+  <chapter no='1'>
+    <verse no='1'>There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name was Job; and  that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed  evil.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And there were born unto him seven sons and three daughters.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>His substance also was seven thousand sheep, and three  thousand camels, and five hundred yoke of oxen, and five hundred she  asses, and a very great household; so that this man was the greatest of  all the men of the east.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And his sons went and feasted in their houses, every one his  day; and sent and called for their three sisters to eat and to drink  with them.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>And it was so, when the days of their feasting were gone  about, that Job sent and sanctified them, and rose up early in the  morning, and offered burnt offerings according to the number of them  all: for Job said, It may be that my sons have sinned, and cursed God  in their hearts. Thus did Job continually.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present  themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And the LORD said unto Satan, Whence comest thou? Then Satan  answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and  from walking up and down in it.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my  servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an  upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Doth Job fear God  for nought?</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Hast not thou made an hedge about him, and about his house,  and about all that he hath on every side? thou hast blessed the work of  his hands, and his substance is increased in the land.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath,  and he will curse thee to thy face.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, all that he hath is in  thy power; only upon himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went  forth from the presence of the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>And there was a day when his sons and his daughters were  eating and drinking wine in their eldest brother's house:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And there came a messenger unto Job, and said, The oxen were  plowing, and the asses feeding beside them:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>And the Sabeans fell upon them, and took them away; yea,  they have slain the servants with the edge of the sword; and I only am  escaped alone to tell thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and  said, The fire of God is fallen from heaven, and hath burned up the  sheep, and the servants, and consumed them; and I only am escaped alone  to tell thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and  said, The Chaldeans made out three bands, and fell upon the camels, and  have carried them away, yea, and slain the servants with the edge of  the sword; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>While he was yet speaking, there came also another, and  said, Thy sons and thy daughters were eating and drinking wine in their  eldest brother's house:</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>And, behold, there came a great wind from the wilderness,  and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young  men, and they are dead; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Then Job arose, and rent his mantle, and shaved his head,  and fell down upon the ground, and worshipped,</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And said, Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked  shall I return thither: the LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away;  blessed be the name of the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>In all this Job sinned not, nor charged God foolishly.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='2'>
+    <verse no='1'>Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present  themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them to present  himself before the LORD.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And the LORD said unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And  Satan answered the LORD, and said, From going to and fro in the earth,  and from walking up and down in it.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>And the LORD said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my  servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an  upright man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil? and still he  holdeth fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to  destroy him without cause.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>And Satan answered the LORD, and said, Skin for skin, yea,  all that a man hath will he give for his life.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his  flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>And the LORD said unto Satan, Behold, he is in thine hand;  but save his life.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>So went Satan forth from the presence of the LORD, and smote  Job with sore boils from the sole of his foot unto his crown.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And he took him a potsherd to scrape himself withal; and he  sat down among the ashes.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Then said his wife unto him, Dost thou still retain thine  integrity? curse God, and die.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the foolish  women speaketh. What? shall we receive good at the hand of God, and  shall we not receive evil? In all this did not Job sin with his lips.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was  come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the  Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they  had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to  comfort him.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>And when they lifted up their eyes afar off, and knew him  not, they lifted up their voice, and wept; and they rent every one his  mantle, and sprinkled dust upon their heads toward heaven.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>So they sat down with him upon the ground seven days and  seven nights, and none spake a word unto him: for they saw that his  grief was very great.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='3'>
+    <verse no='1'>After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>And Job spake, and said,</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in  which it was said, There is a man child conceived.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above,  neither let the light shine upon it.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud  dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>As for that night, let darkness seize upon it; let it not be  joined unto the days of the year, let it not come into the number of  the months.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come  therein.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to raise  up their mourning.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look  for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Because it shut not up the doors of my mother's womb, nor  hid sorrow from mine eyes.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the  ghost when I came out of the belly?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Why did the knees prevent me? or why the breasts that I  should suck?</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should  have slept: then had I been at rest,</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>With kings and counsellors of the earth, which build  desolate places for themselves;</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with  silver:</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Or as an hidden untimely birth I had not been; as infants  which never saw light.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary  be at rest.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>There the prisoners rest together; they hear not the voice  of the oppressor.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>The small and great are there; and the servant is free from  his master.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life  unto the bitter in soul;</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more  than for hid treasures;</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Which rejoice exceedingly, and are glad, when they can find  the grave?</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God  hath hedged in?</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>For my sighing cometh before I eat, and my roarings are  poured out like the waters.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and  that which I was afraid of is come unto me.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>I was not in safety, neither had I rest, neither was I  quiet; yet trouble came.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='4'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>If we assay to commune with thee, wilt thou be grieved? but  who can withhold himself from speaking?</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast  strengthened the weak hands.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast  strengthened the feeble knees.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth  thee, and thou art troubled.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Is not this thy fear, thy confidence, thy hope, and the  uprightness of thy ways?</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or  where were the righteous cut off?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow  wickedness, reap the same.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his  nostrils are they consumed.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion,  and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout  lion's whelps are scattered abroad.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear  received a little thereof.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep  falleth on men,</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to  shake.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Then a spirit passed before my face; the hair of my flesh  stood up:</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>It stood still, but I could not discern the form thereof: an  image was before mine eyes, there was silence, and I heard a voice,  saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more  pure than his maker?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Behold, he put no trust in his servants; and his angels he  charged with folly:</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>How much less in them that dwell in houses of clay, whose  foundation is in the dust, which are crushed before the moth?</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>They are destroyed from morning to evening: they perish for  ever without any regarding it.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Doth not their excellency which is in them go away? they  die, even without wisdom.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='5'>
+    <verse no='1'>Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to  which of the saints wilt thou turn?</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the  silly one.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed  his habitation.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in  the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Whose harvest the hungry eateth up, and taketh it even out  of the thorns, and the robber swalloweth up their substance.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Although affliction cometh not forth of the dust, neither  doth trouble spring out of the ground;</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Yet man is born unto trouble, as the sparks fly upward.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>I would seek unto God, and unto God would I commit my cause:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Which doeth great things and unsearchable; marvellous things  without number:</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the  fields:</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>To set up on high those that be low; that those which mourn  may be exalted to safety.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their  hands cannot perform their enterprise.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>He taketh the wise in their own craftiness: and the counsel  of the froward is carried headlong.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>They meet with darkness in the day time, and grope in the  noonday as in the night.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>But he saveth the poor from the sword, from their mouth, and  from the hand of the mighty.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>So the poor hath hope, and iniquity stoppeth her mouth.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore  despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>For he maketh sore, and bindeth up: he woundeth, and his  hands make whole.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>He shall deliver thee in six troubles: yea, in seven there  shall no evil touch thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>In famine he shall redeem thee from death: and in war from  the power of the sword.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Thou shalt be hid from the scourge of the tongue: neither  shalt thou be afraid of destruction when it cometh.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>At destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: neither shalt  thou be afraid of the beasts of the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>For thou shalt be in league with the stones of the field:  and the beasts of the field shall be at peace with thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle shall be in peace;  and thou shalt visit thy habitation, and shalt not sin.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be great, and thine  offspring as the grass of the earth.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Thou shalt come to thy grave in a full age, like as a shock  of corn cometh in in his season.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Lo this, we have searched it, so it is; hear it, and know  thou it for thy good.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='6'>
+    <verse no='1'>But Job answered and said,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity  laid in the balances together!</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea:  therefore my words are swallowed up.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison  whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in  array against me.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox  over his fodder?</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is  there any taste in the white of an egg?</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>The things that my soul refused to touch are as my sorrowful  meat.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant me  the thing that I long for!</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would  let loose his hand, and cut me off!</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself  in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the  Holy One.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>What is my strength, that I should hope? and what is mine  end, that I should prolong my life?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Is my strength the strength of stones? or is my flesh of  brass?</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Is not my help in me? and is wisdom driven quite from me?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>To him that is afflicted pity should be shewed from his  friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>My brethren have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as the  stream of brooks they pass away;</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Which are blackish by reason of the ice, and wherein the  snow is hid:</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>What time they wax warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they  are consumed out of their place.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>The paths of their way are turned aside; they go to nothing,  and perish.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>The troops of Tema looked, the companies of Sheba waited for  them.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>They were confounded because they had hoped; they came  thither, and were ashamed.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are  afraid.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your  substance?</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the  hand of the mighty?</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to  understand wherein I have erred.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing  reprove?</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that  is desperate, which are as wind?</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig a pit for your  friend.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident  unto you if I lie.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return  again, my righteousness is in it.</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern  perverse things?</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='7'>
+    <verse no='1'>Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not  his days also like the days of an hireling?</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>As a servant earnestly desireth the shadow, and as an  hireling looketh for the reward of his work:</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>So am I made to possess months of vanity, and wearisome  nights are appointed to me.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night be  gone? and I am full of tossings to and fro unto the dawning of the day.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my skin is  broken, and become loathsome.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle, and are spent  without hope.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>O remember that my life is wind: mine eye shall no more see  good.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>The eye of him that hath seen me shall see me no more: thine  eyes are upon me, and I am not.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>As the cloud is consumed and vanisheth away: so he that  goeth down to the grave shall come up no more.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>He shall return no more to his house, neither shall his  place know him any more.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the  anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Am I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>When I say, My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my  complaints;</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Then thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through  visions:</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than  my life.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>I loathe it; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my  days are vanity.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou  shouldest set thine heart upon him?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>And that thou shouldest visit him every morning, and try him  every moment?</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>How long wilt thou not depart from me, nor let me alone till  I swallow down my spittle?</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>I have sinned; what shall I do unto thee, O thou preserver  of men? why hast thou set me as a mark against thee, so that I am a  burden to myself?</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away  my iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me  in the morning, but I shall not be.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='8'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall  the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert  justice?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>If thy children have sinned against him, and he have cast  them away for their transgression;</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>If thou wouldest seek unto God betimes, and make thy  supplication to the Almighty;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for  thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should  greatly increase.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare  thyself to the search of their fathers:</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>(For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our  days upon earth are a shadow:)</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words  out of their heart?</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without  water?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it  withereth before any other herb.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's  hope shall perish:</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a  spider's web.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he  shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in  his garden.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of  stones.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him,  saying, I have not seen thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth  shall others grow.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will  he help the evil doers:</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with  rejoicing.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the  dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='9'>
+    <verse no='1'>Then Job answered and said,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with  God?</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a  thousand.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath  hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which  overturneth them in his anger.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars  thereof tremble.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up  the stars.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the  waves of the sea.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers  of the south.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders  without number.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also,  but I perceive him not.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say  unto him, What doest thou?</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do  stoop under him.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to  reason with him?</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I  would make supplication to my judge.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not  believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds  without cause.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with  bitterness.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of  judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I  say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would  despise my life.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the  perfect and the wicked.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of  the innocent.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth  the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?</verse>

+    <verse no='7'>Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud,  but there is no judgment.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set  darkness in my paths.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my  head.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine  hope hath he removed like a tree.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth  me unto him as one of his enemies.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>His troops come together, and raise up their way against me,  and encamp round about my tabernacle.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance  are verily estranged from me.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have  forgotten me.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a  stranger: I am an alien in their sight.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated  him with my mouth.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the  children's sake of mine own body.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake  against me.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are  turned against me.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am  escaped with the skin of my teeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for  the hand of God hath touched me.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my  flesh?</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed  in a book!</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock  for ever!</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand  at the latter day upon the earth:</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my  flesh shall I see God:</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and  not another; though my reins be consumed within me.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of  the matter is found in me?</verse>

+    <verse no='18'>That which he laboured for shall he restore, and shall not  swallow it down: according to his substance shall the restitution be,  and he shall not rejoice therein.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Because he hath oppressed and hath forsaken the poor;  because he hath violently taken away an house which he builded not;</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>Surely he shall not feel quietness in his belly, he shall  not save of that which he desired.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>There shall none of his meat be left; therefore shall no man  look for his goods.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:  every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>When he is about to fill his belly, God shall cast the fury  of his wrath upon him, and shall rain it upon him while he is eating.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>He shall flee from the iron weapon, and the bow of steel  shall strike him through.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>It is drawn, and cometh out of the body; yea, the glittering  sword cometh out of his gall: terrors are upon him.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>All darkness shall be hid in his secret places: a fire not  blown shall consume him; it shall go ill with him that is left in his  tabernacle.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>The heaven shall reveal his iniquity; and the earth shall  rise up against him.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>The increase of his house shall depart, and his goods shall  flow away in the day of his wrath.</verse>

+    <verse no='20'>Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of  understanding?</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close  from the fowls of the air.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof  with our ears.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place  thereof.</verse>

+    <verse no='25'>To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters  by measure.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the  lightning of the thunder:</verse>

+    <verse no='1'>Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,</verse>

+    <verse no='3'>When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I  walked through darkness;</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was  upon my tabernacle;</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were  about me;</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me  out rivers of oil;</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>When I went out to the gate through the city, when I  prepared my seat in the street!</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged  arose, and stood up.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their  mouth.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the  roof of their mouth.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye  saw me, it gave witness to me:</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless,  and him that had none to help him.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me:  and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was  as a robe and a diadem.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I  searched out.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil  out of his teeth.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my  days as the sand.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all  night upon my branch.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my  counsel.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped  upon them.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened  their mouth wide as for the latter rain.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of  my countenance they cast not down.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in  the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.</verse>

+    <verse no='3'>For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the  wilderness in former time desolate and waste.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for  their meat.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after  them as after a thief;)</verse>

+    <verse no='7'>Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were  gathered together.</verse>

+    <verse no='24'>Howbeit he will not stretch out his hand to the grave,  though they cry in his destruction.</verse>

+    <verse no='26'>When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I  waited for light, there came darkness.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>My bowels boiled, and rested not: the days of affliction  prevented me.</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, and I cried in  the congregation.</verse>

+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='32'>
+    <verse no='1'>So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was  righteous in his own eyes.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>Also against his three friends was his wrath kindled,  because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were  elder than he.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of  these three men, then his wrath was kindled.</verse>
+    <verse no='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  shew you mine opinion.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>I said, Days should speak, and multitude of years should  teach wisdom.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>But there is a spirit in man: and the inspiration of the  Almighty giveth them understanding.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged  understand judgment.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Therefore I said, Hearken to me; I also will shew mine  opinion.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Behold, I waited for your words; I gave ear to your reasons,  whilst ye searched out what to say.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, there was none of you  that convinced Job, or that answered his words:</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom: God thrusteth  him down, not man.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will  I answer him with your speeches.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>They were amazed, they answered no more: they left off  speaking.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and  answered no more;)</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>I said, I will answer also my part, I also will shew mine  opinion.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>For I am full of matter, the spirit within me constraineth  me.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>Behold, my belly is as wine which hath no vent; it is ready  to burst like new bottles.</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>I will speak, that I may be refreshed: I will open my lips  and answer.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>Let me not, I pray you, accept any man's person, neither let  me give flattering titles unto man.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>For I know not to give flattering titles; in so doing my  maker would soon take me away.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='33'>
+    <verse no='1'>Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken  to all my words.</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in  my mouth.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my  lips shall utter knowledge clearly.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>The spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the  Almighty hath given me life.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me,  stand up.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am  formed out of the clay.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall  my hand be heavy upon thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard  the voice of thy words, saying,</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is  there iniquity in me.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for  his enemy,</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that  God is greater than man.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account  of any of his matters.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep  falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their  instruction,</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride  from man.</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from  perishing by the sword.</verse>
+    <verse no='19'>He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the  multitude of his bones with strong pain:</verse>
+    <verse no='20'>So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his  bones that were not seen stick out.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to  the destroyers.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among  a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from  going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return  to the days of his youth:</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and  perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his  life shall see the light.</verse>
+    <verse no='29'>Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with  the light of the living.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I  will speak.</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>If thou hast anything to say, answer me: speak, for I desire  to justify thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='33'>If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach  thee wisdom.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='34'>
+    <verse no='1'>Furthermore Elihu answered and said,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Hear my words, O ye wise men; and give ear unto me, ye that  have knowledge.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves  what is good.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away  my judgment.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Should I lie against my right? my wound is incurable without  transgression.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and  walketh with wicked men.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should  delight himself with God.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>For the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause  every man to find according to his ways.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>Yea, surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the  Almighty pervert judgment.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath  disposed the whole world?</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>If he set his heart upon man, if he gather unto himself his  spirit and his breath;</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again  unto dust.</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the  voice of my words.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou  condemn him that is most just?</verse>
+    <verse no='18'>Is it fit to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes,  Ye are ungodly?</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='21'>For his eyes are upon the ways of man, and he seeth all his  goings.</verse>
+    <verse no='22'>There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers  of iniquity may hide themselves.</verse>
+    <verse no='23'>For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should  enter into judgment with God.</verse>
+    <verse no='24'>He shall break in pieces mighty men without number, and set  others in their stead.</verse>
+    <verse no='25'>Therefore he knoweth their works, and he overturneth them in  the night, so that they are destroyed.</verse>
+    <verse no='26'>He striketh them as wicked men in the open sight of others;</verse>
+    <verse no='27'>Because they turned back from him, and would not consider  any of his ways:</verse>
+    <verse no='28'>So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and  he heareth the cry of the afflicted.</verse>
+    <verse no='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:</verse>
+    <verse no='30'>That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.</verse>
+    <verse no='31'>Surely it is meet to be said unto God, I have borne  chastisement, I will not offend any more:</verse>
+    <verse no='32'>That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity,  I will do no more.</verse>
+    <verse no='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.</verse>
+    <verse no='34'>Let men of understanding tell me, and let a wise man hearken  unto me.</verse>
+    <verse no='35'>Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were  without wisdom.</verse>
+    <verse no='36'>My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of  his answers for wicked men.</verse>
+    <verse no='37'>For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands  among us, and multiplieth his words against God.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='35'>
+    <verse no='1'>Elihu spake moreover, and said,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Thinkest thou this to be right, that thou saidst, My  righteousness is more than God's?</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? and,  What profit shall I have, if I be cleansed from my sin?</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>I will answer thee, and thy companions with thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which  are higher than thou.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>If thou sinnest, what doest thou against him? or if thy  transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him?</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? or what  receiveth he of thine hand?</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; and thy  righteousness may profit the son of man.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the  oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.</verse>
+    <verse no='10'>But none saith, Where is God my maker, who giveth songs in  the night;</verse>
+    <verse no='11'>Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and  maketh us wiser than the fowls of heaven?</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride  of evil men.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>Surely God will not hear vanity, neither will the Almighty  regard it.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is  before him; therefore trust thou in him.</verse>
+    <verse no='15'>But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger;  yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:</verse>
+    <verse no='16'>Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth  words without knowledge.</verse>
+  </chapter>
+  <chapter no='36'>
+    <verse no='1'>Elihu also proceeded, and said,</verse>
+    <verse no='2'>Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that I have yet to  speak on God's behalf.</verse>
+    <verse no='3'>I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe  righteousness to my Maker.</verse>
+    <verse no='4'>For truly my words shall not be false: he that is perfect in  knowledge is with thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='5'>Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: he is mighty  in strength and wisdom.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right  to the poor.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with  kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and  they are exalted.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of  affliction;</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions  that they have exceeded.</verse>

+    <verse no='5'>I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine  eye seeth thee.</verse>
+    <verse no='6'>Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.</verse>
+    <verse no='7'>And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words  unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled  against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me  the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.</verse>
+    <verse no='8'>Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams,  and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering;  and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I  deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the  thing which is right, like my servant Job.</verse>
+    <verse no='9'>So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar  the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the  LORD also accepted Job.</verse>

+    <verse no='11'>Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his  sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did  eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted  him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man  also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.</verse>
+    <verse no='12'>So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his  beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels,  and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.</verse>
+    <verse no='13'>He had also seven sons and three daughters.</verse>
+    <verse no='14'>And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of  the second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.</verse>

+    <verse no='16'>After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his  sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.</verse>
+    <verse no='17'>So Job died, being old and full of days.</verse>
