ylt @Job:23:1 @And Job answereth and saith : -- ylt @Job:23:2 @Also -- to-day [is ] my complaint bitter , My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing . ylt @Job:23:3 @O that I had known -- and I find Him , I come in unto His seat , ylt @Job:23:4 @I arrange before Him the cause , And my mouth fill [with ] arguments . ylt @Job:23:5 @I know the words He doth answer me , And understand what He saith to me . ylt @Job:23:6 @In the abundance of power doth He strive with me ? No ! surely He putteth [it ] in me . ylt @Job:23:7 @There the upright doth reason with Him , And I escape for ever from my judge . ylt @Job:23:8 @Lo , forward I go -- and He is not , And backward -- and I perceive him not . ylt @Job:23:9 @[To ] the left in His working -- and I see not , He is covered [on ] the right , and I behold not . ylt @Job:23:10 @For He hath known the way with me , He hath tried me -- as gold I go forth . ylt @Job:23:11 @On His step hath my foot laid hold , His way I have kept , and turn not aside , ylt @Job:23:12 @The command of His lips , and I depart not . Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth . ylt @Job:23:13 @And He [is ] in one [mind ], And who doth turn Him back ? And His soul hath desired -- and He doth [it ]. ylt @Job:23:14 @For He doth complete my portion , And many such things [are ] with Him . ylt @Job:23:15 @Therefore , from His presence I am troubled , I consider , and am afraid of Him . ylt @Job:23:16 @And God hath made my heart soft , And the Mighty hath troubled me . ylt @Job:23:17 @For I have not been cut off before darkness , And before me He covered thick darkness . ylt @Job:24:1 @Wherefore from the Mighty One Times have not been hidden , And those knowing Him have not seen His days . ylt @Job:24:2 @The borders they reach , A drove they have taken violently away , Yea , they do evil . ylt @Job:24:3 @The ass of the fatherless they lead away , They take in pledge the ox of the widow , ylt @Job:24:4 @They turn aside the needy from the way , Together have hid the poor of the earth . ylt @Job:24:5 @Lo , wild asses in a wilderness , They have gone out about their work , Seeking early for prey , A mixture for himself -- food for young ones . ylt @Job:24:6 @In a field his provender they reap , And the vineyard of the wicked they glean . ylt @Job:24:7 @The naked they cause to lodge Without clothing . And there is no covering in the cold . ylt @Job:24:8 @From the inundation of hills they are wet , And without a refuge -- have embraced a rock . ylt @Job:24:9 @They take violently away From the breast the orphan , And on the poor they lay a pledge . ylt @Job:24:10 @Naked , they have gone without clothing , And hungry -- have taken away a sheaf . ylt @Job:24:11 @Between their walls they make oil , Wine-presses they have trodden , and thirst . ylt @Job:24:12 @Because of enmity men do groan , And the soul of pierced ones doth cry , And God doth not give praise . ylt @Job:24:13 @They have been among rebellious ones of light , They have not discerned His ways , Nor abode in His paths . ylt @Job:24:14 @At the light doth the murderer rise , He doth slay the poor and needy , And in the night he is as a thief . ylt @Job:24:15 @And the eye of an adulterer Hath observed the twilight , Saying , 'No eye doth behold me .' And he putteth the face in secret . ylt @Job:24:16 @He hath dug in the darkness -- houses ; By day they shut themselves up , They have not known light . ylt @Job:24:17 @When together , morning [is ] to them death shade , When he discerneth the terrors of death shade . ylt @Job:24:18 @Light he [is ] on the face of the waters , Vilified is their portion in the earth , He turneth not the way of vineyards . ylt @Job:24:19 @Drought -- also heat -- consume snow-waters , Sheol [those who ] have sinned . ylt @Job:24:20 @Forget him doth the womb , Sweeten [on ] him doth the worm , No more is he remembered , And broken as a tree is wickedness . ylt @Job:24:21 @Treating evil the barren [who ] beareth not , And [to ] the widow he doth no good , ylt @Job:24:22 @And hath drawn the mighty by his power , He riseth , and none believeth in life . ylt @Job:24:23 @He giveth to him confidence , and he is supported , And his eyes [are ] on their ways . ylt @Job:24:24 @High they were [for ] a little , and they are not , And they have been brought low . As all [others ] they are shut up , And as the head of an ear of corn cut off . ylt @Job:24:25 @And if not now , who doth prove me a liar , And doth make of nothing my word ? ylt @Job:25:1 @And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith : --
