Job:12-14
wbs@Job:12:1 @ And Job answered and said,
wbs@Job:12:2 @ No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.
wbs@Job:12:3 @ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yes, who knoweth not such things as these?
wbs@Job:12:4 @ I am as one mocked by his neighbor, who calleth upon God, and he answereth him: the just upright man is derided.
wbs@Job:12:5 @ He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
wbs@Job:12:6 @ The tabernacles of robbers prosper, and they that provoke God are secure; into whose hand God bringeth abundantly.
wbs@Job:12:7 @ But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:
wbs@Job:12:8 @ Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee: and the fishes of the sea shall declare to thee.
wbs@Job:12:9 @ Who knoweth not in all these that the hand of the LORD hath wrought this?
wbs@Job:12:10 @ In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the breath of all mankind.
wbs@Job:12:11 @ Doth not the ear try words? and the mouth taste its food?
wbs@Job:12:12 @ With the ancient is wisdom; and in length of days understanding.
wbs@Job:12:13 @ With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.
wbs@Job:12:14 @ Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.
wbs@Job:12:15 @ Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.
wbs@Job:12:16 @ With him is strength and wisdom: the deceived and the deceiver are his.
wbs@Job:12:17 @ He leadeth counselors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools.
wbs@Job:12:18 @ He looseth the bond of kings, and girdeth their loins with a girdle.
wbs@Job:12:19 @ He leadeth princes away spoiled, and overthroweth the mighty.
wbs@Job:12:20 @ He removeth away the speech of the trusty, and taketh away the understanding of the aged.
wbs@Job:12:21 @ He poureth contempt upon princes, and weakeneth the strength of the mighty.
wbs@Job:12:22 @ He revealeth deep things out of darkness, and bringeth to light the shades of death.
wbs@Job:12:23 @ He increaseth nations, and destroyeth them: he enlargeth nations, and straiteneth them again.
wbs@Job:12:24 @ He taketh away the heart of the chief of the people of the earth, and causeth them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
wbs@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light, and he maketh them to stagger like a drunken man.
wbs@Job:13:1 @ Lo, my eye hath seen all this, my ear hath heard and understood it.
wbs@Job:13:2 @ What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior to you.
wbs@Job:13:3 @ Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
wbs@Job:13:4 @ But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
wbs@Job:13:5 @ O that ye would altogether hold your peace and it would be your wisdom.
wbs@Job:13:6 @ Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
wbs@Job:13:7 @ Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
wbs@Job:13:8 @ Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
wbs@Job:13:9 @ Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
wbs@Job:13:10 @ He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
wbs@Job:13:11 @ Shall not his excellence make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
wbs@Job:13:12 @ Your remembrances are like to ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
wbs@Job:13:13 @ Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
wbs@Job:13:14 @ Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?
wbs@Job:13:15 @ Though he shall slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain my own ways before him.
wbs@Job:13:16 @ He also shall be my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
wbs@Job:13:17 @ Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
wbs@Job:13:18 @ Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
wbs@Job:13:19 @ Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall expire.
wbs@Job:13:20 @ Only do not two things to me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
wbs@Job:13:21 @ Withdraw thy hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
wbs@Job:13:22 @ Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
wbs@Job:13:23 @ How many are my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
wbs@Job:13:24 @ Why hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thy enemy?
wbs@Job:13:25 @ Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
wbs@Job:13:26 @ For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
wbs@Job:13:27 @ Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly to all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
wbs@Job:13:28 @ And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth-eaten.
wbs@Job:14:1 @ Man that is born of a woman is of few days, and full of trouble.
wbs@Job:14:2 @ He cometh forth like a flower, and is cut down: he fleeth also as a shadow, and continueth not.
wbs@Job:14:3 @ And dost thou open thy eyes upon such one, and bring me into judgment with thee?
wbs@Job:14:4 @ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
wbs@Job:14:5 @ Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
wbs@Job:14:6 @ Turn from him, that he may rest, till he shall accomplish, as a hireling, his day.
wbs@Job:14:7 @ For there is hope of a tree, if it is cut down, that it will sprout again, and that its tender branch will not cease.
wbs@Job:14:8 @ Though its root shall become old in the earth, and its stock die in the ground;
wbs@Job:14:9 @ Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and bring forth boughs like a plant.
wbs@Job:14:10 @ But man dieth, and wasteth away: yes, man yieldeth his breath, and where is he?
wbs@Job:14:11 @ As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:
wbs@Job:14:12 @ So man lieth down, and riseth not: till the heavens shall be no more, they shall not awake, nor be raised out of their sleep.
wbs@Job:14:13 @ O that thou wouldst hide me in the grave, that thou wouldst keep me secret, until thy wrath is past, that thou wouldst appoint me a set time, and remember me!
wbs@Job:14:14 @ If a man dieth, shall he live again? all the days of my appointed time will I wait, till my change shall come.
wbs@Job:14:15 @ Thou shalt call, and I will answer thee: thou wilt have a desire to the work of thy hands.
wbs@Job:14:16 @ For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?
wbs@Job:14:17 @ My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up my iniquity.
wbs@Job:14:18 @ And surely the mountain falling cometh to naught, and the rock is removed out of its place.
wbs@Job:14:19 @ The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.
wbs@Job:14:20 @ Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passeth: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
wbs@Job:14:21 @ His sons come to honor, and he knoweth it not; and they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them.
wbs@Job:14:22 @ But his flesh upon him shall have pain, and his soul within him shall mourn.
wbs@Job:15:1 @ Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
