'God' in the Bible

A man there hath been in the land of Uz -- Job his name -- and that man hath been perfect and upright -- both fearing God, and turning aside from evil.

and it cometh to pass, when they have gone round the days of the banquet, that Job doth send and sanctify them, and hath risen early in the morning, and caused to ascend burnt-offerings -- the number of them all -- for Job said, 'Perhaps my sons have sinned, yet blessed God in their heart.' Thus doth Job all the days.

And the day is, that sons of God come in to station themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary in their midst.

And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Hast thou set thy heart against My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God, and turning aside from evil?'

And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'For nought is Job fearing God?

While this one is speaking another also hath come and saith, 'Fire of God hath fallen from the heavens, and burneth among the flock, and among the young men, and consumeth them, and I am escaped -- only I alone -- to declare it to thee.'

In all this Job hath not sinned, nor given folly to God.

And the day is, that sons of God come in to station themselves by Jehovah, and there doth come also the Adversary in their midst to station himself by Jehovah.

And Jehovah saith unto the Adversary, 'Hast thou set thy heart unto My servant Job because there is none like him in the land, a man perfect and upright, fearing God and turning aside from evil? and still he is keeping hold on his integrity, and thou dost move Me against him to swallow him up for nought!'

And his wife saith to him, 'Still thou art keeping hold on thine integrity: bless God and die.'

And he saith unto her, 'As one of the foolish women speaketh, thou speakest; yea, the good we receive from God, and the evil we do not receive.' In all this Job hath not sinned with his lips.

That day -- let it be darkness, Let not God require it from above, Nor let light shine upon it.

To a man whose way hath been hidden, And whom God doth shut up?

From the breath of God they perish, And from the spirit of His anger consumed.

'Is mortal man than God more righteous? Than his Maker is a man cleaner?

Yet I -- I inquire for God, And for God I give my word,

Lo, the happiness of mortal man, God doth reprove him: And the chastisement of the Mighty despise not,

For arrows of the Mighty are with me, Whose poison is drinking up my spirit. Terrors of God array themselves for me!

O that my request may come, That God may grant my hope!

That God would please -- and bruise me, Loose His hand and cut me off!

Doth God pervert judgment? And doth the Mighty One pervert justice?

If thou dost seek early unto God, And unto the Mighty makest supplication,

So are the paths of all forgetting God, And the hope of the profane doth perish,

Lo, God doth not reject the perfect, Nor taketh hold on the hand of evil doers.

Truly I have known that it is so, And what -- is man righteous with God?

God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have proud helpers.

I say unto God, 'Do not condemn me, Let me know why Thou dost strive with me.

And yet, O that God had spoken! And doth open His lips with thee.

And declare to thee secrets of wisdom, For counsel hath foldings. And know thou that God forgetteth for thee, Some of thine iniquity.

By searching dost thou find out God? Unto perfection find out the Mighty One?

A laughter to his friend I am: 'He calleth to God, and He answereth him,' A laughter is the perfect righteous one.

At peace are the tents of spoilers, And those provoking God have confidence, He into whose hand God hath brought.

Yet I for the Mighty One do speak, And to argue for God I delight.

For God do ye speak perverseness? And for Him do ye speak deceit?

His face do ye accept, if for God ye strive?

Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden.

Yea, thou dost make reverence void, And dost diminish meditation before God.

Of the secret counsel of God dost thou hear? And withdrawest thou unto thee wisdom?

Too few for thee are the comforts of God? And a gentle word is with thee,

For thou turnest against God thy spirit? And hast brought out words from thy mouth:

For he stretched out against God his hand, And against the Mighty he maketh himself mighty.

God shutteth me up unto the perverse, And to the hands of the wicked turneth me over.

My interpreter is my friend, Unto God hath mine eye dropped:

And he reasoneth for a man with God, And a son of man for his friend.

Only these are tabernacles of the perverse, And this the place God hath not known.

Know now, that God turned me upside down, And His net against me hath set round,

Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, For the hand of God hath stricken against me.

Why do you pursue me as God? And with my flesh are not satisfied?

And after my skin hath compassed this body, Then from my flesh I see God:

Wealth he hath swallowed, and doth vomit it. From his belly God driveth it out.

This is the portion of a wicked man from God. And an inheritance appointed him by God.

Their houses are peace without fear, Nor is a rod of God upon them.

And they say to God, 'Turn aside from us, And the knowledge of Thy ways We have not desired.

God layeth up for his sons his sorrow, He giveth recompense unto him -- and he knoweth.

To God doth one teach knowledge, And He the high doth judge?

To God is a man profitable, Because a wise man to himself is profitable?

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

And thou hast said, 'What -- hath God known? Through thickness doth He judge?

Those saying to God, 'Turn aside from us,' And what doth the Mighty One to them?

For then on the Mighty thou delightest thyself, And dost lift up unto God thy face,

And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me.

Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise.

And what? is man righteous with God? And what? is he pure -- born of a woman?

God liveth! He turned aside my judgment, And the Mighty -- He made my soul bitter.

For all the while my breath is in me, And the spirit of God in my nostrils.

For what is the hope of the profane, When He doth cut off? When God doth cast off his soul?

His cry doth God hear, When distress cometh on him?

On the Mighty doth he delight himself? Call God at all times?

I shew you by the hand of God, That which is with the Mighty I hide not.

This is the portion of wicked man with God, And the inheritance of terrible ones From the Mighty they receive.

God hath understood its way, And He hath known its place.

As I have been in days of my maturity, And the counsel of God upon my tent.

And what is the portion of God from above? And the inheritance of the Mighty from the heights?

He doth weigh me in righteous balances, And God doth know my integrity.

Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him?

For a dread unto me is calamity from God, And because of His excellency I am not able.

It also is a judicial iniquity, For I had lied to God above.

and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;

Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.

The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.

Lo, I am, according to thy word, for God, From the clay I -- I also, have been formed.

Lo, in this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.

For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.)

He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness.

Lo, all these doth God work, Twice -- thrice with man,

For Job hath said, 'I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,

For he hath said, 'It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'

Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And from the Mighty to do perverseness:

Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.

For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,

For unto God hath any said: 'I have taken away, I do not corruptly,

For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God.

And none said, 'Where is God my maker? Giving songs in the night,

Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.

Honour me a little, and I shew thee, That yet for God are words.

Lo, God is mighty, and despiseth not, Mighty in power and heart.

Lo, God doth sit on high by His power, Who is like Him -- a teacher?

Lo, God is high, And we know not the number of His years, Yea, there is no searching.

God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.

From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
