But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.

According as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, And sow trouble, reap the same.

I have seen the foolish taking root: But suddenly I cursed his habitation.

Which are black by reason of the ice, And wherein the snow hideth itself:

He is green before the sun, And his shoots go forth over his garden.

If he be destroyed from his place, Then it shall deny him,'saying , I have not seen thee.

That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And sealeth up the stars;

If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands never so clean;

If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, Or that the needy had no covering;

If I have beheld the sun when it shined, Or the moon walking in brightness,

(Yea, I have not suffered by mouth to sin By asking his life with a curse);

For I know not to give flattering titles; Else would my Maker soon take me away.

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

For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.
