receive of the Almighty.
Job27:14 If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword: and his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Job27:15 Those that remain of him shall be buried in death: and his widows shall not weep.
Job27:16 Though he heap up silver as the dust, and prepare raiment as the clay;
Job27:17 He may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.
Job27:18 He buildeth his house as a moth, and as a booth that the keeper maketh.
Job27:19 The rich man shall lie down, but he shall not be gathered: he openeth his eyes, and he is not.
Job27:20 Terrors take hold on him as waters, a tempest stealeth him away in the night.
Job27:21 The east wind carrieth him away, and he departeth: and as a storm hurleth him out of his place.
Job27:22 For God shall cast upon him, and not spare: he would fain flee out of his hand.
Job27:23 Men shall clap their hands at him, and shall hiss him out of his place.
Job28:1 Surely there is a vein for the silver, and a place for gold where they fine it.
Job28:2 Iron is taken out of the earth, and brass is molten out of the stone.
Job28:3 He setteth an end to darkness, and searcheth out all perfection: the stones of darkness, and the shadow of death.
Job28:4 The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.
Job28:5 As for the earth, out of it cometh bread: and under it is turned up as it were fire.
Job28:6 The stones of it are the place of sapphires: and it hath dust of gold.
Job28:7 There is a path which no fowl knoweth, and which the vulture's eye hath not seen:
Job28:8 The lion's whelps have not trodden it, nor the fierce lion passed by it.
Job28:9 He putteth forth his hand upon the rock; he overturneth the mountains by the roots.
Job28:10 He cutteth out rivers among the rocks; and his eye seeth every precious thing.
Job28:11 He bindeth the floods from overflowing; and the thing that is hid bringeth he forth to light.
Job28:12 But where shall wisdom be found? and where is the place of understanding?
Job28:13 Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
Job28:14 The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
Job28:15 It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
Job28:16 It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
Job28:17 The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
Job28:18 No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
Job28:19 The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
Job28:20 Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
Job28:21 Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
Job28:22 Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
Job28:23 God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
Job28:24 For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
Job28:25 To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
Job28:26 When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
Job28:27 Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
Job28:28 And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the LORD, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.
Job29:1 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
Job29:2 Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;
Job29:3 When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;
Job29:4 As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
Job29:5 When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;
Job29:6 When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
Job29:7 When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!
Job29:8 The young men saw me, and hid themselves: and the aged arose, and stood up.
Job29:9 The princes refrained talking, and laid their hand on their mouth.
Job29:10 The nobles held their peace, and their tongue cleaved to the roof of their mouth.
Job29:11 When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:
Job29:12 Because I delivered the poor that cried, and the fatherless, and him that had none to help him.
Job29:13 The blessing of him that was ready to perish came upon me: and I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Job29:14 I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my judgment was as a robe and a diadem.
Job29:15 I was eyes to the blind, and feet was I to the lame.
Job29:16 I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.
Job29:17 And I brake the jaws of the wicked, and plucked the spoil out of his teeth.
Job29:18 Then I said, I shall die in my nest, and I shall multiply my days as the sand.
Job29:19 My root was spread out by the waters, and the dew lay all night upon my branch.
Job29:20 My glory was fresh in me, and my bow was renewed in my hand.
Job29:21 Unto me men gave ear, and waited, and kept silence at my counsel.
Job29:22 After my words they spake not again; and my speech dropped upon them.
Job29:23 And they waited for me as for the rain; and they opened their mouth wide as for the latter rain.
Job29:24 If I laughed on them, they believed it not; and the light of my countenance they cast not down.
Job29:25 I chose out their way, and sat chief, and dwelt as a king in the army, as one that comforteth the mourners.
Job30:1 But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.
Job30:2 Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?
Job30:3 For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.
Job30:4 Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.
Job30:5 They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)
Job30:6 To dwell in the cliffs of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.
Job30:7 Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.
Job30:8 They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.
Job30:9 And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.
Job30:10 They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.
Job30:11 Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.
Job30:12 Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.
Job30:13 They mar my path, they set forward my calamity, they have no helper.
Job30:14 They came upon me as a wide breaking in of waters: in the desolation they rolled themselves upon me.
Job30:15 Terrors are turned upon me: they pursue my soul as the wind: and my welfare passeth away as a cloud.
Job30:16 And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.
