'Own' in the Bible

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

“Let darkness and gloom claim it for their own;Let a cloud settle upon it;Let all that blackens the day terrify it (the day that I was born).

“He catches the [so-called] wise in their own shrewdness,And the advice of the devious is quickly thwarted.

“Though I am innocent and in the right, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty;Though I am blameless, He would denounce me as guilty.

You would still plunge me into the pit,And my own clothes would hate me [and refuse to cover my foul body].

“The tents of the destroyers prosper;And those who provoke God are [apparently] secure,Whom God brings into their power.

“He loosens the bond of kingsAnd binds their loins with a loincloth.

“Your own mouth condemns you, and not I;Yes, your own lips testify against you.

“The vigorous stride will be shortened,And his own counsel and the scheme [in which he trusted] will bring his downfall.

“For the wicked is thrown into a net by his own feet (wickedness),And he steps on the webbing [of the lattice-covered pit].

“My breath is repulsive to my wife,And I am loathsome to my own brothers.

Yet he perishes forever like his own refuse;Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

“Let his own eyes see his destruction,And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

“They harvest their fodder in a field [that is not their own],And glean the vineyard of the wicked.

Then He saw wisdom and declared it;He established it and searched it out.

So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes [and could not be persuaded otherwise by them].

Elihu’s anger burned against Job’s three friends because they had found no answer [and were unable to determine Job’s error], and yet they had condemned Job and declared him to be in the wrong [and responsible for his own afflictions].

That He may turn man aside from his conduct,And keep him from pride;

“Men therefore fear Him;He does not regard nor respect any who are wise in heart [in their own understanding and conceit].”

“[If you can do all this, Job, proving your divine power] then I [God] will also praise you and acknowledgeThat your own right hand can save you.
