But put forth your hand now, and touch all that he has, and he will curse you to your face.

But put forth your hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse you to your face.

And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in your hand; but spare his life.

But he said unto her, You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. 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.

Let the stars of its twilight be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

Who long for death, but it comes not; and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;

If we venture to converse with you, will you be grieved? but who can withhold himself from speaking?

But now it is come upon you, and you faint; it touches you, and you are troubled.

It stood still, but I could not discern its form: an image was before my eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice, saying,

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

But he saves the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and from the hand of the mighty.

But Job answered and said,

How forceful are right words! but what does your arguing prove?

And why do you not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and you shall seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)

He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.

I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just before God?

Lo, he goes by me, and I see him not: he passes on also, but I perceive him not.

For, though I were righteous, yet could I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.

He will not permit me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.

But oh that God would speak, and open his lips against you;

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not escape, and their hope shall be as one dying.

But I have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you: yea, who knows not such things as these?

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell you:

But you are forgers of lies, you are all physicians of no value.

But man dies, and wastes away: yea, man expires, and where is he?

His sons come to honor, and he knows it not; and they are brought low, but he perceives it not of them.

But now he has made me weary: you have made desolate all my company.

I was at ease, but he has broken me asunder: he has also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.

My friends scorn me: but my eye pours out tears unto God.

But as for you all, do you return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.

Behold, I cry out concerning wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no justice.

But you should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?

That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the joy of the hypocrite but for a moment?

But Job answered and said,

But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honorable man dwelt in it.

Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

Surely our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumes.

Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.

Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:

On the left hand, where he does work, but I cannot behold him: he hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

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

But he is of one mind, and who can turn him? and what his soul desires, even that he does.

They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all others, and cut off as the tops of the ears of grain.

But Job answered and said,

Lo, these are only parts of his ways: and how little a whisper is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

But none says, Where is God my maker, who gives songs in the night;

There they cry, but none gives answer, because of the pride of evil men.

But now, because it is not so, he has visited in his anger; yet he knows it not in a great extreme:

He preserves not the life of the wicked: but gives justice to the poor.

He withdraws not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings they are on the throne; yea, he does establish them forever, and they are exalted.

But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

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

But you have fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on you.

And now men can not look on the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and clears them.

And said, Thus far shall you come, but no farther: and here shall your proud waves be stopped?

Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

I have heard of you by the hearing of the ear: but now my eye sees you.

But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law does he meditate day and night.

The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind drives away.

For the LORD knows the way of the righteous: but the way of the ungodly shall perish.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

But you, O LORD, are a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up of my head.

But know that the LORD has set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.

But as for me, I will come into your house in the multitude of your mercy: and in your fear will I worship toward your holy temple.

But let all those that put their trust in you rejoice: let them ever shout for joy, because you defend them: let them also that love your name be joyful in you.

Oh let the wickedness of the wicked come to an end; but establish the just: for the righteous God tests the minds and hearts.

But the LORD shall endure forever: he has prepared his throne for judgment.

Put them in fear, O LORD: that the nations may know themselves to be but men. Selah.

The LORD tests the righteous: but the wicked and him that loves violence his soul hates.

But I have trusted in your mercy; my heart shall rejoice in your salvation.

You have shamed the counsel of the poor, but the LORD is his refuge.

In whose eyes a vile person is despised; but he honors them that fear the LORD. He that swears to his own hurt, and changes not.

But to the saints that are in the earth, and to the noble, in whom is all my delight.

They confronted me in the day of my calamity: but the LORD was my stay.

For you will save the humble people; but will bring down haughty looks.

Some trust in chariots, and some in horses: but we will remember the name of the LORD our God.

They are brought down and fallen: but we are risen, and stand upright.
