But put forth thy hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will renounce thee to thy face.

and the Sabeans fell [upon them], and took them away. Yea, they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.

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

And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they are dead, and only I alone have escaped to tell thee.

But put forth thy hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will renounce thee to thy face.

If a man tries to converse with thee, will thou be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?

But now it comes to thee, and thou faint. It touches thee, and thou are troubled.

Remember, I pray thee, who [ever] perished, being innocent? Or where were the upright cut off?

Call now, is there any who will answer thee? And to which of the holy ones will thou turn?

He will deliver thee in six troubles. Yea, in seven there shall no evil touch thee.

In famine he will redeem thee from death, and in war from the power of the sword.

For thou shall be in league with the stones of the field, and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.

If I have sinned, what do I do to thee, O thou watcher of men? Why have thou set me as a mark for thee, so that I am a burden to myself?

if thou were pure and upright, surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

For inquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out

If he is destroyed from his place, then it shall deny him, [saying], I have not seen thee.

Those who hate thee shall be clothed with shame, and the tent of the wicked shall be no more.

Is it good to thee that thou should oppress, that thou should despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?

Remember, I beseech thee, that thou have fashioned me as clay. And will thou bring me into dust again?

Yet these things thou hid in thy heart. I know that this is with thee.

Should thy boastings make men hold their peace? And when thou mock, shall no man make thee ashamed?

But O that God would speak, and open his lips against thee,

and that he would show thee the secrets of wisdom! For he is manifold in understanding. Know therefore that God exacts of thee less than thine iniquity deserves.

And thou shall be secure, because there is hope. Yea, thou shall search [about thee], and shall take thy rest in safety.

Also thou shall lie down, and none shall make thee afraid. Yea, many shall correspond with thee.

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee.

Or speak to the earth, and it shall teach thee, and the fishes of the sea shall declare to thee.

And do thou open thine eyes upon such a one, and bring me into judgment with thee?

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months is with thee, and thou have appointed his bounds that he cannot pass,

Thou would call, and I would answer thee. Thou would have a desire to the work of thy hands.

Thine own mouth condemns thee, and not I. Yes, thine own lips testify against thee.

Are the consolations of God too small for thee, even the word that is gentle toward thee?

Why does thy heart carry thee away? And why do thine eyes flash,

I will show thee. Hear thou me, and that which I have seen I will declare,

Shall vain words have an end? Or what provokes thee that thou answer?

Thou who tear thyself in thine anger, shall the earth be forsaken for thee? Or shall the rock be removed out of its place?

Is it for thy fear [of him] that he reproves thee, that he enters with thee into judgment?

Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubles thee,

or darkness, so that thou cannot see, and abundance of waters cover thee.

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace. By this good shall come to thee.

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

Yea, the Almighty will be thy treasure, and precious silver to thee.

Thou shall make thy prayer to him, and he will hear thee, and thou shall pay thy vows.

Thou shall also decree a thing, and it shall be established to thee. And light shall shine upon thy ways.

When they cast [thee] down, thou shall say, [There is] lifting up, and he will save the humble man.

To whom have thou uttered words? And whose spirit came forth from thee?

I cry to thee, and thou do not answer me. I stand up, and thou gaze at me.

However, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, and hearken to all my words.

Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, nor shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.

Behold, I will answer thee. In this thou are not just, for God is greater than man.

If thou have anything to say, answer me. Speak, for I desire to justify thee.

If not, hearken thou to me. Keep silent, and I will teach thee.

That thou said, What advantage will it be to thee? [And], What profit shall I have more than if I had sinned?

I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress into a broad place, where there is no confinement, and that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness.

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

Have the gates of death been revealed to thee? Or have thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?

Can thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

Can thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, and say to thee, Here we are?

Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib?

Can thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

Will he make many supplications to thee? Or will he speak soft words to thee?

Will he make a covenant with thee, that thou should take him for a servant forever?
