{\MTB THE BOOK OF
\par }{\MT JOB

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}There
was
a
man
in
the
land
of
Uz,
whose
name
was
Job;
and
that
man
was
perfect
and
upright,
and
one
that
feared
God,
and
turned
away
from
evil.
\VS{2}And
there
were
born
unto
him
seven
sons
and
three
daughters.
\VS{3}His
substance
also
was
seven
thousand
sheep,
and
three
thousand
camels,
and
five
hundred
yoke
of
oxen,
and
five
hundred she-asses,
and
a
very
great
household;
so
that
this
man
was
the
greatest
of
all
the
children
of
the
east.
\VS{4}And
his
sons
went
and
held
a
feast
in
the
house
of
each
one
upon
his
day;
and
they
sent
and
called
for
their
three
sisters
to
eat
and
to
drink
with
them.
\VS{5}And
it
was
so,
when
the
days
of
their
feasting
were
gone
about,
that
Job
sent
and
sanctified
them,
and
rose
up
early
in
the
morning,
and
offered burnt-offerings
according
to
the
number
of
them
all:
for
Job
said,
It
may
be
that
my
sons
have
sinned,
and renounced
God
in
their
hearts.
Thus
did
Job
continually.
\par }{\PP \VS{6}Now
it
came
to
pass
on
the
day
when
the
sons
of
God
came
to
present
themselves
before
Jehovah,
that
Satan
also
came
among
them.
\VS{7}And
Jehovah
said
unto
Satan,
Whence
comest
thou?
Then
Satan
answered
Jehovah,
and
said,
From
going
to
and
fro
in
the
earth,
and
from
walking
up
and
down
in
it.
\VS{8}And
Jehovah
said
unto
Satan,
Hast
thou
considered
my
servant
Job?
for
there
is
none
like
him
in
the
earth,
a
perfect
and
an
upright
man,
one
that
feareth
God,
and
turneth
away
from
evil.
\VS{9}Then
Satan
answered
Jehovah,
and
said,
Doth
Job
fear
God
for
nought?
\VS{10}Hast
not
thou
made
a
hedge
about
him,
and
about
his
house,
and
about
all
that
he
hath,
on
every
side?
thou
hast
blessed
the
work
of
his
hands,
and
his
substance
is
increased
in
the
land.
\VS{11}But
put
forth
thy
hand
now,
and
touch
all
that
he
hath,
and
he
will renounce
thee
to
thy
face.
\VS{12}And
Jehovah
said
unto
Satan,
Behold,
all
that
he
hath
is
in
thy
power;
only
upon
himself
put
not
forth
thy
hand.
So
Satan
went
forth
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah.
\par }{\PP \VS{13}And
it
fell
on
a
day
when
his
sons
and
his
daughters
were
eating
and
drinking
wine
in
their
eldest
brother’s
house,
\VS{14}that
there
came
a
messenger
unto
Job,
and
said,
The
oxen
were
plowing,
and
the
asses
feeding
beside
them;
\VS{15}and
the
Sabeans
fell
{\ADD{
upon
them}},
and
took
them
away:
yea,
they
have
slain
the
servants
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
and
I
only
am
escaped
alone
to
tell
thee.
\VS{16}While
he
was
yet
speaking,
there
came
also
another,
and
said,
The
fire
of
God
is
fallen
from
heaven,
and
hath
burned
up
the
sheep
and
the
servants,
and
consumed
them;
and
I
only
am
escaped
alone
to
tell
thee.
\VS{17}While
he
was
yet
speaking,
there
came
also
another,
and
said,
The
Chaldeans
made
three
bands,
and
fell
upon
the
camels,
and
have
taken
them
away,
yea,
and
slain
the
servants
with
the
edge
of
the
sword;
and
I
only
am
escaped
alone
to
tell
thee.
\VS{18}While
he
was
yet
speaking,
there
came
also
another,
and
said,
Thy
sons
and
thy
daughters
were
eating
and
drinking
wine
in
their
eldest
brother’s
house;
\VS{19}and,
behold,
there
came
a
great
wind
from
the
wilderness,
and
smote
the
four
corners
of
the
house,
and
it
fell
upon
the
young
men,
and
they
are
dead;
and
I
only
am
escaped
alone
to
tell
thee.
\par }{\PP \VS{20}Then
Job
arose,
and
rent
his
robe,
and
shaved
his
head,
and
fell
down
upon
the
ground,
and
worshipped;
\VS{21}and
he
said,
Naked
came
I
out
of
my
mother’s
womb,
and
naked
shall
I
return
thither:
Jehovah
gave,
and
Jehovah
hath
taken
away;
blessed
be
the
name
of
Jehovah.
\VS{22}In
all
this
Job
sinned
not,
nor
charged
God
foolishly.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Again
it
came
to
pass
on
the
day
when
the
sons
of
God
came
to
present
themselves
before
Jehovah,
that
Satan
came
also
among
them
to
present
himself
before
Jehovah.
\VS{2}And
Jehovah
said
unto
Satan,
From
whence
comest
thou?
And
Satan
answered
Jehovah,
and
said,
From
going
to
and
fro
in
the
earth,
and
from
walking
up
and
down
in
it.
\VS{3}And
Jehovah
said
unto
Satan,
Hast
thou
considered
my
servant
Job?
for
there
is
none
like
him
in
the
earth,
a
perfect
and
an
upright
man,
one
that
feareth
God,
and
turneth
away
from
evil:
and
he
still
holdeth
fast
his
integrity,
although
thou
movedst
me
against
him,
to
destroy
him
without
cause.
\VS{4}And
Satan
answered
Jehovah,
and
said,
Skin
for
skin,
yea,
all
that
a
man
hath
will
he
give
for
his
life.
\VS{5}But
put
forth
thy
hand
now,
and
touch
his
bone
and
his
flesh,
and
he
will renounce
thee
to
thy
face.
\VS{6}And
Jehovah
said
unto
Satan,
Behold,
he
is
in
thy
hand;
only
spare
his
life.
\par }{\PP \VS{7}So
Satan
went
forth
from
the
presence
of
Jehovah,
and
smote
Job
with
sore
boils
from
the
sole
of
his
foot
unto
his
crown.
\VS{8}And
he
took
him
a
potsherd
to
scrape
himself
therewith;
and
he
sat
among
the
ashes.
\VS{9}Then
said
his
wife
unto
him,
Dost
thou
still
hold
fast
thine
integrity? renounce
God,
and
die.
\VS{10}But
he
said
unto
her,
Thou
speakest
as
one
of
the
foolish
women
speaketh.
What?
shall
we
receive
good
at
the
hand
of
God,
and
shall
we
not
receive
evil?
In
all
this
did
not
Job
sin
with
his
lips.
\par }{\PP \VS{11}Now
when
Job’s
three
friends
heard
of
all
this
evil
that
was
come
upon
him,
they
came
every
one
from
his
own
place:
Eliphaz
the
Temanite,
and
Bildad
the
Shuhite,
and
Zophar
the
Naamathite;
and
they
made
an
appointment
together
to
come
to
bemoan
him
and
to
comfort
him.
\VS{12}And
when
they
lifted
up
their
eyes
afar
off,
and
knew
him
not,
they
lifted
up
their
voice,
and
wept;
and
they
rent
every
one
his
robe,
and
sprinkled
dust
upon
their
heads
toward
heaven.
\VS{13}So
they
sat
down
with
him
upon
the
ground
seven
days
and
seven
nights,
and
none
spake
a
word
unto
him:
for
they
saw
that
his
grief
was
very
great.
\par }{\BB \par }
\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After
this
opened
Job
his
mouth,
and
cursed
his
day.
\par }{\Q \VS{2}And
Job
answered
and
said:
\par }{\Q \VS{3}Let
the
day
perish
wherein
I
was
born,
\par }{\Q And
the
night
which
said,
There
is
a man-child
conceived.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}Let
that
day
be
darkness;
\par }{\Q Let
not
God
from
above
seek
for
it,
\par }{\Q Neither
let
the
light
shine
upon
it.
\par }{\Q \VS{5}Let
darkness
and
the
shadow
of
death
claim
it
for
their
own;
\par }{\Q Let
a
cloud
dwell
upon
it;
\par }{\Q Let
all
that
maketh
black
the
day
terrify
it.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}As
for
that
night,
let
thick
darkness
seize
upon
it:
\par }{\Q Let
it
not
rejoice
among
the
days
of
the
year;
\par }{\Q Let
it
not
come
into
the
number
of
the
months.
\par }{\Q \VS{7}Lo,
let
that
night
be
barren;
\par }{\Q Let
no
joyful
voice
come
therein.
\par }{\Q \VS{8}Let
them
curse
it
that
curse
the
day,
\par }{\Q Who
are
ready
to
rouse
up
leviathan.
\par }{\Q \VS{9}Let
the
stars
of
the
twilight
thereof
be
dark:
\par }{\Q Let
it
look
for
light,
but
have
none;
\par }{\Q Neither
let
it
behold
the
eyelids
of
the
morning:
\par }{\Q \VS{10}Because
it
shut
not
up
the
doors
of
my
{\ADD{
mother’s}}
womb,
\par }{\Q Nor
hid
trouble
from
mine
eyes.
\par }{\Q \VS{11}Why
died
I
not
from
the
womb?
\par }{\Q Why
did
I
not
give
up
the
ghost
when
my
mother
bare
me?
\par }{\Q \VS{12}Why
did
the
knees
receive
me?
\par }{\Q Or
why
the
breasts,
that
I
should
suck?
\par }{\Q \VS{13}For
now
should
I
have
lain
down
and
been
quiet;
\par }{\Q I
should
have
slept;
then
had
I
been
at
rest,
\par }{\Q \VS{14}With
kings
and
counsellors
of
the
earth,
\par }{\Q Who
built
up
waste
places
for
themselves;
\par }{\Q \VS{15}Or
with
princes
that
had
gold,
\par }{\Q Who
filled
their
houses
with
silver:
\par }{\Q \VS{16}Or
as
a
hidden
untimely
birth
I
had
not
been,
\par }{\Q As
infants
that
never
saw
light.
\par }{\Q \VS{17}There
the
wicked
cease
from
troubling;
\par }{\Q And
there
the
weary
are
at
rest.
\par }{\Q \VS{18}There
the
prisoners
are
at
ease
together;
\par }{\Q They
hear
not
the
voice
of
the
taskmaster.
\par }{\Q \VS{19}The
small
and
the
great
are
there:
\par }{\Q And
the
servant
is
free
from
his
master.
\par }{\BB \par }{\Q \VS{20}Wherefore
is
light
given
to
him
that
is
in
misery,
\par }{\Q And
life
unto
the
bitter
in
soul;
\par }{\Q \VS{21}Who
long
for
death,
but
it
cometh
not,
\par }{\Q And
dig
for
it
more
than
for
hid
treasures;
\par }{\Q \VS{22}Who
rejoice
exceedingly,
\par }{\Q And
are
glad,
when
they
can
find
the
grave?
\par }{\Q \VS{23}{\ADD{
Why
is
light
given}}
to
a
man
whose
way
is
hid,
\par }{\Q And
whom
God
hath
hedged
in?
\par }{\Q \VS{24}For
my
sighing
cometh
before
I
eat,
\par }{\Q And
my
groanings
are
poured
out
like
water.
\par }{\Q \VS{25}For
the
thing
which
I
fear
cometh
upon
me,
\par }{\Q And
that
which
I
am
afraid
of
cometh
unto
me.
\par }{\Q \VS{26}I
am
not
at
ease,
neither
am
I
quiet,
neither
have
I
rest;
\par }{\Q But
trouble
cometh.
\par }{\BB \par }
\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
answered
Eliphaz
the
Temanite,
and
said,
\par }{\Q \VS{2}If
one
assay
to
commune
with
thee,
wilt
thou
be
grieved?
\par }{\Q But
who
can
withhold
himself
from
speaking?
\par }{\Q \VS{3}Behold,
thou
hast
instructed
many,
\par }{\Q And
thou
hast
strengthened
the
weak
hands.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}Thy
words
have
upholden
him
that
was
falling,
\par }{\Q And
thou
hast
made
firm
the
feeble
knees.
\par }{\Q \VS{5}But
now
it
is
come
unto
thee,
and
thou
faintest;
\par }{\Q It
toucheth
thee,
and
thou
art
troubled.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}Is
not
thy
fear
{\ADD{
of
God}}
thy
confidence,
\par }{\Q {\ADD{
And}}
the
integrity
of
thy
ways
thy
hope?
\par }{\Q \VS{7}Remember,
I
pray
thee,
who
{\ADD{
ever}}
perished,
being
innocent?
\par }{\Q Or
where
were
the
upright
cut
off?
\par }{\Q \VS{8}According
as
I
have
seen,
they
that
plow
iniquity,
\par }{\Q And
sow
trouble,
reap
the
same.
\par }{\Q \VS{9}By
the
breath
of
God
they
perish,
\par }{\Q And
by
the
blast
of
his
anger
are
they
consumed.
\par }{\Q \VS{10}The
roaring
of
the
lion,
and
the
voice
of
the
fierce
lion,
\par }{\Q And
the
teeth
of
the
young
lions,
are
broken.
\par }{\Q \VS{11}The
old
lion
perisheth
for
lack
of
prey,
\par }{\Q And
the
whelps
of
the
lioness
are
scattered
abroad.
\par }{\BB \par }{\QB \VS{12}Now
a
thing
was
secretly
brought
to
me,
\par }{\Q And
mine
ear
received
a
whisper
thereof.
\par }{\Q \VS{13}In
thoughts
from
the
visions
of
the
night,
\par }{\Q When
deep
sleep
falleth
on
men,
\par }{\Q \VS{14}Fear
came
upon
me,
and
trembling,
\par }{\Q Which
made
all
my
bones
to
shake.
\par }{\Q \VS{15}Then
a
spirit
passed
before
my
face;
\par }{\Q The
hair
of
my
flesh
stood
up.
\par }{\Q \VS{16}It
stood
still,
but
I
could
not
discern
the
appearance
thereof;
\par }{\Q A
form
was
before
mine
eyes:
\par }{\Q {\ADD{
There
was}}
silence,
and
I
heard
a
voice,
{\ADD{
saying}},
\par }{\Q \VS{17}Shall
mortal
man
be
more
just
than
God?
\par }{\Q Shall
a
man
be
more
pure
than
his
Maker?
\par }{\Q \VS{18}Behold,
he
putteth
no
trust
in
his
servants;
\par }{\Q And
his
angels
he chargeth
with
folly:
\par }{\Q \VS{19}How
much
more
them
that
dwell
in
houses
of
clay,
\par }{\Q Whose
foundation
is
in
the
dust,
\par }{\Q Who
are
crushed
before
the
moth!
\par }{\Q \VS{20}Betwixt
morning
and
evening
they
are
destroyed:
\par }{\Q They
perish
for
ever
without
any
regarding
it.
\par }{\Q \VS{21}Is
not
their
tent-cord
plucked
up
within
them?
\par }{\Q They
die,
and
that
without
wisdom.
\par }{\BB \par }
\PoetryChap{5}{\QB \VerseOne{1}Call
now;
is
there
any
that
will
answer
thee?
\par }{\Q And
to
which
of
the
holy
ones
wilt
thou
turn?
\par }{\Q \VS{2}For
vexation
killeth
the
foolish
man,
\par }{\Q And
jealousy
slayeth
the
silly
one.
\par }{\Q \VS{3}I
have
seen
the
foolish
taking
root:
\par }{\Q But
suddenly
I
cursed
his
habitation.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}His
children
are
far
from
safety,

they
are
crushed
in
the
gate,

harvest
the
hungry
eateth
up,
\par }{\Q And
taketh
it
even
out
of
the
thorns;
\par }{\Q And
the
snare gapeth
for
their
substance.
\par }{\Q \VS{6}For
affliction
cometh
not
forth
from
the
dust,
\par }{\Q Neither
doth
trouble
spring
out
of
the
ground;

man
is
born
unto
trouble,
\par }{\Q As
the
sparks
fly
upward.
\par }{\BB \par }{\Q \VS{8}But
as
for
me,
I
would
seek
unto
God,
\par }{\Q And
unto
God
would
I
commit
my
cause;
\par }{\Q \VS{9}Who
doeth
great
things
and
unsearchable,
\par }{\Q Marvellous
things
without
number:
\par }{\Q \VS{10}Who
giveth
rain
upon
the
earth,
\par }{\Q And
sendeth
waters
upon
the
fields;
\par }{\Q \VS{11}So
that
he
setteth
up
on
high
those
that
are
low,
\par }{\Q And
those
that
mourn
are
exalted
to
safety.
\par }{\Q \VS{12}He
frustrateth
the
devices
of
the
crafty,
\par }{\Q So
that
their
hands
cannot
perform
their
enterprise.
\par }{\Q \VS{13}He
taketh
the
wise
in
their
own
craftiness;
\par }{\Q And
the
counsel
of
the
cunning
is
carried
headlong.
\par }{\Q \VS{14}They
meet
with
darkness
in
the day-time,
\par }{\Q And
grope
at
noonday
as
in
the
night.

he
saveth
from
the
sword
of
their
mouth,
\par }{\Q Even
the
needy
from
the
hand
of
the
mighty.
\par }{\Q \VS{16}So
the
poor
hath
hope,
\par }{\Q And
iniquity
stoppeth
her
mouth.
\par }{\BB \par }{\QB \VS{17}Behold,
happy
is
the
man
whom
God
correcteth:

despise
not
thou
the
chastening
of
the
Almighty.

he
maketh
sore,
and
bindeth
up;

woundeth,

hands
make
whole.

will
deliver
thee
in
six
troubles;

in
seven
there
shall
no
evil
touch
thee.

famine
he
will
redeem
thee
from
death;

in
war
from
the
power
of
the
sword.
\par }{\Q \VS{21}Thou shalt
be
hid
from
the
scourge
of
the
tongue;

thou
be
afraid
of
destruction
when
it
cometh.

destruction
and
dearth
thou shalt
laugh;

be
afraid

do
wickedness,

striketh
them

\par }{\Q Things
too
wonderful
for
me,
which
I
knew
not.
\par }{\Q \VS{4}Hear,
I
beseech
thee,
and
I
will
speak;
\par }{\Q I
will
demand
of
thee,
and
declare
thou
unto
me.
\par }{\Q \VS{5}I
had
heard
of
thee
by
the
hearing
of
the
ear;
\par }{\Q But
now
mine
eye
seeth
thee:
\par }{\Q \VS{6}Wherefore
I
abhor
{\ADD{
myself}},
\par }{\Q And
repent
in
dust
and
ashes.
\par }{\BB \par }{\PP \VS{7}And
it
was
so,
that,
after
Jehovah
had
spoken
these
words
unto
Job,
Jehovah
said
to
Eliphaz
the
Temanite,
My
wrath
is
kindled
against
thee,
and
against
thy
two
friends;
for
ye
have
not
spoken
of
me
the
thing
that
is
right,
as
my
servant
Job
hath.
\VS{8}Now
therefore,
take
unto
you
seven
bullocks
and
seven
rams,
and
go
to
my
servant
Job,
and
offer
up
for
yourselves
a burnt-offering;
and
my
servant
Job
shall
pray
for
you;
for
him
will
I
accept,
that
I
deal
not
with
you
after
your
folly;
for
ye
have
not
spoken
of
me
the
thing
that
is
right,
as
my
servant
Job
hath.
\VS{9}So
Eliphaz
the
Temanite
and
Bildad
the
Shuhite
and
Zophar
the
Naamathite
went,
and
did
according
as
Jehovah
commanded
them:
and
Jehovah
accepted
Job.
\par }{\PP \VS{10}And
Jehovah
turned
the
captivity
of
Job,
when
he
prayed
for
his
friends:
and
Jehovah
gave
Job
twice
as
much
as
he
had
before.
\VS{11}Then
came
there
unto
him
all
his
brethren,
and
all
his
sisters,
and
all
they
that
had
been
of
his
acquaintance
before,
and
did
eat
bread
with
him
in
his
house:
and
they
bemoaned
him,
and
comforted
him
concerning
all
the
evil
that
Jehovah
had
brought
upon
him:
every
man
also
gave
him
a
piece
of
money,
and
every
one
a
ring
of
gold.
\VS{12}So
Jehovah
blessed
the
latter
end
of
Job
more
than
his
beginning:
and
he
had
fourteen
thousand
sheep,
and
six
thousand
camels,
and
a
thousand
yoke
of
oxen,
and
a
thousand she-asses.
\VS{13}He
had
also
seven
sons
and
three
daughters.
\VS{14}And
he
called
the
name
of
the
first,
Jemimah;
and
the
name
of
the
second,
Keziah;
and
the
name
of
the
third,
Keren-happuch.
\VS{15}And
in
all
the
land
were
no
women
found
so
fair
as
the
daughters
of
Job:
and
their
father
gave
them
inheritance
among
their
brethren.
\VS{16}And
after
this
Job
lived
a
hundred
and
forty
years,
and
saw
his
sons,
and
his
sons’
sons,
{\ADD{
even}}
four
generations.
\VS{17}So
Job
died,
being
old
and
full
of
days.
