Then EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
If we assayH5254 to communeH1697 with thee, wilt thou be grievedH3811? but who canH3201 withholdH6113 himself from speakingH4405? {to…: Heb. a word} {withhold…: Heb. refrain from words?}
Behold, thou hast instructedH3256 manyH7227, and thou hast strengthenedH2388 the weakH7504 handsH3027.
Thy wordsH4405 have upholdenH6965 him that was fallingH3782, and thou hast strengthenedH553 the feebleH3766 kneesH1290.
But now it is comeH935 upon thee, and thou faintestH3811; it touchethH5060 thee, and thou art troubledH926.
Behold, thou hast instructedH3256 manyH7227, and thou hast strengthenedH2388 the weakH7504 handsH3027.
Thy wordsH4405 have upholdenH6965 him that was fallingH3782, and thou hast strengthenedH553 the feebleH3766 kneesH1290.
The LordH136 GODH3069 hath givenH5414 me the tongueH3956 of the learnedH3928, that I should knowH3045 how to speakH5790 a wordH1697 in season to him that is wearyH3287: he wakenethH5782 morningH1242 by morningH1242, he wakenethH5782 mine earH241 to hearH8085 as the learnedH3928.
A manH376 hath joyH8057 by the answerH4617 of his mouthH6310: and a wordH1697 spoken in due seasonH6256, how goodH2896 is it! {due…: Heb. his season}
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 SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, Doth JobH347 fearH3372 GodH430 for noughtH2600?
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.
Then EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
If we assayH5254 to communeH1697 with thee, wilt thou be grievedH3811? but who canH3201 withholdH6113 himself from speakingH4405? {to…: Heb. a word} {withhold…: Heb. refrain from words?}
Behold, thou hast instructedH3256 manyH7227, and thou hast strengthenedH2388 the weakH7504 handsH3027.
Thy wordsH4405 have upholdenH6965 him that was fallingH3782, and thou hast strengthenedH553 the feebleH3766 kneesH1290.
But now it is comeH935 upon thee, and thou faintestH3811; it touchethH5060 thee, and thou art troubledH926.
Is not this thy fearH3374, thy confidenceH3690, thy hopeH8615, and the uprightnessH8537 of thy waysH1870?
RememberH2142, I pray thee, who ever perishedH6, being innocentH5355? or whereH375 were the righteousH3477 cut offH3582?
Even as I have seenH7200, they that plowH2790 iniquityH205, and sowH2232 wickednessH5999, reapH7114 the same.
By the blastH5397 of GodH433 they perishH6, and by the breathH7307 of his nostrilsH639 are they consumedH3615. {by the breath…: that is, by his anger}
The roaringH7581 of the lionH738, and the voiceH6963 of the fierce lionH7826, and the teethH8127 of the young lionsH3715, are brokenH5421.
The old lionH3918 perishethH6 for lackH1097 of preyH2964, and the stout lion'sH3833 whelpsH1121 are scattered abroadH6504.
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.
CallH7121 now, if there beH3426 any that will answerH6030 thee; and to which of the saintsH6918 wilt thou turnH6437? {turn: or, look?}
For wrathH3708 killethH2026 the foolish manH191, and envyH7068 slayethH4191 the silly oneH6601. {envy: or, indignation}
I have seenH7200 the foolishH191 taking rootH8327: but suddenlyH6597 I cursedH5344 his habitationH5116.
His childrenH1121 are farH7368 from safetyH3468, and they are crushedH1792 in the gateH8179, neither is there any to deliverH5337 them.
Whose harvestH7105 the hungryH7457 eateth upH398, and takethH3947 it even outH413 of the thornsH6791, and the robberH6782 swalloweth upH7602 their substanceH2428.
Although afflictionH205 cometh not forthH3318 of the dustH6083, neither doth troubleH5999 spring outH6779 of the groundH127; {affliction: or, iniquity}
Yet manH120 is bornH3205 unto troubleH5999, as the sparksH1121+H7565 flyH5774 upwardH1361. {trouble: or, labour} {sparks…: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly}
I would seekH199+H1875 unto GodH410, and unto GodH430 would I commitH7760 my causeH1700:
Which doethH6213 great thingsH1419 and unsearchableH369+H2714; marvellous thingsH6381 without numberH4557: {unsearchable: Heb. there is no search} {without…: Heb. till there be no number}
Who givethH5414 rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH776, and sendethH7971 watersH4325 uponH6440 the fieldsH2351: {fields: Heb. outplaces}
To set upH7760 on highH4791 those that be lowH8217; that those which mournH6937 may be exaltedH7682 to safetyH3468.
He disappointethH6565 the devicesH4284 of the craftyH6175, so that their handsH3027 cannot performH6213 their enterpriseH8454. {their enterprise: or, any thing}
He takethH3920 the wiseH2450 in their own craftinessH6193: and the counselH6098 of the frowardH6617 is carried headlongH4116.
They meetH6298 with darknessH2822 in the daytimeH3119, and gropeH4959 in the noondayH6672 as in the nightH3915. {meet…: or, run into}
But he savethH3467 the poorH34 from the swordH2719, from their mouthH6310, and from the handH3027 of the mightyH2389.
So the poorH1800 hath hopeH8615, and iniquityH5766 stoppethH7092 her mouthH6310.
Behold, happyH835 is the manH582 whom GodH433 correctethH3198: therefore despiseH3988 not thou the chasteningH4148 of the AlmightyH7706:
For he maketh soreH3510, and bindeth upH2280: he woundethH4272, and his handsH3027 make wholeH7495.
He shall deliverH5337 thee in sixH8337 troublesH6869: yea, in sevenH7651 there shall no evilH7451 touchH5060 thee.
In famineH7458 he shall redeemH6299 thee from deathH4194: and in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719. {power: Heb. hands}
Thou shalt be hidH2244 from the scourgeH7752 of the tongueH3956: neither shalt thou be afraidH3372 of destructionH7701 when it comethH935. {from…: or, when the tongue scourgeth}
At destructionH7701 and famineH3720 thou shalt laughH7832: neither shalt thou be afraidH3372 of the beastsH2416 of the earthH776.
For thou shalt be in leagueH1285 with the stonesH68 of the fieldH7704: and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall be at peaceH7999 with thee.
And thou shalt knowH3045 that thy tabernacleH168 shall be in peaceH7965; and thou shalt visitH6485 thy habitationH5116, and shalt not sinH2398. {thy tabernacle…: or, peace is thy tabernacle} {sin: or, err}
Thou shalt knowH3045 also that thy seedH2233 shall be greatH7227, and thine offspringH6631 as the grassH6212 of the earthH776. {great: or, much}
Thou shalt comeH935 to thy graveH6913 in a full ageH3624, like as a shock of cornH1430 cometh inH5927 in his seasonH6256. {cometh in: Heb. ascendeth}
Lo this, we have searchedH2713 it, so it is; hearH8085 it, and knowH3045 thou it for thy good. {for…: Heb. for thyself}
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.
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.
AndG2532 he saidG2036 untoG4314 themG846, Ye willG2046 surelyG3843 sayG2046 unto meG3427 thisG5026 proverbG3850, PhysicianG2395, healG2323 thyselfG4572: whatsoeverG3745 we have heardG191 doneG1096 inG1722 CapernaumG2584, doG4160 alsoG2532 hereG5602 inG1722 thyG4675 countryG3968.
Wherefore is lightH216 givenH5414 to him that is in miseryH6001, and lifeH2416 unto the bitterH4751 in soulH5315;
Why is light given to a manH1397 whose wayH1870 is hidH5641, and whom GodH433 hath hedged inH5526?
Thou thereforeG3767 whichG3588 teachestG1321 anotherG2087, teachest thouG1321 notG3756 thyselfG4572? thou that preachestG2784 a man shouldG2813 notG3361 stealG2813, dost thou stealG2813?
RejoiceG5463 withG3326 them that do rejoiceG5463, andG2532 weepG2799 withG3326 them that weepG2799.
WhereforeG1352 lift upG461 the handsG5495 which hang downG3935, andG2532 the feebleG3886 kneesG1119;
AndG2532 makeG4160 straightG3717 pathsG5163 for yourG5216 feetG4228, lest thatG3363 which is lameG5560 be turned out of the wayG1624; butG1161 let itG2390 ratherG3123 be healedG2390. {straight: or, even}
