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

And Jehovah said to Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in thy hand; only upon himself put not forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of Jehovah.

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

But he said to her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. We have also received good from God, and should we not receive evil? In all this Job did not sin with his lips.

If a word were essayed to thee, wouldest thou be grieved? But who can refrain from speaking?

But now it is come upon thee, and thou grievest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

I myself saw the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

But as for me I will seek unto God, and unto God commit my cause;

How forcible are right words! but what doth your upbraiding reprove?

Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and dig a pit for your friend.

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

For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, for our days upon earth are a shadow.

He shall lean upon his house, and it shall not stand; he shall lay hold on it, but it shall not endure.

Of a truth I know it is so; but how can man be just with God?

Then I will speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

But oh that +God would speak, and open his lips against thee;

If thou put far away the iniquity which is in thy hand, and let not wrong dwell in thy tents;

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and all refuge shall vanish from them, and their hope shall be the breathing out of life.

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowl of the heavens, and they shall tell thee;

But I will speak to the Almighty, and will find pleasure in reasoning with God;

Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?

Behold, if he slay me, yet would I trust in him; but I will defend mine own ways before him.

Yet through the scent of water it will bud, and put forth boughs like a young plant.

But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?

But his flesh hath pain for himself alone, and his soul mourneth for himself.

But I would encourage you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips should assuage your pain.

But now he hath made me weary; ... thou hast made desolate all my family;

I was at rest, but he hath shattered me; he hath taken me by the neck and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.

But the righteous shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall increase in strength.

But as for you all, pray come on again; and I shall not find one wise man among you.

If I wait, Sheol is my house; I spread my bed in the darkness:

Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the flame of his fire shall not shine.

The light shall become dark in his tent, and his lamp over him shall be put out.

Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.

He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are quite estranged from me.

The exultation of the wicked is short, and the joy of the ungodly man but for a moment?

His bones were full of his youthful strength; but it shall lie down with him in the dust.

Though he spare it, and forsake it not, but keep it within his mouth,

He hath swallowed down riches, but he shall vomit them up again: God shall cast them out of his belly.

How often is the lamp of the wicked put out, and cometh their calamity upon them? Doth he distribute sorrows to them in his anger?

But the powerful man, he had the land; and the man of high rank dwelt in it.

Yet he filled their houses with good. But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

And put the precious ore with the dust, and the gold of Ophir among the stones of the torrents,

Would he plead against me with his great power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.

Lo, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I do not perceive him;

On the left hand, where he doth work, but I behold him not; he hideth himself on the right hand, and I see him not.

But he knoweth the way that I take; he trieth me, I shall come forth as gold.

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do.

God setteth him in safety, and he resteth thereon; but his eyes are upon their ways.

Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?

He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on; and the innocent shall divide the silver.

He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

But wisdom, where shall it be found? and where is the place of understanding?

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; my justice was as a mantle and a turban.

But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

For I expected good, and there came evil; and I waited for light, but there came darkness.

I go about blackened, but not by the sun; I stand up, I cry in the congregation.

But Elihu had waited till Job had finished speaking, because they were older than he.

But there is a spirit which is in man; and the breath of the Almighty giveth them understanding.

And I waited, for they spoke 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;

He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away by the sword.

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and with constant strife in his bones;

And his soul draweth near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.

Then he will be gracious unto him, and say, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.

He hath delivered my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall see the light.

To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,

But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, doth not Job know his great arrogancy?

Lo, God is mighty, but despiseth not any; mighty in strength of understanding:

He saveth not the wicked alive; but he doeth justice to the afflicted.

He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous, but with kings on the throne doth he even set them for ever; and they are exalted.

But if they hearken not, they shall pass away by the sword, and expire without knowledge.

But the godless in heart heap up anger; they cry not when he bindeth them:

But he delivereth the afflicted in his affliction, and openeth their ear in their oppression.

But thou art full of the judgments of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.

But can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the crashing of his pavilion?

And now men see not the light as it gleameth, it is hidden in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.

Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the mind?

Wilt thou put confidence in him, because his strength is great? and wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

The wing of the ostrich beats joyously But is it the stork's pinion and plumage?

Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; yea twice, but I will proceed no further.

Wilt thou put a rush-rope into his nose, and pierce his jaw with a spike?

Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a boiling pot and cauldron.

He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment;

I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee:
