JOB CHAPTER 8
- Job 8:1 And Bildad the Shuhite answereth and saith: --
- 8:2 Till when dost thou speak these things? And a strong wind -- sayings of thy mouth?
- 8:3 Doth God pervert judgment? And doth the Mighty One pervert justice?
- 8:4 If thy sons have sinned before Him, And He doth send them away, By the hand of their transgression,
- 8:5 If thou dost seek early unto God, And unto the Mighty makest supplication,
- 8:6 If pure and upright thou [art], Surely now He waketh for thee, And hath completed The habitation of thy righteousness.
- 8:7 And thy beginning hath been small, And thy latter end is very great.
- 8:8 For, ask I pray thee of a former generation, And prepare to a search of their fathers,
- 8:9 (For of yesterday we [are], and we know not, For a shadow [are] our days on earth.)
- Job 8:10 Do they not shew thee -- speak to thee, And from their heart bring forth words?
- 8:11 'Doth a rush wise without mire? A reed increase without water?
- 8:12 While it [is] in its budding -- uncropt, Even before any herb it withereth.
- 8:13 So [are] the paths of all forgetting God, And the hope of the profane doth perish,
- 8:14 Whose confidence is loathsome, And the house of a spider his trust.
- 8:15 He leaneth on his house -- and it standeth not: He taketh hold on it -- and it abideth not.
- 8:16 Green he [is] before the sun, And over his garden his branch goeth out.
- 8:17 By a heap his roots are wrapped, A house of stones he looketh for.
- 8:18 If [one] doth destroy him from his place, Then it hath feigned concerning him, I have not seen thee!
- 8:19 Lo, this [is] the joy of his way, And from the dust others spring up.'
- Job 8:20 Lo, God doth not reject the perfect, Nor taketh hold on the hand of evil doers.
- 8:21 While he filleth with laughter thy mouth, And thy lips with shouting,
- 8:22 Those hating thee do put on shame, And the tent of the wicked is not!

JOB CHAPTER 9
- Job 9:1 And Job answereth and saith: --
- 9:2 Truly I have known that [it is] so, And what -- is man righteous with God?
- 9:3 If he delight to strive with Him -- He doth not answer him one of a thousand.
- 9:4 Wise in heart and strong in power -- Who hath hardened toward Him and is at peace?
- 9:5 Who is removing mountains, And they have not known, Who hath overturned them in His anger.
- 9:6 Who is shaking earth from its place, And its pillars move themselves.
- 9:7 Who is speaking to the sun, and it riseth not, And the stars He sealeth up.
- 9:8 Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the heights of the sea,
- 9:9 Making Osh, Kesil, and Kimah, And the inner chambers of the south.
- Job 9:10 Doing great things till there is no searching, And wonderful, till there is no numbering.
- 9:11 Lo, He goeth over by me, and I see not, And He passeth on, and I attend not to it.
- 9:12 Lo, He snatches away, who bringeth it back? Who saith unto Him, 'What dost Thou?'
- 9:13 God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have proud helpers.
- 9:14 How much less do I -- I answer Him? Choose out my words with Him?
- 9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, I answer not, For my judgment I make supplication.
- 9:16 Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe that He giveth ear [to] my voice.
- 9:17 Because with a tempest He bruiseth me, And hath multiplied my wounds for nought.
- 9:18 He permitteth me not to refresh my spirit, But filleth me with bitter things.
- 9:19 If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment -- who doth convene me?
- Job 9:20 If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked, Perfect I am! -- it declareth me perverse.
- 9:21 Perfect I am! -- I know not my soul, I despise my life.
- 9:22 It is the same thing, therefore I said, 'The perfect and the wicked He is consuming.'
- 9:23 If a scourge doth put to death suddenly, At the trial of the innocent He laugheth.
- 9:24 Earth hath been given Into the hand of the wicked one. The face of its judges he covereth, If not -- where, who [is] he?
- 9:25 My days have been swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have not seen good,
- 9:26 They have passed on with ships of reed, As an eagle darteth on food.
- 9:27 Though I say, 'I forget my talking, I forsake my corner, and I brighten up!'
- 9:28 I have been afraid of all my griefs, I have known that Thou dost not acquit me.
- 9:29 I -- I am become wicked; why [is] this? [In] vain I labour.
- Job 9:30 If I have washed myself with snow-water, And purified with soap my hands,
- 9:31 Then in corruption Thou dost dip me, And my garments have abominated me.
- 9:32 But if a man like myself -- I answer him, We come together into judgment.
- 9:33 If there were between us an umpire, He doth place his hand on us both.
- 9:34 He doth turn aside from off me his rod, And His terror doth not make me afraid,
- 9:35 I speak, and do not fear Him, But I am not right with myself.

JOB CHAPTER 10
- Job 10:1 My soul hath been weary of my life, I leave off my talking to myself, I speak in the bitterness of my soul.
- 10:2 I say unto God, 'Do not condemn me, Let me know why Thou dost strive [with] me.
- 10:3 Is it good for Thee that Thou dost oppress? That Thou despisest the labour of Thy hands, And on the counsel of the wicked hast shone?
- 10:4 Eyes of flesh hast Thou? As man seeth -- seest Thou?
- 10:5 As the days of man [are] Thy days? Thy years as the days of a man?
- 10:6 That Thou inquirest for mine iniquity, And for my sin seekest?
- 10:7 For Thou knowest that I am not wicked, And there is no deliverer from Thy hand.
- 10:8 Thy hands have taken pains about me, And they make me together round about, And Thou swallowest me up!
- 10:9 Remember, I pray Thee, That as clay Thou hast made me, And unto dust Thou dost bring me back.
- Job 10:10 Dost Thou not as milk pour me out? And as cheese curdle me?
- 10:11 Skin and flesh Thou dost put on me, And with bones and sinews dost fence me.
- 10:12 Life and kindness Thou hast done with me. And Thy inspection hath preserved my spirit.
- 10:13 And these Thou hast laid up in Thy heart, I have known that this [is] with Thee.
- 10:14 If I sinned, then Thou hast observed me, And from mine iniquity dost not acquit me,
- 10:15 If I have done wickedly -- wo to me, And righteously -- I lift not up my head, Full of shame -- then see my affliction,
- 10:16 And it riseth -- as a lion Thou huntest me. And Thou turnest back -- Thou shewest Thyself wonderful in me.
- 10:17 Thou renewest Thy witnesses against me, And dost multiply Thine anger with me, Changes and warfare [are] with me.
- 10:18 And why from the womb Hast Thou brought me forth? I expire, and the eye doth not see me.
- 10:19 As I had not been, I am, From the belly to the grave I am brought,
- Job 10:20 Are not my days few? Cease then, and put from me, And I brighten up a little,
- 10:21 Before I go, and return not, Unto a land of darkness and death-shade,
- 10:22 A land of obscurity as thick darkness, Death-shade -- and no order, And the shining [is] as thick darkness.'
|| 10 || Young's Literal OT Index || 12 ||
JOB CHAPTER 11
- Job 11:1 And Zophar the Naamathite answereth and saith: --
- 11:2 Is a multitude of words not answered? And is a man of lips justified?
- 11:3 Thy devices make men keep silent, Thou scornest, and none is causing blushing!
- 11:4 And thou sayest, 'Pure [is] my discourse, And clean I have been in Thine eyes.'
- 11:5 And yet, O that God had spoken! And doth open His lips with thee.
- 11:6 And declare to thee secrets of wisdom, For counsel hath foldings. And know thou that God forgetteth for thee, [Some] of thine iniquity.
- 11:7 By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?
- 11:8 Heights of the heavens! -- what dost thou? Deeper than Sheol! -- what knowest thou?
- 11:9 Longer than earth [is] its measure, And broader than the sea.
- Job 11:10 If He pass on, and shut up, and assemble, Who then dost reverse it?
- 11:11 For he hath known men of vanity, And He seeth iniquity, And one doth not consider [it]!
- 11:12 And empty man is bold, And the colt of a wild ass man is born.
- 11:13 If thou -- thou hast prepared thy heart, And hast spread out unto Him thy hands,
- 11:14 If iniquity [is] in thy hand, put it far off, And let not perverseness dwell in thy tents.
- 11:15 For then thou liftest up thy face from blemish, And thou hast been firm, and fearest not.
- 11:16 For thou dost forget misery, As waters passed away thou rememberest.
- 11:17 And above the noon doth age rise, Thou fliest -- as the morning thou art.
- 11:18 And thou hast trusted because their is hope, And searched -- in confidence thou liest down,
- 11:19 And thou hast rested, And none is causing trembling, And many have entreated thy face;
- Job 11:20 And the eyes of the wicked are consumed, And refuge hath perished from them, And their hope [is] a breathing out of soul!

- 12:3 I also have a heart like you, I am not fallen more than you, And with whom is there not like these?
- 12:4 A laughter to his friend I am: 'He calleth to God, and He answereth him,' A laughter [is] the perfect righteous one.

- 13:4 And yet, ye [are] forgers of falsehood, Physicians of nought -- all of you,
- 13:5 O that ye would keep perfectly silent, And it would be to you for wisdom.
- 13:6 Hear, I pray you, my argument, And to the pleadings of my lips attend,
- 13:7 For God do ye speak perverseness? And for Him do ye speak deceit?
- 13:8 His face do ye accept, if for God ye strive?
- 13:9 Is [it] good that He doth search you, If, as one mocketh at a man, ye mock at Him?
- Job 13:10 He doth surely reprove you, if in secret ye accept faces.
- 13:11 Doth not His excellency terrify you? And His dread fall upon you?

- 13:13 Keep silent from me, and I speak, And pass over me doth what?
- 13:14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put in my hand?
- 13:15 Lo, He doth slay me -- I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue.
- 13:16 Also -- He [is] to me for salvation, For the profane cometh not before Him.
- 13:17 Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your ears.

- 13:28 And he, as a rotten thing, weareth away, As a garment hath a moth consumed him.

JOB CHAPTER 14
- Job 14:1 Man, born of woman! Of few days, and full of trouble!

- 14:3 Also -- on this Thou hast opened Thine eyes, And dost bring me into judgment with Thee.
- 14:4 Who giveth a clean thing out of an unclean? not one.
- 14:5 If determined are his days, The number of his months [are] with Thee, His limit Thou hast made, And he passeth not over;
- 14:6 Look away from off him that he may cease, Till he enjoy as an hireling his day.
- 14:7 For there is of a tree hope, if it be cut down, That again it doth change, That its tender branch doth not cease.
- 14:8 If its root becometh old in the earth, And its stem doth die in the dust,
- 14:9 From the fragrance of water it doth flourish, And hath made a crop as a plant.
- Job 14:10 And a man dieth, and becometh weak, And man expireth, and where [is] he?
- 14:11 Waters have gone away from a sea, And a river becometh waste and dry.

- 14:14 If a man dieth -- doth he revive? All days of my warfare I wait, till my change come.
- 14:15 Thou dost call, and I -- I answer Thee; To the work of Thy hands Thou hast desire.
- 14:16 But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.
- 14:17 Sealed up in a bag [is] my transgression, And Thou sewest up mine iniquity.
- 14:18 And yet, a falling mountain wasteth away, And a rock is removed from its place.
- 14:19 Stones have waters worn away, Their outpourings wash away the dust of earth, And the hope of man Thou hast destroyed.
- Job 14:20 Thou prevailest [over] him for ever, and he goeth, He is changing his countenance, And Thou sendest him away.
- 14:21 Honoured are his sons, and he knoweth not; And they are little, and he attendeth not to them.
