Job

21:1 But Job answered and said,

21:2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.

21:3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.

21:4 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?

21:5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

21:6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.

21:6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling takes hold on my flesh.

21:7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

21:8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

21:9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

21:10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

21:10 Their bull genders, and fails not; their cow calves, and casts not her calf.

21:11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

21:12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

21:13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.

21:14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

21:14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of your ways.

21:15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

21:16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

21:17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

21:17 How often is the candle of the wicked put out! and how often comes their destruction upon them! God distributes sorrows in his anger.

21:18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

21:18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carries away.

21:19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

21:19 God lays up his iniquity for his children: he rewards him, and he shall know it.

21:20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the almighty.

21:20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

21:21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

21:21 For what pleasure has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

21:22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.

21:23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

21:23 One dies in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

21:24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

21:25 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.

21:25 And another dies in the bitterness of his soul, and never eats with pleasure.

21:26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

21:27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which all of you wrongfully imagine against me.

21:28 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

21:28 For all of you say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

21:29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,

21:29 Have all of you not asked them that go by the way? and do all of you not know their tokens,

21:30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

21:31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

21:31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he has done?

21:32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.

21:33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.

21:34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?

21:34 How then comfort all of you me in vain, seeing in your answers there remains falsehood?

Job

22:1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

22:2 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

22:3 Is it any pleasure to the almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

22:3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that you are righteous? or is it gain to him, that you make your ways perfect?

22:4 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?

22:4 Will he reprove you for fear of you? will he enter with you into judgment?

22:5 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

22:5 Is not your wickedness great? and yours iniquities infinite?

22:6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

22:7 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

22:7 You have not given water to the weary to drink, and you have withheld bread from the hungry.

22:8 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

22:9 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

22:9 You have sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

22:10 Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;

22:10 Therefore snares are round about you, and sudden fear troubles you;

22:11 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

22:11 Or darkness, that you can not see; and abundance of waters cover you.

22:12 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

22:13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

22:13 And you says, How does God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

22:14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

22:14 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he sees not; and he walks in the circuit of heaven.

22:15 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

22:16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

22:16 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood:

22:17 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

22:18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

22:19 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

22:20 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.

22:21 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

22:23 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

Job

23:1 Then Job answered and said,

23:2 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.

23:3 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

23:4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

23:5 I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

23:6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.

23:7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

23:8 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:

23:9 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

23:9 On the left hand, where he does work, but I cannot behold him: he hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

23:10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

23:10 But he knows the way that I take: when he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

23:11 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

23:11 My foot has held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

23:12 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

23:13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

23:13 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, even that he does.

23:14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

23:14 For he performs the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

23:15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.

23:16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the almighty troubleth me:

23:16 For God makes my heart soft, and the Almighty troubles me:

23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.

23:17 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither has he covered the darkness from my face.

Job

24:1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

24:2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.

24:3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox for a pledge.

24:4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

24:5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for their children.

24:9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.

24:10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;

24:11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

24:12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.

24:12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded cries out: yet God lays not folly to them.

24:13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

24:14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

24:14 The murderer rising with the light kills the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

24:15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

24:15 The eye also of the adulterer waits for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguises his face.

24:16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

24:17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

24:18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

24:21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.

24:21 He evil entreats the barren that bears not: and does not good to the widow.

24:22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

24:22 He draws also the mighty with his power: he rises up, and no man is sure of life.

24:23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.

24:23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he rests; yet his eyes are upon their ways.

24:24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

24:25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

Job

25:1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

25:2 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

25:3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

26:6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

Job

27:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

27:2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

27:2 As God lives, who has taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who has vexed my soul;

27:3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

27:4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

27:5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

27:6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

27:7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

27:9 Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him?

27:10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?

27:11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

27:12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?

27:12 Behold, all you yourselves have seen it; why then are all of you thus altogether vain?

27:13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

27:14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.

27:16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

27:17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

27:18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

28:25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

28:25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weights the waters by measure.

28:26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

28:27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

Job

29:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

29:2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;

29:3 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;

29:4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;

29:5 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

29:6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

29:7 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!

29:8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.

29:9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.

29:10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

29:11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

29:12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.

29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the Lame.

29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.

29:16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.

29:18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.

29:19 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.

29:20 My glory was Fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.

29:20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.

29:21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.

29:22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.

29:22 After my words they spoke not again; and my speech dropped upon them.

29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

29:24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.

29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.

29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforts the mourners.

Job

30:1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

30:2 Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?

30:3 For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.

30:3 For lack and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.

30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.

30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their food.

30:5 They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)

30:6 To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.

30:6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.

30:7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

30:8 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

30:9 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

30:10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

30:10 They detest me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

30:11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

30:11 Because he has loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

30:12 Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.

30:13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.

30:13 They ruin my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.

30:14 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.

30:15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

30:15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passes away as a cloud.

30:16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

30:17 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.

30:18 By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

30:18 By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it binds me about as the collar of my coat.

30:19 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

30:19 He has cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

30:20 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

30:20 I cry unto you, and you do not hear me: I stand up, and you regard me not.

30:21 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.

30:21 You are become cruel to me: with your strong hand you oppose yourself against me.

30:22 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.

30:22 You lift me up to the wind; you cause me to ride upon it, and dissolve my substance.

30:23 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

30:23 For I know that you will bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

30:24 Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.

30:24 Nevertheless he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.

30:25 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?

30:26 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

30:27 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.

30:28 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

30:29 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.

30:30 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

30:31 My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

Job

31:1 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?

31:2 For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

31:3 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?

31:4 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

31:4 Does not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

31:5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;

31:5 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot has hasted to deceit;

31:6 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.

31:7 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;

31:7 If my step has turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot has cleaved to mine hands;

31:8 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.

31:9 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;

31:10 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.

31:11 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.

31:12 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.

31:12 For it is a fire that consumes to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.

31:13 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

31:14 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

31:14 What then shall I do when God rises up? and when he visits, what shall I answer him?

31:15 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?

31:16 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;

31:17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

31:17 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless has not eaten thereof;

31:18 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

31:19 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;

31:19 If I have seen any perish for lack of clothing, or any poor without covering;

31:20 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

31:21 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

31:22 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.

31:23 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.

31:24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

31:24 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, You are my confidence;

31:25 If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;

31:25 If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had got much;

31:26 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

31:27 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:

31:27 And my heart has been secretly enticed, or my mouth has kissed my hand:

31:28 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.

31:29 If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

31:29 If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

31:30 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.

31:31 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

31:32 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.

31:33 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:

31:34 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?

31:35 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.

31:36 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.

31:37 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.

31:38 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;

31:39 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

31:40 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

Job

32:1 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

32:2 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.

32:3 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

32:4 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.

32:5 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

32:6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not shew you mine opinion.

32:6 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and all of you are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not show you mine opinion.

32:7 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.

32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

32:8 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty gives them understanding.

32:9 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.

32:10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine opinion.

32:10 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.

32:11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.

32:11 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst all of you searched out what to say.

32:12 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:

32:13 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.

32:13 Lest all of you should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusts him down, not man.

32:14 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

32:14 Now he has not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

32:15 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

32:16 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

32:16 When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

32:17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine opinion.

32:17 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will show mine opinion.

32:18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.

32:18 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constrains me.

32:19 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

32:19 Behold, my belly is as wine which has no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.

32:20 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.

32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.

32:22 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.

Job

33:1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

33:1 Wherefore, Job, I pray you, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

33:2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

33:2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue has spoken in my mouth.

33:3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.

33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.

33:4 The spirit of God has made me, and the breath of the Almighty has given me life.

33:5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.

33:5 If you can answer me, set your words in order before me, stand up.

33:6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

33:6 Behold, I am according to your wish in God's position: I also am formed out of the clay.

33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.

33:7 Behold, my terror shall not make you afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon you.

33:8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

33:8 Surely you have spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of your words, saying,

33:9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.

33:10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

33:10 Behold, he finds occasions against me, he counts me for his enemy,

33:11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.

33:11 He puts my feet in the stocks, he marks all my paths.

33:12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.

33:12 Behold, in this you are not just: I will answer you, that God is greater than man.

33:13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

33:13 Why do you strive against him? for he gives not account of any of his matters.

33:14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.

33:14 For God speaks once, yea twice, yet man perceives it not.

33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

33:15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

33:16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,

33:16 Then he opens the ears of men, and seals their instruction,

33:17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.

33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

33:18 He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

33:19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:

33:20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.

33:20 So that his life detests bread, and his soul dainty food.

33:21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

33:22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

33:22 Yea, his soul draws near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.

33:23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:

33:23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness:

33:24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

33:24 Then he is gracious unto him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

33:26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

33:27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

33:27 He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

33:28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

33:29 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,

33:29 Lo, all these things works God oftentimes with man,

33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.

33:31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.

33:31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold your peace, and I will speak.

33:32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.

33:32 If you have anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify you.

33:33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

33:33 If not, hearken unto me: hold your peace, and I shall teach you wisdom.

Job

34:1 Furthermore Elihu answered and said,

34:2 Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

34:2 Hear my words, O all of you wise men; and give ear unto me, all of you that have knowledge.

34:3 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

34:3 For the ear tries words, as the mouth tastes food.

34:4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.

34:5 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

34:5 For Job has said, I am righteous: and God has taken away my judgment.

34:6 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.

34:7 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

34:7 What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water?

34:8 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.

34:8 Which goes in company with the workers of iniquity, and walks with wicked men.

34:9 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

34:9 For he has said, It profits a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

34:10 Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

34:10 Therefore hearken unto me all of you men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

34:11 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.

34:12 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.

34:13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?

34:13 Who has given him a charge over the earth? or who has disposed the whole world?

34:14 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.

34:15 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall return unto dust.

34:16 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.

34:16 If now you have understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.

34:17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?

34:17 Shall even he that hates right govern? and will you condemn him that is most just?

34:18 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?

34:18 Is it fit to say to a king, You are wicked? and to princes, All of you are ungodly?

34:19 How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

34:19 How much less to him that accepts not the persons of princes, nor regards the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.

34:20 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.

34:21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.

34:21 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he sees all his activities.

34:22 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

34:23 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.

34:24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.

34:24 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their position.

34:25 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

34:25 Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

34:26 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;

34:26 He strikes them as wicked men in the open sight of others;

34:27 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:

34:28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.

34:28 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he hears the cry of the afflicted.

34:29 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

34:29 When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

34:30 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

34:31 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:

34:32 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

34:32 That which I see not teach you me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

34:33 Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.

34:33 Should it be according to your mind? he will recompense it, whether you refuse, or whether you choose; and not I: therefore speak what you know.

34:34 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.

34:35 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.

34:35 Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.

34:36 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.

34:37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.

34:37 For he adds rebellion unto his sin, he claps his hands among us, and multiplies his words against God.

Job

35:1 Elihu spake moreover, and said,

35:1 Elihu spoke moreover, and said,

35:2 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My righteousness is more than God's?

35:2 Think you this to be right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God's?

35:3 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

35:3 For you said, What advantage will it be unto you? and, What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?

35:4 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

35:4 I will answer you, and your companions with you.

35:5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than thou.

35:5 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than you.

35:6 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?

35:6 If you sin, what do you against him? or if your transgressions be multiplied, what do you unto him?

35:7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth he of thine hand?

35:7 If you be righteous, what give you him? or what receives he of yours hand?

35:8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy righteousness may profit the son of man.

35:8 Your wickedness may hurt a man as you are; and your righteousness may profit the son of man.

35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

35:10 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the night;

35:10 But none says, Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;

35:11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

35:11 Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the fowls of heaven?

35:12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

35:12 There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.

35:13 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty regard it.

35:14 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.

35:14 Although you says you shall not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust you in him.

35:15 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

35:15 But now, because it is not so, he has visited in his anger; yet he knows it not in great extremity:

35:16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

35:16 Therefore does Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplies words without knowledge.

Job

36:1 Elihu also proceeded, and said,

36:2 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.

36:2 Suffer me a little, and I will show you that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.

36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from far, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

36:4 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.

36:4 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in knowledge is with you.

36:5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

36:5 Behold, God is mighty, and despises not any: he is mighty in strength and wisdom.

36:6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.

36:6 He perserves not the life of the wicked: but gives right to the poor.

36:7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.
