rsv@Job:1:5 @ And when the days of the feast had run their course, Job would send and sanctify them, and he would rise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings according to the number of them all; for Job said, "It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts." Thus Job did continually.

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:1:21 @ And he said, "Naked I came from my mother's womb, and naked shall I return; the LORD gave, and the LORD has taken away; blessed be the name of 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:3:10 @ because it did not shut the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide trouble from my eyes.

rsv@Job:3:24 @ For my sighing comes as my bread, and my groanings are poured out like water.

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:4:15 @ A spirit glided past my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.

rsv@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance. A form was before my eyes; there was silence, then I heard a voice:

rsv@Job:5:8 @ "As for me, I would seek God, and to God would I commit my cause;

rsv@Job:6:2 @ "O that my vexation were weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!

rsv@Job:6:3 @ For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash.

rsv@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty are in me; my spirit drinks their poison; the terrors of God are arrayed against me.

rsv@Job:6:7 @ My appetite refuses to touch them; they are as food that is loathsome to me.

rsv@Job:6:8 @ "O that I might have my request, and that God would grant my desire;

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:6:11 @ What is my strength, that I should wait? And what is my end, that I should be patient?

rsv@Job:6:12 @ Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh bronze?

rsv@Job:6:15 @ My brethren are treacherous as a torrent-bed, as freshets that pass away,

rsv@Job:6:21 @ Such you have now become to me; you see my calamity, and are afraid.

rsv@Job:6:29 @ Turn, I pray, let no wrong be done. Turn now, my vindication is at stake.

rsv@Job:6:30 @ Is there any wrong on my tongue? Cannot my taste discern calamity?

rsv@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is clothed with worms and dirt; my skin hardens, then breaks out afresh.

rsv@Job:7:6 @ My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and come to their end without hope.

rsv@Job:7:7 @ "Remember that my life is a breath; my eye will never again see good.

rsv@Job:7:11 @ "Therefore I will not restrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

rsv@Job:7:13 @ When I say, `en I say, "My bed will comfort me, my couch will ease my complaint,'

rsv@Job:7:15 @ so that I would choose strangling and death rather than my bones.

rsv@Job:7:16 @ I loathe my life; I would not live for ever. Let me alone, for my days are a breath.

rsv@Job:7:19 @ How long wilt thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow my spittle?

rsv@Job:7:21 @ Why dost thou not pardon my transgression and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lie in the earth; thou wilt seek me, but I shall not be."

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:9:17 @ For he crushes me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause;

rsv@Job:9:18 @ he will not let me get my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

rsv@Job:9:20 @ Though I am innocent, my own mouth would condemn me; though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse.

rsv@Job:9:21 @ I am blameless; I regard not myself; I loathe my life.

rsv@Job:9:25 @ "My days are swifter than a runner; they flee away, they see no good.

rsv@Job:9:27 @ If I say, ` I say, "I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer,'

rsv@Job:9:28 @ I become afraid of all my suffering, for I know thou wilt not hold me innocent.

rsv@Job:9:30 @ If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,

rsv@Job:9:31 @ yet thou wilt plunge me into a pit, and my own clothes will abhor me.

rsv@Job:9:35 @ Then I would speak without fear of him, for I am not so in myself.

rsv@Job:10:1 @ "I loathe my life; I will give free utterance to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

rsv@Job:10:6 @ that thou dost seek out my iniquity and search for my sin,

rsv@Job:10:12 @ Thou hast granted me life and steadfast love; and thy care has preserved my spirit.

rsv@Job:10:14 @ If I sin, thou dost mark me, and dost not acquit me of my iniquity.

rsv@Job:10:15 @ If I am wicked, woe to me! If I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look upon my affliction.

rsv@Job:10:16 @ And if I lift myself up, thou dost hunt me like a lion, and again work wonders against me;

rsv@Job:10:20 @ Are not the days of my life few? Let me alone, that I may find a little comfort

rsv@Job:11:4 @ For you say, `r you say, "My doctrine is pure, and I am clean in God's eyes.'

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:13:1 @ "Lo, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it.

rsv@Job:13:3 @ But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.

rsv@Job:13:6 @ Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

rsv@Job:13:14 @ I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.

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:13:17 @ Listen carefully to my words, and let my declaration be in your ears.

rsv@Job:13:18 @ Behold, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be vindicated.

rsv@Job:13:20 @ Only grant two things to me, then I will not hide myself from thy face:

rsv@Job:13:23 @ How many are my iniquities and my sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.

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:13:27 @ Thou puttest my feet in the stocks, and watchest all my paths; thou settest a bound to the soles of my feet.

rsv@Job:14:14 @ If a man die, shall he live again? All the days of my service I would wait, till my release should come.

rsv@Job:14:16 @ For then thou wouldest number my steps, thou wouldest not keep watch over my sin;

rsv@Job:14:17 @ my transgression would be sealed up in a bag, and thou wouldest cover over my iniquity.

rsv@Job:16:4 @ I also could speak as you do, if you were in my place; I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.

rsv@Job:16:5 @ I could strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips would assuage your pain.

rsv@Job:16:6 @ "If I speak, my pain is not assuaged, and if I forbear, how much of it leaves me?

rsv@Job:16:7 @ Surely now God has worn me out; he has made desolate all my company.

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:16:13 @ his archers surround me. He slashes open my kidneys, and does not spare; he pours out my gall on the ground.

rsv@Job:16:15 @ I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and have laid my strength in the dust.

rsv@Job:16:16 @ My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is deep darkness;

rsv@Job:16:17 @ although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.

rsv@Job:16:18 @ "O earth, cover not my blood, and let my cry find no resting place.

rsv@Job:16:19 @ Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he that vouches for me is on high.

rsv@Job:16:20 @ My friends scorn me; my eye pours out tears to God,

rsv@Job:17:1 @ My spirit is broken, my days are extinct, the grave is ready for me.

rsv@Job:17:2 @ Surely there are mockers about me, and my eye dwells on their provocation.

rsv@Job:17:7 @ My eye has grown dim from grief, and all my members are like a shadow.

rsv@Job:17:11 @ My days are past, my plans are broken off, the desires of my heart.

rsv@Job:17:13 @ If I look for Sheol as my house, if I spread my couch in darkness,

rsv@Job:17:14 @ if I say to the pit, `You are my father,' and to the worm, `My mother,' or `My sister,'

rsv@Job:17:15 @ where then is my hope? Who will see my hope?

rsv@Job:19:4 @ And even if it be true that I have erred, my error remains with myself.

rsv@Job:19:5 @ If indeed you magnify yourselves against me, and make my humiliation an argument against me,

rsv@Job:19:8 @ He has walled up my way, so that I cannot pass, and he has set darkness upon my paths.

rsv@Job:19:9 @ He has stripped from me my glory, and taken the crown from my head.

rsv@Job:19:10 @ He breaks me down on every side, and I am gone, and my hope has he pulled up like a tree.

rsv@Job:19:12 @ His troops come on together; they have cast up siegeworks against me, and encamp round about my tent.

rsv@Job:19:13 @ "He has put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.

rsv@Job:19:14 @ My kinsfolk and my close friends have failed me;

rsv@Job:19:15 @ the guests in my house have forgotten me; my maidservants count me as a stranger; I have become an alien in their eyes.

rsv@Job:19:16 @ I call to my servant, but he gives me no answer; I must beseech him with my mouth.

rsv@Job:19:17 @ I am repulsive to my wife, loathsome to the sons of my own mother.

rsv@Job:19:19 @ All my intimate friends abhor me, and those whom I loved have turned against me.

rsv@Job:19:20 @ My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.

rsv@Job:19:21 @ Have pity on me, have pity on me, O you my friends, for the hand of God has touched me!

rsv@Job:19:22 @ Why do you, like God, pursue me? Why are you not satisfied with my flesh?

rsv@Job:19:23 @ "Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book!

rsv@Job:19:25 @ For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at last he will stand upon the earth;

rsv@Job:19:26 @ and after my skin has been thus destroyed, then from my flesh I shall see God,

rsv@Job:19:27 @ whom I shall see on my side, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. My heart faints within me!

rsv@Job:20:2 @ "Therefore my thoughts answer me, because of my haste within me.

rsv@Job:20:3 @ I hear censure which insults me, and out of my understanding a spirit answers me.

rsv@Job:21:2 @ "Listen carefully to my words, and let this be your consolation.

rsv@Job:21:4 @ As for me, is my complaint against man? Why should I not be impatient?

rsv@Job:21:6 @ When I think of it I am dismayed, and shuddering seizes my flesh.

rsv@Job:23:2 @ "Today also my complaint is bitter, his hand is heavy in spite of my groaning.

rsv@Job:23:4 @ I would lay my case before him and fill my mouth with arguments.

rsv@Job:23:7 @ There an upright man could reason with him, and I should be acquitted for ever by my judge.

rsv@Job:23:11 @ My foot has held fast to his steps; I have kept his way and have not turned aside.

rsv@Job:23:12 @ I have not departed from the commandment of his lips; I have treasured in my bosom the words of his mouth.

rsv@Job:23:16 @ God has made my heart faint; the Almighty has terrified me;

rsv@Job:23:17 @ for I am hemmed in by darkness, and thick darkness covers my face.

rsv@Job:27:2 @ "As God lives, who has taken away my right, and the Almighty, who has made my soul bitter;

rsv@Job:27:3 @ as long as my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

rsv@Job:27:4 @ my lips will not speak falsehood, and my tongue will not utter deceit.

rsv@Job:27:5 @ Far be it from me to say that you are right; till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

rsv@Job:27:6 @ I hold fast my righteousness, and will not let it go; my heart does not reproach me for any of my days.

rsv@Job:27:7 @ "Let my enemy be as the wicked, and let him that rises up against me be as the unrighteous.

rsv@Job:29:3 @ when his lamp shone upon my head, and by his light I walked through darkness;

rsv@Job:29:4 @ as I was in my autumn days, when the friendship of God was upon my tent;

rsv@Job:29:5 @ when the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

rsv@Job:29:6 @ when my steps were washed with milk, and the rock poured out for me streams of oil!

rsv@Job:29:7 @ When I went out to the gate of the city, when I prepared my seat in the square,

rsv@Job:29:14 @ I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was like a robe and a turban.

rsv@Job:29:18 @ Then I thought, `en I thought, "I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand,

rsv@Job:29:19 @ my roots spread out to the waters, with the dew all night on my branches,

rsv@Job:29:20 @ my glory fresh with me, and my bow ever new in my hand.'

rsv@Job:29:21 @ "Men listened to me, and waited, and kept silence for my counsel.

rsv@Job:29:22 @ After I spoke they did not speak again, and my word dropped upon them.

rsv@Job:29:24 @ I smiled on them when they had no confidence; and the light of my countenance they did not cast down.

rsv@Job:30:1 @ "But now they make sport of me, men who are younger than I, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

rsv@Job:30:11 @ Because God has loosed my cord and humbled me, they have cast off restraint in my presence.

rsv@Job:30:12 @ On my right hand the rabble rise, they drive me forth, they cast up against me their ways of destruction.

rsv@Job:30:13 @ They break up my path, they promote my calamity; no one restrains them.

rsv@Job:30:15 @ Terrors are turned upon me; my honor is pursued as by the wind, and my prosperity has passed away like a cloud.

rsv@Job:30:16 @ "And now my soul is poured out within me; days of affliction have taken hold of me.

rsv@Job:30:17 @ The night racks my bones, and the pain that gnaws me takes no rest.

rsv@Job:30:18 @ With violence it seizes my garment; it binds me about like the collar of my tunic.

rsv@Job:30:25 @ Did not I weep for him whose day was hard? Was not my soul grieved for the poor?

rsv@Job:30:27 @ My heart is in turmoil, and is never still; days of affliction come to meet me.

rsv@Job:30:30 @ My skin turns black and falls from me, and my bones burn with heat.

rsv@Job:30:31 @ My lyre is turned to mourning, and my pipe to the voice of those who weep.

rsv@Job:31:1 @ "I have made a covenant with my eyes; how then could I look upon a virgin?

rsv@Job:31:2 @ What would be my portion from God above, and my heritage from the Almighty on high?

rsv@Job:31:4 @ Does not he see my ways, and number all my steps?

rsv@Job:31:5 @ "If I have walked with falsehood, and my foot has hastened to deceit;

rsv@Job:31:6 @ (Let me be weighed in a just balance, and let God know my integrity!)

rsv@Job:31:7 @ if my step has turned aside from the way, and my heart has gone after my eyes, and if any spot has cleaved to my hands;

rsv@Job:31:9 @ "If my heart has been enticed to a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door;

rsv@Job:31:10 @ then let my wife grind for another, and let others bow down upon her.

rsv@Job:31:12 @ for that would be a fire which consumes unto Abaddon, and it would burn to the root all my increase.

rsv@Job:31:13 @ "If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, when they brought a complaint against me;

rsv@Job:31:17 @ or have eaten my morsel alone, and the fatherless has not eaten of it

rsv@Job:31:20 @ if his loins have not blessed me, and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

rsv@Job:31:21 @ if I have raised my hand against the fatherless, because I saw help in the gate;

rsv@Job:31:22 @ then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder, and let my arm be broken from its socket.

rsv@Job:31:24 @ "If I have made gold my trust, or called fine gold my confidence;

rsv@Job:31:25 @ if I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, or because my hand had gotten much;

rsv@Job:31:27 @ and my heart has been secretly enticed, and my mouth has kissed my hand;

rsv@Job:31:30 @ (I have not let my mouth sin by asking for his life with a curse);

rsv@Job:31:31 @ if the men of my tent have not said, `ho is there that has not been filled with his meat?'

rsv@Job:31:32 @ (the sojourner has not lodged in the street; I have opened my doors to the wayfarer);

rsv@Job:31:33 @ if I have concealed my transgressions from men, by hiding my iniquity in my bosom,

rsv@Job:31:35 @ Oh, that I had one to hear me! (Here is my signature! let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!

rsv@Job:31:36 @ Surely I would carry it on my shoulder; I would bind it on me as a crown;

rsv@Job:31:37 @ I would give him an account of all my steps; like a prince I would approach him.

rsv@Job:31:38 @ "If my land has cried out against me, and its furrows have wept together;

rsv@Job:32:6 @ And Eli'hu the son of Bar'achel the Buzite answered: "I am young in years, and you are aged; therefore I was timid and afraid to declare my opinion to you.

rsv@Job:32:10 @ Therefore I say, `isten to me; let me also declare my opinion.'

rsv@Job:32:12 @ I gave you my attention, and, behold, there was none that confuted Job, or that answered his words, among you.

rsv@Job:32:17 @ I also will give my answer; I also will declare my opinion.

rsv@Job:32:19 @ Behold, my heart is like wine that has no vent; like new wineskins, it is ready to burst.

rsv@Job:32:20 @ I must speak, that I may find relief; I must open my lips and answer.

rsv@Job:32:22 @ For I do not know how to flatter, else would my Maker soon put an end to me.

rsv@Job:33:1 @ "But now, hear my speech, O Job, and listen to all my words.

rsv@Job:33:2 @ Behold, I open my mouth; the tongue in my mouth speaks.

rsv@Job:33:3 @ My words declare the uprightness of my heart, and what my lips know they speak sincerely.

rsv@Job:33:8 @ "Surely, you have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the sound of your words.

rsv@Job:33:10 @ Behold, he finds occasions against me, he counts me as his enemy;

rsv@Job:33:13 @ Why do you contend against him, saying, `He will answer none of my words'?

rsv@Songs:4:11 @ Your lips distil nectar, my bride; honey and milk are under your tongue; the scent of your garments is like the scent of Lebanon.

rsv@Songs:4:12 @ A garden locked is my sister, my bride, a garden locked, a fountain sealed.

rsv@Songs:4:14 @ nard and saffron, calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense, myrrh and aloes, with all chief spices--

rsv@Songs:4:16 @ Awake, O north wind, and come, O south wind! Blow upon my garden, let its fragrance be wafted abroad. Let my beloved come to his garden, and eat its choicest fruits.

rsv@Songs:5:1 @ I come to my garden, my sister, my bride, I gather my myrrh with my spice, I eat my honeycomb with my honey, I drink my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends, and drink: drink deeply, O lovers!

rsv@Songs:5:2 @ I slept, but my heart was awake. Hark! my beloved is knocking. "Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my perfect one; for my head is wet with dew, my locks with the drops of the night."

rsv@Songs:5:3 @ I had put off my garment, how could I put it on? I had bathed my feet, how could I soil them?

rsv@Songs:5:4 @ My beloved put his hand to the latch, and my heart was thrilled within me.

rsv@Songs:5:5 @ I arose to open to my beloved, and my hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, upon the handles of the bolt.

rsv@Songs:5:6 @ I opened to my beloved, but my beloved had turned and gone. My soul failed me when he spoke. I sought him, but found him not; I called him, but he gave no answer.

rsv@Songs:5:7 @ The watchmen found me, as they went about in the city; they beat me, they wounded me, they took away my mantle, those watchmen of the walls.

rsv@Songs:5:8 @ I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, if you find my beloved, that you tell him I am sick with love.

rsv@Songs:5:10 @ My beloved is all radiant and ruddy, distinguished among ten thousand.

rsv@Songs:5:13 @ His cheeks are like beds of spices, yielding fragrance. His lips are lilies, distilling liquid myrrh.

rsv@Songs:5:16 @ His speech is most sweet, and he is altogether desirable. This is my beloved and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

rsv@Songs:6:2 @ My beloved has gone down to his garden, to the beds of spices, to pasture his flock in the gardens, and to gather lilies.

rsv@Songs:6:3 @ I am my beloved's and my beloved is mine; he pastures his flock among the lilies.

rsv@Songs:6:4 @ You are beautiful as Tirzah, my love, comely as Jerusalem, terrible as an army with banners.

rsv@Songs:6:9 @ My dove, my perfect one, is only one, the darling of her mother, flawless to her that bore her. The maidens saw her and called her happy; the queens and concubines also, and they praised her.

rsv@Songs:6:10 @ "Who is this that looks forth like the dawn, fair as the moon, bright as the sun, terrible as an army with banners?"

rsv@Songs:6:12 @ Before I was aware, my fancy set me in a chariot beside my prince.

rsv@Songs:7:10 @ I am my beloved's, and his desire is for me.

rsv@Songs:7:11 @ Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and lodge in the villages;

rsv@Songs:7:12 @ let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love.

rsv@Songs:7:13 @ The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and over our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.

rsv@Songs:8:1 @ O that you were like a brother to me, that nursed at my mother's breast! If I met you outside, I would kiss you, and none would despise me.

rsv@Songs:8:2 @ I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother, and into the chamber of her that conceived me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the juice of my pomegranates.

rsv@Songs:8:3 @ O that his left hand were under my head, and that his right hand embraced me!

rsv@Songs:8:10 @ I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who brings peace.

rsv@Songs:8:12 @ My vineyard, my very own, is for myself; you, O Solomon, may have the thousand, and the keepers of the fruit two hundred.

rsv@Songs:8:13 @ O you who dwell in the gardens, my companions are listening for your voice; let me hear it.

rsv@Songs:8:14 @ Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag upon the mountains of spices.
