-
And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life;
-
That night—let gloom seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.
-
Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and dig [a pit] for your friend.
-
Return, I pray you, let there be no wrong; yea, return again, my righteousness shall be in it.
-
Are thy days as the days of a mortal? are thy years as a man's days,
-
Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour.
-
But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?
-
Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before God.
-
All his days the wicked man is tormented, and numbered years are allotted to the violent.
-
For years [few] in number shall pass,—and I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return.
-
And where is then my hope? yea, my hope, who shall see it?
-
Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the flame of his fire shall not shine.
-
Wherefore do the wicked live, grow old, yea, become mighty in power?
-
Yea, then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto +God:
-
[Even] him that is not innocent shall he deliver; yea, he shall be delivered by the pureness of thy hands.
-
Corals and crystal are no more remembered; yea, the acquisition of wisdom is above rubies.
-
Then did he see it, and declare it; he established it, yea, and searched it out;
-
Yea, whereto [should] the strength of their hands [profit] me, [men] in whom vigour hath perished?
-
And now I am their song, yea, I am their byword.
-
They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, yea, they spare not to spit in my face.
-
For this is an infamy; yea, it is an iniquity [to be judged by] the judges:
-
I said, Let days speak, and multitude of years teach wisdom.
-
Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words;
-
Yea, surely, God acteth not wickedly, and the Almighty perverteth not judgment.
-
If they hearken and serve [him], they shall accomplish their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.
