Job:1:1 @There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.
bbe@Job:1:3 @And of cattle he had seven thousand sheep and goats, and three thousand camels, and a thousand oxen, and five hundred she-asses, and a very great number of servants. And the man was greater than any of the sons of the east.
bbe@Job:1:4 @His sons regularly went to one another's houses, and every one on his day gave a feast: and at these times they sent for their three sisters to take part in their feasts with them.
bbe@Job:1:5 @And at the end of their days of feasting, Job sent and made them clean, getting up early in the morning and offering burned offerings for them all. For, Job said, It may be that my sons have done wrong and said evil of God in their hearts. And Job did this whenever the feasts came round.
bbe@Job:1:6 @And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.
bbe@Job:1:10 @Have you yourself not put a wall round him and his house and all he has on every side, blessing the work of his hands, and increasing his cattle in the land?
bbe@Job:1:11 @But now, put out your hand against all he has, and he will be cursing you to your face.
bbe@Job:1:12 @And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.
bbe@Job:1:13 @And there was a day when his sons and daughters were feasting in the house of their oldest brother,
bbe@Job:1:14 @And a man came to Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the asses were taking their food by their side:
bbe@Job:1:15 @And the men of Sheba came against them and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
bbe@Job:1:16 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The fire of God came down from heaven, burning up the sheep and the goats and the young men completely, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
bbe@Job:1:17 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, The Chaldaeans made themselves into three bands, and came down on the camels and took them away, putting the young men to the sword, and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
bbe@Job:1:18 @And this one was still talking when another came, and said, Your sons and your daughters were feasting together in their oldest brother's house,
bbe@Job:1:19 @When a great wind came rushing from the waste land against the four sides of the house, and it came down on the young men, and they are dead; and I was the only one who got away safe to give you the news.
bbe@Job:1:21 @With nothing I came out of my mother's body, and with nothing I will go back there; the Lord gave and the Lord has taken away; let the Lord's name be praised.
bbe@Job:2:1 @And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.
bbe@Job:2:4 @And the Satan said in answer to the Lord, Skin for skin, all a man has he will give for his life.
bbe@Job:2:7 @And the Satan went out from before the Lord, and sent on Job an evil disease covering his skin from his feet to the top of his head.
bbe@Job:2:8 @And he took a broken bit of a pot, and, seated in the dust, was rubbing himself with the sharp edge of it.
bbe@Job:2:12 @And lifting up their eyes when they were still far off, it did not seem that the man they saw was Job because of the change in him. And they gave way to bitter weeping, with signs of grief, and put dust on their heads.
bbe@Job:2:13 @And they took their seats on the earth by his side for seven days and seven nights: but no one said a word to him, for they saw that his pain was very great.
bbe@Job:3:3 @Let destruction take the day of my birth, and the night on which it was said, A man child has come into the world.
bbe@Job:3:7 @As for that night, let it have no fruit; let no voice of joy be sounded in it;
bbe@Job:3:11 @Why did death not take me when I came out of my mother's body, why did I not, when I came out, give up my last breath?
bbe@Job:3:12 @Why did the knees take me, or why the breasts that they might give me milk?
bbe@Job:3:16 @Or as a child dead at birth I might never have come into existence; like young children who have not seen the light.
bbe@Job:3:17 @There the passions of the evil are over, and those whose strength has come to an end have rest.
bbe@Job:3:19 @The small and the great are there, and the servant is free from his master.
bbe@Job:3:22 @Who are glad with great joy, and full of delight when they come to their last resting-place;
bbe@Job:4:4 @He who was near to falling has been lifted up by your words, and you have given strength to bent knees.
bbe@Job:4:5 @But now it has come on you and it is a weariness to you; you are touched by it and your mind is troubled.
bbe@Job:4:8 @What I have seen is that those by whom trouble has been ploughed, and evil planted, get the same for themselves.
bbe@Job:4:12 @A word was given to me secretly, and the low sound of it came to my ears.
bbe@Job:4:15 @And a breath was moving over my face; the hair of my flesh became stiff:
bbe@Job:4:16 @Something was present before me, but I was not able to see it clearly; there was a form before my eyes: a quiet voice came to my ears, saying:
bbe@Job:4:19 @How much more those living in houses of earth, whose bases are in the dust! They are crushed more quickly than an insect;
bbe@Job:5:2 @For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.
bbe@Job:5:5 @Their produce is taken by him who has no food, and their grain goes to the poor, and he who is in need of water gets it from their spring.
bbe@Job:5:7 @But trouble is man's fate from birth, as the flames go up from the fire.
bbe@Job:5:8 @But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him:
bbe@Job:5:14 @In the daytime it becomes dark for them, and in the sunlight they go feeling about as if it was night.
bbe@Job:5:16 @So the poor man has hope, and the mouth of the evil-doer is stopped.
bbe@Job:5:17 @Truly, that man is happy who has training from the hand of God: so do not let your heart be shut to the teaching of the Ruler of all.
bbe@Job:5:21 @He will keep you safe from the evil tongue; and you will have no fear of wasting when it comes.
bbe@Job:5:22 @You will make sport of destruction and need, and will have no fear of the beasts of the earth.
bbe@Job:5:23 @For you will be in agreement with the stones of the earth, and the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
bbe@Job:5:26 @You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time.
bbe@Job:5:27 @See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.
bbe@Job:6:2 @If only my passion might be measured, and put into the scales against my trouble!
bbe@Job:6:3 @For then its weight would be more than the sand of the seas: because of this my words have been uncontrolled.
bbe@Job:6:5 @Does the ass of the fields give out his voice when he has grass? or does the ox make sounds over his food?
bbe@Job:6:6 @Will a man take food which has no taste without salt? or is there any taste in the soft substance of purslain?
bbe@Job:6:7 @My soul has no desire for such things, they are as disease in my food.
bbe@Job:6:9 @If only he would be pleased to put an end to me; and would let loose his hand, so that I might be cut off!
bbe@Job:6:12 @Is my strength the strength of stones, or is my flesh brass?
bbe@Job:6:14 @He whose heart is shut against his friend has given up the fear of the Ruler of all
bbe@Job:6:18 @The camel-trains go out of their way; they go up into the waste and come to destruction.
bbe@Job:6:20 @They were put to shame because of their hope; they came and their hope was gone.
bbe@Job:6:25 @How pleasing are upright words! but what force is there in your arguments?
bbe@Job:6:26 @My words may seem wrong to you, but the words of him who has no hope are for the wind.
bbe@Job:6:27 @Truly, you are such as would give up the child of a dead man to his creditors, and would make a profit out of your friend.
bbe@Job:7:1 @Has not man his ordered time of trouble on the earth? and are not his days like the days of a servant working for payment?
bbe@Job:7:2 @As a servant desiring the shades of evening, and a workman looking for his payment:
bbe@Job:7:12 @Am I a sea, or a sea-beast, that you put a watch over me?
bbe@Job:7:13 @When I say, In my bed I will have comfort, there I will get rest from my disease;
bbe@Job:7:16 @I have no desire for life, I would not be living for ever! Keep away from me, for my days are as a breath
bbe@Job:8:7 @And though your start was small, your end will be very great.
bbe@Job:8:8 @Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:
bbe@Job:8:11 @Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?
bbe@Job:9:3 @If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions.
bbe@Job:9:11 @See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.
bbe@Job:9:15 @Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me.
bbe@Job:9:17 @For I would be crushed by his storm, my wounds would be increased without cause.
bbe@Job:9:20 @Though I was in the right, he would say that I was in the wrong; I have done no evil; but he says that I am a sinner
bbe@Job:9:22 @It is all the same to me; so I say, He puts an end to the sinner and to him who has done no wrong together.
bbe@Job:9:23 @If death comes suddenly through disease, he makes sport of the fate of those who have done no wrong.
bbe@Job:9:24 @The land is given into the power of the evil-doer; the faces of its judges are covered; if not by him, then who has done it?
bbe@Job:9:30 @If I am washed with snow water, and make my hands clean with soap;
bbe@Job:9:32 @For he is not a man as I am, that I might give him an answer, that we might come together before a judge.
bbe@Job:10:2 @I will say to God, Do not put me down as a sinner; make clear to me what you have against me.
bbe@Job:10:4 @Have you eyes of flesh, or do you see as man sees?
bbe@Job:10:5 @Are your days as the days of man, or your years like his,
bbe@Job:10:8 @Your hands made me, and I was formed by you, but then, changing your purpose, you gave me up to destruction.
bbe@Job:10:10 @Was I not drained out like milk, becoming hard like cheese?
bbe@Job:10:11 @By you I was clothed with skin and flesh, and joined together with bones and muscles.
bbe@Job:10:12 @You have been kind to me, and your grace has been with me, and your care has kept my spirit safe.
bbe@Job:10:13 @But you kept these things in the secret of your heart; I am certain this was in your thoughts:
bbe@Job:10:15 @That, if I was an evil-doer, the curse would come on me; and if I was upright, my head would not be lifted up, being full of shame and overcome with trouble.
bbe@Job:10:16 @And that if there was cause for pride, you would go after me like a lion; and again put out your wonders against me:
bbe@Job:10:17 @That you would send new witnesses against me, increasing your wrath against me, and letting loose new armies on me.
bbe@Job:10:18 @Why then did you make me come out of my mother's body? It would have been better for me to have taken my last breath, and for no eye to have seen me,
bbe@Job:10:19 @And for me to have been as if I had not been; to have been taken from my mother's body straight to my last resting-place.
bbe@Job:10:20 @Are not the days of my life small in number? Let your eyes be turned away from me, so that I may have a little pleasure,
bbe@Job:11:7 @Are you able to take God's measure, to make discovery of the limits of the Ruler of all?
bbe@Job:11:9 @Longer in measure than the earth, and wider than the sea.
bbe@Job:11:11 @For in his eyes men are as nothing; he sees evil and takes note of it
bbe@Job:11:12 @And so a hollow-minded man will get wisdom, when a young ass of the field gets teaching.
bbe@Job:11:20 @But the eyes of the evil-doers will be wasting away; their way of flight is gone, and their only hope is the taking of their last breath.
bbe@Job:12:3 @But I have a mind as well as you; I am equal to you: yes, who has not knowledge of such things as these?
bbe@Job:12:4 @It seems that I am to be as one who is a cause of laughing to his neighbour, one who makes his prayer to God and is answered! the upright man who has done no wrong is to be made sport of!
bbe@Job:12:7 @But put now a question to the beasts, and get teaching from them; or to the birds of the heaven, and they will make it clear to you;
bbe@Job:12:9 @Who does not see by all these that the hand of the Lord has done this?
bbe@Job:12:11 @Are not words tested by the ear, even as food is tasted by the mouth?
bbe@Job:12:23 @Increasing nations, and sending destruction on them; making wide the lands of peoples, and then giving them up.
bbe@Job:12:24 @He takes away the wisdom of the rulers of the earth, and sends them wandering in a waste where there is no way.
bbe@Job:13:1 @Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it.
bbe@Job:13:2 @The same things are in my mind as in yours; I am equal to you.
bbe@Job:13:8 @Will you have respect for God's person in this cause, and put yourselves forward as his supporters?
bbe@Job:13:24 @Why is your face veiled from me, as if I was numbered among your haters?
bbe@Job:13:28 @Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm.
bbe@Job:14:1 @As for man, the son of woman, his days are short and full of trouble.
bbe@Job:14:3 @Is it on such a one as this that your eyes are fixed, with the purpose of judging him?
bbe@Job:14:5 @If his days are ordered, and you have knowledge of the number of his months, having given him a fixed limit past which he may not go;
bbe@Job:14:6 @Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.
bbe@Job:14:11 @The waters go from a pool, and a river becomes waste and dry;
bbe@Job:14:12 @So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.
bbe@Job:14:13 @If only you would keep me safe in the underworld, putting me in a secret place till your wrath is past, giving me a fixed time when I might come to your memory again!
bbe@Job:14:19 @The stones are crushed small by the force of the waters; the dust of the earth is washed away by their overflowing: and so you put an end to the hope of man.
bbe@Job:14:21 @His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.
bbe@Job:14:22 @Only his flesh still has pain, and his soul is sad.
bbe@Job:15:2 @Will a wise man make answer with knowledge of no value, or will he give birth to the east wind?
bbe@Job:15:11 @Are the comforts of God not enough for you, and the gentle word which was said to you?
bbe@Job:15:19 @For only to them was the land given, and no strange people were among them:)
bbe@Job:15:22 @He has no hope of coming safe out of the dark, and his fate will be the sword;
bbe@Job:15:26 @Running against him like a man of war, covered by his thick breastplate; even like a king ready for the fight,
bbe@Job:15:27 @Because his face is covered with fat, and his body has become thick;
bbe@Job:15:28 @And he has made his resting-place in the towns which have been pulled down, in houses where no man had a right to be, whose fate was to become masses of broken walls.
bbe@Job:15:29 @He does not get wealth for himself, and is unable to keep what he has got; the heads of his grain are not bent down to the earth.
bbe@Job:15:31 @Let him not put his hope in what is false, falling into error: for he will get deceit as his reward.
bbe@Job:15:35 @Evil has made them with child, and they give birth to trouble; and the fruit of their body is shame for themselves.
bbe@Job:16:7 @But now he has overcome me with weariness and fear, and I am in the grip of all my trouble.
bbe@Job:16:8 @It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.
bbe@Job:16:9 @I am broken by his wrath, and his hate has gone after me; he has made his teeth sharp against me: my haters are looking on me with cruel eyes;
bbe@Job:16:10 @Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.
bbe@Job:16:12 @I was in comfort, but I have been broken up by his hands; he has taken me by the neck, shaking me to bits; he has put me up as a mark for his arrows.
bbe@Job:17:1 @My spirit is broken, my days are ended, the last resting-place is ready for me.
bbe@Job:17:3 @Be pleased, now, to be responsible for me to yourself; for there is no other who will put his hand in mine.
bbe@Job:17:5 @As for him who is false to his friend for a reward, light will be cut off from the eyes of his children.
bbe@Job:17:6 @He has made me a word of shame to the peoples; I have become a mark for their sport.
bbe@Job:17:7 @My eyes have become dark because of my pain, and all my body is wasted to a shade.
bbe@Job:17:8 @The upright are surprised at this, and he who has done no wrong is troubled because of the evil-doers.
bbe@Job:17:9 @Still the upright keeps on his way, and he who has clean hands gets new strength.
bbe@Job:17:11 @My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the desires of my heart.
bbe@Job:17:13 @If I am waiting for the underworld as my house, if I have made my bed in the dark;
bbe@Job:18:3 @Why do we seem as beasts in your eyes, and as completely without knowledge?
bbe@Job:18:4 @But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?
bbe@Job:18:13 @His skin is wasted by disease, and his body is food for the worst of diseases.
bbe@Job:18:14 @He is pulled out of his tent where he was safe, and he is taken away to the king of fears.
bbe@Job:18:19 @He has no offspring or family among his people, and in his living-place there is no one of his name.
bbe@Job:18:20 @At his fate those of the west are shocked, and those of the east are overcome with fear.
bbe@Job:18:21 @Truly, these are the houses of the sinner, and this is the place of him who has no knowledge of God.
bbe@Job:19:5 @If you make yourselves great against me, using my punishment as an argument against me,
bbe@Job:19:6 @Be certain that it is God who has done me wrong, and has taken me in his net.
bbe@Job:19:8 @My way is walled up by him so that I may not go by: he has made my roads dark.
bbe@Job:19:9 @He has put off my glory from me, and taken the crown from my head.
bbe@Job:19:11 @His wrath is burning against me, and I am to him as one of his haters.
bbe@Job:19:13 @He has taken my brothers far away from me; they have seen my fate and have become strange to me.
bbe@Job:19:15 @I am strange to my women-servants, and seem to them as one from another country.
bbe@Job:19:27 @Whom I will see on my side, and not as one strange to me. My heart is broken with desire.
bbe@Job:20:4 @Have you knowledge of this from early times, when man was placed on the earth,
bbe@Job:20:7 @Like the waste from his body he comes to an end for ever: those who have seen him say, Where is he?
bbe@Job:20:9 @The eye which saw him sees him no longer; and his place has no more knowledge of him.
bbe@Job:20:15 @He takes down wealth as food, and sends it up again; it is forced out of his stomach by God.
bbe@Job:20:18 @He is forced to give back the fruit of his work, and may not take it for food; he has no joy in the profit of his trading.
bbe@Job:20:19 @Because he has been cruel to the poor, turning away from them in their trouble; because he has taken a house by force which he did not put up;
bbe@Job:20:24 @He may go in flight from the iron spear, but the arrow from the bow of brass will go through him;
bbe@Job:21:4 @As for me, is my outcry against man? is it then to be wondered at if my spirit is troubled?
bbe@Job:21:11 @They send out their young ones like a flock, and their children have pleasure in the dance,
bbe@Job:21:18 @How frequently are they as dry stems before the wind, or as grass taken away by the storm-wind?
bbe@Job:21:21 @For what interest has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is ended?
bbe@Job:21:25 @And another comes to his end with a bitter soul, without ever tasting good.
bbe@Job:21:30 @How the evil man goes free in the day of trouble, and has salvation in the day of wrath?
bbe@Job:21:31 @Who will make his way clear to his face? and if he has done a thing, who gives him punishment for it?
bbe@Job:21:32 @He is taken to his last resting-place, and keeps watch over it.
bbe@Job:21:33 @The earth of the valley covering his bones is sweet to him, and all men come after him, as there were unnumbered before him.
bbe@Job:22:6 @For you have taken your brother's goods when he was not in your debt, and have taken away the clothing of those who have need of it.
bbe@Job:22:7 @You do not give water to the tired traveller, and from him who has no food you keep back bread.
bbe@Job:22:8 @For it was the man with power who had the land, and the man with an honoured name who was living in it.
bbe@Job:22:9 @You have sent widows away without hearing their cause, and you have taken away the support of the child who has no father.
bbe@Job:22:11 @Your light is made dark so that you are unable to see, and you are covered by a mass of waters.
bbe@Job:22:12 @Is not God as high as heaven? and see the stars, how high they are!
bbe@Job:22:13 @And you say, What knowledge has God? is he able to give decisions through the deep dark?
bbe@Job:22:22 @Be pleased to take teaching from his mouth, and let his words be stored up in your heart.
bbe@Job:23:10 @For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.
bbe@Job:23:14 @For what has been ordered for me by him will be gone through to the end: and his mind is full of such designs.
bbe@Job:23:16 @For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.
bbe@Job:24:3 @They send away the ass of him who has no father, they take the widow's ox for debt.
bbe@Job:24:5 @Like asses in the waste land they go out to their work, looking for food with care; from the waste land they get bread for their children.
bbe@Job:24:9 @The child without a father is forced from its mother's breast, and they take the young children of the poor for debt.
bbe@Job:24:17 @For the middle of the night is as morning to them, they are not troubled by the fear of the dark.
bbe@Job:24:20 @The public place of his town has no more knowledge of him, and his name has gone from the memory of men: he is rooted up like a dead tree
bbe@Job:24:21 @He is not kind to the widow, and he has no pity for her child.
bbe@Job:24:22 @But God by his power gives long life to the strong; he gets up again, though he has no hope of life.
bbe@Job:26:2 @How have you given help to him who has no power! how have you been the salvation of the arm which has no strength!
bbe@Job:26:3 @How have you given teaching to him who has no wisdom, and fully made clear true knowledge!
bbe@Job:26:6 @The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil.
bbe@Job:26:12 @By his power the sea was made quiet; and by his wisdom Rahab was wounded.
bbe@Job:26:13 @By his wind the heavens become bright: by his hand the quickly moving snake was cut through.
bbe@Job:27:2 @By the life of God, who has taken away my right; and of the Ruler of all, who has made my soul bitter;
bbe@Job:27:6 @I will keep it safe, and will not let it go: my heart has nothing to say against any part of my life.
bbe@Job:27:7 @Let my hater be like the evil man, and let him who comes against me be as the sinner.
bbe@Job:27:14 @If his children are increased, it is for the sword; and his offspring have not enough bread.
bbe@Job:27:15 @When those of his house who are still living come to their end by disease, they are not put into the earth, and their widows are not weeping for them.
bbe@Job:27:18 @His house has no more strength than a spider's thread, or a watchman's tent.
bbe@Job:27:19 @He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.
bbe@Job:27:21 @The east wind takes him up and he is gone; he is forced violently out of his place.
bbe@Job:28:1 @Truly there is a mine for silver, and a place where gold is washed out.
bbe@Job:28:2 @Iron is taken out of the earth, and stone is changed into brass by the fire.
bbe@Job:28:5 @As for the earth, bread comes out of it; but under its face it is turned up as if by fire.
bbe@Job:28:6 @Its stones are the place of sapphires, and it has dust of gold.
bbe@Job:28:7 @No bird has knowledge of it, and the hawk's eye has never seen it.
bbe@Job:28:8 @The great beasts have not gone over it, and the cruel lion has not taken that way.
bbe@Job:28:13 @Man has not seen the way to it, and it is not in the land of the living.
bbe@Job:28:17 @Gold and glass are not equal to it in price, and it may not be exchanged for jewels of the best gold.
bbe@Job:28:23 @God has knowledge of the way to it, and of its resting-place;
bbe@Job:28:25 @When he made a weight for the wind, measuring out the waters;
bbe@Job:29:2 @If only I might again be as I was in the months which are past, in the days when God was watching over me!
bbe@Job:29:3 @When his light was shining over my head, and when I went through the dark by his light.
bbe@Job:29:4 @As I was in my flowering years, when my tent was covered by the hand of God;
bbe@Job:29:5 @While the Ruler of all was still with me, and my children were round me;
bbe@Job:29:6 @When my steps were washed with milk, and rivers of oil were flowing out of the rock for me.
bbe@Job:29:11 @For when it came to their ears, men said that I was truly happy; and when their eyes saw, they gave witness to me;
bbe@Job:29:12 @For I was a saviour to the poor when he was crying for help, to the child with no father, and to him who had no supporter.
bbe@Job:29:13 @The blessing of him who was near to destruction came on me, and I put a song of joy into the widow's heart.
bbe@Job:29:14 @I put on righteousness as my clothing, and was full of it; right decisions were to me a robe and a head-dress.
bbe@Job:29:15 @I was eyes to the blind, and feet to him who had no power of walking.
bbe@Job:29:16 @I was a father to the poor, searching out the cause of him who was strange to me.
bbe@Job:29:18 @Then I said, I will come to my end with my children round me, my days will be as the sand in number;
bbe@Job:29:22 @After I had said what was in my mind, they were quiet and let my words go deep into their hearts;
bbe@Job:29:23 @They were waiting for me as for the rain, opening their mouths wide as for the spring rains.
bbe@Job:29:24 @I was laughing at them when they had no hope, and the light of my face was never clouded by their fear.
bbe@Job:29:25 @I took my place as a chief, guiding them on their way, and I was as a king among his army....
bbe@Job:30:3 @They are wasted for need of food, biting the dry earth; their only hope of life is in the waste land.
bbe@Job:30:5 @They are sent out from among their townsmen, men are crying after them as thieves
bbe@Job:30:7 @They make noises like asses among the brushwood; they get together under the thorns.
bbe@Job:30:11 @For he has made loose the cord of my bow, and put me to shame; he has sent down my flag to the earth before me.
bbe@Job:30:13 @They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;
bbe@Job:30:14 @As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.
bbe@Job:30:19 @Truly God has made me low, even to the earth, and I have become like dust
bbe@Job:30:24 @Has not my hand been stretched out in help to the poor? have I not been a saviour to him in his trouble?
bbe@Job:30:25 @Have I not been weeping for the crushed? and was not my soul sad for him who was in need?
bbe@Job:30:26 @For I was looking for good, and evil came; I was waiting for light, and it became dark.
bbe@Job:30:30 @My skin is black and dropping off me; and my bones are burning with the heat of my disease.
bbe@Job:30:31 @And my music has been turned to sorrow, and the sound of my pipe into the noise of weeping.
bbe@Job:31:5 @If I have gone in false ways, or my foot has been quick in working deceit;
bbe@Job:31:6 @(Let me be measured in upright scales, and let God see my righteousness:)
bbe@Job:31:9 @If my heart went after another man's wife, or if I was waiting secretly at my neighbour's door;
bbe@Job:31:10 @Then let my wife give pleasure to another man and let others make use of her body.
bbe@Job:31:11 @For that would be a crime; it would be an act for which punishment would be measured out by the judges:
bbe@Job:31:14 @What then will I do when God comes as my judge? and what answer may I give to his questions?
bbe@Job:31:15 @Did not God make him as well as me? did he not give us life in our mothers' bodies?![[pBiblx2]](/img/pbiblx2_logo3.png){kind=logo}
