\par }{\MT Job

\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}There
was
a
man
in
the
land
of Hus,
whose
name
was
Job,
and
that
man
was simple
and
upright,
and fearing
God,
and avoiding
evil.
\VS{2}And there
were
born
to
him
seven
sons
and
three
daughters.
\VS{3}And
his possession
was
seven
thousand
sheep,
and
three
thousand
camels,
and
five
hundred
yoke
of
oxen,
and
five
hundred
she asses,
and
a
family
exceeding
great:
and
this
man
was
great
among
all
the
people
of
the
east.
\VS{4}And
his
sons
went,
and
made
a
feast
by
houses
every
one
in
his
day.
And
sending
they
called
their
three
sisters
to
eat
and
drink
with
them.
\VS{5}And
when
the
days
of
their
feasting
were
gone
about,
Job
sent
to
them,
and
sanctified
them:
and
rising
up
early
offered holocausts
for
every
one
of
them.
For
he
said: Lest
perhaps
my
sons
have
sinned,
and
have
blessed
God
in
their
hearts.
So
did
Job
all
days.
\VS{6}Now
on
a certain
day
when
the
sons
of
God
came
to
stand
before
the
Lord,
Satan
also
was
present
among
them.
\VS{7}And
the
Lord
said
to
him: Whence comest thou?
And
he
answered
and
said:
I
have
gone round
about
the
earth,
and
walked
through
it.
\VS{8}And
the
Lord
said
to
him: Hast thou considered
my
servant
Job,
that
there
is
none
like
him
in
the
earth,
a simple
and
upright
man,
and fearing
God,
and avoiding
evil?
\VS{9}And
Satan answering,
said: Doth
Job
fear
God
in
vain?
\VS{10}Hast
not thou
made
a fence
for
him,
and
his
house,
and
all
his substance
round
about,
blessed
the
works
of
his
hands,
and
his
possession hath
increased
on
the
earth?
\VS{11}But
stretch
forth thy
hand
a little,
and
touch
all
that
he hath,
and
see
if
he blesseth thee
not
to thy
face.
\VS{12}Then
the
Lord
said
to
Satan:
Behold,
all
that
he hath
is
in thy
hand:
only
put
not
forth thy
hand
upon
his
person.
And
Satan
went
forth
from
the
presence
of
the
Lord.
\VS{13}Now
upon
a certain
day
when
his
sons
and
daughters
were
eating
and
drinking
wine
in
the
house
of
their eldest
brother,
\VS{14}There
came
a
messenger
to
Job,
and
said:
The
oxen
were ploughing,
and
the asses feeding
beside
them,
\VS{15}And
the
Sabeans rushed
in,
and
took
all
away,
and
slew
the
servants
with
the
sword,
and
I
alone
have
escaped
to
tell thee.
\VS{16}And
while
he
was
yet
speaking,
another
came,
and
said:
The
fire
of
God
fell
from
heaven,
and striking
the
sheep
and
the
servants, hath
consumed
them,
and
I
alone
have
escaped
to
tell thee.
\VS{17}And
while
he
also
was
yet
speaking,
there
came
another,
and
said:
The
Chaldeans
made
three troops,
and
have
fallen
upon
the
camels,
and
taken
them,
moreover
they
have
slain
the
servants
with
the
sword,
and
I
alone
have
escaped
to
tell thee.
\VS{18}He
was
yet
speaking,
and behold
another
came
in,
and
said: Thy
sons
and
daughters
were
eating
and
drinking
wine
in
the
house
of
their elder
brother:
\VS{19}A violent
wind
came
on
a sudden
from
the
side
of
the
desert,
and shook
the
four
corners
of
the
house,
and
it
fell
upon thy
children
and
they
are
dead,
and
I
alone
have
escaped
to
fell thee.
\VS{20}Then
Job
rose
up,
and rent
his garments,
and having shaven
his
head
fell
down
upon
the
ground
and worshipped,
\VS{21}And
said:
Naked
came
I
out
of
my
mother’s
womb,
and
naked
shall
I
return thither:
the
Lord
gave,
and
the
Lord hath
taken
away:
as
it hath pleased
the
Lord
so
is
it
done:
blessed
be
the
name
of
the
Lord.
\VS{22}In
all
these
things
Job
sinned
not
by
his lips,
nor spoke
he
any foolish
thing
against
God.

\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And
it
came
to
pass,
when
on
a certain
day
the
sons
of
God
came,
and
stood
before
the
Lord,
and
Satan
came
among
them,
and
stood
in
his sight,
\VS{2}That
the
Lord
said
to
Satan: Whence comest thou?
And
he
answered
and
said:
I
have
gone round
about
the
earth,
and
walked
through
it.
\VS{3}And
the
Lord
said
to
Satan: Hast thou considered
my
servant
Job,
that
there
is
none
like
him
in
the
earth,
a
man simple,
and
upright,
and fearing
God,
and avoiding
evil,
and
still keeping
his innocence?
But thou hast
moved
me
against
him,
that
I
should afflict
him
without
cause.
\VS{4}And
Satan
answered,
and
said:
Skin
for
skin,
and
all
that
a
man hath
he
will
give
for
his
life:
\VS{5}But
put
forth thy
hand,
and
touch
his
bone
and
his
flesh,
and
then thou shalt gee
that
he
will
bless thee
to thy
face.
\VS{6}And
the
Lord
said
to
Satan:
Behold
be
is
in thy
hand,
but
yet
save
his
life.
\VS{7}So
Satan
went
forth
from
the
presence
Of
the
Lord,
and
struck
Job
with
a
very grievous
ulcer,
from
the
sole
of
the
foot
even
to
the top
of
his
head:
\VS{8}And
he
took
a
potsherd
and scraped
the corrupt matter,
sitting
on
a dunghill.
\VS{9}And
his
wife
said
to
him: Dost thou
still
continue
in thy simplicity?
bless
God
and
die.
\VS{10}And
he
said
to
her: Thou hast;
spoken
like
one
of
the
foolish
women:
if
we
have
received
good
things
at
the hand
of
God,
why
should
we
not
receive
evil?
In
all
these
things
Job
did
not
sin
with
his
lips.
\VS{11}Now
when
Job’s
three
friends
heard
all
the
evil
that
had befallen
him,
they
came
every
one
from
his
own
place, Alphas
the Themanite,
and Baldad
the Suhite,
and Sophar
the
Naamathite.
For
they
had
made
an
appointment
to
come
together
and
visit
him,
and
comfort
him.
\VS{12}And
when
they
had
lifted
up
their
eyes
afar
off,
they knew
him
not,
and
crying
out
they
wept,
and rending
their garments
they
sprinkled
dust
upon
their
heads towards
heaven.
\VS{13}And
they
sat
with
him
on
the
ground
seven
days
and
seven
nights,
and
no
man
spoke
to
him
a
word:
for
they
saw
that
his
grief
was
very
great.

\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After
this
Job
opened
his
mouth,
and
cursed
his
day,
\VS{2}And
he
said:
\VS{3}Let
the
day
perish wherein
I
was
born,
and
the
night
in which
it
was
said:
A
man
child
is conceived.
\VS{4}Let
that
day
be
turned
into
darkness,
let
not
God
regard
it
from
above,
and
let
not
the
light
shine
upon
it.
\VS{5}Let
darkness,
and
the
shadow
of
death cover
it,
let
a mist overspread
it,
and
let
it
be wrapped
up
in bitterness.
\VS{6}Let
a darksome whirlwind
seize
upon
that
night,
let
it
not
be
counted
in
the
days
of
the
year,
nor
numbered
in
the
months.
\VS{7}Let
that
night
be solitary,
and
not worthy
of praise.
\VS{8}Let
them
curse it who
curse
the
day. who
are
ready
to
raise
up
a
leviathan:
\VS{9}Let
the
stars
be
darkened
with
the mist thereof:
let
it expect
light
and
not
see
it,
nor
the rising
of
the
dawning
of
the
day:
\VS{10}Because
it
shut
not
up
the
doors
of
the
womb
that bore
me,
nor took away evils
from
my
eyes.
\VS{11}Why
did
I
not
die
in
the
womb,
why
did
I
not
perish
when
I
came
out
of
the
belly?
\VS{12}Why received upon
the
knees?
why suckled at
the
breasts?
\VS{13}For
now
I
should
have
been
asleep
and
still,
and
should
have
rest
in
my
sleep.
\VS{14}With
kings
and consuls
of
the
earth,
who
build
themselves solitudes:
\VS{15}Or
with
princes,
that possess
gold,
and All
their
houses
with
silver:
\VS{16}Or
as
a
hidden untimely
birth
I should
not
be,
or
as
they
that
being conceived
have
not
seen
the
light.
\VS{17}There
the
wicked
cease
from tumult,
and
there
the wearied
in
strength
are
at
rest.
\VS{18}And
they sometime
bound
together
without disquiet,
have
not
heard
the
voice
of
the
oppressor.
\VS{19}The
small
and
great
are
there,
and
the
servant
is
free
from
his
master.
\VS{20}Why
is
light
given
to
him
that
is
in misery,
and
life
to
them
that
are
in
bitterness
of
soul?
\VS{21}That
look
for
death,
and
it cometh
not, as
they
that
dig
for
a
treasure:
\VS{22}And
they
rejoice exceedingly
when
they
have
found
the
grave.
\VS{23}To
a
man
whose
way
is
hidden,
and
God hath surrounded
him
with darkness?
\VS{24}Before
I eat
I sigh:
and
as overflowing
waters,
so
is
my
roaring:
\VS{25}For
the
fear
which
I
feared hath
come
upon
me:
and
that
which
I
was
afraid
of, hath befallen
me.
\VS{26}Have
I
not dissembled?
have
I
not kept silence?
have
I
not
been
quiet?
and indignation
is
come
upon
me.

\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Eliphaz
the Themanite
answered,
and
said:
\VS{2}If
we begin
to
speak
to thee,
perhaps thou wilt take it ill,
but
who
can withhold
the
words
he hath conceived?
\VS{3}Behold thou hast
taught
many,
and thou hast
strengthened
the weary
hands:
\VS{4}Thy
words
have
confirmed them
that
were staggering,
and thou hast
strengthened
the trembling
knees:
\VS{5}But
now
the scourge
is
come
upon thee,
and thou faintest:
it hath
touched thee,
and thou art troubled.
\VS{6}Where
is thy
fear, thy fortitude, thy patience,
and
the perfection
of thy
ways?
\VS{7}Remember,
I
pray thee,
who
ever
perished
being
innocent?
or
when were
the
just
destroyed?
\VS{8}On
the contrary
I
have
seen
those
who
work
iniquity,
and
sow sorrows,
and
reap
them,
\VS{9}Perishing
by
the
blast
of
God,
and
consumed
by
the
spirit
of
his
wrath.
\VS{10}The
roaring
of
the
lion,
and
the
voice
of
the lioness,
and
the
teeth
of
the whelps
of
lions
are
broken:
\VS{11}The tiger hath
perished
for
want
of
prey,
and
the
young lions
are
scattered abroad.
\VS{12}Now there
was
a
word
spoken
to
me
in private,
and
my
ears
by
stealth
as
it
were
received
the veins
of
its
whisper.
\VS{13}In
the horror
of
a
vision
by
night,
when
deep
sleep
is wont
to hold
men,
\VS{14}Fear seized upon me,
and
trembling,
and
all
my
bones
were affrighted:
\VS{15}And
when
a
spirit
passed
before
me,
the
hair
of
my
flesh stood
up.
\VS{16}There
stood
one whose countenance
I knew
not,
an image
before
my
eyes,
and
I
heard
the
voice
as
it
were
of
a gentle wind:
\VS{17}Shall
man
be
justified
in comparison
of
God,
or
shall
a
man
be more
pure
than
his maker?
\VS{18}Behold
they
that
serve
him
are
not steadfast,
and
in
his
angels
he found wickedness:
\VS{19}How
much
more
shall
they
that
dwell
in
houses
of clay,
who
have
an earthly
foundation,
be consumed
as
with
the
moth?
\VS{20}From
morning till
evening
they shall
be cut
down:
and
because
no
one understandeth,
they shall
perish
for
ever.
\VS{21}And
they
that
shall
be
left,
shall
be taken away
from
them:
they
shall
die,
and
not
in
wisdom.

\par }\Chap{5}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Call
now if
there
be
any
that
will
answer thee,
and
turn
to some
of
the
saints.
\VS{2}Anger
indeed killeth
the
foolish,
and
envy slayeth
the little
one.
\VS{3}I
have
seen
a
fool
with
a strong
root,
and
I cursed
his beauty
immediately.
\VS{4}His
children
shall
be
far
from
safety,
and
shall
be
destroyed
in
the
gate,
and
there
shall
be
none
to
deliver
them.
\VS{5}Whose
harvest
the
hungry
shall
eat,
and
the armed man
shall
take
him
by violence,
and
the thirsty
shall drink
up
his
riches.
\VS{6}Nothing upon
earth
is done
without
a voice cause,
and
sorrow doth
not
spring
out
of
the
ground.
\VS{7}Man
is
born
to labour
and
the bird
to
fly.
\VS{8}Wherefore
I
will pray
to
the Lord,
and address
my speech
to
God:
\VS{9}Who doth
great
things
and unsearchable
and
wonderful
things
without
number:
\VS{10}Who giveth
rain
upon
the
face
of
the
earth,
and watereth all things
with
waters:
\VS{11}Who setteth
up
the
humble
on
high,
and comforteth
with health those
that
mourn.
\VS{12}Who bringeth
to nought
the
designs
of
the malignant,
so
that
their
hands
cannot
accomplish
what
they
had begun:
\VS{13}Who catcheth
the
wise
in their craftiness,
and disappointeth
the
counsel
of
the wicked:
\VS{14}They shall
meet
with
darkness
in
the
day,
and
grope
at noonday as
in
the
night.
\VS{15}But
he
shall
save
the
needy
from
the
sword
of their
mouth,
and
the
poor
from
the
hand
of
the violent.
\VS{16}And
to
the needy
there
shall
he
hope,
but
iniquity
shall draw
in
her
mouth.
\VS{17}Blessed
is
the mall
whom
God correcteth: refuse
not therefore
the chastising
of
the lord:
\VS{18}For
he woundeth,
and cureth:
he striketh,
and
his
hands
shall
heal.
\VS{19}In
six troubles
he
shall
deliver thee,
and
in
the
seventh,
evil
shall
not
touch thee.
\VS{20}In
famine
he
shall
deliver thee
from
death:
and
in
battle,
from
the
hand
of
the
sword.
\VS{21}Thou shalt
he
hidden
from
the
scourge
of
the
tongue:
and thou shalt
not
fear calamity
when
it cometh.
\VS{22}In
destruction
and
famine
then shalt
laugh:
and thou shalt
not
be
afraid
of
the
beasts
of
the
earth.
\VS{23}But thou shalt
have
a
covenant
with
the
stones
of
the
lands,
and
the
beasts
of
the earth
shall
be
at pence
with thee.
\VS{24}And thou shalt
know
that thy
tabernacle
is
in
peace,
and
visiting thy beauty thou shalt
not
sin.
\VS{25}Thou shalt
know
also
that thy
seed
shall
be multiplied,
and thy
offspring
like
the
grass
of
the
earth.
\VS{26}Thou shalt
enter
into
the
grave
in abundance,
as
a heap
of wheat
is
brought
in
its
season.
\VS{27}Behold,
this
is
even
so,
as
we
have
searched
out:
which thou having
heard,
consider
it thoroughly
in thy
mind.

\par }\Chap{6}{\PP \VerseOne{1}But
Job
answered,
and
said:
\VS{2}O
that
my
sins, whereby I
have deserved wrath,
and
the calamity
that I
suffer, were
weighed
in
a
balance.
\VS{3}As
the
sand
of
the
sea
this
would appear
heavier:
therefore
my
words
are full
of
sorrow:
\VS{4}For
the
arrows
of
the Lord
are
in
me,
the
rage whereof drinketh
up
my
spirit,
and
the
terrors
of
the Lord war against
me.
\VS{5}Will
the
wild ass
bray
when
he hath
grass?
or
will
the
ox
low
when
he standeth
before
a full manger?
\VS{6}Or
can
an unsavoury thing be
eaten,
that
is
not seasoned
with
salt?
or
can
a man
taste
that which
when tasted bringeth death?
\VS{7}The
things
which before
my
soul
would
not
touch, now, through anguish
are
my meats.
\VS{8}Who
will
grant
that
my
request
may
come:
and
that
God
may
give
me
what
I look
for?
\VS{9}And
that
he
that hath begun may destroy
me,
that
he may let loose
his
hand,
and
cut
me
off?
\VS{10}And
that
this
may
be
my
comfort,
that afflicting
me
with sorrow,
he
spare
not,
nor
I contradict
the
words
of
the
Holy
One.
\VS{11}For
what
is
my
strength,
that
I
can hold
out?
or
what
is
my
end
that
I
should keep patience?
\VS{12}My
strength
is
not
the
strength
of
stones,
nor
is
my
flesh
of brass.
\VS{13}Behold
there
is
no
help
for
me
in myself,
and
my familiar friends
also
are departed
from
me.
\VS{14}He that taketh away mercy from
his
friend, forsaketh
the
fear
of
the
Lord.
\VS{15}My
brethren
have
passed
by
me,
as
the torrent
that passeth swiftly
in
the
valleys.
\VS{16}They
that fear
the hoary
frost,
the
snow shall fall
upon
them.
\VS{17}At
the
time
when
they shall
be scattered
they shall perish:
and after
it groweth
hot
they shall
be melted
out
of
their
place.
\VS{18}The
paths
of
their steps
are entangled:
they shall
walk
in vain,
and shall
perish.
\VS{19}Consider
the
paths
of Thema,
the
ways
of Saba,
and
wait a little while.
\VS{20}They are
confounded,
because
I
have hoped:
they are
come
also
even unto
me,
and are
covered
with
shame.
\VS{21}Now
you
are
come:
and
now
seeing
my affliction
you
are
afraid.

to
fine
gold:
My
confidence:
\VS{25}If
I
have
rejoiced
over
my
great
riches,
and
because
my
hand
had gotten
much.
\VS{26}If
I beheld
the
sun
when
it shined,
and
the
moon
going
in brightness:
\VS{27}And
my
heart
in secret hath rejoiced,
and
I
have
kissed
my
hand
with
my
mouth:
\VS{28}Which
is
a
very great
iniquity,
and
a denial
against
the most
high
God.
\VS{29}If
I
have been
glad
at
the downfall
of
him
that
hated
me,
and
have
rejoiced
that
evil
had
found
him.
\VS{30}For
I
have
not
given
my
mouth
to
sin,
by wishing
a
curse
to
his
soul.
\VS{31}If
the
men
of
my
tabernacle
have
not
said:
Who
will
give
us
of
his
flesh
that
we
may
be
filled?
\VS{32}The
stranger
did
not
stay
without,
my
door
was
open
to
the traveller.
\VS{33}If as
a man
I
have
hid
my
sin,
and
have
concealed
my
iniquity
in
my
bosom.
\VS{34}If
I
have
been afraid
at
a
very
great
multitude,
and
the
contempt
of kinsmen hath
terrified
me:
and
I
have
not
rather held
my peace,
and
not
gone
out
of
the
door.
\VS{35}Who
would
grant
me
a hearer,
that
the
Almighty
may
hear
my desire;
and
that
he
himself
that judgeth
would
write
a
book,
\VS{36}That
I
may
carry
it
on
my
shoulder,
and
put
it
about
me as
a
crown?
\VS{37}At every step
of mine
I would pronounce
it,
and
offer
it
as
to
a
prince.
\VS{38}If
my
land
cry
against
me,
and
with
it
the
furrows thereof
mourn:
\VS{39}If
I
have
eaten
the fruits thereof
without
money,
and
have afflicted
the
soul
of
the tillers thereof:
\VS{40}Let
thistles
grow up
to
me
instead
of
wheat,
and
thorns
instead
of
barley.

\par }\Chap{32}{\PP \VerseOne{1}So
these
three
men ceased
to
answer
Job,
because
he
seemed
just
to
himself.
\VS{2}And Eliu
the
son
of
Barachel
the
Buzite,
of
the kindred
of
Ram,
was
angry
and
was moved
to indignation: now
he
was
angry
against
Job,
because
he said
he
was
just
before
God.
\VS{3}And
he
was
angry
with
his
friends
because
they
had
not
found
a reasonable
answer,
but only
had
condemned
Job.
\VS{4}So Eliu
waited
while
Job
was
speaking,
because
they
were
his
elders
that
were
speaking.
\VS{5}But
when
he
saw
that
the
three
were
not able
to
answer,
he
was exceedingly
angry.
\VS{6}Then Eliu
the
son
of
Barachel
the
Buzite
answered
and
said:
I
am
younger
in
days,
and
you
are
more ancient;
therefore hanging
down
my head,
I
was
afraid
to shew
you
my
opinion.
\VS{7}For
I hoped
that greater
age
would
speak,
and
that
a
multitude
of
years
would
teach
wisdom.
\VS{8}But, as I
see, there
is
a
spirit
in
men,
and
the inspiration
of
the
Almighty giveth
understanding.
\VS{9}They
that
are
aged
are
not
the
wise
men,
neither do
the ancients
understand
judgment.
\VS{10}Therefore
I
will
speak: Hearken
to
me,
I
also
will shew
you
my wisdom.
\VS{11}For
I
have
waited
for
your
words,
I
have given
ear
to
your
wisdom,
as
long
as
you
were disputing
in
words.
\VS{12}And
as
long
as
I thought
you
said
some
thing,
I considered:
but,
as
I
see,
there
is
none
of
you
that
can convince
Job,
and
answer
his
words.
\VS{13}Lest
you
should
say:
We
have
found
wisdom,
God hath cast
him down,
not
man.
\VS{14}He hath
spoken
nothing
to
me,
and
I
will
not
answer
him
according
to
your
words.
\VS{15}They
were afraid,
and
answered
no
more,
and
they
left off
speaking.
\VS{16}Therefore
because
I
have
waited,
and
they
have
not
spoken:
they
stood,
and
answered
no
more:
\VS{17}I
also
will
answer
my part,
and
will shew
my
knowledge.
\VS{18}For
I am
full
of matter
to speak
of,
and
the
spirit
of
my bowels straiteneth
me.
\VS{19}Behold,
my
belly
is as
new
wine
which wanteth vent,
which bursteth
the
new vessels.
\VS{20}I
will
speak
and take breath
a little: I
will
open
my
lips,
and
will
answer.
\VS{21}I
will
not accept
the
person
of
man,
and
I
will
not level
God
with
man.
\VS{22}For
I
know
not
how long
I
shall continue,
and whether
after
a
while
my Maker
may
take
me
away.

\par }\Chap{33}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Hear therefore,
O
Job,
my speeches,
and hearken
to
all
my
words.
\VS{2}Behold
now
I
have
opened
my
mouth,
let
my
tongue
speak within
my
jaws.
\VS{3}My
words
are
from
my
upright
heart,
and
my
lips
shall
speak a
pure sentence.
\VS{4}The
spirit
of
God
made
me,
and
the
breath
of
the
Almighty
gave
me
life.
\VS{5}If thou canst,
answer
me,
and
stand
up
against
my
face.
\VS{6}Behold
God hath
made
me
as
well
as thee,
and
of
the same clay
I
also
was
formed.
\VS{7}But
yet
let
not
my wonder
terrify thee,
and
let
not
my eloquence
be
burdensome
to thee.
\VS{8}Now thou
has
said
in
my
hearing,
and
I
have
heard
the
voice
of thy
words:
\VS{9}I
am
clean,
and
without
sin:
I
am unspotted,
and
there
is
no
iniquity
in
me.
\VS{10}Because
he hath
found complaints
against
me, therefore
he hath
counted
me
for
his
enemy.
\VS{11}He hath
put
my
feet
in
the
stocks,
he hath
observed
all
my
paths.
\VS{12}Now
this
is
the
thing
in which thou art
not
justified:
I
will
answer thee,
that
God
is
greater
than
man.
\VS{13}Dost thou
strive
against
him,
because
he hath
not
answered thee
to
all
words?
\VS{14}God speaketh
once,
and repeateth
not
the selfsame
thing
the
second
time.
\VS{15}By
a
dream
in
a
vision
by
night,
when
deep
sleep falleth
upon
men,
and
they
are
sleeping
in
their
beds:
\VS{16}Then
he openeth
the
ears
of
men,
and teaching instructeth
them
in what
they
are
to learn.
\VS{17}That
he
may withdraw
a
man
from
the
things
he
is doing,
and
may deliver him
from
pride.
\VS{18}Rescuing
his
soul
from
corruption:
and
his
life
from
passing
to
the sword.
\VS{19}He rebuketh also
by
sorrow
in
the
bed,
and
he maketh all
his
bones
to wither.
\VS{20}Bread becometh abominable
to
him
in his
life,
and
to his
soul the meat
which before
he
desired.
\VS{21}His
flesh
shall
be
consumed
away,
and
his
bones
that were covered
shall
be made
bare.
\VS{22}His
soul hath
drawn
near
to
corruption,
and
his
life
to
the destroyers.
\VS{23}If
there
shall
be
an
angel speaking
for
him,
one
among
thousands,
to
declare
man’s
uprightness,
\VS{24}He shall
have
mercy
on
him,
and shall
say:
Deliver
him,
that
he may not
go
down
to
corruption:
I
have
found wherein
I may be merciful
to
him.
\VS{25}His
flesh
is consumed
with punishment, let
him
return
to
the
days
of
his
youth.
\VS{26}He
shall
pray
to
God,
and
he
will
be gracious
to
him:
and
he
shall
see
his
face
with
joy,
and
he
will
render
to
man
his
justice.
\VS{27}He
shall
look
upon
men,
and
shall
say:
I
have
sinned,
and
indeed
I
have
offended,
and
I
have
not
received
what
I
have deserved.
\VS{28}He hath
delivered
his
soul
from going
into
destruction,
that
it
may
live
and
see
the
light.
\VS{29}Behold,
all
these
things
God worketh
three
times
within
every
one.
\VS{30}That
he
may
withdraw
their
souls
from
corruption,
and
enlighten
them
with
the
light
of
the
living.
\VS{31}Attend,
Job,
and hearken
to
me:
and hold thy peace, whilst
I
speak.
\VS{32}But
if thou hast
any
thing
to
say,
answer
me,
speak:
for
I
would
have thee
to appear
just.
\VS{33}And
if thou
have
not,
hear
me: hold thy peace,
and
I
will
teach thee
wisdom.

\par }\Chap{34}{\PP \VerseOne{1}And Eliu
continued
his discourse,
and
said:
\VS{2}Hear ye,
wise
men,
my
words,
and ye
learned, hearken
to
me:
\VS{3}For
the
ear trieth
words,
and
the
mouth discerneth meats
by
the
taste.
\VS{4}Let
us
choose
to
us
judgment,
and let
us
see
among
ourselves
what
is
the
best.
\VS{5}For
Job hath
said:
I am
just,
and
God hath overthrown
my
judgment.
\VS{6}For
in judging
me
there
is
a
lie:
my
arrow
is violent
without any sin.
\VS{7}What
man
is there
like
Job,
who drinketh
up scorning
like
water?
\VS{8}Who goeth
in
company
with
them
that
work
iniquity,
and walketh
with
wicked
men?
\VS{9}For
he hath
said:
Man
shall
not
please
God,
although
he run
with
him.
\VS{10}Therefore, ye
men
of
understanding,
hear
me:
far
from
god
be
wickedness,
and
iniquity
from
the
Almighty.
\VS{11}For
he
will render
to
a
man
his
work,
and
according
to
the
ways
of
every
one
he
will
reward
them.
\VS{12}For
in very deed
God
will
not
condemn
without
cause,
neither
will
the
Almighty
pervert
judgment.
\VS{13}What
other hath
he
appointed
over
the
earth?
or
whom hath
he
set
over
the
world
which
he
made?
\VS{14}If
he
turn
his
heart
to
him,
he
shall draw
his
spirit
and
breath unto
himself.
\VS{15}All
flesh
shall
perish
together,
and
man
shall
return
into
ashes.
\VS{16}If
then thou hast
understanding,
hear
what
is
said,
and hearken
to
the
voice
of
my
words.
\VS{17}Can
he
be healed
that loveth
not
judgment?
and
how dost thou
so far
condemn
him
that
is
just?
\VS{18}Who saith
to
the
king: Thou art
an apostate:
who calleth rulers
ungodly?
\VS{19}Who accepteth
not
the persons
of
princes:
nor hath
regarded
the tyrant,
when
he contended
against
the
poor
man:
for
all
are
the
work
of
his
hands.
\VS{20}They
shall
suddenly
die,
and
the
people
shall
be troubled
at midnight,
and
they
shall
pass,
and
take
away
the violent
without
hand.
\VS{21}For
his
eyes
are
upon
the
ways
of
men,
and
he considereth
all
their
steps.
\VS{22}There
is
no
darkness,
and
there
is
no
shadow
of
death,
where
they
may
be
hid
who
work
iniquity.
\VS{23}For
it
is
no
longer
in
the
power
of
man
to
enter
into
judgment
with
God.
\VS{24}He
shall break
in pieces many
and innumerable,
and
shall
make
others
to
stand
in
their
stead.
\VS{25}For
he knoweth
their
works:
and
therefore
he shall bring
night on
them,
and
they shall
be
destroyed.
\VS{26}He hath
struck
them,
as being
wicked,
in open sight.
\VS{27}Who
as
it
were
on purpose
have revolted
from
him,
and
would
not
understand
all
his
ways:
\VS{28}So
that
they caused
the
cry
of
the
needy
to
come
to
him,
and
he
heard
the voice
of
the
poor.
\VS{29}For
when
he granteth
peace,
who
is there
that
can
condemn?
When
he hideth
his
countenance,
who
is there
that
can
behold
him, whether
it
regard
nations,
or
all
men?
\VS{30}Who maketh a
man that
is a hypocrite
to
reign
for
the sins
of
the
people?
\VS{31}Seeing
then
I
have
spoken
of
God,
I
will
not hinder thee
in thy turn.
\VS{32}If
I
have erred,
teach thou
me:
if
I
have spoken
iniquity,
I
will
add
no
more.
\VS{33}Doth
God
require
it
of thee,
because
it hath displeased thee?
for thou begannest
to
speak,
and
not
I:
but
if thou
know
any
thing better,
speak.
\VS{34}Let
men
of
understanding
speak
to
me,
and let
a
wise
man hearken
to
me.
\VS{35}But
Job hath
spoken foolishly,
and
his
words sound
not discipline.
\VS{36}My father, let
Job
be
tried
even
to
the
end: cease not
from
the
man
of
iniquity.
\VS{37}Because
he addeth blasphemy
upon
his
sins, let
him
be tied fast
in
the mean time amongst
us:
and
then let
him provoke
God
to judgment
with
his speeches.

\par }\Chap{35}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Moreover Eliu
spoke these words:
\VS{2}Doth thy
thought
seem
right
to thee,
that thou shouldst
say:
I am more
just than
God?
\VS{3}For thou saidst:
That
which
is right doth
not please thee:
or
what
will
it
profit thee
if
I
sin?
\VS{4}Therefore
I
will
answer thy
words,
and thy
friends
with thee.
\VS{5}Look
up
to
heaven
and
see,
and
behold
the
sky,
that
it
is
higher
than thee.
\VS{6}If thou
sin,
what shalt thou hurt
him?
and
if thy iniquities be
multiplied,
what shalt thou
do
against
him?
\VS{7}And
if thou
do justly,
what shalt thou
give
him,
or
what
shall
he
receive
of thy
hand?
\VS{8}Thy
wickedness
may hurt
a
man
that
is
like thee:
and thy
justice
may help
the
son
of
man.
\VS{9}By reason
of
the
multitude
of
oppressions
they shall
cry
out:
and shall wail
for
the violence
of
the
arm
of tyrants.
\VS{10}And
he hath
not
said:
Where
is
God,
who
made
me,
who hath
given
songs
in
the
night?
\VS{11}Who teacheth
us more than
the
beasts
of
the
earth,
and instructeth
us more than
the fowls
of
the air.
\VS{12}There
shall
they
cry,
and
he
will
not hear,
because
of
the
pride
of
evil men.
\VS{13}God therefore
will
not
hear
in
vain,
and
the
Almighty
will
look into
the causes
of every
one.
\VS{14}Yea
when thou shalt
say:
He considereth
not:
be judged
before
him,
and expect
him.
\VS{15}For
he doth
not
now
bring
on
his fury,
neither doth
he revenge wickedness
exceedingly.
\VS{16}Therefore

vain,
and multiplieth
words
without
knowledge.

to speak
in
God’s behalf.
\VS{3}I

from

I
will prove
my

just.
\VS{4}For
indeed
my
words
are
without

perfect

shall

\VS{5}God doth
not cast away
the
mighty, whereas

himself
also
is
mighty.
\VS{6}But
he saveth
not
the
wicked,
and
he giveth
judgment
to

\VS{7}He
will
not
take
away
his

from

just,
and
he placeth
kings
on

\VS{8}And
if
they
shall be
in chains,
and be
bound
with
the
cords of poverty:
\VS{9}He shall shew
them
their works,
and
their wicked
deeds,
because
they
have been violent.
\VS{10}He
also shall
open
their
ear,
to correct
them:

speak,
that

from
iniquity.
\VS{11}If
they
shall
hear
and
observe,
they
shall
accomplish
their
days
in
good,
and
their
years
in glory.
\VS{12}But
if
they
hear
not,
they
shall
pass

be consumed
in folly.

cry
when

\VS{14}Their
soul
shall
die
in

\VS{15}He shall
deliver
the

of

open
his
ear
in affliction.

at large out

out showers like floods:

out

shall
thunder wonderfully

Job:
Stand,

consider
the
wondrous
works
of
God.
\VS{15}Dost thou
know
when
God commanded
the rains,
to shew

\VS{17}Are
not thy

hot,
when
the
south wind blows upon
the

\VS{18}Thou perhaps hast made
the heavens

strong, as if they were

molten brass.
\VS{19}Shew
us
what we
may
say
to
him:
for we

\VS{20}Who
shall
tell
him
the things
I
speak?
even
if
a
man
shall
speak,
he
shall
be
swallowed
up.
\VS{21}But
now
they
see
not
the
light:
the
air

and
the

shall
pass

away.
\VS{22}Cold cometh
out

God praise
with
fear.
\VS{23}We
cannot
find
him worthily:
he
is
great
in
strength,
and
in
judgment,
and
in
justice,
and
he
is ineffable.

all
the
evil
that
God
had
brought
upon
him.
And
every
man
gave
him
one ewe,
and
one
earring
of fold.
\VS{12}And
the
Lord
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}And
he
had
seven
sons,
and
three
daughters.
\VS{14}And
he
called
the
names
of
one Dies,
and
the
name
of
the
second Cassia,
and
the
name
of
the
third Cornustibil.
\VS{15}And
there
were
not
found
in
all
the
earth
women
so
beautiful
as
the
daughters
of
Job:
and
their
father
gave
them
inheritance
among
their
brethren.
\VS{16}And
Job
lived
after
these
things,
a
hundred
and
forty
years,
and
he
saw
his
children,
and
his
children’s
children, unto
the
fourth
generation,
and
he died
an
old
man,
and full
of
days.
