Job:1:2 @ And seven sons and three daughters were born to him.
nkjv@Job:1:3 @ Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.
nkjv@Job:1:4 @ And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
nkjv@Job:1:5 @ So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did regularly.
nkjv@Job:1:6 @ Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.
nkjv@Job:1:8 @ Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?"
nkjv@Job:1:12 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person." So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.
nkjv@Job:1:13 @ Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house;
nkjv@Job:1:14 @ and a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them,
nkjv@Job:1:15 @ when the Sabeans raided them and took them away--indeed they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
nkjv@Job:1:16 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
nkjv@Job:1:19 @ and suddenly a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
nkjv@Job:1:20 @ Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped.
nkjv@Job:1:21 @ And he said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD."
nkjv@Job:2:1 @ Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.
nkjv@Job:2:3 @ Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause."
nkjv@Job:2:7 @ So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.
nkjv@Job:2:9 @ Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!"
nkjv@Job:2:10 @ But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
nkjv@Job:2:11 @ Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place--Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him.
nkjv@Job:2:12 @ And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven.
nkjv@Job:2:13 @ So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.
nkjv@Job:3:1 @ After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
nkjv@Job:3:7 @ Oh, may that night be barren! May no joyful shout come into it!
nkjv@Job:3:11 @ "Why did I not die at birth? Why did I not perish when I came from the womb?
nkjv@Job:3:13 @ For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have been asleep; Then I would have been at rest
nkjv@Job:3:16 @ Or why was I not hidden like a stillborn child, Like infants who never saw light?
nkjv@Job:3:20 @ "Why is light given to him who is in misery, And life to the bitter of soul,
nkjv@Job:3:21 @ Who long for death, but it does not come, And search for it more than hidden treasures;
nkjv@Job:3:22 @ Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad when they can find the grave?
nkjv@Job:3:23 @ Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden, And whom God has hedged in?
nkjv@Job:3:25 @ For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.
nkjv@Job:4:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
nkjv@Job:4:3 @ Surely you have instructed many, And you have strengthened weak hands.
nkjv@Job:4:4 @ Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, And you have strengthened the feeble knees;
nkjv@Job:4:6 @ Is not your reverence your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope?
nkjv@Job:4:7 @ "Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off?
nkjv@Job:4:8 @ Even as I have seen, Those who plow iniquity And sow trouble reap the same.
nkjv@Job:4:10 @ The roaring of the lion, The voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken.
nkjv@Job:4:13 @ In disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falls on men,
nkjv@Job:4:15 @ Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair on my body stood up.
nkjv@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, But I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; There was silence; Then I heard a voice saying:
nkjv@Job:4:20 @ They are broken in pieces from morning till evening; They perish forever, with no one regarding.
nkjv@Job:4:21 @ Does not their own excellence go away? They die, even without wisdom.'
nkjv@Job:5:2 @ For wrath kills a foolish man, And envy slays a simple one.
nkjv@Job:5:3 @ I have seen the foolish taking root, But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.
nkjv@Job:5:5 @ Because the hungry eat up his harvest, Taking it even from the thorns, And a snare snatches their substance.
nkjv@Job:5:10 @ He gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields.
nkjv@Job:5:17 @ "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
nkjv@Job:5:19 @ He shall deliver you in six troubles, Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.
nkjv@Job:5:21 @ You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.
nkjv@Job:5:23 @ For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.
nkjv@Job:5:24 @ You shall know that your tent is in peace; You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.
nkjv@Job:5:25 @ You shall also know that your descendants shall be many, And your offspring like the grass of the earth.
nkjv@Job:5:26 @ You shall come to the grave at a full age, As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.
nkjv@Job:6:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
nkjv@Job:6:3 @ For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea-- Therefore my words have been rash.
nkjv@Job:6:5 @ Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass, Or does the ox low over its fodder?
nkjv@Job:6:6 @ Can flavorless food be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
nkjv@Job:6:10 @ Then I would still have comfort; Though in anguish I would exult, He will not spare; For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.
nkjv@Job:6:11 @ "What strength do I have, that I should hope? And what is my end, that I should prolong my life?
nkjv@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze?
nkjv@Job:6:13 @ Is my help not within me? And is success driven from me?
nkjv@Job:6:14 @ "To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
nkjv@Job:6:17 @ When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
nkjv@Job:6:20 @ They are disappointed because they were confident; They come there and are confused.
nkjv@Job:6:23 @ Or, "Deliver me from the enemy's hand'? Or, "Redeem me from the hand of oppressors'?
nkjv@Job:6:26 @ Do you intend to rebuke my words, And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?
nkjv@Job:6:27 @ Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, And you undermine your friend.
nkjv@Job:7:3 @ So I have been allotted months of futility, And wearisome nights have been appointed to me.
nkjv@Job:7:4 @ When I lie down, I say, "When shall I arise, And the night be ended?' For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn.
nkjv@Job:7:6 @ "My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, And are spent without hope.
nkjv@Job:7:12 @ Am I a sea, or a sea serpent, That You set a guard over me?
nkjv@Job:7:13 @ When I say, "My bed will comfort me, My couch will ease my complaint,'
nkjv@Job:7:14 @ Then You scare me with dreams And terrify me with visions,
nkjv@Job:7:18 @ That You should visit him every morning, And test him every moment?
nkjv@Job:7:20 @ 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?
nkjv@Job:7:21 @ Why then do You not pardon my transgression, And take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust, And You will seek me diligently, But I will no longer be."
nkjv@Job:8:1 @ Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
nkjv@Job:8:3 @ Does God subvert judgment? Or does the Almighty pervert justice?
nkjv@Job:8:7 @ Though your beginning was small, Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
nkjv@Job:8:12 @ While it is yet green and not cut down, It withers before any other plant.
nkjv@Job:8:14 @ Whose confidence shall be cut off, And whose trust is a spider's web.
nkjv@Job:8:15 @ He leans on his house, but it does not stand. He holds it fast, but it does not endure.
nkjv@Job:8:16 @ He grows green in the sun, And his branches spread out in his garden.
nkjv@Job:8:18 @ If he is destroyed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, "I have not seen you.'
nkjv@Job:9:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
nkjv@Job:9:3 @ If one wished to contend with Him, He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.
nkjv@Job:9:4 @ God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered?
nkjv@Job:9:5 @ He removes the mountains, and they do not know When He overturns them in His anger;
nkjv@Job:9:8 @ He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea;
nkjv@Job:9:13 @ God will not withdraw His anger, The allies of the proud lie prostrate beneath Him.
nkjv@Job:9:14 @ "How then can I answer Him, And choose my words to reason with Him?
nkjv@Job:9:16 @ If I called and He answered me, I would not believe that He was listening to my voice.
nkjv@Job:9:19 @ If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong; And if of justice, who will appoint my day in court?
nkjv@Job:9:23 @ If the scourge slays suddenly, He laughs at the plight of the innocent.
nkjv@Job:9:24 @ The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, who else could it be?
nkjv@Job:9:28 @ I am afraid of all my sufferings; I know that You will not hold me innocent.
nkjv@Job:9:29 @ If I am condemned, Why then do I labor in vain?
nkjv@Job:9:33 @ Nor is there any mediator between us, Who may lay his hand on us both.
nkjv@Job:9:35 @ Then I would speak and not fear Him, But it is not so with me.
nkjv@Job:10:2 @ I will say to God, "Do not condemn me; Show me why You contend with me.
nkjv@Job:10:13 @ "And these things You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You:
nkjv@Job:10:14 @ If I sin, then You mark me, And will not acquit me of my iniquity.
nkjv@Job:10:15 @ If I am wicked, woe to me; Even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head. I am full of disgrace; See my misery!
nkjv@Job:10:17 @ You renew Your witnesses against me, And increase Your indignation toward me; Changes and war are ever with me.
nkjv@Job:10:18 @ "Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!
nkjv@Job:10:19 @ I would have been as though I had not been. I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.
nkjv@Job:10:22 @ A land as dark as darkness itself, As the shadow of death, without any order, Where even the light is like darkness."'
nkjv@Job:11:1 @ Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
nkjv@Job:11:3 @ Should your empty talk make men hold their peace? And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?
nkjv@Job:11:5 @ But oh, that God would speak, And open His lips against you,
nkjv@Job:11:6 @ That He would show you the secrets of wisdom! For they would double your prudence. Know therefore that God exacts from you Less than your iniquity deserves.
nkjv@Job:11:8 @ They are higher than heaven-- what can you do? Deeper than Sheol-- what can you know?
nkjv@Job:11:10 @ "If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment, Then who can hinder Him?
nkjv@Job:11:11 @ For He knows deceitful men; He sees wickedness also. Will He not then consider it?
nkjv@Job:11:12 @ For an empty-headed man will be wise, When a wild donkey's colt is born a man.
nkjv@Job:11:14 @ If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away, And would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
nkjv@Job:11:15 @ Then surely you could lift up your face without spot; Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;
nkjv@Job:12:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
nkjv@Job:12:4 @ "I am one mocked by his friends, Who called on God, and He answered him, The just and blameless who is ridiculed.
nkjv@Job:12:6 @ The tents of robbers prosper, And those who provoke God are secure-- In what God provides by His hand.
nkjv@Job:12:12 @ Wisdom is with aged men, And with length of days, understanding.
nkjv@Job:12:13 @ "With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding.
nkjv@Job:12:15 @ If He withholds the waters, they dry up; If He sends them out, they overwhelm the earth.
nkjv@Job:12:16 @ With Him are strength and prudence. The deceived and the deceiver are His.
nkjv@Job:12:18 @ He loosens the bonds of kings, And binds their waist with a belt.
nkjv@Job:12:20 @ He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders.
nkjv@Job:12:23 @ He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them.
nkjv@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light, And He makes them stagger like a drunken man.
nkjv@Job:13:1 @ "Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it.
nkjv@Job:13:5 @ Oh, that you would be silent, And it would be your wisdom!
nkjv@Job:13:8 @ Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for God?
nkjv@Job:13:9 @ Will it be well when He searches you out? Or can you mock Him as one mocks a man?
nkjv@Job:13:11 @ Will not His excellence make you afraid, And the dread of Him fall upon you?
nkjv@Job:13:12 @ Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.
nkjv@Job:13:13 @ "Hold your peace with me, and let me speak, Then let come on me what may!
nkjv@Job:13:15 @ Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.
nkjv@Job:13:17 @ Listen carefully to my speech, And to my declaration with your ears.
nkjv@Job:13:19 @ Who is he who will contend with me? If now I hold my tongue, I perish.
nkjv@Job:13:20 @ "Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide myself from You:
nkjv@Job:13:22 @ Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then You respond to me.
nkjv@Job:13:24 @ Why do You hide Your face, And regard me as Your enemy?
nkjv@Job:13:25 @ Will You frighten a leaf driven to and fro? And will You pursue dry stubble?
nkjv@Job:13:28 @ "Man decays like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
nkjv@Job:14:3 @ And do You open Your eyes on such a one, And bring me to judgment with Yourself?
nkjv@Job:14:7 @ "For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease.
nkjv@Job:14:9 @ Yet at the scent of water it will bud And bring forth branches like a plant.
nkjv@Job:14:12 @ So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, They will not awake Nor be roused from their sleep.
nkjv@Job:14:19 @ As water wears away stones, And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth; So You destroy the hope of man.
nkjv@Job:14:20 @ You prevail forever against him, and he passes on; You change his countenance and send him away.
nkjv@Job:15:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
nkjv@Job:15:11 @ Are the consolations of God too small for you, And the word spoken gently with you?
nkjv@Job:15:15 @ If God puts no trust in His saints, And the heavens are not pure in His sight,
nkjv@Job:15:17 @ "I will tell you, hear me; What I have seen I will declare,
nkjv@Job:15:18 @ What wise men have told, Not hiding anything received from their fathers,
nkjv@Job:15:19 @ To whom alone the land was given, And no alien passed among them:
nkjv@Job:15:20 @ The wicked man writhes with pain all his days, And the number of years is hidden from the oppressor.
nkjv@Job:15:32 @ It will be accomplished before his time, And his branch will not be green.
nkjv@Job:15:34 @ For the company of hypocrites will be barren, And fire will consume the tents of bribery.
nkjv@Job:16:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
nkjv@Job:16:3 @ Shall words of wind have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
nkjv@Job:16:5 @ But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.
nkjv@Job:16:6 @ "Though I speak, my grief is not relieved; And if I remain silent, how am I eased?
nkjv@Job:16:9 @ He tears me in His wrath, and hates me; He gnashes at me with His teeth; My adversary sharpens His gaze on me.
nkjv@Job:16:12 @ I was at ease, but He has shattered me; He also has taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces; He has set me up for His target,
nkjv@Job:16:17 @ Although no violence is in my hands, And my prayer is pure.
nkjv@Job:16:19 @ Surely even now my witness is in heaven, And my evidence is on high.
nkjv@Job:16:20 @ My friends scorn me; My eyes pour out tears to God.
nkjv@Job:16:22 @ For when a few years are finished, I shall go the way of no return.
nkjv@Job:17:1 @ "My spirit is broken, My days are extinguished, The grave is ready for me.
nkjv@Job:17:4 @ For You have hidden their heart from understanding; Therefore You will not exalt them.
nkjv@Job:17:5 @ He who speaks flattery to his friends, Even the eyes of his children will fail.
nkjv@Job:17:6 @ "But He has made me a byword of the people, And I have become one in whose face men spit.
nkjv@Job:17:8 @ Upright men are astonished at this, And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.
nkjv@Job:17:11 @ My days are past, My purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.
nkjv@Job:17:15 @ Where then is my hope? As for my hope, who can see it?
nkjv@Job:18:1 @ Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
nkjv@Job:18:2 @ "How long till you put an end to words? Gain understanding, and afterward we will speak.
nkjv@Job:18:4 @ You who tear yourself in anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for you? Or shall the rock be removed from its place?
nkjv@Job:18:6 @ The light is dark in his tent, And his lamp beside him is put out.
nkjv@Job:18:7 @ The steps of his strength are shortened, And his own counsel casts him down.
nkjv@Job:18:10 @ A noose is hidden for him on the ground, And a trap for him in the road.
nkjv@Job:18:11 @ Terrors frighten him on every side, And drive him to his feet.
nkjv@Job:18:12 @ His strength is starved, And destruction is ready at his side.
nkjv@Job:18:14 @ He is uprooted from the shelter of his tent, And they parade him before the king of terrors.
nkjv@Job:18:15 @ They dwell in his tent who are none of his; Brimstone is scattered on his dwelling.
nkjv@Job:18:17 @ The memory of him perishes from the earth, And he has no name among the renowned.
nkjv@Job:18:18 @ He is driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.
nkjv@Job:18:20 @ Those in the west are astonished at his day, As those in the east are frightened.
nkjv@Job:19:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
nkjv@Job:19:2 @ "How long will you torment my soul, And break me in pieces with words?
nkjv@Job:19:3 @ These ten times you have reproached me; You are not ashamed that you have wronged me.
nkjv@Job:19:6 @ Know then that God has wronged me, And has surrounded me with His net.
nkjv@Job:19:8 @ He has fenced up my way, so that I cannot pass; And He has set darkness in my paths.
nkjv@Job:19:9 @ He has stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.
nkjv@Job:19:11 @ He has also kindled His wrath against me, And He counts me as one of His enemies.
nkjv@Job:19:12 @ His troops come together And build up their road against me; They encamp all around my tent.
nkjv@Job:19:14 @ My relatives have failed, And my close friends have forgotten me.
nkjv@Job:19:15 @ Those who dwell in my house, and my maidservants, Count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.
nkjv@Job:19:17 @ My breath is offensive to my wife, And I am repulsive to the children of my own body.
nkjv@Job:19:18 @ Even young children despise me; I arise, and they speak against me.
nkjv@Job:19:19 @ All my close friends abhor me, And those whom I love have turned against me.
nkjv@Job:19:21 @ "Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends, For the hand of God has struck me!
nkjv@Job:19:23 @ "Oh, that my words were written! Oh, that they were inscribed in a book!
nkjv@Job:19:24 @ That they were engraved on a rock With an iron pen and lead, forever!
nkjv@Job:19:29 @ Be afraid of the sword for yourselves; For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, That you may know there is a judgment."
nkjv@Job:20:1 @ Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
nkjv@Job:20:5 @ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment?
nkjv@Job:20:6 @ Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens, And his head reaches to the clouds,
nkjv@Job:20:7 @ Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse; Those who have seen him will say, "Where is he?'
nkjv@Job:20:10 @ His children will seek the favor of the poor, And his hands will restore his wealth.
nkjv@Job:20:14 @ Yet his food in his stomach turns sour; It becomes cobra venom within him.
nkjv@Job:20:18 @ He will restore that for which he labored, And will not swallow it down; From the proceeds of business He will get no enjoyment.
nkjv@Job:20:19 @ For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor, He has violently seized a house which he did not build.
nkjv@Job:20:22 @ In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress; Every hand of misery will come against him.
nkjv@Job:20:23 @ When he is about to fill his stomach, God will cast on him the fury of His wrath, And will rain it on him while he is eating.
nkjv@Job:20:26 @ Total darkness is reserved for his treasures. An unfanned fire will consume him; It shall go ill with him who is left in his tent.
nkjv@Job:20:27 @ The heavens will reveal his iniquity, And the earth will rise up against him.
nkjv@Job:21:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
nkjv@Job:21:2 @ "Listen carefully to my speech, And let this be your consolation.
nkjv@Job:21:3 @ Bear with me that I may speak, And after I have spoken, keep mocking.
nkjv@Job:21:4 @ "As for me, is my complaint against man? And if it were, why should I not be impatient?
nkjv@Job:21:6 @ Even when I remember I am terrified, And trembling takes hold of my flesh.
nkjv@Job:21:8 @ Their descendants are established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.
nkjv@Job:21:11 @ They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.
nkjv@Job:21:13 @ They spend their days in wealth, And in a moment go down to the grave.
nkjv@Job:21:17 @ "How often is the lamp of the wicked put out? How often does their destruction come upon them, The sorrows God distributes in His anger?
nkjv@Job:21:19 @ They say, "God lays up one's iniquity for his children'; Let Him recompense him, that he may know it.
nkjv@Job:21:21 @ For what does he care about his household after him, When the number of his months is cut in half?
nkjv@Job:21:23 @ One dies in his full strength, Being wholly at ease and secure;
nkjv@Job:21:25 @ Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul, Never having eaten with pleasure.
nkjv@Job:21:28 @ For you say, "Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent, The dwelling place of the wicked?'
nkjv@Job:21:34 @ How then can you comfort me with empty words, Since falsehood remains in your answers?"
nkjv@Job:22:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
nkjv@Job:22:4 @ "Is it because of your fear of Him that He corrects you, And enters into judgment with you?
nkjv@Job:22:5 @ Is not your wickedness great, And your iniquity without end?
nkjv@Job:22:6 @ For you have taken pledges from your brother for no reason, And stripped the naked of their clothing.
nkjv@Job:22:7 @ You have not given the weary water to drink, And you have withheld bread from the hungry.
nkjv@Job:22:9 @ You have sent widows away empty, And the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
nkjv@Job:22:10 @ Therefore snares are all around you, And sudden fear troubles you,
nkjv@Job:22:12 @ "Is not God in the height of heaven? And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
nkjv@Job:22:14 @ Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see, And He walks above the circle of heaven.'
nkjv@Job:22:15 @ Will you keep to the old way Which wicked men have trod,
nkjv@Job:22:19 @ "The righteous see it and are glad, And the innocent laugh at them:
nkjv@Job:22:23 @ If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up; You will remove iniquity far from your tents.
nkjv@Job:22:24 @ Then you will lay your gold in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks.
nkjv@Job:22:26 @ For then you will have your delight in the Almighty, And lift up your face to God.
nkjv@Job:22:29 @ When they cast you down, and you say, "Exaltation will come!' Then He will save the humble person.
nkjv@Job:22:30 @ He will even deliver one who is not innocent; Yes, he will be delivered by the purity of your hands."
nkjv@Job:23:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
nkjv@Job:23:2 @ "Even today my complaint is bitter; My hand is listless because of my groaning.
nkjv@Job:23:4 @ I would present my case before Him, And fill my mouth with arguments.
nkjv@Job:23:6 @ Would He contend with me in His great power? No! But He would take note of me.
