But JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
HearH8085 diligentlyH8085 my speechH4405, and let this be your consolationsH8575.
SufferH5375 me that I may speakH1696; and afterH310 that I have spokenH1696, mock onH3932.
As for me, is my complaintH7879 to manH120? and if it were so, why should not my spiritH7307 be troubledH7114? {troubled: Heb. shortened?}
MarkH6437 me, and be astonishedH8074, and layH7760 your handH3027 upon your mouthH6310. {Mark…: Heb. Look unto me}
Even when I rememberH2142 I am afraidH926, and tremblingH6427 taketh hold onH270 my fleshH1320.
Wherefore do the wickedH7563 liveH2421, become oldH6275, yea, are mightyH1396 in powerH2428?
Their seedH2233 is establishedH3559 in their sightH6440 with them, and their offspringH6631 before their eyesH5869.
Their housesH1004 are safeH7965 from fearH6343, neither is the rodH7626 of GodH433 upon them. {safe…: Heb. peace from}
Their bullH7794 genderethH5674, and failethH1602 not; their cowH6510 calvethH6403, and casteth not her calfH7921.
They send forthH7971 their little onesH5759 like a flockH6629, and their childrenH3206 danceH7540.
They takeH5375 the timbrelH8596 and harpH3658, and rejoiceH8055 at the soundH6963 of the organH5748.
They spendH3615+H1086 their daysH3117 in wealthH2896, and in a momentH7281 go downH2865+H5181 to the graveH7585. {in wealth: or, in mirth}
Therefore they sayH559 unto GodH410, DepartH5493 from us; for we desireH2654 not the knowledgeH1847 of thy waysH1870.
What is the AlmightyH7706, that we should serveH5647 him? and what profitH3276 should we have, if we prayH6293 unto him?
Lo, their goodH2898 is not in their handH3027: the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me.
How oft is the candleH5216 of the wickedH7563 put outH1846! and how oft comethH935 their destructionH343 upon them! God distributethH2505 sorrowsH2256 in his angerH639. {candle: or, lamp}
They are as stubbleH8401 beforeH6440 the windH7307, and as chaffH4671 that the stormH5492 carrieth awayH1589. {carrieth: Heb. stealeth}
GodH433 layeth upH6845 his iniquityH205 for his childrenH1121: he rewardethH7999 him, and he shall knowH3045 it. {his iniquity: that is, the punishment of his iniquity}
His eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 his destructionH3589, and he shall drinkH8354 of the wrathH2534 of the AlmightyH7706.
For what pleasureH2656 hath he in his houseH1004 afterH310 him, when the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 is cut off in the midstH2686?
Shall any teachH3925 GodH410 knowledgeH1847? seeing he judgethH8199 those that are highH7311.
One diethH4191 in his fullH8537 strengthH6106, being wholly at easeH7946 and quietH7961. {his…: Heb. his very, or, the strength of, his perfection}
His breastsH5845 are fullH4390 of milkH2461, and his bonesH6106 are moistenedH8248 with marrowH4221. {breasts: or, milk pails}
And another diethH4191 in the bitternessH4751 of his soulH5315, and never eatethH398 with pleasureH2896.
They shall lie downH7901 alikeH3162 in the dustH6083, and the wormsH7415 shall coverH3680 them.
Behold, I knowH3045 your thoughtsH4284, and the devicesH4209 which ye wrongfully imagineH2554 against me.
For ye sayH559, Where is the houseH1004 of the princeH5081? and where are the dwellingH4908 placesH168 of the wickedH7563? {the dwelling…: Heb. the tent of the tabernacles}
Have ye not askedH7592 them that goH5674 by the wayH1870? and do ye not knowH5234 their tokensH226,
That the wickedH7451 is reservedH2820 to the dayH3117 of destructionH343? they shall be brought forthH2986 to the dayH3117 of wrathH5678. {wrath: Heb. wraths}
Who shall declareH5046 his wayH1870 to his faceH6440? and who shall repayH7999 him what he hath doneH6213?
Yet shall he be broughtH2986 to the graveH6913, and shall remainH8245 in the tombH1430. {grave: Heb. graves} {remain…: Heb. watch in the heap}
The clodsH7263 of the valleyH5158 shall be sweetH4985 unto him, and every manH120 shall drawH4900 afterH310 him, as there are innumerableH4557 beforeH6440 him.
How then comfortH5162 ye me in vainH1892, seeing in your answersH8666 there remainethH7604 falsehoodH4604? {falsehood: Heb. transgression?}

Then shalt thou lay upH7896 goldH1220 asH5921 dustH6083, and the gold of OphirH211 as the stonesH6697 of the brooksH5158. {as dust: or, on the dust}
IfH518 thou doest wellH3190, shalt thou not be acceptedH7613? and if thou doest not wellH3190, sinH2403 liethH7257 at the doorH6607. And unto thee shall be his desireH8669, and thou shalt ruleH4910 over him. {be accepted: or, have the excellency} {unto…: or, subject unto thee}
Thou shalt not bow downH7812 thyself to them, nor serveH5647 them: for I the LORDH3068 thy GodH430 am a jealousH7067 GodH410, visitingH6485 the iniquityH5771 of the fathersH1 upon the childrenH1121 unto the thirdH8029 and fourthH7256 generation of them that hateH8130 me;
If I whetH8150 my glitteringH1300 swordH2719, and mine handH3027 take holdH270 on judgmentH4941; I will renderH7725 vengeanceH5359 to mine enemiesH6862, and will rewardH7999 them that hateH8130 me.
Then shall ye returnH7725, and discernH7200 between the righteousH6662 and the wickedH7563, between him that servethH5647 GodH430 and him that servethH5647 him not.
SurelyH403 he hath borneH5375 our griefsH2483, and carriedH5445 our sorrowsH4341: yet we did esteemH2803 him strickenH5060, smittenH5221 of GodH430, and afflictedH6031.
But he was woundedH2490 for our transgressionsH6588, he was bruisedH1792 for our iniquitiesH5771: the chastisementH4148 of our peaceH7965 was upon him; and with his stripesH2250 we are healedH7495. {wounded: or, tormented} {stripes: Heb. bruise}
All we like sheepH6629 have gone astrayH8582; we have turnedH6437 every oneH376 to his own wayH1870; and the LORDH3068 hath laidH6293 on him the iniquityH5771 of us all. {laid…: Heb. made the iniquity of us all to meet on him}
Let his childrenH1121 be fatherlessH3490, and his wifeH802 a widowH490.
Let his childrenH1121 be continuallyH5128 vagabondsH5128, and begH7592: let them seekH1875 their bread also out of their desolate placesH2723.
Let the extortionerH5383 catchH5367 all that he hath; and let the strangersH2114 spoilH962 his labourH3018.
Let there be none to extendH4900 mercyH2617 unto him: neither let there be any to favourH2603 his fatherless childrenH3490.
Let his posterityH319 be cut offH3772; and in the generationH1755 followingH312 let their nameH8034 be blotted outH4229.
Let the iniquityH5771 of his fathersH1 be rememberedH2142 with the LORDH3068; and let not the sinH2403 of his motherH517 be blotted outH4229.
Let them be before the LORDH3068 continuallyH8548, that he may cut offH3772 the memoryH2143 of them from the earthH776.
Because that he rememberedH2142 not to shewH6213 mercyH2617, but persecutedH7291 the poorH6041 and needyH34 manH376, that he might even slayH4191 the brokenH3512 in heartH3824.
As he lovedH157 cursingH7045, so let it comeH935 unto him: as he delightedH2654 not in blessingH1293, so let it be farH7368 from him.
As he clothedH3847 himself with cursingH7045 like as with his garmentH4055, so let it comeH935 into his bowelsH7130 like waterH4325, and like oilH8081 into his bonesH6106. {into his bowels: Heb. within him}
Let it be unto him as the garmentH899 which coverethH5844 him, and for a girdleH4206 wherewith he is girdedH2296 continuallyH8548.
Let this be the rewardH6468 of mine adversariesH7853 from the LORDH3068, and of them that speakH1696 evilH7451 against my soulH5315.
But doH6213 thou for me, O GODH3069 the LordH136, for thy name'sH8034 sake: because thy mercyH2617 is goodH2896, deliverH5337 thou me.
For I am poorH6041 and needyH34, and my heartH3820 is woundedH2490 withinH7130 me.
I am goneH1980 like the shadowH6738 when it declinethH5186: I am tossed up and downH5287 as the locustH697.
My kneesH1290 are weakH3782 through fastingH6685; and my fleshH1320 failethH3584 of fatnessH8081.
I became also a reproachH2781 unto them: when they lookedH7200 upon me they shakedH5128 their headsH7218.
HelpH5826 me, O LORDH3068 my GodH430: O saveH3467 me according to thy mercyH2617:
That they may knowH3045 that this is thy handH3027; that thou, LORDH3068, hast doneH6213 it.
Let them curseH7043, but blessH1288 thou: when they ariseH6965, let them be ashamedH954; but let thy servantH5650 rejoiceH8055.
Let mine adversariesH7853 be clothedH3847 with shameH3639, and let them coverH5844 themselves with their own confusionH1322, as with a mantleH4598.
I will greatlyH3966 praiseH3034 the LORDH3068 with my mouthH6310; yea, I will praiseH1984 him amongH8432 the multitudeH7227.
For he shall standH5975 at the right handH3225 of the poorH34, to saveH3467 him from those that condemnH8199 his soulH5315. {those…: Heb. the judges of}
And I am this dayH3117 weakH7390, though anointedH4886 kingH4428; and these menH582 the sonsH1121 of ZeruiahH6870 be too hardH7186 for me: the LORDH3068 shall rewardH7999 the doer of evilH6213 according to his wickednessH7451. {weak: Heb. tender}
LayG2343 notG3361 upG2343 for yourselvesG5213 treasuresG2344 uponG1909 earthG1093, whereG3699 mothG4597 andG2532 rustG1035 doth corruptG853, andG2532 whereG3699 thievesG2812 break throughG1358 andG2532 stealG2813:
ForG1063 he hath madeG4160 him to be sinG266 forG5228 usG2257, whoG3588 knewG1097 noG3361 sinG266; thatG2443 weG2249 might be madeG1096 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 inG1722 himG846.
PrepareH3559 slaughterH4293 for his childrenH1121 for the iniquityH5771 of their fathersH1; that they do notH1077 riseH6965, nor possessH3423 the landH776, nor fillH4390 the faceH6440 of the worldH8398 with citiesH6145+H5892.
He shall rewardH7725+H7725 evilH7451 unto mine enemiesH8324: cut them offH6789 in thy truthH571. {mine…: Heb. those that observe me}
ButG1161 lay upG2343 for yourselvesG5213 treasuresG2344 inG1722 heavenG3772, whereG3699 neitherG3777 mothG4597 norG3777 rustG1035 doth corruptG853, andG2532 whereG3699 thievesG2812 doG1358 notG3756 break throughG1358 norG3761 stealG2813:
Now, lo, if he begetH3205 a sonH1121, that seethH7200 all his father'sH1 sinsH2403 which he hath doneH6213, and considerethH7200, and doethH6213 not such likeH2004,
ForG1063 the SonG5207 of manG444 shallG3195 comeG2064 inG1722 the gloryG1391 of hisG846 FatherG3962 withG3326 hisG846 angelsG32; andG2532 thenG5119 he shall rewardG591 every manG1538 accordingG2596 to hisG846 worksG4234.
ButG1161 afterG2596 thyG4675 hardnessG4643 andG2532 impenitentG279 heartG2588 treasurest upG2343 unto thyselfG4572 wrathG3709 againstG1722 the dayG2250 of wrathG3709 andG2532 revelationG602 of the righteous judgmentG1341 of GodG2316;
Yet sayH559 ye, Why? doth not the sonH1121 bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the fatherH1? When the sonH1121 hath doneH6213 that which is lawfulH4941 and rightH6666, and hath keptH8104 all my statutesH2708, and hath doneH6213 them, he shall surelyH2421 liveH2421.
AlexanderG223 the coppersmithG5471 didG1731 meG3427 muchG4183 evilG2556: the LordG2962 rewardG591 himG846 according toG2596 hisG846 worksG2041:
The soulH5315 that sinnethH2398, it shall dieH4191. The sonH1121 shall not bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the fatherH1, neither shall the fatherH1 bearH5375 the iniquityH5771 of the sonH1121: the righteousnessH6666 of the righteousH6662 shall be upon him, and the wickednessH7564 of the wickedH7563 shall be upon him.
RewardG591 herG846 evenG2532 asG5613 sheG846+G3778 rewardedG591 youG5213, andG2532 doubleG1363 unto herG846 doubleG1362 according toG2596 herG846 worksG2041: inG1722 the cupG4221 whichG3739 she hath filledG2767 fillG2767 to herG846 doubleG1362.
WhereforeG5620 ye be witnessesG3140 unto yourselvesG1438, thatG3754 ye areG2075 the childrenG5207 of them which killedG5407 the prophetsG4396.
FillG4137 yeG5210 upG4137 thenG2532 the measureG3358 of yourG5216 fathersG3962.
Ye serpentsG3789, ye generationG1081 of vipersG2191, howG4459 can yeG5343 escapeG575 the damnationG2920 of hellG1067?
WhereforeG1223+G5124, beholdG2400, IG1473 sendG649 untoG4314 youG5209 prophetsG4396, andG2532 wise menG4680, andG2532 scribesG1122: andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 ye shall killG615 andG2532 crucifyG4717; andG2532 some ofG1537 themG846 shall ye scourgeG3146 inG1722 yourG5216 synagoguesG4864, andG2532 persecuteG1377 them fromG575 cityG4172 toG1519 cityG4172:
ThatG3704 uponG1909 youG5209 may comeG2064 allG3956 the righteousG1342 bloodG129 shedG1632 uponG1909 the earthG1093, fromG575 the bloodG129 of righteousG1342 AbelG6 untoG2193 the bloodG129 of ZachariasG2197 sonG5207 of BarachiasG914, whomG3739 ye slewG5407 betweenG3342 the templeG3485 andG2532 the altarG2379.
