Job 1:1--7:21

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)_.

4:1

Then Eliphaz
<0464>

the Temanite
<08489>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

4:2

[If] we assay
<05254> (8765)

to commune
<01697>

with thee, wilt thou be grieved
<03811> (8799)_?

but who can
<03201> (8799)

withhold
<06113> (8800)

himself from speaking
<04405>_?

{to...: Heb. a word} {withhold...: Heb. refrain from words?}

4:3

Behold, thou hast instructed
<03256> (8765)

many
<07227>_,

and thou hast strengthened
<02388> (8762)

the weak
<07504>

hands
<03027>_.

4:4

Thy words
<04405>

have upholden
<06965> (8686)

him that was falling
<03782> (8802)_,

and thou hast strengthened
<0553> (8762)

the feeble
<03766> (8802)

knees
<01290>_.

4:5

But now it is come
<0935> (8799)

upon thee, and thou faintest
<03811> (8799)_;

it toucheth
<05060> (8799)

thee, and thou art troubled
<0926> (8735)_.

4:6

[Is] not [this] thy fear
<03374>_,

thy confidence
<03690>_,

thy hope
<08615>_,

and the uprightness
<08537>

of thy ways
<01870>_?

4:7

Remember
<02142> (8798)_,

I pray thee, who [ever] perished
<06> (8804)_,

being innocent
<05355>_?

or where
<0375>

were the righteous
<03477>

cut off
<03582> (8738)_?

4:8

Even as I have seen
<07200> (8804)_,

they that plow
<02790> (8802)

iniquity
<0205>_,

and sow
<02232> (8802)

wickedness
<05999>_,

reap
<07114> (8799)

the same.

4:9

By the blast
<05397>

of God
<0433>

they perish
<06> (8799)_,

and by the breath
<07307>

of his nostrils
<0639>

are they consumed
<03615> (8799)_.

{by the breath...: that is, by his anger}

4:10

The roaring
<07581>

of the lion
<0738>_,

and the voice
<06963>

of the fierce lion
<07826>_,

and the teeth
<08127>

of the young lions
<03715>_,

are broken
<05421> (8738)_.

4:11

The old lion
<03918>

perisheth
<06> (8802)

for lack
<01097>

of prey
<02964>_,

and the stout lion's
<03833>

whelps
<01121>

are scattered abroad
<06504> (8691)_.

4:12

Now a thing
<01697>

was secretly brought
<01589> (8792)

to me, and mine ear
<0241>

received
<03947> (8799)

a little
<08102>

thereof. {secretly: Heb. by stealth}

4:13

In thoughts
<05587>

from the visions
<02384>

of the night
<03915>_,

when deep sleep
<08639>

falleth
<05307> (8800)

on men
<0582>_,

4:14

Fear
<06343>

came
<07122> (8804)

upon me, and trembling
<07461>_,

which made all
<07230>

my bones
<06106>

to shake
<06342> (8689)_.

{came...: Heb. met} {all: Heb. the multitude of}

4:15

Then a spirit
<07307>

passed
<02498> (8799)

before my face
<06440>_;

the hair
<08185>

of my flesh
<01320>

stood up
<05568> (8762)_:

4:16

It stood still
<05975> (8799)_,

but I could not discern
<05234> (8686)

the form
<04758>

thereof: an image
<08544>

[was] before mine eyes
<05869>_,

[there was] silence
<01827>_,

and I heard
<08085> (8799)

a voice
<06963>_,

[saying], {there...: or, I heard a still voice}

4:17

Shall mortal man
<0582>

be more just
<06663> (8799)

than God
<0433>_?

shall a man
<01397>

be more pure
<02891> (8799)

than his maker
<06213> (8802)_?

4:18

Behold, he put no trust
<0539> (8686)

in his servants
<05650>_;

and his angels
<04397>

he charged
<07760> (8799)

with folly
<08417>_:

{and his...: or, nor in his angels, in whom he put light}

4:19

How much less
<0637>

[in] them that dwell
<07931> (8802)

in houses
<01004>

of clay
<02563>_,

whose foundation
<03247>

[is] in the dust
<06083>_,

[which] are crushed
<01792> (8762)

before
<06440>

the moth
<06211>_?

4:20

They are destroyed
<03807> (8714)

from morning
<01242>

to evening
<06153>_:

they perish
<06> (8799)

for ever
<05331>

without any regarding
<07760> (8688)

[it]. {destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}

4:21

Doth not their excellency
<03499>

[which is] in them go away
<05265> (8738)_?

they die
<04191> (8799)_,

even without wisdom
<02451>_.

5:1

Call
<07121> (8798)

now, if there be
<03426>

any that will answer
<06030> (8802)

thee; and to which of the saints
<06918>

wilt thou turn
<06437> (8799)_?

{turn: or, look?}

5:2

For wrath
<03708>

killeth
<02026> (8799)

the foolish man
<0191>_,

and envy
<07068>

slayeth
<04191> (8686)

the silly one
<06601> (8802)_.

{envy: or, indignation}

5:3

I have seen
<07200> (8804)

the foolish
<0191>

taking root
<08327> (8688)_:

but suddenly
<06597>

I cursed
<05344> (8799)

his habitation
<05116>_.

5:4

His children
<01121>

are far
<07368> (8799)

from safety
<03468>_,

and they are crushed
<01792> (8691)

in the gate
<08179>_,

neither [is there] any to deliver
<05337> (8688)

[them].

5:5

Whose harvest
<07105>

the hungry
<07457>

eateth up
<0398> (8799)_,

and taketh
<03947> (8799)

it even out
<0413>

of the thorns
<06791>_,

and the robber
<06782>

swalloweth up
<07602> (8804)

their substance
<02428>_.

5:6

Although affliction
<0205>

cometh not forth
<03318> (8799)

of the dust
<06083>_,

neither doth trouble
<05999>

spring out
<06779> (8799)

of the ground
<0127>_;

{affliction: or, iniquity}

5:7

Yet man
<0120>

is born
<03205> (8795)

unto trouble
<05999>_,

as the sparks
<01121> <07565>

fly
<05774> (8800)

upward
<01361> (8686)_.

{trouble: or, labour} {sparks...: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly}

5:8

I would seek
<0199> <01875> (8799)

unto God
<0410>_,

and unto God
<0430>

would I commit
<07760> (8799)

my cause
<01700>_:

5:9

Which doeth
<06213> (8802)

great things
<01419>

and unsearchable
<0369> <02714>_;

marvellous things
<06381> (8737)

without number
<04557>_:

{unsearchable: Heb. there is no search} {without...: Heb. till there be no number}

5:10

Who giveth
<05414> (8802)

rain
<04306>

upon
<06440>

the earth
<0776>_,

and sendeth
<07971> (8802)

waters
<04325>

upon
<06440>

the fields
<02351>_:

{fields: Heb. outplaces}

5:11

To set up
<07760> (8800)

on high
<04791>

those that be low
<08217>_;

that those which mourn
<06937> (8802)

may be exalted
<07682> (8804)

to safety
<03468>_.

5:12

He disappointeth
<06565> (8688)

the devices
<04284>

of the crafty
<06175>_,

so that their hands
<03027>

cannot perform
<06213> (8799)

[their] enterprise
<08454>_.

{their enterprise: or, any thing}

5:13

He taketh
<03920> (8802)

the wise
<02450>

in their own craftiness
<06193>_:

and the counsel
<06098>

of the froward
<06617> (8737)

is carried headlong
<04116> (8737)_.

5:14

They meet
<06298> (8762)

with darkness
<02822>

in the daytime
<03119>_,

and grope
<04959> (8762)

in the noonday
<06672>

as in the night
<03915>_.

{meet...: or, run into}

5:15

But he saveth
<03467> (8686)

the poor
<034>

from the sword
<02719>_,

from their mouth
<06310>_,

and from the hand
<03027>

of the mighty
<02389>_.

5:16

So the poor
<01800>

hath hope
<08615>_,

and iniquity
<05766>

stoppeth
<07092> (8804)

her mouth
<06310>_.

5:17

Behold, happy
<0835>

[is] the man
<0582>

whom God
<0433>

correcteth
<03198> (8686)_:

therefore despise
<03988> (8799)

not thou the chastening
<04148>

of the Almighty
<07706>_:

5:18

For he maketh sore
<03510> (8686)_,

and bindeth up
<02280> (8799)_:

he woundeth
<04272> (8799)_,

and his hands
<03027>

make whole
<07495> (8799)_.

5:19

He shall deliver
<05337> (8686)

thee in six
<08337>

troubles
<06869>_:

yea, in seven
<07651>

there shall no evil
<07451>

touch
<05060> (8799)

thee.

5:20

In famine
<07458>

he shall redeem
<06299> (8804)

thee from death
<04194>_:

and in war
<04421>

from the power
<03027>

of the sword
<02719>_.

{power: Heb. hands}

5:21

Thou shalt be hid
<02244> (8735)

from the scourge
<07752>

of the tongue
<03956>_:

neither shalt thou be afraid
<03372> (8799)

of destruction
<07701>

when it cometh
<0935> (8799)_.

{from...: or, when the tongue scourgeth}

5:22

At destruction
<07701>

and famine
<03720>

thou shalt laugh
<07832> (8799)_:

neither shalt thou be afraid
<03372> (8799)

of the beasts
<02416>

of the earth
<0776>_.

5:23

For thou shalt be in league
<01285>

with the stones
<068>

of the field
<07704>_:

and the beasts
<02416>

of the field
<07704>

shall be at peace
<07999> (8717)

with thee.

5:24

And thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

that thy tabernacle
<0168>

[shall be] in peace
<07965>_;

and thou shalt visit
<06485> (8804)

thy habitation
<05116>_,

and shalt not sin
<02398> (8799)_.

{thy tabernacle...: or, peace is thy tabernacle} {sin: or, err}

5:25

Thou shalt know
<03045> (8804)

also that thy seed
<02233>

[shall be] great
<07227>_,

and thine offspring
<06631>

as the grass
<06212>

of the earth
<0776>_.

{great: or, much}

5:26

Thou shalt come
<0935> (8799)

to [thy] grave
<06913>

in a full age
<03624>_,

like as a shock of corn
<01430>

cometh in
<05927> (8800)

in his season
<06256>_.

{cometh in: Heb. ascendeth}

5:27

Lo this, we have searched
<02713> (8804)

it, so it [is]; hear
<08085> (8798)

it, and know
<03045> (8798)

thou [it] for thy good. {for...: Heb. for thyself}

6:1

But Job
<0347>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

6:2

Oh that
<03863>

my grief
<03708>

were throughly
<08254> (8800)

weighed
<08254> (8735)_,

and my calamity
<01942> (8675) <01962>

laid
<05375> (8799)

in the balances
<03976>

together
<03162>_!

{laid: Heb. lifted up}

6:3

For now it would be heavier
<03513> (8799)

than the sand
<02344>

of the sea
<03220>_:

therefore my words
<01697>

are swallowed up
<03886> (8804)_.

{my words...: that is, I want words to express my grief}

6:4

For the arrows
<02671>

of the Almighty
<07706>

[are] within
<05978>

me, the poison
<02534>

whereof drinketh up
<08354> (8802)

my spirit
<07307>_:

the terrors
<01161>

of God
<0433>

do set themselves in array
<06186> (8799)

against me.

6:5

Doth the wild ass
<06501>

bray
<05101> (8799)

when he hath grass
<01877>_?

or loweth
<01600> (8799)

the ox
<07794>

over his fodder
<01098>_?

{when he...: Heb. at grass?}

6:6

Can that which is unsavoury
<08602>

be eaten
<0398> (8735)

without salt
<04417>_?

or is there
<03426>

[any] taste
<02940>

in the white
<07388>

of an egg
<02495>_?

6:7

The things [that] my soul
<05315>

refused
<03985> (8765)

to touch
<05060> (8800)

[are] as my sorrowful
<01741>

meat
<03899>_.

6:8

Oh that I might have
<0935> (8799)

my request
<07596>_;

and that God
<0433>

would grant
<05414> (8799)

[me] the thing that I long for
<08615>_!

{the thing...: Heb. my expectation}

6:9

Even that it would please
<02974> (8686)

God
<0433>

to destroy
<01792> (8762)

me; that he would let loose
<05425> (8686)

his hand
<03027>_,

and cut me off
<01214> (8762)_!

6:10

Then should I yet have comfort
<05165>_;

yea, I would harden
<05539> (8762)

myself in sorrow
<02427>_:

let him not spare
<02550> (8799)_;

for I have not concealed
<03582> (8765)

the words
<0561>

of the Holy One
<06918>_.

6:11

What [is] my strength
<03581>_,

that I should hope
<03176> (8762)_?

and what [is] mine end
<07093>_,

that I should prolong
<0748> (8686)

my life
<05315>_?

6:12

[Is] my strength
<03581>

the strength
<03581>

of stones
<068>_?

or [is] my flesh
<01320>

of brass
<05153>_?

{of brass: Heb. brasen?}

6:13

[Is] not my help
<05833>

in me? and is wisdom
<08454>

driven quite
<05080> (8738)

from me?

6:14

To him that is afflicted
<04523>

pity
<02617>

[should be shewed] from his friend
<07453>_;

but he forsaketh
<05800> (8799)

the fear
<03374>

of the Almighty
<07706>_.

{is afflicted: Heb. melteth}

6:15

My brethren
<0251>

have dealt deceitfully
<0898> (8804)

as a brook
<05158>_,

[and] as the stream
<0650>

of brooks
<05158>

they pass away
<05674> (8799)_;

6:16

Which are blackish
<06937> (8802)

by reason of the ice
<07140>_,

[and] wherein the snow
<07950>

is hid
<05956> (8691)_:

6:17

What time
<06256>

they wax warm
<02215> (8792)_,

they vanish
<06789> (8738)_:

when it is hot
<02527>_,

they are consumed out
<01846> (8738)

of their place
<04725>_.

{vanish: Heb. are cut off} {when...: Heb. in the heat thereof} {consumed: Heb. extinguished}

6:18

The paths
<0734>

of their way
<01870>

are turned aside
<03943> (8735)_;

they go
<05927> (8799)

to nothing
<08414>_,

and perish
<06> (8799)_.

6:19

The troops
<0734>

of Tema
<08485>

looked
<05027> (8689)_,

the companies
<01979>

of Sheba
<07614>

waited
<06960> (8765)

for them.

6:20

They were confounded
<0954> (8804)

because they had hoped
<0982> (8804)_;

they came
<0935> (8804)

thither, and were ashamed
<02659> (8799)_.

6:21

For now ye are nothing; ye see
<07200> (8799)

[my] casting down
<02866>_,

and are afraid
<03372> (8799)_.

{ye are...: or, ye are like to them: Heb. to it} {nothing: Heb. not}

6:22

Did I say
<0559> (8804)_,

Bring
<03051> (8798)

unto me? or, Give a reward
<07809> (8798)

for me of your substance
<03581>_?

6:23

Or, Deliver
<04422> (8761)

me from the enemy's
<06862>

hand
<03027>_?

or, Redeem
<06299> (8799)

me from the hand
<03027>

of the mighty
<06184>_?

6:24

Teach
<03384> (8685)

me, and I will hold my tongue
<02790> (8686)_:

and cause me to understand
<0995> (8685)

wherein I have erred
<07686> (8804)_.

6:25

How forcible
<04834> (8738)

are right
<03476>

words
<0561>_!

but what doth your arguing
<03198> (8687)

reprove
<03198> (8686)_?

6:26

Do ye imagine
<02803> (8799)

to reprove
<03198> (8687)

words
<04405>_,

and the speeches
<0561>

of one that is desperate
<02976> (8737)_,

[which are] as wind
<07307>_?

6:27

Yea, ye overwhelm
<05307> (8686)

the fatherless
<03490>_,

and ye dig
<03738> (8799)

[a pit] for your friend
<07453>_.

{ye overwhelm: Heb. ye cause to fall upon}

6:28

Now therefore be content
<02974> (8685)_,

look
<06437> (8798)

upon me; for [it is] evident
<06440>

unto you if I lie
<03576> (8762)_.

{evident...: Heb. before your face}

6:29

Return
<07725> (8798)_,

I pray you, let it not be iniquity
<05766>_;

yea, return again
<07725> (8798)_,

my righteousness
<06664>

[is] in it. {in it: that is, in this matter}

6:30

Is there
<03426>

iniquity
<05766>

in my tongue
<03956>_?

cannot my taste
<02441>

discern
<0995> (8799)

perverse things
<01942>_?

{my taste: Heb. my palate}

7:1

[Is there] not an appointed time
<06635>

to man
<0582>

upon earth
<0776>_?

[are not] his days
<03117>

also like the days
<03117>

of an hireling
<07916>_?

{an appointed...: or, a warfare}

7:2

As a servant
<05650>

earnestly desireth
<07602> (8799)

the shadow
<06738>_,

and as an hireling
<07916>

looketh
<06960> (8762)

for [the reward of] his work
<06467>_:

{earnestly...: Heb. gapeth after}

7:3

So am I made to possess
<05157> (8717)

months
<03391>

of vanity
<07723>_,

and wearisome
<05999>

nights
<03915>

are appointed
<04487> (8765)

to me.

7:4

When I lie down
<07901> (8804)_,

I say
<0559> (8804)_,

When shall I arise
<06965> (8799)_,

and the night
<06153>

be gone
<04059>_?

and I am full
<07646> (8804)

of tossings to and fro
<05076>

unto the dawning of the day
<05399>_.

{the night...: Heb. the evening be measured?}

7:5

My flesh
<01320>

is clothed
<03847> (8804)

with worms
<07415>

and clods
<01487>

of dust
<06083>_;

my skin
<05785>

is broken
<07280> (8804)_,

and become loathsome
<03988> (8735)_.

7:6

My days
<03117>

are swifter
<07043> (8804)

than a weaver's shuttle
<0708>_,

and are spent
<03615> (8799)

without
<0657>

hope
<08615>_.

7:7

O remember
<02142> (8798)

that my life
<02416>

[is] wind
<07307>_:

mine eye
<05869>

shall no more
<07725> (8799)

see
<07200> (8800)

good
<02896>_.

{shall...: Heb. shall not return} {see: to see, that is, to enjoy}

7:8

The eye
<05869>

of him that hath seen
<07210>

me shall see
<07789> (8799)

me no [more]: thine eyes
<05869>

[are] upon me, and I [am] not. {I am...: that is, I can live no longer}

7:9

[As] the cloud
<06051>

is consumed
<03615> (8804)

and vanisheth away
<03212> (8799)_:

so he that goeth down
<03381> (8802)

to the grave
<07585>

shall come up
<05927> (8799)

no [more].

7:10

He shall return
<07725> (8799)

no more to his house
<01004>_,

neither shall his place
<04725>

know
<05234> (8686)

him any more.

7:11

Therefore I will not refrain
<02820> (8799)

my mouth
<06310>_;

I will speak
<01696> (8762)

in the anguish
<06862>

of my spirit
<07307>_;

I will complain
<07878> (8799)

in the bitterness
<04751>

of my soul
<05315>_.

7:12

[Am] I a sea
<03220>_,

or a whale
<08577>_,

that thou settest
<07760> (8799)

a watch
<04929>

over me?

7:13

When I say
<0559> (8804)_,

My bed
<06210>

shall comfort
<05162> (8762)

me, my couch
<04904>

shall ease
<05375> (8799)

my complaint
<07879>_;

7:14

Then thou scarest
<02865> (8765)

me with dreams
<02472>_,

and terrifiest
<01204> (8762)

me through visions
<02384>_:

7:15

So that my soul
<05315>

chooseth
<0977> (8799)

strangling
<04267>_,

[and] death
<04194>

rather than my life
<06106>_.

{life: Heb. bones}

7:16

I loathe
<03988> (8804)

[it]; I would not live
<02421> (8799)

alway
<05769>_:

let me alone
<02308> (8798)_;

for my days
<03117>

[are] vanity
<01892>_.

7:17

What [is] man
<0582>_,

that thou shouldest magnify
<01431> (8762)

him? and that thou shouldest set
<07896> (8799)

thine heart
<03820>

upon him?

7:18

And [that] thou shouldest visit
<06485> (8799)

him every morning
<01242>_,

[and] try
<0974> (8799)

him every moment
<07281>_?

7:19

How long
<04100>

wilt thou not depart
<08159> (8799)

from me, nor let me alone
<07503> (8686)

till I swallow down
<01104> (8800)

my spittle
<07536>_?

7:20

I have sinned
<02398> (8804)_;

what shall I do
<06466> (8799)

unto thee, O thou preserver
<05341> (8802)

of men
<0120>_?

why hast thou set
<07760> (8804)

me as a mark
<04645>

against thee, so that I am a burden
<04853>

to myself?

7:21

And why dost thou not pardon
<05375> (8799)

my transgression
<06588>_,

and take away
<05674> (8686)

mine iniquity
<05771>_?

for now shall I sleep
<07901> (8799)

in the dust
<06083>_;

and thou shalt seek me in the morning
<07836> (8765)_,

but I [shall] not [be].
