It was so, when the days of their feasting had run their course, 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 renounced God in their hearts." Job did so continually.

Now it happened on the day when God's sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan also came among them.

It fell on a day when his sons and his daughters were eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house,

Again it happened on the day when the God's sons came to present themselves before Yahweh, that Satan came also among them to present himself before Yahweh.

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

When they lifted up their eyes from a distance, and didn't recognize him, they raised their voices, and wept; and they each tore his robe, and sprinkled dust on their heads toward the sky.

"Why didn't I die from the womb? Why didn't I give up the spirit when my mother bore me?

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 hidden from the scourge of the tongue, neither shall you be afraid of destruction when it comes.

Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or does the ox low over his fodder?

In the dry season, they vanish. When it is hot, they are consumed out of their place.

When I lie down, I say, 'When shall I arise, and the night be gone?' I toss and turn until the dawning of the day.

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

He removes the mountains, and they don't know it, when he overturns them in his anger.

Should your boastings make men hold their peace? When you mock, shall no man make you ashamed?

An empty-headed man becomes wise when a man is born as a wild donkey's colt.

For when a few years are come, I shall go the way of no return.

When he is about to fill his belly, God will cast the fierceness of his wrath on him. It will rain on him while he is eating.

When I remember, I am troubled. Horror takes hold of my flesh.

For what does he care for his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off?

When they cast down, you shall say, 'be lifted up.' He will save the humble person.

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth like gold.

Therefore I am terrified at his presence. When I consider, I am afraid of him.

For what is the hope of the godless, when he is cut off, when God takes away his life?

Will God hear his cry when trouble comes on him?

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

"Oh that I were as in the months of old, as in the days when God watched over me;

when his lamp shone on my head, and by his light I walked through darkness,

as I was in the ripeness of my days, when the friendship of God was in my tent,

when the Almighty was yet with me, and my children were around me,

when my steps were washed with butter, and the rock poured out streams of oil for me,

when I went forth to the city gate, when I prepared my seat in the street.

For when the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it commended me:

I smiled on them when they had no confidence. They didn't reject the light of my face.

When I looked for good, then evil came; When I waited for light, there came darkness.

"If I have despised the cause of my male servant or of my female servant, when they contended with me;

What then shall I do when God rises up? When he visits, what shall I answer him?

if I have seen the sun when it shined, or the moon moving in splendor,

"If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who 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, his wrath was kindled.

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

When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man,

How much less when you say you don't see him. The cause is before him, and you wait for him!

"But those who are godless in heart lay up anger. They don't cry for help when he binds them.

Don't desire the night, when people are cut off in their place.

After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.

You whose clothing is warm, when the earth is still by reason of 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 from the womb,

when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,

The waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen.

when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods of earth stick together?

when they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thicket?

Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?

"Do you know the time when the mountain goats give birth? Do you watch when the doe bears fawns?

Can you number the months that they fulfill? Or do you know the time when they give birth?

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

Shall any take him when he is on the watch, or pierce through his nose with a snare?

When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid. They retreat before his thrashing.

Yahweh turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends. Yahweh gave Job twice as much as he had before.
