1 Again there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before theLord, and Satan came also among them to present himself before theLord. 2 And theLordsaid unto Satan, From whence comest thou? And Satan answered theLord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up […]

1 After this opened Job his mouth, and cursed his day. 2 And Job answered and said: 3 Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night which said, There is a man child conceived. 4 Let that day be darkness; let not God regard it from above, neither let the light shine […]

1 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said, 2 How long wilt thou speak these things? andhow longshall the words of thy mouth belikea mighty wind? 3 Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice? 4 If thy children have sinned against him, and he have delivered them into the hand of their […]

1 Then Job answered and said, 2 Of a truth I know that it is so: but how can man be just with God? 3 If he be pleased to contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. 4 He iswise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against […]

1 My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. 2 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me. 3 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest […]
