{\MT The Book of Job



\par }\ChapOne{1}{\PP \VerseOne{1}There was a
man in the
land of
Uz, whose
name
{\ADD{was}}
Job; and that
man was
perfect and
upright, and one that
feared
God, and
eschewed
evil.

\VS{2}And there were
born unto him
seven
sons and
three
daughters.

\VS{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.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1.3 }{\FT{substance: or, cattle}}}\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1.3 }{\FT{household: or, husbandry}}}\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1.3 }{\FT{men: Heb. sons}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{4}And his
sons
went and
feasted
{\ADD{in their}}
houses, every
one his
day; and
sent and
called for their
three
sisters to
eat and to
drink with them.

\VS{5}And it was so, when the
days of
{\ADD{their}}
feasting were gone
about, that
Job
sent and
sanctified them, and rose up
early in the
morning, and
offered burnt
offerings
{\ADD{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.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 1.5 }{\FT{continually: Heb. all the days}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{6}¶ Now there was a
day when the
sons of
God
came to
present themselves before the
{\ND{LORD}}, and
Satan
came also
among them.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 1.6 }{\FT{Satan: Heb. the adversary}}}\FTNT{††}{{\FR 1.6 }{\FT{among: Heb. in the midst of}}}

\VS{7}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto
Satan,
Whence
comest thou? Then
Satan
answered the
{\ND{LORD}}, and
said, From going to and
fro in the
earth, and from walking up and
down in it.

\VS{8}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto
Satan, Hast thou
considered my
servant
Job, that
{\ADD{there is}} none like him in the
earth, a
perfect and an
upright
man, one that
feareth
God, and
escheweth
evil?\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 1.8 }{\FT{considered: Heb. set thy heart on}}}

\VS{9}Then
Satan
answered the
{\ND{LORD}}, and
said, Doth
Job
fear
God for
nought?

\VS{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.\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 1.10 }{\FT{substance: or, cattle}}}

\VS{11}But put
forth thine
hand now, and
touch all that he hath, and he will
curse thee to thy
face.\FTNT{***}{{\FR 1.11 }{\FT{and he…: Heb. if he curse thee not to thy face}}}

\VS{12}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto
Satan, Behold, all that he hath
{\ADD{is}} in thy
power; only upon himself put not
forth thine
hand. So
Satan went
forth from the
presence of the
{\ND{LORD}}.\FTNT{†††}{{\FR 1.12 }{\FT{power: Heb. hand}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{13}¶ And there was a
day when his
sons and his
daughters
{\ADD{were}}
eating and
drinking
wine in their
eldest
brother’s
house:

\VS{14}And there
came a
messenger unto
Job, and
said, The
oxen were
plowing, and the
asses
feeding
beside them:

\VS{15}And the
Sabeans
fell
{\ADD{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.

\VS{16}While he
{\ADD{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.\FTNT{‡‡‡}{{\FR 1.16 }{\FT{The fire…: or, A great fire}}}

\VS{17}While he
{\ADD{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.\FTNT{§§§}{{\FR 1.17 }{\FT{fell: Heb. rushed}}}

\VS{18}While he
{\ADD{was}} yet
speaking, there
came also another, and
said, Thy
sons and thy
daughters
{\ADD{were}}
eating and
drinking
wine in their
eldest
brother’s
house:

\VS{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.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 1.19 }{\FT{from…: Heb. from aside, etc}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{20}Then
Job
arose, and
rent his
mantle, and
shaved his
head, and fell
down upon the
ground, and
worshipped,\FTNT{†}{{\FR 1.20 }{\FT{mantle: or, robe}}}

\VS{21}And
said,
Naked came I
out of my
mother’s
womb, and
naked shall I
return thither: the
{\ND{LORD}}
gave, and the
{\ND{LORD}} hath taken
away;
blessed be the
name of the
{\ND{LORD}}.

\VS{22}In all this
Job
sinned not, nor
charged
God
foolishly.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 1.22 }{\FT{charged…: or, attributed folly to God}}}




\par }\Chap{2}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Again there was a
day when the
sons of
God
came to
present themselves before the
{\ND{LORD}}, and
Satan
came also
among them to
present himself before the
{\ND{LORD}}.

\VS{2}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto
Satan, From
whence
comest thou? And
Satan
answered the
{\ND{LORD}}, and
said, From going to and
fro in the
earth, and from walking up and
down in it.

\VS{3}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto
Satan, Hast
thou
considered my
servant
Job, that
{\ADD{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.\FTNT{*}{{\FR 2.3 }{\FT{to destroy…: Heb. to swallow him up}}}

\VS{4}And
Satan
answered the
{\ND{LORD}}, and
said,
Skin for
skin, yea, all that a
man hath will he
give for his
life.

\VS{5}But put
forth thine
hand now, and
touch his
bone and his
flesh, and he will
curse thee to thy
face.

\VS{6}And the
{\ND{LORD}}
said unto
Satan, Behold, he
{\ADD{is}} in thine
hand; but
save his
life.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 2.6 }{\FT{but: or, only}}}


\par }{\PP \VS{7}¶ So
went
Satan
forth from the
presence of the
{\ND{LORD}}, and
smote
Job with
sore
boils from the
sole of his
foot unto his
crown.

\VS{8}And he
took him a
potsherd to
scrape himself withal; and he sat
down
among the
ashes.


\par }{\PP \VS{9}¶ Then
said his
wife unto him, Dost thou still
retain thine
integrity?
curse
God, and
die.

\VS{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.


\par }{\PP \VS{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.

\VS{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.

\VS{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
{\ADD{his}}
grief was
very
great.




\par }\Chap{3}{\PP \VerseOne{1}After this
opened
Job his
mouth, and
cursed his
day.

\VS{2}And
Job
spake, and
said,\FTNT{*}{{\FR 3.2 }{\FT{spake: Heb. answered}}}

\VS{3}Let the
day
perish wherein I was
born, and the
night
{\ADD{in which}} it was
said, There is a man
child
conceived.

\VS{4}Let that
day be
darkness; let not
God
regard it from
above, neither let the
light
shine upon it.

\VS{5}Let
darkness and the shadow of
death
stain it; let a
cloud
dwell upon it; let the
blackness of the
day
terrify it.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 3.5 }{\FT{stain: or, challenge}}}\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 3.5 }{\FT{let the…: or, let them terrify it, as those who have a bitter day}}}

\VS{6}As
{\ADD{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.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 3.6 }{\FT{let it not be…: or, let it not rejoice among the days}}}

\VS{7}Lo, let that
night be
solitary, let no joyful
voice
come therein.

\VS{8}Let them
curse it that
curse the
day, who are
ready to raise
up their
mourning.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 3.8 }{\FT{their…: or, leviathan}}}

\VS{9}Let the
stars of the
twilight thereof be
dark; let it
look for
light, but
{\ADD{have}} none; neither let it
see the
dawning of the
day:\FTNT{††}{{\FR 3.9 }{\FT{the dawning…: Heb. the eyelids of the morning}}}

\VS{10}Because it shut not
up the
doors of my
{\ADD{mother’s}}
womb, nor
hid
sorrow from mine
eyes.


\par }{\PP \VS{11}Why
died I not from the
womb?
{\ADD{why}} did I
{\ADD{not}} give up the
ghost when I came
out of the
belly?

\VS{12}Why did the
knees
prevent me? or why the
breasts that I should
suck?

\VS{13}For now should I have lain
still and been
quiet, I should have
slept: then had I been at
rest,

\VS{14}With
kings and
counsellors of the
earth, which
built desolate
places for themselves;

\VS{15}Or with
princes that had
gold, who
filled their
houses with
silver:

\VS{16}Or as an
hidden untimely
birth I had not been; as
infants
{\ADD{which}} never
saw
light.

\VS{17}There the
wicked
cease
{\ADD{from}}
troubling; and there the
weary be at
rest.\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 3.17 }{\FT{weary: Heb. wearied in strength}}}

\VS{18}{\ADD{There}} the
prisoners
rest
together; they
hear not the
voice of the
oppressor.

\VS{19}The
small and
great are there; and the
servant
{\ADD{is}}
free from his
master.


\par }{\PP \VS{20}Wherefore is
light
given to him that is in
misery, and
life unto the
bitter
{\ADD{in}}
soul;

\VS{21}Which
long for
death, but it
{\ADD{cometh}} not; and
dig for it more than for hid
treasures;\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 3.21 }{\FT{long: Heb. wait}}}

\VS{22}Which
rejoice
exceedingly,
{\ADD{and}} are
glad, when they can
find the
grave?

\VS{23}{\ADD{Why is light given}} to a
man whose
way is
hid, and whom
God hath hedged
in?

\VS{24}For my
sighing
cometh
before I
eat, and my
roarings are poured
out like the
waters.\FTNT{***}{{\FR 3.24 }{\FT{I eat: Heb. my meat}}}

\VS{25}For the thing which I
greatly
feared is
come upon me, and that which I was
afraid of is
come unto me.\FTNT{†††}{{\FR 3.25 }{\FT{the thing…: Heb. I feared a fear, and it came upon me}}}

\VS{26}I was not in
safety, neither had I
rest, neither was I
quiet; yet
trouble
came.




\par }\Chap{4}{\PP \VerseOne{1}Then
Eliphaz the
Temanite
answered and
said,

\VS{2}{\ADD{If}} we
assay to
commune with thee, wilt thou be
grieved? but who
can
withhold himself from
speaking?\FTNT{*}{{\FR 4.2 }{\FT{to…: Heb. a word}}}\FTNT{†}{{\FR 4.2 }{\FT{withhold…: Heb. refrain from words?}}}

\VS{3}Behold, thou hast
instructed
many, and thou hast
strengthened the
weak
hands.

\VS{4}Thy
words have
upholden him that was
falling, and thou hast
strengthened the
feeble
knees.

\VS{5}But now it is
come upon thee, and thou
faintest; it
toucheth thee, and thou art
troubled.

\VS{6}{\ADD{Is}} not
{\ADD{this}} thy
fear, thy
confidence, thy
hope, and the
uprightness of thy
ways?


\par }{\PP \VS{7}Remember, I pray thee, who
{\ADD{ever}}
perished, being
innocent? or
where were the
righteous cut
off?

\VS{8}Even as I have
seen, they that
plow
iniquity, and
sow
wickedness,
reap the same.

\VS{9}By the
blast of
God they
perish, and by the
breath of his
nostrils are they
consumed.\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 4.9 }{\FT{by the breath…: that is, by his anger}}}

\VS{10}The
roaring of the
lion, and the
voice of the fierce
lion, and the
teeth of the young
lions, are
broken.

\VS{11}The old
lion
perisheth for
lack of
prey, and the stout
lion’s
whelps are scattered
abroad.


\par }{\PP \VS{12}Now a
thing was secretly
brought to me, and mine
ear
received a
little thereof.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 4.12 }{\FT{secretly: Heb. by stealth}}}

\VS{13}In
thoughts from the
visions of the
night, when deep
sleep
falleth on
men,

\VS{14}Fear
came upon me, and
trembling, which made
all my
bones to
shake.\FTNT{**}{{\FR 4.14 }{\FT{came…: Heb. met}}}\FTNT{††}{{\FR 4.14 }{\FT{all: Heb. the multitude of}}}

\VS{15}Then a
spirit
passed before my
face; the
hair of my
flesh stood
up:

\VS{16}It stood
still, but I could not
discern the
form thereof: an
image
{\ADD{was}} before mine
eyes,
{\ADD{there was}}
silence, and I
heard a
voice,
{\ADD{saying}},\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 4.16 }{\FT{there…: or, I heard a still voice}}}

\VS{17}Shall mortal
man be more
just than
God? shall a
man be more
pure than his
maker?

\VS{18}Behold, he put no
trust in his
servants; and his
angels he
charged with
folly:\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 4.18 }{\FT{and his…: or, nor in his angels, in whom he put light}}}

\VS{19}How much
less
{\ADD{in}} them that
dwell in
houses of
clay, whose
foundation
{\ADD{is}} in the
dust,
{\ADD{which}} are
crushed
before the
moth?

\VS{20}They are
destroyed from
morning to
evening: they
perish for
ever without any
regarding
{\ADD{it}}.\FTNT{***}{{\FR 4.20 }{\FT{destroyed: Heb. beaten in pieces}}}

\VS{21}Doth not their
excellency
{\ADD{which is}} in them go
away? they
die, even without
wisdom.

be any that will
answer thee; and to which of the
saints wilt thou
turn?\FTNT{*}{{\FR 5.1 }{\FT{turn: or, look?}}}

\VS{2}For
wrath
killeth the foolish
man, and
envy
slayeth the silly
one.\FTNT{†}{{\FR 5.2 }{\FT{envy: or, indignation}}}

\VS{3}I have
seen the
foolish taking
root: but
suddenly I
cursed his
habitation.

\VS{4}His
children are
far from
safety, and they are
crushed in the
gate, neither
{\ADD{is there}} any to
deliver
{\ADD{them}}.

\VS{5}Whose
harvest the
hungry eateth
up, and
taketh it even
out of the
thorns, and the
robber swalloweth
up their
substance.

affliction cometh not
forth of the
dust, neither doth
trouble spring
out of the
ground;\FTNT{‡}{{\FR 5.6 }{\FT{affliction: or, iniquity}}}

fly
upward.\FTNT{§}{{\FR 5.7 }{\FT{trouble: or, labour}}}\FTNT{**}{{\FR 5.7 }{\FT{sparks…: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly}}}

seek unto
God, and unto

doeth great
things and
unsearchable; marvellous
things without
number:\FTNT{††}{{\FR 5.9 }{\FT{unsearchable: Heb. there is no search}}}\FTNT{‡‡}{{\FR 5.9 }{\FT{without…: Heb. till there be no number}}}

sendeth
waters
upon the
fields:\FTNT{§§}{{\FR 5.10 }{\FT{fields: Heb. outplaces}}}

\VS{11}To set
up on
high those that be
low; that those which
mourn may be
exalted to
safety.

disappointeth the
devices of the
crafty, so that their
hands cannot
perform
{\ADD{their}}
enterprise.\FTNT{***}{{\FR 5.12 }{\FT{their enterprise: or, any thing}}}

\VS{13}He
taketh the
wise in their own
craftiness: and the
counsel of the
froward is carried
headlong.

meet with
darkness in the
daytime, and
grope in the
noonday as in the
night.\FTNT{†††}{{\FR 5.14 }{\FT{meet…: or, run into}}}

saveth the
