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?
12883	JOB 1:10	Hast thou not placed a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all his possessions? Thou hast prospered the work of his hands, and his herds are greatly increased in the land.
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.
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;
12892	JOB 1:19	and, lo! there came a great wind from the desert, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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.
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.
12903	JOB 2:8	And he took a potsherd to scrape himself withal, and sat down among the ashes.
12904	JOB 2:9	Then said his wife to him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Renounce God, and die.
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.
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!
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!
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;
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!
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!
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.
12925	JOB 3:17	There the wicked cease from troubling; There the weary are at rest.
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,
12929	JOB 3:21	Who long for death, and it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;
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?
12932	JOB 3:24	For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groans are poured out like water.
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.
12935	JOB 4:1	Then spake Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
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.
12939	JOB 4:5	But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art confounded!
12940	JOB 4:6	Is not thy fear of God thy hope, And the uprightness of thy ways thy confidence?
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.
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.
12947	JOB 4:13	Amid thoughts from visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men,
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?
12952	JOB 4:18	Behold, he putteth no trust in his ministering spirits, And his angels he chargeth with frailty.
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!
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.”
12956	JOB 5:1	Call now, see if any will answer thee! And to which of the holy ones wilt thou look?
12957	JOB 5:2	Verily grief destroyeth the fool, And wrath consumeth the weak man.
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.
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.
12963	JOB 5:8	I would look to God, And to God would I commit my cause,
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;
12966	JOB 5:11	Who placeth the lowly in high places, And restoreth the afflicted to prosperity;
12967	JOB 5:12	Who disappointeth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprises;
12968	JOB 5:13	Who taketh the wise in their own craftiness, And bringeth to nought the counsel of the artful.
12969	JOB 5:14	They meet with darkness in the daytime; They grope at noon as if it were night.
12970	JOB 5:15	So he saveth the persecuted from their mouth; The oppressed from the hand of the mighty.
12971	JOB 5:16	So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
12972	JOB 5:17	Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
12973	JOB 5:18	For he bruiseth, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole.
