dby - Job:12-14

dby@Job:12:1 @ And Job answered and said,

dby@Job:12:2 @ Truly ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you!

dby@Job:12:3 @ I also have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you; and who knoweth not such things as these?

dby@Job:12:4 @ I am to be one that is a derision to his friend, I who call upon +God, and whom he will answer: a derision is the just upright [man].

dby@Job:12:5 @ He that is ready to stumble with the foot is a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.

dby@Job:12:6 @ The tents of desolators are in peace, and they that provoke �God are secure; into whose hand +God bringeth.

dby@Job:12:7 @ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowl of the heavens, and they shall tell thee;

dby@Job:12:8 @ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; and the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

dby@Job:12:9 @ Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this?

dby@Job:12:10 @ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.

dby@Job:12:11 @ Doth not the ear try words, as the palate tasteth food?

dby@Job:12:12 @ With the aged is wisdom, and in length of days understanding.

dby@Job:12:13 @ With him is wisdom and might; he hath counsel and understanding.

dby@Job:12:14 @ Behold, he breaketh down, and it is not built again; he shutteth up a man, and there is no opening.

dby@Job:12:15 @ Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up; and he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

dby@Job:12:16 @ With him is strength and effectual knowledge; the deceived and the deceiver are his.

dby@Job:12:17 @ He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and judges maketh he fools;

dby@Job:12:18 @ He weakeneth the government of kings, and bindeth their loins with a fetter;

dby@Job:12:19 @ He leadeth priests away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty;

dby@Job:12:20 @ He depriveth of speech the trusty, and taketh away the judgment of the elders;

dby@Job:12:21 @ He poureth contempt upon nobles, and slackeneth the girdle of the mighty;

dby@Job:12:22 @ He discovereth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth out into light the shadow of death;

dby@Job:12:23 @ He increaseth the nations, and destroyeth them; he spreadeth out the nations, and bringeth them in;

dby@Job:12:24 @ He taketh away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a pathless waste.

dby@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunkard.

dby@Job:13:1 @ Lo, mine eye hath seen all [this], mine ear hath heard and understood it.

dby@Job:13:2 @ What ye know, I know also: I am not inferior to you.

dby@Job:13:3 @ But I will speak to the Almighty, and will find pleasure in reasoning with �God;

dby@Job:13:4 @ For ye indeed are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

dby@Job:13:5 @ Oh that ye would be altogether silent! and it would be your wisdom.

dby@Job:13:6 @ Hear now my defence, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

dby@Job:13:7 @ Will ye speak unrighteously for �God? and for him speak deceit?

dby@Job:13:8 @ Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for �God?

dby@Job:13:9 @ Will it be well if he should search you out? or as one mocketh at a man, will ye mock at him?

dby@Job:13:10 @ He will certainly reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.

dby@Job:13:11 @ Shall not his excellency terrify you? and his dread fall upon you?

dby@Job:13:12 @ Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, your bulwarks are bulwarks of mire.

dby@Job:13:13 @ Hold your peace from me, and I will speak, and let come on me what [will]!

dby@Job:13:14 @ Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?

dby@Job:13:15 @ Behold, if he slay me, yet would I trust in him; but I will defend mine own ways before him.

dby@Job:13:16 @ This also shall be my salvation, that a profane man shall not come before his face.

dby@Job:13:17 @ Hear attentively my speech and my declaration with your ears.

dby@Job:13:18 @ Behold now, I have ordered the cause; I know that I shall be justified.

dby@Job:13:19 @ Who is he that contendeth with me? For if I were silent now, I should expire.

dby@Job:13:20 @ Only do not two things unto me; then will I not hide myself from thee.

dby@Job:13:21 @ Withdraw thy hand far from me; and let not thy terror make me afraid:

dby@Job:13:22 @ Then call, and I will answer; or I will speak, and answer thou me.

dby@Job:13:23 @ How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.

dby@Job:13:24 @ Wherefore dost thou hide thy face, and countest me for thine enemy?

dby@Job:13:25 @ Wilt thou terrify a driven leaf? and wilt thou pursue dry stubble?

dby@Job:13:26 @ For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth;

dby@Job:13:27 @ And thou puttest my feet in the stocks, and markest all my paths; thou settest a bound about the soles of my feet; --

dby@Job:13:28 @ One who, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that the moth eateth.

dby@Job:14:1 @ Man, born of woman, is of few days, and full of trouble.

dby@Job:14:2 @ He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down; and he fleeth as a shadow, and continueth not.

dby@Job:14:3 @ Yet dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bringest me into judgment with thee?

dby@Job:14:4 @ Who can bring a clean [man] out of the unclean? Not one!

dby@Job:14:5 @ If his days are determined, if the number of his months is with thee, [and] thou hast appointed his bounds which he must not pass,

dby@Job:14:6 @ Look away from him; and let him rest, till he accomplish, as a hireling, his day.

dby@Job:14:7 @ For there is hope for a tree: if it be cut down, it will sprout again, and its tender branch will not cease;

dby@Job:14:8 @ Though its root grow old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground,

dby@Job:14:9 @ Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a young plant.

dby@Job:14:10 @ But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?

dby@Job:14:11 @ The waters recede from the lake, and the river wasteth and drieth up:

dby@Job:14:12 @ So man lieth down, and riseth not again; till the heavens be no more, they do not awake, nor are raised out of their sleep.

dby@Job:14:13 @ Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest keep me secret until thine anger be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me, --

dby@Job:14:14 @ (If a man die, shall he live [again]?) all the days of my time of toil would I wait, till my change should come:

dby@Job:14:15 @ Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee; thou wouldest have a desire after the work of thy hands.

dby@Job:14:16 @ For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?

dby@Job:14:17 @ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou heapest up mine iniquity.

dby@Job:14:18 @ And indeed a mountain falling cometh to nought, and the rock is removed out of its place;

dby@Job:14:19 @ The waters wear the stones, the floods thereof wash away the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.

dby@Job:14:20 @ Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth away; thou changest his countenance, and dismissest him.

dby@Job:14:21 @ His sons come to honour, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, and he perceiveth it not.

dby@Job:14:22 @ But his flesh hath pain for himself alone, and his soul mourneth for himself.

dby@Job:15:1 @ And Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,
