JOB CHAPTER 30
- Job 30:1 And now, laughed at me, Have the younger in days than I, Whose fathers I have loathed to set With the dogs of my flock.
- 30:2 Also -- the power of their hands, why [is it] to me? On them hath old age perished.
- 30:3 With want and with famine gloomy, Those fleeing to a dry place, Formerly a desolation and waste,
- 30:4 Those cropping mallows near a shrub, And broom-roots [is] their food.
- 30:5 From the midst they are cast out, (They shout against them as a thief),
- 30:6 In a frightful place of valleys to dwell, Holes of earth and clefts.
- 30:7 Among shrubs they do groan, Under nettles they are gathered together.
- 30:8 Sons of folly -- even sons without name, They have been smitten from the land.
- 30:9 And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword.
- Job 30:10 They have abominated me, They have kept far from me, And from before me have not spared to spit.
- 30:11 Because His cord He loosed and afflicteth me, And the bridle from before me, They have cast away.
- 30:12 On the right hand doth a brood arise, My feet they have cast away, And they raise up against me, Their paths of calamity.
- 30:13 They have broken down my path, By my calamity they profit, 'He hath no helper.'
- 30:14 As a wide breach they come, Under the desolation have rolled themselves.
- 30:15 He hath turned against me terrors, It pursueth as the wind mine abundance, And as a thick cloud, Hath my safety passed away.
- 30:16 And now, in me my soul poureth itself out, Seize me do days of affliction.
- 30:17 At night my bone hath been pierced in me, And mine eyelids do not lie down.
- 30:18 By the abundance of power, Is my clothing changed, As the mouth of my coat it doth gird me.
- 30:19 Casting me into mire, And I am become like dust and ashes.
- Job 30:20 I cry unto Thee, And Thou dost not answer me, I have stood, and Thou dost consider me.
- 30:21 Thou art turned to be fierce to me, With the strength of Thy hand, Thou oppresest me.
- 30:22 Thou dost lift me up, On the wind Thou dost cause me to ride, And Thou meltest -- Thou levellest me.
- 30:23 For I have known To death Thou dost bring me back, And [to] the house appointed for all living.
- 30:24 Surely not against the heap Doth He send forth the hand, Though in its ruin they have safety.
- 30:25 Did not I weep for him whose day is hard? Grieved hath my soul for the needy.
- 30:26 When good I expected, then cometh evil, And I wait for light, and darkness cometh.
- 30:27 My bowels have boiled, and have not ceased, Gone before me have days of affliction.
- 30:28 Mourning I have gone without the sun, I have risen, in an assembly I cry.
- 30:29 A brother I have been to dragons, And a companion to daughters of the ostrich.
- Job 30:30 My skin hath been black upon me, And my bone hath burned from heat,
- 30:31 And my harp doth become mourning, And my organ the sound of weeping.

JOB CHAPTER 31
- Job 31:1 A covenant I made for mine eyes, And what -- do I attend to a virgin?
- 31:2 And what [is] the portion of God from above? And the inheritance of the Mighty from the heights?
- 31:3 Is not calamity to the perverse? And strangeness to workers of iniquity?
- 31:4 Doth not He see my ways, And all my steps number?
- 31:5 If I have walked with vanity, And my foot doth hasten to deceit,
- 31:6 He doth weigh me in righteous balances, And God doth know my integrity.
- 31:7 If my step doth turn aside from the way, And after mine eyes hath my heart gone, And to my hands cleaved hath blemish,
- 31:8 Let me sow -- and another eat, And my products let be rooted out.
- 31:9 If my heart hath been enticed by woman, And by the opening of my neighbour I laid wait,
- Job 31:10 Grind to another let my wife, And over her let others bend.
- 31:11 For it [is] a wicked thing, and a judicial iniquity;
- 31:12 For a fire it [is], to destruction it consumeth, And among all mine increase doth take root,
- 31:13 If I despise the cause of my man-servant, And of my handmaid, In their contending with me,
- 31:14 Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him?
- 31:15 Did not He that made me in the womb make him? Yea, prepare us in the womb doth One.
- 31:16 If I withhold from pleasure the poor, And the eyes of the widow do consume,
- 31:17 And I do eat my morsel by myself, And the orphan hath not eat of it,
- 31:18 (But from my youth He grew up with me as [with] a father, And from the belly of my mother I am led.)
- 31:19 If I see [any] perishing without clothing, And there is no covering to the needy,
- Job 31:20 If his loins have not blessed me, And from the fleece of my sheep He doth not warm himself,
- 31:21 If I have waved at the fatherless my hand, When I see in [him] the gate of my court,
- 31:22 My shoulder from its blade let fall, And mine arm from the bone be broken.
- 31:23 For a dread unto me [is] calamity [from] God, And because of His excellency I am not able.
- 31:24 If I have made gold my confidence, And to the pure gold have said, 'My trust,'
- 31:25 If I rejoice because great [is] my wealth, And because abundance hath my hand found,
- 31:26 If I see the light when it shineth, And the precious moon walking,
- 31:27 And my heart is enticed in secret, And my hand doth kiss my mouth,
- 31:28 It also [is] a judicial iniquity, For I had lied to God above.
- 31:29 If I rejoice at the ruin of my hater, And stirred up myself when evil found him,
- Job 31:30 Yea, I have not suffered my mouth to sin, To ask with an oath his life.
- 31:31 If not -- say ye, O men of my tent, 'O that we had of his flesh, we are not satisfied.'
- 31:32 In the street doth not lodge a stranger, My doors to the traveller I open.
- 31:33 If I have covered as Adam my transgressions, To hide in my bosom mine iniquity,
- 31:34 Because I fear a great multitude, And the contempt of families doth affright me, Then I am silent, I go not out of the opening.
- 31:35 Who giveth to me a hearing? lo, my mark. The Mighty One doth answer me, And a bill hath mine adversary written.
- 31:36 If not -- on my shoulder I take it up, I bind it a crown on myself.
- 31:37 The number of my steps I tell Him, As a leader I approach Him.
- 31:38 If against me my land doth cry out, And together its furrows weep,
- 31:39 If its strength I consumed without money, And the life of its possessors, I have caused to breathe out,
- Job 31:40 Instead of wheat let a thorn go forth, And instead of barley a useless weed! The words of Job are finished.

JOB CHAPTER 32
- Job 32:1 And these three men cease from answering Job, for he [is] righteous in his own eyes,
- 32:2 and burn doth the anger of Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram; against Job hath his anger burned, because of his justifying himself more than God;
- 32:3 and against his three friends hath his anger burned, because that they have not found an answer, and condemn Job.
- 32:4 And Elihu hath waited earnestly beside Job with words, for they are older than he in days.
- 32:5 And Elihu seeth that there is no answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger burneth.
- 32:6 And Elihu son of Barachel the Buzite answereth and saith: -- Young I [am] in days, and ye [are] age Therefore I have feared, And am afraid of shewing you my opinion.
- 32:7 I said: Days do speak, And multitude of years teach wisdom.
- 32:8 Surely a spirit is in man, And the breath of the Mighty One Doth cause them to understand.
- 32:9 The multitude are not wise, Nor do the aged understand judgment.
- Job 32:10 Therefore I have said: Hearken to me, I do shew my opinion -- even I.
- 32:11 Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.
- 32:12 And unto you I attend, And lo, there is no reasoner for Job, [Or] answerer of his sayings among you.
- 32:13 Lest ye say, We have found wisdom, God doth thrust him away, not man.
- 32:14 And he hath not set in array words for me, And with your sayings I do not answer him.
- 32:15 (They have broken down, They have not answered again, They removed from themselves words.
- 32:16 And I have waited, but they do not speak, For they have stood still, They have not answered any more.)
- 32:17 I answer, even I -- my share, I shew my opinion -- even I.
- 32:18 For I have been full of words, Distressed me hath the spirit of my breast,
- 32:19 Lo, my breast [is] as wine not opened, Like new bottles it is broken up.
- Job 32:20 I speak, and there is refreshment to me, I open my lips and answer.
- 32:21 Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,
- 32:22 For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.
|| 32 || Young's Literal OT Index || 34 ||
JOB CHAPTER 33
- Job 33:1 And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and [to] all my words give ear.
- 33:2 Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.
- 33:3 Of the uprightness of my heart [are] my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.
- 33:4 The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.
- 33:5 If thou art able -- answer me, Set in array before me -- station thyself.
- 33:6 Lo, I [am], according to thy word, for God, From the clay I -- I also, have been formed.
- 33:7 Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy.
- 33:8 Surely -- thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:
- 33:9 'Pure [am] I, without transgression, Innocent [am] I, and I have no iniquity.
- Job 33:10 Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him,
- 33:11 He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.'
- 33:12 Lo, [in] this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.
- 33:13 Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When [for] all His matters He answereth not?
- 33:14 For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.)
- 33:15 In a dream -- a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.
- 33:16 Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their instruction sealeth:
- 33:17 To turn aside man [from] doing, And pride from man He concealeth.
- 33:18 He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart.
- 33:19 And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones [is] enduring.
- Job 33:20 And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.
- 33:21 His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen!
- 33:22 And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death.
- 33:23 If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter -- one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness:
- 33:24 Then He doth favour him and saith, 'Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.'
- 33:25 Fresher [is] his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth.
- 33:26 He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness.
- 33:27 He looketh on men, and saith, 'I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me.
- 33:28 He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.'
- 33:29 Lo, all these doth God work, Twice -- thrice with man,
- Job 33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living.
- 33:31 Attend, O Job, hearken to me, Keep silent, and I -- I do speak.
- 33:32 If there are words -- answer me, Speak, for I have a desire to justify thee.
- 33:33 If there are not -- hearken thou to me, Keep silent, and I teach thee wisdom.

JOB CHAPTER 34
- Job 34:1 And Elihu answereth and saith:
- 34:2 Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.
- 34:3 For the ear doth try words, And the palate tasteth to eat.
- 34:4 Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what [is] good.
- 34:5 For Job hath said, 'I have been righteous, And God hath turned aside my right,
- 34:6 Against my right do I lie? Mortal [is] mine arrow -- without transgression.'
- 34:7 Who [is] a man like Job? He drinketh scoffing like water,
- 34:8 And he hath travelled for company With workers of iniquity, So as to go with men of wickedness.
- 34:9 For he hath said, 'It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'
- Job 34:10 Therefore, O men of heart, hearken to me; Far be it from God to do wickedness, And [from] the Mighty to do perverseness:
- 34:11 For the work of man he repayeth to him, And according to the path of each He doth cause him to find.
- 34:12 Yea, truly, God doth not do wickedly, And the Mighty doth not pervert judgment.
- 34:13 Who hath inspected for Himself the earth? And who hath placed all the habitable world?
- 34:14 If He doth set on him His heart, His spirit and his breath unto Him He gathereth.
- 34:15 Expire doth all flesh together, And man to dust returneth.
- 34:16 And if [there is] understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words.
- 34:17 Yea, doth one hating justice govern? Or the Most Just dost thou condemn?
- 34:18 Who hath said to a king -- 'Worthless,' Unto princes -- 'Wicked?'
- 34:19 That hath not accepted the person of princes, Nor hath known the rich before the poor, For a work of His hands [are] all of them.
- Job 34:20 [In] a moment they die, and at midnight Shake do people, and they pass away, And they remove the mighty without hand.
- 34:21 For His eyes [are] on the ways of each, And all his steps He doth see.
- 34:22 There is no darkness nor death-shade, For workers of iniquity to be hidden there;
- 34:23 For He doth not suffer man any more, To go unto God in judgment,
- 34:24 He breaketh the mighty -- no searching! And He appointeth others in their stead.
- 34:25 Therefore He knoweth their works, And He hath overturned by night, And they are bruised.
- 34:26 As wicked He hath stricken them, In the place of beholders.
- 34:27 Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely,
- 34:28 To cause to come in unto Him The cry of the poor, And the cry of the afflicted He heareth.
- 34:29 And He giveth rest, and who maketh wrong? And hideth the face, and who beholdeth it? And in reference to a nation and to a man, [It is] the same.
- Job 34:30 From the reigning of a profane man, From the snares of a people;
- 34:31 For unto God hath any said: 'I have taken away, I do not corruptly,
- 34:32 Besides [that which] I see, shew Thou me, If iniquity I have done -- I do not add?'
- 34:33 By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused -- That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak.
- 34:34 Let men of heart say to me, And a wise man is hearkening to me.
- 34:35 Job -- not with knowledge doth he speak, And his words [are] not with wisdom.
- 34:36 My Father! let Job be tried -- unto victory, Because of answers for men of iniquity,
- 34:37 For he doth add to his sin, Transgression among us he vomiteth, And multiplieth his sayings to God.

JOB CHAPTER 35
- Job 35:1 And Elihu answereth and saith: --
- 35:2 This hast thou reckoned for judgment: Thou hast said -- 'My righteousness [is] more than God's?'
- 35:3 For thou sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'
- 35:4 I return thee words, and thy friends with thee,
- 35:5 Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.
- 35:6 If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?
- 35:7 If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?
- 35:8 For a man like thyself [is] thy wickedness, And for a son of man thy righteousness.
- 35:9 Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.
- Job 35:10 And none said, 'Where [is] God my maker? Giving songs in the night,
- 35:11 Teaching us more than the beasts of the earth, Yea, than the fowl of the heavens He maketh us wiser.'
- 35:12 There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.
- 35:13 Surely vanity God doth not hear, And the Mighty doth not behold it.
- 35:14 Yea, though thou sayest thou dost not behold Him, Judgment [is] before Him, and stay for Him.
- 35:15 And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.
- 35:16 And Job [with] vanity doth open his mouth, Without knowledge words he multiplieth.
