rotherham@Job:8:1 @ Then responded Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
rotherham@Job:8:2 @ How long wilt thou speak these things? Or, as a mighty wind, shall be the sayings of thy mouth?
rotherham@Job:8:3 @ Should, GOD, pervert justice? Or, the Almighty, pervert righteousness?
rotherham@Job:8:4 @ Though, thy children, sinned against him, and he delivered them into the hand of their transgression,
rotherham@Job:8:5 @ Yet, if, thou thyself, wilt diligently seek unto GOD, and, unto the Almighty, wilt make supplication;
rotherham@Job:8:6 @ If, pure and upright, thou thyself, art, surely, now, will he answer thy prayer, and will prosper thy righteous habitation:
rotherham@Job:8:7 @ So shall thy beginning appear small, when, thy latter end, he shall greatly increase!
rotherham@Job:8:8 @ For inquire, I pray thee, of a former generation, and prepare thyself for the research of their fathers;
rotherham@Job:8:9 @ For, of yesterday, are, we, and cannot know, for, a shadow, are our days upon earth:
rotherham@Job:8:10 @ Shall, they, not teach theetell thee, and, out of their memory, bring forth words?
rotherham@Job:8:11 @ Can the paper-reed grow up, without a marsh? Or the rush grow up, without water?
rotherham@Job:8:12 @ Though while still, in its freshness, it be not plucked off, yet, before any kind of grass, it doth wither:
rotherham@Job:8:13 @ So, shall be the latter end of all who forget GOD, and, the hope of the impious, shall perish:
rotherham@Job:8:14 @ Whose trust shall be contemptible, and, a spiders web, his confidence:
rotherham@Job:8:15 @ He leaneth upon his house, and it will not stand, he holdeth it fast, and it will not remain erect.
rotherham@Job:8:16 @ Full of moisture he is, before the sun, and, over his garden, his shoot goeth forth:
rotherham@Job:8:17 @ Over a heap, his roots are entwined, a place of stones, he descrieth;
rotherham@Job:8:18 @ If one destroy him out of his place, then will it disown him I have not seen thee.
rotherham@Job:8:19 @ Lo! that, is the joy of his way, and, out of the dust, shall others spring up.
rotherham@Job:8:20 @ Lo! GOD, will not reject a blameless man, neither will he grasp the hand of evil-doers:
rotherham@Job:8:21 @ At length he shall fill with laughter thy mouth, and thy lips, with a shout of triumph:
rotherham@Job:8:22 @ They who hate thee, shall be clothed with shame, but, the tent of the lawless, shall not be!
rotherham@Job:9:1 @ Then responded Job, and said
rotherham@Job:9:2 @ Of a truth, I know that so it is, But how can a mortal be just with GOD?
rotherham@Job:9:3 @ If he choose to contend with him, he cannot answer him, one of a thousand:
rotherham@Job:9:4 @ Wise in heart, and alert in vigour, What man hath hardened himself against him, and prospered!
rotherham@Job:9:5 @ Who removeth mountains, unawares, Who overturneth them in his anger;
rotherham@Job:9:6 @ Who shaketh the earth, out of its place, and, the pillars thereof, shudder;
rotherham@Job:9:7 @ Who commandeth the sun, and it breaketh not forth, and, about the stars, he putteth a seal;
rotherham@Job:9:8 @ Who spreadeth out fire heavens, by himself alone! and marcheth along, on the heights of the sea;
rotherham@Job:9:9 @ Who made the Bear, the Giant and the Cluster, and the chambers of the south;
rotherham@Job:9:10 @ Who doeth great things, past finding out, and marvels, beyond number.
rotherham@Job:9:11 @ Lo! he cometh upon me, yet can I not see him, Yea he passeth on, yet can I not discern him.
rotherham@Job:9:12 @ Lo! he snatcheth away, who can bring it back? Who shall say unto him, What wouldst thou do?
rotherham@Job:9:13 @ As for GOD, if he withdraw not his anger, under him, will have submitted themselvesthe proud helpers.
rotherham@Job:9:14 @ How much less that, I, should answer him, should choose my words with him?
rotherham@Job:9:15 @ Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, to be absolved, I would make supplication.
rotherham@Job:9:16 @ Though I had called, and he had answered me, I could not believe, that he would lend an ear to my voice.
rotherham@Job:9:17 @ For, with a tempest, would he fall upon me, and would multiply my wounds without need;
rotherham@Job:9:18 @ He would not suffer me to recover my breath, for he would surfeit me with bitter things.
rotherham@Job:9:19 @ If it regardeth vigour, bold is he! If justice, who could summon him?
rotherham@Job:9:20 @ If I should justify myself, mine own mouth, would condemn me, I blameless? then had it shewn me perverse.
rotherham@Job:9:21 @ I blameless? I should not know my own soul, I should despise my own life!
rotherham@Job:9:22 @ One thing, there is, for which cause, I have said it, The blameless and the lawless, he bringeth to an end.
rotherham@Job:9:23 @ If, a scourge, slay suddenly, at the despair of innocent ones, he mocketh.
rotherham@Job:9:24 @ The earth, hath been given into the hand of a lawless one, The faces of her judges, he covereth, If not, then who is it?
rotherham@Job:9:25 @ My days, therefore, are swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have seen no good.
rotherham@Job:9:26 @ They have passed away with boats of paper-reed, like a vulture rusheth upon food.
rotherham@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will lay aside my sad countenance, and brighten up,
rotherham@Job:9:28 @ I am afraid of all my pains, I know, that thou wilt not pronounce me innocent.
rotherham@Job:9:29 @ I, shall be held guilty, Wherefore then, in vain, should I toil?
rotherham@Job:9:30 @ Though I bathe myself in snow water, and cleanse, in cleanness itself, my hands,
rotherham@Job:9:31 @ Then, in a ditch, wouldst thou plunge me, and mine own clothes should abhor me:
rotherham@Job:9:32 @ For he is not a man like myself, whom I might answer, nor could we come together into judgment:
rotherham@Job:9:33 @ There is not, between us, a mediator, who might lay his hand upon us both.
rotherham@Job:9:34 @ Let him take from off me his rod, and, his terror, let it not startle me:
rotherham@Job:9:35 @ I could speak, and not be afraid of him, although, not so, am, I, in myself!
rotherham@Job:10:1 @ My soul doth loathe my life, I let loose my complaint, I speak, in the bitterness of my soul.
rotherham@Job:10:2 @ I say unto GOD, Do not hold me guilty, Let me know, on what account thou contendest with me!
rotherham@Job:10:3 @ Is it seemly in thee, that thou shouldst oppress? that thou shouldst despise the labour of thine own hand, when, upon the counsel of the lawless, thou hast shone?
rotherham@Job:10:4 @ Eyes of flesh, hast thou? or, as a mortal seeth, seest thou?
rotherham@Job:10:5 @ As the days of a mortal, are thy days? or, thy years, as the days of a man?
rotherham@Job:10:6 @ That thou shouldst seek for mine iniquity, and, for my sin, shouldst make search:
rotherham@Job:10:7 @ Though it is, within thine own knowledge, that I would not be lawless, and, none, out of thy hand, can deliver?
rotherham@Job:10:8 @ Thine own hands, shaped me, and made me, all in unison round about, and yet thou hast confounded me.
rotherham@Job:10:9 @ Remember, I pray thee, that, as clay, thou didst make me, and, unto dust, thou wilt cause me to return.
rotherham@Job:10:10 @ Didst thou not, like milk, pour me forth? and, as cheese, curdle me?
rotherham@Job:10:11 @ With skin and flesh, clothe me? and, with bones and sinews, interweave me?
rotherham@Job:10:12 @ Life and lovingkindness, thou didst bestow upon me, and, thy watchful care, preserved my breath.
rotherham@Job:10:13 @ Yet, these things, thou didst hide in thy heart, I know that, this, hath been with thee!
rotherham@Job:10:14 @ If I have sinned, then couldst thou watch me, and, from mine iniquity, thou wouldst not acquit me:
rotherham@Job:10:15 @ If I have been lawless, alas for me! Or, if I am righteous, I will not lift up my head, Surfeited with shame, look thou then on my humiliation.
rotherham@Job:10:16 @ When it is lifted up, like a howling lion, thou dost hunt me, Then again thou dost shew thyself marvellous against me.
rotherham@Job:10:17 @ Thou renewest thy witnesses before me, and dost increase thy vexation with me, Relaysyea an army, is with me.
rotherham@Job:10:18 @ Wherefore then, from the womb, didst thou bring me forth? I might have breathed my last, and, no eye, have seen me.
rotherham@Job:10:19 @ As though I had not been, should I have become, from the womb to the grave, might I have been borne.
rotherham@Job:10:20 @ Are not my days, few?then forbear, and set me aside, that I may brighten up for a little;
rotherham@Job:10:21 @ Before I go, and not return, unto a land of darkness and death-shade:
rotherham@Job:10:22 @ A land of obscurity, like thick darkness, of death-shade and disorder, and which shineth like thick darkness.
rotherham@Job:11:1 @ Then responded Zophar the Naamathite, and said:
rotherham@Job:11:2 @ Should, the multitude of words, not be answered? Or should, a man full of talk, be justified?
rotherham@Job:11:3 @ Shall, thy pratings, cause men to hold their peace? When thou hast mocked, shall there be none to put thee to shame?
rotherham@Job:11:4 @ Since thou hast said, Right is my doctrine, and pure am I in his eyes.
rotherham@Job:11:5 @ But, in very deed, oh that GOD would speak, that he would open his lips with thee:
rotherham@Job:11:6 @ That he would declare to thee the secrets of wisdom, for they are double to that which actually is,-Know then that GOD could bring into forgetfulness for thee, a portion of thine iniquity.
rotherham@Job:11:7 @ The hidden depth of GOD canst thou discover? Or, unto the furthest limit of the Almighty, canst thou attain?
rotherham@Job:11:8 @ The heights of the heavens, what canst thou do? Depths deeper than hades, what canst thou know?
rotherham@Job:11:9 @ Longer than the earth, is the measure thereof, and broader than the sea.
rotherham@Job:11:10 @ If he sweep on, or shut up, or call together, Who then shall hinder him?
rotherham@Job:11:11 @ For, he, knoweth men of falsity, and seeth iniquity, and him that doth not diligently consider.
rotherham@Job:11:12 @ But, an empty person, will get sense, when, a wild asss colt, is born a man!
rotherham@Job:11:13 @ If, thou, hast prepared thy heart, and wilt spread forth, unto him, thy hands
rotherham@Job:11:14 @ If, iniquity, be in thy hand, Put it far away, and let there not dwell in thy tents perversity,
rotherham@Job:11:15 @ Surely, then, shalt thou lift up thy face free from blemish, and shalt be established, and not fear.
rotherham@Job:11:16 @ For, now, shalt thou forget, sorrow, Like waters passed away, shalt thou remember it.
rotherham@Job:11:17 @ Above high noon, shall rise lifes continuance, Darkness, like a morning, shall appear,
rotherham@Job:11:18 @ And thou shalt he confident, that there is hope, and, when thou hast searched, securely shalt thou lie down;
rotherham@Job:11:19 @ And shalt rest, with none to put thee in terror, and many shall entreat thy favour.
rotherham@Job:11:20 @ But, the eyes of the lawless, shall fail, and, place of refuge, shall have vanished from them, and, their hope, be a breathing out of life.
rotherham@Job:12:1 @ Then responded Job, and said:
