Job 38:16

38:16

Hast thou entered
<0935> (8804)

into the springs
<05033>

of the sea
<03220>_?

or hast thou walked
<01980> (8694)

in the search
<02714>

of the depth
<08415>_?

Job 38:1

38:1

Then the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Job
<0347>

out of the whirlwind
<05591>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

Job 31:1-40

31:1

I made
<03772> (8804)

a covenant
<01285>

with mine eyes
<05869>_;

why then should I think
<0995> (8709)

upon a maid
<01330>_?

31:2

For what portion
<02506>

of God
<0433>

[is there] from above
<04605>_?

and [what] inheritance
<05159>

of the Almighty
<07706>

from on high
<04791>_?

31:3

[Is] not destruction
<0343>

to the wicked
<05767>_?

and a strange
<05235>

[punishment] to the workers
<06466> (8802)

of iniquity
<0205>_?

31:4

Doth not he see
<07200> (8799)

my ways
<01870>_,

and count
<05608> (8799)

all my steps
<06806>_?

31:5

If I have walked
<01980> (8804)

with vanity
<07723>_,

or if my foot
<07272>

hath hasted
<02363> (8799)

to deceit
<04820>_;

31:6

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}

31:7

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>_;

31:8

[Then] let me sow
<02232> (8799)_,

and let another
<0312>

eat
<0398> (8799)_;

yea, let my offspring
<06631>

be rooted out
<08327> (8792)_.

31:9

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>_;

31:10

[Then] let my wife
<0802>

grind
<02912> (8799)

unto another
<0312>_,

and let others
<0312>

bow down
<03766> (8799)

upon her.

31:11

For this [is] an heinous crime
<02154>_;

yea, it [is] an iniquity
<05771>

[to be punished by] the judges
<06414>_.

31:12

For it [is] a fire
<0784>

[that] consumeth
<0398> (8799)

to destruction
<011>_,

and would root out
<08327> (8762)

all mine increase
<08393>_.

31:13

If I did despise
<03988> (8799)

the cause
<04941>

of my manservant
<05650>

or of my maidservant
<0519>_,

when they contended
<07379>

with me;

31:14

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?

31:15

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?}

31:16

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)_;

31:17

Or have eaten
<0398> (8799)

my morsel
<06595>

myself alone, and the fatherless
<03490>

hath not eaten
<0398> (8804)

thereof;

31:18

(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}

31:19

If I have seen
<07200> (8799)

any perish
<06> (8802)

for want of clothing
<03830>_,

or any poor
<034>

without covering
<03682>_;

31:20

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>_;

31:21

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>_:

31:22

[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}

31:23

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.

31:24

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>_;

31:25

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}

31:26

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}

31:27

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}

31:28

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>_.

31:29

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:

31:30

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}

31:31

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)_.

31:32

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}

31:33

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}

31:34

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>_?

31:35

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}

31:36

Surely I would take
<05375> (8799)

it upon my shoulder
<07926>_,

[and] bind
<06029> (8799)

it [as] a crown
<05850>

to me.

31:37

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.

31:38

If my land
<0127>

cry
<02199> (8799)

against me, or that the furrows
<08525>

likewise
<03162>

thereof complain
<01058> (8799)_;

{complain: Heb. weep}

31:39

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}

31:40

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}
