noyes@Job:1:2 @ He had seven sons and three daughters.

noyes@Job:1:3 @ His substance was seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred she–asses, and a great number of servants; so that he was the greatest of all the inhabitants of the East.

noyes@Job:1:4 @ Now it was the custom of his sons to make a feast in their houses, each on his day, and to send and invite their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

noyes@Job:1:5 @ And when the days of their feasting had gone round, Job used to send for them and sanctify them, and to rise up early in the morning and offer burnt–offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

noyes@Job:1:6 @ Now on a certain day the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, and Satan also came among them.

noyes@Job:1:7 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it.

noyes@Job:1:8 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil?

noyes@Job:1:9 @ Then Satan answered Jehovah, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?

noyes@Job:1:10 @ Hast thou not placed a hedge around him, and around his house, and around all his possessions? Thou hast prospered the work of his hands, and his herds are greatly increased in the land.

noyes@Job:1:11 @ But only put forth thy hand, and touch whatever he possesseth, and to thy face will he renounce thee.

noyes@Job:1:12 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; but upon him lay not thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.

noyes@Job:1:13 @ Now on a certain day the sons and daughters of Job were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house,

noyes@Job:1:14 @ when a messenger came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses feeding beside them,

noyes@Job:1:15 @ and the Sabaeans fell upon them, and took them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

noyes@Job:1:16 @ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

noyes@Job:1:17 @ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldaeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and carried them away; the servants also they slew with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

noyes@Job:1:18 @ While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother’s house;

noyes@Job:1:19 @ and, lo! there came a great wind from the desert, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

noyes@Job:1:21 @ and said, Naked came I forth from my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither. Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah!

noyes@Job:1:22 @ In all this Job sinned not, nor uttered vain words against God.

noyes@Job:2:1 @ Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah; and Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.

noyes@Job:2:2 @ And Jehovah said to Satan, Whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From wandering over the earth, and walking up and down in it.

noyes@Job:2:3 @ Then said Jehovah to Satan, Hast thou observed my servant Job, that there is none like him upon the earth, an upright and good man, fearing God and departing from evil? And still he holdeth fast his integrity, although thou didst excite me against him to destroy him without a cause.

noyes@Job:2:4 @ And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life.

noyes@Job:2:8 @ And he took a potsherd to scrape himself withal, and sat down among the ashes.

noyes@Job:2:10 @ But he said to her, Thou talkest like one of the foolish women. What! shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this, Job sinned not with his lips.

noyes@Job:2:13 @ And they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word to him; for they saw that his grief was very great.

noyes@Job:3:3 @ Perish the day in which I was born, and the night which said, "A man–child is conceived!"

noyes@Job:3:5 @ Let darkness and the shadow of death redeem it; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let whatever darkeneth the day terrify it!

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

noyes@Job:3:7 @ O let that night be unfruitful! Let there be in it no voice of joy;

noyes@Job:3:9 @ Let the stars of its twilight be darkened; Let it long for light, and have none; Neither let it see the eyelashes of the morning!

noyes@Job:3:10 @ Because it shut not up the doors of my mother’s womb, And hid not trouble from mine eyes.

noyes@Job:3:15 @ Or with princes that had gold, And filled their houses with silver;

noyes@Job:3:16 @ Or, as a hidden untimely birth, I had perished; As infants which never saw the light.

noyes@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease from troubling; There the weary are at rest.

noyes@Job:3:18 @ There the prisoners rest together; They hear not the voice of the oppressor.

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

noyes@Job:3:20 @ Why giveth He light to him that is in misery, And life to the bitter in soul,

noyes@Job:3:24 @ For my sighing cometh before I eat, And my groans are poured out like water.

noyes@Job:3:25 @ For that which I dread overtaketh me; That at which I shudder cometh upon me.

noyes@Job:3:26 @ I have no peace, nor quiet, nor respite: Misery cometh upon me continually.

noyes@Job:4:7 @ Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished being innocent? Or where have the righteous been cut off?

noyes@Job:4:9 @ By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of his nostrils they are consumed.

noyes@Job:4:10 @ The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, And the teeth of the young lions are broken.

noyes@Job:4:11 @ The fierce lion perisheth for lack of prey, And the whelps of the lioness are scattered abroad.

noyes@Job:4:12 @ A word was once secretly brought to me, And mine ear caught a whisper thereof.

noyes@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but its form I could not discern; An image was before mine eyes; There was silence, and I heard a voice:

noyes@Job:4:17 @ "Shall mortal man be more just than God? Shall man be more pure than his Maker?

noyes@Job:4:18 @ Behold, he putteth no trust in his ministering spirits, And his angels he chargeth with frailty.

noyes@Job:4:20 @ Between morning and evening are they destroyed; They perish for ever, and none regardeth it.

noyes@Job:5:1 @ Call now, see if any will answer thee! And to which of the holy ones wilt thou look?

noyes@Job:5:2 @ Verily grief destroyeth the fool, And wrath consumeth the weak man.

noyes@Job:5:4 @ His children are far from safety; They are oppressed at the gate, and there is none to deliver them.

noyes@Job:5:5 @ His harvest the hungry devour, Carrying it even through the thorns; And a snare gapeth after his substance.

noyes@Job:5:9 @ Who doeth great things and unsearchable; Yea, marvellous things without number;

noyes@Job:5:10 @ Who giveth rain upon the earth, And sendeth water upon the fields;

noyes@Job:5:11 @ Who placeth the lowly in high places, And restoreth the afflicted to prosperity;

noyes@Job:5:12 @ Who disappointeth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprises;

noyes@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the daytime; They grope at noon as if it were night.

noyes@Job:5:15 @ So he saveth the persecuted from their mouth; The oppressed from the hand of the mighty.

noyes@Job:5:16 @ So the poor hath hope, And iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

noyes@Job:5:17 @ Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth; Therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty.

noyes@Job:5:19 @ In six troubles will he deliver thee; Yea, in seven shall no evil touch thee.

noyes@Job:5:20 @ In famine he will redeem thee from death, And in war from the power of the sword.

noyes@Job:5:25 @ Thou shalt see thy descendants numerous, And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

noyes@Job:5:26 @ Thou shalt come to thy grave in full age, As a shock of corn gathered in its season.

noyes@Job:6:1 @ Then Job answered and said:

noyes@Job:6:2 @ O that my grief were weighed thoroughly! That my calamities were put together in the balance!

noyes@Job:6:3 @ Surely they would be heavier than the sand of the sea; On this account were my words rash.

noyes@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty have pierced me; Their poison drinketh up my spirit; The terrors of God set themselves in array against me.

noyes@Job:6:5 @ Doth the wild ass bray in the midst of grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?

noyes@Job:6:6 @ Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? Is there any taste in the white of an egg?

noyes@Job:6:13 @ Alas, there is no help within me! Deliverance is driven from me!

noyes@Job:6:18 @ The caravans turn aside to them on their way; They go up into the desert, and perish.

noyes@Job:6:21 @ So ye also are nothing; Ye see a terror, and shrink back.

noyes@Job:6:23 @ Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? Or, Rescue me from the hand of the violent?

noyes@Job:6:24 @ Convince me, and I will hold my peace; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

noyes@Job:6:25 @ How powerful are the words of truth! But what do your reproaches prove?

noyes@Job:6:27 @ Truly ye spread a net for the fatherless; Ye dig a pit for your friend.

noyes@Job:6:28 @ Look now upon me, I pray you; For to your very face can I speak falsehood?

noyes@Job:6:29 @ Return, I pray, and let there be no unfairness; Yea, return; ––still is my cause righteous.

noyes@Job:6:30 @ Is there iniquity on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern what is sinful?

noyes@Job:7:1 @ Is there not a war–service for man on the earth? Are not his days as the days of a hireling?

noyes@Job:7:2 @ As a servant panteth for the shade, And as a hireling looketh for his wages,

noyes@Job:7:6 @ My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle; They pass away without hope.

noyes@Job:7:7 @ O remember that my life is a breath; That mine eye shall no more see good!

noyes@Job:7:11 @ Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

noyes@Job:7:12 @ Am I a sea, or a sea–monster, That thou settest a watch over me?

noyes@Job:7:14 @ Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me with visions;

noyes@Job:7:15 @ So that my soul chooseth strangling, Yea, death, rather than these my bones.

noyes@Job:7:18 @ That thou shouldst visit him every morning, And prove him every moment?

noyes@Job:7:19 @ How long ere thou wilt look away from me, And let me alone, till I have time to breathe?

noyes@Job:7:20 @ If I have sinned, what have I done to thee, O thou watcher of men! Why hast thou set me up as thy mark, So that I have become a burden to myself?

noyes@Job:8:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

noyes@Job:8:3 @ Will God pervert judgment? Or will the Almighty pervert justice?

noyes@Job:8:6 @ If thou wilt be pure and upright, Surely he will yet arise for thee, And prosper thy righteous habitation;

noyes@Job:8:7 @ So that thy beginning shall be small, And thy latter end very great.

noyes@Job:8:8 @ For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, And mark what hath been searched out by their fathers;

noyes@Job:8:9 @ (For we are of yesterday and know nothing, Since our days upon the earth are but a shadow;)

noyes@Job:8:10 @ Will not they instruct thee, and tell thee, And utter words from their understanding?

noyes@Job:8:11 @ "Can the paper–reed grow up without mire? Can the bulrush grow without water?

noyes@Job:8:12 @ While it is yet in its greenness, and is not cut down, It withereth before any other herb.

noyes@Job:8:13 @ Such is the fate of all who forget God; So perisheth the hope of the ungodly.

noyes@Job:8:14 @ His confidence shall come to nought, And his trust shall prove a spider’s web.

noyes@Job:8:16 @ He is in full green before the sun, And his branches shoot forth over his garden;

noyes@Job:8:18 @ When he shall be destroyed from his place, It shall deny him, saying, ‘I never saw thee.’

noyes@Job:8:19 @ Lo! such is the joy of his course! And others shall spring up from his place"

noyes@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not cast away an upright man; Nor will he help the evil–doers.

noyes@Job:8:21 @ While he filleth thy mouth with laughter, And thy lips with gladness,

noyes@Job:9:1 @ Then Job answered and said:

noyes@Job:9:3 @ If he choose to contend with him, He cannot answer him to one charge of a thousand.

noyes@Job:9:4 @ He is excellent in wisdom, mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?

noyes@Job:9:5 @ He removeth the mountains, and they know it not; He overturneth them in his anger.

noyes@Job:9:6 @ He shaketh the earth out of her place, And the pillars thereof tremble.

noyes@Job:9:9 @ He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the secret chambers of the South.

noyes@Job:9:10 @ He doeth great things past finding out, Yea, wonderful things without number.

noyes@Job:9:11 @ Lo! he goeth by me, but I see him not; He passeth along, but I do not perceive him.

noyes@Job:9:12 @ Lo! he seizeth, and who can hinder him? Who will say to him, What doest thou?

noyes@Job:9:13 @ God will not turn away his anger; The proud helpers are brought low before him.

noyes@Job:9:14 @ How much less shall I answer him, And choose out words to contend with him?

noyes@Job:9:15 @ Though I were innocent, I would not answer him; I would cast myself on the mercy of my judge.

noyes@Job:9:16 @ Should I call, and he make answer to me, I could not believe that he listened to my voice,––

noyes@Job:9:18 @ Who will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness!

noyes@Job:9:19 @ If I look to strength, "Lo! here am I!" If to justice, "Who shall summon me to trial?"

noyes@Job:9:20 @ Though I were upright, yet must my own mouth condemn me; Though I were innocent, He would prove me perverse.

noyes@Job:9:21 @ Though I were innocent, I would not care for myself; I would despise my life.

noyes@Job:9:22 @ It is all one; therefore I will affirm, He destroyeth the righteous and the wicked alike.

noyes@Job:9:23 @ When the scourge bringeth sudden destruction, He laugheth at the sufferings of the innocent.

noyes@Job:9:24 @ The earth is given into the hands of the wicked; He covereth the face of the judges thereof; If it be not He, who is it?

noyes@Job:9:25 @ My days have been swifter than a courier; They have fled away; they have seen no good.

noyes@Job:9:32 @ For He is not a man, as I am, that I may contend with him, And that we may go together into judgment;

noyes@Job:9:33 @ There is no umpire between us, Who may lay his hand upon us both.

noyes@Job:9:34 @ Let him take from me his rod, And not dismay me with his terrors,

noyes@Job:10:1 @ I am weary of my life; I will let loose within me my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

noyes@Job:10:2 @ I will say unto God, Do not condemn me! Show me wherefore thou contendest with me!

noyes@Job:10:6 @ That thou seekest after my iniquity, And searchest after my sin,

noyes@Job:10:7 @ Though thou knowest that I am not guilty, And that none can deliver from thy hand?

noyes@Job:10:8 @ Have thy hands completely fashioned and made me In every part, that thou mightst destroy me?

noyes@Job:10:9 @ O remember that thou hast moulded me as clay! And wilt thou bring me again to dust?

noyes@Job:10:12 @ Thou didst grant me life and favor, And thy protection preserved my breath:

noyes@Job:10:16 @ If I lift it up, like a lion thou huntest me, And again showest thyself terrible unto me.

noyes@Job:10:17 @ Thou renewest thy witnesses against me, And increasest thine anger toward me; New hosts continually rise up against me.

noyes@Job:10:18 @ Why then didst thou bring me forth from the womb? I should have perished, and no eye had seen me;

noyes@Job:10:22 @ The land of darkness like the blackness of death–shade, Where is no order, and where the light is as darkness.

noyes@Job:11:1 @ Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:

noyes@Job:11:2 @ Shall not the multitude of words receive an answer? Shall the man of words be justified?

noyes@Job:11:7 @ Canst thou search out the deep things of God? Canst thou find out the Almighty to perfection?

noyes@Job:11:8 @ ‘Tis high as heaven, what canst thou do? Deeper than hell, what canst thou know?

noyes@Job:11:9 @ The measure thereof is longer than the earth, And broader than the sea.

noyes@Job:11:11 @ For he knoweth the unrighteous; He seeth iniquity, when they do not observe it.

noyes@Job:11:12 @ But vain man is without understanding; Yea, man is born a wild ass’s colt.

noyes@Job:11:16 @ For thou shalt forget thy misery, Or remember it as waters that have passed away.

noyes@Job:11:17 @ Thy life shall be brighter than the noon–day; Now thou art in darkness, thou shalt then be as morning.

noyes@Job:11:18 @ Thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Now thou art disappointed, thou shalt then rest in safety.

noyes@Job:12:1 @ Then Job answered and said:

noyes@Job:12:3 @ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?

noyes@Job:12:4 @ I am become a laughing–stock to my friend,––I who call upon God, that he would answer me! The innocent and upright man is held in derision.

noyes@Job:12:6 @ The tents of robbers are in prosperity, And they who provoke God are secure, Who carry their God in their hand.

noyes@Job:12:10 @ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind.

noyes@Job:12:12 @ With the aged is wisdom, And with length of days is understanding.

noyes@Job:12:13 @ With Him are wisdom and strength; With Him counsel and understanding.

noyes@Job:12:15 @ Lo! he withholdeth the waters, and they are dried up; He sendeth them forth, and they lay waste the earth.

noyes@Job:12:16 @ With him are strength and wisdom; The deceived and the deceiver are his.

noyes@Job:12:19 @ He leadeth priests away captive, And overthroweth the mighty.

noyes@Job:12:20 @ He removeth speech from the trusty, And taketh away judgment from the elders.

noyes@Job:12:24 @ He taketh away the understanding of the great men of the land, And causeth them to wander in a wilderness, where is no path;

noyes@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light; He maketh them stagger like a drunken man.

noyes@Job:13:1 @ Lo! all this mine eye hath seen; Mine ear hath heard and understood it.

noyes@Job:13:2 @ What ye know, I know also; I am not inferior to you.

noyes@Job:13:4 @ For ye are forgers of lies; Physicians of no value, all of you!

noyes@Job:13:5 @ O that ye would altogether hold your peace! This, truly, would be wisdom in you.

noyes@Job:13:7 @ Will ye speak falsehood for God? Will ye utter deceit for him?

noyes@Job:13:8 @ Will ye be partial to his person? Will ye contend earnestly for God?

noyes@Job:13:10 @ Surely he will rebuke you, If ye secretly have respect to persons.

noyes@Job:13:16 @ This also shall be my deliverance; For no unrighteous man will come before him.

noyes@Job:13:18 @ Behold, I have now set in order my cause; I know that I am innocent.

noyes@Job:13:21 @ Let not thy hand be heavy upon me, And let not thy terrors make me afraid:

noyes@Job:13:22 @ Then call upon me, and I will answer; Or I will speak, and answer thou me.

noyes@Job:13:24 @ Wherefore dost thou hide thy face, And account me as thine enemy?

noyes@Job:13:26 @ For thou writest bitter things against me, And makest me inherit the sins of my youth.

noyes@Job:13:27 @ Yea, thou puttest my feet in the stocks, And waterest all my paths; Thou hemmest in the soles of my feet.

noyes@Job:14:2 @ He cometh forth as a flower, and is cut down; He fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.

noyes@Job:14:5 @ Seeing that his days are determined, And the number of his months, with thee, And that thou hast appointed him bounds which he cannot pass,

noyes@Job:14:7 @ For there is hope for a tree, If it be cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender branches will not fail;

noyes@Job:14:9 @ Through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth boughs, like a young plant.

noyes@Job:14:10 @ But man dieth, and he is gone! Man expireth, and where is he?

noyes@Job:14:11 @ The waters fail from the lake; And the stream wasteth and drieth up;

noyes@Job:14:13 @ O that thou wouldst hide me in the under–world! That thou wouldst conceal me till thy wrath be past! That thou wouldst appoint me a time, and then remember me!

noyes@Job:14:14 @ If a man die, can he live again? All the days of my war–service would I wait, Till my change should come.

noyes@Job:14:15 @ Thou wilt call, and I will answer thee; Thou wilt have compassion upon the work of thy hands!

noyes@Job:14:16 @ But now thou numberest my steps; Thou watchest over my sins.

noyes@Job:14:19 @ As the waters wear away the stones, And the floods wash away the dust of the earth, So thou destroyest the hope of man.

noyes@Job:14:20 @ Thou prevailest against him continually, and he perisheth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

noyes@Job:14:21 @ His sons come to honor, but he knoweth it not; Or they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not.

noyes@Job:15:1 @ Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:

noyes@Job:15:2 @ Should a wise man answer with arguments of wind, Or fill his bosom with the east wind?

noyes@Job:15:4 @ Behold, thou makest the fear of God a vain thing, And discouragest prayer before him.

noyes@Job:15:9 @ What dost thou know, that we know not also? What dost thou understand, that is a secret to us?

noyes@Job:15:10 @ With us are the aged and hoary–headed; Much older than thy father.

noyes@Job:15:13 @ For against God hast thou turned thy spirit, And uttered such words from thy mouth.

noyes@Job:15:15 @ Behold, He putteth no trust in his ministering spirits, And the heavens are not pure in his sight;

noyes@Job:15:16 @ Much less, abominable and polluted man, Who drinketh iniquity as water.

noyes@Job:15:18 @ Which the wise men have told, And not kept concealed, as received from their fathers;

noyes@Job:15:19 @ To whom alone the land was given, And among whom not a stranger wandered.

noyes@Job:15:21 @ A fearful sound is in his ears; In peace the destroyer cometh upon him.

noyes@Job:15:23 @ He wandereth about, seeking bread; He knoweth that a day of darkness is at hand.

noyes@Job:15:26 @ And ran against him with outstretched neck, With the thick bosses of his bucklers;

noyes@Job:15:27 @ Because he covered his face with fatness, And gathered fat upon his loins,

noyes@Job:15:34 @ The house of the unrighteous shall be famished, And fire shall consume the tents of bribery.

noyes@Job:15:35 @ They conceive mischief, and bring forth misery, And their breast deviseth deceit."

noyes@Job:16:1 @ But Job answered and said:

noyes@Job:16:2 @ Of such things as these I have heard enough! Miserable comforters are ye all!

noyes@Job:16:3 @ Will there ever be an end to words of wind? What stirreth thee up, that thou answerest?

noyes@Job:16:4 @ I also might speak like you, If ye were now in my place; I might string together words against you, And shake my head at you.

noyes@Job:16:9 @ His anger teareth my flesh, and pursueth me; He gnasheth upon me with his teeth; My adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

noyes@Job:16:11 @ God hath given me a prey to the unrighteous, And delivered me into the hands of the wicked.

noyes@Job:16:13 @ His archers encompass me around; He pierceth my reins, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.

noyes@Job:16:17 @ Yet is there no injustice in my bands. And my prayer hath been pure.

noyes@Job:16:18 @ O earth! cover not thou my blood, And let there be no hiding–place for my cry!

noyes@Job:16:20 @ My friends have me in derision, But my eye poureth out tears unto God.

noyes@Job:17:2 @ Are not revilers before me? And doth not my eye dwell upon their provocations?

noyes@Job:17:4 @ Behold, thou hast blinded their understanding; Therefore thou wilt not suffer them to prevail.

noyes@Job:17:5 @ He who delivereth up his friends as a prey,––The eyes of his children shall fail.

noyes@Job:17:7 @ My eye therefore is dim with sorrow, And all my limbs are as a shadow.

noyes@Job:17:9 @ The righteous will also hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands will gather strength.

noyes@Job:17:12 @ Night hath become day to me; The light bordereth on darkness.

noyes@Job:17:14 @ I say to the pit, Thou art my father! And to the worm, My mother! and, My sister!

noyes@Job:17:15 @ Where then is my hope? Yea, my hope, who shall see it?

noyes@Job:17:16 @ It must go down to the bars of the under–world, As soon as there is rest for me in the dust.

noyes@Job:18:1 @ Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:

noyes@Job:18:2 @ How long ere ye make an end of words? Understand, and then we will speak!

noyes@Job:18:4 @ Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger! Must the earth be deserted for thee, And the rock removed from its place?

noyes@Job:18:6 @ Light shall become darkness in his tent, And his lamp over him shall go out.

noyes@Job:18:11 @ Terrors affright him on every side, And harass him at his heels.

noyes@Job:18:12 @ His strength is wasted by hunger, And destruction is ready at his side.

noyes@Job:18:14 @ He is torn from his tent, which was his confidence, And is borne away to the king of terrors.

noyes@Job:18:15 @ They who are none of his shall dwell in his tent; Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

noyes@Job:18:16 @ His roots below shall be dried up, And his branches above shall be withered.

noyes@Job:18:17 @ His memory perisheth from the earth, And no name hath he in the land.

noyes@Job:18:20 @ They that come after him shall be amazed at his fate, As they that were before them were struck with horror.

noyes@Job:19:1 @ But Job answered and said:

noyes@Job:19:4 @ And be it, indeed, that I have erred, My error abideth with myself.

noyes@Job:19:7 @ Behold, I complain of wrong, but receive no answer; I cry aloud, but obtain no justice.

noyes@Job:19:10 @ He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone! He hath torn up my hope like a tree.

noyes@Job:19:11 @ He kindleth his anger against me, And counteth me as his enemy.

noyes@Job:19:12 @ His troops advance together against me; They throw up for themselves a way to me, And encamp around my dwelling.

noyes@Job:19:15 @ The foreigners of my house, yea, my own maid–servants, regard me as a stranger; I am an alien in their eyes.

noyes@Job:19:16 @ I call my servant, and he maketh no answer; With my own mouth do I entreat him.

noyes@Job:19:17 @ My breath is become strange to my wife, And my prayers also to my own mother’s sons.

noyes@Job:19:22 @ Why do ye persecute me like God, And are not satisfied with my flesh?

noyes@Job:19:23 @ O that my words were now written! O that they were marked down in a scroll!

noyes@Job:19:24 @ That with an iron pen, and with lead, They were engraven upon the rock for ever!

noyes@Job:19:25 @ Yet I know that my Vindicator liveth, And will hereafter stand up on the earth;

noyes@Job:19:27 @ Yea, I shall see him my friend; My eyes shall behold him, and not another: For this, my soul panteth within me.

noyes@Job:19:28 @ Since ye say, "How may we persecute him, And find grounds of accusation against him?"

noyes@Job:20:1 @ Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said:

noyes@Job:20:3 @ I have heard my shameful rebuke; And the spirit, from my understanding, answereth for me.

noyes@Job:20:7 @ Yet shall he perish for ever, and be mingled with dust; They who saw him shall say, Where is he?

noyes@Job:20:9 @ The eye also which saw him shall see him no more, And his dwelling–place shall never more behold him.

noyes@Job:20:12 @ Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, Though he hide it under his tongue,

noyes@Job:20:13 @ Though he cherish it, and will not part with it, And keep it fast in his mouth,

noyes@Job:20:16 @ He shall suck the poison of asps; The tongue of the viper shall destroy him.

noyes@Job:20:17 @ He shall never see the flowing streams, And the rivers of honey and milk.

noyes@Job:20:18 @ The fruits of his toil he shall give back, and shall not enjoy them: It is substance to be restored, and he shall not rejoice therein.

noyes@Job:20:21 @ Because nothing escaped his greediness, His prosperity shall not endure.

noyes@Job:20:22 @ In the fulness of his abundance he shall be brought low; Every hand of the wretched shall come upon him.

noyes@Job:20:23 @ He shall, indeed, have wherewith to fill himself: God shall send upon him the fury of his anger, And rain it down upon him for his food.

noyes@Job:20:24 @ If he fleeth from the iron weapon, The bow of brass shall pierce him through.

noyes@Job:20:25 @ He draweth the arrow, and it cometh forth from his body; Yea, the glittering steel cometh out of his gall. Terrors are upon him;

noyes@Job:20:26 @ Calamity of every kind is treasured up for him. A fire not blown shall consume him; It shall consume whatever is left in his tent.

noyes@Job:20:29 @ Such is the portion of the wicked man from God, And the inheritance appointed for him by the Almighty.

noyes@Job:21:1 @ But Job answered and said:

noyes@Job:21:3 @ Bear with me, that I may speak; And after I have spoken, mock on!

noyes@Job:21:4 @ Is my complaint concerning man? Why then should I not be angry?

noyes@Job:21:10 @ Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; Their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.

noyes@Job:21:13 @ They spend their days in prosperity, And in a moment go down to the under–world.

noyes@Job:21:15 @ Who is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what will it profit us, if we pray to him?"

noyes@Job:21:16 @ "Lo! their prosperity is not secure in their hands! Far from me be the conduct of the wicked!"

noyes@Job:21:17 @ How often is it, that the lamp of the wicked is put out? And that destruction cometh upon them, And that He dispenseth to them tribulations in his anger?

noyes@Job:21:19 @ "But" "God layeth up his iniquity for his children." Let him requite the offender, and let him feel it!

noyes@Job:21:21 @ For what concern hath he for his household after him, When the number of his own months is completed?

noyes@Job:21:23 @ One dieth in the fulness of his prosperity, Being wholly at ease and quiet;

noyes@Job:21:25 @ Another dieth in bitterness of soul, And hath not tasted pleasure.

noyes@Job:21:26 @ Alike they lie down in the dust, And the worms cover them.

noyes@Job:21:28 @ For ye say, "Where is the house of the oppressor, And where the dwelling–places of the wicked?"

noyes@Job:21:29 @ Have ye never inquired of travellers, And do ye not know their tokens,

noyes@Job:21:32 @ Even this man is borne with honor to the grave; Yea, he watcheth over his tomb.

noyes@Job:21:33 @ Sweet to him are the sods of the valley: And all men move after him, As multitudes without number before him.

noyes@Job:21:34 @ Why then do ye offer your vain consolations? Your answers continue false.

noyes@Job:22:1 @ Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:

noyes@Job:22:4 @ Will he contend with thee because he feareth thee? Will he enter with thee into judgment?

noyes@Job:22:5 @ Hath not thy wickedness been great? Have not thine iniquities been numberless?

noyes@Job:22:6 @ For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother unjustly, And stripped the poor of their clothing.

noyes@Job:22:7 @ Thou hast given the weary no water to drink, And withholden bread from the hungry.

noyes@Job:22:8 @ But the man of power, his was the land, And the honorable man dwelt in it.

noyes@Job:22:9 @ Thou hast sent widows away empty, And broken the arms of the fatherless.

noyes@Job:22:10 @ Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear confoundeth thee;

noyes@Job:22:11 @ Or darkness, through which thou canst not see, And floods of water cover thee.

noyes@Job:22:13 @ Hence thou sayest, "What doth God know? Can he govern behind the thick darkness?

noyes@Job:22:16 @ Who were cut down before their time, And whose foundations were swept away by a flood?

noyes@Job:22:19 @ The righteous see their fate, and rejoice; And the innocent hold them in derision.

noyes@Job:22:20 @ "Truly our adversary is destroyed, And fire hath consumed his abundance!"

noyes@Job:22:21 @ Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thus shall prosperity return to thee.

noyes@Job:22:25 @ Then shall the Almighty be thy gold, Yea, treasures of silver unto thee;

noyes@Job:22:27 @ Thou shalt pray to him, and he shall hear thee, And thou shalt perform thy vows.

noyes@Job:22:28 @ The purpose which thou formest shall prosper with thee, And light shall shine upon thy ways.

noyes@Job:22:29 @ When men are cast down, thou shalt say, "There lifting up!" And the humble person he will save.

noyes@Job:22:30 @ He will deliver even him that is not innocent. The purity of thy hands shall save him.

noyes@Job:23:1 @ Then Job answered and said:

noyes@Job:23:2 @ Still is my complaint bitter; But my wound is deeper than my groaning.

noyes@Job:23:3 @ O that I knew where I might find him! That I might go before his throne!

noyes@Job:23:4 @ I would order my cause before him, And fill my mouth with arguments;

noyes@Job:23:5 @ I should know what he would answer me, And understand what he would say to me.

noyes@Job:23:6 @ Would he contend with me with his mighty power? No! he would have regard to me.

noyes@Job:23:8 @ But, behold, I go eastward, and he is not there; And westward, but I cannot perceive him;

noyes@Job:23:9 @ To the north, where he worketh, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the south, and I cannot see him.

noyes@Job:23:14 @ He performeth that which is appointed for me; And many such things are in his mind!

noyes@Job:23:15 @ Therefore I am in terror on account of him; When I consider, I am afraid of him.

noyes@Job:23:16 @ For God maketh my heart faint; Yea, the Almighty terrifieth me;

noyes@Job:24:3 @ They drive away the ass of the fatherless, And take the widow’s ox for a pledge.

noyes@Job:24:5 @ Behold, like wild asses of the desert, they go forth to their work; They search for prey; The wilderness supplieth them food for their children.

noyes@Job:24:6 @ In the fields they reap the harvest, And gather the vintage of the oppressor.

noyes@Job:24:7 @ They lodge naked, without clothing, And without covering from the cold.

noyes@Job:24:8 @ They are drenched with the mountain showers, And embrace the rock for want of shelter.

noyes@Job:24:9 @ The fatherless are torn from the breast, And the garment of the needy is taken for a pledge.

noyes@Job:24:11 @ They make oil within their walls, And tread the wine–vat, yet suffer thirst.

noyes@Job:24:12 @ From anguish the dying groan, And the wounded cry aloud; And God regardeth not their prayer!

noyes@Job:24:13 @ Others hate the light; They know not its ways, And abide not in its paths.

noyes@Job:24:14 @ With the light ariseth the murderer; He killeth the poor and needy; In the night he is as a thief.

noyes@Job:24:15 @ The eye of the adulterer watcheth for the twilight; He saith, "No eye will see me," And putteth a mask upon his face.

noyes@Job:24:16 @ In the dark they break into houses; In the daytime they shut themselves up; They are strangers to the light.

noyes@Job:24:17 @ The morning is to them the very shadow of death; They are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death.

noyes@Job:24:18 @ Light are they on the face of the waters; They have an accursed portion in the earth; They come not near the vineyards.

noyes@Job:24:19 @ As drought and heat consume the snow waters, So doth the grave the wicked.

noyes@Job:24:20 @ His own mother forgetteth him; The worm feedeth sweetly on him; He is no more remembered, And iniquity is broken like a tree.

noyes@Job:24:22 @ He taketh away the mighty by his power; He riseth up, and no one is sure of life.

noyes@Job:24:24 @ They are exalted; ––in a little while they are gone! They are brought low, and die, like all others; And like the topmost ears of corn are they cut off.

noyes@Job:25:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:

noyes@Job:25:3 @ Is there any numbering of his hosts? And upon whom doth not his light arise?

noyes@Job:26:1 @ Then Job answered and said:

noyes@Job:26:4 @ For whom hast thou uttered these words? And whose spirit spake through thee?

noyes@Job:26:5 @ Before Him the shades tremble Beneath the waters and their inhabitants.

noyes@Job:26:6 @ The under–world is naked before him, And destruction is without covering.

noyes@Job:26:7 @ He stretcheth out the north over empty space, And hangeth the earth upon nothing.

noyes@Job:26:8 @ He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds, And the cloud is not rent under them.

noyes@Job:26:9 @ He covereth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his clouds upon it.

noyes@Job:26:10 @ He hath drawn a circular bound upon the waters, To the confines of light and darkness.

noyes@Job:26:12 @ By his power he stilleth the sea, Yea, by his wisdom he smiteth its pride.

noyes@Job:26:13 @ By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; His hand hath formed the fleeing Serpent.

noyes@Job:26:14 @ Lo! these are but the borders of his works; How faint the whisper we have heard of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?

noyes@Job:27:1 @ Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:

noyes@Job:27:4 @ Never shall my lips speak falsehood, Nor my tongue utter deceit.

noyes@Job:27:5 @ God forbid that I should acknowledge you to be just: To my last breath will I assert my integrity.

noyes@Job:27:11 @ I will teach you concerning the hand of God; That which is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

noyes@Job:27:12 @ Behold, ye yourselves have all seen it; Why then do ye cherish such vain thoughts?

noyes@Job:27:13 @ This is the portion of the wicked man from God,––The inheritance which oppressors receive from the Almighty.

noyes@Job:27:16 @ Though he heap up silver as dust, And procure raiment as clay,––

noyes@Job:27:17 @ He may procure, but the righteous shall wear it, And the innocent shall share the silver.

noyes@Job:27:20 @ Terrors pursue him like a flood; A tempest stealeth him away in the night.

noyes@Job:27:21 @ The east wind carrieth him away, and he perisheth; Yea, it sweepeth him away from his place.

noyes@Job:28:1 @ Truly there is a vein for silver, And a place for gold, which men refine.

noyes@Job:28:2 @ Iron is obtained from earth, And stone is melted into copper.

noyes@Job:28:4 @ From the place where they dwell they open a shaft; Forgotten by the feet, They hang down, they swing away from men.

noyes@Job:28:5 @ The earth, out of which cometh bread, Is torn up underneath, as it were by fire.

noyes@Job:28:6 @ Her stones are the place of sapphires, And she hath clods of gold for man.

noyes@Job:28:7 @ The path thereto no bird knoweth, And the vulture’s eye hath not seen it;

noyes@Job:28:8 @ The fierce wild beast hath not trodden it; The lion hath not passed over it.

noyes@Job:28:10 @ He cleaveth out streams in the rocks, And his eye seeth every precious thing;

noyes@Job:28:12 @ But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

noyes@Job:28:13 @ Man knoweth not the price thereof, Nor can it be found in the land of the living.

noyes@Job:28:15 @ It cannot be gotten for gold, Nor shall silver be weighed out as the price thereof.

noyes@Job:28:20 @ Whence then cometh wisdom? And where is the place of understanding?

noyes@Job:28:24 @ For he seeth to the ends of the earth, And surveyeth all things under the whole heaven.

noyes@Job:28:25 @ When he gave the winds their weight, And meted out the waters by measure;

noyes@Job:28:26 @ When he prescribed a law to the rain, And a path to the thunder–flash,––

noyes@Job:28:28 @ But he said unto man, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom, And to depart from evil is understanding.

noyes@Job:29:1 @ Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:

noyes@Job:29:2 @ O that I were as in months past, In the days when God was my guardian;

noyes@Job:29:3 @ When his lamp shined over my head, And when by his light I walked through darkness!

noyes@Job:29:4 @ As I was in the autumn of my days, When the friendship of God was over my tent;

noyes@Job:29:5 @ When the Almighty was yet with me, And my children were around me;

noyes@Job:29:6 @ When I bathed my steps in milk, And the rock poured me out rivers of oil!

noyes@Job:29:12 @ For I delivered the poor, when they cried; And the fatherless, who had none to help him.

noyes@Job:29:13 @ The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me, And I caused the heart of the widow to sing for joy.

noyes@Job:29:16 @ I was a father to the poor, And the cause of him I knew not I searched out;

noyes@Job:29:19 @ My root is spread abroad to the waters, And the dew abideth on my branches.

noyes@Job:29:20 @ My glory is fresh with me, And my bow gathereth strength in my hand."

noyes@Job:29:23 @ Yea, they waited for me as for the rain; They opened their mouths wide as for the latter rain.

noyes@Job:29:25 @ When I came among them, I sat as chief; I dwelt as a king in the midst of an army, As a comforter among mourners.

noyes@Job:30:1 @ But now they that are younger than I hold me in derision, Whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

noyes@Job:30:3 @ By want and hunger they are famished; They gnaw the dry desert, The darkness of desolate wastes.

noyes@Job:30:4 @ They gather purslain among the bushes, And the root of the broom is their bread.

noyes@Job:30:5 @ They are driven from the society of men; There is a cry after them as after a thief.

noyes@Job:30:7 @ They bray among the bushes; Under the brambles are they stretched out.

noyes@Job:30:13 @ They break up my path; They hasten my fall,––They who have no helper!

noyes@Job:30:15 @ Terrors are turned against me; They pursue my prosperity like the wind, And my welfare passeth away like a cloud.

noyes@Job:30:17 @ By night my bones are pierced; they are torn from me, And my gnawers take no rest.

noyes@Job:30:24 @ When He stretcheth out his hand, prayer availeth nothing; When He bringeth destruction, vain is the cry for help.

noyes@Job:30:28 @ I am black, but not by the sun; I stand up, and utter my cries in the congregation.

noyes@Job:30:29 @ I am become a brother to jackals, And a companion to ostriches.

noyes@Job:31:2 @ For what is the portion appointed by God from above, And the inheritance allotted by the Almighty from on high?

noyes@Job:31:3 @ Is not destruction for the wicked, And ruin for the workers of iniquity?

noyes@Job:31:4 @ Doth He not see my ways, And number all my steps?

noyes@Job:31:7 @ If my steps have turned aside from the way, And my heart gone after mine eyes, Or if any stain hath cleaved to my hand,

noyes@Job:31:8 @ Then I may sow, and another eat; And what I plant, may it be rooted up!

noyes@Job:31:10 @ Then let my wife grind for another, And let other men lie with her!

noyes@Job:31:11 @ For this were a heinous crime, Even a transgression to be punished by the judges;

noyes@Job:31:12 @ Yea, it were a fire that would consume to destruction, And root out all my increase.

noyes@Job:31:13 @ If I have refused justice to my man–servant or maid–servant, When they had a controversy with me,

noyes@Job:31:14 @ Then what shall I do when God riseth up? And when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

noyes@Job:31:17 @ If I have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not partaken of it;

noyes@Job:31:18 @ (Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And I have helped the widow from my mother’s womb;)

noyes@Job:31:19 @ If I have seen any one perishing for want of clothing, Or any poor man without covering;

noyes@Job:31:21 @ If I have shaken my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate,––

noyes@Job:31:22 @ Then may my shoulder fill from its blade, And my fore–arm be broken from its bone!

noyes@Job:31:23 @ For destruction from God was a terror to me, And before his majesty I could do nothing.

noyes@Job:31:28 @ This also were a crime to be punished by the judge; For I should have denied the God who is above.

noyes@Job:31:30 @ (Nay, I have not suffered my mouth to sin, By asking with curses his life;)

noyes@Job:31:31 @ If the men of my tent have not exclaimed, "Who is there that hath not been satisfied with his meat?"

noyes@Job:31:32 @ The stranger did not lodge in the street; I opened my doors to the traveller.

noyes@Job:31:33 @ Have I, after the manner of men, hidden my transgression, Concealing my iniquity in my bosom,

noyes@Job:31:34 @ Then let me be confounded before the great multitude! Let the contempt of families cover me with shame! Yea, let me keep silence! let me never appear abroad!

noyes@Job:31:35 @ O that there were one who would hear me! Behold my signature! let the Almighty answer me. And let mine adversary write down his charge!

noyes@Job:31:36 @ Truly I would wear it upon my shoulder; I would bind it upon me as a crown.

noyes@Job:31:38 @ If my land cry out against me, And its furrows bewail together;

noyes@Job:31:39 @ If I have eaten of its fruits without payment, And wrung out the life of its owners,

noyes@Job:32:1 @ So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.

noyes@Job:32:2 @ Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job was his wrath kindled, because he accounted himself righteous rather than God.

noyes@Job:32:3 @ Against his three friends also was his wrath kindled, because they had not found an answer, and yet had condemned Job.

noyes@Job:32:4 @ Now Elihu had delayed to reply to Job, because they were older than himself.

noyes@Job:32:5 @ But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, his wrath was kindled.

noyes@Job:32:6 @ Then spake Elihu, the son of Barachel, the Buzite, and said: I am young, and ye are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And durst not make known to you my opinion.

noyes@Job:32:8 @ But it is the spirit in man, Even the inspiration of the Almighty, that giveth him understanding.

noyes@Job:32:9 @ Great men are not always wise, Nor do the aged always understand what is right.

noyes@Job:32:10 @ Therefore, I pray, listen to me: I also will declare my opinion.

noyes@Job:32:12 @ Yea, I have attended to you; And behold, none of you hath refuted Job, Nor answered his words.

noyes@Job:32:13 @ Say not, then, "We have found out wisdom; God must conquer him, not man."

noyes@Job:32:14 @ He hath not directed his discourse against me, And with speeches like yours will I not answer him.

noyes@Job:32:15 @ They were confounded! they answered no more! They could say nothing!

noyes@Job:32:16 @ I waited, but they spake not; They stood still; they answered no more!

noyes@Job:32:17 @ Therefore will I answer, on my part; I also will show my opinion.

noyes@Job:32:18 @ For I am full of matter; The spirit within me constraineth me.

noyes@Job:32:20 @ I will speak, that I may be relieved; I will open my lips and answer.

noyes@Job:32:21 @ I will not be partial to any man’s person, Nor will I flatter any man.

noyes@Job:32:22 @ For I know not how to flatter; Soon would my Maker take me away.

noyes@Job:33:1 @ Hear, therefore, my discourse, I pray thee, O Job! And attend unto all my words!

noyes@Job:33:3 @ My words shall be in the uprightness of my heart; My lips shall utter knowledge purely.

noyes@Job:33:5 @ If thou art able, answer me; Set thyself in array against me; stand up!

noyes@Job:33:7 @ Behold, my terror cannot dismay thee, Nor can my greatness be heavy upon thee.

noyes@Job:33:9 @ "I am pure, and without transgression; I am clean, and there is no iniquity in me.

noyes@Job:33:12 @ Behold, in this thou art not right; I will answer thee; For God is greater than man.

noyes@Job:33:15 @ In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumber upon the bed;

noyes@Job:33:18 @ Thus he saveth him from the pit, Yea, his life from perishing by the sword.

noyes@Job:33:21 @ His flesh is consumed, that it cannot be seen, And his bones, that were invisible, are naked;

noyes@Job:33:22 @ Yea, his soul draweth near to the pit, And his life to the destroyers.

noyes@Job:33:23 @ But if there be with him a messenger, An interpreter, one of a thousand, Who may show unto man his duty,

noyes@Job:33:25 @ His flesh shall became fresher than a child’s; He shall return to the days of his youth.

noyes@Job:33:26 @ He shall pray to God, and he will be favorable to him, And permit him to see his face with joy, And restore unto man his righteousness.

noyes@Job:33:27 @ He shall sing among men, and say, "I sinned; I acted perversely; Yet hath he not requited me for it:

noyes@Job:33:28 @ He hath delivered me from going down to the pit, And my life beholdeth the light."

noyes@Job:33:29 @ Lo! all these things doeth God Time after time with man,

noyes@Job:33:32 @ Yet if thou hast any thing to say, answer me! Speak! for I desire to pronounce thee innocent.

noyes@Job:34:7 @ Where is the man like Job, Who drinketh impiety like water;

noyes@Job:34:8 @ Who goeth in company with evil–doers, And walketh with wicked men?

noyes@Job:34:10 @ Wherefore hearken to me, ye men of understanding! Far be iniquity from God; Yea, far be injustice from the Almighty!

noyes@Job:34:11 @ For what a man hath done he will requite him, And render to every one according to his deeds.

noyes@Job:34:12 @ Surely God will not do iniquity, Nor will the Almighty pervert justice.

noyes@Job:34:15 @ Then would all flesh expire together; Yea, man would return to the dust.

noyes@Job:34:16 @ If thou hast understanding, hear this! Give ear to the voice of my words!

noyes@Job:34:17 @ Shall he, that hateth justice, govern? Wilt thou then condemn the just and mighty One?

noyes@Job:34:20 @ In a moment they die; yea, at midnight Do the people stagger and pass away, And the mighty are destroyed without hand.

noyes@Job:34:22 @ There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, Where evil–doers may hide themselves.

noyes@Job:34:24 @ He dasheth in pieces the mighty without inquiry, And setteth up others in their stead.

noyes@Job:34:25 @ Therefore he knoweth their works, And in a night he overthroweth them, so that they are destroyed.

noyes@Job:34:26 @ On account of their wickedness he smiteth them, In the presence of many beholders;

noyes@Job:34:34 @ Men of understanding, Wise men, who hear me, will say,

noyes@Job:34:36 @ I desire that Job may be tried to the last, For answering like wicked men.

noyes@Job:35:1 @ Moreover Elihu proceeded, and said:

noyes@Job:35:4 @ I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee.

noyes@Job:35:10 @ But none saith, "Where is God, my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night;

noyes@Job:35:11 @ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of heaven?"

noyes@Job:35:12 @ There they cry aloud on account of the pride of the wicked; But he giveth no answer.

noyes@Job:35:15 @ But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Nor taken strict note of transgression,

noyes@Job:35:16 @ Therefore hath Job opened his mouth rashly, And multiplied words without knowledge.

noyes@Job:36:3 @ I will bring my knowledge from afar, And assert the justice of my Maker.

noyes@Job:36:5 @ Behold, God is great, but despiseth not any; Great is he in strength of understanding.

noyes@Job:36:6 @ He suffereth not the wicked to prosper, But rendereth justice to the oppressed.

noyes@Job:36:7 @ He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous; But establisheth them for ever with kings on the throne, That they may be exalted.

noyes@Job:36:8 @ And if they be bound in fetters, And holden in the cords of affliction,

noyes@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ And so I saw the wicked buried, while the righteous came and went from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city. This also is vanity.

noyes@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ For I gave my mind to all this, even to search out all this, that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God, and yet neither his love nor hatred doth any man know. All is before them.

noyes@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ All as to all. There is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good, to the clean, and to the unclean; to him that sacrificeth, and to him that sacrificeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner; he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

noyes@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil among all things which take place under the sun, that there is one event to all; therefore also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and afterward they go down to the dead.

noyes@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ I turned and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, nor yet bread to the wise, nor riches to men of understanding, nor favor to men of knowledge; but time and chance happen to them all.

noyes@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ This also have I seen; even wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great to me.

noyes@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city, and few men within it; and a great king came against it, and besieged it, and built great bulwarks against it.

noyes@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith, and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby.

noyes@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ If a serpent bite before he is charmed, then there is no advantage to the charmer.

noyes@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ A fool also multiplieth words, though no man knoweth what shall be; and who can tell him what shall be after him?

noyes@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ A feast is made for laughter, and wine makes merry; but money answereth all things.

noyes@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Curse not the king; no, not in thy thought; and curse not the rich in thy bed–chamber! for a bird of the air shall carry the voice; and that which hath wings shall tell the matter.
