- 12:1 And Job answered and said,
- 12:2 No doubt but you are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
- 12:3 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yes, who knows not such things as these?
- 12:4 I am as one mocked of his neighbor, who calls on God, and he answers him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
- 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.
- 12:6 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God brings abundantly.
- 12:7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell you:
- 12:8 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach you: and the fishes of the sea shall declare to you.
- 12:9 Who knows not in all these that the hand of the LORD has worked this?
- 12:10 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
- 12:11 Does not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
- 12:12 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
- 12:13 With him is wisdom and strength, he has counsel and understanding.
- 12:14 Behold, he breaks down, and it cannot be built again: he shuts up a man, and there can be no opening.
- 12:15 Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up: also he sends them out, and they overturn the earth.
- 12:16 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
- 12:17 He leads counsellors away spoiled, and makes the judges fools.
- 12:18 He looses the bond of kings, and girds their loins with a girdle.
- 12:19 He leads princes away spoiled, and overthrows the mighty.
- 12:20 He removes away the speech of the trusty, and takes away the understanding of the aged.
- 12:21 He pours contempt on princes, and weakens the strength of the mighty.
- 12:22 He discovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death.
- 12:23 He increases the nations, and destroys them: he enlarges the nations, and straitens them again.
- 12:24 He takes away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
- 12:25 They grope in the dark without light, and he makes them to stagger like a drunken man.

- 11:1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
- 11:2 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a man full of talk be justified?
- 11:3 Should your lies make men hold their peace? and when you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?
- 11:4 For you have said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in your eyes.
- 11:5 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you;
- 11:6 And that he would show you the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.
- 11:7 Can you by searching find out God? can you find out the Almighty to perfection?
- 11:8 It is as high as heaven; what can you do? deeper than hell; what can you know?
- 11:9 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.
- 11:10 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?
- 11:11 For he knows vain men: he sees wickedness also; will he not then consider it?
- 11:12 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild ass’s colt.
- 11:13 If you prepare your heart, and stretch out your hands toward him;
- 11:14 If iniquity be in your hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in your tabernacles.
- 11:15 For then shall you lift up your face without spot; yes, you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
- 11:16 Because you shall forget your misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
- 11:17 And your age shall be clearer than the noonday: you shall shine forth, you shall be as the morning.
- 11:18 And you shall be secure, because there is hope; yes, you shall dig about you, and you shall take your rest in safety.
- 11:19 Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you afraid; yes, many shall make suit to you.
- 11:20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
Job 10

- 10:1 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint on myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
- 10:2 I will say to God, Do not condemn me; show me why you contend with me.
- 10:3 Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and shine on the counsel of the wicked?
- 10:4 Have you eyes of flesh? or see you as man sees?
- 10:5 Are your days as the days of man? are your years as man’s days,
- 10:6 That you enquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
- 10:7 You know that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of your hand.
- 10:8 Your hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet you do destroy me.
- 10:9 Remember, I beseech you, that you have made me as the clay; and will you bring me into dust again?
- 10:10 Have you not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
- 10:11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have fenced me with bones and sinews.
- 10:12 You have granted me life and favor, and your visitation has preserved my spirit.
- 10:13 And these things have you hid in your heart: I know that this is with you.
- 10:14 If I sin, then you mark me, and you will not acquit me from my iniquity.
- 10:15 If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see you my affliction;
- 10:16 For it increases. You hunt me as a fierce lion: and again you show yourself marvelous on me.
- 10:17 You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me; changes and war are against me.
- 10:18 Why then have you brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
- 10:19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
- 10:20 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
- 10:21 Before I go from where I shall not return, even to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
- 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.
Job 9

- 9:1 Then Job answered and said,
- 9:2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
- 9:3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
- 9:4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and has prospered?
- 9:5 Which removes the mountains, and they know not: which overturns them in his anger.
- 9:6 Which shakes the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
- 9:7 Which commands the sun, and it rises not; and seals up the stars.
- 9:8 Which alone spreads out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea.
- 9:9 Which makes Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
- 9:10 Which does great things past finding out; yes, and wonders without number.
- 9:11 See, he goes by me, and I see him not: he passes on also, but I perceive him not.
- 9:12 Behold, he takes away, who can hinder him? who will say to him, What do you?
- 9:13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
- 9:14 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
- 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
- 9:16 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had listened to my voice.
- 9:17 For he breaks me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
- 9:18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
- 9:19 If I speak of strength, see, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
- 9:20 If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
- 9:21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
- 9:22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroys the perfect and the wicked.
- 9:23 If the whip slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
- 9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covers the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
- 9:25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
- 9:26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hastens to the prey.
- 9:27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
- 9:28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.
- 9:29 If I be wicked, why then labor I in vain?
- 9:30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
- 9:31 Yet shall you plunge me in the ditch, and my own clothes shall abhor me.
- 9:32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
- 9:33 Neither is there any judge between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
- 9:34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
- 9:35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

- 8:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
- 8:2 How long will you speak these things? and how long shall the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
- 8:3 Does God pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice?
- 8:4 If your children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
- 8:5 If you would seek to God betimes, and make your supplication to the Almighty;
- 8:6 If you were pure and upright; surely now he would awake for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.
- 8:7 Though your beginning was small, yet your latter end should greatly increase.
- 8:8 For inquire, I pray you, of the former age, and prepare yourself to the search of their fathers:
- 8:9 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days on earth are a shadow:)
- 8:10 Shall not they teach you, and tell you, and utter words out of their heart?
- 8:11 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
- 8:12 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it wither before any other herb.
- 8:13 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite’s hope shall perish:
- 8:14 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider’s web.
- 8:15 He shall lean on his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
- 8:16 He is green before the sun, and his branch shoots forth in his garden.
- 8:17 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and sees the place of stones.
- 8:18 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen you.
- 8:19 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
- 8:20 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
- 8:21 Till he fill your mouth with laughing, and your lips with rejoicing.
- 8:22 They that hate you shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nothing.

- 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.

- 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?

- 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.

- 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.

- 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.
