Job 28:1--31:40

Surely
<03426>
there is a vein
<04161>
for the silver
<03701>_,
and a place
<04725>
for gold
<02091>
[where] they fine
<02212> (8799)
[it]. {vein: or, mine}
Iron
<01270>
is taken
<03947> (8714)
out of the earth
<06083>_,
and brass
<05154>
[is] molten
<06694> (8799)
[out of] the stone
<068>_.
{earth: or, dust}
He setteth
<07760> (8804)
an end
<07093>
to darkness
<02822>_,
and searcheth out
<02713> (8802)
all perfection
<08503>_:
the stones
<068>
of darkness
<0652>_,
and the shadow of death
<06757>_.
The flood
<05158>
breaketh out
<06555> (8804)
from the inhabitant
<01481> (8802)_;
[even the waters] forgotten
<07911> (8737)
of the foot
<07272>_:
they are dried up
<01809> (8804)_,
they are gone away
<05128> (8804)
from men
<0582>_.
[As for] the earth
<0776>_,
out of it cometh
<03318> (8799)
bread
<03899>_:
and under it is turned up
<02015> (8738)
as it were fire
<0784>_.
The stones
<068>
of it [are] the place
<04725>
of sapphires
<05601>_:
and it hath dust
<06083>
of gold
<02091>_.
{dust...: or, gold ore}
[There is] a path
<05410>
which no fowl
<05861>
knoweth
<03045> (8804)_,
and which the vulture's
<0344>
eye
<05869>
hath not seen
<07805> (8804)_:
The lion's
<07830>
whelps
<01121>
have not trodden
<01869> (8689)
it, nor the fierce lion
<07826>
passed
<05710> (8804)
by it.
He putteth forth
<07971> (8804)
his hand
<03027>
upon the rock
<02496>_;
he overturneth
<02015> (8804)
the mountains
<02022>
by the roots
<08328>_.
{rock: or, flint}
He cutteth out
<01234> (8765)
rivers
<02975>
among the rocks
<06697>_;
and his eye
<05869>
seeth
<07200> (8804)
every precious thing
<03366>_.
He bindeth
<02280> (8765)
the floods
<05104>
from overflowing
<01065>_;
and [the thing that is] hid
<08587>
bringeth he forth
<03318> (8686)
to light
<0216>_.
{overflowing: Heb. weeping}
But where
<0370>
shall wisdom
<02451>
be found
<04672> (8735)_?
and where [is] the place
<04725>
of understanding
<0998>_?
Man
<0582>
knoweth
<03045> (8804)
not the price
<06187>
thereof; neither is it found
<04672> (8735)
in the land
<0776>
of the living
<02416>_.
The depth
<08415>
saith
<0559> (8804)_,
It [is] not in me: and the sea
<03220>
saith
<0559> (8804)_,
[It is] not with me.
It cannot be gotten
<05414> (8714)
for gold
<05458>_,
neither shall silver
<03701>
be weighed
<08254> (8735)
[for] the price
<04242>
thereof. {It...: Heb. Fine gold shall not be given for it}
It cannot be valued
<05541> (8792)
with the gold
<03800>
of Ophir
<0211>_,
with the precious
<03368>
onyx
<07718>_,
or the sapphire
<05601>_.
The gold
<02091>
and the crystal
<02137>
cannot equal
<06186> (8799)
it: and the exchange
<08545>
of it [shall not be for] jewels
<03627>
of fine gold
<06337>_.
{jewels...: or, vessels of}
No mention
<02142> (8735)
shall be made of coral
<07215>_,
or of pearls
<01378>_:
for the price
<04901>
of wisdom
<02451>
[is] above rubies
<06443>_.
{coral: or, Ramoth}
The topaz
<06357>
of Ethiopia
<03568>
shall not equal
<06186> (8799)
it, neither shall it be valued
<05541> (8792)
with pure
<02889>
gold
<03800>_.
Whence
<0370>
then cometh
<0935> (8799)
wisdom
<02451>_?
and where [is] the place
<04725>
of understanding
<0998>_?
Seeing it is hid
<05956> (8738)
from the eyes
<05869>
of all living
<02416>_,
and kept close
<05641> (8738)
from the fowls
<05775>
of the air
<08064>_.
{air: or, heaven}
Destruction
<011>
and death
<04194>
say
<0559> (8804)_,
We have heard
<08085> (8804)
the fame
<08088>
thereof with our ears
<0241>_.
God
<0430>
understandeth
<0995> (8689)
the way
<01870>
thereof, and he knoweth
<03045> (8804)
the place
<04725>
thereof.
For he looketh
<05027> (8686)
to the ends
<07098>
of the earth
<0776>_,
[and] seeth
<07200> (8799)
under the whole heaven
<08064>_;
To make
<06213> (8800)
the weight
<04948>
for the winds
<07307>_;
and he weigheth
<08505> (8765)
the waters
<04325>
by measure
<04060>_.
When he made
<06213> (8800)
a decree
<02706>
for the rain
<04306>_,
and a way
<01870>
for the lightning
<02385>
of the thunder
<06963>_:
Then did he see
<07200> (8804)
it, and declare
<05608> (8762)
it; he prepared
<03559> (8689)
it, yea, and searched it out
<02713> (8804)_.
{declare...: or, number it}
And unto man
<0120>
he said
<0559> (8799)_,
Behold, the fear
<03374>
of the Lord
<0136>_,
that [is] wisdom
<02451>_;
and to depart
<05493> (8800)
from evil
<07451>
[is] understanding
<0998>_.
Moreover Job
<0347>
continued
<03254> (8686) <05375> (8800)
his parable
<04912>_,
and said
<0559> (8799)_,
{continued: Heb. added to take up}
Oh that
<05414> (8799)
I were as [in] months
<03391>
past
<06924>_,
as [in] the days
<03117>
[when] God
<0433>
preserved
<08104> (8799)
me;
When his candle
<05216>
shined
<01984> (8800)
upon my head
<07218>_,
[and when] by his light
<0216>
I walked
<03212> (8799)
[through] darkness
<02822>_;
{candle: or, lamp}
As I was in the days
<03117>
of my youth
<02779>_,
when the secret
<05475>
of God
<0433>
[was] upon my tabernacle
<0168>_;
When the Almighty
<07706>
[was] yet with me, [when] my children
<05288>
[were] about
<05439>
me;
When I washed
<07364> (8800)
my steps
<01978>
with butter
<02529>_,
and the rock
<06697>
poured me out
<06694> (8799)
rivers
<06388>
of oil
<08081>_;
{me: Heb. with me}
When I went out
<03318> (8800)
to the gate
<08179>
through the city
<07176>_,
[when] I prepared
<03559> (8686)
my seat
<04186>
in the street
<07339>_!
The young men
<05288>
saw
<07200> (8804)
me, and hid
<02244> (8738)
themselves: and the aged
<03453>
arose
<06965> (8804)_,
[and] stood up
<05975> (8804)_.
The princes
<08269>
refrained
<06113> (8804)
talking
<04405>_,
and laid
<07760> (8799)
[their] hand
<03709>
on their mouth
<06310>_.
The nobles
<05057>
held
<02244> (8738)
their peace
<06963>_,
and their tongue
<03956>
cleaved
<01692> (8804)
to the roof of their mouth
<02441>_.
{The nobles...: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid}
When the ear
<0241>
heard
<08085> (8804)
[me], then it blessed
<0833> (8762)
me; and when the eye
<05869>
saw
<07200> (8804)
[me], it gave witness
<05749> (8686)
to me:
Because I delivered
<04422> (8762)
the poor
<06041>
that cried
<07768> (8764)_,
and the fatherless
<03490>_,
and [him that had] none to help
<05826> (8802)
him.
The blessing
<01293>
of him that was ready to perish
<06> (8802)
came
<0935> (8799)
upon me: and I caused the widow's
<0490>
heart
<03820>
to sing for joy
<07442> (8686)_.
I put
<03847> (8804)
on righteousness
<06664>_,
and it clothed
<03847> (8799)
me: my judgment
<04941>
[was] as a robe
<04598>
and a diadem
<06797>_.
I was eyes
<05869>
to the blind
<05787>_,
and feet
<07272>
[was] I to the lame
<06455>_.
I [was] a father
<01>
to the poor
<034>_:
and the cause
<07379>
[which] I knew
<03045> (8804)
not I searched out
<02713> (8799)_.
And I brake
<07665> (8762)
the jaws
<04973>
of the wicked
<05767>_,
and plucked
<07993> (8686)
the spoil
<02964>
out of his teeth
<08127>_.
{the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders} {plucked: Heb. cast}
Then I said
<0559> (8799)_,
I shall die
<01478> (8799)
in my nest
<07064>_,
and I shall multiply
<07235> (8686)
[my] days
<03117>
as the sand
<02344>_.
My root
<08328>
[was] spread out
<06605> (8803)
by the waters
<04325>_,
and the dew
<02919>
lay all night
<03885> (8799)
upon my branch
<07105>_.
{spread...: Heb. opened}
My glory
<03519>
[was] fresh
<02319>
in me
<05978>_,
and my bow
<07198>
was renewed
<02498> (8686)
in my hand
<03027>_.
{fresh: Heb. new} {renewed: Heb. changed}
Unto me [men] gave ear
<08085> (8804)_,
and waited
<03176> (8765)_,
and kept silence
<01826> (8799)
at
<03926>
my counsel
<06098>_.
After
<0310>
my words
<01697>
they spake not again
<08138> (8799)_;
and my speech
<04405>
dropped
<05197> (8799)
upon them.
And they waited
<03176> (8765)
for me as for the rain
<04306>_;
and they opened
<06473> (8804)
their mouth
<06310>
wide [as] for the latter rain
<04456>_.
[If] I laughed
<07832> (8799)
on them, they believed
<0539> (8686)
[it] not; and the light
<0216>
of my countenance
<06440>
they cast not down
<05307> (8686)_.
I chose
<0977> (8799)
out their way
<01870>_,
and sat
<03427> (8799)
chief
<07218>_,
and dwelt
<07931> (8799)
as a king
<04428>
in the army
<01416>_,
as one [that] comforteth
<05162> (8762)
the mourners
<057>_.
But now [they that are] younger
<06810> <03117>
than I have me in derision
<07832> (8804)_,
whose fathers
<01>
I would have disdained
<03988> (8804)
to have set
<07896> (8800)
with the dogs
<03611>
of my flock
<06629>_.
{younger...: Heb. of fewer days than I}
Yea, whereto
<04100>
[might] the strength
<03581>
of their hands
<03027>
[profit] me, in whom old age
<03624>
was perished
<06> (8804)_?
For want
<02639>
and famine
<03720>
[they were] solitary
<01565>_;
fleeing
<06207> (8802)
into the wilderness
<06723>
in former time
<0570>
desolate
<07722>
and waste
<04875>_.
{solitary: or, dark as the night} {in...: Heb. yesternight}
Who cut up
<06998> (8801)
mallows
<04408>
by the bushes
<07880>_,
and juniper
<07574>
roots
<08328>
[for] their meat
<03899>_.
They were driven forth
<01644> (8792)
from among
<01460>
[men], (they cried
<07321> (8686)
after them as [after] a thief
<01590>;)
To dwell
<07931> (8800)
in the clifts
<06178>
of the valleys
<05158>_,
[in] caves
<02356>
of the earth
<06083>_,
and [in] the rocks
<03710>_.
{caves: Heb. holes}
Among the bushes
<07880>
they brayed
<05101> (8799)_;
under the nettles
<02738>
they were gathered together
<05596> (8792)_.
[They were] children
<01121>
of fools
<05036>_,
yea, children
<01121>
of base men
<08034>_:
they were viler
<05217> (8738)
than the earth
<0776>_.
{base...: Heb. men of no name}
And now am I their song
<05058>_,
yea, I am their byword
<04405>_.
They abhor
<08581> (8765)
me, they flee far
<07368> (8804)
from me, and spare
<02820> (8804)
not to spit
<07536>
in my face
<06440>_.
{and...: Heb. and withhold not spittle from}
Because he hath loosed
<06605> (8765)
my cord
<03499>_,
and afflicted
<06031> (8762)
me, they have also let loose
<07971> (8765)
the bridle
<07448>
before
<06440>
me.
Upon [my] right
<03225>
[hand] rise
<06965> (8799)
the youth
<06526>_;
they push away
<07971> (8765)
my feet
<07272>_,
and they raise up
<05549> (8799)
against me the ways
<0734>
of their destruction
<0343>_.
They mar
<05420> (8804)
my path
<05410>_,
they set forward
<03276> (8686)
my calamity
<01942> (8675) <01962>_,
they have no helper
<05826> (8802)_.
They came
<0857> (8799)
[upon me] as a wide
<07342>
breaking
<06556>
in [of waters]: in
<08478>
the desolation
<07722>
they rolled
<01556> (8701)
themselves [upon me].
Terrors
<01091>
are turned
<02015> (8717)
upon me: they pursue
<07291> (8799)
my soul
<05082>
as the wind
<07307>_:
and my welfare
<03444>
passeth away
<05674> (8804)
as a cloud
<05645>_.
{my soul: Heb. my principal one}
And now my soul
<05315>
is poured out
<08210> (8691)
upon me; the days
<03117>
of affliction
<06040>
have taken hold
<0270> (8799)
upon me.
My bones
<06106>
are pierced
<05365> (8765)
in me in the night season
<03915>_:
and my sinews
<06207> (8802)
take no rest
<07901> (8799)_.
By the great
<07230>
force
<03581>
[of my disease] is my garment
<03830>
changed
<02664> (8691)_:
it bindeth me about
<0247> (8799)
as the collar
<06310>
of my coat
<03801>_.
He hath cast
<03384> (8689)
me into the mire
<02563>_,
and I am become like
<04911> (8691)
dust
<06083>
and ashes
<0665>_.
I cry
<07768> (8762)
unto thee, and thou dost not hear
<06030> (8799)
me: I stand up
<05975> (8804)_,
and thou regardest
<0995> (8709)
me [not].
Thou art become
<02015> (8735)
cruel
<0393>
to me: with thy strong
<06108>
hand
<03027>
thou opposest
<07852> (8799)
thyself against me. {become...: Heb. turned to be cruel} {thy...: Heb. the strength of thy hand}
Thou liftest me up
<05375> (8799)
to the wind
<07307>_;
thou causest me to ride
<07392> (8686)
[upon it], and dissolvest
<04127> (8787)
my substance
<08454> (8675) <07738> (8762)_.
{substance: or, wisdom}
For I know
<03045> (8804)
[that] thou wilt bring
<07725> (8686)
me [to] death
<04194>_,
and [to] the house
<01004>
appointed
<04150>
for all living
<02416>_.
Howbeit he will not stretch out
<07971> (8799)
[his] hand
<03027>
to the grave
<01164>_,
though they cry
<07769>
in his destruction
<06365>_.
{grave: Heb. heap}
Did not I weep
<01058> (8804)
for him that was in trouble
<07186> <03117>_?
was [not] my soul
<05315>
grieved
<05701> (8804)
for the poor
<034>_?
{in trouble: Heb. hard of day?}
When I looked
<06960> (8765)
for good
<02896>_,
then evil
<07451>
came
<0935> (8799)
[unto me]: and when I waited
<03176> (8762)
for light
<0216>_,
there came
<0935> (8799)
darkness
<0652>_.
My bowels
<04578>
boiled
<07570> (8795)_,
and rested
<01826> (8804)
not: the days
<03117>
of affliction
<06040>
prevented
<06923> (8765)
me.
I went
<01980> (8765)
mourning
<06937> (8802)
without the sun
<02535>_:
I stood up
<06965> (8804)_,
[and] I cried
<07768> (8762)
in the congregation
<06951>_.
I am a brother
<0251>
to dragons
<08577>_,
and a companion
<07453>
to owls
<01323> <03284>_.
{owls: or, ostriches}
My skin
<05785>
is black
<07835> (8804)
upon me, and my bones
<06106>
are burned
<02787> (8804)
with heat
<02721>_.
My harp
<03658>
also is [turned] to mourning
<060>_,
and my organ
<05748>
into the voice
<06963>
of them that weep
<01058> (8802)_.
I made
<03772> (8804)
a covenant
<01285>
with mine eyes
<05869>_;
why then should I think
<0995> (8709)
upon a maid
<01330>_?
For what portion
<02506>
of God
<0433>
[is there] from above
<04605>_?
and [what] inheritance
<05159>
of the Almighty
<07706>
from on high
<04791>_?
[Is] not destruction
<0343>
to the wicked
<05767>_?
and a strange
<05235>
[punishment] to the workers
<06466> (8802)
of iniquity
<0205>_?
Doth not he see
<07200> (8799)
my ways
<01870>_,
and count
<05608> (8799)
all my steps
<06806>_?
If I have walked
<01980> (8804)
with vanity
<07723>_,
or if my foot
<07272>
hath hasted
<02363> (8799)
to deceit
<04820>_;
Let me be weighed
<08254> (8799)
in an even
<06664>
balance
<03976>_,
that God
<0433>
may know
<03045> (8799)
mine integrity
<08538>_.
{Let...: Heb. Let him weigh me in balances of justice}
If my step
<0838>
hath turned out
<05186> (8799)
of the way
<01870>_,
and mine heart
<03820>
walked
<01980> (8804)
after
<0310>
mine eyes
<05869>_,
and if any blot
<03971>
hath cleaved
<01692> (8804)
to mine hands
<03709>_;
[Then] let me sow
<02232> (8799)_,
and let another
<0312>
eat
<0398> (8799)_;
yea, let my offspring
<06631>
be rooted out
<08327> (8792)_.
If mine heart
<03820>
have been deceived
<06601> (8738)
by a woman
<0802>_,
or [if] I have laid wait
<0693> (8804)
at my neighbour's
<07453>
door
<06607>_;
[Then] let my wife
<0802>
grind
<02912> (8799)
unto another
<0312>_,
and let others
<0312>
bow down
<03766> (8799)
upon her.
For this [is] an heinous crime
<02154>_;
yea, it [is] an iniquity
<05771>
[to be punished by] the judges
<06414>_.
For it [is] a fire
<0784>
[that] consumeth
<0398> (8799)
to destruction
<011>_,
and would root out
<08327> (8762)
all mine increase
<08393>_.
If I did despise
<03988> (8799)
the cause
<04941>
of my manservant
<05650>
or of my maidservant
<0519>_,
when they contended
<07379>
with me;
What then shall I do
<06213> (8799)
when God
<0410>
riseth up
<06965> (8799)_?
and when he visiteth
<06485> (8799)_,
what shall I answer
<07725> (8686)
him?
Did not he that made
<06213> (8802)
me in the womb
<0990>
make
<06213> (8804)
him? and did not one
<0259>
fashion
<03559> (8787)
us in the womb
<07358>_?
{did not one...: or, did he not fashion us in one womb?}
If I have withheld
<04513> (8799)
the poor
<01800>
from [their] desire
<02656>_,
or have caused the eyes
<05869>
of the widow
<0490>
to fail
<03615> (8762)_;
Or have eaten
<0398> (8799)
my morsel
<06595>
myself alone, and the fatherless
<03490>
hath not eaten
<0398> (8804)
thereof;
(For from my youth
<05271>
he was brought up
<01431> (8804)
with me, as [with] a father
<01>_,
and I have guided
<05148> (8686)
her from my mother's
<0517>
womb
<0990>;)
{her: that is, the widow}
If I have seen
<07200> (8799)
any perish
<06> (8802)
for want of clothing
<03830>_,
or any poor
<034>
without covering
<03682>_;
If his loins
<02504>
have not blessed
<01288> (8765)
me, and [if] he were [not] warmed
<02552> (8691)
with the fleece
<01488>
of my sheep
<03532>_;
If I have lifted up
<05130> (8689)
my hand
<03027>
against the fatherless
<03490>_,
when I saw
<07200> (8799)
my help
<05833>
in the gate
<08179>_:
[Then] let mine arm
<03802>
fall
<05307> (8799)
from my shoulder blade
<07929>_,
and mine arm
<0248>
be broken
<07665> (8735)
from the bone
<07070>_.
{bone: or, chanelbone}
For destruction
<0343>
[from] God
<0410>
[was] a terror
<06343>
to me, and by reason of his highness
<07613>
I could
<03201> (8799)
not endure.
If I have made
<07760> (8804)
gold
<02091>
my hope
<03689>_,
or have said
<0559> (8804)
to the fine gold
<03800>_,
[Thou art] my confidence
<04009>_;
If I rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
because my wealth
<02428>
[was] great
<07227>_,
and because mine hand
<03027>
had gotten
<04672> (8804)
much
<03524>_;
{gotten...: Heb. found much}
If I beheld
<07200> (8799)
the sun
<0216>
when it shined
<01984> (8686)_,
or the moon
<03394>
walking
<01980> (8802)
[in] brightness
<03368>_;
{sun: Heb. light} {in...: Heb. bright}
And my heart
<03820>
hath been secretly
<05643>
enticed
<06601> (8799)_,
or my mouth
<06310>
hath kissed
<05401> (8799)
my hand
<03027>_:
{my mouth...: Heb. my hand hath kissed my mouth}
This also [were] an iniquity
<05771>
[to be punished by] the judge
<06416>_:
for I should have denied
<03584> (8765)
the God
<0410>
[that is] above
<04605>_.
If I rejoiced
<08055> (8799)
at the destruction
<06365>
of him that hated
<08130> (8764)
me, or lifted up
<05782> (8712)
myself when evil
<07451>
found
<04672> (8804)
him:
Neither have I suffered
<05414> (8804)
my mouth
<02441>
to sin
<02398> (8800)
by wishing
<07592> (8800)
a curse
<0423>
to his soul
<05315>_.
{mouth: Heb. palate}
If the men
<04962>
of my tabernacle
<0168>
said
<0559> (8804)
not, Oh that we had
<05414> (8799)
of his flesh
<01320>_!
we cannot be satisfied
<07646> (8799)_.
The stranger
<01616>
did not lodge
<03885> (8799)
in the street
<02351>_:
[but] I opened
<06605> (8799)
my doors
<01817>
to the traveller
<0734>_.
{traveller: or, way}
If I covered
<03680> (8765)
my transgressions
<06588>
as Adam
<0121>_,
by hiding
<02934> (8800)
mine iniquity
<05771>
in my bosom
<02243>_:
{as Adam: or, after the manner of men}
Did I fear
<06206> (8799)
a great
<07227>
multitude
<01995>_,
or did the contempt
<0937>
of families
<04940>
terrify
<02865> (8686)
me, that I kept silence
<01826> (8799)_,
[and] went not out
<03318> (8799)
of the door
<06607>_?
Oh that
<05414> (8799)
one would hear
<08085> (8802)
me! behold, my desire
<08420>
[is, that] the Almighty
<07706>
would answer
<06030> (8799)
me, and [that] mine adversary
<0376> <07379>
had written
<03789> (8804)
a book
<05612>_.
{my...: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}
Surely I would take
<05375> (8799)
it upon my shoulder
<07926>_,
[and] bind
<06029> (8799)
it [as] a crown
<05850>
to me.
I would declare
<05046> (8686)
unto him the number
<04557>
of my steps
<06806>_;
as a prince
<05057>
would I go near
<07126> (8762)
unto him.
If my land
<0127>
cry
<02199> (8799)
against me, or that the furrows
<08525>
likewise
<03162>
thereof complain
<01058> (8799)_;
{complain: Heb. weep}
If I have eaten
<0398> (8804)
the fruits
<03581>
thereof without money
<03701>_,
or have caused the owners
<01167>
thereof to lose
<05301> (8689)
their life
<05315>_:
{fruits: Heb. strength} {the owners...: Heb. the soul of the owners thereof to expire, or, breathe out}
Let thistles
<02336>
grow
<03318> (8799)
instead of wheat
<02406>_,
and cockle
<0890>
instead of barley
<08184>_.
The words
<01697>
of Job
<0347>
are ended
<08552> (8804)_.
{cockle: or, noisome weeds}
