King James Version 1611 with Strong's numbers
Versliste
Then answeredH6030 EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and saidH559,
Should a wise manH2450 utterH6030 vainH7307 knowledgeH1847, and fillH4390 his bellyH990 with the east windH6921? {vain…: Heb. knowledge of wind}
Should he reasonH3198 with unprofitableH5532 talkH1697? or with speechesH4405 wherewith he can do no goodH3276?
Yea, thou castest offH6565 fearH3374, and restrainestH1639 prayerH7881 beforeH6440 GodH410. {castest…: Heb. makest void} {prayer: or, speech}
For thy mouthH6310 utterethH502 thine iniquityH5771, and thou choosestH977 the tongueH3956 of the craftyH6175. {uttereth: Heb. teacheth}
Thine own mouthH6310 condemnethH7561 thee, and not I: yea, thine own lipsH8193 testifyH6030 against thee.
Art thou the firstH7223+H7223 manH120 that was bornH3205? or wast thou madeH2342 beforeH6440 the hillsH1389?
Hast thou heardH8085 the secretH5475 of GodH433? and dost thou restrainH1639 wisdomH2451 to thyself?
What knowestH3045 thou, that we knowH3045 not? what understandestH995 thou, which is not in us?
With us are both the grayheadedH7867 and very agedH3453 men, muchH3524 elderH3117 than thy fatherH1.
Are the consolationsH8575 of GodH410 smallH4592 with thee? is there any secretH328 thingH1697 with thee?
Why doth thine heartH3820 carry thee awayH3947? and what do thy eyesH5869 wink atH7335,
That thou turnestH7725 thy spiritH7307 against GodH410, and lettest such wordsH4405 go outH3318 of thy mouthH6310?
What is manH582, that he should be cleanH2135? and he which is bornH3205 of a womanH802, that he should be righteousH6663?
Behold, he putteth no trustH539 in his saintsH6918; yea, the heavensH8064 are not cleanH2141 in his sightH5869.
How much more abominableH8581 and filthyH444 is manH376, which drinkethH8354 iniquityH5766+H5766 like waterH4325?
I will shewH2331 thee, hearH8085 me; and that which I have seenH2372 I will declareH5608;
Which wiseH2450 men have toldH5046 from their fathersH1, and have not hidH3582 it:
Unto whom alone the earthH776 was givenH5414, and no strangerH2114 passedH5674 amongH8432 them.
The wickedH7563 man travailethH2342 with pain all his daysH3117, and the numberH4557 of yearsH8141 is hiddenH6845 to the oppressorH6184.
A dreadfulH6343 soundH6963 is in his earsH241: in prosperityH7965 the destroyerH7703 shall comeH935 upon him. {A dreadful…: Heb. A sound of fears}
He believethH539 not that he shall returnH7725 out of darknessH2822, and he is waitedH6822 for of the swordH2719.
He wandereth abroadH5074 for breadH3899, saying, Where is it? he knowethH3045 that the dayH3117 of darknessH2822 is readyH3559 at his handH3027.
TroubleH6862 and anguishH4691 shall make him afraidH1204; they shall prevailH8630 against him, as a kingH4428 readyH6264 to the battleH3593.
For he stretcheth outH5186 his handH3027 against GodH410, and strengthenethH1396 himself against the AlmightyH7706.
He runnethH7323 upon him, even on his neckH6677, upon the thickH5672 bossesH1354 of his bucklersH4043:
Because he coverethH3680 his faceH6440 with his fatnessH2459, and makethH6213 collops of fatH6371 on his flanksH3689.
And he dwellethH7931 in desolateH3582 citiesH5892, and in housesH1004 which no man inhabitethH3427, which are readyH6257 to become heapsH1530.
He shall not be richH6238, neither shall his substanceH2428 continueH6965, neither shall he prolongH5186 the perfectionH4512 thereof upon the earthH776.
He shall not departH5493 out of darknessH2822; the flameH7957 shall dry upH3001 his branchesH3127, and by the breathH7307 of his mouthH6310 shall he go awayH5493.
Let not him that is deceivedH8582 trustH539 in vanityH7723: for vanityH7723 shall be his recompenceH8545.
It shall be accomplishedH4390 beforeH3808 his timeH3117, and his branchH3712 shall not be greenH7488. {accomplished: or, cut off}
He shall shake offH2554 his unripe grapeH1154 as the vineH1612, and shall cast offH7993 his flowerH5328 as the oliveH2132.
For the congregationH5712 of hypocritesH2611 shall be desolateH1565, and fireH784 shall consumeH398 the tabernaclesH168 of briberyH7810.
They conceiveH2029 mischiefH5999, and bring forthH3205 vanityH205, and their bellyH990 preparethH3559 deceitH4820. {vanity: or, iniquity}
A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732, to bring to remembranceH2142. O LORDH3068, rebukeH3198 me not in thy wrathH7110: neither chastenH3256 me in thy hot displeasureH2534.
For thine arrowsH2671 stick fastH5181 in me, and thy handH3027 presseth me soreH5181.
There is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320 becauseH6440 of thine angerH2195; neither is there any restH7965 in my bonesH6106 becauseH6440 of my sinH2403. {rest: Heb. peace, or, health}
For mine iniquitiesH5771 are gone overH5674 mine headH7218: as an heavyH3515 burdenH4853 they are too heavyH3513 for me.
My woundsH2250 stinkH887 and are corruptH4743 becauseH6440 of my foolishnessH200.
I am troubledH5753; I am bowed downH7817 greatlyH3966; I goH1980 mourningH6937 all the dayH3117 long. {troubled: Heb. wried}
For my loinsH3689 are filledH4390 with a loathsomeH7033 disease: and there is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320.
I am feebleH6313 and soreH3966 brokenH1794: I have roaredH7580 by reason of the disquietnessH5100 of my heartH3820.
LordH136, all my desireH8378 is before thee; and my groaningH585 is not hidH5641 from thee.
My heartH3820 pantethH5503, my strengthH3581 failethH5800 me: as for the lightH216 of mine eyesH5869, itH1992 also is goneH369 from me. {is gone…: Heb. is not with me}
My loversH157 and my friendsH7453 standH5975 aloof fromH5048 my soreH5061; and my kinsmenH7138 standH5975 afar offH7350. {sore: Heb. stroke} {my kinsmen: or, my neighbours}
They also that seekH1245 after my lifeH5315 lay snaresH5367 for me: and they that seekH1875 my hurtH7451 speakH1696 mischievous thingsH1942, and imagineH1897 deceitsH4820 all the dayH3117 long.
But I, as a deafH2795 man, heardH8085 not; and I was as a dumb manH483 that openethH6605 not his mouthH6310.
Thus I was as a manH376 that hearethH8085 not, and in whose mouthH6310 are no reproofsH8433.
For in thee, O LORDH3068, do I hopeH3176: thou wilt hearH6030, O LordH136 my GodH430. {in…: or, thee do I wait for} {hear: or, answer}
For I saidH559, Hear me, lest otherwise they should rejoiceH8055 over me: when my footH7272 slippethH4131, they magnifyH1431 themselves against me.
For I am readyH3559 to haltH6761, and my sorrowH4341 is continuallyH8548 before me. {to halt: Heb. for halting}
For I will declareH5046 mine iniquityH5771; I will be sorryH1672 for my sinH2403.
But mine enemiesH341 are livelyH2416, and they are strongH6105: and they that hateH8130 me wrongfullyH8267 are multipliedH7231. {are lively…: Heb. being living, are strong}
They also that renderH7999 evilH7451 for goodH2896 are mine adversariesH7853; because I followH7291 the thing that goodH2896 is.
ForsakeH5800 me not, O LORDH3068: O my GodH430, be not farH7368 from me.
Make hasteH2363 to helpH5833 me, O LordH136 my salvationH8668. {to…: Heb. for my help}
To the chief MusicianH5329, even to JeduthunH3038, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. I saidH559, I will take heedH8104 to my waysH1870, that I sinH2398 not with my tongueH3956: I will keepH8104 my mouthH6310 with a bridleH4269, while the wickedH7563 is before me. {my mouth…: Heb. a bridle, or, muzzle for my mouth}
I was dumbH481 with silenceH1747, I held my peaceH2814, even from goodH2896; and my sorrowH3511 was stirredH5916. {stirred: Heb. troubled}
My heartH3820 was hotH2552 withinH7130 me, while I was musingH1901 the fireH784 burnedH1197: thenH227 spakeH1696 I with my tongueH3956,
LORDH3068, make me to knowH3045 mine endH7093, and the measureH4060 of my daysH3117, what it is; that I may knowH3045 how frailH2310 I am. {how…: or, what time I have here}
Behold, thou hast madeH5414 my daysH3117 as an handbreadthH2947; and mine ageH2465 is as nothing before thee: verily everyH3605 manH120 at his best stateH5324 is altogetherH3605 vanityH1892. SelahH5542. {at…: Heb. settled}
Surely every manH376 walkethH1980 in a vain shewH6754: surely they are disquietedH1993 in vainH1892: he heapeth upH6651 riches, and knowethH3045 not who shall gatherH622 them. {a vain…: Heb. an image}
And now, LordH136, what waitH6960 I for? my hopeH8431 is in thee.
DeliverH5337 me from all my transgressionsH6588: makeH7760 me not the reproachH2781 of the foolishH5036.
I was dumbH481, I openedH6605 not my mouthH6310; because thou didstH6213 it.
RemoveH5493 thy strokeH5061 awayH5493 from me: I am consumedH3615 by the blowH8409 of thine handH3027. {blow: Heb. conflict}
When thou with rebukesH8433 dost correctH3256 manH376 for iniquityH5771, thou makest his beautyH2530 to consume awayH4529 like a mothH6211: surely every manH120 is vanityH1892. SelahH5542. {his…: Heb. that which is to be desired in him to melt away}
HearH8085 my prayerH8605, O LORDH3068, and give earH238 unto my cryH7775; hold not thy peaceH2790 at my tearsH1832: for I am a strangerH1616 with thee, and a sojournerH8453, as all my fathersH1 were.
O spareH8159 me, that I may recover strengthH1082, before I go henceH3212, and be no more.
