Job 26:1--27:23

26:1

But Job
<0347>

answered
<06030> (8799)

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

26:2

How hast thou helped
<05826> (8804)

[him that is] without power
<03581>_?

[how] savest
<03467> (8689)

thou the arm
<02220>

[that hath] no
<03808>

strength
<05797>_?

26:3

How hast thou counselled
<03289> (8804)

[him that hath] no
<03808>

wisdom
<02451>_?

and [how] hast thou plentifully
<07230>

declared
<03045> (8689)

the thing as it is
<08454>_?

26:4

To whom hast thou uttered
<05046> (8689)

words
<04405>_?

and whose spirit
<05397>

came
<03318> (8804)

from thee?

26:5

Dead
<07496>

[things] are formed
<02342> (8787)

from under the waters
<04325>_,

and the inhabitants
<07931> (8802)

thereof. {and the...: or, with the inhabitants}

26:6

Hell
<07585>

[is] naked
<06174>

before him, and destruction
<011>

hath no covering
<03682>_.

26:7

He stretcheth out
<05186> (8802)

the north
<06828>

over the empty place
<08414>_,

[and] hangeth
<08518> (8802)

the earth
<0776>

upon nothing
<01099>_.

26:8

He bindeth up
<06887> (8802)

the waters
<04325>

in his thick clouds
<05645>_;

and the cloud
<06051>

is not rent
<01234> (8738)

under them.

26:9

He holdeth back
<0270> (8764)

the face
<06440>

of his throne
<03678>_,

[and] spreadeth
<06576> (8768)

his cloud
<06051>

upon it.

26:10

He hath compassed
<02328> (8804)

the waters
<06440> <04325>

with bounds
<02706>_,

until the day
<0216>

and night
<02822>

come to an end
<08503>_.

{until...: Heb. until the end of light with darkness}

26:11

The pillars
<05982>

of heaven
<08064>

tremble
<07322> (8787)

and are astonished
<08539> (8799)

at his reproof
<01606>_.

26:12

He divideth
<07280> (8804)

the sea
<03220>

with his power
<03581>_,

and by his understanding
<08394> (8675) <08394>

he smiteth
<04272> (8804)

through the proud
<07293>_.

{the proud: Heb. pride}

26:13

By his spirit
<07307>

he hath garnished
<08235> (8765)

the heavens
<08064>_;

his hand
<03027>

hath formed
<02342> (8790)

the crooked
<01281>

serpent
<05175>_.

26:14

Lo, these [are] parts
<07098>

of his ways
<01870>_:

but how little
<08102>

a portion
<01697>

is heard
<08085> (8738)

of him? but the thunder
<07482>

of his power
<01369>

who can understand
<0995> (8709)_?

27:1

Moreover Job
<0347>

continued
<03254> (8686) <05375> (8800)

his parable
<04912>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

{continued: Heb. added to take up}

27:2

[As] God
<0410>

liveth
<02416>_,

[who] hath taken away
<05493> (8689)

my judgment
<04941>_;

and the Almighty
<07706>_,

[who] hath vexed
<04843> (8689)

my soul
<05315>_;

{vexed...: Heb. made my soul bitter}

27:3

All the while
<05750>

my breath
<05397>

[is] in me, and the spirit
<07307>

of God
<0433>

[is] in my nostrils
<0639>_;

{the spirit...: that is, the breath which God gave him}

27:4

My lips
<08193>

shall not speak
<01696> (8762)

wickedness
<05766>_,

nor my tongue
<03956>

utter
<01897> (8799)

deceit
<07423>_.

27:5

God forbid
<02486>

that I should justify
<06663> (8686)

you: till I die
<01478> (8799)

I will not remove
<05493> (8686)

mine integrity
<08538>

from me.

27:6

My righteousness
<06666>

I hold
<02388> (8689)

fast, and will not let it go
<07503> (8686)_:

my heart
<03824>

shall not reproach
<02778> (8799)

[me] so long as I live
<03117>_.

{so long...: Heb. from my days}

27:7

Let mine enemy
<0341> (8802)

be as the wicked
<07563>_,

and he that riseth up
<06965> (8693)

against me as the unrighteous
<05767>_.

27:8

For what [is] the hope
<08615>

of the hypocrite
<02611>_,

though he hath gained
<01214> (8799)_,

when God
<0433>

taketh away
<07953> (8799)

his soul
<05315>_?

27:9

Will God
<0410>

hear
<08085> (8799)

his cry
<06818>

when trouble
<06869>

cometh
<0935> (8799)

upon him?

27:10

Will he delight
<06026> (8691)

himself in the Almighty
<07706>_?

will he always
<06256>

call
<07121> (8799)

upon God
<0433>_?

27:11

I will teach
<03384> (8686)

you by the hand
<03027>

of God
<0410>_:

[that] which [is] with the Almighty
<07706>

will I not conceal
<03582> (8762)_.

{by...: or, being in the hand, etc}

27:12

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen
<02372> (8804)

[it]; why then are ye thus altogether
<01892>

vain
<01891> (8799)_?

27:13

This [is] the portion
<02506>

of a wicked
<07563>

man
<0120>

with God
<0410>_,

and the heritage
<05159>

of oppressors
<06184>_,

[which] they shall receive
<03947> (8799)

of the Almighty
<07706>_.

27:14

If his children
<01121>

be multiplied
<07235> (8799)_,

[it is] for
<03926>

the sword
<02719>_:

and his offspring
<06631>

shall not be satisfied
<07646> (8799)

with bread
<03899>_.

27:15

Those that remain
<08300>

of him shall be buried
<06912> (8735)

in death
<04194>_:

and his widows
<0490>

shall not weep
<01058> (8799)_.

27:16

Though he heap up
<06651> (8799)

silver
<03701>

as the dust
<06083>_,

and prepare
<03559> (8686)

raiment
<04403>

as the clay
<02563>_;

27:17

He may prepare
<03559> (8686)

[it], but the just
<06662>

shall put [it] on
<03847> (8799)_,

and the innocent
<05355>

shall divide
<02505> (8799)

the silver
<03701>_.

27:18

He buildeth
<01129> (8804)

his house
<01004>

as a moth
<06211>_,

and as a booth
<05521>

[that] the keeper
<05341> (8802)

maketh
<06213> (8804)_.

27:19

The rich
<06223>

man shall lie down
<07901> (8799)_,

but he shall not be gathered
<0622> (8735)_:

he openeth
<06491> (8804)

his eyes
<05869>_,

and he [is] not.

27:20

Terrors
<01091>

take hold
<05381> (8686)

on him as waters
<04325>_,

a tempest
<05492>

stealeth him away
<01589> (8804)

in the night
<03915>_.

27:21

The east
<06921>

wind carrieth him away
<05375> (8799)_,

and he departeth
<03212> (8799)_:

and as a storm hurleth
<08175> (8762)

him out of his place
<04725>_.

27:22

For [God] shall cast
<07993> (8686)

upon him, and not spare
<02550> (8799)_:

he would fain
<01272> (8800)

flee
<01272> (8799)

out of his hand
<03027>_.

{he...: Heb. in fleeing he would flee}

27:23

[Men] shall clap
<05606> (8799)

their hands
<03709>

at him, and shall hiss
<08319> (8799)

him out of his place
<04725>_.
