18:1Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said, Compare
18:2How long will you hunt for words? / Consider, and afterward we will speak. Compare
18:3Why are we considered to be like beasts / And have become unclean in your eyes? Compare
18:4You who tear yourself in your anger, / Will the earth be forsaken for your sake, / Or will the rock be removed from its place? Compare
18:5Indeed the light of the wicked goes out, / And the flame of his fire does not shine. Compare
18:6The light is darkness in his tent, / And his lamp above him goes out. Compare
18:7The steps of his strength are confined, / And his counsel has cast him down. Compare
18:8For he has been cast into a net by his own feet, / And he walks about on the webbing of a pitfall. Compare
18:9A snare grabs him by the heel; / A trap lays hold on him. Compare
18:10A rope is hidden for him on the ground, / And a trap for him, on the path. Compare
18:11Terrors frighten him all around / And chase him at his heels. Compare
18:12His strength is famished, / And calamity is prepared at his side. Compare
18:13It devours the members of his body; / The firstborn of death devours his members. Compare
18:14He is rooted out of his tent, in which he trusts; / And he is made to march to the king of terrors. Compare
18:15That which is not his dwells in his tent; / Brimstone is scattered upon his habitation. Compare
18:16Beneath, his roots are dried up; / And above, his branch is withered. Compare
18:17The memory of him perishes from the earth, / And he has no name on the open plain. Compare
18:18He is thrust out from the light to the darkness / And driven from the world. Compare
18:19He has no posterity and no progeny among his people, / And there are none remaining where he sojourned. Compare
18:20Those who come after will be astonished at his day, / As those who went before were horrified. Compare
18:21Surely these are the dwellings of the unjust, / And this is the place of him who does not know God. Compare
19:1Then Job answered and said, Compare
19:2How long will you grieve my soul / And crush me with your words? Compare
19:3These ten times you have reproached me; / You are not ashamed to deal wrongly with me. Compare
19:4And be it that I have erred, / My error remains with me. Compare
19:5If you indeed magnify yourselves against me / And use my reproach in argument against me, Compare
19:6Know then that God has subverted my cause / And compassed me about with His net. Compare
19:7Indeed, I cry out, Violence! and I am not answered; / I call for help, and there is no justice. Compare
19:8He has walled up my way so that I cannot pass; / And He has put darkness upon my paths. Compare
19:9He has stripped my glory from me / And taken away the crown on my head. Compare
19:10He has broken me all around, and I am gone; / And my hope is plucked up like a tree. Compare
19:11He has also kindled His anger against me, / And in Himself He considers me as His adversary. Compare
19:12His troops come together / And cast up their highway against me / And encamp all around my tent. Compare
19:13He has removed my brothers far from me, / And those who know me are wholly estranged from me. Compare
19:14My relatives have failed me, / And my acquaintances have forgotten me. Compare
19:15Those who sojourn in my house and my maids consider me as a stranger; / I am a foreigner in their eyes. Compare
19:16To my servant I call out, but he does not answer; / I entreat him with my mouth. Compare
19:17My breath is strange to my wife; / And my supplications, to the children of my mother's womb. Compare
19:18Even little children despise me: / I arise and they speak against me. Compare
19:19All the men whom I take counsel with abhor me, / And those whom I love have turned against me. Compare
19:20My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, / And I have escaped by the skin of my teeth. Compare
19:21Pity me, pity me, O my friends; / For the hand of God has touched me. Compare
19:22Why do you persecute me as God does / And are not satisfied with eating my flesh? Compare
19:23Oh that my words were now written! / Oh that they were inscribed in a book! Compare
19:24That with an iron pen and with lead / They were engraved in rock forever! Compare
19:25But I know that my Redeemer lives, / And at the last He will stand upon the earth; Compare
19:26And after this body of mine is destroyed, / Outside my flesh I will look on God, Compare
19:27Whom I, even I, will look on for myself, / And my eyes will see; I, and no other. / My inward parts that long for God are consumed within me. Compare
19:28If you say, How will we persecute him? / For the root of the matter is found in him; Compare
19:29Be fearful of the sword, / For wrath brings the punishment of the sword, / That you may know that there is a judgment. Compare
20:1Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said, Compare
20:2Because of this, my disquieting thoughts answer me; / And hence my haste is in me. Compare
20:3I hear the reproof that humiliates me, / And the spirit of my understanding answers me. Compare
20:4Do you not know this from of old, / Since man was set upon the earth, Compare
20:5That the joyous shouting of the wicked is short, / And the rejoicing of the profane is but for a moment? Compare
20:6Though his arrogance goes up to heaven, / And his head touches the clouds; Compare
20:7Like his own dung he perishes forever; / Those who have seen him say, Where is he? Compare
20:8Like a dream he flies away and is not found; / Indeed he is chased away like a vision of the night. Compare
20:9The eye looks on him then sees him no more, / Nor does his place observe him anymore. Compare
20:10His children seek the favor of the poor, / And his hands return his wealth. Compare
20:11His bones are full of youthful vigor, / Yet it lies down with him in the dust. Compare
20:12Though wickedness is sweet in his mouth, / Though he hides it under his tongue, Compare
20:13Though he favors it and will not forsake it, / But holds it in his mouth; Compare
20:14His food in his bowels is changed; / It is the venom of asps within him. Compare
20:15He swallows down riches and vomits them up; / God casts them forth from his stomach. Compare
20:16He sucks the poison of asps; / The tongue of the viper slays him. Compare
20:17He will not look on the rivers, / The streams flowing with honey and butter. Compare
20:18He will return what he toiled for and will not swallow it down; / And he will not rejoice according to the wealth of his trading. Compare
20:19For he has oppressed and abandoned the poor; / He has violently seized a house that he did not build. Compare
20:20Because he knew no respite in his craving, / Of that which he desired he will save nothing. Compare
20:21There will be nothing left of what he has devoured; / Thus his prosperity will not endure. Compare
20:22In the fullness of his sufficiency he will be distressed; / The hand of everyone in trouble will come against him. Compare
20:23In order to fill his belly, / God will send the burning fierceness of His wrath on him / And will rain it upon him as his food. Compare
20:24He will flee from the iron weapon, / But the bronze bow will strike him through. Compare
20:25He draws the arrow out, and it comes out of his body; / Indeed the glittering point goes forth from his gall. / Terrors come upon him. Compare
20:26Total darkness is laid up as his treasures; / A fire not fanned by man will devour him; / It will feed on what is left in his tent. Compare
20:27The heavens will reveal his iniquity, / And the earth will rise up against him. Compare
20:28The increase of his house will depart / As things swept away in the day of His wrath. Compare
20:29This is the wicked man's portion from God / And the inheritance decreed to him by God. Compare
