lesserot@Job:1:1 @ There was a man in the land of ‘Uz, Job was his name; And this man was perfect and upright, and fearing God, and eschewing evil.

lesserot@Job:1:2 @ And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.

lesserot@Job:1:3 @ And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she–asses, and he had a very great store of servants: so that this man was greater than all the sons of the east.

lesserot@Job:1:4 @ And his sons used to go and prepare a feast in the house of every one on his day; and they sent and invited their three sisters to eat and to drink with them.

lesserot@Job:1:5 @ And it happened, when the days of the feast were gone round, that Job sent and sanctified them, and he then rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt–offerings according to the number of all of them; for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and have renounced God in their heart. In this manner used Job to do all the time.

lesserot@Job:1:6 @ Now it happened on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of them.

lesserot@Job:1:7 @ Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering through it.

lesserot@Job:1:8 @ Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job; for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil?

lesserot@Job:1:9 @ Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?

lesserot@Job:1:10 @ Behold, thou hast indeed placed a fence about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath, on every side: the work of his hands hast thou blessed, and his cattle are far spread out in the land.

lesserot@Job:1:11 @ But stretch only forth thy hand and touch all that he hath, and whether he will not renounce thee to thy face.

lesserot@Job:1:12 @ Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, all that is his be in thy power; only against himself shalt thou not stretch forth thy hand. The Accuser went thereupon away from the presence of the Lord.

lesserot@Job:1:13 @ And it happened on a certain day, when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first–born brother,

lesserot@Job:1:14 @ That a messenger came unto Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the she–asses were feeding beside them:

lesserot@Job:1:15 @ When the Sabeans made an incursion, and took them away, and the young men they slew with the edge of the sword; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.

lesserot@Job:1:16 @ This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, A fire of God fell from heaven, and burnt among the sheep and the young men, and consumed them; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.

lesserot@Job:1:17 @ This one was yet speaking, when another came, and said, The Chaldeans posted themselves in three divisions, and made an inroad against the camels, and took them away, and the young men they slew with the edge of the sword; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.

lesserot@Job:1:18 @ While this one was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in the house of their first–born brother:

lesserot@Job:1:19 @ When, behold, a violent wind came from the direction of the wilderness, and struck against the four corners of the house, so that it fell upon the young men, and they died; and I am escaped, none but myself alone, to tell it unto thee.

lesserot@Job:1:20 @ Then arose Job, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and prostrated himself.

lesserot@Job:1:21 @ And he said, Naked came I out of my mother’s womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; may the name of the Lord be blessed.

lesserot@Job:2:1 @ And it happened on a certain day, when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, that the Accuser also came in the midst of them to present himself before the Lord.

lesserot@Job:2:2 @ Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Whence comest thou now? And the Accuser answered the Lord, and said, From roaming over the earth, and from wandering through it.

lesserot@Job:2:3 @ Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Hast thou directed thy attention toward my servant Job: for there is none like him on the earth, a man perfect and upright, who feareth God, and escheweth evil? and he is still holding fast to his integrity, and thou hast incited me against him, to destroy him without cause.

lesserot@Job:2:4 @ Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Skin for skin: yea, all that a man hath will he give in behalf of his life.

lesserot@Job:2:5 @ But stretch only forth thy hand, and touch his bone and his flesh, and whether he will not renounce thee to thy face.

lesserot@Job:2:6 @ Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, he is in thy hand: only take care of his life.

lesserot@Job:2:7 @ Thereupon went the Accuser forth from the presence of the Lord, and he smote Job with a sore inflammation, from the sole of his foot unto the crown of his head.

lesserot@Job:2:8 @ And took himself a potsherd to scrape himself there with, while he was sitting down among the ashes.

lesserot@Job:2:9 @ Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast to thy integrity? renounce God, and die.

lesserot@Job:2:10 @ But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the worthless women would speak. What? should we accept the good alone, from God, and the evil we should not accept? With all this did Job not sin with his lips.

lesserot@Job:2:11 @ When now the three friends of Job had heard of all this evil that was come over him, they came every one from his own place, Eliphaz the Themanite, and Bildad the Shuchite, and Zophar the Na’amthite; and they met together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.

lesserot@Job:2:12 @ And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and they recognised him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his robe, and strewed dust upon their heads toward heaven.

lesserot@Job:2:13 @ They likewise sat down with him on the ground seven days and seven nights; but no one spoke a word unto him; for they saw that his pain was very great.

lesserot@Job:3:3 @ Oh that the day whereon I was born might perish, and the night when it was said, There hath been a male child conceived.

lesserot@Job:3:5 @ Oh that darkness and the shadow of death might defile it; may a cloud rest upon it; may the blackness of the day terrify it.

lesserot@Job:3:6 @ Yon night––let darkness seize upon it; let it not be united to the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the moon.

lesserot@Job:3:7 @ Lo, may that night be solitary, let no song of joy occur thereon.

lesserot@Job:3:8 @ Let those denounce it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning cry.

lesserot@Job:3:9 @ Let the stars of its twilight be darkened; let it hope for light, and there be none; and let it not behold the eyelids of the morning–dawn;

lesserot@Job:3:10 @ Because God closed not against me the doors of the womb, and thus concealed trouble from my eyes.

lesserot@Job:3:11 @ Why did I not die from the womb, and was I not born merely to perish at once?

lesserot@Job:3:12 @ Wherefore were knees ready to receive me? and for what purpose were breasts there that I might suck?

lesserot@Job:3:13 @ For now should I be lying still and be quiet; I should sleep: then would I be at rest,

lesserot@Job:3:14 @ With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build up ruined places for themselves;

lesserot@Job:3:15 @ Or with princes possessing gold, who fill their houses with silver;

lesserot@Job:3:16 @ Or as an untimely birth, hidden I should not exist; as infants that never have seen the light;

lesserot@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease from troubling; and where the exhausted weary are at rest;

lesserot@Job:3:18 @ the prisoners repose together, they hear no more the taskmaster’s voice.

lesserot@Job:3:19 @ The small with the great is there, and the servant free from his master.

lesserot@Job:3:20 @ Wherefore giveth He now light to the labor–laden, and life unto the bitter in soul?

lesserot@Job:3:22 @ Who would rejoice even to exulting, who would be glad could they but find a grave?

lesserot@Job:3:24 @ For before my food cometh my groaning, and like the water are poured forth my loud complaints.

lesserot@Job:3:25 @ Because what I greatly dreaded is come upon me, and what I apprehended is come unto me.

lesserot@Job:4:1 @ Then answered Eliphaz the Themanite, and said,

lesserot@Job:4:2 @ If we essay to address a word to thee, wilt thou be wearied? yet who is able to refrain from speaking?

lesserot@Job:4:3 @ Behold, thou hast corrected many, and weak hands thou wast wont to strengthen.

lesserot@Job:4:5 @ Yet now, when it cometh to thee, thou art wearied: it toucheth even thee, and thou art terrified.

lesserot@Job:4:6 @ Is not then thy fear of God still thy confidence, thy hope equal to the integrity of thy ways?

lesserot@Job:4:7 @ Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous destroyed?

lesserot@Job:4:8 @ Even as I have seen, that those who plough wrong–doing, and sow trouble, have to reap the same.

lesserot@Job:4:9 @ Before the breathing of God they perish, and before the breath of his nostrils they come to their end.

lesserot@Job:4:10 @ The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

lesserot@Job:4:11 @ The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness have to scatter themselves abroad.

lesserot@Job:4:12 @ But to me a word came by stealth, and my ear took in a scarcely perceptible whisper thereof.

lesserot@Job:4:13 @ In intense thoughts out of visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men:

lesserot@Job:4:15 @ Then flitted a spirit past before my face; the hair of my body stood up:

lesserot@Job:4:16 @ It stood still, but I could not recognize its form; a figure was before my eyes, a slight whisper, then a voice I heard, saying,

lesserot@Job:4:18 @ Behold, in his servants he putteth no trust, and his angels he chargeth with folly:

lesserot@Job:4:19 @ How much less in those that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed till they come to be eaten by the moth?

lesserot@Job:4:20 @ From morning to evening are they broken to pieces: without laying it they perish for ever.

lesserot@Job:4:21 @ Behold, their excellency which is in them is torn away: they die, and this without wisdom.

lesserot@Job:5:1 @ Do but call: is there one that will answer thee? and to whom of the saints wilt thou turn thyself?

lesserot@Job:5:2 @ For vexation will prove death to a foolish man, and jealousy will slay the simple.

lesserot@Job:5:3 @ I have myself seen the foolish taking root; but I suddenly held his habitation as accursed.

lesserot@Job:5:4 @ His children are far from help, and men crush them in the gate, with no one to deliver them.

lesserot@Job:5:5 @ whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber snatcheth eagerly after their substance.

lesserot@Job:5:6 @ For wrong doth not come forth out of the dust, neither doth trouble grow up out of the ground;

lesserot@Job:5:7 @ But man is born unto trouble, as young birds take up their flight.

lesserot@Job:5:9 @ Who doth great things which are unsearchable, marvelous things till they are without number;

lesserot@Job:5:10 @ Who giveth rain upon the surface of the earth, and sendeth out waters over the face of the fields;

lesserot@Job:5:11 @ To set up the lowly on high, that those who mourn may rise high to happiness;

lesserot@Job:5:12 @ who frustrateth the plans of the crafty, so that their hands cannot execute their well–devised counsel;

lesserot@Job:5:13 @ Who catcheth the wise in their own craftiness; and the advise of the perverse is hastened on headlong;

lesserot@Job:5:14 @ By day they meet with darkness, and as though it were night they grope about in the noon of day;

lesserot@Job:5:15 @ But who saveth from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty, the needy one:

lesserot@Job:5:16 @ And so cometh to the indigent hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.

lesserot@Job:5:17 @ Behold, happy is the man whom God admonisheth: despise then not the correction of the Almighty.

lesserot@Job:5:18 @ For he it is that woundeth, and bindeth up: he smiteth, and his hands do heal.

lesserot@Job:5:19 @ In six distresses will he deliver thee; and in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

lesserot@Job:5:20 @ In famine he redeemeth thee from death; and in war from the power of the sword.

lesserot@Job:5:21 @ Against the scourge of the tongue shall thou he hidden; and thou needest not be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

lesserot@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and famine canst thou laugh; and thou needest not have any fear of the beasts of the earth.

lesserot@Job:5:23 @ For with the stones of the field shalt thou have thy covenant; and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

lesserot@Job:5:24 @ And thou shalt know that there is peace in thy tent; and thou wilt look over thy habitation, and shalt miss nothing.

lesserot@Job:5:25 @ And thou shalt know that thy seed is numerous, and thy offspring as the herbage of the earth.

lesserot@Job:5:26 @ Thon wilt go in a ripe age unto the grave, as a shock of corn is carried home in its season.

lesserot@Job:5:27 @ Behold this, we have searched it out, so it is: hear it, and do thou note it well for thyself.

lesserot@Job:6:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:6:2 @ Oh that my vexation could be truly weighed, and my calamity; oh that men might lift it up in the balances at once!

lesserot@Job:6:3 @ For now it is already heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore are my words confused.

lesserot@Job:6:4 @ For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof my spirit drinketh it: the terrors of God set themselves in array against me.

lesserot@Job:6:5 @ Doth the wild ass bray over the grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?

lesserot@Job:6:6 @ Is ever tasteless food eaten without salt? or is there any flavor in the white of an egg?

lesserot@Job:6:7 @ My soul refuseth to touch them: they are unto me like disgusting food.

lesserot@Job:6:8 @ Oh that some one would grant the accomplishment of my request; and that God would grant me the fulfillment of my hope!

lesserot@Job:6:9 @ Yea, that it would please God that he might crush me: that he would let loose his hand, and make an end of me!

lesserot@Job:6:10 @ Then would this be still my comfort; yea, I would rejoice in my pain while be would not spare: that I have not gainsaid the commands of the Holy One.––

lesserot@Job:6:12 @ Is the strength of stones my strength? or is my flesh brazen?

lesserot@Job:6:13 @ Truly, am I not without my help in me? and is not wise counsel driven far away from me?

lesserot@Job:6:14 @ As though I were one who refuseth kindness to his friend, and forsaketh the fear of the Almighty:

lesserot@Job:6:15 @ My brothers are treacherous as a brook, like flowing brooks they pass along;

lesserot@Job:6:16 @ Which are made turbid by reason of the ice, wherein the snow hideth itself;

lesserot@Job:6:17 @ At the time when they feel the warmth, they vanish; when it is hot, they are quenched out of their place.

lesserot@Job:6:18 @ The paths of their course wind themselves along; they go in the wilderness and are lost.

lesserot@Job:6:19 @ The caravans of Thema look hither, the travelling companies Sheba hope for them;

lesserot@Job:6:20 @ But they stand ashamed because they had trusted; they come thither and are made to blush.

lesserot@Job:6:22 @ Have I then ever said, Give me something, and out of your property offer a bribe in my behalf?

lesserot@Job:6:23 @ And deliver me from the hand of the adversary? and redeem from the hand of tyrants?

lesserot@Job:6:24 @ Teach me, and I will indeed remain silent; and wherein I erred give me to understand.

lesserot@Job:6:26 @ Do ye think to reprove words, and as wind the speeches of one that is despairing?

lesserot@Job:6:27 @ Yea, ye would cast any thing upon the fatherless, and ye would dig a pit against your friend.

lesserot@Job:6:28 @ But now, if it please you, turn yourselves toward me, and whether I would lie before your face.

lesserot@Job:6:29 @ Reflect again, I pray you, there will be no wrong: yea, reflect once more, my righteousness therein.

lesserot@Job:6:30 @ Is there any wrong on my tongue? or should my palate not understand what is iniquitous?

lesserot@Job:7:1 @ Is there not a limited time of service to a mortal upon the earth? Are not his days also like the days of a hired laborer?

lesserot@Job:7:2 @ As a servant eagerly longeth for the shadow, and as a hired laborer hopeth for his reward:

lesserot@Job:7:4 @ When I He down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am wearied with tossings about till the dawn of day.

lesserot@Job:7:6 @ My days hasten away more swiftly than a weaver’s shuttle, and they come to an end in the absence of hope.

lesserot@Job:7:8 @ The eye of him that seeth me now will not behold me again: thy eyes upon me, and I am no more.

lesserot@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud vanisheth and passeth away: so will he that goeth down to the nether world not come up again.

lesserot@Job:7:10 @ He will return no more to his house, and his place will not recognize him any more.

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

lesserot@Job:7:13 @ For should I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall help me bear my complaint:

lesserot@Job:7:14 @ Then wouldst thou frighten me with dreams, and with visions wouldst thou terrify me;

lesserot@Job:7:15 @ So that my soul would choose strangling, death rather than these limbs of mine.

lesserot@Job:7:16 @ I loathe it; I cannot live for ever: let me alone; for my days are but nought.

lesserot@Job:7:17 @ What is the mortal, that thou shouldst make him great? and that thou shouldst direct thy heart toward him?

lesserot@Job:7:20 @ If I have sinned, what can I cause unto thee, O thou Guardian of men? why hast thou set me as an object for thee to strike at, so that I am become a burden to myself?

lesserot@Job:7:21 @ And why wilt thou not forgive my transgression, and let my iniquity pass away? for soon must I lie down in the dust; and thou wilt seek for me, but I shall be no more.

lesserot@Job:8:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

lesserot@Job:8:2 @ How long wilt thou speak these things? and like a mighty wind be the words of thy mouth?

lesserot@Job:8:3 @ Should God pervert justice? or should the Almighty pervert righteousness?

lesserot@Job:8:4 @ If thy children have sinned against him, then did he send them off through the means of their transgression.

lesserot@Job:8:5 @ If thou wilt earnestly seek for God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;

lesserot@Job:8:6 @ If thou become pure and upright: surely then will he watch over thee, and restore thy righteous habitation.

lesserot@Job:8:8 @ For ask, I pray thee, of an earlier generation, and prepare thyself to the research of their fathers; ––

lesserot@Job:8:10 @ Behold, these will truly teach thee, they will speak unto thee, and out of their very heart will they bring forth words:

lesserot@Job:8:11 @ Can the bulrush shoot upward without mire? can the meadow–grass grow up without water?

lesserot@Job:8:12 @ It is yet in its greenness, not yet cut down, when it withereth before any other grass.

lesserot@Job:8:13 @ So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hope of the hypocrite will perish:

lesserot@Job:8:14 @ whose trust will be cut off, and but a spider’s web is that in which he confideth.

lesserot@Job:8:15 @ He leaneth against his house, but it shall not stand: he layeth fast hold on it, but it shall not remain erect.

lesserot@Job:8:16 @ He is in full vigor before the sun, and over his garden his shoots go forth.

lesserot@Job:8:17 @ His roots are twisted about a stoneheap, he selecteth a place of stones.

lesserot@Job:8:18 @ But when men destroy him from his place, then will it deny him, saying, I have never seen thee.

lesserot@Job:8:19 @ Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the dust others will grow up.

lesserot@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not reject a perfect man, and will not hold fast by their hand the evil–doers:

lesserot@Job:8:21 @ Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with joyful shouting.

lesserot@Job:8:22 @ They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the tent of the wicked shall be no more.

lesserot@Job:9:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:9:3 @ If he were desirous to enter into a contest with him, he could not give him one answer out of a thousand.

lesserot@Job:9:4 @ He is wise of heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and escaped unscathed?

lesserot@Job:9:5 @ who removeth mountains, and they know it not, yea, when he overturneth them in his anger;

lesserot@Job:9:6 @ Who shaketh the earth loose out of her place, that her pillars tremble;

lesserot@Job:9:7 @ Who speaketh to the sun, and he shineth not, and around the stars he placeth a seal;

lesserot@Job:9:8 @ Who spread out the heavens by himself alone, and treadeth upon the hillocks of the sea;

lesserot@Job:9:9 @ Who made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers the south;

lesserot@Job:9:11 @ Lo, were he to go past by me, I should not see him; and were he to pass along, I should not perceive him.

lesserot@Job:9:12 @ Behold, were he to snatch aught away, who could hold him back? who would say unto him, What dost thou?

lesserot@Job:9:13 @ God will not withdraw his anger: beneath him sink down the helpers of the proud.

lesserot@Job:9:14 @ How much less then could I answer him, and select my words with him?

lesserot@Job:9:16 @ Or were I to call, and he would answer me, I could yet not believe that he would give ear unto my voice––

lesserot@Job:9:17 @ He that bruiseth me with tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without a cause.

lesserot@Job:9:18 @ He suffereth me not to recover my breath; but feedeth me overmuch with bitter things.

lesserot@Job:9:19 @ If it regard strength, lo, he is the powerful; and if justice, who will cite him for me to appear?

lesserot@Job:9:22 @ One thing is, therefore have I said it, The innocent and the wicked he bringeth to their end.

lesserot@Job:9:23 @ If a scourge should slay suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the guiltless.

lesserot@Job:9:24 @ Is a land given up into the hand of the wicked? he covereth the faces of its judges: if this be not the truth, who is it then?

lesserot@Job:9:25 @ And my days pass swifter than a runner: they flee away, they see no happiness,

lesserot@Job:9:26 @ They hasten along like pirate ships: like the eagle that stoopeth down upon his food.

lesserot@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my sorrowful countenance, and recover my cheerfulness:

lesserot@Job:9:28 @ O then would I be in dread of all my pains; I know that thou wilt not declare me innocent.

lesserot@Job:9:29 @ I must ever be guilty: why then should I fatigue myself for nought?

lesserot@Job:9:30 @ If I were to wash myself in snow–water, to cleanse myself in the purity of my hands:

lesserot@Job:9:31 @ Even then wouldst thou plunge me in the ditch, that my own clothes would render me abhorred.

lesserot@Job:9:32 @ For he is not a man, like me, that I could answer him, that we should enter together into a contest.

lesserot@Job:9:33 @ There is no one who can decide between us, who could lay his hand upon us both.

lesserot@Job:9:35 @ Then would I speak, and not fear him; for the like I feel not within me.

lesserot@Job:10:1 @ My soul is disgusted with my life; I will give free vent to my complaint over myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

lesserot@Job:10:3 @ Is it well for thee that thou shouldst oppress, that thou shouldst reject the labor of thy hands, and shed light upon the counsel of the wicked?

lesserot@Job:10:5 @ Are thy days as the days of a mortal, or are thy years as the days of a man,

lesserot@Job:10:6 @ That thou inquirest after my iniquity, and searchest after my sin?

lesserot@Job:10:7 @ Still it is within thy knowledge that I am not wicked, and there is none that can deliver me out of thy hand.

lesserot@Job:10:9 @ Remember, I beseech thee, that as though I were clay hast thou made me; and wilt thou cause me to return again unto the dust?

lesserot@Job:10:10 @ Behold, like milk didst thou pour me out, and like cheese didst thou curdle me.

lesserot@Job:10:11 @ With skin and flesh didst thou clothe me, and with bones and sinews didst thou cover me.

lesserot@Job:10:12 @ Life and kindness didst thou grant me, and thy providence watched over my spirit.

lesserot@Job:10:13 @ And yet these things hadst thou treasured up in thy heart: I know that this was within thee.

lesserot@Job:10:14 @ If I have sinned, then dost thou watch me, and from my iniquity thou wilt not declare me guiltless.

lesserot@Job:10:15 @ If I be wicked, woe unto me: and if I be righteous, I can still not lift up my head; I am sated with disgrace, and ever seeing my affliction;

lesserot@Job:10:18 @ Wherefore then didst thou bring me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had perished, and that no eye had seen me!

lesserot@Job:10:19 @ That I were as though I had not been,––had been borne from the womb to the grave.

lesserot@Job:10:20 @ Lo! my days are but few: cease, then, withdraw from me, that I may recover my cheerfulness a little.

lesserot@Job:10:21 @ Before I go, and return not, to the land of darkness and the shadow of death,

lesserot@Job:10:22 @ A land of utter gloom, as of the darkness of the shadow of death, without any order, and the light of which is like utter gloom.

lesserot@Job:11:1 @ Then answered Zophar the Na’amathite, and said.

lesserot@Job:11:2 @ Shall a multitude of words not be answered? and is it so that a man full of talk shall be deemed in the right?

lesserot@Job:11:3 @ Thy inventions are to bring men to silence; and when thou utterest thy mocking no one is to cause thee to feel abashed!

lesserot@Job:11:5 @ But oh that God would but speak, and open his lips against thee;

lesserot@Job:11:6 @ And that he would declare unto thee the secrets of wisdom; for it is double to that which is really in our possession: and thou wouldst experience that God overlooketh unto thee much of thy iniquity.

lesserot@Job:11:7 @ Canst thou find out the experience of God? or canst thou find unto the utmost limit of the Almighty?

lesserot@Job:11:8 @ It is as high as heaven; what canst thou effect? it is deeper than the nether world; what canst thou know?

lesserot@Job:11:9 @ Longer than the earth is its measure, and broader than the sea.

lesserot@Job:11:10 @ If he pass by, and surrender, and call together an assembly, who can hinder him?

lesserot@Job:11:11 @ For he knoweth the men of vanity: he seeth the wrong–doer and him who considereth not;

lesserot@Job:11:12 @ And the heartless who acquireth intelligence, and him who is the colt of the wild ass who is transformed into a man.

lesserot@Job:11:13 @ If thou truly direct thy heart, and spread out thy hands toward him: ––

lesserot@Job:11:15 @ For then canst thou lift up thy face free from blemish: yea, thou wilt stand steadfast, and needest not to fear;

lesserot@Job:11:17 @ And brighter than the noon of day will thy earthly existence arise; and thy obscurity will be like thy morning.

lesserot@Job:11:18 @ And thou wilt feel trust, because there is hope: yea, thou wilt search about carefully, and thou wilt lie down in safety.

lesserot@Job:11:19 @ Also thou wilt stretch thyself out, with none to make thee afraid; and many will entreat thy favor.

lesserot@Job:11:20 @ But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and the means of escape will vanish from them, and their hope shall be the breathing out of their soul.

lesserot@Job:12:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:12:2 @ Truly ye are indeed the people, and with you wisdom must die out.

lesserot@Job:12:3 @ I also have sense like you; I do not fall short compared with you: and who possesseth not such things as these?

lesserot@Job:12:4 @ I am as one laughed at by his friend, who calleth upon God, while he answered him: a laughing–stock though righteous and innocent.

lesserot@Job:12:5 @ To the unfortunate there is given contempt–– according to the thoughts of him that is at ease–– prepared for those whose foot slippeth.

lesserot@Job:12:6 @ Prosperous are the tents of robbers, and security is given to those that provoke God. to him who carrieth his god in his hand.

lesserot@Job:12:7 @ Yet, do only ask of the beasts, and they will instruct thee; and the fowls of the heavens, and they will tell it thee;

lesserot@Job:12:8 @ Or speak to the earth, and she will instruct thee; and the fishes of the sea will inform thee

lesserot@Job:12:9 @ Who knoweth not through all these that the hand of the Lord hath wrought this?

lesserot@Job:12:10 @ in whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all the bodies of men?

lesserot@Job:12:11 @ Doth not the ear try words, as the palate tasteth food for itself?

lesserot@Job:12:12 @ So It with the ancients wisdom, and with length of days understanding,

lesserot@Job:12:14 @ Behold, he pulleth down, and there can be no rebuilding: he locketh upon a man, and there can be no opening,

lesserot@Job:12:15 @ Behold, he restraineth the waters, and they dry up; or he suffereth them to flow, and they overturn the earth.

lesserot@Job:12:16 @ With him are strength and counsel: his are the deceived and the deceiver.

lesserot@Job:12:17 @ He leadeth counsellors away bereft of sense, and maketh the judges fools.

lesserot@Job:12:18 @ He looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth a girdle around their loins.

lesserot@Job:12:19 @ He leadeth priests away bereft of sense, and the powerful he causeth to walk on crooked paths.

lesserot@Job:12:20 @ He removeth the speech from trusty speakers, and taketh away the intelligence of the aged.

lesserot@Job:12:21 @ He poureth contempt upon princes, and the belt of the mighty be looseneth.

lesserot@Job:12:22 @ He layeth open deep things from the midst of darkness, and bringeth out unto light the shadow of death.

lesserot@Job:12:23 @ He permitteth the nations to become great, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth out the nations, and leadeth them away.

lesserot@Job:12:24 @ He taketh away the sense of the chiefs of the people of the land, and causeth them to wander astray in a wilderness when there is no way.

lesserot@Job:12:25 @ They grope in the dark without light, and he causeth them to wander astray like a drunken man.

lesserot@Job:13:1 @ Lo, all hath my eye seen, my ear hath heard and noted it for itself;

lesserot@Job:13:3 @ However, I would gladly speak to the Almighty; and to argue with God do I desire.

lesserot@Job:13:5 @ Oh, who would grant that ye might keep a profound silences! and it would he accounted unto you as wisdom.

lesserot@Job:13:6 @ Do hearken but to my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

lesserot@Job:13:8 @ Will ye show him undue favor, when ye contend for God?

lesserot@Job:13:9 @ Will it be well if he should search you out? or as one overreacheth another mortal, do ye expect to overreach him?

lesserot@Job:13:10 @ He will surely reprove you, if in secret you show him undue favor.

lesserot@Job:13:12 @ The things you remember are mere proverbs of ashes, your high–places are high–places of clay.

lesserot@Job:13:15 @ Lo, though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: only I will argue my own ways before him.

lesserot@Job:13:16 @ Even he will come to my assistance; for a hypocrite cannot come before him.

lesserot@Job:13:19 @ Who is he that will contend with me? for now, if I keep silence, I must perish.

lesserot@Job:13:20 @ Only two things do not unto me: then will I not hide myself from thy presence.

lesserot@Job:13:22 @ Then call thou, and I will answer; or let me speak, and do thou reply to me.

lesserot@Job:13:24 @ Wherefore wilt thou hide thy face, and regard me as an enemy unto thee?

lesserot@Job:13:26 @ That thou writest bitter decrees against me, and assignest unto me the iniquities of my youth;

lesserot@Job:13:27 @ And thou puttest my feet in the stocks, and watchest narrowly all my paths; settest for thyself a mark upon the soles of my feet?

lesserot@Job:13:28 @ And yet the body decayeth like a rotten thing, as a garment that the moth hath eaten.

lesserot@Job:14:2 @ Like a flower he cometh forth, and is cut down: and he fleeth like a shadow, and remaineth not.

lesserot@Job:14:3 @ And yet on such a one dost thou open thy eyes, and me thou bringest into judgment with thee?

lesserot@Job:14:5 @ Seeing that his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, that thou hast set his bounds which he cannot pass:

lesserot@Job:14:6 @ Turn thyself from him that he may recover from his pain, and be able to enjoy like a hired laborer his day.

lesserot@Job:14:7 @ For there is hope for the tree: if it be cut down, it may still sprout again, while its young shoot will not cease.

lesserot@Job:14:8 @ If even its root become old in the earth, and its stock die in the dust:

lesserot@Job:14:9 @ Yet through the scent of water will it flourish, and produce boughs as though It were newly planted.

lesserot@Job:14:10 @ But man dieth, and lieth powerless: yea, the son of earth departeth––and where is he?

lesserot@Job:14:11 @ The waters run off from the sea, and the river faileth and drieth up:

lesserot@Job:14:12 @ So doth man lie down, and riseth not: till the heavens be no more, they will not awake, and will not be roused out of their sleep.

lesserot@Job:14:13 @ Oh who would grant that thou mightest hide me in the nether world, that thou mightest conceal me, until thy wrath be appeased, that thou mightest set for me a fixed time, and remember me then!

lesserot@Job:14:14 @ Or, when a man dieth, will he live again? all the days of my time of service would I then wait, till my release were come.

lesserot@Job:14:15 @ Do thou call, and I will truly answer thee: have a desire for the work of thy hands.

lesserot@Job:14:19 @ The water weareth out stones; thou sweepest away their fragments the dust of the earth: and so thou destroyest the hope of man.

lesserot@Job:14:20 @ Thou assailest him with might without ceasing, till he passeth away: thou changest his countenance, and sendest him off.

lesserot@Job:14:21 @ His children acquire honor, but he knoweth it not: and they are esteemed little, but he perceiveth nothing of them.

lesserot@Job:15:1 @ Then answered Eliphaz the Themanite, and said,

lesserot@Job:15:2 @ Should a wise man utter windy knowledge, and fill his inward parts with the east wind?

lesserot@Job:15:3 @ Should he reason with a speech which availeth nothing? and with words in which there is no profit?

lesserot@Job:15:4 @ Yea, thou truly makest void the fear, and diminishest devotion before God.

lesserot@Job:15:5 @ For thy iniquity teacheth thy mouth, so that thou choosest the language of the crafty.

lesserot@Job:15:6 @ Thy own mouth must condemn thee, but not I: yea, thy own lips will testify against thee.

lesserot@Job:15:7 @ Wast thou born as the first man? or wast thou brought forth before the hills?

lesserot@Job:15:8 @ Hast thou listened to the secret counsel of God? and is wisdom therefore of little esteem with thee?

lesserot@Job:15:10 @ Both the grayheaded and the very aged are among us,–– richer than thy father in days.

lesserot@Job:15:11 @ Are the divine consolations too little for thee? and the word that was so mild with thee?

lesserot@Job:15:12 @ Whither doth thy heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes gaze at?

lesserot@Job:15:14 @ What is man, that he should be pure? and that he who is born of woman should be declared righteous?

lesserot@Job:15:15 @ Behold, in his holy ones he putteth no trust; and the heavens are not pure in his eyes:

lesserot@Job:15:16 @ How much more then the abominable and corrupt, the man who drinketh like water wrong–doing?

lesserot@Job:15:17 @ I will instruct thee, hear me; and what I have seen will I relate;

lesserot@Job:15:18 @ Which wise men have ever told, and have not concealed, as they obtained it from their fathers;

lesserot@Job:15:19 @ Unto whom alone the earth was given, and into whose midst no stranger ever entered.

lesserot@Job:15:20 @ All his days is the wicked plagued with pain, and the number of years which are laid by for the tyrant.

lesserot@Job:15:21 @ A sound of terrors is in his ears: during peace will the waster come over him.

lesserot@Job:15:22 @ He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is looked for by the sword.

lesserot@Job:15:23 @ He wandereth abroad for bread, Where is it? he knoweth that there is ready at his hand the day of darkness.

lesserot@Job:15:24 @ Distress and anguish terrify him: they assail him with might, as a king prepared for the battle.

lesserot@Job:15:25 @ Because he had stretched out against God his hand, and strengthened himself against the Almighty;

lesserot@Job:15:26 @ he had run against him, with an neck, with the thick roundings of his bucklers;

lesserot@Job:15:27 @ Because he had covered his face with his fat, and had made thick folds of fat on his flanks;

lesserot@Job:15:28 @ And he dwelt in abandoned cities, in houses which none inhabited, which were destined to be ruinous heaps.

lesserot@Job:15:29 @ will he not remain rich, neither will his wealth endure, nor will he attain their perfection on earth.

lesserot@Job:15:30 @ He will never depart out of darkness: the flame shall dry up his shoots, and he will depart by the breath of God’s mouth.

lesserot@Job:15:31 @ Let him that goeth astray not trust in vanity; for vanity will be what he obtaineth thereby.

lesserot@Job:15:32 @ Even before his time will it be overfull, and his branches will not be green.

lesserot@Job:15:33 @ He will shake off like the vine his unripe grapes, and cast off like the olive his blossoms.

lesserot@Job:15:34 @ For the assembly of hypocrites will remain desolate, and fire will consume the tents of bribery.

lesserot@Job:15:35 @ They conceive trouble, and bring forth wrong–doing, and their body prepareth deceit.

lesserot@Job:16:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:16:2 @ I have heard many things such as these: troublesome comforters are ye all.

lesserot@Job:16:3 @ Shall there be any end to words of wind? or what compelleth thee that thou shouldst answer?

lesserot@Job:16:4 @ I also could well speak as ye do: if your soul were but in my soul’s stead, I could overwhelm you with words, and could shake my head at you.

lesserot@Job:16:5 @ But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the condolence of my lips should restrain.

lesserot@Job:16:7 @ But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

lesserot@Job:16:8 @ And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, they are my witnesses; and my leanness riseth up for me, giveth its testimony to my face.

lesserot@Job:16:9 @ In his wrath he teareth me to pieces, and assaileth me: he gnasheth over me with his teeth; my adversary sendeth threatening looks at me.

lesserot@Job:16:10 @ They now open wide against me their mouth; reproachfully they smite my cheek: altogether do they assemble against me.

lesserot@Job:16:11 @ God hath surrendered me to the unjust, and cast me down into the hands of the wicked.

lesserot@Job:16:12 @ I was at ease, but he hath crushed me; he hath also grasped me by the neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up unto himself as a mark;

lesserot@Job:16:13 @ His archers encompass me round about; he cleaveth my reins sunder, and doth not pity; he poureth out upon the ground my gall;

lesserot@Job:16:14 @ He breaketh me down with breach upon breach; he runneth against me like a mighty man.

lesserot@Job:16:15 @ Sackcloth have I sewed upon my skin, and my horn I roll in the dust.

lesserot@Job:16:16 @ My face gloweth from weeping, and on my eyelids resteth the shadow of death:

lesserot@Job:16:19 @ Even now, behold, my witness is in the heavens, and one that testifieth for me is on high.

lesserot@Job:16:21 @ And oh that a man might plead with God, as one son of earth with the other!

lesserot@Job:16:22 @ For when the numbered years are passed, then must I travel a path whence I cannot return.

lesserot@Job:17:1 @ My spirit is broken, my days are cut short, the grave is ready for me.

lesserot@Job:17:2 @ Yet truly those that mock are with me, and on their offendings must my eye rest.

lesserot@Job:17:3 @ And thou, attend, I pray thee, be my surety with thyself: who else is there that would strike hands with me?

lesserot@Job:17:4 @ For thou hast concealed their heart against intelligence: therefore art thou not exalted.

lesserot@Job:17:5 @ Every one of them speaketh deceptively to his friends: may also the eyes of his children fail.

lesserot@Job:17:6 @ And he hath placed me here as a by–word unto nations; and I become openly as a place of abomination.

lesserot@Job:17:7 @ Therefore is my eye dim from vexation, and my limbs are all of them like a shadow.

lesserot@Job:17:8 @ Upright men must be astonished at this, and the innocent must arouse himself against the hypocrite.

lesserot@Job:17:9 @ Yet will the righteous hold firmly on to his way; and he that is clean of hands will acquire additional strength.

lesserot@Job:17:11 @ My days are past, my resolves are broken off, ––the possessions of my heart.

lesserot@Job:17:12 @ These would change the night into day, the light as near in the presence of darkness.––

lesserot@Job:17:13 @ When I hope for the nether world as my house; in the darkness have I spread my couch;

lesserot@Job:17:14 @ When I call to corruption, Thou art my father: Thou art my mother, and my sister, to the worms.

lesserot@Job:17:15 @ Ay, where is then my hope? as for my hope, who will see it?

lesserot@Job:17:16 @ Let then my limbs sink down to the nether world: truly in the dust alone there is rest for all.

lesserot@Job:18:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

lesserot@Job:18:2 @ When will ye at length put an end to words? Come to an understanding, and afterward let us speak.

lesserot@Job:18:4 @ Thou, the one that teareth himself to pieces in his anger–– shall for thy sake the earth be forsaken, and the rock be moved away out of its place?

lesserot@Job:18:5 @ Ah, truly the light of the wicked will be quenched, and the spark of his fire shall not give light.

lesserot@Job:18:6 @ The light becometh dark in his tent, and his lamp will be quenched above him.

lesserot@Job:18:8 @ For he is driven into the net by his own feet, and he taketh his walk upon a snare.

lesserot@Job:18:9 @ The trap will seize him by the heel, and the robber will prevail over him.

lesserot@Job:18:10 @ The cord is hidden for him in the ground, and a trap is set for him on the pathway.

lesserot@Job:18:11 @ All around do terrors scare him, and chase him as he walketh along.

lesserot@Job:18:13 @ It will devour the limbs of his body: yea, the first–born of death will devour his limbs.

lesserot@Job:18:14 @ Then will be plucked up out of his tent his confidence, and will urge him forward to the king of terrors.

lesserot@Job:18:15 @ It will dwell in his tent, because it is no more his: there will be strewed sulphur on his habitation.

lesserot@Job:18:16 @ Beneath, his roots will be dried up, and above will his boughs he cut away.

lesserot@Job:18:17 @ His resemblance vanisheth from the earth, and no name remaineth for him in the streets.

lesserot@Job:18:18 @ Men will thrust him out from light into darkness, and out of the world will they drive him.

lesserot@Job:18:19 @ He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any that escapeth in the places of his sojourning.

lesserot@Job:18:20 @ Because of his day are they that come after him astonished, and they that went before are seized with shuddering.

lesserot@Job:18:21 @ Yea, such are the dwellings of the unjust, and this is the place of one that knew not God.

lesserot@Job:19:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:19:3 @ These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed when ye show yourselves as strangers to me.

lesserot@Job:19:6 @ Then know for certain that God hath bent me down, and hath laid his net all around me.

lesserot@Job:19:7 @ Behold, I cry out concerning the violence, but I am not answered: I entreat aloud, but there is no justice.

lesserot@Job:19:8 @ My road hath he fenced up, so that I cannot pass out; and on my paths he placeth darkness.

lesserot@Job:19:9 @ My glory hath he stripped from me, and removed the crown of my head.

lesserot@Job:19:10 @ He hath pulled me down on every side, and I am going hence; and he hath rooted up like a tree my hope.

lesserot@Job:19:11 @ He hath also kindled against me his wrath, and he counteth me with himself as one of his adversaries.

lesserot@Job:19:12 @ Altogether come on his troops, and make level against me their way, and encamp round about my tent.

lesserot@Job:19:13 @ My brothers hath he removed far from me, and my acquaintance are entirely estranged from me.

lesserot@Job:19:15 @ Ye that sojourn in my house, and my maid–servants, regard me as a stranger: an alien am I become in their eyes.

lesserot@Job:19:16 @ I call for my servant, but he will not answer, though I were to entreat him with my mouth.

lesserot@Job:19:17 @ My breath is become nauseous to my wife, and my caressing, to the children of my own body.

lesserot@Job:19:18 @ Yea, children even despise me: I rise up, but they speak against me.

lesserot@Job:19:20 @ To my skin and to my flesh my bones do cleave, and I must sustain myself with the gums of my teeth.

lesserot@Job:19:21 @ Spare me, spare me, O ye, my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

lesserot@Job:19:23 @ Oh who would but grant, that my words might be written down! oh who would grant that they were entered in a book!

lesserot@Job:19:24 @ That they were hewn with an iron pen and lead for eternity in the hard rock!

lesserot@Job:19:25 @ And well I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he will remain as the last after the creatures of the dust;

lesserot@Job:19:26 @ And after my skin is cut to pieces will this be: and then freed from my body shall I behold God;

lesserot@Job:19:28 @ But if ye should say, How will we pursue him? seeing the root of the matter is found in me:

lesserot@Job:19:29 @ Then have dread for yourselves of the sword; for the wrath is an iniquity that bringeth the sword; in order that ye may know there is one that judgeth.

lesserot@Job:20:1 @ Then answered Zophar the Na’amathite, and said,

lesserot@Job:20:2 @ Even therefore do my inmost thoughts give me an answer, and for this reason do I feel a strong excitement within me.

lesserot@Job:20:3 @ Reproof which casteth shame on me must I hear; yet out of my understanding will the spirit give me an answer.

lesserot@Job:20:4 @ Dost thou know this? from the very beginning of things, from the very time when man was placed upon earth it was,

lesserot@Job:20:5 @ That the triumphal shouting of the wicked is ever of but a recent date, and the joy of the hypocrite endureth only for a moment.

lesserot@Job:20:6 @ Though his exaltation should mount up to the heavens, and his head should reach unto the clouds;

lesserot@Job:20:7 @ Yet when he but turneth round will he vanish for ever; those who have seen him will say, Where is he?

lesserot@Job:20:8 @ Like a dream will he fly away, and men will find him no more; yea, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.

lesserot@Job:20:10 @ His children will suffer oppression from the indigent, and his hands will have to restore his wealth.

lesserot@Job:20:11 @ his bones are full of his youthful vigor; but it will lie down with him in the dust.

lesserot@Job:20:12 @ If the evil be sweet in his mouth, he will conceal it under his tongue;

lesserot@Job:20:13 @ He will cherish it, and not forsake it; and hold it back within his palate;

lesserot@Job:20:14 @ His food is thus changed within his bowels, and becometh the venom of asps within him.

lesserot@Job:20:15 @ The wealth which he hath swallowed, will he have to vomit up again; God will drive it out of his belly.

lesserot@Job:20:16 @ The poison of asps will he have to suck; the viper’s tongue will slay him.

lesserot@Job:20:17 @ He shall not look with pleasure on streams, on flowing brooks of honey and cream.

lesserot@Job:20:18 @ He restoreth what he hath labored for, and will not swallow it down; however much he may have obtained by toil, he will not have any joy of it.

lesserot@Job:20:19 @ Because he oppressed and forsook the indigent; because he took violently away a house, shall he not rebuild it;

lesserot@Job:20:20 @ Because he knew not quietness in his bosom, shall he not escape through what is the most precious to him.

lesserot@Job:20:21 @ Nothing was spared from his craving to eat: therefore shall his wealth not prosper.

lesserot@Job:20:22 @ In the fulness of his abundance will distress assail him: every hand of troubled will come against him.

lesserot@Job:20:23 @ In order to fill his belly, will send out against him the fury of his wrath, and will rain it upon him for his eating.

lesserot@Job:20:24 @ If he flee from the iron weapon, the brazen bow will strike him through.

lesserot@Job:20:25 @ He draweth it, and it cometh out of the body; yea, out of his gall the glittering cometh forth: over him come the terrors.

lesserot@Job:20:27 @ The heavens will lay open his iniquity; and the earth will raise herself up against him.

lesserot@Job:20:28 @ The product of his house will be banished, flowing away on the day of his wrath.

lesserot@Job:20:29 @ This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and his decreed heritage from God.

lesserot@Job:21:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:21:2 @ Hear, O hear my speech, and let this be wherewith you give consolations.

lesserot@Job:21:3 @ Bear with me that I may indeed speak: and after my speaking, then canst thou mock.

lesserot@Job:21:6 @ Yea, when I think of it, I am terrified, and shuddering seizeth hold of my flesh.

lesserot@Job:21:7 @ Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, grow strong in power?

lesserot@Job:21:8 @ Their seed is firmly established in their presence with them. their offspring are before their eyes.

lesserot@Job:21:9 @ Their houses are at peace without any dread, and no rod of God over them.

lesserot@Job:21:10 @ The bull of each one gendereth, and disappointeth not: the cow of each one calveth, and casteth not her young.

lesserot@Job:21:11 @ They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children skip about.

lesserot@Job:21:12 @ They sing to the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.

lesserot@Job:21:13 @ They wear out their days in happiness, and in a moment they go down to the nether world.

lesserot@Job:21:14 @ And yet they say unto God, "Depart from us; and the knowledge of thy ways we desire not.

lesserot@Job:21:15 @ What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit shall we have, if we entreat him urgently?"

lesserot@Job:21:16 @ Lo, not in their hand doth their happiness rest! The counsel of the wicked be far from me.

lesserot@Job:21:17 @ How often is the lamp of the wicked quenched? and how often cometh over them their calamity? and doth distribute their lot in his anger?

lesserot@Job:21:18 @ Are they as straw before the wind, and as chaff which the stealeth away?

lesserot@Job:21:19 @ Should God lay up for his children his wrong–doing? it were better that he reward him, that he might know it himself.

lesserot@Job:21:20 @ His own eyes ought to see his downfall, and from the wrath of the Almighty ought he to drink.

lesserot@Job:21:21 @ For what care hath he for his household after him, when the number of his months is all apportioned to him?

lesserot@Job:21:22 @ Is this fitting God, who teacheth knowledge? him who judgeth those that are highest?

lesserot@Job:21:24 @ His vessels being full of healthy fluid, and the marrow of his bones being well moistened:

lesserot@Job:21:25 @ While this other dieth with an embittered soul, and hath never partaken of any happiness;

lesserot@Job:21:26 @ together they must lie down in the dust, and the worms will cover them?

lesserot@Job:21:27 @ Behold, I know your thoughts, and the opinions which ye wrongfully devise against me.

lesserot@Job:21:28 @ For ye say, Where is the house of the noble–minded? and where is the tent of the dwelling–places of the wicked?

lesserot@Job:21:29 @ Have ye not asked the wayfarers? surely their token ye cannot disregard,

lesserot@Job:21:30 @ That the bad man is reserved for the day of calamity, are carried forward to the day of wrath.

lesserot@Job:21:31 @ who will tell him to his face of his way? and who will repay him what he hath done?

lesserot@Job:21:32 @ Yea he will indeed be carried to the grave, and men will quickly think of his monument:

lesserot@Job:21:33 @ Sweet are to him the clods of the valley; and after him succeedeth every man, as those that were before him are without number.

lesserot@Job:21:34 @ How then will ye comfort me with vanity? and of your answers there remaineth only deception.

lesserot@Job:22:1 @ Then answered Eliphaz the Themanite, and said,

lesserot@Job:22:2 @ Can a man be serviceable unto God? Truly the intelligent is serviceable unto himself.

lesserot@Job:22:3 @ Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou art righteous? or is it any gain to him, that thou makest thy ways perfect?

lesserot@Job:22:4 @ Is it out of fear of thee that he will reproach thee? or go with thee into judgment?

lesserot@Job:22:6 @ For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brothers for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

lesserot@Job:22:7 @ Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and from the hungry thou hast withholden bread.

lesserot@Job:22:8 @ But as for the man of a strong arm, he obtained the land, and the highly honored could dwell therein.

lesserot@Job:22:9 @ Widows hast thou sent away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

lesserot@Job:22:10 @ Therefore are snares round about thee, and sudden dread terrifieth thee.

lesserot@Job:22:11 @ Or seest thou not the darkness? and the abundance of water which covereth thee?

lesserot@Job:22:12 @ Is not God in the height of heaven? and beholding the highest elevation of the stars, however high they are?

lesserot@Job:22:13 @ But thou sayest, "What doth God know? can he judge behind the darkness?

lesserot@Job:22:14 @ Thick clouds are a covering for him, so that he will not see; and he walketh along on the circle of heaven."

lesserot@Job:22:15 @ Wilt thou observe the path of ancient times which the men of injustice have trodden?

lesserot@Job:22:16 @ Who were shrivelled up before their time, whose foundation was flooded away like a river;

lesserot@Job:22:17 @ Who said unto God, "’Depart from us:" and what wrought the Almighty for them?

lesserot@Job:22:18 @ And yet it was he that filled their houses with good things; but the counsel of the wicked be far from me.

lesserot@Job:22:19 @ The righteous will see it, and be glad; and the innocent will laugh them to scorn.

lesserot@Job:22:20 @ "Is not he destroyed that rose up against us, and hath not the fire consumed what they had left?"

lesserot@Job:22:21 @ Do but become acquainted with him, and be at peace: thereby will happiness come unto thee.

lesserot@Job:22:22 @ Do but accept instruction from his mouth, and lay up his saying in thy heart.

lesserot@Job:22:23 @ If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, so thou wilt but remove wrong–doing far away from thy tents.

lesserot@Job:22:24 @ And throw down in the dust precious metals, and Ophir to the stones of the brooks:

lesserot@Job:22:25 @ Then will the Almighty be thy precious metal, and brightly–shining silver unto thee.

lesserot@Job:22:26 @ For then wilt thou have in the Almighty thy delight, and thou canst lift up unto God thy face.

lesserot@Job:22:27 @ Thou wilt make entreaty unto him, and he will hear thee, and thy vows wilt thou pay.

lesserot@Job:22:28 @ And if thou decree a thing, it will be fulfilled unto thee; and upon thy ways the light will shine.

lesserot@Job:22:29 @ For when men are brought low, thou wilt say, Pride; but those of lowly eyes will help.

lesserot@Job:22:30 @ He will even deliver him who is not guiltless: and thou wilt be delivered by the purity of thy hands.

lesserot@Job:23:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:23:2 @ Even now is my complaint bitter: my suffering is heavier than my groans.

lesserot@Job:23:3 @ Oh who would grant that I knew where I might find him! that I might attain to his Judgment throne!

lesserot@Job:23:5 @ I should know the words which he might answer me, and understand what he might say unto me.

lesserot@Job:23:6 @ Would he with his power contend against me? he would truly not lay such doings to my charge.

lesserot@Job:23:7 @ There would an upright one argue with him; and I should be allowed to escape for ever by my judge.

lesserot@Job:23:8 @ But, lo, I go eastward––and he is not there; and to the west–– and I cannot perceive him;

lesserot@Job:23:9 @ When he doth great things at the north, I behold him not; he hideth himself in the south––and I see him not.

lesserot@Job:23:10 @ But he knoweth the way that I take: were he to probe me, I should come forth as gold.

lesserot@Job:23:11 @ On his steps my foot hath held fast: his way have I kept, and swerved not.

lesserot@Job:23:12 @ From the commandment of his lips have I also not moved away: as a fixed statute for me have I treasured up the sayings of his mouth.

lesserot@Job:23:13 @ But he is unchangeably one, and who can turn him? And what his will desireth, even that he doth.

lesserot@Job:23:14 @ For he will bring to completion what hath been destined for me: and like these hath he many other things with him.

lesserot@Job:23:15 @ Therefore am I terrified at his presence: I will reflect, and be in dread of him.

lesserot@Job:23:16 @ Still God hath made timid my heart, and the Almighty hath terrified me;

lesserot@Job:23:17 @ Because I was not destroyed before this darkness, and because he hath not hidden from my face gloom.

lesserot@Job:24:1 @ Why are not times treasured up by the Almighty, and why do his adorers not see his days?

lesserot@Job:24:2 @ remove landmarks: they rob flocks, and feed them.

lesserot@Job:24:3 @ They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take in pledge the widow’s ox.

lesserot@Job:24:4 @ They chase the needy out of the highway: altogether hide themselves the poor of the earth.

lesserot@Job:24:5 @ Behold, as wild asses in the wilderness go they forth to their work, rising betimes after prey: the desert yieldeth food for them and for their young men.

lesserot@Job:24:6 @ In the field they reap their food; and in the vineyard of the wicked they gather the fruit.

lesserot@Job:24:7 @ They cause to spend the night naked, without clothing and without any covering in the cold.

lesserot@Job:24:8 @ Through the sweeping rain of the mountains are they made wet, and for want of a shelter do they embrace the rock.

lesserot@Job:24:9 @ The others pluck from the breast the fatherless, and the garment of the poor they take in pledge.

lesserot@Job:24:10 @ They cause him to go naked without clothing, and from the hungry they take away the sheaf:

lesserot@Job:24:11 @ Within their walls do they make oil, they tread their wine–presses, and suffer thirst.

lesserot@Job:24:12 @ Out of a populous city is groaning heard, and the soul of the deadly wounded crieth out: yet God regardeth it not as an offence.

lesserot@Job:24:13 @ Yon men are of those that rebel against the light: they know not its ways, nor abide in its paths.

lesserot@Job:24:14 @ With the earliest light riseth the murderer, he slayeth the poor and needy, and in the night he becometh like the thief.

lesserot@Job:24:15 @ And the eye of the adulterer watcheth for the twilight, saying, No eye will see me; and placeth a covering on his face.

lesserot@Job:24:16 @ They break into houses in the dark, in the daytime they lock themselves in: they know not the light.

lesserot@Job:24:17 @ For to all of these alike is the morning as the shadow of death; for they are familiar with the terrors of the shadow of death.

lesserot@Job:24:18 @ Swift are such men on the face of the water; accursed is their field on the land; none of them turneth himself to the way, of the vineyards.

lesserot@Job:24:19 @ Drought and heat speedily consume the snow–waters: so doth the grave those who have sinned.

lesserot@Job:24:20 @ The mother that bore such a one will forget him; the worm will feed sweetly on him; he will be no more remembered; and like a tree will wickedness be broken.

lesserot@Job:24:21 @ He ill–treateth the barren that heareth not; and to the widow he acteth not well.

lesserot@Job:24:22 @ But he also draweth down the mighty with his power: he riseth up, no one is sure of life.

lesserot@Job:24:23 @ To such granteth to be in safety, that he may find support; and His eyes are upon their ways.

lesserot@Job:24:24 @ They are exalted; in but a little while they are no more; and they are brought down low: like all others are they gathered in, and like the top of the ear of corn are they cut off.

lesserot@Job:25:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

lesserot@Job:25:2 @ Dominion and dread are with him: he maketh peace in high places.

lesserot@Job:25:3 @ Can the number of his hosts be given? and over whom riseth not his light?

lesserot@Job:25:4 @ How then can man be justified with God? or how can be one that is born of woman?

lesserot@Job:25:5 @ Behold, even as regardeth the moon, that is not bright; yea, the stars are not pure in his eyes.

lesserot@Job:25:6 @ How much less the mortal, the mere worm? and the son of earth, the mere maggot?

lesserot@Job:26:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:26:2 @ What assistance hast thou given to the powerless? hast thou helped the arm without strength?

lesserot@Job:26:3 @ How hast thou counselled the unwise? and what sound wisdom hast thou made known so plentifully?

lesserot@Job:26:4 @ To whom hast thou told words? and whose spirit came from thee?

lesserot@Job:26:5 @ The departed are called into being beneath the waters, and their inhabitants.

lesserot@Job:26:6 @ Naked is the nether world before him, and there is no covering for the place of corruption.

lesserot@Job:26:7 @ He stretched out the north over empty space; he suspended the earth on nothing;

lesserot@Job:26:8 @ He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;

lesserot@Job:26:9 @ He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;

lesserot@Job:26:10 @ A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.

lesserot@Job:26:11 @ The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.

lesserot@Job:26:12 @ By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed pride:

lesserot@Job:26:13 @ By his breath the heavens beauty; his hand hath created the flying serpent.

lesserot@Job:26:14 @ Lo, these are ends of his ways; for how slight a whisper is heard of him! but the thunder of his mighty deeds who can understand?

lesserot@Job:27:2 @ As God liveth, who hath removed justice from me; and by the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul:

lesserot@Job:27:3 @ All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

lesserot@Job:27:5 @ Far be it from me that I should justify you; till I depart hence will I not allow to take my integrity away from me.

lesserot@Job:27:6 @ I have laid fast hold on my righteousness, and I will not let it go: my heart shall not reproach me during all my life.

lesserot@Job:27:7 @ Like the wicked is my enemy, and he that riseth up against me like a wrong–doer.

lesserot@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, when he hath gained unjust wealth, when God casteth forth his soul?

lesserot@Job:27:9 @ Will God hear his cry, when distress cometh upon him?

lesserot@Job:27:10 @ Or can he find delight in the Almighty? can he call on God at all times?

lesserot@Job:27:11 @ I will instruct you concerning what is in the hand of God: which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

lesserot@Job:27:12 @ Lo! ye yourselves have all beheld it: why is it then that ye deal in such vanities?

lesserot@Job:27:13 @ This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the portion of tyrants, which they shall receive from the Almighty.

lesserot@Job:27:14 @ If his children be multiplied, it is only for the sword; and his offspring will not be satisfied with bread.

lesserot@Job:27:16 @ Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare garments as the clay:

lesserot@Job:27:17 @ He may prepare, but the righteous will clothe himself, and the silver the innocent will divide.

lesserot@Job:27:18 @ He buildeth his house like the moth, and like a hut that a keeper hath made.

lesserot@Job:27:19 @ Rich will he lie down, but will not be gathered: one openeth his eyes, and he is no more.

lesserot@Job:27:20 @ Like a flood will terror overtake him, in the night a tempest will steal him away.

lesserot@Job:27:21 @ The east wind will lift him up, and he must be gone; and it hurleth him like a storm out of his place.

lesserot@Job:27:23 @ Men will clap their hands over him, and will hiss after him out of his place.

lesserot@Job:28:1 @ For truly there is a source for the silver, and a place for the gold which men refine.

lesserot@Job:28:2 @ Iron is taken out of the dust, and the stone is melted into copper.

lesserot@Job:28:3 @ An end doth he set to darkness, and the very utmost limit doth he search out, the stones of darkness, and of the shadow of death.

lesserot@Job:28:4 @ He breaketh a channel far from the inhabited place; those of unsteady foot, the poorest of men move.

lesserot@Job:28:5 @ The earth, out of which cometh forth bread, is under its surface turned up as it were with fire.

lesserot@Job:28:6 @ Her stones are the place whence the sapphire cometh; and golden dust is also there;

lesserot@Job:28:7 @ path which no bird of prey knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not surveyed;

lesserot@Job:28:8 @ ravenous beasts have never trodden, over which the lion hath never passed.

lesserot@Job:28:9 @ To the flinty rock he stretcheth forth his hand; he overturneth the mountains from the root.

lesserot@Job:28:10 @ Amid rocks he heweth out canals: and every precious thing doth his eye behold.

lesserot@Job:28:11 @ The various droppings of water he uniteth into streams, and what is hidden he bringeth forth to light.

lesserot@Job:28:12 @ But wisdom––where shall she he found? and where is the place of understanding?

lesserot@Job:28:13 @ Man knoweth not her value: and she is not to be found in the land of the living.

lesserot@Job:28:14 @ The deep saith, Not in me is she: and the sea saith, She is not with me.

lesserot@Job:28:15 @ No fine gold can be given in lieu of her, and silver cannot be weighed out as her price.

lesserot@Job:28:16 @ She cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

lesserot@Job:28:17 @ She cannot be estimated after gold and glass; and not in exchange for her vessels of refined gold

lesserot@Job:28:18 @ Coral and crystal will not be thought of; and the value of wisdom is above pearls.

lesserot@Job:28:19 @ She cannot be estimated after the topaz of Ethiopia, nor can she be valued with pure gold.

lesserot@Job:28:20 @ But wisdom––whence cometh she? and where is the place of understanding?

lesserot@Job:28:21 @ Yea, she is hidden from the eyes of all living, and from the fowls of the heavens is she concealed.

lesserot@Job:28:22 @ Perdition and death say, With our ears have we heard a report of her.

lesserot@Job:28:23 @ God understandeth her way, and he knoweth her place;

lesserot@Job:28:24 @ For he looketh to the ends of the earth, under the whole heaven doth he see.

lesserot@Job:28:25 @ When he imparted weight unto the wind; and the waters he established by measure;

lesserot@Job:28:26 @ When he made a law for the rain, and a way for the lightning of thunders;

lesserot@Job:28:27 @ Then did he see her, and make her known; he established her, and also searched her out.

lesserot@Job:28:28 @ And he said unto man, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to eschew evil is understanding.

lesserot@Job:29:2 @ Who will give me back months like those which are past, days like those when God guarded me;

lesserot@Job:29:3 @ When his lamp shone over my head, when by his light I could walk in darkness;

lesserot@Job:29:4 @ As I was in the days of my abundance, when the confidence of God was upon my tent:

lesserot@Job:29:5 @ When the Almighty was yet with me, when my servants stood round about me;

lesserot@Job:29:6 @ When I bathed my steps in cream, and the rock poured out near me streamlets of oil!

lesserot@Job:29:7 @ When I went out to the gate close by the city, when in the open place I established my seat:

lesserot@Job:29:8 @ Young men saw me, and hid themselves; and the aged rose up, and remained standing;

lesserot@Job:29:9 @ Princes stopped in the midst of words, and laid their hand on their mouth:

lesserot@Job:29:10 @ The voice of nobles was arrested, and their tongue cleaved to their palate.

lesserot@Job:29:11 @ For the ear that heard me called me happy; and the eye that saw me bore witness for me;

lesserot@Job:29:12 @ Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, yea, that had none to help him.

lesserot@Job:29:13 @ The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me; and the heart of the widow I caused to sing for joy.

lesserot@Job:29:14 @ I took righteousness as my garment, and it clothed me: as a robe and a mitre was justice unto me.

lesserot@Job:29:15 @ Eyes was I to the blind; and feet to the lame was I.

lesserot@Job:29:16 @ A father was I to the needy; and the cause of him I knew not I used to investigate.

lesserot@Job:29:17 @ And I broke the cutting–teeth of the wrong–doer, and out of his teeth I cast down his prey.

lesserot@Job:29:18 @ And I said then, "In the midst of my nest shall I depart hence, and like the sand shall I have many days.

lesserot@Job:29:19 @ My root will stand open for the water, and the dew will lodge on my boughs.

lesserot@Job:29:21 @ Unto me men listened, and waited, and watched in silence for my counsel

lesserot@Job:29:22 @ After my words they made no reply, and my speech dropped on them.

lesserot@Job:29:23 @ And they waited for me as for the rain, and they opened wide their mouth as for the latter rain.

lesserot@Job:29:24 @ I smiled on those that had lost their confidence; and the light of my countenance they never cast down.

lesserot@Job:29:25 @ I chose their way for them, and I sat as chief, and dwelt as king in his army, as one that comforteth mourners.

lesserot@Job:30:1 @ But now they who are younger than I in years laugh at me, whose fathers I scorned to put as equals with the dogs of my flocks.

lesserot@Job:30:2 @ Yea, what possible use can the strength of their hands be unto me, over whom old age hath passed fruitlessly?

lesserot@Job:30:3 @ Who suffer for want and famine in solitude; who flee into the wilderness darkness, ruin, and desolation;

lesserot@Job:30:4 @ Who crop off mallows by the bushes, and have broom–bush roots as their bread;

lesserot@Job:30:5 @ Who are driven forth from among, who are shouted after as though they were thieves,

lesserot@Job:30:6 @ To dwell in the caverns of the valleys, in holes of the earth, and on naked cliffs.

lesserot@Job:30:7 @ Among the bushes they shriek; under briers they are huddled together,

lesserot@Job:30:8 @ The children of the worthless, yea, the children of the nameless, who were outcasts from the land.

lesserot@Job:30:9 @ But now I am become their song, and I am become a byword unto them.

lesserot@Job:30:10 @ They loathe me, they keep themselves far from me, and from my face they withhold not their spittle.

lesserot@Job:30:11 @ Because he hath loosened the cord of my bow, and afflicted me, they have also cast off the bridle before me.

lesserot@Job:30:12 @ Against my right hand rise up this swarm of worthless youths: they push away my feet, and they level against me their calamity–bringing paths.

lesserot@Job:30:13 @ They destroy my footpath, they help forward my downfall, without any one to aid them.

lesserot@Job:30:14 @ As a broad breach they come: amidst a loud noise they rolled themselves along.

lesserot@Job:30:15 @ Terrors have turned their face against me; they chase like the wind my glory: and like a cloud is my happiness passed away.

lesserot@Job:30:16 @ And now my soul is poured out over me; the days of affliction have seized on me;

lesserot@Job:30:18 @ Through the Almlghty’s power is my garment made unknown: like the opening of my coat hath he enclosed me.

lesserot@Job:30:19 @ He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

lesserot@Job:30:20 @ I cry aloud unto thee, but thou answerest me not: I stand up, and thou fixest thy regard against me.

lesserot@Job:30:21 @ Thou art changed into a cruel master toward me: with the strength of thy hand thou assailest me.

lesserot@Job:30:22 @ Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to pass away, and dissolvest in me all wise counsel.

lesserot@Job:30:23 @ For I know that thou wilt bring me back to death, and to the house of assembly for all the living.

lesserot@Job:30:24 @ But doth not a man stretch out his hand among ruins? or doth one not cry out therefrom when he meeteth his downfall?

lesserot@Job:30:25 @ Did I not weep for him that was hard pressed by misfortune? was not my soul grieved for the needy?

lesserot@Job:30:26 @ That I hoped for good, but there came evil; and I waited for light, and there came darkness!

lesserot@Job:30:27 @ My bowels heave, and rest not: the days of affliction have overcome me.

lesserot@Job:30:28 @ I walk about mournfully without sunlight: when I rise up, in the assembly, I cry with pain.

lesserot@Job:30:29 @ I am a brother to monsters, and a companion to ostriches.

lesserot@Job:30:30 @ My skin hangeth down black from me, and my bones are burnt from heat.

lesserot@Job:30:31 @ And thus is changed to mourning my harp, and my pipe to the sound of weeping.

lesserot@Job:31:1 @ A covenant had I made with my eyes: how then should I fix my look on a virgin?

lesserot@Job:31:2 @ And what then would have been my portion of God from above? and what lot of the Almighty from on high?

lesserot@Job:31:3 @ Is not calamity for the unjust? and misfortune for the wrong–doers?

lesserot@Job:31:4 @ Behold, he truly seeth my ways, and numbereth all my steps;

lesserot@Job:31:5 @ whether I have walked with vain desires, or if my foot hath hastened after deceit.

lesserot@Job:31:6 @ Let him weigh me then in a righteous balance, and let God acknowledge my integrity,

lesserot@Job:31:7 @ If my step have turned aside from the way, and my heart have walked after my eyes, and if any blemish have cleaved to my hands:

lesserot@Job:31:8 @ Then let me sow, and let another eat; and let what I have growing be rooted out.

lesserot@Job:31:9 @ If my heart have been beguiled toward a woman, or if I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door:

lesserot@Job:31:10 @ Then may my wife labor at the mill for another, and may strangers ill–use her;

lesserot@Job:31:11 @ For this would be incest; yea, it would be an iniquity the judges;

lesserot@Job:31:12 @ For it would be a fire that consumeth down to the place of corruption, and would root out all my products.

lesserot@Job:31:13 @ If ever I cast aside the justice due to my man–servant and my maid–servant, when they contended with me:

lesserot@Job:31:14 @ What then could I do when God should rise up? and when he should investigate, what could I answer him?

lesserot@Job:31:15 @ Did not he that made me make him born or a woman? and did not the same one fashion us in the womb?

lesserot@Job:31:16 @ If ever I denied the wish of the indigent, or ever allowed the eyes of the widow to fall;

lesserot@Job:31:17 @ Or if ever I ate my bread by myself alone, and the fatherless did not eat thereof;

lesserot@Job:31:18 @ (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as though we were of one father, and I have guided her from my mother’s womb;)

lesserot@Job:31:19 @ If ever I saw any one perishing for want of clothing, or the needy without covering:

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

lesserot@Job:31:21 @ If I have swung my hand against the fatherless, because I saw in the gate those that would help me:

lesserot@Job:31:22 @ Then may my shoulder fall from my shoulder–blade, and my arm be broken from the channel–bone;

lesserot@Job:31:23 @ For dreaded by me was the calamitous punishment of God, and against his highness I can accomplish nothing.

lesserot@Job:31:24 @ If I have made gold my confidence, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my trust:

lesserot@Job:31:26 @ If ever I looked at the light when he shone brightly and on the moon walking in splendor:

lesserot@Job:31:27 @ And my heart became misled in secret, and my hand kissed my mouth:

lesserot@Job:31:28 @ This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge; for thus would I have denied the God that is above.

lesserot@Job:31:29 @ If ever I rejoiced at the downfall of him that hated me, or was elated when evil befell him; ––

lesserot@Job:31:31 @ If the men of my tent said not, Oh is there one that is not satisfied of his flesh; ––

lesserot@Job:31:32 @ In the street a stranger had not to lodge; my doors I held open to the roadside;

lesserot@Job:31:34 @ Because I dreaded the great multitude, or because the contempt of families did terrify me, so that I kept silence, and dared not to go out of the door; ––

lesserot@Job:31:35 @ Oh who will bring me one that would hear me! behold, here is my plea; may the Almighty answer me; and any record which my opponent may have written,––

lesserot@Job:31:37 @ The number of my steps would I tell him: as a prince would I go near unto him.––

lesserot@Job:31:38 @ If my land ever cried out because of me, or if its furrows wept together;

lesserot@Job:31:39 @ If I ever consumed its strength without payment, or caused the soul of its owners to grieve:

lesserot@Job:31:40 @ Then may instead of wheat, thorns come forth, and instead of barley, cockle. (Here end the words of Job.)

lesserot@Job:32:1 @ So had these three men abstained from answering Job; because he was righteous in his own eyes.

lesserot@Job:32:2 @ Thereupon was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he had declared himself more righteous than God.

lesserot@Job:32:3 @ And against his three friends was his wrath kindled; because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

lesserot@Job:32:4 @ Now Elihu had held back toward Job words; because the others were older in days than he.

lesserot@Job:32:5 @ But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then was his wrath kindled.

lesserot@Job:32:6 @ And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite commenced, and said, Young am I in days, and ye are very old: therefore I hesitated and feared to show you what I know.

lesserot@Job:32:8 @ But it is the spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty which giveth them understanding.

lesserot@Job:32:9 @ Not those rich in years must be always wise: neither do the aged constantly understand what is just.

lesserot@Job:32:10 @ Therefore do I say, Hearken to me: I also will show forth what I know myself.

lesserot@Job:32:11 @ Behold, I waited for your words: I gave an attentive ear to your reasonings, till you might have searched out the words.

lesserot@Job:32:12 @ And now I understand you fully, and, behold, there is none that convinceth Job, or, that answereth his speeches among you.

lesserot@Job:32:13 @ Say then not, We have found wisdom: God will thrust him down, not man.

lesserot@Job:32:14 @ But he hath not directed any words against me: and with your speeches will I not answer him.

lesserot@Job:32:15 @ They are dismayed, they answer no more: words have escaped away from them.

lesserot@Job:32:16 @ And should I wait, because they cannot speak, because they stand stilt and answer no more?

lesserot@Job:32:18 @ For I am full of words, the spirit in my bosom urgeth me hard.

lesserot@Job:32:20 @ I will speak, that I may breathe freer: I will open my lips and answer.

lesserot@Job:33:1 @ Therefore do thou but hear, O Job, my speeches, and give ear to all my words.

lesserot@Job:33:3 @ Out of my straightforward heart my sayings, and my lips utter knowledge clearly.

lesserot@Job:33:4 @ The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.

lesserot@Job:33:6 @ Behold, I am in the same relation as thyself toward God: I myself also am cut out of the clay.

lesserot@Job:33:7 @ Behold, dread of me cannot terrify thee, and my pressure will not be too heavy upon thee.

lesserot@Job:33:8 @ But thou hast said before my ears, and the sound of the words I still hear,

lesserot@Job:33:9 @ "I am pure without transgression, I am quite clean; and there is no iniquity in me:

lesserot@Job:33:10 @ Yet, behold, he findeth hateful backsliding on me, he regardeth me as an enemy unto him;

lesserot@Job:33:11 @ He putteth my feet in the stocks, he watcheth all my paths."

lesserot@Job:33:12 @ Behold, In this thou art not just: I will answer thee; for God is far greater than a mortal.

lesserot@Job:33:13 @ Why dost thou contend against him? for with all his words will he not give an answer.

lesserot@Job:33:15 @ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumbers upon the couch:

lesserot@Job:33:16 @ Then doth he lay open the ear of men, and sealeth it with their warning;

lesserot@Job:33:17 @ To remove the son of earth deed and he covereth up pride from man;

lesserot@Job:33:18 @ He withholdeth his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away by the sword.

lesserot@Job:33:19 @ And so is he admonished by pain upon his couch, and all his bones with violent.

lesserot@Job:33:20 @ So that his inclination abhorreth bread, and his soul, the most agreeable food.

lesserot@Job:33:22 @ Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, and his life to those that slay.

lesserot@Job:33:23 @ If there be now about him one single angel, as defender, one out of a thousand, to tell for man his uprightness:

lesserot@Job:33:24 @ Then is he gracious unto him, and saith, Release him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.

lesserot@Job:33:25 @ His flesh becometh full again as in youth: he returneth to the days of his boyhood.

lesserot@Job:33:26 @ He will offer his entreaty unto God, and he will receive him in favor, that he may see his face with joy: so doth He recompense unto the mortal his righteousness.

lesserot@Job:33:27 @ He then should assemble men around, and say, "I had sinned, and perverted what is right, yet have I not received a like return."

lesserot@Job:33:28 @ Thus he redeemeth his soul from passing into the pit, and his life will look joyously on the light.

lesserot@Job:33:29 @ Lo, all these things doth God two or three times with man;

lesserot@Job:33:30 @ To bring back his soul from the pit, that she may shine in the light of life.

lesserot@Job:33:31 @ Listen well, O Job, hearken unto me: keep silence, and I will truly speak.

lesserot@Job:33:32 @ If thou hast any words, answer me: speak, for I wish to justify thee.

lesserot@Job:33:33 @ If not, hearken thou unto me: keep silence, and I will teach thee wisdom.

lesserot@Job:34:2 @ Hear, O ye wise men, my words; and ye that have knowledge, give ear unto me.

lesserot@Job:34:3 @ For the ear proveth words, as the palate tasteth the food.

lesserot@Job:34:6 @ Should I lie concerning the justice due me? incurable is the arrow I bear in me without any transgression."

lesserot@Job:34:7 @ What man is there like Job, who drinketh scorning like water,

lesserot@Job:34:8 @ And is on the road to keep company with the wrong–doers, and to walk with men of wickedness?

lesserot@Job:34:9 @ For he hath said, "It profiteth a man nothing when he acteth according to the pleasure of God."

lesserot@Job:34:10 @ Therefore ye men of sense hearken unto me: far is it from God to practise wickedness; and from the Almighty to do wrong!

lesserot@Job:34:11 @ For the work of a son of earth doth he recompense unto him, and according to the path of man doth he permit things to occur to him.

lesserot@Job:34:12 @ Yea, surely God will not condemn unjustly, nor will the Almighty pervert justice.

lesserot@Job:34:13 @ Who hath given him a charge concerning the earth? or who hath intrusted the whole world?

lesserot@Job:34:14 @ If he were to set his heart upon man, he would gather unto himself his spirit and his breath:

lesserot@Job:34:15 @ All flesh would perish together, and the son of earth would return again unto dust.

lesserot@Job:34:16 @ If then thou wishest to understand, hear this: give ear to the sound of my words.

lesserot@Job:34:17 @ Is it possible that he who hateth justice should govern? or wilt thou condemn the righteous mighty One?

lesserot@Job:34:19 @ Whereas he is one that showeth no favor to chieftains, and distinguisheth not the rich before the indigent; for all of them are the work of his hands.

lesserot@Job:34:20 @ In a moment will they die, and in the midst of the night; people are moved, and pass away: and the mighty will be removed without a human hand.

lesserot@Job:34:21 @ For big eyes are upon the ways of man, and all his steps doth he see.

lesserot@Job:34:22 @ There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the evil–doers can hide themselves.

lesserot@Job:34:23 @ For he need not direct a long time upon man, that he should enter into judgment before God.

lesserot@Job:34:24 @ He breaketh down mighty men without searching, and placeth others in their stead.

lesserot@Job:34:25 @ For the reason that he knoweth their deeds: therefore he overturneth them in the night, and they are crushed.

lesserot@Job:34:26 @ Among wicked men doth he strike them, in the place where see them:

lesserot@Job:34:27 @ Because they have departed from following him, and have not considered all his ways.

lesserot@Job:34:28 @ Bringing before them the cry of the indigent, and the cry of the afflicted which he had to hear.

lesserot@Job:34:29 @ When he now granteth rest, who will condemn! and when he hideth his face, who can behold him? whether it be against a nation, or against one man, it is the same:

lesserot@Job:34:30 @ That no hypocritical man may reign, that such shall not be a mare to the people.

lesserot@Job:34:33 @ Should he then according to thy view send a recompense, because thou hast rejected him? "Because thou must choose, and not I?" and what thou knowest, do speak.

lesserot@Job:34:34 @ Men of sense will say unto me, and every wise man who heareth me,

lesserot@Job:34:36 @ Oh that Job may therefore be probed continually, in order to give answers against sinful men.

lesserot@Job:34:37 @ For he addeth unto his sin transgression: among us he uttereth too many loud words, and multiplieth his speeches against God.

lesserot@Job:35:1 @ Then commenced Elihu, and said,

lesserot@Job:35:3 @ For thou sayest, "What benefit will it be unto thee? what more profit shall I have, than if I had sinned?"

lesserot@Job:35:4 @ I will truly reply unto thee with words, and unto thy friends with thee.

lesserot@Job:35:5 @ Look unto the heavens, and see; and gaze on the skies which are higher than thou.

lesserot@Job:35:7 @ If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what doth he accept out of thy hand?

lesserot@Job:35:9 @ By reason of the multitude of oppressions cause men to cry: these complain aloud because of the arm of the mighty.

lesserot@Job:35:10 @ But saith not, Where is God my maker, who bestoweth joyful songs even in the night;

lesserot@Job:35:11 @ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of the heavens?

lesserot@Job:35:12 @ There do they cry, but he answereth not: because of the pride of evil men.

lesserot@Job:35:13 @ Only what is false will God not hear, nor will the Almighty regard it.

lesserot@Job:35:14 @ Although thou sayest, thou canst not see him: yet the decision is before him; and do thou wait for him.

lesserot@Job:35:15 @ But now, because his anger hath punished nothing, shall he not greatly take cognizance of the multitude of sins?

lesserot@Job:35:16 @ But Job openeth wide his mouth for nought: without knowledge he heapeth up words.

lesserot@Job:36:1 @ Then continued Elihu, and said,

lesserot@Job:36:2 @ Wait for me a little, and I will instruct thee; for still some words on God’s behalf.

lesserot@Job:36:4 @ For truly no falsehood is my words: one that is upright in opinions with thee.

lesserot@Job:36:5 @ Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength of intellect.

lesserot@Job:36:6 @ He permitteth not the wicked to live; but he procureth justice for the afflicted.

lesserot@Job:36:7 @ He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous; but with kings on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

lesserot@Job:36:8 @ And if they be bound in fetters, and if they be entangled in the cords of affliction:

lesserot@Job:36:9 @ Then doth he tell them of their work, and of their transgressions, when they had become strong.

lesserot@Job:36:10 @ And he openeth thus their ear to correction, and saith that they should return from wrong–doing.

lesserot@Job:36:11 @ If they hearken and serve, they will spend their days in happiness, and their years in pleasures.

lesserot@Job:36:12 @ But if they hearken not, they will pass away through the sword, and they will perish in want of knowledge.

lesserot@Job:36:13 @ But the hypocrites in heart persevere in wrath; they will not offer entreaty when he bindeth them:

lesserot@Job:36:14 @ Their soul will die in youth, and their life, among the incestuous.

lesserot@Job:36:15 @ He delivereth the afflicted through his affliction, and openeth through oppression his ear.

lesserot@Job:36:16 @ And also thee hath he incited away from the jaws of distress into a wide space, on the site of which there is no straitness; and what is set on thy table is full of fatness.

lesserot@Job:36:17 @ But if thou art full of the judgment of the wicked: judgment and decree will support each other.

lesserot@Job:36:18 @ For there would be fury, If aught were to incite thee to utter an abundance; and the greatness of the infliction must not mislead thee.

lesserot@Job:36:19 @ Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold ore, nor all the highest forces of strength.

lesserot@Job:36:20 @ Desire then not eagerly the night, when nations pass away in their place.

lesserot@Job:36:21 @ Take heed, turn not thyself to wrong–doing, so that thou wouldst choose this because of affliction.

lesserot@Job:36:24 @ Reflect, that thou shouldst magnify his work, which men have beheld.

lesserot@Job:36:25 @ All men have looked at it; the mortal gazeth at it from afar.

lesserot@Job:36:26 @ Behold, God is great, and we comprehend him not, the number of his years can truly not be searched out.

lesserot@Job:36:27 @ For he taketh away drops of water, which are purified into rain in his mist:

lesserot@Job:36:28 @ These drop down out of the skies; they distil upon the multitude of men.

lesserot@Job:36:29 @ But can understand the outspreadings of the clouds? the tumult of his tabernacle?

lesserot@Job:36:30 @ Behold, he spreadeth out over it his light, and covereth up the roots of the sea.

lesserot@Job:36:31 @ For by means of them he judgeth nations, he giveth food in superfluity.

lesserot@Job:36:32 @ hands he covereth with light; and he commandeth it to strike the one who striveth against him.

lesserot@Job:36:33 @ The noise of his storm telleth of it, yea, the cattle also, of the rising tempest.

lesserot@Job:37:1 @ At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved upward out of its place.

lesserot@Job:37:2 @ Hear, O hear, the rattling of his thunder, and the storm’s roar that goeth out of his mouth.

lesserot@Job:37:3 @ Under the whole heavens he letteth it loose, and his lightning over the ends of the earth.

lesserot@Job:37:4 @ Behind it roareth the thunder; he thundereth with his majestic voice; and he holdeth them not back when his voice is heard.

lesserot@Job:37:5 @ God thundereth with his marvelous voice: he doth great things, which we cannot comprehend.

lesserot@Job:37:6 @ For to the snow he saith, Be thou on the earth: likewise the pouring rain, and to the pouring rains of his strength.

lesserot@Job:37:7 @ He sealeth it on the hand of every man, that all men whom he hath made may know it.

lesserot@Job:37:8 @ Then retire the beasts into dens, and rest in their lairs.

lesserot@Job:37:9 @ Out of chamber cometh the whirlwind, and out of the north, the cold.

lesserot@Job:37:10 @ From the breathing of God ice is given, and the broad waters become solid.

lesserot@Job:37:11 @ Also with moisture he loadeth the cloud; he scattereth the cloud of his lightning;

lesserot@Job:37:12 @ And it is turned round about by his guidance, to execute what he commandeth it upon the face of the world, the earth.

lesserot@Job:37:13 @ Whether it be as a chastising rod––if this be destined for his earth––or for kindness, doth he cause it to come.

lesserot@Job:37:14 @ Give ear unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider well the wonders of God.

lesserot@Job:37:15 @ Dost thou know how God hath imposed on them, and he hath caused the light of his cloud to shine?

lesserot@Job:37:16 @ Dost thou know aught about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

lesserot@Job:37:17 @ who clothest thyself with warm garments, when He giveth the earth rest from the south wind?

lesserot@Job:37:18 @ Hast thou with him spread out the skies, which are strong even as a molten mirror?

lesserot@Job:37:20 @ Can be related of him, when I speak? or if a man talk even till he be swallowed up?

lesserot@Job:37:21 @ Yet now men see not the light which is bright in the skies, when the wind hath passed along, and purified them.

lesserot@Job:37:22 @ The golden that cometh out of the north: around God is terrible majesty.

lesserot@Job:37:23 @ The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, excellent in power, and in justice, and abounding in righteousness, will not afflict:

lesserot@Job:37:24 @ Therefore do men fear him; he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

lesserot@Job:38:1 @ Then did the Lord address Job out of the storm–wind, and said,

lesserot@Job:38:3 @ Do but gird up like a mighty man thy loins: and I will ask thee, and do thou inform me.

lesserot@Job:38:4 @ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? tell it, if thou hast any understanding.

lesserot@Job:38:5 @ Who fixed her measurements, if thou knowest it? or who stretched the measuring–line over her?

lesserot@Job:38:6 @ Upon what are her foundation–pillars placed at rest? or who laid her corner–stone:

lesserot@Job:38:7 @ When altogether sang the morning stars in gladness, and shouted for joy all the sons of God?

lesserot@Job:38:8 @ And who closed up with doors the sea, when, issuing forth, it came out of the deep bosom of the earth?

lesserot@Job:38:9 @ When I made the clouds its garment, and thick fog its swaddling–cloth,

lesserot@Job:38:10 @ And when I decreed for it my law, and set bars and doors,

lesserot@Job:38:11 @ And said, Thus far mayest thou come, but no farther; and here shall be stayed in the pride of thy waves?

lesserot@Job:38:12 @ Didst thou ever, in all thy days, command the morning; didst thou ever assign the morning–dawn its place:

lesserot@Job:38:13 @ That it might lay hold of the ends of the earth, so that the wicked might be shaken out therefrom?

lesserot@Job:38:14 @ She is changed as the sealing–clay: and stand as though newly clad.

lesserot@Job:38:15 @ And from the wicked is their light withdrawn, and the high–raised arm is broken.

lesserot@Job:38:16 @ Didst thou ever penetrate as far as the springs of the sea? or wander through the bottom of the deep?

lesserot@Job:38:17 @ Were the gates of death ever laid open unto thee? or canst thou see the doors of the shadow of death?

lesserot@Job:38:18 @ Hast thou a clear understanding of the breadth of the earth? Tell it, if thou knowest it all.

lesserot@Job:38:19 @ Where is the way the light dwelleth? and the darkness––where is its place,

lesserot@Job:38:20 @ That thou mightest take each to its boundary, and that thou mightest mark the pathways to its house?

lesserot@Job:38:21 @ Thou knowest it; because thou wast then born, and the number of thy days is great!

lesserot@Job:38:22 @ Didst thou ever enter into the treasuries of the snow? or canst thou see the treasuries of the hail,

lesserot@Job:38:23 @ Which I have reserved for the time of distress, for the day of fight and battle?

lesserot@Job:38:24 @ Where is the way the light divideth itself, the east wind is scattered over the earth?

lesserot@Job:38:25 @ Who hath divided off watercourses for the overflowing rain, and a way for the lightning thunders,

lesserot@Job:38:26 @ To bring rain on a land, void of men; on a wilderness wherein no son of earth;

lesserot@Job:38:27 @ To satisfy waste and desolate lands; and to promote the growth of the tender grass?

lesserot@Job:38:28 @ Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of the dew?

lesserot@Job:38:29 @ Out of whose womb cometh forth the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven––who giveth birth to it?

lesserot@Job:38:30 @ like a stone the waters are congealed, and the face of the deep is bound in fetters?

lesserot@Job:38:31 @ Canst thou bind together the chains of the Pleiades, or loosen the bands of Orion?

lesserot@Job:38:32 @ Canst thou bring forth the constellations of the zodiac, each in its season? or canst thou guide the Bear with its young?

lesserot@Job:38:33 @ Knowest thou the laws of heaven? or dost thou appoint its rule on the earth?

lesserot@Job:38:34 @ Canst thou lift up to the clouds thy voice, that the abundance of waters may cover thee?

lesserot@Job:38:35 @ Canst thou send out lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here are we?

lesserot@Job:38:36 @ Who hath put wisdom in the dark clouds? or who hath given understanding to the bright meteors?

lesserot@Job:38:37 @ Who ordaineth the skies with wisdom? or who emptieth out the bottles of heaven.

lesserot@Job:38:38 @ When the dust is poured out as molten metal, and the clods are made to cleave fast together?

lesserot@Job:38:39 @ Dost thou hunt for the lioness her prey? and suppliest thou the food for the young lions,

lesserot@Job:38:40 @ When they are couched in their lairs, rest in the thicket, lying in wait?

lesserot@Job:38:41 @ Who provideth for the raven his provision? when his young ones cry unto God, and wander about for lack of food?

lesserot@Job:39:1 @ Knowest thou the time when the chamois of the rock bring forth? or markest thou when the hinds do calve?

lesserot@Job:39:2 @ Numberest thou the months of gestation which they complete and knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

lesserot@Job:39:3 @ They bend themselves: they drop their young ones; throw off their pains.

lesserot@Job:39:4 @ Their little ones become strong; they grow up in the open field; they go forth, and return not unto them.

lesserot@Job:39:5 @ Who sent out the wild ass free? or who loosened the bonds of the forest–ass?

lesserot@Job:39:6 @ To whom I assigned the wilderness as his house, and the salty land as his dwellings.

lesserot@Job:39:7 @ He laugheth at the noise of a town, and the shoutings of the driver he heareth not.

lesserot@Job:39:8 @ What he espieth on the mountains is his pasture, and after every green thing doth he search.

lesserot@Job:39:9 @ Will the forest–ox be willing to serve thee, or will he stay over night at thy crib?

lesserot@Job:39:10 @ Canst thou bind the forest–ox with a rope in the furrow? or will he harrow valleys, following after thee?

lesserot@Job:39:12 @ Wilt thou confide in him, that he should bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy threshing–floor?––

lesserot@Job:39:13 @ The wing of the ostrich moveth joyfully: hath she the pinions and plumage of the careful stork?

lesserot@Job:39:14 @ for she intrusteth her eggs to the earth, and letteth them be hatched out on the dust:

lesserot@Job:39:15 @ And she forgetteth that a foot may crush them, or that the beast of the field may stamp them down.

lesserot@Job:39:16 @ He hath made her callous against her young, as though they were not hers: her labor is in vain, no dread;

lesserot@Job:39:17 @ Because God hath denied her wisdom, and he hath not imparted to her understanding.

lesserot@Job:39:18 @ At the time she raiseth herself up on high, she laugheth at the horse and his rider.

lesserot@Job:39:19 @ Dost thou give the horse strength? dost thou clothe his neck with the rolling mane?

lesserot@Job:39:21 @ Men spy about in the valley, and he rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth forth to meet the armed array.

lesserot@Job:39:22 @ He laugheth at fear, and is not dismayed; and turneth not back from before the sword.

lesserot@Job:39:23 @ Over him rattle the quiver, the glittering spear and the lance.

lesserot@Job:39:24 @ With impatient noise and rage he holloweth the ground, and keepeth not quiet when the cornet’s voice.

lesserot@Job:39:25 @ Midst the sound of the cornet he uttereth his joyful neigh; and from afar he perceiveth the battle, the loud call of the captains, and the battle–cry.––

lesserot@Job:39:26 @ Is it through thy understanding that the hawk flieth along, and spreadeth out his wings toward the south?

lesserot@Job:39:27 @ Or is it by your order that the eagle doth mount upward, and buildeth high up his nest?

lesserot@Job:39:28 @ On a rock he dwelleth, and spendeth his nights, on a rocky crag and mountain fastness.

lesserot@Job:39:29 @ From there he espieth his food, from afar can his eyes behold.

lesserot@Job:39:30 @ His young ones, also, sip up blood: and where the slain be, there is he.

lesserot@Job:40:1 @ And the Lord addressed Job, and said,

lesserot@Job:40:2 @ Will he that contendeth with the Almighty yet find fault? him that reproveth God answer this.

lesserot@Job:40:3 @ Then answered Job the Lord, and said,

lesserot@Job:40:4 @ Behold, I am too vile: what shall I answer thee? my hand do I place on my mouth.

lesserot@Job:40:6 @ Then answered the Lord unto Job out of the storm–wind, and said,

lesserot@Job:40:7 @ Do but gird up like a mighty man thy loins: I will ask thee, and do thou inform me.

lesserot@Job:40:10 @ Then do deck thyself with excellence and greatness, and clothe thyself in majesty and glory.

lesserot@Job:40:11 @ Scatter abroad the ragings of thy wrath, and look on every proud one, and humble him.

lesserot@Job:40:12 @ Look on every proud one, and bend him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

lesserot@Job:40:13 @ Hide them in the dust altogether: bind up their faces in concealment.

lesserot@Job:40:14 @ Then will I also myself praise thee, when thy own right hand hath helped thee.

lesserot@Job:40:15 @ Only behold Behemoth, which I made near thee: grass he eateth like the ox.

lesserot@Job:40:16 @ Only see, is his strength in his loins, and his force, in the muscles of his belly.

lesserot@Job:40:17 @ He stretcheth out his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his loins are closely wrapped together.

lesserot@Job:40:19 @ He is the first in rank of the works of God: he that made him can alone bring his sword near unto him.

lesserot@Job:40:20 @ But truly the mountains bear for him his food, and all the beasts of the field play there.

lesserot@Job:40:21 @ Under shady trees he lieth down, in the covert of the reeds, and swamp.

lesserot@Job:40:22 @ Shady trees cover him as his shadow: willows of the brook encompass him about.

lesserot@Job:40:23 @ Behold, a river sweepeth violently along, but he hasteneth not away: he remaineth quiet, though a Jordan rusheth up to his mouth.

lesserot@Job:42:1 @ Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,

lesserot@Job:42:3 @ Who is he that dareth to conceal counsel without knowledge? Truly I have spoken of what I understood not, of things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

lesserot@Job:42:4 @ Oh do but hear, and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.

lesserot@Job:42:5 @ I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.

lesserot@Job:42:6 @ Therefore I reject, and repent; because I am dust and ashes.

lesserot@Job:42:7 @ And it came to pass, after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Themanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.

lesserot@Job:42:9 @ Then went Eliphaz the Themanite and Bildad the Shuchite and Zophar the Na’amathite, and did in accordance with what the Lord had spoken to them: and the Lord received Job in favor.

lesserot@Job:42:10 @ And the Lord brought back the captivity of Job, when he prayed in behalf of his friends; and the Lord increased all that Job had had twofold.

lesserot@Job:42:11 @ And then came unto him all his brothers, and all his sisters, and all that had been of his acquaintance before, and ate bread with him in his house; and they condoled with him, and comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him; and they gave him, every one, a kessitah, and every one an earring of gold.

lesserot@Job:42:12 @ And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she–asses.

lesserot@Job:42:13 @ He had also seven sons and three daughters.

lesserot@Job:42:14 @ And he called the name of the first Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren–happuch.

lesserot@Job:42:15 @ And there were not found such handsome women as the daughters of Job in all the land; and their father gave them an inheritance among their brothers.

lesserot@Job:42:16 @ And Job lived after this one hundred and forty years: and he saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.

lesserot@Job:42:17 @ Then died Job, being old and full of days.

lesserot@Psalms:1:1 @ BOOK FIRST: Happy is the man who walketh not in the council of the wicked, and standeth not in the way of sinners, and sitteth not in the seat of scorners;

lesserot@Psalms:1:2 @ But whose delight is in the law of the Lord, and who doth meditate in his law by day and night.

lesserot@Psalms:1:3 @ And he shall be like a tree planted by rivulets of water, that yieldeth its fruit in its season, and the leaf of which doth not wither; and all that he may do shall prosper.

lesserot@Psalms:1:4 @ Not so the wicked; but they are like the chaff which the wind driveth away.

lesserot@Psalms:1:5 @ Therefore shall the wicked not be able to stand in the judgment, nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous.

lesserot@Psalms:1:6 @ For the Lord regardeth the way of the righteous; but the way of the wicked leadeth to perdition.

lesserot@Psalms:2:1 @ Wherefore do nations rage, and people meditate a vain thing?

lesserot@Psalms:2:2 @ The kings of the earth raise themselves up, and rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed:

lesserot@Psalms:2:3 @ "Let us break asunder their bands, and cast away from us their cords."

lesserot@Psalms:2:4 @ He who dwelleth in the heavens will laugh: the Lord will hold them in derision.

lesserot@Proverbs:31:31 @ Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her own works praise her in the gates.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:1 @ The words of Koheleth, the son of David, the king in Jerusalem.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:2 @ Vanity of vanities, saith Koheleth, vanity of vanities: all is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:3 @ What profit hath a man of all his toil which he toil–eth under the sun?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:4 @ One generation passeth away, and another generation cometh; but the earth endureth for ever.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:5 @ The sun also riseth, and the sun goeth down, and striving to reach his place he riseth again there.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:6 @ Going toward the south, and turning round toward the north, the wind moveth round about continually; and around its circles doth the wind return again.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:7 @ All the rivers run into the sea; yet the sea is never full: unto the place whither the rivers go, thither will they continue to go.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:8 @ All things weary themselves; man can not utter them: the eye is never satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:9 @ That which hath been, is the same which will be; and that which hath been done, is the same which will be done; and there is nothing new under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:10 @ If there be any thing whereof it is said, See, this is new: It hath already been in olden times which were before us.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:11 @ there is no recollection of former; and also of the later ones, that are to be––of these there will be no recollection with those that will be still later.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:12 @ I Koheleth was king over Israel in Jerusalem.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:13 @ And I directed my heart to inquire and to search out by wisdom concerning all that is done under the heavens: this is an evil employment which God hath given to the sons of man to busy themselves therewith.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:14 @ I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun: and, behold, all is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:16 @ I spoke with my own heart, saying, Lo, I have truly obtained greater and more wisdom than all those who have been before me over Jerusalem: yea, my heart had seen much wisdom and knowledge.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:17 @ And I directed my heart to know wisdom, and to know madness and folly; I have perceived that this also is a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:1:18 @ For where there is much wisdom there is much vexation: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth pain.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:1 @ Come, then, I said in my heart, I will have a taste of joy, and thou shalt see what is good; but, behold, this also was vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:3 @ I resolved in my heart to indulge my body with wine, while my heart guideth itself with wisdom; and to lay fast hold on folly, till I might see what it is that is good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heavens during the number of the days of their life.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:5 @ I made myself gardens and orchards, and I planted therein trees of all kinds of fruit;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:6 @ I made myself pools of water, to water therewith the forest overgrown with trees;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:8 @ I gathered unto myself also silver and gold, and the choice treasures of kings and of the provinces: I procured myself male singers and female singers, and the delights of the sons of men, wagons and chariots.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:10 @ And whatsoever my eyes desired I refused them not; I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart was rejoiced with all my toil, and this was my portion of all my toil.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:11 @ But when I turned myself on all my works that my hands had wrought, and on the toil that I had toiled to accomplish: then, behold, all was vanity and a torture of the spirit, and there was no profit under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:12 @ And then I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly; for what the man that cometh after the king? that which have done already.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:13 @ But I saw indeed that wisdom hath the advantage over folly, as great as the advantage of light over darkness.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:14 @ The wise man hath his eyes in his head, while the fool walketh in darkness; but I myself perceived then also that one occurrence will befall all of them.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:15 @ Then said I in my heart, The same that befalleth the fool will also befall even me: and why have I then been wiser? Then spoke I in my heart, that this is also vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:16 @ For there is no recollection of the wise any more than of the fool for ever: seeing that which hath long ago been will, in the days that are coming, all be forgotten. And how doth the wise die equally with the fool!

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:17 @ Therefore I hated life; because I felt displeased with the work that is wrought under the sun; for all is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:18 @ Yea, I hated also all my toil with which I had toiled under the sun; because I should have to leave it unto the man that will be after me.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:19 @ And who knoweth, whether he will be a wise man or a fool? yet will he have full sway over all my toil wherein I have toiled, and wherein I have shown myself wise under the sun. Also this is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:20 @ Therefore I turned about to cause my heart to give up thinking of all the toil wherewith I had toiled under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:21 @ For there is many a man whose toil is in wisdom, and in knowledge, and with energy; yet to a man that hath not toiled therefore must he give it as his portion. Also this is vanity and a great evil.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:22 @ For what doth a man obtain of all his toil, and of the torture of his heart, wherewith he toileth under the sun?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:23 @ For all his days are full of pains, and vexation is his employment: yea, even in the night his heart taketh not rest. Also this is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:24 @ It is not a good thing in man that he should eat and drink, and that he should make his soul enjoy happiness for his toil. Also this have I seen, that it cometh out of the hand of God.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:2:26 @ For to a man who is good in his presence giveth wisdom, and knowledge, and joy; but to the sinner he giveth employment, to gather up and to bring together, that he may give it to him that is good before God. Also this is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:1 @ For every thing there is a season; and a time is for every pursuit under the heavens.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:3 @ A time to kill, and a time to heal; a time to break down, and a time to build up;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:5 @ A time to throw away stones, and a time to gather up stones; a time to embrace, and a time to be far from embracing;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:9 @ What profit hath he that worketh in that wherein he toileth?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:10 @ I have seen the employment, which God hath given to the sons of men to busy themselves therewith.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:11 @ Every thing hath he made beautiful in its time: he hath also placed the eternity in their heart, without a man’s being able to find out the work that God hath made from the beginning to the end.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:12 @ I know that there is nothing good in them, but for every one to rejoice and to do what is good during his life.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:14 @ I know that whatsoever God doth, that will be for ever; to it nothing can be added, and from it there is nothing to be diminished: and God hath so made it, that men should be afraid of him.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:16 @ And moreover I have seen under the sun, the place of justice, even there was wickedness; and the place of righteousness, even there was wickedness.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:17 @ I said in my heart, God will judge the righteous and the wicked; for there is a time for every pursuit; and on account of every deed there.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:18 @ I said in my heart concerning the speaking of the sons of men, that God might make it clear to them, and that they might see that they by themselves are but beasts.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:19 @ For that which befalleth the sons of men befalleth beasts; even the same thing befalleth them; as the one dieth, so dieth the other; yea, they have all one kind of spirit: so that the preeminence of man above the beast is nought; for all is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:20 @ Every thing goeth unto one place: every thing came from the dust, and every thing returneth to the dust.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:21 @ Who knoweth the spirit of the sons of man that ascendeth upward, and the spirit of the beast that descendeth downward to the earth?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:3:22 @ And so did I perceive that there is nothing better, than that a man should rejoice in his own works; for that is his portion; for who can bring him to look with pleasure on what will be after him?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:1 @ And I turned about, and beheld all the oppressed that are made so under the sun: and, behold, there are the tears of the oppressed, and they have no comforter; and from the hand of their oppressors they suffer violence; and they have no comforter.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:2 @ Thereupon praised I the dead that are already dead, more than the living who are still alive;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:3 @ And as happier than both of them, him who hath not yet come into being, who hath not seen the evil–doing that is done under the sun.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:4 @ Again, I beheld all the toil, and all the energy in doing, that it is the envy of one man of his neighbor. Also this is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:5 @ The fool foldeth his hands together, and eateth his own flesh.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:6 @ Better is a handful of quiet, than both the hands full of toil and torture of spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:7 @ Then I turned about, and I saw a vanity under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:8 @ There is one alone, and he hath not a companion; yea, he hath neither son nor brother: yet is there no end to all his toil; his eye also is not satisfied with riches. Yet for whom do I toil, and deprive my soul of good? Also this is vanity, yea, it is a bad employment.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:9 @ Two are better than one; because they will have a good reward for their toil.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:10 @ For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow; but woe to the single one that falleth; for he hath no companion to lift him up.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:11 @ Also, if two lie together, then will they become warm; but how can one person alone become warm?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:12 @ And if a man could overpower him, the single one, two would stand up against him: and a threefold cord cannot quickly be torn asunder.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:13 @ Better is a poor and a wise youth than an old and foolish king, who knoweth not how to be admonished any more.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:14 @ For out of the prison cometh the one to reign: whereas also in his kingdom the other becometh poor.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:15 @ I have seen all the living who walk under the sun, being with the second child that is to stand up in his stead.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:4:16 @ There was no end to all the people, to all that have been before them: they also that come after will not rejoice in him. Surely this also is vanity and a torture of the spirit.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:1 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, and it is great on men:

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:2 @ a man to whom God hath given riches, property, and honor, and nothing is wanting for his soul of all that he longeth for: yet God empowereth him not to eat thereof, but a stranger will consume it. This is vanity, and it is an evil disease.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:3 @ If a man were to beget a hundred children, and live many years, so that the days of his years were many, and his soul were not satisfied with what is good, and he have not had even a burial: then do I say, that an untimely birth is better than he.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:5 @ Moreover it never saw the sun, and knew nothing: this hath more rest than the other.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:6 @ Yea, though he were to live a thousand years twice told, and had not seen any good–– doth not every one go to one place?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:7 @ All the toil of a man is for his mouth; and yet is his desire never filled.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:8 @ For what hath the wise more than the fool? what hath the poor, that knoweth to walk before the living?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:9 @ Better is what one seeth with the eyes than the wandering of the desire. Also this is vanity and a torture of the spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:10 @ That which hath been is already called by its name, and it is known that he is a man: and he is not able to contend with him that is mightier than he.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:11 @ For there are many things that increase vanity: what advantage for man?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:6:12 @ For who knoweth what is good for man in this life, the number of the days of his vain life, that he should spend them as a shadow? for who can tell a man what will be after him under the sun?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:1 @ A good name is better than precious oil, and the day of death, better than the day of one’s birth.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:2 @ It is better to go to the house of mourning than to go to the house of feasting; inasmuch as that is the end of all men: and let the living lay it to his heart.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:3 @ Better is vexation than laughing; for through the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:4 @ The heart of the wise is in the house of mourning; but the heart of fools is in the house of joy.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:5 @ It is better to hear the rebuke of the wise, than that a man should hear the song of fools.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:6 @ For as the crackling of thorns under a pot, so is the laughter of the fool. Also this is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:7 @ For oppression maketh a wise man mad; and bribery corrupteth the heart.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:8 @ Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: better is the patient in spirit than the proud in spirit.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:10 @ Thou must not say, How was it that the former days were better than these? for it is not out of wisdom that thou askest concerning this.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:11 @ Wisdom is better than an inheritance, yea, preferable for those that see the sun;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:12 @ For under the shadow of wisdom under the shadow of money; but the superior excellency of knowledge is, that wisdom giveth life to him that possesseth it.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:13 @ Consider the work of God; for who can make straight what he hath made crooked?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:14 @ On the day of prosperity be happy, but on the day of adversity look on: also this hath God made in equal measure with the other, to the end that man should not find the least to censure him.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:15 @ All things have I seen in the days of my vanity: there is many a righteous man that perisheth in his righteousness, and there is many a wicked man that liveth long in his wickedness.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:16 @ Be not righteous over much; neither show thyself over wise: why wouldst thou destroy thyself?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:18 @ It is good that thou shouldst take hold of that, and that also from this thou withdraw not thy hand; for he that feareth God will come forth out of them all.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:19 @ Wisdom giveth more strength to the wise than ten rulers which were in the city.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:20 @ For no man is so righteous upon earth, that he should do always good, and never sin.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:21 @ Also take no heed unto all the words that are spoken: lest thou hear thy servant cursing thee.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:22 @ For oftentimes also doth thy own heart know that thou thyself likewise hast cursed others.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:25 @ Then I turned myself about together with my heart to know, and to search, and to seek out wisdom, and experience, and to know the wickedness of folly, and the foolishness of madness.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:26 @ And I find as more bitter than death the woman, whose heart is snares and nets, and whose hands are bonds: he that is deemed good before God will escape from her; but the sinner will be caught by her.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:27 @ Behold, this have I found, saith Koheleth, one to the other, to find experience,

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:28 @ What my soul constantly sought, but I found it not; one man among a thousand did I find; but a woman among all these did I not find.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:7:29 @ Lo, this only did I find, that God hath made man upright; but they have sought for many devices.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:1 @ Who is like the wise? and who knoweth the explanation of a thing? a man’s wisdom enlighteneth his face, and the boldness of his face will be lessened.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:2 @ I, Keep the king’s command, and that which regardeth the oath by God.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:3 @ Be not hasty to go out of his presence; engage not in an evil thing; for whatsoever pleaseth him, can he do;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:4 @ Because the word of a king is powerful; and who may say unto him, What doest thou?––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:5 @ Whoso keepeth the commandment will experience no evil thing: and a wise man’s heart knoweth both time and the just consequence.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:6 @ Because for every pursuit there is a time and a just consequence; for the evil of man heavily upon him.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:7 @ For he knoweth not that which will be; for who can tell him how it will be?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:8 @ No man hath control over the spirit to detain the spirit; and there is no control over the day of death; and there is no representation in that war; and wickedness will not deliver those that practise it.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:9 @ All this have I seen, and directed my heart unto every work that is done under the sun: there is a time when one man ruleth over another to his own injury.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:10 @ Then also did I see the wicked buried, who had gone to their rest; but those who had acted correctly had to go away from the holy place, and were forgotten in the city. Also this is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:11 @ Because the punishment against evil deeds is not executed speedily, therefore is the heart of the sons of men filled up in them to do evil.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:12 @ But let a sinner do evil a hundred times, and withhold long his punishment from him; still do I truly know for certain that it will be well with those that fear God, because they are afraid of him;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:13 @ And that it will not be well with the wicked, and that he will not endure many days, like the shadow; because he is not afraid of God.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:14 @ There is a vanity which is done upon the earth, that there are righteous men, unto whom it happeneth in accordance with the deeds of the wicked; again, there are wicked men, to whom it happeneth in accordance with the deeds of the righteous. I said that this also is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:15 @ Therefore do I praise joyfulness, that there is nothing better for man under the sun, than to eat, and to drink, and to be joyful; for this will adhere to him in his toil, during the days of his life which God hath given him under the sun.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:16 @ When I applied my heart to know wisdom, and to see the employment that is done upon the earth, how even neither by day nor by night sleep is seen in the eyes of some men:

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:8:17 @ Then did I see the whole work of God, that a man is not able to find out the work that is done under the sun; inasmuch as though a man were to toil to seek for it, he would yet not find it; and even if the wise were to think to know it, he would yet not be able to find it.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:1 @ For all this did I reflect over in my heart and to explain all this, that the righteous, and the wise, and their services, are in the hand of God: that man knoweth neither love nor hatred; it is all before them;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:2 @ Every thing as it is to happen to all; there is but one occurrence for the righteous, and for the wicked; for the good and for the clean, and for the unclean; and for him that sacrificeth, and for him that sacrificeth not; as is the good, so is the sinner; he that sweareth, as he that feareth an oath.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:3 @ This is an evil among all things that are done under the sun, that there is one occurrence for all, and that also the heart of the sons of men is full of evil, and that madness is in their heart while they live, and after this they go to the dead.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:4 @ For whoever is yet united with all the living hath still hope; for a living dog fareth better than a dead lion.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:5 @ For the living know that they will die; but the dead know not the least; nor have they longer any reward; for their memory is forgotten.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:6 @ Also their love, and their hatred, and their envy, are now already lost; and they will have never more a portion in all that is done under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:7 @ Go, eat with joy thy bread, and drink with a merry heart thy wine, if God have already received thy works in favor.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:8 @ At all times let thy garments be white, and let oil not be wanting on thy head.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:9 @ Enjoy life with the wife whom thou lovest all the days of the life of thy vanity, which God hath given thee under the sun, all the days of thy vanity; for this is thy portion in this life, and in thy toil with which thou toilest under the sun.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:10 @ Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do with thy might, that do; for there is no work, nor experience, nor knowledge, nor wisdom, in the nether world, whither thou goest.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:11 @ I turned about, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the battle to the mighty; and that also the wise have no bread, nor yet the men of understanding riches, nor yet men of knowledge favor; but time and fate will overtake them all.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:12 @ For man also knoweth not his time, like the fishes that are caught in an evil net, and like the birds that are caught in the snare: like these are the sons of men ensnared at an evil time, when it falleth upon them suddenly.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:13 @ Also in this manner have I seen wisdom under the sun, and it seemed great unto me:

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:14 @ There was a little city, and the men therein were few; and there came against it a great king, who enclosed it, and built around it great works of siege;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:15 @ But there was found in it a poor wise man, and he delivered the city by his wisdom; yet no man had thought of that same poor man.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:16 @ Then said I, Wisdom is better than might: although the poor man’s wisdom is held in contempt, and his words are not heard.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:9:17 @ The words of wise men heard in quiet are better than the cry of him that ruleth among fools.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:1 @ Dead flies cause the precious oil of the apothecary to become stinking and foaming; so doth a little folly him that is valued for wisdom and honor.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:2 @ The heart of a wise man is at his right hand; but the heart of a fool is at his left.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:3 @ Yea also, on whatever way the fool walketh, doth he lack proper sense, and he saith to all that he is a fool.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:4 @ If the spirit of the ruler rise up against thee, leave not thy place; for submissiveness causeth great offences to be avoided.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:5 @ There is an evil which I have seen under the sun, like an error which proceedeth from the ruler:

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:6 @ Folly is set in great high places, and the rich sit in lowness.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:7 @ I have seen servants on horses, and princes walking like servants upon the ground.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:8 @ He that diggeth a pit will fall into it; and him who breaketh down a fence––a serpent will bite him.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:9 @ Whoso removeth stones will be hurt through them; and he that cleaveth wood will be endangered thereby.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:10 @ If the iron be blunt, and man do not whet the edge, then must he exert more strength; but the advantage of making it properly sharp is wisdom.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:11 @ If the serpent do bite because no one uttered a charm, then hath the man that can use his tongue no preference.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:12 @ The words of a wise man’s mouth grace; but the lips of a fool will destroy himself.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:13 @ The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness; and the last that cometh out of his mouth is evil–bringing madness.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:14 @ The fool also multiplieth words; a man cannot know what is to be; and what is to be after him, who can tell him?

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:15 @ The toil of the foolish will weary every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:16 @ Woe to thee, O land, when thy king is lowminded, and when thy princes eat in the morning!

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:17 @ Happy art thou, O land, when thy king is noble–spirited, and thy princes eat in proper time, for strengthening, and not for gluttony!––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:18 @ Through slothful hands the rafters will sink; and through idleness of the hands the house will become leaky.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:19 @ For gay pleasure they prepare a feast, and wine is to make the living joyful; but money procureth all things.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:10:20 @ Even in thy thought thou must not curse a king; and in thy bed–chambers do not curse the rich; for a bird of the air can carry the sound, and that which hath wings can tell the word.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:1 @ Cast thy bread upon the face of the waters; for after many days wilt thou find it again.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:2 @ Give a portion to seven, and also to eight: for thou knowest not what evil may come upon the earth.––

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:3 @ If the clouds be full of rain, they will empty it out upon the earth; and if the tree fall toward the south, or toward the north, on the place where the tree falleth, there will it remain.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:4 @ He that watcheth the wind will not sow; and he that gazeth on the clouds will not reap.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:5 @ As thou knowest not which is the way of the wind, as little as what is enclosed in the womb of her that is with child: even so thou canst not know the works of God who maketh all.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:6 @ In the morning sow thy seed, and in the evening let not thy hand rest; for thou knowest not which will succeed, whether this or that, or whether both of them will be alike good.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:7 @ Truly the light is sweet, and it is a pleasant thing for the eyes to see the sun;

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:8 @ For if a man live many years, let him rejoice in them all; and let him remember the days of darkness; for they will be many; all that cometh is vanity.

lesserot@Ecclesiastes:11:9 @ Rejoice, O young man, in thy childhood; and let thy heart cheer thee in the days of thy youthful vigor, and walk firmly in the ways of thy heart, and in thy eyes see: but know thou, that concerning all these things God will bring thee into judgment.
