And whose spirit came forth from thee ? asv @Job:26:5 @They that are deceased tremble Beneath the waters and the inhabitants thereof . asv @Job:26:6 @Sheol is naked before God , And Abaddon hath no covering . asv @Job:26:7 @He stretcheth out the north over empty space , And hangeth the earth upon nothing . asv @Job:26:8 @He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds ; And the cloud is not rent under them . asv @Job:26:9 @He incloseth the face of his throne , And spreadeth his cloud upon it . asv @Job:26:10 @He hath described a boundary upon the face of the waters , Unto the confines of light and darkness . asv @Job:26:11 @The pillars of heaven tremble And are astonished at his rebuke . asv @Job:26:12 @He stirreth up the sea with his power , And by his understanding he smiteth through Rahab . asv @Job:26:13 @By his Spirit the heavens are garnished ; His hand hath pierced the swift serpent . asv @Job:26:14 @Lo , these are but the outskirts of his ways : And how small a whisper do we hear of him ! But the thunder of his power who can understand ? asv @Job:27:1 @And Job again took up his parable , and said , asv @Job:27:2 @As God liveth , who hath taken away my right , And the Almighty , who hath vexed my soul : asv @Job:27:3 @(For my life is yet whole in me , And the spirit of God is in my nostrils ); asv @Job:27:4 @Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness , Neither shall my tongue utter deceit . asv @Job:27:5 @Far be it from me that I should justify you : Till I die I will not put away mine integrity from me . asv @Job:27:6 @My righteousness I hold fast , and will not let it go : My heart shall not reproach me so long as I live . asv @Job:27:7 @Let mine enemy be as the wicked , And let him that riseth up against me be as the unrighteous . asv @Job:27:8 @For what is the hope of the godless , though he get him gain , When God taketh away his soul ? asv @Job:27:9 @Will God hear his cry , When trouble cometh upon him ? asv @Job:27:10 @Will he delight himself in the Almighty , And call upon God at all times ? asv @Job:27:11 @I will teach you concerning the hand of God ; That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal . asv @Job:27:12 @Behold , all ye yourselves have seen it ; Why then are ye become altogether vain ? asv @Job:27:13 @This is the portion of a wicked man with God , And the heritage of oppressors , which they receive from the Almighty : asv @Job:27:14 @If his children be multiplied , it is for the sword ; And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread . asv @Job:27:15 @Those that remain of him shall be buried in death , And his widows shall make no lamentation . asv @Job:27:16 @Though he heap up silver as the dust , And prepare raiment as the clay ; asv @Job:27:17 @He may prepare it , but the just shall put it on , And the innocent shall divide the silver . asv @Job:27:18 @He buildeth his house as the moth , And as a booth which the keeper maketh . asv @Job:27:19 @He lieth down rich , but he shall not be gathered to his fathers ; He openeth his eyes , and he is not . asv @Job:27:20 @Terrors overtake him like waters ; A tempest stealeth him away in the night . asv @Job:27:21 @The east wind carrieth him away , and he departeth ; And it sweepeth him out of his place . asv @Job:27:22 @For God shall hurl at him , and not spare : He would fain flee out of his hand . asv @Job:27:23 @Men shall clap their hands at him , And shall hiss him out of his place . asv @Job:28:1 @Surely there is a mine for silver , And a place for gold which they refine . asv @Job:28:2 @Iron is taken out of the earth , And copper is molten out of the stone . asv @Job:28:3 @Man setteth an end to darkness , And searcheth out , to the furthest bound , The stones of obscurity and of thick darkness . asv @Job:28:4 @He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn ; They are forgotten of the foot ; They hang afar from men , they swing to and fro . asv @Job:28:5 @As for the earth , out of it cometh bread ; And underneath it is turned up as it were by fire . asv @Job:28:6 @The stones thereof are the place of sapphires , And it hath dust of gold . asv @Job:28:7 @That path no bird of prey knoweth , Neither hath the falcon 's eye seen it : asv @Job:28:8 @The proud beasts have not trodden it , Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby . asv @Job:28:9 @He putteth forth his hand upon the flinty rock ; He overturneth the mountains by the roots . asv @Job:28:10 @He cutteth out channels among the rocks ; And his eye seeth every precious thing . asv @Job:28:11 @He bindeth the streams that they trickle not ; And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light . asv @Job:28:12 @But where shall wisdom be found ? And where is the place of understanding ? asv @Job:28:13 @Man knoweth not the price thereof ; Neither is it found in the land of the living . asv @Job:28:14 @The deep saith , It is not in me ; And the sea saith , It is not with me . asv @Job:28:15 @It cannot be gotten for gold , Neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof . asv @Job:28:16 @It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir , With the precious onyx , or the sapphire . asv @Job:28:17 @Gold and glass cannot equal it , Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels of fine gold . asv @Job:28:18 @No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal : Yea , the price of wisdom is above rubies . asv @Job:28:19 @The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it , Neither shall it be valued with pure gold . asv @Job:28:20 @Whence then cometh wisdom ? And where is the place of understanding ? asv @Job:28:21 @Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living , And kept close from the birds of the heavens . asv @Job:28:22 @Destruction and Death say , We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears . asv @Job:28:23 @God understandeth the way thereof , And he knoweth the place thereof . asv @Job:28:24 @For he looketh to the ends of the earth , And seeth under the whole heaven ; asv @Job:28:25 @To make a weight for the wind : Yea , he meteth out the waters by measure . asv @Job:28:26 @When he made a decree for the rain , And a way for the lightning of the thunder ; asv @Job:28:27 @Then did he see it , and declare it ; He established it , yea , and searched it out . asv @Job:28:28 @And unto man he said , Behold , the fear of the Lord , that is wisdom ; And to depart from evil is understanding . asv @Job:29:1 @And Job again took up his parable , and said , asv @Job:29:2 @Oh that I were as in the months of old , As in the days when God watched over me ; asv @Job:29:3 @When his lamp shined upon my head , And by his light I walked through darkness ; asv @Job:29:4 @As I was in the ripeness of my days , When the friendship of God was upon my tent ; asv @Job:29:5 @When the Almighty was yet with me , And my children were about me ; asv @Job:29:6 @When my steps were washed with butter , And the rock poured me out streams of oil ! asv @Job:29:7 @When I went forth to the gate unto the city , When I prepared my seat in the street , asv @Job:29:8 @The young men saw me and hid themselves , And the aged rose up and stood ; asv @Job:29:9 @The princes refrained from talking , And laid their hand on their mouth ; asv @Job:29:10 @The voice of the nobles was hushed , And their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth . asv @Job:29:11 @For when the ear heard me , then it blessed me ; And when the eye saw me , it gave witness unto me : asv @Job:29:12 @Because I delivered the poor that cried , The fatherless also , that had none to help him . asv @Job:29:13 @The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me ; And I caused the widow 's heart to sing for joy . asv @Job:29:14 @I put on righteousness , and it clothed me : My justice was as a robe and a diadem . asv @Job:29:15 @I was eyes to the blind , And feet was I to the lame . asv @Job:29:16 @I was a father to the needy : And the cause of him that I knew not I searched out . asv @Job:29:17 @And I brake the jaws of the unrighteous , And plucked the prey out of his teeth . asv @Job:29:18 @Then I said , I shall die in my nest , And I shall multiply my days as the sand : asv @Job:29:19 @My root is spread out to the waters , And the dew lieth all night upon my branch ; asv @Job:29:20 @My glory is fresh in me , And my bow is renewed in my hand . asv @Job:29:21 @Unto me men gave ear , and waited , And kept silence for my counsel . asv @Job:29:22 @After my words they spake not again ; And my speech distilled upon them . asv @Job:29:23 @And they waited for me as for the rain ; And they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain . asv @Job:29:24 @I smiled on them , when they had no confidence ; And the light of my countenance they cast not down . asv @Job:29:25 @I chose out their way , and sat as chief , And dwelt as a king in the army , As one that comforteth the mourners . asv @Job:30:1 @But now they that are younger than I have me in derision , Whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock . asv @Job:30:2 @Yea , the strength of their hands , whereto should it profit me ? Men in whom ripe age is perished . asv @Job:30:3 @They are gaunt with want and famine ; They gnaw the dry ground , in the gloom of wasteness and desolation . asv @Job:30:4 @They pluck salt-wort by the bushes ; And the roots of the broom are their food . asv @Job:30:5 @They are driven forth from the midst of men ; They cry after them as after a thief ; asv @Job:30:6 @So that they dwell in frightful valleys , In holes of the earth and of the rocks . asv @Job:30:7 @Among the bushes they bray ; Under the nettles they are gathered together . asv @Job:30:8 @They are children of fools , yea , children of base men ; They were scourged out of the land . asv @Job:30:9 @And now I am become their song , Yea , I am a byword unto them . asv @Job:30:10 @They abhor me , they stand aloof from me , And spare not to spit in my face . asv @Job:30:11 @For he hath loosed his cord , and afflicted me ; And they have cast off the bridle before me . asv @Job:30:12 @Upon my right hand rise the rabble ; They thrust aside my feet , And they cast up against me their ways of destruction . asv @Job:30:13 @They mar my path , They set forward my calamity , Even men that have no helper . asv @Job:30:14 @As through a wide breach they come : In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves upon me . asv @Job:30:15 @Terrors are turned upon me ; They chase mine honor as the wind ; And my welfare is passed away as a cloud . asv @Job:30:16 @And now my soul is poured out within me ; Days of affliction have taken hold upon me . asv @Job:30:17 @In the night season my bones are pierced in me , And the pains that gnaw me take no rest . asv @Job:30:18 @By God 's great force is my garment disfigured ; It bindeth me about as the collar of my coat . asv @Job:30:19 @He hath cast me into the mire , And I am become like dust and ashes . asv @Job:30:20 @I cry unto thee , and thou dost not answer me : I stand up , and thou gazest at me . asv @Job:30:21 @Thou art turned to be cruel to me ; With the might of thy hand thou persecutest me . asv @Job:30:22 @Thou liftest me up to the wind , thou causest me to ride upon it ; And thou dissolvest me in the storm . asv @Job:30:23 @For I know that thou wilt bring me to death , And to the house appointed for all living . asv @Job:30:24 @Howbeit doth not one stretch out the hand in his fall ? Or in his calamity therefore cry for help ? asv @Job:30:25 @Did not I weep for him that was in trouble ? Was not my soul grieved for the needy ? asv @Job:30:26 @When I looked for good , then evil came ; And when I waited for light , there came darkness . asv @Job:30:27 @My heart is troubled , and resteth not ; Days of affliction are come upon me . asv @Job:30:28 @I go mourning without the sun : I stand up in the assembly , and cry for help . asv @Job:30:29 @I am a brother to jackals , And a companion to ostriches . asv @Job:30:30 @My skin is black , and falleth from me , And my bones are burned with heat . asv @Job:30:31 @Therefore is my harp turned to mourning , And my pipe into the voice of them that weep . asv @Job:31:1 @I made a covenant with mine eyes ; How then should I look upon a virgin ? asv @Job:31:2 @For what is the portion from God above , And the heritage from the Almighty on high ? asv @Job:31:3 @Is it not calamity to the unrighteous , And disaster to the workers of iniquity ? asv @Job:31:4 @Doth not he see my ways , And number all my steps ? asv @Job:31:5 @If I have walked with falsehood , And my foot hath hasted to deceit ; asv @Job:31:6 @(Let me be weighed in an even balance , That God may know mine integrity ); asv @Job:31:7 @If my step hath turned out of the way , And my heart walked after mine eyes , And if any spot hath cleaved to my hands : asv @Job:31:8 @Then let me sow , and let another eat ; Yea , let the produce of my field be rooted out . asv @Job:31:9 @If my heart hath been enticed unto a woman , And I have laid wait at my neighbor 's door ; asv @Job:31:10 @Then let my wife grind unto another , And let others bow down upon her . asv @Job:31:11 @For that were a heinous crime ; Yea , it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges : asv @Job:31:12 @For it is a fire that consumeth unto Destruction , And would root out all mine increase . asv @Job:31:13 @If I have despised the cause of my man-servant or of my maid-servant , When they contended with me ; asv @Job:31:14 @What then shall I do when God riseth up ? And when he visiteth , what shall I answer him ? asv @Job:31:15 @Did not he that made me in the womb make him ? And did not one fashion us in the womb ? asv @Job:31:16 @If I have withheld the poor from their desire , Or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail , asv @Job:31:17 @Or have eaten my morsel alone , And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof ; asv @Job:31:18 @(Nay , from my youth he grew up with me as with a father , And her have I guided from my mother 's womb ); asv @Job:31:19 @If I have seen any perish for want of clothing , Or that the needy had no covering ; asv @Job:31:20 @If his loins have not blessed me , And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep ; asv @Job:31:21 @If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless , Because I saw my help in the gate : asv @Job:31:22 @Then let my shoulder fall from the shoulder-blade , And mine arm be broken from the bone . asv @Job:31:23 @For calamity from God is a terror to me , And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing . asv @Job:31:24 @If I have made gold my hope , And have said to the fine gold , Thou art my confidence ; asv @Job:31:25 @If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great , And because my hand had gotten much ; asv @Job:31:26 @If I have beheld the sun when it shined , Or the moon walking in brightness , asv @Job:31:27 @And my heart hath been secretly enticed , And my mouth hath kissed my hand : asv @Job:31:28 @This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judges ; For I should have denied the God that is above . asv @Job:31:29 @If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me , Or lifted up myself when evil found him ; asv @Job:31:30 @(Yea , I have not suffered by mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse ); asv @Job:31:31 @If the men of my tent have not said , Who can find one that hath not been filled with his meat ? asv @Job:31:32 @(The sojourner hath not lodged in the street ; But I have opened my doors to the traveller ); asv @Job:31:33 @If like Adam I have covered my transgressions , By hiding mine iniquity in my bosom , asv @Job:31:34 @Because I feared the great multitude , And the contempt of families terrified me , So that I kept silence , and went not out of the door - asv @Job:31:35 @Oh that I had one to hear me ! (Lo , here is my signature , let the Almighty answer me ); And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written ! asv @Job:31:36 @Surely I would carry it upon my shoulder ; I would bind it unto me as a crown : asv @Job:31:37 @I would declare unto him the number of my steps ; As a prince would I go near unto him . asv @Job:31:38 @If my land crieth out against me , And the furrows thereof weep together ; asv @Job:31:39 @If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money , Or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life : asv @Job:31:40 @Let thistles grow instead of wheat , And cockle instead of barley . The words of Job are ended . asv @Job:32:1 @So these three men ceased to answer Job , because he was righteous in his own eyes .
