Job
40:1 Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,
Job 40:2 Shall he that contendeth
with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.
Job 40:3 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job 40:4 Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee?
I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.
Job 40:5 Once have I spoken; but I will not answer:
yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.
Job 40:6 Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the
whirlwind, and said,
Job 40:7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will
demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Job 40:8 Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt
thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?
Job 40:9 Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou
thunder with a voice like him?
Job 40:10 Deck thyself now with
majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory
and beauty.
Job 40:11 Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold
every one that is proud, and abase him.
Job 40:12 Look on every one that
is proud, and
bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.
Job 40:13 Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

he eateth grass as an ox.
Job 40:16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.
Job 40:17 He moveth his tail
like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.
Job 40:18 His bones are
as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.
Job 40:19 He is
the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.
Job 40:20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food,
where all the beasts of the field play.
Job 40:21 He lieth under the
shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.
Job 40:22 The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook
compass him about.
Job 40:23 Behold, he drinketh
up a river, and hasteth
not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his
mouth.
Job 40:24 He taketh it with
his eyes: his nose pierceth
through snares.
Job 41
Job
41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with a hook? or
his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?
Job 41:2 Canst thou put a hook into his nose? or bore
his jaw through with a thorn?
Job 41:3 Will he make many supplications unto thee?
will he speak soft words unto thee?
Job 41:4 Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou
take him for a servant forever?
Job 41:5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy
maidens?
Job 41:6 Shall the companions make a banquet of him?
shall they part him among the merchants?
Job 41:7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons?
or his head with fish spears?
Job 41:8 Lay thine hand upon
him, remember the battle, do no more.
Job 41:9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not
one be cast down even at the sight of
him?
Job 41:10 None is
so fierce that dare stir him up: who
then is able to stand before me?
Job 41:11 Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever
is under the whole heaven is mine.
Job 41:12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power,
nor his comely proportion.
Job 41:13 Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to
him with his double bridle?
Job 41:14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth
are terrible round about.
Job 41:15 His
scales are his
pride, shut up together as with a close seal.
Job 41:16 One is so near to another, that no air can
come between them.
Job 41:17 They are joined one to another, they stick
together, that they cannot be sundered.
Job 41:18 By his sneezes a light doth shine, and his
eyes are like the eyelids of the
morning.
Job 41:19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.
Job 41:20 Out of his nostrils goeth
smoke, as out of a seething pot or
caldron.
Job 41:21 His breath kindleth
coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
Job 41:22 In his neck remaineth
strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.
Job 41:23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together:
they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.
Job 41:24 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard
as a piece of the nether millstone.
Job 41:25 When he raiseth up
himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.
Job 41:26 The sword of him that layeth
at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.
Job 41:27 He esteemeth iron
as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
Job 41:28 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.
Job 41:29 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.
Job 41:30 Sharp stones are
under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the
mire.
Job 41:31 He maketh the deep
to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of
ointment.
Job 41:32 He maketh a path to
shine after him; one would think the
deep to be
hoary.
Job 41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made
without fear.
Job 41:34 He beholdeth all
high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
Job 42
Job
42:1 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
Job 42:2 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that
no thought can be withheld from thee.
Job 42:3 Who is
he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore
have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew
not.
Job 42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I
will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Job 42:5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the
ear: but now mine eye seeth thee.
Job 42:6 Wherefore I abhor myself,
and repent in dust and ashes.
Job 42:7 And it was so,
that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is
kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me
the thing
that is
right, as my servant Job hath.
Job 42:8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks
and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt
offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I
deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is
right, like my servant Job.
Job 42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and
did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.
Job 42:10 And the LORD turned the captivity of Job,
when he prayed for his friends: also the LORD gave Job twice as much as he had
before.
Job 42:11 Then came there unto him all his brethren,
and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and
did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him
over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a
piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
Job 42:12 So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job
more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand
camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she asses.
Job 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Job 42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemima;
and the name of the second, Kezia; and the name of
the third, Keren-happuch.
Job 42:15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father
gave them inheritance among their brethren.
Job 42:16 After this lived Job a hundred and forty
years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even
four generations.
Job 42:17 So Job died, being
old and full of days.
1Timothy 1
1Ti
1:1 Paul, an apostle of Jesus Christ by the
commandment of God our Saviour, and Lord Jesus Christ, which is
our hope;
1Ti 1:2 Unto Timothy, my
own son in the faith: Grace, mercy, and
peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord.
1Ti 1:3 As I besought thee to abide still at Ephesus,
when I went into Macedonia, that thou mightest charge
some that they teach no other doctrine,
1Ti 1:4 Neither give heed to fables and endless
genealogies, which minister questions, rather than godly edifying which is in
faith: so do.
1Ti 1:5 Now the end of the commandment is charity out
of a pure heart, and of a good
conscience, and of faith unfeigned:
1Ti 1:6 From which some having swerved have turned
aside unto vain jangling;
1Ti 1:7 Desiring to be teachers of the law;
understanding neither what they say, nor whereof they affirm.
1Ti 1:8 But we know that the law is good, if a man use it lawfully;
1Ti 1:9 Knowing this, that the law is not made for a
righteous man, but for the lawless and disobedient, for the ungodly and for
sinners, for unholy and profane, for murderers of fathers and murderers of
mothers, for manslayers,
1Ti 1:10 For whoremongers, for them that defile
themselves with mankind, for menstealers, for liars,
for perjured persons, and if there be any other thing that is contrary to sound
doctrine;
1Ti 1:11 According to the glorious gospel of the
blessed God, which was committed to my trust.
1Ti 1:12 And I thank Christ Jesus our Lord, who hath
enabled me, for that he counted me faithful, putting me into the ministry;
1Ti 1:13 Who was before a blasphemer, and a
persecutor, and injurious: but I obtained mercy, because I did it ignorantly in unbelief.
1Ti 1:14 And the grace of our Lord was exceeding
abundant with faith and love which is in Christ Jesus.
1Ti 1:15 This is
a faithful saying, and worthy of all acceptation, that Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners; of whom I am chief.
1Ti 1:16 Howbeit for this cause I obtained mercy, that
in me first Jesus Christ might show forth all longsuffering, for a pattern to
them which should hereafter believe on him to life everlasting.
1Ti 1:17 Now unto the King eternal, immortal,
invisible, the only wise God, be honour
and glory forever and ever. Amen.
1Ti 1:18 This charge I commit unto thee, son Timothy,
according to the prophecies which went before on thee, that thou by them mightest war a good warfare;
1Ti 1:19 Holding faith, and a good conscience; which
some having put away concerning faith have made shipwreck:
1Ti 1:20 Of whom is Hymenaeus
and Alexander; whom I have delivered unto Satan, that they may learn not to
blaspheme.
