1 There was a man 0376 in the land 0776 of Uz 05780, whose name 08034 was Job 0347; and that man 0376 was perfect 08535 and upright 03477, and one that feared 03373 God 0430, and turned away from 05493 evil 07451.
2 And there were born 03205 to him seven 07651 sons 01121 and three 07969 daughters 01323.
3 His substance 04735 also was seven 07651 thousand 0505 sheep 06629, and three 07969 thousand 0505 camels 01581, and five 02568 hundred 03967 yoke 06776 of oxen 01241, and five 02568 hundred 03967 female donkeys 0860, and a very 03966 great 07227 household 05657; so that this man 0376 was the greatest 01419 of all the men 01121 of the east 06924. substance: or, cattlehousehold: or, husbandrymen: Heb. sons
4 And his sons 01121 went 01980 and feasted 04960, 6213 in their houses 01004, every one 0376 his day 03117; and sent 07971 and called 07121 for their three 07969 sisters 0269 to eat 0398 and to drink 08354 with them.
5 And it was so, when the days 03117 of their feasting 04960 were ended 05362, that Job 0347 sent 07971 and sanctified 06942 them, and rose early 07925 in the morning 01242, and offered 05927 burnt offerings 05930 according to the number 04557 of them all: for Job 0347 said 0559, It may be 0194 that my sons 01121 have sinned 02398, and cursed 01288 God 0430 in their hearts 03824. Thus did 06213 Job 0347 continually 03117. continually: Heb. all the days
6 Now there was a day 03117 when the sons 01121 of God 0430 came 0935 to present 03320 themselves before the LORD 03068, and Satan 07854 came 0935 also among 08432 them. Satan: Heb. the adversaryamong: Heb. in the midst of
7 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Satan 07854, From where 0370 comest 0935 thou? Then Satan 07854 answered 06030 the LORD 03068, and said 0559, From going to and fro 07751 on the earth 0776, and from walking up and down 01980 upon it.
8 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Satan 07854, Hast thou considered 07760, 3820 my servant 05650 Job 0347, that there is none like him on the earth 0776, a perfect 08535 and an upright 03477 man 0376, one that feareth 03373 God 0430, and turneth away from 05493 evil 07451? considered: Heb. set thy heart on
9 Then Satan 07854 answered 06030 the LORD 03068, and said 0559, Doth Job 0347 fear 03372 God 0430 for nothing 02600?
10 Hast not thou made an hedge 07753 about him, and about 01157 his house 01004, and about all that he hath on every side 05439? thou hast blessed 01288 the work 04639 of his hands 03027, and his substance 04735 is increased 06555 in the land 0776. substance: or, cattle
11 But 0199 put forth 07971 thy hand 03027 now, and touch 05060 all that he hath, and he will curse 01288, 3808 thee to thy face 06440. and he…: Heb. if he curse thee not to thy face
12 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Satan 07854, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power 03027; only upon himself put not forth 07971 thy hand 03027. So Satan 07854 went forth 03318 from the presence 06440 of the LORD 03068. power: Heb. hand
13 And there was a day 03117 when his sons 01121 and his daughters 01323 were eating 0398 and drinking 08354 wine 03196 in their eldest 01060 brother’s 0251 house 01004:
14 And there came 0935 a messenger 04397 to Job 0347, and said 0559, The oxen 01241 were plowing 02790, and the donkeys 0860 feeding 07462 beside 03027 them:
15 And the Sabeans 07614 fell 05307 upon them, and took them away 03947; yea, they have slain 05221 the servants 05288 with the edge 06310 of the sword 02719; and I only have escaped 04422 alone to tell 05046 thee.
16 While he was yet speaking 01696, there came 0935 also another, and said 0559, The fire 0784 of God 0430 hath fallen 05307 from heaven 08064, and hath burned up 01197 the sheep 06629, and the servants 05288, and consumed 0398 them; and I only have escaped 04422 alone to tell 05046 thee. The fire…: or, A great fire
17 While he was yet speaking 01696, there came 0935 also another, and said 0559, The Chaldeans 03778 made 07760 three 07969 bands 07218, and fell 06584 upon the camels 01581, and have carried them away 03947, yea, and slain 05221 the servants 05288 with the edge 06310 of the sword 02719; and I only have escaped 04422 alone to tell 05046 thee. fell: Heb. rushed
18 While he was yet speaking 01696, there came 0935 also another, and said 0559, Thy sons 01121 and thy daughters 01323 were eating 0398 and drinking 08354 wine 03196 in their eldest 01060 brother’s 0251 house 01004:
19 And, behold, there came 0935 a great 01419 wind 07307 from 05676 the wilderness 04057, and smote 05060 the four 0702 corners 06438 of the house 01004, and it fell 05307 upon the young men 05288, and they are dead 04191; and I only have escaped 04422 alone to tell 05046 thee. from…: Heb. from aside, etc
20 Then Job 0347 arose 06965, and tore 07167 his mantle 04598, and shaved 01494 his head 07218, and fell 05307 upon the ground 0776, and worshipped 07812, mantle: or, robe
21 And said 0559, Naked 06174 came I 03318 from my mother’s 0517 womb 0990, and naked 06174 shall I return 07725 there: the LORD 03068 gave 05414, and the LORD 03068 hath taken away 03947; blessed 01288 be the name 08034 of the LORD 03068.
22 In all this Job 0347 sinned 02398 not, nor charged 05414 God 0430 foolishly 08604. charged…: or, attributed folly to God
1 Again there was a day 03117 when the sons 01121 of God 0430 came 0935 to present 03320 themselves before the LORD 03068, and Satan 07854 came 0935 also among 08432 them to present 03320 himself before the LORD 03068.
2 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Satan 07854, From where 0335 comest 0935 thou? And Satan 07854 answered 06030 the LORD 03068, and said 0559, From going to and fro 07751 on the earth 0776, and from walking up and down 01980 upon it.
3 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Satan 07854, Hast thou 07760 considered 03820 my servant 05650 Job 0347, that there is none like him on the earth 0776, a perfect 08535 and an upright 03477 man 0376, one that feareth 03373 God 0430, and turneth away from 05493 evil 07451? and still he holdeth fast 02388 his integrity 08538, although thou didst move 05496 me against him, to destroy 01104 him without cause 02600. to destroy…: Heb. to swallow him up
4 And Satan 07854 answered 06030 the LORD 03068, and said 0559, Skin 05785 for skin 05785, even, all that a man 0376 hath will he give 05414 for his life 05315.
5 But 0199 put forth 07971 thy hand 03027 now, and touch 05060 his bone 06106 and his flesh 01320, and he will curse 01288 thee to thy face 06440.
6 And the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Satan 07854, Behold, he is in thy hand 03027; but save 08104 his life 05315. but: or, only
7 So Satan 07854 went forth 03318 from the presence 06440 of the LORD 03068, and smote 05221 Job 0347 with severe 07451 boils 07822 from the sole 03709 of his foot 07272 to his crown 06936.
8 And he took 03947 a potsherd 02789 to scrape 01623 himself with; and he sat down 03427 among 08432 the ashes 0665.
9 Then said 0559 his wife 0802 to him, Dost thou still retain 02388 thy integrity 08538? curse 01288 God 0430, and die 04191.
10 But he said 0559 to her, Thou speakest 01696 as one 0259 of the foolish women 05036 speaketh 01696. What 01571? shall we receive 06901 good 02896 at the hand of God 0430, and shall we not receive 06901 evil 07451? In all this did not Job 0347 sin 02398 with his lips 08193.
11 Now when Job’s 0347 three 07969 friends 07453 heard 08085 of all this evil 07451 that had come 0935 upon him, they came 0935 every one 0376 from his own place 04725; Eliphaz 0464 the Temanite 08489, and Bildad 01085 the Shuhite 07747, and Zophar 06691 the Naamathite 05284: for they had made an appointment 03259 together 03162 to come 0935 to mourn 05110 with him and to comfort 05162 him.
12 And when they lifted up 05375 their eyes 05869 afar off 07350, and knew 05234 him not, they raised 05375 their voice 06963, and wept 01058; and they tore 07167 every one 0376 his mantle 04598, and sprinkled 02236 dust 06083 upon their heads 07218 toward heaven 08064.
13 So they sat down 03427 with him upon the ground 0776 seven 07651 days 03117 and seven 07651 nights 03915, and none spoke 01696 a word 01697 to him: for they saw 07200 that his grief 03511 was very 03966 great 01431.
1 After 0310 this Job 0347 opened 06605 his mouth 06310, and cursed 07043 his day 03117.
2 And Job 0347 spoke 06030, and said 0559, spake: Heb. answered
3 Let the day 03117 perish 06 when I was born 03205, and the night 03915 in which it was said 0559, There is a man child 01397 conceived 02029.
4 Let that day 03117 be darkness 02822; let not God 0433 regard 01875 it from above 04605, neither let the light 05105 shine 03313 upon it.
5 Let darkness 02822 and the shadow of death 06757 stain 01350 it; let a cloud 06053 dwell 07931 upon it; let the blackness 03650 of the day 03117 terrify 01204 it. stain: or, challengelet the…: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day
6 As for that night 03915, let darkness 0652 seize 03947 upon it; let it not be joined 02302 to the days 03117 of the year 08141, let it not come 0935 into the number 04557 of the months 03391. let it not be…: or, let it not rejoice among the days
7 Lo, let that night 03915 be solitary 01565, let no joyful voice 07445 come 0935 in it.
8 Let them curse 05344 it that curse 0779 the day 03117, who are ready 06264 to raise up 05782 their mourning 03882. their…: or, leviathan
9 Let the stars 03556 of its twilight 05399 be dark 02821; let it look 06960 for light 0216, but have none; neither let it see 07200 the dawning 06079 of the day 07837: the dawning…: Heb. the eyelids of the morning
10 Because it shut not up 05462 the doors 01817 of my mother’s womb 0990, nor hid 05641 sorrow 05999 from my eyes 05869.
11 Why died 04191 I not from the womb 07358? why did I not give up the ghost 01478 when I came out 03318 of the womb 0990?
12 Why did the knees 01290 receive 06923 me? or why the breasts 07699 that I should be nursed 03243?
13 For now should I have lain still 07901 and been quiet 08252, I should have slept 03462: then had I been at rest 05117,
14 With kings 04428 and counsellors 03289 of the earth 0776, who built 01129 desolate places 02723 for themselves;
15 Or with princes 08269 that had gold 02091, who filled 04390 their houses 01004 with silver 03701:
16 Or as an hidden 02934 untimely birth 05309 I had not been; as infants 05768 which never saw 07200 light 0216.
17 There the wicked 07563 cease 02308 from troubling 07267; and there the weary 03019, 3581 are at rest 05117. weary: Heb. wearied in strength
18 There the prisoners 0615 rest 07599 together 03162; they hear 08085 not the voice 06963 of the oppressor 05065.
19 The small 06996 and great 01419 are there; and the servant 05650 is free 02670 from his master 0113.
20 Why is light 0216 given 05414 to him that is in misery 06001, and life 02416 to the bitter 04751 in soul 05315;
21 Who long 02442 for death 04194, but it cometh not; and dig 02658 for it more than for hid treasures 04301; long: Heb. wait
22 Who rejoice 08056 exceedingly 01524, and are glad 07797, when they can find 04672 the grave 06913?
23 Why is light given to a man 01397 whose way 01870 is hid 05641, and whom God 0433 hath hedged in 05526?
24 For my sighing 0585 cometh 0935 before 06440 I eat 03899, and my roarings 07581 are poured out 05413 like the waters 04325. I eat: Heb. my meat
25 For the thing which I greatly 06343 feared 06342 hath come 0857 upon me, and that which I feared 03025 hath come 0935 to me. the thing…: Heb. I feared a fear, and it came upon me
26 I was not in safety 07951, neither had I rest 08252, neither was I quiet 05117; yet trouble 07267 came 0935.
1 Then Eliphaz 0464 the Temanite 08489 answered 06030 and said 0559,
2 If we try 05254 to speak 01697 with thee, wilt thou be grieved 03811? but who can 03201 restrain 06113 from speaking 04405? to…: Heb. a wordwithhold…: Heb. refrain from words?
3 Behold, thou hast instructed 03256 many 07227, and thou hast strengthened 02388 the weak 07504 hands 03027.
4 Thy words 04405 have upheld 06965 him that was falling 03782, and thou hast strengthened 0553 the feeble 03766 knees 01290.
5 But now it hath come 0935 upon thee, and thou faintest 03811; it toucheth 05060 thee, and thou art troubled 0926.
6 Is not this thy fear 03374, thy confidence 03690, thy hope 08615, and the uprightness 08537 of thy ways 01870?
7 Remember 02142, I pray thee, who ever perished 06, being innocent 05355? or where 0375 were the righteous 03477 cut off 03582?
8 Even as I have seen 07200, they that plow 02790 iniquity 0205, and sow 02232 wickedness 05999, reap 07114 the same.
9 By the blast 05397 of God 0433 they perish 06, and by the breath 07307 of his nostrils 0639 are they consumed 03615. by the breath…: that is, by his anger
10 The roaring 07581 of the lion 0738, and the voice 06963 of the fierce lion 07826, and the teeth 08127 of the young lions 03715, are broken 05421.
11 The old lion 03918 perisheth 06 for lack 01097 of prey 02964, and the stout lion’s 03833 whelps 01121 are scattered abroad 06504.
12 Now a thing 01697 was secretly brought 01589 to me, and my ear 0241 received 03947 a whisper 08102 of it. secretly: Heb. by stealth
13 In thoughts 05587 from the visions 02384 of the night 03915, when deep sleep 08639 falleth 05307 on men 0582,

15 Then a spirit 07307 passed 02498 before my face 06440; the hair 08185 of my flesh 01320 stood up 05568:
16 It stood still 05975, but I could not discern 05234 its form 04758: an image 08544 was before my eyes 05869, there was silence 01827, and I heard 08085 a voice 06963, saying, there…: or, I heard a still voice
17 Shall mortal man 0582 be more just 06663 than God 0433? shall a man 01397 be more pure 02891 than his maker 06213?
18 Behold, he put no trust 0539 in his servants 05650; and his angels 04397 he charged 07760 with folly 08417: and his…: or, nor in his angels, in whom he put light
19 How much less 0637 in them that dwell 07931 in houses 01004 of clay 02563, whose foundation 03247 is in the dust 06083, who are crushed 01792 before 06440 the moth 06211?
20 They are destroyed 03807 from morning 01242 to evening 06153: they perish 06 for ever 05331 without any regarding 07760 it. destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces
21 Doth not their excellency 03499 which is in them depart 05265? they die 04191, even without wisdom 02451.
1 Call 07121 now, if there is 03426 any that will answer 06030 thee; and to which of the holy ones 06918 wilt thou turn 06437? turn: or, look?
2 For wrath 03708 killeth 02026 the foolish man 0191, and envy 07068 slayeth 04191 the silly one 06601. envy: or, indignation
3 I have seen 07200 the foolish 0191 taking root 08327: but suddenly 06597 I cursed 05344 his habitation 05116.
4 His children 01121 are far 07368 from safety 03468, and they are crushed 01792 in the gate 08179, neither is there any to deliver 05337 them.
5 Whose harvest 07105 the hungry 07457 eateth up 0398, and taketh 03947 it even out 0413 of the thorns 06791, and the robber 06782 swalloweth up 07602 their substance 02428.
6 Although affliction 0205 cometh not forth 03318 from the dust 06083, neither doth trouble 05999 spring out 06779 of the ground 0127; affliction: or, iniquity
7 Yet man 0120 is born 03205 to trouble 05999, as the sparks 01121, 7565 fly 05774 upward 01361. trouble: or, laboursparks…: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly
8 I would seek 0199, 1875 to God 0410, and to God 0430 would I commit 07760 my cause 01700:
9 Who doeth 06213 great things 01419 and unsearchable 0369, 2714; marvellous things 06381 without number 04557: unsearchable: Heb. there is no searchwithout…: Heb. till there be no number
10 Who giveth 05414 rain 04306 upon 06440 the earth 0776, and sendeth 07971 waters 04325 upon 06440 the fields 02351: fields: Heb. outplaces
11 To set 07760 on high 04791 those that are low 08217; that those who mourn 06937 may be exalted 07682 to safety 03468.
12 He disappointeth 06565 the devices 04284 of the crafty 06175, so that their hands 03027 cannot perform 06213 their enterprise 08454. their enterprise: or, any thing
13 He taketh 03920 the wise 02450 in their own craftiness 06193: and the counsel 06098 of the cunning 06617 is carried headlong 04116.
14 They meet 06298 with darkness 02822 in the daytime 03119, and grope 04959 at noon 06672 as in the night 03915. meet…: or, run into
15 But he saveth 03467 the poor 034 from the sword 02719, from their mouth 06310, and from the hand 03027 of the mighty 02389.
16 So the poor 01800 hath hope 08615, and iniquity 05766 stoppeth 07092 her mouth 06310.
17 Behold, happy 0835 is the man 0582 whom God 0433 correcteth 03198: therefore despise 03988 not thou the chastening 04148 of the Almighty 07706:
18 For he maketh sore 03510, and bindeth up 02280: he woundeth 04272, and his hands 03027 make whole 07495.
19 He shall deliver 05337 thee in six 08337 troubles 06869: yea, in seven 07651 there shall no evil 07451 touch 05060 thee.
20 In famine 07458 he shall redeem 06299 thee from death 04194: and in war 04421 from the power 03027 of the sword 02719. power: Heb. hands

22 At destruction 07701 and famine 03720 thou shalt laugh 07832: neither shalt thou be afraid 03372 of the beasts 02416 of the earth 0776.
23 For thou shalt be in league 01285 with the stones 068 of the field 07704: and the beasts 02416 of the field 07704 shall be at peace 07999 with thee.
24 And thou shalt know 03045 that thy tabernacle 0168 shall be in peace 07965; and thou shalt visit 06485 thy habitation 05116, and shalt not sin 02398. thy tabernacle…: or, peace is thy tabernaclesin: or, err
25 Thou shalt know 03045 also that thy seed 02233 shall be great 07227, and thy offspring 06631 as the grass 06212 of the earth 0776. great: or, much
26 Thou shalt come 0935 to thy grave 06913 in a full age 03624, as a shock of grain 01430 cometh in 05927 in its season 06256. cometh in: Heb. ascendeth
27 Lo this, we have searched 02713 it, so it is; hear 08085 it, and know 03045 thou it for thy good. for…: Heb. for thyself
1 But Job 0347 answered 06030 and said 0559,
2 O that 03863 my grief 03708 were thoroughly 08254 weighed 08254, and my calamity 01942, 1962 laid 05375 in the balances 03976 together 03162! laid: Heb. lifted up
3 For now it would be heavier 03513 than the sand 02344 of the sea 03220: therefore my words 01697 are swallowed up 03886. my words…: that is, I want words to express my grief
4 For the arrows 02671 of the Almighty 07706 are within 05978 me, the poison 02534 of which drinketh up 08354 my spirit 07307: the terrors 01161 of God 0433 set themselves in array 06186 against me.
5 Doth the wild donkey 06501 bray 05101 when he hath grass 01877? or loweth 01600 the ox 07794 over his fodder 01098? when he…: Heb. at grass?
6 Can that which is unsavoury 08602 be eaten 0398 without salt 04417? or is there 03426 any taste 02940 in the white 07388 of an egg 02495?
7 The things that my soul 05315 refused 03985 to touch 05060 are as my loathsome 01741 food 03899.
8 O that I might have 0935 my request 07596; and that God 0433 would grant 05414 me the thing that I long for 08615! the thing…: Heb. my expectation
9 Even that it would please 02974 God 0433 to destroy 01792 me; that he would let loose 05425 his hand 03027, and cut me off 01214!
10 Then should I yet have comfort 05165; yea, I would harden 05539 myself in sorrow 02427: let him not spare 02550; for I have not concealed 03582 the words 0561 of the Holy One 06918.
11 What is my strength 03581, that I should hope 03176? and what is my end 07093, that I should prolong 0748 my life 05315?
12 Is my strength 03581 the strength 03581 of stones 068? or is my flesh 01320 of brass 05153? of brass: Heb. brasen?
13 Is not my help 05833 in me? and is wisdom 08454 driven quite 05080 from me?
14 To him that is afflicted 04523 pity 02617 should be shown from his friend 07453; but he forsaketh 05800 the fear 03374 of the Almighty 07706. is afflicted: Heb. melteth
15 My brethren 0251 have dealt deceitfully 0898 as a brook 05158, and as the stream 0650 of brooks 05158 they pass away 05674;
16 Which are blackish 06937 by reason of the ice 07140, and in which the snow 07950 is hid 05956:
17 In the time when 06256 they become warm 02215, they vanish 06789: when it is hot 02527, they are consumed out 01846 of their place 04725. vanish: Heb. are cut offwhen…: Heb. in the heat thereofconsumed: Heb. extinguished
18 The paths 0734 of their way 01870 are turned aside 03943; they go 05927 to nothing 08414, and perish 06.
19 The troops 0734 of Tema 08485 looked 05027, the companies 01979 of Sheba 07614 waited 06960 for them.
20 They were confounded 0954 because they had hoped 0982; they came 0935 there, and were ashamed 02659.
21 For now ye are nothing; ye see 07200 my casting down 02866, and are afraid 03372. ye are…: or, ye are like to them: Heb. to itnothing: Heb. not
22 Did I say 0559, Bring 03051 to me? or, Give a reward 07809 for me of your substance 03581?
23 Or, Deliver 04422 me from the enemy’s 06862 hand 03027? or, Redeem 06299 me from the hand 03027 of the mighty 06184?
24 Teach 03384 me, and I will hold my tongue 02790: and cause me to understand 0995 how I have erred 07686.
25 How forcible 04834 are right 03476 words 0561! but what doth your arguing 03198 reprove 03198?
26 Do ye imagine 02803 to reprove 03198 words 04405, and the speeches 0561 of one that is desperate 02976, which are as wind 07307?
27 Yea, ye overwhelm 05307 the fatherless 03490, and ye dig 03738 a pit for your friend 07453. ye overwhelm: Heb. ye cause to fall upon
28 Now therefore be content 02974, look 06437 upon me; for it is evident 06440 to you if I lie 03576. evident…: Heb. before your face
29 Return 07725, I pray you, let it not be iniquity 05766; yea, return again 07725, my righteousness 06664 is in it. in it: that is, in this matter
30 Is there 03426 iniquity 05766 in my tongue 03956? cannot my taste 02441 discern 0995 perverse things 01942? my taste: Heb. my palate
1 Is there not an appointed time 06635 to man 0582 upon earth 0776? are not his days 03117 also like the days 03117 of an hireling 07916? an appointed…: or, a warfare
2 As a servant 05650 earnestly desireth 07602 the shadow 06738, and as an hireling 07916 looketh 06960 for the reward of his work 06467: earnestly…: Heb. gapeth after
3 So am I made to possess 05157 months 03391 of vanity 07723, and wearisome 05999 nights 03915 are appointed 04487 to me.
4 When I lie down 07901, I say 0559, When shall I arise 06965, and the night 06153 be gone 04059? and I am full 07646 of tossings to and fro 05076 to the dawning of the day 05399. the night…: Heb. the evening be measured?
5 My flesh 01320 is clothed 03847 with worms 07415 and clods 01487 of dust 06083; my skin 05785 is broken 07280, and become loathsome 03988.
6 My days 03117 are swifter 07043 than a weaver’s shuttle 0708, and are spent 03615 without 0657 hope 08615.
7 O remember 02142 that my life 02416 is a breath 07307: my eye 05869 shall no more 07725 see 07200 good 02896. shall…: Heb. shall not returnsee: to see, that is, to enjoy
8 The eye 05869 of him that hath seen 07210 me shall see 07789 me no more: thy eyes 05869 are upon me, and I am not. I am…: that is, I can live no longer
9 As the cloud 06051 is consumed 03615 and vanisheth away 03212: so he that goeth down 03381 to the grave 07585 shall come up 05927 no more.
10 He shall return 07725 no more to his house 01004, neither shall his place 04725 know 05234 him any more.
11 Therefore I will not restrain 02820 my mouth 06310; I will speak 01696 in the anguish 06862 of my spirit 07307; I will complain 07878 in the bitterness 04751 of my soul 05315.
12 Am I a sea 03220, or a whale 08577, that thou settest 07760 a watch 04929 over me?
13 When I say 0559, My bed 06210 shall comfort 05162 me, my couch 04904 shall ease 05375 my complaint 07879;
14 Then thou scarest 02865 me with dreams 02472, and terrifiest 01204 me through visions 02384:
15 So that my soul 05315 chooseth 0977 strangling 04267, and death 04194 rather than my life 06106. life: Heb. bones
16 I loathe 03988 it; I would not live 02421 always 05769: let me alone 02308; for my days 03117 are vanity 01892.
17 What is man 0582, that thou shouldest magnify 01431 him? and that thou shouldest set 07896 thy heart 03820 upon him?
18 And that thou shouldest visit 06485 him every morning 01242, and try 0974 him every moment 07281?
19 How long 04100 wilt thou not look away 08159 from me, nor let me alone 07503 till I swallow 01104 my spittle 07536?
20 I have sinned 02398; what shall I do 06466 to thee, O thou preserver 05341 of men 0120? why hast thou set 07760 me as a mark 04645 against thee, so that I am a burden 04853 to myself?
21 And why dost thou not pardon 05375 my transgression 06588, and take away 05674 my iniquity 05771? for now shall I sleep 07901 in the dust 06083; and thou shalt seek me in the morning 07836, but I shall not be.
1 Then answered 06030 Bildad 01085 the Shuhite 07747, and said 0559,
2 How 0575 long 05704 wilt thou speak 04448 these things? and how long shall the words 0561 of thy mouth 06310 be like a strong 03524 wind 07307?
3 Doth God 0410 pervert 05791 judgment 04941? or doth the Almighty 07706 pervert 05791 justice 06664?
4 If thy children 01121 have sinned 02398 against him, and he hath cast them away 07971 for 03027 their transgression 06588; for…: Heb. in the hand of their transgression
5 If thou wouldest seek 07836 to God 0410 early 07836, and make thy supplication 02603 to the Almighty 07706;
6 If thou wert pure 02134 and upright 03477; surely now he would awake 05782 for thee, and make the habitation 05116 of thy righteousness 06664 prosperous 07999.
7 Though thy beginning 07225 was small 04705, yet thy latter end 0319 should greatly 03966 increase 07685.
8 For enquire 07592, I pray thee, of the former 07223, 7223 age 01755, and prepare 03559 thyself to the search 02714 of their fathers 01:
9 (For we are but of yesterday 08543, and know 03045 nothing, because our days 03117 upon earth 0776 are a shadow 06738:) nothing: Heb. not
10 Shall they not teach 03384 thee, and tell 0559 thee, and utter 03318 words 04405 out of their heart 03820?
11 Can the rush 01573 grow 01342 without mire 01207? can 07685 the flag 0260 grow 07685 without 01097 water 04325?
12 While it is still green 03, and not cut down 06998, it withereth 03001 before 06440 any other herb 02682.
13 So are the paths 0734 of all that forget 07911 God 0410; and the hypocrite’s 02611 hope 08615 shall perish 06:
14 Whose confidence 03689 shall be cut off 06990, and whose trust 04009 shall be a spider’s 05908 web 01004. web: Heb. house
15 He shall lean 08172 upon his house 01004, but it shall not stand 05975: he shall hold 02388 it fast, but it shall not endure 06965.
16 He is green 07373 before 06440 the sun 08121, and his branch 03127 shooteth forth 03318 in his garden 01593.
17 His roots 08328 are wrapped about 05440 the heap 01530, and seeth 02372 the place 01004 of stones 068.
18 If he shall be destroyed 01104 from his place 04725, then it shall deny 03584 him, saying, I have not seen 07200 thee.
19 Behold, this is the joy 04885 of his way 01870, and out of the earth 06083 shall others 0312 grow 06779.
20 Behold, God 0410 will not cast away 03988 a perfect 08535 man, neither will he help 02388, 3027 the evildoers 07489: help…: Heb. take the ungodly by the hand
21 Till he shall fill 04390 thy mouth 06310 with laughing 07814, and thy lips 08193 with rejoicing 08643. rejoicing: Heb. shouting for joy
22 They that hate 08130 thee shall be clothed 03847 with shame 01322; and the dwelling 0168 place of the wicked 07563 shall come to nought 0369. shall come…: Heb. shall not be
1 Then Job 0347 answered 06030 and said 0559,
2 I know 03045 it to be so of a truth 0551: but how should man 0582 be just 06663 with God 0410? with God: or, before God?
3 If he will 02654 contend 07378 with him, he cannot answer 06030 him one 0259 time out of a thousand 0505.
4 He is wise 02450 in heart 03824, and mighty 0533 in strength 03581: who hath hardened 07185 himself against him, and hath prospered 07999?
5 Who removeth 06275 the mountains 02022, and they know 03045 not: who overturneth 02015 them in his anger 0639.
6 Who shaketh 07264 the earth 0776 out of its place 04725, and its pillars 05982 tremble 06426.
7 Who commandeth 0559 the sun 02775, and it riseth 02224 not; and sealeth up 02856 the stars 03556.
8 Who alone spreadeth out 05186 the heavens 08064, and treadeth 01869 upon the waves 01116 of the sea 03220. waves: Heb. heights
9 Who maketh 06213 Arcturus 05906, Orion 03685, and Pleiades 03598, and the chambers 02315 of the south 08486. Arcturus…: Heb. Ash, Cesil, and Cimah
10 Who doeth 06213 great things 01419 past 0369 finding out 02714; yea, and wonders 06381 without number 04557.
11 Lo, he goeth 05674 by me, and I see 07200 him not: he passeth on 02498 also, but I perceive 0995 him not.
12 Behold, he taketh away 02862, who can hinder 07725 him? who will say 0559 to him, What doest 06213 thou? hinder…: Heb. turn him away?
13 If God 0433 will not withdraw 07725 his anger 0639, the proud 07293 helpers 05826 do stoop 07817 under him. proud…: Heb. helpers of pride, or, strength
14 How much less shall I answer 06030 him, and choose out 0977 my words 01697 to reason with him?
15 Whom, though I were righteous 06663, yet would I not answer 06030, but I would make supplication 02603 to my judge 08199.
16 If I had called 07121, and he had answered 06030 me; yet I would not believe 0539 that he had hearkened 0238 to my voice 06963.
17 For he breaketh 07779 me with a tempest 08183, and multiplieth 07235 my wounds 06482 without cause 02600.
18 He will not allow 05414 me to take 07725 my breath 07307, but filleth 07646 me with bitterness 04472.
19 If I speak of strength 03581, lo, he is strong 0533: and if of judgment 04941, who shall set 03259 me a time to plead?
20 If I justify 06663 myself, my own mouth 06310 shall condemn 07561 me: if I say, I am perfect 08535, that also shall prove me perverse 06140.
21 Though I were perfect 08535, yet would I not know 03045 my soul 05315: I would despise 03988 my life 02416.
22 This is one 0259 thing, therefore I said 0559 it, He destroyeth 03615 the perfect 08535 and the wicked 07563.
23 If the scourge 07752 shall slay 04191 suddenly 06597, he will laugh 03932 at the trial 04531 of the innocent 05355.
24 The earth 0776 is given 05414 into the hand 03027 of the wicked 07563: he covereth 03680 the faces 06440 of its judges 08199; if not, where 0645, and who is he?
25 Now my days 03117 are swifter 07043 than a post 07323: they flee away 01272, they see 07200 no good 02896.
26 They are passed away 02498 as 05973 the swift 016 ships 0591: as the eagle 05404 that hasteth 02907 to the prey 0400. swift…: or, ships of Ebeh: Heb. ships of desire
27 If I say 0559, I will forget 07911 my complaint 07879, I will put off 05800 my heaviness 06440, and comfort 01082 myself:
28 I am afraid 03025 of all my sorrows 06094, I know 03045 that thou wilt not hold me innocent 05352.
29 If I am wicked 07561, why then do I labour 03021 in vain 01892?
30 If I wash 07364 myself with 07950 snow water 04325, 1119, and make my hands 03709 never 01252, 1253 so clean 02141;
31 Yet 0227 shalt thou plunge 02881 me in the ditch 07845, and my own clothes 08008 shall abhor 08581 me. abhor…: or, make me to be abhorred
32 For he is not a man 0376, as I am, that I should answer 06030 him, and we should come 0935 together 03162 in judgment 04941.
33 Neither is 03426 there any mediator 03198 between us, that might lay 07896 his hand 03027 upon us both 08147. any…: Heb. one that should arguedaysman: or, umpire
34 Let him take away 05493 his rod 07626 from me, and let not his fear 0367 terrify 01204 me:
35 Then would I speak 01696, and not fear 03372 him; but it is not so with me. it is…: Heb. I am not so with myself
1 My soul 05315 is weary 05354 of my life 02416; I will leave 05800 my complaint 07879 upon myself; I will speak 01696 in the bitterness 04751 of my soul 05315. weary…: or, cut off while I live
2 I will say 0559 to God 0433, Do not condemn 07561 me; show 03045 me why thou contendest 07378 with me.
3 Is it good 02895 to thee that thou shouldest oppress 06231, that thou shouldest despise 03988 the work 03018 of thy hands 03709, and shine 03313 upon the counsel 06098 of the wicked 07563? work: Heb. labour
4 Hast thou eyes 05869 of flesh 01320? or seest 07200 thou as man 0582 seeth 07200?
5 Are thy days 03117 as the days 03117 of man 0582? are thy years 08141 as man’s 01397 days 03117,
6 That thou enquirest 01245 after my iniquity 05771, and searchest 01875 after my sin 02403?
7 Thou knowest 01847 that I am not wicked 07561; and there is none that can deliver 05337 out of thy hand 03027. Thou…: Heb. It is upon thy knowledge
8 Thy hands 03027 have made 06087 me and fashioned 06213 me in all my parts 03162, 5439; yet thou dost destroy 01104 me. have…: Heb. took pains about me
9 Remember 02142, I beseech thee, that thou hast made 06213 me as the clay 02563; and wilt thou bring 07725 me into dust 06083 again 07725?
10 Hast thou not poured me out 05413 as milk 02461, and curdled 07087 me like cheese 01385?
11 Thou hast clothed 03847 me with skin 05785 and flesh 01320, and hast fenced 07753 me with bones 06106 and sinews 01517. fenced: Heb. hedged
12 Thou hast granted 06213 me life 02416 and favour 02617, and thy care 06486 hath preserved 08104 my spirit 07307.
13 And these things hast thou hid 06845 in thy heart 03824: I know 03045 that this is with thee.
14 If I sin 02398, then thou markest 08104 me, and thou wilt not acquit 05352 me from my iniquity 05771.
15 If I be wicked 07561, woe 0480 to me; and if I be righteous 06663, yet will I not lift up 05375 my head 07218. I am full 07649 of confusion 07036; therefore see 07202, 7200 thou my affliction 06040;
16 For it increaseth 01342. Thou huntest 06679 me as a fierce lion 07826: and again 07725 thou showest thyself marvellous 06381 upon me.
17 Thou renewest 02318 thy witnesses 05707 against me, and increasest 07235 thy indignation 03708 upon me 05978; changes 02487 and war 06635 are against me. witnesses: that is, plagues
18 Why then hast thou brought me forth 03318 from the womb 07358? O that I had given up the ghost 01478, and no eye 05869 had seen 07200 me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried 02986 from the womb 0990 to the grave 06913.
20 Are not my days 03117 few 04592? cease 02308 then, and let me alone 07896, that I may take comfort 01082 a little 04592,
21 Before I go 03212 to the place from which I shall not return 07725, even to the land 0776 of darkness 02822 and the shadow of death 06757;
22 A land 0776 of darkness 05890, as darkness 0652 itself; and of the shadow of death 06757, without any order 05468, and where the light 03313 is as darkness 0652.
1 Then answered 06030 Zophar 06691 the Naamathite 05284, and said 0559,
2 Should not the multitude 07230 of words 01697 be answered 06030? and should a man 0376 full of talk 08193 be justified 06663? full…: Heb. of lips
3 Should thy lies 0907 make 02790 men 04962 hold their peace 02790? and when thou mockest 03932, shall no man make thee ashamed 03637? lies: or, devices
4 For thou hast said 0559, My doctrine 03948 is pure 02134, and I am clean 01249 in thy eyes 05869.
5 But 0199 O that 05414 God 0433 would speak 01696, and open 06605 his lips 08193 against thee;
6 And that he would show 05046 thee the secrets 08587 of wisdom 02451, that they are double 03718 to that which is 08454! Know 03045 therefore that God 0433 exacteth 05382 of thee less than thy iniquity 05771 deserveth.
7 Canst thou by searching 02714 find out 04672 God 0433? canst thou find 04672 out the Almighty 07706 to perfection 08503?
8 It is as high 01363 as heaven 08064; what canst thou do 06466? deeper 06013 than hell 07585; what canst thou know 03045? as high…: Heb. the heights of heaven
9 The measure 04055 of it is longer 0752 than the earth 0776, and broader 07342 than the sea 03220.
10 If he shall cut off 02498, and shut up 05462, or gather together 06950, then who can hinder 07725 him? cut…: or, make a changehinder…: Heb. turn him away?
11 For he knoweth 03045 vain 07723 men 04962: he seeth 07200 wickedness 0205 also; will he not then consider 0995 it?
12 For vain 05014 man 0376 would be wise 03823, though man 0120 is born 03205 like a wild donkey’s 06501 colt 05895. vain: Heb. empty
13 If thou preparest 03559 thy heart 03820, and stretchest 06566 out thy hands 03709 toward him;
14 If iniquity 0205 is in thy hand 03027, put it far away 07368, and let not wickedness 05766 dwell 07931 in thy tents 0168.
15 For then shalt thou lift up 05375 thy face 06440 without spot 03971; yea, thou shalt be steadfast 03332, and shalt not fear 03372:
16 Because thou shalt forget 07911 thy misery 05999, and remember 02142 it as waters 04325 that pass away 05674:
17 And thy age 02465 shall be clearer 06965 than the noonday 06672; thou shalt shine forth 05774, thou shalt be as the morning 01242. be clearer…: Heb. arise above
18 And thou shalt be secure 0982, because there is 03426 hope 08615; yea, thou shalt dig 02658 about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest 07901 in safety 0983.
19 Also thou shalt lie down 07257, and none shall make thee afraid 02729; yea, many 07227 shall make suit 02470 to thee 06440. make suit…: Heb. intreat thy face
20 But the eyes 05869 of the wicked 07563 shall fail 03615, and they shall not escape 06, 4498, and their hope 08615 shall be as the giving up 04646 of the ghost 05315. they shall…: Heb. flight shall perish from themthe giving…: or, a puff of breath
1 And Job 0347 answered 06030 and said 0559,
2 No doubt 0551 but ye are the people 05971, and wisdom 02451 shall die 04191 with you.
3 But 01571 I have understanding 03824 as well as you; I am not inferior 05307 to you: yea, who knoweth not such things 03644 as these? understanding: Heb. an heartI am…: Heb. I fall not lower than youwho…: Heb. with whom are not such as these?
4 I am as one mocked 07814 by his neighbour 07453, who calleth 07121 upon God 0433, and he answereth 06030 him: the just 06662 upright 08549 man is mocked 07814.
5 He that is ready 03559 to slip 04571 with his feet 07272 is as a lamp 03940 despised 0937 in the thought 06248 of him that is at ease 07600.
6 The tents 0168 of robbers 07703 prosper 07951, and they that provoke 07264 God 0410 are secure 0987; into whose hand 03027 God 0433 bringeth 0935 abundantly.
7 But 0199 ask 07592 now the beasts 0929, and they shall teach 03384 thee; and the fowls 05775 of the air 08064, and they shall tell 05046 thee:
8 Or speak 07878 to the earth 0776, and it shall teach 03384 thee: and the fishes 01709 of the sea 03220 shall declare 05608 to thee.
9 Who knoweth 03045 not in all these that the hand 03027 of the LORD 03068 hath wrought 06213 this?
10 In whose hand 03027 is the soul 05315 of every living thing 02416, and the breath 07307 of all mankind 0376, 1320. soul: or, lifeall…: Heb. all flesh of man
11 Doth not the ear 0241 try 0974 words 04405? and the mouth 02441 taste 02938 its food 0400? mouth: Heb. palate
12 With the ancient 03453 is wisdom 02451; and in length 0753 of days 03117 understanding 08394.
13 With him is wisdom 02451 and strength 01369, he hath counsel 06098 and understanding 08394. With…: that is, With God
14 Behold, he breaketh down 02040, and it cannot be built again 01129: he shutteth up 05462 a man 0376, and there can be no opening 06605. up: Heb. upon
15 Behold, he withholdeth 06113 the waters 04325, and they dry up 03001: also he sendeth them out 07971, and they overturn 02015 the earth 0776.
16 With him is strength 05797 and wisdom 08454: the deceived 07683 and the deceiver 07686 are his.
17 He leadeth 03212 counsellors 03289 away spoiled 07758, and maketh the judges 08199 fools 01984.
18 He looseth 06605 the bond 04148 of kings 04428, and girdeth 0631 their loins 04975 with a belt 0232.
19 He leadeth 03212 princes 03548 away spoiled 07758, and overthroweth 05557 the mighty 0386.
20 He removeth away 05493 the speech 08193 of the trusty 0539, and taketh away 03947 the understanding 02940 of the aged 02205. speech…: Heb. lip of the faithful
21 He poureth 08210 contempt 0937 upon princes 05081, and weakeneth 07503 the strength 04206 of the mighty 0650. weakeneth…: or, looseth the girdle of the strong
22 He revealeth 01540 deep things 06013 out of darkness 02822, and bringeth 03318 to light 0216 the shadow of death 06757.
23 He increaseth 07679 nations 01471, and destroyeth 06 them: he enlargeth 07849 nations 01471, and leadeth them away 05148. straiteneth: Heb. leadeth in
24 He taketh away 05493 the heart 03820 of the chief 07218 of the people 05971 of the earth 0776, and causeth them to wander 08582 in a wilderness 08414 where there is no way 01870.
25 They grope 04959 in the dark 02822 without light 0216, and he maketh them to stagger 08582 like a drunken 07910 man. stagger: Heb. wander
1 Lo, my eye 05869 hath seen 07200 all this, my ear 0241 hath heard 08085 and understood 0995 it.
2 What ye know 01847, the same do I know 03045 also: I am not inferior 05307 to you.
3 Surely 0199 I would speak 01696 to the Almighty 07706, and I desire 02654 to reason 03198 with God 0410.
4 But 0199 ye are forgers 02950 of lies 08267, ye are all physicians 07495 of no value 0457.
5 O that 05414 ye would altogether 02790 hold your peace 02790! and it should be your wisdom 02451.
6 Hear 08085 now my reasoning 08433, and hearken 07181 to the pleadings 07379 of my lips 08193.
7 Will ye speak 01696 wickedly 05766 for God 0410? and talk 01696 deceitfully 07423 for him?
8 Will ye accept 05375 his person 06440? will ye contend 07378 for God 0410?
9 Is it good 02895 that he should search you out 02713? or as one man 0582 mocketh 02048 another, do ye so mock 02048 him?
10 He will surely 03198 reprove 03198 you, if ye do secretly 05643 accept 05375 persons 06440.
11 Shall not his excellency 07613 make you afraid 01204? and his dread 06343 fall 05307 upon you?
12 Your remembrances 02146 are like 04912 ashes 0665, your bodies 01354 to bodies 01354 of clay 02563.
13 Hold your peace 02790, let me alone, that I may speak 01696, and let come 05674 on me what will. Hold…: Heb. Be silent from me
14 Why do I take 05375 my flesh 01320 in my teeth 08127, and put 07760 my life 05315 in my hand 03709?
15 Though 02005 he shall slay 06991 me, yet will I trust 03176 in him: but I will defend 03198 my own ways 01870 before 06440 him. maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue
16 He also shall be my salvation 03444: for an hypocrite 02611 shall not come 0935 before 06440 him.
17 Hear 08085 diligently 08085 my speech 04405, and my declaration 0262 with your ears 0241.
18 Behold now, I have ordered 06186 my cause 04941; I know 03045 that I shall be justified 06663.
19 Who is he that will plead 07378 with me? for now, if I hold my tongue 02790, I shall give up the ghost 01478.
20 Only do 06213 not two 08147 things to me: then will I not hide 05641 myself from thee 06440.
21 Withdraw 07368 thy hand 03709 far 07368 from me: and let not thy dread 0367 make me afraid 01204.
22 Then call 07121 thou, and I will answer 06030: or let me speak 01696, and answer 07725 thou me.
23 How many are my iniquities 05771 and sins 02403? make me to know 03045 my transgression 06588 and my sin 02403.
24 Why hidest 05641 thou thy face 06440, and holdest 02803 me for thy enemy 0341?
25 Wilt thou break 06206 a leaf 05929 driven to and fro 05086? and wilt thou pursue 07291 the dry 03002 stubble 07179?
26 For thou writest 03789 bitter things 04846 against me, and makest me to possess 03423 the iniquities 05771 of my youth 05271.
27 Thou puttest 07760 my feet 07272 also in the stocks 05465, and observest carefully 08104 all my paths 0734; thou settest a print 02707 upon the heels 08328 of my feet 07272. lookest…: Heb. observestheels: Heb. roots
28 And he, as a rotten thing 07538, consumeth 01086, as a garment 0899 that is moth 06211 eaten 0398.
1 Man 0120 that is born 03205 of a woman 0802 is of few 07116 days 03117, and full 07649 of trouble 07267. few…: Heb. short of days
2 He cometh forth 03318 like a flower 06731, and is cut down 05243: he fleeth 01272 also as a shadow 06738, and continueth 05975 not.
3 And dost thou open 06491 thy eyes 05869 upon such one 02088, and bring 0935 me into judgment 04941 with thee?
4 Who can bring 05414 a clean 02889 thing out of an unclean 02931? not one 0259. can…: Heb. will give
5 Seeing 0518 his days 03117 are determined 02782, the number 04557 of his months 02320 is with thee, thou hast appointed 06213 his bounds 02706 that he cannot pass 05674;
6 Turn 08159 from him, that he may rest 02308, till he shall accomplish 07521, as an hireling 07916, his day 03117. rest: Heb. cease
7 For there is 03426 hope 08615 of a tree 06086, if it is cut down 03772, that it will sprout again 02498, and that its tender branch 03127 will not cease 02308.
8 Though its root 08328 shall become old 02204 in the earth 0776, and its stock 01503 die 04191 in the ground 06083;
9 Yet through the scent 07381 of water 04325 it will bud 06524, and bring forth 06213 boughs 07105 like a plant 05194.
10 But man 01397 dieth 04191, and wasteth away 02522: yea, man 0120 giveth up the ghost 01478, and where is he? wasteth…: Heb. is weakened, or, cut off
11 As the waters 04325 fail 0235 from the sea 03220, and the flood 05104 decayeth 02717 and drieth up 03001:
12 So man 0376 lieth down 07901, and riseth 06965 not: till the heavens 08064 shall be no more 01115, they shall not awake 06974, nor be raised out 05782 of their sleep 08142.
13 O that 05414 thou wouldest hide 06845 me in the grave 07585, that thou wouldest conceal me 05641, until thy wrath 0639 is past 07725, that thou wouldest appoint 07896 me a set time 02706, and remember 02142 me!
14 If a man 01397 dieth 04191, shall he live 02421 again? all the days 03117 of my appointed time 06635 will I wait 03176, till my change 02487 shall come 0935.
15 Thou shalt call 07121, and I will answer 06030 thee: thou wilt have a desire 03700 to the work 04639 of thy hands 03027.
16 For now thou numberest 05608 my steps 06806: dost thou not watch 08104 over my sin 02403?
17 My transgression 06588 is sealed up 02856 in a bag 06872, and thou sewest up 02950 my iniquity 05771.
18 And surely 0199 the mountain 02022 falling 05307 cometh to nought 05034, and the rock 06697 is removed 06275 out of its place 04725. cometh…: Heb. fadeth
19 The waters 04325 wear 07833 the stones 068: thou washest away 07857 the things which grow 05599 out of the dust 06083 of the earth 0776; and thou destroyest 06 the hope 08615 of man 0582. washest…: Heb. overflowest
20 Thou prevailest 08630 for ever 05331 against him, and he passeth 01980: thou changest 08138 his countenance 06440, and sendest him away 07971.
21 His sons 01121 come to honour 03513, and he knoweth 03045 it not; and they are brought low 06819, but he perceiveth 0995 it not of them.
22 But his flesh 01320 upon him shall have pain 03510, and his soul 05315 within him shall mourn 056.
1 Then answered 06030 Eliphaz 0464 the Temanite 08489, and said 0559,
2 Should a wise man 02450 utter 06030 vain 07307 knowledge 01847, and fill 04390 his belly 0990 with the east wind 06921? vain…: Heb. knowledge of wind
3 Should he reason 03198 with unprofitable 05532 talk 01697? or with speeches 04405 which he can do no good 03276?
4 Yea, thou castest off 06565 fear 03374, and restrainest 01639 prayer 07881 before 06440 God 0410. castest…: Heb. makest voidprayer: or, speech
5 For thy mouth 06310 uttereth 0502 thy iniquity 05771, and thou choosest 0977 the tongue 03956 of the crafty 06175. uttereth: Heb. teacheth
6 Thy own mouth 06310 condemneth 07561 thee, and not I: yea, thy own lips 08193 testify 06030 against thee.
7 Art thou the first 07223, 7223 man 0120 that was born 03205? or wast thou made 02342 before 06440 the hills 01389?
8 Hast thou heard 08085 the secret 05475 of God 0433? and dost thou limit 01639 wisdom 02451 to thyself?
9 What knowest 03045 thou, that we know 03045 not? what understandest 0995 thou, which is not in us?
10 With us are both the grayheaded 07867 and very aged 03453 men, much 03524 elder 03117 than thy father 01.
11 Are the consolations 08575 of God 0410 small 04592 with thee? is there any secret 0328 thing 01697 with thee?
12 Why doth thy heart 03820 carry thee away 03947? and what do thy eyes 05869 wink at 07335,
13 That thou turnest 07725 thy spirit 07307 against God 0410, and lettest such words 04405 go out 03318 of thy mouth 06310?
14 What is man 0582, that he should be clean 02135? and he who is born 03205 of a woman 0802, that he should be righteous 06663?
15 Behold, he putteth no trust 0539 in his holy ones 06918; yea, the heavens 08064 are not clean 02141 in his sight 05869.
16 How much more abominable 08581 and filthy 0444 is man 0376, who drinketh 08354 iniquity 05766, 5766 like water 04325?
17 I will show 02331 thee, hear 08085 me; and that which I have seen 02372 I will declare 05608;
18 Which wise 02450 men have told 05046 from their fathers 01, and have not hid 03582 it:
19 To whom alone the earth 0776 was given 05414, and no stranger 02114 passed 05674 among 08432 them.
20 The wicked 07563 man travaileth 02342 with pain all his days 03117, and the number 04557 of years 08141 is hidden 06845 to the oppressor 06184.
21 A dreadful 06343 sound 06963 is in his ears 0241: in prosperity 07965 the destroyer 07703 shall come 0935 upon him. A dreadful…: Heb. A sound of fears
22 He believeth 0539 not that he shall return 07725 out of darkness 02822, and he is waited 06822 for by the sword 02719.
23 He wandereth abroad 05074 for bread 03899, saying, Where is it? he knoweth 03045 that the day 03117 of darkness 02822 is ready 03559 at his hand 03027.
24 Trouble 06862 and anguish 04691 shall make him afraid 01204; they shall prevail 08630 against him, as a king 04428 ready 06264 to the battle 03593.
25 For he stretcheth out 05186 his hand 03027 against God 0410, and strengtheneth 01396 himself against the Almighty 07706.
26 He runneth 07323 upon him, even on his neck 06677, upon his thick 05672 strong 01354 shield 04043:
27 Because he covereth 03680 his face 06440 with his fatness 02459, and maketh 06213 his flanks 03689 heavy with fat 06371.
28 And he dwelleth 07931 in desolate 03582 cities 05892, and in houses 01004 which no man inhabiteth 03427, which are ready 06257 to become heaps 01530.
29 He shall not be rich 06238, neither shall his substance 02428 continue 06965, neither shall he prolong 05186 the perfection 04512 of it upon the earth 0776.
30 He shall not depart 05493 out of darkness 02822; the flame 07957 shall dry up 03001 his branches 03127, and by the breath 07307 of his mouth 06310 shall he go away 05493.
31 Let not him that is deceived 08582 trust 0539 in vanity 07723: for vanity 07723 shall be his recompence 08545.
32 It shall be accomplished 04390 before 03808 his time 03117, and his branch 03712 shall not be green 07488. accomplished: or, cut off
33 He shall shake off 02554 his unripe grape 01154 as the vine 01612, and shall cast off 07993 his flower 05328 as the olive 02132.
34 For the congregation 05712 of hypocrites 02611 shall be desolate 01565, and fire 0784 shall consume 0398 the tabernacles 0168 of bribery 07810.
35 They conceive 02029 mischief 05999, and bring forth 03205 vanity 0205, and their heart 0990 prepareth 03559 deceit 04820. vanity: or, iniquity
1 Then Job 0347 answered 06030 and said 0559,
2 I have heard 08085 many such things 07227: miserable 05999 comforters 05162 are ye all. miserable: or, troublesome
3 Shall vain 07307 words 01697 have an end 07093? or what emboldeneth 04834 thee that thou answerest 06030? vain…: Heb. words of wind
4 I also could speak 01696 as ye do: if 03863 your soul 05315 were 03426 in my soul’s 05315 stead, I could heap up 02266 words 04405 against you, and shake 05128 my head 07218 at 01119 you.
5 But I would strengthen 0553 you with 01119 my mouth 06310, and the moving 05205 of my lips 08193 should relieve 02820 your grief.

14 He breaketh 06555 me with breach 06556 upon 06440 breach 06556, he runneth 07323 upon me like a giant 01368.
15 I have sewed 08609 sackcloth 08242 upon my skin 01539, and defiled 05953 my strength 07161 in the dust 06083.
16 My face 06440 is foul 02560 with weeping 01065, and on my eyelids 06079 are the shadow of death 06757;

27 Behold, I know 03045 your thoughts 04284, and the devices 04209 which ye wrongfully imagine 02554 against me.

1 Then Eliphaz 0464 the Temanite 08489 answered 06030 and said 0559,
2 Can a man 01397 be profitable 05532 to God 0410, as 03588 he that is wise 07919 may be profitable 05532 to himself? as he…: or, if he may be profitable, doth his good success depend thereon?
3 Is it any pleasure 02656 to the Almighty 07706, that thou art righteous 06663? or is it gain 01215 to him, that thou makest thy ways 01870 perfect 08552?
4 Will he reprove 03198 thee for fear 03374 of thee? will he enter 0935 with thee into judgment 04941?
5 Is not thy wickedness 07451 great 07227? and thy iniquities 05771 without end 07093?

7 Thou hast not given water 04325 to the weary 05889 to drink 08248, and thou hast withheld 04513 bread 03899 from the hungry 07457.
8 But as for the mighty 02220 man 0376, he had the earth 0776; and the honourable man 05375, 6440 dwelt 03427 in it. mighty…: Heb. man of armhonourable…: Heb. eminent, or, accepted for countenance
9 Thou hast sent 07971 widows 0490 away empty 07387, and the arms 02220 of the fatherless 03490 have been broken 01792.
10 Therefore snares 06341 are around 05439 thee, and sudden 06597 fear 06343 troubleth 0926 thee;
11 Or darkness 02822, that thou canst not see 07200; and abundance 08229 of waters 04325 cover 03680 thee.
12 Is not God 0433 in the height 01363 of heaven 08064? and behold 07200 the height 07218 of the stars 03556, how high 07311 they are! height of the stars: Heb. head of the stars

15 Hast thou marked 08104 the old 05769 way 0734 which wicked 0205 men 04962 have trodden 01869?
16 Who were cut down 07059 out of time 06256, whose foundation 03247 was overflowed 03332 with a flood 05104: whose…: Heb. a flood was poured upon their foundation

19 The righteous 06662 see 07200 it, and are glad 08055: and the innocent 05355 mock them 03932.

22 Receive 03947, I pray thee, the law 08451 from his mouth 06310, and lay up 07760 his words 0561 in thy heart 03824.
23 If thou shalt return 07725 to the Almighty 07706, thou shalt be built up 01129, thou shalt put away 07368 iniquity 05766 far 07368 from thy tents 0168.
24 Then shalt thou lay up 07896 gold 01220 as 05921 dust 06083, and the gold of Ophir 0211 as the stones 06697 of the brooks 05158. as dust: or, on the dust

26 For then shalt thou have thy delight 06026 in the Almighty 07706, and shalt lift up 05375 thy face 06440 to God 0433.
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer 06279 to him, and he shall hear 08085 thee, and thou shalt pay 07999 thy vows 05088.
28 Thou shalt also decree 01504 a thing 0562, and it shall be established 06965 to thee: and the light 0216 shall shine 05050 upon thy ways 01870.
29 When men are cast down 08213, then thou shalt say 0559, Lift them up 01466; and he shall save 03467 the humble 07807 person 05869. the humble…: Heb. him that hath low eyes

1 Then Job 0347 answered 06030 and said 0559,
2 Even to day 03117 is my complaint 07879 bitter 04805: my stroke 03027 is heavier 03513 than my groaning 0585. stroke: Heb. hand
3 O that 05414 I knew 03045 where I might find 04672 him! that I might come 0935 even to his seat 08499!
4 I would set 06186 my cause 04941 before 06440 him, and fill 04390 my mouth 06310 with arguments 08433.
5 I would know 03045 the words 04405 which he would answer 06030 me, and understand 0995 what he would say 0559 to me.
6 Would he plead 07378 against 05978 me with his great 07230 power 03581? No; but he would put 07760 strength in me.
7 There the righteous 03477 might dispute 03198 with him; so should I be delivered 06403 for ever 05331 from my judge 08199.
8 Behold, I go 01980 forward 06924, but he is not there; and backward 0268, but I cannot perceive 0995 him:
9 On the left hand 08040, where he doth work 06213, but I cannot behold 02372 him: he hideth 05848 himself on the right hand 03225, that I cannot see 07200 him:

11 My foot 07272 hath held 0270 his steps 0838, his way 01870 have I kept 08104, and not declined 05186.
12 Neither have I gone back 04185 from the commandment 04687 of his lips 08193; I have esteemed 06845 the words 0561 of his mouth 06310 more than my necessary 02706 food. esteemed: Heb. hid, or, laid upmy…: or, my appointed portion
13 But he is in one 0259 mind, and who can turn 07725 him? and what his soul 05315 desireth 0183, even that he doeth 06213.
14 For he performeth 07999 the thing that is appointed 02706 for me: and many 07227 such 02007 things are with him.
15 Therefore am I troubled 0926 at his presence 06440: when I consider 0995, I am afraid 06342 of him.
16 For God 0410 maketh my heart 03820 soft 07401, and the Almighty 07706 troubleth 0926 me:
17 Because I was not cut off 06789 before 06440 the darkness 02822, neither hath he covered 03680 the darkness 0652 from my face 06440.
1 Why, seeing times 06256 are not hid 06845 from the Almighty 07706, do they that know 03045 him not see 02372 his days 03117?
2 Some remove 05381 the landmarks 01367; they violently take away 01497 flocks 05739, and their feed 07462. feed…: or, feed them
3 They drive away 05090 the donkey 02543 of the fatherless 03490, they take 02254 the widow’s 0490 ox 07794 for a pledge 02254.
4 They turn 05186 the needy 034 out of the way 01870: the poor 06041, 6035 of the earth 0776 hide 02244 themselves together 03162.
5 Behold, as wild donkeys 06501 in the desert 04057, they go forth 03318 to their work 06467; rising early 07836 for a prey 02964: the wilderness 06160 yieldeth food 03899 for them and for their children 05288.
6 They reap 07114 every one his grain 01098 in the field 07704: and they gather 03953 the vintage 03754 of the wicked 07563. corn: Heb. mingled corn, or, dredgethey gather…: Heb. the wicked gather the vintage
7 They cause the naked 06174 to lodge 03885 without clothing 03830, that they have no covering 03682 in the cold 07135.
8 They are wet 07372 with the showers 02230 of the mountains 02022, and embrace 02263 the rock 06697 for want of a shelter 04268.
9 They pluck 01497 the fatherless 03490 from the breast 07699, and take a pledge 02254 of the poor 06041.
10 They cause him to go 01980 naked 06174 without clothing 03830, and they take away 05375 the sheaf 06016 from the hungry 07457;
11 Who make oil 06671 within 0996 their walls 07791, and tread 01869 their winepresses 03342, and suffer thirst 06770.
12 Men 04962 groan 05008 from out of the city 05892, and the soul 05315 of the wounded 02491 crieth out 07768: yet God 0433 layeth 07760 not folly 08604 to them.
13 They are of those that rebel 04775 against the light 0216; they know 05234 not its ways 01870, nor abide 03427 in its paths 05410.
14 The murderer 07523 rising 06965 with the light 0216 killeth 06991 the poor 06041 and needy 034, and in the night 03915 is as a thief 01590.
15 The eye 05869 also of the adulterer 05003 waiteth 08104 for the twilight 05399, saying 0559, No eye 05869 shall see 07789 me: and disguiseth 05643, 7760 his face 06440. disguiseth…: Heb. setteth his face in secret
16 In the dark 02822 they dig through 02864 houses 01004, which they had marked 02856 for themselves in the daytime 03119: they know 03045 not the light 0216.
17 For the morning 01242 is to them even as 03162 the shadow of death 06757: if one knoweth 05234 them, they are in the terrors 01091 of the shadow of death 06757.
18 He is swift 07031 as the waters 06440, 4325; their portion 02513 is cursed 07043 in the earth 0776: he beholdeth 06437 not the way 01870 of the vineyards 03754.
19 Drought 06723 and heat 02527 consume 01497 the snow 07950 waters 04325: so doth the grave 07585 those who have sinned 02398. consume: Heb. violently take
20 The womb 07358 shall forget 07911 him; the worm 07415 shall feed sweetly 04988 on him; he shall be no more remembered 02142; and wickedness 05766 shall be broken 07665 as a tree 06086.
21 He wrongeth 07462 the barren 06135 that beareth 03205 not: and doeth not good 03190 to the widow 0490.
22 He draweth 04900 also the mighty 047 with his power 03581: he riseth up 06965, and no man is sure 0539 of life 02416. no…: or, he trusteth not his own life
23 Though it is given 05414 him to be in safety 0983, on which he resteth 08172; yet his eyes 05869 are upon their ways 01870.
24 They are exalted 07426 for a little while 04592, but are gone and brought low 04355; they are taken out 07092 of the way 01870 as all others, and cut off 05243 as the tops 07218 of the heads of grain 07641. are gone: Heb. are nottaken…: Heb. closed up
25 And if it is not so now 0645, who will make 07760 me a liar 03576, and make 07760 my speech 04405 of no worth 0408?
1 Then answered 06030 Bildad 01085 the Shuhite 07747, and said 0559,
2 Dominion 04910 and fear 06343 are with him, he maketh 06213 peace 07965 in his high places 04791.
3 Is there 03426 any number 04557 of his armies 01416? and upon whom doth not his light 0216 arise 06965?
4 How then can man 0582 be justified 06663 with God 0410? or how can he be clean 02135 that is born 03205 of a woman 0802?
5 Behold even to the moon 03394, and it shineth 0166 not; and the stars 03556 are not pure 02141 in his sight 05869.
6 How much less man 0582, that is a worm 07415? and the son 01121 of man 0120, who is a worm 08438?
1 But Job 0347 answered 06030 and said 0559,
2 How hast thou helped 05826 him that is without power 03581? how savest 03467 thou the arm 02220 that hath no 03808 strength 05797?
3 How hast thou counselled 03289 him that hath no 03808 wisdom 02451? and how hast thou abundantly 07230 declared 03045 the thing as it is 08454?
4 To whom hast thou uttered 05046 words 04405? and whose spirit 05397 came 03318 from thee?
5 Dead 07496 things are formed 02342 from under the waters 04325, and its inhabitants 07931. and the…: or, with the inhabitants
6 Hell 07585 is naked 06174 before him, and destruction 011 hath no covering 03682.
7 He stretcheth out 05186 the north 06828 over the empty place 08414, and hangeth 08518 the earth 0776 upon nothing 01099.
8 He bindeth up 06887 the waters 04325 in his thick clouds 05645; and the cloud 06051 is not torn 01234 under them.
9 He holdeth back 0270 the face 06440 of his throne 03678, and spreadeth 06576 his cloud 06051 upon it.
10 He hath surrounded 02328 the waters 06440, 4325 with a border 02706, until the day 0216 and night 02822 come to an end 08503. until…: Heb. until the end of light with darkness
11 The pillars 05982 of heaven 08064 tremble 07322 and are astonished 08539 at his reproof 01606.
12 He divideth 07280 the sea 03220 by his power 03581, and by his understanding 08394, 8394 he smiteth 04272 through the proud 07293. the proud: Heb. pride
13 By his spirit 07307 he hath garnished 08235 the heavens 08064; his hand 03027 hath formed 02342 the crooked 01281 serpent 05175.
14 Lo, these are parts 07098 of his ways 01870: but how little 08102 a portion 01697 is heard 08085 of him? but the thunder 07482 of his power 01369 who can understand 0995?
1 Moreover Job 0347 continued 03254, 5375 his parable 04912, and said 0559, continued: Heb. added to take up
2 As God 0410 liveth 02416, who hath taken away 05493 my judgment 04941; and the Almighty 07706, who hath afflicted 04843 my soul 05315; vexed…: Heb. made my soul bitter

4 My lips 08193 shall not speak 01696 wickedness 05766, nor my tongue 03956 utter 01897 deceit 07423.
5 Far be it from me 02486 that I should justify 06663 you: till I die 01478 I will not remove 05493 my integrity 08538 from me.
6 My righteousness 06666 I hold 02388 fast, and will not let it go 07503: my heart 03824 shall not reproach 02778 me so long as I live 03117. so long…: Heb. from my days
7 Let my enemy 0341 be as the wicked 07563, and he that riseth up 06965 against me as the unrighteous 05767.
8 For what is the hope 08615 of the hypocrite 02611, though he hath gained 01214, when God 0433 taketh away 07953 his soul 05315?
9 Will God 0410 hear 08085 his cry 06818 when trouble 06869 cometh 0935 upon him?
10 Will he delight 06026 himself in the Almighty 07706? will he always 06256 call 07121 upon God 0433?
11 I will teach 03384 you by the hand 03027 of God 0410: that which is with the Almighty 07706 will I not conceal 03582. by…: or, being in the hand, etc
12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen 02372 it; why then are ye thus altogether 01892 vain 01891?
13 This is the portion 02506 of a wicked 07563 man 0120 with God 0410, and the heritage 05159 of oppressors 06184, which they shall receive 03947 of the Almighty 07706.
14 If his children 01121 are multiplied 07235, it is for 03926 the sword 02719: and his offspring 06631 shall not be satisfied 07646 with bread 03899.
15 Those that remain 08300 of him shall be buried 06912 in death 04194: and his widows 0490 shall not weep 01058.
16 Though he should heap up 06651 silver 03701 as the dust 06083, and prepare 03559 raiment 04403 as the clay 02563;
17 He may prepare 03559 it, but the just 06662 shall put it on 03847, and the innocent 05355 shall divide 02505 the silver 03701.
18 He buildeth 01129 his house 01004 as a moth 06211, and as a booth 05521 that the keeper 05341 maketh 06213.
19 The rich 06223 man shall lie down 07901, but he shall not be gathered 0622: he openeth 06491 his eyes 05869, and he is not.
20 Terrors 01091 take hold 05381 on him as waters 04325, a tempest 05492 stealeth him away 01589 in the night 03915.
21 The east 06921 wind carrieth him away 05375, and he departeth 03212: and as a storm hurleth 08175 him out of his place 04725.

4 The flood 05158 breaketh out 06555 from the inhabitant 01481; even the waters forgotten 07911 by the foot 07272: they are dried up 01809, they have gone away 05128 from men 0582.
5 As for the earth 0776, out of it cometh 03318 bread 03899: and under it is turned up 02015 as it were fire 0784.

8 The young men 05288 saw 07200 me, and hid 02244 themselves: and the aged 03453 arose 06965, and stood up 05975.
9 The princes 08269 stopped 06113 talking 04405, and laid 07760 their hand 03709 on their mouth 06310.

12 Because I delivered 04422 the poor 06041 that cried 07768, and the fatherless 03490, and him that had none to help 05826 him.
13 The blessing 01293 of him that was ready to perish 06 came 0935 upon me: and I caused the widow’s 0490 heart 03820 to sing for joy 07442.
14 I put 03847 on righteousness 06664, and it clothed 03847 me: my judgment 04941 was as a robe 04598 and a diadem 06797.
15 I was eyes 05869 to the blind 05787, and feet 07272 was I to the lame 06455.
16 I was a father 01 to the poor 034: and the cause 07379 which I knew 03045 not I searched out 02713.

21 To me men gave ear 08085, and waited 03176, and kept silence 01826 at 03926 my counsel 06098.
22 After 0310 my words 01697 they spoke not again 08138; and my speech 04405 fell 05197 upon them.
23 And they waited 03176 for me as for the rain 04306; and they opened 06473 their mouth 06310 wide as for the latter rain 04456.
24 If I mocked 07832 at them, they had no confidence 0539; and the light 0216 of my countenance 06440 they cast not down 05307.
25 I chose 0977 out their way 01870, and sat 03427 chief 07218, and dwelt 07931 as a king 04428 in the army 01416, as one that comforteth 05162 the mourners 057.

12 Upon my right 03225 hand rise 06965 the youth 06526; they push away 07971 my feet 07272, and they raise up 05549 against me the ways 0734 of their destruction 0343.
13 They mar 05420 my path 05410, they set forward 03276 my calamity 01942, 1962, they have no helper 05826.
14 They came 0857 upon me as a wide 07342 breaking 06556 in of waters: in 08478 the desolation 07722 they rolled 01556 themselves upon me.
15 Terrors 01091 are turned 02015 upon me: they pursue 07291 my soul 05082 as the wind 07307: and my welfare 03444 passeth away 05674 as a cloud 05645. my soul: Heb. my principal one
16 And now my soul 05315 is poured out 08210 upon me; the days 03117 of affliction 06040 have taken hold 0270 upon me.

18 By the great 07230 force 03581 of my disease is my garment 03830 changed 02664: it bindeth me about 0247 as the collar 06310 of my coat 03801.
19 He hath cast 03384 me into the mire 02563, and I have become like 04911 dust 06083 and ashes 0665.
20 I cry 07768 to thee, and thou dost not hear 06030 me: I stand up 05975, and thou regardest 0995 me not.

26 When I looked 06960 for good 02896, then evil 07451 came 0935: and when I waited 03176 for light 0216, there came 0935 darkness 0652.
27 My bowels 04578 boiled 07570, and rested 01826 not: the days 03117 of affliction 06040 came upon 06923 me.
28 I went 01980 mourning 06937 without the sun 02535: I stood up 06965, and I cried 07768 in the congregation 06951.

1 I made 03772 a covenant 01285 with my eyes 05869; why then should I think 0995 upon a maid 01330?
2 For what portion 02506 of God 0433 is there from above 04605? and what inheritance 05159 of the Almighty 07706 from on high 04791?
3 Is not destruction 0343 to the wicked 05767? and a strange 05235 punishment to the workers 06466 of iniquity 0205?

35 O that 05414 one would hear 08085 me! behold, my desire 08420 is, that the Almighty 07706 would answer 06030 me, and that my adversary 0376, 7379 had written 03789 a book 05612. my…: or, my sign is that the Almighty will

6 And Elihu 0453 the son 01121 of Barachel 01292 the Buzite 0940 answered 06030 and said 0559, I am young 06810, 3117, and ye are very old 03453; therefore I was afraid 02119, and dared 03372 not show 02331 you my opinion 01843. young: Heb. few of daysdurst…: Heb. feared

12 Yea, I attended 0995 to you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced 03198 Job 0347, or that answered 06030 his words 0561:
13 Lest ye should say 0559, We have found out 04672 wisdom 02451: God 0410 thrusteth him down 05086, not man 0376.
14 Now he hath not directed 06186 his words 04405 against me: neither will I answer 07725 him with your speeches 0561. directed: or, ordered
15 They were amazed 02865, they answered 06030 no more: they stopped 06275 speaking 04405. left…: Heb. removed speeches from themselves
16 When I had waited 03176, (for they spoke 01696 not, but stood still 05975, and answered 06030 no more;)
17 I said, I will answer 06030 also my part 02506, I also will show 02331 my opinion 01843.
18 For I am full 04390 of matter 04405, the spirit 07307 within 0990 me constraineth 06693 me. matter: Heb. wordsspirit…: Heb. spirit of my belly
19 Behold, my belly 0990 is as wine 03196 which hath no vent 06605; it is ready to burst 01234 like new 02319 bottles 0178. hath…: Heb. is not opened
20 I will speak 01696, that I may be refreshed 07304: I will open 06605 my lips 08193 and answer 06030. be…: Heb. breathe
21 Let me not, I pray you, accept 05375 any man’s 0376 person 06440, neither let me give flattering titles 03655 to man 0120.
22 For I know 03045 not to give flattering titles 03655; in so doing my maker 06213 would soon 04592 take me away 05375.
1 Therefore 0199, Job 0347, I pray thee, hear 08085 my speeches 04405, and hearken 0238 to all my words 01697.
2 Behold, now I have opened 06605 my mouth 06310, my tongue 03956 hath spoken 01696 in my mouth 02441. in my mouth: Heb. in my palate
3 My words 0561 shall be of the uprightness 03476 of my heart 03820: and my lips 08193 shall utter 04448 knowledge 01847 clearly 01305.
4 The Spirit 07307 of God 0410 hath made 06213 me, and the breath 05397 of the Almighty 07706 hath given me life 02421.
5 If thou canst 03201 answer 07725 me, set thy words in order 06186 before 06440 me, take thy stand 03320.
6 Behold, I am according to thy wish 06310 in God’s 0410 stead: I also am formed 07169 out of the clay 02563. wish: Heb. mouthformed: Heb. cut
7 Behold, my terror 0367 shall not make thee afraid 01204, neither shall my hand 0405 be heavy 03513 upon thee.
8 Surely thou hast spoken 0559 in my hearing 0241, and I have heard 08085 the voice 06963 of thy words 04405, saying, hearing: Heb. ears
9 I am clean 02134 without transgression 06588, I am innocent 02643; neither is there iniquity 05771 in me.
10 Behold, he findeth 04672 occasions 08569 against me, he counteth 02803 me for his enemy 0341,
11 He putteth 07760 my feet 07272 in the stocks 05465, he marketh 08104 all my paths 0734.
12 Behold, in this thou art not just 06663: I will answer 06030 thee, that God 0433 is greater 07235 than man 0582.
13 Why dost thou strive 07378 against him? for he giveth not account 06030 of any of his matters 01697. he giveth…: Heb. he answereth not
14 For God 0410 speaketh 01696 once 0259, yea twice 08147, yet man perceiveth 07789 it not.
15 In a dream 02472, in a vision 02384 of the night 03915, when deep sleep 08639 falleth 05307 upon men 0582, in slumberings 08572 upon the bed 04904;
16 Then he openeth 01540 the ears 0241 of men 0582, and sealeth 02856 their instruction 04561, he…: Heb. he revealeth, or, uncovereth
17 That he may withdraw 05493 man 0120 from his purpose 04639, and hide 03680 pride 01466 from man 01397. purpose: Heb. work
18 He keepeth back 02820 his soul 05315 from the pit 07845, and his life 02416 from perishing 05674 by the sword 07973. from perishing: Heb. from passing
19 He is chastened 03198 also with pain 04341 upon his bed 04904, and the multitude 07230, 7379 of his bones 06106 with strong 0386 pain:
20 So that his life 02416 abhorreth 02092 bread 03899, and his soul 05315 dainty 08378 food 03978. dainty…: Heb. meat of desire
21 His flesh 01320 is consumed away 03615, that it cannot be seen 07210; and his bones 06106 that were not seen 07200 stick out 08192, 8205.
22 Yea, his soul 05315 draweth near 07126 to the grave 07845, and his life 02416 to the destroyers 04191.
23 If there 03426 is a messenger 04397 with him, an interpreter 03887, one 0259 among a thousand 0505, to show 05046 to man 0120 his uprightness 03476:
24 Then he is gracious 02603 to him, and saith 0559, Deliver 06308 him from going down 03381 to the pit 07845: I have found 04672 a ransom 03724. a ransom: or, an atonement
25 His flesh 01320 shall be fresher 07375 than a child’s 05290: he shall return 07725 to the days 03117 of his youth 05934: a child’s: Heb. childhood
26 He shall pray 06279 to God 0433, and he will be favourable 07521 to him: and he shall see 07200 his face 06440 with joy 08643: for he will render 07725 to man 0582 his righteousness 06666.
27 He looketh 07789 upon men 0582, and if any shall say 0559, I have sinned 02398, and perverted 05753 that which was right 03477, and it profited 07737 me not; He…: or, He shall look upon men, and say
28 He will deliver 06299 his soul 05315 from going 05674 into the pit 07845, and his life 02416 shall see 07200 the light 0216. He…: or, He hath delivered my soul, etc, and my life
29 Lo, all these things God 0410 often 06471, 7969 worketh 06466 with man 01397, oftentimes: Heb. twice and thrice
30 To bring back 07725 his soul 05315 from the pit 07845, to be enlightened 0215 with the light 0216 of the living 02416.
31 Mark well 07181, O Job 0347, hearken 08085 to me: hold thy peace 02790, and I will speak 01696.
32 If thou hast 03426 any thing to say 04405, answer 07725 me: speak 01696, for I desire 02654 to justify 06663 thee.
33 If not, hearken 08085 to me: hold thy peace 02790, and I shall teach 0502 thee wisdom 02451.
1 Furthermore Elihu 0453 answered 06030 and said 0559,
2 Hear 08085 my words 04405, O ye wise 02450 men; and give ear 0238 to me, ye that have knowledge 03045.
3 For the ear 0241 trieth 0974 words 04405, as the mouth 02441 tasteth 02938 food 0398. mouth: Heb. palate
4 Let us choose 0977 for ourselves what is right 04941: let us know 03045 among ourselves what is good 02896.
5 For Job 0347 hath said 0559, I am righteous 06663: and God 0410 hath taken away 05493 my judgment 04941.
6 Should I lie 03576 against my right 04941? my wound 02671 is incurable 0605 without transgression 06588. my wound: Heb. mine arrow
7 What man 01397 is like Job 0347, who drinketh up 08354 scorning 03933 like water 04325?
8 Who goeth 0732 in company 02274 with the workers 06466 of iniquity 0205, and walketh 03212 with wicked 07562 men 0582.
9 For he hath said 0559, It profiteth 05532 a man 01397 nothing that he should delight 07521 himself with God 0430.
10 Therefore hearken 08085 to me, ye men 0582 of understanding 03824: far be it 02486 from God 0410, that he should do wickedness 07562; and from the Almighty 07706, that he should commit iniquity 05766. men…: Heb. men of heart
11 For the work 06467 of a man 0120 he shall render 07999 to him, and cause every man 0376 to find 04672 according to his ways 0734.
12 Yea, surely 0551 God 0410 will not do wickedly 07561, neither will the Almighty 07706 pervert 05791 judgment 04941.
13 Who hath given him a charge 06485 over the earth 0776? or who hath disposed 07760 the whole world 08398? the whole: Heb. all of it?
14 If he should set 07760 his heart 03820 upon man, if he should gather 0622 to himself his spirit 07307 and his breath 05397; man: Heb. him
15 All flesh 01320 would perish 01478 together 03162, and man 0120 would turn again 07725 to dust 06083.
16 If now thou hast understanding 0998, hear 08085 this: hearken 0238 to the voice 06963 of my words 04405.
17 Shall even he that hateth 08130 right 04941 govern 02280? and wilt thou condemn 07561 him that is most 03524 just 06662? govern: Heb. bind?
18 Is it fit to say 0559 to a king 04428, Thou art wicked 01100? and to princes 05081, Ye are ungodly 07563?
19 How much less to him that accepteth 05375 not the persons 06440 of princes 08269, nor regardeth 05234 the rich 07771 more than 06440 the poor 01800? for they all are the work 04639 of his hands 03027.
20 In a moment 07281 they shall die 04191, and the people 05971 shall be troubled 01607 at midnight 02676, 3915, and pass away 05674: and the mighty 047 shall be taken away 05493 without hand 03027. the mighty…: Heb. they shall take away the mighty
21 For his eyes 05869 are upon the ways 01870 of man 0376, and he seeth 07200 all his goings 06806.
22 There is no darkness 02822, nor shadow of death 06757, where the workers 06466 of iniquity 0205 may hide 05641 themselves.
23 For he will not lay 07760 upon man 0376 more than right; that he should enter 01980 into judgment 04941 with God 0410. enter: Heb. go
24 He shall break in pieces 07489 mighty men 03524 without number 02714, and set 05975 others 0312 in their stead. number: Heb. searching out
25 Therefore he knoweth 05234 their works 04566, and he overturneth 02015 them in the night 03915, so that they are destroyed 01792. destroyed: Heb. crushed
26 He striketh 05606 them as 08478 wicked men 07563 in the open 04725 sight 07200 of others; open…: Heb. place of beholders
27 Because they turned back 05493 from him 0310, and would not consider 07919 any of his ways 01870: him: Heb. after him
28 So that they cause the cry 06818 of the poor 01800 to come 0935 to him, and he heareth 08085 the cry 06818 of the afflicted 06041.
29 When he giveth quietness 08252, who then can make trouble 07561? and when he hideth 05641 his face 06440, who then can behold 07789 him? whether it be done against a nation 01471, or against a man 0120 only 03162:
30 That the hypocrite 0120, 2611 may not reign 04427, lest the people 05971 should be ensnared 04170.
31 Surely hast any one said 0559 to God 0410, I have borne 05375 chastisement, I will not offend 02254 any more:
32 That which I see 02372 not 01107 teach 03384 thou me: if I have done 06466 iniquity 05766, I will do 03254 no more.
33 Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense 07999 it, whether thou shalt refuse 03588, 3988, or whether thou shalt choose 0977; and not I: therefore speak 01696 what thou knowest 03045. according…: Heb. from with thee?
34 Let men 0582 of understanding 03824 tell 0559 me, and let a wise 02450 man 01397 hearken 08085 to me. of…: Heb. of heart
35 Job 0347 hath spoken 01696 without knowledge 01847, and his words 01697 were without wisdom 07919.
36 My desire 015, 1 is that Job 0347 may be tried 0974 to the end 05331 because of his answers 08666 for wicked 0205 men 0582. My…: or, My father, let Job be tried
37 For he addeth 03254 rebellion 06588 to his sin 02403, he clappeth 05606 his hands among us, and multiplieth 07235 his words 0561 against God 0410.
1 Elihu 0453 spoke 06030 moreover, and said 0559,
2 Thinkest 02803 thou this to be right 04941, that thou saidst 0559, My righteousness 06664 is more than God’s 0410?
3 For thou saidst 0559, What advantage 05532 will it be to thee? and, What profit 03276 shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin 02403? if…: or, by it more than by my sin
4 I will answer 07725, 4405 thee, and thy companions 07453 with thee. answer…: Heb. return to thee words
5 Look 05027 to the heavens 08064, and see 07200; and behold 07789 the clouds 07834 which are higher 01361 than thou.
6 If thou sinnest 02398, what doest 06466 thou against him? or if thy transgressions 06588 are multiplied 07231, what doest 06213 thou to him?
7 If thou art righteous 06663, what givest 05414 thou to him? or what receiveth 03947 he from thy hand 03027?
8 Thy wickedness 07562 may hurt a man 0376 as thou art; and thy righteousness 06666 may profit the son 01121 of man 0120.
9 By reason of the multitude 07230 of oppressions 06217 they make the oppressed to cry 02199: they cry out 07768 by reason of the arm 02220 of the mighty 07227.
10 But none saith 0559, Where is God 0433 my maker 06213, who giveth 05414 songs 02158 in the night 03915;
11 Who teacheth 0502 us more than the beasts 0929 of the earth 0776, and maketh us wiser 02449 than the fowls 05775 of heaven 08064?
12 There they cry 06817, but none giveth answer 06030, because 06440 of the pride 01347 of evil men 07451.
13 Surely God 0410 will not hear 08085 vanity 07723, neither will the Almighty 07706 regard 07789 it.
14 Although 0637 thou sayest 0559 thou shalt not see 07789 him, yet judgment 01779 is before 06440 him; therefore trust 02342 thou in him.
15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited 06485 in his anger 0639; yet he knoweth 03045 it not in great 03966 extremity 06580: he hath: that is, God hathhe knoweth: that is, Job knoweth
16 Therefore doth Job 0347 open 06475 his mouth 06310 in vain 01892; he multiplieth 03527 words 04405 without 01097 knowledge 01847.
1 Elihu 0453 also proceeded 03254, and said 0559,
2 Bear with 03803 me a little 02191, and I will show 02331 thee that I have yet to speak 04405 on God’s 0433 behalf. I have…: Heb. there are yet words for God
3 I will bring 05375 my knowledge 01843 from afar 07350, and will ascribe 05414 righteousness 06664 to my Maker 06466.
4 For truly 0551 my words 04405 shall not be false 08267: he that is perfect 08549 in knowledge 01844 is with thee.
5 Behold, God 0410 is mighty 03524, and despiseth 03988 not any: he is mighty 03524 in strength 03581 and wisdom 03820. wisdom: Heb. heart
6 He preserveth not the life 02421 of the wicked 07563: but giveth 05414 right 04941 to the poor 06041. poor: or, afflicted
7 He withdraweth 01639 not his eyes 05869 from the righteous 06662: but with kings 04428 are they on the throne 03678; yea, he doth establish 03427 them for ever 05331, and they are exalted 01361.
8 And if they are bound 0631 in fetters 02131, and are held 03920 in cords 02256 of affliction 06040;
9 Then he showeth 05046 them their work 06467, and their transgressions 06588 that they have exceeded 01396.
10 He openeth 01540 also their ear 0241 to discipline 04148, and commandeth 0559 that they return 07725 from iniquity 0205.
11 If they obey 08085 and serve 05647 him, they shall spend 03615 their days 03117 in prosperity 02896, and their years 08141 in pleasures 05273.
12 But if they obey 08085 not, they shall perish 05674 by the sword 07973, and they shall die 01478 without knowledge 01847. perish: Heb. pass away
13 But the hypocrites 02611 in heart 03820 heap up 07760 wrath 0639: they cry 07768 not when he bindeth 0631 them.
14 They 05315 die 04191 in youth 05290, and their life 02416 is among the sodomites 06945. They…: Heb. Their soul diethunclean: or, sodomites
15 He delivereth 02502 the poor 06041 in his affliction 06040, and openeth 01540 their ears 0241 in oppression 03906. poor: or, afflicted
16 Even so would he have removed 05496 thee out of distress 06310, 6862 into a broad place 07338, where 08478 there is no restraint 04164; and that which should be set 05183 on thy table 07979 should be full 04390 of fatness 01880. that…: Heb. the rest of thy table
17 But thou hast fulfilled 04390 the judgment 01779 of the wicked 07563: judgment 01779 and justice 04941 take hold 08551 on thee. take…: or, should uphold thee
18 Because there is wrath 02534, beware lest he take thee away 05496 with his stroke 05607: then a great 07230 ransom 03724 cannot deliver 05186 thee. deliver…: Heb. turn thee aside
19 Will he esteem 06186 thy riches 07769? no, not gold 01222, nor all the forces 03981 of strength 03581.
20 Desire 07602 not the night 03915, when people 05971 are cut off 05927 in their place.
21 Take heed 08104, regard 06437 not iniquity 0205: for this hast thou chosen 0977 rather than affliction 06040.
22 Behold, God 0410 exalteth 07682 by his power 03581: who teacheth 03384 like him?
23 Who hath directed 06485 him his way 01870? or who can say 0559, Thou hast wrought 06466 iniquity 05766?
24 Remember 02142 that thou magnify 07679 his work 06467, which men 0582 behold 07891.
25 Every man 0120 may see 02372 it; man 0582 may behold 05027 it afar off 07350.
26 Behold, God 0410 is great 07689, and we know 03045 him not, neither can the number 04557 of his years 08141 be searched out 02714.
27 For he maketh small 01639 the drops 05198 of water 04325: they pour down 02212 rain 04306 according to the vapour 0108 of it:
28 Which the clouds 07834 do drop 05140 and distil 07491 upon man 0120 abundantly 07227.
29 Also can any understand 0995 the spreadings 04666 of the clouds 05645, or the noise 08663 of his tabernacle 05521?
30 Behold, he spreadeth 06566 his light 0216 upon it, and covereth 03680 the bottom 08328 of the sea 03220. bottom: Heb. roots
31 For by them he judgeth 01777 the people 05971; he giveth 05414 food 0400 in abundance 04342.
32 With clouds 03709 he covereth 03680 the light 0216; and commandeth 06680 it not to shine by the cloud that cometh between 06293.
33 The noise 07452 of it showeth 05046 concerning it, the cattle 04735 also concerning the vapour 05927. the vapour: Heb. that which goeth up
1 At this 02063 also my heart 03820 trembleth 02729, and is moved out 05425 of its place 04725.
2 Hear 08085 attentively 08085 the noise 07267 of his voice 06963, and the sound 01899 that goeth out 03318 of his mouth 06310. Hear…: Heb. Hear in hearing
3 He directeth 03474 it 08281 under the whole heaven 08064, and his lightning 0216 to the ends 03671 of the earth 0776. lightning: Heb. lightends: Heb. wings
4 After 0310 it a voice 06963 roareth 07580: he thundereth 07481 with the voice 06963 of his excellency 01347; and he will not restrain 06117 them when his voice 06963 is heard 08085.
5 God 0410 thundereth 07481 marvellously 06381 with his voice 06963; great things 01419 he doeth 06213, which we cannot comprehend 03045.
6 For he saith 0559 to the snow 07950, Be thou 01933 on the earth 0776; likewise to the small 04306 rain 01653, and to the great 04306 rain 01653 of his strength 05797. likewise…: Heb. and to the shower of rain, and to the showers of rain of his strength
7 He sealeth up 02856 the hand 03027 of every man 0120; that all men 0582 may know 03045 his work 04639.
8 Then the beasts 02416 go 0935 into 01119 dens 0695, and remain 07931 in their places 04585.
9 From the south 02315 cometh 0935 the whirlwind 05492: and cold 07135 from the north 04215. south: Heb. chambernorth: Heb. scattering winds
10 By the breath 05397 of God 0410 frost 07140 is given 05414: and the breadth 07341 of the waters 04325 is narrowed 04164.
11 Also by watering 07377 he wearieth 02959 the thick cloud 05645: he scattereth 06327 his bright 0216 cloud 06051: his…: Heb. the cloud of his light
12 And it is turned 02015 around 04524 by his counsels 08458: that they may do 06467 whatever he commandeth 06680 them upon the face 06440 of the world 08398 on the earth 0776.
13 He causeth it to come 04672, whether for correction 07626, or for his land 0776, or for mercy 02617. correction: Heb. a rod
14 Hearken 0238 to this, O Job 0347: stand still 05975, and consider 0995 the wondrous 06381 works of God 0410.
15 Dost thou know 03045 when God 0433 disposed 07760 them, and caused the light 0216 of his cloud 06051 to shine 03313?
16 Dost thou know 03045 the balancings 04657 of the clouds 05645, the wondrous works 04652 of him who is perfect 08549 in knowledge 01843?
17 How thy garments 0899 are warm 02525, when he quieteth 08252 the earth 0776 by the south 01864 wind?
18 Hast thou with him spread out 07554 the sky 07834, which is strong 02389, and as a molten 03332 looking glass 07209?
19 Teach 03045 us what we shall say 0559 to him; for we cannot order 06186 our speech by reason 06440 of darkness 02822.
20 Shall it be told 05608 him that I speak 01696? if a man 0376 shall speak 0559, surely he shall be swallowed up 01104.
21 And now men see 07200 not the bright 0925 light 0216 which is in the clouds 07834: but the wind 07307 passeth 05674, and cleanseth 02891 them.
22 Fair weather 02091 cometh 0857 from the north 06828: with God 0433 is terrible 03372 majesty 01935. Fair…: Heb. Gold
23 As for the Almighty 07706, we cannot find him out 04672: he is excellent 07689 in power 03581, and in judgment 04941, and in abundance 07230 of justice 06666: he will not afflict 06031.
24 Men 0582 therefore fear 03372 him: he respecteth 07200 not any that are wise 02450 of heart 03820.
1 Then the LORD 03068 answered 06030 Job 0347 out of the whirlwind 05591, and said 0559,
2 Who is this that darkeneth 02821 counsel 06098 by words 04405 without knowledge 01847?

7 When the morning 01242 stars 03556 sang 07442 together 03162, and all the sons 01121 of God 0430 shouted 07321 for joy?
8 Or who shut up 05526 the sea 03220 with doors 01817, when it broke forth 01518, as if it had issued out 03318 of the womb 07358?
9 When I made 07760 a cloud 06051 its garment 03830, and thick darkness 06205 a swaddlingband 02854 for it,
10 And broke up 07665 for it my decreed 02706 place, and set 07760 bars 01280 and doors 01817, brake…: or, established my decree upon it
11 And said 0559, Thus far 05704, 6311 shalt thou come 0935, but no further 03254: and here shall thy proud 01347 waves 01530 be stayed 07896? thy…: Heb. the pride of thy waves
12 Hast thou commanded 06680 the morning 01242 since thy days 03117; and caused the dayspring 07837 to know 03045 its place 04725;
13 That it might take hold 0270 of the ends 03671 of earth 0776, that the wicked 07563 might be shaken out 05287 of it? ends: Heb. wings
14 It is turned 02015 as clay 02563 to the seal 02368; and they stand 03320 as a garment 03830.
15 And from the wicked 07563 their light 0216 is withheld 04513, and the high 07311 arm 02220 shall be broken 07665.
16 Hast thou entered 0935 into the springs 05033 of the sea 03220? or hast thou walked 01980 in the search 02714 of the depth 08415?
17 Have the gates 08179 of death 04194 been revealed 01540 to thee? or hast thou seen 07200 the doors 08179 of the shadow of death 06757?
18 Hast thou perceived 0995 the breadth 07338 of the earth 0776? declare 05046 if thou knowest 03045 it all.
19 Where is the way 01870 where light 0216 dwelleth 07931? and as for darkness 02822, where is its place 04725,
20 That thou shouldest take 03947 it to its bound 01366, and that thou shouldest know 0995 the paths 05410 to its house 01004? to the bound: or, at, etc
21 Knowest 03045 thou it, because thou wast then born 03205? or because the number 04557 of thy days 03117 is great 07227?
22 Hast thou entered 0935 into the treasuries 0214 of the snow 07950? or hast thou seen 07200 the treasuries 0214 of the hail 01259,
23 Which I have reserved 02820 against the time 06256 of trouble 06862, against the day 03117 of battle 07128 and war 04421?
24 By what 0335 way 01870 is the light 0216 parted 02505, which scattereth 06327 the east wind 06921 upon the earth 0776?
25 Who hath divided 06385 a watercourse 08585 for the overflowing of waters 07858, or a way 01870 for the lightning 02385 of thunder 06963;
26 To cause it to rain 04305 on the earth 0776, where no man 0376 is; on the wilderness 04057, in which there is no man 0120;
27 To satisfy 07646 the desolate 07722 and waste 04875 ground; and to cause the bud 04161 of the tender herb 01877 to spring forth 06779?
28 Hath 03426 the rain 04306 a father 01? or who hath begotten 03205 the drops 096 of the dew 02919?
29 Out of whose womb 0990 came 03318 the ice 07140? and the hoary frost 03713 of heaven 08064, who hath gendered 03205 it?

40 When they crouch 07817 in their dens 04585, and abide 03427 in the covert 05521 to 03926 lie in wait 0695?
41 Who provideth 03559 for the raven 06158 his food 06718? when his young ones 03206 cry 07768 to God 0410, they wander 08582 for want 01097 of food 0400.
1 Knowest 03045 thou the time 06256 when the wild goats 03277 of the rock 05553 bring forth 03205? or canst thou mark 08104 when the hinds 0355 do calve 02342?
2 Canst thou number 05608 the months 03391 that they fulfil 04390? or knowest 03045 thou the time 06256 when they bring forth 03205?
3 They bow 03766 themselves, they bring forth 06398 their young ones 03206, they cast out 07971 their sorrows 02256.

15 And forgetteth 07911 that the foot 07272 may crush 02115 them, or that the wild 07704 beast 02416 may break 01758 them.
16 She is hardened 07188 against her young ones 01121, as though they were not 03808 hers: her labour 03018 is in vain 07385 without fear 06343;
17 Because God 0433 hath withheld 05382 wisdom from her 02451, neither hath he imparted 02505 to her understanding 0998.
18 When 06256 she lifteth 04754 herself on high 04791, she scorneth 07832 the horse 05483 and his rider 07392.
19 Hast thou given 05414 the horse 05483 strength 01369? hast thou clothed 03847 his neck 06677 with thunder 07483?

23 The quiver 0827 rattleth 07439 against him, the glittering 03851 spear 02595 and the shield 03591.
24 He swalloweth 01572 the ground 0776 with fierceness 07494 and rage 07267: neither believeth 0539 he that it is the sound 06963 of the trumpet 07782.
25 He saith 0559 among 01767 the trumpets 07782, Ha 01889, ha 01889; and he smelleth 07306 the battle 04421 afar off 07350, the thunder 07482 of the captains 08269, and the shouting 08643.
26 Doth the hawk 05322 fly 082 by thy wisdom 0998, and stretch 06566 her wings 03671 toward the south 08486?

28 She dwelleth 07931 and abideth 03885 on the rock 05553, upon the crag 08127 of the rock 05553, and the strong place 04686.

30 Her young ones 0667 also suck up 05966 blood 01818: and where the slain 02491 are, there is she 01931.
1 Moreover the LORD 03068 answered 06030 Job 0347, and said 0559,
2 Shall he that contendeth 07378 with the Almighty 07706 instruct 03250 him? he that reproveth 03198 God 0433, let him answer 06030 it.
3 Then Job 0347 answered 06030 the LORD 03068, and said 0559,
4 Behold, I am vile 07043; what shall I answer 07725 thee? I will lay 07760 my hand 03027 upon 03926 my mouth 06310.
5 Once 0259 have I spoken 01696; but I will not answer 06030: yea, twice 08147; but I will proceed no further 03254.
6 Then the LORD 03068 answered 06030 Job 0347 out of the whirlwind 05591, and said 0559,
7 Gird up 0247 thy loins 02504 now like a man 01397: I will demand 07592 of thee, and declare 03045 thou to me.
8 Wilt thou also settest aside 06565 my judgment 04941? wilt thou condemn 07561 me, that thou mayest be righteous 06663?
9 Hast thou an arm 02220 like God 0410? or canst thou thunder 07481 with a voice 06963 like his?
10 Deck 05710 thyself now with majesty 01347 and excellency 01363; and array 03847 thyself with glory 01935 and beauty 01926.
11 Cast abroad 06327 the rage 05678 of thy wrath 0639: and behold 07200 every one that is proud 01343, and abase 08213 him.
12 Look 07200 on every one that is proud 01343, and bring him low 03665; and tread down 01915 the wicked 07563 in their place.
13 Hide 02934 them in the dust 06083 together 03162; bind 02280 their faces 06440 in secret 02934.
14 Then will I also confess 03034 to thee that thy own right hand 03225 can save 03467 thee.

16 Lo now, his strength 03581 is in his loins 04975, and his force 0202 is in the sinew 08306 of his belly 0990.
17 He moveth 02654 his tail 02180 like a cedar 0730: the sinews 01517 of his thighs 06344 are knit together 08276. He…: or, He setteth up
18 His bones 06106 are as strong 0650 pieces of brass 05154; his bones 01634 are like bars 04300 of iron 01270.
19 He is the chief 07225 of the ways 01870 of God 0410: he that made 06213 him can make 05066 his sword 02719 to approach 05066 him.
20 Surely the mountains 02022 bring him forth 05375 food 0944, where all the beasts 02416 of the field 07704 play 07832.
21 He lieth 07901 under the shady trees 06628, in the covert 05643 of the reed 07070, and fens 01207.
22 The shady trees 06628 cover 05526 him with their shadow 06752; the willows 06155 of the brook 05158 surround him 05437.
23 Behold, he drinketh up 06231 a river 05104, and hasteth 02648 not: he trusteth 0982 that he can draw up 01518 Jordan 03383 into his mouth 06310. he drinketh up: Heb. he oppresseth

4 Will he make 03772 a covenant 01285 with thee? wilt thou take 03947 him for a servant 05650 for ever 05769?
5 Wilt thou play 07832 with him as with a bird 06833? or wilt thou bind 07194 him for thy maidens 05291?
6 Shall the companions 02271 make a banquet 03739 of him? shall they part 02673 him among the merchants 03669?
7 Canst thou fill 04390 his skin 05785 with barbed irons 07905? or his head 07218 with fish 01709 spears 06767?
8 Lay 07760 thy hand 03709 upon him, remember 02142 the battle 04421, do no more 03254.
9 Behold, the hope 08431 of him is in vain 03576: shall not one be cast down 02904 even at the sight 04758 of him?
10 None is so fierce 0393 that he dare rouse him 05782: who then is able to stand 03320 before 06440 me?
11 Who hath given to 06923 me, that I should repay 07999 him? whatever is under the whole heaven 08064 is mine.
12 I will not conceal 02790 his parts 0907, nor his power 01369, 1697, nor his comely 02433 proportion 06187.
13 Who can uncover 01540 the face 06440 of his garment 03830? or who can come 0935 to him with his double 03718 bridle 07448? with: or, within

18 His sneezes 05846 flash 01984 light 0216, and his eyes 05869 are like the eyelids 06079 of the morning 07837.
19 Out of his mouth 06310 go 01980 burning lamps 03940, and sparks 03590 of fire 0784 dart forth 04422.
20 Out of his nostrils 05156 goeth 03318 smoke 06227, as out of a boiling 05301 pot 01731 or caldron 0100.
21 His breath 05315 kindleth 03857 coals 01513, and a flame 03851 goeth out 03318 of his mouth 06310.

24 His heart 03820 is as firm 03332 as a stone 068; yea, as hard 03332 as a piece 06400 of the lower 08482 millstone.
25 When he raiseth 07613 himself, the mighty 0352 are afraid 01481: by reason of the crashing 07667 they purify 02398 themselves.

27 He esteemeth 02803 iron 01270 as straw 08401, and brass 05154 as rotten 07539 wood 06086.
28 The arrow 01121, 7198 cannot make him flee 01272: slingstones 068, 7050 are turned 02015 with him into stubble 07179.
29 Darts 08455 are counted 02803 as stubble 07179: he laugheth 07832 at the shaking 07494 of a spear 03591.
30 Sharp 02303 stones 02789 are under him: he spreadeth 07502 sharp pointed things 02742 upon the mire 02916. Sharp stones: Heb. Sharp pieces of potsherd
31 He maketh the deep 04688 to boil 07570 like a pot 05518: he maketh 07760 the sea 03220 like a pot of ointment 04841.
32 He maketh a path 05410 to shine 0215 after 0310 him; one would think 02803 the deep 08415 to be hoary 07872.

34 He beholdeth 07200 all high 01364 things: he is a king 04428 over all the children 01121 of pride 07830.
1 Then Job 0347 answered 06030 the LORD 03068, and said 0559,
2 I know 03045 that thou canst do 03201 every thing, and that no thought 04209 can be withheld 01219 from thee. no thought can be…: or, no thought of thine can be hindered
3 Who is he that hideth 05956 counsel 06098 without knowledge 01847? therefore have I uttered 05046 that which I understood 0995 not; things too wonderful 06381 for me, which I knew 03045 not.
4 Hear 08085, I beseech thee, and I will speak 01696: I will ask 07592 of thee, and declare 03045 thou to me.
5 I have heard 08085 of thee by the hearing 08088 of the ear 0241: but now my eye 05869 seeth 07200 thee.
6 Therefore I abhor 03988 myself, and repent 05162 in dust 06083 and ashes 0665.
7 And it was so, that after 0310 the LORD 03068 had spoken 01696 these words 01697 to Job 0347, the LORD 03068 said 0559 to Eliphaz 0464 the Temanite 08489, My wrath 0639 is kindled 02734 against thee, and against thy two 08147 friends 07453: for ye have not spoken 01696 of me the thing that is right 03559, as my servant 05650 Job 0347 hath.
8 Therefore take 03947 to you now seven 07651 bulls 06499 and seven 07651 rams 0352, and go 03212 to my servant 05650 Job 0347, and offer 05927 for yourselves a burnt offering 05930; and my servant 05650 Job 0347 shall pray 06419 for you: for him 06440 will I accept 05375: lest I deal 06213 with you after your folly 05039, in that ye have not spoken 01696 of me the thing which is right 03559, like my servant 05650 Job 0347. him: Heb. his face, or, person
9 So Eliphaz 0464 the Temanite 08489 and Bildad 01085 the Shuhite 07747 and Zophar 06691 the Naamathite 05284 went 03212, and did 06213 according as the LORD 03068 commanded 01696 them: the LORD 03068 also accepted 05375 Job 06440, 347. Job: Heb. the face of Job
10 And the LORD 03068 turned 07725 the captivity 07622, 7622 of Job 0347, when he prayed 06419 for his friends 07453: also the LORD 03068 gave 03254 Job 0347 twice as much 04932 as he had before. gave…: Heb. added all that had been to Job unto the double
11 Then came 0935 there to him all his brethren 0251, and all his sisters 0269, and all they that had been of his acquaintance 03045 before 06440, and ate 0398 bread 03899 with him in his house 01004: and they mourned with 05110 him, and comforted 05162 him over all the evil 07451 that the LORD 03068 had brought 0935 upon him: every man 0376 also gave 05414 him a 0259 piece of money 07192, and every one 0376 an earring 05141 of gold 02091.
12 So the LORD 03068 blessed 01288 the latter end 0319 of Job 0347 more than his beginning 07225: for he had fourteen 0702, 6240 thousand 0505 sheep 06629, and six 08337 thousand 0505 camels 01581, and a thousand 0505 yoke 06776 of oxen 01241, and a thousand 0505 female donkeys 0860.
13 He had also seven 07658 sons 01121 and three 07969 daughters 01323.
14 And he called 07121 the name 08034 of the first 0259, Jemima 03224; and the name 08034 of the second 08145, Kezia 07103; and the name 08034 of the third 07992, Kerenhappuch 07163.
15 And in all the land 0776 were no women 0802 found 04672 so fair 03303 as the daughters 01323 of Job 0347: and their father 01 gave 05414 them inheritance 05159 among 08432 their brethren 0251.
16 After 0310 this Job 0347 lived 02421 an hundred 03967 and forty 0705 years 08141, and saw 07200 his sons 01121, and his sons 01121’ sons 01121, even four 0702 generations 01755.
17 So Job 0347 died 04191, being old 02205 and full 07649 of days 03117.
