Job:1:2 @ There were born to him seven sons and three daughters.
rsv@Job:1:3 @ He had seven thousand sheep, three thousand camels, five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and very many servants; so that this man was the greatest of all the people of the east.
rsv@Job:1:4 @ His sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each on his day; and they would send and invite their three sisters to eat and drink with them.
rsv@Job:1:8 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil?"
rsv@Job:1:10 @ Hast thou not put a hedge about him and his house and all that he has, on every side? Thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and his possessions have increased in the land.
rsv@Job:1:12 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, all that he has is in your power; only upon himself do not put forth your hand." So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD.
rsv@Job:1:13 @ Now there was a day when his sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;
rsv@Job:1:16 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you."
rsv@Job:1:17 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "The Chalde'ans formed three companies, and made a raid upon the camels and took them, and slew the servants with the edge of the sword; and I alone have escaped to tell you."
rsv@Job:1:18 @ While he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "Your sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house;
rsv@Job:1:20 @ Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell upon the ground, and worshiped.
rsv@Job:1:22 @ In all this Job did not sin or charge God with wrong.
rsv@Job:2:1 @ Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan also came among them to present himself before the LORD.
rsv@Job:2:3 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job, that there is none like him on the earth, a blameless and upright man, who fears God and turns away from evil? He still holds fast his integrity, although you moved me against him, to destroy him without cause."
rsv@Job:2:4 @ Then Satan answered the LORD, "Skin for skin! All that a man has he will give for his life.
rsv@Job:2:5 @ But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face."
rsv@Job:2:6 @ And the LORD said to Satan, "Behold, he is in your power; only spare his life."
rsv@Job:2:7 @ So Satan went forth from the presence of the LORD, and afflicted Job with loathsome sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.
rsv@Job:2:8 @ And he took a potsherd with which to scrape himself, and sat among the ashes.
rsv@Job:2:9 @ Then his wife said to him, "Do you still hold fast your integrity? Curse God, and die."
rsv@Job:2:10 @ But he said to her, "You speak as one of the foolish women would speak. Shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?" In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
rsv@Job:2:11 @ Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that had come upon him, they came each from his own place, Eli'phaz the Te'manite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Na'amathite. They made an appointment together to come to condole with him and comfort him.
rsv@Job:2:12 @ And when they saw him from afar, they did not recognize him; and they raised their voices and wept; and they rent their robes and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.
rsv@Job:2:13 @ And they sat with him on the ground seven days and seven nights, and no one spoke a word to him, for they saw that his suffering was very great.
rsv@Job:3:1 @ After this Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.
rsv@Job:3:3 @ "Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night which said, ` man-child is conceived.'
rsv@Job:3:4 @ Let that day be darkness! May God above not seek it, nor light shine upon it.
rsv@Job:3:6 @ That night--let thick darkness seize it! let it not rejoice among the days of the year, let it not come into the number of the months.
rsv@Job:3:10 @ because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes.
rsv@Job:3:16 @ Or why was I not as a hidden untimely birth, as infants that never see the light?
rsv@Job:3:19 @ The small and the great are there, and the slave is free from his master.
rsv@Job:3:20 @ "Why is light given to him that is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul,
rsv@Job:3:21 @ who long for death, but it comes not, and dig for it more than for hid treasures;
rsv@Job:3:23 @ Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, whom God has hedged in?
rsv@Job:3:24 @ For my sighing comes as my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.
rsv@Job:3:25 @ For the thing that I fear comes upon me, and what I dread befalls me.
rsv@Job:4:4 @ Your words have upheld him who was stumbling, and you have made firm the feeble knees.
rsv@Job:4:7 @ "Think now, who that was innocent ever perished? Or where were the upright cut off+?
rsv@Job:4:9 @ By the breath of God they perish, and by the blast of his anger they are consumed.
rsv@Job:4:12 @ "Now a word was brought to me stealthily, my ear received the whisper of it.
rsv@Job:4:14 @ dread came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones shake.
rsv@Job:4:17 @ `an mortal man be righteous before God? Can a man be pure before his Maker?
rsv@Job:4:18 @ Even in his servants he puts no trust, and his angels he charges with error;
rsv@Job:4:21 @ If their tent-cord is plucked up within them, do they not die, and that without wisdom?'
rsv@Job:5:1 @ "Call now; is there any one who will answer you? To which of the holy ones will you turn?
rsv@Job:5:3 @ I have seen the fool taking root, but suddenly I cursed his dwelling.
rsv@Job:5:4 @ His sons are far from safety, they are crushed in the gate, and there is no one to deliver them.
rsv@Job:5:5 @ His harvest the hungry eat, and he takes it even out of thorns; and the thirsty pant after his wealth.
rsv@Job:5:9 @ who does great things and unsearchable, marvelous things without number:
rsv@Job:5:11 @ he sets on high those who are lowly, and those who mourn are lifted to safety.
rsv@Job:5:12 @ He frustrates the devices of the crafty, so that their hands achieve no success.
rsv@Job:5:18 @ For he wounds, but he binds up; he smites, but his hands heal.
rsv@Job:5:21 @ You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue, and shall not fear destruction when it comes.
rsv@Job:5:24 @ You shall know that your tent is safe, and you shall inspect your fold and miss nothing.
rsv@Job:5:26 @ You shall come to your grave in ripe old age, as a shock of grain comes up to the threshing floor in its season.
rsv@Job:5:27 @ Lo, this we have searched out; it is true. Hear, and know it for your good."
rsv@Job:6:5 @ Does the wild ass bray when he has grass, or the ox low over his fodder?
rsv@Job:6:6 @ Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt, or is there any taste in the slime of the purslane?
rsv@Job:6:9 @ that it would please God to crush me, that he would let loose his hand and cut me off!
rsv@Job:6:10 @ This would be my consolation; I would even exult in pain unsparing; for I have not denied the words of the Holy One.
rsv@Job:6:16 @ which are dark with ice, and where the snow hides itself.
rsv@Job:6:20 @ They are disappointed because they were confident; they come thither and are confounded.
rsv@Job:6:26 @ Do you think that you can reprove words, when the speech of a despairing man is wind?
rsv@Job:7:1 @ "Has not man a hard service upon earth, and are not his days like the days of a hireling?
rsv@Job:7:2 @ Like a slave who longs for the shadow, and like a hireling who looks for his wages,
rsv@Job:7:8 @ The eye of him who sees me will behold me no more; while thy eyes are upon me, I shall be gone.
rsv@Job:7:10 @ he returns no more to his house, nor does his place know him any more.
rsv@Job:7:17 @ What is man, that thou dost make so much of him, and that thou dost set thy mind upon him,
rsv@Job:7:18 @ dost visit him every morning, and test him every moment?
rsv@Job:8:1 @ Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
rsv@Job:8:2 @ "How long will you say these things, and the words of your mouth be a great wind?
rsv@Job:8:4 @ If your children have sinned against him, he has delivered them into the power of their transgression.
rsv@Job:8:6 @ if you are pure and upright, surely then he will rouse himself for you and reward you with a rightful habitation.
rsv@Job:8:9 @ for we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, for our days on earth are a shadow.
rsv@Job:8:12 @ While yet in flower and not cut down, they wither before any other plant.
rsv@Job:8:14 @ His confidence breaks in sunder, and his trust is a spider's web.
rsv@Job:8:15 @ He leans against his house, but it does not stand; he lays hold of it, but it does not endure.
rsv@Job:8:16 @ He thrives before the sun, and his shoots spread over his garden.
rsv@Job:8:17 @ His roots twine about the stoneheap; he lives among the rocks.
rsv@Job:8:18 @ If he is destroyed from his place, then it will deny him, saying, `ng, "I have never seen you.'
rsv@Job:8:19 @ Behold, this is the joy of his way; and out of the earth others will spring.
rsv@Job:9:3 @ If one wished to contend with him, one could not answer him once in a thousand times.
rsv@Job:9:4 @ He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength --who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?--
rsv@Job:9:5 @ he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger;
rsv@Job:9:10 @ who does great things beyond understanding, and marvelous things without number.
rsv@Job:9:11 @ Lo, he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him.
rsv@Job:9:12 @ Behold, he snatches away; who can hinder him? who will say to him, `u'?
rsv@Job:9:13 @ "God will not turn back his anger; beneath him bowed the helpers of Rahab.
rsv@Job:9:14 @ How then can I answer him, choosing my words with him?
rsv@Job:9:15 @ Though I am innocent, I cannot answer him; I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.
rsv@Job:9:16 @ If I summoned him and he answered me, I would not believe that he was listening to my voice.
rsv@Job:9:19 @ If it is a contest of strength, behold him! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?
rsv@Job:9:32 @ For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him, that we should come to trial together.
rsv@Job:9:33 @ There is no umpire between us, who might lay his hand upon us both.
rsv@Job:9:34 @ Let him take his rod away from me, and let not dread of him terrify me.
rsv@Job:9:35 @ Then I would speak without fear of him, for I am not so in myself.
rsv@Job:10:8 @ Thy hands fashioned and made me; and now thou dost turn about and destroy me.
rsv@Job:10:13 @ Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this was thy purpose.
rsv@Job:11:1 @ Then Zophar the Na'amathite answered:
rsv@Job:11:5 @ But oh, that God would speak, and open his lips to you,
rsv@Job:11:7 @ "Can you find out the deep things of God? Can you find out the limit of the Almighty?
rsv@Job:11:8 @ It is higher than heaven --what can you do? Deeper than Sheol--what can you know?
rsv@Job:11:10 @ If he passes through, and imprisons, and calls to judgment, who can hinder him?
rsv@Job:11:13 @ "If you set your heart aright, you will stretch out your hands toward him.
rsv@Job:12:3 @ But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you. Who does not know such things as these?
rsv@Job:12:4 @ I am a laughingstock to my friends; I, who called upon God and he answered me, a just and blameless man, am a laughingstock.
rsv@Job:12:9 @ Who among all these does not know that the hand of the LORD has done this?
rsv@Job:12:10 @ In his hand is the life of every living thing and the breath of all mankind.
rsv@Job:12:16 @ With him are strength and wisdom; the deceived and the deceiver are his.
rsv@Job:12:24 @ He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and makes them wander in a pathless waste.
rsv@Job:13:1 @ "Lo, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it.
rsv@Job:13:4 @ As for you, you whitewash with lies; worthless physicians are you all.
rsv@Job:13:7 @ Will you speak falsely for God, and speak deceitfully for him?
rsv@Job:13:8 @ Will you show partiality toward him, will you plead the case for God?
rsv@Job:13:9 @ Will it be well with you when he searches you out? Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man?
rsv@Job:13:11 @ Will not his majesty terrify you, and the dread of him fall upon you?
rsv@Job:13:15 @ Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope; yet I will defend my ways to his face.
rsv@Job:13:16 @ This will be my salvation, that a godless man shall not come before him.
rsv@Job:13:20 @ Only grant two things to me, then I will not hide myself from thy face:
rsv@Job:13:24 @ Why dost thou hide thy face, and count me as thy enemy?
rsv@Job:13:26 @ For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
rsv@Job:13:28 @ Man wastes away like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
rsv@Job:14:3 @ And dost thou open thy eyes upon such a one and bring him into judgment with thee?
rsv@Job:14:4 @ Who can bring a clean thing out of an unclean? There is not one.
rsv@Job:14:5 @ Since his days are determined, and the number of his months is with thee, and thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass,
rsv@Job:14:6 @ look away from him, and desist, that he may enjoy, like a hireling, his day.
rsv@Job:14:10 @ But man dies, and is laid low; man breathes his last, and where is he?
rsv@Job:14:12 @ so man lies down and rises not again; till the heavens are no more he will not awake, or be roused out of his sleep.
rsv@Job:14:13 @ Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, that thou wouldest conceal me until thy wrath be past, that thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!
rsv@Job:14:20 @ Thou prevailest for ever against him, and he passes; thou changest his countenance, and sendest him away.
rsv@Job:14:21 @ His sons come to honor, and he does not know it; they are brought low, and he perceives it not.
rsv@Job:14:22 @ He feels only the pain of his own body, and he mourns only for himself."
rsv@Job:15:2 @ "Should a wise man answer with windy knowledge, and fill himself with the east wind?
rsv@Job:15:3 @ Should he argue in unprofitable talk, or in words with which he can do no good?
rsv@Job:15:4 @ But you are doing away with the fear of God, and hindering meditation before God.
rsv@Job:15:7 @ "Are you the first man that was born? Or were you brought forth before the hills?
rsv@Job:15:15 @ Behold, God puts no trust in his holy ones, and the heavens are not clean in his sight;

rsv@Job:15:20 @ The wicked man writhes in pain all his days, through all the years that are laid up for the ruthless.
rsv@Job:15:21 @ Terrifying sounds are in his ears; in prosperity the destroyer will come upon him.
rsv@Job:15:23 @ He wanders abroad for bread, saying, ` wanders abroad for bread, saying, "Where is it?' He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand;
rsv@Job:15:24 @ distress and anguish terrify him; they prevail against him, like a king prepared for battle.
rsv@Job:15:25 @ Because he has stretched forth his hand against God, and bids defiance to the Almighty,
rsv@Job:15:26 @ running stubbornly against him with a thick-bossed shield;
rsv@Job:15:27 @ because he has covered his face with his fat, and gathered fat upon his loins,
rsv@Job:15:28 @ and has lived in desolate cities, in houses which no man should inhabit, which were destined to become heaps of ruins;
rsv@Job:15:29 @ he will not be rich, and his wealth will not endure, nor will he strike root in the earth;
rsv@Job:15:30 @ he will not escape from darkness; the flame will dry up his shoots, and his blossom will be swept away by the wind.
rsv@Job:15:31 @ Let him not trust in emptiness, deceiving himself; for emptiness will be his recompense.
rsv@Job:15:32 @ It will be paid in full before his time, and his branch will not be green.
rsv@Job:15:33 @ He will shake off his unripe grape, like the vine, and cast off his blossom, like the olive tree.
rsv@Job:15:35 @ They conceive mischief and bring forth evil and their heart prepares deceit."
rsv@Job:16:2 @ "I have heard many such things; miserable comforters are you all.
rsv@Job:16:8 @ And he has shriveled me up, which is a witness against me; and my leanness has risen up against me, it testifies to my face.
rsv@Job:16:9 @ He has torn me in his wrath, and hated me; he has gnashed his teeth at me; my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.
rsv@Job:16:12 @ I was at ease, and he broke me asunder; he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces; he set me up as his target,
rsv@Job:16:13 @ his archers surround me. He slashes open my kidneys, and does not spare; he pours out my gall on the ground.
rsv@Job:16:19 @ Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he that vouches for me is on high.
rsv@Job:16:21 @ that he would maintain the right of a man with God, like that of a man with his neighbor.
rsv@Job:17:5 @ He who informs against his friends to get a share of their property, the eyes of his children will fail.
rsv@Job:17:8 @ Upright men are appalled at this, and the innocent stirs himself up against the godless.
rsv@Job:17:9 @ Yet the righteous holds to his way, and he that has clean hands grows stronger and stronger.
rsv@Job:18:1 @ Then Bildad the Shuhite answered:
rsv@Job:18:5 @ "Yea, the light of the wicked is put out, and the flame of his fire does not shine.
rsv@Job:18:6 @ The light is dark in his tent, and his lamp above him is put out.
rsv@Job:18:7 @ His strong steps are shortened and his own schemes throw him down.
rsv@Job:18:8 @ For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks on a pitfall.
rsv@Job:18:9 @ A trap seizes him by the heel, a snare lays hold of him.
rsv@Job:18:10 @ A rope is hid for him in the ground, a trap for him in the path.
rsv@Job:18:11 @ Terrors frighten him on every side, and chase him at his heels.
rsv@Job:18:12 @ His strength is hunger-bitten, and calamity is ready for his stumbling.
rsv@Job:18:13 @ By disease his skin is consumed, the first-born of death consumes his limbs.
rsv@Job:18:14 @ He is torn from the tent in which he trusted, and is brought to the king of terrors.
rsv@Job:18:15 @ In his tent dwells that which is none of his; brimstone is scattered upon his habitation.
rsv@Job:18:16 @ His roots dry up beneath, and his branches wither above.
rsv@Job:18:17 @ His memory perishes from the earth, and he has no name in the street.
rsv@Job:18:19 @ He has no offspring or descendant among his people, and no survivor where he used to live.
rsv@Job:18:20 @ They of the west are appalled at his day, and horror seizes them of the east.
rsv@Job:18:21 @ Surely such are the dwellings of the ungodly, such is the place of him who knows not God."
rsv@Job:19:6 @ know then that God has put me in the wrong, and closed his net about me.
rsv@Job:19:11 @ He has kindled his wrath against me, and counts me as his adversary.
rsv@Job:19:12 @ His troops come on together; they have cast up siegeworks against me, and encamp round about my tent.
rsv@Job:19:16 @ I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer; I must beseech him with my mouth.
rsv@Job:19:18 @ Even young children despise me; when I rise they talk against me.

rsv@Job:19:28 @ If you say, `e him!' and, `s found in him';
rsv@Job:20:1 @ Then Zophar the Na'amathite answered:

rsv@Job:20:15 @ He swallows down riches and vomits them up again; God casts them out of his belly.
rsv@Job:20:16 @ He will suck the poison of asps; the tongue of a viper will kill him.
rsv@Job:20:18 @ He will give back the fruit of his toil, and will not swallow it down; from the profit of his trading he will get no enjoyment.
rsv@Job:20:19 @ For he has crushed and abandoned the poor, he has seized a house which he did not build.
rsv@Job:20:20 @ "Because his greed knew no rest, he will not save anything in which he delights.

rsv@Job:20:23 @ To fill his belly to the full God will send his fierce anger into him, and rain it upon him as his food.
rsv@Job:20:24 @ He will flee from an iron weapon; a bronze arrow will strike him through.
rsv@Job:20:25 @ It is drawn forth and comes out of his body, the glittering point comes out of his gall; terrors come upon him.
rsv@Job:20:26 @ Utter darkness is laid up for his treasures; a fire not blown upon will devour him; what is left in his tent will be consumed.
rsv@Job:20:27 @ The heavens will reveal his iniquity, and the earth will rise up against him.
rsv@Job:20:28 @ The possessions of his house will be carried away, dragged off in the day of God's wrath.
