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

And LORD said to Satan, Behold, all that he has is in thy power, only upon himself do not put forth thy hand. So Satan went forth from the presence of LORD.

While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house.

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

And LORD said to Satan, Behold, he is in thy hand, only spare his life.

Thy words have upheld him who was falling, and thou have made firm the feeble knees.

Is not thy fear [of God] thy confidence, the integrity of thy ways thy hope?

And thou shall know that thy tent is in peace, and thou shall visit thy fold, and shall miss nothing.

Thou shall know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

Thou shall come to thy grave in a full age, like a shock of grain comes in its season.

Lo this, we have searched it, so it is. Hear it, and know thou it for thy good.

What is man, that thou should magnify him, and that thou should set thy mind upon him,

How long will thou speak these things? And [how long] shall the words of thy mouth be [like] a mighty wind?

If thy sons have sinned against him, and he has delivered them into the hand of their transgression,

if thou would seek diligently to God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty,

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

And though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end would greatly increase.

He will yet fill thy mouth with laughter, and thy lips with shouting.

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?

Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man's days,

although thou know that I am not wicked. And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?

Thy hands have made me and fashioned me together round about, yet thou destroy me.

Thou have granted me life and loving kindness, and thy visitation has preserved my spirit.

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

Thou renew thy witnesses against me, and increase thine indignation upon me. Changes and warfare are with me.

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

If thou set thy heart aright, and stretch out thy hands toward him,

if iniquity is in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.

Surely then thou shall lift up thy face without spot. Yea, thou shall be steadfast, and shall not fear.

For thou shall forget thy misery. Thou shall remember it as waters that are passed away.

And [thy] life shall be clearer than the noonday. Though there be darkness, it shall be as the morning.

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

Only do not do two things to me, then I will not hide myself from thy face:

Withdraw thy hand far from me, and do not let thy dread make me afraid.

Why do thou hide thy face, and reckon me for thine enemy?

O that thou would hide me in Sheol, that thou would keep me secret, until thy wrath be past, that thou would appoint for me a set time, and remember me!

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

For thine iniquity teaches thy mouth. And thou choose the tongue of the crafty.

With us are both the gray-headed and the very aged men, much older than thy father.

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

that against God thou turn thy spirit, and let words go out of thy mouth?

And they say to God, Depart from us, for we do not desire the knowledge of thy ways.

Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that thou are righteous? Or is it gain [to him] that thou make thy ways perfect?

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

Is not thy wickedness great? Neither is there any end to thine iniquities.

For thou have taken pledges from thy brother for nothing, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

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

If thou return to the Almighty, thou shall be built up, thou put away unrighteousness far from thy tents.

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

For then shall thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shall lift up thy face to God.

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.

He will deliver [even] him who is not innocent. Yea, he shall be delivered through the cleanness of thy hands.

Thou have turned to be cruel to me. With the might of thy hand thou persecute me.

If thou can, answer thou me. Set [thy words] in order before me. Stand forth.

Surely thou have spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy] words, [saying],

I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.

If thou have sinned, what do thou effect against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what do thou to him?

If thou be righteous, what do thou give him? Or what does he receive of thy hand?

Thy wickedness [is] a man as thou are, and thy righteousness [is] a son of man.

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.

Will thy cry not avail in distress, or all the forces of strength?

How thy garments are warm when the earth is still because of the south [wind]?

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

and said, This far thou shall come, but no further, and here thy proud waves shall be stayed?

Have thou commanded the morning since thy days [began], [and] caused the dayspring to know its place

Thou know, for thou were born then, and the number of thy days is great!

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

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

Will thou trust him because his strength is great? Or will thou leave to him thy labor?

Will thou confide in him that he will bring home thy seed, and gather [the grain] of thy threshing-floor?

Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soars, (and) stretches her wings toward the south?

Is it at thy command that the eagle mounts up, and makes her nest on high?

Will thou play with him as with a bird? Or will thou bind him for thy maidens?

Lay thy hand upon him. Remember the battle, and do so no more.

And it was so, that, after LORD had spoken these words to Job, LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends. For ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Jo
