ukjv - Job:40-42

ukjv@Job:40:1 @ Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,

ukjv@Job:40:2 @ Shall he that contends with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproves God, let him answer it.

ukjv@Job:40:3 @ Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

ukjv@Job:40:4 @ Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer you? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

ukjv@Job:40:5 @ Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

ukjv@Job:40:6 @ Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

ukjv@Job:40:7 @ Gird up your loins now like a man: I will demand of you, and declare you unto me.

ukjv@Job:40:8 @ Will you also nullify my judgment? will you condemn me, that you may be righteous?

ukjv@Job:40:9 @ Have you an arm like God? or can you thunder with a voice like him?

ukjv@Job:40:10 @ Deck yourself now with majesty and excellency; and array yourself with glory and beauty.

ukjv@Job:40:11 @ Cast abroad the rage of your wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and bring low him.

ukjv@Job:40:12 @ Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

ukjv@Job:40:13 @ Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

ukjv@Job:40:14 @ Then will I also confess unto you that yours own right hand can save you.

ukjv@Job:40:15 @ Behold now behemoth, which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox.

ukjv@Job:40:16 @ Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

ukjv@Job:40:17 @ He moves his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

ukjv@Job:40:18 @ His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

ukjv@Job:40:19 @ He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

ukjv@Job:40:20 @ Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

ukjv@Job:40:21 @ He lies under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

ukjv@Job:40:22 @ The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

ukjv@Job:40:23 @ Behold, he drinks up a river, and hastes not: he trusts that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

ukjv@Job:40:24 @ He takes it with his eyes: his nose pierces through snares.

ukjv@Job:41:1 @ Can you draw out leviathan (p. sea serpent) with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?

ukjv@Job:41:2 @ Can you put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

ukjv@Job:41:3 @ Will he make many supplications unto you? will he speak soft words unto you?

ukjv@Job:41:4 @ Will he make a covenant with you? will you take him for a servant for ever?

ukjv@Job:41:5 @ Will you play with him as with a bird? or will you bind him for your maidens?

ukjv@Job:41:6 @ Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

ukjv@Job:41:7 @ Can you fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

ukjv@Job:41:8 @ Lay yours hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

ukjv@Job:41:9 @ Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

ukjv@Job:41:10 @ None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

ukjv@Job:41:11 @ Who has prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

ukjv@Job:41:12 @ I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

ukjv@Job:41:13 @ Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

ukjv@Job:41:14 @ Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

ukjv@Job:41:15 @ His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

ukjv@Job:41:16 @ One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

ukjv@Job:41:17 @ They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

ukjv@Job:41:18 @ By his exhaling a light does shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

ukjv@Job:41:19 @ Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

ukjv@Job:41:20 @ Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

ukjv@Job:41:21 @ His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth.

ukjv@Job:41:22 @ In his neck remains strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

ukjv@Job:41:23 @ The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

ukjv@Job:41:24 @ His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

ukjv@Job:41:25 @ When he raises up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

ukjv@Job:41:26 @ The sword of him that lays at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the armour of jacket.

ukjv@Job:41:27 @ He esteems iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

ukjv@Job:41:28 @ The arrow cannot make him flee: sling stones are turned with him into stubble.

ukjv@Job:41:29 @ Darts are counted as stubble: he laughs at the shaking of a spear.

ukjv@Job:41:30 @ Sharp stones are under him: he spreads sharp pointed things upon the mire.

ukjv@Job:41:31 @ He makes the deep to boil like a pot: he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.

ukjv@Job:41:32 @ He makes a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

ukjv@Job:41:33 @ Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

ukjv@Job:41:34 @ He beholds all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

ukjv@Job:42:1 @ Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

ukjv@Job:42:2 @ I know that you can do every thing, and that no thought can be withheld from you.

ukjv@Job:42:3 @ Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

ukjv@Job:42:4 @ Hear, I plead to you, and I will speak: I will demand of you, and declare you unto me.

ukjv@Job:42:5 @ I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye sees you.

ukjv@Job:42:6 @ Wherefore I detest myself, and repent in dust and ashes.

ukjv@Job:42:7 @ And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for all of you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

ukjv@Job:42:8 @ Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that all of you have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.

ukjv@Job:42:9 @ So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.

ukjv@Job:42:10 @ And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

ukjv@Job:42:11 @ Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

ukjv@Job:42:12 @ So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.

ukjv@Job:42:13 @ He had also seven sons and three daughters.

ukjv@Job:42:14 @ And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.

ukjv@Job:42:15 @ And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

ukjv@Job:42:16 @ After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

ukjv@Job:42:17 @ So Job died, being old and full of days.

ukjv@Ezekiel:14:14 @ Though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, says the Lord GOD.

ukjv@Ezekiel:14:20 @ Though Noah, Daniel, and Job were in it, as I live, says the Lord GOD, they shall deliver neither son nor daughter; they shall but deliver their own souls by their righteousness.

ukjv@James:5:11 @ Behold, we count them happy which endure. All of you have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the end of the Lord; that the Lord is very pitiful, and of tender mercy.
