strkjv - Job:21-30

strkjv@Job:21:1 @ But Job answered and said,

strkjv@Job:21:2 @ Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.

strkjv@Job:21:3 @ Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.

strkjv@Job:21:4 @ As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?

strkjv@Job:21:5 @ Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

strkjv@Job:21:6 @ Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.

strkjv@Job:21:7 @ Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?

strkjv@Job:21:8 @ Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

strkjv@Job:21:9 @ Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.

strkjv@Job:21:10 @ Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

strkjv@Job:21:11 @ They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.

strkjv@Job:21:12 @ They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.

strkjv@Job:21:13 @ They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave sh@.

strkjv@Job:21:14 @ Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

strkjv@Job:21:15 @ What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

strkjv@Job:21:16 @ Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

strkjv@Job:21:17 @ How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.

strkjv@Job:21:18 @ They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.

strkjv@Job:21:19 @ God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

strkjv@Job:21:20 @ His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

strkjv@Job:21:21 @ For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

strkjv@Job:21:22 @ Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.

strkjv@Job:21:23 @ One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.

strkjv@Job:21:24 @ His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.

strkjv@Job:21:25 @ And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.

strkjv@Job:21:26 @ They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

strkjv@Job:21:27 @ Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

strkjv@Job:21:28 @ For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

strkjv@Job:21:29 @ Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,

strkjv@Job:21:30 @ That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

strkjv@Job:21:31 @ Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

strkjv@Job:21:32 @ Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.

strkjv@Job:21:33 @ The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.

strkjv@Job:21:34 @ How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?

strkjv@Job:22:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,

strkjv@Job:22:2 @ Can a man be profitable unto God, as he that is wise may be profitable unto himself?

strkjv@Job:22:3 @ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

strkjv@Job:22:4 @ Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?

strkjv@Job:22:5 @ Is not thy wickedness great? and thine iniquities infinite?

strkjv@Job:22:6 @ For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

strkjv@Job:22:7 @ Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

strkjv@Job:22:8 @ But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

strkjv@Job:22:9 @ Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

strkjv@Job:22:10 @ Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;

strkjv@Job:22:11 @ Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

strkjv@Job:22:12 @ Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

strkjv@Job:22:13 @ And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

strkjv@Job:22:14 @ Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

strkjv@Job:22:15 @ Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

strkjv@Job:22:16 @ Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

strkjv@Job:22:17 @ Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

strkjv@Job:22:18 @ Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

strkjv@Job:22:19 @ The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

strkjv@Job:22:20 @ Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

strkjv@Job:22:21 @ Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

strkjv@Job:22:22 @ Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

strkjv@Job:22:23 @ If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

strkjv@Job:22:24 @ Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

strkjv@Job:22:25 @ Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

strkjv@Job:22:26 @ For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

strkjv@Job:22:27 @ Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

strkjv@Job:22:28 @ Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

strkjv@Job:22:29 @ When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

strkjv@Job:22:30 @ He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

strkjv@Job:23:1 @ Then Job answered and said,

strkjv@Job:23:2 @ Even to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heavier than my groaning.

strkjv@Job:23:3 @ Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

strkjv@Job:23:4 @ I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

strkjv@Job:23:5 @ I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

strkjv@Job:23:6 @ Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.

strkjv@Job:23:7 @ There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

strkjv@Job:23:8 @ Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:

strkjv@Job:23:9 @ On the left hand s@, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

strkjv@Job:23:10 @ But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

strkjv@Job:23:11 @ My foot hath held his steps, his way have I kept, and not declined.

strkjv@Job:23:12 @ Neither have I gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have esteemed the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

strkjv@Job:23:13 @ But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

strkjv@Job:23:14 @ For he performeth the thing that is appointed for me: and many such things are with him.

strkjv@Job:23:15 @ Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.

strkjv@Job:23:16 @ For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:

strkjv@Job:23:17 @ Because I was not cut off before the darkness, neither hath he covered the darkness from my face.

strkjv@Job:24:1 @ Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

strkjv@Job:24:2 @ Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.

strkjv@Job:24:3 @ They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widows ox for a pledge.

strkjv@Job:24:4 @ They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide themselves together.

strkjv@Job:24:5 @ 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.

strkjv@Job:24:6 @ They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.

strkjv@Job:24:7 @ They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no covering in the cold.

strkjv@Job:24:8 @ They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

strkjv@Job:24:9 @ They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.

strkjv@Job:24:10 @ They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the sheaf from the hungry;

strkjv@Job:24:11 @ Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

strkjv@Job:24:12 @ Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.

strkjv@Job:24:13 @ They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

strkjv@Job:24:14 @ The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in the night is as a thief.

strkjv@Job:24:15 @ The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

strkjv@Job:24:16 @ In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

strkjv@Job:24:17 @ 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.

strkjv@Job:24:18 @ He is swift as the waters ; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

strkjv@Job:24:19 @ Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those which have sinned.

strkjv@Job:24:20 @ The womb shall forget 8799) him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.

strkjv@Job:24:21 @ He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.

strkjv@Job:24:22 @ He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

strkjv@Job:24:23 @ Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.

strkjv@Job:24:24 @ They are exalted for a little while m@, 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.

strkjv@Job:24:25 @ And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

strkjv@Job:25:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

strkjv@Job:25:2 @ Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

strkjv@Job:25:3 @ Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

strkjv@Job:25:4 @ How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

strkjv@Job:25:5 @ Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

strkjv@Job:25:6 @ How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

strkjv@Job:26:1 @ But Job answered and said,

strkjv@Job:26:2 @ How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

strkjv@Job:26:3 @ How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

strkjv@Job:26:4 @ To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

strkjv@Job:26:5 @ Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

strkjv@Job:26:6 @ Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

strkjv@Job:26:7 @ He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

strkjv@Job:26:8 @ He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

strkjv@Job:26:9 @ He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

strkjv@Job:26:10 @ He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

strkjv@Job:26:11 @ The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof g@.

strkjv@Job:26:12 @ He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

strkjv@Job:26:13 @ By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

strkjv@Job:26:14 @ 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?

strkjv@Job:27:1 @ Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

strkjv@Job:27:2 @ As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul;

strkjv@Job:27:3 @ All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

strkjv@Job:27:4 @ My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

strkjv@Job:27:5 @ God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove mine integrity from me.

strkjv@Job:27:6 @ My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

strkjv@Job:27:7 @ Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

strkjv@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

strkjv@Job:27:9 @ Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

strkjv@Job:27:10 @ Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?

strkjv@Job:27:11 @ I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

strkjv@Job:27:12 @ Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?

strkjv@Job:27:13 @ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

strkjv@Job:27:14 @ If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

strkjv@Job:27:15 @ Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.

strkjv@Job:27:16 @ Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

strkjv@Job:27:17 @ He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

strkjv@Job:27:18 @ He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

strkjv@Job:27:19 @ The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

strkjv@Job:27:20 @ Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.

strkjv@Job:27:21 @ The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.

strkjv@Job:27:22 @ For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.

strkjv@Job:27:23 @ Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

strkjv@Job:28:1 @ Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.

strkjv@Job:28:2 @ Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.

strkjv@Job:28:3 @ He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

strkjv@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.

strkjv@Job:28:5 @ As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.

strkjv@Job:28:6 @ The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.

strkjv@Job:28:7 @ There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vultures eye hath not seen:

strkjv@Job:28:8 @ The lions whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.

strkjv@Job:28:9 @ He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.

strkjv@Job:28:10 @ He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.

strkjv@Job:28:11 @ He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.

strkjv@Job:28:12 @ But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

strkjv@Job:28:13 @ Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

strkjv@Job:28:14 @ The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.

strkjv@Job:28:15 @ It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

strkjv@Job:28:16 @ It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

strkjv@Job:28:17 @ The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.

strkjv@Job:28:18 @ No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.

strkjv@Job:28:19 @ The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

strkjv@Job:28:20 @ Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?

strkjv@Job:28:21 @ Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.

strkjv@Job:28:22 @ Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.

strkjv@Job:28:23 @ God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

strkjv@Job:28:24 @ For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

strkjv@Job:28:25 @ To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

strkjv@Job:28:26 @ When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

strkjv@Job:28:27 @ Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

strkjv@Job:28:28 @ And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

strkjv@Job:29:1 @ Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

strkjv@Job:29:2 @ Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;

strkjv@Job:29:3 @ When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;

strkjv@Job:29:4 @ As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;

strkjv@Job:29:5 @ When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

strkjv@Job:29:6 @ When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

strkjv@Job:29:7 @ When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!

strkjv@Job:29:8 @ The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.

strkjv@Job:29:9 @ The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.

strkjv@Job:29:10 @ The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

strkjv@Job:29:11 @ When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

strkjv@Job:29:12 @ Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.

strkjv@Job:29:13 @ The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widows heart to sing for joy.

strkjv@Job:29:14 @ I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.

strkjv@Job:29:15 @ I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.

strkjv@Job:29:16 @ I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

strkjv@Job:29:17 @ And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.

strkjv@Job:29:18 @ Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.

strkjv@Job:29:19 @ My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.

strkjv@Job:29:20 @ My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.

strkjv@Job:29:21 @ Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.

strkjv@Job:29:22 @ After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.

strkjv@Job:29:23 @ And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

strkjv@Job:29:24 @ If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.

strkjv@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.

strkjv@Job:30:1 @ But now they that are younger H3117than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

strkjv@Job:30:2 @ Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?

strkjv@Job:30:3 @ For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste m@.

strkjv@Job:30:4 @ Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.

strkjv@Job:30:5 @ They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief; )

strkjv@Job:30:6 @ To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.

strkjv@Job:30:7 @ Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

strkjv@Job:30:8 @ They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

strkjv@Job:30:9 @ And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

strkjv@Job:30:10 @ They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

strkjv@Job:30:11 @ Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

strkjv@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.

strkjv@Job:30:13 @ They mar my path, they set forward my calamity , they have no helper.

strkjv@Job:30:14 @ They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.

strkjv@Job:30:15 @ Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.

strkjv@Job:30:16 @ And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

strkjv@Job:30:17 @ My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.

strkjv@Job:30:18 @ By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

strkjv@Job:30:19 @ He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

strkjv@Job:30:20 @ I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

strkjv@Job:30:21 @ Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.

strkjv@Job:30:22 @ Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance .

strkjv@Job:30:23 @ For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.

strkjv@Job:30:24 @ Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave b@, though they cry in his destruction.

strkjv@Job:30:25 @ Did not I weep for him that was in trouble ? was not my soul grieved for the poor?

strkjv@Job:30:26 @ When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

strkjv@Job:30:27 @ My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.

strkjv@Job:30:28 @ I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

strkjv@Job:30:29 @ I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls .

strkjv@Job:30:30 @ My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.

strkjv@Job:30:31 @ My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

strkjv@Job:31:1 @ I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
