18 12 17 "He leadeth counsellors away spoiled, and maketh the judges fools."

18 13 4 "But ye [are] forgers of lies, ye [are] all physicians of no value."

18 13 5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.

18 13 6 "Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips."

18 13 7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?

18 13 8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?

18 13 16 He also [shall be] my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

18 13 17 "Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears."

18 13 18 "Behold now, I have ordered [my] cause; I know that I shall be justified."

18 15 3 Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches wherewith he can do no good?

18 15 4 "Yea, thou castest off fear, and restrainest prayer before God."

18 15 5 "For thy mouth uttereth thine iniquity, and thou choosest the tongue of the crafty."

18 15 6 "Thine own mouth condemneth thee, and not I: yea, thine own lips testify against thee."

18 15 7 [Art] thou the first man [that] was born? or wast thou made before the hills?

18 15 8 Hast thou heard the secret of God? and dost thou restrain wisdom to thyself?

18 15 16 "How much more abominable and filthy [is] man, which drinketh iniquity like water?"

18 15 17 "I will shew thee, hear me; and that [which] I have seen I will declare;"

18 15 18 "Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid [it]:"

18 16 15 "I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust."

18 16 16 "My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids [is] the shadow of death;"

18 16 17 Not for [any] injustice in mine hands: also my prayer [is] pure.

18 16 18 "O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place."

18 16 19 "Also now, behold, my witness [is] in heaven, and my record [is] on high."

18 16 20 My friends scorn me: [but] mine eye poureth out [tears] unto God.

18 16 21 "O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man [pleadeth] for his neighbour!"

18 16 22 "When a few years are come, then I shall go the way [whence] I shall not return."

18 17 1 "My breath is corrupt, my days are extinct, the graves [are ready] for me."

18 17 2 [Are there] not mockers with me? and doth not mine eye continue in their provocation?

18 17 3 "Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who [is] he [that] will strike hands with me?"

18 17 4 For thou hast hid their heart from understanding: therefore shalt thou not exalt [them].

18 17 5 "He that speaketh flattery to [his] friends, even the eyes of his children shall fail."

18 17 6 He hath made me also a byword of the people; and aforetime I was as a tabret.

18 17 12 They change the night into day: the light [is] short because of darkness.

18 19 5 "If indeed ye will magnify [yourselves] against me, and plead against me my reproach:"

18 19 6 "Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net."

18 19 7 "Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but [there is] no judgment."

18 19 8 "He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths."

18 19 9 "He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown [from] my head."

18 19 18 "Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me."

18 19 19 All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.

18 32 22 For I know not to give flattering titles; [in so doing] my maker would soon take me away.

18 33 1 "Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words."

18 33 2 "Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth."

18 33 3 My words [shall be of] the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clear

18 33 5 "If thou canst answer me, set [thy words] in order before me, stand up."

18 33 6 "Behold, I [am] according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay."

18 33 11 "He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths."

18 33 12 "Behold, [in] this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man."

18 33 13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.

18 33 14 "For God speaketh once, yea twice, [yet man] perceiveth it not."

18 33 19 "He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong [p

18 33 29 "Lo, all these [things] worketh God oftentimes with man,"

18 33 32 "If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee."

18 33 33 "If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom."

18 34 1 "Furthermore Elihu answered and said,"

18 34 2 "Hear my words, O ye wise [men]; and give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge."

18 34 3 "For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat."

18 34 4 Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what [is] good.

18 34 5 "For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment."

18 34 6 Should I lie against my right? my wound [is] incurable without transgression.

18 34 7 "What man [is] like Job, [who] drinketh up scorning like water?"

18 34 8 "Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men."

18 34 9 "For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself with God."

18 34 13 Who hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?

18 34 14 "If he set his heart upon man, [if] he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath;"

18 34 15 "All flesh shall perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust."

18 34 16 "If now [thou hast] understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words."

18 34 17 Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just?

18 34 18 "[Is it fit] to say to a king, [Thou art] wicked? [and] to princes, [Ye are] ungodly?"

18 34 35 "Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words [were] without wisdom."

18 34 36 My desire [is that] Job may be tried unto the end because of [his] answers for wicked men.

18 35 8 Thy wickedness [may hurt] a man as thou [art]; and thy righteousness [may profit] the son

18 35 9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make [the oppressed] to cry: they cry out by

18 35 16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vain; he multiplieth words without knowledge.

18 36 1 "Elihu also proceeded, and said,"

18 36 2 "Suffer me a little, and I will shew thee that [I have] yet to speak on God's behalf."

18 36 3 "I will fetch my knowledge from afar, and will ascribe righteousness to my Maker."

18 36 4 For truly my words [shall] not [be] false: he that is perfect in knowledge [is] with thee.

18 36 5 "Behold, God [is] mighty, and despiseth not [any: he is] mighty in strength [and] wisdom."

18 36 6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked: but giveth right to the poor.

18 36 7 "He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings [are they] on the throne; y

18 36 8 "And if [they be] bound in fetters, [and] be holden in cords of affliction;"

18 36 9 "Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded."

18 36 15 "He delivereth the poor in his affliction, and openeth their ears in oppression."

18 36 16 "Even so would he have removed thee out of the strait [into] a broad place, where [there is

18 36 20 "Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place."

18 36 21 "Take heed, regard not iniquity: for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction."

18 36 22 "Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?"

18 36 23 "Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?"

18 36 24 "Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold."

18 36 32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it [not to shine] by [the cloud] that com

18 37 2 "Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound [that] goeth out of his mouth."

18 37 3 "He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth."

18 37 4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay

18 37 9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

18 37 10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

18 37 11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

18 37 12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth

18 37 13 "He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy."

18 37 14 "Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God."

19 105 15 "[Saying], Touch not mine anointed, and do my prophets no harm."

19 105 16 Moreover he called for a famine upon the land: he brake the whole staff of bread.

19 105 17 "He sent a man before them, [even] Joseph, [who] was sold for a servant:"

19 105 18 Whose feet they hurt with fetters: he was laid in iron:

19 105 19 Until the time that his word came: the word of the LORD tried him.

19 105 20 "The king sent and loosed him; [even] the ruler of the people, and let him go free."

19 105 21 "He made him lord of his house, and ruler of all his substance:"

19 105 22 To bind his princes at his pleasure; and teach his senators wisdom.

19 105 23 Israel also came into Egypt; and Jacob sojourned in the land of Ham.

19 105 24 And he increased his people greatly; and made them stronger than their enemies.

19 105 25 "He turned their heart to hate his people, to deal subtilly with his servants."

19 105 26 He sent Moses his servant; [and] Aaron whom he had chosen.

19 105 27 "They shewed his signs among them, and wonders in the land of Ham."

19 105 28 "He sent darkness, and made it dark; and they rebelled not against his word."

19 105 29 "He turned their waters into blood, and slew their fish."

19 105 30 "Their land brought forth frogs in abundance, in the chambers of their kings."

19 105 31 "He spake, and there came divers sorts of flies, [and] lice in all their coasts."

19 105 32 "He gave them hail for rain, [and] flaming fire in their land."

19 105 33 He smote their vines also and their fig trees; and brake the trees of their coasts.

19 105 34 "He spake, and the locusts came, and caterpillers, and that without number,"

19 105 35 "And did eat up all the herbs in their land, and devoured the fruit of their ground."

19 105 36 "He smote also all the firstborn in their land, the chief of all their strength."

19 105 37 He brought them forth also with silver and gold: and [there was] not one feeble [person] am

19 105 38 Egypt was glad when they departed: for the fear of them fell upon them.

19 105 39 He spread a cloud for a covering; and fire to give light in the night.

19 105 40 "[The people] asked, and he brought quails, and satisfied them with the bread of heaven."

19 105 41 "He opened the rock, and the waters gushed out; they ran in the dry places [like] a river."

19 105 42 "For he remembered his holy promise, [and] Abraham his servant."

19 105 43 "And he brought forth his people with joy, [and] his chosen with gladness:"

19 105 44 And gave them the lands of the heathen: and they inherited the labour of the people;

19 105 45 "That they might observe his statutes, and keep his laws. Praise ye the LORD."

19 106 12 Then believed they his words; they sang his praise.

19 106 13 They soon forgat his works; they waited not for his counsel:

19 106 14 "But lusted exceedingly in the wilderness, and tempted God in the desert."

19 106 15 And he gave them their request; but sent leanness into their soul.

19 106 16 "They envied Moses also in the camp, [and] Aaron the saint of the LORD."

19 106 17 "The earth opened and swallowed up Dathan, and covered the company of Abiram."

19 106 18 And a fire was kindled in their company; the flame burned up the wicked.

19 106 19 "They made a calf in Horeb, and worshipped the molten image."

19 106 20 Thus they changed their glory into the similitude of an ox that eateth grass.

19 106 21 "They forgat God their saviour, which had done great things in Egypt;"

19 106 22 "Wondrous works in the land of Ham, [and] terrible things by the Red sea."

19 106 23 "Therefore he said that he would destroy them, had not Moses his chosen stood before him

19 106 24 "Yea, they despised the pleasant land, they believed not his word:"

19 106 25 "But murmured in their tents, [and] hearkened not unto the voice of the LORD."

19 106 26 "Therefore he lifted up his hand against them, to overthrow them in the wilderness:"

19 106 27 "To overthrow their seed also among the nations, and to scatter them in the lands."

19 119 36 "Incline my heart unto thy testimonies, and not to covetousness."

19 119 37 Turn away mine eyes from beholding vanity; [and] quicken thou me in thy way.

19 119 38 "Stablish thy word unto thy servant, who [is devoted] to thy fear."

19 119 39 Turn away my reproach which I fear: for thy judgments [are] good.

19 119 40 "Behold, I have longed after thy precepts: quicken me in thy righteousness."

19 119 41 "VAU. Let thy mercies come also unto me, O LORD, [even] thy salvation, according to thy w

19 119 42 So shall I have wherewith to answer him that reproacheth me: for I trust in thy word.

19 119 43 And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth; for I have hoped in thy judgments.

19 119 44 So shall I keep thy law continually for ever and ever.

19 119 45 And I will walk at liberty: for I seek thy precepts.

19 119 46 "I will speak of thy testimonies also before kings, and will not be ashamed."

19 119 50 This [is] my comfort in my affliction: for thy word hath quickened me.

19 119 51 The proud have had me greatly in derision: [yet] have I not declined from thy law.

19 119 52 "I remembered thy judgments of old, O LORD; and have comforted myself."

19 119 53 Horror hath taken hold upon me because of the wicked that forsake thy law.

19 119 54 Thy statutes have been my songs in the house of my pilgrimage.

19 119 55 "I have remembered thy name, O LORD, in the night, and have kept thy law."

19 119 56 "This I had, because I kept thy precepts."

19 119 57 "CHETH. [Thou art] my portion, O LORD: I have said that I would keep thy words."

19 119 58 I intreated thy favour with [my] whole heart: be merciful unto me according to thy word.

19 119 59 "I thought on my ways, and turned my feet unto thy testimonies."

19 119 60 "I made haste, and delayed not to keep thy commandments."

19 119 61 The bands of the wicked have robbed me: [but] I have not forgotten thy law.

19 119 62 At midnight I will rise to give thanks unto thee because of thy righteous judgments.

19 119 63 "I [am] a companion of all [them] that fear thee, and of them that keep thy precepts."

19 119 64 "The earth, O LORD, is full of thy mercy: teach me thy statutes."

19 119 65 "TETH. Thou hast dealt well with thy servant, O LORD, according unto thy word."

19 119 66 Teach me good judgment and knowledge: for I have believed thy commandments.

19 119 67 Before I was afflicted I went astray: but now have I kept thy word.

19 119 68 "Thou [art] good, and doest good; teach me thy statutes."

19 119 69 The proud have forged a lie against me: [but] I will keep thy precepts with [my] whole hear

19 119 70 Their heart is as fat as grease; [but] I delight in thy law.

19 119 71 [It is] good for me that I have been afflicted; that I might learn thy statutes.

19 119 72 The law of thy mouth [is] better unto me than thousands of gold and silver.

19 119 73 "JOD. Thy hands have made me and fashioned me: give me understanding, that I may lear

19 119 74 They that fear thee will be glad when they see me; because I have hoped in thy word.

19 119 80 Let my heart be sound in thy statutes; that I be not ashamed.

19 119 81 CAPH. My soul fainteth for thy salvation: [but] I hope in thy word.

19 119 82 "Mine eyes fail for thy word, saying, When wilt thou comfort me?"

19 119 83 For I am become like a bottle in the smoke; [yet] do I not forget thy statutes.

19 119 84 How many [are] the days of thy servant? when wilt thou execute judgment on them that pe

19 119 85 "The proud have digged pits for me, which [are] not after thy law."

19 119 86 All thy commandments [are] faithful: they persecute me wrongfully; help thou me.

19 119 87 They had almost consumed me upon earth; but I forsook not thy precepts.

19 119 88 Quicken me after thy lovingkindness; so shall I keep the testimony of thy mouth.

19 119 89 "LAMED. For ever, O LORD, thy word is settled in heaven."

19 119 90 "Thy faithfulness [is] unto all generations: thou hast established the earth, and it abideth."

19 119 91 They continue this day according to thine ordinances: for all [are] thy servants.

19 119 92 "Unless thy law [had been] my delights, I should then have perished in mine affliction."

19 119 93 I will never forget thy precepts: for with them thou hast quickened me.

19 119 94 "I [am] thine, save me; for I have sought thy precepts."

19 119 95 The wicked have waited for me to destroy me: [but] I will consider thy testimonies.

19 119 96 I have seen an end of all perfection: [but] thy commandment [is] exceeding broad.

19 119 97 MEM. O how love I thy law! it [is] my meditation all the day.

19 119 98 Thou through thy commandments hast made me wiser than mine enemies: for they [are] e

19 119 99 I have more understanding than all my teachers: for thy testimonies [are] my meditation.

19 119 100 "I understand more than the ancients, because I keep thy precepts."

19 119 101 "I have refrained my feet from every evil way, that I might keep thy word."

19 119 102 I have not departed from thy judgments: for thou hast taught me.

19 119 103 "How sweet are thy words unto my taste! [yea, sweeter] than honey to my mouth!"

19 119 104 Through thy precepts I get understanding: therefore I hate every false way.

19 119 105 "NUN. Thy word [is] a lamp unto my feet, and a light unto my path."

19 119 106 "I have sworn, and I will perform [it], that I will keep thy righteous judgments."

19 119 107 "I am afflicted very much: quicken me, O LORD, according unto thy word."

19 119 108 "Accept, I beseech thee, the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me thy judg

19 119 109 My soul [is] continually in my hand: yet do I not forget thy law.

19 119 110 The wicked have laid a snare for me: yet I erred not from thy precepts.

19 119 111 Thy testimonies have I taken as an heritage for ever: for they [are] the rejoicing of my hear

19 119 112 "I have inclined mine heart to perform thy statutes alway, [even unto] the end."

19 119 113 SAMECH. I hate [vain] thoughts: but thy law do I love.

19 119 114 Thou [art] my hiding place and my shield: I hope in thy word.

19 119 115 "Depart from me, ye evildoers: for I will keep the commandments of my God."

19 119 116 "Uphold me according unto thy word, that I may live: and let me not be ashamed of my hop

19 119 117 "Hold thou me up, and I shall be safe: and I will have respect unto thy statutes continually.

19 119 118 Thou hast trodden down all them that err from thy statutes: for their deceit [is] falsehood.

19 119 119 Thou puttest away all the wicked of the earth [like] dross: therefore I love thy testimonies.

19 119 120 My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

19 119 121 AIN. I have done judgment and justice: leave me not to mine oppressors.

19 119 122 Be surety for thy servant for good: let not the proud oppress me.

19 119 123 "Mine eyes fail for thy salvation, and for the word of thy righteousness."

19 119 124 "Deal with thy servant according unto thy mercy, and teach me thy statutes."

19 119 125 "I [am] thy servant; give me understanding, that I may know thy testimonies."

19 119 126 "[It is] time for [thee], LORD, to work: [for] they have made void thy law."

19 119 127 "Therefore I love thy commandments above gold; yea, above fine gold."

19 119 128 Therefore I esteem all [thy] precepts [concerning] all [things to be] right; [and] I hate ever

19 119 129 PE. Thy testimonies [are] wonderful: therefore doth my soul keep them.

19 119 130 The entrance of thy words giveth light; it giveth understanding unto the simple.

19 119 131 "I opened my mouth, and panted: for I longed for thy commandments."

19 119 132 "Look thou upon me, and be merciful unto me, as thou usest to do unto those that love thy

19 119 133 Order my steps in thy word: and let not any iniquity have dominion over me.

19 119 134 Deliver me from the oppression of man: so will I keep thy precepts.

19 119 135 Make thy face to shine upon thy servant; and teach me thy statutes.

19 119 136 "Rivers of waters run down mine eyes, because they keep not thy law."

19 119 137 "TZADDI. Righteous [art] thou, O LORD, and upright [are] thy judgments."

19 119 138 Thy testimonies [that] thou hast commanded [are] righteous and very faithful.

19 119 139 "My zeal hath consumed me, because mine enemies have forgotten thy words."

19 119 140 Thy word [is] very pure: therefore thy servant loveth it.

19 119 141 I [am] small and despised: [yet] do not I forget thy precepts.

19 119 142 "Thy righteousness [is] an everlasting righteousness, and thy law [is] the truth."

19 119 143 Trouble and anguish have taken hold on me: [yet] thy commandments [are] my delights.

19 119 144 "The righteousness of thy testimonies [is] everlasting: give me understanding, and I shall li

19 119 150 They draw nigh that follow after mischief: they are far from thy law.

19 119 152 "Concerning thy testimonies, I have known of old that thou hast founded them for ever."

19 119 153 "RESH. Consider mine affliction, and deliver me: for I do not forget thy law."

19 119 154 "Plead my cause, and deliver me: quicken me according to thy word."

19 119 155 Salvation [is] far from the wicked: for they seek not thy statutes.

19 119 156 "Great [are] thy tender mercies, O LORD: quicken me according to thy judgments."

19 119 157 Many [are] my persecutors and mine enemies; [yet] do I not decline from thy testimonies.

19 119 158 "I beheld the transgressors, and was grieved; because they kept not thy word."

19 119 159 "Consider how I love thy precepts: quicken me, O LORD, according to thy lovingkindness."

19 119 160 Thy word [is] true [from] the beginning: and every one of thy righteous judgments [endure

19 119 163 I hate and abhor lying: [but] thy law do I love.

19 119 164 Seven times a day do I praise thee because of thy righteous judgments.

19 119 165 Great peace have they which love thy law: and nothing shall offend them.

19 119 166 "LORD, I have hoped for thy salvation, and done thy commandments."

19 119 167 My soul hath kept thy testimonies; and I love them exceedingly.

19 119 168 I have kept thy precepts and thy testimonies: for all my ways [are] before thee.

19 119 169 "TAU. Let my cry come near before thee, O LORD: give me understanding according to thy

19 119 175 "Let my soul live, and it shall praise thee; and let thy judgments help me."

19 120 5 "Woe is me, that I sojourn in Mesech, [that] I dwell in the tents of Kedar!"

19 120 6 My soul hath long dwelt with him that hateth peace.

19 121 2 "My help [cometh] from the LORD, which made heaven and earth."

19 121 3 He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: he that keepeth thee will not slumber.

20 12 18 There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise [is] health.

20 12 19 The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue [is] but for a moment.

20 12 20 Deceit [is] in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace [is] joy.

20 12 21 There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief.

20 12 22 Lying lips [are] abomination to the LORD: but they that deal truly [are] his delight.

20 12 23 A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness.
