- 27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
- 27:2 As God lives, who has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul;
- 27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
- 27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.
- 27:5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove my integrity from me.
- 27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.
- 27:7 Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he that rises up against me as the unrighteous.
- 27:8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?
- 27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?
- 27:10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call on God?
- 27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.
- 27:12 Behold, all you yourselves have seen it; why then are you thus altogether vain?
- 27:13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
- 27:14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
- 27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
- 27:16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
- 27:17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
- 27:18 He builds his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper makes.
- 27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he opens his eyes, and he is not.
- 27:20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest steals him away in the night.
- 27:21 The east wind carries him away, and he departs: and as a storm hurles him out of his place.
- 27:22 For God shall cast on him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
- 27:23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

- 26:1 But Job answered and said,
- 26:2 How have you helped him that is without power? how save you the arm that has no strength?
- 26:3 How have you counceled him that has no wisdom? and how have you plentifully declared the thing as it is?
- 26:4 To whom have you uttered words? and whose spirit came from you?
- 26:5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
- 26:6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction has no covering.
- 26:7 He stretches out the north over the empty place, and hangs the earth on nothing.
- 26:8 He binds up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
- 26:9 He holds back the face of his throne, and spreads his cloud on it.
- 26:10 He has compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.
- 26:11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.
- 26:12 He divides the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smites through the proud.
- 26:13 By his spirit he has garnished the heavens; his hand has formed the crooked serpent.
- 26:14 See, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

- 25:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
- 25:2 Dominion and fear are with him, he makes peace in his high places.
- 25:3 Is there any number of his armies? and on whom does not his light arise?
- 25:4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?
- 25:5 Behold even to the moon, and it shines not; yes, the stars are not pure in his sight.
- 25:6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?
Job 24

- 24:1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
- 24:2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
- 24:3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow’s ox for a pledge.
- 24:4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.
- 24:5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
- 24:6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
- 24:7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.
- 24:8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.
- 24:9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.
- 24:10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;
- 24:11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
- 24:12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded cries out: yet God lays not folly to them.
- 24:13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
- 24:14 The murderer rising with the light kills the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.
- 24:15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguises his face.
- 24:16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
- 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.
- 24:18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholds not the way of the vineyards.
- 24:19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so does the grave those which have sinned.
- 24:20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.
- 24:21 He evil entreats the barren that bears not: and does not good to the widow.
- 24:22 He draws also the mighty with his power: he rises up, and no man is sure of life.
- 24:23 Though it be given him to be in safety, where on he rests; yet his eyes are on their ways.
- 24:24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.
- 24:25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

- 23:1 Then Job answered and said,
- 23:2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.
- 23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!
- 23:4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
- 23:5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say to me.
- 23:6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.
- 23:7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
- 23:8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:
- 23:9 On the left hand, where he does work, but I cannot behold him: he hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
- 23:10 But he knows the way that I take: when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
- 23:11 My foot has held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.
- 23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.
- 23:13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, even that he does.
- 23:14 For he performes the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.
- 23:15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
- 23:16 For God makes my heart soft, and the Almighty troubles me:
- 23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither has he covered the darkness from my face.

- 22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
- 22:2 Can a man be profitable to God, as he that is wise may be profitable to himself?
- 22:3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? or is it gain to him, that you make your ways perfect?
- 22:4 Will he reprove you for fear of you? will he enter with you into judgment?
- 22:5 Is not your wickedness great? and your iniquities infinite?
- 22:6 For you have taken a pledge from your brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
- 22:7 You have not given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.
- 22:8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelled in it.
- 22:9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
- 22:10 Therefore snares are round about you, and sudden fear troubles you;
- 22:11 Or darkness, that you can not see; and abundance of waters cover you.
- 22:12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!
- 22:13 And you say, How does God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?
- 22:14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he sees not; and he walks in the circuit of heaven.
- 22:15 Have you marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
- 22:16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood:
- 22:17 Which said to God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
- 22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
- 22:19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
- 22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.
- 22:21 Acquaint now yourself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come to you.
- 22:22 Receive, I pray you, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in your heart.
- 22:23 If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up, you shall put away iniquity far from your tabernacles.
- 22:24 Then shall you lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
- 22:25 Yes, the Almighty shall be your defense, and you shall have plenty of silver.
- 22:26 For then shall you have your delight in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God.
- 22:27 You shall make your prayer to him, and he shall hear you, and you shall pay your vows.
- 22:28 You shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to you: and the light shall shine on your ways.
- 22:29 When men are cast down, then you shall say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
- 22:30 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of your hands.

- 21:1 But Job answered and said,
- 21:2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
- 21:3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
- 21:4 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
- 21:5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand on your mouth.
- 21:6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling takes hold on my flesh.
- 21:7 Why do the wicked live, become old, yes, are mighty in power?
- 21:8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
- 21:9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God on them.
- 21:10 Their bull engenders, and fails not; their cow calves, and casts not her calf.
- 21:11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
- 21:12 They take the tambourine and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
- 21:13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
- 21:14 Therefore they say to God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of your ways.
- 21:15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray to him?
- 21:16 See, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
- 21:17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft comes their destruction on them! God distributes sorrows in his anger.
- 21:18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carries away.
- 21:19 God lays up his iniquity for his children: he rewards him, and he shall know it.
- 21:20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
- 21:21 For what pleasure has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the middle?
- 21:22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judges those that are high.
- 21:23 One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
- 21:24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
- 21:25 And another dies in the bitterness of his soul, and never eats with pleasure.
- 21:26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
- 21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which you wrongfully imagine against me.
- 21:28 For you say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
- 21:29 Have you not asked them that go by the way? and do you not know their tokens,
- 21:30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
- 21:31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he has done?
- 21:32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
- 21:33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet to him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
- 21:34 How then comfort you me in vain, seeing in your answers there remains falsehood?

- 20:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
- 20:2 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.
- 20:3 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causes me to answer.
- 20:4 Know you not this of old, since man was placed on earth,
- 20:5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
- 20:6 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds;
- 20:7 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?
- 20:8 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yes, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
- 20:9 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
- 20:10 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.
- 20:11 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.
- 20:12 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it under his tongue;
- 20:13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:
- 20:14 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.
- 20:15 He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
- 20:16 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper’s tongue shall slay him.
- 20:17 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.
- 20:18 That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
- 20:19 Because he has oppressed and has forsaken the poor; because he has violently taken away an house which he built not;
- 20:20 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.
- 20:21 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.
- 20:22 In the fullness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come on him.
- 20:23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath on him, and shall rain it on him while he is eating.
- 20:24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.
- 20:25 It is drawn, and comes out of the body; yes, the glittering sword comes out of his gall: terrors are on him.
- 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.
- 20:27 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.
- 20:28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
- 20:29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed to him by God.

- 19:1 Then Job answered and said,
- 19:2 How long will you vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
- 19:3 These ten times have you reproached me: you are not ashamed that you make yourselves strange to me.
- 19:4 And be it indeed that I have erred, my error remains with myself.
- 19:5 If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
- 19:6 Know now that God has overthrown me, and has compassed me with his net.
- 19:7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
- 19:8 He has fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he has set darkness in my paths.
- 19:9 He has stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
- 19:10 He has destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and my hope has he removed like a tree.
- 19:11 He has also kindled his wrath against me, and he counts me to him as one of his enemies.
- 19:12 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
- 19:13 He has put my brothers far from me, and my acquaintance are truly estranged from me.
- 19:14 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
- 19:15 They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
- 19:16 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I entreated him with my mouth.
- 19:17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children’s sake of my own body.
- 19:18 Yes, young children despised me; I arose, and they spoke against me.
- 19:19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
- 19:20 My bone sticks to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
- 19:21 Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends; for the hand of God has touched me.
- 19:22 Why do you persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
- 19:23 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
- 19:24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
- 19:25 For I know that my redeemer lives, and that he shall stand at the latter day on the earth:
- 19:26 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
- 19:27 Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
- 19:28 But you should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
- 19:29 Be you afraid of the sword: for wrath brings the punishments of the sword, that you may know there is a judgment.

- 18:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
- 18:2 How long will it be ere you make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
- 18:3 Why are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
- 18:4 He tears himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for you? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
- 18:5 Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
- 18:6 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
- 18:7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
- 18:8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a snare.
- 18:9 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
- 18:10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
- 18:11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
- 18:12 His strength shall be extremely hungry, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
- 18:13 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
- 18:14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
- 18:15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered on his habitation.
- 18:16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
- 18:17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
- 18:18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
- 18:19 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
- 18:20 They that come after him shall be astonished at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
- 18:21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knows not God.
