$$ JOB 1:1
¶ There was a man in the lande of Vz called Iob, and this man was an vpright and iust man, one that feared God, and eschewed euill.

$$ JOB 1:2
And he had seue sonnes, and three daughters.

$$ JOB 1:3
His substance also was seuen thousande sheepe, and three thousand camels, and fiue hundreth yoke of oxen, and fiue hundreth shee asses, and his family was very great, so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the East.

$$ JOB 1:4
And his sonnes went and banketted in their houses, euery one his day, and sent, and called their three sisters to eate and to drinke with them.

$$ JOB 1:5
And when the dayes of their banketting were gone about, Iob sent, and sanctified them, and rose vp early in the morning, and offred burnt offrings according to the nomber of them all. For Iob thought, It may be that my sonnes haue sinned, and blasphemed God in their hearts: thus did Iob euery day.

$$ JOB 1:6
Nowe on a day when the children of God came and stoode before the Lord, Satan came also among them.

$$ JOB 1:7
Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, saying, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.

$$ JOB 1:8
And the Lord saide vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill?

$$ JOB 1:9
Then Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Doeth Iob feare God for nought?

$$ JOB 1:10
Hast thou not made an hedge about him and about his house, and about all that he hath on euery side? thou hast blessed the worke of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

$$ JOB 1:11
But stretch out now thine hand and touch all that he hath, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.

$$ JOB 1:12
Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Lo, all that he hath is in thine hand: onely vpon himselfe shalt thou not stretch out thine hand. So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord.

$$ JOB 1:13
And on a day, when his sonnes and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,

$$ JOB 1:14
There came a messenger vnto Iob, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding in their places,

$$ JOB 1:15
And the Shabeans came violently, and tooke them: yea, they haue slayne the seruants with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.

$$ JOB 1:16
And whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayde, The fire of God is fallen from the heauen, and hath burnt vp the sheepe and the seruants, and deuoured them: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.

$$ JOB 1:17
And whiles he was yet speaking, another came, and sayd, The Caldeans set on three bands, and fell vpon the camels, and haue taken them, and haue slayne the seruantes with the edge of the sworde: but I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.

$$ JOB 1:18
And whiles he was yet speaking, came an other, and sayd, Thy sonnes, and thy daughters were eating, and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,

$$ JOB 1:19
And behold, there came a great wind from beyonde the wildernesse, and smote the foure corners of the house, which fel vpon the children, and they are dead, and I onely am escaped alone to tell thee.

$$ JOB 1:20
Then Iob arose, and rent his garment, and shaued his head, and fel downe vpon the ground, and worshipped,

$$ JOB 1:21
And sayd, Naked came I out of my mothers wombe, and naked shall I returne thither: the Lord hath giuen, and the Lord hath taken it: blessed be the Name of the Lord.

$$ JOB 1:22
In all this did not Iob sinne, nor charge God foolishly.

$$ JOB 2:1
¶ And on a day the children of God came and stood before the Lord, and Satan came also among them, and stoode before the Lord.

$$ JOB 2:2
Then the Lord sayde vnto Satan, Whence commest thou? And Satan answered the Lord, and sayd, From compassing the earth to and from, and from walking in it.

$$ JOB 2:3
And the Lord sayd vnto Satan, Hast thou not considered my seruant Iob, how none is like him in the earth? an vpright and iust man, one that feareth God, and escheweth euill? for yet he continueth in his vprightnesse, although thou mouedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

$$ JOB 2:4
And Satan answered the Lord, and sayde, Skin for skin, and all that euer a man hath, will he giue for his life.

$$ JOB 2:5
But stretch now out thine hand, and touch his bones and his flesh, to see if he will not blaspheme thee to thy face.

$$ JOB 2:6
Then the Lord said vnto Satan, Lo, he is in thine hand, but saue his life.

$$ JOB 2:7
So Satan departed from the presence of the Lord, and smote Iob with sore boyles, from the sole of his foote vnto his crowne.

$$ JOB 2:8
And he tooke a potsharde to scrape him, and he sate downe among the ashes.

$$ JOB 2:9
Then said his wife vnto him, Doest thou continue yet in thine vprightnes? Blaspheme God, and dye.

$$ JOB 2:10
But he said vnto her, Thou speakest like a foolish woman: what? shall we receiue good at the hande of God, and not receiue euill? In all this did not Iob sinne with his lippes.

$$ JOB 2:11
Nowe when Iobs three friends heard of all this euill that was come vpon him, they came euery one from his owne place, to wit, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they were agreed together to come to lament with him, and to comfort him.

$$ JOB 2:12
So when they lift vp their eyes a farre off, they knewe him not: therefore they lift vp their voyces and wept, and euery one of them rent his garment, and sprinkled dust vpon their heads toward the heauen.

$$ JOB 2:13
So they sate by him vpon the ground seuen dayes, and seuen nights, and none spake a worde vnto him: for they sawe, that the griefe was very great.

$$ JOB 3:1
¶ Afterward Iob opened his mouth, and cursed his day.

$$ JOB 3:2
And Iob cryed out, and sayd,

$$ JOB 3:3
Let the day perish, wherein I was borne, and the night when it was sayde, There is a man childe conceiued.

$$ JOB 3:4
Let that day bee darkenesse, let not God regarde it from aboue, neyther let the light shine vpon it,

$$ JOB 3:5
But let darkenesse, and the shadowe of death staine it: let the cloude remayne vpon it, and let them make it fearefull as a bitter day.

$$ JOB 3:6
Let darkenesse possesse that night, let it not be ioyned vnto the dayes of the yeere, nor let it come into the count of the moneths.

$$ JOB 3:7
Yea, desolate be that night, and let no ioy be in it.

$$ JOB 3:8
Let them that curse the day, (being readie to renue their mourning) curse it.

$$ JOB 3:9
Let the starres of that twilight be dimme through darkenesse of it: let it looke for light, but haue none: neither let it see the dawning of the day,

$$ JOB 3:10
Because it shut not vp the dores of my mothers wombe: nor hid sorowe from mine eyes.

$$ JOB 3:11
Why died I not in the birth? or why dyed I not, when I came out of the wombe?

$$ JOB 3:12
Why did the knees preuent me? and why did I sucke the breasts?

$$ JOB 3:13
For so shoulde I now haue lyen and bene quiet, I should haue slept then, and bene at rest,

$$ JOB 3:14
With the Kings and counselers of the earth, which haue buylded themselues desolate places:

$$ JOB 3:15
Or with the princes that had golde, and haue filled their houses with siluer.

$$ JOB 3:16
Or why was I not hid, as an vntimely birth, either as infants, which haue not seene the light?

$$ JOB 3:17
The wicked haue there ceased from their tyrannie, and there they that laboured valiantly, are at rest.

$$ JOB 3:18
The prisoners rest together, and heare not the voyce of the oppressour.

$$ JOB 3:19
There are small and great, and the seruant is free from his master.

$$ JOB 3:20
Wherefore is the light giuen to him that is in miserie? and life vnto them that haue heauie hearts?

$$ JOB 3:21
Which long for death, and if it come not, they would euen search it more then treasures:

$$ JOB 3:22
Which ioy for gladnes, and reioyce, when they can finde the graue.

$$ JOB 3:23
Why is the light giuen to the man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

$$ JOB 3:24
For my sighing commeth before I eate, and my roarings are powred out like the water.

$$ JOB 3:25
For the thing I feared, is come vpon me, and the thing that I was afraid of, is come vnto me.

$$ JOB 3:26
I had no peace, neither had I quietnesse, neither had I rest, yet trouble is come.

$$ JOB 4:1
¶ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and sayde,

$$ JOB 4:2
If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieued? but who can withholde himselfe from speaking?

$$ JOB 4:3
Behold, thou hast taught many, and hast strengthened the wearie hands.

$$ JOB 4:4
Thy wordes haue confirmed him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the weake knees.

$$ JOB 4:5
But now it is come vpon thee, and thou art grieued: it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

$$ JOB 4:6
Is not this thy feare, thy confidence, thy pacience, and the vprightnesse of thy wayes?

$$ JOB 4:7
Remember, I pray thee: who euer perished, being an innocent? or where were the vpright destroyed?

$$ JOB 4:8
As I haue seene, they that plow iniquitie, and sowe wickednesse, reape the same.

$$ JOB 4:9
With the blast of God they perish, and with the breath of his nostrels are they cosumed.

$$ JOB 4:10
The roaring of the Lion, and the voyce of the Lionesse, and the teeth of the Lions whelpes are broken.

$$ JOB 4:11
The Lyon perisheth for lacke of pray, and the Lyons whelpes are scattered abroade.

$$ JOB 4:12
But a thing was brought to me secretly, and mine eare hath receiued a litle thereof.

$$ JOB 4:13
In the thoughtes of ye visions of the night, when sleepe falleth on men,

$$ JOB 4:14
Feare came vpon me, and dread which made all my bones to tremble.

$$ JOB 4:15
And the wind passed before me, and made the heares of my flesh to stande vp.

$$ JOB 4:16
Then stoode one, and I knewe not his face: an image was before mine eyes, and in silence heard I a voyce, saying,

$$ JOB 4:17
Shall man be more iust then God? or shall a man be more pure then his maker?

$$ JOB 4:18
Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Seruants, and laid follie vpon his Angels.

$$ JOB 4:19
Howe much more in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, which shalbe destroyed before the moth?

$$ JOB 4:20
They be destroyed from the morning vnto the euening: they perish for euer, without regarde.

$$ JOB 4:21
Doeth not their dignitie goe away with them? do they not die, and that without wisdom?

$$ JOB 5:1
¶ Call nowe, if any will answere thee, and to which of the Saintes wilt thou turne?

$$ JOB 5:2
Doubtlesse anger killeth the foolish, and enuie slayeth the idiote.

$$ JOB 5:3
I haue seene the foolish well rooted, and suddenly I cursed his habitation, saying,

$$ JOB 5:4
His children shalbe farre from saluation, and they shall be destroyed in the gate, and none shall deliuer them.

$$ JOB 5:5
The hungrie shall eate vp his haruest: yea, they shall take it from among the thornes, and the thirstie shall drinke vp their substance.

$$ JOB 5:6
For miserie commeth not foorth of the dust, neither doeth affliction spring out of the earth.

$$ JOB 5:7
But man is borne vnto trauaile, as the sparkes flie vpwarde.

$$ JOB 5:8
But I would inquire at God, and turne my talke vnto God:

$$ JOB 5:9
Which doeth great things and vnsearchable, and marueilous things without nomber.

$$ JOB 5:10
He giueth raine vpon the earth, and powreth water vpon the streetes,

$$ JOB 5:11
And setteth vp on hie them that be lowe, that the sorowfull may be exalted to saluation.

$$ JOB 5:12
He scattereth the deuices of the craftie: so that their handes can not accomplish that which they doe enterprise.

$$ JOB 5:13
He taketh the wise in their craftinesse, and the counsel of the wicked is made foolish.

$$ JOB 5:14
They meete with darkenesse in the day time, and grope at noone day, as in the night.

$$ JOB 5:15
But he saueth the poore from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hande of the violent man,

$$ JOB 5:16
So that the poore hath his hope, but iniquitie shall stop her mouth.

$$ JOB 5:17
Beholde, blessed is the man whome God correcteth: therefore refuse not thou the chastising of the Almightie.

$$ JOB 5:18
For he maketh the wound, and bindeth it vp: he smiteth, and his handes make whole.

$$ JOB 5:19
He shall deliuer thee in sixe troubles, and in the seuenth the euill shall not touch thee.

$$ JOB 5:20
In famine he shall deliuer thee from death: and in battel from the power of the sworde.

$$ JOB 5:21
Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and thou shalt not be afraid of destruction when it commeth.

$$ JOB 5:22
But thou shalt laugh at destruction and dearth, and shalt not be afraide of the beast of the earth.

$$ JOB 5:23
For the stones of the fielde shall be in league with thee, and the beastes of the field shall be at peace with thee.

$$ JOB 5:24
And thou shalt knowe, that peace shall be in thy tabernacle, and thou shalt visite thine habitation, and shalt not sinne.

$$ JOB 5:25
Thou shalt perceiue also, that thy seede shalbe great, and thy posteritie as the grasse of the earth.

$$ JOB 5:26
Thou shalt goe to thy graue in a ful age, as a ricke of corne commeth in due season into the barne.

$$ JOB 5:27
Lo, thus haue we inquired of it, and so it is: heare this and knowe it for thy selfe.

$$ JOB 6:1
¶ Bvt Iob answered, and said,

$$ JOB 6:2
Oh that my griefe were well weighed, and my miseries were layed together in the balance.

$$ JOB 6:3
For it woulde be nowe heauier then the sande of the sea: therefore my wordes are swallowed vp.

$$ JOB 6:4
For the arrowes of the Almightie are in me, the venime whereof doeth drinke vp my spirit, and the terrours of God fight against me.

$$ JOB 6:5
Doeth the wilde asse bray when he hath grasse? or loweth the oxe when he hath fodder?

$$ JOB 6:6
That which is vnsauerie, shall it be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egge?

$$ JOB 6:7
Such things as my soule refused to touch, as were sorowes, are my meate.

$$ JOB 6:8
Oh that I might haue my desire, and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

$$ JOB 6:9
That is, that God would destroy me: that he would let his hand go, and cut me off.

$$ JOB 6:10
Then should I yet haue comfort, (though I burne with sorowe, let him not spare) because I haue not denyed the wordes of the Holy one.

$$ JOB 6:11
What power haue I that I should endure? or what is mine end, if I should prolong my life?

$$ JOB 6:12
Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brasse?

$$ JOB 6:13
Is it not so, that there is in me no helpe? and that strength is taken from me?

$$ JOB 6:14
He that is in miserie, ought to be comforted of his neighbour: but men haue forsaken the feare of the Almightie.

$$ JOB 6:15
My brethre haue deceiued me as a brook, and as the rising of the riuers they passe away.

$$ JOB 6:16
Which are blackish with yee, and wherein the snowe is hid.

$$ JOB 6:17
But in time they are dryed vp with heate and are consumed: and when it is hote they faile out of their places,

$$ JOB 6:18
Or they depart from their way and course, yea, they vanish and perish.

$$ JOB 6:19
They that go to Tema, considered them, and they that goe to Sheba, waited for them.

$$ JOB 6:20
But they were confounded: when they hoped, they came thither and were ashamed.

$$ JOB 6:21
Surely nowe are ye like vnto it: ye haue seene my fearefull plague, and are afraide.

$$ JOB 6:22
Was it because I said, Bring vnto me? or giue a rewarde to me of your substance?

$$ JOB 6:23
And deliuer me from the enemies hande, or ransome me out of the hand of tyrants?

$$ JOB 6:24
Teach me, and I wil hold my tongue: and cause me to vnderstande, wherein I haue erred.

$$ JOB 6:25
Howe stedfast are the wordes of righteousnes? and what can any of you iustly reproue?

$$ JOB 6:26
Doe ye imagine to reproue wordes, that the talke of the afflicted should be as the winde?

$$ JOB 6:27
Ye make your wrath to fall vpon the fatherlesse, and dig a pit for your friende.

$$ JOB 6:28
Nowe therefore be content to looke vpon me: for I will not lie before your face.

$$ JOB 6:29
Turne, I pray you, let there be none iniquitie: returne, I say, and ye shall see yet my righteousnesse in that behalfe. Is there iniquitie in my tongue? doeth not my mouth feele sorowes?

$$ JOB 7:1
¶ Is there not an appointed time to man vpon earth? and are not his dayes as the dayes of an hyreling?

$$ JOB 7:2
As a seruant longeth for the shadowe, and as an hyreling looketh for the ende of his worke,

$$ JOB 7:3
So haue I had as an inheritance the moneths of vanitie, and painefull nights haue bene appointed vnto me.

$$ JOB 7:4
If I layed me downe, I sayde, When shall I arise? and measuring the euening I am euen full with tossing to and from vnto the dawning of the day.

$$ JOB 7:5
My flesh is clothed with wormes and filthinesse of the dust: my skinne is rent, and become horrible.

$$ JOB 7:6
My dayes are swifter then a weauers shittle, and they are spent without hope.

$$ JOB 7:7
Remember that my life is but a wind, and that mine eye shall not returne to see pleasure.

$$ JOB 7:8
The eye that hath seene me, shall see me no more: thine eyes are vpon me, and I shall be no longer.

$$ JOB 7:9
As the cloude vanisheth and goeth away, so he that goeth downe to the graue, shall come vp no more.

$$ JOB 7:10
He shall returne no more to his house, neither shall his place knowe him any more.

$$ JOB 7:11
Therefore I will not spare my mouth, but will speake in the trouble of my spirite, and muse in the bitternesse of my minde.

$$ JOB 7:12
Am I a sea or a whalefish, that thou keepest me in warde?

$$ JOB 7:13
When I say, My couch shall relieue me, and my bed shall bring comfort in my meditation,

$$ JOB 7:14
Then fearest thou me with dreames, and astonishest me with visions.

$$ JOB 7:15
Therefore my soule chuseth rather to be strangled and to die, then to be in my bones.

$$ JOB 7:16
I abhorre it, I shall not liue alway: spare me then, for my dayes are but vanitie.

$$ JOB 7:17
What is man, that thou doest magnifie him, and that thou settest thine heart vpon him?

$$ JOB 7:18
And doest visite him euery morning, and tryest him euery moment?

$$ JOB 7:19
Howe long will it be yer thou depart from me? thou wilt not let me alone whiles I may swallowe my spettle.

$$ JOB 7:20
I haue sinned, what shall I do vnto thee? O thou preseruer of me, why hast thou set me as a marke against thee, so that I am a burden vnto my selfe?

$$ JOB 7:21
And why doest thou not pardon my trespasse? and take away mine iniquitie? for nowe shall I sleepe in the dust, and if thou seekest me in the morning, I shall not be found.

$$ JOB 8:1
¶ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and saide,

$$ JOB 8:2
Howe long wilt thou talke of these things? and howe long shall the wordes of thy mouth be as a mightie winde?

$$ JOB 8:3
Doeth God peruert iudgement? or doeth the Almightie subuert iustice?

$$ JOB 8:4
If thy sonnes haue sinned against him, and he hath sent them into the place of their iniquitie,

$$ JOB 8:5
Yet if thou wilt early seeke vnto God, and pray to the Almightie,

$$ JOB 8:6
If thou be pure and vpright, then surely hee will awake vp vnto thee, and he wil make the habitation of thy righteousnesse prosperous.

$$ JOB 8:7
And though thy beginning be small, yet thy latter ende shall greatly encrease.

$$ JOB 8:8
Inquire therefore, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thy selfe to search of their fathers.

$$ JOB 8:9
(For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant: for our dayes vpon earth are but a shadowe)

$$ JOB 8:10
Shall not they teach thee and tell thee, and vtter the wordes of their heart?

$$ JOB 8:11
Can a rush grow without myre? or can ye grasse growe without water?

$$ JOB 8:12
Though it were in greene and not cutte downe, yet shall it wither before any other herbe.

$$ JOB 8:13
So are the paths of al that forget God, and the hypocrites hope shall perish.

$$ JOB 8:14
His confidence also shalbe cut off, and his trust shalbe as the house of a spyder.

$$ JOB 8:15
He shall leane vpon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall holde him fast by it, yet shall it not endure.

$$ JOB 8:16
The tree is greene before the sunne, and the branches spread ouer the garden thereof.

$$ JOB 8:17
The rootes thereof are wrapped about the fountaine, and are folden about ye house of stones.

$$ JOB 8:18
If any plucke it from his place, and it denie, saying, I haue not seene thee,

$$ JOB 8:19
Beholde, it will reioyce by this meanes, that it may growe in another molde.

$$ JOB 8:20
Behold, God will not cast away an vpright man, neither will he take the wicked by the hand,

$$ JOB 8:21
Till he haue filled thy mouth with laughter, and thy lippes with ioy.

$$ JOB 8:22
They that hate thee, shall be clothed with shame, and the dwelling of the wicked shall not remaine.

$$ JOB 9:1
¶ Then Iob answered, and sayd,

$$ JOB 9:2
I knowe verily that it is so: for howe should man compared vnto God, be iustified?

$$ JOB 9:3
If I would dispute with him, hee could not answere him one thing of a thousand.

$$ JOB 9:4
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath bene fierce against him and hath prospered?

$$ JOB 9:5
He remoueth the mountaines, and they feele not when he ouerthroweth them in his wrath.

$$ JOB 9:6
Hee remooueth the earth out of her place, that the pillars thereof doe shake.

$$ JOB 9:7
He commandeth the sunne, and it riseth not: hee closeth vp the starres, as vnder a signet.

$$ JOB 9:8
Hee himselfe alone spreadeth out the heauens, and walketh vpon the height of the sea.

$$ JOB 9:9
He maketh the starres Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the climates of the South.

$$ JOB 9:10
He doeth great things, and vnsearcheable: yea, marueilous things without nomber.

$$ JOB 9:11
Lo, when he goeth by me, I see him not: and when he passeth by, I perceiue him not.

$$ JOB 9:12
Behold, when he taketh a pray, who can make him to restore it? who shall say vnto him, What doest thou?

$$ JOB 9:13
God will not withdrawe his anger, and the most mightie helpes doe stoupe vnder him.

$$ JOB 9:14
Howe much lesse shall I answere him? or howe should I finde out my words with him?

$$ JOB 9:15
For though I were iust, yet could I not answere, but I would make supplication to my Iudge.

$$ JOB 9:16
If I cry, and he answere me, yet woulde I not beleeue, that he heard my voyce.

$$ JOB 9:17
For he destroyeth mee with a tempest, and woundeth me without cause.

$$ JOB 9:18
He wil not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse.

$$ JOB 9:19
If we speake of strength, behold, he is strog: if we speake of iudgement, who shall bring me in to pleade?

$$ JOB 9:20
If I woulde iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne mee: if I would be perfite, he shall iudge me wicked.

$$ JOB 9:21
Though I were perfite, yet I knowe not my soule: therefore abhorre I my life.

$$ JOB 9:22
This is one point: therefore I said, Hee destroyeth the perfite and the wicked.

$$ JOB 9:23
If the scourge should suddenly slay, should God laugh at the punishment of the innocent?

$$ JOB 9:24
The earth is giuen into the hand of ye wicked: he couereth the faces of the iudges therof: if not, where is he? or who is he?

$$ JOB 9:25
My dayes haue bene more swift then a post: they haue fled, and haue seene no good thing.

$$ JOB 9:26
They are passed as with the most swift ships, and as the eagle that flyeth to the pray.

$$ JOB 9:27
If I say, I wil forget my complaynt, I will cease from my wrath, and comfort mee,

$$ JOB 9:28
Then I am afrayd of all my sorowes, knowing that thou wilt not iudge me innocent.

$$ JOB 9:29
If I be wicked, why labour I thus in vaine?

$$ JOB 9:30
If I wash my selfe with snowe water, and purge mine hands most cleane,

$$ JOB 9:31
Yet shalt thou plunge mee in the pit, and mine owne clothes shall make me filthie.

$$ JOB 9:32
For he is not a man as I am, that I shoulde answere him, if we come together to iudgement.

$$ JOB 9:33
Neyther is there any vmpire that might lay his hand vpon vs both.

$$ JOB 9:34
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his feare astonish me:

$$ JOB 9:35
Then will I speake, and feare him not: but because I am not so, I holde me still.

$$ JOB 10:1
¶ My soule is cut off though I liue: I wil leaue my complaint vpon my selfe, and wil speake in the bitternesse of my soule.

$$ JOB 10:2
I will say vnto God, Condemne mee not: shew me, wherefore thou contendest with mee.

$$ JOB 10:3
Thinkest thou it good to oppresse me, and to cast off the labour of thine handes, and to fauour the counsel of the wicked?

$$ JOB 10:4
Hast thou carnall eyes? or doest thou see as man seeth?

$$ JOB 10:5
Are thy dayes as mans dayes? or thy yeres, as the time of man,

$$ JOB 10:6
That thou inquirest of mine iniquitie, and searchest out my sinne?

$$ JOB 10:7
Thou knowest that I can not do wickedly: for none can deliuer me out of thine hand.

$$ JOB 10:8
Thine handes haue made me, and fashioned mee wholy rounde about, and wilt thou destroy me?

$$ JOB 10:9
Remember, I pray thee, that thou hast made me as the clay, and wilt thou bring me into dust againe?

$$ JOB 10:10
Hast thou not powred me out as milke? and turned me to cruds like cheese?

$$ JOB 10:11
Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and ioyned me together with bones and sinewes.

$$ JOB 10:12
Thou hast giuen me life, and grace: and thy visitation hath preserued my spirit.

$$ JOB 10:13
Though thou hast hid these things in thine heart, yet I knowe that it is so with thee.

$$ JOB 10:14
If I haue sinned, then thou wilt streightly looke vnto me, and wilt not holde mee giltlesse of mine iniquitie.

$$ JOB 10:15
If I haue done wickedly, wo vnto me: if I haue done righteously, I will not lift vp mine head, being full of confusion, because I see mine affliction.

$$ JOB 10:16
But let it increase: hunt thou me as a lyon: returne and shew thy selfe marueilous vpon me.

$$ JOB 10:17
Thou renuest thy plagues against me, and thou increasest thy wrath against me: changes and armies of sorowes are against me.

$$ JOB 10:18
Wherfore then hast thou brought me out of the wombe? Oh that I had perished, and that none eye had seene me!

$$ JOB 10:19
And that I were as I had not bene, but brought from the wombe to the graue!

$$ JOB 10:20
Are not my dayes fewe? let him cease, and leaue off from me, that I may take a litle comfort,

$$ JOB 10:21
Before I goe and shall not returne, euen to the land of darkenesse and shadow of death:

$$ JOB 10:22
Into a land, I say, darke as darknes it selfe, and into the shadow of death, where is none order, but the light is there as darkenesse.

$$ JOB 11:1
¶ Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and sayde,

$$ JOB 11:2
Should not the multitude of wordes be answered? or should a great talker be iustified?

$$ JOB 11:3
Should men holde their peace at thy lyes? and when thou mockest others, shall none make thee ashamed?

$$ JOB 11:4
For thou hast sayde, My doctrine is pure, and I am cleane in thine eyes.

$$ JOB 11:5
But, oh that God would speake and open his lippes against thee!

$$ JOB 11:6
That he might shewe thee the secretes of wisedome, howe thou hast deserued double, according to right: know therefore that God hath forgotten thee for thine iniquitie.

$$ JOB 11:7
Canst thou by searching finde out God? canst thou finde out ye Almighty to his perfection?

$$ JOB 11:8
The heauens are hie, what canst thou doe? it is deeper then the hell, how canst thou know it?

$$ JOB 11:9
The measure thereof is longer then the earth, and it is broader then the sea.

$$ JOB 11:10
If hee cut off and shut vp, or gather together, who can turne him backe?

$$ JOB 11:11
For hee knoweth vaine men, and seeth iniquitie, and him that vnderstandeth nothing.

$$ JOB 11:12
Yet vaine man would be wise, though man new borne is like a wilde asse colte.

$$ JOB 11:13
If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him:

$$ JOB 11:14
If iniquitie be in thine hand, put it farre away, and let no wickednesse dwell in thy Tabernacle.

$$ JOB 11:15
The truely shalt thou lift vp thy face without spot, and shalt be stable, and shalt not feare.

$$ JOB 11:16
But thou shalt forget thy miserie, and remember it as waters that are past.

$$ JOB 11:17
Thine age also shall appeare more cleare then the noone day: thou shalt shine and bee as the morning.

$$ JOB 11:18
And thou shalt bee bolde, because there is hope: and thou shalt digge pittes, and shalt lye downe safely.

$$ JOB 11:19
For when thou takest thy rest, none shall make thee afraide: yea, many shall make sute vnto thee.

$$ JOB 11:20
But the eyes of the wicked shall faile, and their refuge shall perish, and their hope shalbe sorow of minde.

$$ JOB 12:1
¶ Then Iob answered, and sayde,

$$ JOB 12:2
In deede because that ye are the people onely, wisedome must dye with you.

$$ JOB 12:3
But I haue vnderstanding aswel as you, and am not inferior vnto you: yea, who knoweth not such things?

$$ JOB 12:4
I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth vpon God, and he heareth him: the iust and the vpright is laughed to scorne.

$$ JOB 12:5
Hee that is readie to fall, is as a lampe despised in the opinion of the riche.

$$ JOB 12:6
The tabernacles of robbers doe prosper, and they are in safetie, that prouoke God, whome God hath enriched with his hand.

$$ JOB 12:7
Aske now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the foules of the heauen, and they shall tell thee:

$$ JOB 12:8
Or speake to the earth, and it shall shewe thee: or the fishes of the sea, and they shall declare vnto thee.

$$ JOB 12:9
Who is ignorant of all these, but that the hande of the Lord hath made these?

$$ JOB 12:10
In whose hande is the soule of euery liuing thing, and the breath of all mankinde.

$$ JOB 12:11
Doeth not the eares discerne the words? and the mouth taste meate for it selfe?

$$ JOB 12:12
Among the ancient is wisedome, and in the length of dayes is vnderstanding.

$$ JOB 12:13
With him is wisedome and strength: he hath counsell and vnderstanding.

$$ JOB 12:14
Beholde, he will breake downe, and it can not be built: he shutteth a man vp, and he can not be loosed.

$$ JOB 12:15
Beholde, he withholdeth the waters, and they drie vp: but when he sendeth them out, they destroy the earth.

$$ JOB 12:16
With him is strength and wisedome: hee that is deceiued, and that deceiueth, are his.

$$ JOB 12:17
He causeth the counsellers to goe as spoyled, and maketh the iudges fooles.

$$ JOB 12:18
He looseth the collar of Kings, and girdeth their loynes with a girdle.

$$ JOB 12:19
He leadeth away the princes as a pray, and ouerthroweth the mightie.

$$ JOB 12:20
He taketh away the speach from the faithfull counsellers, and taketh away the iudgement of the ancient.

$$ JOB 12:21
He powreth contempt vpon princes, and maketh the strength of the mightie weake.

$$ JOB 12:22
He discouereth the deepe places from their darkenesse, and bringeth foorth the shadowe of death to light.

$$ JOB 12:23
He increaseth the people, and destroyeth them: he inlargeth the nations, and bringeth them in againe.

$$ JOB 12:24
He taketh away the heartes of the that are the chiefe ouer the people of the earth, and maketh them to wander in the wildernes out of the way.

$$ JOB 12:25
They grope in the darke without light: and he maketh the to stagger like a drunken man.

$$ JOB 13:1
¶ Loe, mine eye hath seene all this: mine eare hath heard, and vnderstande it.

$$ JOB 13:2
I knowe also as much as you knowe: I am not inferiour vnto you.

$$ JOB 13:3
But I will speake to the Almightie, and I desire to dispute with God.

$$ JOB 13:4
For in deede ye forge lyes, and all you are physitions of no value.

$$ JOB 13:5
Oh, that you woulde holde your tongue, that it might be imputed to you for wisedome!

$$ JOB 13:6
Nowe heare my disputation, and giue eare to the arguments of my lips.

$$ JOB 13:7
Will ye speake wickedly for Gods defence, and talke deceitfully for his cause?

$$ JOB 13:8
Will ye accept his person? or will ye contende for God?

$$ JOB 13:9
Is it well that he shoulde seeke of you? will you make a lye for him, as one lyeth for a man?

$$ JOB 13:10
He will surely reprooue you, if ye doe secretly accept any person.

$$ JOB 13:11
Shall not his excellencie make you afraid? and his feare fall vpon you?

$$ JOB 13:12
Your memories may be compared vnto ashes, and your bodyes to bodyes of clay.

$$ JOB 13:13
Holde your tongues in my presence, that I may speake, and let come vpon what will.

$$ JOB 13:14
Wherefore doe I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my soule in mine hande?

$$ JOB 13:15
Loe, though he slay me, yet will I trust in him, and I will reprooue my wayes in his sight.

$$ JOB 13:16
He shalbe my saluation also: for the hypocrite shall not come before him.

$$ JOB 13:17
Heare diligently my wordes, and marke my talke.

$$ JOB 13:18
Beholde nowe: if I prepare me to iudgement, I knowe that I shalbe iustified.

$$ JOB 13:19
Who is he, that will pleade with me? for if I nowe holde my tongue, I dye.

$$ JOB 13:20
But doe not these two things vnto me: then will I not hide my selfe from thee.

$$ JOB 13:21
Withdrawe thine hande from me, and let not thy feare make me afraide.

$$ JOB 13:22
Then call thou, and I will answere: or let me speake, and answere thou me.

$$ JOB 13:23
Howe many are mine iniquities and sinnes? shewe me my rebellion, and my sinne.

$$ JOB 13:24
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and takest me for thine enemie?

$$ JOB 13:25
Wilt thou breake a leafe driuen to and from? and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble?

$$ JOB 13:26
For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possesse the iniquities of my youth.

$$ JOB 13:27
Thou puttest my feete also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly vnto all my pathes, and makest the print thereof in ye heeles of my feet.

$$ JOB 13:28
Such one consumeth like a rotten thing, and as a garment that is motheaten.

$$ JOB 14:1
¶ Man that is borne of woman, is of short continuance, and full of trouble.

$$ JOB 14:2
He shooteth foorth as a flowre, and is cut downe: he vanisheth also as a shadowe, and continueth not.

$$ JOB 14:3
And yet thou openest thine eyes vpon such one, and causest me to enter into iudgement with thee.

$$ JOB 14:4
Who can bring a cleane thing out of filthinesse? there is not one.

$$ JOB 14:5
Are not his dayes determined? the nober of his moneths are with thee: thou hast appointed his boundes, which he can not passe.

$$ JOB 14:6
Turne from him that he may cease vntill his desired day, as an hyreling.

$$ JOB 14:7
For there is hope of a tree, if it bee cut downe, that it will yet sproute, and the branches thereof will not cease.

$$ JOB 14:8
Though the roote of it waxe olde in the earth, and the stocke thereof be dead in ye ground,

$$ JOB 14:9
Yet by the sent of water it will bud, and bring foorth boughes like a plant.

$$ JOB 14:10
But man is sicke, and dyeth, and man perisheth, and where is he?

$$ JOB 14:11
As the waters passe from the sea, and as the flood decayeth and dryeth vp,

$$ JOB 14:12
So man sleepeth and riseth not: for hee shall not wake againe, nor be raised from his sleepe till the heauen be no more.

$$ JOB 14:13
Oh that thou wouldest hide me in the graue, and keepe me secret, vntill thy wrath were past, and wouldest giue me terme, and remember me.

$$ JOB 14:14
If a man die, shall he liue againe? All the dayes of mine appointed time will I waite, till my changing shall come.

$$ JOB 14:15
Thou shalt call me, and I shall answere thee: thou louest the worke of thine own hands.

$$ JOB 14:16
But nowe thou nombrest my steppes, and doest not delay my sinnes.

$$ JOB 14:17
Mine iniquitie is sealed vp, as in a bagge, and thou addest vnto my wickednesse.

$$ JOB 14:18
And surely as the mountaine that falleth, commeth to nought, and the rocke that is remooued from his place:

$$ JOB 14:19
As the water breaketh the stones, when thou ouerflowest the things which growe in the dust of ye earth: so thou destroyest ye hope of man.

$$ JOB 14:20
Thou preuailest alway against him, so that he passeth away: he changeth his face when thou castest him away.

$$ JOB 14:21
And he knoweth not if his sonnes shall be honourable, neither shall he vnderstand concerning them, whether they shalbe of lowe degree,

$$ JOB 14:22
But while his flesh is vpon him, he shall be sorowfull, and while his soule is in him, it shall mourne.

$$ JOB 15:1
¶ Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and saide,

$$ JOB 15:2
Shal a wise man speake words of ye winde, and fill his bellie with the East winde?

$$ JOB 15:3
Shall he dispute with wordes not comely? or with talke that is not profitable?

$$ JOB 15:4
Surely thou hast cast off feare, and restrainest prayer before God.

$$ JOB 15:5
For thy mouth declareth thine iniquitie, seeing thou hast chosen ye tongue of the crafty.

$$ JOB 15:6
Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I, and thy lippes testifie against thee.

$$ JOB 15:7
Art thou the first man, that was borne? and wast thou made before the hils?

$$ JOB 15:8
Hast thou heard the secret counsell of God, and doest thou restraine wisedome to thee?

$$ JOB 15:9
What knowest thou that we knowe not? and vnderstandest that is not in vs?

$$ JOB 15:10
With vs are both auncient and very aged men, farre older then thy father.

$$ JOB 15:11
Seeme the consolations of God small vnto thee? is this thing strange vnto thee?

$$ JOB 15:12
Why doeth thine heart take thee away, and what doe thine eyes meane,

$$ JOB 15:13
That thou answerest to God at thy pleasure, and bringest such wordes out of thy mouth?

$$ JOB 15:14
What is man, that he should be cleane? and he that is borne of woman, that he shoulde be iust?

$$ JOB 15:15
Beholde, he founde no stedfastnesse in his Saintes: yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight.

$$ JOB 15:16
How much more is man abominable, and filthie, which drinketh iniquitie like water?

$$ JOB 15:17
I will tell thee: heare me, and I will declare that which I haue seene:

$$ JOB 15:18
Which wise men haue tolde, as they haue heard of their fathers, and haue not kept it secret:

$$ JOB 15:19
To whome alone the land was giuen and no stranger passed through them.

$$ JOB 15:20
The wicked man is continually as one that traueileth of childe, and the nomber of yeeres is hid from the tyrant.

$$ JOB 15:21
A sounde of feare is in his eares, and in his prosperitie the destroyer shall come vpon him.

$$ JOB 15:22
He beleeueth not to returne out of darknesse: for he seeth the sworde before him.

$$ JOB 15:23
He wandreth to and from for bread where he may: he knoweth that the day of darkenesse is prepared at hande.

$$ JOB 15:24
Affliction and anguish shall make him afraide: they shall preuaile against him as a King readie to the battell.

$$ JOB 15:25
For he hath stretched out his hand against GOD, and made him selfe strong against the Almightie.

$$ JOB 15:26
Therefore God shall runne vpon him, euen vpon his necke, and against the most thicke part of his shielde.

$$ JOB 15:27
Because he hath couered his face with his fatnesse, and hath colloppes in his flancke.

$$ JOB 15:28
Though he dwell in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, but are become heapes,

$$ JOB 15:29
He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof in the earth.

$$ JOB 15:30
He shall neuer depart out of darkenesse: the flame shall drie vp his branches, and he shall goe away with the breath of his mouth.

$$ JOB 15:31
He beleeueth not that he erreth in vanitie: therefore vanitie shalbe his change.

$$ JOB 15:32
His branch shall not be greene, but shall be cut off before his day.

$$ JOB 15:33
God shall destroy him as the vine her sower grape, and shall cast him off, as the oliue doeth her flowre.

$$ JOB 15:34
For the congregation of the hypocrite shalbe desolate, and fire shall deuoure the houses of bribes.

$$ JOB 15:35
For they conceiue mischiefe and bring foorth vanitie, and their bellie hath prepared deceite.

$$ JOB 16:1
¶ Bvt Iob answered, and said,

$$ JOB 16:2
I haue oft times heard such things: miserable comforters are ye all.

$$ JOB 16:3
Shall there be none ende of wordes of winde? or what maketh thee bold so to answere?

$$ JOB 16:4
I could also speake as yee doe: (but woulde God your soule were in my soules stead) I could keepe you company in speaking, and could shake mine head at you,

$$ JOB 16:5
But I woulde strengthen you with my mouth, and the comfort of my lips should asswage your sorowe.

$$ JOB 16:6
Though I speake, my sorow can not be asswaged: though I cease, what release haue I?

$$ JOB 16:7
But now hee maketh mee wearie: O God, thou hast made all my congregation desolate,

$$ JOB 16:8
And hast made me full of wrinkles which is a witnesse thereof, and my leannes ryseth vp in me, testifying the same in my face.

$$ JOB 16:9
His wrath hath torne me, and hee hateth me, and gnasheth vpon mee with his teeth: mine enemie hath sharpened his eyes against me.

$$ JOB 16:10
They haue opened their mouthes vpon me, and smitten me on the cheeke in reproch; they gather themselues together against me.

$$ JOB 16:11
God hath deliuered me to the vniust, and hath made mee to turne out of the way by the hands of the wicked.

$$ JOB 16:12
I was in welth, but he hath brought me to nought: he hath taken me by the necke, and beaten me, and set me as a marke for himselfe.

$$ JOB 16:13
His archers compasse mee rounde about: he cutteth my reines, and doth not spare, and powreth my gall vpon the ground.

$$ JOB 16:14
He hath broken me with one breaking vpon another, and runneth vpon me like a gyant.

$$ JOB 16:15
I haue sowed a sackcloth vpon my skinne, and haue abased mine horne vnto the dust.

$$ JOB 16:16
My face is withered with weeping, and the shadow of death is vpon mine eyes,

$$ JOB 16:17
Though there be no wickednesse in mine hands, and my prayer be pure.

$$ JOB 16:18
O earth, couer not thou my blood, and let my crying finde no place.

$$ JOB 16:19
For lo, now my witnesse is in the heauen, and my record is on hie.

$$ JOB 16:20
My friends speake eloquently against me: but mine eye powreth out teares vnto God.

$$ JOB 16:21
Oh that a man might pleade with God, as man with his neighbour!

$$ JOB 16:22
For the yeeres accounted come, and I shall go the way, whence I shall not returne.

$$ JOB 17:1
¶ My breath is corrupt: my dayes are cut off, and the graue is readie for me.

$$ JOB 17:2
There are none but mockers with mee, and mine eye continueth in their bitternesse.

$$ JOB 17:3
Lay downe nowe and put me in suretie for thee: who is hee, that will touch mine hand?

$$ JOB 17:4
For thou hast hid their heart from vnderstanding: therefore shalt thou not set them vp on hie.

$$ JOB 17:5
For the eyes of his children shall faile, that speaketh flattery to his friends.

$$ JOB 17:6
Hee hath also made mee a byword of the people, and I am as a Tabret before them.

$$ JOB 17:7
Mine eye therefore is dimme for griefe, and all my strength is like a shadowe.

$$ JOB 17:8
The righteous shalbe astonied at this, and the innocent shalbe moued against ye hypocrite.

$$ JOB 17:9
But the righteous wil holde his way, and he whose hands are pure, shall increase his strength.

$$ JOB 17:10
All you therefore turne you, and come nowe, and I shall not finde one wise among you.

$$ JOB 17:11
My dayes are past, mine enterprises are broken, and the thoughts of mine heart

$$ JOB 17:12
Haue changed the nyght for the day, and the light that approched, for darkenesse.

$$ JOB 17:13
Though I hope, yet the graue shall bee mine house, and I shall make my bed in the darke.

$$ JOB 17:14
I shall say to corruption, Thou art my father, and to the worme, Thou art my mother and my sister.

$$ JOB 17:15
Where is then now mine hope? or who shall consider the thing, that I hoped for?

$$ JOB 17:16
They shall goe downe into the bottome of the pit: surely it shall lye together in the dust.

$$ JOB 18:1
¶ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

$$ JOB 18:2
When will yee make an ende of your words? cause vs to vnderstande, and then wee will speake.

$$ JOB 18:3
Wherefore are wee counted as beastes, and are vile in your sight?

$$ JOB 18:4
Thou art as one that teareth his soule in his anger. Shall the earth bee forsaken for thy sake? or the rocke remoued out of his place?

$$ JOB 18:5
Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe quenched, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.

$$ JOB 18:6
The light shalbe darke in his dwelling, and his candle shalbe put out with him.

$$ JOB 18:7
The steps of his strength shalbe restrained, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.

$$ JOB 18:8
For hee is taken in the net by his feete, and he walketh vpon the snares.

$$ JOB 18:9
The grenne shall take him by the heele, and the theefe shall come vpon him.

$$ JOB 18:10
A snare is layed for him in the ground, and a trappe for him in the way.

$$ JOB 18:11
Fearefulnesse shall make him afrayde on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.

$$ JOB 18:12
His strength shalbe famine: and destruction shalbe readie at his side.

$$ JOB 18:13
It shall deuoure the inner partes of his skinne, and the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.

$$ JOB 18:14
His hope shalbe rooted out of his dwelling, and shall cause him to go to the King of feare.

$$ JOB 18:15
Feare shall dwell in his house (because it is not his) and brimstone shalbe scattered vpon his habitation.

$$ JOB 18:16
His rootes shalbe dryed vp beneath, and aboue shall his branche be cut downe.

$$ JOB 18:17
His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall haue no name in the streete.

$$ JOB 18:18
They shall driue him out of the light vnto darkenesse, and chase him out of the world.

$$ JOB 18:19
Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephewe among his people, nor any posteritie in his dwellings.

$$ JOB 18:20
The posteritie shalbe astonied at his day, and feare shall come vpon the ancient.

$$ JOB 18:21
Surely such are the habitations of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

$$ JOB 19:1
¶ Bvt Iob answered, and said,

$$ JOB 19:2
Howe long will yee vexe my soule, and torment me with wordes?

$$ JOB 19:3
Ye haue now ten times reproched me, and are not ashamed: ye are impudent toward mee.

$$ JOB 19:4
And though I had in deede erred, mine errour remaineth with me.

$$ JOB 19:5
But in deede if ye will aduance your selues against me, and rebuke me for my reproche,

$$ JOB 19:6
Know nowe, that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.

$$ JOB 19:7
Beholde, I crie out of violence, but I haue none answere: I crie, but there is no iudgement.

$$ JOB 19:8
Hee hath hedged vp my way that I cannot passe, and he hath set darkenesse in my paths.

$$ JOB 19:9
Hee hath spoyled mee of mine honour, and taken the crowne away from mine head.

$$ JOB 19:10
He hath destroyed mee on euery side and I am gone: and he hath remoued mine hope like a tree.

$$ JOB 19:11
And he hath kindled his wrath against me, and counteth mee as one of his enemies.

$$ JOB 19:12
His armies came together, and made their way vpon me, and camped about my tabernacle.

$$ JOB 19:13
He hath remooued my brethre farre from me, and also mine acquaintance were strangers vnto me.

$$ JOB 19:14
My neighbours haue forsaken me, and my familiars haue forgotten me.

$$ JOB 19:15
They that dwel in mine house, and my maydes tooke me for a stranger: for I was a stranger in their sight.

$$ JOB 19:16
I called my seruant, but he would not answere, though I prayed him with my mouth.

$$ JOB 19:17
My breath was strange vnto my wife, though I prayed her for the childrens sake of mine owne body.

$$ JOB 19:18
The wicked also despised mee, and when I rose, they spake against me.

$$ JOB 19:19
All my secret friends abhorred me, and they whome I loued, are turned against me.

$$ JOB 19:20
My bone cleaueth to my skinne and to my flesh, and I haue escaped with the skinne of my teeth.

$$ JOB 19:21
Haue pitie vpon me: haue pitie vpon me, (O yee my friendes) for the hande of God hath touched me.

$$ JOB 19:22
Why do ye persecute me, as God? and are not satisfied with my flesh?

$$ JOB 19:23
Oh that my wordes were nowe written! oh that they were written euen in a booke,

$$ JOB 19:24
And grauen with an yron pen in lead, or in stone for euer!

$$ JOB 19:25
For I am sure, that my Redeemer liueth, and he shall stand the last on the earth.

$$ JOB 19:26
And though after my skin wormes destroy this bodie, yet shall I see God in my flesh.

$$ JOB 19:27
Whome I my selfe shall see, and mine eyes shall beholde, and none other for me, though my reynes are consumed within me.

$$ JOB 19:28
But yee sayde, Why is hee persecuted? And there was a deepe matter in me.

$$ JOB 19:29
Be ye afraide of the sworde: for the sworde will be auenged of wickednesse, that yee may knowe that there is a iudgement.

$$ JOB 20:1
¶ Then answered Zophar the Naamathite and saide,

$$ JOB 20:2
Doubtlesse my thoughts cause me to answere, and therefore I make haste.

$$ JOB 20:3
I haue heard the correction of my reproch: therefore the spirite of mine vnderstanding causeth me to answere.

$$ JOB 20:4
Knowest thou not this of olde? and since God placed man vpon the earth,

$$ JOB 20:5
That the reioycing of the wicked is short, and that the ioy of hypocrites is but a moment?

$$ JOB 20:6
Though his excellencie mount vp to the heauen, and his head reache vnto the cloudes,

$$ JOB 20:7
Yet shall hee perish for euer, like his dung, and they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is hee?

$$ JOB 20:8
He shall flee away as a dreame, and they shall not finde him, and shall passe away as a vision of the night,

$$ JOB 20:9
So that the eye which had seene him, shall do so no more, and his place shall see him no more.

$$ JOB 20:10
His children shall flatter the poore, and his hands shall restore his substance.

$$ JOB 20:11
His bones are full of the sinne of his youth, and it shall lie downe with him in the dust.

$$ JOB 20:12
When wickednesse was sweete in his mouth, and he hid it vnder his tongue,

$$ JOB 20:13
And fauoured it, and would not forsake it, but kept it close in his mouth,

$$ JOB 20:14
Then his meat in his bowels was turned: the gall of Aspes was in the middes of him.

$$ JOB 20:15
He hath deuoured substance, and hee shall vomit it: for God shall drawe it out of his bellie.

$$ JOB 20:16
He shall sucke the gall of Aspes, and the vipers tongue shall slay him.

$$ JOB 20:17
He shall not see the riuers, nor the floods and streames of honie and butter.

$$ JOB 20:18
He shall restore the labour, and shall deuoure no more: euen according to the substance shalbe his exchange, and he shall enioy it no more.

$$ JOB 20:19
For he hath vndone many: he hath forsaken the poore, and hath spoyled houses which he builded not.

$$ JOB 20:20
Surely he shall feele no quietnes in his bodie, neither shall he reserue of that which he desired.

$$ JOB 20:21
There shall none of his meate bee left: therefore none shall hope for his goods.

$$ JOB 20:22
When he shalbe filled with his abundance, he shalbe in paine, and the hand of all the wicked shall assaile him.

$$ JOB 20:23
He shall be about to fill his belly, but God shall sende vpon him his fierce wrath, and shall cause to rayne vpon him, euen vpon his meate.

$$ JOB 20:24
He shall flee from the yron weapons, and the bow of steele shall strike him through.

$$ JOB 20:25
The arrowe is drawen out, and commeth forth of the body, and shineth of his gall, so feare commeth vpon him.

$$ JOB 20:26
All darkenes shalbe hid in his secret places: the fire that is not blowen, shall deuoure him, and that which remaineth in his tabernacle, shalbe destroyed.

$$ JOB 20:27
The heauen shall declare his wickednes, and the earth shall rise vp against him.

$$ JOB 20:28
The increase of his house shall go away: it shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

$$ JOB 20:29
This is the portion of the wicked man from God, and the heritage that he shall haue of God for his wordes.

$$ JOB 21:1
¶ Bvt Iob answered, and sayd,

$$ JOB 21:2
Heare diligently my wordes, and this shalbe in stead of your consolations.

$$ JOB 21:3
Suffer mee, that I may speake, and when I haue spoken, mocke on.

$$ JOB 21:4
Doe I direct my talke to man? If it were so, how should not my spirit be troubled?

$$ JOB 21:5
Marke mee, and be abashed, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.

$$ JOB 21:6
Euen when I remember, I am afrayde, and feare taketh hold on my flesh.

$$ JOB 21:7
Wherefore do the wicked liue, and waxe olde, and grow in wealth?

$$ JOB 21:8
Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their generation before their eyes.

$$ JOB 21:9
Their houses are peaceable without feare, and the rod of God is not vpon them.

$$ JOB 21:10
Their bullocke gendreth, and fayleth not: their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.

$$ JOB 21:11
They send forth their children like sheepe, and their sonnes dance.

$$ JOB 21:12
They take the tabret and harpe, and reioyce in the sound of the organs.

$$ JOB 21:13
They spend their dayes in wealth, and suddenly they go downe to the graue.

$$ JOB 21:14
They say also vnto God, Depart from vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes.

$$ JOB 21:15
Who is the Almightie, that we should serue him? and what profit should we haue, if we should pray vnto him?

$$ JOB 21:16
Lo, their wealth is not in their hand: therfore let the counsell of the wicked bee farre from me.

$$ JOB 21:17
How oft shall the candle of the wicked be put out? and their destruction come vpon them? he wil deuide their liues in his wrath.

$$ JOB 21:18
They shall be as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away.

$$ JOB 21:19
God wil lay vp the sorowe of the father for his children: when he rewardeth him, hee shall knowe it.

$$ JOB 21:20
His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drinke of the wrath of the Almightie.

$$ JOB 21:21
For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the nomber of his moneths is cut off?

$$ JOB 21:22
Shall any teache God knowledge, who iudgeth the highest things?

$$ JOB 21:23
One dyeth in his full strength, being in all ease and prosperitie.

$$ JOB 21:24
His breasts are full of milke, and his bones runne full of marowe.

$$ JOB 21:25
And another dieth in the bitternes of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure.

$$ JOB 21:26
They shall sleepe both in the dust, and the wormes shall couer them.

$$ JOB 21:27
Behold, I know your thoughts, and the enterprises, wherewith ye do me wrong.

$$ JOB 21:28
For ye say, Where is the princes house? and where is the tabernacle of the wickeds dwelling?

$$ JOB 21:29
May ye not aske the that go by the way? and ye can not deny their signes.

$$ JOB 21:30
But the wicked is kept vnto the day of destruction, and they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

$$ JOB 21:31
Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall reward him for that he hath done?

$$ JOB 21:32
Yet shall he be brought to the graue, and remaine in the heape.

$$ JOB 21:33
The slimie valley shalbe sweete vnto him, and euery man shall draw after him, as before him there were innumerable.

$$ JOB 21:34
How then comfort ye me in vaine, seeing in your answeres there remaine but lyes?

$$ JOB 22:1
¶ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and sayde,

$$ JOB 22:2
May a man be profitable vnto God, as he that is wise, may be profitable to himselfe?

$$ JOB 22:3
Is it any thing vnto the Almightie, that thou art righteous? or is it profitable to him, that thou makest thy wayes vpright?

$$ JOB 22:4
Is it for feare of thee that he will accuse thee? or go with thee into iudgement?

$$ JOB 22:5
Is not thy wickednes great, and thine iniquities innumerable?

$$ JOB 22:6
For thou hast taken the pledge from thy brother for nought, and spoyled the clothes of the naked.

$$ JOB 22:7
To such as were wearie, thou hast not giuen water to drinke, and hast withdrawen bread from the hungrie.

$$ JOB 22:8
But the mightie man had the earth, and he that was in autoritie, dwelt in it.

$$ JOB 22:9
Thou hast cast out widowes emptie, and the armes of the fatherles were broken.

$$ JOB 22:10
Therefore snares are round about thee, and feare shall suddenly trouble thee:

$$ JOB 22:11
Or darkenes that thou shouldest not see, and abundance of waters shall couer thee.

$$ JOB 22:12
Is not God on hie in the heauen? and behold the height of the starres how hie they are.

$$ JOB 22:13
But thou sayest, How should God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude?

$$ JOB 22:14
The cloudes hide him that he can not see, and he walketh in the circle of heauen.

$$ JOB 22:15
Hast thou marked the way of the worlde, wherein wicked men haue walked?

$$ JOB 22:16
Which were cut downe before the time, whose foundation was as a riuer that ouerflowed:

$$ JOB 22:17
Which sayd vnto God, Depart from vs, and asked what the Almightie could do for them.

$$ JOB 22:18
Yet hee filled their houses with good things: but let the counsell of the wicked be farre from me.

$$ JOB 22:19
The righteous shall see them, and shall reioyce, and the innocent shall laugh them to scorne.

$$ JOB 22:20
Surely our substance is hid: but the fire hath deuoured the remnant of them.

$$ JOB 22:21
Therefore acquaint thy selfe, I pray thee, with him, and make peace: thereby thou shalt haue prosperitie.

$$ JOB 22:22
Receiue, I pray thee, the law of his mouth, and lay vp his words in thine heart.

$$ JOB 22:23
If thou returne to the Almightie, thou shalt be buylt vp, and thou shalt put iniquitie farre from thy tabernacle.

$$ JOB 22:24
Thou shalt lay vp golde for dust, and the gold of Ophir, as the flintes of the riuers.

$$ JOB 22:25
Yea, the Almightie shalbe thy defence, and thou shalt haue plentie of siluer.

$$ JOB 22:26
And thou shalt then delite in the Almightie, and lift vp thy face vnto God.

$$ JOB 22:27
Thou shalt make thy praier vnto him, and he shall heare thee, and thou shalt render thy vowes.

$$ JOB 22:28
Thou shalt also decree a thing, and he shall establish it vnto thee, and the light shall shine vpon thy wayes.

$$ JOB 22:29
When others are cast downe, then shalt thou say, I am lifted vp: and God shall saue the humble person.

$$ JOB 22:30
The innocent shall deliuer the yland, and it shalbe preserued by the purenes of thine hands.

$$ JOB 23:1
¶ Bvt Iob answered and sayd,

$$ JOB 23:2
Though my talke be this day in bitternes, and my plague greater then my groning,

$$ JOB 23:3
Would God yet I knew how to finde him, I would enter vnto his place.

$$ JOB 23:4
I would pleade the cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

$$ JOB 23:5
I would knowe the wordes, that he would answere me, and would vnderstand what he would say vnto me.

$$ JOB 23:6
Would he plead against me with his great power? No, but he would put strength in me.

$$ JOB 23:7
There the righteous might reason with him, so I shoulde be deliuered for euer from my Iudge.

$$ JOB 23:8
Behold, if I go to the East, he is not there: if to the West, yet I can not perceiue him:

$$ JOB 23:9
If to the North where he worketh, yet I cannot see him: he wil hide himselfe in the South, and I cannot beholde him.

$$ JOB 23:10
But he knoweth my way, and trieth mee, and I shall come forth like the gold.

$$ JOB 23:11
My foote hath followed his steps: his way haue I kept, and haue not declined.

$$ JOB 23:12
Neyther haue I departed from the commandement of his lippes, and I haue esteemed the words of his mouth more then mine appointed foode.

$$ JOB 23:13
Yet he is in one minde, and who can turne him? yea, he doeth what his minde desireth.

$$ JOB 23:14
For he will performe that, which is decreed of me, and many such things are with him.

$$ JOB 23:15
Therefore I am troubled at his presence, and in considering it, I am afraid of him.

$$ JOB 23:16
For God hath softened mine heart, and the Almightie hath troubled me.

$$ JOB 23:17
For I am not cut off in darknesse, but he hath hid the darkenesse from my face.

$$ JOB 24:1
¶ Howe should not the times be hid from the Almightie, seeing that they which knowe him, see not his dayes?

$$ JOB 24:2
Some remoue the land marks, that rob the flockes and feede thereof.

$$ JOB 24:3
They leade away the asse of the fatherles: and take the widowes oxe to pledge.

$$ JOB 24:4
They make the poore to turne out of the way, so that the poore of the earth hide themselues together.

$$ JOB 24:5
Behold, others as wilde asses in the wildernesse, goe forth to their businesse, and rise early for a praye: the wildernesse giueth him and his children foode.

$$ JOB 24:6
They reape his prouision in the fielde, but they gather the late vintage of the wicked.

$$ JOB 24:7
They cause the naked to lodge without garment, and without couering in the colde.

$$ JOB 24:8
They are wet with the showres of the moutaines, and they imbrace the rocke for want of a couering.

$$ JOB 24:9
They plucke the fatherles from the breast, and take the pledge of the poore.

$$ JOB 24:10
They cause him to go naked without clothing, and take the glening from the hungrie.

$$ JOB 24:11
They that make oyle betweene their walles, and treade their wine presses, suffer thirst.

$$ JOB 24:12
Men cry out of the citie, and the soules of the slayne cry out: yet God doth not charge them with follie.

$$ JOB 24:13
These are they, that abhorre the light: they know not the wayes thereof, nor continue in the paths thereof.

$$ JOB 24:14
The murtherer riseth earely and killeth the poore and the needie: and in the night he is as a theefe.

$$ JOB 24:15
The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, and sayth, None eye shall see me, and disguiseth his face.

$$ JOB 24:16
They digge through houses in the darke, which they marked for themselues in the daye: they knowe not the light.

$$ JOB 24:17
But the morning is euen to them as the shadow of death: if one knowe them, they are in the terrours of the shadowe of death.

$$ JOB 24:18
He is swift vpon the waters: their portion shalbe cursed in the earth: he will not behold the way of the vineyardes.

$$ JOB 24:19
As the dry ground and heate consume the snowe waters, so shall the graue the sinners.

$$ JOB 24:20
The pitifull man shall forget him: the worme shall feele his sweetenes: he shalbe no more remembered, and the wicked shalbe broke like a tree.

$$ JOB 24:21
He doth euil intreat ye barren, that doeth not beare, neither doeth he good to the widowe.

$$ JOB 24:22
He draweth also the mighty by his power, and when he riseth vp, none is sure of life.

$$ JOB 24:23
Though men giue him assurance to be in safetie, yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.

$$ JOB 24:24
They are exalted for a litle, but they are gone, and are brought lowe as all others: they are destroyed, and cut off as the toppe of an eare of corne.

$$ JOB 24:25
But if it be not so, where is he? or who wil proue me a lyer, and make my words of no value?

$$ JOB 25:1
¶ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and sayd,

$$ JOB 25:2
Power and feare is with him, that maketh peace in his hie places.

$$ JOB 25:3
Is there any nomber in his armies? and vpon whom shall not his light arise?

$$ JOB 25:4
And howe may a man be iustified with God? or how can he be cleane, that is borne of woman?

$$ JOB 25:5
Behold, he wil giue no light to the moone, and the starres are vncleane in his sight.

$$ JOB 25:6
How much more man, a worme, euen the sonne of man, which is but a worme?

$$ JOB 26:1
¶ Bvt Iob answered, and sayde,

$$ JOB 26:2
Whom helpest thou? him that hath no power? sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?

$$ JOB 26:3
Whome counsellest thou? him that hath no wisedome? thou shewest right well as the thing is.

$$ JOB 26:4
To whom doest thou declare these words? or whose spirit commeth out of thee?

$$ JOB 26:5
The dead things are formed vnder the waters, and neere vnto them.

$$ JOB 26:6
The graue is naked before him, and there is no couering for destruction.

$$ JOB 26:7
He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.

$$ JOB 26:8
He bindeth the waters in his cloudes, and the cloude is not broken vnder them.

$$ JOB 26:9
He holdeth backe the face of his throne: and spreadeth his cloude vpon it.

$$ JOB 26:10
He hath set bounds about the waters, vntil the day and night come to an ende.

$$ JOB 26:11
The pillars of heauen tremble and quake at his reproofe.

$$ JOB 26:12
The sea is calme by his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth the pride thereof.

$$ JOB 26:13
His Spirite hath garnished the heauens, and his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

$$ JOB 26:14
Loe, these are part of his wayes: but how litle a portion heare we of him? and who can vnderstand his fearefull power?

$$ JOB 27:1
¶ Moreouer Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,

$$ JOB 27:2
The liuing God hath taken away my iudgement: for the Almightie hath put my soule in bitternesse.

$$ JOB 27:3
Yet so long as my breath is in me, and the Spirit of God in my nostrels,

$$ JOB 27:4
My lips surely shall speake no wickednesse, and my tongue shall vtter no deceite.

$$ JOB 27:5
God forbid, that I should iustifie you: vntill I dye, I will neuer take away mine innocencie from my selfe.

$$ JOB 27:6
I will keepe my righteousnesse, and wil not forsake it: mine heart shall not reprooue me of my dayes.

$$ JOB 27:7
Mine enemie shall be as the wicked, and he that riseth against me, as the vnrighteous.

$$ JOB 27:8
For what hope hath the hypocrite when he hath heaped vp riches, if God take away his soule?

$$ JOB 27:9
Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him?

$$ JOB 27:10
Will he set his delight on the Almightie? will he call vpon God at all times?

$$ JOB 27:11
I will teache you what is in the hande of God, and I wil not conceale that which is with the Almightie.

$$ JOB 27:12
Beholde, all ye your selues haue seene it: why then doe you thus vanish in vanitie?

$$ JOB 27:13
This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of tyrants, which they shall receiue of the Almightie.

$$ JOB 27:14
If his children be in great nomber, the sworde shall destroy them, and his posteritie shall not be satisfied with bread.

$$ JOB 27:15
His remnant shall be buried in death, and his widowes shall not weepe.

$$ JOB 27:16
Though he shoulde heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay,

$$ JOB 27:17
He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall deuide the siluer.

$$ JOB 27:18
He buildeth his house as the moth, and as a lodge that the watchman maketh.

$$ JOB 27:19
When the rich man sleepeth, he shall not be gathered to his fathers: they opened their eyes, and he was gone.

$$ JOB 27:20
Terrours shall take him as waters, and a tempest shall cary him away by night.

$$ JOB 27:21
The East winde shall take him away, and he shall depart: and it shall hurle him out of his place.

$$ JOB 27:22
And God shall cast vpon him and not spare, though he would faine flee out of his hand.

$$ JOB 27:23
Euery man shall clap their hands at him, and hisse at him out of their place.

$$ JOB 28:1
¶ The siluer surely hath his veyne, and ye gold his place, where they take it.

$$ JOB 28:2
Yron is taken out of the dust, and brasse is molten out of the stone.

$$ JOB 28:3
God putteth an end to darkenesse, and he tryeth the perfection of all things: he setteth a bond of darkenesse, and of the shadowe of death.

$$ JOB 28:4
The flood breaketh out against the inhabitant, and the waters forgotten of the foote, being higher then man, are gone away.

$$ JOB 28:5
Out of the same earth commeth bread, and vnder it, as it were fire is turned vp.

$$ JOB 28:6
The stones thereof are a place of saphirs, and the dust of it is golde.

$$ JOB 28:7
There is a path which no foule hath knowen, neyther hath the kites eye seene it.

$$ JOB 28:8
The lyons whelpes haue not walked it, nor the lyon passed thereby.

$$ JOB 28:9
He putteth his hand vpon the rockes, and ouerthroweth the mountaines by the rootes.

$$ JOB 28:10
He breaketh riuers in the rockes, and his eye seeth euery precious thing.

$$ JOB 28:11
He bindeth the floods, that they doe not ouerflowe, and the thing that is hid, bringeth he to light.

$$ JOB 28:12
But where is wisdome found? and where is the place of vnderstanding?

$$ JOB 28:13
Man knoweth not the price thereof: for it is not found in the land of the liuing.

$$ JOB 28:14
The depth sayth, It is not in mee: the sea also sayth, It is not with me.

$$ JOB 28:15
Golde shall not be giuen for it, neyther shall siluer be weighed for the price thereof.

$$ JOB 28:16
It shall not be valued with the wedge of golde of Ophir, nor with the precious onix, nor the saphir.

$$ JOB 28:17
The golde nor the chrystall shall be equall vnto it, nor the exchange shalbe for plate of fine golde.

$$ JOB 28:18
No mention shall be made of coral, nor of the gabish: for wisedome is more precious then pearles.

$$ JOB 28:19
The Topaz of Ethiopia shall not be equall vnto it, neither shall it be valued with the wedge of pure gold.

$$ JOB 28:20
Whence then commeth wisedome? and where is the place of vnderstanding,

$$ JOB 28:21
Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all the liuing, and is hid from the foules of the heauen?

$$ JOB 28:22
Destruction and death say, We haue heard the fame thereof with our eares.

$$ JOB 28:23
But God vnderstandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

$$ JOB 28:24
For he beholdeth the endes of the world, and seeth all that is vnder heauen,

$$ JOB 28:25
To make the weight of the windes, and to weigh the waters by measure.

$$ JOB 28:26
When he made a decree for the rayne, and a way for the lightening of the thunders,

$$ JOB 28:27
Then did he see it, and counted it: he prepared it and also considered it.

$$ JOB 28:28
And vnto man he said, Behold, the feare of the Lord is wisedome, and to depart from euil is vnderstanding.

$$ JOB 29:1
¶ So Iob proceeded and continued his parable, saying,

$$ JOB 29:2
Oh that I were as in times past, when God preserued me!

$$ JOB 29:3
When his light shined vpon mine head: and when by his light I walked thorowe the darkenesse,

$$ JOB 29:4
As I was in the dayes of my youth: when Gods prouidence was vpon my tabernacle:

$$ JOB 29:5
When the almightie was yet with me, and my children round about me.

$$ JOB 29:6
When I washed my pathes with butter, and when the rocke powred me out riuers of oyle:

$$ JOB 29:7
When I went out to the gate, euen to the iudgement seat, and when I caused them to prepare my seate in the streete.

$$ JOB 29:8
The yong men saw me, and hid themselues, and the aged arose, and stood vp.

$$ JOB 29:9
The princes stayed talke, and layde their hand on their mouth.

$$ JOB 29:10
The voyce of princes was hidde, and their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their mouth.

$$ JOB 29:11
And when the eare heard me, it blessed me: and when the eye sawe me, it gaue witnesse to me.

$$ JOB 29:12
For I deliuered the poore that cryed, and the fatherlesse, and him that had none to helpe him.

$$ JOB 29:13
The blessing of him that was ready to perish, came vpon me, and I caused the widowes heart to reioyce.

$$ JOB 29:14
I put on iustice, and it couered me: my iudgement was as a robe, and a crowne.

$$ JOB 29:15
I was the eyes to the blinde, and I was the feete to the lame.

$$ JOB 29:16
I was a father vnto the poore, and when I knewe not the cause, I sought it out diligently.

$$ JOB 29:17
I brake also the chawes of the vnrighteous man, and pluckt the praye out of his teeth.

$$ JOB 29:18
Then I sayde, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiplie my dayes as the sand.

$$ JOB 29:19
For my roote is spread out by the water, and the dewe shall lye vpon my branche.

$$ JOB 29:20
My glory shall renue towarde me, and my bowe shall be restored in mine hand.

$$ JOB 29:21
Vnto me men gaue eare, and wayted, and helde their tongue at my counsell.

$$ JOB 29:22
After my wordes they replied not, and my talke dropped vpon them.

$$ JOB 29:23
And they wayted for me, as for the raine, and they opened their mouth as for the latter rayne.

$$ JOB 29:24
If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not: neither did they cause the light of my countenance to fall.

$$ JOB 29:25
I appoynted out their way, and did sit as chiefe, and dwelt as a King in the army, and like him that comforteth the mourners.

$$ JOB 30:1
¶ Bvt now they that are yonger then I, mocke me: yea, they whose fathers I haue refused to set with the dogges of my flockes.

$$ JOB 30:2
For whereto shoulde the strength of their handes haue serued mee, seeing age perished in them?

$$ JOB 30:3
For pouertie and famine they were solitary, fleeing into the wildernes, which is darke, desolate and waste.

$$ JOB 30:4
They cut vp nettels by the bushes, and the iuniper rootes was their meate.

$$ JOB 30:5
They were chased forth from among men: they shouted at them, as at a theefe.

$$ JOB 30:6
Therfore they dwelt in the clefts of riuers, in the holes of the earth and rockes.

$$ JOB 30:7
They roared among the bushes, and vnder the thistles they gathered themselues.

$$ JOB 30:8
They were the children of fooles and the children of villaines, which were more vile then the earth.

$$ JOB 30:9
And now am I their song, and I am their talke.

$$ JOB 30:10
They abhorre me, and flee farre from mee, and spare not to spit in my face.

$$ JOB 30:11
Because that God hath loosed my corde and humbled mee, they haue loosed the bridle before me.

$$ JOB 30:12
The youth rise vp at my right hand: they haue pusht my feete, and haue trode on me as on the paths of their destruction.

$$ JOB 30:13
They haue destroyed my paths: they tooke pleasure at my calamitie, they had none helpe.

$$ JOB 30:14
They came as a great breach of waters, and vnder this calamitie they come on heapes.

$$ JOB 30:15
Feare is turned vpon mee: and they pursue my soule as the winde, and mine health passeth away as a cloude.

$$ JOB 30:16
Therefore my soule is nowe powred out vpon me, and the dayes of affliction haue taken holde on me.

$$ JOB 30:17
It pearceth my bones in the night, and my sinewes take no rest.

$$ JOB 30:18
For the great vehemencie is my garment changed, which compasseth me about as the colar of my coate.

$$ JOB 30:19
He hath cast me into the myre, and I am become like ashes and dust.

$$ JOB 30:20
Whe I cry vnto thee, thou doest not heare me, neither regardest me, when I stand vp.

$$ JOB 30:21
Thou turnest thy selfe cruelly against me, and art enemie vnto mee with the strength of thine hand.

$$ JOB 30:22
Thou takest me vp and causest mee to ride vpon the winde, and makest my strength to faile.

$$ JOB 30:23
Surely I knowe that thou wilt bring mee to death, and to the house appoynted for all the liuing.

$$ JOB 30:24
Doubtles none can stretch his hand vnto the graue, though they cry in his destruction.

$$ JOB 30:25
Did not I weepe with him that was in trouble? was not my soule in heauinesse for the poore?

$$ JOB 30:26
Yet when I looked for good, euill came vnto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkenesse.

$$ JOB 30:27
My bowels did boyle without rest: for the dayes of affliction are come vpon me.

$$ JOB 30:28
I went mourning without sunne: I stood vp in the congregation and cryed.

$$ JOB 30:29
I am a brother to the dragons, and a companion to the ostriches.

$$ JOB 30:30
My skinne is blacke vpon me, and my bones are burnt with heate.

$$ JOB 30:31
Therefore mine harpe is turned to mourning, and mine organs into the voyce of them that weepe.

$$ JOB 31:1
¶ I made a couenant with mine eyes: why then should I thinke on a mayde?

$$ JOB 31:2
For what portion should I haue of God from aboue? and what inheritance of the Almightie from on hie?

$$ JOB 31:3
Is not destruction to the wicked and strange punishment to the workers of iniquitie?

$$ JOB 31:4
Doeth not he beholde my wayes and tell all my steps?

$$ JOB 31:5
If I haue walked in vanitie, or if my foote hath made haste to deceite,

$$ JOB 31:6
Let God weigh me in the iust balance, and he shall know mine vprightnes.

$$ JOB 31:7
If my steppe hath turned out of the way, or mine heart hath walked after mine eye, or if any blot hath cleaued to mine handes,

$$ JOB 31:8
Let me sowe, and let another eate: yea, let my plantes be rooted out.

$$ JOB 31:9
If mine heart hath bene deceiued by a woman, or if I haue layde wayte at the doore of my neighbour,

$$ JOB 31:10
Let my wife grinde vnto another man, and let other men bow downe vpon her:

$$ JOB 31:11
For this is a wickednes, and iniquitie to bee condemned:

$$ JOB 31:12
Yea, this is a fire that shall deuoure to destruction, and which shall roote out al mine increase,

$$ JOB 31:13
If I did contemne the iudgement of my seruant, and of my mayde, when they did contend with me,

$$ JOB 31:14
What then shall I do when God standeth vp? and when he shall visit me, what shall I answere?

$$ JOB 31:15
He that hath made me in the wombe, hath he not made him? hath not he alone facioned vs in the wombe?

$$ JOB 31:16
If I restrained the poore of their desire, or haue caused the eyes of the widow to faile,

$$ JOB 31:17
Or haue eaten my morsels alone, and the fatherles hath not eaten thereof,

$$ JOB 31:18
(For from my youth hee hath growen vp with me as with a father, and from my mothers wombe I haue bene a guide vnto her)

$$ JOB 31:19
If I haue seene any perish for want of clothing, or any poore without couering,

$$ JOB 31:20
If his loynes haue not blessed me, because he was warmed with the fleece of my sheepe,

$$ JOB 31:21
If I haue lift vp mine hande against the fatherlesse, when I saw that I might helpe him in the gate,

$$ JOB 31:22
Let mine arme fal from my shoulder, and mine arme be broken from the bone.

$$ JOB 31:23
For Gods punishment was fearefull vnto me, and I could not be deliuered from his highnes.

$$ JOB 31:24
If I made gold mine hope, or haue sayd to the wedge of golde, Thou art my confidence,

$$ JOB 31:25
If I reioyced because my substance was great, or because mine hand had gotten much,

$$ JOB 31:26
If I did behold the sunne, when it shined, or the moone, walking in her brightnes,

$$ JOB 31:27
If mine heart did flatter me in secrete, or if my mouth did kisse mine hand,

$$ JOB 31:28
(This also had bene an iniquitie to be condemned: for I had denied the God aboue)

$$ JOB 31:29
If I reioyced at his destruction that hated me, or was mooued to ioye when euill came vpon him,

$$ JOB 31:30
Neither haue I suffred my mouth to sinne, by wishing a curse vnto his soule.

$$ JOB 31:31
Did not the men of my Tabernacle say, Who shall giue vs of his flesh? we can not bee satisfied.

$$ JOB 31:32
The stranger did not lodge in the streete, but I opened my doores vnto him, that went by the way.

$$ JOB 31:33
If I haue hid my sinne, as Adam, concealing mine iniquitie in my bosome,

$$ JOB 31:34
Though I could haue made afraid a great multitude, yet the most contemptible of the families did feare me: so I kept silence, and went not out of the doore.

$$ JOB 31:35
Oh that I had some to heare me! beholde my signe that the Almightie will witnesse for me: though mine aduersary should write a booke against me,

$$ JOB 31:36
Woulde not I take it vpon my shoulder, and binde it as a crowne vnto me?

$$ JOB 31:37
I will tell him the nomber of my goings, and goe vnto him as to a prince.

$$ JOB 31:38
If my lande cry against me, or the furrowes thereof complayne together,

$$ JOB 31:39
If I haue eaten the fruites thereof without siluer: or if I haue grieued the soules of the masters thereof,

$$ JOB 31:40
Let thistles growe in steade of wheate, and cockle in the stead of Barley. The wordes of Iob are ended.

$$ JOB 32:1
¶ So these three men ceased to answere Iob, because he esteemed himselfe iust.

$$ JOB 32:2
Then the wrath of Elihu the sonne of Barachel the Buzite, of the familie of Ram, was kindled: his wrath, I say, was kindled against Iob, because he iustified himselfe more then God.

$$ JOB 32:3
Also his anger was kindled against his three friends, because they could not finde an answere, and yet condemned Iob.

$$ JOB 32:4
(Now Elihu had wayted til Iob had spoken: for they were more ancient in yeeres then he)

$$ JOB 32:5
So when Elihu saw, that there was none answere in the mouth of the three men, his wrath was kindled.

$$ JOB 32:6
Therefore Elihu the sonne of Barachel, the Buzite answered, and sayd, I am yong in yeres, and ye are ancient: therefore I doubted, and was afraide to shewe you mine opinion.

$$ JOB 32:7
For I said, The dayes shall speake, and the multitude of yeeres shall teach wisedome.

$$ JOB 32:8
Surely there is a spirite in man, but the inspiration of the Almightie giueth vnderstanding.

$$ JOB 32:9
Great men are not alway wise, neither doe the aged alway vnderstand iudgement.

$$ JOB 32:10
Therefore I say, Heare me, and I will shew also mine opinion.

$$ JOB 32:11
Behold, I did waite vpon your wordes, and hearkened vnto your knowledge, whiles you sought out reasons.

$$ JOB 32:12
Yea, when I had considered you, lo, there was none of you that reproued Iob, nor answered his wordes:

$$ JOB 32:13
Lest ye should say, We haue found wisedome: for God hath cast him downe, and no man.

$$ JOB 32:14
Yet hath he not directed his words to me, neyther will I answere him by your wordes.

$$ JOB 32:15
Then they fearing, answered no more, but left off their talke.

$$ JOB 32:16
When I had wayted (for they spake not, but stood still and answered no more)

$$ JOB 32:17
Then answered I in my turne, and I shewed mine opinion.

$$ JOB 32:18
For I am full of matter, and the spirite within me compelleth me.

$$ JOB 32:19
Beholde, my belly is as the wine, which hath no vent, and like the new bottels that brast.

$$ JOB 32:20
Therefore will I speake, that I may take breath: I will open my lippes, and will answere.

$$ JOB 32:21
I will not now accept the person of man, neyther will I giue titles to man.

$$ JOB 32:22
For I may not giue titles, lest my Maker should take me away suddenly.

$$ JOB 33:1
¶ Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my talke and hearken vnto all my wordes.

$$ JOB 33:2
Beholde now, I haue opened my mouth: my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

$$ JOB 33:3
My words are in the vprightnesse of mine heart, and my lippes shall speake pure knowledge.

$$ JOB 33:4
The Spirite of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life.

$$ JOB 33:5
If thou canst giue me answere, prepare thy selfe and stand before me.

$$ JOB 33:6
Beholde, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I am also formed of the clay.

$$ JOB 33:7
Beholde, my terrour shall not feare thee, neither shall mine hand be heauie vpon thee.

$$ JOB 33:8
Doubtles thou hast spoken in mine eares, and I haue heard the voyce of thy wordes.

$$ JOB 33:9
I am cleane, without sinne: I am innocent, and there is none iniquitie in me.

$$ JOB 33:10
Lo, he hath found occasions against me, and counted me for his enemie.

$$ JOB 33:11
He hath put my feete in the stockes, and looketh narrowly vnto all my paths.

$$ JOB 33:12
Behold, in this hast thou not done right: I will answere thee, that God is greater then man.

$$ JOB 33:13
Why doest thou striue against him? for he doeth not giue account of all his matters.

$$ JOB 33:14
For God speaketh once or twise, and one seeth it not.

$$ JOB 33:15
In dreames and visions of the night, when sleepe falleth vpon men, and they sleepe vpon their beds,

$$ JOB 33:16
Then he openeth the eares of men, euen by their corrections, which he had sealed,

$$ JOB 33:17
That he might cause man to turne away from his enterprise, and that he might hide the pride of man,

$$ JOB 33:18
And keepe backe his soule from the pit, and that his life should not passe by the sword.

$$ JOB 33:19
He is also striken with sorow vpon his bed, and the griefe of his bones is sore,

$$ JOB 33:20
So that his life causeth him to abhorre bread, and his soule daintie meate.

$$ JOB 33:21
His flesh faileth that it can not be seene, and his bones which were not seene, clatter.

$$ JOB 33:22
So his soule draweth to the graue, and his life to the buriers.

$$ JOB 33:23
If there be a messenger with him, or an interpreter, one of a thousand to declare vnto man his righteousnesse,

$$ JOB 33:24
Then will he haue mercie vpon him, and will say, Deliuer him, that he go not downe into the pit: for I haue receiued a reconciliation.

$$ JOB 33:25
Then shall his flesh be as fresh as a childes, and shall returne as in the dayes of his youth.

$$ JOB 33:26
He shall pray vnto God, and he will be fauourable vnto him, and he shall see his face with ioy: for he will render vnto man his righteousnes.

$$ JOB 33:27
He looketh vpon men, and if one say, I haue sinned, and peruerted righteousnesse, and it did not profite me,

$$ JOB 33:28
He will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

$$ JOB 33:29
Lo, all these things will God worke twise or thrise with a man,

$$ JOB 33:30
That he may turne backe his soule from the pit, to be illuminate in the light of the liuing.

$$ JOB 33:31
Marke well, O Iob, and heare me: keepe silence, and I will speake.

$$ JOB 33:32
If there be matter, answere me, and speak: for I desire to iustifie thee.

$$ JOB 33:33
If thou hast not, heare me: holde thy tongue, and I will teach thee wisedome.

$$ JOB 34:1
¶ Moreouer Elihu answered, and saide,

$$ JOB 34:2
Heare my wordes, ye wise men, and hearken vnto me, ye that haue knowledge.

$$ JOB 34:3
For the eare tryeth the words, as the mouth tasteth meate.

$$ JOB 34:4
Let vs seeke iudgement among vs, and let vs knowe among our selues what is good.

$$ JOB 34:5
For Iob hath saide, I am righteous, and God hath taken away my iudgement.

$$ JOB 34:6
Should I lye in my right? my wound of the arrowe is grieuous without my sinne.

$$ JOB 34:7
What man is like Iob, that drinketh scornfulnesse like water?

$$ JOB 34:8
Which goeth in the companie of them that worke iniquitie, and walketh with wicked men?

$$ JOB 34:9
For he hath saide, It profiteth a man nothing that he should walke with God.

$$ JOB 34:10
Therefore hearken vnto me, ye men of wisedome, God forbid that wickednesse should be in God, and iniquitie in the Almightie.

$$ JOB 34:11
For he will render vnto man according to his worke, and cause euery one to finde according to his way.

$$ JOB 34:12
And certainely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almightie peruert iudgement.

$$ JOB 34:13
Whome hath he appointed ouer the earth beside him selfe? or who hath placed the whole worlde?

$$ JOB 34:14
If he set his heart vpon man, and gather vnto him selfe his spirit and his breath,

$$ JOB 34:15
All flesh shall perish together, and man shall returne vnto dust.

$$ JOB 34:16
And if thou hast vnderstanding, heare this and hearken to the voyce of my wordes.

$$ JOB 34:17
Shal he that hateth iudgement, gouerne? and wilt thou iudge him wicked that is most iust?

$$ JOB 34:18
Wilt thou say vnto a King, Thou art wicked? or to princes, Ye are vngodly?

$$ JOB 34:19
How much lesse to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, and regardeth not the rich, more then the poore? for they be all the worke of his handes.

$$ JOB 34:20
They shall die suddenly, and the people shalbe troubled at midnight, and they shall passe foorth and take away the mightie without hand.

$$ JOB 34:21
For his eyes are vpon the wayes of man, and he seeth all his goings.

$$ JOB 34:22
There is no darkenesse nor shadowe of death, that the workers of iniquitie might be hid therein.

$$ JOB 34:23
For he will not lay on man so much, that he should enter into iudgement with God.

$$ JOB 34:24
He shall breake the mightie without seeking, and shall set vp other in their stead.

$$ JOB 34:25
Therefore shall he declare their works: he shall turne the night, and they shalbe destroyed.

$$ JOB 34:26
He striketh them as wicked men in the places of the seers,

$$ JOB 34:27
Because they haue turned backe from him, and would not consider all his wayes:

$$ JOB 34:28
So that they haue caused the voyce of the poore to come vnto him, and he hath heard the cry of the afflicted.

$$ JOB 34:29
And when he giueth quietnesse, who can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who can beholde him, whether it be vpon nations, or vpon a man onely?

$$ JOB 34:30
Because the hypocrite doeth reigne, and because the people are snared.

$$ JOB 34:31
Surely it appertaineth vnto God to say, I haue pardoned, I will not destroy.

$$ JOB 34:32
But if I see not, teach thou me: if I haue done wickedly, I will doe no more.

$$ JOB 34:33
Wil he performe the thing through thee? for thou hast reproued it, because that thou hast chosen, and not I. now speake what thou knowest.

$$ JOB 34:34
Let men of vnderstanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken vnto me.

$$ JOB 34:35
Iob hath not spoken of knowledge, neyther were his wordes according to wisedome.

$$ JOB 34:36
I desire that Iob may be tryed, vnto the ende touching the answeres for wicked men.

$$ JOB 34:37
For he addeth rebellion vnto his sinne: he clappeth his handes among vs, and multiplieth his wordes against God.

$$ JOB 35:1
¶ Elihu spake moreouer, and said,

$$ JOB 35:2
Thinkest thou this right, that thou hast said, I am more righteous then God?

$$ JOB 35:3
For thou hast said, What profiteth it thee and what auaileth it me, to purge me from my sinne?

$$ JOB 35:4
Therefore will I answere thee, and thy companions with thee.

$$ JOB 35:5
Looke vnto the heauen, and see and behold the cloudes which are hyer then thou.

$$ JOB 35:6
If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him, yea, when thy sinnes be many, what doest thou vnto him?

$$ JOB 35:7
If thou be righteous, what giuest thou vnto him? or what receiueth he at thine hand?

$$ JOB 35:8
Thy wickednesse may hurt a man as thou art: and thy righteousnes may profite ye sonne of man.

$$ JOB 35:9
They cause many that are oppressed, to crye, which crye out for ye violence of the mightie.

$$ JOB 35:10
But none saieth, Where is God that made me, which giueth songs in the nyght?

$$ JOB 35:11
Which teacheth vs more then the beastes of the earth, and giueth vs more wisdome then the foules of the heauen.

$$ JOB 35:12
Then they crye because of the violence of the wicked, but he answereth not.

$$ JOB 35:13
Surely God will not heare vanitie, neyther will the Almightie regard it.

$$ JOB 35:14
Although thou sayest to God, Thou wilt not regard it, yet iudgement is before him: trust thou in him.

$$ JOB 35:15
But nowe because his anger hath not visited, nor called to count the euill with great extremitie,

$$ JOB 35:16
Therfore Iob openeth his mouth in vaine, and multiplieth wordes without knowledge.

$$ JOB 36:1
¶ Elihu also proceeded and sayde,

$$ JOB 36:2
Suffer me a litle, and I will instruct thee: for I haue yet to speake on Gods behalfe.

$$ JOB 36:3
I will fetche my knowledge afarre off, and will attribute righteousnes vnto my Maker.

$$ JOB 36:4
For truely my wordes shall not be false, and he that is perfect in knowledge, speaketh with thee.

$$ JOB 36:5
Behold, the mighty God casteth away none that is mighty and valiant of courage.

$$ JOB 36:6
He mainteineth not the wicked, but he giueth iudgement to the afflicted.

$$ JOB 36:7
He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but they are with Kings in ye throne, where he placeth them for euer: thus they are exalted.

$$ JOB 36:8
And if they bee bound in fetters and tyed with the cordes of affliction,

$$ JOB 36:9
Then will he shewe them their worke and their sinnes, because they haue bene proude.

$$ JOB 36:10
He openeth also their eare to discipline, and commandeth them that they returne from iniquity.

$$ JOB 36:11
If they obey and serue him, they shall end their dayes in prosperity, and their yeres in pleasures.

$$ JOB 36:12
But if they wil not obey, they shall passe by the sworde, and perish without knowledge.

$$ JOB 36:13
But the hypocrites of heart increase the wrath: for they call not when he bindeth them.

$$ JOB 36:14
Their soule dyeth in youth, and their life among the whoremongers.

$$ JOB 36:15
He deliuereth the poore in his affliction, and openeth their eare in trouble.

$$ JOB 36:16
Euen so woulde he haue taken thee out of the streight place into a broade place and not shut vp beneath: and that which resteth vpon thy table, had bene full of fat.

$$ JOB 36:17
But thou art ful of the iudgement of the wicked, though iudgement and equitie maintaine all things.

$$ JOB 36:18
For Gods wrath is, least hee should take that away in thine abundance: for no multitude of giftes can deliuer thee.

$$ JOB 36:19
Wil he regard thy riches? he regardeth not golde, nor all them that excel in strength.

$$ JOB 36:20
Be not carefull in the night, howe he destroyeth the people out of their place.

$$ JOB 36:21
Take thou heede: looke not to iniquitie: for thou hast chosen it rather then affliction.

$$ JOB 36:22
Beholde, God exalteth by his power: what teacher is like him?

$$ JOB 36:23
Who hath appointed to him his way? or who can say, Thou hast done wickedly?

$$ JOB 36:24
Remember that thou magnifie his worke, which men behold.

$$ JOB 36:25
All men see it, and men beholde it afarre off.

$$ JOB 36:26
Beholde, God is excellent, and we knowe him not, neither can the nomber of his yeres bee searched out.

$$ JOB 36:27
When he restraineth the droppes of water, the rayne powreth down by the vapour thereof,

$$ JOB 36:28
Which raine the cloudes do droppe and let fall abundantly vpon man.

$$ JOB 36:29
Who can know the diuisions of ye clouds and the thunders of his tabernacle?

$$ JOB 36:30
Beholde, he spreadeth his light vpon it, and couereth the bottome of the sea.

$$ JOB 36:31
For thereby hee iudgeth the people, and giueth meate abundantly.

$$ JOB 36:32
He couereth the light with the clouds, and commandeth them to go against it.

$$ JOB 36:33
His companion sheweth him thereof, and there is anger in rising vp.

$$ JOB 37:1
¶ At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.

$$ JOB 37:2
Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.

$$ JOB 37:3
He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.

$$ JOB 37:4
After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.

$$ JOB 37:5
God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.

$$ JOB 37:6
For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.

$$ JOB 37:7
With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.

$$ JOB 37:8
Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.

$$ JOB 37:9
The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.

$$ JOB 37:10
At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.

$$ JOB 37:11
He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.

$$ JOB 37:12
And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:

$$ JOB 37:13
Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.

$$ JOB 37:14
Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.

$$ JOB 37:15
Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

$$ JOB 37:16
Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?

$$ JOB 37:17
Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?

$$ JOB 37:18
Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?

$$ JOB 37:19
Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.

$$ JOB 37:20
Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?

$$ JOB 37:21
And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.

$$ JOB 37:22
The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.

$$ JOB 37:23
It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.

$$ JOB 37:24
Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.

$$ JOB 38:1
¶ Then answered the Lord vnto Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,

$$ JOB 38:2
Who is this that darkeneth the counsell by wordes without knowledge?

$$ JOB 38:3
Girde vp nowe thy loynes like a man: I will demande of thee and declare thou vnto me.

$$ JOB 38:4
Where wast thou when I layd the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast vnderstanding,

$$ JOB 38:5
Who hath layde the measures thereof, if thou knowest, or who hath stretched the line ouer it:

$$ JOB 38:6
Whereupon are the foundations thereof set: or who layed the corner stone thereof:

$$ JOB 38:7
When the starres of the morning praysed me together, and all the children of God reioyced:

$$ JOB 38:8
Or who hath shut vp the Sea with doores, when it yssued and came foorth as out of the wombe:

$$ JOB 38:9
When I made the cloudes as a couering thereof, and darkenesse as the swadeling bands thereof:

$$ JOB 38:10
When I stablished my commandement vpon it, and set barres and doores,

$$ JOB 38:11
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no farther, and here shall it stay thy proude waues.

$$ JOB 38:12
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy dayes? hast thou caused the morning to knowe his place,

$$ JOB 38:13
That it might take hold of the corners of the earth, and that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

$$ JOB 38:14
It is turned as clay to facion, and all stand vp as a garment.

$$ JOB 38:15
And from the wicked their light shall be taken away, and the hie arme shalbe broken.

$$ JOB 38:16
Hast thou entred into the bottomes of the sea? or hast thou walked to seeke out the depth?

$$ JOB 38:17
Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? or hast thou seene the gates of the shadowe of death?

$$ JOB 38:18
Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? tell if thou knowest all this.

$$ JOB 38:19
Where is the way where light dwelleth? and where is the place of darkenesse,

$$ JOB 38:20
That thou shouldest receiue it in the boundes thereof, and that thou shouldest knowe the paths to the house thereof?

$$ JOB 38:21
Knewest thou it, because thou wast then borne, and because the nomber of thy dayes is great?

$$ JOB 38:22
Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seene the treasures of ye haile,

$$ JOB 38:23
Which I haue hid against the time of trouble, against the day of warre and battell?

$$ JOB 38:24
By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the East winde vpon the earth?

$$ JOB 38:25
Who hath deuided the spowtes for the raine? or the way for the lightning of ye thunders,

$$ JOB 38:26
To cause it to raine on the earth where no man is, and in the wildernes where there is no man?

$$ JOB 38:27
To fulfil the wilde and waste place, and to cause the bud of the herbe to spring forth?

$$ JOB 38:28
Who is the father of the rayne? or who hath begotten the droppes of the dewe?

$$ JOB 38:29
Out of whose wombe came the yee? who hath ingendred the frost of the heauen?

$$ JOB 38:30
The waters are hid as with a stone: and the face of the depth is frosen.

$$ JOB 38:31
Canst thou restraine the sweete influences of the Pleiades? or loose the bandes of Orion?

$$ JOB 38:32
Canst thou bring foorth Mazzaroth in their time? canst thou also guide Arcturus with his sonnes?

$$ JOB 38:33
Knowest thou the course of heauen, or canst thou set the rule thereof in the earth?

$$ JOB 38:34
Canst thou lift vp thy voice to the cloudes that the aboundance of water may couer thee?

$$ JOB 38:35
Canst thou sende the lightenings that they may walke, and say vnto thee, Loe, heere we are?

$$ JOB 38:36
Who hath put wisedome in the reines? or who hath giuen the heart vnderstanding?

$$ JOB 38:37
Who can nomber cloudes by wisedome? or who can cause to cease the bottels of heaue,

$$ JOB 38:38
When the earth groweth into hardnesse, and the clottes are fast together?

$$ JOB 39:1
¶ Wilt thou hunt the pray for the lyon? or fill the appetite of the lyons whelpes,

$$ JOB 39:2
When they couch in their places, and remaine in the couert to lye in waite?

$$ JOB 39:3
Who prepareth for the rauen his meate, when his birdes crie vnto God, wandering for lacke of meate?

$$ JOB 39:4
Knowest thou the time when the wilde goates bring foorth yong? or doest thou marke when the hindes doe calue?

$$ JOB 39:5
Canst thou nomber the moneths that they fulfill? or knowest thou the time when they bring foorth?

$$ JOB 39:6
They bow them selues: they bruise their yong and cast out their sorowes.

$$ JOB 39:7
Yet their yong waxe fatte, and growe vp with corne: they goe foorth and returne not vnto them.

$$ JOB 39:8
Who hath set the wilde asse at libertie? or who hath loosed the bondes of the wilde asse?

$$ JOB 39:9
It is I which haue made the wildernesse his house, and the salt places his dwellings.

$$ JOB 39:10
He derideth the multitude of the citie: he heareth not the crie of the driuer.

$$ JOB 39:11
He seeketh out the mountaine for his pasture, and searcheth after euery greene thing.

$$ JOB 39:12
Will the vnicorne serue thee? or will he tary by thy cribbe?

$$ JOB 39:13
Canst thou binde the vnicorne with his band to labour in the furrowe? or will he plowe the valleyes after thee?

$$ JOB 39:14
Wilt thou trust in him, because his strength is great, and cast off thy labour vnto him?

$$ JOB 39:15
Wilt thou beleeue him, that he will bring home thy seede, and gather it vnto thy barne?

$$ JOB 39:16
Hast thou giuen the pleasant wings vnto the peacockes? or winges and feathers vnto the ostriche?

$$ JOB 39:17
Which leaueth his egges in the earth, and maketh them hote in the dust,

$$ JOB 39:18
And forgetteth that the foote might scatter the, or that the wild beast might breake the.

$$ JOB 39:19
He sheweth himselfe cruell vnto his yong ones, as they were not his, and is without feare, as if he trauailed in vaine.

$$ JOB 39:20
For God had depriued him of wisedom, and hath giuen him no part of vnderstanding.

$$ JOB 39:21
When time is, he mounteth on hie: he mocketh the horse and his rider.

$$ JOB 39:22
Hast thou giuen the horse strength? or couered his necke with neying?

$$ JOB 39:23
Hast thou made him afraid as the grashopper? his strong neying is fearefull.

$$ JOB 39:24
He diggeth in the valley, and reioyceth in his strength: he goeth foorth to meete the harnest man.

$$ JOB 39:25
He mocketh at feare, and is not afraid, and turneth not backe from the sworde,

$$ JOB 39:26
Though the quiuer rattle against him, the glittering speare and the shield.

$$ JOB 39:27
He swalloweth the ground for fearcenes and rage, and he beleeueth not that it is the noise of the trumpet.

$$ JOB 39:28
He sayth among the trumpets, Ha, ha: hee smellleth the battell afarre off, and the noyse of the captaines, and the shouting.

$$ JOB 39:29
Shall the hauke flie by thy wisedome, stretching out his wings toward the South?

$$ JOB 39:30
Doeth the eagle mount vp at thy commandement, or make his nest on hie?

$$ JOB 39:31
Shee abideth and remaineth in the rocke, euen vpon the toppe of the rocke, and the tower.

$$ JOB 39:32
From thence she spieth for meate, and her eyes beholde afarre off.

$$ JOB 39:33
His young ones also sucke vp blood: and where the slaine are, there is she.

$$ JOB 39:34
Moreouer ye Lord spake vnto Iob, and said,

$$ JOB 39:35
Is this to learne to striue with the Almightie? he that reprooueth God, let him answere to it.

$$ JOB 39:36
Then Iob answered the Lord, saying,

$$ JOB 39:37
Beholde, I am vile: what shall I answere thee? I will lay mine hand vpon my mouth.

$$ JOB 39:38
Once haue I spoken, but I will answere no more, yea twise, but I will proceede no further.

$$ JOB 40:1
¶ Againe the Lord answered Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,

$$ JOB 40:2
Girde vp now thy loynes like a man: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.

$$ JOB 40:3
Wilt thou disanul my iudgement? or wilt thou condemne me, that thou mayst be iustified?

$$ JOB 40:4
Or hast thou an arme like God? or doest thou thunder with a voyce like him?

$$ JOB 40:5
Decke thy selfe now with maiestie and excellencie, and aray thy selfe with beautie and glory.

$$ JOB 40:6
Cast abroad the indignation of thy wrath, and beholde euery one that is proude, and abase him.

$$ JOB 40:7
Looke on euery one that is arrogant, and bring him lowe: and destroy the wicked in their place.

$$ JOB 40:8
Hide them in the dust together, and binde their faces in a secret place.

$$ JOB 40:9
Then will I confesse vnto thee also, that thy right hand can saue thee.

$$ JOB 40:10
Behold now Behemoth (whom I made with thee) which eateth grasse as an oxe.

$$ JOB 40:11
Behold now, his strength is in his loynes, and his force is in the nauil of his belly.

$$ JOB 40:12
When hee taketh pleasure, his taile is like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapt together.

$$ JOB 40:13
His bones are like staues of brasse, and his small bones like staues of yron.

$$ JOB 40:14
He is the chiefe of the wayes of God: he that made him, will make his sworde to approch vnto him.

$$ JOB 40:15
Surely the mountaines bring him foorth grasse, where all the beastes of the fielde play.

$$ JOB 40:16
Lyeth hee vnder the trees in the couert of the reede and fennes?

$$ JOB 40:17
Can the trees couer him with their shadow? or can the willowes of the riuer compasse him about?

$$ JOB 40:18
Behold, he spoyleth the riuer, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw vp Iorden into his mouth.

$$ JOB 40:19
Hee taketh it with his eyes, and thrusteth his nose through whatsoeuer meeteth him.

$$ JOB 40:20
Canst thou drawe out Liuiathan with an hooke, and with a line which thou shalt cast downe vnto his tongue?

$$ JOB 40:21
Canst thou cast an hooke into his nose? canst thou perce his iawes with an angle?

$$ JOB 40:22
Will he make many prayers vnto thee, or speake thee faire?

$$ JOB 40:23
Will hee make a couenant with thee? and wilt thou take him as a seruant for euer?

$$ JOB 40:24
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bynd him for thy maydes?

$$ JOB 40:25
Shall the companions baket with him? shall they deuide him among the marchants?

$$ JOB 40:26
Canst thou fill the basket with his skinne? or the fishpanier with his head?

$$ JOB 40:27
Lay thine hand vpon him: remember the battel, and do no more so.

$$ JOB 40:28
Behold, his hope is in vaine: for shall not one perish euen at the sight of him?

$$ JOB 41:1
¶ None is so fearce that dare stirre him vp. Who is he then that can stand before me?

$$ JOB 41:2
Who hath preuented mee that I shoulde make an ende? Al vnder heauen is mine.

$$ JOB 41:3
I will not keepe silence concerning his partes, nor his power nor his comely proportion.

$$ JOB 41:4
Who can discouer the face of his garmet? or who shall come to him with a double bridle?

$$ JOB 41:5
Who shall open the doores of his face? his teeth are fearefull round about.

$$ JOB 41:6
The maiestie of his scales is like strog shields, and are sure sealed.

$$ JOB 41:7
One is set to another, that no winde can come betweene them.

$$ JOB 41:8
One is ioyned to another: they sticke together, that they cannot be sundered.

$$ JOB 41:9
His niesings make the light to shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

$$ JOB 41:10
Out of his mouth go lampes, and sparkes of fire leape out.

$$ JOB 41:11
Out of his nostrels commeth out smoke, as out of a boyling pot or caldron.

$$ JOB 41:12
His breath maketh the coales burne: for a flame goeth out of his mouth.

$$ JOB 41:13
In his necke remayneth strength, and labour is reiected before his face.

$$ JOB 41:14
The members of his bodie are ioyned: they are strong in themselues, and cannot be mooued.

$$ JOB 41:15
His heart is as strong as a stone, and as hard as the nether milstone.

$$ JOB 41:16
The mightie are afrayd of his maiestie, and for feare they faint in themselues.

$$ JOB 41:17
When the sword doeth touch him, he will not rise vp, nor for the speare, dart nor habergeon.

$$ JOB 41:18
He esteemeth yron as strawe, and brasse as rotten wood.

$$ JOB 41:19
The archer canot make him flee: ye stones of the sling are turned into stubble vnto him:

$$ JOB 41:20
The dartes are counted as strawe: and hee laugheth at the shaking of the speare.

$$ JOB 41:21
Sharpe stones are vnder him, and he spreadeth sharpe things vpon the myre.

$$ JOB 41:22
He maketh the depth to boyle like a pot, and maketh the sea like a pot of oyntment.

$$ JOB 41:23
He maketh a path to shine after him: one would thinke the depth as an hoare head.

$$ JOB 41:24
In the earth there is none like him: hee is made without feare.

$$ JOB 41:25
He beholdeth al hie things: he is a King ouer all the children of pride.

$$ JOB 42:1
¶ Then Iob answered the Lord, and sayd,

$$ JOB 42:2
I knowe that thou canst doe all things, and that there is no thought hidde from thee.

$$ JOB 42:3
Who is hee that hideth counsell without knowledge? therefore haue I spoken that I vnderstood not, euen things too wonderfull for me, and which I knew not.

$$ JOB 42:4
Heare, I beseech thee, and I will speake: I will demaunde of thee, and declare thou vnto me.

$$ JOB 42:5
I haue heard of thee by the hearing of the eare, but now mine eye seeth thee.

$$ JOB 42:6
Therefore I abhorre my selfe, and repent in dust and ashes.

$$ JOB 42:7
Now after that the Lord had spoken these wordes vnto Iob, ye Lord also said vnto Eliphaz ye Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for yee haue not spoken of me the thing that is right, like my seruant Iob.

$$ JOB 42:8
Therefore take vnto you nowe seuen bullockes, and seuen rammes, and go to my seruant Iob, and offer vp for your selues a burnt offring, and my seruant Iob shall pray for you: for I wil accept him, least I should put you to shame, because ye haue not spoken of me the thing, which is right, like my seruant Iob.

$$ JOB 42:9
So Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the Lord had saide vnto them, and the Lord accepted Iob.

$$ JOB 42:10
Then the Lord turned the captiuitie of Iob, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gaue Iob twise so much as he had before.

$$ JOB 42:11
Then came vnto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had bene of his acquaintance before, and did eate bread with him in his house, and had compassion of him, and comforted him for al the euil, that the Lord had brought vpon him, and euery man gaue him a piece of money, and euery one an earing of golde.

$$ JOB 42:12
So the Lord blessed the last dayes of Iob more then the first: for he had foureteene thousand sheepe, and sixe thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand shee asses.

$$ JOB 42:13
He had also seue sonnes, and three daughters.

$$ JOB 42:14
And he called the name of one Iemimah, and the name of the seconde Keziah, and the name of the third Keren-happuch.

$$ JOB 42:15
In all the lande were no women found so faire as the daughters of Iob, and their father gaue them inheritaunce among their brethren.

$$ JOB 42:16
And after this liued Iob an hundreth and fourtie yeres, and sawe his sonnes, and his sonnes sonnes, euen foure generations.

$$ JOB 42:17
So Iob dyed, being old, and full of dayes.
