+Book 18        Job
+
+18:001:001 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.
+
+18:001:002 And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
+
+18:001:003 His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three
+           thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five
+           hundred she asses, and a very great household; so that this
+           man was the greatest of all the men of the east.
+
+18:001:004 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.
+
+18:001:005 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.
+
+18:001:006 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present
+           themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
+
+18:001:007 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.
+
+18:001:008 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?
+
+18:001:009 Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God for
+           nought?
+
+18:001:010 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.
+
+18:001:011 But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and
+           he will curse thee to thy face.
+
+18:001:012 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.
+
+18:001:013 And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were
+           eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:
+
+18:001:014 And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were
+           plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:
+
+18:001:015 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.
+
+18:001:016 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.
+
+18:001:017 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.
+
+18:001:018 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:
+
+18:001:019 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.
+
+18:001:020 Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and
+           fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,
+
+18:001:021 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.
+
+18:001:022 In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.
+
+18:002:001 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.
+
+18:002:002 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.
+
+18:002:003 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.
+
+18:002:004 And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all
+           that a man hath will he give for his life.
+
+18:002:005 But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his
+           flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.
+
+18:002:006 And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand; but
+           save his life.
+
+18:002:007 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.
+
+18:002:008 And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he
+           sat down among the ashes.
+
+18:002:009 Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine
+           integrity? curse God, and die.
+
+18:002:010 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.
+
+18:002:011 Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was
+           come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz
+           the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the
+           Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come
+           to mourn with him and to comfort him.
+
+18:002:012 And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not,
+           they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one
+           his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
+
+18:002:013 So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven
+           nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his
+           grief was very great.
+
+18:003:001 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
+
+18:003:002 And Job spake, and said,
+
+18:003:003 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which
+           it was said, There is a man child conceived.
+
+18:003:004 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above,
+           neither let the light shine upon it.
+
+18:003:005 Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud
+           dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.
+
+18:003:006 As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be
+           joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the
+           number of the months.
+
+18:003:007 Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come
+           therein.
+
+18:003:008 Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise
+           up their mourning.
+
+18:003:009 Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for
+           light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the
+           day:
+
+18:003:010 Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hid
+           sorrow from mine eyes.
+
+18:003:011 Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost
+           when I came out of the belly?
+
+18:003:012 Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I should
+           suck?
+
+18:003:013 For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have
+           slept: then had I been at rest,
+
+18:003:014 With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build desolate
+           places for themselves;
+
+18:003:015 Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with
+           silver:
+
+18:003:016 Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants
+           which never saw light.
+
+18:003:017 There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be
+           at rest.
+
+18:003:018 There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice of
+           the oppressor.
+
+18:003:019 The small and great are there; and the servant is free from
+           his master.
+
+18:003:020 Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life
+           unto the bitter in soul;
+
+18:003:021 Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more
+           than for hid treasures;
+
+18:003:022 Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find
+           the grave?
+
+18:003:023 Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God
+           hath hedged in?
+
+18:003:024 For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are poured
+           out like the waters.
+
+18:003:025 For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that
+           which I was afraid of is come unto me.
+
+18:003:026 I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I quiet;
+           yet trouble came.
+
+18:004:001 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
+
+18:004:002 If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but
+           who can withhold himself from speaking?
+
+18:004:003 Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened
+           the weak hands.
+
+18:004:004 Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast
+           strengthened the feeble knees.
+
+18:004:005 But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth
+           thee, and thou art troubled.
+
+18:004:006 Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the
+           uprightness of thy ways?
+
+18:004:007 Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or
+           where were the righteous cut off?
+
+18:004:008 Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow
+           wickedness, reap the same.
+
+18:004:009 By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his
+           nostrils are they consumed.
+
+18:004:010 The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and
+           the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
+
+18:004:011 The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion's
+           whelps are scattered abroad.
+
+18:004:012 Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received
+           a little thereof.
+
+18:004:013 In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep
+           falleth on men,
+
+18:004:014 Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to
+           shake.
+
+18:004:015 Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh
+           stood up:
+
+18:004:016 It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an
+           image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a
+           voice, saying,
+
+18:004:017 Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more
+           pure than his maker?
+
+18:004:018 Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he
+           charged with folly:
+
+18:004:019 How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose
+           foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?
+
+18:004:020 They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for
+           ever without any regarding it.
+
+18:004:021 Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they die,
+           even without wisdom.
+
+18:005:001 Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which
+           of the saints wilt thou turn?
+
+18:005:002 For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly
+           one.
+
+18:005:003 I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his
+           habitation.
+
+18:005:004 His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the
+           gate, neither is there any to deliver them.
+
+18:005:005 Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of
+           the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.
+
+18:005:006 Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither doth
+           trouble spring out of the ground;
+
+18:005:007 Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.
+
+18:005:008 I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:
+
+18:005:009 Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things
+           without number:
+
+18:005:010 Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the
+           fields:
+
+18:005:011 To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn
+           may be exalted to safety.
+
+18:005:012 He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their
+           hands cannot perform their enterprise.
+
+18:005:013 He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel of
+           the froward is carried headlong.
+
+18:005:014 They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the
+           noonday as in the night.
+
+18:005:015 But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and
+           from the hand of the mighty.
+
+18:005:016 So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
+
+18:005:017 Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore
+           despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:
+
+18:005:018 For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands
+           make whole.
+
+18:005:019 He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there
+           shall no evil touch thee.
+
+18:005:020 In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from the
+           power of the sword.
+
+18:005:021 Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither
+           shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
+
+18:005:022 At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt thou
+           be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
+
+18:005:023 For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field: and
+           the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.
+
+18:005:024 And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace; and
+           thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.
+
+18:005:025 Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine
+           offspring as the grass of the earth.
+
+18:005:026 Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock of
+           corn cometh in in his season.
+
+18:005:027 Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know thou
+           it for thy good.
+
+18:006:001 But Job answered and said,
+
+18:006:002 Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid
+           in the balances together!
+
+18:006:003 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea:
+           therefore my words are swallowed up.
+
+18:006:004 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison
+           whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set
+           themselves in array against me.
+
+18:006:005 Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox
+           over his fodder?
+
+18:006:006 Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there
+           any taste in the white of an egg?
+
+18:006:007 The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful
+           meat.
+
+18:006:008 Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me
+           the thing that I long for!
+
+18:006:009 Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let
+           loose his hand, and cut me off!
+
+18:006:010 Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in
+           sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words
+           of the Holy One.
+
+18:006:011 What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine end,
+           that I should prolong my life?
+
+18:006:012 Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of
+           brass?
+
+18:006:013 Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?
+
+18:006:014 To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his
+           friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.
+
+18:006:015 My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the
+           stream of brooks they pass away;
+
+18:006:016 Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the snow
+           is hid:
+
+18:006:017 What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are
+           consumed out of their place.
+
+18:006:018 The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing,
+           and perish.
+
+18:006:019 The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for
+           them.
+
+18:006:020 They were confounded because they had hoped; they came
+           thither, and were ashamed.
+
+18:006:021 For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are
+           afraid.
+
+18:006:022 Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your
+           substance?
+
+18:006:023 Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the
+           hand of the mighty?
+
+18:006:024 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to
+           understand wherein I have erred.
+
+18:006:025 How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing
+           reprove?
+
+18:006:026 Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that
+           is desperate, which are as wind?
+
+18:006:027 Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your
+           friend.
+
+18:006:028 Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto
+           you if I lie.
+
+18:006:029 Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again,
+           my righteousness is in it.
+
+18:006:030 Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern
+           perverse things?
+
+18:007:001 Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his
+           days also like the days of an hireling?
+
+18:007:002 As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an hireling
+           looketh for the reward of his work:
+
+18:007:003 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome nights
+           are appointed to me.
+
+18:007:004 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be
+           gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of
+           the day.
+
+18:007:005 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is
+           broken, and become loathsome.
+
+18:007:006 My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent
+           without hope.
+
+18:007:007 O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see
+           good.
+
+18:007:008 The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine
+           eyes are upon me, and I am not.
+
+18:007:009 As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth
+           down to the grave shall come up no more.
+
+18:007:010 He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his place
+           know him any more.
+
+18:007:011 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the
+           anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my
+           soul.
+
+18:007:012 Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?
+
+18:007:013 When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my
+           complaints;
+
+18:007:014 Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through
+           visions:
+
+18:007:015 So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than my
+           life.
+
+18:007:016 I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days
+           are vanity.
+
+18:007:017 What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou
+           shouldest set thine heart upon him?
+
+18:007:018 And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him
+           every moment?
+
+18:007:019 How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till I
+           swallow down my spittle?
+
+18:007:020 I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver of
+           men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am
+           a burden to myself?
+
+18:007:021 And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away
+           my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt
+           seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.
+
+18:008:001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
+
+18:008:002 How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the
+           words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
+
+18:008:003 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert
+           justice?
+
+18:008:004 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them
+           away for their transgression;
+
+18:008:005 If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy
+           supplication to the Almighty;
+
+18:008:006 If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for
+           thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
+
+18:008:007 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should
+           greatly increase.
+
+18:008:008 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare
+           thyself to the search of their fathers:
+
+18:008:009 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our
+           days upon earth are a shadow:)
+
+18:008:010 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out
+           of their heart?
+
+18:008:011 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without
+           water?
+
+18:008:012 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it
+           withereth before any other herb.
+
+18:008:013 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's
+           hope shall perish:
+
+18:008:014 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a
+           spider's web.
+
+18:008:015 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall
+           hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
+
+18:008:016 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in
+           his garden.
+
+18:008:017 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of
+           stones.
+
+18:008:018 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him,
+           saying, I have not seen thee.
+
+18:008:019 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall
+           others grow.
+
+18:008:020 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he
+           help the evil doers:
+
+18:008:021 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with
+           rejoicing.
+
+18:008:022 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the
+           dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
+
+18:009:001 Then Job answered and said,
+
+18:009:002 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with
+           God?
+
+18:009:003 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a
+           thousand.
+
+18:009:004 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened
+           himself against him, and hath prospered?
+
+18:009:005 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which
+           overturneth them in his anger.
+
+18:009:006 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars
+           thereof tremble.
+
+18:009:007 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up
+           the stars.
+
+18:009:008 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the
+           waves of the sea.
+
+18:009:009 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers
+           of the south.
+
+18:009:010 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders
+           without number.
+
+18:009:011 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but
+           I perceive him not.
+
+18:009:012 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto
+           him, What doest thou?
+
+18:009:013 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop
+           under him.
+
+18:009:014 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to
+           reason with him?
+
+18:009:015 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I
+           would make supplication to my judge.
+
+18:009:016 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not
+           believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
+
+18:009:017 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds
+           without cause.
+
+18:009:018 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with
+           bitterness.
+
+18:009:019 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment,
+           who shall set me a time to plead?
+
+18:009:020 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I
+           say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
+
+18:009:021 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would
+           despise my life.
+
+18:009:022 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the
+           perfect and the wicked.
+
+18:009:023 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of
+           the innocent.
+
+18:009:024 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?
+
+18:009:025 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see
+           no good.
+
+18:009:026 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that
+           hasteth to the prey.
+
+18:009:027 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my
+           heaviness, and comfort myself:
+
+18:009:028 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold
+           me innocent.
+
+18:009:029 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
+
+18:009:030 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so
+           clean;
+
+18:009:031 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes
+           shall abhor me.
+
+18:009:032 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we
+           should come together in judgment.
+
+18:009:033 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his
+           hand upon us both.
+
+18:009:034 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear
+           terrify me:
+
+18:009:035 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with
+           me.
+
+18:010:001 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon
+           myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
+
+18:010:002 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou
+           contendest with me.
+
+18:010:003 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou
+           shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the
+           counsel of the wicked?
+
+18:010:004 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
+
+18:010:005 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
+
+18:010:006 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after
+           my sin?
+
+18:010:007 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can
+           deliver out of thine hand.
+
+18:010:008 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round
+           about; yet thou dost destroy me.
+
+18:010:009 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay;
+           and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
+
+18:010:010 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like
+           cheese?
+
+18:010:011 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me
+           with bones and sinews.
+
+18:010:012 Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath
+           preserved my spirit.
+
+18:010:013 And these things hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that
+           this is with thee.
+
+18:010:014 If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me
+           from mine iniquity.
+
+18:010:015 If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I
+           not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see
+           thou mine affliction;
+
+18:010:016 For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again
+           thou shewest thyself marvellous upon me.
+
+18:010:017 Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine
+           indignation upon me; changes and war are against me.
+
+18:010:018 Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh
+           that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!
+
+18:010:019 I should have been as though I had not been; I should have
+           been carried from the womb to the grave.
+
+18:010:020 Are not my days few? cease then, and let me alone, that I may
+           take comfort a little,
+
+18:010:021 Before I go whence I shall not return, even to the land of
+           darkness and the shadow of death;
+
+18:010:022 A land of darkness, as darkness itself; and of the shadow of
+           death, without any order, and where the light is as darkness.
+
+18:011:001 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
+
+18:011:002 Should not the multitude of words be answered? and should a
+           man full of talk be justified?
+
+18:011:003 Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou
+           mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?
+
+18:011:004 For thou hast said, My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in
+           thine eyes.
+
+18:011:005 But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against thee;
+
+18:011:006 And that he would shew thee the secrets of wisdom, that they
+           are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacteth
+           of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.
+
+18:011:007 Canst thou by searching find out God? canst thou find out the
+           Almighty unto perfection?
+
+18:011:008 It is as high as heaven; what canst thou do? deeper than hell;
+           what canst thou know?
+
+18:011:009 The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than
+           the sea.
+
+18:011:010 If he cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can
+           hinder him?
+
+18:011:011 For he knoweth vain men: he seeth wickedness also; will he not
+           then consider it?
+
+18:011:012 For vain men would be wise, though man be born like a wild
+           ass's colt.
+
+18:011:013 If thou prepare thine heart, and stretch out thine hands
+           toward him;
+
+18:011:014 If iniquity be in thine hand, put it far away, and let not
+           wickedness dwell in thy tabernacles.
+
+18:011:015 For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yea, thou
+           shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:
+
+18:011:016 Because thou shalt forget thy misery, and remember it as
+           waters that pass away:
+
+18:011:017 And thine age shall be clearer than the noonday: thou shalt
+           shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning.
+
+18:011:018 And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; yea, thou
+           shalt dig about thee, and thou shalt take thy rest in safety.
+
+18:011:019 Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid;
+           yea, many shall make suit unto thee.
+
+18:011:020 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.
+
+18:012:001 And Job answered and said,
+
+18:012:002 No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
+
+18:012:003 But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to
+           you: yea, who knoweth not such things as these?
+
+18:012:004 I am as one mocked of his neighbour, who calleth upon God, and
+           he answereth him: the just upright man is laughed to scorn.
+
+18:012:005 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised
+           in the thought of him that is at ease.
+
+18:012:006 The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God
+           are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
+
+18:012:007 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the
+           fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
+
+18:012:008 Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes
+           of the sea shall declare unto thee.
+
+18:012:009 Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath
+           wrought this?
+
+18:012:010 In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the
+           breath of all mankind.
+
+18:012:011 Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste his meat?
+
+18:012:012 With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days
+           understanding.
+
+18:012:013 With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and
+           understanding.
+
+18:012:014 Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he
+           shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
+
+18:012:015 Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he
+           sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
+
+18:012:016 With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver
+           are his.
+
+18:012:017 He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges
+           fools.
+
+18:012:018 He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a
+           girdle.
+
+18:012:019 He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
+
+18:012:020 He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the
+           understanding of the aged.
+
+18:012:021 He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength
+           of the mighty.
+
+18:012:022 He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out
+           to light the shadow of death.
+
+18:012:023 He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth
+           the nations, and straiteneth them again.
+
+18:012:024 He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the
+           earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there
+           is no way.
+
+18:012:025 They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to
+           stagger like a drunken man.
+
+18:013:001 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and
+           understood it.
+
+18:013:002 What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto
+           you.
+
+18:013:003 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason
+           with God.
+
+18:013:004 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
+
+18:013:005 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be
+           your wisdom.
+
+18:013:006 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my
+           lips.
+
+18:013:007 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
+
+18:013:008 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
+
+18:013:009 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man
+           mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
+
+18:013:010 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
+
+18:013:011 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall
+           upon you?
+
+18:013:012 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies
+           of clay.
+
+18:013:013 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come
+           on me what will.
+
+18:013:014 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in
+           mine hand?
+
+18:013:015 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will
+           maintain mine own ways before him.
+
+18:013:016 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come
+           before him.
+
+18:013:017 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
+
+18:013:018 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be
+           justified.
+
+18:013:019 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my
+           tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
+
+18:013:020 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself
+           from thee.
+
+18:013:021 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me
+           afraid.
+
+18:013:022 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer
+           thou me.
+
+18:013:023 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my
+           transgression and my sin.
+
+18:013:024 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine
+           enemy?
+
+18:013:025 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue
+           the dry stubble?
+
+18:013:026 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to
+           possess the iniquities of my youth.
+
+18:013:027 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly
+           unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my
+           feet.
+
+18:013:028 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is
+           moth eaten.
+
+18:014:001 Man that is born of a woman is of few days and full of
+           trouble.
+
+18:014:002 He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also
+           as a shadow, and continueth not.
+
+18:014:003 And doth thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest
+           me into judgment with thee?
+
+18:014:004 Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
+
+18:014:005 Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are
+           with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
+
+18:014:006 Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as
+           an hireling, his day.
+
+18:014:007 For there is hope of a tree, if it be cut down, that it will
+           sprout again, and that the tender branch thereof will not
+           cease.
+
+18:014:008 Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, and the stock
+           thereof die in the ground;
+
+18:014:009 Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth
+           boughs like a plant.
+
+18:014:010 But man dieth, and wasteth away: yea, man giveth up the ghost,
+           and where is he?
+
+18:014:011 As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and
+           drieth up:
+
+18:014:012 So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no
+           more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
+
+18:014:013 O that thou wouldest hide me in the grave, that thou wouldest
+           keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest
+           appoint me a set time, and remember me!
+
+18:014:014 If a man die, shall he live again? all the days of my
+           appointed time will I wait, till my change come.
+
+18:014:015 Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a
+           desire to the work of thine hands.
+
+18:014:016 For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my
+           sin?
+
+18:014:017 My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up
+           mine iniquity.
+
+18:014:018 And surely the mountains falling cometh to nought, and the
+           rock is removed out of his place.
+
+18:014:019 The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which
+           grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the
+           hope of man.
+
+18:014:020 Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou
+           changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
+
+18:014:021 His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are
+           brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
+
+18:014:022 But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within
+           him shall mourn.
+
+18:015:001 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
+
+18:015:002 Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly
+           with the east wind?
+
+18:015:003 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches
+           wherewith he can do no good?
+
+18:015:004 Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
+
+18:015:005 For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the
+           tongue of the crafty.
+
+18:015:006 Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own
+           lips testify against thee.
+
+18:015:007 Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before
+           the hills?
+
+18:015:008 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain
+           wisdom to thyself?
+
+18:015:009 What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou,
+           which is not in us?
+
+18:015:010 With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder
+           than thy father.
+
+18:015:011 Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any
+           secret thing with thee?
+
+18:015:012 Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes
+           wink at,
+
+18:015:013 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such
+           words go out of thy mouth?
+
+18:015:014 What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of
+           a woman, that he should be righteous?
+
+18:015:015 Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens
+           are not clean in his sight.
+
+18:015:016 How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh
+           iniquity like water?
+
+18:015:017 I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will
+           declare;
+
+18:015:018 Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid
+           it:
+
+18:015:019 Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed
+           among them.
+
+18:015:020 The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the
+           number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
+
+18:015:021 A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer
+           shall come upon him.
+
+18:015:022 He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he
+           is waited for of the sword.
+
+18:015:023 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth
+           that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
+
+18:015:024 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail
+           against him, as a king ready to the battle.
+
+18:015:025 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth
+           himself against the Almighty.
+
+18:015:026 He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses
+           of his bucklers:
+
+18:015:027 Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh
+           collops of fat on his flanks.
+
+18:015:028 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man
+           inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
+
+18:015:029 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue,
+           neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the
+           earth.
+
+18:015:030 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.
+
+18:015:031 Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall
+           be his recompence.
+
+18:015:032 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall
+           not be green.
+
+18:015:033 He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall
+           cast off his flower as the olive.
+
+18:015:034 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire
+           shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
+
+18:015:035 They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their
+           belly prepareth deceit.
+
+18:016:001 Then Job answered and said,
+
+18:016:002 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye
+           all.
+
+18:016:003 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that
+           thou answerest?
+
+18:016:004 I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's
+           stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head
+           at you.
+
+18:016:005 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my
+           lips should asswage your grief.
+
+18:016:006 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I
+           forbear, what am I eased?
+
+18:016:007 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my
+           company.
+
+18:016:008 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness
+           against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to
+           my face.
+
+18:016:009 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me
+           with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
+
+18:016:010 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me
+           upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves
+           together against me.
+
+18:016:011 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into
+           the hands of the wicked.
+
+18:016:012 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also
+           taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up
+           for his mark.
+
+18:016:013 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins
+           asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the
+           ground.
+
+18:016:014 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me
+           like a giant.
+
+18:016:015 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in
+           the dust.
+
+18:016:016 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow
+           of death;
+
+18:016:017 Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
+
+18:016:018 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no
+           place.
+
+18:016:019 Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on
+           high.
+
+18:016:020 My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
+
+18:016:021 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth
+           for his neighbour!
+
+18:016:022 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I
+           shall not return.
+
+18:017:001 My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are
+           ready for me.
+
+18:017:002 Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue
+           in their provocation?
+
+18:017:003 Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that
+           will strike hands with me?
+
+18:017:004 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore
+           shalt thou not exalt them.
+
+18:017:005 He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his
+           children shall fail.
+
+18:017:006 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I
+           was as a tabret.
+
+18:017:007 Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members
+           are as a shadow.
+
+18:017:008 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall
+           stir up himself against the hypocrite.
+
+18:017:009 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath
+           clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
+
+18:017:010 But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot
+           find one wise man among you.
+
+18:017:011 My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the
+           thoughts of my heart.
+
+18:017:012 They change the night into day: the light is short because of
+           darkness.
+
+18:017:013 If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the
+           darkness.
+
+18:017:014 I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm,
+           Thou art my mother, and my sister.
+
+18:017:015 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
+
+18:017:016 They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest
+           together is in the dust.
+
+18:018:001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
+
+18:018:002 How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and
+           afterwards we will speak.
+
+18:018:003 Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your
+           sight?
+
+18:018:004 He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken
+           for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
+
+18:018:005 Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark
+           of his fire shall not shine.
+
+18:018:006 The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle
+           shall be put out with him.
+
+18:018:007 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own
+           counsel shall cast him down.
+
+18:018:008 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon
+           a snare.
+
+18:018:009 The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall
+           prevail against him.
+
+18:018:010 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in
+           the way.
+
+18:018:011 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive
+           him to his feet.
+
+18:018:012 His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be
+           ready at his side.
+
+18:018:013 It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn
+           of death shall devour his strength.
+
+18:018:014 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it
+           shall bring him to the king of terrors.
+
+18:018:015 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his:
+           brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
+
+18:018:016 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his
+           branch be cut off.
+
+18:018:017 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have
+           no name in the street.
+
+18:018:018 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of
+           the world.
+
+18:018:019 He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any
+           remaining in his dwellings.
+
+18:018:020 They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they
+           that went before were affrighted.
+
+18:018:021 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the
+           place of him that knoweth not God.
+
+18:019:001 Then Job answered and said,
+
+18:019:002 How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with
+           words?
+
+18:019:003 These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that
+           ye make yourselves strange to me.
+
+18:019:004 And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with
+           myself.
+
+18:019:005 If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead
+           against me my reproach:
+
+18:019:006 Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me
+           with his net.
+
+18:019:007 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud,
+           but there is no judgment.
+
+18:019:008 He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set
+           darkness in my paths.
+
+18:019:009 He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my
+           head.
+
+18:019:010 He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine
+           hope hath he removed like a tree.
+
+18:019:011 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me
+           unto him as one of his enemies.
+
+18:019:012 His troops come together, and raise up their way against me,
+           and encamp round about my tabernacle.
+
+18:019:013 He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are
+           verily estranged from me.
+
+18:019:014 My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have
+           forgotten me.
+
+18:019:015 They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a
+           stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
+
+18:019:016 I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him
+           with my mouth.
+
+18:019:017 My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the
+           children's sake of mine own body.
+
+18:019:018 Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake
+           against me.
+
+18:019:019 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are
+           turned against me.
+
+18:019:020 My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped
+           with the skin of my teeth.
+
+18:019:021 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the
+           hand of God hath touched me.
+
+18:019:022 Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my
+           flesh?
+
+18:019:023 Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed
+           in a book!
+
+18:019:024 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock
+           for ever!
+
+18:019:025 For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at
+           the latter day upon the earth:
+
+18:019:026 And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my
+           flesh shall I see God:
+
+18:019:027 Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and
+           not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
+
+18:019:028 But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of
+           the matter is found in me?
+
+18:019:029 Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments
+           of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
+
+18:020:001 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said,
+
+18:020:002 Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I
+           make haste.
+
+18:020:003 I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my
+           understanding causeth me to answer.
+
+18:020:004 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,
+
+18:020:005 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the
+           hypocrite but for a moment?
+
+18:020:006 Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head
+           reach unto the clouds;
+
+18:020:007 Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which
+           have seen him shall say, Where is he?
+
+18:020:008 He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: yea, he
+           shall be chased away as a vision of the night.
+
+18:020:009 The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither
+           shall his place any more behold him.
+
+18:020:010 His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands
+           shall restore their goods.
+
+18:020:011 His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie
+           down with him in the dust.
+
+18:020:012 Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, though he hide it
+           under his tongue;
+
+18:020:013 Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still
+           within his mouth:
+
+18:020:014 Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps
+           within him.
+
+18:020:015 He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up
+           again: God shall cast them out of his belly.
+
+18:020:016 He shall suck the poison of asps: the viper's tongue shall
+           slay him.
+
+18:020:017 He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey
+           and butter.
+
+18:020:018 That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not
+           swallow it down: according to his substance shall the
+           restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.
+
+18:020:019 Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because
+           he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;
+
+18:020:020 Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not
+           save of that which he desired.
+
+18:020:021 There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man
+           look for his goods.
+
+18:020:022 In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:
+           every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
+
+18:020:023 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of
+           his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is
+           eating.
+
+18:020:024 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall
+           strike him through.
+
+18:020:025 It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering
+           sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.
+
+18:020:026 All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not
+           blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left
+           in his tabernacle.
+
+18:020:027 The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise
+           up against him.
+
+18:020:028 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall
+           flow away in the day of his wrath.
+
+18:020:029 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage
+           appointed unto him by God.
+
+18:021:001 But Job answered and said,
+
+18:021:002 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
+
+18:021:003 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock
+           on.
+
+18:021:004 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why
+           should not my spirit be troubled?
+
+18:021:005 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
+
+18:021:006 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on
+           my flesh.
+
+18:021:007 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in
+           power?
+
+18:021:008 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their
+           offspring before their eyes.
+
+18:021:009 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God
+           upon them.
+
+18:021:010 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and
+           casteth not her calf.
+
+18:021:011 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their
+           children dance.
+
+18:021:012 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of
+           the organ.
+
+18:021:013 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to
+           the grave.
+
+18:021:014 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not
+           the knowledge of thy ways.
+
+18:021:015 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what
+           profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
+
+18:021:016 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked
+           is far from me.
+
+18:021:017 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft
+           cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows
+           in his anger.
+
+18:021:018 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the
+           storm carrieth away.
+
+18:021:019 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him,
+           and he shall know it.
+
+18:021:020 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the
+           wrath of the Almighty.
+
+18:021:021 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the
+           number of his months is cut off in the midst?
+
+18:021:022 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that
+           are high.
+
+18:021:023 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and
+           quiet.
+
+18:021:024 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with
+           marrow.
+
+18:021:025 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never
+           eateth with pleasure.
+
+18:021:026 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall
+           cover them.
+
+18:021:027 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye
+           wrongfully imagine against me.
+
+18:021:028 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are
+           the dwelling places of the wicked?
+
+18:021:029 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know
+           their tokens,
+
+18:021:030 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they
+           shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
+
+18:021:031 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him
+           what he hath done?
+
+18:021:032 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the
+           tomb.
+
+18:021:033 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man
+           shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
+
+18:021:034 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there
+           remaineth falsehood?
+
+18:022:001 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
+
+18:022:002 Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be
+           profitable unto himself?
+
+18:022:003 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous?
+           or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?
+
+18:022:004 Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee
+           into judgment?
+
+18:022:005 Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?
+
+18:022:006 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and
+           stripped the naked of their clothing.
+
+18:022:007 Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast
+           withholden bread from the hungry.
+
+18:022:008 But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the
+           honourable man dwelt in it.
+
+18:022:009 Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the
+           fatherless have been broken.
+
+18:022:010 Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear
+           troubleth thee;
+
+18:022:011 Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters
+           cover thee.
+
+18:022:012 Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of
+           the stars, how high they are!
+
+18:022:013 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the
+           dark cloud?
+
+18:022:014 Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he
+           walketh in the circuit of heaven.
+
+18:022:015 Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?
+
+18:022:016 Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was
+           overflown with a flood:
+
+18:022:017 Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty
+           do for them?
+
+18:022:018 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel
+           of the wicked is far from me.
+
+18:022:019 The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh
+           them to scorn.
+
+18:022:020 Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them
+           the fire consumeth.
+
+18:022:021 Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good
+           shall come unto thee.
+
+18:022:022 Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his
+           words in thine heart.
+
+18:022:023 If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou
+           shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.
+
+18:022:024 Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as
+           the stones of the brooks.
+
+18:022:025 Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have
+           plenty of silver.
+
+18:022:026 For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and
+           shalt lift up thy face unto God.
+
+18:022:027 Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee,
+           and thou shalt pay thy vows.
+
+18:022:028 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established
+           unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.
+
+18:022:029 When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting
+           up; and he shall save the humble person.
+
+18:022:030 He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is
+           delivered by the pureness of thine hands.
+
+18:023:001 Then Job answered and said,
+
+18:023:002 Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than
+           my groaning.
+
+18:023:003 Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even
+           to his seat!
+
+18:023:004 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with
+           arguments.
+
+18:023:005 I would know the words which he would answer me, and
+           understand what he would say unto me.
+
+18:023:006 Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he
+           would put strength in me.
+
+18:023:007 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be
+           delivered for ever from my judge.
+
+18:023:008 Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I
+           cannot perceive him:
+
+18:023:009 On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him:
+           he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:
+
+18:023:010 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I
+           shall come forth as gold.
+
+18:023:011 My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not
+           declined.
+
+18:023:012 Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I
+           have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary
+           food.
+
+18:023:013 But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul
+           desireth, even that he doeth.
+
+18:023:014 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many
+           such things are with him.
+
+18:023:015 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am
+           afraid of him.
+
+18:023:016 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
+
+18:023:017 Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he
+           covered the darkness from my face.
+
+18:024:001 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they
+           that know him not see his days?
+
+18:024:002 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks,
+           and feed thereof.
+
+18:024:003 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the
+           widow's ox for a pledge.
+
+18:024:004 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide
+           themselves together.
+
+18:024:005 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their
+           work; rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food
+           for them and for their children.
+
+18:024:006 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the
+           vintage of the wicked.
+
+18:024:007 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have
+           no covering in the cold.
+
+18:024:008 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace
+           the rock for want of a shelter.
+
+18:024:009 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge
+           of the poor.
+
+18:024:010 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take
+           away the sheaf from the hungry;
+
+18:024:011 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their
+           winepresses, and suffer thirst.
+
+18:024:012 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded
+           crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
+
+18:024:013 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not
+           the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.
+
+18:024:014 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy,
+           and in the night is as a thief.
+
+18:024:015 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight,
+           saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
+
+18:024:016 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for
+           themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.
+
+18:024:017 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one
+           know them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.
+
+18:024:018 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the
+           earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.
+
+18:024:019 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave
+           those which have sinned.
+
+18:024:020 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him;
+           he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken
+           as a tree.
+
+18:024:021 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not
+           good to the widow.
+
+18:024:022 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and
+           no man is sure of life.
+
+18:024:023 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth;
+           yet his eyes are upon their ways.
+
+18:024:024 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought
+           low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off
+           as the tops of the ears of corn.
+
+18:024:025 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my
+           speech nothing worth?
+
+18:025:001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
+
+18:025:002 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high
+           places.
+
+18:025:003 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his
+           light arise?
+
+18:025:004 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean
+           that is born of a woman?
+
+18:025:005 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars
+           are not pure in his sight.
+
+18:025:006 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which
+           is a worm?
+
+18:026:001 But Job answered and said,
+
+18:026:002 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest
+           thou the arm that hath no strength?
+
+18:026:003 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast
+           thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?
+
+18:026:004 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from
+           thee?
+
+18:026:005 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the
+           inhabitants thereof.
+
+18:026:006 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.
+
+18:026:007 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth
+           the earth upon nothing.
+
+18:026:008 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is
+           not rent under them.
+
+18:026:009 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his
+           cloud upon it.
+
+18:026:010 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and
+           night come to an end.
+
+18:026:011 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his
+           reproof.
+
+18:026:012 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding
+           he smiteth through the proud.
+
+18:026:013 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath
+           formed the crooked serpent.
+
+18:026:014 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is
+           heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?
+
+18:027:001 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
+
+18:027:002 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the
+           Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;
+
+18:027:003 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in
+           my nostrils;
+
+18:027:004 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter
+           deceit.
+
+18:027:005 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not
+           remove mine integrity from me.
+
+18:027:006 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart
+           shall not reproach me so long as I live.
+
+18:027:007 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against
+           me as the unrighteous.
+
+18:027:008 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained,
+           when God taketh away his soul?
+
+18:027:009 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?
+
+18:027:010 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call
+           upon God?
+
+18:027:011 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the
+           Almighty will I not conceal.
+
+18:027:012 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus
+           altogether vain?
+
+18:027:013 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage
+           of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.
+
+18:027:014 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his
+           offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
+
+18:027:015 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his
+           widows shall not weep.
+
+18:027:016 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as
+           the clay;
+
+18:027:017 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the
+           innocent shall divide the silver.
+
+18:027:018 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the
+           keeper maketh.
+
+18:027:019 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he
+           openeth his eyes, and he is not.
+
+18:027:020 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him
+           away in the night.
+
+18:027:021 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a
+           storm hurleth him out of his place.
+
+18:027:022 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee
+           out of his hand.
+
+18:027:023 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of
+           his place.
+
+18:028:001 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold
+           where they fine it.
+
+18:028:002 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the
+           stone.
+
+18:028:003 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all
+           perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
+
+18:028:004 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters
+           forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away
+           from men.
+
+18:028:005 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is
+           turned up as it were fire.
+
+18:028:006 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust
+           of gold.
+
+18:028:007 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's
+           eye hath not seen:
+
+18:028:008 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion
+           passed by it.
+
+18:028:009 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the
+           mountains by the roots.
+
+18:028:010 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every
+           precious thing.
+
+18:028:011 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is
+           hid bringeth he forth to light.
+
+18:028:012 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of
+           understanding?
+
+18:028:013 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the
+           land of the living.
+
+18:028:014 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not
+           with me.
+
+18:028:015 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed
+           for the price thereof.
+
+18:028:016 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious
+           onyx, or the sapphire.
+
+18:028:017 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of
+           it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
+
+18:028:018 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price
+           of wisdom is above rubies.
+
+18:028:019 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be
+           valued with pure gold.
+
+18:028:020 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of
+           understanding?
+
+18:028:021 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close
+           from the fowls of the air.
+
+18:028:022 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with
+           our ears.
+
+18:028:023 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place
+           thereof.
+
+18:028:024 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the
+           whole heaven;
+
+18:028:025 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters
+           by measure.
+
+18:028:026 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the
+           lightning of the thunder:
+
+18:028:027 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and
+           searched it out.
+
+18:028:028 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is
+           wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
+
+18:029:001 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
+
+18:029:002 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God
+           preserved me;
+
+18:029:003 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I
+           walked through darkness;
+
+18:029:004 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was
+           upon my tabernacle;
+
+18:029:005 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about
+           me;
+
+18:029:006 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out
+           rivers of oil;
+
+18:029:007 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared
+           my seat in the street!
+
+18:029:008 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose,
+           and stood up.
+
+18:029:009 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their
+           mouth.
+
+18:029:010 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the
+           roof of their mouth.
+
+18:029:011 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye
+           saw me, it gave witness to me:
+
+18:029:012 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless,
+           and him that had none to help him.
+
+18:029:013 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and
+           I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
+
+18:029:014 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as
+           a robe and a diadem.
+
+18:029:015 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
+
+18:029:016 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I
+           searched out.
+
+18:029:017 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out
+           of his teeth.
+
+18:029:018 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my
+           days as the sand.
+
+18:029:019 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all
+           night upon my branch.
+
+18:029:020 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
+
+18:029:021 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my
+           counsel.
+
+18:029:022 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped
+           upon them.
+
+18:029:023 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their
+           mouth wide as for the latter rain.
+
+18:029:024 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of
+           my countenance they cast not down.
+
+18:029:025 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in
+           the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
+
+18:030:001 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision,
+           whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs
+           of my flock.
+
+18:030:002 Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in
+           whom old age was perished?
+
+18:030:003 For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the
+           wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
+
+18:030:004 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their
+           meat.
+
+18:030:005 They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them
+           as after a thief;)
+
+18:030:006 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth,
+           and in the rocks.
+
+18:030:007 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were
+           gathered together.
+
+18:030:008 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they
+           were viler than the earth.
+
+18:030:009 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
+
+18:030:010 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in
+           my face.
+
+18:030:011 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have
+           also let loose the bridle before me.
+
+18:030:012 Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and
+           they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
+
+18:030:013 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no
+           helper.
+
+18:030:014 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the
+           desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
+
+18:030:015 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind:
+           and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
+
+18:030:016 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction
+           have taken hold upon me.
+
+18:030:017 My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews
+           take no rest.
+
+18:030:018 By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it
+           bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
+
+18:030:019 He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and
+           ashes.
+
+18:030:020 I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and
+           thou regardest me not.
+
+18:030:021 Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou
+           opposest thyself against me.
+
+18:030:022 Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon
+           it, and dissolvest my substance.
+
+18:030:023 For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house
+           appointed for all living.
+
+18:030:024 Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though
+           they cry in his destruction.
+
+18:030:025 Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul
+           grieved for the poor?
+
+18:030:026 When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I
+           waited for light, there came darkness.
+
+18:030:027 My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction
+           prevented me.
+
+18:030:028 I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in
+           the congregation.
+
+18:030:029 I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
+
+18:030:030 My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
+
+18:030:031 My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the
+           voice of them that weep.
+
+18:031:001 I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon
+           a maid?
+
+18:031:002 For what portion of God is there from above? and what
+           inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
+
+18:031:003 Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to
+           the workers of iniquity?
+
+18:031:004 Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
+
+18:031:005 If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to
+           deceit;
+
+18:031:006 Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine
+           integrity.
+
+18:031:007 If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked
+           after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
+
+18:031:008 Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be
+           rooted out.
+
+18:031:009 If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid
+           wait at my neighbour's door;
+
+18:031:010 Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down
+           upon her.
+
+18:031:011 For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be
+           punished by the judges.
+
+18:031:012 For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root
+           out all mine increase.
+
+18:031:013 If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my
+           maidservant, when they contended with me;
+
+18:031:014 What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth,
+           what shall I answer him?
+
+18:031:015 Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one
+           fashion us in the womb?
+
+18:031:016 If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused
+           the eyes of the widow to fail;
+
+18:031:017 Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath
+           not eaten thereof;
+
+18:031:018 (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a
+           father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
+
+18:031:019 If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor
+           without covering;
+
+18:031:020 If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed
+           with the fleece of my sheep;
+
+18:031:021 If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw
+           my help in the gate:
+
+18:031:022 Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be
+           broken from the bone.
+
+18:031:023 For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of
+           his highness I could not endure.
+
+18:031:024 If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold,
+           Thou art my confidence;
+
+18:031:025 If I rejoice because my wealth was great, and because mine
+           hand had gotten much;
+
+18:031:026 If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in
+           brightness;
+
+18:031:027 And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath
+           kissed my hand:
+
+18:031:028 This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I
+           should have denied the God that is above.
+
+18:031:029 If I rejoice at the destruction of him that hated me, or
+           lifted up myself when evil found him:
+
+18:031:030 Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to
+           his soul.
+
+18:031:031 If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his
+           flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
+
+18:031:032 The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my
+           doors to the traveller.
+
+18:031:033 If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine
+           iniquity in my bosom:
+
+18:031:034 Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families
+           terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
+
+18:031:035 Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the
+           Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written
+           a book.
+
+18:031:036 Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a
+           crown to me.
+
+18:031:037 I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince
+           would I go near unto him.
+
+18:031:038 If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise
+           thereof complain;
+
+18:031:039 If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have
+           caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
+
+18:031:040 Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of
+           barley. The words of Job are ended.
+
+18:032:001 So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was
+           righteous in his own eyes.
+
+18:032:002 Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the
+           Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath
+           kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
+
+18:032:003 Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because
+           they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
+
+18:032:004 Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were
+           elder than he.
+
+18:032:005 When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these
+           three men, then his wrath was kindled.
+
+18:032:006 And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I
+           am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and
+           durst not shew you mine opinion.
+
+18:032:007 I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach
+           wisdom.
+
+18:032:008 But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the
+           Almighty giveth them understanding.
+
+18:032:009 Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand
+           judgment.
+
+18:032:010 Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine
+           opinion.
+
+18:032:011 Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons,
+           whilst ye searched out what to say.
+
+18:032:012 Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you
+           that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
+
+18:032:013 Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth
+           him down, not man.
+
+18:032:014 Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I
+           answer him with your speeches.
+
+18:032:015 They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off
+           speaking.
+
+18:032:016 When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and
+           answered no more;)
+
+18:032:017 I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine
+           opinion.
+
+18:032:018 For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
+
+18:032:019 Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to
+           burst like new bottles.
+
+18:032:020 I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and
+           answer.
+
+18:032:021 Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let
+           me give flattering titles unto man.
+
+18:032:022 For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker
+           would soon take me away.
+
+18:033:001 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to
+           all my words.
+
+18:033:002 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in
+           my mouth.
+
+18:033:003 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips
+           shall utter knowledge clearly.
+
+18:033:004 The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty
+           hath given me life.
+
+18:033:005 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me,
+           stand up.
+
+18:033:006 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am
+           formed out of the clay.
+
+18:033:007 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my
+           hand be heavy upon thee.
+
+18:033:008 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the
+           voice of thy words, saying,
+
+18:033:009 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is
+           there iniquity in me.
+
+18:033:010 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for
+           his enemy,
+
+18:033:011 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
+
+18:033:012 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that
+           God is greater than man.
+
+18:033:013 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of
+           any of his matters.
+
+18:033:014 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
+
+18:033:015 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth
+           upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
+
+18:033:016 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their
+           instruction,
+
+18:033:017 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from
+           man.
+
+18:033:018 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from
+           perishing by the sword.
+
+18:033:019 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude
+           of his bones with strong pain:
+
+18:033:020 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
+
+18:033:021 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his
+           bones that were not seen stick out.
+
+18:033:022 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the
+           destroyers.
+
+18:033:023 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a
+           thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
+
+18:033:024 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from
+           going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
+
+18:033:025 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to
+           the days of his youth:
+
+18:033:026 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him:
+           and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto
+           man his righteousness.
+
+18:033:027 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and
+           perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
+
+18:033:028 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life
+           shall see the light.
+
+18:033:029 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
+
+18:033:030 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with
+           the light of the living.
+
+18:033:031 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will
+           speak.
+
+18:033:032 If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire
+           to justify thee.
+
+18:033:033 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach
+           thee wisdom.
+
+18:034:001 Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
+
+18:034:002 Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that
+           have knowledge.
+
+18:034:003 For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
+
+18:034:004 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what
+           is good.
+
+18:034:005 For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my
+           judgment.
+
+18:034:006 Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without
+           transgression.
+
+18:034:007 What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
+
+18:034:008 Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and
+           walketh with wicked men.
+
+18:034:009 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should
+           delight himself with God.
+
+18:034:010 Therefore hearken unto me ye men of understanding: far be it
+           from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty,
+           that he should commit iniquity.
+
+18:034:011 For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause
+           every man to find according to his ways.
+
+18:034:012 Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the
+           Almighty pervert judgment.
+
+18:034:013 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath
+           disposed the whole world?
+
+18:034:014 If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his
+           spirit and his breath;
+
+18:034:015 All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto
+           dust.
+
+18:034:016 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the
+           voice of my words.
+
+18:034:017 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn
+           him that is most just?
+
+18:034:018 Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes,
+           Ye are ungodly?
+
+18:034:019 How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of
+           princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they
+           all are the work of his hands.
+
+18:034:020 In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled
+           at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away
+           without hand.
+
+18:034:021 For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his
+           goings.
+
+18:034:022 There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers
+           of iniquity may hide themselves.
+
+18:034:023 For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should
+           enter into judgment with God.
+
+18:034:024 He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set
+           others in their stead.
+
+18:034:025 Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in
+           the night, so that they are destroyed.
+
+18:034:026 He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
+
+18:034:027 Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any
+           of his ways:
+
+18:034:028 So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and
+           he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
+
+18:034:029 When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when
+           he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be
+           done against a nation, or against a man only:
+
+18:034:030 That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
+
+18:034:031 Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne
+           chastisement, I will not offend any more:
+
+18:034:032 That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I
+           will do no more.
+
+18:034:033 Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it,
+           whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I:
+           therefore speak what thou knowest.
+
+18:034:034 Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken
+           unto me.
+
+18:034:035 Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without
+           wisdom.
+
+18:034:036 My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his
+           answers for wicked men.
+
+18:034:037 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands
+           among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
+
+18:035:001 Elihu spake moreover, and said,
+
+18:035:002 Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My
+           righteousness is more than God's?
+
+18:035:003 For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and,
+           What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?
+
+18:035:004 I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.
+
+18:035:005 Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which
+           are higher than thou.
+
+18:035:006 If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy
+           transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?
+
+18:035:007 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what receiveth
+           he of thine hand?
+
+18:035:008 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy
+           righteousness may profit the son of man.
+
+18:035:009 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the
+           oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the
+           mighty.
+
+18:035:010 But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in the
+           night;
+
+18:035:011 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh
+           us wiser than the fowls of heaven?
+
+18:035:012 There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride
+           of evil men.
+
+18:035:013 Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty
+           regard it.
+
+18:035:014 Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is
+           before him; therefore trust thou in him.
+
+18:035:015 But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger;
+           yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:
+
+18:035:016 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth
+           words without knowledge.
+
+18:036:001 Elihu also proceeded, and said,
+
+18:036:002 Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to
+           speak on God's behalf.
+
+18:036:003 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe
+           righteousness to my Maker.
+
+18:036:004 For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in
+           knowledge is with thee.
+
+18:036:005 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in
+           strength and wisdom.
+
+18:036:006 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to
+           the poor.
+
+18:036:007 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings
+           are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever,
+           and they are exalted.
+
+18:036:008 And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of
+           affliction;
+
+18:036:009 Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that
+           they have exceeded.
+
+18:036:010 He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that
+           they return from iniquity.
+
+18:036:011 If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in
+           prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
+
+18:036:012 But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they
+           shall die without knowledge.
+
+18:036:013 But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when
+           he bindeth them.
+
+18:036:014 They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
+
+18:036:015 He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their
+           ears in oppression.
+
+18:036:016 Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait into a
+           broad place, where there is no straitness; and that which
+           should be set on thy table should be full of fatness.
+
+18:036:017 But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment
+           and justice take hold on thee.
+
+18:036:018 Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his
+           stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.
+
+18:036:019 Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold, nor all the forces of
+           strength.
+
+18:036:020 Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.
+
+18:036:021 Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen
+           rather than affliction.
+
+18:036:022 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
+
+18:036:023 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast
+           wrought iniquity?
+
+18:036:024 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
+
+18:036:025 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
+
+18:036:026 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the
+           number of his years be searched out.
+
+18:036:027 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain
+           according to the vapour thereof:
+
+18:036:028 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
+
+18:036:029 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the
+           noise of his tabernacle?
+
+18:036:030 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the
+           bottom of the sea.
+
+18:036:031 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in
+           abundance.
+
+18:036:032 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to
+           shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
+
+18:036:033 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also
+           concerning the vapour.
+
+18:037:001 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his
+           place.
+
+18:037:002 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that
+           goeth out of his mouth.
+
+18:037:003 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto
+           the ends of the earth.
+
+18:037:004 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his
+           excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
+
+18:037:005 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth
+           he, which we cannot comprehend.
+
+18:037:006 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to
+           the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
+
+18:037:007 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his
+           work.
+
+18:037:008 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
+
+18:037:009 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the
+           north.
+
+18:037:010 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the
+           waters is straitened.
+
+18:037:011 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth
+           his bright cloud:
+
+18:037:012 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do
+           whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in
+           the earth.
+
+18:037:013 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his
+           land, or for mercy.
+
+18:037:014 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the
+           wondrous works of God.
+
+18:037:015 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of
+           his cloud to shine?
+
+18:037:016 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous
+           works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
+
+18:037:017 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the
+           south wind?
+
+18:037:018 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as
+           a molten looking glass?
+
+18:037:019 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our
+           speech by reason of darkness.
+
+18:037:020 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he
+           shall be swallowed up.
+
+18:037:021 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds:
+           but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
+
+18:037:022 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible
+           majesty.
+
+18:037:023 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent
+           in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will
+           not afflict.
+
+18:037:024 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise
+           of heart.
+
+18:038:001 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
+
+18:038:002 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
+
+18:038:003 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee,
+           and answer thou me.
+
+18:038:004 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
+           declare, if thou hast understanding.
+
+18:038:005 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who
+           hath stretched the line upon it?
+
+18:038:006 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid
+           the corner stone thereof;
+
+18:038:007 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God
+           shouted for joy?
+
+18:038:008 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if
+           it had issued out of the womb?
+
+18:038:009 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness
+           a swaddlingband for it,
+
+18:038:010 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
+
+18:038:011 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here
+           shall thy proud waves be stayed?
+
+18:038:012 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the
+           dayspring to know his place;
+
+18:038:013 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the
+           wicked might be shaken out of it?
+
+18:038:014 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
+
+18:038:015 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high
+           arm shall be broken.
+
+18:038:016 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou
+           walked in the search of the depth?
+
+18:038:017 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou
+           seen the doors of the shadow of death?
+
+18:038:018 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou
+           knowest it all.
+
+18:038:019 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness,
+           where is the place thereof,
+
+18:038:020 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that
+           thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
+
+18:038:021 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the
+           number of thy days is great?
+
+18:038:022 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou
+           seen the treasures of the hail,
+
+18:038:023 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the
+           day of battle and war?
+
+18:038:024 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east
+           wind upon the earth?
+
+18:038:025 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters,
+           or a way for the lightning of thunder;
+
+18:038:026 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the
+           wilderness, wherein there is no man;
+
+18:038:027 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud
+           of the tender herb to spring forth?
+
+18:038:028 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
+
+18:038:029 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven,
+           who hath gendered it?
+
+18:038:030 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep
+           is frozen.
+
+18:038:031 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the
+           bands of Orion?
+
+18:038:032 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou
+           guide Arcturus with his sons?
+
+18:038:033 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the
+           dominion thereof in the earth?
+
+18:038:034 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of
+           waters may cover thee?
+
+18:038:035 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto
+           thee, Here we are?
+
+18:038:036 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given
+           understanding to the heart?
+
+18:038:037 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the
+           bottles of heaven,
+
+18:038:038 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast
+           together?
+
+18:038:039 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of
+           the young lions,
+
+18:038:040 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie
+           in wait?
+
+18:038:041 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry
+           unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
+
+18:039:001 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring
+           forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
+
+18:039:002 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou
+           the time when they bring forth?
+
+18:039:003 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they
+           cast out their sorrows.
+
+18:039:004 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn;
+           they go forth, and return not unto them.
+
+18:039:005 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the
+           bands of the wild ass?
+
+18:039:006 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land
+           his dwellings.
+
+18:039:007 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he
+           the crying of the driver.
+
+18:039:008 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth
+           after every green thing.
+
+18:039:009 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy
+           crib?
+
+18:039:010 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or
+           will he harrow the valleys after thee?
+
+18:039:011 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt
+           thou leave thy labour to him?
+
+18:039:012 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and
+           gather it into thy barn?
+
+18:039:013 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and
+           feathers unto the ostrich?
+
+18:039:014 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
+
+18:039:015 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild
+           beast may break them.
+
+18:039:016 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were
+           not her's: her labour is in vain without fear;
+
+18:039:017 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he
+           imparted to her understanding.
+
+18:039:018 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the
+           horse and his rider.
+
+18:039:019 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck
+           with thunder?
+
+18:039:020 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his
+           nostrils is terrible.
+
+18:039:021 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he
+           goeth on to meet the armed men.
+
+18:039:022 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he
+           back from the sword.
+
+18:039:023 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the
+           shield.
+
+18:039:024 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither
+           believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.
+
+18:039:025 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the
+           battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the
+           shouting.
+
+18:039:026 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward
+           the south?
+
+18:039:027 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on
+           high?
+
+18:039:028 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the
+           rock, and the strong place.
+
+18:039:029 From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar
+           off.
+
+18:039:030 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are,
+           there is she.
+
+18:040:001 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
+
+18:040:002 Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he
+           that reproveth God, let him answer it.
+
+18:040:003 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
+
+18:040:004 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine
+           hand upon my mouth.
+
+18:040:005 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I
+           will proceed no further.
+
+18:040:006 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and
+           said,
+
+18:040:007 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and
+           declare thou unto me.
+
+18:040:008 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me,
+           that thou mayest be righteous?
+
+18:040:009 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice
+           like him?
+
+18:040:010 Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array
+           thyself with glory and beauty.
+
+18:040:011 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that
+           is proud, and abase him.
+
+18:040:012 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread
+           down the wicked in their place.
+
+18:040:013 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in
+           secret.
+
+18:040:014 Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand
+           can save thee.
+
+18:040:015 Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass
+           as an ox.
+
+18:040:016 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the
+           navel of his belly.
+
+18:040:017 He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are
+           wrapped together.
+
+18:040:018 His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like
+           bars of iron.
+
+18:040:019 He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make
+           his sword to approach unto him.
+
+18:040:020 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the
+           beasts of the field play.
+
+18:040:021 He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and
+           fens.
+
+18:040:022 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of
+           the brook compass him about.
+
+18:040:023 Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth
+           that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
+
+18:040:024 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
+
+18:041:001 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with
+           a cord which thou lettest down?
+
+18:041:002 Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through
+           with a thorn?
+
+18:041:003 Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft
+           words unto thee?
+
+18:041:004 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a
+           servant for ever?
+
+18:041:005 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him
+           for thy maidens?
+
+18:041:006 Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part
+           him among the merchants?
+
+18:041:007 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with
+           fish spears?
+
+18:041:008 Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
+
+18:041:009 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down
+           even at the sight of him?
+
+18:041:010 None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to
+           stand before me?
+
+18:041:011 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is
+           under the whole heaven is mine.
+
+18:041:012 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely
+           proportion.
+
+18:041:013 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to
+           him with his double bridle?
+
+18:041:014 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible
+           round about.
+
+18:041:015 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close
+           seal.
+
+18:041:016 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
+
+18:041:017 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they
+           cannot be sundered.
+
+18:041:018 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the
+           eyelids of the morning.
+
+18:041:019 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap
+           out.
+
+18:041:020 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or
+           caldron.
+
+18:041:021 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
+
+18:041:022 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy
+           before him.
+
+18:041:023 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in
+           themselves; they cannot be moved.
+
+18:041:024 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of
+           the nether millstone.
+
+18:041:025 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason
+           of breakings they purify themselves.
+
+18:041:026 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear,
+           the dart, nor the habergeon.
+
+18:041:027 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
+
+18:041:028 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with
+           him into stubble.
+
+18:041:029 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a
+           spear.
+
+18:041:030 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things
+           upon the mire.
+
+18:041:031 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like
+           a pot of ointment.
+
+18:041:032 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep
+           to be hoary.
+
+18:041:033 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
+
+18:041:034 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the
+           children of pride.
+
+18:042:001 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
+
+18:042:002 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can
+           be withholden from thee.
+
+18:042:003 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore
+           have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for
+           me, which I knew not.
+
+18:042:004 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee,
+           and declare thou unto me.
+
+18:042:005 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine
+           eye seeth thee.
+
+18:042:006 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
+
+18:042:007 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto
+           Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is
+           kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have
+           not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job
+           hath.
+
+18:042:008 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and
+           go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt
+           offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will
+           I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye
+           have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my
+           servant Job.
+
+18:042:009 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the
+           Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them:
+           the LORD also accepted Job.
+
+18:042:010 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for
+           his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had
+           before.
+
+18:042:011 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his
+           sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance
+           before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they
+           bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the
+           LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of
+           money, and every one an earring of gold.
+
+18:042:012 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his
+           beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six
+           thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand
+           she asses.
+
+18:042:013 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
+
+18:042:014 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of
+           the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
+
+18:042:015 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the
+           daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among
+           their brethren.
+
+18:042:016 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his
+           sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.
+
+18:042:017 So Job died, being old and full of days.

+Project Gutenberg eBooks are often created from several printed
+editions, all of which are confirmed as Public Domain in the US
+unless a copyright notice is included.  Thus, we usually do not
+keep eBooks in compliance with any particular paper edition.
+
+We are now trying to release all our eBooks one year in advance
+of the official release dates, leaving time for better editing.
+Please be encouraged to tell us about any error or corrections,
+even years after the official publication date.
+
+Please note neither this listing nor its contents are final til
+midnight of the last day of the month of any such announcement.
+The official release date of all Project Gutenberg eBooks is at
+Midnight, Central Time, of the last day of the stated month.  A
+preliminary version may often be posted for suggestion, comment
+and editing by those who wish to do so.
+
+Most people start at our Web sites at:

+
+These Web sites include award-winning information about Project

+
+
+Those of you who want to download any eBook before announcement
+can get to them as follows, and just download by date.  This is
+also a good way to get them instantly upon announcement, as the

+
+We produce about two million dollars for each hour we work.  The
+time it takes us, a rather conservative estimate, is fifty hours
+to get any eBook selected, entered, proofread, edited, copyright
+searched and analyzed, the copyright letters written, etc.   Our
+projected audience is one hundred million readers.  If the value
+per text is nominally estimated at one dollar then we produce $2
+million dollars per hour in 2002 as we release over 100 new text
+files per month:  1240 more eBooks in 2001 for a total of 4000+
+We are already on our way to trying for 2000 more eBooks in 2002
+If they reach just 1-2% of the world's population then the total
+will reach over half a trillion eBooks given away by year's end.
+
+The Goal of Project Gutenberg is to Give Away 1 Trillion eBooks!
+This is ten thousand titles each to one hundred million readers,
+which is only about 4% of the present number of computer users.
