kjv - Job:18-20

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

kjv@Job:18:2 @ How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.

kjv@Job:18:3 @ Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?

kjv@Job:18:4 @ He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?

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

kjv@Job:18:6 @ The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

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

kjv@Job:18:8 @ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

kjv@Job:18:9 @ The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.

kjv@Job:18:10 @ The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

kjv@Job:18:11 @ Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.

kjv@Job:18:12 @ His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.

kjv@Job:18:13 @ It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.

kjv@Job:18:14 @ His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.

kjv@Job:18:15 @ It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

kjv@Job:18:16 @ His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.

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

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

kjv@Job:18:19 @ He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.

kjv@Job:18:20 @ They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.

kjv@Job:18:21 @ Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

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

kjv@Job:19:2 @ How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?

kjv@Job:19:3 @ These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.

kjv@Job:19:4 @ And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.

kjv@Job:19:5 @ If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:

kjv@Job:19:6 @ Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.

kjv@Job:19:7 @ Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.

kjv@Job:19:8 @ He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

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

kjv@Job:19:10 @ He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.

kjv@Job:19:11 @ He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.

kjv@Job:19:12 @ His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.

kjv@Job:19:13 @ He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.

kjv@Job:19:14 @ My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.

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

kjv@Job:19:16 @ I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.

kjv@Job:19:17 @ My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's sake of mine own body.

kjv@Job:19:18 @ Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.

kjv@Job:19:19 @ All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.

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

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

kjv@Job:19:22 @ Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?

kjv@Job:19:23 @ Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

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

kjv@Job:19:25 @ For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:

kjv@Job:19:26 @ And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

kjv@Job:19:27 @ Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

kjv@Job:19:28 @ But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?

kjv@Job:19:29 @ Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.

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

kjv@Job:20:2 @ Therefore do my thoughts cause me to answer, and for this I make haste.

kjv@Job:20:3 @ I have heard the check of my reproach, and the spirit of my understanding causeth me to answer.

kjv@Job:20:4 @ Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed upon earth,

kjv@Job:20:5 @ That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?

kjv@Job:20:6 @ Though his excellency mount up to the heavens, and his head reach unto the clouds;

kjv@Job:20:7 @ Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

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

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

kjv@Job:20:10 @ His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

kjv@Job:20:11 @ His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

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

kjv@Job:20:13 @ Though he spare it, and forsake it not; but keep it still within his mouth:

kjv@Job:20:14 @ Yet his meat in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of asps within him.

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

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

kjv@Job:20:17 @ He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

kjv@Job:20:18 @ That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be, and he shall not rejoice therein.

kjv@Job:20:19 @ Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;

kjv@Job:20:20 @ Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall not save of that which he desired.

kjv@Job:20:21 @ There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man look for his goods.

kjv@Job:20:22 @ In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits: every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.

kjv@Job:20:23 @ When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

kjv@Job:20:24 @ He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel shall strike him through.

kjv@Job:20:25 @ It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.

kjv@Job:20:26 @ All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.

kjv@Job:20:27 @ The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

kjv@Job:20:28 @ The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.

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

kjv@Job:21:1 @ But Job answered and said,
