Versliste
It isG4851 notG3756 expedientG4851 for meG3427 doubtlessG1211 to gloryG2744+G1063. I will comeG2064 toG1519 visionsG3701 andG2532 revelationsG602 of the LordG2962. {I will come: Gr. For I will come}
I knewG1492 a manG444 inG1722 ChristG5547 aboveG4253 fourteenG1180 yearsG2094 agoG4253, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492; or whetherG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;) such an oneG5108 caught upG726 toG2193 the thirdG5154 heavenG3772.
AndG2532 I knewG1492 suchG5108 a manG444, (whetherG1535 inG1722 the bodyG4983, orG1535 outG1622 of the bodyG4983, I cannotG3756 tellG1492: GodG2316 knowethG1492;)
How thatG3754 he was caught upG726 intoG1519 paradiseG3857, andG2532 heardG191 unspeakableG731 wordsG4487, whichG3739 it isG1832 notG3756 lawfulG1832 for a manG444 to utterG2980. {lawful: or, possible}
OfG5228 such an oneG5108 will I gloryG2744: yetG1161 ofG5228 myselfG1683 I willG2744 notG3756 gloryG2744, butG1508 inG1722 mineG3450 infirmitiesG769.
ForG1063 thoughG1437 I would desireG2309 to gloryG2744, I shallG2071 notG3756 beG2071 a foolG878; forG1063 I will sayG2046 the truthG225: butG1161 now I forbearG5339, lestG3361 any manG5100 should thinkG3049 ofG1519 meG1691 aboveG5228 that whichG3739 he seethG991 meG3165 to be, orG2228 that he hearethG191 ofG5100+G1537 meG1700.
AndG2532 lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229 through the abundanceG5236 of the revelationsG602, there was givenG1325 to meG3427 a thornG4647 in the fleshG4561, the messengerG32 of SatanG4566 toG2443 buffetG2852 meG3165, lestG3363 I should be exalted above measureG5229.
ForG5228 this thingG5127 I besoughtG3870 the LordG2962 thriceG5151, thatG2443 it might departG868 fromG575 meG1700.
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ'sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 amG1510 I strongG1415.
Moreover JobH347 continuedH3254+H5375 his parableH4912, and saidH559, {continued: Heb. added to take up}
Oh thatH5414 I were as in monthsH3391 pastH6924, as in the daysH3117 when GodH433 preservedH8104 me;
When his candleH5216 shinedH1984 upon my headH7218, and when by his lightH216 I walkedH3212 through darknessH2822; {candle: or, lamp}
As I was in the daysH3117 of my youthH2779, when the secretH5475 of GodH433 was upon my tabernacleH168;
When the AlmightyH7706 was yet with me, when my childrenH5288 were aboutH5439 me;
When I washedH7364 my stepsH1978 with butterH2529, and the rockH6697 poured me outH6694 riversH6388 of oilH8081; {me: Heb. with me}
When I went outH3318 to the gateH8179 through the cityH7176, when I preparedH3559 my seatH4186 in the streetH7339!
The young menH5288 sawH7200 me, and hidH2244 themselves: and the agedH3453 aroseH6965, and stood upH5975.
The princesH8269 refrainedH6113 talkingH4405, and laidH7760 their handH3709 on their mouthH6310.
The noblesH5057 heldH2244 their peaceH6963, and their tongueH3956 cleavedH1692 to the roof of their mouthH2441. {The nobles…: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid}
When the earH241 heardH8085 me, then it blessedH833 me; and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200 me, it gave witnessH5749 to me:
Because I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 that criedH7768, and the fatherlessH3490, and him that had none to helpH5826 him.
The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6 cameH935 upon me: and I caused the widow'sH490 heartH3820 to sing for joyH7442.
I putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me: my judgmentH4941 was as a robeH4598 and a diademH6797.
I was eyesH5869 to the blindH5787, and feetH7272 was I to the lameH6455.
I was a fatherH1 to the poorH34: and the causeH7379 which I knewH3045 not I searched outH2713.
And I brakeH7665 the jawsH4973 of the wickedH5767, and pluckedH7993 the spoilH2964 out of his teethH8127. {the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders} {plucked: Heb. cast}
Then I saidH559, I shall dieH1478 in my nestH7064, and I shall multiplyH7235 my daysH3117 as the sandH2344.
My rootH8328 was spread outH6605 by the watersH4325, and the dewH2919 lay all nightH3885 upon my branchH7105. {spread…: Heb. opened}
My gloryH3519 was freshH2319 in meH5978, and my bowH7198 was renewedH2498 in my handH3027. {fresh: Heb. new} {renewed: Heb. changed}
Unto me men gave earH8085, and waitedH3176, and kept silenceH1826 atH3926 my counselH6098.
AfterH310 my wordsH1697 they spake not againH8138; and my speechH4405 droppedH5197 upon them.
And they waitedH3176 for me as for the rainH4306; and they openedH6473 their mouthH6310 wide as for the latter rainH4456.
If I laughedH7832 on them, they believedH539 it not; and the lightH216 of my countenanceH6440 they cast not downH5307.
I choseH977 out their wayH1870, and satH3427 chiefH7218, and dweltH7931 as a kingH4428 in the armyH1416, as one that comfortethH5162 the mournersH57.
Then JobH347 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559,
I knowH3045 that thou canst doH3201 every thing, and that no thoughtH4209 can be withholdenH1219 from thee. {no thought can be…: or, no thought of thine can be hindered}
Who is he that hidethH5956 counselH6098 without knowledgeH1847? therefore have I utteredH5046 that I understoodH995 not; things too wonderfulH6381 for me, which I knewH3045 not.
HearH8085, I beseech thee, and I will speakH1696: I will demandH7592 of thee, and declareH3045 thou unto me.
I have heardH8085 of thee by the hearingH8088 of the earH241: but now mine eyeH5869 seethH7200 thee.
Wherefore I abhorH3988 myself, and repentH5162 in dustH6083 and ashesH665.
And it was so, that afterH310 the LORDH3068 had spokenH1696 these wordsH1697 unto JobH347, the LORDH3068 saidH559 to EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, My wrathH639 is kindledH2734 against thee, and against thy twoH8147 friendsH7453: for ye have not spokenH1696 of me the thing that is rightH3559, as my servantH5650 JobH347 hath.
Therefore takeH3947 unto you now sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, and goH3212 to my servantH5650 JobH347, and offer upH5927 for yourselves a burnt offeringH5930; and my servantH5650 JobH347 shall prayH6419 for you: for himH6440 will I acceptH5375: lest I dealH6213 with you after your follyH5039, in that ye have not spokenH1696 of me the thing which is rightH3559, like my servantH5650 JobH347. {him: Heb. his face, or, person}
So EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 and BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747 and ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284 wentH3212, and didH6213 according as the LORDH3068 commandedH1696 them: the LORDH3068 also acceptedH5375 JobH6440+H347. {Job: Heb. the face of Job}
And the LORDH3068 turnedH7725 the captivityH7622+H7622 of JobH347, when he prayedH6419 for his friendsH7453: also the LORDH3068 gaveH3254 JobH347 twice as muchH4932 as he had before. {gave…: Heb. added all that had been to Job unto the double}
Then cameH935 there unto him all his brethrenH251, and all his sistersH269, and all they that had been of his acquaintanceH3045 beforeH6440, and did eatH398 breadH3899 with him in his houseH1004: and they bemoanedH5110 him, and comfortedH5162 him over all the evilH7451 that the LORDH3068 had broughtH935 upon him: every manH376 also gaveH5414 him aH259 piece of moneyH7192, and every oneH376 an earringH5141 of goldH2091.
So the LORDH3068 blessedH1288 the latter endH319 of JobH347 more than his beginningH7225: for he had fourteenH702+H6240 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and sixH8337 thousandH505 camelsH1581, and a thousandH505 yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and a thousandH505 she assesH860.
He had also sevenH7658 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323.
And he calledH7121 the nameH8034 of the firstH259, JemimaH3224; and the nameH8034 of the secondH8145, KeziaH7103; and the nameH8034 of the thirdH7992, KerenhappuchH7163.
And in all the landH776 were no womenH802 foundH4672 so fairH3303 as the daughtersH1323 of JobH347: and their fatherH1 gaveH5414 them inheritanceH5159 amongH8432 their brethrenH251.
AfterH310 this livedH2421 JobH347 an hundredH3967 and fortyH705 yearsH8141, and sawH7200 his sonsH1121, and his sons'H1121 sonsH1121, even fourH702 generationsH1755.
So JobH347 diedH4191, being oldH2205 and fullH7649 of daysH3117.
AndG2532 he saidG2046 unto meG3427, MyG3450 graceG5485 is sufficientG714 for theeG4671: forG1063 myG3450 strengthG1411 is made perfectG5048 inG1722 weaknessG769. Most gladlyG2236 thereforeG3767 will IG2744 ratherG3123 gloryG2744 inG1722 myG3450 infirmitiesG769, thatG2443 the powerG1411 of ChristG5547 may restG1981 uponG1909 meG1691.
ThereforeG1352 I take pleasureG2106 inG1722 infirmitiesG769, inG1722 reproachesG5196, inG1722 necessitiesG318, inG1722 persecutionsG1375, inG1722 distressesG4730 forG5228 Christ'sG5547 sakeG5228: forG1063 whenG3752 I am weakG770, thenG5119 amG1510 I strongG1415.
AlwaysG3842 bearing aboutG4064 inG1722 the bodyG4983 the dyingG3500 of the LordG2962 JesusG2424, thatG2443 the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 might be made manifestG5319 inG1722 ourG2257 bodyG4983.
For weG2249 whichG3588 liveG2198 areG3860 alwayG104+G1063 deliveredG3860 untoG1519 deathG2288 forG1223 Jesus'G2424 sakeG1223, thatG2443 the lifeG2222 alsoG2532 of JesusG2424 might be made manifestG5319 inG1722 ourG2257 mortalG2349 fleshG4561.
