nkjv@Job:1:1 @ There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God and shunned evil.

nkjv@Job:1:3 @ Also, his possessions were seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, five hundred female donkeys, and a very large household, so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the East.

nkjv@Job:1:4 @ And his sons would go and feast in their houses, each on his appointed day, and would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

nkjv@Job:1:5 @ So it was, when the days of feasting had run their course, that Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did regularly.

nkjv@Job:1:6 @ Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them.

nkjv@Job:1:7 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" So Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."

nkjv@Job:1:8 @ Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil?"

nkjv@Job:1:9 @ So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Does Job fear God for nothing?

nkjv@Job:1:10 @ Have You not made a hedge around him, around his household, and around all that he has on every side? You have blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.

nkjv@Job:1:12 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only do not lay a hand on his person." So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD.

nkjv@Job:1:13 @ Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house;

nkjv@Job:1:14 @ and a messenger came to Job and said, "The oxen were plowing and the donkeys feeding beside them,

nkjv@Job:1:15 @ when the Sabeans raided them and took them away--indeed they have killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:16 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:17 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "The Chaldeans formed three bands, raided the camels and took them away, yes, and killed the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:18 @ While he was still speaking, another also came and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

nkjv@Job:1:19 @ and suddenly a great wind came from across the wilderness and struck the four corners of the house, and it fell on the young people, and they are dead; and I alone have escaped to tell you!"

nkjv@Job:1:20 @ Then Job arose, tore his robe, and shaved his head; and he fell to the ground and worshiped.

nkjv@Job:1:21 @ And he said: "Naked I came from my mother's womb, And naked shall I return there. The LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; Blessed be the name of the LORD."

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

nkjv@Job:2:2 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "From where do you come?" Satan answered the LORD and said, "From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking back and forth on it."

nkjv@Job:2:3 @ Then the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered My servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, one who fears God and shuns evil? And still he holds fast to his integrity, although you incited Me against him, to destroy him without cause."

nkjv@Job:2:4 @ So Satan answered the LORD and said, "Skin for skin! Yes, all that a man has he will give for his life.

nkjv@Job:2:6 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life."

nkjv@Job:2:7 @ So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

nkjv@Job:2:8 @ And he took for himself a potsherd with which to scrape himself while he sat in the midst of the ashes.

nkjv@Job:2:9 @ Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!"

nkjv@Job:2:10 @ But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

nkjv@Job:2:11 @ Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place--Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him.

nkjv@Job:2:12 @ And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven.

nkjv@Job:2:13 @ So they sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his grief was very great.

nkjv@Job:3:1 @ After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.

nkjv@Job:3:3 @ "May the day perish on which I was born, And the night in which it was said, "A male child is conceived.'

nkjv@Job:3:4 @ May that day be darkness; May God above not seek it, Nor the light shine upon it.

nkjv@Job:3:5 @ May darkness and the shadow of death claim it; May a cloud settle on it; May the blackness of the day terrify it.

nkjv@Job:3:6 @ As for that night, may darkness seize it; May it not rejoice among the days of the year, May it not come into the number of the months.

nkjv@Job:3:8 @ May those curse it who curse the day, Those who are ready to arouse Leviathan.

nkjv@Job:3:9 @ May the stars of its morning be dark; May it look for light, but have none, And not see the dawning of the day;

nkjv@Job:3:10 @ Because it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb, Nor hide sorrow from my eyes.

nkjv@Job:3:11 @ "Why did I not die at birth? Why did I not perish when I came from the womb?

nkjv@Job:3:12 @ Why did the knees receive me? Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?

nkjv@Job:3:13 @ For now I would have lain still and been quiet, I would have been asleep; Then I would have been at rest

nkjv@Job:3:14 @ With kings and counselors of the earth, Who built ruins for themselves,

nkjv@Job:3:15 @ Or with princes who had gold, Who filled their houses with silver;

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

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

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

nkjv@Job:3:20 @ "Why is light given to him who is in misery, And life to the bitter of soul,

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

nkjv@Job:3:25 @ For the thing I greatly feared has come upon me, And what I dreaded has happened to me.

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

nkjv@Job:4:3 @ Surely you have instructed many, And you have strengthened weak hands.

nkjv@Job:4:4 @ Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, And you have strengthened the feeble knees;

nkjv@Job:4:6 @ Is not your reverence your confidence? And the integrity of your ways your hope?

nkjv@Job:4:7 @ "Remember now, who ever perished being innocent? Or where were the upright ever cut off?

nkjv@Job:4:8 @ Even as I have seen, Those who plow iniquity And sow trouble reap the same.

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

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

nkjv@Job:4:11 @ The old lion perishes for lack of prey, And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.

nkjv@Job:4:13 @ In disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night, When deep sleep falls on men,

nkjv@Job:4:15 @ Then a spirit passed before my face; The hair on my body stood up.

nkjv@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, But I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; There was silence; Then I heard a voice saying:

nkjv@Job:4:19 @ How much more those who dwell in houses of clay, Whose foundation is in the dust, Who are crushed before a moth?

nkjv@Job:4:20 @ They are broken in pieces from morning till evening; They perish forever, with no one regarding.

nkjv@Job:4:21 @ Does not their own excellence go away? They die, even without wisdom.'

nkjv@Job:5:1 @ "Call out now; Is there anyone who will answer you? And to which of the holy ones will you turn?

nkjv@Job:5:3 @ I have seen the foolish taking root, But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.

nkjv@Job:5:4 @ His sons are far from safety, They are crushed in the gate, And there is no deliverer.

nkjv@Job:5:5 @ Because the hungry eat up his harvest, Taking it even from the thorns, And a snare snatches their substance.

nkjv@Job:5:6 @ For affliction does not come from the dust, Nor does trouble spring from the ground;

nkjv@Job:5:7 @ Yet man is born to trouble, As the sparks fly upward.

nkjv@Job:5:10 @ He gives rain on the earth, And sends waters on the fields.

nkjv@Job:5:12 @ He frustrates the devices of the crafty, So that their hands cannot carry out their plans.

nkjv@Job:5:13 @ He catches the wise in their own craftiness, And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.

nkjv@Job:5:14 @ They meet with darkness in the daytime, And grope at noontime as in the night.

nkjv@Job:5:15 @ But He saves the needy from the sword, From the mouth of the mighty, And from their hand.

nkjv@Job:5:16 @ So the poor have hope, And injustice shuts her mouth.

nkjv@Job:5:17 @ "Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects; Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.

nkjv@Job:5:20 @ In famine He shall redeem you from death, And in war from the power of the sword.

nkjv@Job:5:21 @ You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue, And you shall not be afraid of destruction when it comes.

nkjv@Job:5:22 @ You shall laugh at destruction and famine, And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.

nkjv@Job:5:23 @ For you shall have a covenant with the stones of the field, And the beasts of the field shall be at peace with you.

nkjv@Job:5:25 @ You shall also know that your descendants shall be many, And your offspring like the grass of the earth.

nkjv@Job:5:26 @ You shall come to the grave at a full age, As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.

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

nkjv@Job:6:2 @ "Oh, that my grief were fully weighed, And my calamity laid with it on the scales!

nkjv@Job:6:3 @ For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea-- Therefore my words have been rash.

nkjv@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty are within me; My spirit drinks in their poison; The terrors of God are arrayed against me.

nkjv@Job:6:5 @ Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass, Or does the ox low over its fodder?

nkjv@Job:6:6 @ Can flavorless food be eaten without salt? Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

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

nkjv@Job:6:8 @ "Oh, that I might have my request, That God would grant me the thing that I long for!

nkjv@Job:6:10 @ Then I would still have comfort; Though in anguish I would exult, He will not spare; For I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

nkjv@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones? Or is my flesh bronze?

nkjv@Job:6:14 @ "To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend, Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.

nkjv@Job:6:15 @ My brothers have dealt deceitfully like a brook, Like the streams of the brooks that pass away,

nkjv@Job:6:16 @ Which are dark because of the ice, And into which the snow vanishes.

nkjv@Job:6:17 @ When it is warm, they cease to flow; When it is hot, they vanish from their place.

nkjv@Job:6:18 @ The paths of their way turn aside, They go nowhere and perish.

nkjv@Job:6:19 @ The caravans of Tema look, The travelers of Sheba hope for them.

nkjv@Job:6:20 @ They are disappointed because they were confident; They come there and are confused.

nkjv@Job:6:23 @ Or, "Deliver me from the enemy's hand'? Or, "Redeem me from the hand of oppressors'?

nkjv@Job:6:26 @ Do you intend to rebuke my words, And the speeches of a desperate one, which are as wind?

nkjv@Job:6:27 @ Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, And you undermine your friend.

nkjv@Job:6:28 @ Now therefore, be pleased to look at me; For I would never lie to your face.

nkjv@Job:6:29 @ Yield now, let there be no injustice! Yes, concede, my righteousness still stands!

nkjv@Job:6:30 @ Is there injustice on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern the unsavory?

nkjv@Job:7:1 @ "Is there not a time of hard service for man on earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hired man?

nkjv@Job:7:2 @ Like a servant who earnestly desires the shade, And like a hired man who eagerly looks for his wages,

nkjv@Job:7:4 @ When I lie down, I say, "When shall I arise, And the night be ended?' For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn.

nkjv@Job:7:8 @ The eye of him who sees me will see me no more; While your eyes are upon me, I shall no longer be.

nkjv@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud disappears and vanishes away, So he who goes down to the grave does not come up.

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

nkjv@Job:7:14 @ Then You scare me with dreams And terrify me with visions,

nkjv@Job:7:15 @ So that my soul chooses strangling And death rather than my body.

nkjv@Job:7:16 @ I loathe my life; I would not live forever. Let me alone, For my days are but a breath.

nkjv@Job:7:21 @ Why then do You not pardon my transgression, And take away my iniquity? For now I will lie down in the dust, And You will seek me diligently, But I will no longer be."

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

nkjv@Job:8:2 @ "How long will you speak these things, And the words of your mouth be like a strong wind?

nkjv@Job:8:3 @ Does God subvert judgment? Or does the Almighty pervert justice?

nkjv@Job:8:4 @ If your sons have sinned against Him, He has cast them away for their transgression.

nkjv@Job:8:5 @ If you would earnestly seek God And make your supplication to the Almighty,

nkjv@Job:8:8 @ "For inquire, please, of the former age, And consider the things discovered by their fathers;

nkjv@Job:8:10 @ Will they not teach you and tell you, And utter words from their heart?

nkjv@Job:8:11 @ "Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh? Can the reeds flourish without water?

nkjv@Job:8:12 @ While it is yet green and not cut down, It withers before any other plant.

nkjv@Job:8:13 @ So are the paths of all who forget God; And the hope of the hypocrite shall perish,

nkjv@Job:8:16 @ He grows green in the sun, And his branches spread out in his garden.

nkjv@Job:8:17 @ His roots wrap around the rock heap, And look for a place in the stones.

nkjv@Job:8:18 @ If he is destroyed from his place, Then it will deny him, saying, "I have not seen you.'

nkjv@Job:8:19 @ "Behold, this is the joy of His way, And out of the earth others will grow.

nkjv@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not cast away the blameless, Nor will He uphold the evildoers.

nkjv@Job:8:22 @ Those who hate you will be clothed with shame, And the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing."

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

nkjv@Job:9:5 @ He removes the mountains, and they do not know When He overturns them in His anger;

nkjv@Job:9:6 @ He shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;

nkjv@Job:9:7 @ He commands the sun, and it does not rise; He seals off the stars;

nkjv@Job:9:8 @ He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea;

nkjv@Job:9:9 @ He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;

nkjv@Job:9:13 @ God will not withdraw His anger, The allies of the proud lie prostrate beneath Him.

nkjv@Job:9:14 @ "How then can I answer Him, And choose my words to reason with Him?

nkjv@Job:9:22 @ It is all one thing; Therefore I say, "He destroys the blameless and the wicked.'

nkjv@Job:9:23 @ If the scourge slays suddenly, He laughs at the plight of the innocent.

nkjv@Job:9:24 @ The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, who else could it be?

nkjv@Job:9:25 @ "Now my days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they see no good.

nkjv@Job:9:26 @ They pass by like swift ships, Like an eagle swooping on its prey.

nkjv@Job:9:29 @ If I am condemned, Why then do I labor in vain?

nkjv@Job:9:31 @ Yet You will plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes will abhor me.

nkjv@Job:9:32 @ "For He is not a man, as I am, That I may answer Him, And that we should go to court together.

nkjv@Job:9:33 @ Nor is there any mediator between us, Who may lay his hand on us both.

nkjv@Job:9:35 @ Then I would speak and not fear Him, But it is not so with me.

nkjv@Job:10:1 @ "My soul loathes my life; I will give free course to my complaint, I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

nkjv@Job:10:3 @ Does it seem good to You that You should oppress, That You should despise the work of Your hands, And smile on the counsel of the wicked?

nkjv@Job:10:5 @ Are Your days like the days of a mortal man? Are Your years like the days of a mighty man,

nkjv@Job:10:7 @ Although You know that I am not wicked, And there is no one who can deliver from Your hand?

nkjv@Job:10:11 @ Clothe me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews?

nkjv@Job:10:13 @ "And these things You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You:

nkjv@Job:10:14 @ If I sin, then You mark me, And will not acquit me of my iniquity.

nkjv@Job:10:18 @ "Why then have You brought me out of the womb? Oh, that I had perished and no eye had seen me!

nkjv@Job:10:19 @ I would have been as though I had not been. I would have been carried from the womb to the grave.

nkjv@Job:10:21 @ Before I go to the place from which I shall not return, To the land of darkness and the shadow of death,

nkjv@Job:10:22 @ A land as dark as darkness itself, As the shadow of death, without any order, Where even the light is like darkness."'

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

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

nkjv@Job:11:3 @ Should your empty talk make men hold their peace? And when you mock, should no one rebuke you?

nkjv@Job:11:6 @ That He would show you the secrets of wisdom! For they would double your prudence. Know therefore that God exacts from you Less than your iniquity deserves.

nkjv@Job:11:7 @ "Can you search out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limits of the Almighty?

nkjv@Job:11:8 @ They are higher than heaven-- what can you do? Deeper than Sheol-- what can you know?

nkjv@Job:11:9 @ Their measure is longer than the earth And broader than the sea.

nkjv@Job:11:10 @ "If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment, Then who can hinder Him?

nkjv@Job:11:11 @ For He knows deceitful men; He sees wickedness also. Will He not then consider it?

nkjv@Job:11:15 @ Then surely you could lift up your face without spot; Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;

nkjv@Job:11:17 @ And your life would be brighter than noonday. Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.

nkjv@Job:11:18 @ And you would be secure, because there is hope; Yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety.

nkjv@Job:11:20 @ But the eyes of the wicked will fail, And they shall not escape, And their hope--loss of life!"

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

nkjv@Job:12:2 @ "No doubt you are the people, And wisdom will die with you!

nkjv@Job:12:3 @ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Indeed, who does not know such things as these?

nkjv@Job:12:4 @ "I am one mocked by his friends, Who called on God, and He answered him, The just and blameless who is ridiculed.

nkjv@Job:12:5 @ A lamp is despised in the thought of one who is at ease; It is made ready for those whose feet slip.

nkjv@Job:12:6 @ The tents of robbers prosper, And those who provoke God are secure-- In what God provides by His hand.

nkjv@Job:12:7 @ "But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you; And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;

nkjv@Job:12:8 @ Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you; And the fish of the sea will explain to you.

nkjv@Job:12:9 @ Who among all these does not know That the hand of the LORD has done this,

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

nkjv@Job:12:11 @ Does not the ear test words And the mouth taste its food?

nkjv@Job:12:14 @ If He breaks a thing down, it cannot be rebuilt; If He imprisons a man, there can be no release.

nkjv@Job:12:15 @ If He withholds the waters, they dry up; If He sends them out, they overwhelm the earth.

nkjv@Job:12:16 @ With Him are strength and prudence. The deceived and the deceiver are His.

nkjv@Job:12:17 @ He leads counselors away plundered, And makes fools of the judges.

nkjv@Job:12:18 @ He loosens the bonds of kings, And binds their waist with a belt.

nkjv@Job:12:19 @ He leads princes away plundered, And overthrows the mighty.

nkjv@Job:12:20 @ He deprives the trusted ones of speech, And takes away the discernment of the elders.

nkjv@Job:12:21 @ He pours contempt on princes, And disarms the mighty.

nkjv@Job:12:22 @ He uncovers deep things out of darkness, And brings the shadow of death to light.

nkjv@Job:12:23 @ He makes nations great, and destroys them; He enlarges nations, and guides them.

nkjv@Job:12:24 @ He takes away the understanding of the chiefs of the people of the earth, And makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.

nkjv@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light, And He makes them stagger like a drunken man.

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

nkjv@Job:13:6 @ Now hear my reasoning, And heed the pleadings of my lips.

nkjv@Job:13:11 @ Will not His excellence make you afraid, And the dread of Him fall upon you?

nkjv@Job:13:13 @ "Hold your peace with me, and let me speak, Then let come on me what may!

nkjv@Job:13:20 @ "Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide myself from You:

nkjv@Job:13:21 @ Withdraw Your hand far from me, And let not the dread of You make me afraid.

nkjv@Job:13:22 @ Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then You respond to me.

nkjv@Job:13:26 @ For You write bitter things against me, And make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.

nkjv@Job:13:27 @ You put my feet in the stocks, And watch closely all my paths. You set a limit for the soles of my feet.

nkjv@Job:14:5 @ Since his days are determined, The number of his months is with You; You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.

nkjv@Job:14:7 @ "For there is hope for a tree, If it is cut down, that it will sprout again, And that its tender shoots will not cease.

nkjv@Job:14:8 @ Though its root may grow old in the earth, And its stump may die in the ground,

nkjv@Job:14:9 @ Yet at the scent of water it will bud And bring forth branches like a plant.

nkjv@Job:14:10 @ But man dies and is laid away; Indeed he breathes his last And where is he?

nkjv@Job:14:11 @ As water disappears from the sea, And a river becomes parched and dries up,

nkjv@Job:14:12 @ So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, They will not awake Nor be roused from their sleep.

nkjv@Job:14:13 @ "Oh, that You would hide me in the grave, That You would conceal me until Your wrath is past, That You would appoint me a set time, and remember me!

nkjv@Job:14:14 @ If a man dies, shall he live again? All the days of my hard service I will wait, Till my change comes.

nkjv@Job:14:15 @ You shall call, and I will answer You; You shall desire the work of Your hands.

nkjv@Job:14:19 @ As water wears away stones, And as torrents wash away the soil of the earth; So You destroy the hope of man.

nkjv@Job:14:21 @ His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; They are brought low, and he does not perceive it.

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

nkjv@Job:15:2 @ "Should a wise man answer with empty knowledge, And fill himself with the east wind?

nkjv@Job:15:5 @ For your iniquity teaches your mouth, And you choose the tongue of the crafty.

nkjv@Job:15:7 @ "Are you the first man who was born? Or were you made before the hills?

nkjv@Job:15:8 @ Have you heard the counsel of God? Do you limit wisdom to yourself?

nkjv@Job:15:10 @ Both the gray-haired and the aged are among us, Much older than your father.

nkjv@Job:15:11 @ Are the consolations of God too small for you, And the word spoken gently with you?

nkjv@Job:15:15 @ If God puts no trust in His saints, And the heavens are not pure in His sight,

nkjv@Job:15:18 @ What wise men have told, Not hiding anything received from their fathers,

nkjv@Job:15:19 @ To whom alone the land was given, And no alien passed among them:

nkjv@Job:15:20 @ The wicked man writhes with pain all his days, And the number of years is hidden from the oppressor.

nkjv@Job:15:21 @ Dreadful sounds are in his ears; In prosperity the destroyer comes upon him.

nkjv@Job:15:24 @ Trouble and anguish make him afraid; They overpower him, like a king ready for battle.

nkjv@Job:23:15 @ Therefore I am terrified at His presence; When I consider this, I am afraid of Him.

nkjv@Job:23:16 @ For God made my heart weak, And the Almighty terrifies me;

nkjv@Job:32:6 @ So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said: "I am young in years, and you are very old; Therefore I was afraid, And dared not declare my opinion to you.

nkjv@Job:42:5 @ "I have heard of You by the hearing of the ear, But now my eye sees You.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:2 @ "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:3 @ What profit has a man from all his labor In which he toils under the sun?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:4 @ One generation passes away, and another generation comes; But the earth abides forever.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:5 @ The sun also rises, and the sun goes down, And hastens to the place where it arose.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:8 @ All things are full of labor; Man cannot express it. The eye is not satisfied with seeing, Nor the ear filled with hearing.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:9 @ That which has been is what will be, That which is done is what will be done, And there is nothing new under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:10 @ Is there anything of which it may be said, "See, this is new"? It has already been in ancient times before us.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:11 @ There is no remembrance of former things, Nor will there be any remembrance of things that are to come By those who will come after.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @ I, the Preacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ And I set my heart to seek and search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under heaven; this burdensome task God has given to the sons of man, by which they may be exercised.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I have seen all the works that are done under the sun; and indeed, all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I set my heart to know wisdom and to know madness and folly. I perceived that this also is grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @ I said in my heart, "Come now, I will test you with mirth; therefore enjoy pleasure"; but surely, this also was vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I searched in my heart how to gratify my flesh with wine, while guiding my heart with wisdom, and how to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was good for the sons of men to do under heaven all the days of their lives.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @ I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted all kinds of fruit trees in them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:6 @ I made myself water pools from which to water the growing trees of the grove.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I also gathered for myself silver and gold and the special treasures of kings and of the provinces. I acquired male and female singers, the delights of the sons of men, and musical instruments of all kinds.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ Whatever my eyes desired I did not keep from them. I did not withhold my heart from any pleasure, For my heart rejoiced in all my labor; And this was my reward from all my labor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ Then I looked on all the works that my hands had done And on the labor in which I had toiled; And indeed all was vanity and grasping for the wind. There was no profit under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ Then I turned myself to consider wisdom and madness and folly; For what can the man do who succeeds the king?-- Only what he has already done.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:13 @ Then I saw that wisdom excels folly As light excels darkness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man's eyes are in his head, But the fool walks in darkness. Yet I myself perceived That the same event happens to them all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @ So I said in my heart, "As it happens to the fool, It also happens to me, And why was I then more wise?" Then I said in my heart, "This also is vanity."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @ For there is no more remembrance of the wise than of the fool forever, Since all that now is will be forgotten in the days to come. And how does a wise man die? As the fool!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ Therefore I hated life because the work that was done under the sun was distressing to me, for all is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ Then I hated all my labor in which I had toiled under the sun, because I must leave it to the man who will come after me.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ And who knows whether he will be wise or a fool? Yet he will rule over all my labor in which I toiled and in which I have shown myself wise under the sun. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ Therefore I turned my heart and despaired of all the labor in which I had toiled under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ For there is a man whose labor is with wisdom, knowledge, and skill; yet he must leave his heritage to a man who has not labored for it. This also is vanity and a great evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ For what has man for all his labor, and for the striving of his heart with which he has toiled under the sun?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days are sorrowful, and his work burdensome; even in the night his heart takes no rest. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ Nothing is better for a man than that he should eat and drink, and that his soul should enjoy good in his labor. This also, I saw, was from the hand of God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For God gives wisdom and knowledge and joy to a man who is good in His sight; but to the sinner He gives the work of gathering and collecting, that he may give to him who is good before God. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ To everything there is a season, A time for every purpose under heaven:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @ A time to cast away stones, And a time to gather stones; A time to embrace, And a time to refrain from embracing;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @ What profit has the worker from that in which he labors?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the God-given task with which the sons of men are to be occupied.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that nothing is better for them than to rejoice, and to do good in their lives,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:13 @ and also that every man should eat and drink and enjoy the good of all his labor--it is the gift of God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ Moreover I saw under the sun: In the place of judgment, Wickedness was there; And in the place of righteousness, Iniquity was there.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, "God shall judge the righteous and the wicked, For there is a time there for every purpose and for every work."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @ I said in my heart, "Concerning the condition of the sons of men, God tests them, that they may see that they themselves are like animals."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For what happens to the sons of men also happens to animals; one thing befalls them: as one dies, so dies the other. Surely, they all have one breath; man has no advantage over animals, for all is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @ All go to one place: all are from the dust, and all return to dust.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @ Who knows the spirit of the sons of men, which goes upward, and the spirit of the animal, which goes down to the earth?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ Then I returned and considered all the oppression that is done under the sun: And look! The tears of the oppressed, But they have no comforter-- On the side of their oppressors there is power, But they have no comforter.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @ Therefore I praised the dead who were already dead, More than the living who are still alive.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ Yet, better than both is he who has never existed, Who has not seen the evil work that is done under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Again, I saw that for all toil and every skillful work a man is envied by his neighbor. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @ The fool folds his hands And consumes his own flesh.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better a handful with quietness Than both hands full, together with toil and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:7 @ Then I returned, and I saw vanity under the sun:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ There is one alone, without companion: He has neither son nor brother. Yet there is no end to all his labors, Nor is his eye satisfied with riches. But he never asks, "For whom do I toil and deprive myself of good?" This also is vanity and a grave misfortune.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @ Two are better than one, Because they have a good reward for their labor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @ For if they fall, one will lift up his companion. But woe to him who is alone when he falls, For he has no one to help him up.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @ Again, if two lie down together, they will keep warm; But how can one be warm alone?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ Though one may be overpowered by another, two can withstand him. And a threefold cord is not quickly broken.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @ I saw all the living who walk under the sun; They were with the second youth who stands in his place.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ There was no end of all the people over whom he was made king; Yet those who come afterward will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:1 @ Walk prudently when you go to the house of God; and draw near to hear rather than to give the sacrifice of fools, for they do not know that they do evil.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:2 @ Do not be rash with your mouth, And let not your heart utter anything hastily before God. For God is in heaven, and you on earth; Therefore let your words be few.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:6 @ Do not let your mouth cause your flesh to sin, nor say before the messenger of God that it was an error. Why should God be angry at your excuse and destroy the work of your hands?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:7 @ For in the multitude of dreams and many words there is also vanity. But fear God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:8 @ If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:9 @ Moreover the profit of the land is for all; even the king is served from the field.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:11 @ When goods increase, They increase who eat them; So what profit have the owners Except to see them with their eyes?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:12 @ The sleep of a laboring man is sweet, Whether he eats little or much; But the abundance of the rich will not permit him to sleep.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:13 @ There is a severe evil which I have seen under the sun: Riches kept for their owner to his hurt.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:14 @ But those riches perish through misfortune; When he begets a son, there is nothing in his hand.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:15 @ As he came from his mother's womb, naked shall he return, To go as he came; And he shall take nothing from his labor Which he may carry away in his hand.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:16 @ And this also is a severe evil-- Just exactly as he came, so shall he go. And what profit has he who has labored for the wind?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:18 @ Here is what I have seen: It is good and fitting for one to eat and drink, and to enjoy the good of all his labor in which he toils under the sun all the days of his life which God gives him; for it is his heritage.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:19 @ As for every man to whom God has given riches and wealth, and given him power to eat of it, to receive his heritage and rejoice in his labor--this is the gift of God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:5:20 @ For he will not dwell unduly on the days of his life, because God keeps him busy with the joy of his heart.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is common among men:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man begets a hundred children and lives many years, so that the days of his years are many, but his soul is not satisfied with goodness, or indeed he has no burial, I say that a stillborn child is better than he--

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @ Though it has not seen the sun or known anything, this has more rest than that man,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @ All the labor of man is for his mouth, And yet the soul is not satisfied.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ For what more has the wise man than the fool? What does the poor man have, Who knows how to walk before the living?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @ Better is the sight of the eyes than the wandering of desire. This also is vanity and grasping for the wind.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @ Since there are many things that increase vanity, How is man the better?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @ For who knows what is good for man in life, all the days of his vain life which he passes like a shadow? Who can tell a man what will happen after him under the sun?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @ A good name is better than precious ointment, And the day of death than the day of one's birth;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ 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 take it to heart.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @ Sorrow is better than laughter, For by a sad countenance the heart is made better.

nkjv@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.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise Than for a man to hear the song of fools.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @ For like the crackling of thorns under a pot, So is the laughter of the fool. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @ Surely oppression destroys a wise man's reason, And a bribe debases the heart.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @ The end of a thing is better than its beginning; The patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:9 @ Do not hasten in your spirit to be angry, For anger rests in the bosom of fools.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Do not say, "Why were the former days better than these?" For you do not inquire wisely concerning this.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @ Wisdom is good with an inheritance, And profitable to those who see the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For wisdom is a defense as money is a defense, But the excellence of knowledge is that wisdom gives life to those who have it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @ Consider the work of God; For who can make straight what He has made crooked?

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ In the day of prosperity be joyful, But in the day of adversity consider: Surely God has appointed the one as well as the other, So that man can find out nothing that will come after him.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ I have seen everything in my days of vanity: There is a just man who perishes in his righteousness, And there is a wicked man who prolongs life in his wickedness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that you grasp this, And also not remove your hand from the other; For he who fears God will escape them all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @ Wisdom strengthens the wise More than ten rulers of the city.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ For there is not a just man on earth who does good And does not sin.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ For many times, also, your own heart has known That even you have cursed others.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ I applied my heart to know, To search and seek out wisdom and the reason of things, To know the wickedness of folly, Even of foolishness and madness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @ And I find more bitter than death The woman whose heart is snares and nets, Whose hands are fetters. He who pleases God shall escape from her, But the sinner shall be trapped by her.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @ "Here is what I have found," says the Preacher, "Adding one thing to the other to find out the reason,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @ Which my soul still seeks but I cannot find: One man among a thousand I have found, But a woman among all these I have not found.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @ Truly, this only I have found: That God made man upright, But they have sought out many schemes."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @ Who is like a wise man? And who knows the interpretation of a thing? A man's wisdom makes his face shine, And the sternness of his face is changed.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @ I say, "Keep the king's commandment for the sake of your oath to God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @ Where the word of a king is, there is power; And who may say to him, "What are you doing?"

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @ Because for every matter there is a time and judgment, Though the misery of man increases greatly.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No one has power over the spirit to retain the spirit, And no one has power in the day of death. There is no release from that war, And wickedness will not deliver those who are given to it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this I have seen, and applied my heart to every work that is done under the sun: There is a time in which one man rules over another to his own hurt.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ Then I saw the wicked buried, who had come and gone from the place of holiness, and they were forgotten in the city where they had so done. This also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because the 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.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ But it will not be well with the wicked; nor will he prolong his days, which are as a shadow, because he does not fear before God.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which occurs on earth, that there are just men to whom it happens according to the work of the wicked; again, there are wicked men to whom it happens according to the work of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ So I commended enjoyment, because a man has nothing better under the sun than to eat, drink, and be merry; for this will remain with him in his labor all the days of his life which God gives him under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my heart to know wisdom and to see the business that is done on earth, even though one sees no sleep day or night,

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ then I saw all the work of God, that a man cannot find out the work that is done under the sun. For though a man labors to discover it, yet he will not find it; moreover, though a wise man attempts to know it, he will not be able to find it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ For I considered all this in my heart, so that I could declare it all: that the righteous and the wise and their works are in the hand of God. People know neither love nor hatred by anything they see before them.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ All things come alike to all: One event happens to the righteous and the wicked; To the good, the clean, and the unclean; To him who sacrifices and him who does not sacrifice. As is the good, so is the sinner; He who takes an oath as he who fears an oath.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil in all that is done under the sun: that one thing happens to all. Truly the hearts of the sons of men are full of evil; madness is in their hearts while they live, and after that they go to the dead.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ But for him who is joined to all the living there is hope, for a living dog is better than a dead lion.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they will die; But the dead know nothing, And they have no more reward, For the memory of them is forgotten.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ Also their love, their hatred, and their envy have now perished; Nevermore will they have a share In anything done under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @ Live joyfully with the wife whom you love all the days of your vain life which He has given you under the sun, all your days of vanity; for that is your portion in life, and in the labor which you perform under the sun.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with your might; for there is no work or device or knowledge or wisdom in the grave where you are going.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ I returned and saw under the sun that-- The race is not to the swift, Nor the battle to the strong, Nor bread to the wise, Nor riches to men of understanding, Nor favor to men of skill; But time and chance happen to them all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man also does not know his time: Like fish taken in a cruel net, Like birds caught in a snare, So the sons of men are snared in an evil time, When it falls suddenly upon them.

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

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city with few men in it; and a great king came against it, besieged it, and built great snares around it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ Now there was found in it a poor wise man, and he by his wisdom delivered the city. Yet no one remembered that same poor man.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ Then I said: "Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, And his words are not heard.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ Words of the wise, spoken quietly, should be heard Rather than the shout of a ruler of fools.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies putrefy the perfumer's ointment, And cause it to give off a foul odor; So does a little folly to one respected for wisdom and honor.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Even when a fool walks along the way, He lacks wisdom, And he shows everyone that he is a fool.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the spirit of the ruler rises against you, Do not leave your post; For conciliation pacifies great offenses.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil I have seen under the sun, As an error proceeding from the ruler:

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ Folly is set in great dignity, While the rich sit in a lowly place.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @ I have seen servants on horses, While princes walk on the ground like servants.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ He who quarries stones may be hurt by them, And he who splits wood may be endangered by it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the ax is dull, And one does not sharpen the edge, Then he must use more strength; But wisdom brings success.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ A serpent may bite when it is not charmed; The babbler is no different.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise man's mouth are gracious, But the lips of a fool shall swallow him up;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The words of his mouth begin with foolishness, And the end of his talk is raving madness.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The labor of fools wearies them, For they do not even know how to go to the city!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to you, O land, when your king is a child, And your princes feast in the morning!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Blessed are you, O land, when your king is the son of nobles, And your princes feast at the proper time-- For strength and not for drunkenness!

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @ Because of laziness the building decays, And through idleness of hands the house leaks.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Do not curse the king, even in your thought; Do not curse the rich, even in your bedroom; For a bird of the air may carry your voice, And a bird in flight may tell the matter.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @ Cast your bread upon the waters, For you will find it after many days.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a serving to seven, and also to eight, For you do not know what evil will be on the earth.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @ If the clouds are full of rain, They empty themselves upon the earth; And if a tree falls to the south or the north, In the place where the tree falls, there it shall lie.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:4 @ He who observes the wind will not sow, And he who regards the clouds will not reap.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @ As you do not know what is the way of the wind, Or how the bones grow in the womb of her who is with child, So you do not know the works of God who makes everything.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @ In the morning sow your seed, And in the evening do not withhold your hand; For you do not know which will prosper, Either this or that, Or whether both alike will be good.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @ Truly the light is sweet, And it is pleasant for the eyes to behold the sun;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @ But if a man lives many years And rejoices in them all, Yet let him remember the days of darkness, For they will be many. All that is coming is vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @ Rejoice, O young man, in your youth, And let your heart cheer you in the days of your youth; Walk in the ways of your heart, And in the sight of your eyes; But know that for all these God will bring you into judgment.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:11:10 @ Therefore remove sorrow from your heart, And put away evil from your flesh, For childhood and youth are vanity.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:1 @ Remember now your Creator in the days of your youth, Before the difficult days come, And the years draw near when you say, "I have no pleasure in them":

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:2 @ While the sun and the light, The moon and the stars, Are not darkened, And the clouds do not return after the rain;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:3 @ In the day when the keepers of the house tremble, And the strong men bow down; When the grinders cease because they are few, And those that look through the windows grow dim;

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:4 @ When the doors are shut in the streets, And the sound of grinding is low; When one rises up at the sound of a bird, And all the daughters of music are brought low.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:5 @ Also they are afraid of height, And of terrors in the way; When the almond tree blossoms, The grasshopper is a burden, And desire fails. For man goes to his eternal home, And the mourners go about the streets.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:6 @ Remember your Creator before the silver cord is loosed, Or the golden bowl is broken, Or the pitcher shattered at the fountain, Or the wheel broken at the well.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:7 @ Then the dust will return to the earth as it was, And the spirit will return to God who gave it.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:8 @ "Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher, "All is vanity."

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:9 @ And moreover, because the Preacher was wise, he still taught the people knowledge; yes, he pondered and sought out and set in order many proverbs.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:10 @ The Preacher sought to find acceptable words; and what was written was upright--words of truth.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:11 @ The words of the wise are like goads, and the words of scholars are like well-driven nails, given by one Shepherd.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:12 @ And further, my son, be admonished by these. Of making many books there is no end, and much study is wearisome to the flesh.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:13 @ Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, For this is man's all.

nkjv@Ecclesiastes:12:14 @ For God will bring every work into judgment, Including every secret thing, Whether good or evil.

nkjv@Songs:1:1 @ The song of songs, which is Solomon's.

nkjv@Songs:1:2 @ Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- For your love is better than wine.

nkjv@Songs:1:3 @ Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, Your name is ointment poured forth; Therefore the virgins love you.

nkjv@Songs:1:4 @ Draw me away! We will run after you. The king has brought me into his chambers. We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will remember 1your love more than wine. Rightly do they love 1you.

nkjv@Songs:1:5 @ I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon.

nkjv@Songs:1:6 @ Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. My mother's sons were angry with me; They made me the keeper of the vineyards, But my own vineyard I have not kept.

nkjv@Songs:1:7 @ Tell me, O you whom I love, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who veils herself By the flocks of your companions?

nkjv@Songs:1:8 @ If you do not know, O fairest among women, Follow in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats Beside the shepherds' tents.

nkjv@Songs:1:12 @ While the king is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance.

nkjv@Songs:1:14 @ My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of En Gedi.

nkjv@Songs:1:17 @ The beams of our houses are cedar, And our rafters of fir.

nkjv@Songs:2:1 @ I am the rose of Sharon, And the lily of the valleys.

nkjv@Songs:2:2 @ Like a lily among thorns, So is my love among the daughters.

nkjv@Songs:2:3 @ Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods, So is my beloved among the sons. I sat down in his shade with great delight, And his fruit was sweet to my taste.

nkjv@Songs:2:4 @ He brought me to the banqueting house, And his banner over me was love.

nkjv@Songs:2:7 @ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.

nkjv@Songs:2:8 @ The voice of my beloved! Behold, he comes Leaping upon the mountains, Skipping upon the hills.

nkjv@Songs:2:9 @ My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag. Behold, he stands behind our wall; He is looking through the windows, Gazing through the lattice.

nkjv@Songs:2:11 @ For lo, the winter is past, The rain is over and gone.

nkjv@Songs:2:12 @ The flowers appear on the earth; The time of singing has come, And the voice of the turtledove Is heard in our land.

nkjv@Songs:2:13 @ The fig tree puts forth her green figs, And the vines with the tender grapes Give a good smell. Rise up, my love, my fair one, And come away!

nkjv@Songs:2:14 @ "O my dove, in the clefts of the rock, In the secret places of the cliff, Let me see your face, Let me hear your voice; For your voice is sweet, And your face is lovely."

nkjv@Songs:2:15 @ Catch us the foxes, The little foxes that spoil the vines, For our vines have tender grapes.

nkjv@Songs:2:16 @ My beloved is mine, and I am his. He feeds his flock among the lilies.

nkjv@Songs:2:17 @ Until the day breaks And the shadows flee away, Turn, my beloved, And be like a gazelle Or a young stag Upon the mountains of Bether.

nkjv@Songs:3:1 @ By night on my bed I sought the one I love; I sought him, but I did not find him.

nkjv@Songs:3:2 @ "I will rise now," I said, "And go about the city; In the streets and in the squares I will seek the one I love." I sought him, but I did not find him.

nkjv@Songs:3:3 @ The watchmen who go about the city found me; I said, "Have you seen the one I love?"

nkjv@Songs:3:4 @ Scarcely had I passed by them, When I found the one I love. I held him and would not let him go, Until I had brought him to the house of my mother, And into the chamber of her who conceived me.

nkjv@Songs:3:5 @ I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, By the gazelles or by the does of the field, Do not stir up nor awaken love Until it pleases.

nkjv@Songs:3:6 @ Who is this coming out of the wilderness Like pillars of smoke, Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense, With all the merchant's fragrant powders?

nkjv@Songs:3:7 @ Behold, it is Solomon's couch, With sixty valiant men around it, Of the valiant of Israel.

nkjv@Songs:3:8 @ They all hold swords, Being expert in war. Every man has his sword on his thigh Because of fear in the night.

nkjv@Songs:3:9 @ Of the wood of Lebanon Solomon the King Made himself a palanquin:

nkjv@Songs:3:10 @ He made its pillars of silver, Its support of gold, Its seat of purple, Its interior paved with love By the daughters of Jerusalem.

nkjv@Songs:3:11 @ Go forth, O daughters of Zion, And see King Solomon with the crown With which his mother crowned him On the day of his wedding, The day of the gladness of his heart.

nkjv@Songs:4:2 @ Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep Which have come up from the washing, Every one of which bears twins, And none is barren among them.

nkjv@Songs:4:4 @ Your neck is like the tower of David, Built for an armory, On which hang a thousand bucklers, All shields of mighty men.

nkjv@Songs:4:5 @ Your two breasts are like two fawns, Twins of a gazelle, Which feed among the lilies.

nkjv@Songs:4:6 @ Until the day breaks And the shadows flee away, I will go my way to the mountain of myrrh And to the hill of frankincense.

nkjv@Songs:4:7 @ You are all fair, my love, And there is no spot in you.

nkjv@Songs:4:8 @ Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, 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.

nkjv@Songs:4:10 @ How fair is your love, My sister, my spouse! How much better than wine is your love, And the scent of your perfumes Than all spices!

nkjv@Songs:4:11 @ Your lips, O my spouse, Drip as the honeycomb; Honey and milk are under your tongue; And the fragrance of your garments Is like the fragrance of Lebanon.

nkjv@Songs:4:14 @ Spikenard and saffron, Calamus and cinnamon, With all trees of frankincense, Myrrh and aloes, With all the chief spices--

nkjv@Songs:5:1 @ I have come to my garden, my sister, my spouse; 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, yes, drink deeply, O beloved ones!

nkjv@Songs:5:2 @ I sleep, but my heart is awake; It is the voice of my beloved! He knocks, saying, "Open for me, my sister, my love, My dove, my perfect one; For my head is covered with dew, My locks with the drops of the night."

nkjv@Songs:5:3 @ I have taken off my robe; How can I put it on again? I have washed my feet; How can I defile them?

nkjv@Songs:5:4 @ My beloved put his hand By the latch of the door, And my heart yearned for him.

nkjv@Songs:5:5 @ I arose to open for my beloved, And my hands dripped with myrrh, My fingers with liquid myrrh, On the handles of the lock.

nkjv@Songs:5:7 @ The watchmen who went about the city found me. They struck me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls Took my veil away from me.

nkjv@Songs:5:9 @ What is your beloved More than another beloved, O fairest among women? What is your beloved More than another beloved, That you so charge us?

nkjv@Songs:5:11 @ His head is like the finest gold; His locks are wavy, And black as a raven.

nkjv@Songs:5:12 @ His eyes are like doves By the rivers of waters, Washed with milk, And fitly set.

nkjv@Songs:5:15 @ His legs are pillars of marble Set on bases of fine gold. His countenance is like Lebanon, Excellent as the cedars.

nkjv@Songs:5:16 @ His mouth is most sweet, Yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, And this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem!

nkjv@Songs:6:2 @ My beloved has gone to his garden, To the beds of spices, To feed his flock in the gardens, And to gather lilies.

nkjv@Songs:6:3 @ I am my beloved's, And my beloved is mine. He feeds his flock among the lilies.

nkjv@Songs:6:5 @ Turn your eyes away from me, For they have overcome me. Your hair is like a flock of goats Going down from Gilead.

nkjv@Songs:6:6 @ Your teeth are like a flock of sheep Which have come up from the washing; Every one bears twins, And none is barren among them.

nkjv@Songs:6:8 @ There are sixty queens And eighty concubines, And virgins without number.

nkjv@Songs:6:9 @ My dove, my perfect one, Is the only one, The only one of her mother, The favorite of the one who bore her. The daughters saw her And called her blessed, The queens and the concubines, And they praised her.

nkjv@Songs:6:10 @ Who is she who looks forth as the morning, Fair as the moon, Clear as the sun, Awesome as an army with banners?

nkjv@Songs:6:11 @ I went down to the garden of nuts To see the verdure of the valley, To see whether the vine had budded And the pomegranates had bloomed.

nkjv@Songs:6:12 @ Before I was even aware, My soul had made me As the chariots of my noble people.

nkjv@Songs:6:13 @ Return, return, O Shulamite; Return, return, that we may look upon you! What would you see in the Shulamite-- As it were, the dance of the two camps?

nkjv@Songs:7:1 @ How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! The curves of your thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skillful workman.

nkjv@Songs:7:4 @ Your neck is like an ivory tower, Your eyes like the pools in Heshbon By the gate of Bath Rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looks toward Damascus.

nkjv@Songs:7:5 @ Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel, And the hair of your head is like purple; A king is held captive by your tresses.

nkjv@Songs:7:8 @ I said, "I will go up to the palm tree, I will take hold of its branches." Let now your breasts be like clusters of the vine, The fragrance of your breath like apples,

nkjv@Songs:7:9 @ And the roof of your mouth like the best wine. The wine goes down smoothly for my beloved, Moving gently the lips of sleepers.

nkjv@Songs:7:11 @ Come, my beloved, Let us go forth to the field; Let us lodge in the villages.

nkjv@Songs:7:12 @ Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see if the vine has budded, Whether the grape blossoms are open, And the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love.

nkjv@Songs:7:13 @ The mandrakes give off a fragrance, And at our gates are pleasant fruits, All manner, new and old, Which I have laid up for you, my beloved.

nkjv@Songs:8:1 @ Oh, that you were like my brother, Who nursed at my mother's breasts! If I should find you outside, I would kiss you; I would not be despised.

nkjv@Songs:8:2 @ I would lead you and bring you Into the house of my mother, She who used to instruct me. I would cause you to drink of spiced wine, Of the juice of my pomegranate.

nkjv@Songs:8:5 @ Who is this coming up from the wilderness, Leaning upon her beloved? I awakened you under the apple tree. There your mother brought you forth; There she who bore you brought you forth.

nkjv@Songs:8:6 @ Set me as a seal upon your heart, As a seal upon your arm; For love is as strong as death, Jealousy as cruel as the grave; Its flames are flames of fire, A most vehement flame.

nkjv@Songs:8:7 @ Many waters cannot quench love, Nor can the floods drown it. If a man would give for love All the wealth of his house, It would be utterly despised.

nkjv@Songs:8:8 @ We have a little sister, And she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister In the day when she is spoken for?

nkjv@Songs:8:10 @ I am a wall, And my breasts like towers; Then I became in his eyes As one who found peace.
