Job Chapter 24

1 Why, seeing times are not hidden from the Almighty, do they that know
him not see his days?

2 Some remove the landmarks; they violently take away flocks, and feed thereof.

3 They drive away the ass of the fatherless, they take the widow's ox
for a pledge.

4 They turn the needy out of the way: the poor of the earth hide
themselves together.

5 Behold, as wild asses in the desert, go they forth to their work;
rising betimes for a prey: the wilderness yieldeth food for them and for
their children.

6 They reap every one his corn in the field: and they gather the vintage
of the wicked.

7 They cause the naked to lodge without clothing, that they have no
covering in the cold.

8 They are wet with the showers of the mountains, and embrace the rock
for want of a shelter.

9 They pluck the fatherless from the breast, and take a pledge of the poor.

10 They cause him to go naked without clothing, and they take away the
sheaf from the hungry;

11 Which make oil within their walls, and tread their winepresses, and
suffer thirst.

12 Men groan from out of the city, and the soul of the wounded crieth
out: yet God layeth not folly to them.

13 They are of those that rebel against the light; they know not the
ways thereof, nor abide in the paths thereof.

14 The murderer rising with the light killeth the poor and needy, and in
the night is as a thief.

15 The eye also of the adulterer waiteth for the twilight, saying, No
eye shall see me: and disguiseth his face.

16 In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for
themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

17 For the morning is to them even as the shadow of death: if one know
them, they are in the terrors of the shadow of death.

18 He is swift as the waters; their portion is cursed in the earth: he beholdeth not the way of the vineyards.

19 Drought and heat consume the snow waters: so doth the grave those
which have sinned.

20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he
shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.

21 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to
the widow.

22 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man
is sure of life.

23 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his
eyes are upon their ways.

24 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low;
they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of
the ears of corn.

25 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

Job Chapter 25

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

2 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

3 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

4 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is
born of a woman?

5 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not
pure in his sight.

6 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

Job Chapter 26

1 But Job answered and said,

2 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the
arm that hath no strength?

3 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

4 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

5 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

6 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

7 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the
earth upon nothing.

8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not
rent under them.

9 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

10 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night
come to an end.

11 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

12 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he
smiteth through the proud.

13 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

14 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of
him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

Job Chapter 27

1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,

2 As God liveth, who hath taken away my judgment; and the Almighty, who
hath vexed my soul;

3 All the while my breath is in me, and the spirit of God is in my nostrils;

4 My lips shall not speak wickedness, nor my tongue utter deceit.

5 God forbid that I should justify you: till I die I will not remove
mine integrity from me.

6 My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: my heart shall
not reproach me so long as I live.

7 Let mine enemy be as the wicked, and he that riseth up against me as
the unrighteous.

8 For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

9 Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

10 Will he delight himself in the Almighty? will he always call upon God?

11 I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty
will I not conceal.

12 Behold, all ye yourselves have seen it; why then are ye thus
altogether vain?

13 This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring
shall not be satisfied with bread.

15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows
shall not weep.

16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;

17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent
shall divide the silver.

18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.

19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth
his eyes, and he is not.

20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in
the night.

21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm
hurleth him out of his place.

22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of
his hand.

23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.

Job Chapter 28

1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they
fine it.

2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.

3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the
stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.

4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten
of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.

5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as
it were fire.

6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.

7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye
hath not seen:

8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.

9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains
by the roots.

10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every
precious thing.

11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid
bringeth he forth to light.

12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?

13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of
the living.

14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.

15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the
price thereof.

16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx,
or the sapphire.

17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it
shall not be for jewels of fine gold.

18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of
wisdom is above rubies.

19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued
with pure gold.

20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?

21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the
fowls of the air.

22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.

23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole
heaven;

25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

26 When he made a decree for the rain, 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 unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
and to depart from evil is understanding.
