: Job 1
: 01 . There was a man <0376 >iysh > in the land <0776 >erets > of Uz <5780 <Uwts > , whose name <8034 shem > [ was ] Job <0347 >Iyowb > ; and that man <0376 >iysh > was perfect <8535 tam > and upright <3477 yashar > , and one that feared <3373 yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > , and eschewed <5493 cuwr > evil <7451 ra< > .
: 02 And there were born <3205 yalad > unto him seven <7651 sheba< > sons <1121 ben > and three <7969 shalowsh > daughters <1121 ben > .
: 03 His substance <4735 miqneh > also was seven <7651 sheba< > thousand <0505 >eleph > sheep <6629 tso>n > , and three <7969 shalowsh > thousand <0505 >eleph > camels <1581 gamal > , and five <2568 chamesh > hundred <3967 me>ah > yoke <6776 tsemed > of oxen <1241 baqar > , and five <2568 chamesh > hundred <3967 me>ah > she asses <0860 >athown > , and a very <3966 m@<od > great <7227 rab > household <5657 <abuddah > ; so that this <1931 huw> > man <0376 >iysh > was the greatest <1419 gadowl > of all <3605 kol > the men <1121 ben > of the east <6924 qedem > .
: 04 . And his sons <1121 ben > went <1980 halak > and feasted <4960 mishteh > [ in their ] houses <1004 bayith > , every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his day <3117 yowm > ; and sent <7971 shalach > and called <7121 qara> > for their three <7969 shalowsh > sisters <0269 >achowth > to eat <0398 >akal > and to drink <8354 shathah > with them .
: 05 And it was so , when <3588 kiy > the days <3117 yowm > of [ their ] feasting <4960 mishteh > were gone <5362 naqaph > about <5362 naqaph > , that Job <0347 >Iyowb > sent <7971 shalach > and sanctified <6942 qadash > them , and rose <7925 shakam > up early <7925 shakam > in the morning <1242 boqer > , and offered <5927 <alah > burnt <5930 <olah > offerings [ according ] to the number <4557 micpar > of them all <3605 kol > : for Job <0347 >Iyowb > said <0559 >amar > , It may <0194 >uwlay > be that my sons <1121 ben > have sinned <2398 chata> > , and cursed <1288 barak > God <0430 >elohiym > in their hearts <3824 lebab > . Thus <3602 kakah > did <6213 <asah > Job <0347 >Iyowb > continually .
: 06 . Now there was a day <3117 yowm > when the sons <1121 ben > of God <0430>elohiym > came <0935 bow> > to present <3320 yatsab > themselves before <5921 <al > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and Satan <7854 satan > came <0935 bow> > also <1571 gam > among <8432 tavek > them .
: 07 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan <7854 satan > , Whence <0370 >aiyn > comest <0935 bow> > thou ? Then Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , From going <7751 shuwt > to and fro <7751 shuwt > in the earth <0776 >erets > , and from walking <1980 halak > up and down in it .
: 08 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan <7854 satan > , Hast thou considered my servant <5650 <ebed > Job <0347 >Iyowb > , that [ there is ] none <0369 >ayin > like <3644 k@mow > him in the earth <0776 >erets > , a perfect <8535 tam > and an upright <3477 yashar > man <0376 >iysh > , one that feareth <3373 yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > , and escheweth <5493 cuwr > evil <7451 ra< > ?
: 09 Then Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , Doth Job <0347 >Iyowb > fear <3372 yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > for nought <2600 chinnam > ?
: 10 Hast not thou made an hedge <7753 suwk > about <1157 b@<ad > him , and about <1157 b@<ad > his house <1004 bayith > , and about <1157 b@<ad > all <3605 kol > that he hath on every <5437 cabab > side <5439 cabiyb > ? thou hast blessed <1288 barak > the work <4639 ma<aseh > of his hands <3027 yad > , and his substance <4735 miqneh > is increased <6555 parats > in the land <0776 >erets > .
: 11 But put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > thine hand <3027 yad > now <4994 na> > , and touch <5060 naga< > all <3605 kol > that he hath , and he will curse <1288 barak > thee to thy face <6440 paniym > .
: 12 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan <7854 satan > , Behold <2009 hinneh > , all <3605 kol > that he hath [ is ] in thy power <3027 yad > ; only <3535 kibsah > upon himself put <7971 shalach > not forth <7971 shalach > thine hand <3027 yad > . So Satan <7854 satan > went <3318 yatsa> > forth <3318 yatsa> > from the presence <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 13 . And there was a day <3117 yowm > when his sons <1121 ben > and his daughters <1121 ben > [ were ] eating <0398 >akal > and drinking <8354 shathah > wine <3196 yayin > in their eldest <1060 b@kowr > brother s <0251 >ach > house <1004 bayith > :
: 14 And there came <0935 bow> > a messenger <4397 mal>ak > unto Job <0347 >Iyowb > , and said <0559 >amar > , The oxen <1241 baqar > were plowing <2790 charash > , and the asses <0860 >athown > feeding <7462 ra<ah > beside them :
: 15 And the Sabeans <7614 Sh@ba> > fell <5307 naphal > [ upon them ] , and took <3947 laqach > them away ; yea , they have slain <5221 nakah > the servants <5288 na<ar > with the edge <6310 peh > of the sword <2719 chereb > ; and I only <7535 raq > am escaped <4422 malat > alone <0905 bad > to tell <5046 nagad > thee .
: 16 While he [ was ] yet speaking <1696 dabar > , there came <0935 bow> > also another <2088 zeh > , and said <0559 >amar > , The fire <0784 >esh > of God <0430 >elohiym > is fallen <5307 naphal > from heaven <8064 shamayim > , and hath burned <1197 ba<ar > up the sheep <6629 tso>n > , and the servants <5288 na<ar > , and consumed <0398 >akal > them ; and I only <7535 raq > am escaped <4422 malat > alone <0905 bad > to tell <5046 nagad > thee .
: 17 While he [ was ] yet speaking <1696 dabar > , there came <0935 bow> > also another <2088 zeh > , and said <0559 >amar > , The Chaldeans <3778 Kasdiy > made <7760 suwm > out three <7969 shalowsh > bands <7218 ro>sh > , and fell <6584 pashat > upon the camels <1581 gamal > , and have carried <3947 laqach > them away , yea , and slain <5221 nakah > the servants <5288 na<ar > with the edge <6310 peh > of the sword <2719 chereb > ; and I only <7535 raq > am escaped <4422 malat > alone <0905 bad > to tell <5046 nagad > thee .
: 18 While he [ was ] yet speaking <1696 dabar > , there came <0935 bow> > also another <2088 zeh > , and said <0559 >amar > , Thy sons <1121 ben > and thy daughters <1121 ben > [ were ] eating <0398 >akal > and drinking <8354 shathah > wine <3196 yayin > in their eldest <1060 b@kowr > brother s <0251 >ach > house <1004 bayith > :
: 19 And , behold <2009 hinneh > , there came <0935 bow> > a great <1419 gadowl > wind <7307 ruwach > from the wilderness <4057 midbar > , and smote <5060 naga< > the four <0702 >arba< > corners <6438 pinnah > of the house <1004 bayith > , and it fell <5307 naphal > upon the young <5288 na<ar > men , and they are dead <4191 muwth > ; and I only <7535 raq > am escaped <4422 malat > alone <0905 bad > to tell <5046 nagad > thee .
: 20 . Then Job <0347 >Iyowb > arose <6965 quwm > , and rent <7167 qara< > his mantle <4598 m@<iyl > , and shaved <1494 gazaz > his head <7218 ro>sh > , and fell <5307 naphal > down upon the ground <0776 >erets > , and worshipped <7812 shachah > ,
: 21 And said <0559 >amar > , Naked <6174 <arowm > came <3318 yatsa> > I out of my mother s <0517 >em > womb <0990 beten > , and naked <6174 <arowm > shall I return <7725 shuwb > thither <8033 sham > : the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > gave <5414 nathan > , and the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > hath taken <3947 laqach > away ; blessed <1288 barak > be the name <8034 shem > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 22 In all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > Job <0347 >Iyowb > sinned <2398 chata> > not , nor <3808 lo> > charged <5414 nathan > God <0430 >elohiym > foolishly <8604 tiphlah > .
: Job 2
: 01 . Again there was a day <3117 yowm > when the sons <1121 ben > of God <0430 >elohiym > came <0935 bow> > to present <3320 yatsab > themselves before <5921 <al > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and Satan <7854 satan > came <0935 bow> > also <1571 gam > among <8432 tavek > them to present <3320 yatsab > himself before <6440 paniym > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > .
: 02 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan <7854 satan > , From whence comest <0935 bow> > thou ? And Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , From going <7751 shuwt > to and fro <7751 shuwt > in the earth <0776 >erets > , and from walking <1980 halak > up and down in it .
: 03 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan <7854 satan > , Hast thou considered my servant <5650 <ebed > Job <0347 >Iyowb > , that [ there is ] none <0369 >ayin > like <3644 k@mow > him in the earth <0776 >erets > , a perfect <8535 tam > and an upright <3477 yashar > man <0376 >iysh > , one that feareth <3373 yare> > God <0430 >elohiym > , and escheweth <5493 cuwr > evil <7451 ra< > ? and still <5750 <owd > he holdeth <2388 chazaq > fast his integrity <8538 tummah > , although thou movedst <5496 cuwth > me against him , to destroy <1104 bala< > him without <2600 chinnam > cause <2600 chinnam > .
: 04 And Satan <7854 satan > answered <6030 <anah > the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and said <0559 >amar > , Skin <5785 <owr > for skin <5785 <owr > , yea , all <3605 kol > that a man <0376 >iysh > hath will he give <5414 nathan > for his life <5315 nephesh > .
: 05 But put <7971 shalach > forth <7971 shalach > thine hand <3027 yad > now <4994 na> > , and touch <5060 naga< > his bone <6106 <etsem > and his flesh <1320 basar > , and he will curse <1288 barak > thee to thy face <6440 paniym > .
: 06 And the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > said <0559 >amar > unto Satan <7854 satan > , Behold <2009 hinneh > , he [ is ] in thine hand <3027 yad > ; but save <8104 shamar > his life <5315 nephesh > .
: 07 . So went <3318 yatsa> > Satan <7854 satan > forth <3318 yatsa> > from the presence <6440 paniym > of the LORD <3068 Y@hovah > , and smote <5221 nakah > Job <0347 >Iyowb > with sore <7451 ra< > boils <7822 sh@chiyn > from the sole <3709 kaph > of his foot <7272 regel > unto his crown <6936 qodqod > .
: 08 And he took <3947 laqach > him a potsherd <2789 cheres > to scrape <1623 garad > himself withal ; and he sat <3427 yashab > down among <8432 tavek > the ashes <0665 >epher > .
: 09 Then said <0559 >amar > his wife <0802 >ishshah > unto him , Dost thou still <5750 <owd > retain <2388 chazaq > thine integrity <8538 tummah > ? curse <1288 barak > God <0430 >elohiym > , and die <4191 muwth > .
: 10 But he said <0559 >amar > unto her , Thou speakest <1696 dabar > as one <0259 >echad > of the foolish <5039 n@balah > women speaketh <1696 dabar > . What <1571 gam > ? shall we receive <6901 qabal > good <2896 towb > at the hand <0854 >eth > of God <0430 >elohiym > , and shall we not receive <6901 qabal > evil <7451 ra< > ? In all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > did not Job <0347 >Iyowb > sin <2398 chata> > with his lips <8193 saphah > .
: 11 . Now when Job s <0347 >Iyowb > three <7969 shalowsh > friends <7453 rea< > heard <8085 shama< > of all <3605 kol > this <2063 zo>th > evil <7451 ra< > that was come <0935 bow> > upon him , they came <0935 bow> > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > from his own place <4725 maqowm > ; Eliphaz <0464 >Eliyphaz > the Temanite <8489 Teymaniy > , and Bildad <1085 Bildad > the Shuhite <7747 Shuchiy > , and Zophar <6691 Tsowphar > the Naamathite <5284 Na<amathiy > : for they had made an appointment <3259 ya<ad > together <3162 yachad > to come <0935 bow> > to mourn <5110 nuwd > with him and to comfort <5162 nacham > him .
: 12 And when they lifted <5375 nasa> > up their eyes <5869 <ayin > afar <7350 rachowq > off , and knew <5234 nakar > him not , they lifted <5375 nasa> > up their voice <6963 qowl > , and wept <1058 bakah > ; and they rent <7167 qara< > every <0376 >iysh > one <0376 >iysh > his mantle <4598 m@<iyl > , and sprinkled <2236 zaraq > dust <6083 <aphar > upon their heads <7218 ro>sh > toward heaven <8064 shamayim > .
: 13 So they sat <3427 yashab > down with him upon the ground <0776 >erets > seven <7651 sheba< > days <3117 yowm > and seven <7651 sheba< > nights <3915 layil > , and none <0369 >ayin > spake <1696 dabar > a word <1697 dabar > unto him : for they saw <7200 ra>ah > that [ his ] grief <3511 k@>eb > was very <3966 m@<od > great <1431 gadal > .
: Job 3
: 01 . After <0310 >achar > this <3651 ken > opened <6605 pathach > Job <0347 >Iyowb > his mouth <6310 peh > , and cursed <7043 qalal > his day <3117 yowm > .
: 02 And Job <0347 >Iyowb > spake <6030 <anah > , and said <0559 >amar > ,
: 03 Let the day <3117 yowm > perish <6> wherein I was born <3205 yalad > , and the night <3915 layil > [ in which ] it was said <0559 >amar > , There is a man <1397 geber > child conceived <2030 hareh > .
: 04 Let that day <3117 yowm > be darkness <2822 choshek > ; let not God <0433 >elowahh > regard <1875 darash > it from above <4605 ma<al > , neither <0408 >al > let the light <5105 n@harah > shine <3313 yapha< > upon it .
: 05 Let darkness <2822 choshek > and the shadow <6757 tsalmaveth > of death <6757 tsalmaveth > stain <1350 ga>al > it ; let a cloud <6053 <ananah > dwell <7931 shakan > upon it ; let the blackness <3650 kimriyr > of the day <3117 yowm > terrify <1204 ba<ath > it .
: 06 As [ for ] that night <3915 layil > , let darkness <0652 >ophel > seize <3947 laqach > upon it ; let it not be joined <2302 chadah > unto the days <3117 yowm > of the year <8141 shaneh > , let it not come <0935 bow> > into the number <4557 micpar > of the months <3391 yerach > .
: 07 Lo <2009 hinneh > , let that night <3915 layil > be solitary <1565 galmuwd > , let no <0408 >al > joyful <7445 r@nanah > voice come <0935 bow> > therein .
: 08 Let them curse <5344 naqab > it that curse <0779 >arar > the day <3117yowm > , who are ready <6264 <athiyd > to raise <5782 <uwr > up their mourning <3382 Yered > .
: 09 Let the stars <3556 kowkab > of the twilight <5399 nesheph > thereof be dark <2821 chashak > ; let it look <6960 qavah > for light <0216 >owr > , but [ have ] none <0369 >ayin > ; neither <0408 >al > let it see <7200 ra>ah > the dawning <6079 <aph<aph > of the day <7837 shachar > :
: 10 Because <3588 kiy > it shut <5462 cagar > not up the doors <1817 deleth > of my [ mother s ] womb <0990 beten > , nor hid <5641 cathar > sorrow <3999 mabbuwl > from mine eyes <5869 <ayin > .
: 11 . Why <4100 mah > died <4191 muwth > I not from the womb <7358 rechem > ? [ why ] did I [ not ] give <1478 gava< > up the ghost <1478 gava< > when I came <3318 yatsa> > out of the belly <0990 beten > ?
: 12 Why <4069 madduwa< > did the knees <1290 berek > prevent <6923 qadam > me ? or why <4069 madduwa< > the breasts <7699 shad > that I should suck <3243 yanaq > ?
: 13 For now <6258 <attah > should I have lain <7901 shakab > still and been quiet <8252 shaqat > , I should have slept <3462 yashen > : then <0227 >az > had I been at rest <5117 nuwach > ,
: 14 With kings <4428 melek > and counsellors <3289 ya<ats > of the earth <0776 >erets > , which built <1129 banah > desolate <2723 chorbah > places <2723 chorbah > for themselves ;
: 15 Or <0176 >ow > with princes <8269 sar > that had gold <2091 zahab > , who filled <4390 male> > their houses <1004 bayith > with silver <3701 keceph > :
: 16 Or <0176 >ow > as an hidden <2934 taman > untimely <5309 nephel > birth<5309 nephel > I had not been <1961 hayah > ; as infants <5768 <owlel > [ which ] never <3808 lo> > saw <7200 ra>ah > light <0216 >owr > .
: 17 There <8033 sham > the wicked <7563 rasha< > cease <2308 chadal > [ from ] troubling <7267 rogez > ; and there <8033 sham > the weary <3019 yagiya< > be at rest <5117 nuwach > .
: 18 [ There ] the prisoners <0615 >aciyr > rest <7599 sha>an > together <3162 yachad > ; they hear <8085 shama< > not the voice <6963 qowl > of the oppressor <5065 nagas > .
: 19 The small <6996 qatan > and great <1419 gadowl > are there <8033 sham > ; and the servant <5650 <ebed > [ is ] free <2670 chophshiy > from his master <0113 >adown > .
: 20 . Wherefore <4100 mah > is light <0216 >owr > given <5414 nathan > to him that is in misery <6001 <amel > , and life <2416 chay > unto the bitter <4751 mar > [ in ] soul <5315 nephesh > ;
: 21 Which long <2442 chakah > for death <4194 maveth > , but it [ cometh ] not ; and dig <2658 chaphar > for it more than for hid <4301 matmown > treasures <4301 matmown > ;
: 22 Which rejoice <8055 samach > exceedingly , [ and ] are glad <7797 suws > , when <3588 kiy > they can find <4672 matsa> > the grave <6913 qeber > ?
: 23 [ Why is light given ] to a man <1397 geber > whose <0834 >aher > way <1870 derek > is hid <5641 cathar > , and whom God <0433 >elowahh > hath hedged <5526 cakak > in ?
: 24 For my sighing <0585 >anachah > cometh <0935 bow> > before <6440 paniym > I eat <3899 lechem > , and my roarings <7581 sh@agah > are poured <5413 nathak > out like the waters <4325 mayim > .
: 25 For the thing which I greatly feared <6342 pachad > is come <0857 >athah > upon me , and that which <0834 >aher > I was afraid <3025 yagor > of is come <0935 bow> > unto me .
: 26 I was not in safety <7951 shalah > , neither <3808 lo> > had I rest <8252 shaqat > , neither <3808 lo> > was I quiet <5117 nuwach > ; yet trouble <7267 rogez > came <0935 bow> > .
: Job 4
: 01 . Then Eliphaz <0464 >Eliyphaz > the Temanite <8489 Teymaniy > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,
: 02 [ If ] we assay <5254 nacah > to commune <1697 dabar > with thee , wilt thou be grieved <3811 la>ah > ? but who <4310 miy > can <3201 yakol > withhold <6113 <atsar > himself from speaking <4405 millah > ?
: 03 Behold <2009 hinneh > , thou hast instructed <3256 yacar > many <7227 rab > , and thou hast strengthened <2388 chazaq > the weak <7504 rapheh > hands <3027 yad > .
: 04 Thy words <4405 millah > have upholden <6965 quwm > him that was falling <3782 kashal > , and thou hast strengthened <0553 >amats > the feeble <3766 kara< > knees <1290 berek > .
: 05 But now <6258 <attah > it is come <0935 bow> > upon thee , and thou faintest <3811 la>ah > ; it toucheth <5060 naga< > thee , and thou art troubled <0926 bahal > .
: 06 [ Is ] not [ this ] thy fear <3374 yir>ah > , thy confidence <3690 kiclah > , thy hope <8615 tiqvah > , and the uprightness <8537 tom > of thy ways <1870 derek > ?
: 07 . Remember <2142 zakar > , I pray <4994 na> > thee , who <4310 miy > [ ever ] perished <6> , being innocent <5355 naqiy > ? or where <0375 >eyphoh > were the righteous <6662 tsaddiyq > cut <3582 kachad > off ?
: 08 Even as I have seen <7200 ra>ah > , they that plow <2790 charash > iniquity <0205 >aven > , and sow <2232 zara< > wickedness <5999 <amal > , reap <7114 qatsar > the same .
: 09 By the blast <5397 n@shamah > of God <0433 >elowahh > they perish <6> , and by the breath <7307 ruwach > of his nostrils <0639 >aph > are they consumed <3615 kalah > .
: 10 The roaring <7581 sh@agah > of the lion <0738 >ariy > , and the voice <6963 qowl > of the fierce <7826 shachal > lion <7826 shachal > , and the teeth <8127 shen > of the young <3715 k@phiyr > lions <3715 k@phiyr > , are broken <5421 natha< > .
: 11 The old lion <3918 layish > perisheth <6> for lack <1097 b@liy > of prey <2964 tereph > , and the stout lion s <3833 labiy> > whelps <1121 ben > are scattered <6504 parad > abroad <6504 parad > .
: 12 . Now a thing <1697 dabar > was secretly <1589 ganab > brought <1589 ganab > to me , and mine ear <0241 >ozen > received <3947 laqach > a little <8102 shemets > thereof .
: 13 In thoughts <5587 ca<iph > from the visions <2384 chizzayown > of the night <3915 layil > , when deep <8639 tardemah > sleep <8639 tardemah > falleth <5307 naphal > on <5921 <al > men <0582 >enowsh > ,
: 14 Fear <6343 pachad > came <7122 qara> > upon me , and trembling <7460> , which made all <7230 rob > my bones <6106 <etsem > to shake <6342 pachad > .
: 15 Then a spirit <7307 ruwach > passed <2498 chalaph > before <5921 <al > my face <6440 paniym > ; the hair <8185 sa<arah > of my flesh <1320 basar > stood <5568 camar > up :
: 16 It stood <5975 <amad > still , but I could not discern <5234 nakar > the form <4758 mar>eh > thereof : an image <8544 t@muwnah > [ was ] before <5048 neged > mine eyes <5869 <ayin > , [ there was ] silence <1827 d@mamah > , and I heard <8085 shama< > a voice <6963 qowl > , [ saying ] ,
: 17 Shall mortal <0582 >enowsh > man <0582 >enowsh > be more just <6663 tsadaq > than God <0433 >elowahh > ? shall a man <1396 gabar > be more pure <2891 taher > than his maker <6213 <asah > ?
: 18 Behold <2005 hen > , he put no <3808 lo> > trust <0539 >aman > in his servants <5650 <ebed > ; and his angels <4397 mal>ak > he charged <7760 suwm > with folly <8417 toholah > :
: 19 How <0637 >aph > much <0637 >aph > less [ in ] them that dwell <7931 shakan > in houses <1004 bayith > of clay <2563 chomer > , whose <0834 >aher > foundation <3247 y@cowd > [ is ] in the dust <6083 <aphar > , [ which ] are crushed <1792 daka> > before <6440 paniym > the moth <6211 <ash > ?
: 20 They are destroyed <3807 kathath > from morning <1242 boqer > to evening <6153 <ereb > : they perish <6> for ever <5331 netsach > without any regarding <7760 suwm > [ it ] .
: 21 Doth not their excellency <3499 yether > [ which is ] in them go <5265 naca< > away <5265 naca< > ? they die <4191 muwth > , even without <3808 lo> > wisdom <2451 chokmah > .
: Job 5
: 01 . Call <7121 qara> > now <4994 na> > , if there be any that will answer <6030 <anah > thee ; and to which <4310 miy > of the saints <6918 qadowsh > wilt thou turn <6437 panah > ?
: 02 For wrath <3708 ka<ac > killeth <2026 harag > the foolish <0191 >eviyl > man , and envy <7068 qin>ah > slayeth <4191 muwth > the silly <6601 pathah > one .
: 03 I have seen <7200 ra>ah > the foolish <0191 >eviyl > taking root <8327 sharash > : but suddenly <6597 pith>owm > I cursed <5344 naqab > his habitation <5116 naveh > .
: 04 His children <1121 ben > are far <7350 rachowq > from safety <3468 yesha< > , and they are crushed <1792 daka> > in the gate <8179 sha<ar > , neither <0369 >ayin > [ is there ] any to deliver <5337 natsal > [ them ] .
: 05 Whose <0834 >aher > harvest <7105 qatsiyr > the hungry <7456 ra<eb > eateth <0398 >akal > up , and taketh <3947 laqach > it even out of the thorns <6791 tsen > , and the robber <6782 tsammiym > swalloweth <7602 sha>aph > up their substance <2428 chayil > .
: 06 . Although <3588 kiy > affliction <0205 >aven > cometh <3318 yatsa> > not forth <3318 yatsa> > of the dust <6083 <aphar > , neither <3808 lo> > doth trouble <5999 <amal > spring <6779 tsamach > out of the ground <0127 >adamah > ;
: 07 Yet <3588 kiy > man <0120 >adam > is born <3205 yalad > unto trouble <5999 <amal > , as the sparks <7565 resheph > fly <5774 <uwph > upward <1361 gabahh > .
: 08 I would seek <1875 darash > unto God <0410 >el > , and unto God <0430 >elohiym > would I commit <7760 suwm > my cause <1700 dibrah > :
: 09 Which doeth <6213 <asah > great <1419 gadowl > things and unsearchable ; marvellous <6381 pala> > things without number <4557 micpar > :
: 10 Who giveth <5414 nathan > rain <4306 matar > upon the earth <0776 >erets > , and sendeth <7971 shalach > waters <4325 mayim > upon the fields <2351 chuwts > :
: 11 To set <7760 suwm > up on high <4791 marowm > those that be low <8217 shaphal > ; that those which mourn <6937 qadar > may be exalted <7682 sagab > to safety <3468 yesha< > .
: 12 He disappointeth <6565 parar > the devices <4284 machashabah > of the crafty <6175 <aruwm > , so that their hands <3027 yad > cannot perform [ their ] enterprise <8454 tuwshiyah > .
: 13 He taketh <3920 lakad > the wise <2450 chakam > in their own craftiness <6193 <orem > : and the counsel <6098 <etsah > of the froward <6617 pathal > is carried <4116 mahar > headlong .
: 14 They meet <6298 pagash > with darkness <2822 choshek > in the daytime <3119 yowmam > , and grope <4959 mashash > in the noonday <6672 tsohar > as in the night <3915 layil > .
: 15 But he saveth <3467 yasha< > the poor <34> from the sword <2719 chereb > , from their mouth <6310 peh > , and from the hand <3027 yad > of the mighty <2389 chazaq > .
: 16 So the poor <1800 dal > hath <1961 hayah > hope <8615 tiqvah > , and iniquity <5766 <evel > stoppeth <7092 qaphats > her mouth <6310 peh > .
: 17 . Behold <2009 hinneh > , happy <0835 >esher > [ is ] the man <0582 >enowsh > whom God <0433 >elowahh > correcteth <3198 yakach > : therefore despise <3988 ma>ac > not thou the chastening <4148 muwcar > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday > :
: 18 For he maketh sore <3510 ka>ab > , and bindeth <2280 chabash > up : he woundeth <4272 machats > , and his hands <3027 yad > make whole <7495 rapha> > .
: 19 He shall deliver <5337 natsal > thee in six <8337 shesh > troubles <6869 tsarah > : yea , in seven <7651 sheba< > there shall no <3808 lo> > evil <7451 ra< > touch <5060 naga< > thee .
: 20 In famine <7458 ra<ab > he shall redeem <6299 padah > thee from death <4194 maveth > : and in war <4421 milchamah > from the power <3027 yad > of the sword <2719 chereb > .
: 21 Thou shalt be hid <2244> from the scourge <7752 showt > of the tongue <3956 lashown > : neither <3808 lo> > shalt thou be afraid <3372 yare> > of destruction <7701 shod > when <3588 kiy > it cometh <0935 bow> > .
: 22 At destruction <7701 shod > and famine <3720 kaphan > thou shalt laugh <7832 sachaq > : neither <0408 >al > shalt thou be afraid <3372 yare> > of the beasts <2416 chay > of the earth <0776 >erets > .
: 23 For thou shalt be in league <1285 b@riyth > with the stones <68> of the field <7704 sadeh > : and the beasts <2416 chay > of the field <7704 sadeh > shall be at peace <7999 shalam > with thee .
: 24 And thou shalt know <3045 yada< > that thy tabernacle <0168 >ohel > [ shall be ] in peace <7965 shalowm > ; and thou shalt visit <6485 paqad > thy habitation <5116 naveh > , and shalt not sin <2398 chata> > .
: 25 Thou shalt know <3045 yada< > also that thy seed <2233 zera< > [ shall be ] great <7227 rab > , and thine offspring <6631 tse>etsa> > as the grass <6212 <eseb > of the earth <0776 >erets > .
: 26 Thou shalt come <0935 bow> > to [ thy ] grave <6913 qeber > in a full <3624 kelach > age <3624 kelach > , like as a shock <1430 gadiysh > of corn cometh <5927 <alah > in in his season <6256 <eth > .
: 27 Lo <2009 hinneh > this <2063 zo>th > , we have searched <2713 chaqar > it , so <3651 ken > it [ is ] ; hear <8085 shama< > it , and know <3045 yada< > thou [ it ] for thy good .
: Job 6
: 01 . But Job <0347 >Iyowb > answered <6030 <anah > and said <0559 >amar > ,
: 02 Oh that my grief <3708 ka<ac > were throughly weighed <8254 shaqal > , and my calamity <1942 havvah > laid <5375 nasa> > in the balances <3976 mo>zen > together <3162 yachad > !
: 03 For now <6258 <attah > it would be heavier <3513 kabad > than the sand <2344 chowl > of the sea <3220 yam > : therefore my words <1697 dabar > are swallowed <3886 luwa< > up .
: 04 For the arrows <2671 chets > of the Almighty <7706 Shadday > [ are ] within <5978 <immad > me , the poison <2534 chemah > whereof <0834 >aher > drinketh <8354 shathah > up my spirit <7307 ruwach > : the terrors <1161 bi<uwthiym > of God <0433 >elowahh > do set themselves in array <6186 <arak > against me .
: 05 Doth the wild <6501 pere> > ass <6501 pere> > bray <5101 nahaq > when hehath grass <1877 deshe> > ? or loweth <1600 ga<ah > the ox <7794 showr > over <5921 <al > his fodder <1098 b@liyl > ?
: 06 Can that which is unsavoury <8602 taphel > be eaten <0398 >akal > without <1097 b@liy > salt <4417 melach > ? or is there <8033 sham > [ any ] taste <2940 ta<am > in the white <7388 riyr > of an egg <2495 challamuwth > ?
: 07 The things [ that ] my soul <5315 nephesh > refused <3985 ma>en > to touch <5060 naga< > [ are ] as my sorrowful <1741 d@vay > meat <3899 lechem > .
: 08 . Oh that I might have <0935 bow> > my request <7596 sh@>elah > ; and that God <0433 >elowahh > would grant <5414 nathan > [ me ] the thing that I long <8615 tiqvah > for !
: 09 Even that it would please <2894 tuw> > God <0433 >elowahh > to destroy <1792 daka> > me ; that he would let loose <5425 nathar > his hand <3027 yad > , and cut <1214 batsa< > me off !
: 10 Then should I yet <5750 <owd > have <1961 hayah > comfort <5165 nechamah > ; yea , I would harden <5539 calad > myself in sorrow <2427 chiyl > : let him not spare <2550 chamal > ; for I have not concealed <3582 kachad > the words <0561 >emer > of the Holy <6918 qadowsh > One .
: 11 What <4100 mah > [ is ] my strength <3581 koach > , that I should hope <3176 yachal > ? and what <4100 mah > [ is ] mine end <7093 qets > , that I should prolong <0748 >arak > my life <5315 nephesh > ?
