And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,

Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder?

What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

Should thy lies make men hold their peace? and when thou mockest, shall no man make thee ashamed?

When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.

For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;

When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;

As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;

When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!

When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.

Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
