sf_leeser_rev1@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 she–asses, 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 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.

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 first–born brother,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:1:14 @ That a messenger came unto Job, and said, The oxen were ploughing, and the she–asses 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 first–born 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 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.

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 Na’amthite; 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 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.

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 morning–dawn;

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 taskmaster’s 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 labor–laden, 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 wrong–doing, 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 well–devised 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 weaver’s 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 meadow–grass 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 spider’s 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 evil–doers:

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:9:11 @ 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:9:20 @ 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:9:23 @ 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:9:33 @ There is no one who can decide between us, who could lay his hand upon us both.

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:10:10 @ 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: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:11:15 @ For then canst thou lift up thy face free from blemish: yea, thou wilt stand steadfast, and needest not to fear;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:16 @ Because thou wilt truly forget thy trouble, and as a waterflood that is passed away wilt thou remember it;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:17 @ And brighter than the noon of day will thy earthly existence arise; and thy obscurity will be like thy morning.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:11:19 @ Also thou wilt stretch thyself out , with none to make thee afraid; and many will entreat thy favor.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:12:16 @ With him are strength and counsel: his are the deceived and the deceiver.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:12:17 @ He leadeth counsellors away bereft of sense, and maketh the judges fools.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:12:18 @ He looseth the bond of kings, and bindeth a girdle around their loins.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:12:19 @ He leadeth priests away bereft of sense, and the powerful he causeth to walk on crooked paths.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:12:20 @ He removeth the speech from trusty speakers, and taketh away the intelligence of the aged.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:12:21 @ He poureth contempt upon princes, and the belt of the mighty be looseneth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:12:22 @ He layeth open deep things from the midst of darkness, and bringeth out unto light the shadow of death.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:12:23 @ He permitteth the nations to become great, and destroyeth them: he spreadeth out the nations, and leadeth them away.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:13:2 @ As much as ye know, do I also know: I do not fall short compared with you.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:13:3 @ However, I would gladly speak to the Almighty; and to argue with God do I desire.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:6 @ And he hath placed me here as a by–word unto nations; and I become openly as a place of abomination.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:7 @ Therefore is my eye dim from vexation, and my limbs are all of them like a shadow.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:8 @ Upright men must be astonished at this, and the innocent must arouse himself against the hypocrite.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:9 @ Yet will the righteous hold firmly on to his way; and he that is clean of hands will acquire additional strength.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:10 @ But all of you, do only return, and come but : and yet I shall not find among you one wise man.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:11 @ My days are past, my resolves are broken off, ––the possessions of my heart.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:12 @ These would change the night into day, the light as near in the presence of darkness.––

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:13 @ When I hope for the nether world as my house; in the darkness have I spread my couch;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:14 @ When I call to corruption, Thou art my father: Thou art my mother, and my sister, to the worms.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:15 @ Ay, where is then my hope? as for my hope, who will see it ?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:17:16 @ Let then my limbs sink down to the nether world: truly in the dust alone there is rest for all.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:1 @ Then answered Bildad the Shuchite, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:2 @ When will ye at length put an end to words? Come to an understanding, and afterward let us speak.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:3 @ For what cause are we counted as beasts, reputed stupid your eyes?

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:5 @ Ah, truly the light of the wicked will be quenched, and the spark of his fire shall not give light.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:6 @ The light becometh dark in his tent, and his lamp will be quenched above him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:7 @ His powerful steps will be narrowed, and his own counsel will cast him down.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:8 @ For he is driven into the net by his own feet, and he taketh his walk upon a snare.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:9 @ The trap will seize him by the heel, and the robber will prevail over him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:10 @ The cord is hidden for him in the ground, and a trap is set for him on the pathway.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:11 @ All around do terrors scare him, and chase him as he walketh along.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:12 @ His first–born will suffer hunger, and calamity will be ready for his wife.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:13 @ It will devour the limbs of his body: yea, the first–born of death will devour his limbs.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:14 @ Then will be plucked up out of his tent his confidence, and will urge him forward to the king of terrors.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:15 @ It will dwell in his tent, because it is no more his: there will be strewed sulphur on his habitation.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:16 @ Beneath, his roots will be dried up, and above will his boughs he cut away.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:17 @ His resemblance vanisheth from the earth, and no name remaineth for him in the streets.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:18 @ Men will thrust him out from light into darkness, and out of the world will they drive him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:19 @ He will have neither son nor grandson among his people, nor any that escapeth in the places of his sojourning.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:20 @ Because of his day are they that come after him astonished, and they that went before are seized with shuddering.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:18:21 @ Yea, such are the dwellings of the unjust, and this is the place of one that knew not God.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:2 @ How long will ye grieve my soul, and crush me with words?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:3 @ These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed when ye show yourselves as strangers to me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:4 @ Yea, if it be indeed that I have erred, let my error remain with myself.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:5 @ But if indeed ye wish to magnify yourselves above me, and to prove against me my disgrace:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:6 @ Then know for certain that God hath bent me down, and hath laid his net all around me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:7 @ Behold, I cry out concerning the violence , but I am not answered: I entreat aloud, but there is no justice.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:8 @ My road hath he fenced up, so that I cannot pass out; and on my paths he placeth darkness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:9 @ My glory hath he stripped from me, and removed the crown of my head.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:11 @ He hath also kindled against me his wrath, and he counteth me with himself as one of his adversaries.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:12 @ Altogether come on his troops, and make level against me their way, and encamp round about my tent.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:13 @ My brothers hath he removed far from me, and my acquaintance are entirely estranged from me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:14 @ My near of kin have withdrawn, and those befriended by me have forgotten me.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:16 @ I call for my servant, but he will not answer, though I were to entreat him with my mouth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:17 @ My breath is become nauseous to my wife, and my caressing, to the children of my own body.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:18 @ Yea, children even despise me: I rise up, but they speak against me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:19 @ All that have had my confidence abominate me; and those whom I have loved are turned against me.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:21 @ Spare me, spare me, O ye, my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:22 @ Why will ye persecute me as God , and will never be satisfied with my flesh?

sf_leeser_rev1@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!

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:24 @ That they were hewn with an iron pen and lead for eternity in the hard rock!

sf_leeser_rev1@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 ;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:26 @ And after my skin is cut to pieces will this be: and then freed from my body shall I behold God;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:27 @ Whom I shall myself behold to my happiness, and whom my eyes will see, and not as a stranger, my reins are consumed within my bosom.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:19:28 @ But if ye should say, How will we pursue him? seeing the root of the matter is found in me:

sf_leeser_rev1@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 .

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:1 @ Then answered Zophar the Na’amathite, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:3 @ Reproof which casteth shame on me must I hear; yet out of my understanding will the spirit give me an answer.

sf_leeser_rev1@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,

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:6 @ Though his exaltation should mount up to the heavens, and his head should reach unto the clouds;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:7 @ Yet when he but turneth round will he vanish for ever; those who have seen him will say, Where is he?

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:9 @ If an eye have surveyed him, it will not do so again, and it will not behold him any more in his place.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:10 @ His children will suffer oppression from the indigent, and his hands will have to restore his wealth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:11 @ his bones are full of his youthful vigor; but it will lie down with him in the dust.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:12 @ If the evil be sweet in his mouth, he will conceal it under his tongue;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:13 @ He will cherish it, and not forsake it; and hold it back within his palate;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:14 @ His food is thus changed within his bowels, and becometh the venom of asps within him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:15 @ The wealth which he hath swallowed, will he have to vomit up again; God will drive it out of his belly.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:16 @ The poison of asps will he have to suck; the viper’s tongue will slay him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:17 @ He shall not look with pleasure on streams, on flowing brooks of honey and cream.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:19 @ Because he oppressed and forsook the indigent; because he took violently away a house, shall he not rebuild it;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:20 @ Because he knew not quietness in his bosom, shall he not escape through what is the most precious to him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:21 @ Nothing was spared from his craving to eat: therefore shall his wealth not prosper.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:22 @ In the fulness of his abundance will distress assail him: every hand of troubled will come against him.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:24 @ If he flee from the iron weapon, the brazen bow will strike him through.

sf_leeser_rev1@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 .

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:26 @ Entire darkness is laid by for his treasures: a fire not urged by blowing will consume him; it will destroy any one that is left in his tent.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:27 @ The heavens will lay open his iniquity; and the earth will raise herself up against him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:28 @ The product of his house will be banished, flowing away on the day of his wrath.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:20:29 @ This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and his decreed heritage from God.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:1 @ Then answered Job, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:2 @ Hear, O hear my speech, and let this be wherewith you give consolations.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:3 @ Bear with me that I may indeed speak: and after my speaking, then canst thou mock.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:4 @ As for me,––is against man my complaint? and if this be so, why should my spirit not be impatient?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:5 @ Turn yourselves unto me, and be astounded, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:6 @ Yea, when I think of it, I am terrified, and shuddering seizeth hold of my flesh.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:7 @ Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, grow strong in power?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:8 @ Their seed is firmly established in their presence with them. their offspring are before their eyes.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:9 @ Their houses are at peace without any dread, and no rod of God over them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:10 @ The bull of each one gendereth, and disappointeth not: the cow of each one calveth, and casteth not her young.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:11 @ They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children skip about .

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:12 @ They sing to the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the pipe.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:13 @ They wear out their days in happiness, and in a moment they go down to the nether world.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:14 @ And yet they say unto God, "Depart from us; and the knowledge of thy ways we desire not.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:15 @ What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit shall we have, if we entreat him urgently?"

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:16 @ Lo, not in their hand doth their happiness rest! The counsel of the wicked be far from me.

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:18 @ Are they as straw before the wind, and as chaff which the stealeth away?

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:20 @ His own eyes ought to see his downfall, and from the wrath of the Almighty ought he to drink.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:22 @ Is this fitting God, who teacheth knowledge? him who judgeth those that are highest?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:23 @ That this one dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:24 @ His vessels being full of healthy fluid, and the marrow of his bones being well moistened:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:32 @ Yea he will indeed be carried to the grave, and men will quickly think of his monument:

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:21:34 @ How then will ye comfort me with vanity? and of your answers there remaineth only deception.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:1 @ Then answered Eliphaz the Themanite, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:2 @ Can a man be serviceable unto God? Truly the intelligent is serviceable unto himself.

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:4 @ Is it out of fear of thee that he will reproach thee? or go with thee into judgment?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:5 @ Is not thy evil great? and no end to thy iniquities?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:6 @ For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brothers for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:7 @ Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and from the hungry thou hast withholden bread.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:8 @ But as for the man of a strong arm, he obtained the land, and the highly honored could dwell therein.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:9 @ Widows hast thou sent away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:10 @ Therefore are snares round about thee, and sudden dread terrifieth thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:11 @ Or seest thou not the darkness? and the abundance of water which covereth thee?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:12 @ Is not God in the height of heaven? and beholding the highest elevation of the stars, however high they are?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:13 @ But thou sayest, "What doth God know? can he judge behind the darkness?

sf_leeser_rev1@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."

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:16 @ Who were shrivelled up before their time, whose foundation was flooded away like a river;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:17 @ Who said unto God, "’Depart from us:" and what wrought the Almighty for them?

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:24 @ And throw down in the dust precious metals, and Ophir to the stones of the brooks:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:25 @ Then will the Almighty be thy precious metal, and brightly–shining silver unto thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:22:26 @ For then wilt thou have in the Almighty thy delight, and thou canst lift up unto God thy face.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:23:3 @ Oh who would grant that I knew where I might find him! that I might attain to his Judgment throne!

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:23:4 @ I would put in order before him my cause, and my mouth would I fill with arguments.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:23:5 @ I should know the words which he might answer me, and understand what he might say unto me.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:23:10 @ But he knoweth the way that I take: were he to probe me, I should come forth as gold.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:23:11 @ On his steps my foot hath held fast: his way have I kept, and swerved not.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:23:13 @ But he is unchangeably one, and who can turn him? And what his will desireth, even that he doth.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:23:15 @ Therefore am I terrified at his presence: I will reflect, and be in dread of him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:23:16 @ Still God hath made timid my heart, and the Almighty hath terrified me;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:23:17 @ Because I was not destroyed before this darkness, and because he hath not hidden from my face gloom.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:26:8 @ He bound up the waters in his clouds; and the cloud bursteth not under their weight;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:26:9 @ He closed up the surface of his throne, spreading over it his cloud;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:26:10 @ A fixed limit he compassed off over the face of the waters, for the division of the light and darkness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:26:11 @ The pillars of heaven tremble greatly, and are astounded at his rebuke.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:26:12 @ By his power he split in pieces the sea, and by his understanding he crushed pride:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:26:13 @ By his breath the heavens beauty; his hand hath created the flying serpent.

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:1 @ And Job continued taking up his parable, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:2 @ As God liveth, who hath removed justice from me; and by the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:3 @ All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:4 @ Shall my lips not speak any wrong, nor shall my tongue utter deceit.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:7 @ Like the wicked is my enemy, and he that riseth up against me like a wrong–doer.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:8 @ For what is the hope of the hypocrite, when he hath gained unjust wealth, when God casteth forth his soul?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:9 @ Will God hear his cry, when distress cometh upon him?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:10 @ Or can he find delight in the Almighty? can he call on God at all times?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:11 @ I will instruct you concerning what is in the hand of God: which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:12 @ Lo! ye yourselves have all beheld it: why is it then that ye deal in such vanities?

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:14 @ If his children be multiplied, it is only for the sword; and his offspring will not be satisfied with bread.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:15 @ Those of his that are left to escape will be buried by death; and his widows will not be able to weep.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:16 @ Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare garments as the clay:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:17 @ He may prepare, but the righteous will clothe himself , and the silver the innocent will divide.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:18 @ He buildeth his house like the moth, and like a hut that a keeper hath made.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:19 @ Rich will he lie down, but will not be gathered : one openeth his eyes, and he is no more.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:20 @ Like a flood will terror overtake him, in the night a tempest will steal him away.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:22 @ And will cast upon him, and bare no pity: out of his hand will surely escape.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:27:23 @ Men will clap their hands over him, and will hiss after him out of his place.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:1 @ For truly there is a source for the silver, and a place for the gold which men refine.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:2 @ Iron is taken out of the dust, and the stone is melted into copper.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:4 @ He breaketh a channel far from the inhabited place; those of unsteady foot, the poorest of men move .

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:5 @ The earth, out of which cometh forth bread, is under its surface turned up as it were with fire.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:6 @ Her stones are the place whence the sapphire cometh; and golden dust is also there;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:7 @ path which no bird of prey knoweth, and which the vulture’s eye hath not surveyed;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:8 @ ravenous beasts have never trodden, over which the lion hath never passed.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:9 @ To the flinty rock he stretcheth forth his hand; he overturneth the mountains from the root.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:10 @ Amid rocks he heweth out canals: and every precious thing doth his eye behold.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:11 @ The various droppings of water he uniteth into streams, and what is hidden he bringeth forth to light.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:12 @ But wisdom––where shall she he found? and where is the place of understanding?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:13 @ Man knoweth not her value: and she is not to be found in the land of the living.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:14 @ The deep saith, Not in me is she: and the sea saith, She is not with me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:15 @ No fine gold can be given in lieu of her, and silver cannot be weighed out as her price.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:16 @ She cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:17 @ She cannot be estimated after gold and glass; and not in exchange for her vessels of refined gold

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:18 @ Coral and crystal will not be thought of; and the value of wisdom is above pearls.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:19 @ She cannot be estimated after the topaz of Ethiopia, nor can she be valued with pure gold.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:20 @ But wisdom––whence cometh she? and where is the place of understanding?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:21 @ Yea, she is hidden from the eyes of all living, and from the fowls of the heavens is she concealed.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:22 @ Perdition and death say, With our ears have we heard a report of her.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:23 @ God understandeth her way, and he knoweth her place;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:24 @ For he looketh to the ends of the earth, under the whole heaven doth he see.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:25 @ When he imparted weight unto the wind; and the waters he established by measure;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:26 @ When he made a law for the rain, and a way for the lightning of thunders;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:27 @ Then did he see her, and make her known; he established her, and also searched her out.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:28:28 @ And he said unto man, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to eschew evil is understanding.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:1 @ And Job continued to take up his parable, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:2 @ Who will give me back months like those which are past, days like those when God guarded me;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:3 @ When his lamp shone over my head, when by his light I could walk in darkness;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:4 @ As I was in the days of my abundance, when the confidence of God was upon my tent:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:5 @ When the Almighty was yet with me, when my servants stood round about me;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:6 @ When I bathed my steps in cream, and the rock poured out near me streamlets of oil!

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:7 @ When I went out to the gate close by the city, when in the open place I established my seat:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:8 @ Young men saw me, and hid themselves; and the aged rose up, and remained standing;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:9 @ Princes stopped in the midst of words, and laid their hand on their mouth:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:10 @ The voice of nobles was arrested, and their tongue cleaved to their palate.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:11 @ For the ear that heard me called me happy; and the eye that saw me bore witness for me;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:12 @ Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, yea, that had none to help him.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:14 @ I took righteousness as my garment, and it clothed me: as a robe and a mitre was justice unto me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:15 @ Eyes was I to the blind; and feet to the lame was I.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:16 @ A father was I to the needy; and the cause of him I knew not I used to investigate.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:17 @ And I broke the cutting–teeth of the wrong–doer, and out of his teeth I cast down his prey.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:19 @ My root will stand open for the water, and the dew will lodge on my boughs.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:20 @ My glory will ever be new with me, and my bow will acquire fresh strength in my hand."

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:21 @ Unto me men listened, and waited, and watched in silence for my counsel

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:22 @ After my words they made no reply, and my speech dropped on them .

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:23 @ And they waited for me as for the rain, and they opened wide their mouth as for the latter rain.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:29:24 @ I smiled on those that had lost their confidence; and the light of my countenance they never cast down.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:2 @ Yea, what possible use can the strength of their hands be unto me, over whom old age hath passed fruitlessly?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:3 @ Who suffer for want and famine in solitude; who flee into the wilderness darkness, ruin, and desolation;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:4 @ Who crop off mallows by the bushes, and have broom–bush roots as their bread;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:5 @ Who are driven forth from among , who are shouted after as though they were thieves,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:6 @ To dwell in the caverns of the valleys, in holes of the earth, and on naked cliffs.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:7 @ Among the bushes they shriek; under briers they are huddled together,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:8 @ The children of the worthless, yea, the children of the nameless, who were outcasts from the land.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:9 @ But now I am become their song, and I am become a byword unto them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:10 @ They loathe me, they keep themselves far from me, and from my face they withhold not their spittle.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:11 @ Because he hath loosened the cord of my bow, and afflicted me, they have also cast off the bridle before me.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:13 @ They destroy my footpath, they help forward my downfall, without any one to aid them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:14 @ As a broad breach they come: amidst a loud noise they rolled themselves along.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:16 @ And now my soul is poured out over me; the days of affliction have seized on me;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:17 @ All night it holloweth out my bones out of my body; and my pursuers take no rest.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:18 @ Through the Almlghty’s power is my garment made unknown: like the opening of my coat hath he enclosed me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:19 @ He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:20 @ I cry aloud unto thee, but thou answerest me not: I stand up, and thou fixest thy regard against me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:21 @ Thou art changed into a cruel master toward me: with the strength of thy hand thou assailest me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:22 @ Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to pass away, and dissolvest in me all wise counsel.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:23 @ For I know that thou wilt bring me back to death, and to the house of assembly for all the living.

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:25 @ Did I not weep for him that was hard pressed by misfortune? was not my soul grieved for the needy?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:26 @ That I hoped for good, but there came evil; and I waited for light, and there came darkness!

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:27 @ My bowels heave, and rest not: the days of affliction have overcome me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:28 @ I walk about mournfully without sunlight: when I rise up, in the assembly, I cry with pain.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:29 @ I am a brother to monsters, and a companion to ostriches.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:30 @ My skin hangeth down black from me, and my bones are burnt from heat.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:30:31 @ And thus is changed to mourning my harp, and my pipe to the sound of weeping.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:1 @ A covenant had I made with my eyes: how then should I fix my look on a virgin?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:2 @ And what then would have been my portion of God from above? and what lot of the Almighty from on high?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:3 @ Is not calamity for the unjust? and misfortune for the wrong–doers?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:4 @ Behold, he truly seeth my ways, and numbereth all my steps;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:5 @ whether I have walked with vain desires, or if my foot hath hastened after deceit.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:6 @ Let him weigh me then in a righteous balance, and let God acknowledge my integrity,

sf_leeser_rev1@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:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:8 @ Then let me sow, and let another eat; and let what I have growing be rooted out.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:9 @ If my heart have been beguiled toward a woman, or if I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:10 @ Then may my wife labor at the mill for another, and may strangers ill–use her;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:11 @ For this would be incest; yea, it would be an iniquity the judges;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:12 @ For it would be a fire that consumeth down to the place of corruption, and would root out all my products.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:13 @ If ever I cast aside the justice due to my man–servant and my maid–servant, when they contended with me:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:14 @ What then could I do when God should rise up? and when he should investigate, what could I answer him?

sf_leeser_rev1@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?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:16 @ If ever I denied the wish of the indigent, or ever allowed the eyes of the widow to fall ;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:17 @ Or if ever I ate my bread by myself alone, and the fatherless did not eat thereof;

sf_leeser_rev1@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;)

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:19 @ If ever I saw any one perishing for want of clothing, or the needy without covering:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:20 @ If his loins have not blessed me, and if he have not been warmed with the fleece of my sheep;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:21 @ If I have swung my hand against the fatherless, because I saw in the gate those that would help me:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:22 @ Then may my shoulder fall from my shoulder–blade, and my arm be broken from the channel–bone;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:23 @ For dreaded by me was the calamitous punishment of God, and against his highness I can accomplish nothing.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:24 @ If I have made gold my confidence, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my trust:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:25 @ If ever I rejoiced because my wealth was abundant, and because my hand had gotten much;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:26 @ If ever I looked at the light when he shone brightly and on the moon walking in splendor:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:27 @ And my heart became misled in secret, and my hand kissed my mouth:

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:29 @ If ever I rejoiced at the downfall of him that hated me, or was elated when evil befell him; ––

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:30 @ But I suffered not my mouth to sin by denouncing with a curse his soul:––

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:31 @ If the men of my tent said not, Oh is there one that is not satisfied of his flesh; ––

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:32 @ In the street a stranger had not to lodge; my doors I held open to the roadside;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:33 @ If I covered up my transgressions like a common man, by hiding in my bosom my iniquity;

sf_leeser_rev1@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; ––

sf_leeser_rev1@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,––

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:36 @ Surely upon my shoulder would I carry it: I would bind it as a crown unto me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:37 @ The number of my steps would I tell him: as a prince would I go near unto him.––

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:38 @ If my land ever cried out because of me, or if its furrows wept together;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:39 @ If I ever consumed its strength without payment, or caused the soul of its owners to grieve:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:31:40 @ Then may instead of wheat, thorns come forth, and instead of barley, cockle. (Here end the words of Job.)

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:1 @ So had these three men abstained from answering Job; because he was righteous in his own eyes.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:3 @ And against his three friends was his wrath kindled; because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:4 @ Now Elihu had held back toward Job words; because the others were older in days than he.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:5 @ But when Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then was his wrath kindled.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:7 @ I had said, Days shall speak, and multitude of years shall make wisdom known.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:8 @ But it is the spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty which giveth them understanding.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:9 @ Not those rich in years must be always wise: neither do the aged constantly understand what is just.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:10 @ Therefore do I say, Hearken to me: I also will show forth what I know myself.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:12 @ And now I understand you fully, and, behold, there is none that convinceth Job, or, that answereth his speeches among you.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:13 @ Say then not, We have found wisdom: God will thrust him down, not man.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:14 @ But he hath not directed any words against me: and with your speeches will I not answer him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:15 @ They are dismayed, they answer no more: words have escaped away from them.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:16 @ And should I wait , because they cannot speak, because they stand stilt and answer no more?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:17 @ I also will surely answer my part, I myself also will show forth what I know;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:18 @ For I am full of words, the spirit in my bosom urgeth me hard.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:19 @ Behold, my bosom is like wine which hath not been opened: like new bottles it is ready to burst.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:20 @ I will speak, that I may breathe freer: I will open my lips and answer.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:21 @ On no account will I show undue favor to any man, and to no son of earth will I give flattering titles.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:32:22 @ For I know not to give flattering titles; my Maker would speedily carry me away.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:1 @ Therefore do thou but hear, O Job, my speeches, and give ear to all my words.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:2 @ Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue speaketh in my mouth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:3 @ Out of my straightforward heart my sayings, and my lips utter knowledge clearly.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:4 @ The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:5 @ If thou canst, answer me, array thyself before me, stand forward.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:6 @ Behold, I am in the same relation as thyself toward God: I myself also am cut out of the clay.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:7 @ Behold, dread of me cannot terrify thee, and my pressure will not be too heavy upon thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:8 @ But thou hast said before my ears, and the sound of the words I still hear,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:9 @ "I am pure without transgression, I am quite clean; and there is no iniquity in me:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:12 @ Behold, In this thou art not just: I will answer thee; for God is far greater than a mortal.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:13 @ Why dost thou contend against him? for with all his words will he not give an answer.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:14 @ For God speaketh once, yea twice: regardeth it not.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:15 @ In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumbers upon the couch:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:16 @ Then doth he lay open the ear of men, and sealeth it with their warning;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:17 @ To remove the son of earth deed and he covereth up pride from man;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:18 @ He withholdeth his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away by the sword.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:19 @ And so is he admonished by pain upon his couch, and all his bones with violent .

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:20 @ So that his inclination abhorreth bread, and his soul, the most agreeable food.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:21 @ His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen, and his bones that were not seen stick out.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:22 @ Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, and his life to those that slay.

sf_leeser_rev1@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:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:24 @ Then is he gracious unto him, and saith, Release him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:25 @ His flesh becometh full again as in youth: he returneth to the days of his boyhood.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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."

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:28 @ Thus he redeemeth his soul from passing into the pit, and his life will look joyously on the light.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:29 @ Lo, all these things doth God two or three times with man;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:33:31 @ Listen well, O Job, hearken unto me: keep silence, and I will truly speak.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:2 @ Hear, O ye wise men, my words; and ye that have knowledge, give ear unto me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:3 @ For the ear proveth words, as the palate tasteth the food.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:4 @ Let us choose for ourselves what is just: let us acknowledge between ourselves what is good.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:5 @ For Job hath said, "I am righteous; and God hath taken away justice from me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:6 @ Should I lie concerning the justice due me? incurable is the arrow I bear in me without any transgression."

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:7 @ What man is there like Job, who drinketh scorning like water,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:8 @ And is on the road to keep company with the wrong–doers, and to walk with men of wickedness?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:9 @ For he hath said, "It profiteth a man nothing when he acteth according to the pleasure of God."

sf_leeser_rev1@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!

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:12 @ Yea, surely God will not condemn unjustly, nor will the Almighty pervert justice.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:13 @ Who hath given him a charge concerning the earth? or who hath intrusted the whole world?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:14 @ If he were to set his heart upon man, he would gather unto himself his spirit and his breath:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:15 @ All flesh would perish together, and the son of earth would return again unto dust.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:16 @ If then thou wishest to understand, hear this: give ear to the sound of my words.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:17 @ Is it possible that he who hateth justice should govern? or wilt thou condemn the righteous mighty One?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:18 @ to say to a king, Thou art worthless? and to princes, Ye are wicked?

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:21 @ For big eyes are upon the ways of man, and all his steps doth he see.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:22 @ There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the evil–doers can hide themselves.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:23 @ For he need not direct a long time upon man, that he should enter into judgment before God.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:24 @ He breaketh down mighty men without searching, and placeth others in their stead.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:25 @ For the reason that he knoweth their deeds: therefore he overturneth them in the night, and they are crushed.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:26 @ Among wicked men doth he strike them, in the place where see them:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:27 @ Because they have departed from following him, and have not considered all his ways.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:28 @ Bringing before them the cry of the indigent, and the cry of the afflicted which he had to hear.

sf_leeser_rev1@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:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:30 @ That no hypocritical man may reign, that such shall not be a mare to the people.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:31 @ For truly it is only fitting to say unto God, "I bear , I will not do any wrong;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:32 @ What I cannot see myself, do thou truly teach me; if I have done what is unjust, I will do so no more."

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:34 @ Men of sense will say unto me, and every wise man who heareth me,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:35 @ That Job hath not spoken with knowledge, and that his words are without intelligence.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:36 @ Oh that Job may therefore be probed continually, in order to give answers against sinful men.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:34:37 @ For he addeth unto his sin transgression: among us he uttereth too many loud words, and multiplieth his speeches against God.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:1 @ Then commenced Elihu, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:2 @ Dost thou deem this to be just, that thou hast said, "My righteousness is more than God’s?"

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:3 @ For thou sayest, "What benefit will it be unto thee? what more profit shall I have, than if I had sinned?"

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:4 @ I will truly reply unto thee with words, and unto thy friends with thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:5 @ Look unto the heavens, and see; and gaze on the skies which are higher than thou.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:6 @ If thou sin, what dost thou effect against him? and if thy transgressions be multiplied, what canst thou do unto him?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:7 @ If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what doth he accept out of thy hand?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:8 @ A man like thyself thy wickedness may reach, and a son of earth thy righteousness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:9 @ By reason of the multitude of oppressions cause men to cry: these complain aloud because of the arm of the mighty.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:10 @ But saith not, Where is God my maker, who bestoweth joyful songs even in the night;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:11 @ Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowls of the heavens?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:12 @ There do they cry, but he answereth not: because of the pride of evil men.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:13 @ Only what is false will God not hear, nor will the Almighty regard it.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:14 @ Although thou sayest, thou canst not see him: yet the decision is before him; and do thou wait for him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:15 @ But now, because his anger hath punished nothing, shall he not greatly take cognizance of the multitude of sins?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:35:16 @ But Job openeth wide his mouth for nought: without knowledge he heapeth up words.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:1 @ Then continued Elihu, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:2 @ Wait for me a little, and I will instruct thee; for still some words on God’s behalf.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:3 @ I will lift up my knowledge for him who is afar, and for my Maker will I obtain righteousness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:4 @ For truly no falsehood is my words: one that is upright in opinions with thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:5 @ Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty in strength of intellect.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:6 @ He permitteth not the wicked to live; but he procureth justice for the afflicted.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:8 @ And if they be bound in fetters, and if they be entangled in the cords of affliction:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:9 @ Then doth he tell them of their work, and of their transgressions, when they had become strong.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:10 @ And he openeth thus their ear to correction, and saith that they should return from wrong–doing.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:11 @ If they hearken and serve , they will spend their days in happiness, and their years in pleasures.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:12 @ But if they hearken not, they will pass away through the sword, and they will perish in want of knowledge.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:13 @ But the hypocrites in heart persevere in wrath; they will not offer entreaty when he bindeth them:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:14 @ Their soul will die in youth, and their life, among the incestuous.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:15 @ He delivereth the afflicted through his affliction, and openeth through oppression his ear.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:17 @ But if thou art full of the judgment of the wicked: judgment and decree will support each other.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:19 @ Will he esteem thy riches? no, not gold ore, nor all the highest forces of strength.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:20 @ Desire then not eagerly the night, when nations pass away in their place.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:21 @ Take heed, turn not thyself to wrong–doing, so that thou wouldst choose this because of affliction.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:22 @ Behold, God is exalted by his power: who is an instructer like him?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:23 @ Who hath given him a charge concerning his way? or who hath ever said, Thou hast acted unjustly?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:24 @ Reflect, that thou shouldst magnify his work, which men have beheld.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:25 @ All men have looked at it ; the mortal gazeth at it from afar.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:26 @ Behold, God is great, and we comprehend him not, the number of his years can truly not be searched out.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:27 @ For he taketh away drops of water, which are purified into rain in his mist:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:28 @ These drop down out of the skies; they distil upon the multitude of men.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:29 @ But can understand the outspreadings of the clouds? the tumult of his tabernacle?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:30 @ Behold, he spreadeth out over it his light, and covereth up the roots of the sea.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:31 @ For by means of them he judgeth nations, he giveth food in superfluity.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:32 @ hands he covereth with light; and he commandeth it to strike the one who striveth against him.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:36:33 @ The noise of his storm telleth of it, yea, the cattle also, of the rising tempest.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:1 @ At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved upward out of its place.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:2 @ Hear, O hear, the rattling of his thunder, and the storm’s roar that goeth out of his mouth.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:3 @ Under the whole heavens he letteth it loose, and his lightning over the ends of the earth.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:5 @ God thundereth with his marvelous voice: he doth great things, which we cannot comprehend.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:7 @ He sealeth it on the hand of every man, that all men whom he hath made may know it.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:8 @ Then retire the beasts into dens, and rest in their lairs.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:9 @ Out of chamber cometh the whirlwind, and out of the north, the cold.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:10 @ From the breathing of God ice is given, and the broad waters become solid.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:11 @ Also with moisture he loadeth the cloud; he scattereth the cloud of his lightning;

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:14 @ Give ear unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider well the wonders of God.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:15 @ Dost thou know how God hath imposed on them, and he hath caused the light of his cloud to shine?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:16 @ Dost thou know aught about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:17 @ who clothest thyself with warm garments, when He giveth the earth rest from the south wind?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:18 @ Hast thou with him spread out the skies, which are strong even as a molten mirror?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:19 @ Let us know what we shall say unto him: we cannot set aught in order because of darkness.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:20 @ Can be related of him, when I speak ? or if a man talk even till he be swallowed up ?

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:22 @ The golden that cometh out of the north: around God is terrible majesty.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:23 @ The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, excellent in power, and in justice, and abounding in righteousness, will not afflict:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:37:24 @ Therefore do men fear him; he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:1 @ Then did the Lord address Job out of the storm–wind, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:2 @ Who is this that casteth darkness counsel by words without knowledge?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:3 @ Do but gird up like a mighty man thy loins: and I will ask thee, and do thou inform me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:4 @ Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? tell it, if thou hast any understanding .

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:5 @ Who fixed her measurements, if thou knowest it? or who stretched the measuring–line over her?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:6 @ Upon what are her foundation–pillars placed at rest? or who laid her corner–stone:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:7 @ When altogether sang the morning stars in gladness, and shouted for joy all the sons of God?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:8 @ And who closed up with doors the sea, when, issuing forth, it came out of the deep bosom of the earth?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:9 @ When I made the clouds its garment, and thick fog its swaddling–cloth,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:10 @ And when I decreed for it my law, and set bars and doors,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:11 @ And said, Thus far mayest thou come, but no farther; and here shall be stayed in the pride of thy waves?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:12 @ Didst thou ever, in all thy days, command the morning; didst thou ever assign the morning–dawn its place:

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:13 @ That it might lay hold of the ends of the earth, so that the wicked might be shaken out therefrom?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:14 @ She is changed as the sealing–clay: and stand as though newly clad.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:15 @ And from the wicked is their light withdrawn, and the high–raised arm is broken.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:16 @ Didst thou ever penetrate as far as the springs of the sea? or wander through the bottom of the deep?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:17 @ Were the gates of death ever laid open unto thee? or canst thou see the doors of the shadow of death?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:18 @ Hast thou a clear understanding of the breadth of the earth? Tell it, if thou knowest it all.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:19 @ Where is the way the light dwelleth? and the darkness––where is its place,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:20 @ That thou mightest take each to its boundary, and that thou mightest mark the pathways to its house?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:21 @ Thou knowest it; because thou wast then born, and the number of thy days is great!

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:22 @ Didst thou ever enter into the treasuries of the snow? or canst thou see the treasuries of the hail,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:23 @ Which I have reserved for the time of distress, for the day of fight and battle?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:24 @ Where is the way the light divideth itself, the east wind is scattered over the earth?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:25 @ Who hath divided off watercourses for the overflowing rain, and a way for the lightning thunders,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:26 @ To bring rain on a land, void of men; on a wilderness wherein no son of earth ;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:27 @ To satisfy waste and desolate lands; and to promote the growth of the tender grass?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:28 @ Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of the dew?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:29 @ Out of whose womb cometh forth the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven––who giveth birth to it?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:33 @ Knowest thou the laws of heaven? or dost thou appoint its rule on the earth?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:34 @ Canst thou lift up to the clouds thy voice, that the abundance of waters may cover thee?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:35 @ Canst thou send out lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here are we?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:36 @ Who hath put wisdom in the dark clouds? or who hath given understanding to the bright meteors?

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:38:37 @ Who ordaineth the skies with wisdom? or who emptieth out the bottles of heaven.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:39:16 @ He hath made her callous against her young, as though they were not hers: her labor is in vain, no dread;

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:40:17 @ He stretcheth out his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his loins are closely wrapped together.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:40:18 @ His bones are like pipes of brass: his frame is like bars of iron.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:42:1 @ Then answered Job unto the Lord, and said,

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:42:2 @ I acknowledge that thou art able to do every thing, and that no deep plan of thine can be restrained.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:42:4 @ Oh do but hear , and I will indeed speak: I will ask of thee, and do thou inform me.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:42:5 @ I had only heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; but now my eye hath seen thee.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:42:6 @ Therefore I reject , and repent; because I am dust and ashes.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:42:8 @ And now take unto yourselves seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up a burnt–offering in your behalf; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him alone will I receive favorably, so as not to deal with you after your folly; because ye have not spoken of me properly, like my servant Job.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:42:13 @ He had also seven sons and three daughters.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@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.

sf_leeser_rev1@Job:42:17 @ Then died Job, being old and full of days.
