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. |
12875 | JOB 1:2 | He had seven sons and three daughters. |
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. |
12877 | JOB 1:4 | Now it was the custom of his sons to make a feast in their houses, each on his day, and to send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. |
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. |
12880 | JOB 1:7 | And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it. |
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? |
12884 | JOB 1:11 | But only put forth thy hand, and touch whatever he possesseth, and to thy face will he renounce thee. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
12897 | JOB 2:2 | And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it. |
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. |
12899 | JOB 2:4 | And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life. |
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. |
12907 | JOB 2:12 | And they lifted up their eyes at a distance, and knew him not; then they raised their voices and wept, and rent each one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven. |
12908 | JOB 2:13 | And they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word to him; for they saw that his grief was very great. |
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! |
12913 | JOB 3:5 | Let darkness and the shadow of death redeem it; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let whatever darkeneth the day terrify it! |
12915 | JOB 3:7 | O let that night be unfruitful! Let there be in it no voice of joy; |
12916 | JOB 3:8 | Let them that curse the day curse it, Who are skilful to stir up the leviathan! |
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! |
12920 | JOB 3:12 | Why did the knees receive me, And why the breasts, that I might suck? |
12922 | JOB 3:14 | With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up for themselves—ruins! |
12923 | JOB 3:15 | Or with princes that had gold, And filled their houses with silver; |
12924 | JOB 3:16 | Or, as a hidden untimely birth, I had perished; As infants which never saw the light. |
12926 | JOB 3:18 | There the prisoners rest together; They hear not the voice of the oppressor. |
12927 | JOB 3:19 | The small and the great are there, And the servant is free from his master. |
12928 | JOB 3:20 | Why giveth He light to him that is in misery, And life to the bitter in soul, |
12930 | JOB 3:22 | Who rejoice exceedingly, Yea, exult, when they can find a grave? |
12931 | JOB 3:23 | Why is light given to a man from whom the way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in? |
12933 | JOB 3:25 | For that which I dread overtaketh me; That at which I shudder cometh upon me. |
12934 | JOB 3:26 | I have no peace, nor quiet, nor respite: Misery cometh upon me continually. |
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? |
12942 | JOB 4:8 | According to what I have seen, they who plough iniquity, And sow mischief, reap the same. |
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. |
12947 | JOB 4:13 | Amid thoughts from visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, |
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: |
12954 | JOB 4:20 | Between morning and evening are they destroyed; They perish for ever, and none regardeth it. |
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. |
12959 | JOB 5:4 | His children are far from safety; They are oppressed at the gate, and there is none to deliver them. |
12960 | JOB 5:5 | His harvest the hungry devour, Carrying it even through the thorns; And a snare gapeth after his substance. |
12964 | JOB 5:9 | Who doeth great things and unsearchable; Yea, marvellous things without number; |
12965 | JOB 5:10 | Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth water upon the fields; |
12967 | JOB 5:12 | Who disappointeth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprises; |
12970 | JOB 5:15 | So he saveth the persecuted from their mouth; The oppressed from the hand of the mighty. |
12974 | JOB 5:19 | In six troubles will he deliver thee; Yea, in seven shall no evil touch thee. |
12979 | JOB 5:24 | Thou shalt find that thy tent is in peace; Thou shalt visit thy dwelling, and not be disappointed. |
12981 | JOB 5:26 | Thou shalt come to thy grave in full age, As a shock of corn gathered in its season. |
12982 | JOB 5:27 | Lo! this we have searched out; so it is: Hear it, and lay it up in thy mind! |
12985 | JOB 6:3 | Surely they would be heavier than the sand of the sea; On this account were my words rash. |
12986 | JOB 6:4 | For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; Their poison drinketh up my spirit; The terrors of God set themselves in array against me. |
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? |
12990 | JOB 6:8 | O that I might have my request, And that God would grant me that which I long for! |
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. |
12995 | JOB 6:13 | Alas, there is no help within me! Deliverance is driven from me! |
12997 | JOB 6:15 | But my brethren are faithless like a brook; Like streams of the valley that pass away; |
12999 | JOB 6:17 | As soon as they flow forth, they vanish; When the heat cometh, they are dried up from their place. |
