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.

Let the day perish wherein I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a man child conceived.

Let darkness and the shadow of death stain it; let a cloud dwell upon it; let the blackness of the day terrify it.

Lo, let that night be solitary, let no joyful voice come therein.

Let the stars of the twilight thereof be dark; let it look for light, but have none; neither let it see the dawning of the day:

Why died I not from the womb? why did I not give up the ghost when I came out of the belly?

For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

Or with princes that had gold, who filled their houses with silver:

There the wicked cease from troubling; and there the weary be at rest.

The small and great are there; and the servant is free from his master.

Which long for death, but it cometh not; and dig for it more than for hid treasures;

Why is light given to a man whose way is hid, and whom God hath hedged in?

For the thing which I greatly feared is come upon me, and that which I was afraid of is come unto me.

Behold, thou hast instructed many, and thou hast strengthened the weak hands.

Thy words have upholden him that was falling, and thou hast strengthened the feeble knees.

For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat.

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water?

For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God.

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.

For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

Even that it would please God to destroy me; that he would let loose his hand, and cut me off!

My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

How long wilt thou speak these things? and how long shall the words of thy mouth be like a strong wind?

Ephraim feedeth on wind, and followeth after the east wind: he daily increaseth lies and desolation; and they do make a covenant with the Assyrians, and oil is carried into Egypt.

That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive;
