Job 30

Unto me men gave ear, and waited, And kept silence for my counsel.

I chose out their way, and sat `as' chief, And dwelt as a king in the army, As one that comforteth the mourners.

And they waited for me as for the rain; And they opened their mouth wide `as' for the latter rain.

I smiled on them, when they had no confidence; And the light of my countenance they cast not down.

After my words they spake not again; And my speech distilled upon them.

The proud beasts have not trodden it, Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby.

If his children be multiplied, it is for the sword; And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.

He breaketh open a shaft away from where men sojourn; They are forgotten of the foot; They hang afar from men, they swing to and fro.

Surely my lips shall not speak unrighteousness, Neither shall my tongue utter deceit.

Job 28

My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go: My heart shall not reproach `me' so long as I live.

Destruction and Death say, We have heard a rumor thereof with our ears.

But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

And I brake the jaws of the unrighteous, And plucked the prey out of his teeth.

I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: My justice was as a robe and a diadem.

I will teach you concerning the hand of God; That which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

The stones thereof are the place of sapphires, And it hath dust of gold.

No mention shall be made of coral or of crystal: Yea, the price of wisdom is above rubies.

When the Almighty was yet with me, And my children were about me;

When my steps were washed with butter, And the rock poured me out streams of oil!

For he looketh to the ends of the earth, And seeth under the whole heaven;

He lieth down rich, but he shall not be gathered `to his fathers'; He openeth his eyes, and he is not.

My glory is fresh in me, And my bow is renewed in my hand.

For when the ear heard me', then it blessed me; And when the eye saw me', it gave witness unto me:

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, And the heritage of oppressors, which they receive from the Almighty:

And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; And to depart from evil is understanding.

Then I said, I shall die in my nest, And I shall multiply my days as the sand:

Then did he see it, and declare it; He established it, yea, and searched it out.

The deep saith, It is not in me; And the sea saith, It is not with me.
