JOB 30:2  Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
JOB 30:3  For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
JOB 30:4  Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
JOB 30:5  They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
JOB 30:6  To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
JOB 30:7  Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
JOB 30:8  They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
JOB 30:9  And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
JOB 30:10  They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
JOB 30:11  Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
JOB 30:12  Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
JOB 30:13  They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
JOB 30:14  They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
JOB 30:15  Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
JOB 30:16  And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
JOB 30:17  My bones are pierced in me in the night season: and my sinews take no rest.
JOB 30:18  By the great force of my disease is my garment changed: it bindeth me about as the collar of my coat.
JOB 30:19  He hath cast me into the mire, and I am become like dust and ashes.
JOB 30:20  I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me not.
JOB 30:21  Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.
JOB 30:22  Thou liftest me up to the wind; thou causest me to ride upon it, and dissolvest my substance.
JOB 30:23  For I know that thou wilt bring me to death, and to the house appointed for all living.
JOB 30:24  Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction.
JOB 30:25  Did not I weep for him that was in trouble? was not my soul grieved for the poor?
JOB 30:26  When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.
JOB 30:27  My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction prevented me.
JOB 30:28  I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in the congregation.
JOB 30:29  I am a brother to dragons, and a companion to owls.
JOB 30:30  My skin is black upon me, and my bones are burned with heat.
JOB 30:31  My harp also is turned to mourning, and my organ into the voice of them that weep.
JOB 31:1  I made a covenant with mine eyes; why then should I think upon a maid?
JOB 31:2  For what portion of God is there from above? and what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?
JOB 31:3  Is not destruction to the wicked? and a strange punishment to the workers of iniquity?
JOB 31:4  Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?
JOB 31:5  If I have walked with vanity, or if my foot hath hasted to deceit;
JOB 31:6  Let me be weighed in an even balance that God may know mine integrity.
JOB 31:7  If my step hath turned out of the way, and mine heart walked after mine eyes, and if any blot hath cleaved to mine hands;
JOB 31:8  Then let me sow, and let another eat; yea, let my offspring be rooted out.
JOB 31:9  If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;
JOB 31:10  Then let my wife grind unto another, and let others bow down upon her.
JOB 31:11  For this is an heinous crime; yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the judges.
JOB 31:12  For it is a fire that consumeth to destruction, and would root out all mine increase.
JOB 31:13  If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;
JOB 31:14  What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
JOB 31:15  Did not he that made me in the womb make him? and did not one fashion us in the womb?
JOB 31:16  If I have withheld the poor from their desire, or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail;
JOB 31:17  Or have eaten my morsel myself alone, and the fatherless hath not eaten thereof;
JOB 31:18  (For from my youth he was brought up with me, as with a father, and I have guided her from my mother's womb;)
JOB 31:19  If I have seen any perish for want of clothing, or any poor without covering;
JOB 31:20  If his loins have not blessed me, and if he were not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
JOB 31:21  If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:
JOB 31:22  Then let mine arm fall from my shoulder blade, and mine arm be broken from the bone.
JOB 31:23  For destruction from God was a terror to me, and by reason of his highness I could not endure.
JOB 31:24  If I have made gold my hope, or have said to the fine gold, Thou art my confidence;
JOB 31:25  If I rejoiced because my wealth was great, and because mine hand had gotten much;
JOB 31:26  If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;
JOB 31:27  And my heart hath been secretly enticed, or my mouth hath kissed my hand:
JOB 31:28  This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
JOB 31:29  If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:
JOB 31:30  Neither have I suffered my mouth to sin by wishing a curse to his soul.
JOB 31:31  If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.
JOB 31:32  The stranger did not lodge in the street: but I opened my doors to the traveller.
JOB 31:33  If I covered my transgressions as Adam, by hiding mine iniquity in my bosom:
JOB 31:34  Did I fear a great multitude, or did the contempt of families terrify me, that I kept silence, and went not out of the door?
JOB 31:35  Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.
JOB 31:36  Surely I would take it upon my shoulder, and bind it as a crown to me.
JOB 31:37  I would declare unto him the number of my steps; as a prince would I go near unto him.
JOB 31:38  If my land cry against me, or that the furrows likewise thereof complain;
JOB 31:39  If I have eaten the fruits thereof without money, or have caused the owners thereof to lose their life:
JOB 31:40  Let thistles grow instead of wheat, and cockle instead of barley. The words of Job are ended.
JOB 32:1  So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
JOB 32:2  Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the kindred of Ram: against Job was his wrath kindled, because he justified himself rather than God.
JOB 32:3  Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
JOB 32:4  Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.
JOB 32:5  When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.
JOB 32:6  And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said, I am young, and ye are very old; wherefore I was afraid, and durst not show you mine opinion.
JOB 32:7  I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should teach wisdom.
JOB 32:8  But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth them understanding.
JOB 32:9  Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
JOB 32:10  Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will show mine opinion.
JOB 32:11  Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons, whilst ye searched out what to say.
JOB 32:12  Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convinced Job, or that answered his words:
JOB 32:13  Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth him down, not man.
JOB 32:14  Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.
JOB 32:15  They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off speaking.

JOB 32:16  When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)
JOB 32:17  I said, I will answer also my part, I also will show mine opinion.
JOB 32:18  For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth me.
JOB 32:19  Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready to burst like new bottles.
JOB 32:20  I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips and answer.
JOB 32:21  Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let me give flattering titles unto man.
JOB 32:22  For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my maker would soon take me away.
JOB 33:1  Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
JOB 33:2  Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
JOB 33:3  My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
JOB 33:4  The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
JOB 33:5  If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
JOB 33:6  Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
JOB 33:7  Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
JOB 33:8  Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
JOB 33:9  I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
JOB 33:10  Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
JOB 33:11  He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
JOB 33:12  Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
JOB 33:13  Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
JOB 33:14  For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
JOB 33:15  In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
JOB 33:16  Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
JOB 33:17  That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
JOB 33:18  He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
JOB 33:19  He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
JOB 33:20  So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
JOB 33:21  His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
JOB 33:22  Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
JOB 33:23  If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show unto man his uprightness:
JOB 33:24  Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
JOB 33:25  His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
JOB 33:26  He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
JOB 33:27  He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
JOB 33:28  He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
JOB 33:29  Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
JOB 33:30  To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
JOB 33:31  Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
JOB 33:32  If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
JOB 33:33  If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
JOB 34:1  Furthermore Elihu answered and said,
JOB 34:2  Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge.
JOB 34:3  For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.
JOB 34:4  Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
JOB 34:5  For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
JOB 34:6  Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without transgression.
JOB 34:7  What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?
JOB 34:8  Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men.
JOB 34:9  For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.
JOB 34:10  Therefore hearken unto me, ye men of understanding: far be it from God, that he should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he should commit iniquity.
JOB 34:11  For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways.
JOB 34:12  Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the Almighty pervert judgment.
JOB 34:13  Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
JOB 34:14  If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;
JOB 34:15  All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
JOB 34:16  If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.
JOB 34:17  Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?
JOB 34:18  Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
JOB 34:19  How much less to him that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work of his hands.
JOB 34:20  In a moment shall they die, and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand.
JOB 34:21  For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his goings.
JOB 34:22  There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
JOB 34:23  For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
JOB 34:24  He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set others in their stead.
JOB 34:25  Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed.
JOB 34:26  He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;
JOB 34:27  Because they turned back from him, and would not consider any of his ways:
JOB 34:28  So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he heareth the cry of the afflicted.
JOB 34:29  When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
JOB 34:30  That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.

JOB 34:31  Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
JOB 34:32  That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.
JOB 34:33  Should it be according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest.
JOB 34:34  Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken unto me.
JOB 34:35  Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
JOB 34:36  My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
JOB 34:37  For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against God.
JOB 35:1  Elihu spake moreover, and said,
