And the LORD said to Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it.

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, The fire of God hath fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I only have escaped alone to tell thee.

And the LORD said to Satan, Whence comest thou? and Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro on the earth, and from walking up and down upon it.

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they raised their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads towards heaven.

Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise up their mourning.

Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh stood up:

Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.

For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his hands make whole.

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison of which drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God set themselves in array against me.

As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.

Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.

Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

If I be wicked, woe to me; and if I be righteous, yet will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion; therefore see thou my affliction;

If he shall cut off, and shut up, or gather together, then who can hinder him?

For then shalt thou lift up thy face without spot; yes, thou shalt be steadfast, and shalt not fear:

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

Behold, he withholdeth the waters, and they dry up: also he sendeth them out, and they overturn the earth.

As the waters fail from the sea, and the flood decayeth and drieth up:

My transgression is sealed up in a bag, and thou sewest up my iniquity.

He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.

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

And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.

I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.

Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.

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

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

His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp around my tabernacle.

Though his excellence shall mount up to the heavens, and his head reach to the clouds;

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

The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall rise up against him.

God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.

Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thy heart.

If thou shalt return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face to God.

He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

Let my enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as the unrighteous.

Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.

Though he should heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay?

The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant: even the waters forgotten by the foot: they are dried up, they have gone away from men.

As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.

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

Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their food.

Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.

I cry to thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.

Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.

Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?

I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.

My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.

What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

(For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)

If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or have lifted up myself when evil found him:

If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.

What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

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

But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.

He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

Shall it be told him that I speak? If a man shall speak, surely he will be swallowed up.

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

And broke up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not to them.

Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.

Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou to me.

Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.
