Job 1:1--3:26

1:1

There was a man
<0376>

in the land
<0776>

of Uz
<05780>_,

whose name
<08034>

[was] Job
<0347>_;

and that man
<0376>

was perfect
<08535>

and upright
<03477>_,

and one that feared
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

and eschewed
<05493> (8802)

evil
<07451>_.

1:2

And there were born
<03205> (8735)

unto him seven
<07651>

sons
<01121>

and three
<07969>

daughters
<01323>_.

1:3

His substance
<04735>

also was seven
<07651>

thousand
<0505>

sheep
<06629>_,

and three
<07969>

thousand
<0505>

camels
<01581>_,

and five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

yoke
<06776>

of oxen
<01241>_,

and five
<02568>

hundred
<03967>

she asses
<0860>_,

and a very
<03966>

great
<07227>

household
<05657>_;

so that this man
<0376>

was the greatest
<01419>

of all the men
<01121>

of the east
<06924>_.

{substance: or, cattle} {household: or, husbandry} {men: Heb. sons}

1:4

And his sons
<01121>

went
<01980> (8804)

and feasted
<04960> <06213> (8804)

[in their] houses
<01004>_,

every one
<0376>

his day
<03117>_;

and sent
<07971> (8804)

and called
<07121> (8804)

for their three
<07969>

sisters
<0269>

to eat
<0398> (8800)

and to drink
<08354> (8800)

with them.

1:5

And it was so, when the days
<03117>

of [their] feasting
<04960>

were gone about
<05362> (8689)_,

that Job
<0347>

sent
<07971> (8799)

and sanctified
<06942> (8762)

them, and rose up early
<07925> (8689)

in the morning
<01242>_,

and offered
<05927> (8689)

burnt offerings
<05930>

[according] to the number
<04557>

of them all: for Job
<0347>

said
<0559> (8804)_,

It may be
<0194>

that my sons
<01121>

have sinned
<02398> (8804)_,

and cursed
<01288> (8765)

God
<0430>

in their hearts
<03824>_.

Thus did
<06213> (8799)

Job
<0347>

continually
<03117>_.

{continually: Heb. all the days}

1:6

Now there was a day
<03117>

when the sons
<01121>

of God
<0430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to present
<03320> (8692)

themselves before the LORD
<03068>_,

and Satan
<07854>

came
<0935> (8799)

also among
<08432>

them. {Satan: Heb. the adversary} {among: Heb. in the midst of}

1:7

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Satan
<07854>_,

Whence
<0370>

comest
<0935> (8799)

thou? Then Satan
<07854>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

From going to and fro
<07751> (8800)

in the earth
<0776>_,

and from walking up and down
<01980> (8692)

in it.

1:8

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Satan
<07854>_,

Hast thou considered
<07760> (8804) <03820>

my servant
<05650>

Job
<0347>_,

that [there is] none like him in the earth
<0776>_,

a perfect
<08535>

and an upright
<03477>

man
<0376>_,

one that feareth
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

and escheweth
<05493> (8802)

evil
<07451>_?

{considered: Heb. set thy heart on}

1:9

Then Satan
<07854>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Doth Job
<0347>

fear
<03372> (8804)

God
<0430>

for nought
<02600>_?

1:10

Hast not thou made an hedge
<07753> (8804)

about him, and about
<01157>

his house
<01004>_,

and about all that he hath on every side
<05439>_?

thou hast blessed
<01288> (8765)

the work
<04639>

of his hands
<03027>_,

and his substance
<04735>

is increased
<06555> (8804)

in the land
<0776>_.

{substance: or, cattle}

1:11

But
<0199>

put forth
<07971> (8798)

thine hand
<03027>

now, and touch
<05060> (8798)

all that he hath, and he will curse
<01288> (8762) <03808>

thee to thy face
<06440>_.

{and he...: Heb. if he curse thee not to thy face}

1:12

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Satan
<07854>_,

Behold, all that he hath [is] in thy power
<03027>_;

only upon himself put not forth
<07971> (8799)

thine hand
<03027>_.

So Satan
<07854>

went forth
<03318> (8799)

from the presence
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

{power: Heb. hand}

1:13

And there was a day
<03117>

when his sons
<01121>

and his daughters
<01323>

[were] eating
<0398> (8802)

and drinking
<08354> (8802)

wine
<03196>

in their eldest
<01060>

brother's
<0251>

house
<01004>_:

1:14

And there came
<0935> (8804)

a messenger
<04397>

unto Job
<0347>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The oxen
<01241>

were plowing
<02790> (8802)_,

and the asses
<0860>

feeding
<07462> (8802)

beside
<03027>

them:

1:15

And the Sabeans
<07614>

fell
<05307> (8799)

[upon them], and took them away
<03947> (8799)_;

yea, they have slain
<05221> (8689)

the servants
<05288>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

and I only am escaped
<04422> (8735)

alone to tell
<05046> (8687)

thee.

1:16

While he [was] yet speaking
<01696> (8764)_,

there came
<0935> (8802)

also another, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The fire
<0784>

of God
<0430>

is fallen
<05307> (8804)

from heaven
<08064>_,

and hath burned up
<01197> (8799)

the sheep
<06629>_,

and the servants
<05288>_,

and consumed
<0398> (8799)

them; and I only am escaped
<04422> (8735)

alone to tell
<05046> (8687)

thee. {The fire...: or, A great fire}

1:17

While he [was] yet speaking
<01696> (8764)_,

there came
<0935> (8802)

also another, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

The Chaldeans
<03778>

made out
<07760> (8804)

three
<07969>

bands
<07218>_,

and fell
<06584> (8799)

upon the camels
<01581>_,

and have carried them away
<03947> (8799)_,

yea, and slain
<05221> (8689)

the servants
<05288>

with the edge
<06310>

of the sword
<02719>_;

and I only am escaped
<04422> (8735)

alone to tell
<05046> (8687)

thee. {fell: Heb. rushed}

1:18

While he [was] yet speaking
<01696> (8764)_,

there came
<0935> (8802)

also another, and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Thy sons
<01121>

and thy daughters
<01323>

[were] eating
<0398> (8802)

and drinking
<08354> (8802)

wine
<03196>

in their eldest
<01060>

brother's
<0251>

house
<01004>_:

1:19

And, behold, there came
<0935> (8804)

a great
<01419>

wind
<07307>

from
<05676>

the wilderness
<04057>_,

and smote
<05060> (8799)

the four
<0702>

corners
<06438>

of the house
<01004>_,

and it fell
<05307> (8799)

upon the young men
<05288>_,

and they are dead
<04191> (8799)_;

and I only am escaped
<04422> (8735)

alone to tell
<05046> (8687)

thee. {from...: Heb. from aside, etc}

1:20

Then Job
<0347>

arose
<06965> (8799)_,

and rent
<07167> (8799)

his mantle
<04598>_,

and shaved
<01494> (8799)

his head
<07218>_,

and fell down
<05307> (8799)

upon the ground
<0776>_,

and worshipped
<07812> (8691)_,

{mantle: or, robe}

1:21

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

Naked
<06174>

came I out
<03318> (8804)

of my mother's
<0517>

womb
<0990>_,

and naked
<06174>

shall I return
<07725> (8799)

thither: the LORD
<03068>

gave
<05414> (8804)_,

and the LORD
<03068>

hath taken away
<03947> (8804)_;

blessed
<01288> (8794)

be the name
<08034>

of the LORD
<03068>_.

1:22

In all this Job
<0347>

sinned
<02398> (8804)

not, nor charged
<05414> (8804)

God
<0430>

foolishly
<08604>_.

{charged...: or, attributed folly to God}

2:1

Again there was a day
<03117>

when the sons
<01121>

of God
<0430>

came
<0935> (8799)

to present
<03320> (8692)

themselves before the LORD
<03068>_,

and Satan
<07854>

came
<0935> (8799)

also among
<08432>

them to present
<03320> (8692)

himself before the LORD
<03068>_.

2:2

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Satan
<07854>_,

From whence
<0335>

comest
<0935> (8799)

thou? And Satan
<07854>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

From going to and fro
<07751> (8800)

in the earth
<0776>_,

and from walking up and down
<01980> (8692)

in it.

2:3

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Satan
<07854>_,

Hast thou
<07760> (8804)

considered
<03820>

my servant
<05650>

Job
<0347>_,

that [there is] none like him in the earth
<0776>_,

a perfect
<08535>

and an upright
<03477>

man
<0376>_,

one that feareth
<03373>

God
<0430>_,

and escheweth
<05493> (8802)

evil
<07451>_?

and still he holdeth fast
<02388> (8688)

his integrity
<08538>_,

although thou movedst
<05496> (8686)

me against him, to destroy
<01104> (8763)

him without cause
<02600>_.

{to destroy...: Heb. to swallow him up}

2:4

And Satan
<07854>

answered
<06030> (8799)

the LORD
<03068>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Skin
<05785>

for skin
<05785>_,

yea, all that a man
<0376>

hath will he give
<05414> (8799)

for his life
<05315>_.

2:5

But
<0199>

put forth
<07971> (8798)

thine hand
<03027>

now, and touch
<05060> (8798)

his bone
<06106>

and his flesh
<01320>_,

and he will curse
<01288> (8762)

thee to thy face
<06440>_.

2:6

And the LORD
<03068>

said
<0559> (8799)

unto Satan
<07854>_,

Behold, he [is] in thine hand
<03027>_;

but save
<08104> (8798)

his life
<05315>_.

{but: or, only}

2:7

So went
<03318> (0)

Satan
<07854>

forth
<03318> (8799)

from the presence
<06440>

of the LORD
<03068>_,

and smote
<05221> (8686)

Job
<0347>

with sore
<07451>

boils
<07822>

from the sole
<03709>

of his foot
<07272>

unto his crown
<06936>_.

2:8

And he took
<03947> (8799)

him a potsherd
<02789>

to scrape
<01623> (8692)

himself withal; and he sat down
<03427> (8802)

among
<08432>

the ashes
<0665>_.

2:9

Then said
<0559> (8799)

his wife
<0802>

unto him, Dost thou still retain
<02388> (8688)

thine integrity
<08538>_?

curse
<01288> (8761)

God
<0430>_,

and die
<04191> (8798)_.

2:10

But he said
<0559> (8799)

unto her, Thou speakest
<01696> (8762)

as one
<0259>

of the foolish women
<05036>

speaketh
<01696> (8763)_.

What
<01571>_?

shall we receive
<06901> (8762)

good
<02896>

at the hand of God
<0430>_,

and shall we not receive
<06901> (8762)

evil
<07451>_?

In all this did not Job
<0347>

sin
<02398> (8804)

with his lips
<08193>_.

2:11

Now when Job's
<0347>

three
<07969>

friends
<07453>

heard
<08085> (8799)

of all this evil
<07451>

that was come
<0935> (8802)

upon him, they came
<0935> (8799)

every one
<0376>

from his own place
<04725>_;

Eliphaz
<0464>

the Temanite
<08489>_,

and Bildad
<01085>

the Shuhite
<07747>_,

and Zophar
<06691>

the Naamathite
<05284>_:

for they had made an appointment
<03259> (8735)

together
<03162>

to come
<0935> (8800)

to mourn
<05110> (8800)

with him and to comfort
<05162> (8763)

him.

2:12

And when they lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their eyes
<05869>

afar off
<07350>_,

and knew
<05234> (8689)

him not, they lifted up
<05375> (8799)

their voice
<06963>_,

and wept
<01058> (8799)_;

and they rent
<07167> (8799)

every one
<0376>

his mantle
<04598>_,

and sprinkled
<02236> (8799)

dust
<06083>

upon their heads
<07218>

toward heaven
<08064>_.

2:13

So they sat down
<03427> (8799)

with him upon the ground
<0776>

seven
<07651>

days
<03117>

and seven
<07651>

nights
<03915>_,

and none spake
<01696> (8802)

a word
<01697>

unto him: for they saw
<07200> (8804)

that [his] grief
<03511>

was very
<03966>

great
<01431> (8804)_.

3:1

After
<0310>

this opened
<06605> (8804)

Job
<0347>

his mouth
<06310>_,

and cursed
<07043> (8762)

his day
<03117>_.

3:2

And Job
<0347>

spake
<06030> (8799)_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

{spake: Heb. answered}

3:3

Let the day
<03117>

perish
<06> (8799)

wherein I was born
<03205> (8735)_,

and the night
<03915>

[in which] it was said
<0559> (8804)_,

There is a man child
<01397>

conceived
<02029> (8795)_.

3:4

Let that day
<03117>

be darkness
<02822>_;

let not God
<0433>

regard
<01875> (8799)

it from above
<04605>_,

neither let the light
<05105>

shine
<03313> (8686)

upon it.

3:5

Let darkness
<02822>

and the shadow of death
<06757>

stain
<01350> (8799)

it; let a cloud
<06053>

dwell
<07931> (8799)

upon it; let the blackness
<03650>

of the day
<03117>

terrify
<01204> (8762)

it. {stain: or, challenge} {let the...: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day}

3:6

As [for] that night
<03915>_,

let darkness
<0652>

seize
<03947> (8799)

upon it; let it not be joined
<02302> (8799)

unto the days
<03117>

of the year
<08141>_,

let it not come
<0935> (8799)

into the number
<04557>

of the months
<03391>_.

{let it not be...: or, let it not rejoice among the days}

3:7

Lo, let that night
<03915>

be solitary
<01565>_,

let no joyful voice
<07445>

come
<0935> (8799)

therein.

3:8

Let them curse
<05344> (8799)

it that curse
<0779> (8802)

the day
<03117>_,

who are ready
<06264>

to raise up
<05782> (8788)

their mourning
<03882>_.

{their...: or, leviathan}

3:9

Let the stars
<03556>

of the twilight
<05399>

thereof be dark
<02821> (8799)_;

let it look
<06960> (8762)

for light
<0216>_,

but [have] none; neither let it see
<07200> (8799)

the dawning
<06079>

of the day
<07837>_:

{the dawning...: Heb. the eyelids of the morning}

3:10

Because it shut not up
<05462> (8804)

the doors
<01817>

of my [mother's] womb
<0990>_,

nor hid
<05641> (8686)

sorrow
<05999>

from mine eyes
<05869>_.

3:11

Why died
<04191> (8799)

I not from the womb
<07358>_?

[why] did I [not] give up the ghost
<01478> (8799)

when I came out
<03318> (8804)

of the belly
<0990>_?

3:12

Why did the knees
<01290>

prevent
<06923> (8765)

me? or why the breasts
<07699>

that I should suck
<03243> (8799)_?

3:13

For now should I have lain still
<07901> (8804)

and been quiet
<08252> (8799)_,

I should have slept
<03462> (8804)_:

then had I been at rest
<05117> (8799)_,

3:14

With kings
<04428>

and counsellors
<03289> (8802)

of the earth
<0776>_,

which built
<01129> (8802)

desolate places
<02723>

for themselves;

3:15

Or with princes
<08269>

that had gold
<02091>_,

who filled
<04390> (8764)

their houses
<01004>

with silver
<03701>_:

3:16

Or as an hidden
<02934> (8803)

untimely birth
<05309>

I had not been; as infants
<05768>

[which] never saw
<07200> (8804)

light
<0216>_.

3:17

There the wicked
<07563>

cease
<02308> (8804)

[from] troubling
<07267>_;

and there the weary
<03019> <03581>

be at rest
<05117> (8799)_.

{weary: Heb. wearied in strength}

3:18

[There] the prisoners
<0615>

rest
<07599> (8768)

together
<03162>_;

they hear
<08085> (8804)

not the voice
<06963>

of the oppressor
<05065> (8802)_.

3:19

The small
<06996>

and great
<01419>

are there; and the servant
<05650>

[is] free
<02670>

from his master
<0113>_.

3:20

Wherefore is light
<0216>

given
<05414> (8799)

to him that is in misery
<06001>_,

and life
<02416>

unto the bitter
<04751>

[in] soul
<05315>_;

3:21

Which long
<02442> (8764)

for death
<04194>_,

but it [cometh] not; and dig
<02658> (8799)

for it more than for hid treasures
<04301>_;

{long: Heb. wait}

3:22

Which rejoice
<08056>

exceedingly
<01524>_,

[and] are glad
<07797> (8799)_,

when they can find
<04672> (8799)

the grave
<06913>_?

3:23

[Why is light given] to a man
<01397>

whose way
<01870>

is hid
<05641> (8738)_,

and whom God
<0433>

hath hedged in
<05526> (8686)_?

3:24

For my sighing
<0585>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

before
<06440>

I eat
<03899>_,

and my roarings
<07581>

are poured out
<05413> (8799)

like the waters
<04325>_.

{I eat: Heb. my meat}

3:25

For the thing which I greatly
<06343>

feared
<06342> (8804)

is come
<0857> (8799)

upon me, and that which I was afraid
<03025> (8804)

of is come
<0935> (8799)

unto me. {the thing...: Heb. I feared a fear, and it came upon me}

3:26

I was not in safety
<07951> (8804)_,

neither had I rest
<08252> (8804)_,

neither was I quiet
<05117> (8804)_;

yet trouble
<07267>

came
<0935> (8799)_.
