4 #jjf3jbb ,did ,i say1 ',give to me8' or1 ',offer a present for me from your substance8' #jjf3jbc or1 ',deliver me from the adversary's hand8' or1 ',redeem me from the hand of the oppressors8' #jjf3jbd ,teach me1 and ,i will hold my peace4 ,cause me to understand wherein ,i have erred4 #jjf3jbe ,how forcible are words of uprightness6 ,but your reproof1 what does it reprove8 #jjf3jbf ,do you intend to reprove words1 seeing that the speeches of one who is desperate are as wind8 #jjf3jbg ,yes1 you would even cast lots for the fatherless1 and make merchandise of your friend4 #jjf3jbh ,now therefore be pleased to look at me1 for surely ,i shall not lie to your face4 #jjf3jbi ,please return4 ,let there be no injustice4 ,yes1 return again4 ,my cause is righteous4 #jjf3jcj ,is there injustice on my tongue8 ,can't my taste discern mischievous things8 #jjg3jja ,isn't a man forced to labor on earth8 ,aren't his days like the days of a hired hand8 #jjg3jjb ,as a servant who earnestly desires the shadow1 as a hireling who looks for his wages1 #jjg3jjc so am ,i made to possess months of misery1 wearisome nights are appointed to me4 #jjg3jjd ,when ,i lie down1 ,i say1 ',when shall ,i arise1 and the night be gone8' ,i toss and turn until the dawning of the day4 #jjg3jje ,my flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust4 ,my skin closes up1 and breaks out afresh4 #jjg3jjf ,my days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle1 and are spent without hope4 #jjg3jjg ,oh remember that my life is a breath4 ,my eye shall no more see good4 #jjg3jjh ,the eye of him who sees me shall see me no more4 ,your eyes shall be on me1 but ,i shall not be4 #jjg3jji ,as the cloud is consumed and vanishes away1 so he who goes down to ,sheol shall come up no more4 #jjg3jaj ,he shall return no more to his house1 neither shall his place know him any more4 #jjg3jaa ,therefore ,i will not keep silent4 ,i will speak in the anguish of my spirit4 ,i will complain in the bitterness of my soul4 #jjg3jab ,am ,i a sea1 or a sea monster1 that you put a guard over me8 #jjg3jac ,when ,i say1 ',my bed shall comfort me4 ,my couch shall ease my complaint2' #jjg3jad then you scare me with dreams1 and terrify me through visions3 #jjg3jae so that my soul chooses strangling1 death rather than my bones4 #jjg3jaf ,i loathe my life4 ,i don't want to live forever4 ,leave me alone1 for my days are but a breath4 #jjg3jag ,what is man1 that you should magnify him1 that you should set your mind on him1 #jjg3jah that you should visit him every morning1 and test him every moment8 #jjg3jai ,how long will you not look away from me1 nor leave me alone until ,i swallow down my spittle8 #jjg3jbj ,if ,i have sinned1 what do ,i do to you1 you watcher of men8 ,why have you set me as a mark for you1 so that ,i am a burden to myself8 #jjg3jba ,why do you not pardon my disobedience1 and take away my iniquity8 ,for now shall ,i lie down in the dust4 ,you will seek me diligently1 but ,i shall not be4 #jjh3jja ,then ,bildad the ,shuhite answered1 #jjh3jjb ,how long will you speak these things8 ,shall the words of your mouth be a mighty wind8 #jjh3jjc ,does ,god pervert justice8 ,or does the ,almighty pervert righteousness8 #jjh3jjd ,if your children have sinned against him1 ,he has delivered them into the hand of their disobedience4 #jjh3jje ,if you want to seek ,god diligently1 make your supplication to the ,almighty4 #jjh3jjf ,if you were pure and upright1 surely now he would awaken for you1 and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous4 #jjh3jjg ,though your beginning was small1 yet your latter end would greatly increase4 #jjh3jjh ,please inquire of past generations4 ,find out about the learning of their fathers4 #jjh3jji 7,for we are but of yesterday1 and know nothing1 because our days on earth are a shadow47 #jjh3jaj ,shall they not teach you1 tell you1 and utter words out of their heart8 #jjh3jaa ,can the papyrus grow up without mire8 ,can the rushes grow without water8 #jjh3jab ,while it is yet in its greenness1 not cut down1 it withers before any other reed4 #jjh3jac ,so are the paths of all who forget ,god4 ,the hope of the godless man shall perish1 #jjh3jad ,whose confidence shall break apart1 ,whose trust is a spider's web4 #jjh3jae ,he shall lean on his house1 but it shall not stand4 ,he shall cling to it1 but it shall not endure4 #jjh3jaf ,he is green before the sun4 ,his shoots go forth over his garden4 #jjh3jag ,his roots are wrapped around the rock pile4 ,he sees the place of stones4 #jjh3jah ,if he is destroyed from his place1 then it shall deny him1 saying1 ',i have not seen you4' #jjh3jai ,behold1 this is the joy of his way3 out of the earth1 others shall spring4 #jjh3jbj ,behold1 ,god will not cast away a blameless man1 neither will he uphold the evil-doers4 #jjh3jba ,he will still fill your mouth with laughter1 your lips with shouting4 #jjh3jbb ,those who hate you shall be clothed with shame4 ,the tent of the wicked shall be no more4 #jji3jja ,then ,job answered1 #jji3jjb ,truly ,i know that it is so1 but how can man be just with ,god8 #jji3jjc ,if he is pleased to contend with him1 he can't answer him one time in a thousand4 #jji3jjd ,god who is wise in heart1 and mighty in strength3 who has hardened himself against him1 and prospered8 #jji3jje ,he removes the mountains1 and they don't know it1 when he overturns them in his anger4 #jji3jjf ,he shakes the earth out of its place4 ,its pillars tremble4 #jji3jjg ,he commands the sun1 and it doesn't rise1 and seals up the stars4 #jji3jjh ,he alone stretches out the heavens1 and treads on the waves of the sea4 #jji3jji ,he makes the ,bear1 ,orion1 and the ,pleiades1 and the chambers of the south4 #jji3jaj ,he does great things past finding out2 yes1 marvelous things without number4 #jji3jaa ,behold1 he goes by me1 and ,i don't see him4 ,he passes on also1 but ,i don't perceive him4 #jji3jab ,behold1 he snatches away4 ,who can hinder him8 ,who will ask him1 ',what are you doing8' #jji3jac ,god will not withdraw his anger4 ,the helpers of ,rahab stoop under him4 #jji3jad ,how much less shall ,i answer him1 ,and choose my words to argue with him8 #jji3jae ,though ,i were righteous1 yet ,i wouldn't answer him4 ,i would make supplication to my judge4 #jji3jaf ,if ,i had called1 and he had answered me1 yet ,i wouldn't believe that he listened to my voice4 #jji3jag ,for he breaks me with a storm1 and multiplies my wounds without cause4 #jji3jah ,he will not allow me to catch my breath1 but fills me with bitterness4 #jji3jai ,if it is a matter of strength1 behold1 he is mighty6 ,if of justice1 ',who1' says he1 'will summon me8' #jji3jbj ,though ,i am righteous1 my own mouth shall condemn me4 ,though ,i am blameless1 it shall prove me perverse4 #jji3jba ,i am blameless4 ,i don't regard myself4 ,i despise my life4 #jji3jbb ,it is all the same4 ,therefore ,i say he destroys the blameless and the wicked4 #jji3jbc ,if the scourge kills suddenly1 he will mock at the trial of the innocent4 #jji3jbd ,the earth is given into the hand of the wicked4 ,he covers the faces of the judges of it4 ,if not he1 then who is it8 #jji3jbe ,now my days are swifter than a runner4 ,they flee away1 they see no good1 #jji3jbf ,they have passed away as the swift ships1 as the eagle that swoops on the prey4 #jji3jbg ,if ,i say1 ',i will forget my complaint1 ,i will put off my sad face1 and cheer up2' #jji3jbh ,i am afraid of all my sorrows1 ,i know that you will not hold me innocent4 #jji3jbi ,i shall be condemned4 ,why then do ,i labor in vain8 #jji3jcj ,if ,i wash myself with snow1 and cleanse my hands with lye1 #jji3jca yet you will plunge me in the ditch4 ,my own clothes shall abhor me4 #jji3jcb ,for he is not a man1 as ,i am1 that ,i should answer him1 that we should come together in judgment4 #jji3jcc ,there is no umpire between us1 that might lay his hand on us both4 #jji3jcd ,let him take his rod away from me4 ,let his terror not make me afraid2 #jji3jce then ,i would speak1 and not fear him1 for ,i am not so in myself4 #jaj3jja ,my soul is weary of my life4 ,i will give free course to my complaint4 ,i will speak in the bitterness of my soul4 #jaj3jjb ,i will tell ,god1 ',do not condemn me4 ,show me why you contend with me4 #jaj3jjc ,is it good to you that you should oppress1 that you should despise the work of your hands1 and smile on the counsel of the wicked8 #jaj3jjd ,do you have eyes of flesh8 ,or do you see as man sees8 #jaj3jje ,are your days as the days of mortals1 or your years as man's years1 #jaj3jjf that you inquire after my iniquity1 and search after my sin8 #jaj3jjg ,although you know that ,i am not wicked1 there is no one who can deliver out of your hand4 #jaj3jjh ',your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether1 yet you destroy me4 #jaj3jji ,remember1 ,i beg you1 that you have fashioned me as clay4 ,will you bring me into dust again8 #jaj3jaj ,haven't you poured me out like milk1 and curdled me like cheese8 #jaj3jaa ,you have clothed me with skin and flesh1 and knit me together with bones and sinews4 #jaj3jab ,you have granted me life and loving kindness4 ,your visitation has preserved my spirit4 #jaj3jac ,yet you hid these things in your heart4 ,i know that this is with you3 #jaj3jad if ,i sin1 then you mark me4 ,you will not acquit me from my iniquity4 #jaj3jae ,if ,i am wicked1 woe to me4 ,if ,i am righteous1 ,i still shall not lift up my head1 being filled with disgrace1 and conscious of my affliction4 #jaj3jaf ,if my head is held high1 you hunt me like a lion4 ,again you show yourself powerful to me4 #jaj3jag ,you renew your witnesses against me1 and increase your indignation on me4 ,changes and warfare are with me4 #jaj3jah ',why1 then1 have you brought me forth out of the womb8 ,i wish ,i had given up the spirit1 and no eye had seen me4 #jaj3jai ,i should have been as though ,i had not been4 ,i should have been carried from the womb to the grave4 #jaj3jbj ,aren't my days few8 ,cease then4 ,leave me alone1 that ,i may find a little comfort1 #jaj3jba before ,i go where ,i shall not return from1 to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death2 #jaj3jbb the land dark as midnight1 of the shadow of death1 without any order1 where the light is as midnight4' #jaa3jja ,then ,zophar1 the ,naamathite1 answered1 #jaa3jjb ,shouldn't the multitude of words be answered8 ,should a man full of talk be justified8 #jaa3jjc ,should your boastings make men hold their peace8 ,when you mock1 shall no man make you ashamed8 #jaa3jjd ,for you say1 ',my doctrine is pure4 ,i am clean in your eyes4' #jaa3jje ,but oh that ,god would speak1 and open his lips against you1 #jaa3jjf that he would show you the secrets of wisdom6 ,for true wisdom has two sides4 ,know therefore that ,god exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves4 #jaa3jjg ,can you fathom the mystery of ,god8 ,or can you probe the limits of the ,almighty8 #jaa3jjh ,they are high as heaven4 ,what can you do8 ,they are deeper than ,sheol4 ,what can you know8 #jaa3jji ,its measure is longer than the earth1 and broader than the sea4 #jaa3jaj ,if he passes by1 or confines1 or convenes a court1 then who can oppose him8 #jaa3jaa ,for he knows false men4 ,he sees iniquity also1 even though he doesn't consider it4 #jaa3jab ,an empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey's colt4 #jaa3jac ,if you set your heart aright1 stretch out your hands toward him4 #jaa3jad ,if iniquity is in your hand1 put it far away4 ,don't let unrighteousness dwell in your tents4 #jaa3jae ,surely then shall you lift up your face without spot2 ,yes1 you shall be steadfast1 and shall not fear3 #jaa3jaf for you shall forget your misery4 ,you shall remember it as waters that are passed away4 #jaa3jag ,life shall be clearer than the noonday4 ,though there is darkness1 it shall be as the morning4 #jaa3jah ,you shall be secure1 because there is hope4 ,yes1 you shall search1 and shall take your rest in safety4 #jaa3jai ,also you shall lie down1 and none shall make you afraid4 ,yes1 many shall court your favor4 #jaa3jbj ,but the eyes of the wicked shall fail4 ,they shall have no way to flee4 ,their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit4 #jab3jja ,then ,job answered1 #jab3jjb ,no doubt1 but you are the people1 and wisdom shall die with you4 #jab3jjc ,but ,i have understanding as well as you2 ,i am not inferior to you4 ,yes1 who doesn't know such things as these8 #jab3jjd ,i am like one who is a joke to his neighbor1 ,i1 who called on ,god1 and he answered4 ,the just1 the blameless man is a joke4 #jab3jje ,in the thought of him who is at ease there is contempt for misfortune4 ,it is ready for them whose foot slips4 #jab3jjf ,the tents of robbers prosper4 ,those who provoke ,god are secure1 who carry their ,god in their hands4 #jab3jjg ,but ask the animals1 now1

wilderness where there is no way4 #jab3jbe ,they grope in the dark without light4 ,he makes them stagger like a drunken man4 #jac3jja ,behold1 my eye has seen all this4 ,my ear has heard and understood it4 #jac3jjb ,what you know1 ,i know also4 ,i am not inferior to you4 #jac3jjc ,surely ,i would speak to the ,almighty4 ,i desire to reason with ,god4 #jac3jjd ,but you are forgers of lies4

ready at his hand4 #jae3jbd ,distress and anguish make him afraid4 ,they prevail against him1 as a king ready to the battle4 #jae3jbe ,because he has stretched out his hand against ,god1 and behaves

loved have turned against me4 #jai3jbj ,my bones stick to my skin and to my flesh4 ,i have escaped by the skin of my teeth4 #jai3jba ,have pity on me1 have pity on me1 you my friends2 for the hand of ,god has touched me4 #jai3jbb ,why do you persecute me as ,god1 and are not satisfied with my flesh8 #jai3jbc ,oh that my words were now written6 ,oh that they were inscribed in a book6 #jai3jbd ,that

his food in his bowels is turned4 ,it is cobra venom within him4 #jbj3jae ,he has swallowed down riches1 and he shall vomit them up again4 ,god will cast them out of his belly4 #jbj3jaf ,he shall suck cobra venom4 ,the viper's tongue shall kill him4 #jbj3jag ,he shall not look at the rivers1 the flowing streams of honey and butter4 #jbj3jah ,that for which he labored he shall restore1 and shall not swallow it down4 ,according to the substance that he has gotten1 he shall not rejoice4 #jbj3jai ,for he has oppressed and forsaken the poor4 ,he has violently taken away a house1 and he shall not build it up4 #jbj3jbj ,because he knew no quietness within him1 he shall not save anything of that in which he delights4 #jbj3jba ,there was nothing left that he didn't devour1 therefore his

,how often is it that they are as stubble before the wind1 as chaff that the storm carries away8 #jba3jai ,you say1 ',god lays up his iniquity for his children4' ,let him recompense it to himself1 that he may know it4 #jba3jbj ,let his own eyes see his destruction4 ,let him drink of the wrath of the ,almighty4 #jba3jba ,for what does he care for his house after him1 when the number of his

#jbc3jab ,i haven't gone back from the commandment of his lips4 ,i have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food4 #jbc3jac ,but he stands alone1 and who can oppose him8 ,what his soul desires1 even that he does4 #jbc3jad ,for he performs that which is appointed for me4 ,many such things are with him4 #jbc3jae ,therefore ,i am terrified at his presence4 ,when ,i consider1 ,i am afraid of him4 #jbc3jaf ,for ,god has made my heart faint4 ,the ,almighty has terrified me4 #jbc3jag ,because ,i was not cut off before the darkness1 neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face4 #jbd3jja ,why aren't times laid up by the ,almighty8 ,why don't those who know him see his days8 #jbd3jjb ,there are people who remove the landmarks4 ,they violently take away flocks1 and feed them4 #jbd3jjc ,they drive away the donkey of the fatherless1 and they take the widow's ox for a pledge4 #jbd3jjd ,they turn the needy out of the way4 ,the poor of the earth all hide themselves4 #jbd3jje ,behold1 as wild donkeys in the desert1 they go forth to their work1 seeking diligently for food4 ,the wilderness yields them bread for their children4 #jbd3jjf ,they cut their provender in the field4 ,they glean the vineyard of the wicked4 #jbd3jjg ,they lie all night naked without clothing1 and have no covering in the cold4 #jbd3jjh ,they are wet with the showers of the mountains1 and embrace the rock for lack of a shelter4 #jbd3jji ,there are those who pluck the fatherless from the breast1 and take a pledge of the poor1 #jbd3jaj ,so that they go around naked without clothing4 ,being hungry1 they carry the sheaves4 #jbd3jaa ,they make oil within the walls of these men4 ,they tread wine presses1 and suffer thirst4 #jbd3jab ,from out of the populous city1 men groan4 ,the soul of the wounded cries out1 yet ,god doesn't regard the folly4 #jbd3jac ,these are of those who rebel against the light4 ,they don't know its ways1 nor abide in its paths4 #jbd3jad ,the murderer rises with the light4 ,he kills the poor and needy4 ,in the night he is like a thief4 #jbd3jae ,the eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight1 saying1 ',no eye shall see me4' ,he disguises his face4 #jbd3jaf ,in the dark they dig through houses4 ,they shut themselves up in the daytime4 ,they don't know the light4 #jbd3jag ,for the morning is to all of them like thick darkness1 for they know the terrors of the thick darkness4 #jbd3jah ,they are foam on the surface of the waters4 ,their portion is cursed in the earth4 ,they don't turn into the way of the vineyards4 #jbd3jai ,drought and heat consume the snow waters1 so does ,sheol those who have sinned4 #jbd3jbj ,the womb shall forget him4 ,the worm shall feed sweetly on him4 ,he shall be no more remembered4 ,unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree4 #jbd3jba ,he devours the barren who don't bear4 ,he shows no kindness to the widow4 #jbd3jbb ,yet ,god preserves the mighty by his power4 ,he rises up who has no assurance of life4 #jbd3jbc ,god gives them security1 and they rest in it4 ,his eyes are on their ways4 #jbd3jbd ,they are exalted2 yet a little while1 and they are gone4 ,yes1 they are brought low1 they are taken out of the way as all others1 and are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain4 #jbd3jbe ,if it isn't so now1 who will prove me a liar1 and make my speech worth nothing8 #jbe3jja ,then ,bildad the ,shuhite answered1 #jbe3jjb ,dominion and fear are with him4 ,he makes peace in his high places4 #jbe3jjc ,can his armies be counted8 ,on whom does his light not arise8 #jbe3jjd ,how then can man be just with ,god8 ,or how can he who is born of a woman be clean8 #jbe3jje ,behold1 even the moon has no brightness1 and the stars are not pure in his sight2 #jbe3jjf ,how much less man1 who is a worm1 the son of man1 who is a worm6 #jbf3jja ,then ,job answered1 #jbf3jjb ,how have you helped him who is without power6 ,how have you saved the arm that has no strength6 #jbf3jjc ,how have you counseled him who has no wisdom1 and plentifully declared sound knowledge6 #jbf3jjd ,to whom have you uttered words8 ,whose spirit came forth from you8 #jbf3jje ,those who are deceased tremble1 those beneath the waters and all that live in them4 #jbf3jjf ,sheol,sheol is the lower world or the grave4 is naked before ,god1 and ,abaddon,abaddon means ,destroyer4 has no covering4 #jbf3jjg ,he stretches out the north over empty space1 and hangs the earth on nothing4 #jbf3jjh ,he binds up the waters in his thick clouds1 and the cloud is not burst under them4 #jbf3jji ,he encloses the face of his throne1 and spreads his cloud on it4 #jbf3jaj ,he has described a boundary on the surface of the waters1 and to the confines of light and darkness4 #jbf3jaa ,the pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his rebuke4 #jbf3jab ,he stirs up the sea with his power1 and by his understanding he strikes through ,rahab4 #jbf3jac ,by his ,spirit the heavens are garnished4 ,his hand has pierced the swift serpent4 #jbf3jad ,behold1 these are but the outskirts of his ways4 ,how small a whisper do we hear of him6 ,but the thunder of his power who can understand8 #jbg3jja ,job again took up his parable1 and said1 #jbg3jjb ,as ,god lives1 who has taken away my right1 the ,almighty1 who has made my soul bitter4 #jbg3jjc 7,for the length of my life is still in me1 and the spirit of ,god is in my nostrils72 #jbg3jjd surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness1 neither shall my tongue utter deceit4 #jbg3jje ,far be it from me that ,i should justify you4 ,until ,i die ,i will not put away my integrity from me4 #jbg3jjf ,i hold fast to my righteousness1 and will not let it go4 ,my heart shall not reproach me so long as ,i live4 #jbg3jjg ,let my enemy be as the wicked4 ,let him who rises up against me be as the unrighteous4 #jbg3jjh ,for what is the hope of the godless1 when he is cut off1 when ,god takes away his life8 #jbg3jji ,will ,god hear his cry when trouble comes on him8 #jbg3jaj ,will he delight himself in the ,almighty1 and call on ,god at all times8 #jbg3jaa ,i will teach you about the hand of ,god4 ,that which is with the ,almighty will ,i not conceal4 #jbg3jab ,behold1 all of you have seen it yourselves2 why then have you become altogether vain8 #jbg3jac ,this is the portion of a wicked man with ,god1 the heritage of oppressors1 which they receive from the ,almighty4 #jbg3jad ,if his children are multiplied1 it is for the sword4 ,his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread4 #jbg3jae ,those who remain of him shall be buried in death4 ,his widows shall make no lamentation4 #jbg3jaf ,though he heap up silver as the dust1 and prepare clothing as the clay2 #jbg3jag he may prepare it1 but the just shall put it on1 and the innocent shall divide the silver4 #jbg3jah ,he builds his house as the moth1 as a booth which the watchman makes4 #jbg3jai ,he lies down rich1 but he shall not do so again4 ,he opens his eyes1 and he is not4 #jbg3jbj ,terrors overtake him like waters4 ,a storm steals him away in the night4 #jbg3jba ,the east wind carries him away1 and he departs4 ,it sweeps him out of his place4 #jbg3jbb ,for it hurls at him1 and does not spare1 as he flees away from his hand4 #jbg3jbc ,men shall clap their hands at him1 and shall hiss him out of his place4 #jbh3jja ,surely there is a mine for silver1 and a place for gold which they refine4 #jbh3jjb ,iron is taken out of the earth1 and copper is smelted out of the ore4 #jbh3jjc ,man sets an end to darkness1 and searches out1 to the furthest bound1 the stones of obscurity and of thick darkness4 #jbh3jjd ,he breaks open a shaft away from where people live4 ,they are forgotten by the foot4 ,they hang far from men1 they swing back and forth4 #jbh3jje ,as for the earth1 out of it comes bread2 ,underneath it is turned up as it were by fire4 #jbh3jjf ,sapphires come from its rocks4 ,it has dust of gold4 #jbh3jjg ,that path no bird of prey knows1 neither has the falcon's eye seen it4 #jbh3jjh ,the proud animals have not trodden it1 nor has the fierce lion passed by there4 #jbh3jji ,he puts forth his hand on the flinty rock1 and he overturns the mountains by the roots4 #jbh3jaj ,he cuts out channels among the rocks4 ,his eye sees every precious thing4 #jbh3jaa ,he binds the streams that they don't trickle4 ,the thing that is hidden he brings forth to light4 #jbh3jab ,but where shall wisdom be found8 ,where is the place of understanding8 #jbh3jac ,man doesn't know its price2 ,neither is it found in the land of the living4 #jbh3jad ,the deep says1 ',it isn't in me4'

understanding8 #jbh3jba ,seeing it is hidden from the eyes of all living1 and kept close from the birds of the sky4 #jbh3jbb ,destruction and ,death say1 ',we have heard a rumor of it with our ears4' #jbh3jbc ,god understands its way1 and he knows its place4 #jbh3jbd ,for he looks to the ends of the earth1 and sees under the whole sky4 #jbh3jbe ,he establishes the force of the wind4 ,yes1 he measures out the waters by measure4 #jbh3jbf ,when he made a decree for the rain1 and a way for the lightning of the thunder2 #jbh3jbg then he saw it1 and declared it4 ,he established it1 yes1 and searched it out4 #jbh3jbh ,to man he said1 ',behold1 the fear of the ,lord1 that is wisdom4 ,to depart from evil is understanding4' #jbi3jja ,job again took up his parable1 and said1 #jbi3jjb ,oh that ,i were as in the months of old1 as in the days when ,god watched over me2 #jbi3jjc when his lamp shone on my head1 and by his light ,i walked through darkness1 #jbi3jjd as ,i was in the ripeness of my days1 when the friendship of ,god was in my tent1 #jbi3jje when the ,almighty was yet with me1 and my children were around me1 #jbi3jjf when my steps were washed with butter1 and the rock poured out streams of oil for me1 #jbi3jjg when ,i went forth to the city gate1 when ,i prepared my seat in the street4 #jbi3jjh ,the young men saw me and hid themselves4 ,the aged rose up and stood4 #jbi3jji ,the princes refrained from talking1 and laid their hand on their mouth4 #jbi3jaj ,the voice of the nobles was hushed1 and their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth4 #jbi3jaa ,for when the ear heard me1 then it blessed me2 and when the eye saw me1 it commended me3 #jbi3jab ,because ,i delivered the poor who cried1 and the fatherless also1 who had none to help him1 #jbi3jac the blessing of him who was ready to perish came on me1 and ,i caused the widow's heart to sing for joy4 #jbi3jad ,i put on righteousness1 and it clothed me4 ,my justice was as a robe and a diadem4 #jbi3jae ,i was eyes to the blind1 and feet to the lame4 #jbi3jaf ,i was a father to the needy4 ,the cause of him who ,i didn't know1 ,i searched out4 #jbi3jag ,i broke the jaws of the unrighteous1 and plucked the prey out of his teeth4 #jbi3jah ,then ,i said1 ',i shall die in my own house1 ,i shall number my days as the sand4 #jbi3jai ,my root is spread out to the waters4 ,the dew lies all night on my branch4 #jbi3jbj ,my glory is fresh in me4 ,my bow is renewed in my hand4' #jbi3jba ,men listened to me1 waited1 and kept silence for my counsel4 #jbi3jbb ,after my words they didn't speak again4 ,my speech fell on them4 #jbi3jbc ,they waited for me as for the rain4 ,their mouths drank as with the spring rain4 #jbi3jbd ,i smiled on them when they had no confidence4 ,they didn't reject the light of my face4 #jbi3jbe ,i chose out their way1 and sat as chief4 ,i lived as a king in the army1 as one who comforts the mourners4 #jcj3jja ,but now those who are younger than ,i have me in derision1 whose fathers ,i would have disdained to put with my sheep dogs4 #jcj3jjb ,of what use is the strength of their hands to me1 men in whom ripe age has perished8 #jcj3jjc ,they are gaunt from lack and famine4 ,they gnaw the dry ground1 in the gloom of waste and desolation4 #jcj3jjd ,they pluck salt herbs by the bushes4 ,the roots of the broom are their food4 #jcj3jje ,they are driven out from the midst of men4 ,they cry after them as after a thief2 #jcj3jjf ,so that they dwell in frightful valleys1 and in holes of the earth and of the rocks4 #jcj3jjg ,among the bushes they bray2 and under the nettles they are gathered together4 #jcj3jjh ,they are children of fools1 yes1 children of base men4 ,they were flogged out of the land4 #jcj3jji ,now ,i have become their song4 ,yes1 ,i am a byword to them4 #jcj3jaj ,they abhor me1 they stand aloof from me1 and don't hesitate to spit in my face4 #jcj3jaa ,for he has untied his cord1 and afflicted me2 and they have thrown off restraint before me4 #jcj3jab ,on my right hand rise the rabble4 ,they thrust aside my feet1 ,they cast up against me their ways of destruction4 #jcj3jac ,they mar my path1 ,they set forward my calamity1 without anyone's help4 #jcj3jad ,as through a wide breach they come1 in the midst of the ruin they roll themselves in4 #jcj3jae ,terrors have turned on me4 ,they chase my honor as the wind4 ,my welfare has passed away as a cloud4 #jcj3jaf ,now my soul is poured out within me4 ,days of affliction have taken hold on me4 #jcj3jag ,in the night season my bones are pierced in me1 and the pains that gnaw me take no rest4 #jcj3jah ,by great force is my garment disfigured4 ,it binds me about as the collar of my coat4 #jcj3jai ,he has cast me into the mire4 ,i have become like dust and ashes4 #jcj3jbj ,i cry to you1 and you do not answer me4 ,i stand up1 and you gaze at me4 #jcj3jba ,you have turned to be cruel to me4 ,with the might of your hand you persecute me4 #jcj3jbb ,you lift me up to the wind1 and drive me with it4 ,you dissolve me in the storm4 #jcj3jbc ,for ,i know that you will bring me to death1 ,to the house appointed for all living4 #jcj3jbd ,however doesn't one stretch out a hand in his fall8 ,or in his calamity therefore cry for help8 #jcj3jbe ,didn't ,i weep for him who was in trouble8 ,wasn't my soul grieved for the needy8 #jcj3jbf ,when ,i looked for good1 then evil came2 ,when ,i waited for light1 there came darkness4 #jcj3jbg ,my heart is troubled1 and doesn't rest4 ,days of affliction have come on me4 #jcj3jbh ,i go mourning without the sun4 ,i stand up in the assembly1 and cry for help4 #jcj3jbi ,i am a brother to jackals1 and a companion to ostriches4 #jcj3jcj ,my skin grows black and peels from me4 ,my bones are burned with heat4 #jcj3jca ,therefore my harp has turned to mourning1 and my pipe into the voice of those who weep4 #jca3jja ,i made a covenant with my eyes1 how then should ,i look lustfully at a young woman8 #jca3jjb ,for what is the portion from ,god above1 and the heritage from the ,almighty on high8 #jca3jjc ,is it not calamity to the unrighteous1 and disaster to the workers of iniquity8 #jca3jjd ,doesn't he see my ways1 and number all my steps8 #jca3jje ,if ,i have walked with falsehood1 and my foot has hurried to deceit #jca3jjf 7let me be weighed in an even balance1 that ,god may know my integrity72 #jca3jjg if my step has turned out of the way1 if my heart walked after my eyes1 if any defilement has stuck to my hands1 #jca3jjh then let me sow1 and let another eat4 ,yes1 let the produce of my field be rooted out4 #jca3jji ,if my heart has been enticed to a woman1 and ,i have laid wait at my neighbor's door1 #jca3jaj then let my wife grind for another1 and let others sleep with her4 #jca3jaa ,for that would be a heinous crime4 ,yes1 it would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges3 #jca3jab ,for it is a fire that consumes to destruction1 and would root out all my increase4 #jca3jac ,if ,i have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant1 when they contended with me2 #jca3jad ,what then shall ,i do when ,god rises up8 ,when he visits1 what shall ,i answer him8 #jca3jae ,didn't he who made me in the womb make him8 ,didn't one fashion us in the womb8 #jca3jaf ,if ,i have withheld the poor from their desire1 or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail1 #jca3jag or have eaten my morsel alone1 and the fatherless has not eaten of it #jca3jah 7no1 from my youth he grew up with me as with a father1 her have ,i guided from my mother's womb72 #jca3jai if ,i have seen any perish for want of clothing1 or that the needy had no covering2 #jca3jbj if his heart hasn't blessed me1 if he hasn't been warmed with my sheep's fleece2 #jca3jba if ,i have lifted up my hand against the fatherless1 because ,i saw my help in the gate1 #jca3jbb then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder blade1 and my arm be broken from the bone4 #jca3jbc ,for calamity from ,god is a terror to me4 ,because his majesty1 ,i can do nothing4 #jca3jbd ,if ,i have made gold my hope1 and have said to the fine gold1 ',you are my confidence2' #jca3jbe ,if ,i have rejoiced because my wealth was great1 and because my hand had gotten much2 #jca3jbf if ,i have seen the sun when it shined1 or the moon moving in splendor1 #jca3jbg and my heart has been secretly enticed1 and my hand threw a kiss from my mouth1 #jca3jbh this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges2 for ,i should have denied the ,god who is above4 #jca3jbi ,if ,i have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me1 or lifted up myself when evil found him2 #jca3jcj 7yes1 ,i have not allowed my mouth to sin by asking his life with a curse72 #jca3jca if the men of my tent have not said1 ',who can find one who has not been filled with his meat8' #jca3jcb 7the foreigner has not lodged in the street1 but ,i have opened my doors to the traveler72 #jca3jcc if like ,adam ,i have covered my transgressions1 by hiding my iniquity in my heart1 #jca3jcd because ,i feared the great multitude1 and the contempt of families terrified me1 so that ,i kept silence1 and didn't go out of the door-- #jca3jce oh that ,i had one to hear me6 7behold1 here is my signature1 let the ,almighty answer me72 let the accuser write my indictment6 #jca3jcf ,surely ,i would carry it on my shoulder2 and ,i would bind it to me as a crown4 #jca3jcg ,i would declare to him the number of my steps4 as a prince would ,i go near to him4 #jca3jch ,if my land cries out against me1 and the furrows of it weep together2 #jca3jci if ,i have eaten the fruits of it without money1 or have caused the owners of it to lose their life1 #jca3jdj let briars grow instead of wheat1 and stinkweed instead of barley4 ,the words of ,job are ended4 #jcb3jja ,so these three men ceased to answer ,job1 because he was righteous in his own eyes4 #jcb3jjb ,then the wrath of ,elihu the son of ,barachel1 the ,buzite1 of the family of ,ram1 was kindled against ,job4 ,his wrath was kindled because he justified himself rather than ,god4 #jcb3jjc ,also his wrath was kindled against his three friends1 because they had found no answer1 and yet had condemned ,job4 #jcb3jjd ,now ,elihu had waited to speak to ,job1 because they were elder than he4 #jcb3jje ,when ,elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men1 his wrath was kindled4 #jcb3jjf ,elihu the son of ,barachel the ,buzite answered1 ,i am young1 and you are very old2 ,therefore ,i held back1 and didn't dare show you my opinion4 #jcb3jjg ,i said1 ',days should speak1 and multitude of years should teach wisdom4' #jcb3jjh ,but there is a spirit in man1 and the breath of the ,almighty gives them understanding4 #jcb3jji ,it is not the great who are wise1 nor the aged who understand justice4 #jcb3jaj ,therefore ,i said1 ',listen to me2 ,i also will show my opinion4' #jcb3jaa ,behold1 ,i waited for your words1 and ,i listened for your reasoning1 while you searched out what to say4 #jcb3jab ,yes1 ,i gave you my full attention1 but there was no one who convinced ,job1 or who answered his words1 among you4 #jcb3jac ,beware lest you say1 ',we have found wisdom1 ,god may refute him1 not man2' #jcb3jad for he has not directed his words against me2 neither will ,i answer him with your speeches4 #jcb3jae ,they are amazed4 ,they answer no more4 ,they don't have a word to say4 #jcb3jaf ,shall ,i wait1 because they don't speak1 because they stand still1 and answer no more8 #jcb3jag ,i also will answer my part1 and ,i also will show my opinion4 #jcb3jah ,for ,i am full of words4 ,the spirit within me constrains me4 #jcb3jai ,behold1 my breast is as wine which has no vent2 like new wineskins it is ready to burst4 #jcb3jbj ,i will speak1 that ,i may be refreshed4 ,i will open my lips and answer4 #jcb3jba ,please don't let me respect any man's person1 neither will ,i give flattering titles to any man4 #jcb3jbb ,for ,i don't know how to give flattering titles2 or else my ,maker would soon take me away4 #jcc3jja ,however1 ,job1 ,please hear my speech1 and listen to all my words4 #jcc3jjb ,see now1 ,i have opened my mouth4 ,my tongue has spoken in my mouth4 #jcc3jjc ,my words shall utter the uprightness of my heart4 ,that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely4 #jcc3jjd ,the ,spirit of ,god has made me1 and the breath of the ,almighty gives me life4 #jcc3jje ,if you can1 answer me4 ,set your words in order before me1 and stand forth4 #jcc3jjf ,behold1 ,i am toward ,god even as you are4 ,i am also formed out of the clay4 #jcc3jjg ,behold1 my terror shall not make you afraid1 neither shall my pressure be heavy on you4 #jcc3jjh ,surely you have spoken in my hearing1 ,i have heard the voice of your words1 saying1 #jcc3jji ',i am clean1 without disobedience4 ,i am innocent1 neither is there iniquity in me4 #jcc3jaj ,behold1 he finds occasions against me4 ,he counts me for his enemy4 #jcc3jaa ,he puts my feet in the stocks4 ,he marks all my paths4' #jcc3jab ,behold1 ,i will answer you4 ,in this you are not just1 for ,god is greater than man4 #jcc3jac ,why do you strive against him1 because he doesn't give account of any of his matters8 #jcc3jad ,for ,god speaks once1 yes twice1 though man pays no attention4 #jcc3jae ,in a dream1 in a vision of the night1 when deep sleep falls on men1 in slumbering on the bed2 #jcc3jaf ,then he opens the ears of men1 and seals their instruction1 #jcc3jag ,that he may withdraw man from his purpose1 and hide pride from man4 #jcc3jah ,he keeps back his soul from the pit1 and his life from perishing by the sword4 #jcc3jai ,he is chastened also with pain on his bed1 with continual strife in his bones2 #jcc3jbj ,so that his life abhors bread1 and his soul dainty food4 #jcc3jba ,his flesh is so consumed away1 that it can't be seen4 ,his bones that were not seen stick out4 #jcc3jbb ,yes1 his soul draws near to the pit1 and his life to the destroyers4 #jcc3jbc ,if there is beside him an angel1 an interpreter1 one among a thousand1 to show to man what is right for him2 #jcc3jbd then ,god is gracious to him1 and says1 ',deliver him from going down to the pit1 ,i have found a ransom4' #jcc3jbe ,his flesh shall be fresher than a child's4 ,he returns to the days of his youth4 #jcc3jbf ,he prays to ,god1 and he is favorable to him1 so that he sees his face with joy4 ,he restores to man his righteousness4 #jcc3jbg ,he sings before men1 and says1 ',i have sinned1 and perverted that which was right1 and it didn't profit me4 #jcc3jbh ,he has redeemed my soul from going into the pit4 ,my life shall see the light4' #jcc3jbi ,behold1 ,god works all these things1 twice1 yes three times1 with a man1 #jcc3jcj to bring back his soul from the pit1 that he may be enlightened with the light of the living4 #jcc3jca ,mark well1 ,job1 and listen to me4 ,hold your peace1 and ,i will speak4 #jcc3jcb ,if you have anything to say1 answer me4 ,speak1 for ,i desire to justify you4 #jcc3jcc ,if not1 listen to me4 ,hold your peace1 and ,i will teach you wisdom4 #jcd3jja ,moreover ,elihu answered1 #jcd3jjb ,hear my words1 you wise men4 ,give ear to me1 you who have knowledge4 #jcd3jjc ,for the ear tries words1 as the palate tastes food4 #jcd3jjd ,let us choose for us that which is right4 ,let us know among ourselves what is good4 #jcd3jje ,for ,job has said1 ',i am righteous1 ,god has taken away my right3 #jcd3jjf ,notwithstanding my right ,i am considered a liar4 ,my wound is incurable1 though ,i am without disobedience4' #jcd3jjg ,what man is like ,job1 who drinks scorn like water1 #jcd3jjh ,who goes in company with the workers of iniquity1 and walks with wicked men8 #jcd3jji ,for he has said1 ',it profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with ,god4' #jcd3jaj ,therefore listen to me1 you men of understanding3 far be it from ,god1 that he should do wickedness1 from the ,almighty1 that he should commit iniquity4 #jcd3jaa ,for the work of a man he will render to him1 and cause every man to find according to his ways4 #jcd3jab ,yes surely1 ,god will not do wickedly1 neither will the ,almighty pervert justice4 #jcd3jac ,who gave him a charge over the earth8 or who has appointed him over the whole world8 #jcd3jad ,if he set his heart on himself1 ,if he gathered to himself his spirit and his breath1 #jcd3jae all flesh would perish together1 and man would turn again to dust4 #jcd3jaf ,if now you have understanding1 hear this4 ,listen to the voice of my words4 #jcd3jag ,shall even one who hates justice govern8 ,will you condemn him who is righteous and mighty8-- #jcd3jah ,who says to a king1 ',vile6' or to nobles1 ',wicked6'8 #jcd3jai ,who doesn't respect the persons of princes1 nor regards the rich more than the poor2 for they all are the work of his hands4 #jcd3jbj ,in a moment they die1 even at midnight4 ,the people are shaken and pass away4 ,the mighty are taken away without a hand4 #jcd3jba ,for his eyes are on the ways of a man4 ,he sees all his goings4 #jcd3jbb ,there is no darkness1 nor thick gloom1 where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves4 #jcd3jbc ,for he doesn't need to consider a man further1 that he should go before ,god in judgment4 #jcd3jbd ,he breaks in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out1 and sets others in their place4 #jcd3jbe ,therefore he takes knowledge of their works4 ,he overturns them in the night1 so that they are destroyed4 #jcd3jbf ,he strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others2 #jcd3jbg because they turned aside from following him1 and wouldn't pay attention to any of his ways1 #jcd3jbh so that they caused the cry of the poor to come to him4 ,he heard the cry of the afflicted4 #jcd3jbi ,when he gives quietness1 who then can condemn8 ,when he hides his face1 who then can see him8 ,alike whether to a nation1 or to a man1 #jcd3jcj that the godless man may not reign1 that there be no one to ensnare the people4 #jcd3jca ,for has any said to ,god1 ',i am guilty1 but ,i will not offend any more4 #jcd3jcb ,teach me that which ,i don't see4 ,if ,i have done iniquity1 ,i will do it no more'8 #jcd3jcc ,shall his recompense be as you desire1 that you refuse it8 ,for you must choose1 and not ,i4 ,therefore speak what you know4 #jcd3jcd ,men of understanding will tell me1 yes1 every wise man who hears me3 #jcd3jce ',job speaks without knowledge4 ,his words are without wisdom4' #jcd3jcf ,i wish that ,job were tried to the end1 because of his answering like wicked men4 #jcd3jcg ,for he adds rebellion to his sin4 ,he claps his hands among us1 and multiplies his words against ,god4 #jce3jja ,moreover ,elihu answered1 #jce3jjb ,do you think this to be your right1 or do you say1 ',my righteousness is more than ,god's1' #jce3jjc ,that you ask1 ',what advantage will it be to you8 ,what profit shall ,i have1 more than if ,i had sinned8' #jce3jjd ,i will answer you1 and your companions with you4 #jce3jje ,look to the heavens1 and see4 ,see the skies1 which are higher than you4 #jce3jjf ,if you have sinned1 what effect do you have against him8 ,if your transgressions are multiplied1 what do you do to him8 #jce3jjg ,if you are righteous1 what do you give him8 ,or what does he receive from your hand8 #jce3jjh ,your wickedness may hurt a man as you are1 and your righteousness may profit a son of man4 #jce3jji ,by reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out4 ,they cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty4 #jce3jaj ,but none says1 ',where is ,god my ,maker1 who gives songs in the night1 #jce3jaa who teaches us more than the animals of the earth1 and makes us wiser than the birds of the sky8' #jce3jab ,there they cry1 but none gives answer1 because of the pride of evil men4 #jce3jac ,surely ,god will not hear an empty cry1 neither will the ,almighty regard it4 #jce3jad ,how much less when you say you don't see him4 ,the cause is before him1 and you wait for him6 #jce3jae ,but now1 because he has not visited in his anger1 neither does he greatly regard arrogance4 #jce3jaf ,therefore ,job opens his mouth with empty talk1 and he multiplies words without knowledge4 #jcf3jja ,elihu also continued1 and said1 #jcf3jjb ,bear with me a little1 and ,i will show you2 for ,i still have something to say on ,god's behalf4 #jcf3jjc ,i will get my knowledge from afar1 and will ascribe righteousness to my ,maker4 #jcf3jjd ,for truly my words are not false4 ,one who is perfect in knowledge is with you4 #jcf3jje ,behold1 ,god is mighty1 and doesn't despise anyone4 ,he is mighty in strength of understanding4 #jcf3jjf ,he doesn't preserve the life of the wicked1 but gives to the afflicted their right4 #jcf3jjg ,he doesn't withdraw his eyes from the righteous1 but with kings on the throne1 he sets them forever1 and they are exalted4 #jcf3jjh ,if they are bound in fetters1 and are taken in the cords of afflictions1 #jcf3jji then he shows them their work1 and their transgressions1 that they have behaved themselves proudly4 #jcf3jaj ,he also opens their ears to instruction1 and commands that they return from iniquity4 #jcf3jaa ,if they listen and serve him1 they shall spend their days in prosperity1 and their years in pleasures4 #jcf3jab ,but if they don't listen1 they shall perish by the sword2 they shall die without knowledge4 #jcf3jac ,but those who are godless in heart lay up anger4 ,they don't cry for help when he binds them4 #jcf3jad ,they die in youth4 ,their life perishes among the unclean4 #jcf3jae ,he delivers the afflicted by their affliction1 and opens their ear in oppression4 #jcf3jaf ,yes1 he would have allured you out of distress1 into a broad place1 where there is no restriction4 ,that which is set on your table would be full of fatness4 #jcf3jag ,but you are full of the judgment of the wicked4 ,judgment and justice take hold of you4 #jcf3jah ,don't let riches entice you to wrath1 neither let the great size of a bribe turn you aside4 #jcf3jai ,would your wealth sustain you in distress1 or all the might of your strength8 #jcf3jbj ,don't desire the night1 when people are cut off in their place4 #jcf3jba ,take heed1 don't regard iniquity2 for you have chosen this rather than affliction4 #jcf3jbb ,behold1 ,god is exalted in his power4 ,who is a teacher like him8 #jcf3jbc ,who has prescribed his way for him8 ,or who can say1 ',you have committed unrighteousness8' #jcf3jbd ,remember that you magnify his work1 whereof men have sung4 #jcf3jbe ,all men have looked thereon4 ,man sees it afar off4 #jcf3jbf ,behold1 ,god is great1 and we don't know him4 ,the number of his years is unsearchable4 #jcf3jbg ,for he draws up the drops of water1 which distill in rain from his vapor1 #jcf3jbh ,which the skies pour down and which drop on man abundantly4 #jcf3jbi ,yes1 can any understand the spreading of the clouds1 and the thunderings of his pavilion8 #jcf3jcj ,behold1 he spreads his light around him4 ,he covers the bottom of the sea4 #jcf3jca ,for by these he judges the people4 ,he gives food in abundance4 #jcf3jcb ,he covers his hands with the lightning1 and commands it to strike the mark4 #jcf3jcc ,its noise tells about him1 and the livestock also concerning the storm that comes up4 #jcg3jja ,yes1 at this my heart trembles1 and is moved out of its place4 #jcg3jjb ,hear1 oh1 hear the noise of his voice1 the sound that goes out of his mouth4 #jcg3jjc ,he sends it forth under the whole sky1 and his lightning to the ends of the earth4 #jcg3jjd ,after it a voice roars4 ,he thunders with the voice of his majesty4 ,he doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard4 #jcg3jje ,god thunders marvelously with his voice4 ,he does great things1 which we can't comprehend4 #jcg3jjf ,for he says to the snow1 ',fall on the earth2' likewise to the shower of rain1 and to the showers of his mighty rain4 #jcg3jjg ,he seals up the hand of every man1 that all men whom he has made may know it4 #jcg3jjh ,then the animals take cover1 and remain in their dens4 #jcg3jji ,out of its chamber comes the storm1 and cold out of the north4 #jcg3jaj ,by the breath of ,god1 ice is given1 and the breadth of the waters is frozen4 #jcg3jaa ,yes1 he loads the thick cloud with moisture4 ,he spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning4 #jcg3jab ,it is turned round about by his guidance1 that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world1 #jcg3jac ,whether it is for correction1 or for his land1 or for loving kindness1 that he causes it to come4 #jcg3jad ,listen to this1 ,job4 ,stand still1 and consider the wondrous works of ,god4 #jcg3jae ,do you know how ,god controls them1 and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine8 #jcg3jaf ,do you know the workings of the clouds1 the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge8 #jcg3jag ,you whose clothing is warm1 when the earth is still by reason of the south wind8 #jcg3jah ,can you1 with him1 spread out the sky1 which is strong as a cast metal mirror8 #jcg3jai ,teach us what we shall tell him1 for we can't make our case by reason of darkness4 #jcg3jbj ,shall it be told him that ,i would speak8 ,or should a man wish that he were swallowed up8 #jcg3jba ,now men don't see the light which is bright in the skies1 but the wind passes1 and clears them4 #jcg3jbb ,out of the north comes golden splendor4 ,with ,god is awesome majesty4 #jcg3jbc ,we can't reach the ,almighty4 ,he is exalted in power4 ,in justice and great righteousness1 he will not oppress4 #jcg3jbd ,therefore men revere him4 ,he doesn't regard any who are wise of heart4 #jch3jja ,then ,yahweh answered ,job out of the whirlwind1 #jch3jjb ,who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge8 #jch3jjc ,brace yourself like a man1 for ,i will question you1 then you answer me6 #jch3jjd ,where were you when ,i laid the foundations of the earth8 ,declare1 if you have understanding4 #jch3jje ,who determined the measures of it1 if you know8 ,or who stretched the line on it8 #jch3jjf ,whereupon were the foundations of it fastened8 ,or who laid its cornerstone1 #jch3jjg when the morning stars sang together1 and all the sons of ,god shouted for joy8 #jch3jjh ,or who shut up the sea with doors1 when it broke forth from the womb1 #jch3jji when ,i made clouds its garment1 and wrapped it in thick darkness1 #jch3jaj marked out for it my bound1 set bars and doors1 #jch3jaa and said1 ',here you may come1 but no further4 ,here shall your proud waves be stayed8' #jch3jab ,have you commanded the morning in your days1 and caused the dawn to know its place2 #jch3jac that it might take hold of the ends of the earth1 and shake the wicked out of it8 #jch3jad ,it is changed as clay under the seal1 and stands forth as a garment4 #jch3jae ,from the wicked1 their light is withheld4 ,the high arm is broken4 #jch3jaf ,have you entered into the springs of the sea8 ,or have you walked in the recesses of the deep8 #jch3jag ,have the gates of death been revealed to you8 ,or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death8 #jch3jah ,have you comprehended the earth in its breadth8 ,declare1 if you know it all4 #jch3jai ,what is the way to the dwelling of light8 ,as for darkness1 where is its place1 #jch3jbj that you should take it to its bound1 that you should discern the paths to its house8 #jch3jba ,surely you know1 for you were born then1 and the number of your days is great6 #jch3jbb ,have you entered the treasuries of the snow1 or have you seen the treasures of the hail1 #jch3jbc which ,i have reserved against the time of trouble1 against the day of battle and war8 #jch3jbd ,by what way is the lightning distributed1 or the east wind scattered on the earth8 #jch3jbe ,who has cut a channel for the flood water1 or the path for the thunderstorm2 #jch3jbf ,to cause it to rain on a land where no man is2 on the wilderness1 in which there is no man2 #jch3jbg to satisfy the waste and desolate ground1 to cause the tender grass to spring forth8 #jch3jbh ,does the rain have a father8 ,or who fathers the drops of dew8 #jch3jbi ,out of whose womb came the ice8 ,the gray frost of the sky1 who has given birth to it8 #jch3jcj ,the waters become hard like stone1 when the surface of the deep is frozen4 #jch3jca ,can you bind the cluster of the ,pleiades1 or loosen the cords of ,orion8 #jch3jcb ,can you lead forth the constellations in their season8 ,or can you guide the ,bear with her cubs8 #jch3jcc ,do you know the laws of the heavens8 ,can you establish the dominion of it over the earth8 #jch3jcd ,can you lift up your voice to the clouds1 ,that abundance of waters may cover you8 #jch3jce ,can you send forth lightnings1 that they may go8 ,do they report to you1 ',here we are8' #jch3jcf ,who has put wisdom in the inward parts8 ,or who has given understanding to the mind8 #jch3jcg ,who can number the clouds by wisdom8 ,or who can pour out the bottles of the sky1 #jch3jch when the dust runs into a mass1 and the clods of earth stick together8 #jch3jci ,can you hunt the prey for the lioness1 or satisfy the appetite of the young lions1 #jch3jdj when they crouch in their dens1 and lie in wait in the thicket8 #jch3jda ,who provides for the raven his prey1 when his young ones cry to ,god1 and wander for lack of food8 #jci3jja ,do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth8 ,do you watch when the doe bears fawns8 #jci3jjb ,can you number the months that they fulfill8 ,or do you know the time when they give birth8 #jci3jjc ,they bow themselves1 they bring forth their young1 they end their labor pains4 #jci3jjd ,their young ones become strong4 ,they grow up in the open field4 ,they go forth1 and don't return again4 #jci3jje ,who has set the wild donkey free8 ,or who has loosened the bonds of the swift donkey1 #jci3jjf ,whose home ,i have made the wilderness1 and the salt land his dwelling place8 #jci3jjg ,he scorns the tumult of the city1 neither does he hear the shouting of the driver4 #jci3jjh ,the range of the mountains is his pasture1 ,he searches after every green thing4 #jci3jji ,will the wild ox be content to serve you8 ,or will he stay by your feeding trough8 #jci3jaj ,can you hold the wild ox in the furrow with his harness8 ,or will he till the valleys after you8 #jci3jaa ,will you trust him1 because his strength is great8 ,or will you leave to him your labor8 #jci3jab ,will you confide in him1 that he will bring home your seed1 and gather the grain of your threshing floor8 #jci3jac ,the wings of the ostrich wave proudly2 but are they the feathers and plumage of love8 #jci3jad ,for she leaves her eggs on the earth1 warms them in the dust1 #jci3jae and forgets that the foot may crush them1 or that the wild animal may trample them4 #jci3jaf ,she deals harshly with her young ones1 as if they were not hers4 ,though her labor is in vain1 she is without fear1 #jci3jag because ,god has deprived her of wisdom1 neither has he imparted to her understanding4 #jci3jah ,when she lifts up herself on high1 she scorns the horse and his rider4 #jci3jai ,have you given the horse might8 ,have you clothed his neck with a quivering mane8 #jci3jbj ,have you made him to leap as a locust8 ,the glory of his snorting is awesome4 #jci3jba ,he paws in the valley1 and rejoices in his strength4 ,he goes out to meet the armed men4 #jci3jbb ,he mocks at fear1 and is not dismayed1 neither does he turn back from the sword4 #jci3jbc ,the quiver rattles against him1 the flashing spear and the javelin4 #jci3jbd ,he eats up the ground with fierceness and rage1 neither does he stand still at the sound of the trumpet4 #jci3jbe ,as often as the trumpet sounds he snorts1 ',aha6' ,he smells the battle afar off1 the thunder of the captains1 and the shouting4 #jci3jbf ,is it by your wisdom that the hawk soars1 and stretches her wings toward the south8 #jci3jbg ,is it at your command that the eagle mounts up1 and makes his nest on high8 #jci3jbh ,on the cliff he dwells1 and makes his home1 on the point of the cliff1 and the stronghold4 #jci3jbi ,from there he spies out the prey4 ,his eyes see it afar off4 #jci3jcj ,his young ones also suck up blood4 ,where the slain are1 there he is4 #jdj3jja ,moreover ,yahweh answered ,job1 #jdj3jjb ,shall he who argues contend with the ,almighty8 ,he who argues with ,god1 let him answer it4 #jdj3jjc ,then ,job answered ,yahweh1 #jdj3jjd ,behold1 ,i am of small account4 ,what shall ,i answer you8 ,i lay my hand on my mouth4 #jdj3jje ,i have spoken once1 and ,i will not answer2 ,yes1 twice1 but ,i will proceed no further4 #jdj3jjf ,then ,yahweh answered ,job out of the whirlwind1 #jdj3jjg ,now brace yourself like a man4 ,i will question you1 and you will answer me4 #jdj3jjh ,will you even annul my judgment8 ,will you condemn me1 that you may be justified8 #jdj3jji ,or do you have an arm like ,god8 ,can you thunder with a voice like him8 #jdj3jaj ,now deck yourself with excellency and dignity4 ,array yourself with honor and majesty4 #jdj3jaa ,pour out the fury of your anger4 ,look at everyone who is proud1 and bring him low4 #jdj3jab ,look at everyone who is proud1 and humble him4 ,crush the wicked in their place4 #jdj3jac ,hide them in the dust together4 ,bind their faces in the hidden place4 #jdj3jad ,then ,i will also admit to you that your own right hand can save you4 #jdj3jae ,see now1 behemoth1 which ,i made as well as you4 ,he eats grass as an ox4 #jdj3jaf ,look now1 his strength is in his thighs4 ,his force is in the muscles of his belly4 #jdj3jag ,he moves his tail like a cedar4 ,the sinews of his thighs are knit together4 #jdj3jah ,his bones are like tubes of brass4 ,his limbs are like bars of iron4 #jdj3jai ,he is the chief of the ways of ,god4 ,he who made him gives him his sword4 #jdj3jbj ,surely the mountains produce food for him1 where all the animals of the field play4 #jdj3jba ,he lies under the lotus trees1 in the covert of the reed1 and the marsh4 #jdj3jbb ,the lotuses cover him with their shade4 ,the willows of the brook surround him4 #jdj3jbc ,behold1 if a river overflows1 he doesn't tremble4 ,he is confident1 though the ,jordan swells even to his mouth4 #jdj3jbd ,shall any take him when he is on the watch1 or pierce through his nose with a snare8 #jda3jja ,can you draw out ,leviathan,leviathan is a name for a crocodile or similar creature4 with a fishhook1 or press down his tongue with a cord8 #jda3jjb ,can you put a rope into his nose1 or pierce his jaw through with a hook8 #jda3jjc ,will he make many petitions to you1 or will he speak soft words to you8 #jda3jjd ,will he make a covenant with you1 that you should take him for a servant forever8 #jda3jje ,will you play with him as with a bird8 ,or will you bind him for your girls8 #jda3jjf ,will traders barter for him8 ,will they part him among the merchants8 #jda3jjg ,can you fill his skin with barbed irons1 or his head with fish spears8 #jda3jjh ,lay your hand on him4 ,remember the battle1 and do so no more4 #jda3jji ,behold1 the hope of him is in vain4 ,won't one be cast down even at the sight of him8 #jda3jaj ,none is so fierce that he dare stir him up4 ,who then is he who can stand before me8 #jda3jaa ,who has first given to me1 that ,i should repay him8 ,everything under the heavens is mine4 #jda3jab ,i will not keep silence concerning his limbs1 nor his mighty strength1 nor his goodly frame4 #jda3jac ,who can strip off his outer garment8 ,who shall come within his jaws8 #jda3jad ,who can open the doors of his face8 ,around his teeth is terror4 #jda3jae ,strong scales are his pride1 shut up together with a close seal4 #jda3jaf ,one is so near to another1 that no air can come between them4 #jda3jag ,they are joined one to another4 ,they stick together1 so that they can't be pulled apart4 #jda3jah ,his sneezing flashes out light4 ,his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning4 #jda3jai ,out of his mouth go burning torches4 ,sparks of fire leap forth4 #jda3jbj ,out of his nostrils a smoke goes1 as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds4 #jda3jba ,his breath kindles coals4 ,a flame goes forth from his mouth4 #jda3jbb ,there is strength in his neck4 ,terror dances before him4 #jda3jbc ,the flakes of his flesh are joined together4 ,they are firm on him4 ,they can't be moved4 #jda3jbd ,his heart is as firm as a stone1 yes1 firm as the lower millstone4 #jda3jbe ,when he raises himself up1 the mighty are afraid4 ,they retreat before his thrashing4 #jda3jbf ,if one attacks him with the sword1 it can't prevail2 nor the spear1 the dart1 nor the pointed shaft4 #jda3jbg ,he counts iron as straw2 and brass as rotten wood4 #jda3jbh ,the arrow can't make him flee4 ,sling stones are like chaff to him4 #jda3jbi ,clubs are counted as stubble4 ,he laughs at the rushing of the javelin4 #jda3jcj ,his undersides are like sharp potsherds1 leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge4 #jda3jca ,he makes the deep to boil like a pot4 ,he makes the sea like a pot of ointment4 #jda3jcb ,he makes a path shine after him4 ,one would think the deep had white hair4 #jda3jcc ,on earth there is not his equal1 that is made without fear4 #jda3jcd ,he sees everything that is high4 ,he is king over all the sons of pride4 #jdb3jja ,then ,job answered ,yahweh1 #jdb3jjb ,i know that you can do all things1 and that no purpose of yours can be restrained4 #jdb3jjc ,you asked1 ',who is this who hides counsel without knowledge8' therefore ,i have uttered that which ,i did not understand1 things too wonderful for me1 which ,i didn't know4 #jdb3jjd ,you said1 ',listen1 now1 and ,i will speak2 ,i will question you1 and you will answer me4' #jdb3jje ,i had heard of you by the hearing of the ear1 but now my eye sees you4 #jdb3jjf ,therefore ,i abhor myself1 and repent in dust and ashes4 #jdb3jjg ,it was so1 that after ,yahweh had spoken these words to ,job1 ,yahweh said to ,eliphaz the ,temanite1 ,my wrath is kindled against you1 and against your two friends2 for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right1 as my servant ,job has4 #jdb3jjh ,now therefore1 take to yourselves seven bulls and seven rams1 and go to my servant ,job1 and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering2 and my servant ,job shall pray for you1 for ,i will accept him1 that ,i not deal with you according to your folly4 ,for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right1 as my servant ,job has4 #jdb3jji ,so ,eliphaz the ,temanite and ,bildad the ,shuhite and ,zophar the ,naamathite went1 and did what ,yahweh commanded them1 and ,yahweh accepted ,job4 #jdb3jaj ,yahweh turned the captivity of ,job1 when he prayed for his friends4 ,yahweh gave ,job twice as much as he had before4 #jdb3jaa ,then came there to him all his brothers1 and all his sisters1 and all those who had been of his acquaintance before1 and ate bread with him in his house4 ,they comforted him1 and consoled him concerning all the evil that ,yahweh had brought on him4 ,everyone also gave him a piece of money1literally1 kesitah1 a unit of money1 probably silver and everyone a ring of gold4 #jdb3jab ,so ,yahweh blessed the latter end of ,job more than his beginning4 ,he had fourteen thousand sheep1 six thousand camels1 one thousand yoke of oxen1 and a thousand female donkeys4 #jdb3jac ,he had also seven sons and three daughters4 #jdb3jad ,he called the name of the first1 ,jemimah2 and the name of the second1 ,keziah2 and the name of the third1 ,keren ,happuch4 #jdb3jae ,in all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of ,job4 ,their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers4 #jdb3jaf ,after this ,job lived one hundred forty years1 and saw his sons1 and his sons' sons1 to four generations4 #jdb3jag ,so ,job died1 being old and full of days4
