And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

And the Lord said to the Satan, Where do you come from? And the Satan said in answer, From wandering this way and that on the earth, and walking about on it.

And he said to her, You are talking like one of the foolish women. If we take the good God sends us, are we not to take the evil when it comes? In all this Job kept his lips from sin.

And Job's three friends had word of all this evil which had come on him. And they came every one from his place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. So they came together to a meeting-place, in order that they might go and make clear to Job their grief for him, and give him comfort.

Let destruction take the day of my birth, and the night on which it was said, A man child has come into the world.

That night--let the thick dark take it; let it not have joy among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.

Or as a child dead at birth I might never have come into existence; like young children who have not seen the light.

There the passions of the evil are over, and those whose strength has come to an end have rest.

There the prisoners are at peace together; the voice of the overseer comes not again to their ears.

To those whose desire is for death, but it comes not; who are searching for it more than for secret wealth;

Who are glad with great joy, and full of delight when they come to their last resting-place;

In place of my food I have grief, and cries of sorrow come from me like water.

For I have a fear and it comes on me, and my heart is greatly troubled.

I have no peace, no quiet, and no rest; nothing but pain comes on me.

But now it has come on you and it is a weariness to you; you are touched by it and your mind is troubled.

Have you ever seen destruction come to an upright man? or when were the god-fearing ever cut off?

The old lion comes to his end for need of food, and the young of the she-lion go wandering in all directions.

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

Between morning and evening they are completely broken; they come to an end for ever, and no one takes note.

If their tent-cord is pulled up, do they not come to an end, and without wisdom?

For wrath is the cause of death to the foolish, and he who has no wisdom comes to his end through passion.

For evil does not come out of the dust, or trouble out of the earth;

He will keep you safe from six troubles, and in seven no evil will come near you.

He will keep you safe from the evil tongue; and you will have no fear of wasting when it comes.

You will come to your last resting-place in full strength, as the grain is taken up to the crushing-floor in its time.

See, we have made search with care, and it is so; it has come to our ears; see that you take note of it for yourself.

My friends have been false like a stream, like streams in the valleys which come to an end:

Under the burning sun they are cut off, and come to nothing because of the heat.

The camel-trains go out of their way; they go up into the waste and come to destruction.

My days go quicker than the cloth-worker's thread, and come to an end without hope.

A cloud comes to an end and is gone; so he who goes down into the underworld comes not up again.

He will not come back to his house, and his place will have no more knowledge of him.

So I will not keep my mouth shut; I will let the words come from it in the pain of my spirit, my soul will make a bitter outcry.

Will the river-plant come up in its pride without wet earth? will the grass get tall without water?

So is the end of all who do not keep God in mind; and the hope of the evil-doer comes to nothing:

He is looking to his family for support, but it is not there; he puts his hope in it, but it comes to nothing.

Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.

The time will come when your mouth will be full of laughing, and cries of joy will come from your lips.

If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice.

If death comes suddenly through disease, he makes sport of the fate of those who have done no wrong.

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

That, if I was an evil-doer, the curse would come on me; and if I was upright, my head would not be lifted up, being full of shame and overcome with trouble.

Why then did you make me come out of my mother's body? It would have been better for me to have taken my last breath, and for no eye to have seen me,

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

No doubt you have knowledge, and wisdom will come to an end with you.

Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it.

Keep quiet, and let me say what is in my mind, whatever may come to me.

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:

Though a man comes to nothing like a bit of dead wood, or like a robe which has become food for the worm.

He comes out like a flower, and is cut down: he goes in flight like a shade, and is never seen again.

If only a clean thing might come out of an unclean! But it is not possible.

For there is hope of a tree; if it is cut down, it will come to life again, and its branches will not come to an end.

But man comes to his death and is gone: he gives up his spirit, and where is he?

So man goes down to his last resting-place and comes not again: till the heavens come to an end, they will not be awake or come out of their sleep.

If only you would keep me safe in the underworld, putting me in a secret place till your wrath is past, giving me a fixed time when I might come to your memory again!

If death takes a man, will he come to life again? All the days of my trouble I would be waiting, till the time came for me to be free.

But truly a mountain falling comes to dust, and a rock is moved from its place;

His sons come to honour, and he has no knowledge of it; they are made low, but he is not conscious of it.

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

A sound of fear is in his ears; in time of peace destruction will come on him:

He does not come out of the dark; his branches are burned by the flame, and the wind takes away his bud.

He is like a vine whose grapes do not come to full growth, or an olive-tree dropping its flowers.

Such things have frequently come to my ears: you are comforters who only give trouble.

It has come up as a witness against me, and the wasting of my flesh makes answer to my face.

Their mouths are open wide against me; the blows of his bitter words are falling on my face; all of them come together in a mass against me.

His bowmen come round about me; their arrows go through my body without mercy; my life is drained out on the earth.

I am broken with wound after wound; he comes rushing on me like a man of war.

For in a short time I will take the journey from which I will not come back.

But come back, now, all of you, come; and I will not see a wise man among you.

But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?

His foot is taken in the net; he comes into its grip.

His armies come on together, they make their road high against me, and put up their tents round mine.

But I am certain that he who will take up my cause is living, and that in time to come he will take his place on the dust;

Like the waste from his body he comes to an end for ever: those who have seen him say, Where is he?

He had never enough for his desire; for this cause his well-being will quickly come to an end.

God gives him his desire, and sends the heat of his wrath on him, making it come down on him like rain.

He is pulling it out, and it comes out of his back; and its shining point comes out of his side; he is overcome by fears.

Their houses are free from fear, and the rod of God does not come on them.

Their days come to an end without trouble, and suddenly they go down to the underworld.

How frequently is the light of the evil-doers put out, or does trouble come on them? how frequently does his wrath take them with cords?

One comes to his end in complete well-being, full of peace and quiet:

And another comes to his end with a bitter soul, without ever tasting good.

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

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

Your purposes will come about, and light will be shining on your ways.

If only I had knowledge of where he might be seen, so that I might come even to his seat!

For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like gold.

From the town come sounds of pain from those who are near death, and the soul of the wounded is crying out for help; but God does not take note of their prayer.

See, these are only the outskirts of his ways; and how small is that which comes to our ears about him! But the thunder of his acts of power is outside all knowledge.

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.

Let my hater be like the evil man, and let him who comes against me be as the sinner.

Will his cry come to the ears of God when he is in trouble?

When those of his house who are still living come to their end by disease, they are not put into the earth, and their widows are not weeping for them.

As for the earth, bread comes out of it; but under its face it is turned up as if by fire.

He keeps back the streams from flowing, and makes the secret things come out into the light.

From where then does wisdom come, and where is the resting-place of knowledge?

Then I said, I will come to my end with my children round me, my days will be as the sand in number;

They have made waste my roads, with a view to my destruction; his bowmen come round about me;

As through a wide broken place in the wall they come on, I am overturned by the shock of their attack.
