Though these threeH7969 menH582, NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, they should deliverH5337 but their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069.
Though NoahH5146, DanielH1840, and JobH347, were in itH8432, as I liveH2416, saithH5002 the LordH136 GODH3069, they shall deliverH5337 neither sonH1121 norH518 daughterH1323; they shall but deliverH5337 their own soulsH5315 by their righteousnessH6666.

There was a manH376 in the landH776 of UzH5780, whose nameH8034 was JobH347; and that manH376 was perfectH8535 and uprightH3477, and one that fearedH3373 GodH430, and eschewedH5493 evilH7451.

And ObalH5745, and AbimaelH39, and ShebaH7614,

Now when Job'sH347 threeH7969 friendsH7453 heardH8085 of all this evilH7451 that was comeH935 upon him, they cameH935 every oneH376 from his own placeH4725; EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284: for they had made an appointmentH3259 togetherH3162 to comeH935 to mournH5110 with him and to comfortH5162 him.
These were dukesH441 of the sonsH1121 of EsauH6215: the sonsH1121 of EliphazH464 the firstbornH1060 son of EsauH6215; dukeH441 TemanH8487, dukeH441 OmarH201, dukeH441 ZephoH6825, dukeH441 KenazH7073,
Now when Job'sH347 threeH7969 friendsH7453 heardH8085 of all this evilH7451 that was comeH935 upon him, they cameH935 every oneH376 from his own placeH4725; EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284: for they had made an appointmentH3259 togetherH3162 to comeH935 to mournH5110 with him and to comfortH5162 him.

And AbramH87 was veryH3966 richH3513 in cattleH4735, in silverH3701, and in goldH2091.
AfterH310 this livedH2421 JobH347 an hundredH3967 and fortyH705 yearsH8141, and sawH7200 his sonsH1121, and his sons'H1121 sonsH1121, even fourH702 generationsH1755.
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.
That they were gravenH2672 with an ironH1270 penH5842 and leadH5777 in the rockH6697 for everH5703!
And he shewedH7200 me JoshuaH3091 the highH1419 priestH3548 standingH5975 beforeH6440 the angelH4397 of the LORDH3068, and SatanH7854 standingH5975 at his right handH3225 to resistH7853 him. {Satan: that is, an adversary} {to…: Heb. to be his adversary}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, The LORDH3068 rebukeH1605 thee, O SatanH7854; even the LORDH3068 that hath chosenH977 JerusalemH3389 rebukeH1605 thee: is not this a brandH181 pluckedH5337 out of the fireH784?
And SatanH7854 stood upH5975 against IsraelH3478, and provokedH5496 DavidH1732 to numberH4487 IsraelH3478.
There was a manH376 in the landH776 of UzH5780, whose nameH8034 was JobH347; and that manH376 was perfectH8535 and uprightH3477, and one that fearedH3373 GodH430, and eschewedH5493 evilH7451.
And there were bornH3205 unto him sevenH7651 sonsH1121 and threeH7969 daughtersH1323.
His substanceH4735 also was sevenH7651 thousandH505 sheepH6629, and threeH7969 thousandH505 camelsH1581, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 yokeH6776 of oxenH1241, and fiveH2568 hundredH3967 she assesH860, and a veryH3966 greatH7227 householdH5657; so that this manH376 was the greatestH1419 of all the menH1121 of the eastH6924. {substance: or, cattle} {household: or, husbandry} {men: Heb. sons}
And his sonsH1121 wentH1980 and feastedH4960+H6213 in their housesH1004, every oneH376 his dayH3117; and sentH7971 and calledH7121 for their threeH7969 sistersH269 to eatH398 and to drinkH8354 with them.
And it was so, when the daysH3117 of their feastingH4960 were gone aboutH5362, that JobH347 sentH7971 and sanctifiedH6942 them, and rose up earlyH7925 in the morningH1242, and offeredH5927 burnt offeringsH5930 according to the numberH4557 of them all: for JobH347 saidH559, It may beH194 that my sonsH1121 have sinnedH2398, and cursedH1288 GodH430 in their heartsH3824. Thus didH6213 JobH347 continuallyH3117. {continually: Heb. all the days}
Now there was a dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves before the LORDH3068, and SatanH7854 cameH935 also amongH8432 them. {Satan: Heb. the adversary} {among: Heb. in the midst of}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, WhenceH370 comestH935 thou? Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, From going to and froH7751 in the earthH776, and from walking up and downH1980 in it.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Hast thou consideredH7760+H3820 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and eschewethH5493 evilH7451? {considered: Heb. set thy heart on}
Then SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, Doth JobH347 fearH3372 GodH430 for noughtH2600?
Hast not thou made an hedgeH7753 about him, and aboutH1157 his houseH1004, and about all that he hath on every sideH5439? thou hast blessedH1288 the workH4639 of his handsH3027, and his substanceH4735 is increasedH6555 in the landH776. {substance: or, cattle}
ButH199 put forthH7971 thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060 all that he hath, and he will curseH1288+H3808 thee to thy faceH6440. {and he…: Heb. if he curse thee not to thy face}
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Behold, all that he hath is in thy powerH3027; only upon himself put not forthH7971 thine handH3027. So SatanH7854 went forthH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068. {power: Heb. hand}
And there was a dayH3117 when his sonsH1121 and his daughtersH1323 were eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 wineH3196 in their eldestH1060 brother'sH251 houseH1004:
And there cameH935 a messengerH4397 unto JobH347, and saidH559, The oxenH1241 were plowingH2790, and the assesH860 feedingH7462 besideH3027 them:
And the SabeansH7614 fellH5307 upon them, and took them awayH3947; yea, they have slainH5221 the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee.
While he was yet speakingH1696, there cameH935 also another, and saidH559, The fireH784 of GodH430 is fallenH5307 from heavenH8064, and hath burned upH1197 the sheepH6629, and the servantsH5288, and consumedH398 them; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee. {The fire…: or, A great fire}
While he was yet speakingH1696, there cameH935 also another, and saidH559, The ChaldeansH3778 made outH7760 threeH7969 bandsH7218, and fellH6584 upon the camelsH1581, and have carried them awayH3947, yea, and slainH5221 the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee. {fell: Heb. rushed}
While he was yet speakingH1696, there cameH935 also another, and saidH559, Thy sonsH1121 and thy daughtersH1323 were eatingH398 and drinkingH8354 wineH3196 in their eldestH1060 brother'sH251 houseH1004:
And, behold, there cameH935 a greatH1419 windH7307 fromH5676 the wildernessH4057, and smoteH5060 the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the houseH1004, and it fellH5307 upon the young menH5288, and they are deadH4191; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee. {from…: Heb. from aside, etc}
Then JobH347 aroseH6965, and rentH7167 his mantleH4598, and shavedH1494 his headH7218, and fell downH5307 upon the groundH776, and worshippedH7812, {mantle: or, robe}
And saidH559, NakedH6174 came I outH3318 of my mother'sH517 wombH990, and nakedH6174 shall I returnH7725 thither: the LORDH3068 gaveH5414, and the LORDH3068 hath taken awayH3947; blessedH1288 be the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068.
In all this JobH347 sinnedH2398 not, nor chargedH5414 GodH430 foolishlyH8604. {charged…: or, attributed folly to God}
Again there was a dayH3117 when the sonsH1121 of GodH430 cameH935 to presentH3320 themselves before the LORDH3068, and SatanH7854 cameH935 also amongH8432 them to presentH3320 himself before the LORDH3068.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, From whenceH335 comestH935 thou? And SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, From going to and froH7751 in the earthH776, and from walking up and downH1980 in it.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Hast thouH7760 consideredH3820 my servantH5650 JobH347, that there is none like him in the earthH776, a perfectH8535 and an uprightH3477 manH376, one that fearethH3373 GodH430, and eschewethH5493 evilH7451? and still he holdeth fastH2388 his integrityH8538, although thou movedstH5496 me against him, to destroyH1104 him without causeH2600. {to destroy…: Heb. to swallow him up}
And SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, SkinH5785 for skinH5785, yea, all that a manH376 hath will he giveH5414 for his lifeH5315.
ButH199 put forthH7971 thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060 his boneH6106 and his fleshH1320, and he will curseH1288 thee to thy faceH6440.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Behold, he is in thine handH3027; but saveH8104 his lifeH5315. {but: or, only}
So wentH3318 SatanH7854 forthH3318 from the presenceH6440 of the LORDH3068, and smoteH5221 JobH347 with soreH7451 boilsH7822 from the soleH3709 of his footH7272 unto his crownH6936.
And he tookH3947 him a potsherdH2789 to scrapeH1623 himself withal; and he sat downH3427 amongH8432 the ashesH665.
Then saidH559 his wifeH802 unto him, Dost thou still retainH2388 thine integrityH8538? curseH1288 GodH430, and dieH4191.
But he saidH559 unto her, Thou speakestH1696 as oneH259 of the foolish womenH5036 speakethH1696. WhatH1571? shall we receiveH6901 goodH2896 at the hand of GodH430, and shall we not receiveH6901 evilH7451? In all this did not JobH347 sinH2398 with his lipsH8193.
Now when Job'sH347 threeH7969 friendsH7453 heardH8085 of all this evilH7451 that was comeH935 upon him, they cameH935 every oneH376 from his own placeH4725; EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284: for they had made an appointmentH3259 togetherH3162 to comeH935 to mournH5110 with him and to comfortH5162 him.
And when they lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869 afar offH7350, and knewH5234 him not, they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058; and they rentH7167 every oneH376 his mantleH4598, and sprinkledH2236 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218 toward heavenH8064.
So they sat downH3427 with him upon the groundH776 sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 nightsH3915, and none spakeH1696 a wordH1697 unto him: for they sawH7200 that his griefH3511 was veryH3966 greatH1431.
Then JobH347 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559,
Behold, I am vileH7043; what shall I answerH7725 thee? I will layH7760 mine handH3027 uponH3926 my mouthH6310.
OnceH259 have I spokenH1696; but I will not answerH6030: yea, twiceH8147; but I will proceed no furtherH3254.
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.
For he is not a manH376, as I am, that I should answerH6030 him, and we should comeH935 togetherH3162 in judgmentH4941.
Neither isH3426 there any daysmanH3198 betwixt us, that might layH7896 his handH3027 upon us bothH8147. {any…: Heb. one that should argue} {daysman: or, umpire}
If thereH3426 be a messengerH4397 with him, an interpreterH3887, oneH259 among a thousandH505, to shewH5046 unto manH120 his uprightnessH3476:
For I knowH3045 that my redeemerH1350 livethH2416, and that he shall standH6965 at the latterH314 day upon the earthH6083:
Then he is graciousH2603 unto him, and saithH559, DeliverH6308 him from going downH3381 to the pitH7845: I have foundH4672 a ransomH3724. {a ransom: or, an atonement}
Who knowethH3045 not in all these that the handH3027 of the LORDH3068 hath wroughtH6213 this?
Now a thingH1697 was secretly broughtH1589 to me, and mine earH241 receivedH3947 a littleH8102 thereof. {secretly: Heb. by stealth}
In thoughtsH5587 from the visionsH2384 of the nightH3915, when deep sleepH8639 fallethH5307 on menH582,
FearH6343 cameH7122 upon me, and tremblingH7461, which made allH7230 my bonesH6106 to shakeH6342. {came…: Heb. met} {all: Heb. the multitude of}
Then a spiritH7307 passedH2498 before my faceH6440; the hairH8185 of my fleshH1320 stood upH5568:
It stood stillH5975, but I could not discernH5234 the formH4758 thereof: an imageH8544 was before mine eyesH5869, there was silenceH1827, and I heardH8085 a voiceH6963, saying, {there…: or, I heard a still voice}
Shall mortal manH582 be more justH6663 than GodH433? shall a manH1397 be more pureH2891 than his makerH6213?
Behold, he put no trustH539 in his servantsH5650; and his angelsH4397 he chargedH7760 with follyH8417: {and his…: or, nor in his angels, in whom he put light}
How much lessH637 in them that dwellH7931 in housesH1004 of clayH2563, whose foundationH3247 is in the dustH6083, which are crushedH1792 beforeH6440 the mothH6211?
They are destroyedH3807 from morningH1242 to eveningH6153: they perishH6 for everH5331 without any regardingH7760 it. {destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}
Doth not their excellencyH3499 which is in them go awayH5265? they dieH4191, even without wisdomH2451.
For enquireH7592, I pray thee, of the formerH7223+H7223 ageH1755, and prepareH3559 thyself to the searchH2714 of their fathersH1:
(For we are but of yesterdayH8543, and knowH3045 nothing, because our daysH3117 upon earthH776 are a shadowH6738:) {nothing: Heb. not}
Shall not they teachH3384 thee, and tellH559 thee, and utterH3318 wordsH4405 out of their heartH3820?
