Job, Chapter 3

1 Job’s Lament
1 Afterward Job opened his mouth and curseda Lit his daythe day of his birth. 2 And Jobb Lit answered and saidsaid,
3 
“Let the day perish on which I was to be born,
And the night which said, ‘Ac Lit man-childboy is conceived.’
4 
“May that day be darkness;
Let not God above care for it,
Nor light shine on it.
5 
“Let darkness and black gloom claim it;
Let a cloud settle on it;
Let the blackness of the day terrify it.
6 
“As for that night, let darkness seize it;
Let it not rejoice among the days of the year;
Let it not come into the number of the months.
7 
“Behold, let that night be barren;
Let no joyful shout enter it.
8 
“Let those curse it who curse the day,
Who ared Or skillfulprepared to rouse Leviathan.
9 
“Let the stars of its twilight be darkened;
Let it wait for light but have none,
And let it not see thee Lit eyelidsbreaking dawn;
10 
Because it did not shut the opening of my mother’s womb,
Or hide trouble from my eyes.
11 
“Why did I not dief Lit from the wombat birth,
Come forth from the womb and expire?
12 
“Why did the knees receive me,
And why the breasts, that I should suck?
13 
“For now I would have lain down and been quiet;
I would have slept then, I would have been at rest,
14 
With kings and with counselors of the earth,
Who rebuilt ruins for themselves;
15 
Or with princes who had gold,
Who were filling their houses with silver.
16 
“Or like a miscarriage which isg Lit hiddendiscarded, I would not be,
As infants that never saw light.
17 
“There the wicked cease from raging,
And there theh Lit weary of strengthweary are at rest.
18 
“The prisoners are at ease together;
They do not hear the voice of the taskmaster.
19 
“The small and the great are there,
And the slave is free from his master.
20 
“Why is light given to him who suffers,
And life to the bitter of soul,
21 
Whoi Lit waitlong for death, but there is none,
And dig for it more than for hidden treasures,
22 
Who rejoice greatly,
And exult when they find the grave?
23 
“Why is light given to a man whose way is hidden,
And whom God has hedged in?
24 
“For my groaning comes at the sight of my food,
And my cries pour out like water.
25 
“Forj Lit the fear I fear andwhat I fear comes upon me,
And what I dread befalls me.
26 
“I am not at ease, nor am I quiet,
And I am not at rest, but turmoil comes.”

Job, Chapter 4

1 Eliphaz: Innocent Do Not Suffer
1 Then Eliphaz the Temanitea Lit answered and saidanswered,
2 
“If one ventures a word with you, will you become impatient?
But who can refrainb Lit in wordsfrom speaking?
3 
“Behold you have admonished many,
And you have strengthened weak hands.
4 
“Your words havec Lit causedhelped the tottering to stand,
And you have strengthenedd Lit bowingfeeble knees.
5 
“But now it has come to you, and you are impatient;
It touches you, and you are dismayed.
6 
“Is not youre Or reverencefear of God your confidence,
And the integrity of your ways your hope?
7 
“Remember now, who ever perished being innocent?
Or where were the upright destroyed?
8 
“According to what I have seen, those who plow iniquity
And those who sow trouble harvest it.
9 
“By the breath of God they perish,
And by thef Lit windblast of His anger they come to an end.
10 
“The roaring of the lion and the voice of the fierce lion,
And the teeth of the young lions are broken.
11 
“The lion perishes for lack of prey,
And the whelps of the lioness are scattered.
12 
“Now a word was brought to me stealthily,
And my ear received a whisper of it.
13 
“Amid disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night,
When deep sleep falls on men,
14 
Dread came upon me, and trembling,
And madeg Lit the multitude ofall my bones shake.
15 
“Then ah Or breath passed overspirit passed by my face;
The hair of my flesh bristled up.
16 
“It stood still, but I could not discern its appearance;
A form was before my eyes;
There was silence, then I heard a voice:
17 
‘Can mankind be justi Lit frombefore God?
Can a man be purej Lit frombefore his Maker?
18 
‘He puts no trust even in His servants;
And against His angels He charges error.
19 
‘How much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
Whose foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed before the moth!
20 
‘Between morning and evening they are broken in pieces;
Unobserved, they perish forever.
21 
‘Is not their tent-cord plucked up within them?
They die, yet without wisdom.’

Job, Chapter 5

1 God Is Just
1 
“Call now, is there anyone who will answer you?
And to which of the holy ones will you turn?
2 
“For anger slays the foolish man,
And jealousy kills the simple.
3 
“I have seen the foolish taking root,
And I cursed his abode immediately.
4 
“His sons are far from safety,
They are evena Lit crushedoppressed in the gate,
And there is no deliverer.
5 
“b Lit WhoseHis harvest the hungry devour
And take it to a place of thorns,
And thec Ancient versions read thirstyschemer is eager for their wealth.
6 
“For affliction does not come from the dust,
Nor does trouble sprout from the ground,
7 
For man is born for trouble,
As sparks fly upward.
8 
“But as for me, I would seek God,
And I would place my cause before God;
9 
Who does great and unsearchable things,
d Or MiraclesWonders without number.
10 
“He gives rain on the earth
And sends water on the fields,
11 
So that He sets on high those who are lowly,
And those who mourn are lifted to safety.
12 
“He frustrates the plotting of the shrewd,
So that their hands cannot attain success.
13 
“He captures the wise by their own shrewdness,
And the advice of the cunning is quickly thwarted.
14 
“By day they meet with darkness,
And grope at noon as in the night.
15 
“But He saves from the sword of their mouth,
And the poor from the hand of the mighty.
16 
“So the helpless has hope,
And unrighteousness must shut its mouth.
17 
“Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves,
So do not despise the discipline ofe Heb Shaddai, and so throughout ch 6the Almighty.
18 
“For He inflicts pain, andf Lit bindsgives relief;
He wounds, and His hands also heal.
19 
“g Lit InFrom six troubles He will deliver you,
Even in seven evil will not touch you.
20 
“In famine He will redeem you from death,
And in war from the power of the sword.
21 
“You will be hidden from the scourge of the tongue,
And you will not be afraid of violence when it comes.
22 
“You will laugh at violence and famine,
And you will not be afraid ofh Lit beasts of the earthwild beasts.
23 
“For you will be in league with the stones of the field,
And the beasts of the field will be at peace with you.
24 
“You will know that your tent is secure,
For you will visit your abode and fear no loss.
25 
“You will know also that youri Lit seeddescendants will be many,
And your offspring as the grass of the earth.
26 
“You will come to the grave in full vigor,
Like the stacking of grain in its season.
27 
“Behold this; we have investigated it, and so it is.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”

Job, Chapter 6

1 Job’s Friends Are No Help
1 Then Joba Lit answered and saidanswered,
2 
“Oh that my grief were actually weighed
And laid in the balances together with my calamity!
3 
“For then it would be heavier than the sand of the seas;
Therefore my words have been rash.
4 
“For the arrows of the Almighty are within me,
b Lit WhoseTheir poison my spirit drinks;
The terrors of God are arrayed against me.
5 
“Does the wild donkey bray over his grass,
Or does the ox low over his fodder?
6 
“Can something tasteless be eaten without salt,
Or is there any taste in thec Heb hallamuth, meaning uncertain. Perhaps the juice of a plantwhite of an egg?
7 
“My soul refuses to touch them;
They are like loathsome food to me.
8 
“Oh that my request might come to pass,
And that God would grant my longing!
9 
“Would that God were willing to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and cut me off!
10 
“But it is still my consolation,
And I rejoice in unsparing pain,
That I have notd Lit hiddendenied the words of the Holy One.
11 
“What is my strength, that I should wait?
And what is my end, that I shoulde Lit prolong my soulendure?
12 
“Is my strength the strength of stones,
Or is my flesh bronze?
13 
“Is it that my help is not within me,
And thatf So ancient versionsdeliverance is driven from me?
14 
“For the despairing man there should be kindness from his friend;
So that he does not forsake theg Or reverencefear of the Almighty.
15 
“My brothers have acted deceitfully like ah Or brookswadi,
Like the torrents ofi Or brookswadis which vanish,
16 
Which are turbid because of ice
And into which the snowj Lit hides itselfmelts.
17 
“When they become waterless, theyk Or ceaseare silent,
When it is hot, they vanish from their place.
18 
“Thel Or caravans turn from their course, they go up into the waste and perishpaths of their course wind along,
They go up into nothing and perish.
19 
“The caravans of Tema looked,
The travelers of Sheba hoped for them.
20 
“They werem Lit ashameddisappointed for they had trusted,
They came there and were confounded.
21 
“Indeed, you have now become such,
You see a terror and are afraid.
22 
“Have I said, ‘Give me something,’
Or, ‘Offer a bribe for me from your wealth,’
23 
Or, ‘Deliver me from the hand of the adversary,’
Or, ‘Redeem me from the hand of the tyrants’?
24 
“Teach me, and I will be silent;
And show me how I have erred.
25 
“How painful are honest words!
But what does your argument prove?
26 
“Do you intend to reprove my words,
When the words of one in despair belong to the wind?
27 
“You would even cast lots for the orphans
And barter over your friend.
28 
“Now please look at me,
And see if I lie to your face.
29 
“Desist now, let there be no injustice;
Even desist, my righteousness is yet in it.
30 
“Is there injustice on my tongue?
Cannot my palate discernn Or wordscalamities?

Job, Chapter 7

1 Job’s Life Seems Futile
1 
“a Lit Has not man compulsory laborIs not man forced to labor on earth,
And are not his days like the days of a hired man?
2 
“As a slave who pants for the shade,
And as a hired man who eagerly waits for his wages,
3 
So am I allotted months of vanity,
And nights of trouble are appointed me.
4 
“When I lie down I say,
‘When shall I arise?’
But the night continues,
And I amb Lit sated withcontinually tossing until dawn.
5 
“My flesh is clothed with worms and a crust of dirt,
My skin hardens and runs.
6 
“My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle,
And come to an end without hope.
7 
“Remember that my life is but breath;
My eye will not again see good.
8 
“The eye of him who sees me will behold me no longer;
Your eyes will be on me, but I will not be.
9 
“When a cloud vanishes, it is gone,
So he who goes down to Sheol does not come up.
10 
“He will not return again to his house,
Nor will his place know him anymore.
11 
“Therefore I will not restrain my mouth;
I will speak in the anguish of my spirit,
I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
12 
“Am I the sea, or the sea monster,
That You set a guard over me?
13 
“If I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
My couch willc Lit bearease my complaint,’
14 
Then You frighten me with dreams
And terrify me by visions;
15 
So that my soul would choose suffocation,
Death rather than myd Lit bonespains.
16 
“Ie Or loathewaste away; I will not live forever.
Leave me alone, for my days are but a breath.
17 
“What is man that You magnify him,
And that Youf Lit set Your heart onare concerned about him,
18 
That You examine him every morning
And try him every moment?
19 
“g Lit How long will You notWill You never turn Your gaze away from me,
Nor let me alone until I swallow my spittle?
20 
“Have I sinned? What have I done to You,
O watcher of men?
Why have You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden to myself?
21 
“Why then do You not pardon my transgression
And take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust;
And You will seek me, but I will not be.”

Job, Chapter 8

1 Bildad Says God Rewards the Good
1 Then Bildad the Shuhitea Lit answered and saidanswered,
2 
“How long will you say these things,
And the words of your mouth be a mighty wind?

“Does God pervert justice?
Or doesb Heb Shaddaithe Almighty pervert what is right?
4 
“If your sons sinned against Him,
Then He delivered them into thec Lit handpower of their transgression.
5 
“If you would seek God
And implore the compassion ofd Heb Shaddaithe Almighty,
6 
If you are pure and upright,
Surely now He would rouse Himself for you
And restore your righteouse Lit placeestate.
7 
“Though your beginning was insignificant,
Yet your end will increase greatly.
8 
“Please inquire of past generations,
And consider the things searched out by their fathers.
9 
“For we are only of yesterday and know nothing,
Because our days on earth are as a shadow.
10 
“Will they not teach you and tell you,
And bring forth words from their minds?
11 
“Can the papyrus grow up without a marsh?
Can the rushes grow without water?
12 
“While it is still green and not cut down,
Yet it withers before any otherf Lit reedplant.
13 
“So are the paths of all who forget God;
And the hope of the godless will perish,
14 
Whose confidence is fragile,
And whose trust a spider’sg Lit houseweb.
15 
“Heh Lit leans ontrusts in his house, but it does not stand;
He holds fast to it, but it does not endure.
16 
“Hei Lit is lushthrives before the sun,
And his shoots spread out over his garden.
17 
“His roots wrap around a rock pile,
Hej Heb seesgrasps a house of stones.
18 
“If he isk Lit swallowed upremoved from his place,
Then it will deny him, saying, ‘I never saw you.’
19 
“Behold, this is the joy of His way;
And out of the dust others will spring.

“Lo, God will not reject a man of integrity,
Nor will Hel Lit strengthen the hand ofsupport the evildoers.

“Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,
And the tent of the wicked will be no longer.”

1 Job Says There Is No Arbitrator between God and Man

“If one wished to dispute with Him,
He could not answer Him once in a thousand times.

“Wise in heart and mighty in strength,

5 
“It is God who removes the mountains, they know not how,
When He overturns them in His anger;
6 
Who shakes the earth out of its place,
And its pillars tremble;
7 
Who commands the sune Lit and it does not shinenot to shine,
And sets a seal upon the stars;
8 
Who alone stretches out the heavens
Andf Lit treads upon the heights oftramples down the waves of the sea;
9 
Who makes the Bear, Orion and the Pleiades,
And the chambers of the south;
10 
Who does great things,g Lit until there is no searching outunfathomable,
And wondrous works without number.
11 
“Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him;
Were He to move past me, I would not perceive Him.
12 
“Were He to snatch away, who could restrain Him?
Who could say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’
13 
“God will not turn back His anger;
Beneath Him crouch the helpers of Rahab.
14 
“How then can Ih Or plead my caseanswer Him,
And choose my wordsi Lit withbefore Him?
15 
“For though I were right, I could notj Or plead my caseanswer;
I would have to implore the mercy of my judge.
16 
“If I called and He answered me,
I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.
17 
“For He bruises me with a tempest
And multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 
“He will not allow me to get my breath,
But saturates me with bitterness.

“If it is a matter of power, behold, He is the strong one!
And if it is a matter of justice, who can summonk So with Gr; Heb meHim?
20 
“Though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me;
Though I am guiltless, He will declare me guilty.
21 
“I am guiltless;
I do not take notice of myself;
I despise my life.
22 
“It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He destroys the guiltless and the wicked.’
23 
“If the scourge kills suddenly,
He mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 
“The earth is given into the hand of the wicked;
He covers the faces of its judges.
If it is not He, then who is it?
25 
“Now my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.
26 
“They slip by like reed boats,
Like an eagle that swoops onl Lit foodits prey.
27 
“Though I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,
I will leave off my sad countenance and be cheerful,’
28 
I am afraid of all my pains,
I know that You will not acquit me.
29 
“I am accounted wicked,
Why then should I toil in vain?
30 
“If I should wash myself with snow
And cleanse my hands with lye,
31 
Yet You would plunge me into the pit,
And my own clothes would abhor me.

“For He is not a man as I am that I may answer Him,
That we may go tom Lit judgmentcourt together.
33 
“There is no umpire between us,
Who may lay his hand upon us both.
34 
“Let Him remove His rod from me,
And let not dread of Him terrify me.
35 
“Then I would speak and not fear Him;
But I am not like that in myself.

I am not inferior to you.
3 
“But I would speak toa Heb Shaddaithe Almighty,
And I desire to argue with God.
4 
“But you smear with lies;
You are all worthless physicians.
5 
“O that you would be completely silent,
And that it would become your wisdom!
6 
“Please hear my argument
And listen to the contentions of my lips.
7 
“Will you speak what is unjust for God,
And speak what is deceitful for Him?
8 
“Will you show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?
9 
“Will it be well when He examines you?
Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?
10 
“He will surely reprove you
If you secretly show partiality.
11 
“Will not Hisb Lit exaltationmajesty terrify you,
And the dread of Him fall on you?

Your defenses are defenses of clay.

Then let come on me what may.

“Why should I take my flesh in my teeth
And put my life in myc Lit palmhands?

I will hope in Him.
Nevertheless I will argue my waysd Lit to His facebefore Him.

And let my declaration fill your ears.

I know that I will be vindicated.

“Only two things do not do to me,
Then I will not hide from Your face:
21 
Remove Youre Lit palmhand from me,
And let not the dread of You terrify me.
22 
“Then call, and I will answer;
Or let me speak, then reply to me.

“How many are my iniquities and sins?
Make known to me myf Or transgressionrebellion and my sin.
24 
“Why do You hide Your face
And consider me Your enemy?
25 
“Will You cause a driven leaf to tremble?
Or will You pursue the dry chaff?
26 
“For You write bitter things against me
And make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.
27 
“You put my feet in the stocks
And watch all my paths;
Youg Lit carve forset a limit for the soles of my feet,
28 
Whileh Lit he isI am decaying like a rotten thing,
Like a garment that is moth-eaten.

Job, Chapter 14

1 Job Speaks of the Finality of Death
1 
“Man, who is born of woman,
Isa Lit short of daysshort-lived and full of turmoil.
2 
“Like a flower he comes forth and withers.
He also flees like a shadow and does not remain.
3 
“You also open Your eyes on him
And bringb So with some ancient versions; M.T. mehim into judgment with Yourself.
4 
“Who can make the clean out of the unclean?
No one!
5 
“Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
And his limits You havec Lit madeset so that he cannot pass.
6 
“Turn Your gaze from him that he mayd Lit ceaserest,
Until hee Lit makes acceptablefulfills his day like a hired man.
7 
“For there is hope for a tree,
When it is cut down, that it will sprout again,
And its shoots will notf Or ceasefail.
8 
“Though its roots grow old in the ground
And its stump dies in the dry soil,
9 
At the scent of water it will flourish
And put forth sprigs like a plant.
10 
“But man dies and lies prostrate.
Man expires, and where is he?
11 
“As waterg Lit disappearsevaporates from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dried up,
12 
So man lies down and does not rise.
Until the heavens are no longer,
h Lit TheyHe will not awake nor be aroused out ofi Lit theirhis sleep.
13 
“Oh that You would hide me inj I.e. the nether worldSheol,
That You would conceal me until Your wrath returns to You,
That You would set a limit for me and remember me!
14 
“If a man dies, will he live again?
All the days of my struggle I will wait
Until my change comes.
15 
“You will call, and I will answer You;
You will long for the work of Your hands.
16 
“For now You number my steps,
You do not observe my sin.
17 
“My transgression is sealed up in a bag,
And Youk Lit plaster; or glue togetherwrap up my iniquity.
18 
“But the falling mountainl Lit witherscrumbles away,
And the rock moves from its place;
19 
Water wears away stones,
Its torrents wash away the dust of the earth;
So You destroy man’s hope.
20 
“You forever overpower him and he departs;
You change his appearance and send him away.
21 
“His sons achieve honor, but he does not know it;
Or they become insignificant, but he does not perceive it.
22 
“But hism Lit fleshbody pains him,
And he mourns only for himself.”
