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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:1:2 @ And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:1:3 @ And his cattle consisted of seven thousand sheep, and three thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred sheasses, and he had a very great store of servants: so that this man was greater than all the sons of the east.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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 burntofferings 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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:1:9 @ Then answered the Accuser the Lord, and said, Is it for nought that Job feareth God?
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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 firstborn brother,
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:1:14 @ That a messenger came unto Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the sheasses were feeding beside them:
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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 firstborn brother:
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:1:20 @ Then arose Job, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and prostrated himself.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:1:21 @ And he said, Naked came I out of my mothers womb, and naked shall I return thither: the Lord gave, and the Lord hath taken away; may the name of the Lord be blessed.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:1:22 @ With all this did Job not sin, and attributed no injustice to God.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:2:6 @ Then said the Lord unto the Accuser, Behold, he is in thy hand: only take care of his life.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:2:8 @ And took himself a potsherd to scrape himself there with, while he was sitting down among the ashes.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:2:9 @ Then said his wife unto him, Art thou still holding fast to thy integrity? renounce God, and die.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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 Naamthite; and they met together to come to condole with him and to comfort him.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:1 @ After this time Job opened his mouth, and cursed his day.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:2 @ And Job commenced, and said,
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:4 @ May that day be darkness; may not God from above inquire for it, and may no light beam upon it.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:6 @ Yon nightlet 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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:7 @ Lo, may that night be solitary, let no song of joy occur thereon.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:8 @ Let those denounce it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning cry.
sf_leeser_rev1@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 morningdawn;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:10 @ Because God closed not against me the doors of the womb, and thus concealed trouble from my eyes.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:11 @ Why did I not die from the womb, and was I not born merely to perish at once?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:12 @ Wherefore were knees ready to receive me? and for what purpose were breasts there that I might suck?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:13 @ For now should I be lying still and be quiet; I should sleep: then would I be at rest,
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:14 @ With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build up ruined places for themselves;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:15 @ Or with princes possessing gold, who fill their houses with silver;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:16 @ Or as an untimely birth, hidden I should not exist; as infants that never have seen the light;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:17 @ There the wicked cease from troubling; and where the exhausted weary are at rest;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:18 @ the prisoners repose together, they hear no more the taskmasters voice.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:19 @ The small with the great is there, and the servant free from his master.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:20 @ Wherefore giveth He now light to the laborladen, and life unto the bitter in soul?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:21 @ Who wait for death, which not; and who dig for it sooner than for hidden treasures;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:22 @ Who would rejoice even to exulting, who would be glad could they but find a grave?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:23 @ to a man whose way is hidden, and around whom God hath placed a fence?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:24 @ For before my food cometh my groaning, and like the water are poured forth my loud complaints.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:25 @ Because what I greatly dreaded is come upon me, and what I apprehended is come unto me.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:3:26 @ I have had no safety, and no quiet, and no rest; and harrowing trouble is come.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:1 @ Then answered Eliphaz the Themanite, and said,
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:2 @ If we essay to address a word to thee, wilt thou be wearied? yet who is able to refrain from speaking?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:3 @ Behold, thou hast corrected many, and weak hands thou wast wont to strengthen.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:4 @ Him that stumbled thy words used to uphold, and to sinking knees thou gavest vigor.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:5 @ Yet now, when it cometh to thee, thou art wearied: it toucheth even thee, and thou art terrified.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:6 @ Is not then thy fear of God still thy confidence, thy hope equal to the integrity of thy ways?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:7 @ Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous destroyed?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:8 @ Even as I have seen, that those who plough wrongdoing, and sow trouble, have to reap the same.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:9 @ Before the breathing of God they perish, and before the breath of his nostrils they come to their end.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:10 @ The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:11 @ The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the whelps of the lioness have to scatter themselves abroad.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:12 @ But to me a word came by stealth, and my ear took in a scarcely perceptible whisper thereof.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:13 @ In intense thoughts out of visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:14 @ Dread came over me, with trembling, and it caused all my bones to shudder.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:15 @ Then flitted a spirit past before my face; the hair of my body stood up:
sf_leeser_rev1@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,
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:17 @ Can a mortal be more righteous than God? or can a man be more pure than his Maker?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:18 @ Behold, in his servants he putteth no trust, and his angels he chargeth with folly:
sf_leeser_rev1@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?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:20 @ From morning to evening are they broken to pieces: without laying it they perish for ever.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:4:21 @ Behold, their excellency which is in them is torn away: they die, and this without wisdom.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:1 @ Do but call: is there one that will answer thee? and to whom of the saints wilt thou turn thyself?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:2 @ For vexation will prove death to a foolish man, and jealousy will slay the simple.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:3 @ I have myself seen the foolish taking root; but I suddenly held his habitation as accursed.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:4 @ His children are far from help, and men crush them in the gate, with no one to deliver them.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:6 @ For wrong doth not come forth out of the dust, neither doth trouble grow up out of the ground;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:7 @ But man is born unto trouble, as young birds take up their flight.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:8 @ I, however, would have besought God, and unto God would I have committed my cause;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:9 @ Who doth great things which are unsearchable, marvelous things till they are without number;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:10 @ Who giveth rain upon the surface of the earth, and sendeth out waters over the face of the fields;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:11 @ To set up the lowly on high, that those who mourn may rise high to happiness;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:12 @ who frustrateth the plans of the crafty, so that their hands cannot execute their welldevised counsel;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:13 @ Who catcheth the wise in their own craftiness; and the advise of the perverse is hastened on headlong;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:14 @ By day they meet with darkness, and as though it were night they grope about in the noon of day;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:15 @ But who saveth from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty, the needy one:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:16 @ And so cometh to the indigent hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:17 @ Behold, happy is the man whom God admonisheth: despise then not the correction of the Almighty.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:18 @ For he it is that woundeth, and bindeth up: he smiteth, and his hands do heal.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:19 @ In six distresses will he deliver thee; and in seven there shall no evil touch thee.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:20 @ In famine he redeemeth thee from death; and in war from the power of the sword.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:21 @ Against the scourge of the tongue shall thou he hidden; and thou needest not be afraid of destruction when it cometh.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:22 @ At destruction and famine canst thou laugh; and thou needest not have any fear of the beasts of the earth.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:25 @ And thou shalt know that thy seed is numerous, and thy offspring as the herbage of the earth.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:26 @ Thon wilt go in a ripe age unto the grave, as a shock of corn is carried home in its season.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:5:27 @ Behold this, we have searched it out, so it is: hear it, and do thou note it well for thyself.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,
sf_leeser_rev1@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!
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:3 @ For now it is already heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore are my words confused.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:5 @ Doth the wild ass bray over the grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:6 @ Is ever tasteless food eaten without salt? or is there any flavor in the white of an egg?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:7 @ My soul refuseth to touch them: they are unto me like disgusting food.
sf_leeser_rev1@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!
sf_leeser_rev1@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!
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:11 @ What is my strength, that I should wait? and what my end, that I should yet longer retain my patience?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:12 @ Is the strength of stones my strength? or is my flesh brazen?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:13 @ Truly, am I not without my help in me? and is not wise counsel driven far away from me?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:14 @ As though I were one who refuseth kindness to his friend, and forsaketh the fear of the Almighty:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:15 @ My brothers are treacherous as a brook, like flowing brooks they pass along;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:16 @ Which are made turbid by reason of the ice, wherein the snow hideth itself;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:17 @ At the time when they feel the warmth, they vanish; when it is hot, they are quenched out of their place.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:18 @ The paths of their course wind themselves along; they go in the wilderness and are lost.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:19 @ The caravans of Thema look hither, the travelling companies Sheba hope for them;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:20 @ But they stand ashamed because they had trusted; they come thither and are made to blush.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:21 @ For truly now ye are like such a one: ye see my terrible state and are afraid.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:22 @ Have I then ever said, Give me something, and out of your property offer a bribe in my behalf?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:23 @ And deliver me from the hand of the adversary? and redeem from the hand of tyrants?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:24 @ Teach me, and I will indeed remain silent; and wherein I erred give me to understand.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:25 @ How pleasant are straightforward words! but what doth arguing prove?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:26 @ Do ye think to reprove words, and as wind the speeches of one that is despairing?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:27 @ Yea, ye would cast any thing upon the fatherless, and ye would dig a pit against your friend.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:28 @ But now, if it please you, turn yourselves toward me, and whether I would lie before your face.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:29 @ Reflect again, I pray you, there will be no wrong: yea, reflect once more, my righteousness therein.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:6:30 @ Is there any wrong on my tongue? or should my palate not understand what is iniquitous?
sf_leeser_rev1@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?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:2 @ As a servant eagerly longeth for the shadow, and as a hired laborer hopeth for his reward:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:3 @ So was I compelled to possess months of vanity, and nights of trouble were counted out unto me.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:5 @ My flesh is covered with worms and clods of dust: my skin is burst open, and become loathsome.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:6 @ My days hasten away more swiftly than a weavers shuttle, and they come to an end in the absence of hope.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:7 @ Oh remember that nothing but a breath is my life; that my eye will not again see happiness;
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:9 @ As the cloud vanisheth and passeth away: so will he that goeth down to the nether world not come up again.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:10 @ He will return no more to his house, and his place will not recognize him any more.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:12 @ Am I a sea, or a monster, that thou settest a watch over me?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:13 @ For should I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall help me bear my complaint:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:14 @ Then wouldst thou frighten me with dreams, and with visions wouldst thou terrify me;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:15 @ So that my soul would choose strangling, death rather than these limbs of mine.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:16 @ I loathe it; I cannot live for ever: let me alone; for my days are but nought.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:17 @ What is the mortal, that thou shouldst make him great? and that thou shouldst direct thy heart toward him?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:18 @ And that thou shouldst visit him every morning, probe him every moment?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:7:19 @ How long wilt thou not turn thy regard from me, nor let; me loose till I swallow down my spittle?
sf_leeser_rev1@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?
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:2 @ How long wilt thou speak these things? and like a mighty wind be the words of thy mouth?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:3 @ Should God pervert justice? or should the Almighty pervert righteousness?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:4 @ If thy children have sinned against him, then did he send them off through the means of their transgression.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:5 @ If thou wilt earnestly seek for God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:6 @ If thou become pure and upright: surely then will he watch over thee, and restore thy righteous habitation.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:7 @ And thy beginning will have been small; because thy latter end will grow up greatly.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:8 @ For ask, I pray thee, of an earlier generation, and prepare thyself to the research of their fathers;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:9 @ For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because a shadow are our days upon earth;
sf_leeser_rev1@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:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:11 @ Can the bulrush shoot upward without mire? can the meadowgrass grow up without water?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:12 @ It is yet in its greenness, not yet cut down, when it withereth before any other grass.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:13 @ So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hope of the hypocrite will perish:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:14 @ whose trust will be cut off, and but a spiders web is that in which he confideth.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:16 @ He is in full vigor before the sun, and over his garden his shoots go forth.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:17 @ His roots are twisted about a stoneheap, he selecteth a place of stones.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:18 @ But when men destroy him from his place, then will it deny him, saying, I have never seen thee.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:19 @ Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the dust others will grow up.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:20 @ Behold, God will not reject a perfect man, and will not hold fast by their hand the evildoers:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:21 @ Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with joyful shouting.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:8:22 @ They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the tent of the wicked shall be no more.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:2 @ Truly I know that it is so: and how could a mortal be righteous before God?
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:4 @ He is wise of heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and escaped unscathed?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:5 @ who removeth mountains, and they know it not, yea, when he overturneth them in his anger;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:6 @ Who shaketh the earth loose out of her place, that her pillars tremble;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:7 @ Who speaketh to the sun, and he shineth not, and around the stars he placeth a seal;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:8 @ Who spread out the heavens by himself alone, and treadeth upon the hillocks of the sea;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:9 @ Who made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers the south;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:10 @ Who doth great things which are quite unsearchable, and wonders which are quite without number.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:12 @ Behold, were he to snatch aught away, who could hold him back? who would say unto him, What dost thou?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:13 @ God will not withdraw his anger: beneath him sink down the helpers of the proud.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:14 @ How much less then could I answer him, and select my words with him?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:15 @ Whom, were I even righteous, I could not answer? to him that condemneth me I could make supplication.
sf_leeser_rev1@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
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:17 @ He that bruiseth me with tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without a cause.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:18 @ He suffereth me not to recover my breath; but feedeth me overmuch with bitter things.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:19 @ If it regard strength, lo, he is the powerful; and if justice, who will cite him for me to appear?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:20 @ If I were righteous even, my own mouth would condemn me: were I innocent, it would still prove me perverse.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:21 @ I am innocent; I will not have regard for myself: I will despise my life.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:22 @ One thing is , therefore have I said it, The innocent and the wicked he bringeth to their end.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:23 @ If a scourge should slay suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the guiltless.
sf_leeser_rev1@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?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:25 @ And my days pass swifter than a runner: they flee away, they see no happiness,
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:26 @ They hasten along like pirate ships: like the eagle that stoopeth down upon his food.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my sorrowful countenance, and recover my cheerfulness:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:28 @ O then would I be in dread of all my pains; I know that thou wilt not declare me innocent.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:29 @ I must ever be guilty: why then should I fatigue myself for nought?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:30 @ If I were to wash myself in snowwater, to cleanse myself in the purity of my hands:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:31 @ Even then wouldst thou plunge me in the ditch, that my own clothes would render me abhorred.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:32 @ For he is not a man, like me, that I could answer him, that we should enter together into a contest.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:33 @ There is no one who can decide between us, who could lay his hand upon us both.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:34 @ Let him but remove from me his rod, and let not his dread terrify me:
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:9:35 @ Then would I speak, and not fear him; for the like I feel not within me.
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:2 @ I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; let me know for what cause thou contendest against me.
sf_leeser_rev1@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?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:4 @ Hast thou eyes of flesh? or wilt thou see as a mortal seeth?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:5 @ Are thy days as the days of a mortal, or are thy years as the days of a man,
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:6 @ That thou inquirest after my iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:8 @ Thy hands have carefully fashioned me and made me; every thing is in harmony all round about; and yet thou dost destroy me!
sf_leeser_rev1@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?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:10 @ Behold, like milk didst thou pour me out, and like cheese didst thou curdle me.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:11 @ With skin and flesh didst thou clothe me, and with bones and sinews didst thou cover me.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:12 @ Life and kindness didst thou grant me, and thy providence watched over my spirit.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:13 @ And yet these things hadst thou treasured up in thy heart: I know that this was within thee.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:14 @ If I have sinned, then dost thou watch me, and from my iniquity thou wilt not declare me guiltless.
sf_leeser_rev1@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;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:16 @ And it constantly increaseth; like a fierce lion dost thou hunt for me; and again thou showest thyself continually wonderful on me;
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:17 @ Thou ever renewest thy witnesses against me, and causest thy indignation to grow strong against me; changes and multitudes are around me.
sf_leeser_rev1@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!
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:19 @ That I were as though I had not been,had been borne from the womb to the grave.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:20 @ Lo! my days are but few: cease, then, withdraw from me , that I may recover my cheerfulness a little.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:10:21 @ Before I go, and return not, to the land of darkness and the shadow of death,
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:1 @ Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said.
sf_leeser_rev1@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?
sf_leeser_rev1@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!
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:4 @ For thou hast said , My doctrine is pure, and I am become clean in thy eyes.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:5 @ But oh that God would but speak, and open his lips against thee;
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:7 @ Canst thou find out the experience of God? or canst thou find unto the utmost limit of the Almighty?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:8 @ It is as high as heaven; what canst thou effect? it is deeper than the nether world; what canst thou know?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:9 @ Longer than the earth is its measure, and broader than the sea.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:10 @ If he pass by, and surrender , and call together an assembly, who can hinder him?
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:11 @ For he knoweth the men of vanity: he seeth the wrongdoer and him who considereth not;
sf_leeser_rev1@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.
sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:13 @ If thou truly direct thy heart, and spread out thy hands toward him:
