lesserot - Job:12-14

lesserot@Job:12:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:12:2 @ Truly ye are indeed the people, and with you wisdom must die out.

lesserot@Job:12:3 @ I also have sense like you; I do not fall short compared with you: and who possesseth not such things as these?

lesserot@Job:12:4 @ I am as one laughed at by his friend, who calleth upon God, while he answered him: a laughingstock though righteous and innocent.

lesserot@Job:12:5 @ To the unfortunate there is given contempt according to the thoughts of him that is at ease prepared for those whose foot slippeth.

lesserot@Job:12:6 @ Prosperous are the tents of robbers, and security is given to those that provoke God. to him who carrieth his god in his hand.

lesserot@Job:12:7 @ Yet, do only ask of the beasts, and they will instruct thee; and the fowls of the heavens, and they will tell it thee;

lesserot@Job:12:8 @ Or speak to the earth, and she will instruct thee; and the fishes of the sea will inform thee

lesserot@Job:12:9 @ Who knoweth not through all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

lesserot@Job:12:10 @ in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all the bodies of men?

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

lesserot@Job:12:12 @ So It with the ancients wisdom, and with length of days understanding,

lesserot@Job:12:13 @ That with him are wisdom and strength, his are counsel and understanding.

lesserot@Job:12:14 @ Behold, he pulleth down, and there can be no rebuilding: he locketh upon a man, and there can be no opening,

lesserot@Job:12:15 @ Behold, he restraineth the waters, and they dry up; or he suffereth them to flow, and they overturn the earth.

lesserot@Job:12:16 @ With him are strength and counsel: his are the deceived and the deceiver.

lesserot@Job:12:17 @ He leadeth counsellors away bereft of sense, and maketh the judges fools.

lesserot@Job:12:18 @ He looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth a girdle around their loins.

lesserot@Job:12:19 @ He leadeth priests away bereft of sense, and the powerful he causeth to walk on crooked paths.

lesserot@Job:12:20 @ He removeth the speech from trusty speakers, and taketh away the intelligence of the aged.

lesserot@Job:12:21 @ He poureth contempt upon princes, and the belt of the mighty be looseneth.

lesserot@Job:12:22 @ He layeth open deep things from the midst of darkness, and bringeth out unto light the shadow of death.

lesserot@Job:12:23 @ He permitteth the nations to become great, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth out the nations, and leadeth them away.

lesserot@Job:12:24 @ He taketh away the sense of the chiefs of the people of the land, and causeth them to wander astray in a wilderness when there is no way.

lesserot@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light, and he causeth them to wander astray like a drunken man.

lesserot@Job:13:1 @ Lo, all hath my eye seen, my ear hath heard and noted it for itself;

lesserot@Job:13:2 @ As much as ye know, do I also know: I do not fall short compared with you.

lesserot@Job:13:3 @ However, I would gladly speak to the Almighty; and to argue with God do I desire.

lesserot@Job:13:4 @ But ye are inventors of falsehood, physicians of no value are all of you.

lesserot@Job:13:5 @ Oh, who would grant that ye might keep a profound silences! and it would he accounted unto you as wisdom.

lesserot@Job:13:6 @ Do hearken but to my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

lesserot@Job:13:7 @ Will ye speak wrong things for God? and will ye speak for him deceitfully?

lesserot@Job:13:8 @ Will ye show him undue favor, when ye contend for God?

lesserot@Job:13:9 @ Will it be well if he should search you out? or as one overreacheth another mortal, do ye expect to overreach him?

lesserot@Job:13:10 @ He will surely reprove you, if in secret you show him undue favor.

lesserot@Job:13:11 @ Doth not his excellency terrify you? and his dread fall upon you?

lesserot@Job:13:12 @ The things you remember are mere proverbs of ashes, your highplaces are highplaces of clay.

lesserot@Job:13:13 @ Keep silence toward me, that I may indeed speak, and let pass over me what will.

lesserot@Job:13:14 @ Whatever it may cost, I will take my flesh in my teeth, and my life will I put in my hand.

lesserot@Job:13:15 @ Lo, though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: only I will argue my own ways before him.

lesserot@Job:13:16 @ Even he will come to my assistance; for a hypocrite cannot come before him.

lesserot@Job:13:17 @ Listen well to my word, and to my demonstration with your ears.

lesserot@Job:13:18 @ Behold now, I have arrayed my cause: I know that I shall be indeed justified.

lesserot@Job:13:19 @ Who is he that will contend with me? for now, if I keep silence, I must perish.

lesserot@Job:13:20 @ Only two things do not unto me: then will I not hide myself from thy presence.

lesserot@Job:13:21 @ Remove thy hand far from me; and let not thy dread terrify me.

lesserot@Job:13:22 @ Then call thou, and I will answer; or let me speak, and do thou reply to me.

lesserot@Job:13:23 @ How many are my iniquities and sins? my transgression and my sin let me know.

lesserot@Job:13:24 @ Wherefore wilt thou hide thy face, and regard me as an enemy unto thee?

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

lesserot@Job:13:26 @ That thou writest bitter decrees against me, and assignest unto me the iniquities of my youth;

lesserot@Job:13:27 @ And thou puttest my feet in the stocks, and watchest narrowly all my paths; settest for thyself a mark upon the soles of my feet?

lesserot@Job:13:28 @ And yet the body decayeth like a rotten thing, as a garment that the moth hath eaten.

lesserot@Job:14:1 @ Man born of a woman is short of days, and sated with harrowing trouble.

lesserot@Job:14:2 @ Like a flower he cometh forth, and is cut down: and he fleeth like a shadow, and remaineth not.

lesserot@Job:14:3 @ And yet on such a one dost thou open thy eyes, and me thou bringest into judgment with thee?

lesserot@Job:14:4 @ Who can make a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.

lesserot@Job:14:5 @ Seeing that his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, that thou hast set his bounds which he cannot pass:

lesserot@Job:14:6 @ Turn thyself from him that he may recover from his pain, and be able to enjoy like a hired laborer his day.

lesserot@Job:14:7 @ For there is hope for the tree: if it be cut down, it may still sprout again, while its young shoot will not cease.

lesserot@Job:14:8 @ If even its root become old in the earth, and its stock die in the dust:

lesserot@Job:14:9 @ Yet through the scent of water will it flourish, and produce boughs as though It were newly planted.

lesserot@Job:14:10 @ But man dieth, and lieth powerless: yea, the son of earth departethand where is he?

lesserot@Job:14:11 @ The waters run off from the sea, and the river faileth and drieth up:

lesserot@Job:14:12 @ So doth man lie down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they will not awake, and will not be roused out of their sleep.

lesserot@Job:14:13 @ Oh who would grant that thou mightest hide me in the nether world, that thou mightest conceal me, until thy wrath be appeased, that thou mightest set for me a fixed time, and remember me then!

lesserot@Job:14:14 @ Or, when a man dieth, will he live again? all the days of my time of service would I then wait, till my release were come.

lesserot@Job:14:15 @ Do thou call, and I will truly answer thee: have a desire for the work of thy hands.

lesserot@Job:14:16 @ Yet now thou numberest my steps: and thou waitest not with my sin.

lesserot@Job:14:17 @ Sealed up in a bag is my transgression, and thou yet addest to my iniquity.

lesserot@Job:14:18 @ But truly a falling mountain will crumble, and a rock is moved out of its place.

lesserot@Job:14:19 @ The water weareth out stones; thou sweepest away their fragments the dust of the earth: and so thou destroyest the hope of man.

lesserot@Job:14:20 @ Thou assailest him with might without ceasing, till he passeth away: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him off.

lesserot@Job:14:21 @ His children acquire honor, but he knoweth it not: and they are esteemed little, but he perceiveth nothing of them.

lesserot@Job:14:22 @ But his body. on him, feeleth pain, and his soul will mourn for him.

lesserot@Job:15:1 @ Then answered Eliphaz the Themanite, and said,
