18:008:007 Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase.
18:008:008 For enquire, I pray thee, of the former age, and prepare thyself to the search of their fathers:
18:008:009 (For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow:)
18:008:010 Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
18:008:011 Can the rush grow up without mire? can the flag grow without water?
18:008:012 Whilst it is yet in his greenness, and not cut down, it withereth before any other herb.
18:008:013 So are the paths of all that forget God; and the hypocrite's hope shall perish:
18:008:014 Whose hope shall be cut off, and whose trust shall be a spider's web.
18:008:015 He shall lean upon his house, but it shall not stand: he shall hold it fast, but it shall not endure.
18:008:016 He is green before the sun, and his branch shooteth forth in his garden.
18:008:017 His roots are wrapped about the heap, and seeth the place of stones.
18:008:018 If he destroy him from his place, then it shall deny him, saying, I have not seen thee.
18:008:019 Behold, this is the joy of his way, and out of the earth shall others grow.
18:008:020 Behold, God will not cast away a perfect man, neither will he help the evil doers:
18:008:021 Till he fill thy mouth with laughing, and thy lips with rejoicing.
18:008:022 They that hate thee shall be clothed with shame; and the dwelling place of the wicked shall come to nought.
18:009:001 Then Job answered and said,
18:009:002 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
18:009:003 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
18:009:004 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
18:009:005 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
18:009:006 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
18:009:007 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
18:009:008 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
18:009:009 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
18:009:010 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
18:009:011 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
18:009:012 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
18:009:013 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
18:009:014 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
18:009:015 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
18:009:016 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
18:009:017 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18:009:018 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
18:009:019 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
18:009:020 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
18:009:021 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
18:009:022 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
18:009:023 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
18:009:024 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
18:009:025 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
18:009:026 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
18:009:027 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
18:009:028 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
18:009:029 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
18:009:030 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
18:009:031 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
18:009:032 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
18:009:033 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
18:009:034 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
18:009:035 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
18:010:001 My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
18:010:002 I will say unto God, Do not condemn me; shew me wherefore thou contendest with me.
18:010:003 Is it good unto thee that thou shouldest oppress, that thou shouldest despise the work of thine hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
18:010:004 Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?
18:010:005 Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,
18:010:006 That thou enquirest after mine iniquity, and searchest after my sin?
18:010:007 Thou knowest that I am not wicked; and there is none that can deliver out of thine hand.
18:010:008 Thine hands have made me and fashioned me together round about; yet thou dost destroy me.
18:010:009 Remember, I beseech thee, that thou hast made me as the clay; and wilt thou bring me into dust again?
18:010:010 Hast thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
18:010:011 Thou hast clothed me with skin and flesh, and hast fenced me with bones and sinews.
