18-JOB
18-1:1 There
was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and
upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
18-1:4 And
his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and
called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
18-1:5 And
it was so, when the days of their feasting
were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for
Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
18-1:7 And
the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and
said, From going to and fro in the earth, and
from walking up and down in it.
18-1:8 And
the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that
feareth God, and escheweth evil?
18-1:10 Hast
not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he
hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance
is increased in the land.
18-1:12 And
the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself
put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
18-1:13 And
there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in
their eldest brother’s house:
18-1:18 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:
18-1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
18-2:2 And
the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD,
and said, From going to and fro in the earth,
and from walking up and down in it.
18-2:3 And
the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that
feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity,
although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
18-2:6 And
the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
18-2:10 But
he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What?
shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
18-3:3 Let
the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man
child conceived.
18-3:20 Wherefore
is light given to him that is in misery, and
life unto the bitter in soul;
18-3:23 Why is light given to a man whose way is
hid, and whom God hath hedged in?
18-3:26 I
was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither
was I quiet; yet trouble came.
18-4:13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep
sleep falleth on men,
18-4:18 Behold,
he put no trust in his servants; and his angels
he charged with folly:
18-4:19 How
much less in
them that dwell in houses of clay, whose
foundation is in the dust, which are
crushed before the moth?
18-4:21 Doth
not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.
18-5:4 His
children are far from safety, and they are crushed in
the gate, neither is there any to
deliver them.
18-5:13 He
taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the
counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
18-5:14 They
meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in
the night.
18-5:19 He
shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
18-5:20 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
18-5:23 For
thou shalt be in league with the stones of the
field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
18-5:24 And
thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall
be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy
habitation, and shalt not sin.
18-5:26 Thou
shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
18-6:2 Oh
that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
18-6:4 For
the arrows of the Almighty are within
me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set
themselves in array against me.
18-6:6 Can
that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
18-6:10 Then
should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in
sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
18-6:13 Is not my help in
me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
18-6:29 Return,
I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness is in it.
18-6:30 Is
there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste
discern perverse things?
18-7:11 Therefore
I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the
anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the
bitterness of my soul.
18-7:21 And
why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now
shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek
me in the morning, but I shall not be.
18-8:12 Whilst
it is yet in
his greenness, and not cut down, it
withereth before any other herb.
18-8:16 He
is green before the sun, and his
branch shooteth forth in his garden.
18-9:4 He is wise in
heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened
himself against him, and hath
prospered?
18-9:5 Which
removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
18-9:29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
18-9:31 Yet
shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own
clothes shall abhor me.
18-9:32 For
he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
18-10:1 My
soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
18-10:13 And
these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this is with thee.
18-11:4 For
thou hast said, My doctrine is pure,
and I am clean in thine eyes.
18-11:14 If
iniquity be in
thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
18-11:18 And
thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest
in safety.
18-12:5 He
that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
18-12:9 Who
knoweth not in all these that the hand of the
LORD hath wrought this?
18-12:10 In whose hand is
the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
18-12:12 With
the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
18-12:24 He
taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them
to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
18-12:25 They
grope in the dark without light, and he maketh
them to stagger like a drunken man.
18-13:14 Wherefore
do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
18-13:15 Though
he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will
maintain mine own ways before him.
18-13:27 Thou
puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest
narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
18-14:8 Though
the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the
stock thereof die in the ground;
18-14:13 O
that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that
thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest
appoint me a set time, and remember me!
18-14:17 My
transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18-15:9 What
knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest
thou, which is not in us?
18-15:15 Behold,
he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the
heavens are not clean in his sight.
18-15:21 A
dreadful sound is in his ears: in
prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
18-15:28 And
he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in
houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
18-15:31 Let
not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity
shall be his recompence.
18-16:4 I
also could speak as ye do: if your
soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up
words against you, and shake mine head at you.
18-16:8 And
thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is
a witness against me: and my leanness
rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
18-16:9 He
teareth me in
his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy
sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
18-16:15 I
have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in
the dust.
18-16:17 Not
for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
18-16:19 Also
now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
18-17:2 Are there not mockers with me? and doth
not mine eye continue in their provocation?
18-17:3 Lay
down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
18-17:13 If
I wait, the grave is mine house: I
have made my bed in the darkness.
18-17:16 They
shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our
rest together is in the dust.
18-18:3 Wherefore
are we counted as beasts, and reputed
vile in your sight?
18-18:4 He
teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be
forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
18-18:6 The
light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his
candle shall be put out with him.
18-18:10 The
snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
18-18:15 It
shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be
scattered upon his habitation.
18-18:17 His
remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
18-18:19 He
shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
18-19:2 How
long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces
with words?
18-19:8 He
hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
18-19:15 They
that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me
for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
18-19:23 Oh
that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
18-19:24 That
they were graven with an iron pen and lead in
the rock for ever!
18-19:26 And
though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see
God:
18-19:28 But
ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
18-20:11 His
bones are full of the sin of his
youth, which shall lie down with him in the
dust.
18-20:12 Though
wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
18-20:14 Yet his meat in
his bowels is turned, it is the gall
of asps within him.
18-20:20 Surely
he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he
shall not save of that which he desired.
18-20:22 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon
him.
18-20:26 All
darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume
him; it shall go ill with him that is left in
his tabernacle.
18-20:28 The
increase of his house shall depart, and
his goods shall flow away in the day of his
wrath.
18-21:7 Wherefore
do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in
power?
18-21:8 Their
seed is established in their sight with them,
and their offspring before their eyes.
18-21:13 They
spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
18-21:16 Lo,
their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from
me.
18-21:17 How
oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his
anger.
18-21:21 For
what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months
is cut off in the midst?
18-21:23 One
dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease
and quiet.
18-21:25 And
another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and
never eateth with pleasure.
18-21:26 They
shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms
shall cover them.
18-21:32 Yet
shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in
the tomb.
18-21:34 How
then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
18-22:8 But
as for the mighty man, he had the
earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
18-22:12 Is not God in
the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
18-22:14 Thick
clouds are a covering to him, that he
seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of
heaven.
18-22:22 Receive,
I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
18-22:26 For
then shalt thou have thy delight in the
Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
18-23:6 Will
he plead against me with his great
power? No; but he would put strength in me.
18-23:13 But
he is in
one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
18-24:5 Behold,
as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a
prey: the wilderness yieldeth food
for them and for their children.
18-24:6 They
reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the
wicked.
18-24:7 They
cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
18-24:13 They
are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor
abide in the paths thereof.
18-24:14 The
murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
18-24:16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
18-24:17 For
the morning is to them even as the
shadow of death: if one know them, they are in
the terrors of the shadow of death.
18-24:18 He
is swift as the waters; their portion
is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way
of the vineyards.
18-24:23 Though it be given him to be in
safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are
upon their ways.
18-25:2 Dominion
and fear are with him, he maketh
peace in his high places.
18-25:5 Behold
even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.
18-26:8 He
bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and
the cloud is not rent under them.
18-27:3 All
the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
18-27:10 Will
he delight himself in the Almighty? will he
always call upon God?
18-27:15 Those
that remain of him shall be buried in death: and
his widows shall not weep.
18-27:20 Terrors
take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
18-28:13 Man
knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in
the land of the living.
18-28:14 The
depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
18-29:2 Oh
that I were as in
months past, as in the days when
God preserved me;
18-29:4 As
I was in the days of my youth, when the secret
of God was upon my tabernacle;
18-29:7 When
I went out to the gate through the city, when
I prepared my seat in the street!
18-29:18 Then
I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall
multiply my days as the sand.
18-29:20 My
glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in
my hand.
18-29:25 I
chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth
the mourners.
18-30:1 But
now they that are younger than I have
me in derision, whose fathers I would have
disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
18-30:2 Yea,
whereto might the strength of their
hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
18-30:3 For
want and famine they were solitary;
fleeing into the wilderness in former time
desolate and waste.
18-30:6 To
dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves
of the earth, and in the rocks.
18-30:10 They
abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in
my face.
18-30:14 They
came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
18-30:17 My
bones are pierced in me in
the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
18-30:24 Howbeit
he will not stretch out his hand to
the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
18-30:25 Did
not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
18-30:28 I
went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and
I cried in the congregation.
18-31:6 Let
me be weighed in an even balance that God may
know mine integrity.
18-31:15 Did
not he that made me in the womb make him? and
did not one fashion us in the womb?
18-31:21 If
I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
18-31:26 If
I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
18-31:32 The
stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
18-31:33 If
I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
18-32:1 So
these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
18-32:5 When
Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these
three men, then his wrath was kindled.
18-32:8 But
there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth
them understanding.
18-32:22 For
I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
18-33:2 Behold,
now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in
my mouth.
18-33:5 If
thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
18-33:6 Behold,
I am according to thy wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
18-33:8 Surely
thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have
heard the voice of thy words, saying,
18-33:9 I
am clean without transgression, I am innocent;
neither is there iniquity in me.
18-33:11 He
putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my
paths.
18-33:12 Behold,
in this
thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
18-33:15 In a dream, in a vision
of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in
slumberings upon the bed;
18-34:8 Which
goeth in company with the workers of iniquity,
and walketh with wicked men.
18-34:20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be
troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without
hand.
18-34:24 He
shall break in pieces mighty men without number,
and set others in their stead.
18-34:25 Therefore
he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them
in the night, so that they are destroyed.
18-34:26 He
striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of
others;
18-35:10 But
none saith, Where is God my maker,
who giveth songs in the night;
18-35:14 Although
thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment
is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
18-35:15 But
now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
18-35:16 Therefore
doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth
words without knowledge.
18-36:4 For
truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with
thee.
18-36:5 Behold,
God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.
18-36:8 And
if they be bound in fetters, and be
holden in cords of affliction;
18-36:11 If
they obey and serve him, they shall
spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
18-36:13 But
the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry
not when he bindeth them.
18-36:14 They
die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
18-36:15 He
delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth
their ears in oppression.
18-36:20 Desire
not the night, when people are cut off in their
place.
18-36:31 For
by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in
abundance.
18-37:8 Then
the beasts go into dens, and remain in their
places.
18-37:12 And
it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he
commandeth them upon the face of the world in
the earth.
18-37:16 Dost
thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is
perfect in knowledge?
18-37:21 And
now men see not the bright light
which is in
the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
18-37:23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find
him out: he is excellent in power, and in
judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not
afflict.
18-38:16 Hast
thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
18-38:32 Canst
thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or
canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
18-38:33 Knowest
thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
18-38:36 Who
hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath
given understanding to the heart?
18-38:37 Who
can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay
the bottles of heaven,
18-38:40 When
they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in
wait?
18-39:4 Their
young ones are in good liking, they grow up with
corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.
18-39:10 Canst thou
