Unchecked Copy BoxGen 22:6 - So Abraham took the wood of the burnt offering and laid it on Isaac his son; and he took the fire in his hand, and a knife, and the two of them went together.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 22:7 - But Isaac spoke to Abraham his father and said, “My father!” And he said, “Here I am, my son.” Then he said, “Look, the fire and the wood, but where is the lamb for a burnt offering?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 22:8 - And Abraham said, “My son, God will provide for Himself the lamb for a burnt offering.” So the two of them went together.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 22:11 - But the Angel of the LORD called to him from heaven and said, “Abraham, Abraham!” So he said, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 22:19 - So Abraham returned to his young men, and they rose and went together to Beersheba; and Abraham dwelt at Beersheba.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 22:20 - Now it came to pass after these things that it was told Abraham, saying, “Indeed Milcah also has borne children to your brother Nahor:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:1 - Sarah lived one hundred and twenty-seven years; these were the years of the life of Sarah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:2 - So Sarah died in Kirjath Arba (that is, Hebron) in the land of Canaan, and Abraham came to mourn for Sarah and to weep for her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:5 - And the sons of Heth answered Abraham, saying to him,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:6 - “Hear us, my lord: You are a mighty prince among us; bury your dead in the choicest of our burial places. None of us will withhold from you his burial place, that you may bury your dead.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:7 - Then Abraham stood up and bowed himself to the people of the land, the sons of Heth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:10 - Now Ephron dwelt among the sons of Heth; and Ephron the Hittite answered Abraham in the presence of the sons of Heth, all who entered at the gate of his city, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:14 - And Ephron answered Abraham, saying to him,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 23:15 - “My lord, listen to me; the land is worth four hundred shekels of silver. What is that between you and me? So bury your dead.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:5 - And the servant said to him, “Perhaps the woman will not be willing to follow me to this land. Must I take your son back to the land from which you came?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:6 - But Abraham said to him, “Beware that you do not take my son back there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:8 - “And if the woman is not willing to follow you, then you will be released from this oath; only do not take my son back there.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:13 - “Behold, here I stand by the well of water, and the daughters of the men of the city are coming out to draw water.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:15 - And it happened, before he had finished speaking, that behold, Rebekah, who was born to Bethuel, son of Milcah, the wife of Nahor, Abraham's brother, came out with her pitcher on her shoulder.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:16 - Now the young woman was very beautiful to behold, a virgin; no man had known her. And she went down to the well, filled her pitcher, and came up.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:17 - And the servant ran to meet her and said, “Please let me drink a little water from your pitcher.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:18 - So she said, “Drink, my lord.” Then she quickly let her pitcher down to her hand, and gave him a drink.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:21 - And the man, wondering at her, remained silent so as to know whether the LORD had made his journey prosperous or not.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:22 - So it was, when the camels had finished drinking, that the man took a golden nose ring weighing half a shekel, and two bracelets for her wrists weighing ten shekels of gold,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:29 - Now Rebekah had a brother whose name was Laban, and Laban ran out to the man by the well.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:31 - And he said, “Come in, O blessed of the LORD! Why do you stand outside? For I have prepared the house, and a place for the camels.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:32 - Then the man came to the house. And he unloaded the camels, and provided straw and feed for the camels, and water to wash his feet and the feet of the men who were with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:35 - “The LORD has blessed my master greatly, and he has become great; and He has given him flocks and herds, silver and gold, male and female servants, and camels and donkeys.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:39 - “And I said to my master, ‘Perhaps the woman will not follow me.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:45 - “But before I had finished speaking in my heart, there was Rebekah, coming out with her pitcher on her shoulder; and she went down to the well and drew water. And I said to her, ‘Please let me drink.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:47 - “Then I asked her, and said, ‘Whose daughter are you?' And she said, ‘The daughter of Bethuel, Nahor's son, whom Milcah bore to him.' So I put the nose ring on her nose and the bracelets on her wrists.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:49 - “Now if you will deal kindly and truly with my master, tell me. And if not, tell me, that I may turn to the right hand or to the left.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:50 - Then Laban and Bethuel answered and said, “The thing comes from the LORD; we cannot speak to you either bad or good.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:52 - And it came to pass, when Abraham's servant heard their words, that he worshiped the LORD, bowing himself to the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:55 - But her brother and her mother said, “Let the young woman stay with us a few days, at least ten; after that she may go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:56 - And he said to them, “Do not hinder me, since the LORD has prospered my way; send me away so that I may go to my master.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:57 - So they said, “We will call the young woman and ask her personally.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:58 - Then they called Rebekah and said to her, “Will you go with this man?” And she said, “I will go.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:61 - Then Rebekah and her maids arose, and they rode on the camels and followed the man. So the servant took Rebekah and departed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:62 - Now Isaac came from the way of Beer Lahai Roi, for he dwelt in the South.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:65 - for she had said to the servant, “Who is this man walking in the field to meet us?” The servant said, “It is my master.” So she took a veil and covered herself.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 24:67 - Then Isaac brought her into his mother Sarah's tent; and he took Rebekah and she became his wife, and he loved her. So Isaac was comforted after his mother's death.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:1 - Abraham again took a wife, and her name was Keturah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:2 - And she bore him Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, and Shuah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:3 - Jokshan begot Sheba and Dedan. And the sons of Dedan were Asshurim, Letushim, and Leummim.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:4 - And the sons of Midian were Ephah, Epher, Hanoch, Abidah, and Eldaah. All these were the children of Keturah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:5 - And Abraham gave all that he had to Isaac.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:7 - This is the sum of the years of Abraham's life which he lived: one hundred and seventy-five years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:11 - And it came to pass, after the death of Abraham, that God blessed his son Isaac. And Isaac dwelt at Beer Lahai Roi.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:12 - Now this is the genealogy of Ishmael, Abraham's son, whom Hagar the Egyptian, Sarah's maidservant, bore to Abraham.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:18 - (They dwelt from Havilah as far as Shur, which is east of Egypt as you go toward Assyria.) He died in the presence of all his brethren.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:20 - Isaac was forty years old when he took Rebekah as wife, the daughter of Bethuel the Syrian of Padan Aram, the sister of Laban the Syrian.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:21 - Now Isaac pleaded with the LORD for his wife, because she was barren; and the LORD granted his plea, and Rebekah his wife conceived.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:22 - But the children struggled together within her; and she said, “If all is well, why am I like this?” So she went to inquire of the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:25 - And the first came out red. He was like a hairy garment all over; so they called his name Esau.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:26 - Afterward his brother came out, and his hand took hold of Esau's heel; so his name was called Jacob.[fn] Isaac was sixty years old when she bore them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:27 - So the boys grew. And Esau was a skillful hunter, a man of the field; but Jacob was a mild man, dwelling in tents.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:28 - And Isaac loved Esau because he ate of his game, but Rebekah loved Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:29 - Now Jacob cooked a stew; and Esau came in from the field, and he was weary.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:31 - But Jacob said, “Sell me your birthright as of this day.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:32 - And Esau said, “Look, I am about to die; so what is this birthright to me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:33 - Then Jacob said, “Swear to me as of this day.” So he swore to him, and sold his birthright to Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 25:34 - And Jacob gave Esau bread and stew of lentils; then he ate and drank, arose, and went his way. Thus Esau despised his birthright.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:1 - There was a famine in the land, besides the first famine that was in the days of Abraham. And Isaac went to Abimelech king of the Philistines, in Gerar.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:2 - Then the LORD appeared to him and said: “Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land of which I shall tell you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:7 - And the men of the place asked about his wife. And he said, “She is my sister”; for he was afraid to say, “She is my wife,” because he thought, “lest the men of the place kill me for Rebekah, because she is beautiful to behold.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:8 - Now it came to pass, when he had been there a long time, that Abimelech king of the Philistines looked through a window, and saw, and there was Isaac, showing endearment to Rebekah his wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:9 - Then Abimelech called Isaac and said, “Quite obviously she is your wife; so how could you say, ‘She is my sister'?” Isaac said to him, “Because I said, ‘Lest I die on account of her.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:10 - And Abimelech said, “What is this you have done to us? One of the people might soon have lain with your wife, and you would have brought guilt on us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:11 - So Abimelech charged all his people, saying, “He who touches this man or his wife shall surely be put to death.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:12 - Then Isaac sowed in that land, and reaped in the same year a hundredfold; and the LORD blessed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:14 - for he had possessions of flocks and possessions of herds and a great number of servants. So the Philistines envied him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:16 - And Abimelech said to Isaac, “Go away from us, for you are much mightier than we.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:21 - Then they dug another well, and they quarreled over that one also. So he called its name Sitnah.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:22 - And he moved from there and dug another well, and they did not quarrel over it. So he called its name Rehoboth,[fn] because he said, “For now the LORD has made room for us, and we shall be fruitful in the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:23 - Then he went up from there to Beersheba.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:25 - So he built an altar there and called on the name of the LORD, and he pitched his tent there; and there Isaac's servants dug a well.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:27 - And Isaac said to them, “Why have you come to me, since you hate me and have sent me away from you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:32 - It came to pass the same day that Isaac's servants came and told him about the well which they had dug, and said to him, “We have found water.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 26:34 - When Esau was forty years old, he took as wives Judith the daughter of Beeri the Hittite, and Basemath the daughter of Elon the Hittite.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:1 - Now it came to pass, when Isaac was old and his eyes were so dim that he could not see, that he called Esau his older son and said to him, “My son.” And he answered him, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:5 - Now Rebekah was listening when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt game and to bring it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:6 - So Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, “Indeed I heard your father speak to Esau your brother, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:11 - And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, “Look, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth-skinned man.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:13 - But his mother said to him, “Let your curse be on me, my son; only obey my voice, and go, get them for me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:14 - And he went and got them and brought them to his mother, and his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:18 - So he went to his father and said, “My father.” And he said, “Here I am. Who are you, my son?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:20 - But Isaac said to his son, “How is it that you have found it so quickly, my son?” And he said, “Because the LORD your God brought it to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:21 - Then Isaac said to Jacob, “Please come near, that I may feel you, my son, whether you are really my son Esau or not.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:22 - So Jacob went near to Isaac his father, and he felt him and said, “The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:24 - Then he said, “Are you really my son Esau?” He said, “I am.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:29 - Let peoples serve you,
And nations bow down to you.
Be master over your brethren,
And let your mother's sons bow down to you.
Cursed be everyone who curses you,
And blessed be those who bless you!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:32 - And his father Isaac said to him, “Who are you?” So he said, “I am your son, your firstborn, Esau.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:33 - Then Isaac trembled exceedingly, and said, “Who? Where is the one who hunted game and brought it to me? I ate all of it before you came, and I have blessed him—and indeed he shall be blessed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:34 - When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, “Bless me—me also, O my father!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:35 - But he said, “Your brother came with deceit and has taken away your blessing.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:37 - Then Isaac answered and said to Esau, “Indeed I have made him your master, and all his brethren I have given to him as servants; with grain and wine I have sustained him. What shall I do now for you, my son?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:38 - And Esau said to his father, “Have you only one blessing, my father? Bless me—me also, O my father!” And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:39 - Then Isaac his father answered and said to him:

“Behold, your dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth,
And of the dew of heaven from above.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:40 - By your sword you shall live,
And you shall serve your brother;
And it shall come to pass, when you become restless,
That you shall break his yoke from your neck.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:41 - So Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him, and Esau said in his heart, “The days of mourning for my father are at hand; then I will kill my brother Jacob.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:42 - And the words of Esau her older son were told to Rebekah. So she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, “Surely your brother Esau comforts himself concerning you by intending to kill you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 27:46 - And Rebekah said to Isaac, “I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth; if Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, like these who are the daughters of the land, what good will my life be to me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:1 - Then Isaac called Jacob and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him: “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:3 - “May God Almighty bless you,
And make you fruitful and multiply you,
That you may be an assembly of peoples;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:5 - So Isaac sent Jacob away, and he went to Padan Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, the mother of Jacob and Esau.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:6 - Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Padan Aram to take himself a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a charge, saying, “You shall not take a wife from the daughters of Canaan,”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:13 - And behold, the LORD stood above it and said: “I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and your descendants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 28:16 - Then Jacob awoke from his sleep and said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:1 - So Jacob went on his journey and came to the land of the people of the East.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:2 - And he looked, and saw a well in the field; and behold, there were three flocks of sheep lying by it; for out of that well they watered the flocks. A large stone was on the well's mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:4 - And Jacob said to them, “My brethren, where are you from?” And they said, “We are from Haran.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:5 - Then he said to them, “Do you know Laban the son of Nahor?” And they said, “We know him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:6 - So he said to them, “Is he well?” And they said, “He is well. And look, his daughter Rachel is coming with the sheep.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:8 - But they said, “We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and they have rolled the stone from the well's mouth; then we water the sheep.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:10 - And it came to pass, when Jacob saw Rachel the daughter of Laban his mother's brother, and the sheep of Laban his mother's brother, that Jacob went near and rolled the stone from the well's mouth, and watered the flock of Laban his mother's brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:13 - Then it came to pass, when Laban heard the report about Jacob his sister's son, that he ran to meet him, and embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. So he told Laban all these things.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:15 - Then Laban said to Jacob, “Because you are my relative, should you therefore serve me for nothing? Tell me, what should your wages be?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:16 - Now Laban had two daughters: the name of the elder was Leah, and the name of the younger was Rachel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:17 - Leah's eyes were delicate, but Rachel was beautiful of form and appearance.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:18 - Now Jacob loved Rachel; so he said, “I will serve you seven years for Rachel your younger daughter.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:19 - And Laban said, “It is better that I give her to you than that I should give her to another man. Stay with me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:21 - Then Jacob said to Laban, “Give me my wife, for my days are fulfilled, that I may go in to her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:22 - And Laban gathered together all the men of the place and made a feast.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:24 - And Laban gave his maid Zilpah to his daughter Leah as a maid.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:25 - So it came to pass in the morning, that behold, it was Leah. And he said to Laban, “What is this you have done to me? Was it not for Rachel that I served you? Why then have you deceived me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:26 - And Laban said, “It must not be done so in our country, to give the younger before the firstborn.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:28 - Then Jacob did so and fulfilled her week. So he gave him his daughter Rachel as wife also.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:29 - And Laban gave his maid Bilhah to his daughter Rachel as a maid.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:30 - Then Jacob also went in to Rachel, and he also loved Rachel more than Leah. And he served with Laban still another seven years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:31 - When the LORD saw that Leah was unloved, He opened her womb; but Rachel was barren.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:32 - So Leah conceived and bore a son, and she called his name Reuben;[fn] for she said, “The LORD has surely looked on my affliction. Now therefore, my husband will love me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 29:33 - Then she conceived again and bore a son, and said, “Because the LORD has heard that I am unloved, He has therefore given me this son also.” And she called his name Simeon.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:1 - Now when Rachel saw that she bore Jacob no children, Rachel envied her sister, and said to Jacob, “Give me children, or else I die!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:2 - And Jacob's anger was aroused against Rachel, and he said, “Am I in the place of God, who has withheld from you the fruit of the womb?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:3 - So she said, “Here is my maid Bilhah; go in to her, and she will bear a child on my knees, that I also may have children by her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:4 - Then she gave him Bilhah her maid as wife, and Jacob went in to her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:9 - When Leah saw that she had stopped bearing, she took Zilpah her maid and gave her to Jacob as wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:10 - And Leah's maid Zilpah bore Jacob a son.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:14 - Now Reuben went in the days of wheat harvest and found mandrakes in the field, and brought them to his mother Leah. Then Rachel said to Leah, “Please give me some of your son's mandrakes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:15 - But she said to her, “Is it a small matter that you have taken away my husband? Would you take away my son's mandrakes also?” And Rachel said, “Therefore he will lie with you tonight for your son's mandrakes.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:16 - When Jacob came out of the field in the evening, Leah went out to meet him and said, “You must come in to me, for I have surely hired you with my son's mandrakes.” And he lay with her that night.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:22 - Then God remembered Rachel, and God listened to her and opened her womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:23 - And she conceived and bore a son, and said, “God has taken away my reproach.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:25 - And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said to Laban, “Send me away, that I may go to my own place and to my country.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:27 - And Laban said to him, “Please stay, if I have found favor in your eyes, for I have learned by experience that the LORD has blessed me for your sake.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:29 - So Jacob said to him, “You know how I have served you and how your livestock has been with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:31 - So he said, “What shall I give you?” And Jacob said, “You shall not give me anything. If you will do this thing for me, I will again feed and keep your flocks:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:34 - And Laban said, “Oh, that it were according to your word!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:36 - Then he put three days' journey between himself and Jacob, and Jacob fed the rest of Laban's flocks.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:37 - Now Jacob took for himself rods of green poplar and of the almond and chestnut trees, peeled white strips in them, and exposed the white which was in the rods.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:40 - Then Jacob separated the lambs, and made the flocks face toward the streaked and all the brown in the flock of Laban; but he put his own flocks by themselves and did not put them with Laban's flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:41 - And it came to pass, whenever the stronger livestock conceived, that Jacob placed the rods before the eyes of the livestock in the gutters, that they might conceive among the rods.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 30:42 - But when the flocks were feeble, he did not put them in; so the feebler were Laban's and the stronger Jacob's.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:1 - Now Jacob heard the words of Laban's sons, saying, “Jacob has taken away all that was our father's, and from what was our father's he has acquired all this wealth.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:3 - Then the LORD said to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers and to your family, and I will be with you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:4 - So Jacob sent and called Rachel and Leah to the field, to his flock,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:5 - and said to them, “I see your father's countenance, that it is not favorable toward me as before; but the God of my father has been with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:6 - “And you know that with all my might I have served your father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:7 - “Yet your father has deceived me and changed my wages ten times, but God did not allow him to hurt me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:8 - “If he said thus: ‘The speckled shall be your wages,' then all the flocks bore speckled. And if he said thus: ‘The streaked shall be your wages,' then all the flocks bore streaked.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:11 - “Then the Angel of God spoke to me in a dream, saying, ‘Jacob.' And I said, ‘Here I am.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:17 - Then Jacob rose and set his sons and his wives on camels.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:19 - Now Laban had gone to shear his sheep, and Rachel had stolen the household idols that were her father's.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:20 - And Jacob stole away, unknown to Laban the Syrian, in that he did not tell him that he intended to flee.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:22 - And Laban was told on the third day that Jacob had fled.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:24 - But God had come to Laban the Syrian in a dream by night, and said to him, “Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:25 - So Laban overtook Jacob. Now Jacob had pitched his tent in the mountains, and Laban with his brethren pitched in the mountains of Gilead.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:26 - And Laban said to Jacob: “What have you done, that you have stolen away unknown to me, and carried away my daughters like captives taken with the sword?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:28 - “And you did not allow me to kiss my sons and my daughters. Now you have done foolishly in so doing.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:29 - “It is in my power to do you harm, but the God of your father spoke to me last night, saying, ‘Be careful that you speak to Jacob neither good nor bad.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:31 - Then Jacob answered and said to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, ‘Perhaps you would take your daughters from me by force.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:32 - “With whomever you find your gods, do not let him live. In the presence of our brethren, identify what I have of yours and take it with you.” For Jacob did not know that Rachel had stolen them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:33 - And Laban went into Jacob's tent, into Leah's tent, and into the two maids' tents, but he did not find them. Then he went out of Leah's tent and entered Rachel's tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:34 - Now Rachel had taken the household idols, put them in the camel's saddle, and sat on them. And Laban searched all about the tent but did not find them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:35 - And she said to her father, “Let it not displease my lord that I cannot rise before you, for the manner of women is with me.” And he searched but did not find the household idols.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:36 - Then Jacob was angry and rebuked Laban, and Jacob answered and said to Laban: “What is my trespass? What is my sin, that you have so hotly pursued me?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:43 - And Laban answered and said to Jacob, “These daughters are my daughters, and these children are my children, and this flock is my flock; all that you see is mine. But what can I do this day to these my daughters or to their children whom they have borne?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:44 - “Now therefore, come, let us make a covenant, you and I, and let it be a witness between you and me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:45 - So Jacob took a stone and set it up as a pillar.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:46 - Then Jacob said to his brethren, “Gather stones.” And they took stones and made a heap, and they ate there on the heap.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:47 - Laban called it Jegar Sahadutha,[fn] but Jacob called it Galeed.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:48 - And Laban said, “This heap is a witness between you and me this day.” Therefore its name was called Galeed,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 31:55 - And early in the morning Laban arose, and kissed his sons and daughters and blessed them. Then Laban departed and returned to his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:2 - When Jacob saw them, he said, “This is God's camp.” And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:3 - Then Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother in the land of Seir, the country of Edom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:7 - So Jacob was greatly afraid and distressed; and he divided the people that were with him, and the flocks and herds and camels, into two companies.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:9 - Then Jacob said, “O God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, the LORD who said to me, ‘Return to your country and to your family, and I will deal well with you':
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:10 - “I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies and of all the truth which You have shown Your servant; for I crossed over this Jordan with my staff, and now I have become two companies.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:12 - “For You said, ‘I will surely treat you well, and make your descendants as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered for multitude.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:16 - Then he delivered them to the hand of his servants, every drove by itself, and said to his servants, “Pass over before me, and put some distance between successive droves.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:21 - So the present went on over before him, but he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:22 - And he arose that night and took his two wives, his two female servants, and his eleven sons, and crossed over the ford of Jabbok.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:24 - Then Jacob was left alone; and a Man wrestled with him until the breaking of day.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:25 - Now when He saw that He did not prevail against him, He touched the socket of his hip; and the socket of Jacob's hip was out of joint as He wrestled with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:26 - And He said, “Let Me go, for the day breaks.” But he said, “I will not let You go unless You bless me!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:27 - So He said to him, “What is your name?” He said, “Jacob.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:28 - And He said, “Your name shall no longer be called Jacob, but Israel;[fn] for you have struggled with God and with men, and have prevailed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:29 - Then Jacob asked, saying, “Tell me Your name, I pray.” And He said, “Why is it that you ask about My name?” And He blessed him there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 32:31 - Just as he crossed over Penuel[fn] the sun rose on him, and he limped on his hip.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:1 - Now Jacob lifted his eyes and looked, and there, Esau was coming, and with him were four hundred men. So he divided the children among Leah, Rachel, and the two maidservants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:3 - Then he crossed over before them and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:5 - And he lifted his eyes and saw the women and children, and said, “Who are these with you?” So he said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:8 - Then Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” And he said, “These are to find favor in the sight of my lord.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:9 - But Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; keep what you have for yourself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:10 - And Jacob said, “No, please, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present from my hand, inasmuch as I have seen your face as though I had seen the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:13 - But Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are weak, and the flocks and herds which are nursing are with me. And if the men should drive them hard one day, all the flock will die.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:14 - “Please let my lord go on ahead before his servant. I will lead on slowly at a pace which the livestock that go before me, and the children, are able to endure, until I come to my lord in Seir.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:15 - And Esau said, “Now let me leave with you some of the people who are with me.” But he said, “What need is there? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 33:16 - So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:1 - Now Dinah the daughter of Leah, whom she had borne to Jacob, went out to see the daughters of the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:4 - So Shechem spoke to his father Hamor, saying, “Get me this young woman as a wife.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:5 - And Jacob heard that he had defiled Dinah his daughter. Now his sons were with his livestock in the field; so Jacob held his peace until they came.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:6 - Then Hamor the father of Shechem went out to Jacob to speak with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:7 - And the sons of Jacob came in from the field when they heard it; and the men were grieved and very angry, because he had done a disgraceful thing in Israel by lying with Jacob's daughter, a thing which ought not to be done.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:11 - Then Shechem said to her father and her brothers, “Let me find favor in your eyes, and whatever you say to me I will give.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:13 - But the sons of Jacob answered Shechem and Hamor his father, and spoke deceitfully, because he had defiled Dinah their sister.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:14 - And they said to them, “We cannot do this thing, to give our sister to one who is uncircumcised, for that would be a reproach to us.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:17 - “But if you will not heed us and be circumcised, then we will take our daughter and be gone.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:19 - So the young man did not delay to do the thing, because he delighted in Jacob's daughter. He was more honorable than all the household of his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:20 - And Hamor and Shechem his son came to the gate of their city, and spoke with the men of their city, saying:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:21 - “These men are at peace with us. Therefore let them dwell in the land and trade in it. For indeed the land is large enough for them. Let us take their daughters to us as wives, and let us give them our daughters.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:25 - Now it came to pass on the third day, when they were in pain, that two of the sons of Jacob, Simeon and Levi, Dinah's brothers, each took his sword and came boldly upon the city and killed all the males.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:27 - The sons of Jacob came upon the slain, and plundered the city, because their sister had been defiled.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:30 - Then Jacob said to Simeon and Levi, “You have troubled me by making me obnoxious among the inhabitants of the land, among the Canaanites and the Perizzites; and since I am few in number, they will gather themselves together against me and kill me. I shall be destroyed, my household and I.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 34:31 - But they said, “Should he treat our sister like a harlot?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:1 - Then God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel and dwell there; and make an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from the face of Esau your brother.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:2 - And Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your garments.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:6 - So Jacob came to Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, he and all the people who were with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:8 - Now Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died, and she was buried below Bethel under the terebinth tree. So the name of it was called Allon Bachuth.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:9 - Then God appeared to Jacob again, when he came from Padan Aram, and blessed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:11 - Also God said to him: “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply; a nation and a company of nations shall proceed from you, and kings shall come from your body.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:13 - Then God went up from him in the place where He talked with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:16 - Then they journeyed from Bethel. And when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath, Rachel labored in childbirth, and she had hard labor.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:17 - Now it came to pass, when she was in hard labor, that the midwife said to her, “Do not fear; you will have this son also.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:18 - And so it was, as her soul was departing (for she died), that she called his name Ben-Oni;[fn] but his father called him Benjamin.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:19 - So Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:22 - And it happened, when Israel dwelt in that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father's concubine; and Israel heard about it. Now the sons of Jacob were twelve:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:24 - the sons of Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:25 - the sons of Bilhah, Rachel's maidservant, were Dan and Naphtali;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:26 - and the sons of Zilpah, Leah's maidservant, were Gad and Asher. These were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Padan Aram.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:27 - Then Jacob came to his father Isaac at Mamre, or Kirjath Arba[fn] (that is, Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had dwelt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 35:28 - Now the days of Isaac were one hundred and eighty years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:1 - Now this is the genealogy of Esau, who is Edom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:2 - Esau took his wives from the daughters of Canaan: Adah the daughter of Elon the Hittite; Aholibamah the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon the Hivite;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:4 - Now Adah bore Eliphaz to Esau, and Basemath bore Reuel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:6 - Then Esau took his wives, his sons, his daughters, and all the persons of his household, his cattle and all his animals, and all his goods which he had gained in the land of Canaan, and went to a country away from the presence of his brother Jacob.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:8 - So Esau dwelt in Mount Seir. Esau is Edom.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:9 - And this is the genealogy of Esau the father of the Edomites in Mount Seir.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:11 - And the sons of Eliphaz were Teman, Omar, Zepho,[fn] Gatam, and Kenaz.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:12 - Now Timna was the concubine of Eliphaz, Esau's son, and she bore Amalek to Eliphaz. These were the sons of Adah, Esau's wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:13 - These were the sons of Reuel: Nahath, Zerah, Shammah, and Mizzah. These were the sons of Basemath, Esau's wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:14 - These were the sons of Aholibamah, Esau's wife, the daughter of Anah, the daughter of Zibeon. And she bore to Esau: Jeush, Jaalam, and Korah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:18 - And these were the sons of Aholibamah, Esau's wife: Chief Jeush, Chief Jaalam, and Chief Korah. These were the chiefs who descended from Aholibamah, Esau's wife, the daughter of Anah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:20 - These were the sons of Seir the Horite who inhabited the land: Lotan, Shobal, Zibeon, Anah,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:22 - And the sons of Lotan were Hori and Hemam.[fn] Lotan's sister was Timna.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:23 - These were the sons of Shobal: Alvan,[fn] Manahath, Ebal, Shepho,[fn] and Onam.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:25 - These were the children of Anah: Dishon and Aholibamah the daughter of Anah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:26 - These were the sons of Dishon:[fn] Hemdan,[fn] Eshban, Ithran, and Cheran.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:27 - These were the sons of Ezer: Bilhan, Zaavan, and Akan.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:28 - These were the sons of Dishan: Uz and Aran.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:33 - And when Bela died, Jobab the son of Zerah of Bozrah reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:34 - When Jobab died, Husham of the land of the Temanites reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:35 - And when Husham died, Hadad the son of Bedad, who attacked Midian in the field of Moab, reigned in his place. And the name of his city was Avith.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:36 - When Hadad died, Samlah of Masrekah reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:37 - And when Samlah died, Saul of Rehoboth-by-the-River reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:38 - When Saul died, Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor reigned in his place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 36:39 - And when Baal-Hanan the son of Achbor died, Hadar[fn] reigned in his place; and the name of his city was Pau.[fn] His wife's name was Mehetabel, the daughter of Matred, the daughter of Mezahab.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:1 - Now Jacob dwelt in the land where his father was a stranger, in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:2 - This is the history of Jacob. Joseph, being seventeen years old, was feeding the flock with his brothers. And the lad was with the sons of Bilhah and the sons of Zilpah, his father's wives; and Joseph brought a bad report of them to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:3 - Now Israel loved Joseph more than all his children, because he was the son of his old age. Also he made him a tunic of many colors.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:4 - But when his brothers saw that their father loved him more than all his brothers, they hated him and could not speak peaceably to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:5 - Now Joseph had a dream, and he told it to his brothers; and they hated him even more.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:7 - “There we were, binding sheaves in the field. Then behold, my sheaf arose and also stood upright; and indeed your sheaves stood all around and bowed down to my sheaf.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:8 - And his brothers said to him, “Shall you indeed reign over us? Or shall you indeed have dominion over us?” So they hated him even more for his dreams and for his words.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:9 - Then he dreamed still another dream and told it to his brothers, and said, “Look, I have dreamed another dream. And this time, the sun, the moon, and the eleven stars bowed down to me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:11 - And his brothers envied him, but his father kept the matter in mind.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:12 - Then his brothers went to feed their father's flock in Shechem.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:13 - And Israel said to Joseph, “Are not your brothers feeding the flock in Shechem? Come, I will send you to them.” So he said to him, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:14 - Then he said to him, “Please go and see if it is well with your brothers and well with the flocks, and bring back word to me.” So he sent him out of the Valley of Hebron, and he went to Shechem.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:15 - Now a certain man found him, and there he was, wandering in the field. And the man asked him, saying, “What are you seeking?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:16 - So he said, “I am seeking my brothers. Please tell me where they are feeding their flocks.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:17 - And the man said, “They have departed from here, for I heard them say, ‘Let us go to Dothan.' ” So Joseph went after his brothers and found them in Dothan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:18 - Now when they saw him afar off, even before he came near them, they conspired against him to kill him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:19 - Then they said to one another, “Look, this dreamer is coming!
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:21 - But Reuben heard it, and he delivered him out of their hands, and said, “Let us not kill him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:22 - And Reuben said to them, “Shed no blood, but cast him into this pit which is in the wilderness, and do not lay a hand on him”—that he might deliver him out of their hands, and bring him back to his father.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:23 - So it came to pass, when Joseph had come to his brothers, that they stripped Joseph of his tunic, the tunic of many colors that was on him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:24 - Then they took him and cast him into a pit. And the pit was empty; there was no water in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:25 - And they sat down to eat a meal. Then they lifted their eyes and looked, and there was a company of Ishmaelites, coming from Gilead with their camels, bearing spices, balm, and myrrh, on their way to carry them down to Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:26 - So Judah said to his brothers, “What profit is there if we kill our brother and conceal his blood?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:27 - “Come and let us sell him to the Ishmaelites, and let not our hand be upon him, for he is our brother and our flesh.” And his brothers listened.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:29 - Then Reuben returned to the pit, and indeed Joseph was not in the pit; and he tore his clothes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:30 - And he returned to his brothers and said, “The lad is no more; and I, where shall I go?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:31 - So they took Joseph's tunic, killed a kid of the goats, and dipped the tunic in the blood.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:34 - Then Jacob tore his clothes, put sackcloth on his waist, and mourned for his son many days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:35 - And all his sons and all his daughters arose to comfort him; but he refused to be comforted, and he said, “For I shall go down into the grave to my son in mourning.” Thus his father wept for him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 37:36 - Now the Midianites[fn] had sold him in Egypt to Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh and captain of the guard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:1 - It came to pass at that time that Judah departed from his brothers, and visited a certain Adullamite whose name was Hirah.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:5 - And she conceived yet again and bore a son, and called his name Shelah. He was at Chezib when she bore him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:7 - But Er, Judah's firstborn, was wicked in the sight of the LORD, and the LORD killed him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:8 - And Judah said to Onan, “Go in to your brother's wife and marry her, and raise up an heir to your brother.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:9 - But Onan knew that the heir would not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in to his brother's wife, that he emitted on the ground, lest he should give an heir to his brother.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:10 - And the thing which he did displeased the LORD; therefore He killed him also.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:11 - Then Judah said to Tamar his daughter-in-law, “Remain a widow in your father's house till my son Shelah is grown.” For he said, “Lest he also die like his brothers.” And Tamar went and dwelt in her father's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:12 - Now in the process of time the daughter of Shua, Judah's wife, died; and Judah was comforted, and went up to his sheepshearers at Timnah, he and his friend Hirah the Adullamite.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:14 - So she took off her widow's garments, covered herself with a veil and wrapped herself, and sat in an open place which was on the way to Timnah; for she saw that Shelah was grown, and she was not given to him as a wife.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:16 - Then he turned to her by the way, and said, “Please let me come in to you”; for he did not know that she was his daughter-in-law. So she said, “What will you give me, that you may come in to me?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:17 - And he said, “I will send a young goat from the flock.” So she said, “Will you give me a pledge till you send it?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:18 - Then he said, “What pledge shall I give you?” So she said, “Your signet and cord, and your staff that is in your hand.” Then he gave them to her, and went in to her, and she conceived by him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:20 - And Judah sent the young goat by the hand of his friend the Adullamite, to receive his pledge from the woman's hand, but he did not find her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:21 - Then he asked the men of that place, saying, “Where is the harlot who was openly by the roadside?” And they said, “There was no harlot in this place.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:23 - Then Judah said, “Let her take them for herself, lest we be shamed; for I sent this young goat and you have not found her.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:24 - And it came to pass, about three months after, that Judah was told, saying, “Tamar your daughter-in-law has played the harlot; furthermore she is with child by harlotry.” So Judah said, “Bring her out and let her be burned!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:25 - When she was brought out, she sent to her father-in-law, saying, “By the man to whom these belong, I am with child.” And she said, “Please determine whose these are—the signet and cord, and staff.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:26 - So Judah acknowledged them and said, “She has been more righteous than I, because I did not give her to Shelah my son.” And he never knew her again.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:27 - Now it came to pass, at the time for giving birth, that behold, twins were in her womb.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:28 - And so it was, when she was giving birth, that the one put out his hand; and the midwife took a scarlet thread and bound it on his hand, saying, “This one came out first.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 38:29 - Then it happened, as he drew back his hand, that his brother came out unexpectedly; and she said, “How did you break through? This breach be upon you!” Therefore his name was called Perez.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:1 - Now Joseph had been taken down to Egypt. And Potiphar, an officer of Pharaoh, captain of the guard, an Egyptian, bought him from the Ishmaelites who had taken him down there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:3 - And his master saw that the LORD was with him and that the LORD made all he did to prosper in his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:4 - So Joseph found favor in his sight, and served him. Then he made him overseer of his house, and all that he had he put under his authority.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:5 - So it was, from the time that he had made him overseer of his house and all that he had, that the LORD blessed the Egyptian's house for Joseph's sake; and the blessing of the LORD was on all that he had in the house and in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:8 - But he refused and said to his master's wife, “Look, my master does not know what is with me in the house, and he has committed all that he has to my hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:10 - So it was, as she spoke to Joseph day by day, that he did not heed her, to lie with her or to be with her.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:11 - But it happened about this time, when Joseph went into the house to do his work, and none of the men of the house was inside,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:15 - “And it happened, when he heard that I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me, and fled and went outside.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:18 - “so it happened, as I lifted my voice and cried out, that he left his garment with me and fled outside.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 39:19 - So it was, when his master heard the words which his wife spoke to him, saying, “Your servant did to me after this manner,” that his anger was aroused.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:1 - It came to pass after these things that the butler and the baker of the king of Egypt offended their lord, the king of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:4 - And the captain of the guard charged Joseph with them, and he served them; so they were in custody for a while.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:6 - And Joseph came in to them in the morning and looked at them, and saw that they were sad.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:8 - And they said to him, “We each have had a dream, and there is no interpreter of it.” So Joseph said to them, “Do not interpretations belong to God? Tell them to me, please.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:10 - “and in the vine were three branches; it was as though it budded, its blossoms shot forth, and its clusters brought forth ripe grapes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:17 - “In the uppermost basket were all kinds of baked goods for Pharaoh, and the birds ate them out of the basket on my head.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:18 - So Joseph answered and said, “This is the interpretation of it: The three baskets are three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:20 - Now it came to pass on the third day, which was Pharaoh's birthday, that he made a feast for all his servants; and he lifted up the head of the chief butler and of the chief baker among his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:22 - But he hanged the chief baker, as Joseph had interpreted to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 40:23 - Yet the chief butler did not remember Joseph, but forgot him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:1 - Then it came to pass, at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh had a dream; and behold, he stood by the river.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:3 - Then behold, seven other cows came up after them out of the river, ugly and gaunt, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the river.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:4 - And the ugly and gaunt cows ate up the seven fine looking and fat cows. So Pharaoh awoke.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:6 - Then behold, seven thin heads, blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:7 - And the seven thin heads devoured the seven plump and full heads. So Pharaoh awoke, and indeed, it was a dream.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:8 - Now it came to pass in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. And Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them for Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:12 - “Now there was a young Hebrew man with us there, a servant of the captain of the guard. And we told him, and he interpreted our dreams for us; to each man he interpreted according to his own dream.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:13 - “And it came to pass, just as he interpreted for us, so it happened. He restored me to my office, and he hanged him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:14 - Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him quickly out of the dungeon; and he shaved, changed his clothing, and came to Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:15 - And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “I have had a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. But I have heard it said of you that you can understand a dream, to interpret it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:16 - So Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, “It is not in me; God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:17 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph: “Behold, in my dream I stood on the bank of the river.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:21 - “When they had eaten them up, no one would have known that they had eaten them, for they were just as ugly as at the beginning. So I awoke.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:23 - “Then behold, seven heads, withered, thin, and blighted by the east wind, sprang up after them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:28 - “This is the thing which I have spoken to Pharaoh. God has shown Pharaoh what He is about to do.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:30 - “but after them seven years of famine will arise, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt; and the famine will deplete the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:32 - “And the dream was repeated to Pharaoh twice because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:37 - So the advice was good in the eyes of Pharaoh and in the eyes of all his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:39 - Then Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Inasmuch as God has shown you all this, there is no one as discerning and wise as you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:41 - And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “See, I have set you over all the land of Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:44 - Pharaoh also said to Joseph, “I am Pharaoh, and without your consent no man may lift his hand or foot in all the land of Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:46 - Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. And Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:50 - And to Joseph were born two sons before the years of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:51 - Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh:[fn] “For God has made me forget all my toil and all my father's house.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:52 - And the name of the second he called Ephraim:[fn] “For God has caused me to be fruitful in the land of my affliction.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:53 - Then the seven years of plenty which were in the land of Egypt ended,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:54 - and the seven years of famine began to come, as Joseph had said. The famine was in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:55 - So when all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread. Then Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, “Go to Joseph; whatever he says to you, do.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 41:56 - The famine was over all the face of the earth, and Joseph opened all the storehouses[fn] and sold to the Egyptians. And the famine became severe in the land of Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:1 - When Jacob saw that there was grain in Egypt, Jacob said to his sons, “Why do you look at one another?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:3 - So Joseph's ten brothers went down to buy grain in Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:4 - But Jacob did not send Joseph's brother Benjamin with his brothers, for he said, “Lest some calamity befall him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:5 - And the sons of Israel went to buy grain among those who journeyed, for the famine was in the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:6 - Now Joseph was governor over the land; and it was he who sold to all the people of the land. And Joseph's brothers came and bowed down before him with their faces to the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:7 - Joseph saw his brothers and recognized them, but he acted as a stranger to them and spoke roughly to them. Then he said to them, “Where do you come from?” And they said, “From the land of Canaan to buy food.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:8 - So Joseph recognized his brothers, but they did not recognize him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:10 - And they said to him, “No, my lord, but your servants have come to buy food.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:12 - But he said to them, “No, but you have come to see the nakedness of the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:13 - And they said, “Your servants are twelve brothers, the sons of one man in the land of Canaan; and in fact, the youngest is with our father today, and one is no more.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:14 - But Joseph said to them, “It is as I spoke to you, saying, ‘You are spies!'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:16 - “Send one of you, and let him bring your brother; and you shall be kept in prison, that your words may be tested to see whether there is any truth in you; or else, by the life of Pharaoh, surely you are spies!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:18 - Then Joseph said to them the third day, “Do this and live, for I fear God:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:19 - “If you are honest men, let one of your brothers be confined to your prison house; but you, go and carry grain for the famine of your houses.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:20 - “And bring your youngest brother to me; so your words will be verified, and you shall not die.” And they did so.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:22 - And Reuben answered them, saying, “Did I not speak to you, saying, ‘Do not sin against the boy'; and you would not listen? Therefore behold, his blood is now required of us.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:23 - But they did not know that Joseph understood them, for he spoke to them through an interpreter.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:24 - And he turned himself away from them and wept. Then he returned to them again, and talked with them. And he took Simeon from them and bound him before their eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:25 - Then Joseph gave a command to fill their sacks with grain, to restore every man's money to his sack, and to give them provisions for the journey. Thus he did for them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:27 - But as one of them opened his sack to give his donkey feed at the encampment, he saw his money; and there it was, in the mouth of his sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:29 - Then they went to Jacob their father in the land of Canaan and told him all that had happened to them, saying:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:31 - “But we said to him, ‘We are honest men; we are not spies.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:32 - ‘We are twelve brothers, sons of our father; one is no more, and the youngest is with our father this day in the land of Canaan.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:33 - “Then the man, the lord of the country, said to us, ‘By this I will know that you are honest men: Leave one of your brothers here with me, take food for the famine of your households, and be gone.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:35 - Then it happened as they emptied their sacks, that surprisingly each man's bundle of money was in his sack; and when they and their father saw the bundles of money, they were afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:36 - And Jacob their father said to them, “You have bereaved me: Joseph is no more, Simeon is no more, and you want to take Benjamin. All these things are against me.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:37 - Then Reuben spoke to his father, saying, “Kill my two sons if I do not bring him back to you; put him in my hands, and I will bring him back to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 42:38 - But he said, “My son shall not go down with you, for his brother is dead, and he is left alone. If any calamity should befall him along the way in which you go, then you would bring down my gray hair with sorrow to the grave.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:1 - Now the famine was severe in the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:2 - And it came to pass, when they had eaten up the grain which they had brought from Egypt, that their father said to them, “Go back, buy us a little food.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:3 - But Judah spoke to him, saying, “The man solemnly warned us, saying, ‘You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:5 - “But if you will not send him, we will not go down; for the man said to us, ‘You shall not see my face unless your brother is with you.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:6 - And Israel said, “Why did you deal so wrongfully with me as to tell the man whether you had still another brother?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:7 - But they said, “The man asked us pointedly about ourselves and our family, saying, ‘Is your father still alive? Have you another brother?' And we told him according to these words. Could we possibly have known that he would say, ‘Bring your brother down'?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:8 - Then Judah said to Israel his father, “Send the lad with me, and we will arise and go, that we may live and not die, both we and you and also our little ones.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:9 - “I myself will be surety for him; from my hand you shall require him. If I do not bring him back to you and set him before you, then let me bear the blame forever.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:11 - And their father Israel said to them, “If it must be so, then do this: Take some of the best fruits of the land in your vessels and carry down a present for the man—a little balm and a little honey, spices and myrrh, pistachio nuts and almonds.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:14 - “And may God Almighty give you mercy before the man, that he may release your other brother and Benjamin. If I am bereaved, I am bereaved!”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:15 - So the men took that present and Benjamin, and they took double money in their hand, and arose and went down to Egypt; and they stood before Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:16 - When Joseph saw Benjamin with them, he said to the steward of his house, “Take these men to my home, and slaughter an animal and make ready; for these men will dine with me at noon.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:17 - Then the man did as Joseph ordered, and the man brought the men into Joseph's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:18 - Now the men were afraid because they were brought into Joseph's house; and they said, “It is because of the money, which was returned in our sacks the first time, that we are brought in, so that he may make a case against us and seize us, to take us as slaves with our donkeys.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:19 - When they drew near to the steward of Joseph's house, they talked with him at the door of the house,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:21 - “but it happened, when we came to the encampment, that we opened our sacks, and there, each man's money was in the mouth of his sack, our money in full weight; so we have brought it back in our hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:23 - But he said, “Peace be with you, do not be afraid. Your God and the God of your father has given you treasure in your sacks; I had your money.” Then he brought Simeon out to them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:25 - Then they made the present ready for Joseph's coming at noon, for they heard that they would eat bread there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:26 - And when Joseph came home, they brought him the present which was in their hand into the house, and bowed down before him to the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:27 - Then he asked them about their well-being, and said, “Is your father well, the old man of whom you spoke? Is he still alive?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:28 - And they answered, “Your servant our father is in good health; he is still alive.” And they bowed their heads down and prostrated themselves.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:29 - Then he lifted his eyes and saw his brother Benjamin, his mother's son, and said, “Is this your younger brother of whom you spoke to me?” And he said, “God be gracious to you, my son.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:30 - Now his heart yearned for his brother; so Joseph made haste and sought somewhere to weep. And he went into his chamber and wept there.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:33 - And they sat before him, the firstborn according to his birthright and the youngest according to his youth; and the men looked in astonishment at one another.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 43:34 - Then he took servings to them from before him, but Benjamin's serving was five times as much as any of theirs. So they drank and were merry with him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:2 - “Also put my cup, the silver cup, in the mouth of the sack of the youngest, and his grain money.” So he did according to the word that Joseph had spoken.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:4 - When they had gone out of the city, and were not yet far off, Joseph said to his steward, “Get up, follow the men; and when you overtake them, say to them, ‘Why have you repaid evil for good?
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:5 - Is not this the one from which my lord drinks, and with which he indeed practices divination? You have done evil in so doing.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:6 - So he overtook them, and he spoke to them these same words.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:7 - And they said to him, “Why does my lord say these words? Far be it from us that your servants should do such a thing.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:9 - “With whomever of your servants it is found, let him die, and we also will be my lord's slaves.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:10 - And he said, “Now also let it be according to your words; he with whom it is found shall be my slave, and you shall be blameless.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:12 - So he searched. He began with the oldest and left off with the youngest; and the cup was found in Benjamin's sack.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:14 - So Judah and his brothers came to Joseph's house, and he was still there; and they fell before him on the ground.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:15 - And Joseph said to them, “What deed is this you have done? Did you not know that such a man as I can certainly practice divination?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:16 - Then Judah said, “What shall we say to my lord? What shall we speak? Or how shall we clear ourselves? God has found out the iniquity of your servants; here we are, my lord's slaves, both we and he also with whom the cup was found.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:17 - But he said, “Far be it from me that I should do so; the man in whose hand the cup was found, he shall be my slave. And as for you, go up in peace to your father.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:18 - Then Judah came near to him and said: “O my lord, please let your servant speak a word in my lord's hearing, and do not let your anger burn against your servant; for you are even like Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:20 - “And we said to my lord, ‘We have a father, an old man, and a child of his old age, who is young; his brother is dead, and he alone is left of his mother's children, and his father loves him.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:21 - “Then you said to your servants, ‘Bring him down to me, that I may set my eyes on him.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:22 - “And we said to my lord, ‘The lad cannot leave his father, for if he should leave his father, his father would die.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:23 - “But you said to your servants, ‘Unless your youngest brother comes down with you, you shall see my face no more.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:24 - “So it was, when we went up to your servant my father, that we told him the words of my lord.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:25 - “And our father said, ‘Go back and buy us a little food.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:26 - “But we said, ‘We cannot go down; if our youngest brother is with us, then we will go down; for we may not see the man's face unless our youngest brother is with us.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:27 - “Then your servant my father said to us, ‘You know that my wife bore me two sons;
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:30 - “Now therefore, when I come to your servant my father, and the lad is not with us, since his life is bound up in the lad's life,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:31 - “it will happen, when he sees that the lad is not with us, that he will die. So your servants will bring down the gray hair of your servant our father with sorrow to the grave.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 44:33 - “Now therefore, please let your servant remain instead of the lad as a slave to my lord, and let the lad go up with his brothers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:2 - And he wept aloud, and the Egyptians and the house of Pharaoh heard it.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:3 - Then Joseph said to his brothers, “I am Joseph; does my father still live?” But his brothers could not answer him, for they were dismayed in his presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:4 - And Joseph said to his brothers, “Please come near to me.” So they came near. Then he said: “I am Joseph your brother, whom you sold into Egypt.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:16 - Now the report of it was heard in Pharaoh's house, saying, “Joseph's brothers have come.” So it pleased Pharaoh and his servants well.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:17 - And Pharaoh said to Joseph, “Say to your brothers, ‘Do this: Load your animals and depart; go to the land of Canaan.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:19 - ‘Now you are commanded—do this: Take carts out of the land of Egypt for your little ones and your wives; bring your father and come.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:21 - Then the sons of Israel did so; and Joseph gave them carts, according to the command of Pharaoh, and he gave them provisions for the journey.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:22 - He gave to all of them, to each man, changes of garments; but to Benjamin he gave three hundred pieces of silver and five changes of garments.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:24 - So he sent his brothers away, and they departed; and he said to them, “See that you do not become troubled along the way.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:27 - But when they told him all the words which Joseph had said to them, and when he saw the carts which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 45:28 - Then Israel said, “It is enough. Joseph my son is still alive. I will go and see him before I die.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:1 - So Israel took his journey with all that he had, and came to Beersheba, and offered sacrifices to the God of his father Isaac.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:2 - Then God spoke to Israel in the visions of the night, and said, “Jacob, Jacob!” And he said, “Here I am.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:5 - Then Jacob arose from Beersheba; and the sons of Israel carried their father Jacob, their little ones, and their wives, in the carts which Pharaoh had sent to carry him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:8 - Now these were the names of the children of Israel, Jacob and his sons, who went to Egypt: Reuben was Jacob's firstborn.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:9 - The sons of Reuben were Hanoch, Pallu, Hezron, and Carmi.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:10 - The sons of Simeon were Jemuel,[fn] Jamin, Ohad, Jachin,[fn] Zohar,[fn] and Shaul, the son of a Canaanite woman.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:11 - The sons of Levi were Gershon, Kohath, and Merari.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:12 - The sons of Judah were Er, Onan, Shelah, Perez, and Zerah (but Er and Onan died in the land of Canaan). The sons of Perez were Hezron and Hamul.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:13 - The sons of Issachar were Tola, Puvah,[fn] Job,[fn] and Shimron.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:14 - The sons of Zebulun were Sered, Elon, and Jahleel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:16 - The sons of Gad were Ziphion,[fn] Haggi, Shuni, Ezbon,[fn] Eri, Arodi,[fn] and Areli.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:17 - The sons of Asher were Jimnah, Ishuah, Isui, Beriah, and Serah, their sister. And the sons of Beriah were Heber and Malchiel.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:19 - The sons of Rachel, Jacob's wife, were Joseph and Benjamin.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:20 - And to Joseph in the land of Egypt were born Manasseh and Ephraim, whom Asenath, the daughter of Poti-Pherah priest of On, bore to him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:21 - The sons of Benjamin were Belah, Becher, Ashbel, Gera, Naaman, Ehi, Rosh, Muppim, Huppim,[fn] and Ard.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:23 - The son of Dan was Hushim.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:26 - All the persons who went with Jacob to Egypt, who came from his body, besides Jacob's sons' wives, were sixty-six persons in all.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:27 - And the sons of Joseph who were born to him in Egypt were two persons. All the persons of the house of Jacob who went to Egypt were seventy.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:28 - Then he sent Judah before him to Joseph, to point out before him the way to Goshen. And they came to the land of Goshen.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:29 - So Joseph made ready his chariot and went up to Goshen to meet his father Israel; and he presented himself to him, and fell on his neck and wept on his neck a good while.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:31 - Then Joseph said to his brothers and to his father's household, “I will go up and tell Pharaoh, and say to him, ‘My brothers and those of my father's house, who were in the land of Canaan, have come to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 46:32 - ‘And the men are shepherds, for their occupation has been to feed livestock; and they have brought their flocks, their herds, and all that they have.'
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:1 - Then Joseph went and told Pharaoh, and said, “My father and my brothers, their flocks and their herds and all that they possess, have come from the land of Canaan; and indeed they are in the land of Goshen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:2 - And he took five men from among his brothers and presented them to Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:3 - Then Pharaoh said to his brothers, “What is your occupation?” And they said to Pharaoh, “Your servants are shepherds, both we and also our fathers.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:4 - And they said to Pharaoh, “We have come to dwell in the land, because your servants have no pasture for their flocks, for the famine is severe in the land of Canaan. Now therefore, please let your servants dwell in the land of Goshen.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:5 - Then Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, saying, “Your father and your brothers have come to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:7 - Then Joseph brought in his father Jacob and set him before Pharaoh; and Jacob blessed Pharaoh.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:8 - Pharaoh said to Jacob, “How old are you?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:13 - Now there was no bread in all the land; for the famine was very severe, so that the land of Egypt and the land of Canaan languished because of the famine.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:14 - And Joseph gathered up all the money that was found in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, for the grain which they bought; and Joseph brought the money into Pharaoh's house.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:15 - So when the money failed in the land of Egypt and in the land of Canaan, all the Egyptians came to Joseph and said, “Give us bread, for why should we die in your presence? For the money has failed.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:16 - Then Joseph said, “Give your livestock, and I will give you bread for your livestock, if the money is gone.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:17 - So they brought their livestock to Joseph, and Joseph gave them bread in exchange for the horses, the flocks, the cattle of the herds, and for the donkeys. Thus he fed them with bread in exchange for all their livestock that year.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:18 - When that year had ended, they came to him the next year and said to him, “We will not hide from my lord that our money is gone; my lord also has our herds of livestock. There is nothing left in the sight of my lord but our bodies and our lands.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:23 - Then Joseph said to the people, “Indeed I have bought you and your land this day for Pharaoh. Look, here is seed for you, and you shall sow the land.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:24 - “And it shall come to pass in the harvest that you shall give one-fifth to Pharaoh. Four-fifths shall be your own, as seed for the field and for your food, for those of your households and as food for your little ones.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:27 - So Israel dwelt in the land of Egypt, in the country of Goshen; and they had possessions there and grew and multiplied exceedingly.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:28 - And Jacob lived in the land of Egypt seventeen years. So the length of Jacob's life was one hundred and forty-seven years.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:29 - When the time drew near that Israel must die, he called his son Joseph and said to him, “Now if I have found favor in your sight, please put your hand under my thigh, and deal kindly and truly with me. Please do not bury me in Egypt,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 47:30 - “but let me lie with my fathers; you shall carry me out of Egypt and bury me in their burial place.” And he said, “I will do as you have said.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:1 - Now it came to pass after these things that Joseph was told, “Indeed your father is sick”; and he took with him his two sons, Manasseh and Ephraim.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:2 - And Jacob was told, “Look, your son Joseph is coming to you”; and Israel strengthened himself and sat up on the bed.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:6 - “Your offspring whom you beget after them shall be yours; they will be called by the name of their brothers in their inheritance.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:7 - “But as for me, when I came from Padan, Rachel died beside me in the land of Canaan on the way, when there was but a little distance to go to Ephrath; and I buried her there on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:8 - Then Israel saw Joseph's sons, and said, “Who are these?”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:9 - And Joseph said to his father, “They are my sons, whom God has given me in this place.” And he said, “Please bring them to me, and I will bless them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:10 - Now the eyes of Israel were dim with age, so that he could not see. Then Joseph brought them near him, and he kissed them and embraced them.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:13 - And Joseph took them both, Ephraim with his right hand toward Israel's left hand, and Manasseh with his left hand toward Israel's right hand, and brought them near him.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:14 - Then Israel stretched out his right hand and laid it on Ephraim's head, who was the younger, and his left hand on Manasseh's head, guiding his hands knowingly, for Manasseh was the firstborn.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:17 - Now when Joseph saw that his father laid his right hand on the head of Ephraim, it displeased him; so he took hold of his father's hand to remove it from Ephraim's head to Manasseh's head.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:18 - And Joseph said to his father, “Not so, my father, for this one is the firstborn; put your right hand on his head.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:21 - Then Israel said to Joseph, “Behold, I am dying, but God will be with you and bring you back to the land of your fathers.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 48:22 - “Moreover I have given to you one portion above your brothers, which I took from the hand of the Amorite with my sword and my bow.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:1 - And Jacob called his sons and said, “Gather together, that I may tell you what shall befall you in the last days:
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 49:19 - “Gad, a troop shall tramp upon him,
But he shall triumph at last.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:4 - Now when the days of his mourning were past, Joseph spoke to the household of Pharaoh, saying, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, please speak in the hearing of Pharaoh, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:15 - When Joseph's brothers saw that their father was dead, they said, “Perhaps Joseph will hate us, and may actually repay us for all the evil which we did to him.”
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:20 - “But as for you, you meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, in order to bring it about as it is this day, to save many people alive.
Unchecked Copy BoxGen 50:24 - And Joseph said to his brethren, “I am dying; but God will surely visit you, and bring you out of this land to the land of which He swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:5 - All those who were descendants[fn] of Jacob were seventy[fn] persons (for Joseph was in Egypt already).
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:6 - And Joseph died, all his brothers, and all that generation.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:7 - But the children of Israel were fruitful and increased abundantly, multiplied and grew exceedingly mighty; and the land was filled with them.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:8 - Now there arose a new king over Egypt, who did not know Joseph.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:9 - And he said to his people, “Look, the people of the children of Israel are more and mightier than we;
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:12 - But the more they afflicted them, the more they multiplied and grew. And they were in dread of the children of Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:16 - and he said, “When you do the duties of a midwife for the Hebrew women, and see them on the birthstools, if it is a son, then you shall kill him; but if it is a daughter, then she shall live.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:17 - But the midwives feared God, and did not do as the king of Egypt commanded them, but saved the male children alive.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:18 - So the king of Egypt called for the midwives and said to them, “Why have you done this thing, and saved the male children alive?”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:19 - And the midwives said to Pharaoh, “Because the Hebrew women are not like the Egyptian women; for they are lively and give birth before the midwives come to them.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:20 - Therefore God dealt well with the midwives, and the people multiplied and grew very mighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 1:22 - So Pharaoh commanded all his people, saying, “Every son who is born[fn] you shall cast into the river, and every daughter you shall save alive.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:2 - So the woman conceived and bore a son. And when she saw that he was a beautiful child, she hid him three months.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:3 - But when she could no longer hide him, she took an ark of bulrushes for him, daubed it with asphalt and pitch, put the child in it, and laid it in the reeds by the river's bank.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:5 - Then the daughter of Pharaoh came down to bathe at the river. And her maidens walked along the riverside; and when she saw the ark among the reeds, she sent her maid to get it.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 2:6 - And when she opened it, she saw the child, and behold, the baby wept. So she had compassion on him, and said, “This is one of the Hebrews' children.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:9 - And Moses said to Pharaoh, “Accept the honor of saying when I shall intercede for you, for your servants, and for your people, to destroy the frogs from you and your houses, that they may remain in the river only.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:10 - So he said, “Tomorrow.” And he said, “Let it be according to your word, that you may know that there is no one like the LORD our God.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:16 - So the LORD said to Moses, “Say to Aaron, ‘Stretch out your rod, and strike the dust of the land, so that it may become lice throughout all the land of Egypt.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:18 - Now the magicians so worked with their enchantments to bring forth lice, but they could not. So there were lice on man and beast.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:20 - And the LORD said to Moses, “Rise early in the morning and stand before Pharaoh as he comes out to the water. Then say to him, ‘Thus says the LORD: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:21 - “Or else, if you will not let My people go, behold, I will send swarms of flies on you and your servants, on your people and into your houses. The houses of the Egyptians shall be full of swarms of flies, and also the ground on which they stand.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:23 - “I will make a difference[fn] between My people and your people. Tomorrow this sign shall be.” ' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:24 - And the LORD did so. Thick swarms of flies came into the house of Pharaoh, into his servants' houses, and into all the land of Egypt. The land was corrupted because of the swarms of flies.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:25 - Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron, and said, “Go, sacrifice to your God in the land.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:29 - Then Moses said, “Indeed I am going out from you, and I will entreat the LORD, that the swarms of flies may depart tomorrow from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:30 - So Moses went out from Pharaoh and entreated the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 8:31 - And the LORD did according to the word of Moses; He removed the swarms of flies from Pharaoh, from his servants, and from his people. Not one remained.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:1 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh and tell him, ‘Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews: “Let My people go, that they may serve Me.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:19 - “Therefore send now and gather your livestock and all that you have in the field, for the hail shall come down on every man and every animal which is found in the field and is not brought home; and they shall die.” ' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:21 - But he who did not regard the word of the LORD left his servants and his livestock in the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:22 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be hail in all the land of Egypt—on man, on beast, and on every herb of the field, throughout the land of Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:23 - And Moses stretched out his rod toward heaven; and the LORD sent thunder and hail, and fire darted to the ground. And the LORD rained hail on the land of Egypt.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:25 - And the hail struck throughout the whole land of Egypt, all that was in the field, both man and beast; and the hail struck every herb of the field and broke every tree of the field.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:27 - And Pharaoh sent and called for Moses and Aaron, and said to them, “I have sinned this time. The LORD is righteous, and my people and I are wicked.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:29 - So Moses said to him, “As soon as I have gone out of the city, I will spread out my hands to the LORD; the thunder will cease, and there will be no more hail, that you may know that the earth is the LORD's.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:31 - Now the flax and the barley were struck, for the barley was in the head and the flax was in bud.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:32 - But the wheat and the spelt were not struck, for they are late crops.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:33 - So Moses went out of the city from Pharaoh and spread out his hands to the LORD; then the thunder and the hail ceased, and the rain was not poured on the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 9:34 - And when Pharaoh saw that the rain, the hail, and the thunder had ceased, he sinned yet more; and he hardened his heart, he and his servants.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:1 - Now the LORD said to Moses, “Go in to Pharaoh; for I have hardened his heart and the hearts of his servants, that I may show these signs of Mine before him,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:3 - So Moses and Aaron came in to Pharaoh and said to him, “Thus says the LORD God of the Hebrews: ‘How long will you refuse to humble yourself before Me? Let My people go, that they may serve Me.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:4 - ‘Or else, if you refuse to let My people go, behold, tomorrow I will bring locusts into your territory.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:11 - “Not so! Go now, you who are men, and serve the LORD, for that is what you desired.” And they were driven out from Pharaoh's presence.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:12 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand over the land of Egypt for the locusts, that they may come upon the land of Egypt, and eat every herb of the land—all that the hail has left.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:16 - Then Pharaoh called for Moses and Aaron in haste, and said, “I have sinned against the LORD your God and against you.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:18 - So he went out from Pharaoh and entreated the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:21 - Then the LORD said to Moses, “Stretch out your hand toward heaven, that there may be darkness over the land of Egypt, darkness which may even be felt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:22 - So Moses stretched out his hand toward heaven, and there was thick darkness in all the land of Egypt three days.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:23 - They did not see one another; nor did anyone rise from his place for three days. But all the children of Israel had light in their dwellings.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:26 - “Our livestock also shall go with us; not a hoof shall be left behind. For we must take some of them to serve the LORD our God, and even we do not know with what we must serve the LORD until we arrive there.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:27 - But the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he would not let them go.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 10:29 - So Moses said, “You have spoken well. I will never see your face again.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:1 - And the LORD said to Moses, “I will bring one more plague on Pharaoh and on Egypt. Afterward he will let you go from here. When he lets you go, he will surely drive you out of here altogether.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:3 - And the LORD gave the people favor in the sight of the Egyptians. Moreover the man Moses was very great in the land of Egypt, in the sight of Pharaoh's servants and in the sight of the people.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:8 - “And all these your servants shall come down to me and bow down to me, saying, ‘Get out, and all the people who follow you!' After that I will go out.” Then he went out from Pharaoh in great anger.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:9 - But the LORD said to Moses, “Pharaoh will not heed you, so that My wonders may be multiplied in the land of Egypt.”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 11:10 - So Moses and Aaron did all these wonders before Pharaoh; and the LORD hardened Pharaoh's heart, and he did not let the children of Israel go out of his land.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:1 - Now the LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt, saying,
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:4 - ‘And if the household is too small for the lamb, let him and his neighbor next to his house take it according to the number of the persons; according to each man's need you shall make your count for the lamb.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:10 - ‘You shall let none of it remain until morning, and what remains of it until morning you shall burn with fire.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:11 - ‘And thus you shall eat it: with a belt on your waist, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand. So you shall eat it in haste. It is the LORD's Passover.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:15 - ‘Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread. On the first day you shall remove leaven from your houses. For whoever eats leavened bread from the first day until the seventh day, that person shall be cut off from Israel.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:20 - ‘You shall eat nothing leavened; in all your dwellings you shall eat unleavened bread.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:21 - Then Moses called for all the elders of Israel and said to them, “Pick out and take lambs for yourselves according to your families, and kill the Passover lamb.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:22 - “And you shall take a bunch of hyssop, dip it in the blood that is in the basin, and strike the lintel and the two doorposts with the blood that is in the basin. And none of you shall go out of the door of his house until morning.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:25 - “It will come to pass when you come to the land which the LORD will give you, just as He promised, that you shall keep this service.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:27 - “that you shall say, ‘It is the Passover sacrifice of the LORD, who passed over the houses of the children of Israel in Egypt when He struck the Egyptians and delivered our households.' ” So the people bowed their heads and worshiped.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 12:29 - And it came to pass at midnight that the LORD struck all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh who sat on his throne to the firstborn of the captive who was in the dungeon, and all the firstborn of livestock.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:6 - “Seven days you shall eat unleavened bread, and on the seventh day there shall be a feast to the LORD.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:13 - “But every firstborn of a donkey you shall redeem with a lamb; and if you will not redeem it, then you shall break its neck. And all the firstborn of man among your sons you shall redeem.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:14 - “So it shall be, when your son asks you in time to come, saying, ‘What is this?' that you shall say to him, ‘By strength of hand the LORD brought us out of Egypt, out of the house of bondage.
Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:15 - ‘And it came to pass, when Pharaoh was stubborn about letting us go, that the LORD killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, both the firstborn of man and the firstborn of beast.

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 13:17 - Then it came to pass, when Pharaoh had let the people go, that God did not lead them by way of the land of the Philistines, although that was near; for God said, “Lest perhaps the people change their minds when they see war, and return to Egypt.”

Unchecked Copy BoxExo 14:27 - And Moses stretched out his hand over the sea; and when the morning appeared, the sea returned to its full depth, while the Egyptians were fleeing into it. So the LORD overthrew the Egyptians in the midst of the sea.

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:6 - And the LORD said to Satan, “Behold, he is in your hand, but spare his life.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:7 - So Satan went out from the presence of the LORD, and struck Job with painful boils from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:9 - Then his wife said to him, “Do you still hold fast to your integrity? Curse God and die!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:10 - But he said to her, “You speak as one of the foolish women speaks. Shall we indeed accept good from God, and shall we not accept adversity?” In all this Job did not sin with his lips.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:11 - Now when Job's three friends heard of all this adversity that had come upon him, each one came from his own place—Eliphaz the Temanite, Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite. For they had made an appointment together to come and mourn with him, and to comfort him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 2:12 - And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:5 - May darkness and the shadow of death claim it;
May a cloud settle on it;
May the blackness of the day terrify it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:11 - “Why did I not die at birth?
Why did I not perish when I came from the womb?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:12 - Why did the knees receive me?
Or why the breasts, that I should nurse?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:13 - For now I would have lain still and been quiet,
I would have been asleep;
Then I would have been at rest
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:18 - There the prisoners rest together;
They do not hear the voice of the oppressor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:20 - “Why is light given to him who is in misery,
And life to the bitter of soul,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:22 - Who rejoice exceedingly,
And are glad when they can find the grave?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 3:24 - For my sighing comes before I eat,[fn]
And my groanings pour out like water.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:1 - Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:2 - If one attempts a word with you, will you become weary?
But who can withhold himself from speaking?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:5 - But now it comes upon you, and you are weary;
It touches you, and you are troubled.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:8 - Even as I have seen,
Those who plow iniquity
And sow trouble reap the same.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:9 - By the blast of God they perish,
And by the breath of His anger they are consumed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:10 - The roaring of the lion,
The voice of the fierce lion,
And the teeth of the young lions are broken.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:11 - The old lion perishes for lack of prey,
And the cubs of the lioness are scattered.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:13 - In disquieting thoughts from the visions of the night,
When deep sleep falls on men,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:18 - If He puts no trust in His servants,
If He charges His angels with error,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 4:19 - How much more those who dwell in houses of clay,
Whose foundation is in the dust,
Who are crushed before a moth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:2 - For wrath kills a foolish man,
And envy slays a simple one.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:3 - I have seen the foolish taking root,
But suddenly I cursed his dwelling place.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:4 - His sons are far from safety,
They are crushed in the gate,
And there is no deliverer.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:5 - Because the hungry eat up his harvest,
Taking it even from the thorns,[fn]
And a snare snatches their substance.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:7 - Yet man is born to trouble,
As the sparks fly upward.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:8 - “But as for me, I would seek God,
And to God I would commit my cause—
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:13 - He catches the wise in their own craftiness,
And the counsel of the cunning comes quickly upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:14 - They meet with darkness in the daytime,
And grope at noontime as in the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:15 - But He saves the needy from the sword,
From the mouth of the mighty,
And from their hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:16 - So the poor have hope,
And injustice shuts her mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:17 - “Behold, happy is the man whom God corrects;
Therefore do not despise the chastening of the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:19 - He shall deliver you in six troubles,
Yes, in seven no evil shall touch you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:20 - In famine He shall redeem you from death,
And in war from the power of the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:22 - You shall laugh at destruction and famine,
And you shall not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:24 - You shall know that your tent is in peace;
You shall visit your dwelling and find nothing amiss.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:25 - You shall also know that your descendants shall be many,
And your offspring like the grass of the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:26 - You shall come to the grave at a full age,
As a sheaf of grain ripens in its season.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 5:27 - Behold, this we have searched out;
It is true.
Hear it, and know for yourself.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:2 - “Oh, that my grief were fully weighed,
And my calamity laid with it on the scales!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:5 - Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass,
Or does the ox low over its fodder?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:6 - Can flavorless food be eaten without salt?
Or is there any taste in the white of an egg?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:9 - That it would please God to crush me,
That He would loose His hand and cut me off!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:13 - Is my help not within me?
And is success driven from me?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:14 - “To him who is afflicted, kindness should be shown by his friend,
Even though he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:18 - The paths of their way turn aside,
They go nowhere and perish.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:21 - For now you are nothing,
You see terror and are afraid.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:24 - “Teach me, and I will hold my tongue;
Cause me to understand wherein I have erred.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:27 - Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless,
And you undermine your friend.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 6:28 - Now therefore, be pleased to look at me;
For I would never lie to your face.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:3 - So I have been allotted months of futility,
And wearisome nights have been appointed to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:4 - When I lie down, I say, ‘When shall I arise,
And the night be ended?'
For I have had my fill of tossing till dawn.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:5 - My flesh is caked with worms and dust,
My skin is cracked and breaks out afresh.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:6 - “My days are swifter than a weaver's shuttle,
And are spent without hope.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:13 - When I say, ‘My bed will comfort me,
My couch will ease my complaint,'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:15 - So that my soul chooses strangling
And death rather than my body.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:20 - Have I sinned?
What have I done to You, O watcher of men?
Why have You set me as Your target,
So that I am a burden to myself?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 7:21 - Why then do You not pardon my transgression,
And take away my iniquity?
For now I will lie down in the dust,
And You will seek me diligently,
But I will no longer be.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:1 - Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:5 - If you would earnestly seek God
And make your supplication to the Almighty,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:7 - Though your beginning was small,
Yet your latter end would increase abundantly.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:8 - “For inquire, please, of the former age,
And consider the things discovered by their fathers;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:14 - Whose confidence shall be cut off,
And whose trust is a spider's web.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:15 - He leans on his house, but it does not stand.
He holds it fast, but it does not endure.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:17 - His roots wrap around the rock heap,
And look for a place in the stones.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:19 - “Behold, this is the joy of His way,
And out of the earth others will grow.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:20 - Behold, God will not cast away the blameless,
Nor will He uphold the evildoers.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:21 - He will yet fill your mouth with laughing,
And your lips with rejoicing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 8:22 - Those who hate you will be clothed with shame,
And the dwelling place of the wicked will come to nothing.”[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:6 - He shakes the earth out of its place,
And its pillars tremble;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:7 - He commands the sun, and it does not rise;
He seals off the stars;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:24 - The earth is given into the hand of the wicked.
He covers the faces of its judges.
If it is not He, who else could it be?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:25 - “Now my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:34 - Let Him take His rod away from me,
And do not let dread of Him terrify me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:3 - Does it seem good to You that You should oppress,
That You should despise the work of Your hands,
And smile on the counsel of the wicked?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:9 - Remember, I pray, that You have made me like clay.
And will You turn me into dust again?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:11 - Clothe me with skin and flesh,
And knit me together with bones and sinews?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:12 - You have granted me life and favor,
And Your care has preserved my spirit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:14 - If I sin, then You mark me,
And will not acquit me of my iniquity.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:16 - If my head is exalted,
You hunt me like a fierce lion,
And again You show Yourself awesome against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 10:17 - You renew Your witnesses against me,
And increase Your indignation toward me;
Changes and war are ever with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:1 - Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:8 - They are higher than heaven— what can you do?
Deeper than Sheol— what can you know?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:10 - “If He passes by, imprisons, and gathers to judgment,
Then who can hinder Him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:11 - For He knows deceitful men;
He sees wickedness also.
Will He not then consider it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:12 - For an empty-headed man will be wise,
When a wild donkey's colt is born a man.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:13 - “If you would prepare your heart,
And stretch out your hands toward Him;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:14 - If iniquity were in your hand, and you put it far away,
And would not let wickedness dwell in your tents;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:15 - Then surely you could lift up your face without spot;
Yes, you could be steadfast, and not fear;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:17 - And your life would be brighter than noonday.
Though you were dark, you would be like the morning.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:18 - And you would be secure, because there is hope;
Yes, you would dig around you, and take your rest in safety.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:19 - You would also lie down, and no one would make you afraid;
Yes, many would court your favor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 11:20 - But the eyes of the wicked will fail,
And they shall not escape,
And their hope—loss of life!”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:6 - The tents of robbers prosper,
And those who provoke God are secure—
In what God provides by His hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:7 - “But now ask the beasts, and they will teach you;
And the birds of the air, and they will tell you;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:8 - Or speak to the earth, and it will teach you;
And the fish of the sea will explain to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:11 - Does not the ear test words
And the mouth taste its food?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:12 - Wisdom is with aged men,
And with length of days, understanding.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:15 - If He withholds the waters, they dry up;
If He sends them out, they overwhelm the earth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:17 - He leads counselors away plundered,
And makes fools of the judges.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:19 - He leads princes[fn] away plundered,
And overthrows the mighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:20 - He deprives the trusted ones of speech,
And takes away the discernment of the elders.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:21 - He pours contempt on princes,
And disarms the mighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:22 - He uncovers deep things out of darkness,
And brings the shadow of death to light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:24 - He takes away the understanding[fn] of the chiefs of the people of the earth,
And makes them wander in a pathless wilderness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 12:25 - They grope in the dark without light,
And He makes them stagger like a drunken man.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:3 - But I would speak to the Almighty,
And I desire to reason with God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:5 - Oh, that you would be silent,
And it would be your wisdom!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:6 - Now hear my reasoning,
And heed the pleadings of my lips.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:7 - Will you speak wickedly for God,
And talk deceitfully for Him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:8 - Will you show partiality for Him?
Will you contend for God?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:10 - He will surely rebuke you
If you secretly show partiality.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:11 - Will not His excellence make you afraid,
And the dread of Him fall upon you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:12 - Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes,
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 13:27 - You put my feet in the stocks,
And watch closely all my paths.
You set a limit[fn] for the soles of my feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:2 - He comes forth like a flower and fades away;
He flees like a shadow and does not continue.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:5 - Since his days are determined,
The number of his months is with You;
You have appointed his limits, so that he cannot pass.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:8 - Though its root may grow old in the earth,
And its stump may die in the ground,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:9 - Yet at the scent of water it will bud
And bring forth branches like a plant.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:10 - But man dies and is laid away;
Indeed he breathes his last
And where is he?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:11 - As water disappears from the sea,
And a river becomes parched and dries up,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:12 - So man lies down and does not rise.
Till the heavens are no more,
They will not awake
Nor be roused from their sleep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:15 - You shall call, and I will answer You;
You shall desire the work of Your hands.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:21 - His sons come to honor, and he does not know it;
They are brought low, and he does not perceive it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 14:22 - But his flesh will be in pain over it,
And his soul will mourn over it.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:1 - Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:4 - Yes, you cast off fear,
And restrain prayer before God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:6 - Your own mouth condemns you, and not I;
Yes, your own lips testify against you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:8 - Have you heard the counsel of God?
Do you limit wisdom to yourself?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:13 - That you turn your spirit against God,
And let such words go out of your mouth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:15 - If God puts no trust in His saints,
And the heavens are not pure in His sight,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:16 - How much less man, who is abominable and filthy,
Who drinks iniquity like water!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:20 - The wicked man writhes with pain all his days,
And the number of years is hidden from the oppressor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:21 - Dreadful sounds are in his ears;
In prosperity the destroyer comes upon him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:23 - He wanders about for bread, saying, ‘Where is it?'
He knows that a day of darkness is ready at his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:24 - Trouble and anguish make him afraid;
They overpower him, like a king ready for battle.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:25 - For he stretches out his hand against God,
And acts defiantly against the Almighty,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:26 - Running stubbornly against Him
With his strong, embossed shield.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:28 - He dwells in desolate cities,
In houses which no one inhabits,
Which are destined to become ruins.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:30 - He will not depart from darkness;
The flame will dry out his branches,
And by the breath of His mouth he will go away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:33 - He will shake off his unripe grape like a vine,
And cast off his blossom like an olive tree.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:34 - For the company of hypocrites will be barren,
And fire will consume the tents of bribery.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 15:35 - They conceive trouble and bring forth futility;
Their womb prepares deceit.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:4 - I also could speak as you do,
If your soul were in my soul's place.
I could heap up words against you,
And shake my head at you;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:5 - But I would strengthen you with my mouth,
And the comfort of my lips would relieve your grief.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:6 - “Though I speak, my grief is not relieved;
And if I remain silent, how am I eased?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:7 - But now He has worn me out;
You have made desolate all my company.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:10 - They gape at me with their mouth,
They strike me reproachfully on the cheek,
They gather together against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:11 - God has delivered me to the ungodly,
And turned me over to the hands of the wicked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:15 - “I have sewn sackcloth over my skin,
And laid my head[fn] in the dust.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:16 - My face is flushed from weeping,
And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:17 - Although no violence is in my hands,
And my prayer is pure.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:19 - Surely even now my witness is in heaven,
And my evidence is on high.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:20 - My friends scorn me;
My eyes pour out tears to God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:21 - Oh, that one might plead for a man with God,
As a man pleads for his neighbor!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 16:22 - For when a few years are finished,
I shall go the way of no return.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:1 - “My spirit is broken,
My days are extinguished,
The grave is ready for me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:6 - “But He has made me a byword of the people,
And I have become one in whose face men spit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:8 - Upright men are astonished at this,
And the innocent stirs himself up against the hypocrite.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:9 - Yet the righteous will hold to his way,
And he who has clean hands will be stronger and stronger.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:10 - “But please, come back again, all of you,[fn]
For I shall not find one wise man among you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:11 - My days are past,
My purposes are broken off,
Even the thoughts of my heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 17:13 - If I wait for the grave as my house,
If I make my bed in the darkness,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:1 - Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:6 - The light is dark in his tent,
And his lamp beside him is put out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:7 - The steps of his strength are shortened,
And his own counsel casts him down.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:8 - For he is cast into a net by his own feet,
And he walks into a snare.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:9 - The net takes him by the heel,
And a snare lays hold of him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:11 - Terrors frighten him on every side,
And drive him to his feet.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:12 - His strength is starved,
And destruction is ready at his side.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:13 - It devours patches of his skin;
The firstborn of death devours his limbs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:14 - He is uprooted from the shelter of his tent,
And they parade him before the king of terrors.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:20 - Those in the west are astonished at his day,
As those in the east are frightened.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 18:21 - Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked,
And this is the place of him who does not know God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:4 - And if indeed I have erred,
My error remains with me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:5 - If indeed you exalt yourselves against me,
And plead my disgrace against me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:6 - Know then that God has wronged me,
And has surrounded me with His net.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:9 - He has stripped me of my glory,
And taken the crown from my head.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:10 - He breaks me down on every side,
And I am gone;
My hope He has uprooted like a tree.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:12 - His troops come together
And build up their road against me;
They encamp all around my tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:13 - “He has removed my brothers far from me,
And my acquaintances are completely estranged from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:17 - My breath is offensive to my wife,
And I am repulsive to the children of my own body.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:18 - Even young children despise me;
I arise, and they speak against me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:20 - My bone clings to my skin and to my flesh,
And I have escaped by the skin of my teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:22 - Why do you persecute me as God does,
And are not satisfied with my flesh?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:23 - “Oh, that my words were written!
Oh, that they were inscribed in a book!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 19:28 - If you should say, ‘How shall we persecute him?'—
Since the root of the matter is found in me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:1 - Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:5 - That the triumphing of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the hypocrite is but for a moment?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:6 - Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens,
And his head reaches to the clouds,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:7 - Yet he will perish forever like his own refuse;
Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:8 - He will fly away like a dream, and not be found;
Yes, he will be chased away like a vision of the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:10 - His children will seek the favor of the poor,
And his hands will restore his wealth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:16 - He will suck the poison of cobras;
The viper's tongue will slay him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:19 - For he has oppressed and forsaken the poor,
He has violently seized a house which he did not build.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:22 - In his self-sufficiency he will be in distress;
Every hand of misery will come against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:25 - It is drawn, and comes out of the body;
Yes, the glittering point comes out of his gall.
Terrors come upon him;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:26 - Total darkness is reserved for his treasures.
An unfanned fire will consume him;
It shall go ill with him who is left in his tent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 20:27 - The heavens will reveal his iniquity,
And the earth will rise up against him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:3 - Bear with me that I may speak,
And after I have spoken, keep mocking.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:7 - Why do the wicked live and become old,
Yes, become mighty in power?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:8 - Their descendants are established with them in their sight,
And their offspring before their eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:9 - Their houses are safe from fear,
Neither is the rod of God upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:10 - Their bull breeds without failure;
Their cow calves without miscarriage.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:11 - They send forth their little ones like a flock,
And their children dance.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:13 - They spend their days in wealth,
And in a moment go down to the grave.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:14 - Yet they say to God, ‘Depart from us,
For we do not desire the knowledge of Your ways.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:16 - Indeed their prosperity is not in their hand;
The counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:17 - “How often is the lamp of the wicked put out?
How often does their destruction come upon them,
The sorrows God distributes in His anger?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:18 - They are like straw before the wind,
And like chaff that a storm carries away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:20 - Let his eyes see his destruction,
And let him drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:22 - “Can anyone teach God knowledge,
Since He judges those on high?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:23 - One dies in his full strength,
Being wholly at ease and secure;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:24 - His pails[fn] are full of milk,
And the marrow of his bones is moist.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:25 - Another man dies in the bitterness of his soul,
Never having eaten with pleasure.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:26 - They lie down alike in the dust,
And worms cover them.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 21:34 - How then can you comfort me with empty words,
Since falsehood remains in your answers?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:1 - Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:6 - For you have taken pledges from your brother for no reason,
And stripped the naked of their clothing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:8 - But the mighty man possessed the land,
And the honorable man dwelt in it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:9 - You have sent widows away empty,
And the strength of the fatherless was crushed.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:11 - Or darkness so that you cannot see;
And an abundance of water covers you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:12 - “Is not God in the height of heaven?
And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:18 - Yet He filled their houses with good things;
But the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:19 - “The righteous see it and are glad,
And the innocent laugh at them:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:22 - Receive, please, instruction from His mouth,
And lay up His words in your heart.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:23 - If you return to the Almighty, you will be built up;
You will remove iniquity far from your tents.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:25 - Yes, the Almighty will be your gold[fn]
And your precious silver;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 22:28 - You will also declare a thing,
And it will be established for you;
So light will shine on your ways.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:1 - Then Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:4 - I would present my case before Him,
And fill my mouth with arguments.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:5 - I would know the words which He would answer me,
And understand what He would say to me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:7 - There the upright could reason with Him,
And I would be delivered forever from my Judge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:8 - “Look, I go forward, but He is not there,
And backward, but I cannot perceive Him;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:11 - My foot has held fast to His steps;
I have kept His way and not turned aside.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:12 - I have not departed from the commandment of His lips;
I have treasured the words of His mouth
More than my necessary food.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:13 - “But He is unique, and who can make Him change?
And whatever His soul desires, that He does.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:15 - Therefore I am terrified at His presence;
When I consider this, I am afraid of Him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 23:16 - For God made my heart weak,
And the Almighty terrifies me;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:1 - Since times are not hidden from the Almighty,
Why do those who know Him see not His days?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:2 - Some remove landmarks;
They seize flocks violently and feed on them;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:5 - Indeed, like wild donkeys in the desert,
They go out to their work, searching for food.
The wilderness yields food for them and for their children.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:6 - They gather their fodder in the field
And glean in the vineyard of the wicked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:7 - They spend the night naked, without clothing,
And have no covering in the cold.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:9 - Some snatch the fatherless from the breast,
And take a pledge from the poor.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:10 - They cause the poor to go naked, without clothing;
And they take away the sheaves from the hungry.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:11 - They press out oil within their walls,
And tread winepresses, yet suffer thirst.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:12 - The dying groan in the city,
And the souls of the wounded cry out;
Yet God does not charge them with wrong.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:13 - “There are those who rebel against the light;
They do not know its ways
Nor abide in its paths.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:14 - The murderer rises with the light;
He kills the poor and needy;
And in the night he is like a thief.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:19 - As drought and heat consume the snow waters,
So the grave[fn] consumes those who have sinned.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:20 - The womb should forget him,
The worm should feed sweetly on him;
He should be remembered no more,
And wickedness should be broken like a tree.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:22 - “But God draws the mighty away with His power;
He rises up, but no man is sure of life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:24 - They are exalted for a little while,
Then they are gone.
They are brought low;
They are taken out of the way like all others;
They dry out like the heads of grain.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 24:25 - “Now if it is not so, who will prove me a liar,
And make my speech worth nothing?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 25:1 - Then Bildad the Shuhite answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 25:3 - Is there any number to His armies?
Upon whom does His light not rise?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 25:5 - If even the moon does not shine,
And the stars are not pure in His sight,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:1 - But Job answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:4 - To whom have you uttered words?
And whose spirit came from you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:12 - He stirs up the sea with His power,
And by His understanding He breaks up the storm.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:13 - By His Spirit He adorned the heavens;
His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 26:14 - Indeed these are the mere edges of His ways,
And how small a whisper we hear of Him!
But the thunder of His power who can understand?”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:1 - Moreover Job continued his discourse, and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:3 - As long as my breath is in me,
And the breath of God in my nostrils,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:6 - My righteousness I hold fast, and will not let it go;
My heart shall not reproach me as long as I live.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:7 - “May my enemy be like the wicked,
And he who rises up against me like the unrighteous.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:13 - “This is the portion of a wicked man with God,
And the heritage of oppressors, received from the Almighty:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:14 - If his children are multiplied, it is for the sword;
And his offspring shall not be satisfied with bread.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:15 - Those who survive him shall be buried in death,
And their[fn] widows shall not weep,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:16 - Though he heaps up silver like dust,
And piles up clothing like clay—
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:17 - He may pile it up, but the just will wear it,
And the innocent will divide the silver.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:18 - He builds his house like a moth,[fn]
Like a booth which a watchman makes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 27:20 - Terrors overtake him like a flood;
A tempest steals him away in the night.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:1 - “Surely there is a mine for silver,
And a place where gold is refined.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:2 - Iron is taken from the earth,
And copper is smelted from ore.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:4 - He breaks open a shaft away from people;
In places forgotten by feet
They hang far away from men;
They swing to and fro.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:9 - He puts his hand on the flint;
He overturns the mountains at the roots.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:10 - He cuts out channels in the rocks,
And his eye sees every precious thing.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:11 - He dams up the streams from trickling;
What is hidden he brings forth to light.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:12 - “But where can wisdom be found?
And where is the place of understanding?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:20 - “From where then does wisdom come?
And where is the place of understanding?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:22 - Destruction and Death say,
‘We have heard a report about it with our ears.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:23 - God understands its way,
And He knows its place.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 28:28 - And to man He said,
‘Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom,
And to depart from evil is understanding.' ”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:1 - Job further continued his discourse, and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:6 - When my steps were bathed with cream,[fn]
And the rock poured out rivers of oil for me!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:7 - “When I went out to the gate by the city,
When I took my seat in the open square,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:8 - The young men saw me and hid,
And the aged arose and stood;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:9 - The princes refrained from talking,
And put their hand on their mouth;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:10 - The voice of nobles was hushed,
And their tongue stuck to the roof of their mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:11 - When the ear heard, then it blessed me,
And when the eye saw, then it approved me;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:13 - The blessing of a perishing man came upon me,
And I caused the widow's heart to sing for joy.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:14 - I put on righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:15 - I was eyes to the blind,
And I was feet to the lame.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:17 - I broke the fangs of the wicked,
And plucked the victim from his teeth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:21 - Men listened to me and waited,
And kept silence for my counsel.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 29:22 - After my words they did not speak again,
And my speech settled on them as dew.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:1 - “But now they mock at me, men younger than I,
Whose fathers I disdained to put with the dogs of my flock.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:4 - Who pluck mallow by the bushes,
And broom tree roots for their food.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:9 - “And now I am their taunting song;
Yes, I am their byword.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:10 - They abhor me, they keep far from me;
They do not hesitate to spit in my face.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:17 - My bones are pierced in me at night,
And my gnawing pains take no rest.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:20 - “I cry out to You, but You do not answer me;
I stand up, and You regard me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:25 - Have I not wept for him who was in trouble?
Has not my soul grieved for the poor?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:26 - But when I looked for good, evil came to me;
And when I waited for light, then came darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:28 - I go about mourning, but not in the sun;
I stand up in the assembly and cry out for help.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:29 - I am a brother of jackals,
And a companion of ostriches.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:30 - My skin grows black and falls from me;
My bones burn with fever.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 30:31 - My harp is turned to mourning,
And my flute to the voice of those who weep.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:5 - “If I have walked with falsehood,
Or if my foot has hastened to deceit,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:6 - Let me be weighed on honest scales,
That God may know my integrity.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:7 - If my step has turned from the way,
Or my heart walked after my eyes,
Or if any spot adheres to my hands,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:8 - Then let me sow, and another eat;
Yes, let my harvest be rooted out.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:10 - Then let my wife grind for another,
And let others bow down over her.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:13 - “If I have despised the cause of my male or female servant
When they complained against me,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:14 - What then shall I do when God rises up?
When He punishes, how shall I answer Him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:15 - Did not He who made me in the womb make them?
Did not the same One fashion us in the womb?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:16 - “If I have kept the poor from their desire,
Or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:17 - Or eaten my morsel by myself,
So that the fatherless could not eat of it
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:19 - If I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
Or any poor man without covering;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:20 - If his heart[fn] has not blessed me,
And if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:22 - Then let my arm fall from my shoulder,
Let my arm be torn from the socket.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:24 - “If I have made gold my hope,
Or said to fine gold, ‘You are my confidence';
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:25 - If I have rejoiced because my wealth was great,
And because my hand had gained much;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:26 - If I have observed the sun[fn] when it shines,
Or the moon moving in brightness,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:27 - So that my heart has been secretly enticed,
And my mouth has kissed my hand;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:29 - “If I have rejoiced at the destruction of him who hated me,
Or lifted myself up when evil found him
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:30 - (Indeed I have not allowed my mouth to sin
By asking for a curse on his soul);
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:31 - If the men of my tent have not said,
‘Who is there that has not been satisfied with his meat?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:32 - (But no sojourner had to lodge in the street,
For I have opened my doors to the traveler[fn]);
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:33 - If I have covered my transgressions as Adam,
By hiding my iniquity in my bosom,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:34 - Because I feared the great multitude,
And dreaded the contempt of families,
So that I kept silence
And did not go out of the door—
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:35 - Oh, that I had one to hear me!
Here is my mark.
Oh, that the Almighty would answer me,
That my Prosecutor had written a book!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:38 - “If my land cries out against me,
And its furrows weep together;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:39 - If I have eaten its fruit[fn] without money,
Or caused its owners to lose their lives;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 31:40 - Then let thistles grow instead of wheat,
And weeds instead of barley.”
The words of Job are ended.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:1 - So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:2 - Then the wrath of Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was aroused against Job; his wrath was aroused because he justified himself rather than God.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:3 - Also against his three friends his wrath was aroused, because they had found no answer, and yet had condemned Job.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:4 - Now because they were years older than he, Elihu had waited to speak to Job.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:6 - So Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, answered and said:

“I am young in years, and you are very old;
Therefore I was afraid,
And dared not declare my opinion to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:7 - I said, ‘Age[fn] should speak,
And multitude of years should teach wisdom.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:8 - But there is a spirit in man,
And the breath of the Almighty gives him understanding.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:14 - Now he has not directed his words against me;
So I will not answer him with your words.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:17 - I also will answer my part,
I too will declare my opinion.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:19 - Indeed my belly is like wine that has no vent;
It is ready to burst like new wineskins.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 32:22 - For I do not know how to flatter,
Else my Maker would soon take me away.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:1 - “But please, Job, hear my speech,
And listen to all my words.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:3 - My words come from my upright heart;
My lips utter pure knowledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:4 - The Spirit of God has made me,
And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:10 - Yet He finds occasions against me,
He counts me as His enemy;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:11 - He puts my feet in the stocks,
He watches all my paths.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:14 - For God may speak in one way, or in another,
Yet man does not perceive it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:17 - In order to turn man from his deed,
And conceal pride from man,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:18 - He keeps back his soul from the Pit,
And his life from perishing by the sword.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:19 - Man is also chastened with pain on his bed,
And with strong pain in many of his bones,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:20 - So that his life abhors bread,
And his soul succulent food.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:22 - Yes, his soul draws near the Pit,
And his life to the executioners.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:23 - “If there is a messenger for him,
A mediator, one among a thousand,
To show man His uprightness,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:24 - Then He is gracious to him, and says,
‘Deliver him from going down to the Pit;
I have found a ransom';
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:25 - His flesh shall be young like a child's,
He shall return to the days of his youth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 33:26 - He shall pray to God, and He will delight in him,
He shall see His face with joy,
For He restores to man His righteousness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:1 - Elihu further answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:6 - Should I lie concerning my right?
My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:12 - Surely God will never do wickedly,
Nor will the Almighty pervert justice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:15 - All flesh would perish together,
And man would return to dust.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:16 - “If you have understanding, hear this;
Listen to the sound of my words:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:20 - In a moment they die, in the middle of the night;
The people are shaken and pass away;
The mighty are taken away without a hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:21 - “For His eyes are on the ways of man,
And He sees all his steps.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:26 - He strikes them as wicked men
In the open sight of others,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:27 - Because they turned back from Him,
And would not consider any of His ways,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:34 - “Men of understanding say to me,
Wise men who listen to me:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:35 - ‘Job speaks without knowledge,
His words are without wisdom.'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:36 - Oh, that Job were tried to the utmost,
Because his answers are like those of wicked men!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 34:37 - For he adds rebellion to his sin;
He claps his hands among us,
And multiplies his words against God.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:1 - Moreover Elihu answered and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:5 - Look to the heavens and see;
And behold the clouds—
They are higher than you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:6 - If you sin, what do you accomplish against Him?
Or, if your transgressions are multiplied, what do you do to Him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:7 - If you are righteous, what do you give Him?
Or what does He receive from your hand?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:11 - Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth,
And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 35:14 - Although you say you do not see Him,
Yet justice is before Him, and you must wait for Him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:1 - Elihu also proceeded and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:5 - “Behold, God is mighty, but despises no one;
He is mighty in strength of understanding.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:12 - But if they do not obey,
They shall perish by the sword,
And they shall die without knowledge.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:14 - They die in youth,
And their life ends among the perverted persons.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:15 - He delivers the poor in their affliction,
And opens their ears in oppression.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:17 - But you are filled with the judgment due the wicked;
Judgment and justice take hold of you.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:18 - Because there is wrath, beware lest He take you away with one blow;
For a large ransom would not help you avoid it.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:27 - For He draws up drops of water,
Which distill as rain from the mist,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 36:28 - Which the clouds drop down
And pour abundantly on man.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:8 - The beasts go into dens,
And remain in their lairs.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:9 - From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind,
And cold from the scattering winds of the north.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:10 - By the breath of God ice is given,
And the broad waters are frozen.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:16 - Do you know how the clouds are balanced,
Those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:17 - Why are your garments hot,
When He quiets the earth by the south wind?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 37:24 - Therefore men fear Him;
He shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:1 - Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:2 - “Who is this who darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:8 - “Or who shut in the sea with doors,
When it burst forth and issued from the womb;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:9 - When I made the clouds its garment,
And thick darkness its swaddling band;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:10 - When I fixed My limit for it,
And set bars and doors;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:11 - When I said,
‘This far you may come, but no farther,
And here your proud waves must stop!'
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:12 - “Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
And caused the dawn to know its place,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:15 - From the wicked their light is withheld,
And the upraised arm is broken.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:16 - “Have you entered the springs of the sea?
Or have you walked in search of the depths?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:17 - Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:18 - Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know all this.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:19 - “Where is the way to the dwelling of light?
And darkness, where is its place,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:20 - That you may take it to its territory,
That you may know the paths to its home?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:21 - Do you know it, because you were born then,
Or because the number of your days is great?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:22 - “Have you entered the treasury of snow,
Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:24 - By what way is light diffused,
Or the east wind scattered over the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:25 - “Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water,
Or a path for the thunderbolt,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:29 - From whose womb comes the ice?
And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:30 - The waters harden like stone,
And the surface of the deep is frozen.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:31 - “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
Or loose the belt of Orion?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:33 - Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you set their dominion over the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:34 - “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
That an abundance of water may cover you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:35 - Can you send out lightnings, that they may go,
And say to you, ‘Here we are!'?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:36 - Who has put wisdom in the mind?[fn]
Or who has given understanding to the heart?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:37 - Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:38 - When the dust hardens in clumps,
And the clods cling together?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:39 - “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:40 - When they crouch in their dens,
Or lurk in their lairs to lie in wait?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:41 - Who provides food for the raven,
When its young ones cry to God,
And wander about for lack of food?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:1 - “Do you know the time when the wild mountain goats bear young?
Or can you mark when the deer gives birth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:2 - Can you number the months that they fulfill?
Or do you know the time when they bear young?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:3 - They bow down,
They bring forth their young,
They deliver their offspring.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:5 - “Who set the wild donkey free?
Who loosed the bonds of the onager,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:6 - Whose home I have made the wilderness,
And the barren land his dwelling?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:7 - He scorns the tumult of the city;
He does not heed the shouts of the driver.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:10 - Can you bind the wild ox in the furrow with ropes?
Or will he plow the valleys behind you?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:11 - Will you trust him because his strength is great?
Or will you leave your labor to him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:12 - Will you trust him to bring home your grain,
And gather it to your threshing floor?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:19 - “Have you given the horse strength?
Have you clothed his neck with thunder?[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:20 - Can you frighten him like a locust?
His majestic snorting strikes terror.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:21 - He paws in the valley, and rejoices in his strength;
He gallops into the clash of arms.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:25 - At the blast of the trumpet he says, ‘Aha!'
He smells the battle from afar,
The thunder of captains and shouting.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:26 - “Does the hawk fly by your wisdom,
And spread its wings toward the south?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:27 - Does the eagle mount up at your command,
And make its nest on high?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 39:30 - Its young ones suck up blood;
And where the slain are, there it is.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:3 - Then Job answered the LORD and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:4 - “Behold, I am vile;
What shall I answer You?
I lay my hand over my mouth.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:5 - Once I have spoken, but I will not answer;
Yes, twice, but I will proceed no further.”
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:6 - Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:10 - Then adorn yourself with majesty and splendor,
And array yourself with glory and beauty.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:11 - Disperse the rage of your wrath;
Look on everyone who is proud, and humble him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:12 - Look on everyone who is proud, and bring him low;
Tread down the wicked in their place.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:13 - Hide them in the dust together,
Bind their faces in hidden darkness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:16 - See now, his strength is in his hips,
And his power is in his stomach muscles.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:17 - He moves his tail like a cedar;
The sinews of his thighs are tightly knit.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:18 - His bones are like beams of bronze,
His ribs like bars of iron.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:20 - Surely the mountains yield food for him,
And all the beasts of the field play there.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 40:22 - The lotus trees cover him with their shade;
The willows by the brook surround him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:1 - “Can you draw out Leviathan[fn] with a hook,
Or snare his tongue with a line which you lower?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:2 - Can you put a reed through his nose,
Or pierce his jaw with a hook?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 41:4 - Will he make a covenant with you?
Will you take him as a servant forever?

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:11 - Then all his brothers, all his sisters, and all those who had been his acquaintances before, came to him and ate food with him in his house; and they consoled him and comforted him for all the adversity that the LORD had brought upon him. Each one gave him a piece of silver and each a ring of gold.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 42:12 - Now the LORD blessed the latter days of Job more than his beginning; for he had fourteen thousand sheep, six thousand camels, one thousand yoke of oxen, and one thousand female donkeys.

But the wicked and the one who loves violence His soul hates.
Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 13:5 - But I have trusted in Your mercy;

Unchecked Copy BoxPsa 15:4 - In whose eyes a vile person is despised,
But he honors those who fear the LORD;

And fools hate knowledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 1:23 - Turn at my rebuke;
Surely I will pour out my spirit on you;
I will make my words known to you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 1:25 - Because you disdained all my counsel,

A crown of glory she will deliver to you.”
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 4:12 - When you walk, your steps will not be hindered,
And when you run, you will not stumble.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 4:15 - Avoid it, do not travel on it;

And your eyelids look right before you.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 4:27 - Do not turn to the right or the left;
Remove your foot from evil.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:1 - My son, pay attention to my wisdom;
Lend your ear to my understanding,
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:2 - That you may preserve discretion,
And your lips may keep knowledge.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:5 - Her feet go down to death,
Her steps lay hold of hell.[fn]
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:6 - Lest you ponder her path of life—
Her ways are unstable;
You do not know them.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:10 - Lest aliens be filled with your wealth,
And your labors go to the house of a foreigner;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:16 - Should your fountains be dispersed abroad,
Streams of water in the streets?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:19 - As a loving deer and a graceful doe,
Let her breasts satisfy you at all times;
And always be enraptured with her love.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:21 - For the ways of man are before the eyes of the LORD,
And He ponders all his paths.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:22 - His own iniquities entrap the wicked man,
And he is caught in the cords of his sin.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 5:23 - He shall die for lack of instruction,

Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:3 - So do this, my son, and deliver yourself;
For you have come into the hand of your friend:
Go and humble yourself;
Plead with your friend.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:9 - How long will you slumber, O sluggard?
When will you rise from your sleep?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:10 - A little sleep, a little slumber,
A little folding of the hands to sleep—
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:11 - So shall your poverty come on you like a prowler,
And your need like an armed man.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:13 - He winks with his eyes,
He shuffles his feet,
He points with his fingers;
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:14 - Perversity is in his heart,
He devises evil continually,
He sows discord.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:16 - These six things the LORD hates,
Yes, seven are an abomination to Him:
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:21 - Bind them continually upon your heart;
Tie them around your neck.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:26 - For by means of a harlot
A man is reduced to a crust of bread;
And an adulteress[fn] will prey upon his precious life.
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:27 - Can a man take fire to his bosom,
And his clothes not be burned?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:28 - Can one walk on hot coals,
And his feet not be seared?
Unchecked Copy BoxPro 6:31 - Yet when he is found, he must restore sevenfold;
