Job:1:1 @ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.
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:1:7 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."
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:1:9 @ So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?
nkjv@Job:1:10 @ Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
nkjv@Job:1:11 @ But now, stretch out Your hand and touch all that he has, and he will surely curse You to Your face!"
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:1:17 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"
nkjv@Job:1:18 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,
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:2:2 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."
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:2:4 @ So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.
nkjv@Job:2:5 @ But stretch out Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will surely curse You to Your face!"
nkjv@Job:2:6 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life."
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:2:8 @ And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes.
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:3:3 @ "May the day perish on which I was born, And the night in which it was said, "A male child is conceived.'
nkjv@Job:3:4 @ May that day be darkness; May God above not seek it, Nor the light shine upon it.
nkjv@Job:3:5 @ May darkness and the shadow of death claim it; May a cloud settle on it; May the blackness of the day terrify it.
nkjv@Job:3:6 @ As for that night, may darkness seize it; May it not rejoice among the days of the year, May it not come into the number of the months.
nkjv@Job:3:8 @ May those curse it who curse the day, Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan.
nkjv@Job:3:9 @ May the stars of its morning be dark; May it look for light, but have none, And not see the dawning of the day;
nkjv@Job:3:10 @ Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb, Nor hide sorrow from my eyes.
nkjv@Job:3:11 @ "Why did I not die at birth? Why did I not perish when I came from the womb?
nkjv@Job:3:12 @ Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
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:3:14 @ With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built ruins for themselves,
nkjv@Job:3:15 @ Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver;
nkjv@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease from troubling, And there the weary are at rest.
nkjv@Job:3:18 @ There the prisoners rest together; They do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
nkjv@Job:3:19 @ The small and great are there, And the servant is free from his master.
nkjv@Job:3:20 @ "Why is light given to him who is in misery, And life to the bitter of soul,
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:4:5 @ But now it comes upon you, and you are weary; It touches you, and you are troubled.
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:4:9 @ By the blast of God they perish, And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.
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:4:11 @ The old lion perishes for lack of prey, And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
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:4:18 @ If He puts no trust in His servants, If He charges His angels with error,
nkjv@Job:4:19 @ How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before a moth?
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:5:1 @ "Call out now; Is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
nkjv@Job:5:3 @ I have seen the foolish taking root, But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.
nkjv@Job:5:4 @ His sons are far from safety, They are crushed in the gate, And there is no deliverer.
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:5:6 @ For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble spring from the ground;
nkjv@Job:5:7 @ Yet man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward.
nkjv@Job:5:10 @ He gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields.
nkjv@Job:5:11 @ He sets on high those who are lowly, And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
nkjv@Job:5:12 @ He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.
nkjv@Job:5:13 @ He catches the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
nkjv@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night.
nkjv@Job:5:15 @ But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, And from their hand.
nkjv@Job:5:16 @ So the poor have hope, And injustice shuts her mouth.
nkjv@Job:5:17 @ "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
nkjv@Job:5:18 @ For He bruises, but He binds up; He wounds, but His hands make whole.
nkjv@Job:5:19 @ He shall deliver you in six troubles, Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.
nkjv@Job:5:20 @ In famine He shall redeem you from death, And in war from the power of the sword.
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:5:22 @ You shall laugh at destruction and famine, And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
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:5:25 @ 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:5:27 @ Behold, this we have searched out; It is true. Hear it, and know for yourself."
nkjv@Job:6:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
nkjv@Job:6:2 @ "Oh, that my grief were fully weighed, And my calamity laid with it on the scales!
nkjv@Job:6:3 @ For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea-- Therefore my words have been rash.
nkjv@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; My spirit drinks in their poison; The terrors of God are arrayed against me.
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:6:7 @ My soul refuses to touch them; They are as loathsome food to me.
nkjv@Job:6:8 @ "Oh, that I might have my request, That God would grant me the thing that I long for!
nkjv@Job:6:9 @ That it would please God to crush me, That He would loose His hand and cut me off!
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:6:12 @ 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:6:15 @ My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,
nkjv@Job:6:16 @ Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes.
nkjv@Job:6:17 @ When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
nkjv@Job:6:18 @ The paths of their way turn aside, They go nowhere and perish.
nkjv@Job:6:19 @ The caravans of Tema look, The travelers of Sheba hope for them.
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:6:24 @ "Teach me, and I will hold my tongue; Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
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:6:28 @ Now therefore, be pleased to look at me; For I would never lie to your face.
nkjv@Job:6:29 @ Yield now, let there be no injustice! Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands!
nkjv@Job:6:30 @ Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern the unsavory?
nkjv@Job:7:1 @ "Is there not a time of hard service for man on earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hired man?
nkjv@Job:7:2 @ Like a servant who earnestly desires the shade, And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,
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:7:8 @ The eye of him who sees me will see me no more; While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be.
nkjv@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud disappears and vanishes away, So he who goes down to the grave does not come up.
nkjv@Job:7:10 @ He shall never return to his house, Nor shall his place know him anymore.
nkjv@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.
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:7:15 @ So that my soul chooses strangling And death rather than my body.
nkjv@Job:7:16 @ I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, For my days are but a breath.
nkjv@Job:7:17 @ "What is man, that You should exalt him, That You should set Your heart on him,
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:8:2 @ "How long will you speak these things, And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?
nkjv@Job:8:3 @ Does God subvert judgment? Or does the Almighty pervert justice?
nkjv@Job:8:4 @ If your sons have sinned against Him, He has cast them away for their transgression.
nkjv@Job:8:5 @ If you would earnestly seek God And make your supplication to the Almighty,
nkjv@Job:8:6 @ If you were pure and upright, Surely now He would awake for you, And prosper your rightful dwelling place.
nkjv@Job:8:8 @ "For inquire, please, of the former age, And consider the things discovered by their fathers;
nkjv@Job:8:10 @ Will they not teach you and tell you, And utter words from their heart?
nkjv@Job:8:11 @ "Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the reeds flourish without water?
nkjv@Job:8:12 @ While it is yet green and not cut down, It withers before any other plant.
nkjv@Job:8:13 @ So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish,
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:8:17 @ His roots wrap around the rock heap, And look for a place in the stones.
nkjv@Job:8:18 @ If he is destroyed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, "I have not seen you.'
nkjv@Job:8:19 @ "Behold, this is the joy of His way, And out of the earth others will grow.
nkjv@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not cast away the blameless, Nor will He uphold the evildoers.
nkjv@Job:8:21 @ He will yet fill your mouth with laughing, And your lips with rejoicing.
nkjv@Job:8:22 @ Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing."
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:9:6 @ He shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;
nkjv@Job:9:7 @ He commands the sun, and it does not rise; He seals off the stars;
nkjv@Job:9:8 @ He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea;
nkjv@Job:9:9 @ He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
nkjv@Job:9:10 @ He does great things past finding out, Yes, wonders without number.
nkjv@Job:9:11 @ If He goes by me, I do not see Him; If He moves past, I do not perceive Him;
nkjv@Job:9:12 @ If He takes away, who can hinder Him? Who can say to Him, "What are You doing?'
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:9:17 @ For He crushes me with a tempest, And multiplies my wounds without cause.
nkjv@Job:9:18 @ He will not allow me to catch my breath, But fills me with bitterness.
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:9:22 @ It is all one thing; Therefore I say, "He destroys the blameless and the wicked.'
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:9:25 @ "Now my days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they see no good.
nkjv@Job:9:26 @ They pass by like swift ships, Like an eagle swooping on its prey.
nkjv@Job:9:29 @ If I am condemned, Why then do I labor in vain?
nkjv@Job:9:31 @ Yet You will plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes will abhor me.
nkjv@Job:9:32 @ "For He is not a man, as I am, That I may answer Him, And that we should go to court together.
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:10:1 @ "My soul loathes my life; I will give free course to my complaint, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
nkjv@Job:10:3 @ Does it seem good to You that You should oppress, That You should despise the work of Your hands, And smile on the counsel of the wicked?
nkjv@Job:10:5 @ Are Your days like the days of a mortal man? Are Your years like the days of a mighty man,
nkjv@Job:10:7 @ Although You know that I am not wicked, And there is no one who can deliver from Your hand?
nkjv@Job:10:10 @ Did You not pour me out like milk, And curdle me like cheese,
nkjv@Job:10:11 @ Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews?
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:10:16 @ If my head is exalted, You hunt me like a fierce lion, And again You show Yourself awesome against 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:10:21 @ Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, To the land of darkness and the shadow of death,
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:11:2 @ "Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be vindicated?
nkjv@Job:11:3 @ Should your empty talk make men hold their peace? And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?
nkjv@Job:11:6 @ 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:11:7 @ "Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?
nkjv@Job:11:8 @ They are higher than heaven-- what can you do? Deeper than Sheol-- what can you know?
nkjv@Job:11:9 @ Their measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea.
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:11:13 @ "If you would prepare your heart, And stretch out your hands toward Him;
nkjv@Job:11:15 @ Then surely you could lift up your face without spot; Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;
nkjv@Job:11:17 @ And your life would be brighter than noonday. Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.

nkjv@Job:11:20 @ But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope--loss of life!"
nkjv@Job:12:1 @ Then Job answered and said:
nkjv@Job:12:2 @ "No doubt you are the people, And wisdom will die with you!
nkjv@Job:12:3 @ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Indeed, who does not know such things as these?
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:12:5 @ A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease; It is made ready for those whose feet slip.
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:12:7 @ "But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
nkjv@Job:12:8 @ Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
nkjv@Job:12:9 @ Who among all these does not know That the hand of the LORD has done this,
nkjv@Job:12:10 @ In whose hand is the life of every living thing, And the breath of all mankind?
nkjv@Job:12:11 @ Does not the ear test words And the mouth taste its food?
nkjv@Job:12:13 @ "With Him are wisdom and strength, He has counsel and understanding.
nkjv@Job:12:14 @ If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt; If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.
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:12:17 @ He leads counselors away plundered, And makes fools of the judges.
nkjv@Job:12:18 @ He loosens the bonds of kings, And binds their waist with a belt.
nkjv@Job:12:19 @ He leads princes away plundered, And overthrows the mighty.
nkjv@Job:12:20 @ He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders.
nkjv@Job:12:21 @ He pours contempt on princes, And disarms the mighty.
nkjv@Job:12:22 @ He uncovers deep things out of darkness, And brings the shadow of death to light.
nkjv@Job:12:23 @ He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them.
nkjv@Job:12:24 @ He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, And makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.
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:13:6 @ Now hear my reasoning, And heed the pleadings of my lips.
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:13:10 @ He will surely rebuke you If you secretly show partiality.
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:13:16 @ He also shall be my salvation, For a hypocrite could not come before Him.
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:13:21 @ Withdraw Your hand far from me, And let not the dread of You make me afraid.
nkjv@Job:13:22 @ Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then You respond to me.
nkjv@Job:13:26 @ For You write bitter things against me, And make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
nkjv@Job:13:27 @ You put my feet in the stocks, And watch closely all my paths. You set a limit for the soles of my feet.
nkjv@Job:14:2 @ He comes forth like a flower and fades away; He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
nkjv@Job:14:5 @ Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
nkjv@Job:14:6 @ Look away from him that he may rest, Till like a hired man he finishes his day.
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:14:8 @ Though its root may grow old in the earth, And its stump may die in the ground,
nkjv@Job:14:9 @ Yet at the scent of water it will bud And bring forth branches like a plant.
