Will it make a covenant with you? Will you take it as a slave forever?

Will you play with it as [with] birds and put it on a leash for your girls?

Will guildsmen bargain over it? Will they divide it between tradesmen?

Place on him thy hand, Remember the battle -- do not add!

Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

[Is] it not fierce when somebody stirs it? Who [then] [is] he [who] would stand {before it}?

Who hath brought before Me and I repay? Under the whole heavens it is mine.

Who lifteth him up, and stripeth him out of his clothes, or who taketh him by the bit of his bridle?

Who dares to open his mouth, since it is ringed with his terrible teeth!

Its back [has] scales of shields; it is shut up closely [as with] a seal.

His sneezing flashes out light. His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

"Strength abides in its neck, and dismay dances {before it}.

The flakes of his flesh have adhered -- Firm upon him -- it is not moved.

Its heart is cast as stone; yes, it is cast as [the] lower millstone.

{When it raises itself}, [the] mighty ones are terrified; they retreat because of its thrashing.

The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

{An arrow} will not make it flee; sling stones are turned to stubble for it.

Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

His underparts are like'sharp potsherds: He spreadeth as it were a threshing-wain upon the mire.

It makes [the] deep boil like a cooking pot; it makes [the] sea like a pot of ointment.

Behind it, {it leaves a glistening wake}; one would think [that] the deep [has] gray hair.

"{On the ground it has no equal}-- a creature without fear.

“He looks on everything that is high [without terror];
He is monarch over all the sons of pride. [And now, Job, who are you who does not dare to disturb the beast, yet who dares resist Me, the beast’s creator? Everything under the heavens is Mine; therefore, who can have a claim against God?]”

Who is he that obscureth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

‘Hear, please, and I will speak;
I will ask You, and You instruct [and answer] me.’

Therefore do I loathe it, And I have repented on dust and ashes.

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the 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 Job hath.

{So then}, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will pray for you, for {I will certainly accept his prayer}, so that it will not be done with you [according to your] folly, for you have not spoken to me what is right as my servant Job [has]."

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.

And Jehovah hath turned to the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends, and Jehovah doth add to all that Job hath -- to double.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.

Then Job died at an old age, having lived a full life.

Instead, his delight is in the Lord’s instruction,
and he meditates on it day and night.

He will be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, which gives its fruit at the right time, whose leaves will ever be green; and he will do well in all his undertakings.

As for the ungodly, it is not so with them: but they are like the chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth.

He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

So now, you kings, do what is wise; you rulers of the earth, submit to correction!

Pay homage to the Son or He will be angry
and you will perish in your rebellion,
for His anger may ignite at any moment.
All those who take refuge in Him are happy.

I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his holy hill. Selah.

Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness; Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress: Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.

How long, exalted men, will my honor be insulted?
How long will you love what is worthless
and pursue a lie?Selah

But understand this: the LORD has set apart the godly for himself! The LORD will hear me when I cry out to him!

Be angry, yet do not sin. Think about this when upon your beds, and be silent. Interlude

You have put joy in my heart,
More than [others know] when their wheat and new wine have yielded abundantly.

In peace I will lie down and sleep {at once}, for you alone, O Yahweh, make me dwell safely.

For the music director, to be accompanied by wind instruments; a psalm of David. Listen to what I say, Lord! Carefully consider my complaint!

Jehovah, at morning Thou hearest my voice, At morning I set in array for Thee, And I look out.

But as for me, I will enter Your house through the abundance of Your steadfast love and tender mercy;
At Your holy temple I will bow [obediently] in reverence for You.

Lord, lead me in your righteousness because of those who wait to ambush me, remove the obstacles in the way in which you are guiding me!

For there is nothing reliable in what they say;
destruction is within them;
their throat is an open grave;
they flatter with their tongues.

Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels; cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have rebelled against thee.

But let all those who put their faith in you be glad with cries of joy at all times, and let all the lovers of your name be glad in you.

For you will bless the righteous. Yahweh, you will surround him with favor as with a shield. For the Chief Musician; on stringed instruments, upon the eight-stringed lyre. A Psalm by David.

To the Chief Musician, for eight-stringed instruments. A Psalm of David. O Jehovah, rebuke me not in Your anger, nor chasten me in the heat of Your fury.

And my soul is deeply distressed. But you, LORD, how long do I wait?

Turn back, O Jehovah, draw out my soul, Save me for Thy kindness' sake.

The voice of my sorrow is a weariness to me; all the night I make my bed wet with weeping; it is watered by the drops flowing from my eyes.

Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of all mine enemies.

O Lord my God, I put my faith in you; take me out of the hands of him who is cruel to me, and make me free;

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

O Lord my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions,

If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea, I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)

Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.

Rise, O Jehovah, in Thine anger, Be lifted up at the wrath of mine adversaries, And awake Thou for me: Judgment Thou hast commanded:

And a company of peoples compass Thee, And over it on high turn Thou back,

God is a righteous judge, And He is not angry at all times.

If he turn not, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready.

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

Out of the mouth of babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, [the] moon and [the] stars which you set in place--

What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

Yet You have made him a little lower than God,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

When mine enemies are turned back, they shall fall and perish at thy presence.

Thou hast rebuked the heathen, thou hast destroyed the wicked, thou hast put out their name for ever and ever.

And it is he that will judge the world with righteousness; he shall execute judgment upon the peoples with equity.

Sing praises to Yahweh, who dwells in Zion, and declare among the people what he has done.

For he sought out bloods, be remembered them: he forget not the cry of the humble.

Be gracious to me, Lord;
consider my affliction at the hands of those who hate me.
Lift me up from the gates of death,

The nations sank into the pit they made: in the net they hid, their foot was taken by it

The LORD has made himself known, executing judgment. The wicked are ensnared by what their hands have made. Interlude

Why, Jehovah, dost Thou stand at a distance? Thou dost hide in times of adversity,

Yes, the wicked man boasts because he gets what he wants; the one who robs others curses and rejects the Lord.

The wicked, in the pride of his countenance,'saith , He will not require it . All his thoughts are, There is no God.

His ways are always grievous; thy judgments are far above out of his sight: as for all his enemies, he puffeth at them.

He lies in wait near the villages. From ambushes, he murders the innocent. His eyes are secretly set against the helpless.

He lieth in wait secretly as a lion in his den: he lieth in wait to catch the poor: he doth catch the poor, when he draweth him into his net.

He hath said in his heart, God hath forgotten: he hideth his face; he will never see it.

Wherefore doth the wicked contemn God? he hath said in his heart, Thou wilt not require it.

Thou hast seen it; for thou beholdest mischief and spite, to requite it with thy hand: the poor committeth himself unto thee; thou art the helper of the fatherless.

Break thou the arm of the wicked and the evil man: seek out his wickedness till thou find none.

The LORD is King for ever and ever: the heathen are perished out of his land.

To judge the orphan and the dejected, that the man of the earth shall no more add to make afraid.

For, lo, the wicked bend their bow, they make ready their arrow upon the string, that they may privily shoot at the upright in heart.

If the foundations be destroyed, what can the righteous do?

May the Lord rain down burning coals and brimstone on the wicked! A whirlwind is what they deserve!
