And his sons went and made a drinking in the house, a man his day; and they sent and called for their three sisters to eat and drink with them.

And it will be that the days of drinking went round, and Job will send and consecrate them, and he rose early in the morning and brought up burnt-offerings for the number of them all: for Job said, Perhaps my sons sinned, and blessed God in their hearts. Thus did Job all the days.

And Jehovah will say to the adversary, From whence wilt thou come? And the adversary will answer Jehovah, and say, From running to and fro in the earth, and from walking about in it.

And Jehovah will say to the adversary, Didst thou set thy heart to my servant Job? for none like him in the earth; a man blameless and upright, fearing God and departing from evil.

And the adversary will answer Yehovah and say, Did Job fear God gratuitously?

This one yet speaking, and this came, and he will say, The fire of God. fell from the heavens, and it will burn upon the sheep and upon the young men, and it will devour them; and I shall escape, only I alone, to announce to thee.

And behold, a great wind came from beyond the desert., and it will touch upon the four corners of the house, and fall upon the young men, and they will die; and I shall escape, I only, to announce to thee.

And Jehovah will say to the adversary, From whence wilt thou come? And the adversary will answer to Jehovah and say, From running to and fro in the earth, and from walking about in it

And the adversary will answer Jehovah and say, Skin for skin, and all which is to a man he will give for his soul.

And the three friends of Job will hear all this evil coming upon him, and they will come, a man from his place:: Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: and they will appoint to come together to deplore for him, and to comfort him.

And they will lift up their eyes from far off, and they knew him not, and they will lift up their voice and weep; and they will rend each his covering, and they will sprinkle dust upon their heads to the heavens.

And they sat with him upon, the earth seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word to him: for they saw that grief was great exceedingly.

The stars of its twilight shall he dark; it shall wait for light, and none; and it shall not look upon the eyelashes of the dawn.,

For now I lay down and I shall rest; I slept: then there will be rest to me.

With kings and counselors of the earth building the wastes for themselves;

The little and the great, he is there; and the servant being free from his lord.

Waiting for death, and it is not; and they will dig more than for hidden treasures;

For my sighing will come before any bread, and my groanings shall be poured put as waters.

For I feared a fear, and it will come upon me, and what I was afraid of will come to me.

Is not thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the integrity of thy ways?

Fear met me, and trembling, and caused the multitude of my bones to tremble.

For to the foolish, and anger will slay, and the simple will jealousy kill.

His sons shall be far from salvation, and they shall be crushed in the gate, and none delivering.

For toil will not come forth from the dust, and labor will not spring up from the earth;

For man shall be born to labor as the sons of the flame will lift up to fly.

For he will cause pain, and he will bind up: he will smite and his hands will heal.

At desolation and at hunger thou shalt laugh, and from the beasts of the earth thou shalt not fear.

For with the stones of the field they covenant, and the beast of the field was at peace with thee.

Behold this, we searched it out, so it is: hear it, and know thou for thyself.

For now it will be heavy above the sand of the seas: for this my words were rash.

For the arrows of the Almighty are with me, which their anger drank up my spirit: the terrors of God will be prepared for me.

And it will yet be my consolation, and I shall exult in pain: he will not spare; for I hid not the words of of the Holy One.

For what my strength that I shall wait and what my end, that I shall prolong my soul?

To him melting, mercy from his friend; and he will forsake the fear of the Almighty.

Behold the paths of Tema; the goings of Sheba, wait ye for them.

They were ashamed for trusting; they came even to it, they will be put to shame.

For now ye were not: ye shall see the terror and be afraid.

For did I say, Give to me? and from your strength make ye a present for me?

Will ye purpose to reprove words, and for the spirit of the words of him despairing?

But ye will cause the orphans to fall, and ye will dig for your friend.

As the servant will gape for the shadow, and as the hireling will wait for his work:

For I said, My bed shall comfort me; my couch shall lift up in my complaint;

I melted away; I shall not live forever: desist from me, for my days are vanity.

And thou wilt review him for the mornings, and thou wilt try him for the moments.

I sinned; what shall I do to thee, guarding men? wherefore didst thou set me for an assault to thee, and I shall be upon myself for a burden?

And why wilt thou not lift up my transgression and pass over mine iniquity? for now I shall lie down to the dust; and thou soughtest me and I was not

If thou wert pure and upright, for now he will awake for thee and requite the habitation of thy justice.

For ask now to the first generation, and prepare to seek their fathers:

(For yesterday are we and we shall not know, for our days upon earth are a shadow:)

Saying to the sun, and it shall not rise; and for the stars he will seal them up

Behold, he will pass by me, and I shall not see: and he will glide on and I shall not understand for him.

He will not give me to draw in my spirit, for he will fill me with bitterness.

If for strength, behold him strong: if for judgment, who shall arraign me

It is one: for this, I said, The blameless one and the unjust one he finishes.

For not a man as I; I shall answer him, we shall come together in judgment

I will speak, and I shall not fear him; but not so am I with myself.

Saying to God, Thou wilt not condemn me; make known to me for what thou wilt contend with me.

That thou wilt seek for mine iniquity, and wilt search out for my sins?

And he shall announce to thee hidden things of wisdom, for they are the double for understanding. And know thou that God will set to thee from thine iniquity.

For he knew men of vanity, and he will see iniquity; and will he not understand?

If iniquity in thy hand, remove it far off, and wickedness shall not dwell in thy tents.

For then thou shalt lift up thy face from spot; and thou wert firm, and thou shalt not fear:

For thou shalt forget toil, then shalt remember as waters they passed away.

And thou didst trust, for there is hope; and thou didst search out; thou shalt lie down confidently.

And thou shalt lie down and none terrifying; and many waited for thy face.

To misfortune is contempt to the thoughts of him at ease, being prepared for the waverings of the foot

Behold all mine eye saw, and mine ear heard, and it will understand for it

And on the contrary, ye devise falsehood; physicians all of you for nothing.

Who will give silence? Ye shall be silent, and it shall be to you for wisdom.

Will ye speak wickedness for God? and will ye speak deceit to him?

Will ye accept his face? will ye contend for God?

For what shall I lift up my flesh in my teeth, and shall I put my soul in my hand?

Also he is to me for salvation for a profane one shall not come before him.

Who is he will contend with me? for now shall I be silent and expire;

Remove thy hand far from me, and thy terror shall not make me afraid.

Why wilt thou hide thy face, and reckon me for an enemy to thee?

For thou wilt write bitter things against me; and thou wilt give me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

For who shall give a clean thing from an unclean? Not one.

For there is hope for a tree if it shall be cut down, and it shall yet revive, and its suckers shall not cease.

Who will give thou wilt hide me in hades? wilt thou cover me till the turning away of thine anger? wilt thou set for me a limit, and wilt thou remember me?

Thou shalt call and I will answer thee: thou wilt long for the work of thy hands.

For now thou wilt count my steps: wilt thou not watch over my sin?

His sons will be honored and he knew not: they will be brought low, and he will not understand for them.

Also thou wilt bring to nought, fear, and thou wilt withhold meditation before God.

For thy mouth will accustom itself to thine iniquity, and thou wilt choose the tongue of the crafty.

He will not believe to turn back from darkness, and he was waited for by the sword.

He wandered about for bread, where he knew that the day of darkness was ready at his hand.

Straitness and distress shall terrify him; they shall overpower him as a king ready for war.

For he stretched forth his hand against God, and he will strengthen himself against the Almighty.

For he covered his face with his fat, and he will make fatness upon the flank

And he will dwell in cities out off, the houses shall not be inhabited by them, which were ready for heaps.

He being deceived shall not trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his compensation.

For the assembly of the profane is hard, and fire consumed the tents of the gift

Thou wilt lay fast hold on me to be for a testimony, and my leanness will rise up in me; it will answer against my face.

He rent in his anger, and he will lie in wait for me, gnashing upon me with his teeth; mine enemy will sharpen his eyes against me.

I was secure, and he will break me in pieces: and he seized upon my neck and he will disperse me, and he will set me up to him for a mark:

Not for violence in my hands: and my prayer is clean.

O earth, thou wilt not cover my blood; and shall there not be place for my cry?

Shall he judge for a man with God? and the son of man for his neighbor?

My spirit being destroyed my days were extinct; the graves are for me.
