JOB 15:2  Should a wise man utter vain knowledge, and fill his belly with the east wind?
JOB 15:3  Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?
JOB 15:4  Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God.
JOB 15:5  For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty.
JOB 15:6  Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee.
JOB 15:7  Art thou the first man that was born? or wast thou made before the hills?
JOB 15:8  Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?
JOB 15:9  What knowest thou, that we know not? what understandest thou, which is not in us?
JOB 15:10  With us are both the grayheaded and very aged men, much elder than thy father.
JOB 15:11  Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
JOB 15:12  Why doth thine heart carry thee away? and what do thy eyes wink at,
JOB 15:13  That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words go out of thy mouth?
JOB 15:14  What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?
JOB 15:15  Behold, he putteth no trust in his saints; yea, the heavens are not clean in his sight.
JOB 15:16  How much more abominable and filthy is man, which drinketh iniquity like water?
JOB 15:17  I will show thee, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;
JOB 15:18  Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:
JOB 15:19  Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.
JOB 15:20  The wicked man travaileth with pain all his days, and the number of years is hidden to the oppressor.
JOB 15:21  A dreadful sound is in his ears: in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him.
JOB 15:22  He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword.
JOB 15:23  He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand.
JOB 15:24  Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall prevail against him, as a king ready to the battle.
JOB 15:25  For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty.
JOB 15:26  He runneth upon him, even on his neck, upon the thick bosses of his bucklers:
JOB 15:27  Because he covereth his face with his fatness, and maketh collops of fat on his flanks.
JOB 15:28  And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heaps.
JOB 15:29  He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth.
JOB 15:30  He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away.
JOB 15:31  Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity: for vanity shall be his recompense.
JOB 15:32  It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be green.
JOB 15:33  He shall shake off his unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive.
JOB 15:34  For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery.
JOB 15:35  They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
JOB 16:1  Then Job answered and said,
JOB 16:2  I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
JOB 16:3  Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
JOB 16:4  I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
JOB 16:5  But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
JOB 16:6  Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
JOB 16:7  But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
JOB 16:8  And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
JOB 16:9  He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
JOB 16:10  They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
JOB 16:11  God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
JOB 16:12  I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
JOB 16:13  His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
JOB 16:14  He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
JOB 16:15  I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
JOB 16:16  My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
JOB 16:17  Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
JOB 16:18  O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
JOB 16:19  Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
JOB 16:20  My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
JOB 16:21  O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
JOB 16:22  When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
JOB 17:1  My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me.
JOB 17:2  Are there not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?
JOB 17:3  Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
JOB 17:4  For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
JOB 17:5  He that speaketh flattery to his friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail.
JOB 17:6  He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.
JOB 17:7  Mine eye also is dim by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
JOB 17:8  Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
JOB 17:9  The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
JOB 17:10  But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.
JOB 17:11  My days are past, my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart.
JOB 17:12  They change the night into day: the light is short because of darkness.
JOB 17:13  If I wait, the grave is mine house: I have made my bed in the darkness.
JOB 17:14  I have said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worm, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
JOB 17:15  And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
JOB 17:16  They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.
JOB 18:1  Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
JOB 18:2  How long will it be ere ye make an end of words? mark, and afterwards we will speak.
JOB 18:3  Wherefore are we counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
JOB 18:4  He teareth himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rock be removed out of his place?
JOB 18:5  Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.
JOB 18:6  The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.
JOB 18:7  The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his own counsel shall cast him down.
JOB 18:8  For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.
JOB 18:9  The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.
JOB 18:10  The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
JOB 18:11  Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall drive him to his feet.
JOB 18:12  His strength shall be hungerbitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
JOB 18:13  It shall devour the strength of his skin: even the firstborn of death shall devour his strength.
JOB 18:14  His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrors.
JOB 18:15  It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.
JOB 18:16  His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his branch be cut off.
JOB 18:17  His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street.
JOB 18:18  He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased out of the world.
JOB 18:19  He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
JOB 18:20  They that come after him shall be astonied at his day, as they that went before were affrighted.
JOB 18:21  Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.
JOB 19:1  Then Job answered and said,
JOB 19:2  How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
JOB 19:3  These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.
JOB 19:4  And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
JOB 19:5  If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:
JOB 19:6  Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.
JOB 19:7  Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
JOB 19:8  He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
JOB 19:9  He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
JOB 19:10  He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.
JOB 19:11  He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.
JOB 19:12  His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.
JOB 19:13  He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.
JOB 19:14  My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.
JOB 19:15  They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.
JOB 19:16  I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I entreated him with my mouth.
JOB 19:17  My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the children's sake of mine own body.
JOB 19:18  Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
JOB 19:19  All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.
JOB 19:20  My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
JOB 19:21  Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
JOB 19:22  Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
JOB 19:23  Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!
JOB 19:24  That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!
JOB 19:25  For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:
JOB 19:26  And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
JOB 19:27  Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.
JOB 19:28  But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?
JOB 19:29  Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
