Job:1:1 @ A man, there wasin the land of Uz, Job, his name, and that man was blameless and upright, and one who revered God, and avoided evil.
rotherham@Job:1:2 @ And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
rotherham@Job:1:3 @ And his substance wasseven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a body of servants exceeding large, thus was that man the greatest of all the sons of the East.
rotherham@Job:1:4 @ Now his sons were wont to go, and make a banquet, at the house of each one upon his day, and to send and call their three sisters, to eat and to drink with them.
rotherham@Job:1:5 @ And so it was, when the days of the banquet came round, that Job sent and hallowed them, and rising early in the morning offered ascending-sacrifices according to the number of them all; for Job said, Peradventure my sons have sinned, and have cursed God in their hearts. Thus and thus, was Job wont to do all the days.
rotherham@Job:1:6 @ Now there came a certain day, when the sons of God entered in to present themselves unto Yahweh, so the accuser also entered, in their midst.
rotherham@Job:1:7 @ And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and wandering about therein.
rotherham@Job:1:8 @ And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one revering God and avoiding evil?
rotherham@Job:1:9 @ And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Is it, for nought, that Job revereth God?
rotherham@Job:1:10 @ Hast not, thou thyself, made a hedge about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side? The work of his hands, thou hast blessed, and, his substance, hath broken forth in the land.
rotherham@Job:1:11 @ But, in very deed, put forth, I pray thee, thy hand, and smite all that he hath, verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.
rotherham@Job:1:12 @ And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Lo! all that he hath, is in thy hand, only, against himself, do not put forth thy hand. So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh.
rotherham@Job:1:13 @ And there came a certain day, when his sons and his daughters were eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their eldest brother.
rotherham@Job:1:14 @ And, a messenger, came in unto Job, and said, The oxen, were plowing, and, the asses, feeding beside them;
rotherham@Job:1:15 @ when the Sabeans swooped down, and took them, and, the young men, smote they with the edge of the sword, and escaped am, only I alone, too tell thee.
rotherham@Job:1:16 @ Yet was this one speaking, when, another, came in and said, A fire of God, fell out of the heavens, and burned up the sheep and the young men, and consumed them; and escaped am, only I alone, to tell thee.
rotherham@Job:1:17 @ Yet was this one speaking, when, another, came in and said, The Chaldeans, appointed three chiefs, and spread out against the camels, and took them, and, the young men, smote they with the edge of the sword; and escaped am, only I alone, to tell thee.
rotherham@Job:1:18 @ Yet was this one speaking, when, another, came in and said, Thy sons and thy daughters, were eating, and drinking wine, in the house of their eldest brother;
rotherham@Job:1:19 @ when lo! a great wind, came from over the desert, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died, and escaped am, only I alone, to tell thee.
rotherham@Job:1:20 @ Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell to the earth and worshipped;
rotherham@Job:1:21 @ and said Naked came I forth from the womb of my mother, and naked must I return thither, Yahweh, gave, and, Yahweh, hath taken away, The name of Yahweh be blessed!
rotherham@Job:1:22 @ In all this, Job sinned not, nor imputed folly unto God.
rotherham@Job:2:1 @ And there came a certain day when the sons of God entered in, to present themselves unto Yahwehso the accuser also entered in their midst, to present himself unto Yahweh.
rotherham@Job:2:2 @ And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from wandering about therein.
rotherham@Job:2:3 @ And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.
rotherham@Job:2:4 @ Then the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, Skin for skin, and so, all that a man hath, will he give for his life.
rotherham@Job:2:5 @ In very deed, put forth, I pray thee thy hand, and smite unto his bone, and unto his flesh, verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.
rotherham@Job:2:6 @ And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Behold him! in thy hand, only, his life, preserve thou!
rotherham@Job:2:7 @ So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh, and smote Job with a sore boil, from the sole of his foot, unto his crown.
rotherham@Job:2:8 @ And he took him a potsherd, to scrape himself therewith; he being seated in the midst of ashes.
rotherham@Job:2:9 @ Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast thine integrity? Curse God, and die!
rotherham@Job:2:10 @ And he said unto her, As one of the base women speaketh, speakest thou? Blessing, shall we accept from God, and, misfortune, shall we not accept? In all this, Job sinned not with his lips.
rotherham@Job:2:11 @ Now when the three friends of Job heard of all this misfortune which had befallen him, they came, every man from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, for they had by appointment met together to come to shew sympathy with him, and to comfort him.
rotherham@Job:2:12 @ And, when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and weptand rent, every one his robe, and sprinkled dust upon their heads, toward the heavens.
rotherham@Job:2:13 @ And they sat with him upon the ground, seven days and seven nights, and none was speaking unto him a word, for they saw that, exceeding great, was the stinging pain.
rotherham@Job:3:1 @ After this, opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.
rotherham@Job:3:2 @ So then Job began, and said:
rotherham@Job:3:3 @ Perish, the day wherein I was born, and the night it was said, Lo! a manchild!
rotherham@Job:3:4 @ That day, be it darkness, Let not God enquire after it from above, May there shine upon it no clear beam:
rotherham@Job:3:5 @ Let darkness and death-shade buy it back, May there settle down upon it a cloud, Let a days dark eclipse cause it terror:
rotherham@Job:3:6 @ That night, darkness take it, May it not rejoice among the days of the year, Into the number of months, let it not enter.
rotherham@Job:3:7 @ Lo! that night, be it barren, Let no joyous shouting enter therein:
rotherham@Job:3:8 @ Let day-cursers denounce it, Those skilled in rousing the dragon of the sky:
rotherham@Job:3:9 @ Darkened be the stars of its twilight, Let it wait for light, and there be none, neither let it see the eyelashes of the dawn:
rotherham@Job:3:10 @ Because it closed not the doors of the womb wherein I was, and so hid trouble from mine eyes.
rotherham@Job:3:11 @ Wherefore, in the womb, did I not die? From the womb, come forth and cease to breathe?
rotherham@Job:3:12 @ For what reason, were there prepared for meknees? and whybreasts, that I might suck?
rotherham@Job:3:13 @ Surely, at once, had I lain down, and been quiet, I had fallen asleep, then, had I been at rest:
rotherham@Job:3:14 @ With kings, and counselors of the earth, who had built them pyramids:
rotherham@Job:3:15 @ Or with rulers possessing, gold, Who had filled their houses with silver:
rotherham@Job:3:16 @ Or that, like an untimely birth hidden away, I had not come into being, like infants that never saw light:
rotherham@Job:3:17 @ There, the lawless, cease from raging, and there the toil-worn are at rest:
rotherham@Job:3:18 @ At once are prisoners at peace, they hear not the voice of a driver:
rotherham@Job:3:19 @ Small and great, there, they are, and, the slave, is free from his master.
rotherham@Job:3:20 @ Wherefore give, to the wretched, light? Or, life, to the embittered in soul?
rotherham@Job:3:21 @ Who long for death, and it is not, And have digged for it, beyond hid treasures:
rotherham@Job:3:22 @ Who rejoice unto exultation, Are glad, when they can find the grave:
rotherham@Job:3:23 @ To a man, whose way is concealed, And GOD hath straitly enclosed him?
rotherham@Job:3:24 @ For, in the face of my food, my sighing, cometh in, and, poured out like the water, are my groans:
rotherham@Job:3:25 @ For, a dread, I dreaded, and it hath come upon me, and, that from which I shrank, hath overtaken me.
rotherham@Job:3:26 @ I was not careless, nor was I secure, nor had I settled down, when there cameconsternation!
rotherham@Job:4:1 @ Then responded Eliphaz the Temanite, and said:
rotherham@Job:4:2 @ If one attempt a word unto thee, wilt thou be impatient? But, to restrain speech, who, can endure?
rotherham@Job:4:3 @ Lo! thou hast admonished many, and, slack hands, hast thou been wont to uphold:
rotherham@Job:4:4 @ Him that was stumbling, have thy words raised up, and, sinking knees, hast thou strengthened.
rotherham@Job:4:5 @ But, now, it cometh upon thee, and thou despairest, It smiteth even thee, and thou art dismayed.
rotherham@Job:4:6 @ Is not, thy reverence, thy confidence? And is not, thy hope, the very integrity of thy ways?
rotherham@Job:4:7 @ Remember, I pray thee, who, being innocent, hath perished, or when, the upright, have been cut off.
rotherham@Job:4:8 @ So far as I have seen, They who plow for iniquity and sow misery, reap the same:
rotherham@Job:4:9 @ By the blast of GOD, they perish, And, by the breath of his nostrils, are they consumed:
rotherham@Job:4:10 @ the roaring of the lion, and the noise of the howling lion, yet, the teeth of the fierce lions, are broken:
rotherham@Job:4:11 @ The strong lion perishing for lack of prey, Even the whelps of the lioness, are scattered.
rotherham@Job:4:12 @ But, unto me, something was brought by stealth, and mine ear caught a whispering of the same:
rotherham@Job:4:13 @ When there were thoughts, from visions of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men,
rotherham@Job:4:14 @ Dread, came upon me, and trembling, The multitude of my bones, it put in dread:
rotherham@Job:4:15 @ Then, a spirit, over my face, floated along, The hair of my flesh bristled-up:
rotherham@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but I could not distinguish its appearance, I looked, but there was no form before mine eyes, A whispering voice, I heard:-
rotherham@Job:4:17 @ Shall, mortal man, be more just than GOD? Or a man be more pure than, his Maker?
rotherham@Job:4:18 @ Lo! in his own servants, he trusteth not, and, his own messengers, he chargeth with error:
rotherham@Job:4:19 @ How much more the dwellers in houses of clay, which, in the dust, have their foundation, which are crushed sooner than a moth:
rotherham@Job:4:20 @ Betwixt morning and evening, are they broken in pieces, With none to save, they utterly perish:
rotherham@Job:4:21 @ Is not their tent-rope within them, torn away? They die, disrobed of wisdom!
rotherham@Job:5:1 @ Call, I pray theeis there one to answer thee? Or, to which of the holy ones, wilt thou turn?
rotherham@Job:5:2 @ For, to the foolish man, death is caused by vexation, and, the simple one, is slain by jealousy.
rotherham@Job:5:3 @ I, have seen the foolish taking root, and then hath his home decayed, in a moment:
rotherham@Job:5:4 @ His children are far removed from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is none to deliver:
rotherham@Job:5:5 @ Whose harvest, the hungry, eateth up, and, even out of thorn hedges, he taketh it, and the snare gapeth for their substance.
rotherham@Job:5:6 @ For sorrow, cometh not forth out of the dust, nor, out of the ground, sprouteth trouble.
rotherham@Job:5:7 @ Though, man, to trouble, were born, as, sparks, on high, do soar,
rotherham@Job:5:8 @ Yet indeed, I, would seek unto El, and, unto Elohim, would I set forth any cause:
rotherham@Job:5:9 @ Who doeth great things, beyond all search, Wondrous things, till they cannot be recounted;
rotherham@Job:5:10 @ Who giveth rain, upon the face of the earth, and sendeth forth waters, over the face of the open fields;
rotherham@Job:5:11 @ Setting the lowly on high, and, mourners, are uplifted to safety;
rotherham@Job:5:12 @ Who doth frustrate the schemes of the crafty, that their hands cannot achieve abiding success;
rotherham@Job:5:13 @ Who captureth the wise in their own craftiness, yea the headlong counsel of the crooked:
rotherham@Job:5:14 @ By day, they encounter darkness, and, as though it were night, they grope at high noon.
rotherham@Job:5:15 @ But he saveth from the sword, out of their mouth, and, out of the hand of the strong, the needy.
rotherham@Job:5:16 @ Thus to the poor hath come hope, and, perversity, hath shut her mouth.
rotherham@Job:5:17 @ Lo! how happy is the man whom God correcteth! Therefore, the chastening of the Almighty, do not thou refuse;
rotherham@Job:5:18 @ For, he, woundeth that he may bind up, He smiteth through, that, his own hands, may heal.
rotherham@Job:5:19 @ In six troubles, he will rescue thee, and, in seven, there shall smite thee no misfortune:
rotherham@Job:5:20 @ In famine, he will ransom thee from death, and in battle from the power of the sword;
rotherham@Job:5:21 @ During the scourge of the tongue, shalt thou be hid, neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh;
rotherham@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and at hunger, shalt thou laugh, and, of the wild beast of the earth, be not thou afraid;
rotherham@Job:5:23 @ For, with the stones of the field, shall be thy covenant, and, the wild beast of the field, hath been made thy friend;
rotherham@Job:5:24 @ And thou shalt know that, at peace, is thy tent, and shalt visit thy fold, and miss nothing;
rotherham@Job:5:25 @ And thou shalt know, that numerous is thy seed, and, thine offspring, like the young shoots of the field.
rotherham@Job:5:26 @ Thou shalt come, yet robust, to the grave, as a stack of sheaves mounteth up in its season.
rotherham@Job:5:27 @ Lo! as for this, we have searched it outso, it is, Hear it, and know, thou, for thyself.
rotherham@Job:6:1 @ Then responded Job, and said:
rotherham@Job:6:2 @ Oh that, weighed, were my vexation, and, my engulfing ruininto the balances, they would lift up all at once!
rotherham@Job:6:3 @ For, now, beyond the sand of the seas, would it be heavy, On this account, my words, have wandered.
rotherham@Job:6:4 @ For, the arrows of the Almighty, are in me, The heat whereof, my spirit is drinking up, The, terrors of GOD, array themselves against me.
rotherham@Job:6:5 @ Doth the wild ass bray over grass? Or loweth the ox over his fodder?
rotherham@Job:6:6 @ Can that which hath no savour be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
rotherham@Job:6:7 @ My soul hath refused to touch, Those things, are like disease in my food.
rotherham@Job:6:8 @ Oh that my request would come! and, my hope, oh that GOD would grant!
rotherham@Job:6:9 @ That it would please GOD to crush me, That he would set free his hand, and cut me off!
rotherham@Job:6:10 @ So might it still be my comfort, And I might exult in the anguish he would not spare, That I had not concealed the sayings of the Holy One.
rotherham@Job:6:11 @ What is my strength, that I should hope? Or what mine end, that I should prolong my desire?
rotherham@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength, the strength of stones? Or is, my flesh, of bronze?
rotherham@Job:6:13 @ Is there any help at all in me? Is not, abiding success, driven from me?
rotherham@Job:6:14 @ The despairing, from his friend, should have lovingkindness, or, the reverence of the Almighty, he may forsake.
rotherham@Job:6:15 @ Mine own brethren, have proved treacherous like a torrent, like a channel of torrents which disappear:
rotherham@Job:6:16 @ Which darken by reason of the cold, over them, is a covering made by the snow:
rotherham@Job:6:17 @ By the time they begin to thaw, they are dried up, as soon as it is warm, they have vanished out of their place.
rotherham@Job:6:18 @ Caravans turn aside by their course, they go up into a waste, and are lost:
rotherham@Job:6:19 @ The caravans of Tema looked about, the travelling companies of Sheba, hoped for them:
rotherham@Job:6:20 @ They are ashamed that they had trusted, They have come up to one of them, and are confounded.
rotherham@Job:6:21 @ For, now, ye have come to him, ye see something fearful, and fear.
rotherham@Job:6:22 @ Is it that I said, Make me a gift, or, out of your abundance, offer a bribe on my behalf;
rotherham@Job:6:23 @ And deliver me from the hand of the adversary? And, out of the hand of tyrants, ransom me?
rotherham@Job:6:24 @ Show me, and, I, will hold my peace, And, wherein I have erred, cause me to understand.
rotherham@Job:6:25 @ How pleasant are the sayings that are right! But what can a decision from you, decide?
rotherham@Job:6:26 @ To decide words, do ye intend, When, to the wind, are spoken the sayings of one in despair?
rotherham@Job:6:27 @ Surely, the fatherless, ye would assail, and make merchandise of your friend!
rotherham@Job:6:28 @ But, now, be pleased to turn to me, that it may be, to your faces, if I speak falsehood,
rotherham@Job:6:29 @ Reply, I pray you, let there be no perversity, Yea reply even yet, my vindication is in it!
rotherham@Job:6:30 @ Is there, in my tongue, perversity? Or can, my sense, not discern, engulfing ruin?
rotherham@Job:7:1 @ Is there not a warfare to a mortal, upon earth? And, as the days of a hireling, are not his days?
rotherham@Job:7:2 @ As, a bondman, panteth for the shadow, and as, a hireling, longeth for his wage,
rotherham@Job:7:3 @ So, have I been made to inherit months of calamity, and, nights of weariness, have been appointed me.
rotherham@Job:7:4 @ As soon as I lie down, I say, When shall I arise? yet he lengtheneth out the evening, and I am wearied with tossings until the breeze of twilight.
rotherham@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is clothed with worms and a coating of dust, My skin, hath hardened, and then run afresh:
rotherham@Job:7:6 @ My days, are swifter than a weavers shuttle, and they are spent, without hope.
rotherham@Job:7:7 @ Remember thou, that, a wind, is my life, not again shall mine eye see blessing:
rotherham@Job:7:8 @ Nor shall see methe eye that used to behold me, Thine eyes, are upon me, and I am not.
rotherham@Job:7:9 @ A cloud faileth, and is gone, So, he that descendeth to hades, shall not come up:
rotherham@Job:7:10 @ He shall not return again to his house, and his own place shall be acquainted with him no more.
rotherham@Job:7:11 @ I also, cannot restrain my mouth, I must speak, in the anguish of my spirit, I must find utterance, in the bitterness of my soul.
rotherham@Job:7:12 @ Am, I, a sea, or a sea-monster, That thou shouldst set over me a watch?
rotherham@Job:7:13 @ When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall help to carry my complaint,
rotherham@Job:7:14 @ Then thou scarest me with dreams, and, by visions, dost thou terrify me:
rotherham@Job:7:15 @ So that my soul chooseth strangling, Death, rather than my bones!
rotherham@Job:7:16 @ I am wasted away, Not, to times age-abiding, can I live, Let me alone, for, a breath, are my days.
rotherham@Job:7:17 @ What is a mortal, that thou shouldst nurture him? Or that thou shouldst fix upon him thy mind?
rotherham@Job:7:18 @ That thou shouldst inspect him morning by morning, moment by moment, shouldst test him?
rotherham@Job:7:19 @ How long wilt thou not look away from me? Wilt thou not let me alone, till I can swallow my spittle?
rotherham@Job:7:20 @ I have sinned, What can I do for thee, thou watcher of men? Wherefore hast thou set me as thine object of attack, or have I become, unto thee, a burden?
rotherham@Job:7:21 @ And why wilt thou not remove my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For, now, in the dust, should I lie down, and thou shouldst seek me diligently, and I should not be.
rotherham@Job:8:1 @ Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
rotherham@Job:8:2 @ How long wilt thou speak these things? Or, as a mighty wind, shall be the sayings of thy mouth?
rotherham@Job:8:3 @ Should, GOD, pervert justice? Or, the Almighty, pervert righteousness?
rotherham@Job:8:4 @ Though, thy children, sinned against him, and he delivered them into the hand of their transgression,
rotherham@Job:8:5 @ Yet, if, thou thyself, wilt diligently seek unto GOD, and, unto the Almighty, wilt make supplication;
rotherham@Job:8:6 @ If, pure and upright, thou thyself, art, surely, now, will he answer thy prayer, and will prosper thy righteous habitation:
rotherham@Job:8:7 @ So shall thy beginning appear small, when, thy latter end, he shall greatly increase!
rotherham@Job:8:8 @ For inquire, I pray thee, of a former generation, and prepare thyself for the research of their fathers;
rotherham@Job:8:9 @ For, of yesterday, are, we, and cannot know, for, a shadow, are our days upon earth:
rotherham@Job:8:10 @ Shall, they, not teach theetell thee, and, out of their memory, bring forth words?
rotherham@Job:8:11 @ Can the paper-reed grow up, without a marsh? Or the rush grow up, without water?
rotherham@Job:8:12 @ Though while still, in its freshness, it be not plucked off, yet, before any kind of grass, it doth wither:
rotherham@Job:8:13 @ So, shall be the latter end of all who forget GOD, and, the hope of the impious, shall perish:
rotherham@Job:8:14 @ Whose trust shall be contemptible, and, a spiders web, his confidence:
rotherham@Job:8:15 @ He leaneth upon his house, and it will not stand, he holdeth it fast, and it will not remain erect.
rotherham@Job:8:16 @ Full of moisture he is, before the sun, and, over his garden, his shoot goeth forth:
rotherham@Job:8:17 @ Over a heap, his roots are entwined, a place of stones, he descrieth;
rotherham@Job:8:18 @ If one destroy him out of his place, then will it disown him I have not seen thee.
rotherham@Job:8:19 @ Lo! that, is the joy of his way, and, out of the dust, shall others spring up.
rotherham@Job:8:20 @ Lo! GOD, will not reject a blameless man, neither will he grasp the hand of evil-doers:
rotherham@Job:8:21 @ At length he shall fill with laughter thy mouth, and thy lips, with a shout of triumph:
rotherham@Job:8:22 @ They who hate thee, shall be clothed with shame, but, the tent of the lawless, shall not be!
rotherham@Job:9:1 @ Then responded Job, and said
rotherham@Job:9:2 @ Of a truth, I know that so it is, But how can a mortal be just with GOD?
rotherham@Job:9:3 @ If he choose to contend with him, he cannot answer him, one of a thousand:
rotherham@Job:9:4 @ Wise in heart, and alert in vigour, What man hath hardened himself against him, and prospered!
rotherham@Job:9:5 @ Who removeth mountains, unawares, Who overturneth them in his anger;
rotherham@Job:9:6 @ Who shaketh the earth, out of its place, and, the pillars thereof, shudder;
rotherham@Job:9:7 @ Who commandeth the sun, and it breaketh not forth, and, about the stars, he putteth a seal;
rotherham@Job:9:8 @ Who spreadeth out fire heavens, by himself alone! and marcheth along, on the heights of the sea;
rotherham@Job:9:9 @ Who made the Bear, the Giant and the Cluster, and the chambers of the south;
rotherham@Job:9:10 @ Who doeth great things, past finding out, and marvels, beyond number.
rotherham@Job:9:11 @ Lo! he cometh upon me, yet can I not see him, Yea he passeth on, yet can I not discern him.
rotherham@Job:9:12 @ Lo! he snatcheth away, who can bring it back? Who shall say unto him, What wouldst thou do?
rotherham@Job:9:13 @ As for GOD, if he withdraw not his anger, under him, will have submitted themselvesthe proud helpers.
rotherham@Job:9:14 @ How much less that, I, should answer him, should choose my words with him?
rotherham@Job:9:15 @ Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, to be absolved, I would make supplication.
rotherham@Job:9:16 @ Though I had called, and he had answered me, I could not believe, that he would lend an ear to my voice.
rotherham@Job:9:17 @ For, with a tempest, would he fall upon me, and would multiply my wounds without need;
rotherham@Job:9:18 @ He would not suffer me to recover my breath, for he would surfeit me with bitter things.
rotherham@Job:9:19 @ If it regardeth vigour, bold is he! If justice, who could summon him?
rotherham@Job:9:20 @ If I should justify myself, mine own mouth, would condemn me, I blameless? then had it shewn me perverse.
rotherham@Job:9:21 @ I blameless? I should not know my own soul, I should despise my own life!
rotherham@Job:9:22 @ One thing, there is, for which cause, I have said it, The blameless and the lawless, he bringeth to an end.
rotherham@Job:9:23 @ If, a scourge, slay suddenly, at the despair of innocent ones, he mocketh.
rotherham@Job:9:24 @ The earth, hath been given into the hand of a lawless one, The faces of her judges, he covereth, If not, then who is it?
rotherham@Job:9:25 @ My days, therefore, are swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have seen no good.
rotherham@Job:9:26 @ They have passed away with boats of paper-reed, like a vulture rusheth upon food.
rotherham@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will lay aside my sad countenance, and brighten up,
rotherham@Job:9:28 @ I am afraid of all my pains, I know, that thou wilt not pronounce me innocent.
rotherham@Job:9:29 @ I, shall be held guilty, Wherefore then, in vain, should I toil?
rotherham@Job:9:30 @ Though I bathe myself in snow water, and cleanse, in cleanness itself, my hands,
rotherham@Job:9:31 @ Then, in a ditch, wouldst thou plunge me, and mine own clothes should abhor me:
rotherham@Job:9:32 @ For he is not a man like myself, whom I might answer, nor could we come together into judgment:
rotherham@Job:9:33 @ There is not, between us, a mediator, who might lay his hand upon us both.
rotherham@Job:9:34 @ Let him take from off me his rod, and, his terror, let it not startle me:
rotherham@Job:9:35 @ I could speak, and not be afraid of him, although, not so, am, I, in myself!
rotherham@Job:10:1 @ My soul doth loathe my life, I let loose my complaint, I speak, in the bitterness of my soul.
rotherham@Job:10:2 @ I say unto GOD, Do not hold me guilty, Let me know, on what account thou contendest with me!
rotherham@Job:10:3 @ Is it seemly in thee, that thou shouldst oppress? that thou shouldst despise the labour of thine own hand, when, upon the counsel of the lawless, thou hast shone?
rotherham@Job:10:4 @ Eyes of flesh, hast thou? or, as a mortal seeth, seest thou?
rotherham@Job:10:5 @ As the days of a mortal, are thy days? or, thy years, as the days of a man?
rotherham@Job:10:6 @ That thou shouldst seek for mine iniquity, and, for my sin, shouldst make search:
rotherham@Job:10:7 @ Though it is, within thine own knowledge, that I would not be lawless, and, none, out of thy hand, can deliver?
rotherham@Job:10:8 @ Thine own hands, shaped me, and made me, all in unison round about, and yet thou hast confounded me.
rotherham@Job:10:9 @ Remember, I pray thee, that, as clay, thou didst make me, and, unto dust, thou wilt cause me to return.
rotherham@Job:10:10 @ Didst thou not, like milk, pour me forth? and, as cheese, curdle me?
rotherham@Job:10:11 @ With skin and flesh, clothe me? and, with bones and sinews, interweave me?
rotherham@Job:10:12 @ Life and lovingkindness, thou didst bestow upon me, and, thy watchful care, preserved my breath.
rotherham@Job:10:13 @ Yet, these things, thou didst hide in thy heart, I know that, this, hath been with thee!
rotherham@Job:10:14 @ If I have sinned, then couldst thou watch me, and, from mine iniquity, thou wouldst not acquit me:
rotherham@Job:10:15 @ If I have been lawless, alas for me! Or, if I am righteous, I will not lift up my head, Surfeited with shame, look thou then on my humiliation.
rotherham@Job:10:16 @ When it is lifted up, like a howling lion, thou dost hunt me, Then again thou dost shew thyself marvellous against me.
rotherham@Job:10:17 @ Thou renewest thy witnesses before me, and dost increase thy vexation with me, Relaysyea an army, is with me.
rotherham@Job:10:18 @ Wherefore then, from the womb, didst thou bring me forth? I might have breathed my last, and, no eye, have seen me.
rotherham@Job:10:19 @ As though I had not been, should I have become, from the womb to the grave, might I have been borne.
rotherham@Job:10:20 @ Are not my days, few?then forbear, and set me aside, that I may brighten up for a little;
rotherham@Job:10:21 @ Before I go, and not return, unto a land of darkness and death-shade:
rotherham@Job:10:22 @ A land of obscurity, like thick darkness, of death-shade and disorder, and which shineth like thick darkness.
rotherham@Job:11:1 @ Then responded Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
rotherham@Job:11:2 @ Should, the multitude of words, not be answered? Or should, a man full of talk, be justified?
rotherham@Job:11:3 @ Shall, thy pratings, cause men to hold their peace? When thou hast mocked, shall there be none to put thee to shame?
rotherham@Job:11:4 @ Since thou hast said, Right is my doctrine, and pure am I in his eyes.
rotherham@Job:11:5 @ But, in very deed, oh that GOD would speak, that he would open his lips with thee:
rotherham@Job:11:6 @ That he would declare to thee the secrets of wisdom, for they are double to that which actually is,-Know then that GOD could bring into forgetfulness for thee, a portion of thine iniquity.
rotherham@Job:11:7 @ The hidden depth of GOD canst thou discover? Or, unto the furthest limit of the Almighty, canst thou attain?
rotherham@Job:11:8 @ The heights of the heavens, what canst thou do? Depths deeper than hades, what canst thou know?
rotherham@Job:11:9 @ Longer than the earth, is the measure thereof, and broader than the sea.
rotherham@Job:11:10 @ If he sweep on, or shut up, or call together, Who then shall hinder him?
rotherham@Job:11:11 @ For, he, knoweth men of falsity, and seeth iniquity, and him that doth not diligently consider.
rotherham@Job:11:12 @ But, an empty person, will get sense, when, a wild asss colt, is born a man!
rotherham@Job:11:13 @ If, thou, hast prepared thy heart, and wilt spread forth, unto him, thy hands
rotherham@Job:11:14 @ If, iniquity, be in thy hand, Put it far away, and let there not dwell in thy tents perversity,
rotherham@Job:11:15 @ Surely, then, shalt thou lift up thy face free from blemish, and shalt be established, and not fear.
