Now his sons were wont to go, and make a banquet, at the house of each one upon his day, - and to send and call their three sisters, to eat and to drink with them.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan also came among them.

But put forth Your hand now and touch all that he has; he will surely curse You to Your face.”

Now on the day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother’s house,

and said, "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I turn thither again. The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; now blessed be the name of the LORD."

However, put forth Your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh; he will curse You to Your face.”

Now when Job’s three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, they came each one from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite; and they made an appointment together to come to sympathize with him and comfort him.

“For now I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,

with kings and counselors of the earth who built for themselves places now desolate,

Was I not happy? Had I not quietness? Was I not in rest? And now cometh such misery upon me!"

“But now it has come to you, and you are impatient;
It touches you, and you are dismayed.

Where is now thy fear of God, thy steadfastness, thy patience, and the perfectness of thy ways?

“Remember now, who ever perished being innocent?
Or where were the upright destroyed?

“Now a word was brought to me stealthily,
And my ear received a whisper of it.

“Call now, is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the holy ones will you turn?

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

"Now as for me, I would seek God if I were you; I would commit my case to God.

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the seas; therefore my words are vehement.

The things that sometime I might not away withal, are now my meat for very sorrow.

“Indeed, you have now become such,
You see a terror and are afraid.

“Now please look at me,
And see if I lie to your face.

“Desist now, let there be no injustice;
Even desist, my righteousness is yet in it.

The eye of him who sees me now will see me no more; your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.

“Why then do You not pardon my transgression
And take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust;
And You will seek me, but I will not be.”

If thou wouldest now resort unto God betimes, and make thy humble prayer to the Almighty;

If you are pure and upright,
Surely now He would rouse Himself for you
And restore your righteous estate.

Insomuch, that wherein soever thou hadst little afore, thou shouldest now have great abundance.

Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:

The earth was given into the hand of the unjust one: he will cover the faces of her judges; if not now, who is it?

“Now my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.

It grieveth my soul to live. Nevertheless, now will I put forth my words: I will speak out of the very heaviness of my soul,

"Your hands have shaped me and made me, but now you destroy me completely.

‘Remember now, that You have made me as clay;
And would You turn me into dust again?

If they had carried me to my grave as soon as I was born, then should I be now, as though I had never been.

"Now for you, if you will prepare your heart, spread out your hands to him.

For, now, shalt thou forget, sorrow, Like waters passed away, shalt thou remember it.

“But now ask the beasts, and let them teach you;
And the birds of the heavens, and let them tell you.

Hear now my defence, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

"Hold your tongues now, and let me speak, for there is something come into my mind.

“Behold now, I have prepared my case;
I know that I will be vindicated.

Who is he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp.

“For You write bitter things against me [in Your indictment]
And make me inherit and suffer for the iniquities of my youth.

But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.

Only, now, it hath wearied me; Thou hast desolated all my company,

Also, now, lo, in the heavens is my witness, And my testifier in the high places.

“Lay down, now, a pledge for me with Yourself;
Who is there that will be my guarantor?

Now as for the one who testifies against his friends to take their property, even the eyes of his children will fail.

“But come again all of you now,
For I do not find a wise man among you.

And where is now my hope? Yea, my hope, who doth behold it?

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?

Other men shall dwell in his house - which now is none of his - and brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

Such are now the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God."

Ten times now you have made sport of me; it gives you no sense of shame to do me wrong.

Know now, that God turned me upside down, And His net against me hath set round,

He is breaking me down on every side, and now it's too late for me; he has uprooted my hopes like a tree.

Who doth grant now, That my words may be written? Who doth grant that in a book they may be graven?

So that the eye which saw him before, getteth now no sight of him, and his place knoweth him no more.

From his youth his bones are full of vice; but now shall it lie down with him in the earth.

One dieth now when he is mighty and at his best, rich and in prosperity;

Now sleep they both alike in the earth, and the worms cover them.

For you say, 'Where now is the nobleman's house, and where are the tents in which the wicked lived?'

“That evil men are [now] reserved for the day of disaster and destruction,
They will be led away on the day of [God’s] wrath?

Now because that God is higher than the heavens, and because thou seest the stars are so high,

“Yield now and be at peace with Him;
Thereby good will come to you.

Take now the law from his mouth, and set his words in thy heart

And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?

This is now a short sum of his doings. But who is able sufficiently to rehearse his works? Who can perceive and understand the thunder of his power?"

"O that I could be as I was in the months now gone, in the days when God watched over me,

And now, laughed at me, Have the younger in days than I, Whose fathers I have loathed to set With the dogs of my flock.

And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword.

And now, in me my soul poureth itself out, Seize me do days of affliction.

You changed toward me, and now you're cruel to me; with your mighty hand you are persecuting me;

In times past thou didst set me up on high, as it were above the wind, but now hast thou given me a very sore fall.

Now use not men to do violence unto them, that are destroyed already; but where hurt is done, there use they to help.

But now I am a companion of dragons, and a fellow of ostriches.

Now Elihu had waited to speak to Job because they were years older than he.

Now I was paying you close attention, yet there was no one proving Job wrong, not one of you was answering his statements!

Now he hath not directed his words against me; and I will not answer him with your speeches. ...

Should I continue to wait now that they are silent,
now that they stand there and no longer answer?

“Let me now be partial to no one,
Nor flatter any man.

"Now please listen to what I have to say, Job. Listen to every word!

“Behold now, I open my mouth,
My tongue in my mouth speaks.

“Answer me, if you can;
Set yourselves before me, take your stand.

"Now hast thou spoken in mine ears, and I have heard the voice of thy words:

Now in this, you are not right -- I answer you, for God is greater than a human being.

His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen now stick out.

If now there may be an angel sent to him, one of the thousands which there are to be between him and God, and to make clear to man what is right for him;

Now this is Job's claim: "Even though I'm innocent, God has stopped treating me righteously.

Now then, you wise, take note; you men of knowledge, give ear to me. Let it be far from God to do evil, and from the Ruler of all to do wrong.

If now thou hast understanding, hear this: give ear to the voice of my words!

Insomuch that they have caused the voice of the poor to come unto him, and now he heareth the complaint of such as are in necessity.

And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.

If they now will take heed and be obedient, they shall wear out their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasure and joy.

But now you are occupied with the case of the wicked; but justice and judgment will be served.

"Now I'll conclude with this: my heart is trembling violently; it feels like it's about to leap from my body!

“God seals (brings to a standstill, stops) [by severe weather] the hand of every man,
That all men [whom He has made] may know His work [that is, His sovereign power and their subjection to it].

And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it is in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.

“Now gird up your loins like a man,
And I will ask you, and you instruct Me!

Hast thou also perceived how broad the earth is? Now if thou hast knowledge of all,

I have spoken once, and I will not reply;
twice, but now I can add nothing.
