1 But Job answered and said, Cross refs
2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations. Cross refs
3 Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on. Cross refs
4 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled? Cross refs
5 Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth. Cross refs
6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh. Cross refs
7 Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power? Cross refs
8 Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes. Cross refs
9 Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them. Cross refs
10 Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf. Cross refs
11 They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance. Cross refs
12 They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ. Cross refs
13 They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave. Cross refs
14 Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways. Cross refs
15 What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him? Cross refs
16 Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me. Cross refs
17 How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger. Cross refs
18 They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away. Cross refs
19 God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it. Cross refs
20 His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty. Cross refs
21 For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst? Cross refs
22 Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high. Cross refs
23 One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet. Cross refs
24 His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow. Cross refs
25 And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure. Cross refs
26 They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them. Cross refs
27 Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me. Cross refs
28 For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked? Cross refs
29 Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens, Cross refs
30 That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath. Cross refs
31 Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done? Cross refs
32 Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb. Cross refs
33 The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him. Cross refs
34 How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood? Cross refs
