The Book of Job
Job:8:1: Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
Job:8:2: How long wilt thou speak these [things]? and [how long shall] the words of thy mouth [be like] a strong wind?
Job:8:3: Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
Job:8:4: If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast them away for their transgression;
Job:8:5: If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
Job:8:6: If thou [wert] pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
Job:8:7: Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
Job:8:8: For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
Job:8:9: (For we [are but of] yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth [are] a shadow:)
Job:8:10: Shall not they teach thee, [and] tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
Job:8:11: Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
Job:8:12: Whilst it [is] yet in his greenness, [and] not cut down, it withereth before any [other] herb.
Job:8:13: So [are] the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
Job:8:14: Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust [shall be] a spider's web.
Job:8:15: He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
Job:8:16: He [is] green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
Job:8:17: His roots are wrapped about the heap, [and] seeth the place of stones.
Job:8:18: If he destroy him from his place, then [it] shall deny him, [saying], I have not seen thee.
Job:8:19: Behold, this [is] the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
Job:8:20: Behold, God will not cast away a perfect [man], neither will he help the evil doers:
Job:8:21: Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
Job:8:22: They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
The Book of Job
Job:9:1: Then Job answered and said,
Job:9:2: I know [it is] so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
Job:9:3: If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
Job:9:4: [He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened [himself] against him, and hath prospered?
Job:9:5: Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
Job:9:6: Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
Job:9:7: Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
Job:9:8: Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
Job:9:9: Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
Job:9:10: Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
Job:9:11: Lo, he goeth by me, and I see [him] not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
Job:9:12: Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
Job:9:13: [If] God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
Job:9:14: How much less shall I answer him, [and] choose out my words [to reason] with him?
Job:9:15: Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer, [but] I would make supplication to my judge.
Job:9:16: If I had called, and he had answered me; [yet] would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
Job:9:17: For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
Job:9:18: He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
Job:9:19: If [I speak] of strength, lo, [he is] strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time [to plead]?
Job:9:20: If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: [if I say], I [am] perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
Job:9:21: [Though] I [were] perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
Job:9:22: This [is] one [thing], therefore I said [it], He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
Job:9:23: If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
Job:9:24: The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, [and] who [is] he?
Job:9:25: Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
Job:9:26: They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle [that] hasteth to the prey.
Job:9:27: If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort [myself]:
Job:9:28: I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
Job:9:29: [If] I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
Job:9:30: If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
Job:9:31: Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
Job:9:32: For [he is] not a man, as I [am, that] I should answer him, [and] we should come together in judgment.
Job:9:33: Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, [that] might lay his hand upon us both.
Job:9:34: Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
Job:9:35: [Then] would I speak, and not fear him; but [it is] not so with me.
The Book of Job
Job:10:1: My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
Job:10:2: I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; show me wherefore thou contendest with me.
Job:10:3: [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?
Job:10:4: Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
Job:10:5: [Are] thy days as the days of man? [are] thy years as man's days,
Job:10:6: That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
Job:10:7: Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and [there is] none that can deliver out of thine hand.
Job:10:8: Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
Job:10:9: Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
Job:10:10: Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
Job:10:11: Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
Job:10:12: Thou hast granted me life and favour, and thy visitation hath preserved my spirit.
Job:10:13: And these [things] hast thou hid in thine heart: I know that this [is] with thee.
Job:10:14: If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.
Job:10:15: 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;
Job:10:16: For it increaseth. Thou huntest me as a fierce lion: and again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.
Job:10:17: Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, and increasest thine indignation upon me; changes and war [are] against me.
Job:10:18: 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!
Job:10:19: I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
Job:10:20: [Are] not my days few? cease [then, and] let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,
Job:10:21: Before I go [whence] I shall not return, [even] to the land of darkness and the shadow of death;
Job:10:22: A land of darkness, as darkness [itself; and] of the shadow of death, without any order, and [where] the light [is] as darkness.
