Now his sons used to go and hold a feast in the house of each one in turn, and they would send and invite 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 came also among them.

But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.

Now the day came when Job's sons and 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."

But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then would I 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 is come upon you, and you faint; it touches you, and you are troubled.

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

"{Think} now, who has perished [who is] innocent? Or where [are] the upright destroyed?

Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and my ear received a whisper of it.

Call now, if there be any that 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.

But now will I speak of the LORD, and talk of God:

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

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

For now you are nothing; you see my terror, and are afraid.

Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.

“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.

And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and you shall seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

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

If you were pure and upright; surely now he would awake for you, and make the habitation of your righteousness prosperous.

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

"For inquire now of the former generation, and pay attention to the findings of their ancestors;

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 shaped me and formed me.
Will You now turn and destroy me?

Please remember that You formed me like clay.
Will You now return me to dust?

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.

"If thou hadst now a right heart, and liftest up thine hands toward him;

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

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell you:

Hear now my reasoning, 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 shall be justified.

Who is he that will contend with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall die.

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

For now you number my steps: do not watch over my sin.

But now he has made me weary: you have made desolate all my company.

Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.

Lay down now a pledge, be thou surety for me with thyself: who is he that striketh hands with me?

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

But as for you all, do you return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.

And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see 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."

You have humiliated me ten times now,
and you mistreat me without shame.

Know now that God has overthrown me, and has compassed me with his net.

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

Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

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 the wicked lived in?”

“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,

Acquaint now yourself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto you.

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

And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech worth nothing?

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 till Job had spoken, because they were 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 has not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

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

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

"But now, please hear my speeches, Job, and hear all my words.

Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue has spoken in my mouth.

“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.

Now if there be a messenger, one among a thousand sent for to speak unto man, and to show him the right way;

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 you have understanding, hear this: hearken 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.

Yet now you are obsessed with the judgment due the wicked;
judgment and justice have seized you.

"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.

Gird up now your loins like a man; for I will demand of you, and you answer 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.
