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

who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, and makes us wiser than the birds of the heavens?

How much less when thou say thou do not behold him. The case is before him, and thou wait for him!

(For truly my words are not false.) He who is perfect in knowledge is with thee.

Behold, God is mighty, and does not despise. He is mighty in strength of understanding.

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.

Behold, God does loftily in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

Behold, God is great, and we do not know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.

Yea, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.

After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty, and he does not restrain [the lightnings] when his voice is heard.

By the breath of God ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is narrowed.

and it is turned round about by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them upon the face of the habitable world.

Do thou know the balancing of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

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

Can thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?

Teach us what we shall say to him. We cannot set in array because of darkness.

And now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.

[O] the Almighty, we cannot find him out. He is excellent in power. And in justice and abundant righteousness he will not afflict.

Men therefore fear him. He does not regard any who are wise of heart.

Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

It is changed as clay under the seal, and [all things] stand forth as a garment.

And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the high arm is broken.

Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place of it

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

By what way is the light divided, or the east wind scattered upon the earth?

to cause it to rain on a land where no man is, on the wilderness, in which there is no man,

Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who has engendered it?

The waters hide themselves [and become] like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

whose home I have made the wilderness, and the salt land his dwelling-place?

The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searches after every green thing.

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

She deals hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers. Though her labor be in vain, [she is] without fear,

Have thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is awesome.

He mocks at fear, and is not dismayed. Neither does he turn back from the sword.

He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage, nor does he believe that it is the voice of the trumpet.

As often as the trumpet [sounds] he says, Aha! And he smells the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

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?

Her young ones also suck up blood. And where the slain are, there is she.

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

Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Will not [a man] be cast down even at the sight of him?

None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?

Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Under the whole heaven is mine.

Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.

One is so near to another that no air can come between them.

Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot and [burning] rushes.

His heart is as firm as a stone, Yea, firm as the nether millstone.

He counts iron as straw, [and] brass as rotten wood.

Clubs are counted as stubble. He laughs at the rushing of the javelin.

His underparts are [like] sharp potsherds. He spreads out [as] a threshing-wagon upon the mire.

Upon earth there is not his like who is made without fear.

He beholds everything that is high. He is king over all the sons of pride.

Who is this who hides counsel without knowledge? Therefore I have uttered that which I did not understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did not know.

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

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and did according as LORD commanded them, and LORD accepted Job.

And LORD turned [back] the captivity of Job when he prayed for his friends. And LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.

And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job. And their father gave them inheritance among their brothers.

Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked, nor stands in the way of sinners, nor sits in the seat of scoffers,

but his delight is in the law of LORD, and on his law he meditates day and night.

And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, that brings forth its fruit in its season, whose leaf also does not wither. And whatever he does shall prosper.

Let us break their bonds apart, and cast away their cords from us.

Now therefore be wise, O ye kings. Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

Many there are who say of my soul, There is no help for him in God. Selah.

But know that LORD has set apart for himself him who is holy. LORD will hear when I call to him.

Many there are who say, Who will show us good? LORD, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.

But as for me, in the abundance of thy loving kindness I will come into thy house. In thy fear I will worship toward thy holy temple.

For there is no faithfulness in their mouth. Their inward part is very wickedness. Their throat is an open sepulcher. With their tongue they {deceive (LXX/NT)}.

For thou will bless the righteous man, O LORD. Thou will encompass him with favor as with a shield. Selah.

My soul also is greatly troubled. And thou, O LORD, how long?

For in death there is no remembrance of thee. In Sheol who shall give thee thanks?

lest they tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while there is none to deliver.

LORD shall judge the peoples. Judge me, O LORD, according to my righteousness, and to my integrity that is in me.

My shield is with God, who saves the upright in heart.

God is a righteous judge. Yea, a God who has indignation every day.

He has made a pit, and dug it, and is fallen into the ditch which he made.

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth, who has set thy glory upon the heavens!

what is man that thou remember him? And the son of man that thou succor him?

O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is thy name in all the earth!

The enemy have come to an end. They are desolate forever, and the cities which thou have overthrown. The very memory of them is perished,

The nations are sunk down in the pit that they made. In the net which they hid, their own foot is taken.

LORD has made himself known. He has executed justice. The wicked man is snared in the work of his own hands. Higgaion. Selah.

In the pride of the wicked man the poor man is hotly pursued. Let them be taken in the devices that they have conceived.

The wicked man, in the pride of his countenance, [says], He will not require [it]. All his thoughts are, There is no God.

His ways are profane at all times. Thy judgments are far above out of his sight. As for all his adversaries, he puffs at them.

His mouth is full of cursing and deceit and oppression. Under his tongue is mischief and iniquity.

He lurks in secret as a lion in his covert. He lays in wait to catch the poor man. He catches the poor man when he draws him in his net.

LORD is King forever and ever. The nations have perished out of his land.

to judge the fatherless and the oppressed, that man who is of the earth may no more be appalling.

In LORD I take refuge. How will ye say to my soul, Flee [as] a bird to your mountain.

LORD is in his holy temple. LORD's throne is in heaven. His eyes, behold, his eyelids try, the sons of men.

For LORD is righteous. He loves righteousness. The upright man shall behold his face.

who have said, With our tongue will we prevail. Our lips are our own. Who is lord over us?

The words of LORD are pure words, as silver tried in a furnace on the earth, purified seven times.

The wicked walk on every side when vileness is exalted among the sons of men.

The fool has said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt. They have done abominable works. There is none that does good.

They are all gone aside. They are together become filthy. There is none who does good, no, not one.

Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge, who eat up my people [as] they eat bread, and call not upon LORD?

There they were in great fear, for God is in the generation of the righteous.

Ye put to shame the counsel of the poor because LORD is his refuge.

in whose eyes a reprobate is despised, but who honors those who fear LORD, he that swears to his own hurt, and changes not,
