But put forth thy hand now and touch all that he hath, and see if he will not curse thee to thy face!

And the Lord said to the Satan, See, I give all he has into your hands, only do not put a finger on the man himself. And the Satan went out from before the Lord.

but put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and see if he will not curse thee to thy face!

And the Lord said to the Satan, See, he is in your hands, only do not take his life.

And lifting up their eyes when they were still far off, it did not seem that the man they saw was Job because of the change in him. And they gave way to bitter weeping, with signs of grief, and put dust on their heads.

And they sit with him on the earth seven days and seven nights, and there is none speaking unto him a word when they have seen that the pain hath been very great.

Let that day be darkness; Let not God from above seek for it, Neither let the light shine upon it.

Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants that have not seen the light.

Who are waiting for death, and it is not, And they seek it above hid treasures.

Have you ever seen destruction come to an upright man? or when were the god-fearing ever cut off?

Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

Something was present before me, but I was not able to see it clearly; there was a form before my eyes: a quiet voice came to my ears, saying:

Truly, he puts no faith in his servants, and he sees error in his angels;

I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:

See how happy the man is God corrects;
so do not reject the discipline of the Almighty.

And you will be certain that your tent is at peace, and after looking over your property you will see that nothing is gone.

Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.

“Oh, that my grief could actually be weighed
And placed in the balances together with my tragedy [to see if my grief is the grief of a coward]!

For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.

Give me teaching and I will be quiet; and make me see my error.

My words may seem wrong to you, but the words of him who has no hope are for the wind.

“Now please look at me,
And see if I lie to your face.

O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see good.

The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine eyes are upon me, and I am not.

I can see no remedy. I shall live no more. O spare me then, for my days are but vain.

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;

Your beginning will seem so small, since your future will flourish.

For ask now to the first generation, and prepare to seek their fathers:

“His [godless] roots are wrapped around a pile of rocks,
And he gazes at a house of stones.

If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.

“Behold, this is the joy of His way;
And from out of the dust others will spring up and grow [to take his place].

Your haters will be clothed with shame, and the tent of the sinner will not be seen again.

Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God?

If one were to seek to argue with him, he won't be able to answer him even once in a thousand times.

Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

Whom, though I were righteous, yet I would not answer; I seek mercy for my judgment.

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

Then you will have me pushed into the dust, so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing.

‘Does it indeed seem right to You to oppress,
To despise and reject the work of Your hands,
And to look with favor on the schemes of the wicked?

‘Do You have eyes of flesh?
Do You see as a man sees?

that you seek out my iniquity, and you search for my sin

Though you see that I am not an evil-doer; and there is no one who is able to take a man out of your hands?

If I be wicked, woe unto me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou mine affliction;

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? Oh that I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me!

Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?

“For He recognizes and knows false and worthless men,
And He sees wickedness, will He not consider it?

You'll be secure, because there is hope; you'll see that you're at rest and safe.

Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour.

Who does not see by all these that the hand of the Lord has done this?

Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.

“But I wish to speak to the Almighty,
And I desire to argue with God.

See now, I have set my cause in order. I know that I am righteous.

He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.

If his sons are honored, he does not know it; if they are brought low, he does not see it.

I will shew thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;

But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.

They turned night into day
and made light seem near in the face of darkness.

And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

Why do we seem as beasts in your eyes, and as completely without knowledge?

In his tent will be seen that which is not his, burning stone is dropped on his house.

Let him have neither scion nor seed among his people, neither any survivor in his place of sojourn:

He has taken my brothers far away from me; they have seen my fate and have become strange to me.

I am strange to my women-servants, and seem to them as one from another country.

And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.

Yet he shall perish for ever like his own dung: they which have seen him shall say, Where is he?

He is gone like a dream, and is not seen again; he goes in flight like a vision of the night.

The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

His children shall seek to please the poor, and his hands shall restore their goods.

He shall not see the rivers, the floods, the brooks of honey and butter.

Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

Their ox is ready at all times to give seed; their cow gives birth, without dropping her young.

His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

See, I am conscious of your thoughts, and of your violent purposes against me;

The runoff from the streams will seem sweet to him; everyone will follow after him; countless crows march ahead of him.

Why then do you give me comfort with words in which there is no profit, when you see that there is nothing in your answers but deceit?

Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

Is not God high in heaven? And see the summit of the stars, That they are high.

Thick clouds are a secret place to Him, And He doth not see;' And the circle of the heavens He walketh habitually,

The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

see that their increase shall be hewn down, and their posterity consumed with fire.

If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!

I would see what his answers would be, and have knowledge of what he would say to me.

"When I go forward, {he is not there}, or backward, I cannot see him.

On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?

"Look! Like wild donkeys in the wilderness, they work diligently as they seek wild game in the desert, food for them and their young ones.

whereas they, notwithstanding, are rebellious and disobedient enemies: which seek not his light and way, nor turn again in to his path.

The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion will be cursed in the earth: he will not see the way of the vineyards.

See, even the moon is not bright, and the stars are not clean in his eyes:

He holdeth back his stool, that it can not be seen, and spreadeth his clouds before it.

See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.

Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus altogether vain?

He goes to rest full of wealth, but does so for the last time: on opening his eyes, he sees it there no longer.

The darkness shall once come to an end: he can seek out the ground of all things; the stones, the dark, and the shadow of death.
