noyes@Info @ RIGTHS:
noyes@Info @ PUBLISHER:
noyes@Job:1:1 @ In the land of Uz lived a man whose name was Job. He was an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil.
noyes@Job:1:2 @ He had seven sons and three daughters.
noyes@Job:1:3 @ His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred sheasses, and a great number of servants; so that he was the greatest of all the inhabitants of the East.
noyes@Job:1:4 @ Now it was the custom of his sons to make a feast in their houses, each on his day, and to send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.
noyes@Job:1:5 @ And when the days of their feasting had gone round, Job used to send for them and sanctify them, and to rise up early in the morning and offer burntofferings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.
noyes@Job:1:6 @ Now on a certain day the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them.
noyes@Job:1:7 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it.
noyes@Job:1:8 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil?
noyes@Job:1:9 @ Then Satan answered Jehovah, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?
noyes@Job:1:10 @ Hast thou not placed a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all his possessions? Thou hast prospered the work of his hands, and his herds are greatly increased in the land.
noyes@Job:1:11 @ But only put forth thy hand, and touch whatever he possesseth, and to thy face will he renounce thee.
noyes@Job:1:12 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; but upon him lay not thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.
noyes@Job:1:13 @ Now on a certain day the sons and daughters of Job were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house,
noyes@Job:1:14 @ when a messenger came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them,
noyes@Job:1:15 @ and the Sabaeans fell upon them, and took them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
noyes@Job:1:16 @ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
noyes@Job:1:17 @ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldaeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and carried them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
noyes@Job:1:18 @ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brothers house;
noyes@Job:1:19 @ and, lo! there came a great wind from the desert, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.
noyes@Job:1:20 @ Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;
noyes@Job:1:21 @ and said, Naked came I forth from my mothers womb, and naked shall I return thither. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!
noyes@Job:1:22 @ In all this Job sinned not, nor uttered vain words against God.
noyes@Job:2:1 @ Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.
noyes@Job:2:2 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it.
noyes@Job:2:3 @ Then said Jehovah to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him upon the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst excite me against him to destroy him without a cause.
noyes@Job:2:4 @ And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.
noyes@Job:2:5 @ But put forth now thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and to thy face will he renounce thee.
noyes@Job:2:6 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; but spare his life.
noyes@Job:2:7 @ Then Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.
noyes@Job:2:8 @ And he took a potsherd to scrape himself withal, and sat down among the ashes.
noyes@Job:2:9 @ Then said his wife to him, Dost thou still retain thine integrity? Renounce God, and die.
noyes@Job:2:10 @ But he said to her, Thou talkest like one of the foolish women. What! shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this, Job sinned not with his lips.
noyes@Job:2:11 @ Now three friends of Job heard of all this evil that had come upon him, and came each one from his home; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite; for they had agreed to come to mourn with him, and to comfort him.
noyes@Job:2:12 @ And they lifted up their eyes at a distance, and knew him not; then they raised their voices and wept, and rent each one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
noyes@Job:2:13 @ And they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word to him; for they saw that his grief was very great.
noyes@Job:3:1 @ At length Job opened his mouth, and cursed the day of his birth.
noyes@Job:3:2 @ And Job spake and said:
noyes@Job:3:3 @ Perish the day in which I was born, and the night which said, "A manchild is conceived!"
noyes@Job:3:4 @ Let that day be darkness; Let not God seek it from above; Yea, let not the light shine upon it!
noyes@Job:3:5 @ Let darkness and the shadow of death redeem it; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let whatever darkeneth the day terrify it!
noyes@Job:3:6 @ As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months!
noyes@Job:3:7 @ O let that night be unfruitful! Let there be in it no voice of joy;
noyes@Job:3:8 @ Let them that curse the day curse it, Who are skilful to stir up the leviathan!
noyes@Job:3:9 @ Let the stars of its twilight be darkened; Let it long for light, and have none; Neither let it see the eyelashes of the morning!
noyes@Job:3:10 @ Because it shut not up the doors of my mothers womb, And hid not trouble from mine eyes.
noyes@Job:3:11 @ Why died I not at my birth? Why did I not expire when I came forth from the womb?
noyes@Job:3:12 @ Why did the knees receive me, And why the breasts, that I might suck?
noyes@Job:3:13 @ For now should I lie down and be quiet; I should sleep; then should I be at rest,
noyes@Job:3:14 @ With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up for themselvesruins!
noyes@Job:3:15 @ Or with princes that had gold, And filled their houses with silver;
noyes@Job:3:16 @ Or, as a hidden untimely birth, I had perished; As infants which never saw the light.
noyes@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease from troubling; There the weary are at rest.
noyes@Job:3:18 @ There the prisoners rest together; They hear not the voice of the oppressor.
noyes@Job:3:19 @ The small and the great are there, And the servant is free from his master.
noyes@Job:3:20 @ Why giveth He light to him that is in misery, And life to the bitter in soul,
noyes@Job:3:21 @ Who long for death, and it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;
noyes@Job:3:22 @ Who rejoice exceedingly, Yea, exult, when they can find a grave?
noyes@Job:3:23 @ Why is light given to a man from whom the way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?
noyes@Job:3:24 @ For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groans are poured out like water.
noyes@Job:3:25 @ For that which I dread overtaketh me; That at which I shudder cometh upon me.
noyes@Job:3:26 @ I have no peace, nor quiet, nor respite: Misery cometh upon me continually.
noyes@Job:4:1 @ Then spake Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
noyes@Job:4:2 @ If one attempt a word with thee, wilt thou be offended? But who can refrain from speaking?
noyes@Job:4:3 @ Behold, thou hast admonished many; Thou hast strengthened feeble hands;
noyes@Job:4:4 @ Thy words have upheld him that was falling, And thou hast given strength to feeble knees.
noyes@Job:4:5 @ But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art confounded!
noyes@Job:4:6 @ Is not thy fear of God thy hope, And the uprightness of thy ways thy confidence?
noyes@Job:4:7 @ Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? Or where have the righteous been cut off?
noyes@Job:4:8 @ According to what I have seen, they who plough iniquity, And sow mischief, reap the same.
noyes@Job:4:9 @ By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of his nostrils they are consumed.
noyes@Job:4:10 @ The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken.
noyes@Job:4:11 @ The fierce lion perisheth for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.
noyes@Job:4:12 @ A word was once secretly brought to me, And mine ear caught a whisper thereof.
noyes@Job:4:13 @ Amid thoughts from visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men,
noyes@Job:4:14 @ A fear and a horror came upon me, Which made all my bones to shake.
noyes@Job:4:15 @ Then a spirit passed before my face, The hair of my flesh rose on end;
noyes@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but its form I could not discern; An image was before mine eyes; There was silence, and I heard a voice:
noyes@Job:4:17 @ "Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall man be more pure than his Maker?
noyes@Job:4:18 @ Behold, he putteth no trust in his ministering spirits, And his angels he chargeth with frailty.
noyes@Job:4:19 @ What then are they who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who crumble to pieces, as if motheaten!
noyes@Job:4:20 @ Between morning and evening are they destroyed; They perish for ever, and none regardeth it.
noyes@Job:4:21 @ The excellency that is in them is torn away; They die before they have become wise."
noyes@Job:5:1 @ Call now, see if any will answer thee! And to which of the holy ones wilt thou look?
noyes@Job:5:2 @ Verily grief destroyeth the fool, And wrath consumeth the weak man.
noyes@Job:5:3 @ I have seen an impious man taking root, But soon I cursed his habitation.
noyes@Job:5:4 @ His children are far from safety; They are oppressed at the gate, and there is none to deliver them.
noyes@Job:5:5 @ His harvest the hungry devour, Carrying it even through the thorns; And a snare gapeth after his substance.
noyes@Job:5:6 @ For affliction cometh not from the dust, Nor doth trouble spring up from the ground;
noyes@Job:5:7 @ Behold, man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward.
noyes@Job:5:8 @ I would look to God, And to God would I commit my cause,
noyes@Job:5:9 @ Who doeth great things and unsearchable; Yea, marvellous things without number;
noyes@Job:5:10 @ Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth water upon the fields;
noyes@Job:5:11 @ Who placeth the lowly in high places, And restoreth the afflicted to prosperity;
noyes@Job:5:12 @ Who disappointeth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprises;
noyes@Job:5:13 @ Who taketh the wise in their own craftiness, And bringeth to nought the counsel of the artful.
noyes@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the daytime; They grope at noon as if it were night.
noyes@Job:5:15 @ So he saveth the persecuted from their mouth; The oppressed from the hand of the mighty.
noyes@Job:5:16 @ So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
noyes@Job:5:17 @ Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.
noyes@Job:5:18 @ For he bruiseth, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole.
noyes@Job:5:19 @ In six troubles will he deliver thee; Yea, in seven shall no evil touch thee.
noyes@Job:5:20 @ In famine he will redeem thee from death, And in war from the power of the sword.
noyes@Job:5:21 @ Thou shalt be safe from the scourge of the tongue, And shalt not be afraid of destruction, when it cometh.
noyes@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh, And of the wild beasts of the land shalt thou not be afraid.
noyes@Job:5:23 @ For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; Yea, the beasts of the forest shall be at peace with thee.
noyes@Job:5:24 @ Thou shalt find that thy tent is in peace; Thou shalt visit thy dwelling, and not be disappointed.
noyes@Job:5:25 @ Thou shalt see thy descendants numerous, And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.
noyes@Job:5:26 @ Thou shalt come to thy grave in full age, As a shock of corn gathered in its season.
noyes@Job:5:27 @ Lo! this we have searched out; so it is: Hear it, and lay it up in thy mind!
noyes@Job:6:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
noyes@Job:6:2 @ O that my grief were weighed thoroughly! That my calamities were put together in the balance!
noyes@Job:6:3 @ Surely they would be heavier than the sand of the sea; On this account were my words rash.
noyes@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; Their poison drinketh up my spirit; The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.
noyes@Job:6:5 @ Doth the wild ass bray in the midst of grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
noyes@Job:6:6 @ Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg?
noyes@Job:6:7 @ That which my soul abhorreth to touch Hath become my loathsome food.
noyes@Job:6:8 @ O that I might have my request, And that God would grant me that which I long for!
noyes@Job:6:9 @ That it would please God to destroy me; That he would let loose his hand, and make an end of me!
noyes@Job:6:10 @ Yet it should still be my consolation, Yea, in unsparing anguish I would exult, That I have not denied the commands of the Holy One.
noyes@Job:6:11 @ What is my strength, that I should hope? And what mine end, that I should be patient?
noyes@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh brass?
noyes@Job:6:13 @ Alas, there is no help within me! Deliverance is driven from me!
noyes@Job:6:14 @ To the afflicted, kindness should be shown by a friend; Else he casteth off the fear of the Almighty.
noyes@Job:6:15 @ But my brethren are faithless like a brook; Like streams of the valley that pass away;
noyes@Job:6:16 @ Which are turbid by reason of the ice, And the snow, which hideth itself in them.
noyes@Job:6:17 @ As soon as they flow forth, they vanish; When the heat cometh, they are dried up from their place.
noyes@Job:6:18 @ The caravans turn aside to them on their way; They go up into the desert, and perish.
noyes@Job:6:19 @ The caravans of Tema look for them; The companies of Sheba expect to see them;
noyes@Job:6:20 @ They are ashamed that they have relied on them; They come to their place, and are confounded.
noyes@Job:6:21 @ So ye also are nothing; Ye see a terror, and shrink back.
noyes@Job:6:22 @ Have I said, Bring me gifts? Or, Give a present for me out of your substance?
noyes@Job:6:23 @ Or, Deliver me from the enemys hand? Or, Rescue me from the hand of the violent?
noyes@Job:6:24 @ Convince me, and I will hold my peace; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
noyes@Job:6:25 @ How powerful are the words of truth! But what do your reproaches prove?
noyes@Job:6:26 @ Do ye mean to censure words? The words of a man in despair are but wind.
noyes@Job:6:27 @ Truly ye spread a net for the fatherless; Ye dig a pit for your friend.
noyes@Job:6:28 @ Look now upon me, I pray you; For to your very face can I speak falsehood?
noyes@Job:6:29 @ Return, I pray, and let there be no unfairness; Yea, return; still is my cause righteous.
noyes@Job:6:30 @ Is there iniquity on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern what is sinful?
noyes@Job:7:1 @ Is there not a warservice for man on the earth? Are not his days as the days of a hireling?
noyes@Job:7:2 @ As a servant panteth for the shade, And as a hireling looketh for his wages,
noyes@Job:7:3 @ So am I made to possess months of affliction, And wearisome nights are appointed for me.
noyes@Job:7:4 @ If I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? And I am full of restlessness until the dawning of the day.
noyes@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is clothed with worms, and clods of dust; My skin is broken and become loathsome.
noyes@Job:7:6 @ My days are swifter than a weavers shuttle; They pass away without hope.
noyes@Job:7:7 @ O remember that my life is a breath; That mine eye shall no more see good!
noyes@Job:7:8 @ The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more; Thine eyes shall look for me, but I shall not be.
noyes@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud dissolveth and wasteth away, So he that goeth down to the grave shall arise no more;
noyes@Job:7:10 @ No more shall he return to his house, And his dwellingplace shall know him no more.
noyes@Job:7:11 @ Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
noyes@Job:7:12 @ Am I a sea, or a seamonster, That thou settest a watch over me?
noyes@Job:7:13 @ When I say, My bed shall relieve me, My couch shall ease my complaint,
noyes@Job:7:14 @ Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me with visions;
noyes@Job:7:15 @ So that my soul chooseth strangling, Yea, death, rather than these my bones.
noyes@Job:7:16 @ I am wasting away; I shall not live alway: Let me alone, for my days are a vapor!
noyes@Job:7:17 @ What is man, that thou shouldst make great account him, And fix thy mind upon him?
noyes@Job:7:18 @ That thou shouldst visit him every morning, And prove him every moment?
noyes@Job:7:19 @ How long ere thou wilt look away from me, And let me alone, till I have time to breathe?
noyes@Job:7:20 @ If I have sinned, what have I done to thee, O thou watcher of men! Why hast thou set me up as thy mark, So that I have become a burden to myself?
noyes@Job:7:21 @ And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, And take away mine iniquity? (note:)(7:22)(:note) For soon shall I sleep in the dust; And, though thou seek me diligently, I shall not be.
noyes@Job:8:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
noyes@Job:8:2 @ How long wilt thou speak such things? How long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
noyes@Job:8:3 @ Will God pervert judgment? Or will the Almighty pervert justice?
noyes@Job:8:4 @ As thy children sinned against him, He hath given them up to their transgression.
noyes@Job:8:5 @ But if thou wilt seek early to God, And make thy supplication to the Almighty,
noyes@Job:8:6 @ If thou wilt be pure and upright, Surely he will yet arise for thee, And prosper thy righteous habitation;
noyes@Job:8:7 @ So that thy beginning shall be small, And thy latter end very great.
noyes@Job:8:8 @ For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, And mark what hath been searched out by their fathers;
noyes@Job:8:9 @ (For we are of yesterday and know nothing, Since our days upon the earth are but a shadow;)
noyes@Job:8:10 @ Will not they instruct thee, and tell thee, And utter words from their understanding?
noyes@Job:8:11 @ "Can the paperreed grow up without mire? Can the bulrush grow without water?
noyes@Job:8:12 @ While it is yet in its greenness, and is not cut down, It withereth before any other herb.
noyes@Job:8:13 @ Such is the fate of all who forget God; So perisheth the hope of the ungodly.
noyes@Job:8:14 @ His confidence shall come to nought, And his trust shall prove a spiders web.
noyes@Job:8:15 @ He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand; He shall lay fast hold on it, but it shall not endure.
noyes@Job:8:16 @ He is in full green before the sun, And his branches shoot forth over his garden;
noyes@Job:8:17 @ His roots are entwined about the heap, And he seeth the place of stones;
noyes@Job:8:18 @ When he shall be destroyed from his place, It shall deny him, saying, I never saw thee.
noyes@Job:8:19 @ Lo! such is the joy of his course! And others shall spring up from his place"
noyes@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not cast away an upright man; Nor will he help the evildoers.
noyes@Job:8:21 @ While he filleth thy mouth with laughter, And thy lips with gladness,
noyes@Job:8:22 @ They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame, And the dwellingplace of the wicked shall come to nought.
noyes@Job:9:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
noyes@Job:9:2 @ Of a truth, I know that it is so: For how can man be just before God?
noyes@Job:9:3 @ If he choose to contend with him, He cannot answer him to one charge of a thousand.
noyes@Job:9:4 @ He is excellent in wisdom, mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?
noyes@Job:9:5 @ He removeth the mountains, and they know it not; He overturneth them in his anger.
noyes@Job:9:6 @ He shaketh the earth out of her place, And the pillars thereof tremble.
noyes@Job:9:7 @ He commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And he sealeth up the stars.
noyes@Job:9:8 @ He alone spreadeth out the heavens, And walketh upon the high waves of the sea.
noyes@Job:9:9 @ He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the secret chambers of the South.
noyes@Job:9:10 @ He doeth great things past finding out, Yea, wonderful things without number.
noyes@Job:9:11 @ Lo! he goeth by me, but I see him not; He passeth along, but I do not perceive him.
noyes@Job:9:12 @ Lo! he seizeth, and who can hinder him? Who will say to him, What doest thou?
noyes@Job:9:13 @ God will not turn away his anger; The proud helpers are brought low before him.
noyes@Job:9:14 @ How much less shall I answer him, And choose out words to contend with him?
noyes@Job:9:15 @ Though I were innocent, I would not answer him; I would cast myself on the mercy of my judge.
noyes@Job:9:16 @ Should I call, and he make answer to me, I could not believe that he listened to my voice,
noyes@Job:9:17 @ He who falleth upon me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause!
noyes@Job:9:18 @ Who will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness!
noyes@Job:9:19 @ If I look to strength, "Lo! here am I!" If to justice, "Who shall summon me to trial?"
noyes@Job:9:20 @ Though I were upright, yet must my own mouth condemn me; Though I were innocent, He would prove me perverse.
noyes@Job:9:21 @ Though I were innocent, I would not care for myself; I would despise my life.
noyes@Job:9:22 @ It is all one; therefore I will affirm, He destroyeth the righteous and the wicked alike.
noyes@Job:9:23 @ When the scourge bringeth sudden destruction, He laugheth at the sufferings of the innocent.
noyes@Job:9:24 @ The earth is given into the hands of the wicked; He covereth the face of the judges thereof; If it be not He, who is it?
noyes@Job:9:25 @ My days have been swifter than a courier; They have fled away; they have seen no good.
noyes@Job:9:26 @ They have gone by like the reedskiffs; Like the eagle, darting upon his prey.
noyes@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my lamentation, I will change my countenance, and take courage,
noyes@Job:9:28 @ Still am I in dread of the multitude of my sorrows; For I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
noyes@Job:9:29 @ I shall be found guilty; Why then should I labor in vain?
noyes@Job:9:30 @ If I wash myself in snow, And cleanse my hands with lye,
noyes@Job:9:31 @ Still wilt thou plunge me into the pit, So that my own clothes will abhor me.
noyes@Job:9:32 @ For He is not a man, as I am, that I may contend with him, And that we may go together into judgment;
noyes@Job:9:33 @ There is no umpire between us, Who may lay his hand upon us both.
noyes@Job:9:34 @ Let him take from me his rod, And not dismay me with his terrors,
noyes@Job:9:35 @ Then I will speak, and not be afraid of him: For I am not so at heart.
noyes@Job:10:1 @ I am weary of my life; I will let loose within me my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
noyes@Job:10:2 @ I will say unto God, Do not condemn me! Show me wherefore thou contendest with me!
noyes@Job:10:3 @ Is it a pleasure to thee to oppress, And to despise the work of thy hands, And to shine upon the plans of the wicked?
noyes@Job:10:4 @ Hast thou eyes of flesh, Or seest thou as man seeth?
noyes@Job:10:5 @ Are thy days as the days of a man, Are thy years as the days of a mortal,
noyes@Job:10:6 @ That thou seekest after my iniquity, And searchest after my sin,
noyes@Job:10:7 @ Though thou knowest that I am not guilty, And that none can deliver from thy hand?
noyes@Job:10:8 @ Have thy hands completely fashioned and made me In every part, that thou mightst destroy me?
noyes@Job:10:9 @ O remember that thou hast moulded me as clay! And wilt thou bring me again to dust?
noyes@Job:10:10 @ Thou didst pour me out as milk, And curdle me as cheese;
noyes@Job:10:11 @ With skin and flesh didst thou clothe me, And strengthen me with bones and sinews;
noyes@Job:10:12 @ Thou didst grant me life and favor, And thy protection preserved my breath:
noyes@Job:10:13 @ Yet these things thou didst lay up in thy heart! I know that this was in thy mind.
noyes@Job:10:14 @ If I sin, then thou markest me, And wilt not acquit me of mine iniquity.
noyes@Job:10:15 @ If I am wicked,then woe unto me! Yet if righteous, I dare not lift up my head; I am full of confusion, beholding my affliction.
noyes@Job:10:16 @ If I lift it up, like a lion thou huntest me, And again showest thyself terrible unto me.
noyes@Job:10:17 @ Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine anger toward me; New hosts continually rise up against me.
noyes@Job:10:18 @ Why then didst thou bring me forth from the womb? I should have perished, and no eye had seen me;
noyes@Job:10:19 @ I should be as though I had not been; I should have been borne from the womb to the grave.
noyes@Job:10:20 @ Are not my days few? O spare then, And let me alone, that I may be at ease a little while,
noyes@Job:10:21 @ Before I go whence I shall not returnTo the land of darkness and deathshade,
