And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

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.

And there was a day when the sons of the gods came together before the Lord, and the Satan came with them.

And the Satan went out from before the Lord, and sent on Job an evil disease covering his skin from his feet to the top of his head.

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:

May a man be upright before God? or a man be clean before his Maker?

Now his children have no safe place, and they are crushed before the judges, for no one takes up their cause.

But as for me, I would make my prayer to God, and I would put my cause before him:

How long will it be before your eyes are turned away from me, so that I may have a minute's breathing-space?

If you will make search for God with care, and put your request before the Ruler of all;

When it is still green, without being cut down, it becomes dry and dead before any other plant.

He is full of strength before the sun, and his branches go out over his garden.

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

See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.

For he is not a man as I am, that I might give him an answer, that we might come together before a judge.

Before I go to the place from which I will not come back, to the land where all is dark and black,

Will not his glory put you in fear, so that your hearts will be overcome before him?

Truly, he will put an end to me; I have no hope; but I will not give way in argument before him;

And that will be my salvation, for an evil-doer would not come before him,

Only two things do not do to me, then I will come before your face:

Will you be hard on a leaf in flight before the wind? will you make a dry stem go more quickly on its way?

Truly, you make the fear of God without effect, so that the time of quiet worship before God is made less by your outcry.

Were you the first man to come into the world? or did you come into being before the hills?

His branch is cut off before its time, and his leaf is no longer green.

How long will it be before you have done talking? Get wisdom, and then we will say what is in our minds.

Their children are ever with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

How frequently are they as dry stems before the wind, or as grass taken away by the storm-wind?

The earth of the valley covering his bones is sweet to him, and all men come after him, as there were unnumbered before him.

Who were violently taken away before their time, who were overcome by the rush of waters:

If you come back to the Ruler of all, making yourself low before him; if you put evil far away from your tents;

I would put my cause in order before him, and my mouth would be full of arguments

There an upright man might put his cause before him; and I would be free for ever from my judge.

For this cause I am in fear before him, my thoughts of him overcome me.

For God has made my heart feeble, and my mind is troubled before the Ruler of all.

He who is purposing death gets up before day, so that he may put to death the poor and those in need.

How then is it possible for man to be upright before God? or how may he be clean who is a son of woman?

The underworld is uncovered before him, and Destruction has no veil.

Let it be far from me! I will certainly not say that you are right! I will come to death before I give up my righteousness.

God sends his arrows against him without mercy; he goes in flight before his hand.

For he has made loose the cord of my bow, and put me to shame; he has sent down my flag to the earth before me.

I would make clear the number of my steps, I would put it before him like a prince! The words of Job are ended.

And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, made answer and said, I am young, and you are very old, so I was in fear, and kept myself from putting my knowledge before you.

For he does not give man a fixed time to come before him to be judged.

The evil-doers are broken by his wrath, he puts his hand on them with force before the eyes of all onlookers.

For in addition to his sin, he is uncontrolled in heart; before our eyes he makes sport of God, increasing his words against him.

Does it seem to you to be right, and righteousness before God, to say,

How much less when you say that you do not see him; that the cause is before him, and you are waiting for him.

Make clear to me what we are to say to him; we are unable to put our cause before him, because of the dark.

He is so cruel that no one is ready to go against him. Who then is able to keep his place before me?

Strength is in his neck, and fear goes dancing before him.

And the Lord made up to Job for all his losses, after he had made prayer for his friends: and all Job had before was increased by the Lord twice as much.
