JOB
- He shall not save of that which he desired.
- There shall none of his meat be left;
- Therefore shall no man look for his goods.
- In the fulness of his sufficiency he shall be in straits:
- Every hand of the wicked shall come upon him.
- When he is about to fill his belly,
- God shall cast the fury of his wrath upon him,
- And shall rain it upon him while he is eating.
- He shall flee from the iron weapon,
- And the bow of steel shall strike him through.
- It is drawn, and cometh out of the body;
- Yea, the glittering sword cometh out of his gall:
- Terrors are upon him.
- All darkness shall be hid in his secret places:
- A fire not blown shall consume him;
- It shall go ill with him that is left in his tabernacle.
- The heaven shall reveal his iniquity;
- And the earth shall rise up against him.
- The increase of his house shall depart,
- And his goods shall flow away in the day of his wrath.
- This is the portion of a wicked man from God,
- And the heritage appointed unto him by God.
But Job answered and said,
- Hear diligently my speech.
- And let this be vour consolations.
- Suffer me that I may speak;
