asv@Job:1:1 @There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and turned away from evil.

asv@Job:1:2 @And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

asv@Job:1:3 @His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of all the children of the east.

asv@Job:1:4 @And his sons went and held a feast in the house of each one upon his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

asv@Job:1:5 @And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt-offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and renounced God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

asv@Job:1:6 @Now it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan also came among them.

asv@Job:1:7 @And Jehovah said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

asv@Job:1:8 @And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil.

asv@Job:1:9 @Then Satan answered Jehovah, and said, Doth Job fear God for nought?

asv@Job:1:10 @Hast not thou made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.

asv@Job:1:11 @But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will renounce thee to thy face.

asv@Job:1:12 @And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.

asv@Job:1:13 @And it fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,

asv@Job:1:14 @that there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were plowing, and the asses feeding beside them;

asv@Job:1:15 @and the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away: yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

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

asv@Job:1:17 @While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The Chaldeans made three bands, and fell upon the camels, and have taken them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.

asv@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;

asv@Job:1:19 @and, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, 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.

asv@Job:1:20 @Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;

asv@Job:1:21 @and he said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I return thither: Jehovah gave, and Jehovah hath taken away; blessed be the name of Jehovah.

asv@Job:2:1 @Again it came to pass on the day when the sons of God came to present themselves before Jehovah, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Jehovah.

asv@Job:2:2 @And Jehovah said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered Jehovah, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

asv@Job:2:3 @And Jehovah said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job? for there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feareth God, and turneth away from evil: and he still holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to destroy him without cause.

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

asv@Job:2:5 @But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face.

asv@Job:2:6 @And Jehovah said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand; only spare his life.

asv@Job:2:7 @So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah, and smote Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.

asv@Job:2:8 @And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself therewith; and he sat among the ashes.

asv@Job:2:9 @Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity? renounce God, and die.

asv@Job:2:10 @But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

asv@Job:2:11 @Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, and they made an appointment together to come to bemoan him and to comfort him.

asv@Job:2:12 @And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

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

asv@Job:3:3 @Let the day perish wherein I was born, And the night which said, There is a man-child conceived.

asv@Job:3:4 @Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.

asv@Job:3:5 @Let darkness and the shadow of death claim it for their own; Let a cloud dwell upon it; Let all that maketh black the day terrify it.

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

asv@Job:3:7 @Lo, let that night be barren; Let no joyful voice come therein.

asv@Job:3:8 @Let them curse it that curse the day, Who are ready to rouse up leviathan.

asv@Job:3:9 @Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark: Let it look for light, but have none; Neither let it behold the eyelids of the morning:

asv@Job:3:10 @Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.

asv@Job:3:11 @Why died I not from the womb? Why did I not give up the ghost when my mother bare me?

asv@Job:3:12 @Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breast, that I should suck?

asv@Job:3:13 @For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,

asv@Job:3:14 @With kings and counsellors of the earth, Who built up waste places for themselves;

asv@Job:3:15 @Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:

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

asv@Job:3:18 @There the prisoners are at ease together; They hear not the voice of the taskmaster.

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

asv@Job:3:20 @Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, And life unto the bitter in soul;

asv@Job:3:22 @Who rejoice exceedingly, And are glad, when they can find the grave?

asv@Job:3:23 @Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?

asv@Job:3:25 @For the thing which I fear cometh upon me, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me.

asv@Job:3:26 @I am not at ease, neither am I quiet, neither have I rest; But trouble cometh.

asv@Job:4:1 @Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,

asv@Job:4:2 @If one assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?

asv@Job:4:3 @Behold, thou hast instructed many, And thou hast strengthened the weak hands.

asv@Job:4:4 @Thy words have upholden him that was falling, And thou hast made firm the feeble knees.

asv@Job:4:5 @But now it is come unto thee, and thou faintest; It toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

asv@Job:4:6 @Is not thy fear of God thy confidence, And the integrity of thy ways thy hope?

asv@Job:4:7 @Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?

asv@Job:4:8 @According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, And sow trouble, reap the same.

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

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

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

asv@Job:4:12 @Now a thing was secretly brought to me, And mine ear received a whisper thereof.

asv@Job:4:13 @In thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth on men,

asv@Job:4:15 @Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair of my flesh stood up.

asv@Job:4:16 @It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance thereof; A form was before mine eyes: There was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

asv@Job:4:18 @Behold, he putteth no trust in his servants; And his angels he chargeth with folly:

asv@Job:4:19 @How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before the moth!

asv@Job:4:20 @Betwixt morning and evening they are destroyed: They perish for ever without any regarding it.

asv@Job:4:21 @Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them? They die, and that without wisdom.

asv@Job:5:1 @Call now; is there any that will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn?

asv@Job:5:2 @For vexation killeth the foolish man, And jealousy slayeth the silly one.

asv@Job:5:3 @I have seen the foolish taking root: But suddenly I cursed his habitation.

asv@Job:5:4 @His children are far from safety, And they are crushed in the gate, Neither is there any to deliver them:

asv@Job:5:5 @Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, And taketh it even out of the thorns; And the snare gapeth for their substance.

asv@Job:5:6 @For affliction cometh not forth from the dust, Neither doth trouble spring out of the ground;

asv@Job:5:7 @But man is born unto trouble, As the sparks fly upward.

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

asv@Job:5:11 @So that he setteth up on high those that are low, And those that mourn are exalted to safety.

asv@Job:5:12 @He frustrateth the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

asv@Job:5:13 @He taketh the wise in their own craftiness; And the counsel of the cunning is carried headlong.

asv@Job:5:14 @They meet with darkness in the day-time, And grope at noonday as in the night.

asv@Job:5:15 @But he saveth from the sword of their mouth, Even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

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

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

asv@Job:5:18 @For he maketh sore, and bindeth up; He woundeth, and his hands make whole.

asv@Job:5:19 @He will deliver thee in six troubles; Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

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

asv@Job:5:21 @Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue; Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

asv@Job:5:22 @At destruction and dearth thou shalt laugh; Neither shalt thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

asv@Job:5:23 @For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field; And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

asv@Job:5:25 @Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, And thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

asv@Job:5:27 @Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

asv@Job:6:1 @Then Job answered and said,

asv@Job:6:2 @Oh that my vexation were but weighed, And all my calamity laid in the balances!

asv@Job:6:3 @For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas: Therefore have my words been rash.

asv@Job:6:4 @For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, The poison whereof my spirit drinketh up: The terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

asv@Job:6:5 @Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?

asv@Job:6:6 @Can that which hath no savor be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

asv@Job:6:7 @My soul refuseth to touch them; They are as loathsome food to me.

asv@Job:6:8 @Oh that I might have my request; And that God would grant me the thing that I long for!

asv@Job:6:9 @Even that it would please God to crush me; That he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

asv@Job:6:10 @And be it still my consolation, Yea, let me exult in pain that spareth not, That I have not denied the words of the Holy One.

asv@Job:6:12 @Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh of brass?

asv@Job:6:13 @Is it not that I have no help in me, And that wisdom is driven quite from me?

asv@Job:6:14 @To him that is ready to faint kindness should be showed from his friend; Even to him that forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.

asv@Job:6:15 @My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, As the channel of brooks that pass away;

asv@Job:6:16 @Which are black by reason of the ice, And wherein the snow hideth itself:

asv@Job:6:17 @What time they wax warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

asv@Job:6:18 @The caravans that travel by the way of them turn aside; They go up into the waste, and perish.

asv@Job:6:19 @The caravans of Tema looked, The companies of Sheba waited for them.

asv@Job:6:20 @They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came thither, and were confounded.

asv@Job:6:23 @Or, Deliver me from the adversary's hand? Or, Redeem me from the hand of the oppressors?

asv@Job:6:24 @Teach me, and I will hold my peace; And cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

asv@Job:6:26 @Do ye think to reprove words, Seeing that the speeches of one that is desperate are as wind?

asv@Job:6:27 @Yea, ye would cast lots upon the fatherless, And make merchandise of your friend.

asv@Job:6:28 @Now therefore be pleased to look upon me; For surely I shall not lie to your face.

asv@Job:6:29 @Return, I pray you, let there be no injustice; Yea, return again, my cause is righteous.

asv@Job:6:30 @Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern mischievous things?

asv@Job:7:1 @Is there not a warfare to man upon earth? And are not his days like the days of a hireling?

asv@Job:7:2 @As a servant that earnestly desireth the shadow, And as a hireling that looketh for his wages:

asv@Job:7:4 @When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? And I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

asv@Job:7:5 @My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; My skin closeth up, and breaketh out afresh.

asv@Job:7:8 @The eye of him that seeth me shall behold me no more; Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.

asv@Job:7:9 @As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away, So he that goeth down to Sheol shall come up no more.

asv@Job:7:10 @He shall return no more to his house, Neither shall his place know him any more.

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

asv@Job:7:13 @When I say, My bed shall comfort me, My couch shall ease my complaint;

asv@Job:7:14 @Then thou scarest me with dreams, And terrifiest me through visions:

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

asv@Job:7:16 @I loathe my life; I would not live alway: Let me alone; for my days are vanity.

asv@Job:7:20 @If I have sinned, what do I unto thee, O thou watcher of men? Why hast thou set me as a mark for thee, So that I am a burden to myself?

asv@Job:7:21 @And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; And thou wilt seek me diligently, but I shall not be.

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

asv@Job:8:2 @How long wilt thou speak these things? And how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a mighty wind?

asv@Job:8:3 @Doth God pervert justice? Or doth the Almighty pervert righteousness?

asv@Job:8:4 @If thy children have sinned against him, And he hath delivered them into the hand of their transgression;

asv@Job:8:5 @If thou wouldest seek diligently unto God, And make thy supplication to the Almighty;

asv@Job:8:6 @If thou wert pure and upright: Surely now he would awake for thee, And make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

asv@Job:8:8 @For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, And apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out:

asv@Job:8:10 @Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, And utter words out of their heart?

asv@Job:8:11 @Can the rush grow up without mire? Can the flag grow without water?

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

asv@Job:8:13 @So are the paths of all that forget God; And the hope of the godless man shall perish:

asv@Job:8:15 @He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: He shall hold fast thereby, but it shall not endure.

asv@Job:8:16 @He is green before the sun, And his shoots go forth over his garden.

asv@Job:8:17 @His roots are wrapped about the stone -heap, He beholdeth the place of stones.

asv@Job:8:18 @If he be destroyed from his place, Then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.

asv@Job:8:19 @Behold, this is the joy of his way; And out of the earth shall others spring.

asv@Job:8:20 @Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, Neither will he uphold the evil-doers.

asv@Job:8:21 @He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter, And thy lips with shouting.

asv@Job:8:22 @They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; And the tent of the wicked shall be no more.

asv@Job:9:1 @Then Job answered and said,

asv@Job:9:3 @If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.

asv@Job:9:4 @He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?-

asv@Job:9:5 @Him that removeth the mountains, and they know it not, When he overturneth them in his anger;

asv@Job:9:6 @That shaketh the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble;

asv@Job:9:7 @That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And sealeth up the stars;

asv@Job:9:8 @That alone stretcheth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea;

asv@Job:9:9 @That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;

asv@Job:9:11 @Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

asv@Job:9:12 @Behold, he seizeth the prey, who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?

asv@Job:9:13 @God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.

asv@Job:9:16 @If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.

asv@Job:9:17 @For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.

asv@Job:9:18 @He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness.

asv@Job:9:19 @If we speak of strength, lo, he is mighty! And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me?

asv@Job:9:22 @It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

asv@Job:9:23 @If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the trial of the innocent.

asv@Job:9:24 @The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof: If it be not he, who then is it?

asv@Job:9:25 @Now my days are swifter than a post: They flee away, they see no good,

asv@Job:9:26 @They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.

asv@Job:9:27 @If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer;

asv@Job:9:29 @I shall be condemned; Why then do I labor in vain?

asv@Job:9:31 @Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch, And mine own clothes shall abhor me.

asv@Job:9:32 @For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.

asv@Job:9:33 @There is no umpire betwixt us, That might lay his hand upon us both.

asv@Job:9:35 @Then would I speak, and not fear him; For I am not so in myself.

asv@Job:10:1 @My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

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

asv@Job:10:3 @Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, That thou shouldest despise the work of thy hands, And shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

asv@Job:10:5 @Are thy days as the days of man, Or thy years as man's days,

asv@Job:10:6 @That thou inquirest after mine iniquity, And searchest after my sin,

asv@Job:10:7 @Although thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?

asv@Job:10:8 @Thy hands have framed me and fashioned me Together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.

asv@Job:10:9 @Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast fashioned me as clay; And wilt thou bring me into dust again?

asv@Job:10:10 @Hast thou not poured me out as milk, And curdled me like cheese?

asv@Job:10:11 @Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews.

asv@Job:10:13 @Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is with thee:

asv@Job:10:14 @If I sin, then thou markest me, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

asv@Job:10:15 @If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction.

asv@Job:10:16 @And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.

asv@Job:10:18 @Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.

asv@Job:10:19 @I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

asv@Job:10:20 @Are not my days few? cease then, And let me alone, that I may take comfort a little,

asv@Job:10:21 @Before I go whence I shall not return, Even to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

asv@Job:10:22 @The land dark as midnight, The land of the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as midnight.

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

asv@Job:11:2 @Should not the multitude of words be answered? And should a man full of talk be justified?

asv@Job:11:3 @Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

asv@Job:11:5 @But oh that God would speak, And open his lips against thee,

asv@Job:11:6 @And that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacteth of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth.

asv@Job:11:7 @Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

asv@Job:11:8 @It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?

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

asv@Job:11:10 @If he pass through, and shut up, And all unto judgment, then who can hinder him?

asv@Job:11:11 @For he knoweth false men: He seeth iniquity also, even though he consider it not.

asv@Job:11:13 @If thou set thy heart aright, And stretch out thy hands toward him;

asv@Job:11:15 @Surely then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; Yea, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear:

asv@Job:11:17 @And thy life shall be clearer than the noonday; Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

asv@Job:11:18 @And thou shalt be secure, because there is hope; Yea, thou shalt search about thee, and shalt take thy rest in safety.

asv@Job:11:19 @Also thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; Yea, many shall make suit unto thee.

asv@Job:11:20 @But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, And they shall have no way to flee; And their hope shall be the giving up of the ghost.

asv@Job:12:1 @Then Job answered and said,

asv@Job:12:2 @No doubt but ye are the people, And wisdom shall die with you.

asv@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?

asv@Job:12:4 @I am as one that is a laughing-stock to his neighbor, I who called upon God, and he answered: The just, the perfect man is a laughing-stock.

asv@Job:12:5 @In the thought of him that is at ease there is contempt for misfortune; It is ready for them whose foot slippeth.

asv@Job:12:6 @The tents of robbers prosper, And they that provoke God are secure; Into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.

asv@Job:12:7 @But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; And the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee:

asv@Job:12:8 @Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee; And the fishes of the sea shall declare unto thee.

asv@Job:12:9 @Who knoweth not in all these, That the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this,

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

asv@Job:12:11 @Doth not the ear try words, Even as the palate tasteth its food?

asv@Job:12:13 @With God is wisdom and might; He hath counsel and understanding.

asv@Job:12:14 @Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again; He shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

asv@Job:12:15 @Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up; Again, he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

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

asv@Job:12:17 @He leadeth counsellors away stripped, And judges maketh he fools.

asv@Job:12:18 @He looseth the bond of kings, And he bindeth their loins with a girdle.

asv@Job:12:19 @He leadeth priests away stripped, And overthroweth the mighty.

asv@Job:12:20 @He removeth the speech of the trusty, And taketh away the understanding of the elders.

asv@Job:12:21 @He poureth contempt upon princes, And looseth the belt of the strong.

asv@Job:12:22 @He uncovereth deep things out of darkness, And bringeth out to light the shadow of death.

asv@Job:12:23 @He increaseth the nations, and he destroyeth them: He enlargeth the nations, and he leadeth them captive.

asv@Job:12:24 @He taketh away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, And causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.

asv@Job:12:25 @They grope in the dark without light; And he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.

asv@Job:13:1 @Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, Mine ear hath heard and understood it.

asv@Job:13:2 @What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.

asv@Job:13:3 @Surely I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.

asv@Job:13:5 @Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom.

asv@Job:13:6 @Hear now my reasoning, And hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

asv@Job:13:9 @Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him?

asv@Job:13:10 @He will surely reprove you If ye do secretly show partiality.

asv@Job:13:12 @Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defences are defences of clay.

asv@Job:13:14 @Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hand?

asv@Job:13:15 @Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope: Nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.

asv@Job:13:17 @Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your ears.

asv@Job:13:19 @Who is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and give up the ghost.

asv@Job:13:20 @Only do not two things unto me; Then will I not hide myself from thy face:

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

asv@Job:13:24 @Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And holdest me for thine enemy?

asv@Job:13:25 @Wilt thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?

asv@Job:13:26 @For thou writest bitter things against me, And makest me to inherit the iniquities of my youth:

asv@Job:13:27 @Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, And markest all my paths; Thou settest a bound to the soles of my feet:

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

asv@Job:14:3 @And dost thou open thine eyes upon such a one, And bringest me into judgment with thee?

asv@Job:14:5 @Seeing his days are determined, The number of his months is with thee, And thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

asv@Job:14:6 @Look away from him, that he may rest, Till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.

asv@Job:14:7 @For there is hope of a tree, If it be cut down, that it will sprout again, And that the tender branch thereof will not cease.

asv@Job:14:8 @Though the root thereof wax old in the earth, And the stock thereof die in the ground;

asv@Job:14:9 @Yet through the scent of water it will bud, And put forth boughs like a plant.

asv@Job:14:10 @But man dieth, and is laid low: Yea, man giveth up the ghost, and where is he?

asv@Job:14:11 @As the waters fail from the sea, And the river wasteth and drieth up;

asv@Job:14:12 @So man lieth down and riseth not: Till the heavens be no more, they shall not awake, Nor be roused out of their sleep.

asv@Job:14:13 @Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!

asv@Job:14:14 @If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my warfare would I wait, Till my release should come.

asv@Job:14:15 @Thou wouldest call, and I would answer thee: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work of thy hands.

asv@Job:14:18 @But the mountain falling cometh to nought; And the rock is removed out of its place;

asv@Job:14:19 @The waters wear the stones; The overflowings thereof wash away the dust of the earth: So thou destroyest the hope of man.

asv@Job:14:20 @Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth; Thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.

asv@Job:14:21 @His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.

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

asv@Job:15:2 @Should a wise man make answer with vain knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

asv@Job:15:3 @Should he reason with unprofitable talk, Or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?

asv@Job:15:5 @For thine iniquity teacheth thy mouth, And thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.

asv@Job:15:6 @Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I; Yea, thine own lips testify against thee.

asv@Job:15:7 @Art thou the first man that was born? Or wast thou brought forth before the hills?

asv@Job:15:8 @Hast thou heard the secret counsel of God? And dost thou limit wisdom to thyself?

asv@Job:15:10 @With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, Much elder than thy father.

asv@Job:15:11 @Are the consolations of God too small for thee, Even the word that is gentle toward thee?

asv@Job:15:12 @Why doth thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes flash,

asv@Job:15:14 @What is man, that he should be clean? And he that is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

asv@Job:15:15 @Behold, he putteth no trust in his holy ones; Yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight:

asv@Job:15:17 @I will show thee, hear thou me; And that which I have seen I will declare:

asv@Job:15:18 @(Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hid it;

asv@Job:15:19 @Unto whom alone the land was given, And no stranger passed among them):

asv@Job:15:20 @The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, Even the number of years that are laid up for the oppressor.

asv@Job:15:21 @A sound of terrors is in his ears; In prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.

asv@Job:15:22 @He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, And he is waited for of the sword.

asv@Job:15:23 @He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.

asv@Job:15:24 @Distress and anguish make him afraid; They prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.

asv@Job:15:25 @Because he hath stretched out his hand against God, And behaveth himself proudly against the Almighty;

asv@Job:15:26 @He runneth upon him with a stiff neck, With the thick bosses of his bucklers;

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

asv@Job:15:28 @And he hath dwelt in desolate cities, In houses which no man inhabited, Which were ready to become heaps;

asv@Job:15:29 @He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, Neither shall their possessions be extended on the earth.

asv@Job:15:30 @He shall not depart out of darkness; The flame shall dry up his branches, And by the breath of God's mouth shall he go away.

asv@Job:15:32 @It shall be accomplished before his time, And his branch shall not be green.

asv@Job:15:33 @He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, And shall cast off his flower as the olive-tree.

asv@Job:15:34 @For the company of the godless shall be barren, And fire shall consume the tents of bribery.

asv@Job:15:35 @They conceive mischief, and bring forth iniquity, And their heart prepareth deceit.

asv@Job:16:1 @Then Job answered and said,

asv@Job:16:2 @I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are ye all.

asv@Job:16:3 @Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?

asv@Job:16:4 @I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you.

asv@Job:16:5 @But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.

asv@Job:16:7 @But now he hath made me weary: Thou hast made desolate all my company.

asv@Job:16:9 @He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

asv@Job:16:10 @They have gaped upon me with their mouth; They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully: They gather themselves together against me.

asv@Job:16:11 @God delivereth me to the ungodly, And casteth me into the hands of the wicked.

asv@Job:16:12 @I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: He hath also set me up for his mark.

asv@Job:16:13 @His archers compass me round about; He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.

asv@Job:16:14 @He breaketh me with breach upon breach; He runneth upon me like a giant.

asv@Job:16:15 @I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, And have laid my horn in the dust.

asv@Job:16:16 @My face is red with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;

asv@Job:16:17 @Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.

asv@Job:16:19 @Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And he that voucheth for me is on high.

asv@Job:16:21 @That he would maintain the right of a man with God, And of a son of man with his neighbor!

asv@Job:16:22 @For when a few years are come, I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

asv@Job:17:1 @My spirit is consumed, my days are extinct, The grave is ready for me.

asv@Job:17:2 @Surely there are mockers with me, And mine eye dwelleth upon their provocation.

asv@Job:17:3 @Give now a pledge, be surety for me with thyself; Who is there that will strike hands with me?

asv@Job:17:4 @For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt them.

asv@Job:17:5 @He that denounceth his friends for a prey, Even the eyes of his children shall fail.

asv@Job:17:6 @But he hath made me a byword of the people; And they spit in my face.

asv@Job:17:8 @Upright men shall be astonished at this, And the innocent shall stir up himself against the godless.

asv@Job:17:9 @Yet shall the righteous hold on his way, And he that hath clean hands shall wax stronger and stronger.

asv@Job:17:11 @My days are past, my purposes are broken off, Even the thoughts of my heart.

asv@Job:17:12 @They change the night into day: The light, say they, is near unto the darkness.

asv@Job:17:13 @If I look for Sheol as my house; If I have spread my couch in the darkness;

asv@Job:17:14 @If I have said to corruption, Thou art my father; To the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister;

asv@Job:17:15 @Where then is my hope? And as for my hope, who shall see it?

asv@Job:17:16 @It shall go down to the bars of Sheol, When once there is rest in the dust.

asv@Job:18:1 @Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

asv@Job:18:3 @Wherefore are we counted as beasts, And are become unclean in your sight?

asv@Job:18:4 @Thou that tearest thyself in thine anger, Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?

asv@Job:18:5 @Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, And the spark of his fire shall not shine.

asv@Job:18:6 @The light shall be dark in his tent, And his lamp above him shall be put out.

asv@Job:18:7 @The steps of his strength shall be straitened, And his own counsel shall cast him down.

asv@Job:18:8 @For he is cast into a net by his own feet, And he walketh upon the toils.

asv@Job:18:9 @A gin shall take him by the heel, And a snare shall lay hold on him.

asv@Job:18:10 @A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.

asv@Job:18:11 @Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, And shall chase him at his heels.

asv@Job:18:13 @The members of his body shall be devoured, Yea, the first-born of death shall devour his members.

asv@Job:18:14 @He shall be rooted out of his tent where he trusteth; And he shall be brought to the king of terrors.

asv@Job:18:15 @There shall dwell in his tent that which is none of his: Brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

asv@Job:18:17 @His remembrance shall perish from the earth, And he shall have no name in the street.

asv@Job:18:18 @He shall be driven from light into darkness, And chased out of the world.

asv@Job:18:19 @He shall have neither son nor son's son among his people, Nor any remaining where he sojourned.

asv@Job:18:20 @They that come after shall be astonished at his day, As they that went before were affrighted.

asv@Job:18:21 @Surely such are the dwellings of the unrighteous, And this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

asv@Job:19:1 @Then Job answered and said,

asv@Job:19:3 @These ten times have ye reproached me: Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me.

asv@Job:19:7 @Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no justice.

asv@Job:19:8 @He hath walled up my way that I cannot pass, And hath set darkness in my paths.

asv@Job:19:9 @He hath stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.

asv@Job:19:10 @He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone; And my hope hath he plucked up like a tree.

asv@Job:19:11 @He hath also kindled his wrath against me, And he counteth me unto him as one of his adversaries.

asv@Job:19:12 @His troops come on together, And cast up their way against me, And encamp round about my tent.

asv@Job:19:13 @He hath put my brethren far from me, And mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me.

asv@Job:19:15 @They that dwell in my house, and my maids, count me for a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.

asv@Job:19:16 @I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, Though I entreat him with my mouth.

asv@Job:19:17 @My breath is strange to my wife, And my supplication to the children of mine own mother.

asv@Job:19:18 @Even young children despise me; If I arise, they speak against me.

asv@Job:19:19 @All my familiar friends abhor me, And they whom I loved are turned against me.

asv@Job:19:20 @My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, And I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.

asv@Job:19:21 @Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; For the hand of God hath touched me.

asv@Job:19:23 @Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!

asv@Job:19:24 @That with an iron pen and lead They were graven in the rock for ever!

asv@Job:19:25 @But as for me I know that my Redeemer liveth, And at last he will stand up upon the earth:

asv@Job:19:26 @And after my skin, even this body, is destroyed, Then without my flesh shall I see God;

asv@Job:19:27 @Whom I, even I, shall see, on my side, And mine eyes shall behold, and not as a stranger. My heart is consumed within me.

asv@Job:19:28 @If ye say, How we will persecute him! And that the root of the matter is found in me;

asv@Job:19:29 @Be ye afraid of the sword: For wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, That ye may know there is a judgment.

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

asv@Job:20:2 @Therefore do my thoughts give answer to me, Even by reason of my haste that is in me.

asv@Job:20:3 @I have heard the reproof which putteth me to shame; And the spirit of my understanding answereth me.

asv@Job:20:5 @That the triumphing of the wicked is short, And the joy of the godless but for a moment?

asv@Job:20:6 @Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;

asv@Job:20:7 @Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: They that have seen him shall say, Where is he?

asv@Job:20:8 @He shall fly away as a dream, and shall not be found: Yea, he shall be chased away as a vision of the night.

asv@Job:20:9 @The eye which saw him shall see him no more; Neither shall his place any more behold him.

asv@Job:20:10 @His children shall seek the favor of the poor, And his hands shall give back his wealth.

asv@Job:20:11 @His bones are full of his youth, But it shall lie down with him in the dust.

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

asv@Job:20:13 @Though he spare it, and will not let it go, But keep it still within his mouth;

asv@Job:20:14 @Yet his food in his bowels is turned, It is the gall of asps within him.

asv@Job:20:15 @He hath swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again; God will cast them out of his belly.

asv@Job:20:16 @He shall suck the poison of asps: The viper's tongue shall slay him.

asv@Job:20:17 @He shall not look upon the rivers, The flowing streams of honey and butter.

asv@Job:20:18 @That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down; According to the substance that he hath gotten, he shall not rejoice.

asv@Job:20:19 @For he hath oppressed and forsaken the poor; He hath violently taken away a house, and he shall not build it up.

asv@Job:20:20 @Because he knew no quietness within him, He shall not save aught of that wherein he delighteth.

asv@Job:20:21 @There was nothing left that he devoured not; Therefore his prosperity shall not endure.

asv@Job:20:22 @In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: The hand of every one that is in misery shall come upon him.

asv@Job:20:23 @When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath upon him, And will rain it upon him while he is eating.

asv@Job:20:24 @He shall flee from the iron weapon, And the bow of brass shall strike him through.

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

asv@Job:20:27 @The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, And the earth shall rise up against him.

asv@Job:20:28 @The increase of his house shall depart; His goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

asv@Job:20:29 @This is the portion of a wicked man from God, And the heritage appointed unto him by God.

asv@Job:21:1 @Then Job answered and said,

asv@Job:21:2 @Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your consolations.

asv@Job:21:5 @Mark me, and be astonished, And lay your hand upon your mouth.

asv@Job:21:6 @Even when I remember I am troubled, And horror taketh hold on my flesh.

asv@Job:21:7 @Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?

asv@Job:21:8 @Their seed is established with them in their sight, And their offspring before their eyes.

asv@Job:21:9 @Their houses are safe from fear, Neither is the rod of God upon them.

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

asv@Job:21:11 @They send forth their little ones like a flock, And their children dance.

asv@Job:21:12 @They sing to the timbrel and harp, And rejoice at the sound of the pipe.

asv@Job:21:13 @They spend their days in prosperity, And in a moment they go down to Sheol.

asv@Job:21:14 @And they say unto God, Depart from us; For we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.

asv@Job:21:15 @What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? And what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?

asv@Job:21:16 @Lo, their prosperity is not in their hand: The counsel of the wicked is far from me.

asv@Job:21:17 @How oft is it that the lamp of the wicked is put out? That their calamity cometh upon them? That God distributeth sorrows in his anger?

asv@Job:21:18 @That they are as stubble before the wind, And as chaff that the storm carrieth away?

asv@Job:21:19 @Ye say, God layeth up his iniquity for his children. Let him recompense it unto himself, that he may know it:

asv@Job:21:20 @Let his own eyes see his destruction, And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

asv@Job:21:21 @For what careth he for his house after him, When the number of his months is cut off?

asv@Job:21:22 @Shall any teach God knowledge, Seeing he judgeth those that are high?

asv@Job:21:24 @His pails are full of milk, And the marrow of his bones is moistened.

asv@Job:21:25 @And another dieth in bitterness of soul, And never tasteth of good.

asv@Job:21:26 @They lie down alike in the dust, And the worm covereth them.

asv@Job:21:27 @Behold, I know your thoughts, And the devices wherewith ye would wrong me.

asv@Job:21:28 @For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? And where is the tent wherein the wicked dwelt?

asv@Job:21:29 @Have ye not asked wayfaring men? And do ye not know their evidences,

asv@Job:21:30 @That the evil man is reserved to the day of calamity? That they are led forth to the day of wrath?

asv@Job:21:31 @Who shall declare his way to his face? And who shall repay him what he hath done?

asv@Job:21:32 @Yet shall he be borne to the grave, And men shall keep watch over the tomb.

asv@Job:21:33 @The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, And all men shall draw after him, As there were innumerable before him.

asv@Job:21:34 @How then comfort ye me in vain, Seeing in your answers there remaineth only falsehood?

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

asv@Job:22:2 @Can a man be profitable unto God? Surely he that is wise is profitable unto himself.

asv@Job:22:3 @Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? Or is it gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

asv@Job:22:4 @Is it for thy fear of him that he reproveth thee, That he entereth with thee into judgment?

asv@Job:22:5 @Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.

asv@Job:22:6 @For thou hast taken pledges of thy brother for nought, And stripped the naked of their clothing.

asv@Job:22:7 @Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, And thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

asv@Job:22:8 @But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.

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

asv@Job:22:10 @Therefore snares are round about thee, And sudden fear troubleth thee,

asv@Job:22:11 @Or darkness, so that thou canst not see, And abundance of waters cover thee.

asv@Job:22:12 @Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

asv@Job:22:13 @And thou sayest, What doth God know? Can he judge through the thick darkness?

asv@Job:22:14 @Thick clouds are a covering to him, so that he seeth not; And he walketh on the vault of heaven.

asv@Job:22:15 @Wilt thou keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden?

asv@Job:22:16 @Who were snatched away before their time, Whose foundation was poured out as a stream,

asv@Job:22:17 @Who said unto God, Depart from us; And, What can the Almighty do for us?

asv@Job:22:18 @Yet he filled their houses with good things: But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

asv@Job:22:19 @The righteous see it, and are glad; And the innocent laugh them to scorn,

asv@Job:22:20 @Saying, Surely they that did rise up against us are cut off, And the remnant of them the fire hath consumed.

asv@Job:22:21 @Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: Thereby good shall come unto thee.

asv@Job:22:22 @Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, And lay up his words in thy heart.

asv@Job:22:23 @If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, If thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.

asv@Job:22:24 @And lay thou thy treasure in the dust, And the gold of Ophir among the stones of the brooks;

asv@Job:22:25 @And the Almighty will be thy treasure, And precious silver unto thee.

asv@Job:22:26 @For then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, And shalt lift up thy face unto God.

asv@Job:22:27 @Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he will hear thee; And thou shalt pay thy vows.

asv@Job:22:28 @Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee; And light shall shine upon thy ways.

asv@Job:22:29 @When they cast thee down, thou shalt say, There is lifting up; And the humble person he will save.

asv@Job:22:30 @He will deliver even him that is not innocent: Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.

asv@Job:23:1 @Then Job answered and said,

asv@Job:23:2 @Even to-day is my complaint rebellious: My stroke is heavier than my groaning.

asv@Job:23:3 @Oh that I knew where I might find him! That I might come even to his seat!

asv@Job:23:5 @I would know the words which he would answer me, And understand what he would say unto me.

asv@Job:23:6 @Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.

asv@Job:23:7 @There the upright might reason with him; So should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

asv@Job:23:8 @Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; And backward, but I cannot perceive him;

asv@Job:23:9 @On the left hand, when he doth work, but I cannot behold him; He hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.

asv@Job:23:10 @But he knoweth the way that I take; When he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

asv@Job:23:11 @My foot hath held fast to his steps; His way have I kept, and turned not aside.

asv@Job:23:12 @I have not gone back from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured up the words of his mouth more than my necessary food.

asv@Job:23:13 @But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, even that he doeth.

asv@Job:23:14 @For he performeth that which is appointed for me: And many such things are with him.

asv@Job:23:15 @Therefore am I terrified at his presence; When I consider, I am afraid of him.

asv@Job:23:16 @For God hath made my heart faint, And the Almighty hath terrified me;

asv@Job:23:17 @Because I was not cut off before the darkness, Neither did he cover the thick darkness from my face.

asv@Job:24:1 @Why are times not laid up by the Almighty? And why do not they that know him see his days?

asv@Job:24:2 @There are that remove the landmarks; They violently take away flocks, and feed them.

asv@Job:24:3 @They drive away the ass of the fatherless; They take the widow's ox for a pledge.

asv@Job:24:4 @They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves.

asv@Job:24:5 @Behold, as wild asses in the desert They go forth to their work, seeking diligently for food; The wilderness yieldeth them bread for their children.

asv@Job:24:6 @They cut their provender in the field; And they glean the vintage of the wicked.

asv@Job:24:7 @They lie all night naked without clothing, And have no covering in the cold.

asv@Job:24:8 @They are wet with the showers of the mountains, And embrace the rock for want of a shelter.

asv@Job:24:9 @There are that pluck the fatherless from the breast, And take a pledge of the poor;

asv@Job:24:10 @So that they go about naked without clothing, And being hungry they carry the sheaves.

asv@Job:24:11 @They make oil within the walls of these men; They tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.

asv@Job:24:12 @From out of the populous city men groan, And the soul of the wounded crieth out: Yet God regardeth not the folly.

asv@Job:24:13 @These are of them that rebel against the light; They know not the ways thereof, Nor abide in the paths thereof.

asv@Job:24:14 @The murderer riseth with the light; He killeth the poor and needy; And in the night he is as a thief.

asv@Job:24:15 @The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, Saying, No eye shall see me: And he disguiseth his face.

asv@Job:24:16 @In the dark they dig through houses: They shut themselves up in the day-time; They know not the light.

asv@Job:24:17 @For the morning is to all of them as thick darkness; For they know the terrors of the thick darkness.

asv@Job:24:18 @Swiftly they pass away upon the face of the waters; Their portion is cursed in the earth: They turn not into the way of the vineyards.

asv@Job:24:19 @Drought and heat consume the snow waters: So doth Sheol those that have sinned.

asv@Job:24:20 @The womb shall forget him; The worm shall feed sweetly on him; He shall be no more remembered; And unrighteousness shall be broken as a tree.

asv@Job:24:21 @He devoureth the barren that beareth not, And doeth not good to the widow.

asv@Job:24:22 @Yet God preserveth the mighty by his power: He riseth up that hath no assurance of life.

asv@Job:24:23 @God giveth them to be in security, and they rest thereon; And his eyes are upon their ways.

asv@Job:24:24 @They are exalted; yet a little while, and they are gone; Yea, they are brought low, they are taken out of the way as all others, And are cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.

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

asv@Job:25:2 @Dominion and fear are with him; He maketh peace in his high places.

asv@Job:25:3 @Is there any number of his armies? And upon whom doth not his light arise?

asv@Job:25:4 @How then can man be just with God? Or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

asv@Job:25:5 @Behold, even the moon hath no brightness, And the stars are not pure in his sight:

asv@Job:25:6 @How much less man, that is a worm! And the son of man, that is a worm!

asv@Job:26:1 @Then Job answered and said,

asv@Job:26:2 @How hast thou helped him that is without power! How hast thou saved the arm that hath no strength!

asv@Job:26:4 @To whom hast thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?

asv@Job:26:5 @They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof.

asv@Job:26:6 @Sheol is naked before God, And Abaddon hath no covering.

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

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

asv@Job:26:9 @He incloseth the face of his throne, And spreadeth his cloud upon it.

asv@Job:26:10 @He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters, Unto the confines of light and darkness.

asv@Job:26:11 @The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke.

asv@Job:26:12 @He stirreth up the sea with his power, And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab.

asv@Job:26:13 @By his Spirit the heavens are garnished; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent.

asv@Job:26:14 @Lo, these are but the outskirts of his ways: And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?

asv@Job:27:2 @As God liveth, who hath taken away my right, And the Almighty, who hath vexed my soul:

asv@Job:27:3 @(For my life is yet whole in me, And the spirit of God is in my nostrils);

asv@Job:27:4 @Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, Neither shall my tongue utter deceit.

asv@Job:27:6 @My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live.

asv@Job:27:7 @Let mine enemy be as the wicked, And let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous.

asv@Job:27:8 @For what is the hope of the godless, though he get him gain, When God taketh away his soul?

asv@Job:27:9 @Will God hear his cry, When trouble cometh upon him?

asv@Job:27:10 @Will he delight himself in the Almighty, And call upon God at all times?

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

asv@Job:27:12 @Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; Why then are ye become altogether vain?

asv@Job:27:13 @This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:

asv@Job:27:14 @If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

asv@Job:27:16 @Though he heap up silver as the dust, And prepare raiment as the clay;

asv@Job:27:17 @He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, And the innocent shall divide the silver.

asv@Job:27:18 @He buildeth his house as the moth, And as a booth which the keeper maketh.

asv@Job:27:19 @He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered to his fathers; He openeth his eyes, and he is not.

asv@Job:27:20 @Terrors overtake him like waters; A tempest stealeth him away in the night.

asv@Job:27:21 @The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth; And it sweepeth him out of his place.

asv@Job:27:22 @For God shall hurl at him, and not spare: He would fain flee out of his hand.

asv@Job:27:23 @Men shall clap their hands at him, And shall hiss him out of his place.

asv@Job:28:1 @Surely there is a mine for silver, And a place for gold which they refine.

asv@Job:28:2 @Iron is taken out of the earth, And copper is molten out of the stone.

asv@Job:28:3 @Man setteth an end to darkness, And searcheth out, to the furthest bound, The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness.

asv@Job:28:4 @He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; They are forgotten of the foot; They hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.

asv@Job:28:5 @As for the earth, out of it cometh bread; And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire.

asv@Job:28:6 @The stones thereof are the place of sapphires, And it hath dust of gold.

asv@Job:28:7 @That path no bird of prey knoweth, Neither hath the falcon's eye seen it:

asv@Job:28:8 @The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby.

asv@Job:28:9 @He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock; He overturneth the mountains by the roots.

asv@Job:28:10 @He cutteth out channels among the rocks; And his eye seeth every precious thing.

asv@Job:28:11 @He bindeth the streams that they trickle not; And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.

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

asv@Job:28:13 @Man knoweth not the price thereof; Neither is it found in the land of the living.

asv@Job:28:14 @The deep saith, It is not in me; And the sea saith, It is not with me.

asv@Job:28:15 @It cannot be gotten for gold, Neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

asv@Job:28:16 @It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, With the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

asv@Job:28:17 @Gold and glass cannot equal it, Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold.

asv@Job:28:18 @No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.

asv@Job:28:19 @The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, Neither shall it be valued with pure gold.

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

asv@Job:28:21 @Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the birds of the heavens.

asv@Job:28:22 @Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.

asv@Job:28:23 @God understandeth the way thereof, And he knoweth the place thereof.

asv@Job:28:24 @For he looketh to the ends of the earth, And seeth under the whole heaven;

asv@Job:28:25 @To make a weight for the wind: Yea, he meteth out the waters by measure.

asv@Job:28:26 @When he made a decree for the rain, And a way for the lightning of the thunder;

asv@Job:28:27 @Then did he see it, and declare it; He established it, yea, and searched it out.

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

asv@Job:29:2 @Oh that I were as in the months of old, As in the days when God watched over me;

asv@Job:29:3 @When his lamp shined upon my head, And by his light I walked through darkness;

asv@Job:29:4 @As I was in the ripeness of my days, When the friendship of God was upon my tent;

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

asv@Job:29:6 @When my steps were washed with butter, And the rock poured me out streams of oil!

asv@Job:29:7 @When I went forth to the gate unto the city, When I prepared my seat in the street,

asv@Job:29:8 @The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the aged rose up and stood;

asv@Job:29:9 @The princes refrained from talking, And laid their hand on their mouth;

asv@Job:29:10 @The voice of the nobles was hushed, And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.

asv@Job:29:11 @For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; And when the eye saw me, it gave witness unto me:

asv@Job:29:12 @Because I delivered the poor that cried, The fatherless also, that had none to help him.

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

asv@Job:29:14 @I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: My justice was as a robe and a diadem.

asv@Job:29:15 @I was eyes to the blind, And feet was I to the lame.

asv@Job:29:16 @I was a father to the needy: And the cause of him that I knew not I searched out.

asv@Job:29:17 @And I brake the jaws of the unrighteous, And plucked the prey out of his teeth.

asv@Job:29:18 @Then I said, I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand:

asv@Job:29:19 @My root is spread out to the waters, And the dew lieth all night upon my branch;

asv@Job:29:22 @After my words they spake not again; And my speech distilled upon them.

asv@Job:29:23 @And they waited for me as for the rain; And they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

asv@Job:29:24 @I smiled on them, when they had no confidence; And the light of my countenance they cast not down.

asv@Job:29:25 @I chose out their way, and sat as chief, And dwelt as a king in the army, As one that comforteth the mourners.

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

asv@Job:30:2 @Yea, the strength of their hands, whereto should it profit me? Men in whom ripe age is perished.

asv@Job:30:3 @They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.

asv@Job:30:4 @They pluck salt-wort by the bushes; And the roots of the broom are their food.

asv@Job:30:5 @They are driven forth from the midst of men; They cry after them as after a thief;

asv@Job:30:6 @So that they dwell in frightful valleys, In holes of the earth and of the rocks.

asv@Job:30:7 @Among the bushes they bray; Under the nettles they are gathered together.

asv@Job:30:8 @They are children of fools, yea, children of base men; They were scourged out of the land.

asv@Job:30:9 @And now I am become their song, Yea, I am a byword unto them.

asv@Job:30:10 @They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, And spare not to spit in my face.

asv@Job:30:11 @For he hath loosed his cord, and afflicted me; And they have cast off the bridle before me.

asv@Job:30:12 @Upon my right hand rise the rabble; They thrust aside my feet, And they cast up against me their ways of destruction.

asv@Job:30:13 @They mar my path, They set forward my calamity, Even men that have no helper.

asv@Job:30:14 @As through a wide breach they come: In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves upon me.

asv@Job:30:15 @Terrors are turned upon me; They chase mine honor as the wind; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud.

asv@Job:30:17 @In the night season my bones are pierced in me, And the pains that gnaw me take no rest.

asv@Job:30:18 @By God's great force is my garment disfigured; It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.

asv@Job:30:19 @He hath cast me into the mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.

asv@Job:30:20 @I cry unto thee, and thou dost not answer me: I stand up, and thou gazest at me.

asv@Job:30:21 @Thou art turned to be cruel to me; With the might of thy hand thou persecutest me.

asv@Job:30:22 @Thou liftest me up to the wind, thou causest me to ride upon it; And thou dissolvest me in the storm.

asv@Job:30:23 @For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, And to the house appointed for all living.

asv@Job:30:24 @Howbeit doth not one stretch out the hand in his fall? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help?

asv@Job:30:25 @Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? Was not my soul grieved for the needy?

asv@Job:30:26 @When I looked for good, then evil came; And when I waited for light, there came darkness.

asv@Job:30:27 @My heart is troubled, and resteth not; Days of affliction are come upon me.

asv@Job:30:28 @I go mourning without the sun: I stand up in the assembly, and cry for help.

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

asv@Job:30:30 @My skin is black, and falleth from me, And my bones are burned with heat.

asv@Job:30:31 @Therefore is my harp turned to mourning, And my pipe into the voice of them that weep.

asv@Job:31:1 @I made a covenant with mine eyes; How then should I look upon a virgin?

asv@Job:31:2 @For what is the portion from God above, And the heritage from the Almighty on high?

asv@Job:31:3 @Is it not calamity to the unrighteous, And disaster to the workers of iniquity?

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

asv@Job:31:6 @(Let me be weighed in an even balance, That God may know mine integrity);

asv@Job:31:7 @If my step hath turned out of the way, And my heart walked after mine eyes, And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands:

asv@Job:31:8 @Then let me sow, and let another eat; Yea, let the produce of my field be rooted out.

asv@Job:31:9 @If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman, And I have laid wait at my neighbor's door;

asv@Job:31:10 @Then let my wife grind unto another, And let others bow down upon her.

asv@Job:31:11 @For that were a heinous crime; Yea, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges:

asv@Job:31:13 @If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant, When they contended with me;

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

asv@Job:31:15 @Did not he that made me in the womb make him? And did not one fashion us in the womb?

asv@Job:31:16 @If I have withheld the poor from their desire, Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

asv@Job:31:17 @Or have eaten my morsel alone, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;

asv@Job:31:18 @(Nay, from my youth he grew up with me as with a father, And her have I guided from my mother's womb);

asv@Job:31:19 @If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;

asv@Job:31:20 @If his loins have not blessed me, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

asv@Job:31:21 @If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, Because I saw my help in the gate:

asv@Job:31:22 @Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade, And mine arm be broken from the bone.

asv@Job:31:24 @If I have made gold my hope, And have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;

asv@Job:31:26 @If I have beheld the sun when it shined, Or the moon walking in brightness,

asv@Job:31:27 @And my heart hath been secretly enticed, And my mouth hath kissed my hand:

asv@Job:31:28 @This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges; For I should have denied the God that is above.

asv@Job:31:29 @If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, Or lifted up myself when evil found him;

asv@Job:31:31 @If the men of my tent have not said, Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat?

asv@Job:31:32 @(The sojourner hath not lodged in the street; But I have opened my doors to the traveller);

asv@Job:31:34 @Because I feared the great multitude, And the contempt of families terrified me, So that I kept silence, and went not out of the door-

asv@Job:31:35 @Oh that I had one to hear me! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me); And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!

asv@Job:31:37 @I would declare unto him the number of my steps; As a prince would I go near unto him.

asv@Job:31:38 @If my land crieth out against me, And the furrows thereof weep together;

asv@Job:31:39 @If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:

asv@Job:31:40 @Let thistles grow instead of wheat, And cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.

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

asv@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 justified himself rather than God.

asv@Job:32:3 @Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

asv@Job:32:4 @Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.

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

asv@Job:32:6 @And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; Wherefore I held back, and durst not show you mine opinion.

asv@Job:32:8 @But there is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

asv@Job:32:9 @It is not the great that are wise, Nor the aged that understand justice.

asv@Job:32:10 @Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.

asv@Job:32:11 @Behold, I waited for your words, I listened for your reasonings, Whilst ye searched out what to say.

asv@Job:32:12 @Yea, I attended unto you, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job, Or that answered his words, among you.

asv@Job:32:14 @For he hath not directed his words against me; Neither will I answer him with your speeches.

asv@Job:32:15 @They are amazed, they answer no more: They have not a word to say.

asv@Job:32:16 @And shall I wait, because they speak not, Because they stand still, and answer no more?

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

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

asv@Job:32:21 @Let me not, I pray you, respect any man's person; Neither will I give flattering titles unto any man.

asv@Job:33:1 @Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.

asv@Job:33:3 @My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.

asv@Job:33:4 @The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.

asv@Job:33:6 @Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.

asv@Job:33:7 @Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.

asv@Job:33:8 @Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,

asv@Job:33:9 @I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:

asv@Job:33:10 @Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy:

asv@Job:33:11 @He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.

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

asv@Job:33:13 @Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?

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

asv@Job:33:16 @Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,

asv@Job:33:17 @That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man;

asv@Job:33:18 @He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.

asv@Job:33:19 @He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;

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

asv@Job:33:23 @If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him;

asv@Job:33:24 @Then God is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.

asv@Job:33:25 @His flesh shall be fresher than a child's; He returneth to the days of his youth.

asv@Job:33:26 @He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.

asv@Job:33:27 @He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not:

asv@Job:33:28 @He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light.

asv@Job:33:29 @Lo, all these things doth God work, Twice, yea thrice, with a man,

asv@Job:33:30 @To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

asv@Job:33:31 @Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speak.

asv@Job:33:32 @If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee.

asv@Job:33:33 @If not, hearken thou unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.

asv@Job:34:2 @Hear my words, ye wise men; And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.

asv@Job:34:3 @For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth food.

asv@Job:34:8 @Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, And walketh with wicked men?

asv@Job:34:9 @For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.

asv@Job:34:10 @Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: Far be it from God, that he should do wickedness, And from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.

asv@Job:34:11 @For the work of a man will he render unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.

asv@Job:34:12 @Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice.

asv@Job:34:13 @Who gave him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?

asv@Job:34:14 @If he set his heart upon himself, If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;

asv@Job:34:15 @All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust.

asv@Job:34:16 @If now thou hast understanding, hear this: Hearken to the voice of my words.

asv@Job:34:19 @That respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands.

asv@Job:34:20 @In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand.

asv@Job:34:21 @For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, And he seeth all his goings.

asv@Job:34:22 @There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

asv@Job:34:23 @For he needeth not further to consider a man, That he should go before God in judgment.

asv@Job:34:24 @He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, And setteth others in their stead.

asv@Job:34:25 @Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works; And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

asv@Job:34:26 @He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others;

asv@Job:34:27 @Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in any of his ways:

asv@Job:34:28 @So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, And he heard the cry of the afflicted.

asv@Job:34:29 @When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man:

asv@Job:34:30 @That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people.

asv@Job:34:33 @Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest.

asv@Job:34:34 @Men of understanding will say unto me, Yea, every wise man that heareth me:

asv@Job:34:36 @Would that Job were tried unto the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.

asv@Job:34:37 @For he addeth rebellion unto his sin; He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth his words against God.

asv@Job:35:3 @That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?

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

asv@Job:35:5 @Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.

asv@Job:35:7 @If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hand?

asv@Job:35:9 @By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty.

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

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

asv@Job:35:12 @There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men.

asv@Job:35:13 @Surely God will not hear an empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it.

asv@Job:35:14 @How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!

asv@Job:35:15 @But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance;

asv@Job:35:16 @Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge.

asv@Job:36:2 @Suffer me a little, and I will show thee; For I have yet somewhat to say on God's behalf.

asv@Job:36:4 @For truly my words are not false: One that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.

asv@Job:36:5 @Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: He is mighty in strength of understanding.

asv@Job:36:6 @He preserveth not the life of the wicked, But giveth to the afflicted their right.

asv@Job:36:7 @He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: But with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.

asv@Job:36:8 @And if they be bound in fetters, And be taken in the cords of afflictions;

asv@Job:36:9 @Then he showeth them their work, And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly.

asv@Job:36:10 @He openeth also their ear to instruction, And commandeth that they return from iniquity.

asv@Job:36:11 @If they hearken and serve him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.

asv@Job:36:12 @But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.

asv@Job:36:13 @But they that are godless in heart lay up anger: They cry not for help when he bindeth them.

asv@Job:36:14 @They die in youth, And their life perisheth among the unclean.

asv@Job:36:15 @He delivereth the afflicted by their affliction, And openeth their ear in oppression.

asv@Job:36:16 @Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress Into a broad place, where there is no straitness; And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.

asv@Job:36:17 @But thou art full of the judgment of the wicked: Judgment and justice take hold on thee.

asv@Job:36:18 @For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.

asv@Job:36:19 @Will thy cry avail, that thou be not in distress, Or all the forces of thy strength?

asv@Job:36:20 @Desire not the night, When peoples are cut off in their place.

asv@Job:36:21 @Take heed, regard not iniquity: For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

asv@Job:36:22 @Behold, God doeth loftily in his power: Who is a teacher like unto him?

asv@Job:36:24 @Remember that thou magnify his work, Whereof men have sung.

asv@Job:36:25 @All men have looked thereon; Man beholdeth it afar off.

asv@Job:36:26 @Behold, God is great, and we know him not; The number of his years is unsearchable.

asv@Job:36:27 @For he draweth up the drops of water, Which distil in rain from his vapor,

asv@Job:36:28 @Which the skies pour down And drop upon man abundantly.

asv@Job:36:29 @Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, The thunderings of his pavilion?

asv@Job:36:30 @Behold, he spreadeth his light around him; And he covereth the bottom of the sea.

asv@Job:36:31 @For by these he judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.

asv@Job:36:32 @He covereth his hands with the lightning, And giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.

asv@Job:36:33 @The noise thereof telleth concerning him, The cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.

asv@Job:37:1 @Yea, at this my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place.

asv@Job:37:2 @Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, And the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

asv@Job:37:3 @He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, And his lightening unto the ends of the earth.

asv@Job:37:4 @After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of his majesty; And he restraineth not the lightnings when his voice is heard.

asv@Job:37:5 @God thundereth marvellously with his voice; Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

asv@Job:37:6 @For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.

asv@Job:37:7 @He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know it.

asv@Job:37:8 @Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens.

asv@Job:37:9 @Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm, And cold out of the north.

asv@Job:37:10 @By the breath of God ice is given; And the breadth of the waters is straitened.

asv@Job:37:11 @Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:

asv@Job:37:12 @And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world,

asv@Job:37:13 @Whether it be for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.

asv@Job:37:14 @Hearken unto this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

asv@Job:37:15 @Dost thou know how God layeth his charge upon them, And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?

asv@Job:37:16 @Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

asv@Job:37:17 @How thy garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?

asv@Job:37:18 @Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?

asv@Job:37:20 @Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

asv@Job:37:21 @And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.

asv@Job:37:22 @Out of the north cometh golden splendor: God hath upon him terrible majesty.

asv@Job:37:23 @Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out He is excellent in power; And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.

asv@Job:37:24 @Men do therefore fear him: He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.

asv@Job:38:1 @Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

asv@Job:38:3 @Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

asv@Job:38:4 @Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.

asv@Job:38:5 @Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?

asv@Job:38:6 @Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof,

asv@Job:38:7 @When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

asv@Job:38:8 @Or who shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb;

asv@Job:38:9 @When I made clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,

asv@Job:38:11 @And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

asv@Job:38:12 @Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began, And caused the dayspring to know its place;

asv@Job:38:13 @That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?

asv@Job:38:14 @It is changed as clay under the seal; And all things stand forth as a garment:

asv@Job:38:15 @And from the wicked their light is withholden, And the high arm is broken.

asv@Job:38:16 @Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?

asv@Job:38:17 @Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?

asv@Job:38:18 @Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if thou knowest it all.

asv@Job:38:19 @Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

asv@Job:38:20 @That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof?

asv@Job:38:21 @Doubtless, thou knowest, for thou wast then born, And the number of thy days is great!

asv@Job:38:22 @Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

asv@Job:38:23 @Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, Against the day of battle and war?

asv@Job:38:24 @By what way is the light parted, Or the east wind scattered upon the earth?

asv@Job:38:25 @Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, Or the way for the lightning of the thunder;

asv@Job:38:26 @To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

asv@Job:38:27 @To satisfy the waste and desolate ground, And to cause the tender grass to spring forth?

asv@Job:38:28 @Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

asv@Job:38:29 @Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

asv@Job:38:30 @The waters hide themselves and become like stone, And the face of the deep is frozen.

asv@Job:38:31 @Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion?

asv@Job:38:32 @Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?

asv@Job:38:33 @Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?

asv@Job:38:34 @Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover thee?

asv@Job:38:35 @Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say unto thee, Here we are?

asv@Job:38:36 @Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the mind?

asv@Job:38:37 @Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,

asv@Job:38:38 @When the dust runneth into a mass, And the clods cleave fast together?

asv@Job:38:39 @Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

asv@Job:38:40 @When they couch in their dens, And abide in the covert to lie in wait?

asv@Job:38:41 @Who provideth for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry unto God, And wander for lack of food?

asv@Job:39:1 @Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

asv@Job:39:2 @Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

asv@Job:39:3 @They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, They cast out their pains.

asv@Job:39:4 @Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They go forth, and return not again.

asv@Job:39:5 @Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass,

asv@Job:39:6 @Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land his dwelling-place?

asv@Job:39:7 @He scorneth the tumult of the city, Neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver.

asv@Job:39:8 @The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searcheth after every green thing.

asv@Job:39:9 @Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib?

asv@Job:39:10 @Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

asv@Job:39:12 @Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed, And gather the grain of thy threshing-floor?

asv@Job:39:13 @The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; But are they the pinions and plumage of love?

asv@Job:39:14 @For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, And warmeth them in the dust,

asv@Job:39:15 @And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, Or that the wild beast may trample them.

asv@Job:39:16 @She dealeth hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers: Though her labor be in vain, she is without fear;

asv@Job:39:17 @Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, Neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

asv@Job:39:18 @What time she lifteth up herself on high, She scorneth the horse and his rider.

asv@Job:39:19 @Hast thou given the horse his might? Hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane?

asv@Job:39:20 @Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible.

asv@Job:39:21 @He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: He goeth out to meet the armed men.

asv@Job:39:22 @He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither turneth he back from the sword.

asv@Job:39:23 @The quiver rattleth against him, The flashing spear and the javelin.

asv@Job:39:24 @He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage; Neither believeth he that it is the voice of the trumpet.

asv@Job:39:25 @As oft as the trumpet soundeth he saith, Aha! And he smelleth the battle afar off, The thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

asv@Job:39:26 @Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth, (And) stretcheth her wings toward the south?

asv@Job:39:27 @Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up, And maketh her nest on high?

asv@Job:39:28 @On the cliff she dwelleth, and maketh her home, Upon the point of the cliff, and the stronghold.

asv@Job:39:29 @From thence she spieth out the prey; Her eyes behold it afar off.

asv@Job:39:30 @Her young ones also suck up blood: And where the slain are, there is she.

asv@Job:40:2 @Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it.

asv@Job:40:3 @Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

asv@Job:40:4 @Behold, I am of small account; What shall I answer thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth.

asv@Job:40:5 @Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; Yea, twice, but I will proceed no further.

asv@Job:40:6 @Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

asv@Job:40:7 @Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

asv@Job:40:11 @Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger; And look upon every one that is proud, and abase him.

asv@Job:40:12 @Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; And tread down the wicked where they stand.

asv@Job:40:13 @Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden place.

asv@Job:40:14 @Then will I also confess of thee That thine own right hand can save thee.

asv@Job:40:15 @Behold now, behemoth, which I made as well as thee; He eateth grass as an ox.

asv@Job:40:16 @Lo now, his strength is in his loins, And his force is in the muscles of his belly.

asv@Job:40:17 @He moveth his tail like a cedar: The sinews of his thighs are knit together.

asv@Job:40:19 @He is the chief of the ways of God: He only that made him giveth him his sword.

asv@Job:40:20 @Surely the mountains bring him forth food, Where all the beasts of the field do play.

asv@Job:40:21 @He lieth under the lotus-trees, In the covert of the reed, and the fen.

asv@Job:40:22 @The lotus-trees cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook compass him about.

asv@Job:40:23 @Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.

asv@Job:40:24 @Shall any take him when he is on the watch, Or pierce through his nose with a snare?

asv@Job:41:3 @Will he make many supplications unto thee? Or will he speak soft words unto thee?

asv@Job:41:4 @Will he make a covenant with thee, That thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever?

asv@Job:41:6 @Will the bands of fishermen make traffic of him? Will they part him among the merchants?

asv@Job:41:7 @Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears?

asv@Job:41:8 @Lay thy hand upon him; Remember the battle, and do so no more.

asv@Job:41:9 @Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

asv@Job:41:10 @None is so fierce that he dare stir him up; Who then is he that can stand before me?

asv@Job:41:11 @Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

asv@Job:41:14 @Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.

asv@Job:41:15 @His strong scales are his pride, Shut up together as with a close seal.

asv@Job:41:16 @One is so near to another, That no air can come between them.

asv@Job:41:17 @They are joined one to another; They stick together, so that they cannot be sundered.

asv@Job:41:18 @His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

asv@Job:41:19 @Out of his mouth go burning torches, And sparks of fire leap forth.

asv@Job:41:20 @Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, As of a boiling pot and burning rushes.

asv@Job:41:23 @The flakes of his flesh are joined together: They are firm upon him; they cannot be moved.

asv@Job:41:24 @His heart is as firm as a stone; Yea, firm as the nether millstone.

asv@Job:41:25 @When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves.

asv@Job:41:26 @If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.

asv@Job:41:27 @He counteth iron as straw, And brass as rotten wood.

asv@Job:41:28 @The arrow cannot make him flee: Sling-stones are turned with him into stubble.

asv@Job:41:29 @Clubs are counted as stubble: He laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.

asv@Job:41:30 @His underparts are like sharp potsherds: He spreadeth as it were a threshing-wain upon the mire.

asv@Job:41:31 @He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

asv@Job:41:32 @He maketh a path to shine after him; One would think the deep to be hoary.

asv@Job:41:33 @Upon earth there is not his like, That is made without fear.

asv@Job:41:34 @He beholdeth everything that is high: He is king over all the sons of pride.

asv@Job:42:1 @Then Job answered Jehovah, and said,

asv@Job:42:3 @Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

asv@Job:42:4 @Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

asv@Job:42:5 @I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now mine eye seeth thee:

asv@Job:42:6 @Wherefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes.

asv@Job:42:7 @And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

asv@Job:42:8 @Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

asv@Job:42:9 @So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Jehovah commanded them: and Jehovah accepted Job.

asv@Job:42:10 @And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

asv@Job:42:11 @Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.

asv@Job:42:12 @So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

asv@Job:42:13 @He had also seven sons and three daughters.

asv@Job:42:14 @And he called the name of the first, Jemimah: and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

asv@Job:42:15 @And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

asv@Psalms:1:1 @Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers:

asv@Psalms:1:2 @But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night.

asv@Psalms:1:3 @And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.

asv@Psalms:1:4 @The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

asv@Psalms:1:5 @Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

asv@Psalms:1:6 @For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish.

asv@Psalms:2:1 @Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?

asv@Psalms:2:2 @The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,

asv@Psalms:2:3 @Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.

asv@Psalms:2:4 @He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.

asv@Psalms:2:5 @Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:

asv@Psalms:2:7 @I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.

asv@Psalms:2:8 @Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

asv@Psalms:2:9 @Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

asv@Psalms:2:10 @Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

asv@Psalms:2:12 @Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.

asv@Psalms:3:1 @Jehovah, how are mine adversaries increased! Many are they that rise up against me.

asv@Psalms:3:2 @Many there are that say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah

asv@Psalms:3:3 @But thou, O Jehovah, art a shield about me; My glory and the lifter up of my head.

asv@Psalms:3:4 @I cry unto Jehovah with my voice, And he answereth me out of his holy hill. Selah

asv@Psalms:3:6 @I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.

asv@Psalms:3:7 @Arise, O Jehovah; save me, O my God: For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone; Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.

asv@Psalms:4:1 @Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

asv@Psalms:4:3 @But know that Jehovah hath set apart for himself him that is godly: Jehovah will hear when I call unto him.

asv@Psalms:4:4 @Stand in awe, and sin not: Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah

asv@Psalms:4:5 @Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, And put your trust in Jehovah.

asv@Psalms:4:6 @Many there are that say, Who will show us any good? Jehovah, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

asv@Psalms:4:7 @Thou hast put gladness in my heart, More than they have when their grain and their new wine are increased.

asv@Psalms:5:2 @Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God; For unto thee do I pray.

asv@Psalms:5:3 @O Jehovah, in the morning shalt thou hear my voice; In the morning will I order my prayer unto thee, and will keep watch.

asv@Psalms:5:4 @For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: Evil shall not sojourn with thee.

asv@Psalms:5:5 @The arrogant shall not stand in thy sight: Thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

asv@Psalms:5:6 @Thou wilt destroy them that speak lies: Jehovah abhorreth the blood-thirsty and deceitful man.

asv@Psalms:5:7 @But as for me, in the abundance of thy lovingkindness will I come into thy house: In thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.

asv@Psalms:5:9 @For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; Their inward part is very wickedness; Their throat is an open sepulchre; They flatter with their tongue.

asv@Psalms:5:10 @Hold them guilty, O God; Let them fall by their own counsels; Thrust them out in the multitude of their transgressions; For they have rebelled against thee.

asv@Psalms:72:20 @The prayers of David the son of Jesse are ended.

asv@Psalms:73:1 @Surely God is good to Israel, Even to such as are pure in heart.

asv@Psalms:73:3 @For I was envious at the arrogant, When I saw the prosperity of the wicked.

asv@Psalms:73:4 @For there are no pangs in their death; But their strength is firm.

asv@Psalms:73:5 @They are not in trouble as other men; Neither are they plagued like other men.

asv@Psalms:73:6 @Therefore pride is as a chain about their neck; Violence covereth them as a garment.

asv@Psalms:73:7 @Their eyes stand out with fatness: They have more than heart could wish.

asv@Psalms:73:8 @They scoff, and in wickedness utter oppression: They speak loftily.

asv@Psalms:73:9 @They have set their mouth in the heavens, And their tongue walketh through the earth.

asv@Psalms:73:10 @Therefore his people return hither: And waters of a full cup are drained by them.

asv@Psalms:73:11 @And they say, How doth God know? And is there knowledge in the Most High?

asv@Psalms:73:12 @Behold, these are the wicked; And, being alway at ease, they increase in riches.

asv@Psalms:73:13 @Surely in vain have I cleansed my heart, And washed my hands in innocency;

asv@Psalms:73:14 @For all the day long have I been plagued, And chastened every morning.

asv@Psalms:73:15 @If I had said, I will speak thus; Behold, I had dealt treacherously with the generation of thy children.

asv@Psalms:73:16 @When I thought how I might know this, It was too painful for me;

asv@Psalms:73:17 @Until I went into the sanctuary of God, And considered their latter end.

asv@Psalms:73:18 @Surely thou settest them in slippery places: Thou castest them down to destruction.

asv@Psalms:73:19 @How are they become a desolation in a moment! They are utterly consumed with terrors.

asv@Psalms:73:20 @As a dream when one awaketh, So, O Lord, when thou awakest, thou wilt despise their image.

asv@Psalms:73:21 @For my soul was grieved, And I was pricked in my heart:

asv@Psalms:73:27 @For, lo, they that are far from thee shall perish: Thou hast destroyed all them that play the harlot, departing from thee.

asv@Psalms:73:28 @But it is good for me to draw near unto God: I have made the Lord Jehovah my refuge, That I may tell of all thy works.

asv@Psalms:74:1 @O God, why hast thou cast us off for ever? Why doth thine anger smoke against the sheep of thy pasture?

asv@Psalms:74:2 @Remember thy congregation, which thou hast gotten of old, Which thou hast redeemed to be the tribe of thine inheritance; And mount Zion, wherein thou hast dwelt.

asv@Psalms:74:3 @Lift up thy feet unto the perpetual ruins, All the evil that the enemy hath done in the sanctuary.

asv@Psalms:74:4 @Thine adversaries have roared in the midst of thine assembly; They have set up their ensigns for signs.

asv@Psalms:74:5 @They seemed as men that lifted up Axes upon a thicket of trees.

asv@Psalms:74:6 @And now all the carved work thereof They break down with hatchet and hammers.

asv@Psalms:74:7 @They have set thy sanctuary on fire; They have profaned the dwelling-place of thy name by casting it to the ground.

asv@Psalms:74:8 @They said in their heart, Let us make havoc of them altogether: They have burned up all the synagogues of God in the land.

asv@Psalms:74:9 @We see not our signs: There is no more any prophet; Neither is there among us any that knoweth how long.

asv@Psalms:74:10 @How long, O God, shall the adversary reproach? Shall the enemy blaspheme thy name for ever?

asv@Psalms:74:11 @Why drawest thou back thy hand, even thy right hand? Pluck it out of thy bosom and consume them.

asv@Psalms:74:20 @Have respect unto the covenant; For the dark places of the earth are full of the habitations of violence.

asv@Psalms:75:7 @But God is the judge: He putteth down one, and lifteth up another.

asv@Psalms:75:8 @For in the hand of Jehovah there is a cup, and the wine foameth; It is full of mixture, and he poureth out of the same: Surely the dregs thereof, all the wicked of the earth shall drain them, and drink them.

asv@Psalms:77:18 @The voice of thy thunder was in the whirlwind; The lightnings lightened the world: The earth trembled and shook.

asv@Psalms:77:19 @Thy way was in the sea, And thy paths in the great waters, And thy footsteps were not known.

asv@Psalms:77:20 @Thou leddest thy people like a flock, By the hand of Moses and Aaron.

asv@Psalms:78:1 @Give ear, O my people, to my law: Incline your ears to the words of my mouth.

asv@Psalms:78:3 @Which we have heard and known, And our fathers have told us.

asv@Psalms:78:4 @We will not hide them from their children, Telling to the generation to come the praises of Jehovah, And his strength, and his wondrous works that he hath done.

asv@Psalms:78:5 @For he established a testimony in Jacob, And appointed a law in Israel, Which he commanded our fathers, That they should make them known to their children;

asv@Psalms:78:6 @That the generation to come might know them, even the children that should be born; Who should arise and tell them to their children,

asv@Psalms:78:7 @That they might set their hope in God, And not forget the works of God, But keep his commandments,

asv@Psalms:78:8 @And might not be as their fathers, A stubborn and rebellious generation, A generation that set not their heart aright, And whose spirit was not stedfast with God.

asv@Psalms:78:9 @The children of Ephraim, being armed and carrying bows, Turned back in the day of battle.

asv@Psalms:78:10 @They kept not the covenant of God, And refused to walk in his law;

asv@Psalms:78:11 @And they forgat his doings, And his wondrous works that he had showed them.

asv@Psalms:78:12 @Marvellous things did he in the sight of their fathers, In the land of Egypt, in the field of Zoan.

asv@Psalms:78:13 @He clave the sea, and caused them to pass through; And he made the waters to stand as a heap.

asv@Psalms:78:14 @In the day-time also he led them with a cloud, And all the night with a light of fire.

asv@Psalms:78:15 @He clave rocks in the wilderness, And gave them drink abundantly as out of the depths.

asv@Psalms:78:16 @He brought streams also out of the rock, And caused waters to run down like rivers.

asv@Psalms:78:17 @Yet went they on still to sin against him, To rebel against the Most High in the desert.

asv@Psalms:78:18 @And they tempted God in their heart By asking food according to their desire.

asv@Psalms:78:19 @Yea, they spake against God; They said, Can God prepare a table in the wilderness?

asv@Psalms:78:20 @Behold, he smote the rock, so that waters gushed out, And streams overflowed; Can he give bread also? Will he provide flesh for his people?

asv@Psalms:78:21 @Therefore Jehovah heard, and was wroth; And a fire was kindled against Jacob, And anger also went up against Israel;

asv@Psalms:78:22 @Because they believed not in God, And trusted not in his salvation.

asv@Psalms:78:23 @Yet he commanded the skies above, And opened the doors of heaven;

asv@Psalms:78:24 @And he rained down manna upon them to eat, And gave them food from heaven.

asv@Psalms:78:25 @Man did eat the bread of the mighty: He sent them food to the full.

asv@Psalms:78:26 @He caused the east wind to blow in the heavens; And by his power he guided the south wind.

asv@Psalms:78:27 @He rained flesh also upon them as the dust, And winged birds as the sand of the seas:

asv@Psalms:78:28 @And he let it fall in the midst of their camp, Round about their habitations.

asv@Psalms:78:29 @So they did eat, and were well filled; And he gave them their own desire.

asv@Psalms:78:30 @They were not estranged from that which they desired, Their food was yet in their mouths,

asv@Psalms:78:31 @When the anger of God went up against them, And slew of the fattest of them, And smote down the young men of Israel.

asv@Psalms:78:32 @For all this they sinned still, And believed not in his wondrous works.

asv@Psalms:78:33 @Therefore their days did he consume in vanity, And their years in terror.

asv@Psalms:78:34 @When he slew them, then they inquired after him; And they returned and sought God earnestly.

asv@Psalms:78:35 @And they remembered that God was their rock, And the Most High God their redeemer.

asv@Psalms:78:36 @But they flattered him with their mouth, And lied unto him with their tongue.

asv@Psalms:78:37 @For their heart was not right with him, Neither were they faithful in his covenant.

asv@Psalms:78:38 @But he, being merciful, forgave their iniquity, and destroyed them not: Yea, many a time turned he his anger away, And did not stir up all his wrath.

asv@Psalms:78:39 @And he remembered that they were but flesh, A wind that passeth away, and cometh not again.

asv@Psalms:78:40 @How oft did they rebel against him in the wilderness, And grieve him in the desert!

asv@Psalms:78:41 @And they turned again and tempted God, And provoked the Holy One of Israel.

asv@Psalms:78:42 @They remember not his hand, Nor the day when he redeemed them from the adversary;

asv@Psalms:78:43 @How he set his signs in Egypt, And his wonders in the field of Zoan,

asv@Psalms:78:44 @And turned their rivers into blood, And their streams, so that they could not drink.

asv@Psalms:78:45 @He sent among them swarms of flies, which devoured them; And frogs, which destroyed them.

asv@Psalms:78:46 @He gave also their increase unto the caterpillar, And their labor unto the locust.

asv@Psalms:78:47 @He destroyed their vines with hail, And their sycomore-trees with frost.

asv@Psalms:78:48 @He gave over their cattle also to the hail, And their flocks to hot thunderbolts.

asv@Psalms:78:49 @He cast upon them the fierceness of his anger, Wrath, and indignation, and trouble, A band of angels of evil.

asv@Psalms:78:50 @He made a path for his anger; He spared not their soul from death, But gave their life over to the pestilence,

asv@Psalms:78:51 @And smote all the first-born in Egypt, The chief of their strength in the tents of Ham.

asv@Psalms:78:52 @But he led forth his own people like sheep, And guided them in the wilderness like a flock.

asv@Psalms:78:53 @And he led them safely, so that they feared not; But the sea overwhelmed their enemies.

asv@Psalms:78:54 @And he brought them to the border of his sanctuary, To this mountain, which his right hand had gotten.

asv@Psalms:78:55 @He drove out the nations also before them, And allotted them for an inheritance by line, And made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

asv@Psalms:78:56 @Yet they tempted and rebelled against the Most High God, And kept not his testimonies;

asv@Psalms:78:57 @But turned back, and dealt treacherously like their fathers: They were turned aside like a deceitful bow.

asv@Psalms:78:58 @For they provoked him to anger with their high places, And moved him to jealousy with their graven images.

asv@Psalms:78:59 @When God heard this, he was wroth, And greatly abhorred Israel;

asv@Psalms:78:60 @So that he forsook the tabernacle of Shiloh, The tent which he placed among men;

asv@Psalms:78:61 @And delivered his strength into captivity, And his glory into the adversary's hand.

asv@Psalms:78:62 @He gave his people over also unto the sword, And was wroth with his inheritance.

asv@Psalms:78:63 @Fire devoured their young men; And their virgins had no marriage-song.

asv@Psalms:78:64 @Their priests fell by the sword; And their widows made no lamentation.

asv@Psalms:78:65 @Then the Lord awaked as one out of sleep, Like a mighty man that shouteth by reason of wine.

asv@Psalms:78:66 @And he smote his adversaries backward: He put them to a perpetual reproach.

asv@Psalms:78:67 @Moreover he refused the tent of Joseph, And chose not the tribe of Ephraim,

asv@Psalms:78:68 @But chose the tribe of Judah, The mount Zion which he loved.

asv@Psalms:78:69 @And he built his sanctuary like the heights, Like the earth which he hath established for ever.

asv@Psalms:78:70 @He chose David also his servant, And took him from the sheepfolds:

asv@Psalms:78:71 @From following the ewes that have their young he brought him, To be the shepherd of Jacob his people, and Israel his inheritance.

asv@Psalms:78:72 @So he was their shepherd according to the integrity of his heart, And guided them by the skilfulness of his hands.

asv@Psalms:79:1 @O God, the nations are come into thine inheritance; Thy holy temple have they defiled; They have laid Jerusalem in heaps.

asv@Psalms:79:2 @The dead bodies of thy servants have they given to be food unto the birds of the heavens, The flesh of thy saints unto the beasts of the earth.

asv@Psalms:79:3 @Their blood have they shed like water round about Jerusalem; And there was none to bury them.

asv@Psalms:79:4 @We are become a reproach to our neighbors, A scoffing and derision to them that are round about us.

asv@Psalms:79:6 @Pour out thy wrath upon the nations that know thee not, And upon the kingdoms that call not upon thy name.

asv@Psalms:79:7 @For they have devoured Jacob, And laid waste his habitation.

asv@Psalms:79:8 @Remember not against us the iniquities of our forefathers: Let thy tender mercies speedily meet us; For we are brought very low.

asv@Psalms:79:9 @Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name; And deliver us, and forgive our sins, for thy name's sake.

asv@Psalms:79:10 @Wherefore should the nations say, Where is their God? Let the avenging of the blood of thy servants which is shed Be known among the nations in our sight.

asv@Psalms:79:11 @Let the sighing of the prisoner come before thee: According to the greatness of thy power preserve thou those that are appointed to death;

asv@Psalms:79:12 @And render unto our neighbors sevenfold into their bosom Their reproach, wherewith they have reproached thee, O Lord.

asv@Psalms:79:13 @So we thy people and sheep of thy pasture Will give thee thanks for ever: We will show forth thy praise to all generations.

asv@Psalms:80:1 @Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel, Thou that leadest Joseph like a flock; Thou that sittest above the cherubim, shine forth.

asv@Psalms:80:4 @O Jehovah God of hosts, How long wilt thou be angry against the prayer of thy people?

asv@Psalms:80:5 @Thou hast fed them with the bread of tears, And given them tears to drink in large measure.

asv@Psalms:80:6 @Thou makest us a strife unto our neighbors; And our enemies laugh among themselves.

asv@Psalms:80:8 @Thou broughtest a vine out of Egypt: Thou didst drive out the nations, and plantedst it.

asv@Psalms:80:9 @Thou preparedst room before it, And it took deep root, and filled the land.

asv@Psalms:80:10 @The mountains were covered with the shadow of it, And the boughs thereof were like cedars of God.

asv@Psalms:80:11 @It sent out its branches unto the sea, And its shoots unto the River.

asv@Psalms:80:12 @Why hast thou broken down its walls, So that all they that pass by the way do pluck it?

asv@Psalms:80:13 @The boar out of the wood doth ravage it, And the wild beasts of the field feed on it.

asv@Psalms:80:14 @Turn again, we beseech thee, O God of hosts: Look down from heaven, and behold, and visit this vine,

asv@Psalms:81:3 @Blow the trumpet at the new moon, At the full moon, on our feast-day.

asv@Psalms:81:4 @For it is a statute for Israel, An ordinance of the God of Jacob.

asv@Psalms:81:5 @He appointed it in Joseph for a testimony, When he went out over the land of Egypt, Where I heard a language that I knew not.

asv@Psalms:81:6 @I removed his shoulder from the burden: His hands were freed from the basket.

asv@Psalms:106:6 @We have sinned with our fathers, We have committed iniquity, we have done wickedly.

asv@Psalms:106:7 @Our fathers understood not thy wonders in Egypt; They remembered not the multitude of thy lovingkindnesses, But were rebellious at the sea, even at the Red Sea.

asv@Psalms:106:8 @Nevertheless he saved them for his name's sake, That he might make his mighty power to be known.

asv@Psalms:106:9 @He rebuked the Red Sea also, and it was dried up: So he led them through the depths, as through a wilderness.

asv@Psalms:106:10 @And he saved them from the hand of him that hated them, And redeemed them from the hand of the enemy.

asv@Psalms:106:11 @And the waters covered their adversaries; There was not one of them left.

asv@Psalms:106:12 @Then believed they his words; They sang his praise.

asv@Psalms:106:13 @They soon forgat his works; They waited not for his counsel,

asv@Psalms:106:14 @But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, And tempted God in the desert.

asv@Psalms:106:15 @And he gave them their request, But sent leanness into their soul.

asv@Psalms:106:16 @They envied Moses also in the camp, And Aaron the saint of Jehovah.

asv@Psalms:106:17 @The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, And covered the company of Abiram.

asv@Psalms:106:18 @And a fire was kindled in their company; The flame burned up the wicked.

asv@Psalms:106:19 @They made a calf in Horeb, And worshipped a molten image.

asv@Psalms:106:20 @Thus they changed their glory For the likeness of an ox that eateth grass.

asv@Psalms:106:21 @They forgat God their Saviour, Who had done great things in Egypt,

asv@Psalms:106:22 @Wondrous works in the land of Ham, And terrible things by the Red Sea.

asv@Psalms:106:23 @Therefore he said that he would destroy them, Had not Moses his chosen stood before him in the breach, To turn away his wrath, lest he should destroy them.

asv@Psalms:106:24 @Yea, they despised the pleasant land, They believed not his word,

asv@Psalms:106:25 @But murmured in their tents, And hearkened not unto the voice of Jehovah.

asv@Psalms:106:26 @Therefore he sware unto them, That he would overthrow them in the wilderness,

asv@Psalms:106:27 @And that he would overthrow their seed among the nations, And scatter them in the lands.

asv@Psalms:106:28 @They joined themselves also unto Baal-peor, And ate the sacrifices of the dead.

asv@Psalms:106:29 @Thus they provoked him to anger with their doings; And the plague brake in upon them.

asv@Psalms:106:30 @Then stood up Phinehas, and executed judgment; And so the plague was stayed.

asv@Psalms:106:32 @They angered him also at the waters of Meribah, So that it went ill with Moses for their sakes;

asv@Psalms:106:33 @Because they were rebellious against his spirit, And he spake unadvisedly with his lips.

asv@Psalms:106:34 @They did not destroy the peoples, As Jehovah commanded them,

asv@Psalms:106:35 @But mingled themselves with the nations, And learned their works,

asv@Psalms:106:36 @And served their idols, Which became a snare unto them.

asv@Psalms:106:37 @Yea, they sacrificed their sons and their daughters unto demons,

asv@Psalms:106:38 @And shed innocent blood, Even the blood of their sons and of their daughters, Whom they sacrificed unto the idols of Canaan; And the land was polluted with blood.

asv@Psalms:106:39 @Thus were they defiled with their works, And played the harlot in their doings.

asv@Psalms:106:40 @Therefore was the wrath of Jehovah kindled against his people, And he abhorred his inheritance.

asv@Psalms:106:41 @And he gave them into the hand of the nations; And they that hated them ruled over them.

asv@Psalms:106:42 @Their enemies also oppressed them, And they were brought into subjection under their hand.

asv@Psalms:106:43 @Many times did he deliver them; But they were rebellious in their counsel, And were brought low in their iniquity.

asv@Proverbs:4:1 @Hear, my sons, the instruction of a father, And attend to know understanding:

asv@Proverbs:4:3 @For I was a son unto my father, Tender and only beloved in the sight of my mother.

asv@Proverbs:4:4 @And he taught me, and said unto me: Let thy heart retain my words; Keep my commandments, and live;

asv@Proverbs:4:5 @Get wisdom, get understanding; Forget not, neither decline from the words of my mouth;

asv@Proverbs:4:6 @Forsake her not, and she will preserve thee; Love her, and she will keep thee.

asv@Proverbs:4:7 @Wisdom is the principal thing; therefore get wisdom; Yea, with all thy getting get understanding.

asv@Proverbs:4:8 @Exalt her, and she will promote thee; She will bring thee to honor, when thou dost embrace her.

asv@Proverbs:4:9 @She will give to thy head a chaplet of grace; A crown of beauty will she deliver to thee.

asv@Proverbs:4:10 @Hear, O my son, and receive my sayings; And the years of thy life shall be many.

asv@Proverbs:4:11 @I have taught thee in the way of wisdom; I have led thee in paths of uprightness.

asv@Proverbs:4:12 @When thou goest, thy steps shall not be straitened; And if thou runnest, thou shalt not stumble.

asv@Proverbs:4:13 @Take fast hold of instruction; let her not go: Keep her; for she is thy life.

asv@Proverbs:4:14 @Enter not into the path of the wicked, And walk not in the way of evil men.

asv@Proverbs:4:16 @For they sleep not, except they do evil; And their sleep is taken away, unless they cause some to fall.

asv@Proverbs:4:17 @For they eat the bread of wickedness, And drink the wine of violence.

asv@Proverbs:4:18 @But the path of the righteous is as the dawning light, That shineth more and more unto the perfect day.

asv@Proverbs:4:19 @The way of the wicked is as darkness: They know not at what they stumble.

asv@Proverbs:4:21 @Let them not depart from thine eyes; Keep them in the midst of thy heart.

asv@Proverbs:4:22 @For they are life unto those that find them, And health to all their flesh.

asv@Proverbs:4:23 @Keep thy heart with all diligence; For out of it are the issues of life.

asv@Proverbs:4:24 @Put away from thee a wayward mouth, And perverse lips put far from thee.

asv@Proverbs:4:25 @Let thine eyes look right on, And let thine eyelids look straight before thee.

asv@Proverbs:4:26 @Make level the path of thy feet, And let all thy ways be established.

asv@Proverbs:4:27 @Turn not to the right hand nor to the left: Remove thy foot from evil.

asv@Proverbs:5:3 @For the lips of a strange woman drop honey, And her mouth is smoother than oil:

asv@Proverbs:5:4 @But in the end she is bitter as wormwood, Sharp as a two-edged sword.

asv@Proverbs:5:5 @Her feet go down to death; Her steps take hold on Sheol;

asv@Proverbs:5:6 @So that she findeth not the level path of life: Her ways are unstable, and she knoweth it not.

asv@Proverbs:5:7 @Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And depart not from the words of my mouth.

asv@Proverbs:5:8 @Remove thy way far from her, And come not nigh the door of her house;

asv@Proverbs:5:9 @Lest thou give thine honor unto others, And thy years unto the cruel;

asv@Proverbs:5:10 @Lest strangers be filled with thy strength, And thy labors be in the house of an alien,

asv@Proverbs:5:11 @And thou mourn at thy latter end, When thy flesh and thy body are consumed,

asv@Proverbs:5:12 @And say, How have I hated instruction, And my heart despised reproof;

asv@Proverbs:5:13 @Neither have I obeyed the voice of my teachers, Nor inclined mine ear to them that instructed me!

asv@Proverbs:5:14 @I was well-nigh in all evil In the midst of the assembly and congregation.

asv@Proverbs:5:16 @Should thy springs be dispersed abroad, And streams of water in the streets?

asv@Proverbs:5:17 @Let them be for thyself alone, And not for strangers with thee.

asv@Proverbs:5:18 @Let thy fountain be blessed; And rejoice in the wife of thy youth.

asv@Proverbs:5:19 @As a loving hind and a pleasant doe, Let her breasts satisfy thee at all times; And be thou ravished always with her love.

asv@Proverbs:5:20 @For why shouldest thou, my son, be ravished with a strange woman, And embrace the bosom of a foreigner?

asv@Proverbs:5:21 @For the ways of man are before the eyes of Jehovah; And he maketh level all his paths.

asv@Proverbs:5:22 @His own iniquities shall take the wicked, And he shall be holden with the cords of his sin.

asv@Proverbs:5:23 @He shall die for lack of instruction; And in the greatness of his folly he shall go astray.

asv@Proverbs:6:2 @Thou art snared with the words of thy mouth, Thou art taken with the words of thy mouth.

asv@Proverbs:6:3 @Do this now, my son, and deliver thyself, Seeing thou art come into the hand of thy neighbor: Go, humble thyself, and importune thy neighbor;

asv@Proverbs:6:5 @Deliver thyself as a roe from the hand of the hunter, And as a bird from the hand of the fowler.

asv@Proverbs:6:6 @Go to the ant, thou sluggard; Consider her ways, and be wise:

asv@Proverbs:6:8 @Provideth her bread in the summer, And gathereth her food in the harvest.

asv@Proverbs:6:9 @How long wilt thou sleep, O sluggard? When wilt thou arise out of thy sleep?

asv@Proverbs:6:10 @Yet a little sleep, a little slumber, A little folding of the hands to sleep:

asv@Proverbs:6:12 @A worthless person, a man of iniquity, Is he that walketh with a perverse mouth;

asv@Proverbs:6:14 @In whose heart is perverseness, Who deviseth evil continually, Who soweth discord.

asv@Proverbs:6:15 @Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; On a sudden shall he be broken, and that without remedy.

asv@Proverbs:6:16 @There are six things which Jehovah hateth; Yea, seven which are an abomination unto him:

asv@Proverbs:6:17 @Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, And hands that shed innocent blood;

asv@Proverbs:6:18 @A heart that deviseth wicked purposes, Feet that are swift in running to mischief,

asv@Proverbs:6:19 @A false witness that uttereth lies, And he that soweth discord among brethren.

asv@Proverbs:6:20 @My son, keep the commandment of thy father, And forsake not the law of thy mother:

asv@Proverbs:6:21 @Bind them continually upon thy heart; Tie them about thy neck.

asv@Proverbs:6:22 @When thou walkest, it shall lead thee; When thou sleepest, it shall watch over thee; And when thou awakest, it shall talk with thee.

asv@Proverbs:6:23 @For the commandment is a lamp; and the law is light; And reproofs of instruction are the way of life:

asv@Proverbs:6:24 @To keep thee from the evil woman, From the flattery of the foreigner's tongue.

asv@Proverbs:6:25 @Lust not after her beauty in thy heart; Neither let her take thee with her eyelids.

asv@Proverbs:6:26 @For on account of a harlot a man is brought to a piece of bread; And the adulteress hunteth for the precious life.

asv@Proverbs:6:27 @Can a man take fire in his bosom, And his clothes not be burned?

asv@Proverbs:6:28 @Or can one walk upon hot coals, And his feet not be scorched?

asv@Proverbs:6:29 @So he that goeth in to his neighbor's wife; Whosoever toucheth her shall not be unpunished.

asv@Proverbs:6:30 @Men do not despise a thief, if he steal To satisfy himself when he is hungry:

asv@Proverbs:6:31 @But if he be found, he shall restore sevenfold; He shall give all the substance of his house.

asv@Proverbs:6:32 @He that committeth adultery with a woman is void of understanding: He doeth it who would destroy his own soul.

asv@Proverbs:6:33 @Wounds and dishonor shall he get; And his reproach shall not be wiped away.

asv@Proverbs:6:34 @For jealousy is the rage of a man; And he will not spare in the day of vengeance.

asv@Proverbs:6:35 @He will not regard any ransom; Neither will he rest content, though thou givest many gifts.

asv@Proverbs:7:1 @My son, keep my words, And lay up my commandments with thee.

asv@Proverbs:7:2 @Keep my commandments and live; And my law as the apple of thine eye.

asv@Proverbs:7:3 @Bind them upon thy fingers; Write them upon the tablet of thy heart.

asv@Proverbs:7:5 @That they may keep thee from the strange woman, From the foreigner that flattereth with her words.

asv@Proverbs:7:6 @For at the window of my house I looked forth through my lattice;

asv@Proverbs:7:7 @And I beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, A young man void of understanding,

asv@Proverbs:7:8 @Passing through the street near her corner; And he went the way to her house,

asv@Proverbs:7:9 @In the twilight, in the evening of the day, In the middle of the night and in the darkness.

asv@Proverbs:7:10 @And, behold, there met him a woman With the attire of a harlot, and wily of heart.

asv@Proverbs:7:11 @She is clamorous and wilful; Her feet abide not in her house:

asv@Proverbs:7:12 @Now she is in the streets, now in the broad places, And lieth in wait at every corner.

asv@Proverbs:7:13 @So she caught him, and kissed him, And with an impudent face she said unto him:

asv@Proverbs:7:15 @Therefore came I forth to meet thee, Diligently to seek thy face, and I have found thee.

asv@Proverbs:7:16 @I have spread my couch with carpets of tapestry, With striped cloths of the yarn of Egypt.

asv@Proverbs:7:18 @Come, let us take our fill of love until the morning; Let us solace ourselves with loves.

asv@Proverbs:7:19 @For the man is not at home; He is gone a long journey:

asv@Proverbs:7:20 @He hath taken a bag of money with him; He will come home at the full moon.

asv@Proverbs:7:21 @With her much fair speech she causeth him to yield; With the flattering of her lips she forceth him along.

asv@Proverbs:7:22 @He goeth after her straightway, As an ox goeth to the slaughter, Or as one in fetters to the correction of the fool;

asv@Proverbs:7:23 @Till an arrow strike through his liver; As a bird hasteth to the snare, And knoweth not that it is for his life.

asv@Proverbs:7:24 @Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me, And attend to the words of my mouth.

asv@Proverbs:7:25 @Let not thy heart decline to her ways; Go not astray in her paths.

asv@Proverbs:7:26 @For she hath cast down many wounded: Yea, all her slain are a mighty host.

asv@Proverbs:7:27 @Her house is the way to Sheol, Going down to the chambers of death.

asv@Proverbs:8:1 @Doth not wisdom cry, And understanding put forth her voice?

asv@Proverbs:8:2 @On the top of high places by the way, Where the paths meet, she standeth;

asv@Proverbs:8:3 @Beside the gates, at the entry of the city, At the coming in at the doors, she crieth aloud:

asv@Proverbs:8:4 @Unto you, O men, I call; And my voice is to the sons of men.

asv@Proverbs:8:5 @O ye simple, understand prudence; And, ye fools, be of an understanding heart.

asv@Proverbs:8:6 @Hear, for I will speak excellent things; And the opening of my lips shall be right things.

asv@Proverbs:8:8 @All the words of my mouth are in righteousness; There is nothing crooked or perverse in them.

asv@Proverbs:8:9 @They are all plain to him that understandeth, And right to them that find knowledge.

asv@Proverbs:8:10 @Receive my instruction, and not silver; And knowledge rather than choice gold.

asv@Proverbs:8:11 @For wisdom is better than rubies; And all the things that may be desired are not to be compared unto it.

asv@Proverbs:8:13 @The fear of Jehovah is to hate evil: Pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, And the perverse mouth, do I hate.

asv@Proverbs:8:16 @By me princes rule, And nobles, even all the judges of the earth.

asv@Proverbs:8:17 @I love them that love me; And those that seek me diligently shall find me.

asv@Proverbs:8:18 @Riches and honor are with me; Yea, durable wealth and righteousness.

asv@Proverbs:8:20 @I walk in the way of righteousness, In the midst of the paths of justice;

asv@Proverbs:8:21 @That I may cause those that love me to inherit substance, And that I may fill their treasuries.

asv@Proverbs:8:22 @Jehovah possessed me in the beginning of his way, Before his works of old.

asv@Proverbs:8:23 @I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, Before the earth was.

asv@Proverbs:8:24 @When there were no depths, I was brought forth, When there were no fountains abounding with water.

asv@Proverbs:8:25 @Before the mountains were settled, Before the hills was I brought forth;

asv@Proverbs:8:26 @While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, Nor the beginning of the dust of the world.

asv@Proverbs:8:27 @When he established the heavens, I was there: When he set a circle upon the face of the deep,

asv@Proverbs:8:28 @When he made firm the skies above, When the fountains of the deep became strong,

asv@Proverbs:8:29 @When he gave to the sea its bound, That the waters should not transgress his commandment, When he marked out the foundations of the earth;

asv@Proverbs:8:30 @Then I was by him, as a master workman; And I was daily his delight, Rejoicing always before him,

asv@Proverbs:8:31 @Rejoicing in his habitable earth; And my delight was with the sons of men.

asv@Proverbs:8:32 @Now therefore, my sons, hearken unto me; For blessed are they that keep my ways.

asv@Proverbs:8:33 @Hear instruction, and be wise, And refuse it not.

asv@Proverbs:8:34 @Blessed is the man that heareth me, Watching daily at my gates, Waiting at the posts of my doors.

asv@Proverbs:8:36 @But he that sinneth against me wrongeth his own soul: All they that hate me love death.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:1 @The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:2 @Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; vanity of vanities, all is vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:3 @What profit hath man of all his labor wherein he laboreth under the sun?

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:4 @One generation goeth, and another generation cometh; but the earth abideth for ever.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:5 @The sun also ariseth, and the sun goeth down, and hasteth to its place where it ariseth.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:6 @The wind goeth toward the south, and turneth about unto the north; it turneth about continually in its course, and the wind returneth again to its circuits.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:7 @All the rivers run into the sea, yet the sea is not full; unto the place whither the rivers go, thither they go again.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:8 @All things are full of weariness; man cannot utter it: the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:9 @That which hath been is that which shall be; and that which hath been done is that which shall be done: and there is no new thing under the sun.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:10 @Is there a thing whereof it may be said, See, this is new? it hath been long ago, in the ages which were before us.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:11 @There is no remembrance of the former generations; neither shall there be any remembrance of the latter generations that are to come, among those that shall come after.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @I the Preacher was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @And I applied my heart to seek and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven: it is a sore travail that God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and, behold, all is vanity and a striving after wind.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @I communed with mine own hear, saying, Lo, I have gotten me great wisdom above all that were before me in Jerusalem; yea, my heart hath had great experience of wisdom and knowledge.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @And I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly: I perceived that this also was a striving after wind.

asv@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @For in much wisdom is much grief; and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @I said in my heart, Come now, I will prove thee with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also was vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @I searched in my heart how to cheer my flesh with wine, my heart yet guiding me with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what it was good for the sons of men that they should do under heaven all the days of their life.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @I made me gardens and parks, and I planted trees in them of all kinds of fruit;

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:6 @I made me pools of water, to water therefrom the forest where trees were reared;

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:7 @I bought men-servants and maid-servants, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of herds and flocks, above all that were before me in Jerusalem;

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @I gathered me also silver and gold, and the treasure of kings and of the provinces; I gat me men-singers and women-singers, and the delights of the sons of men, musical instruments, and that of all sorts.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced because of all my labor; and this was my portion from all my labor.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do; and, behold, all was vanity and a striving after wind, and there was no profit under the sun.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the king? even that which hath been done long ago.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:13 @Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @The wise man's eyes are in his head, and the fool walketh in darkness: and yet I perceived that one event happeneth to them all.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @Then said I in my heart, As it happeneth to the fool, so will it happen even to me; and why was I then more wise? Then said I in my heart, that this also is vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @For of the wise man, even as of the fool, there is no remembrance for ever; seeing that in the days to come all will have been long forgotten. And how doth the wise man die even as the fool!

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @So I hated life, because the work that is wrought under the sun was grievous unto me; for all is vanity and a striving after wind.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @And I hated all my labor wherein I labored under the sun, seeing that I must leave it unto the man that shall be after me.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @And who knoweth whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have rule over all my labor wherein I have labored, and wherein I have showed myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to despair concerning all the labor wherein I had labored under the sun.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, and with knowledge, and with skilfulness; yet to a man that hath not labored therein shall he leave it for his portion. This also is vanity and a great evil.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @For what hath a man of all his labor, and of the striving of his heart, wherein he laboreth under the sun?

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @For all his days are but sorrows, and his travail is grief; yea, even in the night his heart taketh no rest. This also is vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @There is nothing better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and make his soul enjoy good in his labor. This also I saw, that it is from the hand of God.

asv@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @For to the man that pleaseth him God giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth travail, to gather and to heap up, that he may give to him that pleaseth God. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @For everything there is a season, and a time for very purpose under heaven:

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @a time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @a time to cast away stones, and a time to gather stones together; a time to embrace, and a time to refrain from embracing;

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he laboreth?

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @I have seen the travail which God hath given to the sons of men to be exercised therewith.

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @He hath made everything beautiful in its time: also he hath set eternity in their heart, yet so that man cannot find out the work that God hath done from the beginning even to the end.

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @I know that there is nothing better for them, than to rejoice, and to do good so long as they live.

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @And also that every man should eat and drink, and enjoy good in all his labor, is the gift of God.

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @And moreover I saw under the sun, in the place of justice, that wickedness was there; and in the place of righteousness, that wickedness was there.

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time there for every purpose and for every work.

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @I said in my heart, It is because of the sons of men, that God may prove them, and that they may see that they themselves are but as beasts.

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even one thing befalleth them: as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one breath; and man hath no preeminence above the beasts: for all is vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @All go unto one place; all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @Who knoweth the spirit of man, whether it goeth upward, and the spirit of the beast, whether it goeth downward to the earth?

asv@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @Wherefore I saw that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his works; for that is his portion: for who shall bring him back to see what shall be after him?

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @Then I returned and saw all the oppressions that are done under the sun: and, behold, the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power; but they had no comforter.

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @Wherefore I praised the dead that have been long dead more than the living that are yet alive;

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @yea, better than them both did I esteem him that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @Then I saw all labor and every skilful work, that for this a man is envied of his neighbor. This also is vanity and a striving after wind.

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:7 @Then I returned and saw vanity under the sun.

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @There is one that is alone, and he hath not a second; yea, he hath neither son nor brother; yet is there no end of all his labor, neither are his eyes satisfied with riches. For whom then, saith he, do I labor, and deprive my soul of good? This also is vanity, yea, it is a sore travail.

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @Two are better than one, because they have a good reward for their labor.

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to him that is alone when he falleth, and hath not another to lift him up.

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @Again, if two lie together, then they have warmth; but how can one be warm alone?

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @For out of prison he came forth to be king; yea, even in his kingdom he was born poor.

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @I saw all the living that walk under the sun, that they were with the youth, the second, that stood up in his stead.

asv@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @There was no end of all the people, even of all them over whom he was: yet they that come after shall not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God; for to draw nigh to hear is better than to give the sacrifice of fools: for they know not that they do evil.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @Be not rash with thy mouth, and let not thy heart be hasty to utter anything before God; for God is in heaven, and thou upon earth: therefore let thy words be few.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:4 @When thou vowest a vow unto God, defer not to pay it; for he hath no pleasure in fools: pay that which thou vowest.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @Suffer not thy mouth to cause thy flesh to sin; neither say thou before the angel, that is was an error: wherefore should God be angry at thy voice, and destroy the work of thy hands?

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:7 @For in the multitude of dreams there are vanities, and in many words: but fear thou God.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent taking away of justice and righteousness in a province, marvel not at the matter: for one higher than the high regardeth; and there are higher than they.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @Moreover the profit of the earth is for all: the king himself is served by the field.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:10 @He that loveth silver shall not be satisfied with silver; nor he that loveth abundance, with increase: this also is vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @When goods increase, they are increased that eat them; and what advantage is there to the owner thereof, save the beholding of them with his eyes?

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much; but the fulness of the rich will not suffer him to sleep.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @There is a grievous evil which I have seen under the sun, namely, riches kept by the owner thereof to his hurt:

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @and those riches perish by evil adventure; and if he hath begotten a son, there is nothing in his hand.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @As he came forth from his mother's womb, naked shall he go again as he came, and shall take nothing for his labor, which he may carry away in his hand.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @And this also is a grievous evil, that in all points as he came, so shall he go: and what profit hath he that he laboreth for the wind?

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:17 @All his days also he eateth in darkness, and he is sore vexed, and hath sickness and wrath.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @Behold, that which I have seen to be good and to be comely is for one to eat and to drink, and to enjoy good in all his labor, wherein he laboreth under the sun, all the days of his life which God hath given him: for this is his portion.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @Every man also to whom God hath given riches and wealth, and hath given him power to eat thereof, and to take his portion, and to rejoice in his labor-this is the gift of God.

asv@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @For he shall not much remember the days of his life; because God answereth him in the joy of his heart.

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is heavy upon men:

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @a man to whom God giveth riches, wealth, and honor, so that he lacketh nothing for his soul of all that he desireth, yet God giveth him not power to eat thereof, but an alien eateth it; this is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @If a man beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul be not filled with good, and moreover he have no burial; I say, that an untimely birth is better than he:

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:4 @for it cometh in vanity, and departeth in darkness, and the name thereof is covered with darkness;

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @moreover it hath not seen the sun nor known it; this hath rest rather than the other:

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @yea, though he live a thousand years twice told, and yet enjoy no good, do not all go to one place?

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @For what advantage hath the wise more than the fool? or what hath the poor man, that knoweth how to walk before the living?

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of the desire: this also is vanity and a striving after wind.

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @Whatsoever hath been, the name thereof was given long ago; and it is know what man is; neither can he contend with him that is mightier than he.

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @Seeing there are many things that increase vanity, what is man the better?

asv@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @For who knoweth what is good for man in his life, all the days of his vain life which he spendeth as a shadow? for who can tell a man what shall be after him under the sun?

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @A good name is better than precious oil; and the day of death, than the day of one's birth.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting: for that is the end of all men; and the living will lay it to his heart.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @Sorrow is better than laughter; for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made glad.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:4 @The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of mirth.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than for a man to hear the song of fools.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool: this also is vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @Surely extortion maketh the wise man foolish; and a bribe destroyeth the understanding.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof; and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry; for anger resteth in the bosom of fools.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not inquire wisely concerning this.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @Wisdom is as good as an inheritance; yea, more excellent is it for them that see the sun.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @For wisdom is a defence, even as money is a defence; but the excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom preserveth the life of him that hath it.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @Consider the work of God: for who can make that straight, which he hath made crooked?

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @In the day of prosperity be joyful, and in the day of adversity consider; yea, God hath made the one side by side with the other, to the end that man should not find out anything that shall be after him.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @All this have I seen in my days of vanity: there is a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man that prolongeth his life in his evil-doing.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @Be not righteous overmuch; neither make thyself overwise: why shouldest thou destroy thyself?

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:17 @Be not overmuch wicked, neither be thou foolish: why shouldest thou die before thy time?

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @It is good that thou shouldest take hold of this; yea, also from that withdraw not thy hand: for he that feareth God shall come forth from them all.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @Wisdom is a strength to the wise man more than ten rulers that are in a city.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @Surely there is not a righteous man upon earth, that doeth good, and sinneth not.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @Also take not heed unto all words that are spoken, lest thou hear thy servant curse thee;

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @for oftentimes also thine own heart knoweth that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @I turned about, and my heart was set to know and to search out, and to seek wisdom and the reason of things, and to know that wickedness is folly, and that foolishness is madness.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @And I find more bitter than death the woman whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bands: whoso pleaseth God shall escape from her; but the sinner shall be taken by her.

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @Behold, this have I found, saith the Preacher, laying one thing to another, to find out the account;

asv@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @Behold, this only have I found: that God made man upright; but they have sought out many inventions.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @Who is as the wise man? and who knoweth the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom maketh his face to shine, and the hardness of his face is changed.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @I counsel thee, Keep the king's command, and that in regard of the oath of God.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @Be not hasty to go out of his presence; persist not in an evil thing: for he doeth whatsoever pleaseth him.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @For the king's word hath power; and who may say unto him, What doest thou?

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @Whoso keepeth the commandment shall know no evil thing; and a wise man's heart discerneth time and judgment:

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @for to every purpose there is a time and judgment; because the misery of man is great upon him:

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:7 @for he knoweth not that which shall be; for who can tell him how it shall be?

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @There is no man that hath power over the spirit to retain the spirit; neither hath he power over the day of death; and there is no discharge in war: neither shall wickedness deliver him that is given to it.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @All this have I seen, and applied my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time wherein one man hath power over another to his hurt.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @So I saw the wicked buried, and they came to the grave; and they that had done right went away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city: this also is vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @Though a sinner do evil a hundred times, and prolong his days, yet surely I know that it shall be well with them that fear God, that fear before him:

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @but it shall not be well with the wicked, neither shall he prolong his days, which are as a shadow; because he feareth not before God.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men unto whom it happeneth according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happeneth according to the work of the righteous: I said that this also is vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @Then I commended mirth, because a man hath no better thing under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful: for that shall abide with him in his labor all the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun.

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the business that is done upon the earth (for also there is that neither day nor night seeth sleep with his eyes),

asv@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @then I beheld all the work of God, that man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun: because however much a man labor to seek it out, yet he shall not find it; yea moreover, though a wise man think to know it, yet shall he not be able to find it.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @For all this I laid to my heart, even to explore all this: that the righteous, and the wise, and their works, are in the hand of God; whether it be love or hatred, man knoweth it not; all is before them.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @All things come alike to all: there is one event to the righteous and to the wicked; to the good and 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; and he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @This is an evil in all that is done under the sun, that there is one event unto all: yea also, the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and madness is in their heart while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @For to him that is joined with all the living there is hope; for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @For the living know that they shall die: but the dead know not anything, neither have they any more a reward; for the memory of them is forgotten.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @As well their love, as their hatred and their envy, is perished long ago; neither have they any more a portion for ever in anything that is done under the sun.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @Go thy way, eat thy bread with joy, and drink thy wine with a merry heart; for God hath already accepted thy works.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @Let thy garments be always white; and let not thy head lack oil.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @Live joyfully with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of thy life of vanity, which he hath given thee under the sun, all thy days of vanity: for that is thy portion in life, and in thy labor wherein thou laborest under the sun.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might; for there is no work, nor device, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in Sheol, whither thou goest.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happeneth to them all.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @For man also knoweth not his time: as the fishes that are taken in an evil net, and as the birds that are caught in the snare, even so are the sons of men snared in an evil time, when it falleth suddenly upon them.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @I have also seen wisdom under the sun on this wise, and it seemed great unto me:

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

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city; yet no man remembered that same poor man.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @Then said I, Wisdom is better than strength: nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard.

asv@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @The words of the wise heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

asv@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @Dead flies cause the oil of the perfumer to send forth an evil odor; so doth a little folly outweigh wisdom and honor.

asv@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @A wise man's heart is at his right hand; but a fool's heart at his left.

asv@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @Yea also, when the fool walketh by the way, his understanding faileth him, and he saith to every one that he is a fool.

asv@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for gentleness allayeth great offences.

asv@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, as it were an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

asv@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @folly is set in great dignity, and the rich sit in a low place.

asv@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @I have seen servants upon horses, and princes walking like servants upon the earth.

asv@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh through a wall, a serpent shall bite him.

asv@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @Whoso heweth out stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood is endangered thereby.

asv@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @If the iron be blunt, and one do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.

asv@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @Therefore remove sorrow from thy heart, and put away evil from thy flesh; for youth and the dawn of life are vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @Remember also thy Creator in the days of thy youth, before the evil days come, and the years draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no pleasure in them;

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @before the sun, and the light, and the moon, and the stars, are darkened, and the clouds return after the rain;

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @in the day when the keepers of the house shall tremble, and the strong men shall bow themselves, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows shall be darkened,

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @and the doors shall be shut in the street; when the sound of the grinding is low, and one shall rise up at the voice of a bird, and all the daughters of music shall be brought low;

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @yea, they shall be afraid of that which is high, and terrors shall be in the way; and the almond-tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper shall be a burden, and desire shall fail; because man goeth to his everlasting home, and the mourners go about the streets:

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @before the silver cord is loosed, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern,

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @and the dust returneth to the earth as it was, and the spirit returneth unto God who gave it.

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:8 @Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher; all is vanity.

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:9 @And further, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yea, he pondered, and sought out, and set in order many proverbs.

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:10 @The Preacher sought to find out acceptable words, and that which was written uprightly, even words of truth.

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:11 @The words of the wise are as goads; and as nails well fastened are the words of the masters of assemblies, which are given from one shepherd.

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:12 @And furthermore, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh.

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:13 @This is the end of the matter; all hath been heard: fear God, and keep his commandments; for this is the whole duty of man.

asv@Ecclesiastes:12:14 @For God will bring every work into judgment, with every hidden thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil.

asv@Songs:1:1 @The Song of songs, which is Solomon's.

asv@Songs:1:2 @Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For thy love is better than wine.

asv@Songs:1:3 @Thine oils have a goodly fragrance; Thy name is as oil poured forth; Therefore do the virgins love thee.

asv@Songs:1:4 @Draw me; we will run after thee: The king hath brought me into his chambers; We will be glad and rejoice in thee; We will make mention of thy love more than of wine: Rightly do they love thee.

asv@Songs:1:5 @I am black, but comely, Oh ye daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon.

asv@Songs:1:6 @Look not upon me, because I am swarthy, Because the sun hath scorched me. My mother's sons were incensed against me; They made me keeper of the vineyards; But mine own vineyard have I not kept.

asv@Songs:1:7 @Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest thy flock, Where thou makest it to rest at noon: For why should I be as one that is veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions?

asv@Songs:1:8 @If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.

asv@Songs:1:9 @I have compared thee, O my love, To a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.

asv@Songs:1:10 @Thy cheeks are comely with plaits of hair, Thy neck with strings of jewels.

asv@Songs:1:17 @The beams of our house are cedars, And our rafters are firs.

asv@Songs:2:1 @I am a rose of Sharon, A lily of the valleys.

asv@Songs:2:2 @As a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.

asv@Songs:2:3 @As the apple-tree among the trees of the wood, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.

asv@Songs:2:4 @He brought me to the banqueting-house, And his banner over me was love.

asv@Songs:2:6 @His left hand is under my head, And his right hand doth embrace me.

asv@Songs:2:7 @I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes, or by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, Until he please.

asv@Songs:2:8 @The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh, Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.

asv@Songs:2:9 @My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: Behold, he standeth behind our wall; He looketh in at the windows; He glanceth through the lattice.

asv@Songs:2:11 @For, lo, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone;

asv@Songs:2:12 @The flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds is come, And the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land;

asv@Songs:2:13 @The fig-tree ripeneth her green figs, And the vines are in blossom; They give forth their fragrance. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

asv@Songs:2:14 @O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, In the covert of the steep place, Let me see thy countenance, Let me hear thy voice; For sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

asv@Songs:2:15 @Take us the foxes, the little foxes, That spoil the vineyards; For our vineyards are in blossom.

asv@Songs:2:16 @My beloved is mine, and I am his: He feedeth his flock among the lilies.

asv@Songs:2:17 @Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart Upon the mountains of Bether.

asv@Songs:3:2 @I said, I will rise now, and go about the city; In the streets and in the broad ways I will seek him whom my soul loveth: I sought him, but I found him not.

asv@Songs:3:3 @The watchmen that go about the city found me; To whom I said, Saw ye him whom my soul loveth?

asv@Songs:3:4 @It was but a little that I passed from them, When I found him whom my soul loveth: I held him, and would not let him go, Until I had brought him into my mother's house, And into the chamber of her that conceived me.

asv@Songs:3:5 @I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the roes, or by the hinds of the field, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, Until he please.

asv@Songs:3:6 @Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all powders of the merchant?

asv@Songs:3:7 @Behold, it is the litter of Solomon; Threescore mighty men are about it, Of the mighty men of Israel.

asv@Songs:4:1 @Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; Thine eyes are as doves behind thy veil. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, That lie along the side of mount Gilead.

asv@Songs:4:2 @Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes that are newly shorn, Which are come up from the washing, Whereof every one hath twins, And none is bereaved among them.

asv@Songs:4:4 @Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armory, Whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, All the shields of the mighty men.

asv@Songs:4:5 @Thy two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe, Which feed among the lilies.

asv@Songs:4:6 @Until the day be cool, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, And to the hill of frankincense.

asv@Songs:4:7 @Thou art all fair, my love; And there is no spot in thee.

asv@Songs:4:8 @Come with me from Lebanon, my bride, With me from Lebanon: Look from the top of Amana, From the top of Senir and Hermon, From the lions' dens, From the mountains of the leopards.

asv@Songs:4:9 @Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my bride; Thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, With one chain of thy neck.

asv@Songs:4:10 @How fair is thy love, my sister, my bride! How much better is thy love than wine! And the fragrance of thine oils than all manner of spices!

asv@Songs:4:13 @Thy shoots are an orchard of pomegranates, with precious fruits; Henna with spikenard plants,

asv@Songs:4:14 @Spikenard and saffron, Calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; Myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices.

asv@Songs:4:16 @Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; Blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, And eat his precious fruits.

asv@Songs:5:1 @I am come into my garden, my sister, my bride: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

asv@Songs:5:2 @I was asleep, but my heart waked: It is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.

asv@Songs:5:3 @I have put off my garment; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?

asv@Songs:5:4 @My beloved put in his hand by the hole of the door, And my heart was moved for him.

asv@Songs:5:5 @I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands droppeth with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the bolt.

asv@Songs:5:6 @I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, and was gone. My soul had failed me when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

asv@Songs:5:7 @The watchmen that go about the city found me, They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my mantle from me.

asv@Songs:5:9 @What is thy beloved more than another beloved, O thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than another beloved, That thou dost so adjure us?

asv@Songs:5:10 @My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand.

asv@Songs:5:11 @His head is as the most fine gold; His locks are bushy, and black as a raven.

asv@Songs:5:12 @His eyes are like doves beside the water-brooks, Washed with milk, and fitly set.

asv@Songs:5:13 @His cheeks are as a bed of spices, As banks of sweet herbs: His lips are as lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.

asv@Songs:5:15 @His legs are as pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: His aspect is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

asv@Songs:5:16 @His mouth is most sweet; Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

asv@Songs:6:1 @Whither is thy beloved gone, O thou fairest among women? Whither hath thy beloved turned him, That we may seek him with thee?

asv@Songs:6:2 @My beloved is gone down to his garden, To the beds of spices, To feed in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

asv@Songs:6:3 @I am my beloved's, and my beloved is mine; He feedeth his flock among the lilies,

asv@Songs:6:5 @Turn away thine eyes from me, For they have overcome me. Thy hair is as a flock of goats, That lie along the side of Gilead.

asv@Songs:6:6 @Thy teeth are like a flock of ewes, Which are come up from the washing; Whereof every one hath twins, And none is bereaved among them.

asv@Songs:6:8 @There are threescore queens, and fourscore concubines, And virgins without number.

asv@Songs:6:9 @My dove, my undefiled, is but one; She is the only one of her mother; She is the choice one of her that bare her. The daughters saw her, and called her blessed; Yea, the queens and the concubines, and they praised her.

asv@Songs:6:10 @Who is she that looketh forth as the morning, Fair as the moon, Clear as the sun, Terrible as an army with banners?

asv@Songs:6:12 @Before I was aware, my soul set me Among the chariots of my princely people.

asv@Songs:6:13 @Return, return, O Shulammite; Return, return, that we may look upon thee. Why will ye look upon the Shulammite, As upon the dance of Mahanaim?

asv@Songs:7:1 @How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skilful workman.

asv@Songs:7:2 @Thy body is like a round goblet, Wherein no mingled wine is wanting: Thy waist is like a heap of wheat Set about with lilies.

asv@Songs:7:4 @Thy neck is like the tower of ivory; Thine eyes as the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looketh toward Damascus.

asv@Songs:7:5 @Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the hair of thy head like purple; The king is held captive in the tresses thereof.

asv@Songs:7:8 @I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, And the smell of thy breath like apples,

asv@Songs:7:9 @And thy mouth like the best wine, That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.

asv@Songs:7:11 @Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; Let us lodge in the villages.

asv@Songs:7:12 @Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine hath budded, And its blossom is open, And the pomegranates are in flower: There will I give thee my love.

asv@Songs:7:13 @The mandrakes give forth fragrance; And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.

asv@Songs:8:1 @Oh that thou wert as my brother, That sucked the breasts of my mother! When I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; Yea, and none would despise me.

asv@Songs:8:2 @I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, Who would instruct me; I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate.

asv@Songs:8:3 @His left hand should be under my head, And his right hand should embrace me.

asv@Songs:8:4 @I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, That ye stir not up, nor awake my love, Until he please.

asv@Songs:8:5 @Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? Under the apple-tree I awakened thee: There thy mother was in travail with thee, There was she in travail that brought thee forth.

asv@Songs:8:6 @Set me as a seal upon thy heart, As a seal upon thine arm: For love is strong as death; Jealousy is cruel as Sheol; The flashes thereof are flashes of fire, A very flame of Jehovah.

asv@Songs:8:7 @Many waters cannot quench love, Neither can floods drown it: If a man would give all the substance of his house for love, He would utterly be contemned.

asv@Songs:8:8 @We have a little sister, And she hath no breasts: What shall we do for our sister In the day when she shall be spoken for?

asv@Songs:8:9 @If she be a wall, We will build upon her a turret of silver: And if she be a door, We will inclose her with boards of cedar.

asv@Songs:8:10 @I am a wall, and my breasts like the towers thereof Then was I in his eyes as one that found peace.
