Job 7

2017年7月23日 by Leave a Comment
  • 7:1 Is there not an appointed time to man on earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?
  • 7:2 As a servant earnestly desires the shadow, and as an hireling looks for the reward of his work:
  • 7:3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights are appointed to me.
  • 7:4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro to the dawning of the day.
  • 7:5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is broken, and become loathsome.
  • 7:6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without hope.
  • 7:7 O remember that my life is wind: my eye shall no more see good.
  • 7:8 The eye of him that has seen me shall see me no more: your eyes are on me, and I am not.
  • 7:9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away: so he that goes down to the grave shall come up no more.
  • 7:10 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
  • 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.
  • 7:12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that you set a watch over me?
  • 7:13 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaints;
  • 7:14 Then you scare me with dreams, and terrify me through visions:
  • 7:15 So that my soul chooses strangling, and death rather than my life.
  • 7:16 I loathe it; I would not live always: let me alone; for my days are vanity.
  • 7:17 What is man, that you should magnify him? and that you should set your heart on him?
  • 7:18 And that you should visit him every morning, and try him every moment?
  • 7:19 How long will you not depart from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
  • 7:20 I have sinned; what shall I do to you, O you preserver of men?  why have you set me as a mark against you, so that I am a burden to myself?
  • 7:21 And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and you shall seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

Job 6

  • 6:1 But Job answered and said,
  • 6:2 Oh that my grief were thoroughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together!
  • 6:3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.
  • 6:4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinks up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.
  • 6:5 Does the wild ass bray when he has grass? or lows the ox over his fodder?
  • 6:6 Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
  • 6:7 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful meat.
  • 6:8 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me the thing that I long for!
  • 6:9 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!
  • 6:10 Then should I yet have comfort; yes, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
  • 6:11 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
  • 6:12 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of brass?
  • 6:13 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
  • 6:14 To him that is afflicted pity should be showed from his friend; but he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
  • 6:15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the stream of brooks they pass away;
  • 6:16 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow is hid:
  • 6:17 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.
  • 6:18 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing, and perish.
  • 6:19 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for them.
  • 6:20 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came thither, and were ashamed.
  • 6:21 For now you are nothing; you see my casting down, and are afraid.
  • 6:22 Did I say, Bring to me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?
  • 6:23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?
  • 6:24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
  • 6:25 How forcible are right words! but what does your arguing reprove?
  • 6:26 Do you imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?
  • 6:27 Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, and you dig a pit for your friend.
  • 6:28 Now therefore be content, look on me; for it is evident to you if I lie.
  • 6:29 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yes, return again, my righteousness is in it.
  • 6:30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?

Job 5

2017年7月23日 by Leave a Comment
  • 5:1 Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the saints will you turn?
  • 5:2 For wrath kills the foolish man, and envy slays the silly one.
  • 5:3 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
  • 5:4 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
  • 5:5 Whose harvest the hungry eats up, and takes it even out of the thorns, and the robber swallows up their substance.
  • 5:6 Although affliction comes not forth of the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;
  • 5:7 Yet man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
  • 5:8 I would seek to God, and to God would I commit my cause:
  • 5:9 Which does great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number:
  • 5:10 Who gives rain on the earth, and sends waters on the fields:
  • 5:11 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
  • 5:12 He disappoints the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
  • 5:13 He takes the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the fraudulent is carried headlong.
  • 5:14 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
  • 5:15 But he saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
  • 5:16 So the poor has hope, and iniquity stops her mouth.
  • 5:17 Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects: therefore despise not you the chastening of the Almighty:
  • 5:18 For he makes sore, and binds up: he wounds, and his hands make whole.
  • 5:19 He shall deliver you in six troubles: yes, in seven there shall no evil touch you.
  • 5:20 In famine he shall redeem you from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
  • 5:21 You shall be hid from the whip of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.
  • 5:22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
  • 5:23 For you shall be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
  • 5:24 And you shall know that your tabernacle shall be in peace; and you shall visit your habitation, and shall not sin.
  • 5:25 You shall know also that your seed shall be great, and your offspring as the grass of the earth.
  • 5:26 You shall come to your grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn comes in in his season.
  • 5:27 See this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know you it for your good.

Job 4

  • 4:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
  • 4:2 If we assay to commune with you, will you be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?
  • 4:3 Behold, you have instructed many, and you have strengthened the weak hands.
  • 4:4 Your words have upheld him that was falling, and you have strengthened the feeble knees.
  • 4:5 But now it is come on you, and you faint; it touches you, and you are troubled.
  • 4:6 Is not this your fear, your confidence, your hope, and the uprightness of your ways?
  • 4:7 Remember, I pray you, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
  • 4:8 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
  • 4:9 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
  • 4:10 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
  • 4:11 The old lion perishes for lack of prey, and the stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad.
  • 4:12 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a little thereof.
  • 4:13 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,
  • 4:14 Fear came on me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.
  • 4:15 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:
  • 4:16 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an image was before my eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,
  • 4:17 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?
  • 4:18 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he charged with folly:
  • 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?
  • 4:20 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for ever without any regarding it.
  • 4:21 Does not their excellency which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

Job 3

2017年7月23日 by Leave a Comment
  • 3:1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
  • 3:2 And Job spoke, and said,
  • 3:3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.
  • 3:4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine on it.
  • 3:5 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell on it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
  • 3:6 As for that night, let darkness seize on it; let it not be joined to the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
  • 3:7 See, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.
  • 3:8 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.
  • 3:9 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:
  • 3:10 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, nor hid sorrow from my eyes.
  • 3:11 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?
  • 3:12 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should suck?
  • 3:13 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,
  • 3:14 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate places for themselves;
  • 3:15 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:
  • 3:16 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants which never saw light.
  • 3:17 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.
  • 3:18 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of the oppressor.
  • 3:19 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.
  • 3:20 Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul;
  • 3:21 Which long for death, but it comes not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
  • 3:22 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?
  • 3:23 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God has hedged in?
  • 3:24 For my sighing comes before I eat, and my roarings are poured out like the waters.
  • 3:25 For the thing which I greatly feared is come on me, and that which I was afraid of is come to me.
  • 3:26 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet; yet trouble came.

Job 2

  • 2:1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
  • 2:2 And the LORD said to Satan, From where come you? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
  • 2:3 And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and eschews evil? and still he holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause.
  • 2:4 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yes, all that a man has will he give for his life.
  • 2:5 But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.
  • 2:6 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but save his life.
  • 2:7 So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
  • 2:8 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself with; and he sat down among the ashes.
  • 2:9 Then said his wife to him, Do you still retain your integrity?  curse God, and die.
  • 2:10 But he said to her, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. 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.
  • 2:11 Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this evil that was come on him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.
  • 2:12 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward heaven.
  • 2:13 So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spoke a word to him: for they saw that his grief was very great.

Job 1

  • 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.
  • 1:2 And there were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
  • 1:3 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
  • 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.
  • 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.
  • 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
  • 1:7 And the LORD said to Satan, From where come you? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
  • 1:8 And the LORD said to Satan, Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that fears God, and eschews evil?
  • 1:9 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?
  • 1:10 Have not you made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he has on every side? you have blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
  • 1:11 But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.
  • 1:12 And the LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in your power; only on himself put not forth your hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
  • 1:13 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house:
  • 1:14 And there came a messenger to Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
  • 1:15 And the Sabeans fell on them, and took them away; yes, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
  • 1:16 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and has burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
  • 1:17 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell on the camels, and have carried them away, yes, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
  • 1:18 While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Your sons and your daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house:
  • 1:19 And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell you.
  • 1:20 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down on the ground, and worshipped,
  • 1:21 And said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
  • 1:22 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.

  • 9:1 Now in the twelfth month, that is, the month Adar, on the thirteenth day of the same, when the king’s commandment and his decree drew near to be put in execution, in the day that the enemies of the Jews hoped to have power over them, (though it was turned to the contrary, that the Jews had rule over them that hated them;)
  • 9:2 The Jews gathered themselves together in their cities throughout all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, to lay hand on such as sought their hurt: and no man could withstand them; for the fear of them fell on all people.
  • 9:3 And all the rulers of the provinces, and the lieutenants, and the deputies, and officers of the king, helped the Jews; because the fear of Mordecai fell on them.
  • 9:4 For Mordecai was great in the king’s house, and his fame went out throughout all the provinces: for this man Mordecai waxed greater and greater.
  • 9:5 Thus the Jews smote all their enemies with the stroke of the sword, and slaughter, and destruction, and did what they would to those that hated them.
  • 9:6 And in Shushan the palace the Jews slew and destroyed five hundred men.
  • 9:7 And Parshandatha, and Dalphon, and Aspatha,
  • 9:8 And Poratha, and Adalia, and Aridatha,
  • 9:9 And Parmashta, and Arisai, and Aridai, and Vajezatha,
  • 9:10 The ten sons of Haman the son of Hammedatha, the enemy of the Jews, slew they; but on the spoil laid they not their hand.
  • 9:11 On that day the number of those that were slain in Shushan the palace was brought before the king.
  • 9:12 And the king said to Esther the queen, The Jews have slain and destroyed five hundred men in Shushan the palace, and the ten sons of Haman; what have they done in the rest of the king’s provinces? now what is your petition? and it shall be granted you: or what is your request further? and it shall be done.
  • 9:13 Then said Esther, If it please the king, let it be granted to the Jews which are in Shushan to do to morrow also according to this day’s decree, and let Haman’s ten sons be hanged on the gallows.
  • 9:14 And the king commanded it so to be done: and the decree was given at Shushan; and they hanged Haman’s ten sons.
  • 9:15 For the Jews that were in Shushan gathered themselves together on the fourteenth day also of the month Adar, and slew three hundred men at Shushan; but on the prey they laid not their hand.
  • 9:16 But the other Jews that were in the king’s provinces gathered themselves together, and stood for their lives, and had rest from their enemies, and slew of their foes seventy and five thousand, but they laid not their hands on the prey,
  • 9:17 On the thirteenth day of the month Adar; and on the fourteenth day of the same rested they, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
  • 9:18 But the Jews that were at Shushan assembled together on the thirteenth day thereof, and on the fourteenth thereof; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested, and made it a day of feasting and gladness.
  • 9:19 Therefore the Jews of the villages, that dwelled in the unwalled towns, made the fourteenth day of the month Adar a day of gladness and feasting, and a good day, and of sending portions one to another.
  • 9:20 And Mordecai wrote these things, and sent letters to all the Jews that were in all the provinces of the king Ahasuerus, both near and far,
  • 9:21 To establish this among them, that they should keep the fourteenth day of the month Adar, and the fifteenth day of the same, yearly,
  • 9:22 As the days wherein the Jews rested from their enemies, and the month which was turned to them from sorrow to joy, and from mourning into a good day: that they should make them days of feasting and joy, and of sending portions one to another, and gifts to the poor.
  • 9:23 And the Jews undertook to do as they had begun, and as Mordecai had written to them;
  • 9:24 Because Haman the son of Hammedatha, the Agagite, the enemy of all the Jews, had devised against the Jews to destroy them, and had cast Pur, that is, the lot, to consume them, and to destroy them;
  • 9:25 But when Esther came before the king, he commanded by letters that his wicked device, which he devised against the Jews, should return on his own head, and that he and his sons should be hanged on the gallows.
  • 9:26 Why they called these days Purim after the name of Pur.  Therefore for all the words of this letter, and of that which they had seen concerning this matter, and which had come to them,
  • 9:27 The Jews ordained, and took on them, and on their seed, and on all such as joined themselves to them, so as it should not fail, that they would keep these two days according to their writing, and according to their appointed time every year;
  • 9:28 And that these days should be remembered and kept throughout every generation, every family, every province, and every city; and that these days of Purim should not fail from among the Jews, nor the memorial of them perish from their seed.
  • 9:29 Then Esther the queen, the daughter of Abihail, and Mordecai the Jew, wrote with all authority, to confirm this second letter of Purim.
  • 9:30 And he sent the letters to all the Jews, to the hundred twenty and seven provinces of the kingdom of Ahasuerus, with words of peace and truth,
  • 9:31 To confirm these days of Purim in their times appointed, according as Mordecai the Jew and Esther the queen had enjoined them, and as they had decreed for themselves and for their seed, the matters of the fastings and their cry.
  • 9:32 And the decree of Esther confirmed these matters of Purim; and it was written in the book.

  • 8:1 On that day did the king Ahasuerus give the house of Haman the Jews’ enemy to Esther the queen. And Mordecai came before the king; for Esther had told what he was to her.
  • 8:2 And the king took off his ring, which he had taken from Haman, and gave it to Mordecai. And Esther set Mordecai over the house of Haman.
  • 8:3 And Esther spoke yet again before the king, and fell down at his feet, and sought him with tears to put away the mischief of Haman the Agagite, and his device that he had devised against the Jews.
  • 8:4 Then the king held out the golden scepter toward Esther. So Esther arose, and stood before the king,
  • 8:5 And said, If it please the king, and if I have favor in his sight, and the thing seem right before the king, and I be pleasing in his eyes, let it be written to reverse the letters devised by Haman the son of Hammedatha the Agagite, which he wrote to destroy the Jews which are in all the king’s provinces:
  • 8:6 For how can I endure to see the evil that shall come to my people? or how can I endure to see the destruction of my kindred?
  • 8:7 Then the king Ahasuerus said to Esther the queen and to Mordecai the Jew, Behold, I have given Esther the house of Haman, and him they have hanged on the gallows, because he laid his hand on the Jews.
  • 8:8 Write you also for the Jews, as it likes you, in the king’s name, and seal it with the king’s ring: for the writing which is written in the king’s name, and sealed with the king’s ring, may no man reverse.
  • 8:9 Then were the king’s scribes called at that time in the third month, that is, the month Sivan, on the three and twentieth day thereof; and it was written according to all that Mordecai commanded to the Jews, and to the lieutenants, and the deputies and rulers of the provinces which are from India to Ethiopia, an hundred twenty and seven provinces, to every province according to the writing thereof, and to every people after their language, and to the Jews according to their writing, and according to their language.
  • 8:10 And he wrote in the king Ahasuerus’ name, and sealed it with the king’s ring, and sent letters by posts on horseback, and riders on mules, camels, and young dromedaries:
  • 8:11 Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them, both little ones and women, and to take the spoil of them for a prey,
  • 8:12 On one day in all the provinces of king Ahasuerus, namely, on the thirteenth day of the twelfth month, which is the month Adar.
  • 8:13 The copy of the writing for a commandment to be given in every province was published to all people, and that the Jews should be ready against that day to avenge themselves on their enemies.
  • 8:14 So the posts that rode on mules and camels went out, being hastened and pressed on by the king’s commandment. And the decree was given at Shushan the palace.
  • 8:15 And Mordecai went out from the presence of the king in royal apparel of blue and white, and with a great crown of gold, and with a garment of fine linen and purple: and the city of Shushan rejoiced and was glad.
  • 8:16 The Jews had light, and gladness, and joy, and honor.
  • 8:17 And in every province, and in every city, wherever the king’s commandment and his decree came, the Jews had joy and gladness, a feast and a good day. And many of the people of the land became Jews; for the fear of the Jews fell on them.
