My days<S>3117</S> are swifter<S>7043</S> than a weaver’s shuttle<S>708</S>, and are spent<S>3615</S> without<S>657</S> hope<S>8615</S>.

My soul<S>5315</S> is weary<S>5354</S> of my life<S>2416</S>; I will leave<S>5800</S> my complaint<S>7879</S> upon myself; I will speak<S>1696</S> in the bitterness<S>4751</S> of my soul<S>5315</S>. <n>weary…: or, cut off while I live</n>

He will surely<S>3198</S> reprove<S>3198</S> you, if ye do secretly<S>5643</S> accept<S>5375</S> persons<S>6440</S>.

text:
Among the bushes<S>7880</S> they brayed<S>5101</S>; under the nettles<S>2738</S> they were gathered together<S>5596</S>.


text:
<i>They were </i> children<S>1121</S> of fools<S>5036</S>, yea, children<S>1121</S> of base men<S>8034</S>: they were viler<S>5217</S> than the earth<S>776</S>. <n>base…: Heb. men of no name</n>


text:
They abhor<S>8581</S> me, they flee far<S>7368</S> from me, and spare<S>2820</S> not to spit<S>7536</S> in my face<S>6440</S>. <n>and…: Heb. and withhold not spittle from</n>


text:
Because he hath loosed<S>6605</S> my cord<S>3499</S>, and afflicted<S>6031</S> me, they have also let loose<S>7971</S> the bridle<S>7448</S> before<S>6440</S> me.


text:
Upon <i>my </i>right<S>3225</S> <i>hand </i>rise<S>6965</S> the youth<S>6526</S>; they push away<S>7971</S> my feet<S>7272</S>, and they raise up<S>5549</S> against me the ways<S>734</S> of their destruction<S>343</S>.


text:
They mar<S>5420</S> my path<S>5410</S>, they set forward<S>3276</S> my calamity<S>1942</S> <S>1962</S>, they have no helper<S>5826</S>.


text:
They came<S>857</S> <i>upon me</i> as a wide<S>7342</S> breaking<S>6556</S> in <i>of waters</i>: in<S>8478</S> the desolation<S>7722</S> they rolled<S>1556</S> themselves <i>upon me</i>.


text:
Terrors<S>1091</S> are turned<S>2015</S> upon me: they pursue<S>7291</S> my soul<S>5082</S> as the wind<S>7307</S>: and my welfare<S>3444</S> passeth away<S>5674</S> as a cloud<S>5645</S>. <n>my soul: Heb. my principal one</n>

And now my soul<S>5315</S> is poured out<S>8210</S> upon me; the days<S>3117</S> of affliction<S>6040</S> have taken hold<S>270</S> upon me.


text:
My bones<S>6106</S> are pierced<S>5365</S> in me in the night season<S>3915</S>: and my sinews<S>6207</S> take no rest<S>7901</S>.

By the great<S>7230</S> force<S>3581</S> <i>of my disease</i> is my garment<S>3830</S> changed<S>2664</S>: it bindeth me about<S>247</S> as the collar<S>6310</S> of my coat<S>3801</S>.

He hath cast<S>3384</S> me into the mire<S>2563</S>, and I have become like<S>4911</S> dust<S>6083</S> and ashes<S>665</S>.

I cry<S>7768</S> to thee, and thou dost not hear<S>6030</S> me: I stand up<S>5975</S>, and thou regardest<S>995</S> me <i>not</i>.

Thou hast become<S>2015</S> cruel<S>393</S> to me: with thy strong<S>6108</S> hand<S>3027</S> thou opposest<S>7852</S> thyself against me. <n>become…: Heb. turned to be cruel thy…: Heb. the strength of thy hand</n>

Thou liftest me up<S>5375</S> to the wind<S>7307</S>; thou causest me to ride<S>7392</S> <i>upon it</i>, and dissolvest<S>4127</S> my substance<S>8454</S> <S>7738</S>. <n>substance: or, wisdom</n>

For I know<S>3045</S> <i>that</i> thou wilt bring<S>7725</S> me <i>to </i>death<S>4194</S>, and <i>to</i> the house<S>1004</S> appointed<S>4150</S> for all living<S>2416</S>.

Yet he will not stretch out<S>7971</S> <i>his </i>hand<S>3027</S> to the grave<S>1164</S>, though they cry<S>7769</S> in his destruction<S>6365</S>. <n>grave: Heb. heap</n>

When I looked<S>6960</S> for good<S>2896</S>, then evil<S>7451</S> came<S>935</S>: and when I waited<S>3176</S> for light<S>216</S>, there came<S>935</S> darkness<S>652</S>.


text:
My bowels<S>4578</S> boiled<S>7570</S>, and rested<S>1826</S> not: the days<S>3117</S> of affliction<S>6040</S> came upon<S>6923</S> me.


text:
I went<S>1980</S> mourning<S>6937</S> without the sun<S>2535</S>: I stood up<S>6965</S>, <i>and</i> I cried<S>7768</S> in the congregation<S>6951</S>.

text:
My skin<S>5785</S> is black<S>7835</S> upon me, and my bones<S>6106</S> are burned<S>2787</S> with heat<S>2721</S>.

My harp<S>3658</S> also is <i>turned</i> to mourning<S>60</S>, and my organ<S>5748</S> into the voice<S>6963</S> of them that weep<S>1058</S>.


text:
I made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with my eyes<S>5869</S>; why then should I think<S>995</S> upon a maid<S>1330</S>?

If I have walked<S>1980</S> with vanity<S>7723</S>, or if my foot<S>7272</S> hath hasted<S>2363</S> to deceit<S>4820</S>;

Let me be weighed<S>8254</S> in an even<S>6664</S> balance<S>3976</S>, that God<S>433</S> may know<S>3045</S> my integrity<S>8538</S>. <n>Let…: Heb. Let him weigh me in balances of justice</n>

text:
For this <i>is</i> an heinous crime<S>2154</S>; yea, it <i>is</i> an iniquity<S>5771</S> <i>to be punished by</i> the judges<S>6414</S>.


text:
For it <i>is</i> a fire<S>784</S> <i>that </i>consumeth<S>398</S> to destruction<S>11</S>, and would root out<S>8327</S> all my increase<S>8393</S>.

Did not he that made<S>6213</S> me in the womb<S>990</S> make<S>6213</S> him? and did not one<S>259</S> fashion<S>3559</S> us in the womb<S>7358</S>? <n>did not one…: or, did he not fashion us in one womb?</n>

(For from my youth<S>5271</S> he was brought up<S>1431</S> with me, as <i>with</i> a father<S>1</S>, and I have guided<S>5148</S> her from my mother’s<S>517</S> womb<S>990</S>;) <n>her: that is, the widow</n>

text:
For destruction<S>343</S> <i>from </i>God<S>410</S> <i>was</i> a terror<S>6343</S> to me, and by reason of his highness<S>7613</S> I could<S>3201</S> not endure.

If I have made<S>7760</S> gold<S>2091</S> my hope<S>3689</S>, or have said<S>559</S> to the fine gold<S>3800</S>, <i>Thou art</i> my confidence<S>4009</S>;

This also <i>were</i> an iniquity<S>5771</S> <i>to be punished by</i> the judge<S>6416</S>: for I should have denied<S>3584</S> the God<S>410</S> <i>that is </i>above<S>4605</S>.

If I have rejoiced<S>8055</S> at the destruction<S>6365</S> of him that hated<S>8130</S> me, or have lifted up<S>5782</S> myself when evil<S>7451</S> found<S>4672</S> him:

Neither have I allowed<S>5414</S> my mouth<S>2441</S> to sin<S>2398</S> by wishing<S>7592</S> a curse<S>423</S> to his soul<S>5315</S>. <n>mouth: Heb. palate</n>

The stranger<S>1616</S> did not lodge<S>3885</S> in the street<S>2351</S>: <i>but</i> I opened<S>6605</S> my doors<S>1817</S> to the traveller<S>734</S>. <n>traveller: or, way</n>

O that<S>5414</S> one would hear<S>8085</S> me! behold, my desire<S>8420</S> <i>is, that</i> the Almighty<S>7706</S> would answer<S>6030</S> me, and <i>that</i> my adversary<S>376</S> <S>7379</S> had written<S>3789</S> a book<S>5612</S>. <n>my…: or, my sign is that the Almighty will</n>

If my land<S>127</S> crieth<S>2199</S> against me, or its furrows<S>8525</S> likewise<S>3162</S> complain<S>1058</S>; <n>complain: Heb. weep</n>

If I have eaten<S>398</S> the fruits<S>3581</S> of it without money<S>3701</S>, or have caused its owners<S>1167</S> to lose<S>5301</S> their life<S>5315</S>: <n>fruits: Heb. strength the owners…: Heb. the soul of the owners thereof to expire, or, breathe out</n>

So these three<S>7969</S> men<S>582</S> ceased<S>7673</S> to answer<S>6030</S> Job<S>347</S>, because he <i>was </i>righteous<S>6662</S> in his own eyes<S>5869</S>. <n>to…: Heb. from answering</n>


text:
Then was kindled<S>2734</S> the wrath<S>639</S> of Elihu<S>453</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Barachel<S>1292</S> the Buzite<S>940</S>, of the kindred<S>4940</S> of Ram<S>7410</S>: against Job<S>347</S> was his wrath<S>639</S> kindled<S>2734</S>, because he justified<S>6663</S> himself<S>5315</S> rather than God<S>430</S>. <n>himself: Heb. his soul</n>


text:
Also against his three<S>7969</S> friends<S>7453</S> was his wrath<S>639</S> kindled<S>2734</S>, because they had found<S>4672</S> no answer<S>4617</S>, and <i>yet</i> had condemned<S>7561</S> Job<S>347</S>.


text:
Now Elihu<S>453</S> had waited<S>2442</S> till Job<S>347</S> had spoken<S>1697</S>, because they <i>were </i>elder<S>2205</S> <S>3117</S> than he. <n>waited…: Heb. expected Job in words elder: Heb. elder for days</n>

When Elihu<S>453</S> saw<S>7200</S> that <i>there was</i> no answer<S>4617</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of <i>these </i>three<S>7969</S> men<S>582</S>, then his wrath<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S>.


text:
And Elihu<S>453</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Barachel<S>1292</S> the Buzite<S>940</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, I <i>am </i>young<S>6810</S> <S>3117</S>, and ye <i>are</i> very old<S>3453</S>; therefore I was afraid<S>2119</S>, and dared<S>3372</S> not show<S>2331</S> you my opinion<S>1843</S>. <n>young: Heb. few of days durst…: Heb. feared</n>

I said<S>559</S>, Days<S>3117</S> should speak<S>1696</S>, and multitude<S>7230</S> of years<S>8141</S> should teach<S>3045</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
But<S>403</S> <i>there is</i> a spirit<S>7307</S> in man<S>582</S>: and the inspiration<S>5397</S> of the Almighty<S>7706</S> giveth them understanding<S>995</S>.


text:
Great men<S>7227</S> are not <i>always </i>wise<S>2449</S>: neither do the aged<S>2205</S> understand<S>995</S> judgment<S>4941</S>.


text:
Therefore I said<S>559</S>, Hearken<S>8085</S> to me; I also will show<S>2331</S> my opinion<S>1843</S>.


text:
Behold, I waited<S>3176</S> for your words<S>1697</S>; I gave ear<S>238</S> to your reasons<S>8394</S>, while ye searched out<S>2713</S> what to say<S>4405</S>. <n>reasons: Heb. understandings what…: Heb. words</n>


text:
Yea, I attended<S>995</S> to you, and, behold, <i>there was</i> none of you that convinced<S>3198</S> Job<S>347</S>, <i>or</i> that answered<S>6030</S> his words<S>561</S>:


text:
Lest ye should say<S>559</S>, We have found out<S>4672</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>: God<S>410</S> thrusteth him down<S>5086</S>, not man<S>376</S>.


text:
Now he hath not directed<S>6186</S> <i>his </i>words<S>4405</S> against me: neither will I answer<S>7725</S> him with your speeches<S>561</S>. <n>directed: or, ordered</n>

They were amazed<S>2865</S>, they answered<S>6030</S> no more: they stopped<S>6275</S> speaking<S>4405</S>. <n>left…: Heb. removed speeches from themselves</n>


text:
When I had waited<S>3176</S>, (for they spoke<S>1696</S> not, but stood still<S>5975</S>, <i>and </i>answered<S>6030</S> no more;)


text:
<i>I said</i>, I will answer<S>6030</S> also my part<S>2506</S>, I also will show<S>2331</S> my opinion<S>1843</S>.

For I am full<S>4390</S> of matter<S>4405</S>, the spirit<S>7307</S> within<S>990</S> me constraineth<S>6693</S> me. <n>matter: Heb. words spirit…: Heb. spirit of my belly</n>

Behold, my belly<S>990</S> <i>is</i> as wine<S>3196</S> <i>which</i> hath no vent<S>6605</S>; it is ready to burst<S>1234</S> like new<S>2319</S> bottles<S>178</S>. <n>hath…: Heb. is not opened</n>

Let me not, I pray you, accept<S>5375</S> any man’s<S>376</S> person<S>6440</S>, neither let me give flattering titles<S>3655</S> to man<S>120</S>.


text:
For I know<S>3045</S> not to give flattering titles<S>3655</S>; <i>in so doing</i> my maker<S>6213</S> would soon<S>4592</S> take me away<S>5375</S>.

Therefore<S>199</S>, Job<S>347</S>, I pray thee, hear<S>8085</S> my speeches<S>4405</S>, and hearken<S>238</S> to all my words<S>1697</S>.

Behold, now I have opened<S>6605</S> my mouth<S>6310</S>, my tongue<S>3956</S> hath spoken<S>1696</S> in my mouth<S>2441</S>. <n>in my mouth: Heb. in my palate</n>

My words<S>561</S> <i>shall be of</i> the uprightness<S>3476</S> of my heart<S>3820</S>: and my lips<S>8193</S> shall utter<S>4448</S> knowledge<S>1847</S> clearly<S>1305</S>.

The Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>410</S> hath made<S>6213</S> me, and the breath<S>5397</S> of the Almighty<S>7706</S> hath given me life<S>2421</S>.

If thou canst<S>3201</S> answer<S>7725</S> me, set <i>thy words</i> in order<S>6186</S> before<S>6440</S> me, take thy stand<S>3320</S>.

Behold, I <i>am</i> according to thy wish<S>6310</S> in God’s<S>410</S> stead: I also am formed<S>7169</S> out of the clay<S>2563</S>. <n>wish: Heb. mouth formed: Heb. cut</n>

Behold, my terror<S>367</S> shall not make thee afraid<S>1204</S>, neither shall my hand<S>405</S> be heavy<S>3513</S> upon thee.


text:
Surely thou hast spoken<S>559</S> in my hearing<S>241</S>, and I have heard<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of <i>thy </i>words<S>4405</S>, <i>saying</i>, <n>hearing: Heb. ears</n>


text:
I am clean<S>2134</S> without transgression<S>6588</S>, I <i>am </i>innocent<S>2643</S>; neither <i>is there </i>iniquity<S>5771</S> in me.

Behold, he findeth<S>4672</S> occasions<S>8569</S> against me, he counteth<S>2803</S> me for his enemy<S>341</S>,

He putteth<S>7760</S> my feet<S>7272</S> in the stocks<S>5465</S>, he marketh<S>8104</S> all my paths<S>734</S>.

Behold, <i>in</i> this thou art not just<S>6663</S>: I will answer<S>6030</S> thee, that God<S>433</S> is greater<S>7235</S> than man<S>582</S>.


text:
Why dost thou strive<S>7378</S> against him? for he giveth not account<S>6030</S> of any of his matters<S>1697</S>. <n>he giveth…: Heb. he answereth not</n>


text:
For God<S>410</S> speaketh<S>1696</S> once<S>259</S>, yea twice<S>8147</S>, <i>yet man </i>perceiveth<S>7789</S> it not.

Then he openeth<S>1540</S> the ears<S>241</S> of men<S>582</S>, and sealeth<S>2856</S> their instruction<S>4561</S>, <n>he…: Heb. he revealeth, or, uncovereth</n>

That he may withdraw<S>5493</S> man<S>120</S> <i>from his </i>purpose<S>4639</S>, and hide<S>3680</S> pride<S>1466</S> from man<S>1397</S>. <n>purpose: Heb. work</n>

He keepeth back<S>2820</S> his soul<S>5315</S> from the pit<S>7845</S>, and his life<S>2416</S> from perishing<S>5674</S> by the sword<S>7973</S>. <n>from perishing: Heb. from passing</n>


text:
He is chastened<S>3198</S> also with pain<S>4341</S> upon his bed<S>4904</S>, and the multitude<S>7230</S> <S>7379</S> of his bones<S>6106</S> with strong<S>386</S> <i>pain</i>:

So that his life<S>2416</S> abhorreth<S>2092</S> bread<S>3899</S>, and his soul<S>5315</S> dainty<S>8378</S> food<S>3978</S>. <n>dainty…: Heb. meat of desire</n>

His flesh<S>1320</S> is consumed away<S>3615</S>, that it cannot be seen<S>7210</S>; and his bones<S>6106</S> <i>that</i> were not seen<S>7200</S> stick out<S>8192</S> <S>8205</S>.

Yea, his soul<S>5315</S> draweth near<S>7126</S> to the grave<S>7845</S>, and his life<S>2416</S> to the destroyers<S>4191</S>.

If there<S>3426</S> is a messenger<S>4397</S> with him, an interpreter<S>3887</S>, one<S>259</S> among a thousand<S>505</S>, to show<S>5046</S> to man<S>120</S> his uprightness<S>3476</S>:

Then he is gracious<S>2603</S> to him, and saith<S>559</S>, Deliver<S>6308</S> him from going down<S>3381</S> to the pit<S>7845</S>: I have found<S>4672</S> a ransom<S>3724</S>. <n>a ransom: or, an atonement</n>

His flesh<S>1320</S> shall be fresher<S>7375</S> than a child’s<S>5290</S>: he shall return<S>7725</S> to the days<S>3117</S> of his youth<S>5934</S>: <n>a child’s: Heb. childhood</n>

He shall pray<S>6279</S> to God<S>433</S>, and he will be favourable<S>7521</S> to him: and he shall see<S>7200</S> his face<S>6440</S> with joy<S>8643</S>: for he will render<S>7725</S> to man<S>582</S> his righteousness<S>6666</S>.

He looketh<S>7789</S> upon men<S>582</S>, and <i>if any</i> shall say<S>559</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S>, and perverted<S>5753</S> <i>that which was </i>right<S>3477</S>, and it profited<S>7737</S> me not; <n>He…: or, He shall look upon men, and say</n>

Lo, all these <i>things </i>God<S>410</S> often<S>6471</S> <S>7969</S> worketh<S>6466</S> with man<S>1397</S>, <n>oftentimes: Heb. twice and thrice</n>

Mark well<S>7181</S>, O Job<S>347</S>, hearken<S>8085</S> to me: hold thy peace<S>2790</S>, and I will speak<S>1696</S>.

If thou hast<S>3426</S> any thing to say<S>4405</S>, answer<S>7725</S> me: speak<S>1696</S>, for I desire<S>2654</S> to justify<S>6663</S> thee.

If not, hearken<S>8085</S> to me: hold thy peace<S>2790</S>, and I shall teach<S>502</S> thee wisdom<S>2451</S>.

Hear<S>8085</S> my words<S>4405</S>, O ye wise<S>2450</S> <i>men</i>; and give ear<S>238</S> to me, ye that have knowledge<S>3045</S>.

For the ear<S>241</S> trieth<S>974</S> words<S>4405</S>, as the mouth<S>2441</S> tasteth<S>2938</S> food<S>398</S>. <n>mouth: Heb. palate</n>

Let us choose<S>977</S> for ourselves <i>what is </i>right<S>4941</S>: let us know<S>3045</S> among ourselves what <i>is </i>good<S>2896</S>.


text:
For Job<S>347</S> hath said<S>559</S>, I am righteous<S>6663</S>: and God<S>410</S> hath taken away<S>5493</S> my judgment<S>4941</S>.

Should I lie<S>3576</S> against my right<S>4941</S>? my wound<S>2671</S> <i>is </i>incurable<S>605</S> without transgression<S>6588</S>. <n>my wound: Heb. mine arrow</n>

What man<S>1397</S> <i>is</i> like Job<S>347</S>, <i>who</i> drinketh up<S>8354</S> scorning<S>3933</S> like water<S>4325</S>?


text:
Who goeth<S>732</S> in company<S>2274</S> with the workers<S>6466</S> of iniquity<S>205</S>, and walketh<S>3212</S> with wicked<S>7562</S> men<S>582</S>.


text:
For he hath said<S>559</S>, It profiteth<S>5532</S> a man<S>1397</S> nothing that he should delight<S>7521</S> himself with God<S>430</S>.


text:
Therefore hearken<S>8085</S> to me, ye men<S>582</S> of understanding<S>3824</S>: far be it<S>2486</S> from God<S>410</S>, <i>that he should do </i>wickedness<S>7562</S>; and <i>from</i> the Almighty<S>7706</S>, <i>that he should commit </i>iniquity<S>5766</S>. <n>men…: Heb. men of heart</n>

For the work<S>6467</S> of a man<S>120</S> he shall render<S>7999</S> to him, and cause every man<S>376</S> to find<S>4672</S> according to <i>his </i>ways<S>734</S>.


text:
Yea, surely<S>551</S> God<S>410</S> will not do wickedly<S>7561</S>, neither will the Almighty<S>7706</S> pervert<S>5791</S> judgment<S>4941</S>.

Who hath given him a charge<S>6485</S> over the earth<S>776</S>? or who hath disposed<S>7760</S> the whole world<S>8398</S>? <n>the whole: Heb. all of it?</n>


text:
If he should set<S>7760</S> his heart<S>3820</S> upon man, <i>if</i> he should gather<S>622</S> to himself his spirit<S>7307</S> and his breath<S>5397</S>; <n>man: Heb. him</n>

All flesh<S>1320</S> would perish<S>1478</S> together<S>3162</S>, and man<S>120</S> would turn again<S>7725</S> to dust<S>6083</S>.

If now <i>thou hast </i>understanding<S>998</S>, hear<S>8085</S> this: hearken<S>238</S> to the voice<S>6963</S> of my words<S>4405</S>.

Shall even he that hateth<S>8130</S> right<S>4941</S> govern<S>2280</S>? and wilt thou condemn<S>7561</S> him that is most<S>3524</S> just<S>6662</S>? <n>govern: Heb. bind?</n>


text:
<i>Is it fit</i> to say<S>559</S> to a king<S>4428</S>, <i>Thou art </i>wicked<S>1100</S>? <i>and</i> to princes<S>5081</S>, <i>Ye are </i>ungodly<S>7563</S>?

<i>How much less to him</i> that accepteth<S>5375</S> not the persons<S>6440</S> of princes<S>8269</S>, nor regardeth<S>5234</S> the rich<S>7771</S> more than<S>6440</S> the poor<S>1800</S>? for they all <i>are</i> the work<S>4639</S> of his hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
In a moment<S>7281</S> they shall die<S>4191</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> shall be troubled<S>1607</S> at midnight<S>2676</S> <S>3915</S>, and pass away<S>5674</S>: and the mighty<S>47</S> shall be taken away<S>5493</S> without hand<S>3027</S>. <n>the mighty…: Heb. they shall take away the mighty</n>

For his eyes<S>5869</S> <i>are</i> upon the ways<S>1870</S> of man<S>376</S>, and he seeth<S>7200</S> all his goings<S>6806</S>.

<i>There is</i> no darkness<S>2822</S>, nor shadow of death<S>6757</S>, where the workers<S>6466</S> of iniquity<S>205</S> may hide<S>5641</S> themselves.


text:
For he will not lay<S>7760</S> upon man<S>376</S> more <i>than right</i>; that he should enter<S>1980</S> into judgment<S>4941</S> with God<S>410</S>. <n>enter: Heb. go</n>

He shall break in pieces<S>7489</S> mighty men<S>3524</S> without number<S>2714</S>, and set<S>5975</S> others<S>312</S> in their stead. <n>number: Heb. searching out</n>


text:
Therefore he knoweth<S>5234</S> their works<S>4566</S>, and he overturneth<S>2015</S> <i>them</i> in the night<S>3915</S>, so that they are destroyed<S>1792</S>. <n>destroyed: Heb. crushed</n>


text:
He striketh<S>5606</S> them as<S>8478</S> wicked men<S>7563</S> in the open<S>4725</S> sight<S>7200</S> of others; <n>open…: Heb. place of beholders</n>

Because they turned back<S>5493</S> from him<S>310</S>, and would not consider<S>7919</S> any of his ways<S>1870</S>: <n>him: Heb. after him</n>

So that they cause the cry<S>6818</S> of the poor<S>1800</S> to come<S>935</S> to him, and he heareth<S>8085</S> the cry<S>6818</S> of the afflicted<S>6041</S>.


text:
When he giveth quietness<S>8252</S>, who then can make trouble<S>7561</S>? and when he hideth<S>5641</S> <i>his </i>face<S>6440</S>, who then can behold<S>7789</S> him? whether <i>it be done</i> against a nation<S>1471</S>, or against a man<S>120</S> only<S>3162</S>:

That the hypocrite<S>120</S> <S>2611</S> may not reign<S>4427</S>, lest the people<S>5971</S> should be ensnared<S>4170</S>.


text:
Surely hast <i>any one </i>said<S>559</S> to God<S>410</S>, I have borne<S>5375</S> <i>chastisement</i>, I will not offend<S>2254</S> <i>any more</i>:

<i>Should it be</i> according to thy mind? he will recompense<S>7999</S> it, whether thou shalt refuse<S>3588</S> <S>3988</S>, or whether thou shalt choose<S>977</S>; and not I: therefore speak<S>1696</S> what thou knowest<S>3045</S>. <n>according…: Heb. from with thee?</n>

Let men<S>582</S> of understanding<S>3824</S> tell<S>559</S> me, and let a wise<S>2450</S> man<S>1397</S> hearken<S>8085</S> to me. <n>of…: Heb. of heart</n>


text:
Job<S>347</S> hath spoken<S>1696</S> without knowledge<S>1847</S>, and his words<S>1697</S> <i>were</i> without wisdom<S>7919</S>.

My desire<S>15</S> <S>1</S> <i>is that </i>Job<S>347</S> may be tried<S>974</S> to the end<S>5331</S> because of <i>his </i>answers<S>8666</S> for wicked<S>205</S> men<S>582</S>. <n>My…: or, My father, let Job be tried</n>


text:
For he addeth<S>3254</S> rebellion<S>6588</S> to his sin<S>2403</S>, he clappeth<S>5606</S> <i>his hands</i> among us, and multiplieth<S>7235</S> his words<S>561</S> against God<S>410</S>.


text:
Thinkest<S>2803</S> thou this to be right<S>4941</S>, <i>that</i> thou saidst<S>559</S>, My righteousness<S>6664</S> <i>is</i> more than God’s<S>410</S>?

For thou saidst<S>559</S>, What advantage<S>5532</S> will it be to thee? <i>and</i>, What profit<S>3276</S> shall I have, <i>if I be cleansed</i> from my sin<S>2403</S>? <n>if…: or, by it more than by my sin</n>


text:
I will answer<S>7725</S> <S>4405</S> thee, and thy companions<S>7453</S> with thee. <n>answer…: Heb. return to thee words</n>


text:
Look<S>5027</S> to the heavens<S>8064</S>, and see<S>7200</S>; and behold<S>7789</S> the clouds<S>7834</S> <i>which</i> are higher<S>1361</S> than thou.


text:
If thou sinnest<S>2398</S>, what doest<S>6466</S> thou against him? or <i>if</i> thy transgressions<S>6588</S> are multiplied<S>7231</S>, what doest<S>6213</S> thou to him?


text:
If thou art righteous<S>6663</S>, what givest<S>5414</S> thou to him? or what receiveth<S>3947</S> he from thy hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Thy wickedness<S>7562</S> <i>may hurt</i> a man<S>376</S> as thou <i>art</i>; and thy righteousness<S>6666</S> <i>may profit</i> the son<S>1121</S> of man<S>120</S>.


text:
By reason of the multitude<S>7230</S> of oppressions<S>6217</S> they make <i>the oppressed</i> to cry<S>2199</S>: they cry out<S>7768</S> by reason of the arm<S>2220</S> of the mighty<S>7227</S>.


text:
But none saith<S>559</S>, Where <i>is </i>God<S>433</S> my maker<S>6213</S>, who giveth<S>5414</S> songs<S>2158</S> in the night<S>3915</S>;


text:
Who teacheth<S>502</S> us more than the beasts<S>929</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, and maketh us wiser<S>2449</S> than the fowls<S>5775</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>?


text:
There they cry<S>6817</S>, but none giveth answer<S>6030</S>, because<S>6440</S> of the pride<S>1347</S> of evil men<S>7451</S>.


text:
Surely God<S>410</S> will not hear<S>8085</S> vanity<S>7723</S>, neither will the Almighty<S>7706</S> regard<S>7789</S> it.


text:
Although<S>637</S> thou sayest<S>559</S> thou shalt not see<S>7789</S> him, <i>yet </i>judgment<S>1779</S> <i>is </i>before<S>6440</S> him; therefore trust<S>2342</S> thou in him.


text:
But now, because <i>it is</i> not <i>so</i>, he hath visited<S>6485</S> in his anger<S>639</S>; yet he knoweth<S>3045</S> <i>it</i> not in great<S>3966</S> extremity<S>6580</S>: <n>he hath: that is, God hath he knoweth: that is, Job knoweth</n>


text:
Therefore doth Job<S>347</S> open<S>6475</S> his mouth<S>6310</S> in vain<S>1892</S>; he multiplieth<S>3527</S> words<S>4405</S> without<S>1097</S> knowledge<S>1847</S>.


text:
Bear <i>with<S>3803</S></i> me a little<S>2191</S>, and I will show<S>2331</S> thee that <i>I have</i> yet to speak<S>4405</S> on God’s<S>433</S> behalf. <n>I have…: Heb. there are yet words for God</n>


text:
I will bring<S>5375</S> my knowledge<S>1843</S> from afar<S>7350</S>, and will ascribe<S>5414</S> righteousness<S>6664</S> to my Maker<S>6466</S>.


text:
For truly<S>551</S> my words<S>4405</S> <i>shall</i> not <i>be </i>false<S>8267</S>: he that is perfect<S>8549</S> in knowledge<S>1844</S> <i>is</i> with thee.


text:
Behold, God<S>410</S> <i>is </i>mighty<S>3524</S>, and despiseth<S>3988</S> not <i>any: he is </i>mighty<S>3524</S> in strength<S>3581</S> <i>and </i>wisdom<S>3820</S>. <n>wisdom: Heb. heart</n>


text:
He preserveth not the life<S>2421</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S>: but giveth<S>5414</S> right<S>4941</S> to the poor<S>6041</S>. <n>poor: or, afflicted</n>


text:
He withdraweth<S>1639</S> not his eyes<S>5869</S> from the righteous<S>6662</S>: but with kings<S>4428</S> <i>are they</i> on the throne<S>3678</S>; yea, he doth establish<S>3427</S> them for ever<S>5331</S>, and they are exalted<S>1361</S>.


text:
And if <i>they are </i>bound<S>631</S> in fetters<S>2131</S>, <i>and</i> are held<S>3920</S> in cords<S>2256</S> of affliction<S>6040</S>;


text:
Then he showeth<S>5046</S> them their work<S>6467</S>, and their transgressions<S>6588</S> that they have exceeded<S>1396</S>.


text:
He openeth<S>1540</S> also their ear<S>241</S> to discipline<S>4148</S>, and commandeth<S>559</S> that they return<S>7725</S> from iniquity<S>205</S>.


text:
If they obey<S>8085</S> and serve<S>5647</S> <i>him</i>, they shall spend<S>3615</S> their days<S>3117</S> in prosperity<S>2896</S>, and their years<S>8141</S> in pleasures<S>5273</S>.


text:
But if they obey<S>8085</S> not, they shall perish<S>5674</S> by the sword<S>7973</S>, and they shall die<S>1478</S> without knowledge<S>1847</S>. <n>perish: Heb. pass away</n>

For by them he judgeth<S>1777</S> the people<S>5971</S>; he giveth<S>5414</S> food<S>400</S> in abundance<S>4342</S>.

After<S>310</S> it a voice<S>6963</S> roareth<S>7580</S>: he thundereth<S>7481</S> with the voice<S>6963</S> of his excellency<S>1347</S>; and he will not restrain<S>6117</S> them when his voice<S>6963</S> is heard<S>8085</S>.


text:
God<S>410</S> thundereth<S>7481</S> marvellously<S>6381</S> with his voice<S>6963</S>; great things<S>1419</S> he doeth<S>6213</S>, which we cannot comprehend<S>3045</S>.

For he saith<S>559</S> to the snow<S>7950</S>, Be thou<S>1933</S> <i>on</i> the earth<S>776</S>; likewise to the small<S>4306</S> rain<S>1653</S>, and to the great<S>4306</S> rain<S>1653</S> of his strength<S>5797</S>. <n>likewise…: Heb. and to the shower of rain, and to the showers of rain of his strength</n>

And now <i>men </i>see<S>7200</S> not the bright<S>925</S> light<S>216</S> which <i>is</i> in the clouds<S>7834</S>: but the wind<S>7307</S> passeth<S>5674</S>, and cleanseth<S>2891</S> them.

He scorneth<S>7832</S> the multitude<S>1995</S> of the city<S>7151</S>, neither regardeth<S>8085</S> he the crying<S>8663</S> of the driver<S>5065</S>. <n>of the driver: Heb. of the exactor</n>


text:
The range<S>3491</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S> <i>is</i> his pasture<S>4829</S>, and he searcheth<S>1875</S> after<S>310</S> every green thing<S>3387</S>.

Will the unicorn<S>7214</S> be willing<S>14</S> to serve<S>5647</S> thee, or abide<S>3885</S> by thy crib<S>18</S>?


text:
Canst thou bind<S>7194</S> the unicorn<S>7214</S> with his band<S>5688</S> in the furrow<S>8525</S>? or will he harrow<S>7702</S> the valleys<S>6010</S> after<S>310</S> thee?


text:
Wilt thou trust<S>982</S> him, because his strength<S>3581</S> <i>is </i>great<S>7227</S>? or wilt thou leave<S>5800</S> thy labour<S>3018</S> to him?


text:
Wilt thou believe<S>539</S> him, that he will bring home<S>7725</S> thy seed<S>2233</S>, and gather<S>622</S> <i>it into</i> thy barn<S>1637</S>?


text:
<i>Gavest thou</i> the goodly<S>7443</S> wings<S>3671</S> to the peacocks<S>5965</S>? or wings<S>84</S> and feathers<S>2624</S> to the ostrich<S>5133</S>? <n>wings and…: or, the feathers of the stork and ostrich</n>


text:
Which leaveth<S>5800</S> her eggs<S>1000</S> in the earth<S>776</S>, and warmeth<S>2552</S> them in the dust<S>6083</S>,


text:
And forgetteth<S>7911</S> that the foot<S>7272</S> may crush<S>2115</S> them, or that the wild<S>7704</S> beast<S>2416</S> may break<S>1758</S> them.


text:
She is hardened<S>7188</S> against her young ones<S>1121</S>, as though <i>they were </i>not<S>3808</S> hers: her labour<S>3018</S> is in vain<S>7385</S> without fear<S>6343</S>;


text:
Because God<S>433</S> hath withheld<S>5382</S> wisdom from her<S>2451</S>, neither hath he imparted<S>2505</S> to her understanding<S>998</S>.


text:
When<S>6256</S> she lifteth<S>4754</S> herself on high<S>4791</S>, she scorneth<S>7832</S> the horse<S>5483</S> and his rider<S>7392</S>.


text:
Hast thou given<S>5414</S> the horse<S>5483</S> strength<S>1369</S>? hast thou clothed<S>3847</S> his neck<S>6677</S> with thunder<S>7483</S>?


text:
Canst thou make him afraid<S>7493</S> as a grasshopper<S>697</S>? the glory<S>1935</S> of his nostrils<S>5170</S> <i>is </i>terrible<S>367</S>. <n>terrible: Heb. terror</n>


text:
He paweth<S>2658</S> in the valley<S>6010</S>, and rejoiceth<S>7797</S> in <i>his </i>strength<S>3581</S>: he goeth on<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the armed men<S>5402</S>. <n>He paweth: or, His feet dig the armed…: Heb. the armour</n>


text:
He mocketh<S>7832</S> at fear<S>6343</S>, and is not dismayed<S>2865</S>; neither turneth he back<S>7725</S> from<S>6440</S> the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
The quiver<S>827</S> rattleth<S>7439</S> against him, the glittering<S>3851</S> spear<S>2595</S> and the shield<S>3591</S>.


text:
He swalloweth<S>1572</S> the ground<S>776</S> with fierceness<S>7494</S> and rage<S>7267</S>: neither believeth<S>539</S> he that <i>it is</i> the sound<S>6963</S> of the trumpet<S>7782</S>.


text:
He saith<S>559</S> among<S>1767</S> the trumpets<S>7782</S>, Ha<S>1889</S>, ha<S>1889</S>; and he smelleth<S>7306</S> the battle<S>4421</S> afar off<S>7350</S>, the thunder<S>7482</S> of the captains<S>8269</S>, and the shouting<S>8643</S>.


text:
Doth the hawk<S>5322</S> fly<S>82</S> by thy wisdom<S>998</S>, <i>and </i>stretch<S>6566</S> her wings<S>3671</S> toward the south<S>8486</S>?

Doth the eagle<S>5404</S> mount up<S>1361</S> at thy command<S>6310</S>, and make<S>7311</S> her nest<S>7064</S> on high<S>7311</S>? <n>at…: Heb. by thy mouth</n>

She dwelleth<S>7931</S> and abideth<S>3885</S> on the rock<S>5553</S>, upon the crag<S>8127</S> of the rock<S>5553</S>, and the strong place<S>4686</S>.

From there she seeketh<S>2658</S> the prey<S>400</S>, <i>and</i> her eyes<S>5869</S> behold<S>5027</S> afar off<S>7350</S>.

Her young ones<S>667</S> also suck up<S>5966</S> blood<S>1818</S>: and where the slain<S>2491</S> <i>are</i>, there <i>is </i>she<S>1931</S>.


text:
Shall he that contendeth<S>7378</S> with the Almighty<S>7706</S> instruct<S>3250</S> <i>him</i>? he that reproveth<S>3198</S> God<S>433</S>, let him answer<S>6030</S> it.


text:
Behold, I am vile<S>7043</S>; what shall I answer<S>7725</S> thee? I will lay<S>7760</S> my hand<S>3027</S> upon<S>3926</S> my mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
Once<S>259</S> have I spoken<S>1696</S>; but I will not answer<S>6030</S>: yea, twice<S>8147</S>; but I will proceed no further<S>3254</S>.


text:
Gird up<S>247</S> thy loins<S>2504</S> now like a man<S>1397</S>: I will demand<S>7592</S> of thee, and declare<S>3045</S> thou to me.


text:
Wilt thou also settest aside<S>6565</S> my judgment<S>4941</S>? wilt thou condemn<S>7561</S> me, that thou mayest be righteous<S>6663</S>?


text:
Hast thou an arm<S>2220</S> like God<S>410</S>? or canst thou thunder<S>7481</S> with a voice<S>6963</S> like his?


text:
Deck<S>5710</S> thyself now <i>with </i>majesty<S>1347</S> and excellency<S>1363</S>; and array<S>3847</S> thyself with glory<S>1935</S> and beauty<S>1926</S>.


text:
Cast abroad<S>6327</S> the rage<S>5678</S> of thy wrath<S>639</S>: and behold<S>7200</S> every one <i>that is </i>proud<S>1343</S>, and abase<S>8213</S> him.


text:
Look<S>7200</S> on every one <i>that is </i>proud<S>1343</S>, <i>and</i> bring him low<S>3665</S>; and tread down<S>1915</S> the wicked<S>7563</S> in their place.


text:
Hide<S>2934</S> them in the dust<S>6083</S> together<S>3162</S>; bind<S>2280</S> their faces<S>6440</S> in secret<S>2934</S>.


text:
Then will I also confess<S>3034</S> to thee that thy own right hand<S>3225</S> can save<S>3467</S> thee.


text:
Behold now behemoth<S>930</S>, which I made<S>6213</S> with thee; he eateth<S>398</S> grass<S>2682</S> as an ox<S>1241</S>. <n>behemoth: probably an extinct animal of some kind</n>


text:
Lo now, his strength<S>3581</S> <i>is</i> in his loins<S>4975</S>, and his force<S>202</S> <i>is</i> in the sinew<S>8306</S> of his belly<S>990</S>.


text:
He moveth<S>2654</S> his tail<S>2180</S> like a cedar<S>730</S>: the sinews<S>1517</S> of his thighs<S>6344</S> are knit together<S>8276</S>. <n>He…: or, He setteth up</n>


text:
His bones<S>6106</S> <i>are as </i>strong<S>650</S> pieces of brass<S>5154</S>; his bones<S>1634</S> <i>are</i> like bars<S>4300</S> of iron<S>1270</S>.


text:
He <i>is</i> the chief<S>7225</S> of the ways<S>1870</S> of God<S>410</S>: he that made<S>6213</S> him can make<S>5066</S> his sword<S>2719</S> to approach<S>5066</S> <i>him</i>.


text:
Surely the mountains<S>2022</S> bring him forth<S>5375</S> food<S>944</S>, where all the beasts<S>2416</S> of the field<S>7704</S> play<S>7832</S>.


text:
He lieth<S>7901</S> under the shady trees<S>6628</S>, in the covert<S>5643</S> of the reed<S>7070</S>, and fens<S>1207</S>.


text:
The shady trees<S>6628</S> cover<S>5526</S> him <i>with</i> their shadow<S>6752</S>; the willows<S>6155</S> of the brook<S>5158</S> surround him<S>5437</S>.


text:
Behold, he drinketh up<S>6231</S> a river<S>5104</S>, <i>and </i>hasteth<S>2648</S> not: he trusteth<S>982</S> that he can draw up<S>1518</S> Jordan<S>3383</S> into his mouth<S>6310</S>. <n>he drinketh up: Heb. he oppresseth</n>


text:
He taketh<S>3947</S> it with his eyes<S>5869</S>: <i>his </i>nose<S>639</S> pierceth through<S>5344</S> snares<S>4170</S>. <n>He…: or, Will any take him in his sight, or, bore his nose with a gin?</n>


text:
Canst thou draw out<S>4900</S> leviathan<S>3882</S> with an hook<S>2443</S>? or his tongue<S>3956</S> with a cord<S>2256</S> <i>which</i> thou lettest down<S>8257</S>? <n>leviathan: probably an extinct animal of some kind which…: Heb. which thou drownest?</n>


text:
Canst thou put<S>7760</S> an hook<S>100</S> into his nose<S>639</S>? or bore<S>5344</S> his jaw<S>3895</S> through with a thorn<S>2336</S>?


text:
Will he make many<S>7235</S> supplications<S>8469</S> to thee? will he speak<S>1696</S> soft<S>7390</S> <i>words</i> to thee?


text:
Will he make<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with thee? wilt thou take<S>3947</S> him for a servant<S>5650</S> for ever<S>5769</S>?


text:
Wilt thou play<S>7832</S> with him as <i>with</i> a bird<S>6833</S>? or wilt thou bind<S>7194</S> him for thy maidens<S>5291</S>?


text:
Shall the companions<S>2271</S> make a banquet<S>3739</S> of him? shall they part<S>2673</S> him among the merchants<S>3669</S>?


text:
Canst thou fill<S>4390</S> his skin<S>5785</S> with barbed irons<S>7905</S>? or his head<S>7218</S> with fish<S>1709</S> spears<S>6767</S>?


text:
Lay<S>7760</S> thy hand<S>3709</S> upon him, remember<S>2142</S> the battle<S>4421</S>, do no more<S>3254</S>.


text:
Behold, the hope<S>8431</S> of him is in vain<S>3576</S>: shall not <i>one</i> be cast down<S>2904</S> even at the sight<S>4758</S> of him?


text:
None <i>is so </i>fierce<S>393</S> that he dare rouse him<S>5782</S>: who then is able to stand<S>3320</S> before<S>6440</S> me?


text:
Who hath given to<S>6923</S> me, that I should repay<S>7999</S> <i>him? whatever is</i> under the whole heaven<S>8064</S> is mine.


text:
I will not conceal<S>2790</S> his parts<S>907</S>, nor his power<S>1369</S> <S>1697</S>, nor his comely<S>2433</S> proportion<S>6187</S>.


text:
Who can uncover<S>1540</S> the face<S>6440</S> of his garment<S>3830</S>? <i>or</i> who can come<S>935</S> <i>to him</i> with his double<S>3718</S> bridle<S>7448</S>? <n>with: or, within</n>


text:
Who can open<S>6605</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of his face<S>6440</S>? Around<S>5439</S> his teeth<S>8127</S> <i>there is </i>terror<S>367</S>.


text:
<i>His </i> scales<S>4043</S> <S>650</S> <i>are his </i> pride<S>1346</S>, shut together<S>5462</S> <i>as with</i> a close<S>6862</S> seal<S>2368</S>. <n>scales: Heb. strong pieces of shields</n>


text:
One<S>259</S> is so near<S>5066</S> to another<S>259</S>, that no air<S>7307</S> can come<S>935</S> between them.


text:
They are joined<S>1692</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>251</S>, they stick together<S>3920</S>, that they cannot be sundered<S>6504</S>.


text:
His sneezes<S>5846</S> flash<S>1984</S> light<S>216</S>, and his eyes<S>5869</S> <i>are</i> like the eyelids<S>6079</S> of the morning<S>7837</S>.


text:
Out of his mouth<S>6310</S> go<S>1980</S> burning lamps<S>3940</S>, <i>and </i>sparks<S>3590</S> of fire<S>784</S> dart forth<S>4422</S>.


text:
Out of his nostrils<S>5156</S> goeth<S>3318</S> smoke<S>6227</S>, as <i>out</i> of a boiling<S>5301</S> pot<S>1731</S> or caldron<S>100</S>.


text:
His breath<S>5315</S> kindleth<S>3857</S> coals<S>1513</S>, and a flame<S>3851</S> goeth out<S>3318</S> of his mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
In his neck<S>6677</S> remaineth<S>3885</S> strength<S>5797</S>, and sorrow<S>1670</S> is turned into joy<S>1750</S> before<S>6440</S> him. <n>is turned into joy: Heb. rejoiceth</n>


text:
The flakes<S>4651</S> of his flesh<S>1320</S> are joined together<S>1692</S>: they are firm<S>3332</S> in themselves; they cannot be moved<S>4131</S>. <n>flakes: Heb. fallings</n>


text:
His heart<S>3820</S> is as firm<S>3332</S> as a stone<S>68</S>; yea, as hard<S>3332</S> as a piece<S>6400</S> of the lower<S>8482</S> <i>millstone</i>.


text:
When he raiseth<S>7613</S> himself, the mighty<S>352</S> are afraid<S>1481</S>: by reason of the crashing<S>7667</S> they purify<S>2398</S> themselves.


text:
The sword<S>2719</S> of him that overtaketh<S>5381</S> him cannot hold<S>6965</S>: the spear<S>2595</S>, the dart<S>4551</S>, nor the javelin<S>8302</S>. <n>habergeon: or, breastplate</n>


text:
He esteemeth<S>2803</S> iron<S>1270</S> as straw<S>8401</S>, <i>and </i>brass<S>5154</S> as rotten<S>7539</S> wood<S>6086</S>.


text:
The arrow<S>1121</S> <S>7198</S> cannot make him flee<S>1272</S>: slingstones<S>68</S> <S>7050</S> are turned<S>2015</S> with him into stubble<S>7179</S>.


text:
Darts<S>8455</S> are counted<S>2803</S> as stubble<S>7179</S>: he laugheth<S>7832</S> at the shaking<S>7494</S> of a spear<S>3591</S>.


text:
Sharp<S>2303</S> stones<S>2789</S> <i>are</i> under him: he spreadeth<S>7502</S> sharp pointed things<S>2742</S> upon the mire<S>2916</S>. <n>Sharp stones: Heb. Sharp pieces of potsherd</n>


text:
He maketh the deep<S>4688</S> to boil<S>7570</S> like a pot<S>5518</S>: he maketh<S>7760</S> the sea<S>3220</S> like a pot of ointment<S>4841</S>.


text:
He maketh a path<S>5410</S> to shine<S>215</S> after<S>310</S> him; <i>one</i> would think<S>2803</S> the deep<S>8415</S> <i>to be </i>hoary<S>7872</S>.


text:
Upon earth<S>6083</S> there is not his like<S>4915</S>, who is made<S>6213</S> without<S>1097</S> fear<S>2844</S>. <n>is made without fear: or, behave themselves without fear</n>


text:
He beholdeth<S>7200</S> all high<S>1364</S> <i>things</i>: he <i>is</i> a king<S>4428</S> over all the children<S>1121</S> of pride<S>7830</S>.


text:
I know<S>3045</S> that thou canst do<S>3201</S> every <i>thing</i>, and <i>that</i> no thought<S>4209</S> can be withheld<S>1219</S> from thee. <n>no thought can be…: or, no thought of thine can be hindered</n>


text:
Who <i>is</i> he that hideth<S>5956</S> counsel<S>6098</S> without knowledge<S>1847</S>? therefore have I uttered<S>5046</S> that which I understood<S>995</S> not; things too wonderful<S>6381</S> for me, which I knew<S>3045</S> not.


text:
Hear<S>8085</S>, I beseech thee, and I will speak<S>1696</S>: I will ask<S>7592</S> of thee, and declare<S>3045</S> thou to me.


text:
I have heard<S>8085</S> of thee by the hearing<S>8088</S> of the ear<S>241</S>: but now my eye<S>5869</S> seeth<S>7200</S> thee.


text:
Therefore I abhor<S>3988</S> <i>myself</i>, and repent<S>5162</S> in dust<S>6083</S> and ashes<S>665</S>.


text:
And it was <i>so</i>, that after<S>310</S> the LORD<S>3068</S> had spoken<S>1696</S> these words<S>1697</S> to Job<S>347</S>, the LORD<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Eliphaz<S>464</S> the Temanite<S>8489</S>, My wrath<S>639</S> is kindled<S>2734</S> against thee, and against thy two<S>8147</S> friends<S>7453</S>: for ye have not spoken<S>1696</S> of me <i>the thing that is </i>right<S>3559</S>, as my servant<S>5650</S> Job<S>347</S> <i>hath</i>.


text:
Therefore take<S>3947</S> to you now seven<S>7651</S> bulls<S>6499</S> and seven<S>7651</S> rams<S>352</S>, and go<S>3212</S> to my servant<S>5650</S> Job<S>347</S>, and offer<S>5927</S> for yourselves a burnt offering<S>5930</S>; and my servant<S>5650</S> Job<S>347</S> shall pray<S>6419</S> for you: for him<S>6440</S> will I accept<S>5375</S>: lest I deal<S>6213</S> with you <i>after your </i>folly<S>5039</S>, in that ye have not spoken<S>1696</S> of me <i>the thing which is </i>right<S>3559</S>, like my servant<S>5650</S> Job<S>347</S>. <n>him: Heb. his face, or, person</n>


text:
So Eliphaz<S>464</S> the Temanite<S>8489</S> and Bildad<S>1085</S> the Shuhite<S>7747</S> <i>and </i>Zophar<S>6691</S> the Naamathite<S>5284</S> went<S>3212</S>, and did<S>6213</S> according as the LORD<S>3068</S> commanded<S>1696</S> them: the LORD<S>3068</S> also accepted<S>5375</S> Job<S>6440</S> <S>347</S>. <n>Job: Heb. the face of Job</n>


text:
And the LORD<S>3068</S> turned<S>7725</S> the captivity<S>7622</S> <S>7622</S> of Job<S>347</S>, when he prayed<S>6419</S> for his friends<S>7453</S>: also the LORD<S>3068</S> gave<S>3254</S> Job<S>347</S> twice as much<S>4932</S> as he had before. <n>gave…: Heb. added all that had been to Job unto the double</n>

So the LORD<S>3068</S> blessed<S>1288</S> the latter end<S>319</S> of Job<S>347</S> more than his beginning<S>7225</S>: for he had fourteen<S>702</S> <S>6240</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>, and six<S>8337</S> thousand<S>505</S> camels<S>1581</S>, and a thousand<S>505</S> yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and a thousand<S>505</S> female donkeys<S>860</S>.
