And it was so, when the days of their feasting were finished, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:

Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present himself before the LORD.

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they tore every one his mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.

Why died I not from the womb? why did I not expire when I came out of the womb?

Who rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find the grave?

In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

You shall be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.

Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass? or the ox lows over its fodder?

At what time they become warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they vanish out of their place.

When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.

When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint;

Should your lies make men hold their peace? and when you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?

For a vain man will be wise, when a man is born a wild donkey's colt.

When a few years have come, then I shall go the way where I shall not return.

They shall go down to the gates of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.

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.

Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling takes hold on my flesh.

For what pleasure has he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?

When men are cast down, then you shall say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

But he knows the way that I take: when he has tested me, I shall come forth as gold.

Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he has gained, when God takes away his soul?

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes upon him?

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

Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;

When his lamp shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;

As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tent;

When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

When I went out to the gate of the city, when I prepared my seat in the open square!

When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

What then shall I do when God rises up? and when he comes, what shall I answer him?

If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw I had help in the gate:

If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in brightness;

If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was aroused.

When I had waited, (for they spoke not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

When he gives quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hides his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he binds them.

Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

After it a voice roars: he thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not restrain them when his voice is heard.

Do you know when God dispatched them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

How your garments are warm, when he quiets the earth by the south wind?

Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if you have understanding.

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

When I made the clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band,

When the dust grows into clumps, and the clods cleave fast together?

When they crouch in their dens, and abide in their lairs to lie in wait?

Who provides for the raven its food? when its young ones cry unto God, they wander about for lack of food.

Know you the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or can you mark when the hinds do calve?

Can you number the months that they fulfill? or know you the time when they bring forth?

When she lifts up herself high, she scorns the horse and his rider.

When he raises up himself, the mighty are afraid: because of his crashings they are beside themselves.

And the LORD restored the fortunes of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
