Job:5-8
dourh@Job:5:1 @ Call now if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some of the saints.
dourh@Job:5:2 @ Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one.
dourh@Job:5:3 @ I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately.
dourh@Job:5:4 @ His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them.
dourh@Job:5:5 @ Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches.
dourh@Job:5:6 @ Nothing upon earth is done without a voice cause, and sorrow doth not spring out of the ground.
dourh@Job:5:7 @ Man is born to labour and the bird to fly.
dourh@Job:5:8 @ Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God:
dourh@Job:5:9 @ Who doth great things and unsearchable and wonderful things without number:
dourh@Job:5:10 @ Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all things with waters:
dourh@Job:5:11 @ Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health those that mourn.
dourh@Job:5:12 @ Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:
dourh@Job:5:13 @ Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked:
dourh@Job:5:14 @ They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night.
dourh@Job:5:15 @ But he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.
dourh@Job:5:16 @ And to the needy there shall he hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth.
dourh@Job:5:17 @ Blessed is the mall whom God correcteth: refuse not therefore the chastising of the lord:
dourh@Job:5:18 @ For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal.
dourh@Job:5:19 @ In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch thee.
dourh@Job:5:20 @ In famine he shall deliver thee from death: and in battle, from the hand of the sword.
dourh@Job:5:21 @ Thou shalt he hidden from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.
dourh@Job:5:22 @ In destruction and famine then shalt laugh: and thou shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
dourh@Job:5:23 @ But thou shalt have a covenant with the stones of the lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at pence with thee.
dourh@Job:5:24 @ And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty thou shalt not sin.
dourh@Job:5:25 @ Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth.
dourh@Job:5:26 @ Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season.
dourh@Job:5:27 @ Behold, this is even so, as we have searched oat: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind.
dourh@Job:6:1 @ But Job answered, and said:
dourh@Job:6:2 @ O that my sins, whereby I have deserved wrath, and the calamity that I suffer, were weighed in a balance.
dourh@Job:6:3 @ As the sand of the sea this would appear heavier: therefore my words are full of sorrow:
dourh@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Lord are in me, the rage whereof drinketh up my spirit, and the terrors of the Lord war against me.
dourh@Job:6:5 @ Will the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or will the ox low when he standeth before a full manger?
dourh@Job:6:6 @ Or can an unsavoury thing be eaten, that is not seasoned with salt? or can a man taste that which when tasted bringeth death?
dourh@Job:6:7 @ The things which before my soul would not touch, now, through anguish are my meats.
dourh@Job:6:8 @ Who will grant that my request may come: and that God may give me what I look for?
dourh@Job:6:9 @ And that he that hath begun may destroy me, that he may let loose his hand, and cut me off?
dourh@Job:6:10 @ And that this may be my comfort, that afflicting me with sorrow, he spare not, nor I contradict the words of the Holy One.
dourh@Job:6:11 @ For what is my strength, that I can hold out? or what is my end that I should keep patience?
dourh@Job:6:12 @ My strength is not the strength of stones, nor is my flesh of brass.
dourh@Job:6:13 @ Behold there is no help for me in myself, and my familiar friends also are departed from me.
dourh@Job:6:14 @ He that taketh away mercy from his friend, forsaketh the fear of the Lord.
dourh@Job:6:15 @ My brethren have passed by me, as the torrent that passeth swiftly in the valleys.
dourh@Job:6:16 @ They that fear the hoary frost, the snow shall fall upon them.
dourh@Job:6:17 @ At the time when they shall be scattered they shall perish: and after it groweth hot they shall be melted out of their place.
dourh@Job:6:18 @ The paths of their steps are entangled: they shall walk in vain, and shall perish.
dourh@Job:6:19 @ Consider the paths of Thema, the ways of Saba, and wait a little while.
dourh@Job:6:20 @ They are confounded, because I have hoped: they are come also even unto me, and are covered with shame.
dourh@Job:6:21 @ Now you are come: and now seeing my affliction you are afraid.
dourh@Job:6:22 @ Did I say: Bring to me, and give me of your substance?
dourh@Job:6:23 @ Or deliver me from the hand of the enemy, and rescue me out of the hand of the mighty?
dourh@Job:6:24 @ Teach me, and I will hold my peace: and if I have been ignorant in any thing, instruct me.
dourh@Job:6:25 @ Why have you detracted the words of truth, whereas there is none of you that can reprove me?
dourh@Job:6:26 @ You dress up speeches only to rebuke, and you utter words to the wind.
dourh@Job:6:27 @ You rush in upon the fatherless, and you endeavour to overthrow your friend.
dourh@Job:6:28 @ However finish what you have begun, give ear, and see whether I lie.
dourh@Job:6:29 @ Answer, I beseech you, without contention: and speaking that which is just, judge ye.
dourh@Job:6:30 @ And you shall not And iniquity in my tongue, neither shall folly sound in my mouth.
dourh@Job:7:1 @ The life of man upon earth is a warfare, and his days are like the days of a hireling.
dourh@Job:7:2 @ As a servant longeth for the shade, as the hireling looketh for the end of his work;
dourh@Job:7:3 @ So I also have had empty months, and have numbered to myself wearisome nights.
dourh@Job:7:4 @ If I lie down to sleep, I shall say: When shall arise? and again I shall look for the evening, and shall be filled with sorrows even till darkness.
dourh@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is clothed with rottenness and the filth of dust, my skin is withered and drawn together.
dourh@Job:7:6 @ My days have passed more swiftly than the web is cut by the weaver, and are consumed without any hope.
dourh@Job:7:7 @ Remember that my life is but wind, and my eyes shall not return to see good things.
dourh@Job:7:8 @ Nor shall the sight of man behold me: thy eyes are upon me, and I shall be no more.
dourh@Job:7:9 @ As a cloud is consumed, and passeth away: so he that shall go down to hell shall not come up.
dourh@Job:7:10 @ Nor shall he return my more into his house, neither shall his place know him any more.
dourh@Job:7:11 @ Wherefore I will not spare my month, I will speak in the affliction of my spirit: I will talk with the bitterness of my soul.
dourh@Job:7:12 @ Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou hast enclosed me in a prison?
dourh@Job:7:13 @ If I say: My bed shall comfort me, and I shall be relieved speaking with myself on my couch:
dourh@Job:7:14 @ Thou wilt frighten me with dreams and terrify me with visions.
dourh@Job:7:15 @ So that my soul rather chooseth hanging, and my bones death.
dourh@Job:7:16 @ I have done with hope, I shall now live no longer: spare me, for my days are nothing.
dourh@Job:7:17 @ What is a man that thou shouldst magnify him? or why dost thou set thy heart upon him?
dourh@Job:7:18 @ Thou visitest him early in the morning, and thou provest him suddenly.
dourh@Job:7:19 @ How long wilt thou not spare me, nor suffer me to swallow down my spittle?
dourh@Job:7:20 @ I have sinned: what shall I do to thee, O keeper of men? why hast thou set me opposite to thee, and I am become burdensome to myself?
dourh@Job:7:21 @ Why dost thou not remove my sin, and why dost thou not take away my iniquity? Behold now I shall sleep in the dust: and if thou seek me in the morning, I shall not be.
dourh@Job:8:1 @ The Baldad the Suhite answered, and said:
dourh@Job:8:2 @ How long wilt thou speak these things, and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?
dourh@Job:8:3 @ Doth God pervert judgment, or doth the Almighty overthrow that which is just?
dourh@Job:8:4 @ Although thy children have sinned against him, and he hath left them in the hand of their iniquity:
dourh@Job:8:5 @ Yet if thou wilt arise early to God, and wilt beseech the Almighty:
dourh@Job:8:6 @ If thou wilt walk clean and upright, he will presently awake onto thee, and will make the dwelling of thy justice peaceable:
dourh@Job:8:7 @ Insomuch, that if thy former things were small, thy latter things would be multiplied exceedingly.
dourh@Job:8:8 @ For inquire of the former generation, and search diligently into the memory of the fathers:
dourh@Job:8:9 @ (For we are but of yesterday, and are ignorant that our days upon earth are but a shadow:)
dourh@Job:8:10 @ And they shall teach thee: they shall speak to thee, and utter words out of their hearts.
dourh@Job:8:11 @ Can the rush be green without moisture? or a sedge-bush grow without water?
dourh@Job:8:12 @ When it is yet in flower, and is not plucked up with the hand, it withereth before all herbs.
dourh@Job:8:13 @ Even so are the ways of all that forget God, and the hope of the hypocrite shall perish:
dourh@Job:8:14 @ His folly shall not please him, and his trust shall be like the spider's web.
dourh@Job:8:15 @ He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand: he shall prop it up, and it shall not rise:
dourh@Job:8:16 @ He seemeth to have moisture before the sun cometh, and at his rising his blossom shall shoot forth.
dourh@Job:8:17 @ His roots shall be thick upon a heap of stones, and among the stones he shall abide.
dourh@Job:8:18 @ If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and shall say: I know thee not.
dourh@Job:8:19 @ For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out of the earth.
dourh@Job:8:20 @ God will not cast away the simple, nor reach out his hand to the evildoer:
dourh@Job:8:21 @ Until thy mouth be filled with laughter, and thy lips with rejoicing.
dourh@Job:8:22 @ They that hate thee, shall be clothed with confusion: and the dwelling of the wicked shall not stand.
dourh@Job:9:1 @ And Job answered, and said:
