{Then when} the days of the feast had run their course, {Job would send}, and he would sanctify them. Thus he would arise early in the morning and offer burnt offerings [according to] the number of all of them, because Job thought, "Perhaps my children have sinned and {cursed} God in their heart." This is what Job used to do {all the time}.

the Sabeans came in violently, and took them all away: yea, they have slain thy servants with the sword, and I only ran my way, to tell thee."

And while he was yet speaking, there came another, and said, "The fire of God is fallen from heaven, it hath consumed, and burnt up all thy sheep and servants: and I only ran my way, to tell thee."

Yahweh said to Satan, "Have you considered my servant Job? For there is none like him in the earth, a blameless and an upright man, one who fears God, and turns away from evil. He still maintains his integrity, although you incited me against him, to ruin him without cause."

“His children are far from safety [and included in their father’s ruin],
They are oppressed and crushed in the [court of justice in the city’s] gate,

Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields:

Insomuch that they run into darkness by fair day, and grope about them at the noonday, like as in the night.

Oh that, weighed, were my vexation, and, my engulfing ruin - into the balances, they would lift up all at once!

Is there, in my tongue, perversity? Or can, my sense, not discern, engulfing ruin?

My flesh is clothed with worms and a coating of dust, My skin, hath hardened, and then run afresh:

My soul is weary of my life. I will give free reign to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

‘You renew Your witnesses against me
And increase Your indignation and anger toward me;
Hardship after hardship is with me [attacking me time after time].

Then shouldest thou forget thy misery, and think no more upon it, than upon the waters that run by.

For ruin, there is contempt, in the thought of the man at ease, - ready, for such as are of faltering foot!

When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.

They let their little ones run around like lambs;
their children skip about,

His eyes shall see his ruin, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.

For what does he care about his family once he is dead,
when the number of his months has run out?

Shouldest thou then see no darkness? Should not the water flood run over thee?

They are wet with the rain of the mountains, and get into the cracks of the rock for cover.

The place of ruin and death say, We have heard the fame of it with our ears.

When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

When my ways ran over with butter, and when the stony rocks gave me rivers of oil;

And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.

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.

They brake up my path, - My engulfing ruin, they helped forward, unaided;

As through a wide breach they come: In the midst of the ruin they roll themselves upon me .

Surely not against the heap Doth He send forth the hand, Though in its ruin they have safety.

Is not disaster for [the] evil one and ruin for [the] workers of mischief?

"If I've lived my life in the company of vanity, or run quickly to embrace deception,

And [illicit passion] would burn and rage and uproot all my [life’s] increase [destroying everything].

If I rejoice at the ruin of my hater, And stirred up myself when evil found him,

That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

When the clouds pour down; they drop their rain on all of humanity.

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

The clouds do their labour in getting moistness, the clouds pour down the rain.

Who hath divided a channel for the rain-flood, and a way for the thunder's flash;

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

Moreover, canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that they may pour down a great rain upon thee?

When the dust hardens into a mass
And the clods stick together [because of the heat]?

Canst thou bind the wild-ox, so that - with the ridge - shall run his cord? Or will he harrow the furrows after thee?

And yet when she gets ready to run, she laughs at the horse and its rider."

He laughs at fear, since he is afraid of nothing;
he does not run from the sword.

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