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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
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. |
12918 | JOB 3:10 | Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, And hid not trouble from mine eyes. |
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. |
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. |
12938 | JOB 4:4 | Thy words have upheld him that was falling, And thou hast given strength to feeble knees. |
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. |
12948 | JOB 4:14 | A fear and a horror came upon me, Which made all my bones to shake. |
12952 | JOB 4:18 | Behold, he putteth no trust in his ministering spirits, And his angels he chargeth with frailty. |
12954 | JOB 4:20 | Between morning and evening are they destroyed; They perish for ever, and none regardeth it. |
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. |
12962 | JOB 5:7 | Behold, man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward. |
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. |
12974 | JOB 5:19 | In six troubles will he deliver thee; Yea, in seven shall no evil touch thee. |
12975 | JOB 5:20 | In famine he will redeem thee from death, And in war from the power of the sword. |
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. |
12980 | JOB 5:25 | Thou shalt see thy descendants numerous, And thine offspring as the grass of the earth. |
12981 | JOB 5:26 | Thou shalt come to thy grave in full age, As a shock of corn gathered in its season. |
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. |
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. |
12996 | JOB 6:14 | To the afflicted, kindness should be shown by a friend; Else he casteth off the fear of the Almighty. |
12998 | JOB 6:16 | Which are turbid by reason of the ice, And the snow, which hideth itself in them. |
12999 | JOB 6:17 | As soon as they flow forth, they vanish; When the heat cometh, they are dried up from their place. |
13000 | JOB 6:18 | The caravans turn aside to them on their way; They go up into the desert, and perish. |
13002 | JOB 6:20 | They are ashamed that they have relied on them; They come to their place, and are confounded. |
13003 | JOB 6:21 | So ye also are nothing; Ye see a terror, and shrink back. |
13006 | JOB 6:24 | Convince me, and I will hold my peace; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred. |
13008 | JOB 6:26 | Do ye mean to censure words? The words of a man in despair are but wind. |
13009 | JOB 6:27 | Truly ye spread a net for the fatherless; Ye dig a pit for your friend. |
13011 | JOB 6:29 | Return, I pray, and let there be no unfairness; Yea, return;—still is my cause righteous. |
13015 | JOB 7:3 | So am I made to possess months of affliction, And wearisome nights are appointed for me. |
13016 | JOB 7:4 | If I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? And I am full of restlessness until the dawning of the day. |
13017 | JOB 7:5 | My flesh is clothed with worms, and clods of dust; My skin is broken and become loathsome. |
13018 | JOB 7:6 | My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle; They pass away without hope. |
13020 | JOB 7:8 | The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more; Thine eyes shall look for me, but I shall not be. |
13022 | JOB 7:10 | No more shall he return to his house, And his dwelling-place shall know him no more. |
13023 | JOB 7:11 | Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul. |
13027 | JOB 7:15 | So that my soul chooseth strangling, Yea, death, rather than these my bones. |
13033 | JOB 7:21 | And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, And take away mine iniquity? ((7:22)) For soon shall I sleep in the dust; And, though thou seek me diligently, I shall not be. |
13037 | JOB 8:4 | As thy children sinned against him, He hath given them up to their transgression. |
13040 | JOB 8:7 | So that thy beginning shall be small, And thy latter end very great. |
13045 | JOB 8:12 | While it is yet in its greenness, and is not cut down, It withereth before any other herb. |
13046 | JOB 8:13 | Such is the fate of all who forget God; So perisheth the hope of the ungodly. |
13047 | JOB 8:14 | His confidence shall come to nought, And his trust shall prove a spider's web. |
13048 | JOB 8:15 | He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand; He shall lay fast hold on it, but it shall not endure. |
13055 | JOB 8:22 | They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame, And the dwelling-place of the wicked shall come to nought. |
13058 | JOB 9:3 | If he choose to contend with him, He cannot answer him to one charge of a thousand. |
13060 | JOB 9:5 | He removeth the mountains, and they know it not; He overturneth them in his anger. |
13061 | JOB 9:6 | He shaketh the earth out of her place, And the pillars thereof tremble. |
13062 | JOB 9:7 | He commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And he sealeth up the stars. |
