Job 1
[1] There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.
Job 1
[4] And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them. [5] And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
Job 1
[6] Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
[7] And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
[8] And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Job 1
[9] Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?
[10] Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.
[11] But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.
[12] And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
Job 1
[13] And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
[14] And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
[15] And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
[16] While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
[17] While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
[18] While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
[19] And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
[20] Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
[21] And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; blessed be the name of the LORD.
[22] In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
Job 2
[1] Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
[2] And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.
[3] And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.
[4] And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
[5] But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
[6] And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but save his life.
[7] So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.
[8] And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he sat down among the ashes.
[9] Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? curse God, and die.
[10] But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
Job 4
[7] Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?
Job 4
[8] Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.
[9] By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.
Job 5
[2] For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.
Job 5
[3] I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.
[4] His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
[5] Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
Job 5
[11] To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn may be exalted to safety.
Job 5
[12] He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.
Job 5
[13] He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of the froward is carried headlong.
[14] They meet with darkness in the daytime, and grope in the noonday as in the night.
Job 5
[15] But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.
[16] So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
Job 5
[17] Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
[18] For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.
[19] He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
[20] In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the power of the sword.
[21] Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
[22] At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
[23] For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
[24] And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
[25] Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
[26] Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of corn cometh in in his season.
[27] Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou it for thy good.
Job 8
[3] Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
Job 8
[5] If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
[6] If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
[7] Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
Job 8
[11] Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
[12] Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
[13] So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
[14] Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
[15] He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
[16] He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
[17] His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
[18] If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
[19] Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
Job 8
[20] Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
Job 9
[24] The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
Job 11
[13] If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands toward him;
[14] If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
[15] For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
[16] Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as waters that pass away:
[17] And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday; thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
[18] And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
[19] Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
Job 11
[20] But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as the giving up of the ghost.
Job 13
[10] He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
Job 15
[20] The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
[21] A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
[22] He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
[23] He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
[24] Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
[25] For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
[26] He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
[27] Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
[28] And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
[29] He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
[30] He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
[31] Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompence.
[32] It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
[33] He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
Job 15
[34] For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
[35] They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
Job 17
[4] For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
Job 17
[5] He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
Job 17
[9] The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
Job 22
[5] Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
[6] For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
[7] Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
[8] But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.
[9] Thou has sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.
[10] Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;
[11] Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.
Job 22
[15] Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
[16] Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:
[17] Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?
[18] Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
[19] The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.
Job 22
[21] Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.
[22] Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.
[23] If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
[24] Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.
[25] Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.
[26] For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.
[27] Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.
[28] Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
[29] When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.
[30] He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness o
