kjv@Job:28:1 @ Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
kjv@Job:28:2 @ Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
kjv@Job:28:3 @ He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
kjv@Job:28:4 @ The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
kjv@Job:28:5 @ As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
kjv@Job:28:6 @ The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
kjv@Job:28:7 @ There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
kjv@Job:28:8 @ The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
kjv@Job:28:9 @ He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
kjv@Job:28:10 @ He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
kjv@Job:28:11 @ He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
kjv@Job:28:12 @ But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
kjv@Job:28:13 @ Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
kjv@Job:28:14 @ The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
kjv@Job:28:15 @ It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
kjv@Job:28:16 @ It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
kjv@Job:28:17 @ The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
kjv@Job:28:18 @ No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
kjv@Job:28:19 @ The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
kjv@Job:28:20 @ Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
kjv@Job:28:21 @ Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
kjv@Job:28:22 @ Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
kjv@Job:28:23 @ God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
kjv@Job:28:24 @ For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
kjv@Job:28:25 @ To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
kjv@Job:28:26 @ When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
kjv@Job:28:27 @ Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
kjv@Job:28:28 @ And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
kjv@Job:29:1 @ Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
kjv@Job:29:2 @ Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
kjv@Job:29:3 @ When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
kjv@Job:29:4 @ As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
kjv@Job:29:5 @ When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
kjv@Job:29:6 @ When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
kjv@Job:29:7 @ When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
kjv@Job:29:8 @ The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
kjv@Job:29:9 @ The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
kjv@Job:29:10 @ The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
kjv@Job:29:11 @ When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
kjv@Job:29:12 @ Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
kjv@Job:29:13 @ The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
kjv@Job:29:14 @ I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
kjv@Job:29:15 @ I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
kjv@Job:29:16 @ I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
kjv@Job:29:17 @ And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
kjv@Job:29:18 @ Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
kjv@Job:29:19 @ My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
kjv@Job:29:20 @ My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
kjv@Job:29:21 @ Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
kjv@Job:29:22 @ After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
kjv@Job:29:23 @ And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
kjv@Job:29:24 @ If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
kjv@Job:29:25 @ I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
kjv@Job:30:1 @ 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.
kjv@Job:30:2 @ Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
kjv@Job:30:3 @ For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
kjv@Job:30:4 @ Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
kjv@Job:30:5 @ They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
kjv@Job:30:6 @ To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
kjv@Job:30:7 @ Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
kjv@Job:30:8 @ They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
kjv@Job:30:9 @ And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
kjv@Job:30:10 @ They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
kjv@Job:30:11 @ Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
kjv@Job:30:12 @ Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
kjv@Job:30:13 @ They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
kjv@Job:30:14 @ They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
kjv@Job:30:15 @ Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
kjv@Job:30:16 @ And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
kjv@Job:30:17 @ My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
kjv@Job:30:18 @ By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
kjv@Job:30:19 @ He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
kjv@Job:30:20 @ I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
kjv@Job:30:21 @ Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
kjv@Job:30:22 @ Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
kjv@Job:30:23 @ For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
kjv@Job:30:24 @ Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
kjv@Job:30:25 @ Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
kjv@Job:30:26 @ When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
kjv@Job:30:27 @ My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
kjv@Job:30:28 @ I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
kjv@Job:30:29 @ I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
kjv@Job:30:30 @ My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
kjv@Job:30:31 @ My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
kjv@Job:31:1 @ I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
