18-JOB
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.
18-1:16 While
he was yet speaking, there came also
another, and said, The fire of God is fallen
from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them;
and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
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.
18-3:3 Let
the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man
child conceived.
18-3:19 The
small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
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?
18-3:25 For
the thing which I greatly feared is come upon
me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto
me.
18-4:5 But
now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it
toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.
18-4:6 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope,
and the uprightness of thy ways?
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.
18-5:7 Yet
man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly
upward.
18-5:13 He
taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
18-5:17 Behold,
happy is the
man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the
Almighty:
18-5:27 Lo
this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
18-6:6 Can
that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt?
or is there any
taste in the white of an egg?
18-6:11 What
is my
strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end, that I should prolong my life?
18-6:12 Is my
strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
18-6:13 Is not my
help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
18-6:14 To
him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the
Almighty.
18-6:16 Which
are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein
the snow is hid:
18-6:17 What
time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot,
they are consumed out of their place.
18-6:26 Do
ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which
are as wind?
18-6:28 Now
therefore be content, look upon me; for it
is evident unto you if I lie.
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?
18-7:1 Is there not
an appointed time to man upon earth? are
not his days also like the days of an hireling?
18-7:5 My
flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust;
my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
18-7:7 O
remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.
18-7:9 As the cloud is
consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up
no more.
18-7:17 What
is man,
that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon
him?
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.
18-8:19 Behold,
this is the
joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
18-9:2 I
know it is
so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
18-9:4 He is wise
in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
18-9:19 If
I speak of strength, lo, he is strong:
and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to
plead?
18-9:22 This
is one
thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the
wicked.
18-9:24 The
earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he
covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
18-9:32 For
he is not
a man, as I am, that I should answer
him, and we should come together in
judgment.
18-9:33 Neither
is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
18-9:35 Then would I speak, and not fear him;
but it is not
so with me.
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.
18-10:3 Is it good
unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of
thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
18-10:7 Thou
knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
18-10:13 And
these things hast thou hid in thine
heart: I know that this is with thee.
18-10:22 A
land of darkness, as darkness itself; and
of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
18-11:4 For
thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in thine eyes.
18-11:6 And
that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is!
Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less
than thine iniquity deserveth.
18-11:8 It is as
high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell; what canst thou know?
18-11:9 The
measure thereof is
longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
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.
18-12:4 I
am as one mocked of his neighbour,
who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed
to scorn.
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.
18-12:10 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.
18-12:13 With
him is wisdom
and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
18-12:16 With
him is strength
and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are
his.
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.
18-13:9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one
man mocketh another, do ye so mock
him?
18-13:19 Who
is he that will plead with me? for now, if I
hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
18-13:28 And
he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is
moth eaten.
18-14:1 Man
that is born
of a woman is
of few days, and full of trouble.
18-14:2 He
cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he
fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
18-14:7 For
there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that
it will sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not cease.
18-14:10 But
man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?
18-14:17 My
transgression is
sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up mine iniquity.
18-14:18 And
surely the mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of his place.
18-15:9 What
knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest
thou, which is
not in us?
18-15:11 Are the consolations of God small with
thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
18-15:14 What
is man,
that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
18-15:16 How
much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
18-15:20 The
wicked man travaileth with pain all his days,
and the number of years is hidden to the
oppressor.
18-15:21 A
dreadful sound is
in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
18-15:22 He
believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
18-15:23 He
wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where
is it? he
knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his
hand.
18-15:31 Let
not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for
vanity shall be his recompence.
18-16:6 Though
I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
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.
18-16:16 My
face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the
shadow of death;
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.
18-17:1 My
breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the
graves are ready for me.
18-17:3 Lay
down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will
strike hands with me?
18-17:7 Mine
eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my
members are as a shadow.
18-17:12 They
change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
18-17:13 If
I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
18-17:15 And
where is now
my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
18-17:16 They
shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our
rest together is in the dust.
18-18:8 For
he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he
walketh upon a snare.
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.
18-18:21 Surely
such are the dwellings of the wicked,
and this is
the place of him that knoweth not
God.
18-19:7 Behold,
I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
18-19:17 My
breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated
for the children’s sake of mine own
body.
18-19:28 But
ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
18-19:29 Be
ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth
the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
18-20:5 That
the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
18-20:7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his
own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
18-20:14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
18-20:23 When he is
about to fill his belly, God shall
cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
18-20:25 It
is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the
glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are 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.
18-20:29 This
is the
portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed unto him by God.
18-21:4 As
for me, is
my complaint to man? and if it were
so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
18-21:8 Their
seed is established in their sight with them, and
their offspring before their eyes.
18-21:9 Their
houses are safe from fear, neither is the
rod of God upon them.
18-21:15 What
is the
Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray
unto him?
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?
18-21:28 For
ye say, Where is
the house of the prince? and where are
the dwelling places of the wicked?
18-21:30 That
the wicked is reserved to the day of
destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
18-22:2 Can
a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise
may be profitable unto himself?
18-22:3 Is it any
pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
18-22:5 Is not
thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
18-22:12 Is not
God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they
are!
18-22:18 Yet
he filled their houses with good things: but
the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
18-22:20 Whereas
our substance is not cut down, but the remnant
of them the fire consumeth.
18-22:29 When
men are cast down, then thou shalt
say, There is
lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
18-22:30 He
shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is
delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
18-23:2 Even
to day is my
complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my
groaning.
18-23:8 Behold,
I go forward, but he is not there;
and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
18-23:13 But
he is in
one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.
18-23:14 For
he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
18-24:14 The
murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
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.
18-24:22 He
draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is
sure of life.
18-25:3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth
not his light arise?
18-25:4 How
then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
18-25:6 How
much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a
worm?
18-26:2 How
hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that
hath no strength?
18-26:3 How
hast thou counselled him that hath no
wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully
declared the thing as it is?
18-26:6 Hell
is naked
before him, and destruction hath no covering.
18-26:8 He
bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
18-26:14 Lo,
these are parts of his ways: but how
little a portion is heard of him? but the
thunder of his power who can understand?
18-27:3 All
the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my
nostrils;
18-27:8 For
what is the
hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?
18-27:11 I
will teach you by the hand of God: that which
is with
the Almighty will I not conceal.
18-27:13 This
is the
portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the
Almighty.
18-27:14 If
his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be
satisfied with bread.
18-27:19 The
rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and
he is not.
18-28:1 Surely
there is a vein for the silver, and a place for
gold where they fine it.
18-28:2 Iron
is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten
out of the stone.
18-28:5 As for the earth, out of it cometh
bread: and under it is turned up as it were
fire.
18-28:7 There is a
path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not seen:
18-28:11 He
bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the
thing that is hid bringeth he forth to
light.
18-28:12 But
where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
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.
18-28:18 No
mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above
rubies.
18-28:20 Whence
then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
18-28:21 Seeing
it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept
close from the fowls of the air.
18-28:28 And
unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
18-30:16 And
now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction
have taken hold upon me.
18-30:18 By
the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the
collar of my coat.
18-30:30 My
skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned
with heat.
18-30:31 My
harp also is turned
to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
18-31:2 For
what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
18-31:3 Is not
destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment
to the workers of iniquity?
18-31:11 For
this is an
heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to
be punished by the judges.
18-31:12 For
it is a
fire that consumeth to destruction,
and would root out all mine increase.
18-31:28 This
also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I
should have denied the God that is above.
18-31:35 Oh
that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
18-32:8 But
there is a
spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
18-32:19 Behold,
my belly is
as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
18-33:9 I
am clean without transgression, I am innocent;
neither is
there iniquity in me.
18-33:12 Behold,
in this thou art not just: I will
answer thee, that God is greater than man.
18-33:19 He
is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and
the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
18-33:21 His
flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen;
and his bones that were not seen
stick out.
18-33:24 Then
he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him
from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
18-34:4 Let
us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
18-34:6 Should
I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
18-34:7 What
man is like
Job, who drinketh up scorning like
water?
18-34:17 Shall
even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
18-34:18 Is it fit to
say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
18-34:22 There is no
darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide
themselves.
18-34:31 Surely
it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
18-34:36 My
desire is
that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
18-35:2 Thinkest
thou this to be right, that thou
saidst, My righteousness is more than God’s?
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:
18-36:4 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.
18-36:14 They
die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
18-36:16 Even
so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a broad place, where there
is no straitness; and that which should be
set on thy table should be full of
fatness.
18-36:18 Because
there is wrath,
beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot
deliver thee.
