nasb@Job:1:3 @His possessions also were 7,000 sheep, 3,000 camels, 500 yoke of oxen, 500 female donkeys, and very many servants; and that man was the greatest of all the men of the east.

nasb@Job:1:13 @Now on the day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

nasb@Job:2:3 @The LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job? For there is no one like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man fearing God and turning away from evil. And he still holds fast his integrity, although you incited Me against him to ruin him without cause."

nasb@Job:2:13 @Then they sat down on the ground with him for seven days and seven nights with no one speaking a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.

nasb@Job:3:1 @Afterward Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.

nasb@Job:3:2 @And Job said,

nasb@Job:3:3" @ Let the day perish on which I was to be born, And the night which said, 'A boy is conceived.'

nasb@Job:3:4" @May that day be darkness; Let not God above care for it, Nor light shine on it.

nasb@Job:3:5" @Let darkness and black gloom claim it; Let a cloud settle on it; Let the blackness of the day terrify it.

nasb@Job:3:6" @As for that night, let darkness seize it; Let it not rejoice among the days of the year; Let it not come into the number of the months.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Behold, let that night be barren; Let no joyful shout enter it.

nasb@Job:3:8" @Let those curse it who curse the day, Who are prepared to rouse Leviathan.

nasb@Job:3:9" @Let the stars of its twilight be darkened; Let it wait for light but have none, And let it not see the breaking dawn;

nasb@Job:3:10 @Because it did not shut the opening of my mother's womb, Or hide trouble from my eyes.

nasb@Job:3:11" @ Why did I not die at birth, Come forth from the womb and expire?

nasb@Job:3:12" @Why did the knees receive me, And why the breasts, that I should suck?

nasb@Job:3:13" @For now I would have lain down and been quiet; I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,

nasb@Job:3:14 @With kings and with counselors of the earth, Who rebuilt ruins for themselves;

nasb@Job:3:15 @Or with princes who had gold, Who were filling their houses with silver.

nasb@Job:3:16" @Or like a miscarriage which is discarded, I would not be, As infants that never saw light.

nasb@Job:3:17" @There the wicked cease from raging, And there the weary are at rest.

nasb@Job:3:18" @The prisoners are at ease together; They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster.

nasb@Job:3:19" @The small and the great are there, And the slave is free from his master.

nasb@Job:3:20" @Why is light given to him who suffers, And life to the bitter of soul,

nasb@Job:3:21 @Who long for death, but there is none, And dig for it more than for hidden treasures,

nasb@Job:3:22 @Who rejoice greatly, And exult when they find the grave?

nasb@Job:3:23" @Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in?

nasb@Job:3:24" @For my groaning comes at the sight of my food, And my cries pour out like water.

nasb@Job:3:25" @For what I fear comes upon me, And what I dread befalls me.

nasb@Job:3:26" @I am not at ease, nor am I quiet, And I am not at rest, but turmoil comes."

nasb@Job:3:4 @Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered,

nasb@Job:3:2" @If one ventures a word with you, will you become impatient? But who can refrain from speaking?

nasb@Job:3:3" @Behold you have admonished many, And you have strengthened weak hands.

nasb@Job:3:4" @Your words have helped the tottering to stand, And you have strengthened feeble knees.

nasb@Job:3:5" @But now it has come to you, and you are impatient; It touches you, and you are dismayed.

nasb@Job:3:6" @Is not your fear of God your confidence, And the integrity of your ways your hope?

nasb@Job:3:7" @Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright destroyed?

nasb@Job:3:8" @According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity And those who sow trouble harvest it.

nasb@Job:3:9" @By the breath of God they perish, And by the blast of His anger they come to an end.

nasb@Job:3:10" @The roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken.

nasb@Job:3:11" @The lion perishes for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered.

nasb@Job:3:12" @Now a word was brought to me stealthily, And my ear received a whisper of it.

nasb@Job:3:13" @Amid disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falls on men,

nasb@Job:3:14 @Dread came upon me, and trembling, And made all my bones shake.

nasb@Job:3:15" @Then a spirit passed by my face; The hair of my flesh bristled up.

nasb@Job:3:16" @It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance; A form was before my eyes; There was silence, then I heard a voice-

nasb@Job:3:17 @'Can mankind be just before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?

nasb@Job:3:18 @' He puts no trust even in His servants; And against His angels He charges error.

nasb@Job:3:19 @'How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!

nasb@Job:3:20 @' Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces; Unobserved, they perish forever.

nasb@Job:3:21 @'Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, yet without wisdom.'

nasb@Job:3:5" @Call now, is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?

nasb@Job:3:2" @For anger slays the foolish man, And jealousy kills the simple.

nasb@Job:3:3" @I have seen the foolish taking root, And I cursed his abode immediately.

nasb@Job:3:4" @His sons are far from safety, They are even oppressed in the gate, And there is no deliverer.

nasb@Job:3:5" @His harvest the hungry devour And take it to a place of thorns, And the schemer is eager for their wealth.

nasb@Job:3:6" @For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,

nasb@Job:3:7 @For man is born for trouble, As sparks fly upward.

nasb@Job:3:8" @But as for me, I would seek God, And I would place my cause before God;

nasb@Job:3:9 @Who does great and unsearchable things, Wonders without number.

nasb@Job:3:10" @He gives rain on the earth And sends water on the fields,

nasb@Job:3:11 @So that He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.

nasb@Job:3:12" @He frustrates the plotting of the shrewd, So that their hands cannot attain success.

nasb@Job:3:13" @He captures the wise by their own shrewdness, And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.

nasb@Job:3:14" @By day they meet with darkness, And grope at noon as in the night.

nasb@Job:3:15" @But He saves from the sword of their mouth, And the poor from the hand of the mighty.

nasb@Job:3:16" @So the helpless has hope, And unrighteousness must shut its mouth.

nasb@Job:3:17" @Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves, So do not despise the discipline of the Almighty.

nasb@Job:3:18" @For He inflicts pain, and gives relief; He wounds, and His hands also heal.

nasb@Job:3:19" @From six troubles He will deliver you, Even in seven evil will not touch you.

nasb@Job:3:20" @In famine He will redeem you from death, And in war from the power of the sword.

nasb@Job:3:21" @You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.

nasb@Job:3:22" @You will laugh at violence and famine, And you will not be afraid of wild beasts.

nasb@Job:3:23" @For you will be in league with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.

nasb@Job:3:24" @You will know that your tent is secure, For you will visit your abode and fear no loss.

nasb@Job:3:25" @You will know also that your descendants will be many, And your offspring as the grass of the earth.

nasb@Job:3:26" @You will come to the grave in full vigor, Like the stacking of grain in its season.

nasb@Job:3:27" @Behold this; we have investigated it, and so it is. Hear it, and know for yourself."

nasb@Job:3:6 @Then Job answered,

nasb@Job:3:2" @ Oh that my grief were actually weighed And laid in the balances together with my calamity!

nasb@Job:3:3" @For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; Therefore my words have been rash.

nasb@Job:3:4" @For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, Their poison my spirit drinks; The terrors of God are arrayed against me.

nasb@Job:3:5" @Does the wild donkey bray over his grass, Or does the ox low over his fodder?

nasb@Job:3:6" @Can something tasteless be eaten without salt, Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

nasb@Job:3:7" @My soul refuses to touch them; They are like loathsome food to me.

nasb@Job:3:8" @Oh that my request might come to pass, And that God would grant my longing!

nasb@Job:3:9" @Would that God were willing to crush me, That He would loose His hand and cut me off!

nasb@Job:3:10" @But it is still my consolation, And I rejoice in unsparing pain, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

nasb@Job:3:11" @What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should endure?

nasb@Job:3:12" @Is my strength the strength of stones, Or is my flesh bronze?

nasb@Job:3:13" @Is it that my help is not within me, And that deliverance is driven from me?

nasb@Job:3:14" @For the despairing man there should be kindness from his friend; So that he does not forsake the fear of the Almighty.

nasb@Job:3:15" @My brothers have acted deceitfully like a wadi, Like the torrents of wadis which vanish,

nasb@Job:3:16 @Which are turbid because of ice And into which the snow melts.

nasb@Job:3:17" @When they become waterless, they are silent, When it is hot, they vanish from their place.

nasb@Job:3:18" @The paths of their course wind along, They go up into nothing and perish.

nasb@Job:3:19" @The caravans of Tema looked, The travelers of Sheba hoped for them.

nasb@Job:3:20" @They were disappointed for they had trusted, They came there and were confounded.

nasb@Job:3:21" @Indeed, you have now become such, You see a terror and are afraid.

nasb@Job:3:22" @Have I said, 'Give me something,' Or, 'Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,'

nasb@Job:3:23 @Or, 'Deliver me from the hand of the adversary,' Or, 'Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants'?

nasb@Job:3:24" @Teach me, and I will be silent; And show me how I have erred.

nasb@Job:3:25" @How painful are honest words! But what does your argument prove?

nasb@Job:3:26" @Do you intend to reprove my words, When the words of one in despair belong to the wind?

nasb@Job:3:27" @You would even cast lots for the orphans And barter over your friend.

nasb@Job:3:28" @Now please look at me, And see if I lie to your face.

nasb@Job:3:29" @Desist now, let there be no injustice; Even desist, my righteousness is yet in it.

nasb@Job:3:30" @Is there injustice on my tongueNULL Cannot my palate discern calamitiesNULL

nasb@Job:3:7" @Is not man forced to labor on earth, And are not his days like the days of a hired man?

nasb@Job:3:2" @As a slave who pants for the shade, And as a hired man who eagerly waits for his wages,

nasb@Job:3:3 @So am I allotted months of vanity, And nights of trouble are appointed me.

nasb@Job:3:4" @When I lie down I say, 'When shall I arise?' But the night continues, And I am continually tossing until dawn.

nasb@Job:3:5" @My flesh is clothed with worms and a crust of dirt, My skin hardens and runs.

nasb@Job:3:6" @My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And come to an end without hope.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Remember that my life is but breath; My eye will not again see good.

nasb@Job:3:8" @The eye of him who sees me will behold me no longer; Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.

nasb@Job:3:9" @When a cloud vanishes, it is gone, So he who goes down to Sheol does not come up.

nasb@Job:3:10" @He will not return again to his house, Nor will his place know him anymore.

nasb@Job:3:11" @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.

nasb@Job:3:12" @Am I the sea, or the sea monster, That You set a guard over me?

nasb@Job:3:13" @If I say, ' My bed will comfort me, My couch will ease my complaint,'

nasb@Job:3:14 @Then You frighten me with dreams And terrify me by visions;

nasb@Job:3:15 @So that my soul would choose suffocation, Death rather than my pains.

nasb@Job:3:16" @I waste away; I will not live forever. Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.

nasb@Job:3:17" @ What is man that You magnify him, And that You are concerned about him,

nasb@Job:3:18 @That You examine him every morning And try him every moment?

nasb@Job:3:19" @ Will You never turn Your gaze away from me, Nor let me alone until I swallow my spittle?

nasb@Job:3:20" @ Have I sinned? What have I done to You, O watcher of men? Why have You set me as Your target, So that I am a burden to myself?

nasb@Job:3:21" @Why then do You not pardon my transgression And take away my iniquityNULL For now I will lie down in the dust; And You will seek me, but I will not be."

nasb@Job:3:8 @Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

nasb@Job:3:2" @How long will you say these things, And the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

nasb@Job:3:3" @Does God pervert justice? Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?

nasb@Job:3:4" @ If your sons sinned against Him, Then He delivered them into the power of their transgression.

nasb@Job:3:5" @If you would seek God And implore the compassion of the Almighty,

nasb@Job:3:6 @If you are pure and upright, Surely now He would rouse Himself for you And restore your righteous estate.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Though your beginning was insignificant, Yet your end will increase greatly.

nasb@Job:3:8" @Please inquire of past generations, And consider the things searched out by their fathers.

nasb@Job:3:9" @For we are only of yesterday and know nothing, Because our days on earth are as a shadow.

nasb@Job:3:10" @Will they not teach you and tell you, And bring forth words from their minds?

nasb@Job:3:11" @Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the rushes grow without water?

nasb@Job:3:12" @While it is still green and not cut down, Yet it withers before any other plant.

nasb@Job:3:13" @So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the godless will perish,

nasb@Job:3:14 @Whose confidence is fragile, And whose trust a spider's web.

nasb@Job:3:15" @He trusts in his house, but it does not stand; He holds fast to it, but it does not endure.

nasb@Job:3:16" @He thrives before the sun, And his shoots spread out over his garden.

nasb@Job:3:17" @His roots wrap around a rock pile, He grasps a house of stones.

nasb@Job:3:18" @If he is removed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, ' I never saw you.'

nasb@Job:3:19" @Behold, this is the joy of His way; And out of the dust others will spring.

nasb@Job:3:20" @Lo, God will not reject a man of integrity, Nor will He support the evildoers.

nasb@Job:3:21" @He will yet fill your mouth with laughter And your lips with shouting.

nasb@Job:3:22" @Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the tent of the wicked will be no longer."

nasb@Job:3:9 @Then Job answered,

nasb@Job:3:2" @In truth I know that this is so; But how can a man be in the right before God?

nasb@Job:3:3" @If one wished to dispute with Him, He could not answer Him once in a thousand times.

nasb@Job:3:4" @ Wise in heart and mighty in strength, Who has defied Him without harm?

nasb@Job:3:5" @ It is God who removes the mountains, they know not how, When He overturns them in His anger;

nasb@Job:3:6 @Who shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;

nasb@Job:3:7 @Who commands the sun not to shine, And sets a seal upon the stars;

nasb@Job:3:8 @Who alone stretches out the heavens And tramples down the waves of the sea;

nasb@Job:3:9 @Who makes the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;

nasb@Job:3:10 @Who does great things, unfathomable, And wondrous works without number.

nasb@Job:3:11" @Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; Were He to move past me, I would not perceive Him.

nasb@Job:3:12" @Were He to snatch away, who could restrain Him? Who could say to Him, ' What are You doing?'

nasb@Job:3:13" @God will not turn back His anger; Beneath Him crouch the helpers of Rahab.

nasb@Job:3:14" @How then can I answer Him, And choose my words before Him?

nasb@Job:3:15" @For though I were right, I could not answer; I would have to implore the mercy of my judge.

nasb@Job:3:16" @If I called and He answered me, I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.

nasb@Job:3:17" @For He bruises me with a tempest And multiplies my wounds without cause.

nasb@Job:3:18" @He will not allow me to get my breath, But saturates me with bitterness.

nasb@Job:3:19" @If it is a matter of power, behold, He is the strong one! And if it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?

nasb@Job:3:20" @ Though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me; Though I am guiltless, He will declare me guilty.

nasb@Job:3:21" @I am guiltless; I do not take notice of myself; I despise my life.

nasb@Job:3:22" @It is all one; therefore I say, 'He destroys the guiltless and the wicked.'

nasb@Job:3:23" @If the scourge kills suddenly, He mocks the despair of the innocent.

nasb@Job:3:24" @The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?

nasb@Job:3:25" @Now my days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they see no good.

nasb@Job:3:26" @They slip by like reed boats, Like an eagle that swoops on its prey.

nasb@Job:3:27" @Though I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my sad countenance and be cheerful,'

nasb@Job:3:28 @I am afraid of all my pains, I know that You will not acquit me.

nasb@Job:3:29" @I am accounted wicked, Why then should I toil in vain?

nasb@Job:3:30" @If I should wash myself with snow And cleanse my hands with lye,

nasb@Job:3:31 @Yet You would plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes would abhor me.

nasb@Job:3:32" @For He is not a man as I am that I may answer Him, That we may go to court together.

nasb@Job:3:33" @There is no umpire between us, Who may lay his hand upon us both.

nasb@Job:3:34" @Let Him remove His rod from me, And let not dread of Him terrify me.

nasb@Job:3:35" @Then I would speak and not fear Him; But I am not like that in myself.

nasb@Job:3:10" @ I loathe my own life; I will give full vent to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

nasb@Job:3:2" @I will say to God, ' Do not condemn me; Let me know why You contend with me.

nasb@Job:3:3 @'Is it right for You indeed to oppress, To reject the labor of Your hands, And to look favorably on the schemes of the wicked?

nasb@Job:3:4 @'Have You eyes of flesh? Or do You see as a man sees?

nasb@Job:3:5 @'Are Your days as the days of a mortal, Or Your years as man's years,

nasb@Job:3:6 @That You should seek for my guilt And search after my sin?

nasb@Job:3:7 @'According to Your knowledge I am indeed not guilty, Yet there is no deliverance from Your hand.

nasb@Job:3:8 @' Your hands fashioned and made me altogether, And would You destroy me?

nasb@Job:3:9 @'Remember now, that You have made me as clay; And would You turn me into dust again?

nasb@Job:3:10 @'Did You not pour me out like milk And curdle me like cheese;

nasb@Job:3:11 @Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews?

nasb@Job:3:12 @'You have granted me life and lovingkindness; And Your care has preserved my spirit.

nasb@Job:3:13 @'Yet these things You have concealed in Your heart; I know that this is within You-

nasb@Job:3:14 @If I sin, then You would take note of me, And would not acquit me of my guilt.

nasb@Job:3:15 @'If I am wicked, woe to me! And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head. I am sated with disgrace and conscious of my misery.

nasb@Job:3:16 @'Should my head be lifted up, You would hunt me like a lion; And again You would show Your power against me.

nasb@Job:3:17 @'You renew Your witnesses against me And increase Your anger toward me; Hardship after hardship is with me.

nasb@Job:3:18 @' Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Would that I had died and no eye had seen me!

nasb@Job:3:19 @'I should have been as though I had not been, Carried from womb to tomb.'

nasb@Job:3:20" @Would He not let my few days alone? Withdraw from me that I may have a little cheer

nasb@Job:3:21 @Before I go-- and I shall not return-- To the land of darkness and deep shadow,

nasb@Job:3:22 @The land of utter gloom as darkness itself, Of deep shadow without order, And which shines as the darkness."

nasb@Job:3:11 @Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,

nasb@Job:3:2" @Shall a multitude of words go unanswered, And a talkative man be acquitted?

nasb@Job:3:3" @Shall your boasts silence men? And shall you scoff and none rebuke?

nasb@Job:3:4" @For you have said, 'My teaching is pure, And I am innocent in your eyes.'

nasb@Job:3:5" @But would that God might speak, And open His lips against you,

nasb@Job:3:6 @And show you the secrets of wisdom! For sound wisdom has two sides. Know then that God forgets a part of your iniquity.

nasb@Job:3:7" @ Can you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?

nasb@Job:3:8" @They are high as the heavens, what can you do? Deeper than Sheol, what can you know?

nasb@Job:3:9" @Its measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea.

nasb@Job:3:10" @If He passes by or shuts up, Or calls an assembly, who can restrain Him?

nasb@Job:3:11" @For He knows false men, And He sees iniquity without investigating.

nasb@Job:3:12" @ An idiot will become intelligent When the foal of a wild donkey is born a man.

nasb@Job:3:13" @ If you would direct your heart right And spread out your hand to Him,

nasb@Job:3:14 @If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, And do not let wickedness dwell in your tents;

nasb@Job:3:15" @Then, indeed, you could lift up your face without moral defect, And you would be steadfast and not fear.

nasb@Job:3:16" @For you would forget your trouble, As waters that have passed by, you would remember it.

nasb@Job:3:17" @Your life would be brighter than noonday; Darkness would be like the morning.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Then you would trust, because there is hope; And you would look around and rest securely.

nasb@Job:3:19" @You would lie down and none would disturb you, And many would entreat your favor.

nasb@Job:3:20" @But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And there will be no escape for them; And their hope is to breathe their last."

nasb@Job:3:12 @Then Job responded,

nasb@Job:3:2" @Truly then you are the people, And with you wisdom will die!

nasb@Job:3:3" @But I have intelligence as well as you; I am not inferior to you. And who does not know such things as these?

nasb@Job:3:4" @I am a joke to my friends, The one who called on God and He answered him; The just and blameless man is a joke.

nasb@Job:3:5" @He who is at ease holds calamity in contempt, As prepared for those whose feet slip.

nasb@Job:3:6" @The tents of the destroyers prosper, And those who provoke God are secure, Whom God brings into their power.

nasb@Job:3:7" @But now ask the beasts, and let them teach you; And the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you.

nasb@Job:3:8" @Or speak to the earth, and let it teach you; And let the fish of the sea declare to you.

nasb@Job:3:9" @Who among all these does not know That the hand of the LORD has done this,

nasb@Job:3:10 @In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?

nasb@Job:3:11" @Does not the ear test words, As the palate tastes its food?

nasb@Job:3:12" @Wisdom is with aged men, With long life is understanding.

nasb@Job:3:13" @With Him are wisdom and might; To Him belong counsel and understanding.

nasb@Job:3:14" @Behold, He tears down, and it cannot be rebuilt; He imprisons a man, and there can be no release.

nasb@Job:3:15" @Behold, He restrains the waters, and they dry up; And He sends them out, and they inundate the earth.

nasb@Job:3:16" @With Him are strength and sound wisdom, The misled and the misleader belong to Him.

nasb@Job:3:17" @He makes counselors walk barefoot And makes fools of judges.

nasb@Job:3:18" @He loosens the bond of kings And binds their loins with a girdle.

nasb@Job:3:19" @He makes priests walk barefoot And overthrows the secure ones.

nasb@Job:3:20" @He deprives the trusted ones of speech And takes away the discernment of the elders.

nasb@Job:3:21" @He pours contempt on nobles And loosens the belt of the strong.

nasb@Job:3:22" @He reveals mysteries from the darkness And brings the deep darkness into light.

nasb@Job:3:23" @He makes the nations great, then destroys them; He enlarges the nations, then leads them away.

nasb@Job:3:24" @He deprives of intelligence the chiefs of the earth's people And makes them wander in a pathless waste.

nasb@Job:3:25" @They grope in darkness with no light, And He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

nasb@Job:3:13" @ Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it.

nasb@Job:3:2" @ What you know I also know; I am not inferior to you.

nasb@Job:3:3" @But I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to argue with God.

nasb@Job:3:4" @But you smear with lies; You are all worthless physicians.

nasb@Job:3:5" @O that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom!

nasb@Job:3:6" @Please hear my argument And listen to the contentions of my lips.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Will you speak what is unjust for God, And speak what is deceitful for Him?

nasb@Job:3:8" @Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for God?

nasb@Job:3:9" @Will it be well when He examines you? Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?

nasb@Job:3:10" @He will surely reprove you If you secretly show partiality.

nasb@Job:3:11" @Will not His majesty terrify you, And the dread of Him fall on you?

nasb@Job:3:12" @Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.

nasb@Job:3:13" @ Be silent before me so that I may speak; Then let come on me what may.

nasb@Job:3:14" @Why should I take my flesh in my teeth And put my life in my hands?

nasb@Job:3:15" @ Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.

nasb@Job:3:16" @This also will be my salvation, For a godless man may not come before His presence.

nasb@Job:3:17" @Listen carefully to my speech, And let my declaration fill your ears.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.

nasb@Job:3:19" @ Who will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.

nasb@Job:3:20" @Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face-

nasb@Job:3:21 @Remove Your hand from me, And let not the dread of You terrify me.

nasb@Job:3:22" @Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then reply to me.

nasb@Job:3:23" @ How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my rebellion and my sin.

nasb@Job:3:24" @Why do You hide Your face And consider me Your enemy?

nasb@Job:3:25" @Will You cause a driven leaf to tremble? Or will You pursue the dry chaff?

nasb@Job:3:26" @For You write bitter things against me And make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

nasb@Job:3:27" @You put my feet in the stocks And watch all my paths; You set a limit for the soles of my feet,

nasb@Job:3:28 @While I am decaying like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.

nasb@Job:3:14" @ Man, who is born of woman, Is short-lived and full of turmoil.

nasb@Job:3:2" @ Like a flower he comes forth and withers. He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.

nasb@Job:3:3" @You also open Your eyes on him And bring him into judgment with Yourself.

nasb@Job:3:4" @ Who can make the clean out of the unclean? No one!

nasb@Job:3:5" @Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; And his limits You have set so that he cannot pass.

nasb@Job:3:6" @ Turn Your gaze from him that he may rest, Until he fulfills his day like a hired man.

nasb@Job:3:7" @For there is hope for a tree, When it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And its shoots will not fail.

nasb@Job:3:8" @Though its roots grow old in the ground And its stump dies in the dry soil,

nasb@Job:3:9 @At the scent of water it will flourish And put forth sprigs like a plant.

nasb@Job:3:10" @But man dies and lies prostrate. Man expires, and where is he?

nasb@Job:3:11" @As water evaporates from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dried up,

nasb@Job:3:12 @So man lies down and does not rise. Until the heavens are no longer, He will not awake nor be aroused out of his sleep.

nasb@Job:3:13" @Oh that You would hide me in Sheol, That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You, That You would set a limit for me and remember me!

nasb@Job:3:14" @If a man dies, will he live again? All the days of my struggle I will wait Until my change comes.

nasb@Job:3:15" @You will call, and I will answer You; You will long for the work of Your hands.

nasb@Job:3:16" @For now You number my steps, You do not observe my sin.

nasb@Job:3:17" @My transgression is sealed up in a bag, And You wrap up my iniquity.

nasb@Job:3:18" @But the falling mountain crumbles away, And the rock moves from its place;

nasb@Job:3:19 @Water wears away stones, Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth; So You destroy man's hope.

nasb@Job:3:20" @You forever overpower him and he departs; You change his appearance and send him away.

nasb@Job:3:21" @His sons achieve honor, but he does not know it; Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it.

nasb@Job:3:22" @But his body pains him, And he mourns only for himself."

nasb@Job:3:15 @Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded,

nasb@Job:3:2" @Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge And fill himself with the east wind?

nasb@Job:3:3" @Should he argue with useless talk, Or with words which are not profitable?

nasb@Job:3:4" @Indeed, you do away with reverence And hinder meditation before God.

nasb@Job:3:5" @For your guilt teaches your mouth, And you choose the language of the crafty.

nasb@Job:3:6" @Your own mouth condemns you, and not I; And your own lips testify against you.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Were you the first man to be born, Or were you brought forth before the hills?

nasb@Job:3:8" @Do you hear the secret counsel of God, And limit wisdom to yourself?

nasb@Job:3:9" @ What do you know that we do not know? What do you understand that we do not?

nasb@Job:3:10" @Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, Older than your father.

nasb@Job:3:11" @Are the consolations of God too small for you, Even the word spoken gently with you?

nasb@Job:3:12" @Why does your heart carry you away? And why do your eyes flash,

nasb@Job:3:13 @That you should turn your spirit against God And allow such words to go out of your mouth?

nasb@Job:3:14" @What is man, that he should be pure, Or he who is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

nasb@Job:3:15" @Behold, He puts no trust in His holy ones, And the heavens are not pure in His sight;

nasb@Job:3:16 @How much less one who is detestable and corrupt, Man, who drinks iniquity like water!

nasb@Job:3:17" @I will tell you, listen to me; And what I have seen I will also declare;

nasb@Job:3:18 @What wise men have told, And have not concealed from their fathers,

nasb@Job:3:19 @To whom alone the land was given, And no alien passed among them.

nasb@Job:3:20" @The wicked man writhes in pain all his days, And numbered are the years stored up for the ruthless.

nasb@Job:3:21" @Sounds of terror are in his ears; While at peace the destroyer comes upon him.

nasb@Job:3:22" @He does not believe that he will return from darkness, And he is destined for the sword.

nasb@Job:3:23" @He wanders about for food, saying, 'Where is it?' He knows that a day of darkness is at hand.

nasb@Job:3:24" @Distress and anguish terrify him, They overpower him like a king ready for the attack,

nasb@Job:3:25 @Because he has stretched out his hand against God And conducts himself arrogantly against the Almighty.

nasb@Job:3:26" @He rushes headlong at Him With his massive shield.

nasb@Job:3:27" @For he has covered his face with his fat And made his thighs heavy with flesh.

nasb@Job:3:28" @He has lived in desolate cities, In houses no one would inhabit, Which are destined to become ruins.

nasb@Job:3:29" @He will not become rich, nor will his wealth endure; And his grain will not bend down to the ground.

nasb@Job:3:30" @He will not escape from darkness; The flame will wither his shoots, And by the breath of His mouth he will go away.

nasb@Job:3:31" @Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; For emptiness will be his reward.

nasb@Job:3:32" @It will be accomplished before his time, And his palm branch will not be green.

nasb@Job:3:33" @He will drop off his unripe grape like the vine, And will cast off his flower like the olive tree.

nasb@Job:3:34" @For the company of the godless is barren, And fire consumes the tents of the corrupt.

nasb@Job:3:35" @They conceive mischief and bring forth iniquity, And their mind prepares deception."

nasb@Job:3:16 @Then Job answered,

nasb@Job:3:2" @I have heard many such things; Sorry comforters are you all.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Is there no limit to windy words? Or what plagues you that you answer?

nasb@Job:3:4" @I too could speak like you, If I were in your place. I could compose words against you And shake my head at you.

nasb@Job:3:5" @I could strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips could lessen your pain.

nasb@Job:3:6" @If I speak, my pain is not lessened, And if I hold back, what has left me?

nasb@Job:3:7" @But now He has exhausted me; You have laid waste all my company.

nasb@Job:3:8" @You have shriveled me up, It has become a witness; And my leanness rises up against me, It testifies to my face.

nasb@Job:3:9" @His anger has torn me and hunted me down, He has gnashed at me with His teeth; My adversary glares at me.

nasb@Job:3:10" @They have gaped at me with their mouth, They have slapped me on the cheek with contempt; They have massed themselves against me.

nasb@Job:3:11" @God hands me over to ruffians And tosses me into the hands of the wicked.

nasb@Job:3:12" @I was at ease, but He shattered me, And He has grasped me by the neck and shaken me to pieces; He has also set me up as His target.

nasb@Job:3:13" @His arrows surround me. Without mercy He splits my kidneys open; He pours out my gall on the ground.

nasb@Job:3:14" @He breaks through me with breach after breach; He runs at me like a warrior.

nasb@Job:3:15" @I have sewed sackcloth over my skin And thrust my horn in the dust.

nasb@Job:3:16" @My face is flushed from weeping, And deep darkness is on my eyelids,

nasb@Job:3:17 @Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.

nasb@Job:3:18" @O earth, do not cover my blood, And let there be no resting place for my cry.

nasb@Job:3:19" @Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And my advocate is on high.

nasb@Job:3:20" @My friends are my scoffers; My eye weeps to God.

nasb@Job:3:21" @O that a man might plead with God As a man with his neighbor!

nasb@Job:3:22" @For when a few years are past, I shall go the way of no return.

nasb@Job:3:17" @My spirit is broken, my days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.

nasb@Job:3:2" @ Surely mockers are with me, And my eye gazes on their provocation.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Lay down, now, a pledge for me with Yourself; Who is there that will be my guarantor?

nasb@Job:3:4" @For You have kept their heart from understanding, Therefore You will not exalt them.

nasb@Job:3:5" @He who informs against friends for a share of the spoil, The eyes of his children also will languish.

nasb@Job:3:6" @But He has made me a byword of the people, And I am one at whom men spit.

nasb@Job:3:7" @My eye has also grown dim because of grief, And all my members are as a shadow.

nasb@Job:3:8" @The upright will be appalled at this, And the innocent will stir up himself against the godless.

nasb@Job:3:9" @Nevertheless the righteous will hold to his way, And he who has clean hands will grow stronger and stronger.

nasb@Job:3:10" @But come again all of you now, For I do not find a wise man among you.

nasb@Job:3:11" @My days are past, my plans are torn apart, Even the wishes of my heart.

nasb@Job:3:12" @They make night into day, saying, 'The light is near,' in the presence of darkness.

nasb@Job:3:13" @If I look for Sheol as my home, I make my bed in the darkness;

nasb@Job:3:14 @If I call to the pit, 'You are my father'; To the worm, 'my mother and my sister';

nasb@Job:3:15 @Where now is my hope? And who regards my hope?

nasb@Job:3:16" @Will it go down with me to SheolNULL Shall we together go down into the dustNULL"

nasb@Job:3:18 @Then Bildad the Shuhite responded,

nasb@Job:3:2" @How long will you hunt for words? Show understanding and then we can talk.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Why are we regarded as beasts, As stupid in your eyes?

nasb@Job:3:4" @O you who tear yourself in your anger-- For your sake is the earth to be abandoned, Or the rock to be moved from its place?

nasb@Job:3:5" @Indeed, the light of the wicked goes out, And the flame of his fire gives no light.

nasb@Job:3:6" @The light in his tent is darkened, And his lamp goes out above him.

nasb@Job:3:7" @His vigorous stride is shortened, And his own scheme brings him down.

nasb@Job:3:8" @For he is thrown into the net by his own feet, And he steps on the webbing.

nasb@Job:3:9" @A snare seizes him by the heel, And a trap snaps shut on him.

nasb@Job:3:10" @A noose for him is hidden in the ground, And a trap for him on the path.

nasb@Job:3:11" @All around terrors frighten him, And harry him at every step.

nasb@Job:3:12" @His strength is famished, And calamity is ready at his side.

nasb@Job:3:13" @His skin is devoured by disease, The firstborn of death devours his limbs.

nasb@Job:3:14" @He is torn from the security of his tent, And they march him before the king of terrors.

nasb@Job:3:15" @There dwells in his tent nothing of his; Brimstone is scattered on his habitation.

nasb@Job:3:16" @His roots are dried below, And his branch is cut off above.

nasb@Job:3:17" @ Memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name abroad.

nasb@Job:3:18" @He is driven from light into darkness, And chased from the inhabited world.

nasb@Job:3:19" @He has no offspring or posterity among his people, Nor any survivor where he sojourned.

nasb@Job:3:20" @Those in the west are appalled at his fate, And those in the east are seized with horror.

nasb@Job:3:21" @Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, And this is the place of him who does not know God."

nasb@Job:3:19 @Then Job responded,

nasb@Job:3:2" @How long will you torment me And crush me with words?

nasb@Job:3:3" @These ten times you have insulted me; You are not ashamed to wrong me.

nasb@Job:3:4" @Even if I have truly erred, My error lodges with me.

nasb@Job:3:5" @If indeed you vaunt yourselves against me And prove my disgrace to me,

nasb@Job:3:6 @Know then that God has wronged me And has closed His net around me.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Behold, I cry, 'Violence!' but I get no answer; I shout for help, but there is no justice.

nasb@Job:3:8" @He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass, And He has put darkness on my paths.

nasb@Job:3:9" @He has stripped my honor from me And removed the crown from my head.

nasb@Job:3:10" @He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone; And He has uprooted my hope like a tree.

nasb@Job:3:11" @He has also kindled His anger against me And considered me as His enemy.

nasb@Job:3:12" @His troops come together, And build up their way against me And camp around my tent.

nasb@Job:3:13" @He has removed my brothers far from me, And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.

nasb@Job:3:14" @My relatives have failed, And my intimate friends have forgotten me.

nasb@Job:3:15" @Those who live in my house and my maids consider me a stranger. I am a foreigner in their sight.

nasb@Job:3:16" @I call to my servant, but he does not answer; I have to implore him with my mouth.

nasb@Job:3:17" @My breath is offensive to my wife, And I am loathsome to my own brothers.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Even young children despise me; I rise up and they speak against me.

nasb@Job:3:19" @All my associates abhor me, And those I love have turned against me.

nasb@Job:3:20" @My bone clings to my skin and my flesh, And I have escaped only by the skin of my teeth.

nasb@Job:3:21" @Pity me, pity me, O you my friends, For the hand of God has struck me.

nasb@Job:3:22" @Why do you persecute me as God does, And are not satisfied with my flesh?

nasb@Job:3:23" @Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!

nasb@Job:3:24" @That with an iron stylus and lead They were engraved in the rock forever!

nasb@Job:3:25" @As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives, And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.

nasb@Job:3:26" @Even after my skin is destroyed, Yet from my flesh I shall see God;

nasb@Job:3:27 @Whom I myself shall behold, And whom my eyes will see and not another. My heart faints within me!

nasb@Job:3:28" @If you say, 'How shall we persecute him?' And 'What pretext for a case against him can we find?'

nasb@Job:3:29" @Then be afraid of the sword for yourselves, For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, So that you may know there is judgment."

nasb@Job:3:20 @Then Zophar the Naamathite answered,

nasb@Job:3:2" @Therefore my disquieting thoughts make me respond, Even because of my inward agitation.

nasb@Job:3:3" @I listened to the reproof which insults me, And the spirit of my understanding makes me answer.

nasb@Job:3:4" @Do you know this from of old, From the establishment of man on earth,

nasb@Job:3:5 @That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless momentary?

nasb@Job:3:6" @Though his loftiness reaches the heavens, And his head touches the clouds,

nasb@Job:3:7 @He perishes forever like his refuse; Those who have seen him will say, 'Where is he?'

nasb@Job:3:8" @He flies away like a dream, and they cannot find him; Even like a vision of the night he is chased away.

nasb@Job:3:9" @The eye which saw him sees him no longer, And his place no longer beholds him.

nasb@Job:3:10" @His sons favor the poor, And his hands give back his wealth.

nasb@Job:3:11" @His bones are full of his youthful vigor, But it lies down with him in the dust.

nasb@Job:3:12" @Though evil is sweet in his mouth And he hides it under his tongue,

nasb@Job:3:13 @Though he desires it and will not let it go, But holds it in his mouth,

nasb@Job:3:14 @Yet his food in his stomach is changed To the venom of cobras within him.

nasb@Job:3:15" @He swallows riches, But will vomit them up; God will expel them from his belly.

nasb@Job:3:16" @He sucks the poison of cobras; The viper's tongue slays him.

nasb@Job:3:17" @He does not look at the streams, The rivers flowing with honey and curds.

nasb@Job:3:18" @He returns what he has attained And cannot swallow it; As to the riches of his trading, He cannot even enjoy them.

nasb@Job:3:19" @For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor; He has seized a house which he has not built.

nasb@Job:3:20" @Because he knew no quiet within him, He does not retain anything he desires.

nasb@Job:3:21" @Nothing remains for him to devour, Therefore his prosperity does not endure.

nasb@Job:3:22" @In the fullness of his plenty he will be cramped; The hand of everyone who suffers will come against him.

nasb@Job:3:23" @When he fills his belly, God will send His fierce anger on him And will rain it on him while he is eating.

nasb@Job:3:24" @He may flee from the iron weapon, But the bronze bow will pierce him.

nasb@Job:3:25" @It is drawn forth and comes out of his back, Even the glittering point from his gall. Terrors come upon him,

nasb@Job:3:26 @Complete darkness is held in reserve for his treasures, And unfanned fire will devour him; It will consume the survivor in his tent.

nasb@Job:3:27" @The heavens will reveal his iniquity, And the earth will rise up against him.

nasb@Job:3:28" @The increase of his house will depart; His possessions will flow away in the day of His anger.

nasb@Job:3:29" @This is the wicked man's portion from God, Even the heritage decreed to him by God."

nasb@Job:3:21 @Then Job answered,

nasb@Job:3:2" @Listen carefully to my speech, And let this be your way of consolation.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Bear with me that I may speak; Then after I have spoken, you may mock.

nasb@Job:3:4" @As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?

nasb@Job:3:5" @Look at me, and be astonished, And put your hand over your mouth.

nasb@Job:3:6" @Even when I remember, I am disturbed, And horror takes hold of my flesh.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Why do the wicked still live, Continue on, also become very powerful?

nasb@Job:3:8" @Their descendants are established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes,

nasb@Job:3:9 @Their houses are safe from fear, And the rod of God is not on them.

nasb@Job:3:10" @His ox mates without fail; His cow calves and does not abort.

nasb@Job:3:11" @They send forth their little ones like the flock, And their children skip about.

nasb@Job:3:12" @They sing to the timbrel and harp And rejoice at the sound of the flute.

nasb@Job:3:13" @They spend their days in prosperity, And suddenly they go down to Sheol.

nasb@Job:3:14" @They say to God, ' Depart from us! We do not even desire the knowledge of Your ways.

nasb@Job:3:15 @'Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him, And what would we gain if we entreat Him?'

nasb@Job:3:16" @Behold, their prosperity is not in their hand; The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

nasb@Job:3:17" @How often is the lamp of the wicked put out, Or does their calamity fall on them? Does God apportion destruction in His anger?

nasb@Job:3:18" @Are they as straw before the wind, And like chaff which the storm carries away?

nasb@Job:3:19" @You say, ' God stores away a man's iniquity for his sons.' Let God repay him so that he may know it.

nasb@Job:3:20" @Let his own eyes see his decay, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

nasb@Job:3:21" @For what does he care for his household after him, When the number of his months is cut off?

nasb@Job:3:22" @Can anyone teach God knowledge, In that He judges those on high?

nasb@Job:3:23" @One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and satisfied;

nasb@Job:3:24 @His sides are filled out with fat, And the marrow of his bones is moist,

nasb@Job:3:25 @While another dies with a bitter soul, Never even tasting anything good.

nasb@Job:3:26" @Together they lie down in the dust, And worms cover them.

nasb@Job:3:27" @Behold, I know your thoughts, And the plans by which you would wrong me.

nasb@Job:3:28" @For you say, 'Where is the house of the nobleman, And where is the tent, the dwelling places of the wicked?'

nasb@Job:3:29" @Have you not asked wayfaring men, And do you not recognize their witness?

nasb@Job:3:30" @For the wicked is reserved for the day of calamity; They will be led forth at the day of fury.

nasb@Job:3:31" @Who will confront him with his actions, And who will repay him for what he has done?

nasb@Job:3:32" @While he is carried to the grave, Men will keep watch over his tomb.

nasb@Job:3:33" @The clods of the valley will gently cover him; Moreover, all men will follow after him, While countless ones go before him.

nasb@Job:3:34" @How then will you vainly comfort me, For your answers remain full of falsehoodNULL"

nasb@Job:3:22 @Then Eliphaz the Temanite responded,

nasb@Job:3:2" @Can a vigorous man be of use to God, Or a wise man be useful to himself?

nasb@Job:3:3" @Is there any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous, Or profit if you make your ways perfect?

nasb@Job:3:4" @Is it because of your reverence that He reproves you, That He enters into judgment against you?

nasb@Job:3:5" @Is not your wickedness great, And your iniquities without end?

nasb@Job:3:6" @For you have taken pledges of your brothers without cause, And stripped men naked.

nasb@Job:3:7" @To the weary you have given no water to drink, And from the hungry you have withheld bread.

nasb@Job:3:8" @But the earth belongs to the mighty man, And the honorable man dwells in it.

nasb@Job:3:9" @You have sent widows away empty, And the strength of the orphans has been crushed.

nasb@Job:3:10" @Therefore snares surround you, And sudden dread terrifies you,

nasb@Job:3:11 @Or darkness, so that you cannot see, And an abundance of water covers you.

nasb@Job:3:12" @Is not God in the height of heaven? Look also at the distant stars, how high they are!

nasb@Job:3:13" @You say, ' What does God know? Can He judge through the thick darkness?

nasb@Job:3:14 @' Clouds are a hiding place for Him, so that He cannot see; And He walks on the vault of heaven.'

nasb@Job:3:15" @Will you keep to the ancient path Which wicked men have trod,

nasb@Job:3:16 @Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundations were washed away by a river?

nasb@Job:3:17" @They said to God, 'Depart from us!' And 'What can the Almighty do to them?'

nasb@Job:3:18" @Yet He filled their houses with good things; But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

nasb@Job:3:19" @The righteous see and are glad, And the innocent mock them,

nasb@Job:3:20 @Saying, 'Truly our adversaries are cut off, And their abundance the fire has consumed.'

nasb@Job:3:21" @ Yield now and be at peace with Him; Thereby good will come to you.

nasb@Job:3:22" @Please receive instruction from His mouth And establish His words in your heart.

nasb@Job:3:23" @If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored; If you remove unrighteousness far from your tent,

nasb@Job:3:24 @And place your gold in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks,

nasb@Job:3:25 @Then the Almighty will be your gold And choice silver to you.

nasb@Job:3:26" @For then you will delight in the Almighty And lift up your face to God.

nasb@Job:3:27" @You will pray to Him, and He will hear you; And you will pay your vows.

nasb@Job:3:28" @You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you; And light will shine on your ways.

nasb@Job:3:29" @When you are cast down, you will speak with confidence, And the humble person He will save.

nasb@Job:3:30" @He will deliver one who is not innocent, And he will be delivered through the cleanness of your hands."

nasb@Job:3:23 @Then Job replied,

nasb@Job:3:2" @Even today my complaint is rebellion; His hand is heavy despite my groaning.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Oh that I knew where I might find Him, That I might come to His seat!

nasb@Job:3:4" @I would present my case before Him And fill my mouth with arguments.

nasb@Job:3:5" @I would learn the words which He would answer, And perceive what He would say to me.

nasb@Job:3:6" @Would He contend with me by the greatness of His power? No, surely He would pay attention to me.

nasb@Job:3:7" @There the upright would reason with Him; And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.

nasb@Job:3:8" @Behold, I go forward but He is not there, And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;

nasb@Job:3:9 @When He acts on the left, I cannot behold Him; He turns on the right, I cannot see Him.

nasb@Job:3:10" @But He knows the way I take; When He has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

nasb@Job:3:11" @My foot has held fast to His path; I have kept His way and not turned aside.

nasb@Job:3:12" @I have not departed from the command of His lips; I have treasured the words of His mouth more than my necessary food.

nasb@Job:3:13" @But He is unique and who can turn Him? And what His soul desires, that He does.

nasb@Job:3:14" @For He performs what is appointed for me, And many such decrees are with Him.

nasb@Job:3:15" @Therefore, I would be dismayed at His presence; When I consider, I am terrified of Him.

nasb@Job:3:16" @It is God who has made my heart faint, And the Almighty who has dismayed me,

nasb@Job:3:17 @But I am not silenced by the darkness, Nor deep gloom which covers me.

nasb@Job:3:24" @ Why are times not stored up by the Almighty, And why do those who know Him not see His days?

nasb@Job:3:2" @Some remove the landmarks; They seize and devour flocks.

nasb@Job:3:3" @They drive away the donkeys of the orphans; They take the widow's ox for a pledge.

nasb@Job:3:4" @They push the needy aside from the road; The poor of the land are made to hide themselves altogether.

nasb@Job:3:5" @Behold, as wild donkeys in the wilderness They go forth seeking food in their activity, As bread for their children in the desert.

nasb@Job:3:6" @They harvest their fodder in the field And glean the vineyard of the wicked.

nasb@Job:3:7" @ They spend the night naked, without clothing, And have no covering against the cold.

nasb@Job:3:8" @They are wet with the mountain rains And hug the rock for want of a shelter.

nasb@Job:3:9" @Others snatch the orphan from the breast, And against the poor they take a pledge.

nasb@Job:3:10" @They cause the poor to go about naked without clothing, And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.

nasb@Job:3:11" @Within the walls they produce oil; They tread wine presses but thirst.

nasb@Job:3:12" @From the city men groan, And the souls of the wounded cry out; Yet God does not pay attention to folly.

nasb@Job:3:13" @Others have been with those who rebel against the light; They do not want to know its ways Nor abide in its paths.

nasb@Job:3:14" @The murderer arises at dawn; He kills the poor and the needy, And at night he is as a thief.

nasb@Job:3:15" @The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight, Saying, 'No eye will see me.' And he disguises his face.

nasb@Job:3:16" @In the dark they dig into houses, They shut themselves up by day; They do not know the light.

nasb@Job:3:17" @For the morning is the same to him as thick darkness, For he is familiar with the terrors of thick darkness.

nasb@Job:3:18" @They are insignificant on the surface of the water; Their portion is cursed on the earth. They do not turn toward the vineyards.

nasb@Job:3:19" @Drought and heat consume the snow waters, So does Sheol those who have sinned.

nasb@Job:3:20" @A mother will forget him; The worm feeds sweetly till he is no longer remembered. And wickedness will be broken like a tree.

nasb@Job:3:21" @He wrongs the barren woman And does no good for the widow.

nasb@Job:3:22" @But He drags off the valiant by His power; He rises, but no one has assurance of life.

nasb@Job:3:23" @He provides them with security, and they are supported; And His eyes are on their ways.

nasb@Job:3:24" @They are exalted a little while, then they are gone; Moreover, they are brought low and like everything gathered up; Even like the heads of grain they are cut off.

nasb@Job:3:25" @Now if it is not so, who can prove me a liar, And make my speech worthlessNULL"

nasb@Job:3:25 @Then Bildad the Shuhite answered,

nasb@Job:3:2" @ Dominion and awe belong to Him Who establishes peace in His heights.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Is there any number to His troops? And upon whom does His light not rise?

nasb@Job:3:4" @How then can a man be just with God? Or how can he be clean who is born of woman?

nasb@Job:3:5" @If even the moon has no brightness And the stars are not pure in His sight,

nasb@Job:3:6 @How much less man, that maggot, And the son of man, that worm!"

nasb@Job:3:26 @Then Job responded,

nasb@Job:3:2" @What a help you are to the weak! How you have saved the arm without strength!

nasb@Job:3:3" @What counsel you have given to one without wisdom! What helpful insight you have abundantly provided!

nasb@Job:3:4" @To whom have you uttered words? And whose spirit was expressed through you?

nasb@Job:3:5" @The departed spirits tremble Under the waters and their inhabitants.

nasb@Job:3:6" @Naked is Sheol before Him, And Abaddon has no covering.

nasb@Job:3:7" @He stretches out the north over empty space And hangs the earth on nothing.

nasb@Job:3:8" @He wraps up the waters in His clouds, And the cloud does not burst under them.

nasb@Job:3:9" @He obscures the face of the full moon And spreads His cloud over it.

nasb@Job:3:10" @He has inscribed a circle on the surface of the waters At the boundary of light and darkness.

nasb@Job:3:11" @The pillars of heaven tremble And are amazed at His rebuke.

nasb@Job:3:12" @He quieted the sea with His power, And by His understanding He shattered Rahab.

nasb@Job:3:13" @By His breath the heavens are cleared; His hand has pierced the fleeing serpent.

nasb@Job:3:14" @Behold, these are the fringes of His ways; And how faint a word we hear of Him! But His mighty thunder, who can understandNULL"

nasb@Job:3:27 @Then Job continued his discourse and said,

nasb@Job:3:2" @As God lives, who has taken away my right, And the Almighty, who has embittered my soul,

nasb@Job:3:3 @For as long as life is in me, And the breath of God is in my nostrils,

nasb@Job:3:4 @My lips certainly will not speak unjustly, Nor will my tongue mutter deceit.

nasb@Job:3:5" @Far be it from me that I should declare you right; Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

nasb@Job:3:6" @I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go. My heart does not reproach any of my days.

nasb@Job:3:7" @May my enemy be as the wicked And my opponent as the unjust.

nasb@Job:3:8" @For what is the hope of the godless when he is cut off, When God requires his life?

nasb@Job:3:9" @Will God hear his cry When distress comes upon him?

nasb@Job:3:10" @Will he take delight in the Almighty? Will he call on God at all times?

nasb@Job:3:11" @I will instruct you in the power of God; What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

nasb@Job:3:12" @Behold, all of you have seen it; Why then do you act foolishly?

nasb@Job:3:13" @This is the portion of a wicked man from God, And the inheritance which tyrants receive from the Almighty.

nasb@Job:3:14" @Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword; And his descendants will not be satisfied with bread.

nasb@Job:3:15" @His survivors will be buried because of the plague, And their widows will not be able to weep.

nasb@Job:3:16" @Though he piles up silver like dust And prepares garments as plentiful as the clay,

nasb@Job:3:17 @He may prepare it, but the just will wear it And the innocent will divide the silver.

nasb@Job:3:18" @He has built his house like the spider's web, Or as a hut which the watchman has made.

nasb@Job:3:19" @He lies down rich, but never again; He opens his eyes, and it is no longer.

nasb@Job:3:20" @ Terrors overtake him like a flood; A tempest steals him away in the night.

nasb@Job:3:21" @The east wind carries him away, and he is gone, For it whirls him away from his place.

nasb@Job:3:22" @For it will hurl at him without sparing; He will surely try to flee from its power.

nasb@Job:3:23" @Men will clap their hands at him And will hiss him from his place.

nasb@Job:3:28" @Surely there is a mine for silver And a place where they refine gold.

nasb@Job:3:2" @Iron is taken from the dust, And copper is smelted from rock.

nasb@Job:3:3" @Man puts an end to darkness, And to the farthest limit he searches out The rock in gloom and deep shadow.

nasb@Job:3:4" @He sinks a shaft far from habitation, Forgotten by the foot; They hang and swing to and fro far from men.

nasb@Job:3:5" @The earth, from it comes food, And underneath it is turned up as fire.

nasb@Job:3:6" @Its rocks are the source of sapphires, And its dust contains gold.

nasb@Job:3:7" @The path no bird of prey knows, Nor has the falcon's eye caught sight of it.

nasb@Job:3:8" @The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor has the fierce lion passed over it.

nasb@Job:3:9" @He puts his hand on the flint; He overturns the mountains at the base.

nasb@Job:3:10" @He hews out channels through the rocks, And his eye sees anything precious.

nasb@Job:3:11" @He dams up the streams from flowing, And what is hidden he brings out to the light.

nasb@Job:3:12" @But where can wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

nasb@Job:3:13" @ Man does not know its value, Nor is it found in the land of the living.

nasb@Job:3:14" @The deep says, 'It is not in me'; And the sea says, 'It is not with me.'

nasb@Job:3:15" @ Pure gold cannot be given in exchange for it, Nor can silver be weighed as its price.

nasb@Job:3:16" @It cannot be valued in the gold of Ophir, In precious onyx, or sapphire.

nasb@Job:3:17" @ Gold or glass cannot equal it, Nor can it be exchanged for articles of fine gold.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Coral and crystal are not to be mentioned; And the acquisition of wisdom is above that of pearls.

nasb@Job:3:19" @The topaz of Ethiopia cannot equal it, Nor can it be valued in pure gold.

nasb@Job:3:20" @ Where then does wisdom come from? And where is the place of understanding?

nasb@Job:3:21" @Thus it is hidden from the eyes of all living And concealed from the birds of the sky.

nasb@Job:3:22" @ Abaddon and Death say, 'With our ears we have heard a report of it.'

nasb@Job:3:23" @ God understands its way, And He knows its place.

nasb@Job:3:24" @For He looks to the ends of the earth And sees everything under the heavens.

nasb@Job:3:25" @When He imparted weight to the wind And meted out the waters by measure,

nasb@Job:3:26 @When He set a limit for the rain And a course for the thunderbolt,

nasb@Job:3:27 @Then He saw it and declared it; He established it and also searched it out.

nasb@Job:3:28" @And to man He said, 'Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.'"

nasb@Job:3:29 @And Job again took up his discourse and said,

nasb@Job:3:2" @Oh that I were as in months gone by, As in the days when God watched over me;

nasb@Job:3:3 @When His lamp shone over my head, And by His light I walked through darkness;

nasb@Job:3:4 @As I was in the prime of my days, When the friendship of God was over my tent;

nasb@Job:3:5 @When the Almighty was yet with me, And my children were around me;

nasb@Job:3:6 @When my steps were bathed in butter, And the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

nasb@Job:3:7" @When I went out to the gate of the city, When I took my seat in the square,

nasb@Job:3:8 @The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the old men arose and stood.

nasb@Job:3:9" @The princes stopped talking And put their hands on their mouths;

nasb@Job:3:10 @The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue stuck to their palate.

nasb@Job:3:11" @For when the ear heard, it called me blessed, And when the eye saw, it gave witness of me,

nasb@Job:3:12 @Because I delivered the poor who cried for help, And the orphan who had no helper.

nasb@Job:3:13" @The blessing of the one ready to perish came upon me, And I made the widow's heart sing for joy.

nasb@Job:3:14" @I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; My justice was like a robe and a turban.

nasb@Job:3:15" @I was eyes to the blind And feet to the lame.

nasb@Job:3:16" @I was a father to the needy, And I investigated the case which I did not know.

nasb@Job:3:17" @I broke the jaws of the wicked And snatched the prey from his teeth.

nasb@Job:3:18" @Then I thought, 'I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand.

nasb@Job:3:19 @'My root is spread out to the waters, And dew lies all night on my branch.

nasb@Job:3:20 @'My glory is ever new with me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.'

nasb@Job:3:21" @To me they listened and waited, And kept silent for my counsel.

nasb@Job:3:22" @After my words they did not speak again, And my speech dropped on them.

nasb@Job:3:23" @They waited for me as for the rain, And opened their mouth as for the spring rain.

nasb@Job:3:24" @I smiled on them when they did not believe, And the light of my face they did not cast down.

nasb@Job:3:25" @I chose a way for them and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king among the troops, As one who comforted the mourners.

nasb@Job:3:30" @But now those younger than I mock me, Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.

nasb@Job:3:2" @Indeed, what good was the strength of their hands to me? Vigor had perished from them.

nasb@Job:3:3" @From want and famine they are gaunt Who gnaw the dry ground by night in waste and desolation,

nasb@Job:3:4 @Who pluck mallow by the bushes, And whose food is the root of the broom shrub.

nasb@Job:3:5" @They are driven from the community; They shout against them as against a thief,

nasb@Job:3:6 @So that they dwell in dreadful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.

nasb@Job:3:7" @Among the bushes they cry out; Under the nettles they are gathered together.

nasb@Job:3:8" @Fools, even those without a name, They were scourged from the land.

nasb@Job:3:9" @And now I have become their taunt, I have even become a byword to them.

nasb@Job:3:10" @They abhor me and stand aloof from me, And they do not refrain from spitting at my face.

nasb@Job:3:11" @Because He has loosed His bowstring and afflicted me, They have cast off the bridle before me.

nasb@Job:3:12" @On the right hand their brood arises; They thrust aside my feet and build up against me their ways of destruction.

nasb@Job:3:13" @They break up my path, They profit from my destruction; No one restrains them.

nasb@Job:3:14" @As through a wide breach they come, Amid the tempest they roll on.

nasb@Job:3:15" @ Terrors are turned against me; They pursue my honor as the wind, And my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

nasb@Job:3:16" @And now my soul is poured out within me; Days of affliction have seized me.

nasb@Job:3:17" @At night it pierces my bones within me, And my gnawing pains take no rest.

nasb@Job:3:18" @By a great force my garment is distorted; It binds me about as the collar of my coat.

nasb@Job:3:19" @He has cast me into the mire, And I have become like dust and ashes.

nasb@Job:3:20" @I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me; I stand up, and You turn Your attention against me.

nasb@Job:3:21" @You have become cruel to me; With the might of Your hand You persecute me.

nasb@Job:3:22" @You lift me up to the wind and cause me to ride; And You dissolve me in a storm.

nasb@Job:3:23" @For I know that You will bring me to death And to the house of meeting for all living.

nasb@Job:3:24" @Yet does not one in a heap of ruins stretch out his hand, Or in his disaster therefore cry out for help?

nasb@Job:3:25" @Have I not wept for the one whose life is hard? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?

nasb@Job:3:26" @When I expected good, then evil came; When I waited for light, then darkness came.

nasb@Job:3:27" @I am seething within and cannot relax; Days of affliction confront me.

nasb@Job:3:28" @I go about mourning without comfort; I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.

nasb@Job:3:29" @I have become a brother to jackals And a companion of ostriches.

nasb@Job:3:30" @My skin turns black on me, And my bones burn with fever.

nasb@Job:3:31" @Therefore my harp is turned to mourning, And my flute to the sound of those who weep.

nasb@Job:3:31" @I have made a covenant with my eyes; How then could I gaze at a virgin?

nasb@Job:3:2" @And what is the portion of God from above Or the heritage of the Almighty from on high?

nasb@Job:3:3" @Is it not calamity to the unjust And disaster to those who work iniquity?

nasb@Job:3:4" @Does He not see my ways And number all my steps?

nasb@Job:3:5" @If I have walked with falsehood, And my foot has hastened after deceit,

nasb@Job:3:6 @Let Him weigh me with accurate scales, And let God know my integrity.

nasb@Job:3:7" @If my step has turned from the way, Or my heart followed my eyes, Or if any spot has stuck to my hands,

nasb@Job:3:8 @Let me sow and another eat, And let my crops be uprooted.

nasb@Job:3:9" @If my heart has been enticed by a woman, Or I have lurked at my neighbor's doorway,

nasb@Job:3:10 @May my wife grind for another, And let others kneel down over her.

nasb@Job:3:11" @For that would be a lustful crime; Moreover, it would be an iniquity punishable by judges.

nasb@Job:3:12" @For it would be fire that consumes to Abaddon, And would uproot all my increase.

nasb@Job:3:13" @If I have despised the claim of my male or female slaves When they filed a complaint against me,

nasb@Job:3:14 @What then could I do when God arises? And when He calls me to account, what will I answer Him?

nasb@Job:3:15" @Did not He who made me in the womb make him, And the same one fashion us in the womb?

nasb@Job:3:16" @If I have kept the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

nasb@Job:3:17 @Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the orphan has not shared it

nasb@Job:3:18 @(But from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And from infancy I guided her),

nasb@Job:3:19 @If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering,

nasb@Job:3:20 @If his loins have not thanked me, And if he has not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep,

nasb@Job:3:21 @If I have lifted up my hand against the orphan, Because I saw I had support in the gate,

nasb@Job:3:22 @Let my shoulder fall from the socket, And my arm be broken off at the elbow.

nasb@Job:3:23" @For calamity from God is a terror to me, And because of His majesty I can do nothing.

nasb@Job:3:24" @If I have put my confidence in gold, And called fine gold my trust,

nasb@Job:3:25 @If I have gloated because my wealth was great, And because my hand had secured so much;

nasb@Job:3:26 @If I have looked at the sun when it shone Or the moon going in splendor,

nasb@Job:3:27 @And my heart became secretly enticed, And my hand threw a kiss from my mouth,

nasb@Job:3:28 @That too would have been an iniquity calling for judgment, For I would have denied God above.

nasb@Job:3:29" @Have I rejoiced at the extinction of my enemy, Or exulted when evil befell him?

nasb@Job:3:30" @No, I have not allowed my mouth to sin By asking for his life in a curse.

nasb@Job:3:31" @Have the men of my tent not said, 'Who can find one who has not been satisfied with his meat'?

nasb@Job:3:32" @The alien has not lodged outside, For I have opened my doors to the traveler.

nasb@Job:3:33" @Have I covered my transgressions like Adam, By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,

nasb@Job:3:34 @Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, And kept silent and did not go out of doors?

nasb@Job:3:35" @Oh that I had one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature; Let the Almighty answer me! And the indictment which my adversary has written,

nasb@Job:3:36 @Surely I would carry it on my shoulder, I would bind it to myself like a crown.

nasb@Job:3:37" @I would declare to Him the number of my steps; Like a prince I would approach Him.

nasb@Job:3:38" @If my land cries out against me, And its furrows weep together;

nasb@Job:3:39 @If I have eaten its fruit without money, Or have caused its owners to lose their lives,

nasb@Job:3:40 @Let briars grow instead of wheat, And stinkweed instead of barley." The words of Job are ended.

nasb@Job:4:3 @And his anger burned against his three friends because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

nasb@Job:4:13" @Do not say, ' We have found wisdom; God will rout him, not man.'

nasb@Job:4:33" @However now, Job, please hear my speech, And listen to all my words.

nasb@Job:4:3" @My words are from the uprightness of my heart, And my lips speak knowledge sincerely.

nasb@Job:4:13" @Why do you complain against Him That He does not give an account of all His doings?

nasb@Job:4:23" @If there is an angel as mediator for him, One out of a thousand, To remind a man what is right for him,

nasb@Job:4:30 @To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of life.

nasb@Job:4:31" @Pay attention, O Job, listen to me; Keep silent, and let me speak.

nasb@Job:4:32" @Then if you have anything to say, answer me; Speak, for I desire to justify you.

nasb@Job:4:33" @If not, listen to me; Keep silent, and I will teach you wisdom."

nasb@Job:4:34 @Then Elihu continued and said,

nasb@Job:4:3" @For the ear tests words As the palate tastes food.

nasb@Job:4:13" @Who gave Him authority over the earth? And who has laid on Him the whole world?

nasb@Job:4:23" @For He does not need to consider a man further, That he should go before God in judgment.

nasb@Job:4:30 @So that godless men would not rule Nor be snares of the people.

nasb@Job:4:31" @For has anyone said to God, 'I have borne chastisement; I will not offend anymore;

nasb@Job:4:32 @Teach me what I do not see; If I have done iniquity, I will not do it again'?

nasb@Job:4:33" @Shall He recompense on your terms, because you have rejected it? For you must choose, and not I; Therefore declare what you know.

nasb@Job:4:34" @Men of understanding will say to me, And a wise man who hears me,

nasb@Job:4:35 @'Job speaks without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom.

nasb@Job:4:36 @'Job ought to be tried to the limit, Because he answers like wicked men.

nasb@Job:4:37 @'For he adds rebellion to his sin; He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God.'"

nasb@Job:4:35 @Then Elihu continued and said,

nasb@Job:4:3" @For you say, ' What advantage will it be to You? What profit will I have, more than if I had sinned?'

nasb@Job:4:13" @Surely God will not listen to an empty cry, Nor will the Almighty regard it.

nasb@Job:4:36 @Then Elihu continued and said,

nasb@Job:4:3" @I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And I will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.

nasb@Job:4:13" @But the godless in heart lay up anger; They do not cry for help when He binds them.

nasb@Job:4:23" @Who has appointed Him His way, And who has said, ' You have done wrong'?

nasb@Job:4:30" @Behold, He spreads His lightning about Him, And He covers the depths of the sea.

nasb@Job:4:31" @For by these He judges peoples; He gives food in abundance.

nasb@Job:4:32" @He covers His hands with the lightning, And commands it to strike the mark.

nasb@Job:4:33" @Its noise declares His presence; The cattle also, concerning what is coming up.

nasb@Job:4:37" @At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place.

nasb@Job:4:3" @Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, And His lightning to the ends of the earth.

nasb@Job:4:13" @Whether for correction, or for His world, Or for lovingkindness, He causes it to happen.

nasb@Job:4:23" @The Almighty-- we cannot find Him; He is exalted in power And He will not do violence to justice and abundant righteousness.

nasb@Job:4:38 @Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,

nasb@Job:4:3" @Now gird up your loins like a man, And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!

nasb@Job:4:13 @That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?

nasb@Job:4:23 @Which I have reserved for the time of distress, For the day of war and battle?

nasb@Job:4:30" @Water becomes hard like stone, And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.

nasb@Job:4:31" @Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades, Or loose the cords of Orion?

nasb@Job:4:32" @Can you lead forth a constellation in its season, And guide the Bear with her satellites?

nasb@Job:4:33" @Do you know the ordinances of the heavens, Or fix their rule over the earth?

nasb@Job:4:34" @Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, So that an abundance of water will cover you?

nasb@Job:4:35" @Can you send forth lightnings that they may go And say to you, 'Here we are'?

nasb@Job:4:36" @Who has put wisdom in the innermost being Or given understanding to the mind?

nasb@Job:4:37" @Who can count the clouds by wisdom, Or tip the water jars of the heavens,

nasb@Job:4:38 @When the dust hardens into a mass And the clods stick together?

nasb@Job:4:39" @Can you hunt the prey for the lion, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

nasb@Job:4:39" @Do you know the time the mountain goats give birth? Do you observe the calving of the deer?

nasb@Job:4:3" @They kneel down, they bring forth their young, They get rid of their labor pains.

nasb@Job:4:13" @The ostriches' wings flap joyously With the pinion and plumage of love,

nasb@Job:4:23" @The quiver rattles against him, The flashing spear and javelin.

nasb@Job:4:30" @His young ones also suck up blood; And where the slain are, there is he."

nasb@Proverbs:23:19 @Listen, my son, and be wise, And direct your heart in the way.

nasb@Proverbs:23:20 @Do not be with heavy drinkers of wine, Or with gluttonous eaters of meat;

nasb@Proverbs:23:21 @For the heavy drinker and the glutton will come to poverty, And drowsiness will clothe one with rags.

nasb@Proverbs:23:22 @Listen to your father who begot you, And do not despise your mother when she is old.

nasb@Proverbs:23:23 @Buy truth, and do not sell it, Get wisdom and instruction and understanding.

nasb@Proverbs:23:24 @The father of the righteous will greatly rejoice, And he who sires a wise son will be glad in him.

nasb@Proverbs:23:25 @Let your father and your mother be glad, And let her rejoice who gave birth to you.

nasb@Proverbs:23:26 @Give me your heart, my son, And let your eyes delight in my ways.

nasb@Proverbs:23:27 @For a harlot is a deep pit And an adulterous woman is a narrow well.

nasb@Proverbs:23:28 @Surely she lurks as a robber, And increases the faithless among men.

nasb@Proverbs:23:29 @Who has woe? Who has sorrow? Who has contentions? Who has complaining? Who has wounds without cause? Who has redness of eyes?

nasb@Proverbs:23:30 @Those who linger long over wine, Those who go to taste mixed wine.

nasb@Proverbs:23:31 @Do not look on the wine when it is red, When it sparkles in the cup, When it goes down smoothly;

nasb@Proverbs:23:32 @At the last it bites like a serpent And stings like a viper.

nasb@Proverbs:23:33 @Your eyes will see strange things And your mind will utter perverse things.

nasb@Proverbs:23:34 @And you will be like one who lies down in the middle of the sea, Or like one who lies down on the top of a mast.

nasb@Proverbs:23:35" @They struck me, but I did not become ill; They beat me, but I did not know it. When shall I awakeNULL I will seek another drink."

nasb@Proverbs:24:3 @By wisdom a house is built, And by understanding it is established;

nasb@Proverbs:24:13 @My son, eat honey, for it is good, Yes, the honey from the comb is sweet to your taste;

nasb@Proverbs:24:23 @These also are sayings of the wise. To show partiality in judgment is not good.

nasb@Proverbs:24:30 @I passed by the field of the sluggard And by the vineyard of the man lacking sense,

nasb@Proverbs:24:31 @And behold, it was completely overgrown with thistles; Its surface was covered with nettles, And its stone wall was broken down.

nasb@Proverbs:24:32 @When I saw, I reflected upon it; I looked, and received instruction.

nasb@Proverbs:24:33" @ A little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to rest,"

nasb@Proverbs:24:34 @Then your poverty will come as a robber And your want like an armed man.

nasb@Proverbs:25:3 @As the heavens for height and the earth for depth, So the heart of kings is unsearchable.

nasb@Proverbs:25:13 @Like the cold of snow in the time of harvest Is a faithful messenger to those who send him, For he refreshes the soul of his masters.

nasb@Proverbs:25:23 @The north wind brings forth rain, And a backbiting tongue, an angry countenance.

nasb@Proverbs:26:3 @A whip is for the horse, a bridle for the donkey, And a rod for the back of fools.

nasb@Proverbs:26:13 @The sluggard says, "There is a lion in the road! A lion is in the open square!"

nasb@Proverbs:26:23 @Like an earthen vessel overlaid with silver dross Are burning lips and a wicked heart.

nasb@Proverbs:27:3 @A stone is heavy and the sand weighty, But the provocation of a fool is heavier than both of them.

nasb@Proverbs:27:13 @Take his garment when he becomes surety for a stranger; And for an adulterous woman hold him in pledge.

nasb@Proverbs:27:23 @Know well the condition of your flocks, And pay attention to your herds;

nasb@Proverbs:28:3 @A poor man who oppresses the lowly Is like a driving rain which leaves no food.

nasb@Proverbs:28:13 @He who conceals his transgressions will not prosper, But he who confesses and forsakes them will find compassion.

nasb@Proverbs:28:23 @He who rebukes a man will afterward find more favor Than he who flatters with the tongue.

nasb@Proverbs:29:3 @A man who loves wisdom makes his father glad, But he who keeps company with harlots wastes his wealth.

nasb@Proverbs:29:13 @The poor man and the oppressor have this in common- The LORD gives light to the eyes of both.

nasb@Proverbs:29:23 @A man's pride will bring him low, But a humble spirit will obtain honor.

nasb@Proverbs:30:1 @The words of Agur the son of Jakeh, the oracle. The man declares to Ithiel, to Ithiel and Ucal-

nasb@Proverbs:30:2 @Surely I am more stupid than any man, And I do not have the understanding of a man.

nasb@Proverbs:30:3 @Neither have I learned wisdom, Nor do I have the knowledge of the Holy One.

nasb@Proverbs:30:4 @Who has ascended into heaven and descended? Who has gathered the wind in His fists? Who has wrapped the waters in His garment? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is His name or His son's name? Surely you know!

nasb@Proverbs:30:5 @Every word of God is tested; He is a shield to those who take refuge in Him.

nasb@Proverbs:30:6 @Do not add to His words Or He will reprove you, and you will be proved a liar.

nasb@Proverbs:30:7 @Two things I asked of You, Do not refuse me before I die-

nasb@Proverbs:30:8 @Keep deception and lies far from me, Give me neither poverty nor riches; Feed me with the food that is my portion,

nasb@Proverbs:30:9 @That I not be full and deny You and say, "Who is the LORD?" Or that I not be in want and steal, And profane the name of my God.

nasb@Proverbs:30:10 @Do not slander a slave to his master, Or he will curse you and you will be found guilty.

nasb@Proverbs:30:11 @There is a kind of man who curses his father And does not bless his mother.

nasb@Proverbs:30:12 @There is a kind who is pure in his own eyes, Yet is not washed from his filthiness.

nasb@Proverbs:30:13 @There is a kind--oh how lofty are his eyes! And his eyelids are raised in arrogance.

nasb@Proverbs:30:14 @There is a kind of man whose teeth are like swords And his jaw teeth like knives, To devour the afflicted from the earth And the needy from among men.

nasb@Proverbs:30:15 @The leech has two daughters, "Give," "Give." There are three things that will not be satisfied, Four that will not say, "Enough"-

nasb@Proverbs:30:16 @Sheol, and the barren womb, Earth that is never satisfied with water, And fire that never says, "Enough."

nasb@Proverbs:30:17 @The eye that mocks a father And scorns a mother, The ravens of the valley will pick it out, And the young eagles will eat it.

nasb@Proverbs:30:18 @There are three things which are too wonderful for me, Four which I do not understand-

nasb@Proverbs:30:19 @The way of an eagle in the sky, The way of a serpent on a rock, The way of a ship in the middle of the sea, And the way of a man with a maid.

nasb@Proverbs:30:20 @This is the way of an adulterous woman- She eats and wipes her mouth, And says, "I have done no wrong."

nasb@Proverbs:30:21 @Under three things the earth quakes, And under four, it cannot bear up-

nasb@Proverbs:30:22 @Under a slave when he becomes king, And a fool when he is satisfied with food,

nasb@Proverbs:30:23 @Under an unloved woman when she gets a husband, And a maidservant when she supplants her mistress.

nasb@Proverbs:30:24 @Four things are small on the earth, But they are exceedingly wise-

nasb@Proverbs:30:25 @The ants are not a strong people, But they prepare their food in the summer;

nasb@Proverbs:30:26 @The shephanim are not mighty people, Yet they make their houses in the rocks;

nasb@Proverbs:30:27 @The locusts have no king, Yet all of them go out in ranks;

nasb@Proverbs:30:28 @The lizard you may grasp with the hands, Yet it is in kings' palaces.

nasb@Proverbs:30:29 @There are three things which are stately in their march, Even four which are stately when they walk-

nasb@Proverbs:30:30 @The lion which is mighty among beasts And does not retreat before any,

nasb@Proverbs:30:31 @The strutting rooster, the male goat also, And a king when his army is with him.

nasb@Proverbs:30:32 @If you have been foolish in exalting yourself Or if you have plotted evil, put your hand on your mouth.

nasb@Proverbs:30:33 @For the churning of milk produces butter, And pressing the nose brings forth blood; So the churning of anger produces strife.

nasb@Proverbs:31:1 @The words of King Lemuel, the oracle which his mother taught him-

nasb@Proverbs:31:2 @What, O my son? And what, O son of my womb? And what, O son of my vows?

nasb@Proverbs:31:3 @Do not give your strength to women, Or your ways to that which destroys kings.

nasb@Proverbs:31:4 @It is not for kings, O Lemuel, It is not for kings to drink wine, Or for rulers to desire strong drink,

nasb@Proverbs:31:5 @For they will drink and forget what is decreed, And pervert the rights of all the afflicted.

nasb@Proverbs:31:6 @Give strong drink to him who is perishing, And wine to him whose life is bitter.

nasb@Proverbs:31:7 @Let him drink and forget his poverty And remember his trouble no more.

nasb@Proverbs:31:8 @Open your mouth for the mute, For the rights of all the unfortunate.

nasb@Proverbs:31:9 @Open your mouth, judge righteously, And defend the rights of the afflicted and needy.

nasb@Proverbs:31:10 @An excellent wife, who can find? For her worth is far above jewels.

nasb@Proverbs:31:11 @The heart of her husband trusts in her, And he will have no lack of gain.

nasb@Proverbs:31:12 @She does him good and not evil All the days of her life.

nasb@Proverbs:31:13 @She looks for wool and flax And works with her hands in delight.

nasb@Proverbs:31:14 @She is like merchant ships; She brings her food from afar.

nasb@Proverbs:31:15 @She rises also while it is still night And gives food to her household And portions to her maidens.

nasb@Proverbs:31:16 @She considers a field and buys it; From her earnings she plants a vineyard.

nasb@Proverbs:31:17 @She girds herself with strength And makes her arms strong.

nasb@Proverbs:31:18 @She senses that her gain is good; Her lamp does not go out at night.

nasb@Proverbs:31:19 @She stretches out her hands to the distaff, And her hands grasp the spindle.

nasb@Proverbs:31:20 @She extends her hand to the poor, And she stretches out her hands to the needy.

nasb@Proverbs:31:21 @She is not afraid of the snow for her household, For all her household are clothed with scarlet.

nasb@Proverbs:31:22 @She makes coverings for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.

nasb@Proverbs:31:23 @Her husband is known in the gates, When he sits among the elders of the land.

nasb@Proverbs:31:24 @She makes linen garments and sells them, And supplies belts to the tradesmen.

nasb@Proverbs:31:25 @Strength and dignity are her clothing, And she smiles at the future.

nasb@Proverbs:31:26 @She opens her mouth in wisdom, And the teaching of kindness is on her tongue.

nasb@Proverbs:31:27 @She looks well to the ways of her household, And does not eat the bread of idleness.

nasb@Proverbs:31:28 @Her children rise up and bless her; Her husband also, and he praises her, saying-

nasb@Proverbs:31:29" @Many daughters have done nobly, But you excel them all."

nasb@Proverbs:31:30 @Charm is deceitful and beauty is vain, But a woman who fears the LORD, she shall be praised.

nasb@Proverbs:31:31 @Give her the product of her hands, And let her works praise her in the gates.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:0:3 @What advantage does man have in all his work Which he does under the sun?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:0:13 @And I set my mind to seek and explore by wisdom concerning all that has been done under heaven. It is a grievous task which God has given to the sons of men to be afflicted with.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:3 @I explored with my mind how to stimulate my body with wine while my mind was guiding me wisely, and how to take hold of folly, until I could see what good there is for the sons of men to do under heaven the few years of their lives.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @And I saw that wisdom excels folly as light excels darkness.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:1:23 @Because all his days his task is painful and grievous; even at night his mind does not rest. This too is vanity.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @A time to kill and a time to heal; A time to tear down and a time to build up.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:2:13 @moreover, that every man who eats and drinks sees good in all his labor--it is the gift of God.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @Then I looked again at all the acts of oppression which were being done under the sun. And behold I saw the tears of the oppressed and that they had no one to comfort them; and on the side of their oppressors was power, but they had no one to comfort them.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:2 @So I congratulated the dead who are already dead more than the living who are still living.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @But better off than both of them is the one who has never existed, who has never seen the evil activity that is done under the sun.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:4 @I have seen that every labor and every skill which is done is the result of rivalry between a man and his neighbor. This too is vanity and striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @The fool folds his hands and consumes his own flesh.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:6 @One hand full of rest is better than two fists full of labor and striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:7 @Then I looked again at vanity under the sun.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:8 @There was a certain man without a dependent, having neither a son nor a brother, yet there was no end to all his labor. Indeed, his eyes were not satisfied with riches and he never asked, "And for whom am I laboring and depriving myself of pleasure?" This too is vanity and it is a grievous task.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @For if either of them falls, the one will lift up his companion. But woe to the one who falls when there is not another to lift him up.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @Furthermore, if two lie down together they keep warm, but how can one be warm alone?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @And if one can overpower him who is alone, two can resist him. A cord of three strands is not quickly torn apart.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @A poor yet wise lad is better than an old and foolish king who no longer knows how to receive instruction.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @For he has come out of prison to become king, even though he was born poor in his kingdom.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:15 @I have seen all the living under the sun throng to the side of the second lad who replaces him.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @There is no end to all the people, to all who were before them, and even the ones who will come later will not be happy with him, for this too is vanity and striving after wind.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @For the dream comes through much effort and the voice of a fool through many words.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun- riches being hoarded by their owner to his hurt.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:5:3 @If a man fathers a hundred children and lives many years, however many they be, but his soul is not satisfied with good things and he does not even have a proper burial, then I say, "Better the miscarriage than he,

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @Sorrow is better than laughter, For when a face is sad a heart may be happy.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:13 @Consider the work of God, For who is able to straighten what He has bent?

nasb@Ecclesiastes:6:23 @I tested all this with wisdom, and I said, "I will be wise," but it was far from me.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:3" @Do not be in a hurry to leave him. Do not join in an evil matter, for he will do whatever he pleases."

nasb@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @But it will not be well for the evil man and he will not lengthen his days like a shadow, because he does not fear God.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one fate for all men. Furthermore, the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil and insanity is in their hearts throughout their lives. Afterwards they go to the dead.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @Also this I came to see as wisdom under the sun, and it impressed me.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @Even when the fool walks along the road, his sense is lacking and he demonstrates to everyone that he is a fool.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @the beginning of his talking is folly and the end of it is wicked madness.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @If the clouds are full, they pour out rain upon the earth; and whether a tree falls toward the south or toward the north, wherever the tree falls, there it lies.

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @in the day that the watchmen of the house tremble, and mighty men stoop, the grinding ones stand idle because they are few, and those who look through windows grow dim;

nasb@Ecclesiastes:11:13 @The conclusion, when all has been heard, is- fear God and keep His commandments, because this applies to every person.

nasb@Songs:0:3" @Your oils have a pleasing fragrance, Your name is like purified oil; Therefore the maidens love you.

nasb@Songs:0:13" @My beloved is to me a pouch of myrrh Which lies all night between my breasts.

nasb@Songs:0:3" @ Like an apple tree among the trees of the forest, So is my beloved among the young men. In his shade I took great delight and sat down, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.

nasb@Songs:0:13 @'The fig tree has ripened its figs, And the vines in blossom have given forth their fragrance. Arise, my darling, my beautiful one, And come along!'"

nasb@Songs:1:3" @ The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me, And I said, 'Have you seen him whom my soul loves?'

nasb@Songs:1:3" @Your lips are like a scarlet thread, And your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a slice of a pomegranate Behind your veil.

nasb@Songs:1:13" @Your shoots are an orchard of pomegranates With choice fruits, henna with nard plants,

nasb@Songs:1:13" @His cheeks are like a bed of balsam, Banks of sweet-scented herbs; His lips are lilies Dripping with liquid myrrh.

nasb@Songs:1:3" @ I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine, He who pastures his flock among the lilies."

nasb@Songs:1:13" @ Come back, come back, O Shulammite; Come back, come back, that we may gaze at you!" " Why should you gaze at the Shulammite, As at the dance of the two companiesNULL

nasb@Songs:1:3" @Your two breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle.

nasb@Songs:1:13" @The mandrakes have given forth fragrance; And over our doors are all choice fruits, Both new and old, Which I have saved up for you, my beloved.

nasb@Songs:1:3" @Let his left hand be under my head And his right hand embrace me."

nasb@Songs:1:13" @ O you who sit in the gardens, My companions are listening for your voice-- Let me hear it!"
