Then Job arose, and rent his robe, and shaved his head, and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped;

Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, Nor hid trouble from mine eyes.

For now should I have lain down and been quiet; I should have slept; then had I been at rest,

Or with princes that had gold, Who filled their houses with silver:

Or as a hidden untimely birth I had not been, As infants that never saw light.

Who long for death, but it cometh not, And dig for it more than for hid treasures;

Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, And whom God hath hedged in?

Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue; Neither shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.

What time they wax warm, they vanish; When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

They were put to shame because they had hoped; They came thither, and were confounded.

They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; And the tent of the wicked shall be no more.

If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.

Yet these things thou didst hide in thy heart; I know that this is with thee:

If I be wicked, woe unto me; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up my head; Being filled with ignominy, And looking upon mine affliction.

And if my head exalt itself, thou huntest me as a lion; And again thou showest thyself marvellous upon me.

Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.

I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

Only do not two things unto me; Then will I not hide myself from thy face:

Oh that thou wouldest hide me in Sheol, That thou wouldest keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, That thou wouldest appoint me a set time, and remember me!

(Which wise men have told From their fathers, and have not hid it;

I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you.

For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: Therefore shalt thou not exalt them .

A noose is hid for him in the ground, And a trap for him in the way.

He hath stripped me of my glory, And taken the crown from my head.

Though his height mount up to the heavens, And his head reach unto the clouds;

Though wickedness be sweet in his mouth, Though he hide it under his tongue,

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; And the honorable man, he dwelt in it.

Is not God in the height of heaven? And behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? Nay; but he would give heed unto me.

They turn the needy out of the way: The poor of the earth all hide themselves.

Drought and heat consume the snow waters:'so doth'sheol those that have sinned.

He bindeth the streams that they trickle not; And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.

Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, And kept close from the birds of the heavens.

When his lamp shined upon my head, And by his light I walked through darkness;

The young men saw me and hid themselves, And the aged rose up and stood;

Because I delivered the poor that cried, The fatherless also, that had none to help him.

I smiled on them, when they had no confidence; And the light of my countenance they cast not down.

My skin is black, and falleth from me, And my bones are burned with heat.

If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;

If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great, And because my hand had gotten much;

Oh that I had one to hear me! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me); And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!

Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.

Now Elihu had waited to speak unto Job, because they were elder than he.

That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man;

There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.

That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And , What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?

Take heed, regard not iniquity: For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.

Or who'shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb;

The waters hide themselves and become like stone, And the face of the deep is frozen.

Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden place .

Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears?

I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now mine eye seeth thee:

And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold.

So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

He had also seven sons and three daughters.
