40:24 He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.
41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a
cord which thou lettest down? 41:2 Canst thou put an hook into his
nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn? 41:3 Will he make many
supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee? 41:4
Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant
for ever? 41:5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou
bind him for thy maidens? 41:6 Shall the companions make a banquet of
him? shall they part him among the merchants? 41:7 Canst thou fill
his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears? 41:8 Lay
thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.
41:9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down
even at the sight of him? 41:10 None is so fierce that dare stir him
up: who then is able to stand before me? 41:11 Who hath prevented me,
that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.
41:12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely
proportion.
41:13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him
with his double bridle? 41:14 Who can open the doors of his face? his
teeth are terrible round about.
41:15 His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
41:16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.
41:17 They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they
cannot be sundered.
41:18 By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the
eyelids of the morning.
41:19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
41:20 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or
caldron.
41:21 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
41:22 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy
before him.
41:23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in
themselves; they cannot be moved.
41:24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the
nether millstone.
41:25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of
breakings they purify themselves.
41:26 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the
dart, nor the habergeon.
41:27 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
41:28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him
into stubble.
41:29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a
spear.
41:30 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things
upon the mire.
41:31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a
pot of ointment.
41:32 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to
be hoary.
41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
41:34 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children
of pride.
42:1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said, 42:2 I know that thou canst
do every thing, and that no thought can be withholden from thee.
42:3 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I
uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I
knew not.
42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee,
and declare thou unto me.
42:5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye
seeth thee.
42:6 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
42:7 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.
42:8 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.
42:9 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.
42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his
friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had before.
42:11 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.
42:12 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.
42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima; and the name of the
second, Kezia; and the name of the third, Kerenhappuch.
42:15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters
of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.
42:16 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and saw his
sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations.
42:17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
The Book of Psalms
1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the ungodly,
nor standeth in the way of sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the
scornful.
1:2 But his delight is in the law of the LORD; and in his law doth he
meditate day and night.
1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that
bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf also shall not
wither; and whatsoever he doeth shall prosper.
1:4 The ungodly are not so: but are like the chaff which the wind
driveth away.
1:5 Therefore the ungodly shall not stand in the judgment, nor sinners
in the congregation of the righteous.
1:6 For the LORD knoweth the way of the righteous: but the way of the
ungodly shall perish.
2:1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel
together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from
us.
2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have
them in derision.
2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his
sore displeasure.
2:6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
2:7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my
Son; this day have I begotten thee.
2:8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in
pieces like a potter’s vessel.
2:10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth.
2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when
his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their
trust in him.
3:1 Lord, how are they increased that trouble me! many are they that
rise up against me.
3:2 Many there be which say of my soul, There is no help for him in
God.
Selah.
3:3 But thou, O LORD, art a shield for me; my glory, and the lifter up
of mine head.
3:4 I cried unto the LORD with my voice, and he heard me out of his
holy hill. Selah.
3:5 I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.
3:6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of people, that have set
themselves against me round about.
3:7 Arise, O LORD; save me, O my God: for thou hast smitten all mine
enemies upon the cheek bone; thou hast broken the teeth of the
ungodly.
3:8 Salvation belongeth unto the LORD: thy blessing is upon thy
people.
Selah.
4:1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness: thou hast enlarged
me when I was in distress; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.
4:2 O ye sons of men, how long will ye turn my glory into shame? how
long will ye love vanity, and seek after leasing? Selah.
4:3 But know that the LORD hath set apart him that is godly for
himself: the LORD will hear when I call unto him.
4:4 Stand in awe, and sin not: commune with your own heart upon your
bed, and be still. Selah.
4:5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the
LORD.
4:6 There be many that say, Who will shew us any good? LORD, lift thou
up the light of thy countenance upon us.
4:7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart, more than in the time that
their corn and their wine increased.
4:8 I will both lay me down in peace, and sleep: for thou, LORD, only
makest me dwell in safety.
5:1 Give ear to my words, O LORD, consider my meditation.
5:2 Hearken unto the voice of my cry, my King, and my God: for unto
thee will I pray.
5:3 My voice shalt thou hear in the morning, O LORD; in the morning
will I direct my prayer unto thee, and will look up.
5:4 For thou art not a God that hath pleasure in wickedness: neither
shall evil dwell with thee.
5:5 The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers
of iniquity.
5:6 Thou shalt destroy them that speak leasing: the LORD will abhor
the bloody and deceitful man.
5:7 But as for me, I will come into thy house in the multitude of thy
mercy: and in thy fear will I worship toward thy holy temple.
5:8 Lead me, O LORD, in thy righteousness because of mine enemies;
make thy way straight before my face.
5:9 For there is no faithfulness in their mouth; their inward part is
very wickedness; their throat is an open sepulchre; they flatter with
their tongue.
5:10 Destroy thou them, O God; let them fall by their own counsels;
cast them out in the multitude of their transgressions; for they have
rebelled against thee.
5:11 But let all those that put their trust in thee rejoice: let them
ever shout for joy, because thou defendest them: let them also that
love thy name be joyful in thee.
5:12 For thou, LORD, wilt bless the righteous; with favour wilt thou
compass him as with a shield.
6:1 O LORD, rebuke me not in thine anger, neither chasten me in thy
hot displeasure.
6:2 Have mercy upon me, O LORD; for I am weak: O LORD, heal me; for my
bones are vexed.
6:3 My soul is also sore vexed: but thou, O LORD, how long?
6:4 Return, O LORD, deliver my soul: oh save me for thy mercies’ sake.
6:5 For in death there is no remembrance of thee: in the grave who
shall give thee thanks?
6:6 I am weary with my groaning; all the night make I my bed to swim;
I water my couch with my tears.
6:7 Mine eye is consumed because of grief; it waxeth old because of
all mine enemies.
6:8 Depart from me, all ye workers of iniquity; for the LORD hath
heard the voice of my weeping.
6:9 The LORD hath heard my supplication; the LORD will receive my
prayer.
6:10 Let all mine enemies be ashamed and sore vexed: let them return
and be ashamed suddenly.
7:1 O LORD my God, in thee do I put my trust: save me from all them
that persecute me, and deliver me:
7:2 Lest he tear my soul like a lion, rending it in pieces, while
there is none to deliver.
7:3 O LORD my God, If I have done this; if there be iniquity in my
hands;
7:4 If I have rewarded evil unto him that was at peace with me; (yea,
I have delivered him that without cause is mine enemy:)
7:5 Let the enemy persecute my soul, and take it; yea, let him tread
down my life upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Selah.
7:6 Arise, O LORD, in thine anger, lift up thyself because of the rage
of mine enemies: and awake fo
