And when they had gone around the day of feasting, Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all. For Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned and cursed God in their hearts. So Job did always.

And Jehovah said to Satan, From where do you come? Then Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

While he was still speaking, there also came another and said, The fire of God has fallen from the heavens and has burned up the sheep and the servants, and destroyed them. And I only have escaped alone to tell you.

And Jehovah said to Satan, From where do you come? And Satan answered Jehovah and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and down in it.

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and did not know him, they lifted up their voice and wept. And each one tore his robe, and they sprinkled dust upon their heads toward Heaven.

Let those curse it who curse the day, who are ready to stir up Leviathan.

For it did not shut up the doors of my mother's womb, nor hide sorrow from my eyes.

And a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up.

Is not their tent cord plucked up within them? They die, but not with wisdom.

Their harvest the hungry eats, and takes it even out of the thorns; and the snare swallows up their wealth.

For affliction does not come forth from the dust, nor does trouble spring up out of the ground;

to set on high those who are low, so that those who mourn may be lifted up to safety;

For He makes sore, and binds up; He wounds, and His hands make whole.

You shall be hidden from the whip of the tongue; neither shall you be afraid of robbery when it comes.

As the cloud falls and vanishes away, so he who goes down to the grave shall come up no more.

Can the rush grow up without mire? Can the reed-grass grow without water?

His hope shall be cut off, and his trust shall be in a spider's web.

the One speaking to the sun, and it does not rise; and seals up the stars;

If the whip kills suddenly, He will mock at the calamity of the innocent.

If I am wicked, woe to me; and if I am righteous, I will not lift up my head, being filled with shame, and looking on my affliction.

Why then have You brought me from the womb? Oh that I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me!

If He passes through and shuts up, or gathers together, then who can turn Him back?

surely then you shall lift up your face without spot; yea, you shall be steadfast and shall not fear;

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no escape, and their hope shall be like the giving up of the spirit.

Behold, He breaks down, and it can not be built up again; He shuts up a man, and no one opens.

Behold, He withholds the waters, and they dry up; also He sends them out, and they overturn the earth.

Will you lift up His person, or contend for God?

He will surely blame you, if you secretly lift up persons.

As the waters fail from the sea, and a river falls away and dries up,

My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and You cover over my iniquity.

He shall not escape from darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and at the breath of his mouth he shall turn away.

I also could speak as you do; if your soul were in my soul's place. I could heap up words against you, and shake my head at you.

And You have plucked me, for it is a witness, and my failure rises up against me, and it answers to my face.

I was at ease, but He has broken me in pieces; yea, He has also taken me by my neck and shaken me to pieces and set me up for His mark.

For You have hidden their heart from understanding; therefore You shall not lift them up.

Upright ones shall be amazed at this, and the innocent shall stir himself up against the ungodly.

His roots shall be dried up beneath, and his branch shall wither above.

He has fenced up my way so that I cannot pass, and He has set darkness in my paths.

His troops come together and raise up their way against me, and camp around my tent.

Though his honor mounts up to the heavens, and his head reaches to the clouds,

The heavens shall reveal his iniquity, and the earth rise up against him.

They lift up voice at the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the flute.

God lays up his iniquity for his children. He repays him, and he knows.

Please receive the Law from His mouth and lay up His words in your heart.

If you return to the Almighty, you shall be built up; you shall put away injustice far from your tents.

Then you shall lay up gold like dust, and among the rock of the torrents of Ophir.

For then you shall have your delight in the Almighty, and shall lift up your face to God.

Drought and heat eat up the snow waters; so does the grave those who have sinned.

He also draws the mighty with his power; he rises up, and no one is sure of life.

They are lifted up for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are gathered in like all others, and are cut off like the heads of the ears of grain.

He binds up the waters in His thick clouds; and the cloud is not torn under them.

And Job continued the lifting up of His speech, and said,

Let my enemy be like the wicked, and he who rises up against me as the perverse.

Those who remain of him shall be buried in death; and his widows shall not weep.

Though he heaps up silver like the dust, and prepares clothing like the clay,

The east wind lifts him up, and he is gone; for it whirls him out of his place.

As to the earth, out of it comes bread; and underneath it is turned up like fire.

And Job continued the lifting up of his speech, and said,

The young men saw me and hid themselves; and the aged arose and stood up.

They are dried up with want and famine; they who gnaw the dry ground, which was before waste and ruin,

On my right a brood rises; they push away my feet and raise up against me the ways of their ruin.

I cried to You, and You did not hear me; I stood up, and You did not consider me.

You lift me up to the wind; You cause me to ride on it; and You melt me in a storm.

Did I not weep for him whose day was hard; and my soul grieved for the poor?

I go in mourning with no sun; I stood up and I cried out in the congregation.

what then shall I do when God rises up? And when He calls me to account, what shall I answer Him?

for from my youth he grew up with me, as with a father, and from my mother's womb I guided her;

if I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless when I watched over my help in the gate;

If my lands cry against me, or its furrows weep together;

I will not now lift up the face of a man, nor eulogize any man,

If you can, answer me; set yourself in order before me, stand up.

What man is like Job, who drinks up scorning like water;

How much less to Him who does not lift up the face of rulers, nor regard the rich before the poor? For all of them are the work of His hands.

If they obey and serve Him, they shall spend their days in blessedness, and their years in pleasures.

But if they do not obey, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

But the ungodly in heart heap up wrath; they cry not when He binds them.

For He draws up the drops of water; they distill rain into mist,

He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work.

Whether as a whip, or for His land, or for mercy, He finds it.

Shall it be told Him that I would speak? If a man speaks, surely he shall be swallowed up.

Now gird up your loins like a man; for I will ask of you, and you teach Me.

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as it came from the womb?

Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set up their rulership on the earth?

Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, so that floods of waters may cover you?

At the time she lifts herself up on high, she scorns the horse and its rider.

Does the eagle mount up at your command and make his nest on high?

And his young brood also sucks up blood; and where the dead are, there he is.

Now gird up your loins like a man. I will question you, and you teach Me.

Behold, though a flood presses, he does not run away; he feels safe even if Jordan swells up to his mouth.

None is so fierce as to dare to stir him up; who then is able to stand before Me?

The rows of shields are his pride, shut up with a close seal;

And now take to yourselves seven young bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering. And My servant Job will pray for you. Surely I will lift up his face so as not to do with you according to your foolishness, in that you have not spoken of Me what is right, like My servant Job.
