12874 | JOB 1:1 | In the land of Uz lived a man whose name was Job. He was an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil. |
12876 | JOB 1:3 | His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she-asses, and a great number of servants; so that he was the greatest of all the inhabitants of the East. |
12878 | JOB 1:5 | And when the days of their feasting had gone round, Job used to send for them and sanctify them, and to rise up early in the morning and offer burnt-offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually. |
12879 | JOB 1:6 | Now on a certain day the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them. |
12881 | JOB 1:8 | And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil? |
12882 | JOB 1:9 | Then Satan answered Jehovah, Is it for nought that Job feareth God? |
12885 | JOB 1:12 | And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; but upon him lay not thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah. |
12886 | JOB 1:13 | Now on a certain day the sons and daughters of Job were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house, |
12887 | JOB 1:14 | when a messenger came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them, |
12888 | JOB 1:15 | and the Sabaeans fell upon them, and took them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. |
12889 | JOB 1:16 | While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. |
12890 | JOB 1:17 | While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldaeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and carried them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee. |
12891 | JOB 1:18 | While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house; |
12893 | JOB 1:20 | Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped; |
12894 | JOB 1:21 | and said, Naked came I forth from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah! |
12895 | JOB 1:22 | In all this Job sinned not, nor uttered vain words against God. |
12896 | JOB 2:1 | Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah. |
12898 | JOB 2:3 | Then said Jehovah to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him upon the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst excite me against him to destroy him without a cause. |
12900 | JOB 2:5 | But put forth now thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and to thy face will he renounce thee. |
12901 | JOB 2:6 | And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; but spare his life. |
12902 | JOB 2:7 | Then Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his crown. |
12905 | JOB 2:10 | But he said to her, Thou talkest like one of the foolish women. What! shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this, Job sinned not with his lips. |
12906 | JOB 2:11 | Now three friends of Job heard of all this evil that had come upon him, and came each one from his home; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had agreed to come to mourn with him, and to comfort him. |
12909 | JOB 3:1 | At length Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth. |
12910 | JOB 3:2 | And Job spake and said: |
12911 | JOB 3:3 | Perish the day in which I was born, and the night which said, “A man-child is conceived!” |
12912 | JOB 3:4 | Let that day be darkness; Let not God seek it from above; Yea, let not the light shine upon it! |
12914 | JOB 3:6 | As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months! |
12915 | JOB 3:7 | O let that night be unfruitful! Let there be in it no voice of joy; |
12917 | JOB 3:9 | Let the stars of its twilight be darkened; Let it long for light, and have none; Neither let it see the eyelashes of the morning! |
12918 | JOB 3:10 | Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, And hid not trouble from mine eyes. |
12919 | JOB 3:11 | Why died I not at my birth? Why did I not expire when I came forth from the womb? |
12920 | JOB 3:12 | Why did the knees receive me, And why the breasts, that I might suck? |
12921 | JOB 3:13 | For now should I lie down and be quiet; I should sleep; then should I be at rest, |
12922 | JOB 3:14 | With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up for themselves—ruins! |
12924 | JOB 3:16 | Or, as a hidden untimely birth, I had perished; As infants which never saw the light. |
12925 | JOB 3:17 | There the wicked cease from troubling; There the weary are at rest. |
12928 | JOB 3:20 | Why giveth He light to him that is in misery, And life to the bitter in soul, |
12932 | JOB 3:24 | For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groans are poured out like water. |
12936 | JOB 4:2 | If one attempt a word with thee, wilt thou be offended? But who can refrain from speaking? |
12937 | JOB 4:3 | Behold, thou hast admonished many; Thou hast strengthened feeble hands; |
12938 | JOB 4:4 | Thy words have upheld him that was falling, And thou hast given strength to feeble knees. |
12941 | JOB 4:7 | Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? Or where have the righteous been cut off? |
12943 | JOB 4:9 | By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of his nostrils they are consumed. |
12944 | JOB 4:10 | The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken. |
12945 | JOB 4:11 | The fierce lion perisheth for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad. |
12946 | JOB 4:12 | A word was once secretly brought to me, And mine ear caught a whisper thereof. |
12948 | JOB 4:14 | A fear and a horror came upon me, Which made all my bones to shake. |
12949 | JOB 4:15 | Then a spirit passed before my face, The hair of my flesh rose on end; |
12950 | JOB 4:16 | It stood still, but its form I could not discern; An image was before mine eyes; There was silence, and I heard a voice: |
12951 | JOB 4:17 | “Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall man be more pure than his Maker? |
12953 | JOB 4:19 | What then are they who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who crumble to pieces, as if moth-eaten! |
12955 | JOB 4:21 | The excellency that is in them is torn away; They die before they have become wise.” |
12958 | JOB 5:3 | I have seen an impious man taking root, But soon I cursed his habitation. |
12960 | JOB 5:5 | His harvest the hungry devour, Carrying it even through the thorns; And a snare gapeth after his substance. |
12961 | JOB 5:6 | For affliction cometh not from the dust, Nor doth trouble spring up from the ground; |
12962 | JOB 5:7 | Behold, man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward. |
12964 | JOB 5:9 | Who doeth great things and unsearchable; Yea, marvellous things without number; |
12968 | JOB 5:13 | Who taketh the wise in their own craftiness, And bringeth to nought the counsel of the artful. |
12973 | JOB 5:18 | For he bruiseth, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole. |
12974 | JOB 5:19 | In six troubles will he deliver thee; Yea, in seven shall no evil touch thee. |
12976 | JOB 5:21 | Thou shalt be safe from the scourge of the tongue, And shalt not be afraid of destruction, when it cometh. |
12977 | JOB 5:22 | At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, And of the wild beasts of the land shalt thou not be afraid. |
12978 | JOB 5:23 | For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; Yea, the beasts of the forest shall be at peace with thee. |
12979 | JOB 5:24 | Thou shalt find that thy tent is in peace; Thou shalt visit thy dwelling, and not be disappointed. |
12983 | JOB 6:1 | Then Job answered and said: |
12984 | JOB 6:2 | O that my grief were weighed thoroughly! That my calamities were put together in the balance! |
12985 | JOB 6:3 | Surely they would be heavier than the sand of the sea; On this account were my words rash. |
12987 | JOB 6:5 | Doth the wild ass bray in the midst of grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder? |
12988 | JOB 6:6 | Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg? |
12989 | JOB 6:7 | That which my soul abhorreth to touch Hath become my loathsome food. |
12992 | JOB 6:10 | Yet it should still be my consolation, Yea, in unsparing anguish I would exult, That I have not denied the commands of the Holy One. |
