Job
Chapter 15
Viewing the original 1611 KJV
1 Then answered Eliphaz the Temanite, and said,
2 Should a wise man vtter vaine knowledge, and fill his belly with the East winde?
3 Should hee reason with vnprofitable talke? or with speeches wherewith he can doe no good?
4 Yea thou castest off feare, and restrainest prayer before God.
5 For thy mouth vttereth thine iniquitie, and thou choosest the tongue of the craftie.
6 Thine owne mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea thine owne lippes testifie against thee.
7 Art thou the first man that was borne? or wast thou made before the hilles?
8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and doest thou restraine wisedome to thy selfe?
9 What knowest thou that we know not? what vnderstandest thou, which is not in vs?
10 With vs are both the gray headed, and very aged men, much elder then thy father.
11 Are the consolations of God small with thee? is there any secret thing with thee?
12 Why doeth thine heart carie thee away? and what doe thine eyes winke at,
13 That thou turnest thy spirit against God, and lettest such words goe out of thy mouth?
14 What is man, that he should be cleane? and he which is borne of a woman, that he should be righteous?
15 Beholde, he putteth no trust in his Saints, yea, the heauens are not cleane in his sight.
16 How much more abominable and filthie is man, which drinketh iniquitie like water?
17 I will shew thee, heare me, and that which I haue seene, I wil declare,
18 Which wise men haue tolde from their fathers, and haue not hid it:
19 Unto whom alone the earth was giuen, and no stranger passed among them.
20 The wicked man trauaileth with paine all his dayes, and the number of yeeres is hidden to the oppressour.
21 A dreadfull sound is in his eares; in prosperitie the destroyer shall come vpon him.
22 He beleeueth not that he shall returne out of darkenesse, and he is waited for, of the sword.
23 He wandereth abroad for bread, saying, Where is it? he knoweth that the day of darkenes is ready at his hand.
24 Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid; they shall preuaile against him, as a king ready to the battell.
25 For he stretcheth out his hand against God, and strengtheneth himselfe against the Almightie.
26 He runneth vpon him, euen on his necke, vpon the thicke bosses of his bucklers:
27 Because he couereth his face with his fatnesse, and maketh collops of fat on his flankes.
28 And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth, which are ready to become heapes.
29 He shall not be rich, neither shall his substance continue, neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof vpon the earth.
30 He shall not depart out of darkenesse, the flame shall drie vp his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he goe away.
31 Let not him that is deceiued, trust in vanitie: for vanitie shalbe his recompence.
32 It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not bee greene.
33 He shal shake off his vnripe grape as the Uine, and shall cast off his flowre as the Oliue.
34 For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of briberie.
35 They conceiue mischiefe, and bring forth vanitie, and their belly prepareth deceit. |

Job
Chapter 16
Viewing the original 1611 KJV
1 Then Iob answered, and said,
2 I haue heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
3 Shall vaine words haue an ende? or what emboldeneth thee, that thou answerest?
4 I also could speake as yee doe: if your soule were in my soules stead, I could heape vp words against you, and shake mine head at you.
5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the mouing of my lips should asswage your griefe.
6 Though I speake, my griefe is not asswaged: and though I forbeare; what am I eased?
7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate al my companie.
8 And thou hast filled mee with wrinckles, which is a witnesse against me: and my leannesse rising vp in me, beareth witnesse to my face.
9 He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth vpon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes vpon me.
10 They haue gaped vpon me with their mouth, they haue smitten me vpon the cheeke reprochfully, they haue gathered themselues together against mee.
11 God hath deliuered me to the vngodly, and turned me ouer into the hands of the wicked.
12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my necke, and shaken me to pieces, and set me vp for his marke.
13 His archers compasse me round about, he cleaueth my reines asunder, and doeth not spare; he powreth out my gall vpon the ground.
14 He breaketh me with breach vpon breach, he runneth vpon me like a giant.
15 I haue sowed sackcloth vpon my skin, and defiled my horne in the dust.
16 My face is fowle with weeping, and on mine eye-lids is the shadow of death;
17 Not for any iniustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
18 O earth couer not thou my blood, and let my cry haue no place.
19 Also now, behold my witnesse is in heauen, and my record is on high.
20 My friends scorne me: but mine eye powreth out teares vnto God.
21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour.
22 When a few yeeres are come, then I shall goe the way whence I shall not returne. |

Chapter 17
Viewing the original 1611 KJV
1 My breath is corrupt, my dayes are extinct, the graues are ready for me.
2 Are there not mockers with mee? and doeth not mine eye continue in their prouocation?
3 Lay downe now, put me in a suretie with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?
4 For thou hast hid their heart from vnderstanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt them.
5 Hee that speaketh flattery to his friends, euen the eyes of his children shall faile.
6 He hath made me also a by-word of the people, and afore time I was as a tabret.
7 Mine eye also is dimme by reason of sorrow, and all my members are as a shadow.
8 Upright men shall be astonied at this, and the innocent shall stirre vp himselfe against the hypocrite.
9 The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that hath cleane hands shalbe stronger, and stronger.
10 But as for you all, doe you returne, and come now, for I cannot find one wise man among you.
11 My dayes are past, my purposes are broken off, euen the thoughts of my heart:
12 They change the night into day: the light is short, because of darknes.
13 If I waite, the graue is mine house: I haue made my bedde in the darknesse.
14 I haue said to corruption, Thou art my father: to the worme, Thou art my mother, and my sister.
15 And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?
16 They shall goe downe to the barres of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust. |

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite and said,
2 How long will it bee, ere you make an ende of words? Marke, and afterwards we will speake.
3 Wherefore are wee counted as beasts, and reputed vile in your sight?
4 He teareth himselfe in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken for thee? and shall the rocke bee remooued out of his place?
5 Yea, the light of the wicked shalbe put out, and the sparke of his fire shall not shine.
6 The light shalbe darke in his tabernacle, and his candle shalbe put out with him.
7 The steps of his strength shall be straitened, and his owne counsell shall cast him downe.
8 For hee is cast into a net by his owne feete, & he walketh vpon a snare.
9 The grinne shall take him by the heele, and the robber shall preuaile against him.
10 The snare is laide for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.
11 Terrours shall make him afraid on euery side, and shall driue him to his feete.
12 His strength shalbe hunger-bitten, and destruction shall be ready at his side.
13 It shall deuoure the strength of his skinne: euen the first borne of death shall deuoure his strength.
14 His confidence shalbe rooted out of his tabernacle, and it shall bring him to the king of terrours.
15 It shall dwell in his tabernacle, because it is none of his: brimstone shall be scattered vpon his habitation.
16 His rootes shall be dryed vp beneath: and aboue shall his branch be cut off.
17 His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and hee shall haue no name in the streete.
18 He shall be driuen from light into darkenesse, and chased out of the world.
19 Hee shall neither haue sonne nor nephew among his people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 They that come after him shalbe astonied at his day, as they that went before, were affrighted.
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God. |

Chapter 19

1 Then Iob answered, and sayd,
2 How long will yee vexe my soule, and breake me in pieces with words?
3 These tenne times haue ye reproched me: you are not ashamed that you make your selues strange to me.
4 And be it indeed that I haue erred, mine errour remaineth with my selfe.
5 If indeed yee will magnifie your selues against me, and plead against me my reproch:
6 Know now that God hath ouerthrowen me, and hath compassed me with his net.
7 Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloude, but there is no iudgement.
8 Hee hath fenced vp my way that I cannot passe; and hee hath set darkenesse in my pathes.
9 Hee hath stript me of my glory, and taken the crowne from my head.
10 He hath destroyed me on euery side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he remooued like a tree.
11 He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and hee counteth me vnto him as one of his enemies.
12 His troupes come together, and raise vp their way against me, and encampe round about my tabernacle.
13 Hee hath put my brethren farre from me, and mine acquaintance are verely estranged from me.
14 My kinsefolke haue failed, and my familiar friends haue forgotten me.
15 They that dwell in mine house, and my maides count me for a stranger: I am an aliant in their sight.
16 I called my seruant, and he gaue me no answere: I intreated him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I entreated for the childrens sake of mine owne body.
18 Yea, yong children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.
19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loued, are turned against me.
20 My bone cleaueth to my skinne, and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skinne of my teeth.
21 Haue pity vpon me, haue pitie vpon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.
22 Why doe ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
23 Oh that my wordes were now written, oh that they were printed in a booke!
24 That they were grauen with an iron pen and lead, in the rocke for euer.
25 For I know that my Redeemer liueth, and that he shall stand at the latter day, vpon the earth:
26 And though after my skin, wormes destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:
27 Whom I shal see for my selfe, and mine eyes shall beholde, and not another, though my reines bee consumed within me.
28 But ye should say, Why persecute we him? seeing the root of the matter is found in me.
29 Bee ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that yee may know there is a iudgement. |

Chapter 20
Viewing the original 1611 KJV
1 Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and saide,
2 Therefore doe my thoughts cause mee to answere, and for this I make haste.
3 I haue heard the checke of my reproach, and the spirit of my vnderstanding causeth me to answere.
4 Knowest thou not this of old, since man was placed vpon earth,
5 That the triumphing of the wicked is short, and the ioy of the hypocrite but for a moment?
6 Though his excellencie mount vp to the heauens, and his head reach vnto the clouds:
7 Yet he shall perish for euer, like his owne doung: they which haue seene him, shall say, Where is he?
8 He shall flie away as a dreame, and shall not be found: yea he shalbe chased away as a vision of the night.
9 The eye also which saw him, shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.
10 His children shall seeke to please the poore, and his hands shall restore their goods.
11 His bones are ful of the sinne of his youth, which shall ye downe with him in the dust.
12 Though wickednes be sweet in his mouth, though hee hide it vnder his tongue;
13 Though he spare it, and forsake it not, but keepe it stil within his mouth:
14 Yet his meate in his bowels is turned, it is the gall of Aspes within him.
15 He hath swallowed downe riches, and hee shall vomite them vp againe: God shall cast them out of his belly.
16 He shall sucke the poison of Aspes: the vipers tongue shall slay him.
17 Hee shall not see the riuers, the floods, the brookes of hony and butter.
18 That which he laboured for, shall he restore, & shall not swallow it downe: according to his substance shall the restitution bee, and hee shall not reioyce therein.
19 Because hee hath oppressed, and hath forsaken the poore; because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not:
20 Surely he shall not feele quietnesse in his belly, hee shall not saue of that which he desired.
21 There shall none of his meat be left, therefore shall no man looke for his goods.
22 In the fulnesse of his sufficiencie, he shalbe in straites: euery hand of the wicked shall come vpon him.
23 When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the furie of his wrath vpon him, and shall raine it vpon him while he is eating.
24 He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steele shall strike him through.
25 It is drawen, and commeth out of the body; yea the glistering sword commeth out of his gall; terrours are vpon him.
26 All darknesse shalbe hid in his secret places: a fire not blowen shall consume him; it shall goe ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
27 The heauen shall reueale his iniquitie: and the earth shall rise vp against him.
28 The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
29 This is the portion of a wicked man from God, and the heritage appointed vnto him by God. |

1 But Iob answered, and sayd,
2 Heare diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
3 Suffer me that I may speake, and after that I haue spoken, mocke on.
4 As for mee, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
5 Marke mee, and be astonished, and lay your hand vpon your mouth.
6 Euen when I remember, I am afraid, and trembling taketh holde on my flesh.
7 Wherefore doe the wicked liue, become old, yea, are mightie in power?
8 Their seede is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
9 Their houses are safe from feare, neither is the rod of God vpon them.
10 Their bull gendreth and faileth not, their cow calueth, and casteth not her calfe.
11 They send foorth their little ones like a flocke, and their children dance.
12 They take the timbrell and harpe, and reioyce at the sound of the organe.
13 They spend their daies in wealth, and in a moment goe downe to the graue.
14 Therefore they say vnto God, Depart from vs: for we desire not the knowledge of thy wayes.
15 What is the Almightie, that wee should serue him? and what profite should we haue, if we pray vnto him?
16 Loe, their good is not in their hand, the counsell of the wicked is farre from me.
17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out? and how oft commeth their destruction vpon them? God distributeth sorrowes in his anger.
18 They are as stubble before the winde, and as chaffe that the storme carieth away.
19 God layeth vp his iniquitie for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drinke of the wrath of the Almightie.
21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his moneths is cut off in the middest?
22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he iudgeth those that are high.
23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
24 His breasts are full of milke, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
25 And another dieth in the bitternesse of his soule, and neuer eateth with pleasure.
26 They shall lie downe alike in the dust, and the wormes shall couer them.
27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the deuices which yee wrongfully imagine against me.
28 For ye say, where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
29 Haue ye not asked them that goe by the way? and doe ye not know their tokens?
30 That the wicked is reserued to the day of destruction; they shall bee brought foorth to the day of wrath.
31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
32 Yet shall hee be brought to the graue, & shall remaine in the tombe.
33 The cloudes of the valley shalbe sweete vnto him, and euery man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
34 How then comfort ye me in vaine, seeing in your answeres there remaineth falshood? |

1 Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,
2 Can a man be profitable vnto God? as hee that is wise may be profitable vnto himselfe.
3 Is it any pleasure to the Almighty, that thou art righteous? or is it gaine to him, that thou makest thy waies perfite?
4 Will hee reproue thee for feare of thee? will he enter with thee into iudgment?
5 Is not thy wickednesse great? and thine iniquities infinite?
6 For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.
7 Thou hast not giuen water to the wearie to drinke, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.
8 But as for the mightie man, hee had the earth, and the honourable man dwelt in it.
9 Thou hast sent widowes away emptie, and the armes of the fatherlesse haue bene broken.
10 Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden feare troubleth thee,
11 Or darkenes that thou canst not see, and abundance of waters couer thee.
12 Is not God in the height of heauen? and behold the height of the starres how high they are.
13 And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he iudge through the darke cloude?
14 Thicke cloudes are a couering to him that he seeth not, and hee walketh in the circuit of heauen.
15 Hast thou marked the olde way which wicked men haue troden?
16 Which were cut downe out of time, whose foundation was ouerflowen with a flood.
17 Which said vnto God, Depart from vs, and what can the Almightie doe for them?
18 Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsell of the wicked is farre from me.
19 The righteous see it, and are glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorne.
20 Whereas our substance is not cut downe, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.
21 Acquaint now thy selfe with him, and be at peace: thereby good shal come vnto thee.
22 Receiue, I pray thee, the Lawe from his mouth, and lay vp his words in thine heart.
23 If thou returne to the Almightie, thou shalt be built vp, thou shalt put away iniquitie farre from thy tabernacles.
24 Then shalt thou lay vp golde as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brookes.
25 Yea the Almightie shall bee thy defence, and thou shalt haue plenty of siluer.
26 For then shalt thou haue thy delight in the Almightie, and shalt lift vp thy face vnto God.
27 Thou shalt make thy prayer vnto him, and he shall heare thee, and thou shalt pay thy vowes.
28 Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shal be established vnto thee: and the light shall shine vpon thy wayes.
29 When men are cast downe, then thou shalt say, There is lifting vp: and he shall saue the humble person.
30 He shall deliuer the Iland of the innocent: and it is deliuered by the purenesse of thine hands. |

1 Then Iob answered, and said,
2 Euen to day is my complaint bitter: my stroke is heauier then my groning.
3 O that I knewe where I might find him! that I might come euen to his seate!
4 I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
5 I would know the words which he would answere me, and vnderstand what he would say vnto me.
6 Will he plead against me with his great power? No, but hee would put strength in me.
7 There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be deliuered for euer from my Iudge.
8 Behold, I goe forward, but he is not there, and backward, but I cannot perceiue him:
9 On the left hand where hee doeth worke, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himselfe on the right hand, that I cannot see him.
10 But he knoweth the way that I take: when he hath tried me, I shall come forth as gold.
11 My foot hath held his steps, his way haue I kept, and not declined.
12 Neither haue I gone backe from the commaundement of his lippes, I haue esteemed the words of his mouth more then my necessary food.
13 But hee is in one minde, and who can turne him? and what his soule desireth, euen that he doeth.
14 For he performeth the thing that is appointed for mee: and many such things are with him.
15 Therefore am I troubled at his presence: when I consider, I am afraid of him.
16 For God maketh my heart soft, and the Almighty troubleth me:
17 Because I was not cut off before the darknes, neither hath he couered the darknes from my face. |

Chapter 24
Viewing the original 1611 KJV
1 Why, seeing Times are not hidden from the Almightie, doe they, that know him not, see his dayes?
2 Some remooue the land-markes; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.
3 They driue away the asse of the fatherlesse, they take the widowes oxe for a pledge.
4 They turne the needy out of the way: the poore of the earth hide themselues together.
5 Behold, as wilde asses in the desart, goe they foorth to their worke, rising betimes for a pray: the wildernes yeeldeth food for them, and for their children.
6 They reape euery one his corne in the fielde: and they gather the vintage of the wicked.
7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they haue no couering in the cold.
8 They are wet with the showres of the mountaines, and imbrace the rocke for want of a shelter.
9 They plucke the fatherlesse from the brest, and take a pledge of the poore.
10 They cause him to go naked without clothing: and they take away the sheafe from the hungry,
11 Which make oyle within their walles, and tread their winepresses, and suffer thirst.
12 Men groane from out of the city, and the soule of the wounded crieth out: yet God layeth not folly to them.
13 They are of those that rebell against the light, they know not the wayes thereof, nor abide in the pathes thereof.
14 The murderer rising with the light, killeth the poore and needy, and in the night is as a thiefe.
15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.
16 In the darke they digge through houses which they had marked for themselues in the day time: they know not the light.
17 For the morning is to them euen as the shadow of death: if one know them, they are in the terrours of the shadow of death.
18 Hee is swift as the waters, their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the Uineyards.
19 Drought and heate consume the snow waters: so doeth the graue those which haue sinned.
20 The wombe shall forget him, the worme shall feed sweetly on him, hee shall be no more remembred, and wickednes shalbe broken as a tree.
21 He euill intreateth the barren, that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.
22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth vp, and no man is sure of life.
23 Though it be giuen him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are vpon their wayes.
24 They are exalted for a litle while, but are gone and brought low, they are taken out of the way as al other, and cut off as the tops of the eares of corne.
25 And if it be not so now, who will make mee a liar, and make my speach nothing worth? |

2 Howe hast thou helped him that is without power? how sauest thou the arme that hath no strength?
3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisedome? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing, as it is?
4 To whom hast thou vttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?
5 Dead things are formed from vnder the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.
6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no couering.
7 He stretcheth out the North ouer the emptie place, and hangeth the earth vpon nothing.
8 Hee bindeth vp the waters in his thicke clouds, and the cloud is not rent vnder them.
9 Hee holdeth backe the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud vpon it.
10 Hee hath compassed the waters with bounds, vntill the day and night come to an end.
11 The pillars of heauen tremble, and are astonished at his reproofe.
12 Hee diuideth the sea with his power, and by his vnderstanding he smiteth through the proud.
13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heauens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.
14 Loe, these are parts of his waies, but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can vnderstand? |

Job
Chapter 27
Viewing the original 1611 KJV
1 Moreouer Iob continued his parable, and sayd,
2 As God liueth, who hath taken away my iudgment, and the Almighty, who hath vexed my soule;
3 All the while my breath is in mee, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;
4 My lips shall not speake wickednesse, nor my tongue vtter deceit.
5 God forbid that I should iustifie you: till I die, I will not remoue my integritie from me.
6 My righteousnesse I hold fast, and will not let it goe: my heart shall not reproach me so long as I liue.
7 Let mine enemie be as the wicked, and he that riseth vp against me, as the vnrighteous.
8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soule?
9 Will God heare his cry, when trouble commeth vpon him?
10 Will he delight himselfe in the Almightie? will hee alwayes call vpon God?
11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almightie, will I not conceale.
12 Behold, all ye your selues haue seene it, why then are yee thus altogether vaine?
13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressours which they shall receiue of the Almightie.
14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offpring shall not be satisfied with bread.
15 Those that remaine of him shall bee buried in death: and his widowes shall not weepe.
16 Though he heape vp siluer as the dust, and prepare rayment as the clay:
17 He may prepare it, but the iust shall put it on, and the innocent shall diuide the siluer.
18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
19 The rich man shall lie downe, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not:
20 Terrours take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
21 The East winde carieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storme hurleth him out of his place.
22 For God shall cast vpon him, and not spare: hee would faine flee out of his hand.
23 Men shall clap their handes at him, and shall hisse him out of his place. |

Job
Chapter 28
Viewing the original 1611 KJV
1 Surely there is a veine for the siluer, and a place for golde where they fine it.
2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brasse is molten out of the stone.
3 Hee setteth an ende to darkenesse, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkenesse and the shadow of death.
4 The floud breaketh out from the inhabitant; euen the waters forgotten of the foote: they are dried vp, they are gone away from men.
5 As for the earth, out of it commeth bread: and vnder it, is turned vp as it were fire.
6 The stones of it are the place of Saphires: and it hath dust of golde.
7 There is a path which no foule knoweth, and which the vulturs eye hath not seene.
8 The lyons whelps haue not troden it, nor the fierce lyon passed by it.
9 Hee putteth foorth his hand vpon the rocke; hee ouerturneth the mountaines by the rootes.
10 Hee cutteth out riuers among the rockes, and his eye seeth euery precious thing.
11 He bindeth the flouds from ouerflowing, and the thing that is hid, bringeth he foorth to light.
12 But where shall wisedome bee found? and where is the place of vnderstanding?
13 Man knoweth not the price thereof neither is it found in the land of the liuing.
14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
15 It cannot be gotten for golde, neither shall siluer be weighed for the price thereof.
16 It cannot be valued with the golde of Ophir, with the precious Onix, or the Saphire.
17 The golde and the chrystall cannot equall it: and the exchange of it shall not be for iewels of fine golde.
18 No mention shalbe made of Corall, or of Pearles: for the price of wisedome is aboue Rubies.
19 The Topaze of Ethiopia shall not equall it, neither shall it be valued with pure golde.
20 Whence then commeth wisedome? and where is the place of vnderstanding?
21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all liuing, and kept close from the foules of the ayre.
22 Destruction and death say, Wee haue heard the fame thereof with our eares.
23 God vnderstandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
24 For hee looketh to the endes of the earth, and seeth vnder the whole heauen:
25 To make the weight for the windes, and he weigheth the waters by measure.
26 When hee made a decree for the raine, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
27 Then did he see it, and declare it, he prepared it, yea and searched it out.
28 And vnto man he said, Behold, the feare of the Lord, that is wisedome, and to depart from euill, is vnderstanding. |

Job
Chapter 29
Viewing the original 1611 KJV
1 Moreouer Iob continued his parable, and said,
2 O that I were as in moneths past, as in the dayes when God preserued me.
3 When his candle shined vpon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkenesse:
4 As I was in the dayes of my youth, when the secret of God was vpon my tabernacle:
5 When the Almightie was yet with me, when my children were about me:
6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rocke powred me out riuers of oyle:
7 When I went out to the gate, through the citie, when I prepared my seate in the street.
8 The yong men saw me, and hid themselues: and the aged arose, and stood vp.
9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
10 The Nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaued to the roofe of their mouth.
11 When the eare heard mee, then it blessed me, and when the eye saw me, it gaue witnesse to me:
12 Because I deliuered the poore that cried, and the fatherlesse, and him that had none to helpe him.
13 The blessing of him that was readie to perish, came vpon me: and I caused the widowes heart to sing for ioy.
14 I put on righteousnesse, and it clothed me: my iudgement was as a robe and a diademe.
15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
16 I was a father to the poore: and the cause which I knewe not, I searched out.
17 And I brake the iawes of the wicked, and pluckt the spoile out of his teeth.
18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiplie my dayes as the sand.
19 My roote was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night vpon my branch.
20 My glory was fresh in mee, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
21 Unto me men gaue eare, and waited, and kept silence at my counsell.
22 After my words they spake not againe, & my speach dropped vpon them,
23 And they waited for me as for the raine, and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter raine.
24 If I laughed on them, they beleeued it not, and the light of my countenance they cast not downe.
25 I chose out their way, and sate chiefe, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners. |
