Be it known<S>3046</S> now<S>3705</S> unto the king<S>4430</S>, that<S>2006</S>, if this<S>1791</S> city<S>7149</S> be builded<S>1124</S>, and the walls<S>7792</S> finished<S>3635</S>, they will not<S>3809</S> pay<S>5415</S> tribute<S>1093</S>, custom<S>1983</S>, or toll<S>4061</S>, and in the end it will be hurtful<S>5142</S> unto<S>674</S> the kings<S>4430</S>.


text:
Now<S>3705</S> because<S>6903</S> we eat<S>1768</S> the salt<S>4415</S> of the palace<S>1965</S>, and it is not<S>3809</S> meet<S>749</S> for us to see<S>2370</S> the king<S>4430</S>'s dishonor<S>6173</S>, therefore<S>5922</S> have we sent<S>7972</S> and certified<S>3046</S> the king<S>4430</S>;

that search<S>1240</S> may be made in the book<S>5609</S> of the records<S>1799</S> of thy fathers<S>2</S>: so shalt thou find<S>7912</S> in the book<S>5609</S> of the records<S>1799</S>, and know<S>3046</S> that this<S>1791</S> city<S>7149</S> is a rebellious<S>4779</S> city<S>7149</S>, and hurtful<S>5142</S> unto kings<S>4430</S> and provinces<S>4083</S>, and that they have moved<S>5648</S> sedition<S>849</S> within the same<S>1459</S> of<S>4481</S> old<S>5957</S> time<S>3118</S>; for<S>5922</S> which<S>1836</S> cause was this<S>1791</S> city<S>7149</S> laid waste<S>2718</S>.


text:
We<S>586</S> certify<S>3046</S> the king<S>4430</S> that<S>2006</S>, if this<S>1791</S> city<S>7149</S> be builded<S>1124</S>, and the walls<S>7792</S> finished<S>3635</S>, by this<S>1836</S> means<S>6903</S> thou shalt have<S>383</S> no<S>3809</S> portion<S>2508</S> beyond<S>5675</S> the River<S>5103</S>.

Then sent<S>7972</S> the king<S>4430</S> an answer<S>6600</S> unto<S>5922</S> Rehum<S>7348</S> the chancellor<S>1169</S>, and to<S>5922</S> Shimshai<S>8124</S> the scribe<S>5613</S>, and to the rest<S>7606</S> of their companions<S>3675</S> that dwell<S>3488</S> in Samaria<S>8115</S>, and in the rest<S>7606</S> of the country beyond<S>5675</S> the River<S>5103</S>: Peace<S>8001</S>, and so forth.


text:
The letter<S>5407</S> which ye sent<S>7972</S> unto us<S>5922</S> hath been plainly<S>6568</S> read<S>7123</S> before me<S>6925</S>.


text:
And I<S>4481</S> decreed<S>7761</S>, and search<S>1240</S> hath been made<S>7912</S>, and it is found that this<S>1791</S> city<S>7149</S> of<S>4481</S> old<S>5957</S> time<S>3118</S> hath made insurrection<S>5376</S> against<S>5922</S> kings<S>4430</S>, and that rebellion<S>4776</S> and sedition<S>849</S> have been made therein<S>5648</S>.


text:
then they drew<S>5066</S> near to Zerubbabel<S>2216</S>, and to the heads<S>7218</S> of fathers<S>1</S>' houses<S>559</S>, and said unto them<S>1129</S>, Let us build with you<S>1875</S>; for we seek your God<S>430</S>, as ye do<S>2076</S>; and we sacrifice unto him since the days<S>3117</S> of Esar-haddon<S>634</S> king<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S>, who brought us up hither<S>5927</S>.


text:
There have been<S>1934</S> mighty<S>8624</S> kings<S>4430</S> also over<S>5922</S> Jerusalem<S>3390</S>, who have ruled<S>7990</S> over all<S>3606</S> the country beyond<S>5675</S> the River<S>5103</S>; and tribute<S>1093</S>, custom<S>1983</S>, and toll<S>4061</S>, was paid unto them<S>3052</S>.


text:
Make<S>7761</S> ye now<S>3705</S> a decree<S>2942</S> to cause<S>989</S> these<S>479</S> men<S>1400</S> to cease<S>989</S>, and that this<S>1791</S> city<S>7149</S> be not<S>3809</S> builded<S>1124</S>, until<S>5705</S> a decree<S>2941</S> shall be made<S>7761</S> by me<S>4481</S>.


text:
And take heed<S>1934</S> that ye be<S>5922</S> not slack<S>7960</S> herein<S>1836</S>: why<S>4101</S> should damage<S>2257</S> grow<S>7680</S> to the hurt<S>5142</S> of the kings<S>4430</S>?


text:
Then when<S>4481</S> the copy<S>6573</S> of king<S>4430</S> Artaxerxes<S>783</S>' letter<S>5407</S> was read<S>7123</S> before<S>6925</S> Rehum<S>7348</S>, and Shimshai<S>8124</S> the scribe<S>5613</S>, and their companions<S>3675</S>, they went in haste<S>924</S> to<S>5922</S> Jerusalem<S>3390</S> unto<S>5922</S> the Jews<S>3062</S>, and made them<S>1994</S> to<S>5922</S> cease<S>989</S> by force<S>153</S> and power<S>2429</S>.


text:
Then<S>116</S> ceased<S>989</S> the work<S>5673</S> of the house<S>1005</S> of God<S>426</S> which is at Jerusalem<S>3390</S>; and it ceased<S>1934</S> until<S>5705</S> the second<S>8648</S> year<S>8140</S> of the reign<S>4437</S> of Darius<S>1868</S> king<S>4430</S> of Persia<S>6540</S>.

But Zerubbabel<S>2216</S>, and Jeshua<S>3442</S>, and the rest<S>7605</S> of the heads<S>7218</S> of fathers<S>1</S>' houses of Israel<S>3478</S>, said<S>559</S> unto them<S>1129</S>, Ye have nothing to do with us in building a house<S>1004</S> unto our God<S>430</S>; but we ourselves together<S>3162</S> will build<S>1129</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, as king<S>4428</S> Cyrus<S>3566</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S> hath commanded us<S>6680</S>.


text:
Then the people<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> weakened<S>7503</S> the hands<S>3027</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and troubled<S>926</S> them in building<S>1129</S>,


text:
and hired<S>7936</S> counsellors<S>3289</S> against them<S>6565</S>, to frustrate their purpose<S>6098</S>, all the days<S>3117</S> of Cyrus<S>3566</S> king<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>, even until the reign<S>4438</S> of Darius<S>1867</S> king<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>.


text:
And in the reign<S>4438</S> of Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, in the beginning<S>8462</S> of his reign<S>4438</S>, wrote<S>3789</S> they an accusation<S>7855</S> against the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> and Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And in the days<S>3117</S> of Artaxerxes<S>783</S> wrote<S>3789</S> Bishlam<S>1312</S>, Mithredath<S>4990</S>, Tabeel<S>2870</S>, and the rest<S>7605</S> of his companions<S>3674</S>, unto Artaxerxes<S>783</S> king<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>; and the writing<S>3791</S> of the letter<S>5406</S> was written<S>3789</S> in the Syrian character<S>762</S>, and set forth<S>8638</S> in the Syrian tongue<S>762</S>.


text:
Rehum<S>7348</S> the chancellor<S>1169</S> and Shimshai<S>8124</S> the scribe<S>5613</S> wrote<S>3790</S> a<S>2298</S> letter<S>104</S> against<S>5922</S> Jerusalem<S>3390</S> to Artaxerxes<S>783</S> the king<S>4430</S> in this sort<S>3660</S>:

Now the prophets<S>5029</S>, Haggai<S>2292</S> the prophet<S>5029</S>, and Zechariah<S>2148</S> the son<S>1247</S> of Iddo<S>5714</S>, prophesied<S>5013</S> unto<S>5922</S> the Jews<S>3062</S> that were in Judah<S>3061</S> and Jerusalem<S>3390</S>; in the name<S>8036</S> of the God<S>426</S> of Israel<S>3479</S> prophesied they unto them<S>5922</S>.

And I<S>4481</S>, even I<S>576</S> Artaxerxes<S>783</S> the king<S>4430</S>, do make<S>7761</S> a decree<S>2942</S> to all<S>3606</S> the treasurers<S>1490</S> that are beyond<S>5675</S> the River<S>5103</S>, that whatsoever Ezra<S>5831</S> the priest<S>3549</S>, the scribe<S>5613</S> of the law<S>1882</S> of the God<S>426</S> of heaven<S>8065</S>, shall require<S>7593</S> of you<S>5648</S>, it be done with all diligence<S>629</S>,

unto<S>5705</S> a hundred<S>3969</S> talents<S>3604</S> of silver<S>3702</S>, and to a hundred<S>3969</S> measures<S>3734</S> of wheat<S>2591</S>, and to a hundred<S>3969</S> baths<S>1325</S> of wine<S>2562</S>, and to a hundred<S>3969</S> baths<S>1325</S> of oil<S>4887</S>, and salt<S>4416</S> without<S>3809</S> prescribing how much<S>3792</S>.


text:
Whatsoever<S>3606</S> is commanded by<S>2941</S> the God<S>426</S> of heaven<S>8065</S>, let it be done<S>5648</S> exactly<S>149</S> for the house<S>1005</S> of the God<S>426</S> of heaven<S>8065</S>; for<S>1768</S> why<S>4101</S> should there be<S>1934</S> wrath<S>7109</S> against<S>5922</S> the realm<S>4437</S> of the king<S>4430</S> and his sons<S>1123</S>?

Also we certify<S>3046</S> you<S>3606</S>, that touching any of the priests<S>3549</S> and Levites<S>3879</S>, the singers<S>2171</S>, porters<S>8652</S>, Nethinim<S>5412</S>, or servants<S>6399</S> of this<S>1836</S> house<S>1005</S> of God<S>426</S>, it shall not<S>3809</S> be lawful<S>7990</S> to impose<S>7412</S> tribute<S>1093</S>, custom<S>1983</S>, or toll<S>4061</S>, upon them<S>5922</S>.


text:
And thou<S>607</S>, Ezra<S>5831</S>, after the wisdom<S>2452</S> of thy God<S>426</S> that is in thy hand<S>3028</S>, appoint<S>4483</S> magistrates<S>8200</S> and judges<S>1782</S>, who may judge<S>1934</S> all<S>3606</S> the people<S>5972</S> that are beyond<S>5675</S> the River<S>5103</S>, all<S>3606</S> such as know<S>3046</S> the laws<S>1882</S> of thy God<S>426</S>; and teach<S>3046</S> ye him that knoweth<S>3046</S> them not<S>3809</S>.


text:
And whosoever<S>3606</S> will not<S>3809</S> do<S>1934</S> the law<S>1882</S> of thy God<S>426</S>, and the law<S>1882</S> of the king<S>4430</S>, let judgment<S>1780</S> be<S>1934</S> executed<S>5648</S> upon him<S>4481</S> with all diligence<S>629</S>, whether<S>2006</S> it be unto death<S>4193</S>, or<S>2006</S> to banishment<S>8332</S>, or<S>2006</S> to confiscation<S>6065</S> of goods<S>5232</S>, or to imprisonment<S>613</S>.


text:
Blessed<S>1288</S> be Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of our fathers<S>1</S>, who hath put<S>5414</S> such a thing as this in the king<S>4428</S>'s heart<S>3820</S>, to beautify<S>6286</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> which is in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>;


text:
and hath extended<S>5186</S> lovingkindness<S>2617</S> unto me before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and his counsellors<S>3289</S>, and before all the king<S>4428</S>'s mighty<S>1368</S> princes<S>8269</S>. And I was strengthened<S>2388</S> according to the hand<S>3027</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S> upon me<S>6908</S>, and I gathered together out of Israel<S>3478</S> chief men<S>7218</S> to go up with me<S>5927</S>.


text:
the son<S>1121</S> of Amariah<S>568</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Azariah<S>5838</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Meraioth<S>4812</S>,


text:
the son<S>1121</S> of Zerahiah<S>2228</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Uzzi<S>5813</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Bukki<S>1231</S>,

text:
this Ezra<S>5830</S> went up<S>5927</S> from Babylon<S>894</S>: and he was a ready<S>4106</S> scribe<S>5608</S> in the law<S>8451</S> of Moses<S>4872</S>, which Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, had given<S>5414</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> granted<S>5414</S> him all his request<S>1246</S>, according to the hand<S>3027</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> his God upon him<S>430</S>.


text:
And there went up<S>5927</S> some of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and of the priests<S>3548</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and the singers<S>7891</S>, and the porters<S>7778</S>, and the Nethinim<S>5411</S>, unto Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, in the seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of Artaxerxes<S>783</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And he came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> in the fifth<S>2549</S> month<S>2320</S>, which was in the seventh<S>7637</S> year<S>8141</S> of the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
For upon the first<S>259</S> day of the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S> began<S>3246</S> he to go up<S>4609</S> from Babylon<S>894</S>; and on the first<S>259</S> day of the fifth<S>2549</S> month<S>2320</S> came<S>935</S> he to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, according to the good<S>2896</S> hand<S>3027</S> of his God upon him<S>430</S>.


text:
Now these are the heads<S>7218</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>' houses<S>3187</S>, and this is the genealogy of them that went up<S>5927</S> with me from Babylon<S>894</S>, in the reign<S>4438</S> of Artaxerxes<S>783</S> the king<S>4438</S>:


text:
And of the sons<S>1121</S> of Shelomith<S>8019</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Josiphiah<S>3131</S>; and with him a hundred<S>3967</S> and threescore<S>8346</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
And of the sons<S>1121</S> of Bebai<S>893</S>, Zechariah<S>2148</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Bebai<S>893</S>; and with him twenty<S>6242</S> and eight<S>8083</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
And of the sons<S>1121</S> of Azgad<S>5803</S>, Johanan<S>3110</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hakkatan<S>6997</S>; and with him a hundred<S>3967</S> and ten<S>6235</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
And of the sons<S>1121</S> of Adonikam<S>140</S>, that were the last<S>314</S>; and these are their names<S>8034</S>: Eliphelet<S>467</S>, Jeuel<S>3273</S>, and Shemaiah<S>8098</S>; and with them threescore<S>8346</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
And of the sons<S>1121</S> of Bigvai<S>902</S>, Uthai<S>5793</S> and Zabbud<S>2072</S>; and with them seventy<S>7657</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
And I gathered them together<S>6908</S> to the river<S>5104</S> that runneth<S>935</S> to Ahava<S>163</S>; and there we encamped<S>2583</S> three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>: and I viewed<S>995</S> the people<S>5971</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S>, and found<S>4672</S> there none of the sons<S>1121</S> of Levi<S>3878</S>.


text:
Then sent<S>7971</S> I for Eliezer<S>461</S>, for Ariel<S>740</S>, for Shemaiah<S>8098</S>, and for Elnathan<S>494</S>, and for Jarib<S>3402</S>, and for Elnathan<S>494</S>, and for Nathan<S>5416</S>, and for Zechariah<S>2148</S>, and for Meshullam<S>4918</S>, chief men<S>7218</S>; also for Joiarib<S>3114</S>, and for Elnathan<S>494</S>, who were teachers<S>995</S>.


text:
And I sent<S>6680</S> them forth<S>3318</S> unto Iddo<S>112</S> the chief<S>7218</S> at the place<S>4725</S> Casiphia<S>3703</S>; and I told<S>7760</S> them what<S>1697</S> they should say<S>1696</S> unto Iddo<S>112</S>, and his brethren<S>251</S> the Nethinim<S>5411</S>, at the place<S>4725</S> Casiphia<S>3703</S>, that they should bring<S>935</S> unto us ministers<S>8334</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of our God<S>430</S>.


text:
And according to the good<S>2896</S> hand<S>3027</S> of our God<S>430</S> upon us they brought<S>935</S> us a man<S>376</S> of discretion<S>7922</S>, of the sons<S>1121</S> of Mahli<S>4249</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Levi<S>3878</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>; and Sherebiah<S>8274</S>, with his sons<S>1121</S> and his brethren<S>251</S>, eighteen<S>8083</S>;


text:
and Hashabiah<S>2811</S>, and with him Jeshaiah<S>3470</S> of the sons<S>1121</S> of Merari<S>4847</S>, his brethren<S>251</S> and their sons<S>1121</S>, twenty<S>6242</S>;


text:
Of the sons<S>1121</S> of Phinehas<S>6372</S>, Gershom<S>1647</S>. Of the sons<S>1121</S> of Ithamar<S>385</S>, Daniel<S>1840</S>. Of the sons<S>1121</S> of David<S>1732</S>, Hattush<S>2407</S>.


text:
and of the Nethinim<S>5411</S>, whom David<S>1732</S> and the princes<S>8269</S> had given<S>5414</S> for the service<S>5656</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>, two hundred<S>3967</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> Nethinim<S>5411</S>: all of them were mentioned<S>5344</S> by name<S>8034</S>.


text:
Then I proclaimed<S>7121</S> a fast<S>6685</S> there<S>5104</S>, at the river Ahava<S>163</S>, that we might humble<S>6031</S> ourselves before<S>6440</S> our God<S>430</S>, to seek<S>1245</S> of him a straight<S>3477</S> way<S>1870</S> for us<S>2945</S>, and for our little ones, and for all our substance<S>7399</S>.


text:
For I was ashamed<S>954</S> to ask<S>7592</S> of the king<S>4428</S> a band of soldiers<S>2428</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S> to help<S>5826</S> us against the enemy<S>341</S> in the way<S>1870</S>, because we had spoken<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The hand<S>3027</S> of our God<S>430</S> is upon all them that seek<S>1245</S> him<S>2896</S>, for good; but his power<S>5797</S> and his wrath<S>639</S> is against all them that forsake him<S>5800</S>.


text:
So we fasted<S>6684</S> and besought<S>1245</S> our God<S>430</S> for this<S>6279</S>: and he was entreated of us.


text:
Then I set apart<S>914</S> twelve<S>8147</S> of the chiefs<S>8269</S> of the priests<S>3548</S>, even Sherebiah<S>8274</S>, Hashabiah<S>2811</S>, and ten<S>6235</S> of their brethren with them<S>251</S>,


text:
and weighed<S>8254</S> unto them the silver<S>3701</S>, and the gold<S>2091</S>, and the vessels<S>3627</S>, even the offering<S>8641</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of our God<S>430</S>, which the king<S>4428</S>, and his counsellors<S>3289</S>, and his princes<S>8269</S>, and all Israel<S>3478</S> there present<S>4672</S>, had offered<S>7311</S>:


text:
I weighed<S>8254</S> into their hand<S>3027</S> six<S>8337</S> hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S>, and silver<S>3701</S> vessels<S>3627</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S>; of gold<S>2091</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> talents<S>3603</S>;


text:
and twenty<S>6242</S> bowls<S>3713</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, of a thousand<S>505</S> darics<S>150</S>; and two<S>8147</S> vessels<S>3627</S> of fine<S>2896</S> bright brass<S>5178</S>, precious<S>2532</S> as gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
And I said<S>559</S> unto them<S>6944</S>, Ye are holy unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and the vessels<S>3627</S> are holy<S>6944</S>; and the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S> are a freewill-offering<S>5071</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of your fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Watch<S>8245</S> ye<S>8104</S>, and keep them<S>8254</S>, until ye weigh them before<S>6440</S> the chiefs<S>8269</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, and the princes<S>8269</S> of the fathers<S>1</S>' houses of Israel<S>3478</S>, at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, in the chambers<S>3957</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Of the sons<S>1121</S> of Shecaniah<S>7935</S>, of the sons<S>1121</S> of Parosh<S>6551</S>, Zechariah<S>2148</S>; and with him were reckoned by genealogy<S>3187</S> of the males<S>2145</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S>.


text:
So the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S> received<S>6901</S> the weight<S>4948</S> of the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S>, and the vessels<S>3627</S>, to bring<S>935</S> them to Jerusalem<S>3389</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of our God<S>430</S>.

Then we departed<S>5265</S> from the river<S>5104</S> Ahava<S>163</S> on the twelfth<S>8147</S> day of the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S>, to go<S>3212</S> unto Jerusalem<S>3389</S>: and the hand<S>3027</S> of our God<S>430</S> was upon us<S>5337</S>, and he delivered us from the hand<S>3709</S> of the enemy<S>341</S> and the lier-in<S>693</S>-wait by the way<S>1870</S>.


text:
And we came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and abode<S>3427</S> there three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And on the fourth<S>7243</S> day<S>3117</S> the silver<S>3701</S> and the gold<S>2091</S> and the vessels<S>3627</S> were weighed<S>8254</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of our God<S>430</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of Meremoth<S>4822</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Uriah<S>223</S> the priest<S>3548</S>; and with him was Eleazar<S>499</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Phinehas<S>6372</S>; and with them was Jozabad<S>3107</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jeshua<S>3442</S>, and Noadiah<S>5129</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Binnui<S>1131</S>, the Levite<S>3881</S>;


text:
the whole by number<S>4557</S> and by weight<S>4948</S>: and all the weight<S>4948</S> was written<S>3789</S> at that time<S>6256</S>.


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of the captivity<S>1473</S>, that were come out<S>935</S> of exile<S>7628</S>, offered<S>7126</S> burnt-offerings<S>5930</S> unto the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, twelve<S>8147</S> bullocks<S>6499</S> for all Israel<S>3478</S>, ninety<S>8673</S> and six<S>8337</S> rams<S>352</S>, seventy<S>7657</S> and seven<S>7651</S> lambs<S>3532</S>, twelve<S>8147</S> he-goats<S>6842</S> for a sin-offering<S>2403</S>: all this was a burnt-offering<S>5930</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And they delivered<S>5414</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s commissions<S>1881</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>'s satraps<S>323</S>, and to the governors<S>6346</S> beyond<S>5676</S> the River<S>5104</S>: and they furthered<S>5375</S> the people<S>5971</S> and the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
Of the sons<S>1121</S> of Pahath-moab<S>6355</S>, Eliehoenai<S>454</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zerahiah<S>2228</S>; and with him two hundred<S>3967</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
Of the sons<S>1121</S> of Shecaniah<S>7935</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jahaziel<S>3166</S>; and with him three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
And of the sons<S>1121</S> of Adin<S>5720</S>, Ebed<S>5651</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jonathan<S>3129</S>; and with him fifty<S>2572</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
And of the sons<S>1121</S> of Elam<S>5867</S>, Jeshaiah<S>3470</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Athaliah<S>6271</S>; and with him seventy<S>7657</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
And of the sons<S>1121</S> of Shephatiah<S>8203</S>, Zebadiah<S>2069</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Michael<S>4317</S>; and with him fourscore<S>8084</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
Of the sons<S>1121</S> of Joab<S>3097</S>, Obadiah<S>5662</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Jehiel<S>3171</S>; and with him two hundred<S>3967</S> and eighteen<S>8083</S> males<S>2145</S>.


text:
Now when these things were done<S>3615</S>, the princes<S>8269</S> drew<S>5066</S> near unto me<S>559</S>, saying, The people<S>5971</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, and the priests<S>3548</S> and the Levites<S>3881</S>, have not separated<S>914</S> themselves from the peoples<S>5971</S> of the lands<S>776</S>, doing according to their abominations<S>8441</S>, even of the Canaanites<S>3669</S>, the Hittites<S>2850</S>, the Perizzites<S>6522</S>, the Jebusites<S>2983</S>, the Ammonites<S>5984</S>, the Moabites<S>4125</S>, the Egyptians<S>4713</S>, and the Amorites<S>567</S>.


text:
And now<S>430</S>, O our God, what shall we say<S>559</S> after<S>310</S> this<S>5800</S>? for we have forsaken your commandments<S>4687</S>,


text:
which you have commanded<S>6680</S> by<S>3027</S> your servants<S>5650</S> the prophets<S>5030</S>, saying<S>559</S>, The land<S>776</S>, unto which you go<S>935</S> to possess<S>3423</S> it<S>5079</S>, is an unclean land<S>776</S> through the uncleanness<S>5079</S> of the peoples<S>5971</S> of the lands<S>776</S>, through their abominations<S>8441</S>, which have filled<S>4390</S> it from one end<S>6310</S> to another<S>6310</S> with their filthiness<S>2932</S>:


text:
now therefore give<S>5414</S> not your daughters<S>1323</S> unto their sons<S>1121</S>, neither take<S>5375</S> their daughters<S>1323</S> unto your sons<S>1121</S>, nor seek<S>1875</S> their peace<S>7965</S> or their prosperity<S>2896</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>; that you may be strong<S>2388</S>, and eat<S>398</S> the good<S>2898</S> of the land<S>776</S>, and leave it for an inheritance<S>3423</S> to your sons<S>1121</S> for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> all that is come<S>935</S> upon us for our evil<S>7451</S> deeds<S>4639</S>, and for our great<S>1419</S> guilt<S>819</S>, seeing that you our God<S>430</S> have punished<S>2820</S> us less<S>4295</S> than our iniquities<S>5771</S> deserve<S>5414</S>, and have given us such a remnant<S>6413</S>,


text:
shall we again<S>7725</S> break<S>6565</S> your commandments<S>4687</S>, and join in affinity<S>2859</S> with the peoples<S>5971</S> that do these abominations<S>8441</S>? would not you be angry<S>599</S> with us until you had consumed<S>3615</S> us<S>7611</S>, so that there should be no remnant, nor any to escape<S>6413</S>?


text:
O Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, you are righteous<S>6662</S>; for we are left a remnant<S>7604</S> that is escaped<S>6413</S>, as it is this day<S>3117</S>: behold<S>6440</S>, we are before you in our guiltiness<S>819</S>; for none can stand<S>5975</S> before you because of this<S>6440</S>.


text:
For they have taken<S>5375</S> of their daughters<S>1323</S> for themselves and for their sons<S>1121</S>, so that the holy<S>6944</S> seed<S>2233</S> have mingled<S>6148</S> themselves with the peoples<S>5971</S> of the lands<S>776</S>: Yes<S>3027</S>, the hand of the princes<S>8269</S> and rulers<S>5461</S> has been chief<S>7223</S> in this trespass<S>4604</S>.


text:
And when I heard<S>8085</S> this thing<S>1697</S>, I tore<S>7167</S> my garment<S>899</S> and my robe<S>4598</S>, and plucked off<S>4803</S> the hair<S>8181</S> of my head<S>7218</S> and of my beard<S>2206</S>, and sat down<S>3427</S> confounded<S>8074</S>.


text:
Then were assembled<S>622</S> unto me every one that trembled<S>2730</S> at the words<S>1697</S> of the God<S>430</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, because of the trespass<S>4604</S> of them of the captivity<S>1473</S>; and I sat<S>3427</S> confounded<S>8074</S> until the evening<S>6153</S> oblation<S>4503</S>.


text:
And at the evening<S>6153</S> oblation<S>4503</S> I arose up<S>6965</S> from my humiliation<S>8589</S>, even with my garment<S>899</S> and my robe<S>899</S> tore<S>7167</S>; and I fell<S>3766</S> upon my knees<S>1290</S>, and spread out<S>6566</S> my hands<S>3709</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>;


text:
and I said<S>559</S>, O my God<S>430</S>, I am ashamed<S>954</S> and blush<S>3637</S> to lift up<S>7311</S> my face<S>6440</S> to you<S>430</S>, my God; for our iniquities<S>5771</S> are increased<S>7235</S> over<S>4605</S> our head<S>7218</S>, and our guiltiness<S>819</S> is grown up<S>1431</S> unto the heavens<S>8064</S>.


text:
Since the days<S>3117</S> of our fathers<S>1</S> we have been exceedingly<S>1419</S> guilty<S>819</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>; and for our iniquities<S>5771</S> have we<S>4428</S>, our kings, and our priests<S>3548</S>, been delivered<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of the lands<S>776</S>, to the sword<S>2719</S>, to captivity<S>7628</S>, and to plunder<S>961</S>, and to confusion<S>1322</S> of face<S>6440</S>, as it is this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And now for a little<S>4592</S> moment<S>7281</S> grace<S>8467</S> has been showed from Jehovah<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>, to leave<S>7604</S> us a remnant to escape<S>6413</S>, and to give<S>5414</S> us a nail<S>3489</S> in his holy<S>6944</S> place<S>4725</S>, that our God<S>430</S> may lighten<S>215</S> our eyes<S>5869</S>, and give<S>5414</S> us a little<S>4592</S> reviving<S>4241</S> in our bondage<S>5659</S>.


text:
For we are bondmen<S>5650</S>; yet our God<S>430</S> has not forsaken<S>5800</S> us in our bondage<S>5659</S>, but has extended<S>5186</S> lovingkindness<S>2617</S> unto us in the sight<S>6440</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S>, to give<S>5414</S> us a reviving<S>4241</S>, to set up<S>7311</S> the house<S>1004</S> of our God<S>430</S>, and to repair<S>5975</S> the ruins<S>2723</S> there<S>5414</S>, and to give us a wall<S>1447</S> in Judah<S>3063</S> and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
The words<S>1697</S> of Nehemiah<S>5166</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hacaliah<S>2446</S>. Now it came to pass in the month<S>2320</S> Chislev<S>3691</S>, in the twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S>, as I was in Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S>,


text:
Now these are thy servants<S>5650</S> and thy people<S>5971</S>, whom thou hast redeemed<S>6299</S> by thy great<S>1419</S> power<S>3581</S>, and by thy strong<S>2389</S> hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
O Lord<S>136</S>, I beseech<S>577</S> thee<S>241</S>, let now thine ear be attentive<S>7183</S> to the prayer<S>8605</S> of thy servant<S>5650</S>, and to the prayer<S>8605</S> of thy servants<S>5650</S>, who delight<S>2655</S> to fear<S>3372</S> thy name<S>8034</S>; and prosper<S>6743</S>, I pray thee<S>5650</S>, thy servant this day<S>3117</S>, and grant<S>5414</S> him mercy<S>7356</S> in the sight<S>6440</S> of this man<S>376</S>. Now I was cupbearer<S>8248</S> to the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
that Hanani<S>2607</S>, one<S>259</S> of my brethren<S>251</S>, came<S>935</S>, he and certain men<S>582</S> out of Judah<S>3063</S>; and I asked<S>7592</S> them concerning the Jews<S>3064</S> that had escaped<S>6413</S>, that were left<S>7604</S> of the captivity<S>7628</S>, and concerning Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And they said<S>559</S> unto me<S>7604</S>, The remnant that are left<S>7604</S> of the captivity<S>7628</S> there in the province<S>4082</S> are in great<S>1419</S> affliction<S>7451</S> and reproach<S>2781</S>: the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> also is broken down<S>6555</S>, and the gates<S>8179</S> thereof are burned<S>3341</S> with fire<S>784</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>8085</S>, when I heard these words<S>1697</S>, that I sat down<S>3427</S> and wept<S>1058</S>, and mourned<S>56</S> certain days<S>3117</S>; and I fasted<S>6684</S> and prayed<S>6419</S> before<S>6440</S> the God<S>430</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>,


text:
and said<S>559</S>, I beseech<S>577</S> thee<S>3068</S>, O Jehovah, the God<S>430</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>, the great<S>1419</S> and terrible<S>3372</S> God<S>410</S>, that keepeth<S>8104</S> covenant<S>1285</S> and lovingkindness<S>2617</S> with them that love<S>157</S> him and keep<S>8104</S> his commandments<S>4687</S>:


text:
Let thine ear<S>241</S> now be attentive<S>7183</S>, and thine eyes<S>5869</S> open<S>6605</S>, that thou mayest hearken<S>8085</S> unto the prayer<S>8605</S> of thy servant<S>5650</S>, which I pray<S>6419</S> before<S>6440</S> thee at this time<S>3117</S>, day<S>3119</S> and night<S>3915</S>, for the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> thy servants<S>5650</S> while I confess<S>3034</S> the sins<S>2403</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>, which we have sinned<S>2398</S> against thee<S>1</S>. Yea, I and my father's house<S>1004</S> have sinned<S>2398</S>:


text:
we have dealt very<S>2254</S> corruptly<S>2254</S> against thee<S>8104</S>, and have not kept the commandments<S>4687</S>, nor the statutes<S>2706</S>, nor the ordinances<S>4941</S>, which thou commandedst<S>6680</S> thy servant<S>5650</S> Moses<S>4872</S>.


text:
Remember<S>2142</S>, I beseech thee<S>1697</S>, the word that thou commandedst<S>6680</S> thy servant<S>5650</S> Moses<S>4872</S>, saying<S>559</S>, If ye trespass<S>4603</S>, I will scatter you abroad<S>6327</S> among the peoples<S>5971</S>:


text:
but if ye return<S>7725</S> unto me<S>8104</S>, and keep my commandments<S>4687</S> and do<S>6213</S> them<S>5080</S>, though your outcasts were in the uttermost part<S>7097</S> of the heavens<S>8064</S>, yet will I gather<S>6908</S> them from thence<S>935</S>, and will bring them unto the place<S>4725</S> that I have chosen<S>977</S>, to cause my name<S>8034</S> to dwell there<S>7931</S>.

Now those that sealed<S>2856</S> were<S>5166</S>: Nehemiah the governor<S>8660</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Hacaliah<S>2446</S>, and Zedekiah<S>6667</S>,

text:
They clave<S>2388</S> to their brethren<S>251</S>, their nobles<S>117</S>, and entered<S>935</S> into a curse<S>423</S>, and into an oath<S>7621</S>, to walk<S>3212</S> in God<S>430</S>'s law<S>8451</S>, which was given<S>5414</S> by<S>3027</S> Moses<S>4872</S> the servant<S>5650</S> of God<S>430</S>, and to observe<S>8104</S> and do<S>6213</S> all the commandments<S>4687</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> our Lord<S>3068</S>, and his ordinances<S>4941</S> and his statutes<S>2706</S>;

and that we would not give<S>5414</S> our daughters<S>1323</S> unto the peoples<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>, nor take<S>3947</S> their daughters<S>1323</S> for our sons<S>1121</S>;

and if the peoples<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> bring<S>935</S> wares<S>4728</S> or any grain<S>7668</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S> day<S>3117</S> to sell<S>4376</S>, that we would not buy<S>3947</S> of them on the sabbath<S>7676</S>, or on a holy<S>6944</S> day<S>3117</S>; and that we would forego<S>5203</S> the seventh<S>7637</S> year<S>8141</S>, and the exaction<S>4853</S> of every debt<S>3027</S>.

Also we made<S>5975</S> ordinances<S>4687</S> for us<S>5414</S>, to charge ourselves yearly<S>8141</S> with the third part<S>7992</S> of a shekel<S>8255</S> for the service<S>5656</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of our God<S>430</S>;

and his brethren<S>251</S>, Shemaiah<S>8098</S>, and Azarel<S>5832</S>, Milalai<S>4450</S>, Gilalai<S>1562</S>, Maai<S>4597</S>, Nethanel<S>5417</S>, and Judah<S>3063</S>, Hanani<S>2607</S>, with the musical<S>7892</S> instruments<S>3627</S> of David<S>1732</S> the man<S>376</S> of God<S>430</S>; and Ezra<S>5830</S> the scribe<S>5608</S> was before them<S>6440</S>.


text:
And by the fountain<S>5869</S> gate<S>8179</S>, and straight before them<S>5927</S>, they went up by the stairs<S>4609</S> of the city<S>5892</S> of David<S>1732</S>, at the ascent<S>4608</S> of the wall<S>2346</S>, above the house<S>1004</S> of David<S>1732</S>, even unto the water<S>4325</S> gate<S>8179</S> eastward<S>4217</S>.


text:
And the other<S>8145</S> company of them that gave thanks<S>8426</S> went<S>1980</S> to meet<S>4136</S> them<S>310</S>, and I after them<S>2677</S>, with the half of the people<S>5971</S>, upon the wall<S>2346</S>, above the tower<S>4026</S> of the furnaces<S>8574</S>, even unto the broad<S>7342</S> wall<S>2346</S>,


text:
and above the gate<S>8179</S> of Ephraim<S>669</S>, and by the old<S>3465</S> gate<S>8179</S>, and by the fish<S>1709</S> gate<S>8179</S>, and the tower<S>4026</S> of Hananel<S>2606</S>, and the tower<S>4026</S> of Hammeah<S>3968</S>, even unto the sheep<S>6629</S> gate<S>8179</S>: and they stood still<S>5975</S> in the gate<S>8179</S> of the guard<S>4307</S>.


text:
So stood<S>5975</S> the two<S>8147</S> companies of them that gave thanks<S>8426</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, and I<S>2677</S>, and the half of the rulers with me<S>5461</S>;


text:
and the priests<S>3548</S>, Eliakim<S>471</S>, Maaseiah<S>4641</S>, Miniamin<S>4509</S>, Micaiah<S>4320</S>, Elioenai<S>454</S>, Zechariah<S>2148</S>, and Hananiah<S>2608</S>, with trumpets<S>2689</S>;


text:
and Maaseiah<S>4641</S>, and Shemaiah<S>8098</S>, and Eleazar<S>499</S>, and Uzzi<S>5813</S>, and Jehohanan<S>3076</S>, and Malchijah<S>4441</S>, and Elam<S>5867</S>, and Ezer<S>5829</S>. And the singers<S>7891</S> sang loud<S>8085</S>, with Jezrahiah<S>3156</S> their overseer<S>6496</S>.


text:
And they offered<S>2076</S> great<S>1419</S> sacrifices<S>2077</S> that day<S>3117</S>, and rejoiced<S>8055</S>; for God<S>430</S> had made them rejoice<S>8055</S> with great<S>1419</S> joy<S>8057</S>; and the women<S>802</S> also and the children<S>3206</S> rejoiced<S>8055</S>: so that the joy<S>8057</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> was heard<S>8085</S> even afar off<S>7350</S>.


text:
And on that day<S>3117</S> were men<S>582</S> appointed<S>6485</S> over the chambers<S>5393</S> for the treasures<S>214</S>, for the heave-offerings<S>8641</S>, for the first-fruits<S>7225</S>, and for the tithes<S>4643</S>, to gather<S>3664</S> into them<S>7704</S>, according to the fields of the cities<S>5892</S>, the portions<S>4521</S> appointed by the law<S>8451</S> for the priests<S>3548</S> and Levites<S>3881</S>: for Judah<S>3063</S> rejoiced<S>8057</S> for the priests<S>3548</S> and for the Levites<S>3881</S> that waited<S>5975</S>.


text:
And they kept<S>8104</S> the charge<S>4931</S> of their God<S>430</S>, and the charge<S>4931</S> of the purification<S>2893</S>, and so did the singers<S>7891</S> and the porters<S>7778</S>, according to the commandment<S>4687</S> of David<S>1732</S>, and of Solomon<S>8010</S> his son<S>1121</S>.


text:
For in the days<S>3117</S> of David<S>1732</S> and Asaph<S>623</S> of old<S>6924</S> there was a chief<S>7218</S> of the singers<S>7891</S>, and songs<S>7892</S> of praise<S>8416</S> and thanksgiving<S>3034</S> unto God<S>430</S>.


text:
And all Israel<S>3478</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of Zerubbabel<S>2216</S>, and in the days<S>3117</S> of Nehemiah<S>5166</S>, gave<S>5414</S> the portions<S>4521</S> of the singers<S>7891</S> and the porters<S>7778</S>, as every day<S>3117</S> required<S>1697</S>: and they set apart<S>6942</S> that which was for the Levites<S>3881</S>; and the Levites<S>3881</S> set apart<S>6942</S> that which was for the sons<S>1121</S> of Aaron<S>175</S>.


text:
Sallu<S>5543</S>, Amok<S>5987</S>, Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, Jedaiah<S>3048</S>. These were the chiefs<S>7218</S> of the priests<S>3548</S> and of their brethren<S>251</S> in the days<S>3117</S> of Jeshua<S>3442</S>.


text:
Moreover the Levites<S>3881</S>: Jeshua<S>3442</S>, Binnui<S>1131</S>, Kadmiel<S>6934</S>, Sherebiah<S>8274</S>, Judah<S>3063</S>, and Mattaniah<S>4983</S>, who was over the thanksgiving<S>1960</S>, he and his brethren<S>251</S>.


text:
Also Bakbukiah<S>1229</S> and Unno<S>6042</S>, their brethren<S>251</S>, were over against them according to their offices<S>4931</S>.


text:
On that day<S>3117</S> they read<S>7121</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of Moses<S>4872</S> in the audience<S>241</S> of the people<S>5971</S>; and therein was found<S>4672</S> written<S>3789</S>, that an Ammonite<S>5984</S> and a Moabite<S>4125</S> should not enter<S>935</S> into the assembly<S>6951</S> of God<S>430</S> for<S>5704</S> ever<S>5769</S>,


text:
And I perceived<S>3045</S> that the portions<S>4521</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S> had not been given<S>5414</S> them<S>3881</S>; so that the Levites and the singers<S>7891</S>, that did<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S>, were fled<S>1272</S> every one<S>376</S> to his field<S>7704</S>.


text:
Then contended<S>7378</S> I with the rulers<S>5461</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Why is the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S> forsaken<S>5800</S>? And I gathered them together<S>6908</S>, and set<S>5975</S> them in their place<S>5977</S>.


text:
Then brought<S>935</S> all Judah<S>3063</S> the tithe<S>4643</S> of the grain<S>1715</S> and the new wine<S>8492</S> and the oil<S>3323</S> unto the treasuries<S>214</S>.


text:
And I made treasurers<S>686</S> over the treasuries<S>214</S>, Shelemiah<S>8018</S> the priest<S>3548</S>, and Zadok<S>6659</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and of the Levites<S>3881</S>, Pedaiah<S>6305</S>: and next to them<S>3027</S> was Hanan<S>2605</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Zaccur<S>2139</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Mattaniah<S>4983</S>; for they were counted<S>2803</S> faithful<S>539</S>, and their business was to distribute<S>2505</S> unto their brethren<S>251</S>.


text:
Remember<S>2142</S> me<S>430</S>, O my God, concerning this<S>4229</S>, and wipe not out my good<S>2617</S> deeds that I have done<S>6213</S> for the house<S>1004</S> of my God<S>430</S>, and for the observances thereof<S>4929</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S> saw<S>7200</S> I in Judah<S>3063</S> some men treading<S>1869</S> wine-presses<S>1660</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S>, and bringing in<S>935</S> sheaves<S>6194</S>, and lading<S>6006</S> asses<S>2543</S> therewith<S>3196</S>; as also wine, grapes<S>6025</S>, and figs<S>8384</S>, and all manner of burdens<S>4853</S>, which they brought<S>935</S> into Jerusalem<S>3389</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S> day<S>3117</S>: and I testified<S>5749</S> against them in the day<S>3117</S> wherein they sold<S>4376</S> victuals<S>6718</S>.


text:
There dwelt<S>3427</S> men of Tyre<S>6876</S> also therein<S>935</S>, who brought in fish<S>1709</S>, and all manner of wares<S>4377</S>, and sold<S>4376</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S> unto the children<S>1121</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
Then I contended<S>7378</S> with the nobles<S>2715</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>7451</S>, What evil thing<S>1697</S> is this that ye do<S>6213</S>, and profane<S>2490</S> the sabbath<S>7676</S> day<S>3117</S>?


text:
Did<S>6213</S> not your fathers<S>1</S> thus<S>935</S>, and did not our God<S>430</S> bring<S>935</S> all this evil<S>7451</S> upon us<S>5892</S>, and upon this city? yet ye bring<S>935</S> more<S>3254</S> wrath<S>2740</S> upon Israel<S>3478</S> by profaning<S>2490</S> the sabbath<S>7676</S>.


text:
And it came to pass that<S>8179</S>, when the gates of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> began to be dark<S>6751</S> before<S>6440</S> the sabbath<S>7676</S>, I commanded<S>559</S> that the doors<S>1817</S> should be shut<S>5462</S>, and commanded<S>559</S> that they should not be opened<S>6605</S> till after<S>310</S> the sabbath<S>7676</S>: and some of my servants<S>5288</S> set<S>5975</S> I over the gates<S>8179</S>, that there should no burden<S>4853</S> be brought in<S>935</S> on the sabbath<S>7676</S> day<S>3117</S>.


text:
because they met<S>6923</S> not the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> with bread<S>3899</S> and with water<S>4325</S>, but hired<S>7936</S> Balaam<S>1109</S> against them<S>7043</S>, to curse them<S>430</S>: howbeit our God turned<S>2015</S> the curse<S>7043</S> into a blessing<S>1293</S>.


text:
So the merchants<S>7402</S> and sellers<S>4376</S> of all kind of wares<S>4465</S> lodged<S>3885</S> without<S>2351</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S> once<S>6471</S> or twice<S>8147</S>.


text:
Then I testified<S>5749</S> against them<S>559</S>, and said unto them<S>3885</S>, Why lodge ye about<S>5048</S> the wall<S>2346</S>? if ye do so again<S>8138</S>, I will lay<S>7971</S> hands<S>3027</S> on you<S>6256</S>. From that time forth came<S>935</S> they no more on the sabbath<S>7676</S>.


text:
And I commanded<S>559</S> the Levites<S>3881</S> that they should purify<S>2891</S> themselves<S>935</S>, and that they should come and keep<S>8104</S> the gates<S>8179</S>, to sanctify<S>6942</S> the sabbath<S>7676</S> day<S>3117</S>. Remember<S>2142</S> unto me<S>430</S>, O my God, this also<S>2347</S>, and spare me according to the greatness<S>7230</S> of thy lovingkindness<S>2617</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S> also saw<S>7200</S> I the Jews<S>3064</S> that had married<S>3427</S> women<S>802</S> of Ashdod<S>796</S>, of Ammon<S>5984</S>, and of Moab<S>4125</S>:


text:
and their children<S>1121</S> spake<S>1696</S> half<S>2677</S> in the speech of Ashdod<S>797</S>, and could<S>5234</S> not speak<S>1696</S> in the Jews<S>3066</S>' language, but according to the language<S>3956</S> of each<S>5971</S> people<S>5971</S>.


text:
And I contended<S>7378</S> with them<S>7043</S>, and cursed them<S>5221</S>, and smote certain<S>582</S> of them<S>4803</S>, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear<S>7650</S> by God<S>430</S>, saying<S>5414</S>, Ye shall not give your daughters<S>1323</S> unto their sons<S>1121</S>, nor take<S>5375</S> their daughters<S>1323</S> for your sons<S>1121</S>, or for yourselves.


text:
Did not Solomon<S>8010</S> king<S>4428</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> sin<S>2398</S> by these things<S>7227</S>? yet among many nations<S>1471</S> was there no king<S>4428</S> like him<S>157</S>, and he was beloved of his God<S>430</S>, and God<S>430</S> made<S>5414</S> him king<S>4428</S> over all Israel<S>3478</S>: nevertheless even him<S>1571</S> did foreign<S>5237</S> women<S>802</S> cause to sin<S>2398</S>.


text:
Shall we then hearken<S>8085</S> unto you to do<S>6213</S> all this great<S>1419</S> evil<S>7451</S>, to trespass<S>4603</S> against our God<S>430</S> in marrying<S>3427</S> foreign<S>5237</S> women<S>802</S>?


text:
And one of the sons<S>1121</S> of Joiada<S>3111</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Eliashib<S>475</S> the high<S>1419</S> priest<S>3548</S>, was son-in<S>2860</S>-law to Sanballat<S>5571</S> the Horonite<S>2772</S>: therefore I chased him from me<S>1272</S>.


text:
Remember<S>2142</S> them<S>430</S>, O my God, because they have defiled<S>1352</S> the priesthood<S>3550</S>, and the covenant<S>1285</S> of the priesthood<S>3550</S>, and of the Levites<S>3881</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>8085</S>, when they had heard the law<S>8451</S>, that they separated<S>914</S> from Israel<S>3478</S> all the mixed multitude<S>6154</S>.


text:
Thus cleansed<S>2891</S> I them from all foreigners<S>5236</S>, and appointed<S>5975</S> charges<S>4931</S> for the priests<S>3548</S> and for the Levites<S>3881</S>, every one<S>376</S> in his work<S>4399</S>;


text:
and for the wood<S>6086</S> - offering<S>7133</S>, at times<S>6256</S> appointed<S>2163</S>, and for the first-fruits<S>1061</S>. Remember<S>2142</S> me<S>430</S>, O my God, for good<S>2896</S>.


text:
Now before<S>6440</S> this<S>475</S>, Eliashib the priest<S>3548</S>, who was appointed<S>5414</S> over the chambers<S>3957</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of our God<S>430</S>, being allied<S>7138</S> unto Tobiah<S>2900</S>,


text:
had prepared<S>6213</S> for him a great<S>1419</S> chamber<S>3957</S>, where aforetime<S>6440</S> they laid<S>5414</S> the meal-offerings<S>4503</S>, the frankincense<S>3828</S>, and the vessels<S>3627</S>, and the tithes<S>4643</S> of the grain<S>1715</S>, the new wine<S>8492</S>, and the oil<S>3323</S>, which were given by commandment<S>4687</S> to the Levites<S>3881</S>, and the singers<S>7891</S>, and the porters<S>7778</S>; and the heave-offerings<S>8641</S> for the priests<S>3548</S>.


text:
But in all this time I was not at Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; for in the two<S>8147</S> and thirtieth<S>7970</S> year<S>8141</S> of Artaxerxes<S>783</S> king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> I went<S>935</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>: and after<S>7093</S> certain days<S>3117</S> asked I leave<S>7592</S> of the king<S>4428</S>,


text:
and I came<S>935</S> to Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and understood<S>995</S> the evil<S>7451</S> that Eliashib<S>475</S> had done<S>6213</S> for Tobiah<S>2900</S>, in preparing<S>6213</S> him a chamber<S>5393</S> in the courts<S>2691</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
And it grieved<S>3415</S> me sore<S>3966</S>: therefore I cast forth<S>7993</S> all the household<S>1004</S> stuff<S>3627</S> of Tobiah<S>2900</S> out of<S>2351</S> the chamber<S>3957</S>.


text:
Then I commanded<S>559</S>, and they cleansed<S>2891</S> the chambers<S>3957</S>: and thither brought I again<S>7725</S> the vessels<S>3627</S> of the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, with the meal-offerings<S>4503</S> and the frankincense<S>3828</S>.


text:
And it came to pass in the month<S>2320</S> Nisan<S>5212</S>, in the twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S> of Artaxerxes<S>783</S> the king<S>4428</S>, when wine<S>3196</S> was before<S>6440</S> him<S>5375</S>, that I took up the wine<S>3196</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it unto the king<S>4428</S>. Now I had not been beforetime sad<S>7451</S> in his presence<S>6440</S>.


text:
And when Sanballat<S>5571</S> the Horonite<S>2772</S>, and Tobiah<S>2900</S> the servant<S>5650</S>, the Ammonite<S>5984</S>, heard<S>8085</S> of it<S>3415</S>, it grieved them exceedingly<S>7451</S>, for that there was come<S>935</S> a man<S>120</S> to seek<S>1245</S> the welfare<S>2896</S> of the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
And I arose<S>6965</S> in the night<S>3915</S>, I and some<S>4592</S> few<S>4592</S> men<S>582</S> with me<S>5046</S>; neither told I any man<S>120</S> what my God<S>430</S> put<S>5414</S> into my heart<S>3820</S> to do<S>6213</S> for Jerusalem<S>3389</S>; neither was there any beast<S>929</S> with me<S>929</S>, save the beast that I rode upon<S>7392</S>.


text:
And I went out<S>3318</S> by night<S>3915</S> by the valley<S>1516</S> gate<S>8179</S>, even toward<S>6440</S> the jackal<S>8577</S>'s well<S>5869</S>, and to the dung<S>830</S> gate<S>8179</S>, and viewed<S>7663</S> the walls<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, which were broken down<S>6555</S>, and the gates<S>8179</S> thereof were consumed<S>398</S> with fire<S>784</S>.

Then I went on<S>5674</S> to the fountain<S>5869</S> gate<S>8179</S> and to the king<S>4428</S>'s pool<S>1295</S>: but there was no place<S>4725</S> for the beast<S>929</S> that was under me to pass<S>5674</S>.


text:
Then went I up<S>5927</S> in the night<S>3915</S> by the brook<S>5158</S>, and viewed<S>7663</S> the wall<S>2346</S>; and I turned back<S>7725</S>, and entered<S>935</S> by the valley<S>1516</S> gate<S>8179</S>, and so returned<S>7725</S>.


text:
And the rulers<S>5461</S> knew<S>3045</S> not whither I went<S>1980</S>, or what I did<S>6213</S>; neither had I as yet<S>3651</S> told<S>5046</S> it to the Jews<S>3064</S>, nor to the priests<S>3548</S>, nor to the nobles<S>2715</S>, nor to the rulers<S>5461</S>, nor to the rest<S>3499</S> that did<S>6213</S> the work<S>4399</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> I unto them<S>7200</S>, Ye see the evil<S>7451</S> case that we are in<S>3389</S>, how Jerusalem lieth waste<S>2720</S>, and the gates<S>8179</S> thereof are burned<S>3341</S> with fire<S>784</S>: come<S>3212</S>, and let us build up<S>1129</S> the wall<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that we be no more a reproach<S>2781</S>.


text:
And I told<S>5046</S> them of the hand<S>3027</S> of my God<S>430</S> which was good<S>2896</S> upon me<S>4428</S>, as also of the king's words<S>1697</S> that he had spoken<S>559</S> unto me<S>559</S>. And they said, Let us rise up<S>6965</S> and build<S>1129</S>. So they strengthened<S>2388</S> their hands<S>3027</S> for the good work<S>2896</S>.


text:
But when Sanballat<S>5571</S> the Horonite<S>2772</S>, and Tobiah<S>2900</S> the servant<S>5650</S>, the Ammonite<S>5984</S>, and Geshem<S>1654</S> the Arabian<S>6163</S>, heard<S>8085</S> it<S>3932</S>, they laughed us to scorn, and despised<S>959</S> us<S>559</S>, and said, What is this thing<S>1697</S> that ye do<S>6213</S>? will ye rebel<S>4775</S> against the king<S>4428</S>?


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto me<S>6440</S>, Why is thy countenance sad<S>7451</S>, seeing thou art not sick<S>2470</S>? this is nothing else but sorrow<S>7455</S> of heart<S>3820</S>. Then I was very<S>3966</S> sore<S>7235</S> afraid<S>3372</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>7725</S> I them<S>559</S>, and said unto them<S>430</S>, The God of heaven<S>8064</S>, he will prosper<S>6743</S> us<S>5650</S>; therefore we his servants will arise<S>6965</S> and build<S>1129</S>: but ye have no portion<S>2506</S>, nor right<S>6666</S>, nor memorial<S>2146</S>, in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>.


text:
And I said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, Let the king<S>4428</S> live<S>2421</S> for ever<S>5769</S>: why should not my countenance<S>6440</S> be sad<S>3415</S>, when the city<S>5892</S>, the place<S>1004</S> of my fathers<S>1</S>' sepulchres<S>6913</S>, lieth waste<S>2720</S>, and the gates<S>8179</S> thereof are consumed<S>398</S> with fire<S>784</S>?


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto me<S>1245</S>, For what dost thou make request? So I prayed<S>6419</S> to the God<S>430</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
And I said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, If it please<S>2895</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and if thy servant<S>5650</S> have found favor<S>3190</S> in thy sight<S>6440</S>, that thou wouldest send<S>7971</S> me unto Judah<S>3063</S>, unto the city<S>5892</S> of my fathers<S>1</S>' sepulchres<S>6913</S>, that I may build it<S>1129</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto me<S>7694</S> (the queen also sitting<S>3427</S> by him<S>681</S>,) For how long shall thy journey<S>4109</S> be<S>7725</S>? and when wilt thou return? So it pleased<S>3190</S> the king<S>4428</S> to send<S>7971</S> me<S>5414</S>; and I set him a time<S>2165</S>.


text:
Moreover I said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, If it please<S>2895</S> the king<S>4428</S>, let letters<S>107</S> be given<S>5414</S> me to the governors<S>6346</S> beyond<S>5676</S> the River<S>5104</S>, that they may let me pass through<S>5674</S> till I come<S>935</S> unto Judah<S>3063</S>;

and a letter<S>107</S> unto Asaph<S>623</S> the keeper<S>8104</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s forest<S>6508</S>, that he may give<S>5414</S> me timber<S>6086</S> to make beams<S>7136</S> for the gates<S>8179</S> of the castle<S>1002</S> which appertaineth to the house<S>1004</S>, and for the wall<S>2346</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and for the house<S>1004</S> that I shall enter into<S>935</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> granted<S>5414</S> me<S>2896</S>, according to the good hand<S>3027</S> of my God upon me<S>430</S>.


text:
Then I came<S>935</S> to the governors<S>6346</S> beyond<S>5676</S> the River<S>5104</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> them the king<S>4428</S>'s letters<S>107</S>. Now the king<S>4428</S> had sent<S>7971</S> with me captains<S>8269</S> of the army<S>2428</S> and horsemen<S>6571</S>.

And it came to pass that<S>3064</S>, when the Jews that dwelt<S>3427</S> by them<S>681</S> came<S>935</S>, they said<S>559</S> unto us ten<S>6235</S> times<S>6471</S> from all places<S>4725</S>, Ye must return unto us<S>7725</S>.


text:
Therefore set<S>5975</S> I in the lowest<S>8482</S> parts<S>4725</S> of the space behind<S>310</S> the wall<S>2346</S>, in the open places<S>6706</S>, I set<S>5975</S> there the people<S>5971</S> after their families<S>4940</S> with their swords<S>2719</S>, their spears<S>7420</S>, and their bows<S>7198</S>.


text:
And I looked<S>7200</S>, and rose up<S>6965</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto the nobles<S>2715</S>, and to the rulers<S>5461</S>, and to the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, Be not ye afraid<S>3372</S> of them<S>6440</S>: remember<S>2142</S> the Lord<S>136</S>, who is great<S>1419</S> and terrible<S>3372</S>, and fight<S>3898</S> for your brethren<S>251</S>, your sons<S>1121</S>, and your daughters<S>1323</S>, your wives<S>802</S>, and your houses<S>1004</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>341</S>, when our enemies heard<S>8085</S> that it was known<S>3045</S> unto us<S>430</S>, and God had brought<S>6565</S> their counsel<S>6098</S> to nought<S>6565</S>, that we returned<S>7725</S> all of us to the wall<S>2346</S>, every one<S>376</S> unto his work<S>4399</S>.


text:
And it came to pass from that time<S>3117</S> forth<S>2677</S>, that half of my servants<S>5288</S> wrought<S>6213</S> in the work<S>4399</S>, and half<S>2677</S> of them held<S>2388</S> the spears<S>7420</S>, the shields<S>4043</S>, and the bows<S>7198</S>, and the coats<S>8302</S> of mail<S>8269</S>; and the rulers were behind<S>310</S> all the house<S>1004</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>.


text:
They all builded<S>1129</S> the wall<S>2346</S> and they that bare<S>5375</S> burdens<S>5447</S> laded<S>6006</S> themselves<S>259</S>; every one with one of his hands<S>3027</S> wrought<S>6213</S> in the work<S>4399</S>, and with the other<S>259</S> held<S>2388</S> his weapon<S>7973</S>;


text:
and the builders<S>1129</S>, every one<S>376</S> had his sword<S>2719</S> girded<S>631</S> by his side<S>4975</S>, and so builded<S>1129</S>. And he that sounded<S>8628</S> the trumpet<S>7782</S> was by me<S>681</S>.


text:
And I said<S>559</S> unto the nobles<S>2715</S>, and to the rulers<S>5461</S> and to the rest<S>3499</S> of the people<S>5971</S>, The work<S>4399</S> is great<S>7235</S> and large<S>7342</S>, and we are separated<S>6504</S> upon the wall<S>2346</S>, one<S>376</S> far from<S>7350</S> another<S>251</S>:


text:
And he spake<S>559</S> before<S>6440</S> his brethren<S>251</S> and the army<S>2428</S> of Samaria<S>8111</S>, and said<S>559</S>, What are these feeble<S>537</S> Jews<S>3064</S> doing<S>6213</S>? will they fortify<S>5800</S> themselves<S>2076</S>? will they sacrifice? will they make an end<S>3615</S> in a day<S>3117</S>? will they revive<S>2421</S> the stones<S>68</S> out of the heaps<S>6194</S> of rubbish<S>6083</S>, seeing they are burned<S>8313</S>?


text:
in what place<S>4725</S> soever ye hear<S>8085</S> the sound<S>6963</S> of the trumpet<S>7782</S>, resort<S>6908</S> ye thither unto us<S>430</S>; our God will fight for us<S>3898</S>.


text:
So we wrought<S>6213</S> in the work<S>4399</S>: and half<S>2677</S> of them held<S>2388</S> the spears<S>7420</S> from the rising<S>5927</S> of the morning<S>7837</S> till the stars<S>3556</S> appeared<S>3318</S>.


text:
Likewise at the same time<S>6256</S> said<S>559</S> I unto the people<S>5971</S>, Let every one<S>376</S> with his servant<S>5288</S> lodge<S>3885</S> within<S>8432</S> Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, that in the night<S>3915</S> they may be a guard<S>4929</S> to us<S>4399</S>, and may labor in the day<S>3117</S>.


text:
So neither I<S>251</S>, nor my brethren, nor my servants<S>5288</S>, nor the men<S>582</S> of the guard<S>4929</S> that followed<S>310</S> me<S>587</S>, none of us put off<S>6584</S> our clothes<S>899</S>, every one<S>376</S> went with his weapon<S>7973</S> to the water<S>4325</S>.


text:
Now Tobiah<S>2900</S> the Ammonite<S>5984</S> was by him<S>681</S>, and he said<S>559</S>, Even that which they are building<S>1129</S>, if a fox<S>7776</S> go up<S>5927</S>, he shall break down<S>6555</S> their stone<S>68</S> wall<S>2346</S>.


text:
Hear<S>8085</S>, O our God<S>430</S>; for we are despised<S>939</S>: and turn<S>7725</S> back their reproach<S>2781</S> upon their own head<S>7218</S>, and give<S>5414</S> them up for a spoil<S>961</S> in a land<S>776</S> of captivity<S>7633</S>;


text:
and cover<S>3680</S> not their iniquity<S>5771</S>, and let not their sin<S>2403</S> be blotted out<S>4229</S> from before<S>6440</S> thee<S>3707</S>; for they have provoked thee to anger before the builders<S>1129</S>.


text:
So we built<S>1129</S> the wall<S>2346</S>; and all the wall<S>2346</S> was joined together<S>7194</S> unto half<S>2677</S> the height thereof<S>5971</S>: for the people had a mind<S>3820</S> to work<S>6213</S>.


text:
But it came to pass that<S>5571</S>, when Sanballat, and Tobiah<S>2900</S>, and the Arabians<S>6163</S>, and the Ammonites<S>5984</S>, and the Ashdodites<S>796</S>, heard<S>8085</S> that the repairing of the walls<S>2346</S> of Jerusalem<S>3389</S> went forward<S>724</S>, and that the breaches<S>6555</S> began<S>2490</S> to be stopped<S>5640</S>, then they were very<S>3966</S> wroth<S>2734</S>;


text:
and they conspired<S>7194</S> all of them together<S>3162</S> to come<S>935</S> and fight<S>3898</S> against Jerusalem<S>3389</S>, and to cause confusion therein<S>6213</S>.


text:
But we made our prayer<S>6419</S> unto our God<S>430</S>, and set<S>5975</S> a watch<S>4929</S> against them day<S>3119</S> and night<S>3915</S>, because of them<S>6440</S>.


text:
Then there arose a great<S>1419</S> cry<S>6818</S> of the people<S>5971</S> and of their wives<S>802</S> against their brethren<S>251</S> the Jews<S>3064</S>.


text:
And I likewise<S>251</S>, my brethren and my servants<S>5288</S>, do lend<S>5383</S> them money<S>3701</S> and grain<S>1715</S>. I pray you<S>5800</S>, let us leave off this usury<S>4855</S>.


text:
Restore<S>7725</S>, I pray you<S>3117</S>, to them, even this day, their fields<S>7704</S>, their vineyards<S>3754</S>, their oliveyards<S>2132</S>, and their houses<S>1004</S>, also the hundredth<S>3967</S> part of the money<S>3701</S>, and of the grain<S>1715</S>, the new wine<S>8492</S>, and the oil<S>3323</S>, that ye exact of them<S>5383</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> they<S>7725</S>, We will restore them<S>1245</S>, and will require nothing of them<S>6213</S>; so will we do, even as thou sayest<S>559</S>. Then I called<S>7121</S> the priests<S>3548</S>, and took an oath<S>7650</S> of them<S>6213</S>, that they would do according to this promise<S>1697</S>.


text:
Also I shook<S>5287</S> out my lap<S>2684</S>, and said<S>559</S>, So God<S>430</S> shake out<S>5287</S> every man<S>376</S> from his house<S>1004</S>, and from his labor<S>3018</S>, that performeth<S>6965</S> not this promise<S>1697</S>; even thus be he shaken out<S>5287</S>, and emptied<S>7386</S>. And all the assembly<S>6951</S> said<S>559</S>, Amen<S>543</S>, and praised<S>1984</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>. And the people<S>5971</S> did<S>6213</S> according to this promise<S>1697</S>.


text:
Moreover from the time<S>3117</S> that I was appointed<S>6680</S> to be their governor<S>6346</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, from the twentieth<S>6242</S> year<S>8141</S> even unto the two<S>8147</S> and thirtieth<S>7970</S> year<S>8141</S> of Artaxerxes<S>783</S> the king<S>4428</S>, that is<S>8147</S>, twelve years<S>8141</S>, I and my brethren<S>251</S> have not eaten<S>398</S> the bread<S>3899</S> of the governor<S>6346</S>.


text:
But the former<S>7223</S> governors<S>6346</S> that were before<S>6440</S> me were chargeable<S>3513</S> unto the people<S>5971</S>, and took<S>3947</S> of them bread<S>3899</S> and wine<S>3196</S>, besides<S>310</S> forty<S>705</S> shekels<S>8255</S> of silver<S>3701</S>; yea<S>1571</S>, even their servants<S>5288</S> bare rule<S>7980</S> over the people<S>5971</S>: but so did<S>6213</S> not I<S>6440</S>, because of the fear<S>3374</S> of God<S>430</S>.


text:
Yea<S>2388</S>, also I continued in the work<S>4399</S> of this wall<S>2346</S>, neither bought<S>7069</S> we any land<S>7704</S>: and all my servants<S>5288</S> were gathered<S>6908</S> thither unto the work<S>4399</S>.


text:
Moreover there were at my table<S>7979</S>, of the Jews<S>3064</S> and the rulers<S>5461</S>, a hundred<S>3967</S> and fifty<S>2572</S> men<S>935</S>, besides those that came unto us from among the nations<S>1471</S> that were round about us<S>5439</S>.


text:
Now that which was prepared<S>6213</S> for one day<S>3117</S> was one<S>259</S> ox<S>7794</S> and six<S>8337</S> choice<S>1305</S> sheep<S>6629</S>; also fowls<S>6833</S> were prepared<S>6213</S> for me<S>6235</S>, and once in ten days<S>3117</S> store<S>7235</S> of all sorts of wine<S>3196</S>: yet for all<S>5973</S> this I demanded<S>1245</S> not the bread<S>3899</S> of the governor<S>6346</S>, because the bondage<S>5656</S> was heavy<S>3513</S> upon this people<S>5971</S>.


text:
Remember<S>2142</S> unto me<S>430</S>, O my God, for good<S>2896</S>, all that I have done<S>6213</S> for this people<S>5971</S>.


text:
For there were<S>3426</S> that said<S>559</S>, We<S>1121</S>, our sons and our daughters<S>1323</S>, are many<S>7227</S>: let us get<S>3947</S> grain<S>1715</S>, that we may eat<S>398</S> and live<S>2421</S>.


text:
Some also there were<S>3426</S> that said<S>559</S>, We are mortgaging<S>6148</S> our fields<S>7704</S>, and our vineyards<S>3754</S>, and our houses<S>1004</S>: let us get<S>3947</S> grain<S>1715</S>, because of the dearth<S>7458</S>.


text:
There were<S>3426</S> also that said<S>559</S>, We have borrowed<S>3867</S> money<S>3701</S> for the king<S>4428</S>'s tribute<S>4060</S> upon our fields<S>7704</S> and our vineyards<S>3754</S>.


text:
Yet now our flesh<S>1320</S> is as the flesh<S>1320</S> of our brethren<S>251</S>, our children<S>1121</S> as their children<S>1121</S>: and<S>3533</S>, lo, we bring into bondage our sons<S>1121</S> and our daughters<S>1323</S> to be servants<S>5650</S>, and some of our daughters<S>1323</S> are<S>3426</S> brought into bondage<S>3533</S> already<S>410</S>: neither is it in our power to help it<S>312</S>; for other men have our fields<S>7704</S> and our vineyards<S>3754</S>.


text:
And I was very<S>3966</S> angry<S>2734</S> when I heard<S>8085</S> their cry<S>2201</S> and these words<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then I consulted<S>4427</S> with myself<S>3820</S>, and contended<S>7378</S> with the nobles<S>2715</S> and the rulers<S>5461</S>, and said<S>559</S> unto them<S>5383</S>, Ye exact usury<S>4855</S>, every one<S>376</S> of his brother<S>251</S>. And I held<S>5414</S> a great<S>1419</S> assembly against them<S>6952</S>.


text:
And I said<S>559</S> unto them<S>1767</S>, We after our ability have redeemed<S>7069</S> our brethren<S>251</S> the Jews<S>3064</S>, that were sold<S>4376</S> unto the nations<S>1471</S>; and would ye even sell<S>4376</S> your brethren<S>251</S>, and should they be sold<S>4376</S> unto us<S>2790</S>? Then held they their peace, and found<S>4672</S> never a word<S>1697</S>.


text:
Also I said<S>559</S>, The thing that<S>1697</S> ye do<S>6213</S> is not good<S>2896</S>: ought ye not to walk<S>3212</S> in the fear<S>3374</S> of our God<S>430</S>, because of the reproach<S>2781</S> of the nations<S>1471</S> our enemies<S>341</S>?


text:
Now it came to pass<S>8085</S>, when it was reported to Sanballat<S>5571</S> and Tobiah<S>2900</S>, and to Geshem<S>1654</S> the Arabian<S>6163</S>, and unto the rest<S>3499</S> of our enemies<S>341</S>, that I had builded<S>1129</S> the wall<S>2346</S>, and that there was no breach<S>6556</S> left<S>3498</S> therein<S>1571</S>; (though even unto that time<S>6256</S> I had not set up<S>5975</S> the doors<S>1817</S> in the gates<S>8179</S>;)


text:
And I went<S>935</S> unto the house<S>1004</S> of Shemaiah<S>8098</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Delaiah<S>1806</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Mehetabel<S>4105</S>, who was shut up<S>6113</S>; and he said<S>559</S>, Let us meet together<S>3259</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of God<S>430</S>, within<S>8432</S> the temple<S>1964</S>, and let us shut<S>5462</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of the temple<S>1964</S>: for they will come<S>935</S> to slay<S>2026</S> thee<S>3915</S>; yea, in the night will they come<S>935</S> to slay thee<S>2026</S>.


text:
And I said<S>559</S>, Should such<S>3644</S> a man<S>376</S> as I flee<S>1272</S>? and who is there<S>935</S>, that, being such as I, would go into the temple<S>1964</S> to save his life<S>2425</S>? I will not go in<S>935</S>.


text:
And I discerned<S>5234</S>, and<S>430</S>, lo, God had not sent<S>7971</S> him<S>1696</S>; but he pronounced this prophecy<S>5016</S> against me<S>2900</S>: and Tobiah and Sanballat<S>5571</S> had hired him<S>7936</S>.


text:
For this cause was he hired<S>7936</S>, that I should be afraid<S>3372</S>, and do so<S>6213</S>, and sin<S>2398</S>, and that they might have matter for an evil<S>7451</S> report<S>8034</S>, that they might reproach me<S>2778</S>.


text:
Remember<S>2142</S>, O my God<S>430</S>, Tobiah<S>2900</S> and Sanballat<S>5571</S> according to these their works<S>4639</S>, and also the prophetess<S>5031</S> Noadiah<S>5129</S>, and the rest<S>3499</S> of the prophets<S>5030</S>, that would have put me in fear<S>3372</S>.


text:
So the wall<S>2346</S> was finished<S>7999</S> in the twenty<S>6242</S> and fifth<S>2568</S> day of the month Elul<S>435</S>, in fifty<S>2572</S> and two<S>8147</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And it came to pass<S>341</S>, when all our enemies heard<S>8085</S> thereof<S>1471</S>, that all the nations that were about us<S>5439</S> feared<S>7200</S>, and were much<S>3966</S> cast down<S>5307</S> in their own eyes<S>5869</S>; for they perceived<S>3045</S> that this work<S>4399</S> was wrought<S>4399</S> of our God<S>430</S>.


text:
Moreover in those days<S>3117</S> the nobles<S>2715</S> of Judah<S>3063</S> sent<S>1980</S> many<S>7235</S> letters<S>107</S> unto Tobiah<S>2900</S>, and the letters of Tobiah<S>2900</S> came unto them<S>935</S>.


text:
For there were many<S>7227</S> in Judah<S>3063</S> sworn<S>1167</S> unto him<S>2860</S>, because he was the son-in-law of Shecaniah<S>7935</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Arah<S>733</S>; and his son<S>1121</S> Jehohanan<S>3076</S> had taken<S>3947</S> the daughter<S>1323</S> of Meshullam<S>4918</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Berechiah to wife<S>1296</S>.


text:
Also they spake<S>559</S> of his good deeds<S>2896</S> before<S>6440</S> me<S>3318</S>, and reported my words<S>1697</S> to him<S>2900</S>. And Tobiah sent<S>7971</S> letters<S>107</S> to put me in fear<S>3372</S>.


text:
that Sanballat<S>5571</S> and Geshem<S>1654</S> sent<S>7971</S> unto me<S>559</S>, saying, Come<S>3212</S>, let us meet<S>3259</S> together<S>3162</S> in one of the villages<S>3715</S> in the plain<S>1237</S> of Ono<S>207</S>. But they thought<S>2803</S> to do<S>6213</S> me mischief<S>7451</S>.


text:
And I sent<S>7971</S> messengers<S>4397</S> unto them<S>559</S>, saying, I am doing<S>6213</S> a great<S>1419</S> work<S>4399</S>, so that I cannot<S>3201</S> come down<S>3381</S>: why should the work<S>4399</S> cease<S>7673</S>, whilst<S>834</S> I leave<S>7503</S> it<S>3381</S>, and come down to you?


text:
And they sent<S>7971</S> unto me four<S>702</S> times<S>6471</S> after this sort<S>1697</S>; and I answered<S>7725</S> them after the same manner<S>1697</S>.

And all the assembly<S>6951</S> of them that were come again<S>7725</S> out of the captivity<S>7628</S> made<S>6213</S> booths<S>5521</S>, and dwelt<S>3427</S> in the booths<S>5521</S>; for since the days<S>3117</S> of Jeshua<S>3442</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Nun<S>5126</S> unto that day<S>3117</S> had not the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> done so<S>6213</S>. And there was very<S>3966</S> great<S>1419</S> gladness<S>8057</S>.


text:
Also day<S>3117</S> by day<S>3117</S>, from the first<S>7223</S> day<S>3117</S> unto the last<S>314</S> day<S>3117</S>, he read<S>7121</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of God<S>430</S>. And they kept<S>6213</S> the feast<S>2282</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>; and on the eighth<S>8066</S> day<S>3117</S> was a solemn assembly<S>6116</S>, according unto the ordinance<S>4941</S>.


text:
And Ezra<S>5830</S> the priest<S>3548</S> brought<S>935</S> the law<S>8451</S> before<S>6440</S> the assembly<S>6951</S>, both men<S>376</S> and women<S>802</S>, and all that could hear<S>8085</S> with understanding<S>995</S>, upon the first<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> of the seventh<S>7637</S> month<S>2320</S>.


text:
And he read<S>7121</S> therein before<S>6440</S> the broad<S>7339</S> place that was before<S>6440</S> the water<S>4325</S> gate<S>8179</S> from early morning<S>216</S> until midday<S>4276</S>, in the presence of the men<S>582</S> and the women<S>802</S>, and of those that could understand<S>995</S>; and the ears<S>241</S> of all the people<S>5971</S> were attentive unto the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S>.


text:
And Ezra<S>5830</S> the scribe<S>5608</S> stood<S>5975</S> upon a pulpit<S>4026</S> of wood<S>6086</S>, which they had made<S>6213</S> for the purpose<S>1697</S>; and beside<S>681</S> him stood<S>5975</S> Mattithiah<S>4993</S>, and Shema<S>8087</S>, and Anaiah<S>6043</S>, and Uriah<S>223</S>, and Hilkiah<S>2518</S>, and Maaseiah<S>4641</S>, on his right hand<S>3225</S>; and on his left hand<S>8040</S>, Pedaiah<S>6305</S>, and Mishael<S>4332</S>, and Malchijah<S>4441</S>, and Hashum<S>2828</S>, and Hashbaddanah<S>2806</S>, Zechariah<S>2148</S>, and Meshullam<S>4918</S>.


text:
And Ezra<S>5830</S> opened<S>6605</S> the book<S>5612</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of all the people<S>5971</S>; (for he was above all the people<S>5971</S>;) and when he opened<S>6605</S> it<S>5971</S>, all the people stood up<S>5975</S>:


text:
and Ezra<S>5830</S> blessed<S>1288</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, the great<S>1419</S> God<S>430</S>. And all the people<S>5971</S> answered<S>6030</S>, Amen<S>543</S>, Amen<S>543</S>, with the lifting up<S>4607</S> of their hands<S>3027</S>: and they bowed<S>6915</S> their heads<S>7812</S>, and worshipped Jehovah<S>3068</S> with their faces<S>639</S> to the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
Also Jeshua<S>3442</S>, and Bani<S>1137</S>, and Sherebiah<S>8274</S>, Jamin<S>3226</S>, Akkub<S>6126</S>, Shabbethai<S>7678</S>, Hodiah<S>1941</S>, Maaseiah<S>4641</S>, Kelita<S>7042</S>, Azariah<S>5838</S>, Jozabad<S>3107</S>, Hanan<S>2605</S>, Pelaiah<S>6411</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S>, caused the people<S>5971</S> to understand<S>995</S> the law<S>8451</S>: and the people<S>5971</S> stood in their place<S>5977</S>.


text:
And they read<S>7121</S> in the book<S>5612</S>, in the law<S>8451</S> of God<S>430</S>, distinctly<S>6567</S>; and they gave<S>7760</S> the sense<S>7922</S>, so that they understood<S>995</S> the reading<S>4744</S>.


text:
And Nehemiah<S>5166</S>, who was the governor<S>8660</S>, and Ezra<S>5830</S> the priest<S>3548</S> the scribe<S>5608</S>, and the Levites<S>3881</S> that taught<S>995</S> the people<S>5971</S>, said<S>559</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S>, This day<S>3117</S> is holy<S>6918</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S>; mourn<S>56</S> not<S>1058</S>, nor weep. For all the people<S>5971</S> wept<S>1058</S>, when they heard<S>8085</S> the words<S>1697</S> of the law<S>8451</S>.


text:
Now in the twenty<S>6242</S> and fourth<S>702</S> day<S>3117</S> of this month<S>2320</S> the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> were assembled<S>622</S> with fasting<S>6685</S>, and with sackcloth<S>8242</S>, and earth upon them<S>127</S>.


text:
and showedst<S>5414</S> signs<S>226</S> and wonders<S>4159</S> upon Pharaoh<S>6547</S>, and on all his servants<S>5650</S>, and on all the people<S>5971</S> of his land<S>776</S>; for thou knewest<S>3045</S> that they dealt proudly<S>2102</S> against them<S>6213</S>, and didst get thee a name<S>8034</S>, as it is this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
And thou didst divide<S>1234</S> the sea<S>3220</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>5674</S>, so that they went through the midst<S>8432</S> of the sea<S>3220</S> on the dry land<S>3004</S>; and their pursuers<S>7291</S> thou didst cast<S>7993</S> into the depths<S>4688</S>, as a stone<S>68</S> into the mighty<S>5794</S> waters<S>4325</S>.


text:
Moreover in a pillar<S>5982</S> of cloud<S>6051</S> thou leddest<S>5148</S> them by day<S>3119</S>; and in a pillar<S>5982</S> of fire<S>784</S> by night<S>3915</S>, to give them light<S>215</S> in the way<S>1870</S> wherein they should go<S>3212</S>.


text:
Thou camest down<S>3381</S> also upon mount<S>2022</S> Sinai<S>5514</S>, and spakest<S>1696</S> with them from heaven<S>8064</S>, and gavest<S>5414</S> them right<S>3477</S> ordinances<S>4941</S> and true<S>571</S> laws<S>8451</S>, good<S>2896</S> statutes<S>2706</S> and commandments<S>4687</S>,


text:
and madest known<S>3045</S> unto them thy holy<S>6944</S> sabbath<S>7676</S>, and commandedst<S>6680</S> them commandments<S>4687</S>, and statutes<S>2706</S>, and a law<S>8451</S>, by<S>3027</S> Moses<S>4872</S> thy servant<S>5650</S>,


text:
and gavest<S>5414</S> them bread<S>3899</S> from heaven<S>8064</S> for their hunger<S>7458</S>, and broughtest forth<S>3318</S> water<S>4325</S> for them out of the rock<S>5553</S> for their thirst<S>6772</S>, and commandedst<S>559</S> them that they should go in<S>935</S> to possess<S>3423</S> the land<S>776</S> which thou hadst sworn<S>3027</S> to give them<S>5414</S>.


text:
But they and our fathers<S>1</S> dealt proudly<S>2102</S> and hardened<S>7185</S> their neck<S>6203</S>, and hearkened<S>8085</S> not to thy commandments<S>4687</S>,


text:
and refused<S>3985</S> to obey<S>8085</S>, neither were mindful<S>2142</S> of thy wonders<S>6381</S> that thou didst<S>6213</S> among them<S>7185</S>, but hardened their neck<S>6203</S>, and in their rebellion<S>4805</S> appointed<S>5414</S> a captain<S>7218</S> to return<S>7725</S> to their bondage<S>5659</S>. But thou art a God<S>433</S> ready to pardon<S>5547</S>, gracious<S>2587</S> and merciful<S>7349</S>, slow<S>750</S> to anger<S>639</S>, and abundant<S>7227</S> in lovingkindness<S>2617</S>, and forsookest them not<S>5800</S>.


text:
Yea<S>6213</S>, when they had made them a molten<S>4541</S> calf<S>5695</S>, and said<S>559</S>, This is thy God<S>430</S> that brought thee up<S>5927</S> out of Egypt<S>4714</S>, and had wrought<S>6213</S> great<S>1419</S> provocations<S>5007</S>;


text:
yet thou in thy manifold<S>7227</S> mercies<S>7356</S> forsookest<S>5800</S> them not in the wilderness<S>4057</S>: the pillar<S>5982</S> of cloud<S>6051</S> departed<S>5493</S> not from over them by day<S>3119</S>, to lead<S>5148</S> them in the way<S>1870</S>; neither the pillar<S>5982</S> of fire<S>784</S> by night<S>3915</S>, to show them light<S>215</S>, and the way<S>1870</S> wherein they should go<S>3212</S>.


text:
And the seed<S>2233</S> of Israel<S>3478</S> separated<S>914</S> themselves from all foreigners<S>1121</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> and confessed<S>3034</S> their sins<S>2403</S>, and the iniquities<S>5771</S> of their fathers<S>1</S>.


text:
Thou gavest<S>5414</S> also thy good<S>2896</S> Spirit<S>7307</S> to instruct<S>7919</S> them<S>4513</S>, and withheldest not thy manna<S>4478</S> from their mouth<S>6310</S>, and gavest<S>5414</S> them water<S>4325</S> for their thirst<S>6772</S>.


text:
Yea<S>705</S>, forty years<S>8141</S> didst thou sustain<S>3557</S> them in the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and they lacked<S>2637</S> nothing<S>8008</S>; their clothes waxed not old<S>1086</S>, and their feet<S>7272</S> swelled not<S>1216</S>.


text:
Moreover thou gavest<S>5414</S> them kingdoms<S>4467</S> and peoples<S>5971</S>, which thou didst allot<S>2505</S> after their portions<S>6285</S>: so they possessed<S>3423</S> the land<S>776</S> of Sihon<S>5511</S>, even the land<S>776</S> of the king<S>4428</S> of Heshbon<S>2809</S>, and the land<S>776</S> of Og<S>5747</S> king<S>4428</S> of Bashan<S>1316</S>.


text:
Their children<S>1121</S> also multipliedst<S>7235</S> thou as the stars<S>3556</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>, and broughtest<S>935</S> them into the land<S>776</S> concerning which thou didst say<S>559</S> to their fathers<S>1</S>, that they should go in<S>935</S> to possess it<S>3423</S>.


text:
So the children<S>1121</S> went in<S>935</S> and possessed<S>3423</S> the land<S>776</S>, and thou subduedst<S>3665</S> before<S>6440</S> them the inhabitants<S>3427</S> of the land<S>776</S>, the Canaanites<S>3669</S>, and gavest<S>5414</S> them into their hands<S>3027</S>, with their kings<S>4428</S>, and the peoples<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S>, that they might do<S>6213</S> with them as they would<S>7522</S>.


text:
And they took<S>3920</S> fortified<S>1219</S> cities<S>5892</S>, and a fat<S>8082</S> land<S>127</S>, and possessed<S>3423</S> houses<S>1004</S> full<S>4392</S> of all good things<S>2898</S>, cisterns<S>953</S> hewn<S>2672</S> out<S>3754</S>, vineyards, and oliveyards<S>2132</S>, and fruit<S>3978</S> - trees<S>6086</S> in abundance<S>7230</S>: so they did eat<S>398</S>, and were filled<S>7646</S>, and became fat<S>8080</S>, and delighted<S>5727</S> themselves in thy great<S>1419</S> goodness<S>2898</S>.


text:
Nevertheless they were disobedient<S>4784</S>, and rebelled<S>4775</S> against thee<S>7993</S>, and cast thy law<S>8451</S> behind<S>310</S> their back<S>1458</S>, and slew<S>2026</S> thy prophets<S>5030</S> that testified<S>5749</S> against them to turn<S>7725</S> them again unto thee<S>6213</S>, and they wrought great<S>1419</S> provocations<S>5007</S>.


text:
Therefore thou deliveredst<S>5414</S> them into the hand<S>3027</S> of their adversaries<S>6862</S>, who distressed<S>6887</S> them<S>6256</S>: and in the time of their trouble<S>6869</S>, when they cried<S>6817</S> unto thee<S>8085</S>, thou heardest from heaven<S>8064</S>; and according to thy manifold<S>7227</S> mercies<S>7356</S> thou gavest<S>5414</S> them saviours<S>3467</S> who saved<S>3467</S> them out of the hand<S>3027</S> of their adversaries<S>6862</S>.


text:
But after they had rest<S>5117</S>, they did<S>6213</S> evil<S>7451</S> again<S>7725</S> before<S>6440</S> thee<S>5800</S>; therefore leftest thou them in the hand<S>3027</S> of their enemies<S>341</S>, so that they had the dominion<S>7287</S> over them<S>7725</S>: yet when they returned, and cried<S>2199</S> unto thee<S>8085</S>, thou heardest from heaven<S>8064</S>; and many<S>7227</S> times<S>6256</S> didst thou deliver<S>5337</S> them according to thy mercies<S>7356</S>,


text:
and testifiedst<S>5749</S> against them<S>7725</S>, that thou mightest bring them again unto thy law<S>8451</S>. Yet they dealt proudly<S>2102</S>, and hearkened<S>8085</S> not unto thy commandments<S>4687</S>, but sinned<S>2398</S> against thine ordinances<S>4941</S>, (which if a man<S>120</S> do<S>6213</S>, he shall live<S>2421</S> in them<S>5414</S>), and withdrew the shoulder<S>3802</S>, and hardened<S>7185</S> their neck<S>6203</S>, and would not hear<S>8085</S>.


text:
And they stood up<S>6965</S> in their place<S>5977</S>, and read<S>7121</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the law<S>8451</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S> a fourth part<S>7243</S> of the day<S>3117</S>; and another fourth part<S>7243</S> they confessed<S>3034</S>, and worshipped<S>7812</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>.


text:
Yet many<S>7227</S> years<S>8141</S> didst thou bear with them<S>5749</S>, and testifiedst against them by thy Spirit<S>7307</S> through<S>3027</S> thy prophets<S>5030</S>: yet would they not give<S>5414</S> ear<S>238</S>: therefore gavest<S>5414</S> thou them into the hand<S>3027</S> of the peoples<S>5971</S> of the lands<S>776</S>.


text:
Nevertheless in thy manifold<S>7227</S> mercies<S>7356</S> thou didst<S>6213</S> not make a full end<S>3617</S> of them<S>5800</S>, nor forsake them<S>2587</S>; for thou art a gracious and merciful<S>7349</S> God<S>410</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>430</S>, our God, the great<S>1419</S>, the mighty<S>1368</S>, and the terrible<S>3372</S> God<S>410</S>, who keepest<S>8104</S> covenant<S>1285</S> and lovingkindness<S>2617</S>, let not all the travail<S>8513</S> seem little<S>4591</S> before<S>6440</S> thee<S>4672</S>, that hath come upon us<S>4428</S>, on our kings, on our princes<S>8269</S>, and on our priests<S>3548</S>, and on our prophets<S>5030</S>, and on our fathers<S>1</S>, and on all thy people<S>5971</S>, since the time<S>3117</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Assyria<S>804</S> unto this day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Howbeit thou art just<S>6662</S> in all that is come<S>935</S> upon us<S>6213</S>; for thou hast dealt truly<S>6213</S>, but we have done wickedly<S>7561</S>;


text:
neither have our kings<S>4428</S>, our princes<S>8269</S>, our priests<S>3548</S>, nor our fathers<S>1</S>, kept<S>6213</S> thy law<S>8451</S>, nor hearkened<S>7181</S> unto thy commandments<S>4687</S> and thy testimonies<S>5715</S> wherewith thou didst testify against them<S>5749</S>.


text:
For they have not served<S>5647</S> thee in their kingdom<S>4438</S>, and in thy great<S>7227</S> goodness<S>2898</S> that thou gavest<S>5414</S> them<S>7342</S>, and in the large and fat<S>8082</S> land<S>776</S> which thou gavest<S>5414</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>7725</S>, neither turned they from their wicked<S>7451</S> works<S>4611</S>.


text:
Behold<S>5650</S>, we are servants this day<S>3117</S>, and as for the land<S>776</S> that thou gavest<S>5414</S> unto our fathers<S>1</S> to eat<S>398</S> the fruit<S>6529</S> thereof and the good<S>2898</S> thereof<S>5650</S>, behold, we are servants in it.


text:
And it yieldeth much<S>7235</S> increase<S>8393</S> unto the kings<S>4428</S> whom thou hast set<S>5414</S> over us because of our sins<S>2403</S>: also they have power<S>4910</S> over our bodies<S>1472</S>, and over our cattle<S>929</S>, at their pleasure<S>7522</S>, and we are in great<S>1419</S> distress<S>6869</S>.


text:
And yet for all this we make<S>3772</S> a sure<S>548</S> covenant<S>3789</S>, and write it<S>8269</S>; and our princes, our Levites<S>3881</S>, and our priests<S>3548</S>, seal unto it<S>2856</S>.


text:
Then stood up<S>6965</S> upon the stairs<S>4608</S> of the Levites<S>3881</S>, Jeshua<S>3442</S>, and Bani<S>1137</S>, Kadmiel<S>6934</S>, Shebaniah<S>7645</S>, Bunni<S>1138</S>, Sherebiah<S>8274</S>, Bani<S>1137</S>, and Chenani<S>3662</S>, and cried<S>2199</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> voice<S>6963</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> their God<S>430</S>.


text:
Then the Levites<S>3881</S>, Jeshua<S>3442</S>, and Kadmiel<S>6934</S>, Bani<S>1137</S>, Hashabneiah<S>2813</S>, Sherebiah<S>8274</S>, Hodiah<S>1941</S>, Shebaniah<S>7645</S>, and Pethahiah<S>6611</S>, said<S>559</S>, Stand up<S>6965</S> and bless<S>1288</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> your God<S>430</S> from everlasting<S>5769</S> to everlasting<S>5769</S>; and blessed<S>1288</S> be thy glorious<S>3519</S> name<S>8034</S>, which is exalted<S>7311</S> above all blessing<S>1293</S> and praise<S>8416</S>.

Thou art Jehovah<S>3068</S>, even thou alone<S>6213</S>; thou hast made heaven<S>8064</S>, the heaven<S>8064</S> of heavens<S>8064</S>, with all their host<S>6635</S>, the earth<S>776</S> and all things that are thereon<S>3220</S>, the seas and all that is in them<S>2421</S>, and thou preservest them all<S>6635</S>; and the host of heaven<S>8064</S> worshippeth thee<S>7812</S>.


text:
Thou art Jehovah<S>3068</S> the God<S>430</S>, who didst choose<S>977</S> Abram<S>87</S>, and broughtest him forth<S>3318</S> out of Ur<S>218</S> of the Chaldees<S>3778</S>, and gavest<S>7760</S> him the name<S>8034</S> of Abraham<S>85</S>,


text:
and foundest<S>4672</S> his heart<S>3824</S> faithful<S>539</S> before<S>6440</S> thee<S>3772</S>, and madest a covenant<S>1285</S> with him to give<S>5414</S> the land<S>776</S> of the Canaanite<S>3669</S>, the Hittite<S>2850</S>, the Amorite<S>567</S>, and the Perizzite<S>6522</S>, and the Jebusite<S>2983</S>, and the Girgashite<S>1622</S>, to give<S>5414</S> it unto his seed<S>2233</S>, and hast performed<S>6965</S> thy words<S>1697</S>; for thou art righteous<S>6662</S>.


text:
And thou sawest<S>7200</S> the affliction<S>6040</S> of our fathers<S>1</S> in Egypt<S>4714</S>, and heardest<S>8085</S> their cry<S>2201</S> by the Red<S>5488</S> Sea<S>3220</S>,


text:
Now it came to pass in the days<S>3117</S> of Ahasuerus<S>325</S> (this is Ahasuerus<S>325</S> who reigned<S>4427</S> from India<S>1912</S> even unto Ethiopia<S>3568</S>, over a hundred<S>3967</S> and seven<S>7651</S> and twenty<S>6242</S> provinces<S>4082</S>),


text:
On the seventh<S>7637</S> day<S>3117</S>, when the heart<S>3820</S> of the king<S>4428</S> was merry<S>2896</S> with wine<S>3196</S>, he commanded<S>559</S> Mehuman<S>4104</S>, Biztha<S>968</S>, Harbona<S>2726</S>, Bigtha<S>903</S>, and Abagtha<S>5</S>, Zethar<S>2242</S>, and Carcas<S>3752</S>, the seven<S>7651</S> chamberlains<S>5631</S> that ministered<S>8334</S> in the presence<S>6440</S> of Ahasuerus<S>325</S> the king<S>4428</S>,


text:
to bring<S>935</S> Vashti<S>2060</S> the queen<S>4436</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> with the crown<S>3804</S> royal<S>4438</S>, to show<S>7200</S> the peoples<S>5971</S> and the princes<S>8269</S> her beauty<S>3308</S>; for she was fair<S>2896</S> to look on<S>4758</S>.


text:
But the queen<S>4436</S> Vashti<S>2060</S> refused<S>3985</S> to come<S>935</S> at the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>1697</S> by<S>3027</S> the chamberlains<S>5631</S>: therefore was the king<S>4428</S> very<S>3966</S> wroth<S>7107</S>, and his anger<S>2534</S> burned in him<S>1197</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to the wise men<S>2450</S>, who knew<S>3045</S> the times<S>6256</S>, (for so was the king<S>4428</S>'s manner<S>1697</S> toward<S>6440</S> all that knew<S>3045</S> law<S>1881</S> and judgment<S>1779</S>;


text:
and the next<S>7138</S> unto him were Carshena<S>3771</S>, Shethar<S>8369</S>, Admatha<S>133</S>, Tarshish<S>8659</S>, Meres<S>4825</S>, Marsena<S>4826</S>, and Memucan<S>4462</S>, the seven<S>7651</S> princes<S>8269</S> of Persia<S>6539</S> and Media<S>4074</S>, who saw<S>7200</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s face<S>6440</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> first<S>7223</S> in the kingdom<S>4438</S>),


text:
What shall we do<S>6213</S> unto the queen<S>4436</S> Vashti<S>2060</S> according to law<S>1881</S>, because she hath not done<S>6213</S> the bidding<S>3982</S> of the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> by<S>3027</S> the chamberlains<S>5631</S>?


text:
And Memucan<S>4462</S> answered<S>559</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> and the princes<S>8269</S>, Vashti<S>2060</S> the queen<S>4436</S> hath not done wrong<S>5753</S> to the king<S>4428</S> only<S>8269</S>, but also to all the princes, and to all the peoples<S>5971</S> that are in all the provinces<S>4082</S> of the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>.


text:
For this deed<S>1697</S> of the queen<S>4436</S> will come abroad<S>3318</S> unto all women<S>802</S>, to make their husbands<S>1167</S> contemptible<S>959</S> in their eyes<S>5869</S>, when it shall be reported<S>559</S>, The king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> commanded<S>559</S> Vashti<S>2060</S> the queen<S>4436</S> to be brought in<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>935</S>, but she came not.


text:
And this day<S>3117</S> will the princesses<S>8282</S> of Persia<S>6539</S> and Media<S>4074</S> who have heard<S>8085</S> of the deed<S>1697</S> of the queen<S>4436</S> say<S>559</S> the like unto all the king<S>4428</S>'s princes<S>8269</S>. So will there arise much<S>1767</S> contempt<S>963</S> and wrath<S>7110</S>.


text:
If it please<S>2895</S> the king<S>4428</S>, let there go<S>3318</S> forth a royal<S>4438</S> commandment<S>1697</S> from him<S>6440</S>, and let it be written<S>3789</S> among the laws<S>1881</S> of the Persians<S>6539</S> and the Medes<S>4074</S>, that it be not altered<S>5674</S>, that Vashti<S>2060</S> come<S>935</S> no more before<S>6440</S> king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>; and let the king<S>4428</S> give<S>5414</S> her royal estate<S>4438</S> unto another<S>7468</S> that is better than she<S>2896</S>.


text:
that in those days<S>3117</S>, when the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> sat<S>3427</S> on the throne<S>3678</S> of his kingdom<S>4438</S>, which was in Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S>,


text:
And when the king<S>4428</S>'s decree<S>6599</S> which he shall make<S>6213</S> shall be published<S>8085</S> throughout all his kingdom<S>4438</S> (for it is great<S>7227</S>), all the wives<S>802</S> will give<S>5414</S> to their husbands<S>1167</S> honor<S>3366</S>, both to great<S>1419</S> and small<S>6996</S>.


text:
And the saying<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3190</S> the king<S>4428</S> and the princes<S>8269</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> did<S>6213</S> according to the word<S>1697</S> of Memucan<S>4462</S>:


text:
for he sent<S>7971</S> letters<S>5612</S> into all the king<S>4428</S>'s provinces<S>4082</S>, into every province<S>4082</S> according to the writing<S>3791</S> thereof<S>5971</S>, and to every people after their language<S>3956</S>, that every man<S>376</S> should bear rule<S>8323</S> in his own house<S>1004</S>, and should speak<S>1696</S> according to the language<S>3956</S> of his people<S>5971</S>.


text:
in the third<S>7969</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4427</S>, he made<S>6213</S> a feast<S>4960</S> unto all his princes<S>8269</S> and his servants<S>5650</S>; the power<S>2428</S> of Persia<S>6539</S> and Media<S>4074</S>, the nobles<S>6579</S> and princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>, being before him<S>6440</S>;


text:
when he showed<S>7200</S> the riches<S>6239</S> of his glorious<S>3519</S> kingdom<S>4438</S> and the honor<S>3366</S> of his excellent<S>8597</S> majesty<S>1420</S> many<S>7227</S> days<S>3117</S>, even a hundred<S>3967</S> and fourscore<S>8084</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
And when these days<S>3117</S> were fulfilled<S>4390</S>, the king<S>4428</S> made<S>6213</S> a feast<S>4960</S> unto all the people<S>5971</S> that were present<S>4672</S> in Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S>, both great<S>1419</S> and small<S>6996</S>, seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S>, in the court<S>2691</S> of the garden<S>1594</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s palace<S>1055</S>.


text:
There were hangings of white<S>2353</S> cloth<S>3768</S>, of green, and of blue<S>8504</S>, fastened<S>270</S> with cords<S>2256</S> of fine linen<S>948</S> and purple<S>713</S> to silver<S>3701</S> rings<S>1550</S> and pillars<S>5982</S> of marble<S>8336</S>: the couches<S>4296</S> were of gold<S>2091</S> and silver<S>3701</S>, upon a pavement<S>7531</S> of red<S>923</S>, and white<S>1858</S>, and yellow<S>8504</S>, and black<S>5508</S> marble<S>8336</S>.


text:
And they gave them drink<S>8248</S> in vessels<S>3627</S> of gold<S>2091</S> (the vessels<S>3627</S> being diverse<S>8138</S> one from another<S>3627</S>), and royal<S>4438</S> wine<S>3196</S> in abundance<S>7227</S>, according to the bounty<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the drinking<S>8360</S> was according to the law<S>1881</S>; none could compel<S>597</S>: for so the king<S>4428</S> had appointed<S>3245</S> to all the officers<S>7227</S> of his house<S>1004</S>, that they should do<S>6213</S> according to every man<S>376</S>'s pleasure<S>7522</S>.


text:
Also Vashti<S>2060</S> the queen<S>4436</S> made<S>6213</S> a feast<S>4960</S> for the women<S>802</S> in the royal<S>4438</S> house<S>1004</S> which belonged to king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> laid<S>7760</S> a tribute<S>4522</S> upon the land<S>776</S>, and upon the isles<S>339</S> of the sea<S>3220</S>.


text:
And all the acts<S>4639</S> of his power<S>8633</S> and of his might<S>1369</S>, and the full account<S>6575</S> of the greatness<S>1420</S> of Mordecai<S>4782</S>, whereunto the king<S>4428</S> advanced<S>1431</S> him<S>3789</S>, are they not written in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> of the kings<S>4428</S> of Media<S>4074</S> and Persia<S>6539</S>?


text:
For Mordecai<S>4782</S> the Jew<S>3064</S> was next<S>4932</S> unto king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, and great<S>1419</S> among the Jews<S>3064</S>, and accepted<S>7521</S> of the multitude<S>7230</S> of his brethren<S>251</S>, seeking<S>1875</S> the good<S>2896</S> of his people<S>5971</S>, and speaking<S>1696</S> peace<S>7965</S> to all his seed<S>2233</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S>, when the wrath<S>2534</S> of king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> was pacified<S>7918</S>, he remembered<S>2142</S> Vashti<S>2060</S>, and what she had done<S>6213</S>, and what was decreed against her<S>1504</S>.


text:
190<S>635</S> had not made known<S>5046</S> her people<S>5971</S> nor her kindred<S>4138</S>; for Mordecai<S>4782</S> had charged<S>6680</S> her that she should not make it known<S>5046</S>.


text:
And Mordecai<S>4782</S> walked<S>1980</S> every day<S>3117</S> before<S>6440</S> the court<S>2691</S> of the women<S>802</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, to know<S>3045</S> how Esther<S>635</S> did<S>7965</S>, and what would become of her<S>6213</S>.


text:
Now when the turn<S>8447</S> of every maiden<S>5291</S> was come<S>5060</S> to go<S>5060</S> in<S>935</S> to king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, after<S>7093</S> that it had been done to her according to the law<S>1881</S> for the women<S>802</S> twelve<S>8147</S> months<S>2320</S> (for so were the days<S>3117</S> of their purifications<S>4795</S> accomplished<S>4390</S>, to wit<S>8337</S>, six months<S>2320</S> with oil<S>8081</S> of myrrh<S>4753</S>, and six<S>8337</S> months<S>2320</S> with sweet odors<S>1314</S> and with the things for the purifying<S>8562</S> of the women<S>802</S>),


text:
then in this wise came<S>935</S> the maiden<S>5291</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>: whatsoever she desired<S>559</S> was given<S>5414</S> her to go<S>935</S> with her out of the house<S>1004</S> of the women<S>802</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>.


text:
In the evening<S>6153</S> she went<S>935</S>, and on the morrow<S>1242</S> she returned<S>7725</S> into the second<S>8145</S> house<S>1004</S> of the women<S>802</S>, to the custody<S>3027</S> of Shaashgaz<S>8190</S>, the king<S>4428</S>'s chamberlain<S>5631</S>, who kept<S>8104</S> the concubines<S>6370</S>: she came in<S>935</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> no more<S>4428</S>, except the king delighted<S>2654</S> in her<S>7121</S>, and she were called by name<S>8034</S>.


text:
Now when the turn<S>8447</S> of Esther<S>635</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Abihail<S>32</S> the uncle<S>1730</S> of Mordecai<S>4782</S>, who had taken<S>3947</S> her for his daughter<S>1323</S>, was come<S>5060</S> to go in<S>935</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, she required<S>1245</S> nothing<S>1697</S> but what Hegai<S>1896</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s chamberlain<S>5631</S>, the keeper<S>8104</S> of the women<S>802</S>, appointed<S>559</S>. And Esther<S>635</S> obtained<S>5375</S> favor<S>2580</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of all them that looked upon her<S>7200</S>.


text:
So Esther<S>635</S> was taken<S>3947</S> unto king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> into his house<S>1004</S> royal<S>4438</S> in the tenth<S>6224</S> month<S>2320</S>, which is the month<S>2320</S> Tebeth<S>2887</S>, in the seventh<S>7651</S> year<S>8141</S> of his reign<S>4438</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> loved<S>157</S> Esther<S>635</S> above all the women<S>802</S>, and she obtained<S>5375</S> favor<S>2580</S> and kindness<S>2580</S> in his sight<S>6440</S> more than all the virgins<S>1330</S>; so that he set<S>7760</S> the royal<S>4438</S> crown<S>3804</S> upon her head<S>7218</S>, and made her queen<S>4427</S> instead of Vashti<S>2060</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> made<S>6213</S> a great<S>1419</S> feast<S>4960</S> unto all his princes<S>8269</S> and his servants<S>5650</S>, even Esther<S>635</S>'s feast<S>4960</S>; and he made<S>6213</S> a release<S>2010</S> to the provinces<S>4082</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> gifts<S>4864</S>, according to the bounty<S>3027</S> of the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And when the virgins<S>1330</S> were gathered together<S>6908</S> the second time<S>8145</S>, then Mordecai<S>4782</S> was sitting<S>3427</S> in the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5288</S> that ministered<S>8334</S> unto him<S>2896</S>, Let there be fair young<S>5291</S> virgins<S>1330</S> sought<S>1245</S> for the king<S>4428</S>:


text:
190<S>635</S> had not yet made known<S>5046</S> her kindred<S>4138</S> nor her people<S>5971</S>; as Mordecai<S>4782</S> had charged<S>6680</S> her<S>635</S>: for Esther did<S>6213</S> the commandment<S>3982</S> of Mordecai<S>4782</S>, like as when she was brought up with him<S>545</S>.


text:
In those days<S>3117</S>, while Mordecai<S>4782</S> was sitting<S>3427</S> in the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S>, two<S>8147</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s chamberlains<S>5631</S>, Bigthan<S>904</S> and Teresh<S>8657</S>, of those that kept<S>8104</S> the threshold<S>5592</S>, were wroth<S>7107</S>, and sought<S>1245</S> to lay<S>7971</S> hands<S>3027</S> on the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>.


text:
And the thing<S>1697</S> became known<S>3045</S> to Mordecai<S>4782</S>, who showed<S>5046</S> it unto Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S>; and Esther<S>635</S> told<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> thereof in Mordecai<S>4782</S>'s name<S>8034</S>.


text:
And when inquisition<S>1245</S> was made of the matter<S>1697</S>, and it was found to be so<S>4672</S>, they were both<S>8147</S> hanged<S>8518</S> on a tree<S>6086</S>: and it was written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.

and let the king<S>4428</S> appoint<S>6485</S> officers<S>6496</S> in all the provinces<S>4082</S> of his kingdom<S>4438</S>, that they may gather together<S>6908</S> all the fair<S>2896</S> young<S>5291</S> virgins<S>1330</S> unto Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S>, to the house<S>1004</S> of the women<S>802</S>, unto the custody<S>3027</S> of Hegai<S>1896</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s chamberlain<S>5631</S>, keeper<S>8104</S> of the women<S>802</S>; and let their things for purification<S>8562</S> be given them<S>5414</S>;


text:
and let the maiden<S>5291</S> that pleaseth<S>3190</S> the king<S>4428</S> be queen<S>4427</S> instead of Vashti<S>2060</S>. And the thing<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3190</S> the king<S>4428</S>; and he did so<S>6213</S>.


text:
There was a certain<S>376</S> Jew<S>3064</S> in Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Mordecai<S>4782</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Jair<S>2971</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Shimei<S>8096</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Kish<S>7027</S>, a Benjamite<S>1145</S>,


text:
who had been carried away<S>1540</S> from Jerusalem<S>3389</S> with the captives<S>1473</S> that had been carried away<S>1540</S> with Jeconiah<S>3204</S> king<S>4428</S> of Judah<S>3063</S>, whom Nebuchadnezzar<S>5019</S> the king<S>4428</S> of Babylon<S>894</S> had carried away<S>1540</S>.


text:
And he brought up<S>539</S> Hadassah<S>1919</S>, that is<S>635</S>, Esther, his uncle<S>1730</S>'s daughter<S>1323</S>: for she had neither father<S>1</S> nor mother<S>517</S>, and the maiden<S>5291</S> was fair<S>3303</S> and beautiful<S>2896</S>; and when her father<S>1</S> and mother<S>517</S> were dead<S>4194</S>, Mordecai<S>4782</S> took<S>3947</S> her for his own daughter<S>1323</S>.


text:
So it came to pass<S>4428</S>, when the king's commandment<S>1697</S> and his decree<S>1881</S> was heard<S>8085</S>, and when many<S>7227</S> maidens<S>5291</S> were gathered together<S>6908</S> unto Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S>, to the custody<S>3027</S> of Hegai<S>1896</S>, that Esther<S>635</S> was taken<S>3947</S> into the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, to the custody<S>3027</S> of Hegai<S>1896</S>, keeper<S>8104</S> of the women<S>802</S>.


text:
And the maiden<S>5291</S> pleased<S>3190</S> him<S>5375</S>, and she obtained kindness<S>2617</S> of him<S>6440</S>; and he speedily<S>926</S> gave<S>5414</S> her her things for purification<S>8562</S>, with her portions<S>4490</S>, and the seven<S>7651</S> maidens<S>5291</S> who were meet<S>7200</S> to be given<S>5414</S> her out of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>: and he removed<S>8138</S> her and her maidens<S>5291</S> to the best<S>2896</S> place of the house<S>1004</S> of the women<S>802</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> these things<S>1697</S> did king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> promote<S>1431</S> Haman<S>2001</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hammedatha<S>4099</S> the Agagite<S>91</S>, and advanced<S>5375</S> him<S>7760</S>, and set his seat<S>3678</S> above all the princes that were with him<S>8269</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> took<S>5493</S> his ring<S>2885</S> from his hand<S>3027</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it unto Haman<S>2001</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hammedatha<S>4099</S> the Agagite<S>91</S>, the Jews<S>3064</S>' enemy<S>6887</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Haman<S>2001</S>, The silver<S>3701</S> is given<S>5414</S> to thee<S>5971</S>, the people also<S>6213</S>, to do with them as it seemeth<S>5869</S> good to thee<S>2896</S>.


text:
Then were the king<S>4428</S>'s scribes<S>5608</S> called<S>7121</S> in the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S>, on the thirteenth<S>7969</S> day<S>3117</S> thereof<S>3789</S>; and there was written according to all that Haman<S>2001</S> commanded<S>6680</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>'s satraps<S>323</S>, and to the governors<S>6346</S> that were over every province<S>4082</S>, and to the princes<S>8269</S> of every people<S>5971</S>, to every province<S>4082</S> according to the writing<S>3791</S> thereof<S>5971</S>, and to every people after their language<S>3956</S>; in the name<S>8034</S> of king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> was it written<S>3789</S>, and it was sealed<S>2856</S> with the king<S>4428</S>'s ring<S>2885</S>.


text:
And letters<S>5612</S> were sent<S>7971</S> by<S>3027</S> posts<S>7323</S> into all the king<S>4428</S>'s provinces<S>4082</S>, to destroy<S>8045</S>, to slay<S>8045</S>, and to cause to perish, all Jews<S>3064</S>, both young<S>5288</S> and old<S>2205</S>, little children<S>2945</S> and women<S>802</S>, in one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S>, even upon the thirteenth<S>7969</S> day<S>3117</S> of the twelfth<S>8147</S> month<S>2320</S>, which is the month<S>2320</S> Adar<S>143</S>, and to take the spoil<S>7998</S> of them for a prey<S>962</S>.


text:
A copy<S>6572</S> of the writing<S>3791</S>, that the decree<S>1881</S> should be given<S>5414</S> out in every province<S>4082</S>, was published<S>1540</S> unto all the peoples<S>5971</S>, that they should be ready<S>6264</S> against that day<S>3117</S>.


text:
The posts<S>7323</S> went forth<S>3318</S> in haste<S>1765</S> by the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>1697</S>, and the decree<S>1881</S> was given<S>5414</S> out in Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> and Haman<S>2001</S> sat down<S>3427</S> to drink<S>8354</S>; but the city<S>5892</S> of Shushan<S>7800</S> was perplexed<S>943</S>.


text:
And all the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, that were in the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S>, bowed<S>3766</S> down<S>7812</S>, and did reverence to Haman<S>2001</S>; for the king<S>4428</S> had so commanded<S>6680</S> concerning him<S>4782</S>. But Mordecai bowed<S>3766</S> not down<S>7812</S>, nor did him reverence.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, that were in the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S>, said<S>559</S> unto Mordecai<S>4782</S>, Why transgressest<S>5674</S> thou the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>4687</S>?


text:
Now it came to pass<S>559</S>, when they spake daily<S>3117</S> unto him<S>8085</S>, and he hearkened not unto them<S>5046</S>, that they told Haman<S>2001</S>, to see<S>7200</S> whether Mordecai<S>4782</S>'s matters<S>1697</S> would stand<S>5975</S>: for he had told<S>5046</S> them that he was a Jew<S>3064</S>.


text:
And when Haman<S>2001</S> saw<S>7200</S> that Mordecai<S>4782</S> bowed<S>3766</S> not down<S>7812</S>, nor did him reverence, then was Haman<S>2001</S> full<S>4390</S> of wrath<S>2534</S>.


text:
But he thought<S>5869</S> scorn<S>959</S> to lay<S>7971</S> hands<S>3027</S> on Mordecai<S>4782</S> alone<S>5046</S>; for they had made known to him the people<S>5971</S> of Mordecai<S>4782</S>: wherefore Haman<S>2001</S> sought<S>1245</S> to destroy<S>8045</S> all the Jews<S>3064</S> that were throughout the whole kingdom<S>4438</S> of Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, even the people<S>5971</S> of Mordecai<S>4782</S>.


text:
In the first<S>7223</S> month<S>2320</S>, which is the month<S>2320</S> Nisan<S>5212</S>, in the twelfth<S>8147</S> year<S>8141</S> of king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, they cast<S>5307</S> Pur<S>6332</S>, that is<S>1486</S>, the lot, before<S>6440</S> Haman<S>2001</S> from day<S>3117</S> to day<S>3117</S>, and from month<S>2320</S> to month<S>2320</S>, to the twelfth<S>8147</S> month<S>2320</S>, which is the month Adar<S>143</S>.


text:
And Haman<S>2001</S> said<S>559</S> unto king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, There is<S>3426</S> a certain<S>259</S> people<S>5971</S> scattered abroad<S>6340</S> and dispersed<S>6504</S> among the peoples<S>5971</S> in all the provinces<S>4082</S> of thy kingdom<S>4438</S>; and their laws<S>1881</S> are diverse<S>8138</S> from those of every people<S>5971</S>; neither keep<S>6213</S> they the king<S>4428</S>'s laws<S>1881</S>: therefore it is not for the king<S>4428</S>'s profit<S>7737</S> to suffer them<S>3240</S>.


text:
If it please<S>2895</S> the king<S>4428</S>, let it be written<S>3789</S> that they be destroyed<S>6</S>: and I will pay<S>8254</S> ten<S>6235</S> thousand<S>505</S> talents<S>3603</S> of silver<S>3701</S> into the hands<S>3027</S> of those that have the charge<S>6213</S> of the king<S>4399</S>'s business, to bring<S>935</S> it into the king<S>4428</S>'s treasuries<S>1595</S>.


text:
Now when Mordecai<S>4782</S> knew<S>3045</S> all that was done<S>6213</S>, Mordecai<S>4782</S> rent<S>7167</S> his clothes<S>899</S>, and put on<S>3847</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> with ashes<S>665</S>, and went out<S>3318</S> into the midst<S>8432</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and cried<S>2199</S> with a loud<S>1419</S> and a bitter<S>4751</S> cry<S>2201</S>;


text:
Then Esther<S>635</S> spake<S>559</S> unto Hathach<S>2047</S>, and gave him a message<S>6680</S> unto Mordecai saying<S>4782</S>:


text:
All the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5650</S>, and the people<S>5971</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s provinces<S>4082</S>, do know<S>3045</S>, that whosoever<S>376</S>, whether man or woman<S>802</S>, shall come<S>935</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> into the inner<S>6442</S> court<S>2691</S>, who is not called<S>7121</S>, there is one<S>259</S> law<S>1881</S> for him<S>4191</S>, that he be put to death, except<S>905</S> those to whom the king<S>4428</S> shall hold out<S>3447</S> the golden<S>2091</S> sceptre<S>8275</S>, that he may live<S>2421</S>: but I have not been called<S>7121</S> to come in<S>935</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> these thirty<S>7970</S> days<S>3117</S>.


text:
Then Mordecai<S>4782</S> bade<S>559</S> them return answer<S>7725</S> unto Esther<S>635</S>, Think<S>1819</S> not with thyself<S>5315</S> that thou shalt escape<S>4422</S> in the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, more than all the Jews<S>3064</S>.


text:
For if thou altogether<S>2790</S> holdest thy peace<S>2790</S> at this time<S>6256</S>, then will relief<S>7305</S> and deliverance<S>2020</S> arise<S>5975</S> to the Jews<S>3064</S> from another<S>312</S> place<S>4725</S>, but thou and thy father<S>1</S>'s house<S>1004</S> will perish<S>6</S>: and who knoweth<S>3045</S> whether thou art not come<S>5060</S> to the kingdom<S>4438</S> for such a time as this<S>6256</S>?


text:
Go<S>3212</S>, gather together<S>3664</S> all the Jews<S>3064</S> that are present<S>4672</S> in Shushan<S>7800</S>, and fast<S>6684</S> ye for me<S>398</S>, and neither eat nor drink<S>8354</S> three<S>7969</S> days<S>3117</S>, night<S>3915</S> or day<S>3117</S>: I also and my maidens<S>5291</S> will fast<S>6684</S> in like manner<S>3651</S>; and so will I go<S>935</S> in unto the king<S>4428</S>, which is not according to the law<S>1881</S>: and if I perish<S>6</S>, I perish<S>6</S>.


text:
So Mordecai<S>4782</S> went his way<S>5674</S>, and did<S>6213</S> according to all that Esther<S>635</S> had commanded him<S>6680</S>.


text:
and he came<S>935</S> even before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S>: for none might enter<S>935</S> within the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S> clothed<S>3830</S> with sackcloth<S>8242</S>.


text:
And in every province<S>4082</S>, whithersoever<S>4725</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>1697</S> and his decree<S>1881</S> came<S>5060</S>, there was great<S>1419</S> mourning<S>60</S> among the Jews<S>3064</S>, and fasting<S>6685</S>, and weeping<S>1065</S>, and wailing<S>4553</S>; and many<S>7227</S> lay<S>3331</S> in sackcloth<S>8242</S> and ashes<S>665</S>.


text:
And Esther<S>635</S>'s maidens<S>5291</S> and her chamberlains<S>5631</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> it her<S>4436</S>; and the queen was exceedingly<S>3966</S> grieved<S>2342</S>: and she sent<S>7971</S> raiment<S>899</S> to clothe<S>3847</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S>, and to take his sackcloth<S>8242</S> from off<S>5493</S> him<S>6901</S>; but he received it not.


text:
Then called<S>7121</S> Esther<S>635</S> for Hathach<S>2047</S>, one of the king<S>4428</S>'s chamberlains<S>5631</S>, whom he had appointed<S>5975</S> to attend<S>6440</S> upon her<S>6680</S>, and charged him to go to Mordecai<S>4782</S>, to know what this was<S>3045</S>, and why it was.


text:
So Hathach<S>2047</S> went forth<S>3318</S> to Mordecai<S>4782</S> unto the broad<S>7339</S> place of the city<S>5892</S>, which was before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S>.


text:
And Mordecai<S>4782</S> told<S>5046</S> him of all that had happened<S>7136</S> unto him<S>6575</S>, and the exact sum of the money<S>3701</S> that Haman<S>2001</S> had promised<S>559</S> to pay<S>8254</S> to the king<S>4428</S>'s treasuries<S>1595</S> for the Jews<S>3064</S>, to destroy them<S>6</S>.


text:
Also he gave<S>5414</S> him the copy<S>6572</S> of the writing<S>3791</S> of the decree<S>1881</S> that was given<S>5414</S> out in Shushan<S>7800</S> to destroy<S>8045</S> them<S>7200</S>, to show it unto Esther<S>635</S>, and to declare<S>5046</S> it unto her<S>6680</S>, and to charge her that she should go in<S>935</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, to make supplication<S>2603</S> unto him<S>1245</S>, and to make request before<S>6440</S> him<S>5971</S>, for her people.


text:
And Hathach<S>2047</S> came<S>935</S> and told<S>5046</S> Esther<S>635</S> the words<S>1697</S> of Mordecai<S>4782</S>.


text:
Now it came to pass on the third<S>7992</S> day<S>3117</S>, that Esther<S>635</S> put on<S>3847</S> her royal<S>4438</S> apparel<S>5975</S>, and stood in the inner<S>6442</S> court<S>2691</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, over against<S>5227</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>: and the king<S>4428</S> sat<S>3427</S> upon his royal<S>4438</S> throne<S>3678</S> in the royal<S>4438</S> house<S>1004</S>, over against<S>5227</S> the entrance<S>6607</S> of the house<S>1004</S>.


text:
Nevertheless Haman<S>2001</S> refrained<S>662</S> himself<S>935</S>, and went home<S>1004</S>; and he sent<S>7971</S> and fetched<S>935</S> his friends<S>157</S> and Zeresh<S>2238</S> his wife<S>802</S>.


text:
And Haman<S>2001</S> recounted<S>5608</S> unto them the glory<S>3519</S> of his riches<S>6239</S>, and the multitude<S>7230</S> of his children<S>1121</S>, and all the things wherein the king<S>4428</S> had promoted<S>1431</S> him<S>5375</S>, and how he had advanced him above the princes<S>8269</S> and servants<S>5650</S> of the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Haman<S>2001</S> said<S>559</S> moreover<S>635</S>, Yea, Esther the queen<S>4436</S> did let no man come in<S>935</S> with the king<S>4428</S> unto the banquet<S>4960</S> that she had prepared<S>6213</S> but myself<S>4279</S>; and to-morrow also am I invited<S>7121</S> by her together with the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Yet all this availeth<S>7737</S> me nothing<S>6256</S>, so long as I see<S>7200</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S> the Jew<S>3064</S> sitting<S>3427</S> at the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Zeresh<S>2238</S> his wife<S>802</S> and all his friends<S>157</S> unto him<S>6086</S>, Let a gallows be made<S>6213</S> fifty<S>2572</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>1364</S>, and in the morning<S>1242</S> speak<S>559</S> thou unto the king<S>4428</S> that Mordecai<S>4782</S> may be hanged<S>8518</S> thereon<S>935</S>: then go thou in merrily<S>8056</S> with the king<S>4428</S> unto the banquet<S>4960</S>. And the thing<S>1697</S> pleased<S>3190</S> Haman<S>2001</S>; and he caused<S>6213</S> the gallows<S>6086</S> to be made<S>6213</S>.

And it was so<S>4428</S>, when the king saw<S>7200</S> Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S> standing<S>5975</S> in the court<S>2691</S>, that she obtained<S>5375</S> favor<S>2580</S> in his sight<S>5869</S>; and the king<S>4428</S> held out<S>3447</S> to Esther<S>635</S> the golden<S>2091</S> sceptre<S>8275</S> that was in his hand<S>3027</S>. So Esther<S>635</S> drew near<S>7126</S>, and touched<S>5060</S> the top<S>7218</S> of the sceptre<S>8275</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> unto her<S>4436</S>, What wilt thou, queen Esther<S>635</S>? and what is thy request<S>1246</S>? it shall be given<S>5414</S> thee even to the half<S>2677</S> of the kingdom<S>4438</S>.


text:
And Esther<S>635</S> said<S>559</S>, If it seem good<S>2895</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, let the king<S>4428</S> and Haman<S>2001</S> come<S>935</S> this day<S>3117</S> unto the banquet<S>4960</S> that I have prepared for him<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Cause Haman<S>2001</S> to make haste<S>4116</S>, that it may be done<S>6213</S> as Esther<S>635</S> hath said<S>1697</S>. So the king<S>4428</S> and Haman<S>2001</S> came<S>935</S> to the banquet<S>4960</S> that Esther<S>635</S> had prepared<S>6213</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Esther<S>635</S> at the banquet<S>4960</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, What is thy petition<S>7596</S>? and it shall be granted<S>5414</S> thee<S>1246</S>: and what is thy request? even to the half<S>2677</S> of the kingdom<S>4438</S> it shall be performed<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then answered<S>6030</S> Esther<S>635</S>, and said<S>559</S>, My petition<S>7596</S> and my request is<S>1246</S>:


text:
if I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in the sight<S>5869</S> of the king<S>4428</S>, and if it please<S>2895</S> the king<S>4428</S> to grant<S>5414</S> my petition<S>7596</S>, and to perform<S>6213</S> my request<S>1246</S>, let the king<S>4428</S> and Haman<S>2001</S> come<S>935</S> to the banquet<S>4960</S> that I shall prepare<S>6213</S> for them<S>6213</S>, and I will do to-morrow<S>4279</S> as the king<S>4428</S> hath said<S>1697</S>.


text:
Then went<S>3318</S> Haman<S>2001</S> forth<S>3318</S> that day<S>3117</S> joyful<S>8056</S> and glad<S>2896</S> of heart<S>3820</S>: but when Haman<S>2001</S> saw<S>7200</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S> in the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S>, that he stood not up<S>6965</S> nor moved<S>2111</S> for him<S>2001</S>, he was filled<S>4390</S> with wrath<S>2534</S> against Mordecai<S>4782</S>.


text:
On that night<S>3915</S> could not<S>5074</S> the king<S>4428</S> sleep<S>8142</S>; and he commanded<S>559</S> to bring<S>935</S> the book<S>5612</S> of records<S>2146</S> of the chronicles<S>1697</S>, and they were read<S>7121</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> to Haman<S>2001</S>, Make haste<S>4116</S>, and take<S>3947</S> the apparel<S>3830</S> and the horse<S>5483</S>, as thou hast said<S>1696</S>, and do<S>6213</S> even so to Mordecai<S>4782</S> the Jew<S>3064</S>, that sitteth<S>3427</S> at the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S>: let nothing<S>1697</S> fail<S>5307</S> of all that thou hast spoken<S>1696</S>.


text:
Then took<S>3947</S> Haman<S>2001</S> the apparel<S>3830</S> and the horse<S>5483</S>, and arrayed<S>3847</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S>, and caused him to ride<S>7392</S> through the street<S>7339</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and proclaimed<S>7121</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>6213</S>, Thus shall it be done unto the man<S>376</S> whom the king<S>4428</S> delighteth<S>2654</S> to honor<S>3366</S>.


text:
And Mordecai<S>4782</S> came again<S>7725</S> to the king<S>4428</S>'s gate<S>8179</S>. But Haman<S>2001</S> hasted<S>1765</S> to his house<S>1004</S>, mourning<S>57</S> and having his head<S>7218</S> covered<S>2645</S>.


text:
And Haman<S>2001</S> recounted<S>5608</S> unto Zeresh<S>2238</S> his wife<S>802</S> and all his friends<S>157</S> everything that had befallen<S>7136</S> him<S>559</S>. Then said his wise men<S>2450</S> and Zeresh<S>2238</S> his wife<S>802</S> unto him<S>4782</S>, If Mordecai, before<S>6440</S> whom thou hast begun<S>2490</S> to fall<S>5307</S>, be of the seed<S>2233</S> of the Jews<S>3064</S>, thou shalt not prevail<S>3201</S> against him<S>5307</S>, but shalt surely fall<S>5307</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
While they were yet talking<S>1696</S> with him<S>5060</S>, came the king<S>4428</S>'s chamberlains<S>5631</S>, and hasted<S>926</S> to bring<S>935</S> Haman<S>2001</S> unto the banquet<S>4960</S> that Esther<S>635</S> had prepared<S>6213</S>.


text:
And it was found<S>4672</S> written<S>3789</S>, that Mordecai<S>4782</S> had told<S>5046</S> of Bigthana<S>904</S> and Teresh<S>8657</S>, two<S>8147</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s chamberlains<S>5631</S>, of those that kept<S>8104</S> the threshold<S>5592</S>, who had sought<S>1245</S> to lay<S>7971</S> hands<S>3027</S> on the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, What honor<S>3366</S> and dignity<S>1420</S> hath been bestowed<S>6213</S> on Mordecai<S>4782</S> for this<S>559</S>? Then said the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5288</S> that ministered<S>8334</S> unto him<S>1697</S>, There is nothing done for him<S>6213</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Who is in the court<S>2691</S>? Now Haman<S>2001</S> was come<S>935</S> into the outward<S>2435</S> court<S>2691</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, to speak<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S> to hang<S>8518</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S> on the gallows<S>6086</S> that he had prepared for him<S>3559</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S>'s servants<S>5288</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>2001</S>, Behold, Haman standeth<S>5975</S> in the court<S>2691</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Let him come in<S>935</S>.


text:
So Haman<S>2001</S> came in<S>935</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto him<S>6213</S>, What shall be done unto the man<S>376</S> whom the king<S>4428</S> delighteth<S>2654</S> to honor<S>3366</S>? Now Haman<S>2001</S> said<S>559</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>, To whom would the king<S>4428</S> delight<S>2654</S> to do<S>6213</S> honor<S>3366</S> more than to myself<S>3148</S>?


text:
And Haman<S>2001</S> said<S>559</S> unto the king<S>4428</S>, For the man<S>376</S> whom the king<S>4428</S> delighteth<S>2654</S> to honor<S>3366</S>,


text:
let royal<S>4438</S> apparel<S>3830</S> be brought<S>935</S> which the king<S>4428</S> useth to wear<S>3847</S>, and the horse<S>5483</S> that the king<S>4428</S> rideth<S>7392</S> upon<S>7218</S>, and on the head of which a crown<S>3804</S> royal<S>4438</S> is set<S>5414</S>:


text:
and let the apparel<S>3830</S> and the horse<S>5483</S> be delivered<S>5414</S> to the hand<S>3027</S> of one<S>376</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s most noble<S>6579</S> princes<S>8269</S>, that they may array<S>3847</S> the man<S>376</S> therewith whom the king<S>4428</S> delighteth<S>2654</S> to honor<S>3366</S>, and cause him to ride<S>7392</S> on horseback<S>5483</S> through the street<S>7339</S> of the city<S>5892</S>, and proclaim<S>7121</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>6213</S>, Thus shall it be done to the man<S>376</S> whom the king<S>4428</S> delighteth<S>2654</S> to honor<S>3366</S>.


text:
So the king<S>4428</S> and Haman<S>2001</S> came<S>935</S> to banquet<S>8354</S> with Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S>.


text:
So they hanged<S>8518</S> Haman<S>2001</S> on the gallows<S>6086</S> that he had prepared<S>3559</S> for Mordecai<S>4782</S>. Then was the king<S>4428</S>'s wrath<S>2534</S> pacified<S>7918</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> again unto Esther<S>635</S> on the second<S>8145</S> day<S>3117</S> at the banquet<S>4960</S> of wine<S>3196</S>, What is thy petition<S>7596</S>, queen<S>4436</S> Esther<S>635</S>? and it shall be granted<S>5414</S> thee<S>1246</S>: and what is thy request? even to the half<S>2677</S> of the kingdom<S>4438</S> it shall be performed<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, If I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in thy sight<S>5869</S>, O king<S>4428</S>, and if it please<S>2895</S> the king<S>4428</S>, let my life<S>5315</S> be given<S>5414</S> me at my petition<S>7596</S>, and my people<S>5971</S> at my request<S>1246</S>:


text:
for we are sold<S>4376</S>, I and my people<S>5971</S>, to be destroyed<S>8045</S>, to be slain<S>2026</S>, and to perish<S>6</S>. But if<S>432</S> we had been sold<S>4376</S> for bondmen<S>5650</S> and bondwomen<S>8198</S>, I had held my peace<S>2790</S>, although the adversary<S>6862</S> could not have compensated<S>7737</S> for the king<S>4428</S>'s damage<S>5143</S>.


text:
Then spake<S>559</S> the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> and said<S>559</S> unto Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S>, Who is he<S>4390</S>, and where is he, that durst presume in his heart<S>3820</S> to do so<S>6213</S>?


text:
And Esther<S>635</S> said<S>559</S>, An adversary<S>376</S> and an enemy<S>341</S>, even this wicked<S>7451</S> Haman<S>2001</S>. Then Haman<S>2001</S> was afraid<S>1204</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S> and the queen<S>4436</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> arose<S>6965</S> in his wrath<S>2534</S> from the banquet<S>4960</S> of wine<S>3196</S> and went into the palace<S>1055</S> garden<S>1594</S>: and Haman<S>2001</S> stood up<S>5975</S> to make request<S>1245</S> for his life<S>5315</S> to Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S>; for he saw<S>7200</S> that there was evil<S>7451</S> determined<S>3615</S> against him by the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> returned<S>7725</S> out of the palace<S>1055</S> garden<S>1594</S> into the place<S>1004</S> of the banquet<S>4960</S> of wine<S>3196</S>; and Haman<S>2001</S> was fallen<S>5307</S> upon the couch<S>4296</S> whereon Esther<S>635</S> was<S>559</S>. Then said the king<S>4428</S>, Will he even force<S>3533</S> the queen<S>4436</S> before me in the house<S>1004</S>? As the word<S>1697</S> went out<S>3318</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s mouth<S>6310</S>, they covered<S>2645</S> Haman<S>2001</S>'s face<S>6440</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Harbonah<S>2726</S>, one<S>259</S> of the chamberlains<S>5631</S> that were before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>, Behold also<S>6086</S>, the gallows fifty<S>2572</S> cubits<S>520</S> high<S>1364</S>, which Haman<S>2001</S> hath made<S>6213</S> for Mordecai<S>4782</S>, who spake<S>1696</S> good<S>2896</S> for the king<S>4428</S>, standeth<S>5975</S> in the house<S>1004</S> of Haman<S>2001</S>. And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S>, Hang him thereon<S>8518</S>.


text:
On that day<S>3117</S> did the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> give<S>5414</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Haman<S>2001</S> the Jews<S>3064</S>' enemy<S>6887</S> unto Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S>. And Mordecai<S>4782</S> came<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>; for Esther<S>635</S> had told what he was unto her<S>5046</S>.


text:
And he wrote<S>3789</S> the name<S>8034</S> of king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, and sealed<S>2856</S> it with the king<S>4428</S>'s ring<S>2885</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> letters<S>5612</S> by<S>3027</S> post<S>7323</S> on horseback<S>5483</S>, riding<S>7392</S> on swift steeds<S>7409</S> that were used in the king<S>327</S>'s service, bred<S>1121</S> of the stud<S>7424</S>:


text:
wherein the king<S>4428</S> granted<S>5414</S> the Jews<S>3064</S> that were in every city<S>5892</S> to gather themselves together<S>6950</S>, and to stand<S>5975</S> for their life<S>5315</S>, to destroy<S>8045</S>, to slay<S>2026</S>, and to cause to perish<S>6</S>, all the power<S>2428</S> of the people<S>5971</S> and province<S>4082</S> that would assault<S>6696</S> them<S>2945</S>, their little ones and women<S>802</S>, and to take the spoil<S>7998</S> of them for a prey<S>962</S>,


text:
upon one<S>259</S> day<S>3117</S> in all the provinces<S>4082</S> of king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, namely<S>7969</S>, upon the thirteenth day of the twelfth<S>8147</S> month<S>2320</S>, which is the month<S>2320</S> Adar<S>143</S>.


text:
A copy<S>6572</S> of the writing<S>3791</S>, that the decree<S>1881</S> should be given<S>5414</S> out in every province<S>4082</S>, was published<S>1540</S> unto all the peoples<S>5971</S>, and that the Jews<S>3064</S> should be ready<S>6264</S> against that day<S>3117</S> to avenge<S>5358</S> themselves on their enemies<S>341</S>.


text:
So the posts<S>7323</S> that rode<S>7392</S> upon swift steeds<S>7409</S> that were used in the king<S>4428</S>'s service went out<S>3318</S>, being hastened<S>926</S> and pressed on<S>1765</S> by the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>1697</S>; and the decree<S>1881</S> was given<S>5414</S> out in Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S>.


text:
And Mordecai<S>4782</S> went forth<S>3318</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of the king<S>4428</S> in royal<S>4438</S> apparel<S>3830</S> of blue<S>8504</S> and white<S>2353</S>, and with a great<S>1419</S> crown<S>5850</S> of gold<S>2091</S>, and with a robe<S>8509</S> of fine linen<S>948</S> and purple<S>713</S>: and the city<S>5892</S> of Shushan<S>7800</S> shouted<S>6670</S> and was glad<S>8056</S>.


text:
The Jews<S>3064</S> had light<S>219</S> and gladness<S>8057</S>, and joy<S>8342</S> and honor<S>3366</S>.


text:
And in every province<S>4082</S>, and in every city<S>5892</S>, whithersoever<S>4725</S> the king<S>4428</S>'s commandment<S>1697</S> and his decree<S>1881</S> came<S>5060</S>, the Jews<S>3064</S> had gladness<S>8342</S> and joy<S>8057</S>, a feast<S>4960</S> and a good<S>2896</S> day<S>3117</S>. And many<S>7227</S> from among the peoples<S>5971</S> of the land<S>776</S> became Jews<S>3054</S>; for the fear<S>6343</S> of the Jews<S>3064</S> was fallen upon them<S>5307</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> took off<S>5493</S> his ring<S>2885</S>, which he had taken<S>5674</S> from Haman<S>2001</S>, and gave<S>5414</S> it unto Mordecai<S>4782</S>. And Esther<S>635</S> set<S>7760</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S> over the house<S>1004</S> of Haman<S>2001</S>.


text:
And Esther<S>635</S> spake<S>1696</S> yet again<S>3254</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and fell down<S>5307</S> at<S>6440</S> his feet<S>7272</S>, and besought<S>2603</S> him with tears<S>1058</S> to put away<S>5674</S> the mischief<S>7451</S> of Haman<S>2001</S> the Agagite<S>91</S>, and his device<S>4284</S> that he had devised<S>2803</S> against the Jews<S>3064</S>.


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> held out<S>3447</S> to Esther<S>635</S> the golden<S>2091</S> sceptre<S>8275</S>. So Esther<S>635</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.

And she said<S>559</S>, If it please<S>2896</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and if I have found<S>4672</S> favor<S>2580</S> in his sight<S>6440</S>, and the thing<S>1697</S> seem right<S>3787</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>, and I be pleasing<S>2896</S> in his eyes<S>5869</S>, let it be written<S>3789</S> to reverse<S>7725</S> the letters<S>5612</S> devised<S>4284</S> by Haman<S>2001</S>, the son<S>1121</S> of Hammedatha<S>4099</S> the Agagite<S>91</S>, which he wrote<S>3789</S> to destroy<S>6</S> the Jews<S>3064</S> that are in all the king<S>4428</S>'s provinces<S>4082</S>:


text:
for how<S>349</S> can I endure<S>3201</S> to see<S>7200</S> the evil<S>7451</S> that shall come<S>4672</S> unto my people<S>5971</S>? or how<S>349</S> can I endure<S>3201</S> to see<S>7200</S> the destruction<S>13</S> of my kindred<S>4138</S>?


text:
Then the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S> said<S>559</S> unto Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S> and to Mordecai<S>4782</S> the Jew<S>3064</S>, Behold<S>5414</S>, I have given Esther<S>635</S> the house<S>1004</S> of Haman<S>2001</S>, and him they have hanged<S>8518</S> upon the gallows<S>6086</S>, because he laid<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S> upon the Jews<S>3064</S>.


text:
Write<S>3789</S> ye also to the Jews<S>3064</S>, as it pleaseth<S>2896</S> you<S>5869</S>, in the king<S>4428</S>'s name<S>8034</S>, and seal<S>2856</S> it with the king<S>4428</S>'s ring<S>2885</S>; for the writing<S>3791</S> which is written<S>3789</S> in the king<S>4428</S>'s name<S>8034</S>, and sealed<S>2856</S> with the king<S>4428</S>'s ring<S>2885</S>, may no man reverse<S>7725</S>.


text:
Then were the king<S>4428</S>'s scribes<S>5608</S> called<S>7121</S> at that time<S>6256</S>, in the third<S>7992</S> month<S>2320</S> Sivan<S>5510</S>, on the three<S>7969</S> and twentieth<S>6242</S> day thereof<S>3789</S>; and it was written according to all that Mordecai<S>4782</S> commanded<S>6680</S> unto the Jews<S>3064</S>, and to the satraps<S>323</S>, and the governors<S>6346</S> and princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S> which are from India<S>1912</S> unto Ethiopia<S>3568</S>, a hundred<S>3967</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and seven<S>7651</S> provinces<S>4082</S>, unto every province<S>4082</S> according to the writing<S>3791</S> thereof<S>5971</S>, and unto every people after their language<S>3956</S>, and to the Jews<S>3064</S> according to their writing<S>3791</S>, and according to their language<S>3956</S>.


text:
Now in the twelfth<S>8147</S> month<S>2320</S>, which is the month<S>2320</S> Adar<S>143</S>, on the thirteenth<S>7969</S> day<S>3117</S> of the same<S>4428</S>, when the king's commandment<S>1697</S> and his decree<S>1881</S> drew near<S>5060</S> to be put in execution<S>6213</S>, on the day<S>3117</S> that the enemies<S>341</S> of the Jews<S>3064</S> hoped<S>7663</S> to have rule<S>7980</S> over them<S>2015</S>, (whereas it was turned to the contrary<S>3064</S>, that the Jews had rule<S>7980</S> over them that hated them<S>8130</S>,)


text:
the ten<S>6235</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Haman<S>2001</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hammedatha<S>4099</S>, the Jew<S>3064</S>'s enemy<S>6887</S>, slew<S>2026</S> they<S>961</S>; but on the spoil they laid<S>7971</S> not their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
On that day<S>3117</S> the number<S>4557</S> of those that were slain<S>2026</S> in Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S> was brought<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> said<S>559</S> unto Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S>, The Jews<S>3064</S> have slain<S>2026</S> and destroyed<S>6</S> five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> in Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S>, and the ten<S>6235</S> sons<S>1121</S> of Haman<S>2001</S>; what then have they done<S>6213</S> in the rest<S>7605</S> of the king<S>4428</S>'s provinces<S>4082</S>! Now what is thy petition<S>7596</S>? and it shall be granted<S>5414</S> thee<S>1246</S>: or what is thy request further<S>5750</S>? and it shall be done<S>6213</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> Esther<S>635</S>, If it please<S>2896</S> the king<S>4428</S>, let it be granted<S>5414</S> to the Jews<S>3064</S> that are in Shushan<S>7800</S> to do<S>6213</S> to-morrow<S>4279</S> also according unto this day<S>3117</S>'s decree<S>1881</S>, and let Haman<S>2001</S>'s ten<S>6235</S> sons<S>1121</S> be hanged<S>8518</S> upon the gallows<S>6086</S>.


text:
And the king<S>4428</S> commanded<S>559</S> it so to be done<S>6213</S>: and a decree<S>1881</S> was given<S>5414</S> out in Shushan<S>7800</S>; and they hanged<S>8518</S> Haman<S>2001</S>'s ten<S>6235</S> sons<S>1121</S>.


text:
And the Jews<S>3064</S> that were in Shushan<S>7800</S> gathered themselves together<S>6950</S> on the fourteenth<S>702</S> day<S>3117</S> also of the month<S>2320</S> Adar<S>143</S>, and slew<S>2026</S> three<S>7969</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S> in Shushan<S>7800</S>; but on the spoil<S>961</S> they laid<S>7971</S> not their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
And the other<S>7605</S> Jews<S>3064</S> that were in the king<S>4428</S>'s provinces<S>4082</S> gathered themselves together<S>6950</S>, and stood<S>5975</S> for their lives<S>5315</S>, and had rest<S>5118</S> from their enemies<S>341</S>, and slew<S>2026</S> of them that hated<S>8130</S> them seventy<S>7657</S> and five<S>2568</S> thousand<S>505</S>; but on the spoil<S>961</S> they laid<S>7971</S> not their hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
This was done on the thirteenth<S>7969</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month<S>2320</S> Adar<S>143</S>; and on the fourteenth<S>702</S> day of the same they rested<S>5118</S>, and made<S>6213</S> it a day<S>3117</S> of feasting<S>4960</S> and gladness<S>8057</S>.


text:
But the Jews<S>3064</S> that were in Shushan<S>7800</S> assembled together<S>6950</S> on the thirteenth<S>7969</S> day thereof<S>702</S>, and on the fourteenth thereof<S>2568</S>; and on the fifteenth day of the same they rested<S>5118</S>, and made<S>6213</S> it a day<S>3117</S> of feasting<S>4960</S> and gladness<S>8057</S>.


text:
Therefore do the Jews<S>3064</S> of the villages<S>6521</S>, that dwell<S>3427</S> in the unwalled<S>6519</S> towns<S>5892</S>, make<S>6213</S> the fourteenth<S>702</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month<S>2320</S> Adar<S>143</S> a day of gladness<S>8057</S> and feasting<S>4960</S>, and a good<S>2896</S> day<S>3117</S>, and of sending<S>4916</S> portions<S>4490</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>.


text:
the Jews<S>3064</S> gathered themselves together<S>6950</S> in their cities<S>5892</S> throughout all the provinces<S>4082</S> of the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, to lay<S>7971</S> hand<S>3027</S> on such as sought<S>1245</S> their hurt<S>7451</S>: and no man<S>376</S> could withstand<S>5975</S> them<S>6440</S>; for the fear<S>6343</S> of them was fallen<S>5307</S> upon all the peoples<S>5971</S>.


text:
And Mordecai<S>4782</S> wrote<S>3789</S> these things<S>1697</S>, and sent<S>7971</S> letters<S>5612</S> unto all the Jews<S>3064</S> that were in all the provinces<S>4082</S> of the king<S>4428</S> Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, both nigh<S>7138</S> and far<S>7350</S>,


text:
to enjoin<S>6965</S> them that they should keep<S>6213</S> the fourteenth<S>702</S> day<S>3117</S> of the month<S>2320</S> Adar<S>143</S>, and the fifteenth<S>2568</S> day<S>3117</S> of the same<S>8141</S>, yearly,


text:
as the days<S>3117</S> wherein the Jews<S>3064</S> had rest<S>5117</S> from their enemies<S>341</S>, and the month<S>2320</S> which was turned<S>2015</S> unto them from sorrow<S>3015</S> to gladness<S>8057</S>, and from mourning<S>60</S> into a good<S>2896</S> day<S>3117</S>; that they should make<S>6213</S> them days<S>3117</S> of feasting<S>4960</S> and gladness<S>8057</S>, and of sending<S>4916</S> portions<S>4490</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>7453</S>, and gifts<S>4979</S> to the poor<S>34</S>.


text:
And the Jews<S>3064</S> undertook<S>6901</S> to do<S>6213</S> as they had begun<S>2490</S>, and as Mordecai<S>4782</S> had written unto them<S>3789</S>;


text:
because Haman<S>2001</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Hammedatha<S>4099</S>, the Agagite<S>91</S>, the enemy<S>6887</S> of all the Jews<S>3064</S>, had plotted<S>2803</S> against the Jews<S>3064</S> to destroy<S>6</S> them<S>5307</S>, and had cast Pur<S>6332</S>, that is the lot<S>1486</S>, to consume<S>2000</S> them<S>6</S>, and to destroy them;


text:
but when the matter came<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> the king<S>4428</S>, he commanded<S>559</S> by letters<S>5612</S> that his wicked<S>7451</S> device<S>4284</S>, which he had devised<S>2803</S> against the Jews<S>3064</S>, should return<S>7725</S> upon his own head<S>7218</S>, and that he and his sons<S>1121</S> should be hanged<S>8518</S> on the gallows<S>6086</S>.


text:
Wherefore they called<S>7121</S> these days<S>3117</S> Purim<S>6332</S>, after the name<S>8034</S> of Pur<S>6332</S>. Therefore because of all the words<S>1697</S> of this letter<S>107</S>, and of that which they had seen<S>7200</S> concerning this matter<S>3602</S>, and that which had come unto them<S>5060</S>,


text:
the Jews<S>3064</S> ordained<S>6965</S>, and took<S>6901</S> upon them<S>2233</S>, and upon their seed, and upon all such as joined<S>3867</S> themselves unto them<S>5674</S>, so that it should not fail, that they would keep<S>6213</S> these two<S>8147</S> days<S>3117</S> according to the writing<S>3791</S> thereof<S>2165</S>, and according to the appointed time thereof<S>8141</S>, every year;


text:
and that these days<S>3117</S> should be remembered<S>2142</S> and kept<S>6213</S> throughout<S>1755</S> every generation<S>1755</S>, every family<S>4940</S>, every province<S>4082</S>, and every city<S>5892</S>; and that these days<S>3117</S> of Purim<S>6332</S> should not fail<S>5674</S> from among<S>8432</S> the Jews<S>3064</S>, nor the remembrance<S>2143</S> of them perish<S>5486</S> from their seed<S>2233</S>.


text:
Then Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S>, the daughter<S>1323</S> of Abihail<S>32</S>, and Mordecai<S>4782</S> the Jew<S>3064</S>, wrote<S>3789</S> with all authority<S>8633</S> to confirm<S>6965</S> this second<S>8145</S> letter<S>107</S> of Purim<S>6332</S>.


text:
And all the princes<S>8269</S> of the provinces<S>4082</S>, and the satraps<S>323</S>, and the governors<S>6346</S>, and they<S>6213</S> that did the king<S>4428</S>'s business<S>5375</S>, helped the Jews<S>3064</S>; because the fear<S>6343</S> of Mordecai<S>4782</S> was fallen upon them<S>5307</S>.


text:
And he sent<S>7971</S> letters<S>5612</S> unto all the Jews<S>3064</S>, to the hundred<S>3967</S> twenty<S>6242</S> and seven<S>7651</S> provinces<S>4082</S> of the kingdom<S>4438</S> of Ahasuerus<S>325</S>, with words<S>1697</S> of peace<S>7965</S> and truth<S>571</S>,


text:
to confirm<S>6965</S> these days<S>3117</S> of Purim<S>6332</S> in their appointed times<S>2165</S>, according as Mordecai<S>4782</S> the Jew<S>3064</S> and Esther<S>635</S> the queen<S>4436</S> had enjoined<S>6965</S> them<S>6965</S>, and as they had ordained for themselves<S>5315</S> and for their seed<S>2233</S>, in the matter<S>1697</S> of the fastings<S>6685</S> and their cry<S>2201</S>.


text:
And the commandment<S>3982</S> of Esther<S>635</S> confirmed<S>6965</S> these matters<S>1697</S> of Purim<S>6332</S>; and it was written<S>3789</S> in the book<S>5612</S>.


text:
For Mordecai<S>4782</S> was great<S>1419</S> in the king<S>4428</S>'s house<S>1004</S>, and his fame<S>8089</S> went forth<S>1980</S> throughout all the provinces<S>4082</S>; for the man<S>376</S> Mordecai<S>4782</S> waxed<S>1980</S> greater and greater<S>1419</S>.


text:
And the Jews<S>3064</S> smote<S>5221</S> all their enemies<S>341</S> with the stroke<S>4347</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>, and with slaughter<S>2027</S> and destruction<S>12</S>, and did<S>6213</S> what they would<S>7522</S> unto them that hated them<S>8130</S>.


text:
And in Shushan<S>7800</S> the palace<S>1002</S> the Jews<S>3064</S> slew<S>2026</S> and destroyed<S>6</S> five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S> men<S>376</S>.


text:
There was a man<S>376</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Uz<S>5780</S>, whose name<S>8034</S> was Job<S>347</S>; and that man<S>376</S> was perfect<S>8535</S> and upright<S>3477</S>, and one that feared<S>3373</S> God<S>430</S>, and turned<S>5493</S> away from evil<S>7451</S>.


text:
Hast not thou made a hedge<S>7753</S> about him<S>1157</S>, and about his house<S>1004</S>, and about all that he hath<S>5439</S>, on every side? thou hast blessed<S>1288</S> the work<S>4639</S> of his hands<S>3027</S>, and his substance<S>4735</S> is increased<S>6555</S> in the land<S>776</S>.


text:
But<S>199</S> put forth<S>7971</S> thy hand<S>3027</S> now<S>5060</S>, and touch all that he hath<S>1288</S>, and he will renounce thee to thy face<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Satan<S>7854</S>, Behold<S>3027</S>, all that he hath is in thy power; only upon himself put not forth<S>7971</S> thy hand<S>3027</S>. So Satan<S>7854</S> went forth<S>7971</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
And it fell on a day<S>3117</S> when his sons<S>1121</S> and his daughters<S>1323</S> were eating<S>398</S> and drinking<S>8354</S> wine<S>3196</S> in their eldest<S>1060</S> brother<S>251</S>'s house<S>1004</S>,


text:
that there came<S>935</S> a messenger<S>4397</S> unto Job<S>347</S>, and said<S>559</S>, The oxen<S>1241</S> were plowing<S>2790</S>, and the asses<S>860</S> feeding<S>7462</S> beside them<S>3027</S>;


text:
and the Sabeans<S>7614</S> fell<S>5307</S> upon them<S>3947</S>, and took them away: yea<S>5221</S>, they have slain the servants<S>5288</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>; and I only am escaped<S>4422</S> alone to tell thee<S>5046</S>.


text:
While he was yet speaking<S>1696</S>, there came<S>935</S> also another<S>559</S>, and said, The fire<S>784</S> of God<S>430</S> is fallen<S>5307</S> from heaven<S>8064</S>, and hath burned up<S>1197</S> the sheep<S>6629</S> and the<S>5288</S>, servants, and consumed<S>398</S> them<S>4422</S>; and I only am escaped alone to tell thee<S>5046</S>.


text:
While he was yet speaking<S>1696</S>, there came<S>935</S> also another<S>559</S>, and said, The Chaldeans<S>3778</S> made<S>7760</S> three<S>7969</S> bands<S>7218</S>, and fell<S>6584</S> upon the camels<S>1581</S>, and have taken them away<S>3947</S>, yea<S>5221</S>, and slain the servants<S>5288</S> with the edge<S>6310</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>; and I only am escaped<S>4422</S> alone to tell thee<S>5046</S>.


text:
While he was yet speaking<S>1696</S>, there came<S>935</S> also another<S>559</S>, and said, Thy sons<S>1121</S> and thy daughters<S>1323</S> were eating<S>398</S> and drinking<S>8354</S> wine<S>3196</S> in their eldest<S>1060</S> brother<S>251</S>'s house<S>1004</S>;


text:
and<S>935</S>, behold, there came a great<S>1419</S> wind from<S>5676</S> the wilderness<S>4057</S>, and smote<S>5060</S> the four<S>702</S> corners<S>6438</S> of the house<S>1004</S>, and it fell<S>5307</S> upon the young men<S>5288</S>, and they are dead<S>4191</S>; and I only am escaped<S>4422</S> alone to tell thee<S>5046</S>.


text:
And there were born<S>3205</S> unto him seven<S>7651</S> sons<S>1121</S> and three<S>7969</S> daughters<S>1323</S>.


text:
Then Job<S>347</S> arose<S>6965</S>, and rent<S>7167</S> his robe<S>4598</S>, and shaved<S>1494</S> his head<S>7218</S>, and fell down<S>5307</S> upon the ground<S>776</S>, and worshipped<S>7812</S>;

and he said<S>559</S>, Naked<S>6174</S> came I out<S>3318</S> of my mother<S>517</S>'s womb<S>990</S>, and naked<S>6174</S> shall I return<S>7725</S> thither<S>3068</S>: Jehovah gave<S>5414</S>, and Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath taken away<S>3947</S>; blessed<S>1288</S> be the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
In all this Job<S>347</S> sinned<S>2398</S> not<S>5414</S>, nor charged God<S>430</S> foolishly<S>8604</S>.


text:
His substance<S>4735</S> also was seven<S>7651</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>, and three<S>7969</S> thousand<S>505</S> camels<S>1581</S>, and five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S> yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and five<S>2568</S> hundred<S>3967</S> she-asses<S>860</S>, and a very<S>3966</S> great<S>7227</S> household<S>5657</S>; so that this man<S>376</S> was the greatest<S>1419</S> of all the children<S>1121</S> of the east<S>6924</S>.


text:
And his sons<S>1121</S> went<S>1980</S> and held a feast<S>4960</S> in the house of each<S>376</S> one<S>376</S> upon his day<S>3117</S>; and they sent<S>7971</S> and called<S>7121</S> for their three<S>7969</S> sisters<S>269</S> to eat<S>398</S> and to drink with them<S>8354</S>.


text:
And it was so<S>3117</S>, when the days of their feasting<S>4960</S> were gone about<S>5362</S>, that Job<S>347</S> sent<S>7971</S> and sanctified<S>6942</S> them<S>7925</S>, and rose up early in the morning<S>1242</S>, and offered<S>5927</S> burnt-offerings<S>5930</S> according to the number<S>4557</S> of them all<S>347</S>: for Job said<S>559</S>, It may be<S>194</S> that my sons<S>1121</S> have sinned<S>2398</S>, and renounced<S>1288</S> God<S>430</S> in their hearts<S>3824</S>. Thus did<S>6213</S> Job<S>347</S> continually<S>3117</S>.


text:
Now it came to pass on the day<S>3117</S> when the sons<S>1121</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>935</S> to present<S>3320</S> themselves before Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that Satan<S>7854</S> also came<S>935</S> among them<S>8432</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Satan<S>7854</S>, Whence<S>370</S> comest<S>935</S> thou<S>7854</S>? Then Satan answered<S>6030</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>6030</S>, From going to and fro<S>7751</S> in the earth<S>776</S>, and from walking up and down in it<S>1980</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Satan<S>7854</S>, Hast thou considered<S>7760</S> my servant<S>5650</S> Job<S>347</S>? for there is none like him in the earth<S>776</S>, a perfect<S>8535</S> and an upright<S>3477</S> man<S>376</S>, one<S>376</S> that feareth<S>3373</S> God<S>430</S>, and turneth away from evil<S>7451</S>.


text:
Then Satan<S>7854</S> answered<S>6030</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Doth Job<S>347</S> fear<S>3372</S> God<S>430</S> for nought<S>2600</S>?


text:
My soul<S>5315</S> is weary<S>5354</S> of my life<S>2416</S>; I will give free course<S>5800</S> to my complaint<S>7879</S>; I will speak<S>1696</S> in the bitterness<S>4751</S> of my soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
Hast thou not poured me out<S>5413</S> as milk<S>2461</S>, And curdled<S>7087</S> me like cheese<S>1385</S>?


text:
Thou hast clothed<S>3847</S> me with skin<S>5785</S> and flesh<S>1320</S>, And knit<S>7753</S> me together with bones<S>6106</S> and sinews<S>1517</S>.


text:
Thou hast granted<S>6213</S> me life<S>2416</S> and lovingkindness<S>2617</S>; And thy visitation<S>6486</S> hath preserved<S>8104</S> my spirit<S>7307</S>.


text:
Yet these things thou didst hide<S>6845</S> in thy heart<S>3824</S>; I know that this is with thee<S>3045</S>:


text:
If I sin<S>2398</S>, then thou markest<S>8104</S> me<S>5352</S>, And thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity<S>5771</S>.


text:
If I be wicked<S>7561</S>, woe<S>480</S> unto me<S>6663</S>; And if I be righteous, yet shall I not lift up<S>5375</S> my head<S>7218</S>; Being filled<S>7649</S> with ignominy<S>7036</S>, And looking<S>7202</S> upon mine affliction<S>6040</S>.


text:
And if my head exalt<S>1342</S> itself<S>6679</S>, thou huntest me as a lion<S>7826</S>; And again<S>7725</S> thou showest thyself marvellous upon me<S>6381</S>.


text:
Thou renewest<S>2318</S> thy witnesses<S>5707</S> against me<S>7235</S>, And increasest thine indignation<S>3708</S> upon me<S>5978</S>: Changes<S>2487</S> and warfare are with me<S>6635</S>.


text:
Wherefore then hast thou brought me forth<S>3318</S> out of the womb<S>7358</S>? I had given up the ghost<S>1478</S>, and no eye<S>5869</S> had seen me<S>7200</S>.


text:
I should have been as though I had not been<S>2986</S>; I should have been carried from the womb<S>990</S> to the grave<S>6913</S>.


text:
I will say<S>559</S> unto God<S>433</S>, Do not condemn<S>7561</S> me<S>3045</S>; Show me wherefore thou contendest with me<S>7378</S>.


text:
Are not my days<S>3117</S> few<S>4592</S>? cease<S>2308</S> then<S>7896</S>, And let me alone, that I may take comfort<S>1082</S> a little<S>4592</S>,


text:
Before I go<S>3212</S> whence I shall not return<S>7725</S>, Even to the land<S>776</S> of darkness<S>2822</S> and of the shadow of death<S>6757</S>;


text:
The land<S>776</S> dark<S>5890</S> as midnight<S>652</S>, The land of the shadow of death<S>6757</S>, without any order<S>5468</S>, And where the light<S>3313</S> is as midnight<S>652</S>.


text:
Is it good<S>2895</S> unto thee that thou shouldest oppress<S>6231</S>, That thou shouldest despise<S>3988</S> the work<S>3018</S> of thy hands<S>3709</S>, And shine<S>3313</S> upon the counsel<S>6098</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S>?


text:
Hast thou eyes<S>5869</S> of flesh<S>1320</S>? Or seest<S>7200</S> thou as man<S>582</S> seeth<S>7200</S>?


text:
Are thy days<S>3117</S> as the days<S>3117</S> of man<S>582</S>, Or thy years<S>8141</S> as man<S>1397</S>'s days<S>3117</S>,


text:
That thou inquirest<S>1245</S> after mine iniquity<S>5771</S>, And searchest<S>1875</S> after my sin<S>2403</S>,


text:
Although thou knowest<S>1847</S> that I am not wicked<S>7561</S>, And there is none that can deliver<S>5337</S> out of thy hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Thy hands<S>3027</S> have framed<S>6087</S> me and fashioned<S>6213</S> me Together<S>3162</S> round about<S>5439</S>; yet thou dost destroy me<S>1104</S>.


text:
Remember<S>2142</S>, I beseech thee<S>6213</S>, that thou hast fashioned me as clay<S>2563</S>; And wilt thou bring<S>7725</S> me into dust<S>6083</S> again<S>7725</S>?


text:
If he pass through<S>2498</S>, and shut up<S>5462</S>, And call<S>6950</S> unto judgment<S>7725</S>, then who can hinder him?


text:
For he knoweth<S>3045</S> false<S>7723</S> men<S>4962</S>: He seeth<S>7200</S> iniquity<S>205</S> also<S>995</S>, even though he consider it not.


text:
But vain<S>5014</S> man<S>376</S> is void of understanding<S>3823</S>, Yea<S>120</S>, man is born<S>3205</S> as a wild ass<S>6501</S>'s colt<S>5895</S>.


text:
If thou set<S>3559</S> thy heart<S>3820</S> aright<S>6566</S>, And stretch out thy hands toward him<S>3709</S>;


text:
If iniquity<S>205</S> be in thy hand<S>3027</S>, put it far away<S>7368</S>, And let not unrighteousness<S>5766</S> dwell<S>7931</S> in thy tents<S>168</S>.


text:
Surely then shalt thou lift up<S>5375</S> thy face<S>6440</S> without spot<S>3971</S>; Yea<S>3332</S>, thou shalt be stedfast, and shalt not fear<S>3372</S>:


text:
For thou shalt forget<S>7911</S> thy misery<S>5999</S>; Thou shalt remember<S>2142</S> it as waters<S>4325</S> that are passed away<S>5674</S>,


text:
And thy life<S>2465</S> shall be clearer<S>6965</S> than the noonday<S>6672</S>; Though there be darkness<S>5774</S>, it shall be as the morning<S>1242</S>.


text:
And thou shalt be secure<S>982</S>, because there is<S>3426</S> hope<S>8615</S>; Yea<S>2658</S>, thou shalt search about thee<S>7901</S>, and shalt take thy rest in safety<S>983</S>.


text:
Also thou shalt lie down<S>7257</S>, and none shall make thee afraid<S>2729</S>; Yea<S>7227</S>, many shall make suit<S>2470</S> unto thee<S>6440</S>.


text:
Should not the multitude<S>7230</S> of words<S>1697</S> be answered<S>6030</S>? And should a man<S>376</S> full of talk<S>8193</S> be justified<S>6663</S>?


text:
But the eyes<S>5869</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S> shall fail<S>3615</S>, And they shall have no way to flee<S>6</S>; And their hope<S>8615</S> shall be the giving up<S>4646</S> of the ghost<S>5315</S>.


text:
Should thy boastings<S>907</S> make<S>2790</S> men<S>4962</S> hold their peace<S>2790</S>? And when thou mockest<S>3932</S>, shall no man make thee ashamed<S>3637</S>?


text:
For thou sayest<S>559</S>, My doctrine<S>3948</S> is pure<S>2134</S>, And I am clean<S>1249</S> in thine eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
But<S>199</S> oh that<S>5414</S> God<S>433</S> would speak<S>1696</S>, And open<S>6605</S> his lips against thee<S>8193</S>,


text:
And that he would show<S>5046</S> thee the secrets<S>8587</S> of wisdom<S>2451</S>! For he is manifold<S>3718</S> in understanding<S>8454</S>. Know<S>3045</S> therefore that God<S>433</S> exacteth<S>5382</S> of thee less than thine iniquity deserveth<S>5771</S>.


text:
Canst thou by searching<S>2714</S> find out<S>4672</S> God<S>433</S>? Canst thou find<S>4672</S> out the Almighty<S>7706</S> unto perfection<S>8503</S>?


text:
It is high<S>1363</S> as heaven<S>8064</S>; what canst thou do<S>6466</S>? Deeper<S>6013</S> than Sheol<S>7585</S>; What canst thou know<S>3045</S>?


text:
The measure<S>4055</S> thereof is longer<S>752</S> than the earth<S>776</S>, And broader<S>7342</S> than the sea<S>3220</S>.


text:
In whose hand<S>3027</S> is the soul<S>5315</S> of every living thing<S>2416</S>, And the breath<S>7307</S> of all mankind<S>376</S>?


text:
Doth not the ear<S>241</S> try<S>974</S> words<S>4405</S>, Even as the palate<S>2441</S> tasteth<S>2938</S> its food<S>400</S>?


text:
With aged<S>3453</S> men is wisdom<S>2451</S>, And in length<S>753</S> of days<S>3117</S> understanding<S>8394</S>.


text:
With God is wisdom<S>2451</S> and might<S>1369</S>; He hath counsel<S>6098</S> and understanding<S>8394</S>.


text:
Behold<S>2040</S>, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again<S>1129</S>; He shutteth up<S>5462</S> a man<S>376</S>, and there can be no opening<S>6605</S>.


text:
Behold<S>6113</S>, he withholdeth the waters<S>4325</S>, and they dry up<S>3001</S>; Again<S>7971</S>, he sendeth them out, and they overturn<S>2015</S> the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
With him is strength<S>5797</S> and wisdom<S>8454</S>; The deceived<S>7683</S> and the deceiver are his<S>7686</S>.


text:
He leadeth<S>3212</S> counsellors<S>3289</S> away stripped<S>7758</S>, And judges<S>8199</S> maketh he fools<S>1984</S>.


text:
He looseth<S>6605</S> the bond<S>4148</S> of kings<S>4428</S>, And he bindeth<S>631</S> their loins<S>4975</S> with a girdle<S>232</S>.


text:
He leadeth<S>3212</S> priests<S>3548</S> away stripped<S>7758</S>, And overthroweth<S>5557</S> the mighty<S>386</S>.


text:
No doubt<S>551</S> but ye are the people<S>5971</S>, And wisdom<S>2451</S> shall die with you<S>4191</S>.


text:
He removeth<S>5493</S> the speech<S>8193</S> of the trusty<S>539</S>, And taketh away<S>3947</S> the understanding<S>2940</S> of the elders<S>2205</S>.


text:
He poureth<S>8210</S> contempt<S>937</S> upon princes<S>5081</S>, And looseth<S>7503</S> the belt<S>4206</S> of the strong<S>4206</S>.


text:
He uncovereth<S>1540</S> deep things<S>6013</S> out of darkness<S>2822</S>, And bringeth out<S>3318</S> to light<S>216</S> the shadow of death<S>6757</S>.


text:
He increaseth<S>7679</S> the nations<S>1471</S>, and he destroyeth<S>6</S> them<S>7849</S>: He enlargeth the nations<S>1471</S>, and he leadeth them captive<S>5148</S>.


text:
He taketh away<S>5493</S> understanding<S>3820</S> from the chiefs<S>7218</S> of the people<S>5971</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, And causeth them to wander<S>8582</S> in a wilderness<S>8414</S> where there is no way<S>1870</S>.


text:
They grope<S>4959</S> in the dark<S>2822</S> without light<S>216</S>; And he maketh them to stagger<S>8582</S> like a drunken man<S>7910</S>.


text:
But<S>1571</S> I have understanding<S>3824</S> as well as you<S>5307</S>; I am not inferior to you<S>3644</S>: Yea, who knoweth not such things as these?


text:
I am as one that is a laughing-stock<S>7814</S> to his neighbor<S>7453</S>, I who called<S>7121</S> upon God<S>433</S>, and he answered<S>6030</S>: The just<S>6662</S>, the perfect<S>8549</S> man is a laughing-stock<S>7814</S>.


text:
In the thought<S>6248</S> of him that is at ease<S>7600</S> there is contempt<S>3940</S> for misfortune<S>937</S>; It is ready<S>3559</S> for them whose foot<S>7272</S> slippeth<S>4571</S>.


text:
The tents<S>168</S> of robbers<S>7703</S> prosper<S>7951</S>, And they that provoke<S>7264</S> God<S>410</S> are secure<S>987</S>; Into whose hand<S>3027</S> God<S>433</S> bringeth abundantly<S>935</S>.


text:
But<S>199</S> ask<S>7592</S> now the beasts<S>929</S>, and they shall teach<S>3384</S> thee<S>5775</S>; And the birds of the heavens<S>8064</S>, and they shall tell thee<S>5046</S>:


text:
Or speak<S>7878</S> to the earth<S>776</S>, and it shall teach<S>3384</S> thee<S>1709</S>; And the fishes of the sea<S>3220</S> shall declare unto thee<S>5608</S>.


text:
Who knoweth<S>3045</S> not in all these<S>3027</S>, That the hand of Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath wrought this<S>6213</S>,


text:
Lo<S>5869</S>, mine eye hath seen<S>7200</S> all this<S>241</S>, Mine ear hath heard<S>8085</S> and understood it<S>995</S>.


text:
He will surely<S>3198</S> reprove<S>3198</S> you<S>5643</S>, If ye do secretly show<S>5375</S> partiality<S>6440</S>.


text:
Shall not his majesty<S>7613</S> make you afraid<S>1204</S>, And his dread<S>6343</S> fall upon you<S>5307</S>?


text:
Your memorable<S>2146</S> sayings are<S>4912</S> proverbs of ashes<S>665</S>, Your defences<S>1354</S> are defences<S>1354</S> of clay<S>2563</S>.


text:
Hold your peace<S>2790</S>, let me alone<S>1696</S>, that I may speak; And let come on me what will<S>5674</S>.


text:
Wherefore should I take<S>5375</S> my flesh<S>1320</S> in my teeth<S>8127</S>, And put<S>7760</S> my life<S>5315</S> in my hand<S>3709</S>?


text:
Behold<S>2005</S>, he will slay<S>6991</S> me<S>3176</S>; I have no hope: Nevertheless I will maintain<S>3198</S> my ways<S>1870</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
This also shall be my salvation<S>3444</S>, That a godless<S>2611</S> man shall not come<S>935</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
Hear<S>8085</S> diligently<S>8085</S> my speech<S>4405</S>, And let my declaration<S>262</S> be in your ears<S>241</S>.


text:
Behold now<S>6186</S>, I have set my cause<S>4941</S> in order<S>3045</S>; I know that I am righteous<S>6663</S>.


text:
Who is he that will contend<S>7378</S> with me<S>2790</S>? For then would I hold my peace and give up the ghost<S>1478</S>.


text:
Only do<S>6213</S> not two<S>8147</S> things unto me<S>5641</S>; Then will I not hide myself from thy face<S>6440</S>:


text:
Withdraw<S>7368</S> thy hand<S>3709</S> far<S>7368</S> from me<S>367</S>; And let not thy terror make me afraid<S>1204</S>.


text:
Then call<S>7121</S> thou<S>6030</S>, and I will answer; Or let me speak<S>1696</S>, and answer thou me<S>7725</S>.


text:
How many are mine iniquities<S>5771</S> and sins<S>2403</S>? Make me to know<S>3045</S> my transgression<S>6588</S> and my sin<S>2403</S>.


text:
Wherefore hidest<S>5641</S> thou thy face<S>6440</S>, And holdest<S>2803</S> me for thine enemy<S>341</S>?


text:
Wilt thou harass<S>6206</S> a driven<S>5086</S> leaf<S>5929</S>? And wilt thou pursue<S>7291</S> the dry<S>3002</S> stubble<S>7179</S>?


text:
For thou writest<S>3789</S> bitter things<S>4846</S> against me<S>3423</S>, And makest me to inherit the iniquities<S>5771</S> of my youth<S>5271</S>:


text:
Thou puttest<S>7760</S> my feet<S>7272</S> also in the stocks<S>5465</S>, And markest<S>8104</S> all my paths<S>734</S>; Thou settest a bound<S>2707</S> to the soles<S>8328</S> of my feet<S>7272</S>:


text:
Though I am like a rotten thing<S>7538</S> that consumeth<S>1086</S>, Like a garment<S>899</S> that is moth<S>6211</S> - eaten<S>398</S>.


text:
Surely<S>199</S> I would speak<S>1696</S> to the Almighty<S>7706</S>, And I desire<S>2654</S> to reason<S>3198</S> with God<S>410</S>.


text:
But<S>199</S> ye are forgers<S>2950</S> of lies<S>8267</S>; Ye are all physicians<S>7495</S> of no value<S>457</S>.


text:
Oh that<S>5414</S> ye would altogether<S>2790</S> hold your peace<S>2790</S>! And it would be your wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
Hear<S>8085</S> now my reasoning<S>8433</S>, And hearken<S>7181</S> to the pleadings<S>7379</S> of my lips<S>8193</S>.


text:
Will ye speak<S>1696</S> unrighteously<S>5766</S> for God<S>410</S>, And talk<S>1696</S> deceitfully for him<S>7423</S>?


text:
Is it good<S>2895</S> that he should search you out<S>2713</S>? Or as one<S>582</S> deceiveth<S>2048</S> a man<S>2048</S>, will ye deceive him?


text:
Man<S>120</S>, that is born<S>3205</S> of a woman<S>802</S>, Is of few<S>7116</S> days<S>3117</S>, and full<S>7649</S> of trouble<S>7267</S>.


text:
But man<S>1397</S> dieth<S>4191</S>, and is laid low<S>2522</S>: Yea<S>120</S>, man giveth up the ghost<S>1478</S>, and where is he?


text:
As the waters<S>4325</S> fail<S>235</S> from the sea<S>3220</S>, And the river<S>5104</S> wasteth<S>2717</S> and drieth up<S>3001</S>;


text:
So man<S>376</S> lieth down<S>7901</S> and riseth<S>6965</S> not<S>8064</S>: Till the heavens be no more<S>1115</S>, they shall not awake<S>6974</S>, Nor be roused out<S>5782</S> of their sleep<S>8142</S>.


text:
Oh that<S>5414</S> thou wouldest hide<S>6845</S> me in Sheol<S>7585</S>, That thou wouldest keep me secret<S>5641</S>, until thy wrath<S>639</S> be past<S>7725</S>, That thou wouldest appoint<S>7896</S> me a set time<S>2706</S>, and remember me<S>2142</S>!


text:
If a man<S>1397</S> die<S>4191</S>, shall he live<S>2421</S> again<S>3117</S>? All the days of my warfare<S>6635</S> would I wait<S>3176</S>, Till my release<S>2487</S> should come<S>935</S>.


text:
Thou wouldest call<S>7121</S>, and I would answer<S>6030</S> thee<S>3700</S>: Thou wouldest have a desire to the work<S>4639</S> of thy hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
But now thou numberest<S>5608</S> my steps<S>6806</S>: Dost thou not watch<S>8104</S> over my sin<S>2403</S>?


text:
My transgression<S>6588</S> is sealed up<S>2856</S> in a bag<S>6872</S>, And thou fastenest up<S>2950</S> mine iniquity<S>5771</S>.


text:
But<S>199</S> the mountain<S>2022</S> falling<S>5307</S> cometh to nought<S>5034</S>; And the rock<S>6697</S> is removed<S>6275</S> out of its place<S>4725</S>;


text:
The waters<S>4325</S> wear<S>7833</S> the stones<S>68</S>; The overflowings thereof wash away<S>7857</S> the<S>5599</S> dust<S>6083</S> of the earth<S>776</S>: So thou destroyest<S>6</S> the hope<S>8615</S> of man<S>582</S>.


text:
He cometh forth<S>3318</S> like a flower<S>6731</S>, and is cut down<S>5243</S>: He fleeth<S>1272</S> also as a shadow<S>6738</S>, and continueth not<S>5975</S>.


text:
Thou prevailest<S>8630</S> for ever<S>5331</S> against him<S>1980</S>, and he passeth; Thou changest<S>8138</S> his countenance<S>6440</S>, and sendest him away<S>7971</S>.


text:
His sons<S>1121</S> come to honor<S>3513</S>, and he knoweth<S>3045</S> it not<S>6819</S>; And they are brought low, but he perceiveth it not of them<S>995</S>.


text:
But his flesh<S>1320</S> upon him hath pain<S>3510</S>, And his soul<S>5315</S> within him mourneth<S>56</S>.


text:
And dost thou open<S>6491</S> thine eyes<S>5869</S> upon such a one<S>2088</S>, And bringest<S>935</S> me into judgment with thee<S>4941</S>?


text:
Seeing<S>518</S> his days<S>3117</S> are determined<S>2782</S>, The number<S>4557</S> of his months<S>2320</S> is with thee<S>6213</S>, And thou hast appointed his bounds<S>2706</S> that he cannot pass<S>5674</S>;


text:
Look<S>8159</S> away from him<S>2308</S>, that he may rest, Till he shall accomplish<S>7521</S>, as a hireling<S>7916</S>, his day<S>3117</S>.


text:
For there is<S>3426</S> hope<S>8615</S> of a tree<S>6086</S>, If it be cut down<S>3772</S>, that it will sprout again<S>2498</S>, And that the tender branch<S>3127</S> thereof will not cease<S>2308</S>.


text:
Though the root<S>8328</S> thereof wax old<S>2204</S> in the earth<S>776</S>, And the stock<S>1503</S> thereof die<S>4191</S> in the ground<S>6083</S>;


text:
Yet through the scent<S>7381</S> of water<S>4325</S> it will bud<S>6524</S>, And put forth<S>6213</S> boughs<S>7105</S> like a plant<S>5194</S>.


text:
With us are both the gray-headed<S>7867</S> and the very aged<S>3453</S> men<S>3524</S>, Much elder<S>3117</S> than thy father<S>1</S>.


text:
Are the consolations<S>8575</S> of God<S>410</S> too small<S>4592</S> for thee<S>1697</S>, Even the word that is gentle toward thee<S>328</S>?


text:
Why doth thy heart<S>3820</S> carry thee away<S>3947</S>? And why do thine eyes<S>5869</S> flash<S>7335</S>,


text:
That against God<S>410</S> thou turnest<S>7725</S> thy spirit<S>7307</S>, And lettest words<S>4405</S> go out<S>3318</S> of thy mouth<S>6310</S>?


text:
What is man<S>582</S>, that he should be clean<S>2135</S>? And he that is born<S>3205</S> of a woman<S>802</S>, that he should be righteous<S>6663</S>?


text:
Behold<S>539</S>, he putteth no trust in his holy<S>6918</S> ones<S>8064</S>; Yea, the heavens are not clean<S>2141</S> in his sight<S>5869</S>:


text:
How much less one<S>376</S> that is abominable<S>8581</S> and corrupt<S>376</S>, A man that drinketh<S>8354</S> iniquity<S>5766</S> like water<S>4325</S>!


text:
I will show<S>2331</S> thee<S>8085</S>, hear thou me<S>2372</S>; And that which I have seen I will declare<S>5608</S>:


text:
(Which wise<S>2450</S> men have told<S>5046</S> From their fathers<S>1</S>, and have not hid it<S>3582</S>;


text:
Unto whom alone the land<S>776</S> was given<S>5414</S>, And no stranger<S>2114</S> passed<S>5674</S> among them<S>8432</S>):


text:
Should a wise man<S>2450</S> make answer<S>6030</S> with vain<S>7307</S> knowledge<S>1847</S>, And fill<S>4390</S> himself<S>990</S> with the east wind<S>6921</S>?


text:
The wicked<S>7563</S> man travaileth<S>2342</S> with pain all his days<S>3117</S>, Even the number<S>4557</S> of years<S>8141</S> that are laid<S>6845</S> up for the oppressor<S>6184</S>.


text:
A sound<S>6963</S> of terrors<S>6343</S> is in his ears<S>241</S>; In prosperity<S>7965</S> the destroyer<S>7703</S> shall come upon him<S>935</S>.


text:
He believeth<S>539</S> not that he shall return<S>7725</S> out of darkness<S>2822</S>, And he is waited<S>6822</S> for of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
He wandereth abroad<S>5074</S> for bread<S>3899</S>, saying<S>3045</S>, Where is it? He knoweth that the day<S>3117</S> of darkness<S>2822</S> is ready<S>3559</S> at his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Distress<S>6862</S> and anguish<S>4691</S> make him afraid<S>1204</S>; They prevail<S>8630</S> against him<S>4428</S>, as a king ready<S>6264</S> to the battle<S>3593</S>.


text:
Because he hath stretched out<S>5186</S> his hand<S>3027</S> against God<S>410</S>, And behaveth himself proudly<S>1396</S> against the Almighty<S>7706</S>;


text:
He runneth<S>7323</S> upon him with a stiff neck<S>6677</S>, With the thick<S>5672</S> bosses<S>1354</S> of his bucklers<S>4043</S>;


text:
Because he hath covered<S>3680</S> his face<S>6440</S> with his fatness<S>2459</S>, And gathered<S>6213</S> fat<S>6371</S> upon his loins<S>3689</S>;


text:
And he hath dwelt<S>7931</S> in desolate<S>3582</S> cities<S>5892</S>, In houses<S>1004</S> which no man inhabited<S>3427</S>, Which were ready<S>6257</S> to become heaps<S>1530</S>;


text:
He shall not be rich<S>6238</S>, neither shall his substance<S>2428</S> continue<S>6965</S>, Neither shall their possessions<S>5186</S> be extended<S>4512</S> on the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
Should he reason<S>3198</S> with unprofitable<S>5532</S> talk<S>1697</S>, Or with speeches<S>4405</S> wherewith he can do no good<S>3276</S>?


text:
He shall not depart<S>5493</S> out of darkness<S>2822</S>; The flame<S>7957</S> shall dry up<S>3001</S> his branches<S>3127</S>, And by the breath<S>7307</S> of God<S>6310</S>'s mouth shall he go away<S>5493</S>.


text:
Let him not trust<S>539</S> in vanity<S>7723</S>, deceiving<S>8582</S> himself<S>7723</S>; For vanity shall be his recompense<S>8545</S>.


text:
It shall be accomplished<S>4390</S> before<S>3808</S> his time<S>3117</S>, And his branch<S>3712</S> shall not be green<S>7488</S>.


text:
He shall shake off<S>2554</S> his unripe grape<S>1154</S> as the vine<S>1612</S>, And shall cast off<S>7993</S> his flower<S>5328</S> as the olive-tree<S>2132</S>.


text:
For the company<S>5712</S> of the godless<S>2611</S> shall be barren<S>1565</S>, And fire<S>784</S> shall consume<S>398</S> the tents<S>168</S> of bribery<S>7810</S>.


text:
They conceive<S>2029</S> mischief<S>5999</S>, and bring forth<S>3205</S> iniquity<S>205</S>, And their heart<S>990</S> prepareth<S>3559</S> deceit<S>4820</S>.


text:
Yea<S>6565</S>, thou doest away with fear<S>3374</S>, And hinderest<S>1639</S> devotion<S>7881</S> before<S>6440</S> God<S>410</S>.


text:
For thine iniquity<S>5771</S> teacheth<S>502</S> thy mouth<S>6310</S>, And thou choosest<S>977</S> the tongue<S>3956</S> of the crafty<S>6175</S>.


text:
Thine own mouth<S>6310</S> condemneth<S>7561</S> thee<S>8193</S>, and not I; Yea, thine own lips testify against thee<S>6030</S>.


text:
Art thou the first<S>7223</S> man<S>120</S> that was born<S>3205</S>? Or wast thou brought<S>2342</S> forth before<S>6440</S> the hills<S>1389</S>?


text:
Hast thou heard<S>8085</S> the secret<S>5475</S> counsel of God<S>433</S>? And dost thou limit<S>1639</S> wisdom to thyself<S>2451</S>?


text:
What knowest<S>3045</S> thou<S>3045</S>, that we know not<S>995</S>? What understandest thou, which is not in us?


text:
They have gaped<S>6473</S> upon me with their mouth<S>6310</S>; They have smitten<S>5221</S> me upon the cheek<S>3895</S> reproachfully<S>2781</S>: They gather<S>4390</S> themselves together against me<S>3162</S>.


text:
God<S>410</S> delivereth<S>5462</S> me to the ungodly<S>5760</S>, And casteth me into<S>3399</S> the hands<S>3027</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S>.


text:
I was at ease<S>7961</S>, and he brake me asunder<S>6565</S>; Yea<S>270</S>, he hath taken me by the neck<S>6203</S>, and dashed me to pieces<S>6327</S>: He hath also set me up<S>6965</S> for his mark<S>4307</S>.


text:
His archers<S>7228</S> compass me round about<S>5437</S>; He cleaveth<S>6398</S> my reins<S>3629</S> asunder<S>6398</S>, and doth not spare<S>2550</S>; He poureth out<S>8210</S> my gall<S>4845</S> upon the ground<S>776</S>.


text:
He breaketh<S>6555</S> me with breach<S>6556</S> upon<S>6440</S> breach<S>6556</S>; He runneth<S>7323</S> upon me like a giant<S>1368</S>.


text:
I have sewed<S>8609</S> sackcloth<S>8242</S> upon my skin<S>1539</S>, And have laid<S>5953</S> my horn<S>7161</S> in the dust<S>6083</S>.


text:
My face<S>6440</S> is red<S>2560</S> with weeping<S>1065</S>, And on my eyelids<S>6079</S> is the shadow of death<S>6757</S>;


text:
Although there is no violence<S>2555</S> in my hands<S>3709</S>, And my prayer<S>8605</S> is pure<S>2134</S>.


text:
O earth<S>776</S>, cover<S>3680</S> not thou my blood<S>1818</S>, And let my cry<S>2201</S> have no resting<S>4725</S> -place.


text:
Even now<S>5707</S>, behold, my witness is in heaven<S>8064</S>, And he that voucheth<S>7717</S> for me is on high<S>4791</S>.


text:
I have heard<S>8085</S> many such things<S>7227</S>: Miserable<S>5999</S> comforters are ye all<S>5162</S>.


text:
My friends<S>7453</S> scoff<S>3887</S> at me<S>5869</S>: But mine eye poureth out<S>1811</S> tears unto God<S>433</S>,


text:
That he would maintain<S>3198</S> the right of a man<S>1397</S> with God<S>433</S>, And of a son of man<S>120</S> with his neighbor<S>1121</S>!


text:
For when a few<S>4557</S> years<S>8141</S> are come<S>857</S>, I shall go<S>1980</S> the way<S>734</S> whence I shall not return<S>7725</S>.


text:
Shall vain<S>7307</S> words<S>1697</S> have an end<S>7093</S>? Or what provoketh<S>4834</S> thee that thou answerest<S>6030</S>?


text:
I also could speak<S>1696</S> as ye do<S>3863</S>; If your soul<S>5315</S> were<S>3426</S> in my soul<S>5315</S>'s stead<S>2266</S>, I could join words<S>4405</S> together against you<S>5128</S>, And shake my head<S>7218</S> at you<S>1119</S>.


text:
But I would strengthen<S>553</S> you with<S>1119</S> my mouth<S>6310</S>, And the solace<S>5205</S> of my lips<S>8193</S> would assuage your grief<S>2820</S>.


text:
Though I speak<S>1696</S>, my grief<S>3511</S> is not assuaged<S>2820</S>; And though I forbear<S>2308</S>, what am I eased<S>1980</S>?


text:
But now he hath made me weary<S>3811</S>: Thou hast made desolate<S>8074</S> all my company<S>5712</S>.


text:
And thou hast laid fast hold<S>7059</S> on me<S>5707</S>, which is a witness against me<S>3585</S>: And my leanness riseth up<S>6965</S> against me<S>6030</S>, It testifieth to my face<S>6440</S>.


text:
He hath torn<S>2963</S> me in his wrath<S>639</S>, and persecuted<S>7852</S> me<S>2786</S>; He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth<S>8127</S>: Mine adversary<S>6862</S> sharpeneth<S>3913</S> his eyes upon me<S>5869</S>.


text:
My spirit<S>7307</S> is consumed<S>2254</S>, my days<S>3117</S> are extinct<S>2193</S>, The grave is ready for me<S>6913</S>.


text:
But<S>199</S> as for you all<S>7725</S>, come on now<S>935</S> again<S>4672</S>; And I shall not find a wise man among you<S>2450</S>.


text:
My days<S>3117</S> are past<S>5674</S>, my purposes<S>2154</S> are broken off<S>5423</S>, Even the thoughts<S>4180</S> of my heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
They change<S>7760</S> the night<S>3915</S> into day<S>3117</S>: The light<S>216</S>, say they<S>7138</S>, is near unto<S>6440</S> the darkness<S>2822</S>.


text:
If I look<S>6960</S> for Sheol<S>7585</S> as my house<S>1004</S>; If I have spread<S>7502</S> my couch<S>3326</S> in the darkness<S>2822</S>;


text:
If I have said<S>7121</S> to corruption<S>7845</S>, Thou art my father<S>1</S>; To the worm<S>7415</S>, Thou art my mother<S>517</S>, and my sister<S>269</S>;


text:
Where then is<S>645</S> my hope<S>8615</S>? And as for my hope<S>8615</S>, who shall see it<S>7789</S>?


text:
It shall go down<S>3381</S> to the bars<S>905</S> of Sheol<S>7585</S>, When once there is rest<S>5183</S> in<S>3162</S> the dust<S>6083</S>.


text:
Surely there are mockers<S>2049</S> with me<S>5869</S>, And mine eye dwelleth<S>3885</S> upon their provocation<S>4784</S>.


text:
Give<S>7760</S> now a pledge<S>6148</S>, be surety for me with thyself<S>8628</S>; Who is there that will strike hands with me<S>3027</S>?


text:
For thou hast hid<S>6845</S> their heart<S>3820</S> from understanding<S>7922</S>: Therefore shalt thou not exalt them<S>7311</S>.


text:
He that denounceth<S>5046</S> his friends<S>7453</S> for a prey<S>2506</S>, Even the eyes<S>5869</S> of his children<S>1121</S> shall fail<S>3615</S>.


text:
But he hath made<S>3322</S> me a byword<S>4914</S> of the people<S>5971</S>; And they<S>6440</S> spit in my face<S>8611</S>.


text:
Mine eye<S>5869</S> also is dim<S>3543</S> by reason of sorrow<S>3708</S>, And all my members<S>3338</S> are as a shadow<S>6738</S>.


text:
Upright<S>3477</S> men shall be astonished<S>8074</S> at this<S>5355</S>, And the innocent shall stir up<S>5782</S> himself against the godless<S>2611</S>.


text:
Yet shall the righteous<S>6662</S> hold<S>270</S> on his way<S>1870</S>, And he that hath clean<S>2890</S> hands<S>3027</S> shall wax<S>3254</S> stronger and stronger<S>555</S>.


text:
A noose<S>2256</S> is hid<S>2934</S> for him in the ground<S>776</S>, And a trap<S>4434</S> for him in the way<S>5410</S>.

Terrors<S>1091</S> shall make him afraid<S>1204</S> on every side<S>5439</S>, And shall chase<S>6327</S> him at his heels<S>7272</S>.


text:
His strength<S>202</S> shall be hunger-bitten<S>7457</S>, And calamity<S>343</S> shall be ready<S>3559</S> at his side<S>6763</S>.


text:
The members<S>905</S> of his body<S>5785</S> shall be devoured<S>398</S>, Yea<S>1060</S>, the first-born of death<S>4194</S> shall devour<S>398</S> his members<S>905</S>.


text:
He shall be rooted out<S>5423</S> of his tent<S>168</S> where he trusteth<S>4009</S>; And he shall be brought<S>6805</S> to the king<S>4428</S> of terrors<S>1091</S>.


text:
There shall dwell<S>7931</S> in his tent<S>168</S> that which is none<S>1097</S> of his<S>1614</S>: Brimstone shall be scattered<S>2219</S> upon his habitation<S>5116</S>.


text:
His roots<S>8328</S> shall be dried up<S>3001</S> beneath<S>4605</S>, And above shall his branch<S>7105</S> be cut off<S>5243</S>.


text:
His remembrance<S>2143</S> shall perish<S>6</S> from the earth<S>776</S>, And he shall have no name<S>8034</S> in the street<S>6440</S>.


text:
He shall be driven<S>1920</S> from light<S>216</S> into darkness<S>2822</S>, And chased<S>5074</S> out of the world<S>8398</S>.


text:
He shall have neither son<S>5209</S> nor son<S>5220</S>'s son among his people<S>5971</S>, Nor any remaining<S>8300</S> where he sojourned<S>4033</S>.


text:
How long<S>5704</S> will ye hunt<S>7760</S> for<S>7078</S> words<S>4405</S>? Consider<S>995</S>, and afterwards<S>310</S> we will speak<S>1696</S>.


text:
They that come after<S>314</S> shall be astonished<S>8074</S> at his day<S>3117</S>, As they that went before<S>6931</S> were affrighted<S>270</S>.


text:
Surely such are the dwellings<S>4908</S> of the unrighteous<S>5767</S>, And this is the place<S>4725</S> of him that knoweth<S>3045</S> not God<S>410</S>.


text:
Wherefore are we counted<S>2803</S> as beasts<S>929</S>, And are become unclean<S>2933</S> in your sight<S>5869</S>?


text:
Thou that tearest<S>2963</S> thyself<S>5315</S> in thine anger<S>639</S>, Shall the earth<S>776</S> be forsaken<S>5800</S> for thee<S>6697</S>? Or shall the rock be removed<S>6275</S> out of its place<S>4725</S>?


text:
Yea<S>216</S>, the light of the wicked<S>7563</S> shall be put out<S>1846</S>, And the spark<S>7632</S> of his fire<S>784</S> shall not shine<S>5050</S>.


text:
The light<S>216</S> shall be dark<S>2821</S> in his tent<S>168</S>, And his lamp<S>5216</S> above him shall be put out<S>1846</S>.


text:
The steps<S>6806</S> of his strength<S>202</S> shall be straitened<S>3334</S>, And his own counsel<S>6098</S> shall cast him down<S>7993</S>.


text:
For he is cast<S>7971</S> into a net<S>7568</S> by his own feet<S>7272</S>, And he walketh<S>1980</S> upon the toils<S>7639</S>.


text:
A gin<S>6341</S> shall take<S>270</S> him by the heel<S>6119</S>, And a snare<S>6782</S> shall lay hold on him<S>2388</S>.


text:
He hath broken<S>5422</S> me down on every side<S>5439</S>, and I am gone<S>3212</S>; And my hope<S>8615</S> hath he plucked<S>5265</S> up like a tree<S>6086</S>.


text:
He hath also kindled<S>2734</S> his wrath<S>639</S> against me<S>2803</S>, And he counteth me unto him as one of his adversaries<S>6862</S>.


text:
His troops<S>1416</S> come<S>935</S> on together<S>3162</S>, And cast up<S>5549</S> their way<S>1870</S> against me<S>2583</S>, And encamp round about<S>5439</S> my tent<S>168</S>.


text:
He hath put<S>7368</S> my brethren<S>251</S> far<S>7368</S> from me<S>3045</S>, And mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me<S>2114</S>.


text:
My kinsfolk<S>7138</S> have failed<S>2308</S>, And my familiar friends<S>3045</S> have forgotten me<S>7911</S>.


text:
They that dwell<S>1481</S> in my house<S>1004</S>, and my maids<S>519</S>, count<S>2803</S> me for a stranger<S>2114</S>; I am an alien<S>5237</S> in their sight<S>5869</S>.


text:
I call<S>7121</S> unto my servant<S>5650</S>, and he giveth me no answer<S>6030</S>, Though I entreat<S>2603</S> him with<S>1119</S> my mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
My breath<S>7307</S> is strange<S>2114</S> to my wife<S>802</S>, And my supplication<S>2589</S> to the children<S>1121</S> of mine own mother<S>990</S>.


text:
Even young children<S>5759</S> despise<S>3988</S> me<S>6965</S>; If I arise, they speak against me<S>1696</S>.


text:
All my familiar<S>5475</S> friends<S>4962</S> abhor<S>8581</S> me<S>157</S>, And they whom I loved are turned against me<S>2015</S>.


text:
How long will ye vex<S>3013</S> my soul<S>5315</S>, And break<S>1792</S> me in pieces with words<S>4405</S>?


text:
My bone<S>6106</S> cleaveth<S>1692</S> to my skin<S>5785</S> and to my flesh<S>1320</S>, And I am escaped<S>4422</S> with the skin<S>5785</S> of my teeth<S>8127</S>.


text:
Have pity<S>2603</S> upon me<S>2603</S>, have pity upon me<S>7453</S>, O ye my friends; For the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>433</S> hath touched me<S>5060</S>.


text:
Why do ye persecute<S>7291</S> me as God<S>410</S>, And are not satisfied<S>7646</S> with my flesh<S>1320</S>?


text:
Oh that<S>5414</S> my words<S>4405</S> were now<S>645</S> written<S>3789</S>! Oh that<S>5414</S> they were inscribed<S>2710</S> in a book<S>5612</S>!


text:
That with an iron<S>1270</S> pen<S>5842</S> and lead<S>5777</S> They were graven<S>2672</S> in the rock<S>6697</S> for ever<S>5703</S>!


text:
But as for me I know<S>3045</S> that my Redeemer<S>1350</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, And at last<S>314</S> he will stand<S>6965</S> up upon the earth<S>6083</S>:


text:
And after<S>310</S> my skin<S>5785</S>, even this body<S>5362</S>, is destroyed, Then without my flesh<S>1320</S> shall I see<S>2372</S> God<S>433</S>;


text:
Whom I<S>2372</S>, even I, shall see, on my side<S>5869</S>, And mine eyes shall behold<S>7200</S>, and not as a stranger<S>2114</S>. My heart<S>3629</S> is consumed<S>3615</S> within me<S>2436</S>.


text:
If ye say<S>559</S>, How we will persecute<S>7291</S> him<S>8328</S>! And that the root of the matter<S>1697</S> is found in me<S>4672</S>;


text:
Be ye afraid<S>1481</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>: For wrath<S>2534</S> bringeth the punishments<S>5771</S> of<S>6440</S> the sword<S>2719</S>, That ye may know<S>3045</S> there is a judgment<S>1779</S>.


text:
These ten<S>6235</S> times<S>6471</S> have ye reproached<S>3637</S> me<S>954</S>: Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me<S>1970</S>.


text:
And be it indeed<S>551</S> that I have erred<S>7686</S>, Mine error<S>4879</S> remaineth with myself<S>3885</S>.


text:
If indeed<S>551</S> ye will magnify<S>1431</S> yourselves against me<S>3198</S>, And plead against me my reproach<S>2781</S>;


text:
Know<S>3045</S> now<S>645</S> that God<S>433</S> hath subverted<S>5791</S> me in my cause<S>5362</S>, And hath compassed me with his net<S>4686</S>.


text:
Behold<S>6817</S>, I cry out of wrong<S>2555</S>, but I am not heard<S>6030</S>: I cry<S>7768</S> for help<S>4941</S>, but there is no justice.


text:
He hath walled up<S>1443</S> my way<S>734</S> that I cannot pass<S>5674</S>, And hath set<S>7760</S> darkness<S>2822</S> in my paths<S>5410</S>.


text:
He hath stripped<S>6584</S> me of my glory<S>3519</S>, And taken<S>5493</S> the crown<S>5850</S> from my head<S>7218</S>.


text:
Again it came to pass on the day<S>3117</S> when the sons<S>1121</S> of God<S>430</S> came<S>935</S> to present<S>3320</S> themselves before Jehovah<S>3068</S>, that Satan<S>7854</S> came<S>935</S> also among<S>8432</S> them to present<S>3320</S> himself before Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
But he said<S>559</S> unto her<S>1696</S>, Thou speakest as one<S>259</S> of the foolish women<S>5036</S> speaketh<S>1696</S>. What<S>1571</S>? shall we receive<S>6901</S> good<S>2896</S> at the hand of God<S>430</S>, and shall we not receive<S>6901</S> evil<S>7451</S>? In all this did not Job<S>347</S> sin<S>2398</S> with his lips<S>8193</S>.


text:
Now when Job<S>347</S>'s three<S>7969</S> friends<S>7453</S> heard<S>8085</S> of all this evil<S>7451</S> that was come<S>935</S> upon him<S>935</S>, they came every one<S>376</S> from his own place<S>4725</S>: Eliphaz<S>464</S> the Temanite<S>8489</S>, and Bildad<S>1085</S> the Shuhite<S>7747</S>, and Zophar<S>6691</S> the Naamathite<S>5284</S>, and they made an appointment<S>3259</S> together<S>3162</S> to come<S>935</S> to bemoan<S>5110</S> him and to comfort him<S>5162</S>.


text:
And when they lifted up<S>5375</S> their eyes<S>5869</S> afar off<S>7350</S>, and knew<S>5234</S> him not<S>5375</S>, they lifted up their voice<S>6963</S>, and wept<S>1058</S>; and they rent<S>7167</S> every one<S>376</S> his robe<S>4598</S>, and sprinkled<S>2236</S> dust<S>6083</S> upon their heads<S>7218</S> toward heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
So they sat down<S>3427</S> with him upon the ground<S>776</S> seven<S>7651</S> days<S>3117</S> and seven<S>7651</S> nights<S>3915</S>, and none spake<S>1696</S> a word<S>1697</S> unto him<S>7200</S>: for they saw that his grief<S>3511</S> was very<S>3966</S> great<S>1431</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Satan<S>7854</S>, From whence<S>335</S> comest<S>935</S> thou<S>7854</S>? And Satan answered<S>6030</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>6030</S>, From going to and fro<S>7751</S> in the earth<S>776</S>, and from walking up and down in it<S>1980</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Satan<S>7854</S>, Hast thou<S>7760</S> considered<S>3820</S> my servant<S>5650</S> Job<S>347</S>? for there is none like him in the earth<S>776</S>, a perfect<S>8535</S> and an upright<S>3477</S> man<S>376</S>, one that feareth<S>3373</S> God<S>430</S>, and turneth<S>5493</S> away from evil<S>7451</S>: and he still holdeth fast<S>2388</S> his integrity<S>8538</S>, although thou movedst<S>5496</S> me against him<S>1104</S>, to destroy him without cause<S>2600</S>.


text:
And Satan<S>7854</S> answered<S>6030</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and said<S>559</S>, Skin<S>5785</S> for skin<S>5785</S>, yea<S>376</S>, all that a man hath will he give<S>5414</S> for his life<S>5315</S>.


text:
But<S>199</S> put forth<S>7971</S> thy hand<S>3027</S> now<S>5060</S>, and touch his bone<S>6106</S> and his flesh<S>1320</S>, and he will renounce<S>1288</S> thee to thy face<S>6440</S>.


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> unto Satan<S>7854</S>, Behold<S>3027</S>, he is in thy hand; only spare<S>8104</S> his life<S>5315</S>.


text:
So Satan<S>7854</S> went<S>3318</S> forth<S>3318</S> from the presence<S>6440</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, and smote<S>5221</S> Job<S>347</S> with sore<S>7451</S> boils<S>7822</S> from the sole<S>3709</S> of his foot<S>7272</S> unto his crown<S>6936</S>.


text:
And he took<S>3947</S> him a potsherd<S>2789</S> to scrape<S>1623</S> himself therewith<S>3427</S>; and he sat among<S>8432</S> the ashes<S>665</S>.


text:
Then said<S>559</S> his wife<S>802</S> unto him<S>2388</S>, Dost thou still hold fast thine integrity<S>8538</S>? renounce<S>1288</S> God<S>430</S>, and die<S>4191</S>.


text:
His children<S>1121</S> shall seek the favor<S>7521</S> of the poor<S>1800</S>, And his hands<S>3027</S> shall give back<S>7725</S> his wealth<S>202</S>.


text:
His bones<S>6106</S> are full<S>4390</S> of his youth<S>5934</S>, But it shall lie down<S>7901</S> with him in the dust<S>6083</S>.


text:
Though wickedness<S>7451</S> be sweet<S>4985</S> in his mouth<S>6310</S>, Though he hide<S>3582</S> it under his tongue<S>3956</S>,


text:
Though he spare<S>2550</S> it<S>5800</S>, and will not let it go, But keep it still<S>4513</S> within<S>8432</S> his mouth<S>2441</S>;


text:
Yet his food<S>3899</S> in his bowels<S>4578</S> is turned<S>2015</S>, It is the gall<S>4846</S> of asps<S>6620</S> within him<S>7130</S>.


text:
He hath swallowed down<S>1104</S> riches<S>2428</S>, and he shall vomit them up again<S>6958</S>; God<S>410</S> will cast them out<S>3423</S> of his belly<S>990</S>.


text:
He shall suck<S>3243</S> the poison<S>7219</S> of asps<S>6620</S>: The viper<S>660</S>'s tongue<S>3956</S> shall slay him<S>2026</S>.


text:
He shall not look<S>7200</S> upon the rivers<S>6390</S>, The flowing<S>5104</S> streams<S>6390</S> of honey<S>1706</S> and butter<S>2529</S>.


text:
That which he labored<S>3022</S> for shall he restore<S>7725</S>, and shall not swallow it down<S>1104</S>; According to the substance<S>2428</S> that he hath gotten<S>8545</S>, he shall not rejoice<S>5965</S>.


text:
For he hath oppressed<S>7533</S> and forsaken<S>5800</S> the poor<S>1800</S>; He hath violently taken away<S>1497</S> a house<S>1004</S>, and he shall not build it up<S>1129</S>.


text:
Therefore do my thoughts<S>5587</S> give answer<S>7725</S> to me<S>2363</S>, Even by reason of my haste that is in me.


text:
Because he knew<S>3045</S> no quietness<S>7961</S> within him<S>990</S>, He shall not save<S>4422</S> aught of that wherein he delighteth<S>2530</S>.


text:
There was nothing<S>400</S> left<S>8300</S> that he devoured not<S>2898</S>; Therefore his prosperity shall not endure<S>2342</S>.


text:
In the fulness<S>4390</S> of his sufficiency<S>5607</S> he shall be in straits<S>3334</S>: The hand<S>3027</S> of every one that is in misery<S>6001</S> shall come upon him<S>935</S>.


text:
When he is about to fill<S>4390</S> his belly<S>990</S>, God will cast<S>7971</S> the fierceness<S>2740</S> of his wrath<S>639</S> upon him<S>4305</S>, And will rain it upon him while he is eating<S>3894</S>.


text:
He shall flee<S>1272</S> from the iron<S>1270</S> weapon<S>5402</S>, And the bow<S>7198</S> of brass<S>5154</S> shall strike him through<S>2498</S>.


text:
He draweth<S>8025</S> it forth<S>3318</S>, and it cometh out of his body<S>1465</S>; Yea<S>1300</S>, the glittering point cometh out<S>1980</S> of his gall<S>4846</S>: Terrors are upon him<S>367</S>.


text:
All darkness<S>2822</S> is laid<S>2934</S> up for his treasures<S>6845</S>: A fire<S>784</S> not blown<S>5301</S> by man shall devour<S>398</S> him<S>3415</S>; It shall consume that which is left<S>8300</S> in his tent<S>168</S>.


text:
The heavens<S>8064</S> shall reveal<S>1540</S> his iniquity<S>5771</S>, And the earth<S>776</S> shall rise up against him<S>6965</S>.


text:
The increase<S>2981</S> of his house<S>1004</S> shall depart<S>1540</S>; His goods shall flow away<S>5064</S> in the day<S>3117</S> of his wrath<S>639</S>.


text:
This is the portion<S>2506</S> of a wicked<S>7563</S> man<S>120</S> from God<S>430</S>, And the heritage<S>5159</S> appointed<S>561</S> unto him by God<S>410</S>.


text:
I have heard<S>8085</S> the reproof<S>4148</S> which putteth me to shame<S>3639</S>; And the spirit<S>7307</S> of my understanding<S>998</S> answereth me<S>6030</S>.


text:
Knowest<S>3045</S> thou not this of old<S>5703</S> time<S>120</S>, Since man was placed<S>7760</S> upon earth<S>776</S>,


text:
That the triumphing<S>7445</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S> is short<S>7138</S>, And the joy<S>8057</S> of the godless<S>2611</S> but for a moment<S>7281</S>?


text:
Though his height<S>7863</S> mount up<S>5927</S> to the heavens<S>8064</S>, And his head<S>7218</S> reach<S>5060</S> unto the clouds<S>5645</S>;


text:
Yet he shall perish<S>6</S> for ever<S>5331</S> like his own dung<S>1561</S>: They that have seen<S>7200</S> him shall say<S>559</S>, Where is he<S>335</S>?


text:
He shall fly away<S>5774</S> as a dream<S>2472</S>, and shall not be found<S>4672</S>: Yea<S>5074</S>, he shall be chased away as a vision<S>2384</S> of the night<S>3915</S>.


text:
The eye<S>5869</S> which saw<S>7805</S> him shall see him no more<S>3254</S>; Neither shall his place<S>4725</S> any more behold him<S>7789</S>.


text:
Their bull<S>7794</S> gendereth<S>5674</S>, and faileth<S>1602</S> not<S>6510</S>; Their cow calveth<S>6403</S>, and casteth not her calf<S>7921</S>.


text:
They send forth<S>7971</S> their little ones<S>5759</S> like a flock<S>6629</S>, And their children<S>3206</S> dance<S>7540</S>.

They sing<S>5375</S> to the timbrel<S>8596</S> and harp<S>3658</S>, And rejoice<S>8055</S> at the sound<S>6963</S> of the pipe<S>5748</S>.


text:
They spend<S>3615</S> their days<S>3117</S> in prosperity<S>2896</S>, And in a moment<S>7281</S> they go down<S>2865</S> to Sheol<S>7585</S>.


text:
And they say<S>559</S> unto God<S>410</S>, Depart<S>5493</S> from us<S>2654</S>; For we desire not the knowledge<S>1847</S> of thy ways<S>1870</S>.


text:
What is the Almighty<S>7706</S>, that we should serve<S>5647</S> him<S>3276</S>? And what profit should we have<S>6293</S>, if we pray unto him?


text:
Lo<S>2898</S>, their prosperity is not in their hand<S>3027</S>: The counsel<S>6098</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S> is far from me<S>7368</S>.


text:
How oft is it that the lamp<S>5216</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S> is put out<S>1846</S>? That their calamity<S>343</S> cometh<S>935</S> upon them<S>2505</S>? That God distributeth sorrows<S>2256</S> in his anger<S>639</S>?


text:
That they are as stubble<S>8401</S> before<S>6440</S> the wind<S>7307</S>, And as chaff<S>4671</S> that the storm<S>5492</S> carrieth away<S>1589</S>?


text:
Ye say<S>433</S>, God layeth up<S>6845</S> his iniquity<S>205</S> for his children<S>1121</S>. Let him recompense<S>7999</S> it unto himself<S>3045</S>, that he may know it:


text:
Hear<S>8085</S> diligently<S>8085</S> my speech<S>4405</S>; And let this be your consolations<S>8575</S>.


text:
Let his own eyes<S>5869</S> see<S>7200</S> his destruction<S>3589</S>, And let him drink<S>8354</S> of the wrath<S>2534</S> of the Almighty<S>7706</S>.


text:
For what careth<S>2656</S> he for his house<S>1004</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>4557</S>, When the number of his months<S>2320</S> is cut off<S>2686</S>?


text:
Shall any teach<S>3925</S> God<S>410</S> knowledge<S>1847</S>, Seeing he judgeth<S>8199</S> those that are high<S>7311</S>?


text:
One dieth<S>4191</S> in his full<S>8537</S> strength<S>6106</S>, Being wholly at ease<S>7946</S> and quiet<S>7961</S>:


text:
His pails<S>5845</S> are full<S>4390</S> of milk<S>2461</S>, And the marrow<S>4221</S> of his bones<S>6106</S> is moistened<S>8248</S>.


text:
And another dieth<S>4191</S> in bitterness<S>4751</S> of soul<S>5315</S>, And never tasteth<S>398</S> of good<S>2896</S>.


text:
They lie down<S>7901</S> alike<S>3162</S> in the dust<S>6083</S>, And the worm<S>7415</S> covereth them<S>3680</S>.


text:
Behold<S>3045</S>, I know your thoughts<S>4284</S>, And the devices<S>4209</S> wherewith ye would wrong me<S>2554</S>.


text:
For ye say<S>559</S>, Where is the house<S>1004</S> of the prince<S>5081</S>? And where is the tent<S>4908</S> wherein the wicked<S>7563</S> dwelt<S>4908</S>?


text:
Have ye not asked<S>7592</S> wayfaring<S>1870</S> men<S>5674</S>? And do ye not know<S>5234</S> their evidences<S>226</S>,


text:
Suffer<S>5375</S> me<S>1696</S>, and I also will speak; And after<S>310</S> that I have spoken<S>1696</S>, mock on<S>3932</S>.


text:
That the evil<S>7451</S> man is reserved<S>2820</S> to the day<S>3117</S> of calamity<S>343</S>? That they are led forth<S>2986</S> to the day<S>3117</S> of wrath<S>5678</S>?


text:
Who shall declare<S>5046</S> his way<S>1870</S> to his face<S>6440</S>? And who shall repay<S>7999</S> him what he hath done<S>6213</S>?


text:
Yet shall he be borne<S>2986</S> to the grave<S>6913</S>, And men shall keep watch<S>8245</S> over the tomb<S>1430</S>.


text:
The clods<S>7263</S> of the valley<S>5158</S> shall be sweet<S>4985</S> unto him<S>120</S>, And all men shall draw<S>4900</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>4557</S>, As there were innumerable before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
How then comfort<S>5162</S> ye me in vain<S>1892</S>, Seeing in your answers<S>8666</S> there remaineth<S>7604</S> only falsehood<S>4604</S>?


text:
As for me<S>7879</S>, is my complaint to man<S>120</S>? And why should I<S>7307</S> not be impatient<S>7114</S>?


text:
480<S>6437</S> me<S>8074</S>, and be astonished, And lay<S>7760</S> your hand<S>3027</S> upon your mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
Even when I remember<S>2142</S> I am troubled<S>926</S>, And horror<S>6427</S> taketh hold on<S>270</S> my flesh<S>1320</S>.


text:
Wherefore do the wicked<S>7563</S> live<S>2421</S>, Become old<S>6275</S>, yea<S>1396</S>, wax mighty in power<S>2428</S>?


text:
Their seed<S>2233</S> is established<S>3559</S> with them in their sight<S>6440</S>, And their offspring<S>6631</S> before their eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
Their houses<S>1004</S> are safe<S>7965</S> from fear<S>6343</S>, Neither is the rod<S>7626</S> of God upon them<S>433</S>.


text:
Therefore snares<S>6341</S> are round about<S>5439</S> thee<S>6597</S>, And sudden fear<S>6343</S> troubleth thee<S>926</S>,


text:
Or darkness<S>2822</S>, so that thou canst not see<S>7200</S>, And abundance<S>8229</S> of waters<S>4325</S> cover thee<S>3680</S>.


text:
Is not God<S>433</S> in the height<S>1363</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>? And behold<S>7200</S> the height<S>7218</S> of the stars<S>3556</S>, how high they are<S>7311</S>!


text:
And thou sayest<S>559</S>, What doth God<S>410</S> know<S>3045</S>? Can he judge<S>8199</S> through the thick darkness<S>6205</S>?


text:
Thick clouds<S>5645</S> are a covering<S>5643</S> to him<S>7200</S>, so that he seeth not<S>1980</S>; And he walketh on the vault<S>2329</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
Wilt thou keep<S>8104</S> the old<S>5769</S> way<S>734</S> Which wicked<S>205</S> men<S>4962</S> have trodden<S>1869</S>?


text:
Who were snatched away<S>7059</S> before their time<S>6256</S>, Whose foundation<S>3247</S> was poured<S>3332</S> out as a stream<S>5104</S>,


text:
Who said<S>559</S> unto God<S>410</S>, Depart<S>5493</S> from us<S>7706</S>; And, What can the Almighty do for us<S>6466</S>?


text:
Yet he filled<S>4390</S> their houses<S>1004</S> with good<S>2896</S> things<S>6098</S>: But the counsel of the wicked<S>7563</S> is far from me<S>7368</S>.


text:
The righteous<S>6662</S> see<S>7200</S> it<S>8055</S>, and are glad; And the innocent<S>5355</S> laugh them to scorn<S>3932</S>,


text:
Can a man<S>1397</S> be profitable<S>5532</S> unto God<S>410</S>? Surely<S>3588</S> he that is wise<S>7919</S> is profitable unto himself<S>5532</S>.


text:
Saying<S>518</S>, Surely they that did rise up against<S>7009</S> us are cut off<S>3582</S>, And the remnant<S>3499</S> of them the fire<S>784</S> hath consumed<S>398</S>.


text:
Acquaint<S>5532</S> now thyself with him<S>7999</S>, and be at peace: Thereby good<S>2896</S> shall come unto thee<S>935</S>.


text:
Receive<S>3947</S>, I pray thee<S>8451</S>, the law from his mouth<S>6310</S>, And lay up<S>7760</S> his words<S>561</S> in thy heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
If thou return<S>7725</S> to the Almighty<S>7706</S>, thou shalt be built up<S>1129</S>, If thou put away<S>7368</S> unrighteousness<S>5766</S> far<S>7368</S> from thy tents<S>168</S>.


text:
And lay<S>7896</S> thou thy treasure<S>1220</S> in<S>5921</S> the dust<S>6083</S>, And the gold of Ophir<S>211</S> among the stones<S>6697</S> of the brooks<S>5158</S>;


text:
And the Almighty<S>7706</S> will be thy treasure<S>1220</S>, And precious<S>8443</S> silver unto thee<S>3701</S>.


text:
For then shalt thou delight<S>6026</S> thyself in the Almighty<S>7706</S>, And shalt lift up<S>5375</S> thy face<S>6440</S> unto God<S>433</S>.


text:
Thou shalt make thy prayer<S>6279</S> unto him<S>8085</S>, and he will hear thee<S>7999</S>; And thou shalt pay thy vows<S>5088</S>.


text:
Thou shalt also decree<S>1504</S> a thing<S>562</S>, and it shall be established<S>6965</S> unto thee<S>216</S>; And light shall shine<S>5050</S> upon thy ways<S>1870</S>.


text:
When they cast thee down<S>8213</S>, thou shalt say<S>559</S>, There is lifting up<S>1466</S>; And the humble<S>7807</S> person<S>5869</S> he will save<S>3467</S>.


text:
Is it any pleasure<S>2656</S> to the Almighty<S>7706</S>, that thou art righteous<S>6663</S>? Or is it gain<S>1215</S> to him<S>1870</S>, that thou makest thy ways perfect<S>8552</S>?


text:
He will deliver<S>4422</S> even him<S>336</S> that is not innocent<S>5355</S>: Yea<S>4422</S>, he shall be delivered through the cleanness<S>1252</S> of thy hands<S>3709</S>.


text:
Is it for thy fear<S>3374</S> of him that he reproveth<S>3198</S> thee<S>935</S>, That he entereth with thee into judgment<S>4941</S>?


text:
Is not thy wickedness<S>7451</S> great<S>7227</S>? Neither is there any end<S>7093</S> to thine iniquities<S>5771</S>.


text:
For thou hast taken pledges<S>2254</S> of thy brother<S>251</S> for nought<S>2600</S>, And stripped<S>6584</S> the naked<S>6174</S> of their clothing<S>899</S>.


text:
Thou hast not given water<S>4325</S> to the weary<S>5889</S> to drink<S>8248</S>, And thou hast withholden<S>4513</S> bread<S>3899</S> from the hungry<S>7457</S>.


text:
But as for the mighty<S>2220</S> man<S>376</S>, he had the earth<S>776</S>; And the honorable man<S>5375</S>, he dwelt in it<S>3427</S>.


text:
Thou hast sent<S>7971</S> widows<S>490</S> away empty<S>7387</S>, And the arms<S>2220</S> of the fatherless<S>3490</S> have been broken<S>1792</S>.


text:
But he knoweth<S>3045</S> the way<S>1870</S> that I take<S>5978</S>; When he hath tried<S>974</S> me<S>3318</S>, I shall come forth as gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
My foot<S>7272</S> hath held<S>270</S> fast to his steps<S>838</S>; His way<S>1870</S> have I kept<S>8104</S>, and turned not aside<S>5186</S>.


text:
I have not gone back<S>4185</S> from the commandment<S>4687</S> of his lips<S>8193</S>; I have treasured<S>6845</S> up the words<S>561</S> of his mouth<S>6310</S> more than my necessary food<S>2706</S>.


text:
But he is in one<S>259</S> mind<S>7725</S>, and who can turn him<S>5315</S>? And what his soul desireth<S>183</S>, even that he doeth<S>6213</S>.


text:
For he performeth<S>7999</S> that which is appointed<S>2706</S> for me<S>7227</S>: And many such things are with him<S>2007</S>.


text:
Therefore am I terrified<S>926</S> at his presence<S>6440</S>; When I consider<S>995</S>, I am afraid of him<S>6342</S>.


text:
For God<S>410</S> hath made my heart<S>3820</S> faint<S>7401</S>, And the Almighty<S>7706</S> hath terrified me<S>926</S>;


text:
Because I was not cut off<S>6789</S> before<S>6440</S> the darkness<S>2822</S>, Neither did he cover<S>3680</S> the thick darkness<S>652</S> from my face<S>6440</S>.


text:
Even to-day<S>3117</S> is my complaint<S>7879</S> rebellious<S>4805</S>: My stroke<S>3027</S> is heavier<S>3513</S> than my groaning<S>585</S>.


text:
Oh that<S>5414</S> I knew<S>3045</S> where I might find<S>4672</S> him<S>935</S>! That I might come even to his seat<S>8499</S>!


text:
I would set my cause<S>4941</S> in order<S>6186</S> before<S>6440</S> him<S>4390</S>, And fill my mouth<S>6310</S> with arguments<S>8433</S>.


text:
I would know<S>3045</S> the words<S>4405</S> which he would answer<S>6030</S> me<S>995</S>, And understand what he would say unto me<S>559</S>.


text:
Would he contend<S>7378</S> with<S>5978</S> me in the greatness<S>7230</S> of his power<S>3581</S>? Nay<S>7760</S>; but he would give heed unto me.


text:
There the upright<S>3477</S> might reason<S>3198</S> with him<S>6403</S>; So should I be delivered for ever<S>5331</S> from my judge<S>8199</S>.


text:
Behold<S>1980</S>, I go forward<S>6924</S>, but he is not there<S>268</S>; And backward, but I cannot perceive him<S>995</S>;


text:
On the left hand<S>8040</S>, when he doth work<S>6213</S>, but I cannot behold<S>2372</S> him<S>5848</S>; He hideth himself on the right hand<S>3225</S>, that I cannot see him<S>7200</S>.


text:
Why are times<S>6256</S> not laid up<S>6845</S> by the Almighty<S>7706</S>? And why do not they that know<S>3045</S> him see<S>2372</S> his days<S>3117</S>?


text:
So that they go<S>1980</S> about naked<S>6174</S> without clothing<S>3830</S>, And being hungry<S>7457</S> they carry<S>5375</S> the sheaves<S>6016</S>.


text:
They make oil<S>6671</S> within<S>996</S> the walls<S>7791</S> of these men<S>1869</S>; They tread their winepresses<S>3342</S>, and suffer thirst<S>6770</S>.


text:
From out of the populous city<S>5892</S> men<S>4962</S> groan<S>5008</S>, And the soul<S>5315</S> of the wounded<S>2491</S> crieth out<S>7768</S>: Yet God<S>433</S> regardeth<S>7760</S> not the folly<S>8604</S>.


text:
These are of them that rebel<S>4775</S> against the light<S>216</S>; They know<S>5234</S> not the ways<S>1870</S> thereof<S>3427</S>, Nor abide in the paths thereof<S>5410</S>.


text:
The murderer<S>7523</S> riseth<S>6965</S> with the light<S>216</S>; He killeth<S>6991</S> the poor<S>6041</S> and needy<S>6041</S>; And in the night<S>3915</S> he is as a thief<S>1590</S>.


text:
The eye<S>5869</S> also of the adulterer<S>5003</S> waiteth<S>8104</S> for the twilight<S>5399</S>, Saying<S>559</S>, No eye<S>5869</S> shall see<S>7789</S> me<S>5643</S>: And he disguiseth his face<S>6440</S>.


text:
In the dark<S>2822</S> they dig through<S>2864</S> houses<S>1004</S>: They shut<S>2856</S> themselves up in the day-time<S>3119</S>; They know<S>3045</S> not the light<S>216</S>.


text:
For the morning<S>1242</S> is to all of them as<S>3162</S> thick darkness<S>6757</S>; For they know<S>5234</S> the terrors<S>1091</S> of the thick darkness<S>6757</S>.


text:
Swiftly they pass away<S>7031</S> upon the face of the waters<S>6440</S>; Their portion<S>2513</S> is cursed<S>7043</S> in the earth<S>776</S>: They turn<S>6437</S> not into the way<S>1870</S> of the vineyards<S>3754</S>.


text:
Drought<S>6723</S> and heat<S>2527</S> consume<S>1497</S> the snow<S>7950</S> waters<S>4325</S>: So doth Sheol<S>7585</S> those that have sinned<S>2398</S>.


text:
There are that remove<S>5381</S> the landmarks<S>1367</S>; They violently take away<S>1497</S> flocks<S>5739</S>, and feed them<S>7462</S>.


text:
The womb<S>7358</S> shall forget<S>7911</S> him<S>7415</S>; The worm shall feed sweetly<S>4988</S> on him<S>2142</S>; He shall be no more remembered; And unrighteousness<S>5766</S> shall be broken<S>7665</S> as a tree<S>6086</S>.


text:
He devoureth<S>7462</S> the barren<S>6135</S> that beareth<S>3205</S> not<S>3190</S>, And doeth not good to the widow<S>490</S>.


text:
Yet God preserveth<S>4900</S> the mighty<S>47</S> by his power<S>3581</S>: He riseth up<S>6965</S> that hath no assurance<S>539</S> of life<S>2416</S>.


text:
God giveth<S>5414</S> them to be in security<S>983</S>, and they rest<S>8172</S> thereon<S>5869</S>; And his eyes are upon their ways<S>1870</S>.


text:
They are exalted<S>7426</S>; yet a little while<S>4592</S>, and they are gone<S>4355</S>; Yea, they are brought low, they are taken out<S>7092</S> of the way<S>1870</S> as all others<S>5243</S>, And are cut off as the tops<S>7218</S> of the ears of grain<S>7641</S>.


text:
And if it be not so now<S>645</S>, who will prove<S>7760</S> me a liar<S>3576</S>, And make<S>7760</S> my speech<S>4405</S> nothing worth<S>408</S>?


text:
They drive away<S>5090</S> the ass<S>2543</S> of the fatherless<S>3490</S>; They take<S>2254</S> the widow<S>490</S>'s ox<S>7794</S> for a pledge<S>2254</S>.


text:
They turn<S>5186</S> the needy<S>34</S> out of the way<S>1870</S>: The poor<S>6041</S> of the earth<S>776</S> all<S>3162</S> hide themselves<S>2244</S>.


text:
Behold<S>6501</S>, as wild asses in the desert<S>4057</S> They go forth<S>3318</S> to their work<S>6467</S>, seeking diligently<S>7836</S> for food<S>2964</S>; The wilderness<S>6160</S> yieldeth them bread<S>3899</S> for their children<S>5288</S>.


text:
They cut<S>7114</S> their provender<S>1098</S> in the field<S>7704</S>; And they glean<S>3953</S> the vintage<S>3754</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S>.


text:
They lie all night<S>3885</S> naked<S>6174</S> without clothing<S>3830</S>, And have no covering<S>3682</S> in the cold<S>7135</S>.


text:
They are wet<S>7372</S> with the showers<S>2230</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S>, And embrace<S>2263</S> the rock<S>6697</S> for want of a shelter<S>4268</S>.

There are that pluck<S>1497</S> the fatherless<S>3490</S> from the breast<S>7699</S>, And take a pledge<S>2254</S> of the poor<S>6041</S>;


text:
Dominion<S>4910</S> and fear<S>6343</S> are with him<S>6213</S>; He maketh peace<S>7965</S> in his high places<S>4791</S>.


text:
Is there<S>3426</S> any number<S>4557</S> of his armies<S>1416</S>? And upon whom doth not his light<S>216</S> arise<S>6965</S>?


text:
How then can man<S>582</S> be just<S>6663</S> with God<S>410</S>? Or how can he be clean<S>2135</S> that is born<S>3205</S> of a woman<S>802</S>?


text:
Behold<S>3394</S>, even the moon hath no brightness<S>166</S>, And the stars<S>3556</S> are not pure<S>2141</S> in his sight<S>5869</S>:


text:
How much less man<S>582</S>, that is a worm<S>7415</S>! And the son<S>1121</S> of man<S>120</S>, that is a worm<S>8438</S>!


text:
He hath described<S>2328</S> a boundary<S>2706</S> upon the face of the waters<S>6440</S>, Unto the confines<S>8503</S> of light<S>216</S> and darkness<S>2822</S>.


text:
The pillars<S>5982</S> of heaven<S>8064</S> tremble<S>7322</S> And are astonished<S>8539</S> at his rebuke<S>1606</S>.


text:
He stirreth<S>7280</S> up the sea<S>3220</S> with his power<S>3581</S>, And by his understanding<S>8394</S> he smiteth<S>4272</S> through Rahab<S>7293</S>.


text:
By his Spirit<S>7307</S> the heavens<S>8064</S> are garnished<S>8235</S>; His hand<S>3027</S> hath pierced<S>2342</S> the swift<S>1281</S> serpent<S>5175</S>.


text:
Lo<S>7098</S>, these are but the outskirts of his ways<S>1870</S>: And how small<S>8102</S> a whisper<S>1697</S> do we hear<S>8085</S> of him<S>7482</S>! But the thunder of his power<S>1369</S> who can understand<S>995</S>?


text:
How hast thou helped<S>5826</S> him that is without power<S>3581</S>! How hast thou saved<S>3467</S> the arm<S>2220</S> that hath no<S>3808</S> strength<S>5797</S>!


text:
How hast thou counselled<S>3289</S> him that hath no<S>3808</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>, And plentifully<S>7230</S> declared<S>3045</S> sound knowledge<S>8454</S>!


text:
To whom hast thou uttered<S>5046</S> words<S>4405</S>? And whose spirit<S>5397</S> came forth from thee<S>3318</S>?


text:
They that are deceased<S>7496</S> tremble<S>2342</S> Beneath the waters<S>4325</S> and the inhabitants thereof<S>7931</S>.


text:
He stretcheth out<S>5186</S> the north<S>6828</S> over empty space<S>8414</S>, And hangeth<S>8518</S> the earth<S>776</S> upon nothing<S>1099</S>.


text:
He bindeth up<S>6887</S> the waters<S>4325</S> in his thick clouds<S>5645</S>; And the cloud<S>6051</S> is not rent under them<S>1234</S>.


text:
He incloseth<S>270</S> the face<S>6440</S> of his throne<S>3678</S>, And spreadeth<S>6576</S> his cloud upon it<S>6051</S>.


text:
Will he delight<S>6026</S> himself in the Almighty<S>7706</S>, And call<S>7121</S> upon God<S>433</S> at all times<S>6256</S>?


text:
I will teach<S>3384</S> you concerning the hand<S>3027</S> of God<S>410</S>; That which is with the Almighty<S>7706</S> will I not conceal<S>3582</S>.


text:
Behold<S>2372</S>, all ye yourselves have seen it<S>1892</S>; Why then are ye become altogether vain<S>1891</S>?


text:
This is the portion<S>2506</S> of a wicked<S>7563</S> man<S>120</S> with God<S>410</S>, And the heritage<S>5159</S> of oppressors<S>6184</S>, which they receive<S>3947</S> from the Almighty<S>7706</S>:


text:
If his children<S>1121</S> be multiplied<S>7235</S>, it is for<S>3926</S> the sword<S>2719</S>; And his offspring<S>6631</S> shall not be satisfied<S>7646</S> with bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
Those that remain<S>8300</S> of him shall be buried<S>6912</S> in death<S>4194</S>, And his widows<S>490</S> shall make no lamentation<S>1058</S>.


text:
Though he heap up<S>6651</S> silver<S>3701</S> as the dust<S>6083</S>, And prepare<S>3559</S> raiment<S>4403</S> as the clay<S>2563</S>;


text:
He may prepare<S>3559</S> it<S>6662</S>, but the just shall put it on<S>3847</S>, And the innocent<S>5355</S> shall divide<S>2505</S> the silver<S>3701</S>.


text:
He buildeth<S>1129</S> his house<S>1004</S> as the moth<S>6211</S>, And as a booth<S>5521</S> which the keeper<S>5341</S> maketh<S>6213</S>.


text:
He lieth down<S>7901</S> rich<S>6223</S>, but he shall not be gathered<S>622</S> to his fathers<S>6491</S>; He openeth his eyes<S>5869</S>, and he is not.


text:
As God<S>410</S> liveth<S>2416</S>, who hath taken away<S>5493</S> my right<S>4941</S>, And the Almighty<S>7706</S>, who hath vexed<S>4843</S> my soul<S>5315</S>:


text:
Terrors<S>1091</S> overtake<S>5381</S> him like waters<S>4325</S>; A tempest<S>5492</S> stealeth him away<S>1589</S> in the night<S>3915</S>.


text:
The east<S>6921</S> wind carrieth him away<S>5375</S>, and he departeth<S>3212</S>; And it sweepeth<S>8175</S> him out of his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
For God shall hurl<S>7993</S> at him<S>2550</S>, and not spare: He would fain<S>1272</S> flee<S>1272</S> out of his hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Men shall clap<S>5606</S> their hands<S>3709</S> at him<S>8319</S>, And shall hiss him out of his place<S>4725</S>.


text:
(For my life<S>5397</S> is yet whole<S>5750</S> in me<S>7307</S>, And the spirit of God<S>433</S> is in my nostrils<S>639</S>);


text:
Surely my lips<S>8193</S> shall not speak<S>1696</S> unrighteousness<S>5766</S>, Neither shall my tongue<S>3956</S> utter<S>1897</S> deceit<S>7423</S>.


text:
Far be it<S>2486</S> from me that I should justify<S>6663</S> you<S>1478</S>: Till I die I will not put away<S>5493</S> mine integrity from me<S>8538</S>.


text:
My righteousness<S>6666</S> I hold<S>2388</S> fast<S>7503</S>, and will not let it go: My heart<S>3824</S> shall not reproach<S>2778</S> me so long as I live<S>3117</S>.


text:
Let mine enemy<S>341</S> be as the wicked<S>7563</S>, And let him that riseth up<S>6965</S> against me be as the unrighteous<S>5767</S>.


text:
For what is the hope<S>8615</S> of the godless<S>2611</S>, though he get him gain<S>1214</S>, When God<S>433</S> taketh away<S>7953</S> his soul<S>5315</S>?


text:
Will God<S>410</S> hear<S>8085</S> his cry<S>6818</S>, When trouble<S>6869</S> cometh upon him<S>935</S>?


text:
Surely<S>3426</S> there is a mine<S>4161</S> for silver<S>3701</S>, And a place<S>4725</S> for gold<S>2091</S> which they refine<S>2212</S>.


text:
He cutteth out<S>1234</S> channels<S>2975</S> among the rocks<S>6697</S>; And his eye<S>5869</S> seeth<S>7200</S> every precious thing<S>3366</S>.


text:
He bindeth<S>2280</S> the streams<S>5104</S> that they trickle<S>1065</S> not<S>8587</S>; And the thing that is hid bringeth he forth<S>3318</S> to light<S>216</S>.


text:
But where<S>370</S> shall wisdom<S>2451</S> be found<S>4672</S>? And where is the place<S>4725</S> of understanding<S>998</S>?


text:
Man<S>582</S> knoweth<S>3045</S> not the price<S>6187</S> thereof<S>4672</S>; Neither is it found in the land<S>776</S> of the living<S>2416</S>.


text:
The deep<S>8415</S> saith<S>559</S>, It is not in me<S>3220</S>; And the sea saith<S>559</S>, It is not with me.


text:
It cannot be gotten<S>5414</S> for gold<S>5458</S>, Neither shall silver<S>3701</S> be weighed<S>8254</S> for the price thereof<S>4242</S>.


text:
It cannot be valued<S>5541</S> with the gold<S>3800</S> of Ophir<S>211</S>, With the precious<S>3368</S> onyx<S>7718</S>, or the sapphire<S>5601</S>.


text:
Gold<S>2091</S> and glass<S>2137</S> cannot equal<S>6186</S> it<S>8545</S>, Neither shall it be exchanged for jewels<S>3627</S> of fine gold<S>6337</S>.


text:
No mention<S>2142</S> shall be made of coral<S>7215</S> or of crystal<S>1378</S>: Yea<S>4901</S>, the price of wisdom<S>2451</S> is above rubies<S>6443</S>.


text:
The topaz<S>6357</S> of Ethiopia<S>3568</S> shall not equal<S>6186</S> it<S>5541</S>, Neither shall it be valued with pure<S>2889</S> gold<S>3800</S>.


text:
Iron<S>1270</S> is taken<S>3947</S> out of the earth<S>6083</S>, And copper<S>5154</S> is molten<S>6694</S> out of the stone<S>68</S>.


text:
Whence<S>370</S> then cometh<S>935</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>? And where is the place<S>4725</S> of understanding<S>998</S>?


text:
Seeing it is hid<S>5956</S> from the eyes<S>5869</S> of all living<S>2416</S>, And kept close<S>5641</S> from the birds<S>5775</S> of the heavens<S>8064</S>.


text:
Destruction<S>11</S> and Death<S>4194</S> say<S>559</S>, We have heard<S>8085</S> a rumor<S>8088</S> thereof with our ears<S>241</S>.


text:
God<S>430</S> understandeth<S>995</S> the way<S>1870</S> thereof<S>3045</S>, And he knoweth the place thereof<S>4725</S>.


text:
For he looketh<S>5027</S> to the ends<S>7098</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, And seeth<S>7200</S> under the whole heaven<S>8064</S>;


text:
To make<S>6213</S> a weight<S>4948</S> for the wind<S>7307</S>: Yea<S>8505</S>, he meteth out the waters<S>4325</S> by measure<S>4060</S>.


text:
When he made<S>6213</S> a decree<S>2706</S> for the rain<S>4306</S>, And a way<S>1870</S> for the lightning<S>2385</S> of the thunder<S>6963</S>;


text:
Then did he see<S>7200</S> it<S>5608</S>, and declare it<S>3559</S>; He established it<S>2713</S>, yea, and searched it out.


text:
And unto man<S>120</S> he said<S>559</S>, Behold<S>3374</S>, the fear of the Lord<S>136</S>, that is wisdom<S>2451</S>; And to depart<S>5493</S> from evil<S>7451</S> is understanding<S>998</S>.


text:
Man setteth<S>7760</S> an end<S>7093</S> to darkness<S>2822</S>, And searcheth out<S>2713</S>, to the furthest bound<S>8503</S>, The stones<S>68</S> of obscurity<S>652</S> and of thick darkness<S>6757</S>.


text:
He breaketh open<S>6555</S> a shaft<S>5158</S> away from where men sojourn<S>1481</S>; They are forgotten<S>7911</S> of the foot<S>7272</S>; They hang<S>1809</S> afar<S>5128</S> from men<S>582</S>, they swing to and fro.


text:
As for the earth<S>776</S>, out of it cometh<S>3318</S> bread<S>3899</S>; And underneath it is turned up<S>2015</S> as it were by fire<S>784</S>.


text:
The stones<S>68</S> thereof are the place<S>4725</S> of sapphires<S>5601</S>, And it hath dust<S>6083</S> of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
That path<S>5410</S> no bird<S>5861</S> of prey knoweth<S>3045</S>, Neither hath the falcon<S>344</S>'s eye<S>5869</S> seen it<S>7805</S>:


text:
The proud<S>7830</S> beasts<S>1121</S> have not trodden<S>1869</S> it<S>7826</S>, Nor hath the fierce lion passed thereby<S>5710</S>.


text:
He putteth forth<S>7971</S> his hand<S>3027</S> upon the flinty rock<S>2496</S>; He overturneth<S>2015</S> the mountains<S>2022</S> by the roots<S>8328</S>.


text:
The voice<S>2244</S> of the nobles<S>5057</S> was hushed<S>6963</S>, And their tongue<S>3956</S> cleaved<S>1692</S> to the roof of their mouth<S>2441</S>.


text:
For when the ear<S>241</S> heard<S>8085</S> me<S>833</S>, then it blessed me<S>5869</S>; And when the eye saw<S>7200</S> me<S>5749</S>, it gave witness unto me:


text:
Because I delivered<S>4422</S> the poor<S>6041</S> that cried<S>7768</S>, The fatherless<S>3490</S> also<S>5826</S>, that had none to help him.


text:
The blessing<S>1293</S> of him that was ready to perish<S>6</S> came<S>935</S> upon me<S>490</S>; And I caused the widow's heart<S>3820</S> to sing for joy<S>7442</S>.


text:
I put<S>3847</S> on righteousness<S>6664</S>, and it clothed<S>3847</S> me<S>4941</S>: My justice was as a robe<S>4598</S> and a diadem<S>6797</S>.


text:
I was a father<S>1</S> to the needy<S>34</S>: And the cause<S>7379</S> of him that I knew<S>3045</S> not I searched out<S>2713</S>.


text:
And I brake<S>7665</S> the jaws<S>4973</S> of the unrighteous<S>5767</S>, And plucked<S>7993</S> the prey<S>2964</S> out of his teeth<S>8127</S>.


text:
Then I said<S>559</S>, I shall die<S>1478</S> in my nest<S>7064</S>, And I shall multiply<S>7235</S> my days<S>3117</S> as the sand<S>2344</S>:


text:
My root<S>8328</S> is spread out<S>6605</S> to the waters<S>4325</S>, And the dew<S>2919</S> lieth all night<S>3885</S> upon my branch<S>7105</S>;


text:
Oh that<S>5414</S> I were as in the months<S>3391</S> of old<S>6924</S>, As in the days<S>3117</S> when God<S>433</S> watched over me<S>8104</S>;


text:
My glory<S>3519</S> is fresh<S>2319</S> in me<S>5978</S>, And my bow<S>7198</S> is renewed<S>2498</S> in my hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
Unto me men gave ear<S>8085</S>, and waited<S>3176</S>, And kept silence<S>1826</S> for<S>3926</S> my counsel<S>6098</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> my words<S>1697</S> they spake not again<S>8138</S>; And my speech<S>4405</S> distilled upon them<S>5197</S>.


text:
And they waited<S>3176</S> for me as for the rain<S>4306</S>; And they opened<S>6473</S> their mouth<S>6310</S> wide as for the latter rain<S>4456</S>.


text:
I smiled<S>7832</S> on them<S>539</S>, when they had no confidence; And the light<S>216</S> of my countenance<S>6440</S> they cast not down<S>5307</S>.


text:
I chose<S>977</S> out their way<S>1870</S>, and sat<S>3427</S> as chief<S>7218</S>, And dwelt<S>7931</S> as a king<S>4428</S> in the army<S>1416</S>, As one that comforteth<S>5162</S> the mourners<S>57</S>.


text:
When his lamp<S>5216</S> shined<S>1984</S> upon my head<S>7218</S>, And by his light<S>216</S> I walked<S>3212</S> through darkness<S>2822</S>;


text:
As I was in the ripeness<S>2779</S> of my days<S>3117</S>, When the friendship<S>5475</S> of God<S>433</S> was upon my tent<S>168</S>;


text:
When my steps<S>1978</S> were washed<S>7364</S> with butter<S>2529</S>, And the rock<S>6697</S> poured me out<S>6694</S> streams<S>6388</S> of oil<S>8081</S>!


text:
When I went forth<S>3318</S> to the gate<S>8179</S> unto the city<S>7176</S>, When I prepared<S>3559</S> my seat<S>4186</S> in the street<S>7339</S>,


text:
The young men<S>5288</S> saw<S>7200</S> me and hid<S>2244</S> themselves<S>3453</S>, And the aged rose up<S>6965</S> and stood<S>5975</S>;


text:
The princes<S>8269</S> refrained<S>6113</S> from talking<S>4405</S>, And laid<S>7760</S> their hand<S>3709</S> on their mouth<S>6310</S>;


text:
After<S>310</S> this opened<S>6605</S> Job<S>347</S> his mouth<S>6310</S>, and cursed<S>7043</S> his day<S>3117</S>.


text:
Because it shut not up<S>5462</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of my mother<S>990</S>'s womb, Nor hid<S>5641</S> trouble<S>5999</S> from mine eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
Why died<S>4191</S> I not from the womb<S>7358</S>? Why did I not give up the ghost<S>1478</S> when my mother<S>990</S> bare me<S>3318</S>?


text:
Why did the knees<S>1290</S> receive<S>6923</S> me<S>7699</S>? Or why the breast, that I should suck<S>3243</S>?


text:
For now should I have lain down<S>7901</S> and been quiet<S>8252</S>; I should have slept<S>3462</S>; then had I been at rest<S>5117</S>,


text:
With kings<S>4428</S> and counsellors<S>3289</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, Who built<S>1129</S> up waste places for themselves<S>2723</S>;


text:
Or with princes<S>8269</S> that had gold<S>2091</S>, Who filled<S>4390</S> their houses<S>1004</S> with silver<S>3701</S>:


text:
Or as a hidden<S>2934</S> untimely birth<S>5309</S> I had not been<S>5768</S>, As infants that never saw<S>7200</S> light<S>216</S>.


text:
There the wicked<S>7563</S> cease<S>2308</S> from troubling<S>7267</S>; And there the weary<S>3019</S> are at rest<S>5117</S>.


text:
There the prisoners<S>615</S> are at ease<S>7599</S> together<S>3162</S>; They hear<S>8085</S> not the voice<S>6963</S> of the taskmaster<S>5065</S>.


text:
The small<S>6996</S> and the great<S>1419</S> are there<S>5650</S>: And the servant is free<S>2670</S> from his master<S>113</S>.


text:
Wherefore is light<S>216</S> given<S>5414</S> to him that is in misery<S>6001</S>, And life<S>2416</S> unto the bitter<S>4751</S> in soul<S>5315</S>;


text:
Who long<S>2442</S> for death<S>4194</S>, but it cometh not<S>2658</S>, And dig for it more than for hid treasures<S>4301</S>;


text:
Who rejoice<S>8056</S> exceedingly<S>1524</S>, And are glad<S>7797</S>, when they can find<S>4672</S> the grave<S>6913</S>?


text:
Why is light given to a man<S>1397</S> whose way<S>1870</S> is hid<S>5641</S>, And whom God<S>433</S> hath hedged in<S>5526</S>?


text:
For my sighing<S>585</S> cometh<S>935</S> before<S>6440</S> I eat<S>3899</S>, And my groanings<S>7581</S> are poured out<S>5413</S> like water<S>4325</S>.


text:
For the thing which I fear<S>6342</S> cometh<S>857</S> upon me<S>3025</S>, And that which I am afraid of cometh unto me<S>935</S>.


text:
I am not at ease<S>8252</S>, neither am I quiet<S>8252</S>, neither have I rest<S>8252</S>; But trouble<S>7267</S> cometh<S>935</S>.


text:
Let the day<S>3117</S> perish<S>6</S> wherein I was born<S>3205</S>, And the night<S>3915</S> which said<S>559</S>, There is a man-child<S>1397</S> conceived<S>2029</S>.


text:
Let that day<S>3117</S> be darkness<S>2822</S>; Let not God<S>433</S> from above<S>4605</S> seek<S>1875</S> for it<S>5105</S>, Neither let the light shine upon it<S>3313</S>.


text:
Let darkness<S>2822</S> and the shadow of death<S>6757</S> claim<S>1350</S> it for their own<S>6053</S>; Let a cloud dwell<S>7931</S> upon it<S>3650</S>; Let all that maketh black the day<S>3117</S> terrify it<S>1204</S>.


text:
As for that night<S>3915</S>, let thick darkness<S>652</S> seize<S>3947</S> upon it<S>2302</S>: Let it not rejoice among the days<S>3117</S> of the year<S>8141</S>; Let it not come<S>935</S> into the number<S>4557</S> of the months<S>3391</S>.


text:
Lo<S>3915</S>, let that night be barren<S>1565</S>; Let no joyful voice<S>7445</S> come therein<S>935</S>.


text:
Let them curse<S>5344</S> it that curse<S>779</S> the day<S>3117</S>, Who are ready<S>6264</S> to rouse up<S>5782</S> leviathan<S>3882</S>.


text:
Let the stars<S>3556</S> of the twilight<S>5399</S> thereof be dark<S>2821</S>: Let it look<S>6960</S> for light<S>216</S>, but have none<S>7200</S>; Neither let it behold the eyelids<S>6079</S> of the morning<S>7837</S>:


text:
But now they that are younger<S>6810</S> than I have me in derision<S>7832</S>, Whose fathers<S>1</S> I disdained<S>3988</S> to set<S>7896</S> with the dogs<S>3611</S> of my flock<S>6629</S>.


text:
They abhor<S>8581</S> me<S>7368</S>, they stand aloof from me<S>2820</S>, And spare not to spit<S>7536</S> in my face<S>6440</S>.


text:
For he hath loosed<S>6605</S> his cord<S>3499</S>, and afflicted<S>6031</S> me<S>7971</S>; And they have cast off the bridle<S>7448</S> before me<S>6440</S>.


text:
Upon my right<S>3225</S> hand rise<S>6965</S> the rabble<S>6526</S>; They thrust aside<S>7971</S> my feet<S>7272</S>, And they cast up<S>5549</S> against me their ways<S>734</S> of destruction<S>343</S>.


text:
They mar<S>5420</S> my path<S>5410</S>, They set forward<S>3276</S> my calamity<S>1942</S>, Even men that have no helper<S>5826</S>.


text:
As through a wide<S>7342</S> breach<S>6556</S> they come<S>857</S>: In the midst<S>8478</S> of the ruin<S>7722</S> they roll themselves upon me<S>1556</S>.


text:
Terrors<S>1091</S> are turned<S>2015</S> upon me<S>7291</S>; They chase mine honor<S>5082</S> as the wind<S>7307</S>; And my welfare<S>3444</S> is passed away<S>5674</S> as a cloud<S>5645</S>.


text:
And now my soul<S>5315</S> is poured out<S>8210</S> within me<S>3117</S>; Days of affliction<S>6040</S> have taken hold upon me<S>270</S>.


text:
In the night season<S>3915</S> my bones<S>6106</S> are pierced<S>5365</S> in me<S>6207</S>, And the pains that gnaw me take no rest<S>7901</S>.


text:
By God<S>7230</S>'s great force<S>3581</S> is my garment<S>3830</S> disfigured<S>2664</S>; It bindeth me about<S>247</S> as the collar<S>6310</S> of my coat<S>3801</S>.


text:
He hath cast<S>3384</S> me into the mire<S>2563</S>, And I am become like<S>4911</S> dust<S>6083</S> and ashes<S>665</S>.


text:
Yea<S>3581</S>, the strength of their hands<S>3027</S>, whereto<S>4100</S> should it profit me<S>3624</S>? Men in whom ripe age is perished<S>6</S>.


text:
I cry<S>7768</S> unto thee<S>6030</S>, and thou dost not answer me<S>5975</S>: I stand up, and thou gazest at me<S>995</S>.


text:
Thou art turned<S>2015</S> to be cruel<S>393</S> to me<S>6108</S>; With the might of thy hand<S>3027</S> thou persecutest me<S>7852</S>.


text:
Thou liftest me up<S>5375</S> to the wind<S>7307</S>, thou causest me to ride<S>7392</S> upon it<S>4127</S>; And thou dissolvest me in the storm<S>8454</S>.


text:
For I know<S>3045</S> that thou wilt bring<S>7725</S> me to death<S>4194</S>, And to the house<S>1004</S> appointed<S>4150</S> for all living<S>2416</S>.


text:
Howbeit doth not one stretch out<S>7971</S> the hand<S>3027</S> in his fall<S>1164</S>? Or in his calamity<S>6365</S> therefore cry for help<S>7769</S>?


text:
Did not I weep<S>1058</S> for him that was in trouble<S>7186</S>? Was not my soul<S>5315</S> grieved<S>5701</S> for the needy<S>34</S>?


text:
When I looked<S>6960</S> for good<S>2896</S>, then evil<S>7451</S> came<S>935</S>; And when I waited<S>3176</S> for light<S>216</S>, there came<S>935</S> darkness<S>652</S>.


text:
My heart<S>4578</S> is troubled<S>7570</S>, and resteth<S>1826</S> not<S>3117</S>; Days of affliction<S>6040</S> are come upon me<S>6923</S>.


text:
I go<S>1980</S> mourning<S>6937</S> without the sun<S>2535</S>: I stand up<S>6965</S> in the assembly<S>6951</S>, and cry for help<S>7768</S>.


text:
They are gaunt<S>1565</S> with want<S>2639</S> and famine<S>3720</S>; They gnaw<S>6207</S> the dry ground<S>6723</S>, in the gloom<S>570</S> of wasteness<S>4875</S> and desolation<S>7722</S>.


text:
My skin<S>5785</S> is black<S>7835</S>, and falleth from me<S>6106</S>, And my bones are burned<S>2787</S> with heat<S>2721</S>.


text:
Therefore is my harp<S>3658</S> turned to mourning<S>60</S>, And my pipe<S>5748</S> into the voice<S>6963</S> of them that weep<S>1058</S>.


text:
They pluck<S>6998</S> salt-wort<S>4408</S> by the bushes<S>7880</S>; And the roots<S>8328</S> of the broom<S>7574</S> are their food<S>3899</S>.


text:
They are driven forth<S>1644</S> from the midst<S>1460</S> of men<S>7321</S>; They cry after them as after a thief<S>1590</S>;


text:
So that they dwell<S>7931</S> in frightful<S>6178</S> valleys<S>5158</S>, In holes<S>2356</S> of the earth<S>6083</S> and of the rocks<S>3710</S>.


text:
Among the bushes<S>7880</S> they bray<S>5101</S>; Under the nettles<S>2738</S> they are gathered together<S>5596</S>.


text:
They are children<S>1121</S> of fools<S>5036</S>, yea<S>1121</S>, children of base men<S>8034</S>; They were scourged<S>5217</S> out of the land<S>776</S>.


text:
I made<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with mine eyes<S>5869</S>; How then should I look<S>995</S> upon a virgin<S>1330</S>?


text:
Then let my wife<S>802</S> grind<S>2912</S> unto another<S>312</S>, And let others<S>312</S> bow down upon her<S>3766</S>.


text:
For that were a heinous crime<S>2154</S>; Yea<S>5771</S>, it were an iniquity to be punished by the judges<S>6414</S>:


text:
For it is a fire<S>784</S> that consumeth<S>398</S> unto Destruction<S>11</S>, And would root out<S>8327</S> all mine increase<S>8393</S>.


text:
If I have despised<S>3988</S> the cause<S>4941</S> of my man-servant<S>5650</S> or of my maid-servant<S>519</S>, When they contended with me<S>7379</S>;


text:
What then shall I do<S>6213</S> when God<S>410</S> riseth up<S>6965</S>? And when he visiteth<S>6485</S>, what shall I answer him<S>7725</S>?


text:
Did not he that made<S>6213</S> me in the womb<S>990</S> make<S>6213</S> him<S>259</S>? And did not one fashion<S>3559</S> us in the womb<S>7358</S>?


text:
If I have withheld<S>4513</S> the poor<S>1800</S> from their desire<S>2656</S>, Or have caused the eyes<S>5869</S> of the widow<S>490</S> to fail<S>3615</S>,


text:
Or have eaten<S>398</S> my morsel<S>6595</S> alone<S>3490</S>, And the fatherless hath not eaten thereof<S>398</S>


text:
(Nay<S>5271</S>, from my youth he grew up<S>1431</S> with me as with a father<S>1</S>, And her have I guided<S>5148</S> from my mother<S>517</S>'s womb<S>990</S>);


text:
If I have seen<S>7200</S> any perish<S>6</S> for want of clothing<S>3830</S>, Or that the needy<S>34</S> had no covering<S>3682</S>;


text:
For what is the portion<S>2506</S> from God<S>433</S> above<S>4605</S>, And the heritage<S>5159</S> from the Almighty<S>7706</S> on high<S>4791</S>?


text:
If his loins<S>2504</S> have not blessed<S>1288</S> me<S>2552</S>, And if he hath not been warmed with the fleece<S>1488</S> of my sheep<S>3532</S>;


text:
If I have lifted up<S>5130</S> my hand<S>3027</S> against the fatherless<S>3490</S>, Because I saw<S>7200</S> my help<S>5833</S> in the gate<S>8179</S>:


text:
Then let my shoulder fall<S>5307</S> from the shoulder-blade<S>7929</S>, And mine arm<S>248</S> be broken<S>7665</S> from the bone<S>7070</S>.


text:
For calamity<S>343</S> from God<S>410</S> is a terror<S>6343</S> to me<S>7613</S>, And by reason of his majesty I can do nothing<S>3201</S>.


text:
If I have made<S>7760</S> gold<S>2091</S> my hope<S>3689</S>, And have said<S>559</S> to the fine gold<S>3800</S>, Thou art my confidence<S>4009</S>;


text:
If I have rejoiced<S>8055</S> because my wealth<S>2428</S> was great<S>7227</S>, And because my hand<S>3027</S> had gotten<S>4672</S> much<S>3524</S>;


text:
If I have beheld<S>7200</S> the sun<S>216</S> when it shined<S>1984</S>, Or the moon<S>3394</S> walking<S>1980</S> in brightness<S>3368</S>,


text:
And my heart<S>3820</S> hath been secretly<S>5643</S> enticed<S>6601</S>, And my mouth<S>6310</S> hath kissed<S>5401</S> my hand<S>3027</S>:


text:
This also were an iniquity<S>5771</S> to be punished by the judges<S>6416</S>; For I should have denied<S>3584</S> the God<S>410</S> that is above<S>4605</S>.


text:
If I have rejoiced<S>8055</S> at the destruction<S>6365</S> of him that hated<S>8130</S> me<S>5782</S>, Or lifted up myself when evil<S>7451</S> found him<S>4672</S>;


text:
Is it not calamity<S>343</S> to the unrighteous<S>5767</S>, And disaster<S>5235</S> to the workers<S>6466</S> of iniquity<S>205</S>?


text:
(Yea<S>5414</S>, I have not suffered my mouth<S>2441</S> to sin<S>2398</S> By asking<S>7592</S> his life<S>5315</S> with a curse<S>423</S>);


text:
If the men<S>4962</S> of my tent<S>168</S> have not said<S>559</S>, Who can find<S>5414</S> one that hath not been filled<S>7646</S> with his meat<S>1320</S>?


text:
(The sojourner<S>1616</S> hath not lodged<S>3885</S> in the street<S>2351</S>; But I have opened<S>6605</S> my doors<S>1817</S> to the traveller<S>734</S>);


text:
If like Adam<S>121</S> I have covered<S>3680</S> my transgressions<S>6588</S>, By hiding<S>2934</S> mine iniquity<S>5771</S> in my bosom<S>2243</S>,


text:
Because I feared<S>6206</S> the great<S>7227</S> multitude<S>1995</S>, And the contempt<S>937</S> of families<S>4940</S> terrified<S>2865</S> me<S>1826</S>, So that I kept silence, and went not out<S>3318</S> of the door<S>6607</S>—


text:
Oh that<S>5414</S> I had one to hear<S>8085</S> me<S>8420</S>! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty<S>7706</S> answer<S>6030</S> me<S>5612</S>); And that I had the indictment which mine adversary<S>376</S> hath written<S>3789</S>!


text:
Surely I would carry<S>5375</S> it upon my shoulder<S>7926</S>; I would bind<S>6029</S> it unto me as a crown<S>5850</S>:


text:
I would declare<S>5046</S> unto him the number<S>4557</S> of my steps<S>6806</S>; As a prince<S>5057</S> would I go near unto him<S>7126</S>.


text:
If my land<S>127</S> crieth<S>2199</S> out against me<S>3162</S>, And the furrows<S>8525</S> thereof weep together<S>1058</S>;


text:
If I have eaten<S>398</S> the fruits<S>3581</S> thereof without money<S>3701</S>, Or have caused the owners<S>1167</S> thereof to lose<S>5301</S> their life<S>5315</S>:


text:
Let thistles<S>2336</S> grow<S>3318</S> instead of wheat<S>2406</S>, And cockle<S>890</S> instead of barley<S>8184</S>. The words<S>1697</S> of Job<S>347</S> are ended<S>8552</S>.


text:
If I have walked<S>1980</S> with falsehood<S>7723</S>, And my foot<S>7272</S> hath hasted<S>2363</S> to deceit<S>4820</S>


text:
(Let me be weighed<S>8254</S> in an even<S>6664</S> balance<S>3976</S>, That God<S>433</S> may know<S>3045</S> mine integrity<S>8538</S>);


text:
If my step<S>838</S> hath turned out<S>5186</S> of the way<S>1870</S>, And my heart<S>3820</S> walked<S>1980</S> after<S>310</S> mine eyes<S>5869</S>, And if any spot<S>3971</S> hath cleaved<S>1692</S> to my hands<S>3709</S>:


text:
Then let me sow<S>2232</S>, and let another<S>312</S> eat<S>398</S>; Yea<S>6631</S>, let the produce of my field be rooted out<S>8327</S>.


text:
If my heart<S>3820</S> hath been enticed<S>6601</S> unto a woman<S>802</S>, And I have laid wait<S>693</S> at my neighbor<S>7453</S>'s door<S>6607</S>;


text:
So these three<S>7969</S> men<S>582</S> ceased<S>7673</S> to answer<S>6030</S> Job<S>347</S>, because he was righteous<S>6662</S> in his own eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
Therefore I said<S>559</S>, Hearken<S>8085</S> to me<S>2331</S>; I also will show mine opinion<S>1843</S>.


text:
Behold<S>3176</S>, I waited for your words<S>1697</S>, I listened<S>238</S> for your reasonings<S>8394</S>, Whilst ye searched out<S>2713</S> what to say<S>4405</S>.


text:
Yea<S>995</S>, I attended unto you<S>3198</S>, And, behold, there was none that convinced Job<S>347</S>, Or that answered<S>6030</S> his words<S>561</S>, among you.


text:
Beware lest ye say<S>559</S>, We have found<S>4672</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>; God<S>410</S> may vanquish<S>5086</S> him<S>376</S>, not man:


text:
For he hath not directed<S>6186</S> his words<S>4405</S> against me<S>7725</S>; Neither will I answer him with your speeches<S>561</S>.


text:
They are amazed<S>2865</S>, they answer<S>6030</S> no more<S>6275</S>: They have not a word to say<S>4405</S>.


text:
And shall I wait<S>3176</S>, because they speak<S>1696</S> not<S>5975</S>, Because they stand still, and answer no more<S>6030</S>?


text:
I also will answer<S>6030</S> my part<S>2506</S>, I also will show<S>2331</S> mine opinion<S>1843</S>.


text:
For I am full<S>4390</S> of words<S>4405</S>; The spirit<S>7307</S> within<S>990</S> me constraineth me<S>6693</S>.


text:
Behold<S>990</S>, my breast is as wine<S>3196</S> which hath no vent<S>6605</S>; Like new<S>2319</S> wine-skins<S>178</S> it is ready to burst<S>1234</S>.


text:
Then was kindled<S>2734</S> the wrath<S>639</S> of Elihu<S>453</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Barachel<S>1292</S> the Buzite<S>940</S>, of the family<S>4940</S> of Ram<S>7410</S>: against Job<S>347</S> was his wrath<S>639</S> kindled<S>2734</S>, because he justified<S>6663</S> himself<S>5315</S> rather than God<S>430</S>.


text:
I will speak<S>1696</S>, that I may be refreshed<S>7304</S>; I will open<S>6605</S> my lips<S>8193</S> and answer<S>6030</S>.


text:
Let me not<S>5375</S>, I pray you, respect any man<S>376</S>'s person<S>6440</S>; Neither will I give flattering titles<S>3655</S> unto any man<S>120</S>.


text:
For I know<S>3045</S> not to give flattering titles<S>3655</S>; Else would my Maker<S>6213</S> soon<S>4592</S> take me away<S>5375</S>.


text:
Also against his three<S>7969</S> friends<S>7453</S> was his wrath<S>639</S> kindled<S>2734</S>, because they had found<S>4672</S> no answer<S>4617</S>, and yet had condemned<S>7561</S> Job<S>347</S>.


text:
Now Elihu<S>453</S> had waited<S>2442</S> to speak<S>1697</S> unto Job<S>347</S>, because they were elder than he<S>2205</S>.


text:
And when Elihu<S>453</S> saw<S>7200</S> that there was no answer<S>4617</S> in the mouth<S>6310</S> of these three<S>7969</S> men<S>582</S>, his wrath<S>639</S> was kindled<S>2734</S>.


text:
And Elihu<S>453</S> the son<S>1121</S> of Barachel<S>1292</S> the Buzite<S>940</S> answered<S>6030</S> and said<S>559</S>, I am young<S>6810</S>, and ye are very old<S>3453</S>; Wherefore I held back<S>2119</S>, and durst<S>3372</S> not show<S>2331</S> you mine opinion<S>1843</S>.


text:
I said<S>559</S>, Days<S>3117</S> should speak<S>1696</S>, And multitude<S>7230</S> of years<S>8141</S> should teach<S>3045</S> wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
But<S>403</S> there is a spirit<S>7307</S> in man<S>582</S>, And the breath<S>5397</S> of the Almighty<S>7706</S> giveth them understanding<S>995</S>.


text:
It is not the great<S>7227</S> that are wise<S>2449</S>, Nor the aged<S>2205</S> that understand<S>995</S> justice<S>4941</S>.


text:
Howbeit<S>199</S>, Job<S>347</S>, I pray thee<S>8085</S>, hear my speech<S>4405</S>, And hearken<S>238</S> to all my words<S>1697</S>.


text:
Behold<S>4672</S>, he findeth occasions<S>8569</S> against me<S>2803</S>, He counteth me for his enemy<S>341</S>:


text:
He putteth<S>7760</S> my feet<S>7272</S> in the stocks<S>5465</S>, He marketh<S>8104</S> all my paths<S>734</S>.


text:
Behold<S>6030</S>, I will answer thee<S>6663</S>, in this thou art not just; For God<S>433</S> is greater<S>7235</S> than man<S>582</S>.


text:
Why dost thou strive<S>7378</S> against him<S>6030</S>, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters<S>1697</S>?


text:
For God<S>410</S> speaketh<S>1696</S> once<S>259</S>, Yea twice<S>8147</S>, though man regardeth it not<S>7789</S>.


text:
In a dream<S>2472</S>, in a vision<S>2384</S> of the night<S>3915</S>, When deep<S>8639</S> sleep falleth<S>5307</S> upon men<S>582</S>, In slumberings<S>8572</S> upon the bed<S>4904</S>;


text:
Then he openeth<S>1540</S> the ears<S>241</S> of men<S>582</S>, And sealeth<S>2856</S> their instruction<S>4561</S>,


text:
That he may withdraw<S>5493</S> man<S>120</S> from his purpose<S>4639</S>, And hide<S>3680</S> pride<S>1466</S> from man<S>1397</S>;


text:
He keepeth back<S>2820</S> his soul<S>5315</S> from the pit<S>7845</S>, And his life<S>2416</S> from perishing<S>5674</S> by the sword<S>7973</S>.


text:
He is chastened<S>3198</S> also with pain<S>4341</S> upon his bed<S>4904</S>, And with continual<S>7230</S> strife<S>386</S> in his bones<S>6106</S>;


text:
Behold now<S>6605</S>, I have opened my mouth<S>6310</S>; My tongue<S>3956</S> hath spoken<S>1696</S> in my mouth<S>2441</S>.


text:
So that his life<S>2416</S> abhorreth<S>2092</S> bread<S>3899</S>, And his soul<S>5315</S> dainty<S>8378</S> food<S>3978</S>.


text:
His flesh<S>1320</S> is consumed away<S>3615</S>, that it cannot be seen<S>7210</S>; And his bones<S>6106</S> that were not seen<S>7200</S> stick out<S>8192</S>.


text:
Yea<S>5315</S>, his soul draweth near<S>7126</S> unto the pit<S>7845</S>, And his life<S>2416</S> to the destroyers<S>4191</S>.


text:
If there<S>3426</S> be with him an angel<S>4397</S>, An interpreter<S>3887</S>, one<S>259</S> among a thousand<S>505</S>, To show<S>5046</S> unto man<S>120</S> what is right for him<S>3476</S>;


text:
Then God is gracious<S>2603</S> unto him<S>559</S>, and saith, Deliver<S>6308</S> him from going down<S>3381</S> to the pit<S>7845</S>, I have found<S>4672</S> a ransom<S>3724</S>.


text:
His flesh<S>1320</S> shall be fresher<S>7375</S> than a child<S>5290</S>'s; He returneth<S>7725</S> to the days<S>3117</S> of his youth<S>5934</S>.


text:
He prayeth<S>6279</S> unto God<S>433</S>, and he is favorable<S>7521</S> unto him<S>7200</S>, So that he seeth his face<S>6440</S> with joy<S>8643</S>: And he restoreth<S>7725</S> unto man<S>582</S> his righteousness<S>6666</S>.


text:
He singeth<S>7789</S> before men<S>582</S>, and saith<S>559</S>, I have sinned<S>2398</S>, and perverted<S>5753</S> that which was right<S>3477</S>, And it profited me not<S>7737</S>:


text:
He hath redeemed<S>6299</S> my soul<S>5315</S> from going<S>5674</S> into the pit<S>7845</S>, And my life<S>2416</S> shall behold<S>7200</S> the light<S>216</S>.


text:
Lo<S>410</S>, all these things doth God work<S>6466</S>, Twice<S>6471</S>, yea thrice, with a man<S>1397</S>,


text:
My words<S>561</S> shall utter the uprightness<S>3476</S> of my heart<S>3820</S>; And that which my lips<S>8193</S> know<S>1847</S> they shall speak<S>4448</S> sincerely<S>1305</S>.


text:
To bring back<S>7725</S> his soul<S>5315</S> from the pit<S>7845</S>, That he may be enlightened<S>215</S> with the light<S>216</S> of the living<S>2416</S>.


text:
Mark well<S>7181</S>, O Job<S>347</S>, hearken<S>8085</S> unto me<S>2790</S>: Hold thy peace, and I will speak<S>1696</S>.


text:
If thou hast<S>3426</S> anything to say<S>4405</S>, answer<S>7725</S> me<S>4405</S>: Speak, for I desire<S>2654</S> to justify thee<S>6663</S>.


text:
If not<S>8085</S>, hearken thou unto me<S>2790</S>: Hold thy peace, and I will teach<S>502</S> thee wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
The Spirit<S>7307</S> of God<S>410</S> hath made<S>6213</S> me<S>5397</S>, And the breath of the Almighty<S>7706</S> giveth me life<S>2421</S>.


text:
If thou canst<S>3201</S>, answer<S>7725</S> thou me<S>6186</S>; Set thy words in order before<S>6440</S> me<S>3320</S>, stand forth.


text:
Behold<S>410</S>, I am toward God even as thou art<S>6310</S>: I also am formed<S>7169</S> out of the clay<S>2563</S>.


text:
Behold<S>367</S>, my terror shall not make thee afraid<S>1204</S>, Neither shall my pressure<S>405</S> be heavy upon thee<S>3513</S>.


text:
Surely thou hast spoken<S>559</S> in my hearing<S>241</S>, And I have heard<S>8085</S> the voice<S>6963</S> of thy words<S>4405</S>, saying,


text:
I am clean<S>2134</S>, without transgression<S>6588</S>; I am innocent<S>2643</S>, neither is there iniquity in me<S>5771</S>:


text:
Therefore hearken<S>8085</S> unto me<S>582</S>, ye men of understanding<S>3824</S>: Far be it<S>2486</S> from God<S>410</S>, that he should do wickedness<S>7562</S>, And from the Almighty<S>7706</S>, that he should commit iniquity<S>5766</S>.


text:
For the work<S>6467</S> of a man<S>120</S> will he render<S>7999</S> unto him<S>376</S>, And cause every man to find<S>4672</S> according to his ways<S>734</S>.


text:
Yea<S>551</S>, of a surety, God<S>410</S> will not do wickedly<S>7561</S>, Neither will the Almighty<S>7706</S> pervert<S>5791</S> justice<S>4941</S>.


text:
Who gave him a charge<S>6485</S> over the earth<S>776</S>? Or who hath disposed<S>7760</S> the whole world<S>8398</S>?


text:
If he set<S>7760</S> his heart<S>3820</S> upon himself<S>622</S>, If he gather unto himself his spirit<S>7307</S> and his breath<S>5397</S>;


text:
All flesh<S>1320</S> shall perish<S>1478</S> together<S>3162</S>, And man<S>120</S> shall turn again<S>7725</S> unto dust<S>6083</S>.


text:
If now thou hast understanding<S>998</S>, hear<S>8085</S> this<S>238</S>: Hearken to the voice<S>6963</S> of my words<S>4405</S>.


text:
Shall even one that hateth<S>8130</S> justice<S>4941</S> govern<S>2280</S>? And wilt thou condemn<S>7561</S> him that is righteous<S>6662</S> and mighty<S>3524</S>?—


text:
Him that saith<S>559</S> to a king<S>4428</S>, Thou art vile<S>7563</S>, Or to nobles<S>5081</S>, Ye are wicked<S>1100</S>;


text:
That respecteth<S>5375</S> not the persons<S>6440</S> of princes<S>8269</S>, Nor regardeth<S>5234</S> the rich<S>7771</S> more than<S>6440</S> the poor<S>1800</S>; For they all are the work<S>4639</S> of his hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
Hear<S>8085</S> my words<S>4405</S>, ye wise<S>2450</S> men<S>238</S>; And give ear unto me<S>3045</S>, ye that have knowledge.


text:
In a moment<S>7281</S> they die<S>4191</S>, even at midnight<S>2676</S>; The people<S>5971</S> are shaken<S>1607</S> and pass away<S>5674</S>, And the mighty<S>47</S> are taken away<S>5674</S> without hand<S>3027</S>.


text:
For his eyes<S>5869</S> are upon the ways<S>1870</S> of a man<S>376</S>, And he seeth<S>7200</S> all his goings<S>6806</S>.


text:
There is no darkness<S>2822</S>, nor thick gloom<S>6757</S>, Where the workers<S>6466</S> of iniquity<S>205</S> may hide themselves<S>5641</S>.


text:
For he needeth not further<S>7760</S> to consider a man<S>376</S>, That he should go<S>1980</S> before God<S>410</S> in judgment<S>4941</S>.


text:
He breaketh in pieces<S>7489</S> mighty men<S>3524</S> in ways past finding<S>2714</S> out<S>5975</S>, And setteth others in their stead<S>312</S>.


text:
Therefore he taketh knowledge<S>5234</S> of their works<S>4566</S>; And he overturneth<S>2015</S> them in the night<S>3915</S>, so that they are destroyed<S>1792</S>.


text:
He striketh<S>5606</S> them as<S>8478</S> wicked men<S>7563</S> In the open<S>4725</S> sight of others<S>7200</S>;


text:
Because they turned aside<S>5493</S> from following him<S>310</S>, And would not have regard<S>7919</S> in any of his ways<S>1870</S>:


text:
So that they caused the cry<S>6818</S> of the poor<S>1800</S> to come<S>935</S> unto him<S>8085</S>, And he heard the cry<S>6818</S> of the afflicted<S>6041</S>.


text:
When he giveth quietness<S>8252</S>, who then can condemn<S>7561</S>? And when he hideth<S>5641</S> his face<S>6440</S>, who then can behold<S>7789</S> him<S>1471</S>? Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a<S>3162</S> man<S>120</S>:


text:
For the ear<S>241</S> trieth<S>974</S> words<S>4405</S>, As the palate<S>2441</S> tasteth<S>2938</S> food<S>398</S>.


text:
That the godless<S>120</S> man reign<S>4427</S> not<S>4170</S>, That there be none to ensnare the people<S>5971</S>.


text:
For hath any said<S>559</S> unto God<S>410</S>, I have borne<S>5375</S> chastisement<S>2254</S>, I will not offend any more:


text:
That which I see<S>2372</S> not<S>1107</S> teach<S>3384</S> thou me<S>6466</S>: If I have done iniquity<S>5766</S>, I will do it no more<S>3254</S>?


text:
Shall his recompense<S>7999</S> be as thou wilt<S>3588</S>, that thou refusest it<S>977</S>? For thou must choose, and not I<S>1696</S>: Therefore speak what thou knowest<S>3045</S>.


text:
Men<S>582</S> of understanding<S>3824</S> will say<S>559</S> unto me<S>2450</S>, Yea, every wise man<S>1397</S> that heareth me<S>8085</S>:


text:
220<S>347</S> speaketh<S>1696</S> without knowledge<S>1847</S>, And his words<S>1697</S> are without wisdom<S>7919</S>.


text:
Would<S>15</S> that Job<S>347</S> were tried<S>974</S> unto the end<S>5331</S>, Because of his answering<S>8666</S> like wicked<S>205</S> men<S>582</S>.


text:
For he addeth<S>3254</S> rebellion<S>6588</S> unto his sin<S>2403</S>; He clappeth<S>5606</S> his hands among us<S>7235</S>, And multiplieth his words<S>561</S> against God<S>410</S>.


text:
Let us choose<S>977</S> for us that which is right<S>4941</S>: Let us know<S>3045</S> among ourselves what is good<S>2896</S>.


text:
For Job<S>347</S> hath said<S>559</S>, I am righteous<S>6663</S>, And God<S>410</S> hath taken away<S>5493</S> my right<S>4941</S>:


text:
Notwithstanding my right<S>4941</S> I am accounted a liar<S>3576</S>; My wound<S>2671</S> is incurable<S>605</S>, though I am without transgression<S>6588</S>.


text:
What man<S>1397</S> is like Job<S>347</S>, Who drinketh up<S>8354</S> scoffing<S>3933</S> like water<S>4325</S>,


text:
Who goeth<S>732</S> in company<S>2274</S> with the workers<S>6466</S> of iniquity<S>205</S>, And walketh<S>3212</S> with wicked<S>7562</S> men<S>582</S>?


text:
For he hath said<S>559</S>, It profiteth<S>5532</S> a man<S>1397</S> nothing That he should delight<S>7521</S> himself with God<S>430</S>.


text:
But none saith<S>559</S>, Where is God<S>433</S> my Maker<S>6213</S>, Who giveth<S>5414</S> songs<S>2158</S> in the night<S>3915</S>,


text:
Who teacheth<S>502</S> us more than the beasts<S>929</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, And maketh us wiser<S>2449</S> than the birds<S>5775</S> of the heavens<S>8064</S>?


text:
There they cry<S>6817</S>, but none giveth answer<S>6030</S>, Because<S>6440</S> of the pride<S>1347</S> of evil men<S>7451</S>.


text:
Surely God<S>410</S> will not hear<S>8085</S> an empty<S>7723</S> cry<S>7706</S>, Neither will the Almighty regard it<S>7789</S>.


text:
How<S>637</S> much less when thou sayest<S>559</S> thou beholdest<S>7789</S> him not<S>1779</S>, The cause is before<S>6440</S> him<S>2342</S>, and thou waitest for him!


text:
But now<S>6485</S>, because he hath not visited in his anger<S>639</S>, Neither doth he greatly<S>3966</S> regard<S>3045</S> arrogance<S>6580</S>;


text:
Therefore doth Job<S>347</S> open<S>6475</S> his mouth<S>6310</S> in vanity<S>1892</S>; He multiplieth<S>3527</S> words<S>4405</S> without<S>1097</S> knowledge<S>1847</S>.


text:
Thinkest<S>2803</S> thou this to be thy right<S>4941</S>, Or sayest<S>559</S> thou<S>6664</S>, My righteousness is more than God<S>410</S>'s,


text:
That thou sayest<S>559</S>, What advantage<S>5532</S> will it be unto thee<S>3276</S>? And, What profit shall I have<S>2403</S>, more than if I had sinned?


text:
Look<S>5027</S> unto the heavens<S>8064</S>, and see<S>7200</S>; And behold<S>7789</S> the skies<S>7834</S>, which are higher than thou<S>1361</S>.


text:
If thou hast sinned<S>2398</S>, what effectest<S>6466</S> thou against him<S>6588</S>? And if thy transgressions be multiplied<S>7231</S>, what doest thou unto him<S>6213</S>?


text:
If thou be righteous<S>6663</S>, what givest<S>5414</S> thou him<S>3947</S>? Or what receiveth he of thy hand<S>3027</S>?


text:
Thy wickedness<S>7562</S> may hurt a man<S>376</S> as thou art<S>6666</S>; And thy righteousness may profit a son<S>1121</S> of man<S>120</S>.


text:
By reason of the multitude<S>7230</S> of oppressions<S>6217</S> they cry out<S>7768</S>; They cry<S>2199</S> for help by reason of the arm<S>2220</S> of the mighty<S>7227</S>.


text:
He openeth<S>1540</S> also their ear<S>241</S> to instruction<S>4148</S>, And commandeth<S>559</S> that they return<S>7725</S> from iniquity<S>205</S>.


text:
If they hearken<S>8085</S> and serve<S>5647</S> him<S>3615</S>, They shall spend their days<S>3117</S> in prosperity<S>2896</S>, And their years<S>8141</S> in pleasures<S>5273</S>.


text:
But if they hearken<S>8085</S> not<S>5674</S>, they shall perish by the sword<S>7973</S>, And they shall die<S>1478</S> without knowledge<S>1847</S>.


text:
But they that are godless<S>2611</S> in heart<S>3820</S> lay up<S>7760</S> anger<S>639</S>: They cry<S>7768</S> not for help when he bindeth them<S>631</S>.


text:
They<S>5315</S> die<S>4191</S> in youth<S>5290</S>, And their life<S>2416</S> perisheth among the unclean<S>6945</S>.


text:
He delivereth<S>2502</S> the afflicted<S>6041</S> by their affliction<S>6040</S>, And openeth<S>1540</S> their ear<S>241</S> in oppression<S>3906</S>.


text:
Yea<S>5496</S>, he would have allured thee out of distress<S>6310</S> Into a broad place<S>7338</S>, where<S>8478</S> there is no straitness<S>4164</S>; And that which is set<S>5183</S> on thy table<S>7979</S> would be full<S>4390</S> of fatness<S>1880</S>.


text:
But thou art full<S>4390</S> of the judgment<S>1779</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S>: Judgment<S>1779</S> and justice<S>1779</S> take hold on thee<S>8551</S>.


text:
For let not wrath<S>2534</S> stir thee up against<S>5496</S> chastisements<S>5607</S>; Neither let the greatness<S>7230</S> of the ransom<S>3724</S> turn thee aside<S>5186</S>.


text:
Will thy cry<S>7769</S> avail<S>6186</S>, that thou be not in distress<S>1222</S>, Or all the forces<S>3981</S> of thy strength<S>3581</S>?


text:
Suffer<S>3803</S> me a little<S>2191</S>, and I will show<S>2331</S> thee<S>4405</S>; For I have yet somewhat to say on God<S>433</S>'s behalf.


text:
Desire<S>7602</S> not the night<S>3915</S>, When peoples<S>5971</S> are cut off in their place<S>5927</S>.


text:
Take heed<S>8104</S>, regard<S>6437</S> not iniquity<S>205</S>: For this hast thou chosen<S>977</S> rather than affliction<S>6040</S>.


text:
Behold<S>410</S>, God doeth loftily<S>7682</S> in his power<S>3581</S>: Who is a teacher like unto him<S>3384</S>?


text:
Who hath enjoined<S>6485</S> him his way<S>1870</S>? Or who can say<S>559</S>, Thou hast wrought<S>6466</S> unrighteousness<S>5766</S>?


text:
Remember<S>2142</S> that thou magnify<S>7679</S> his work<S>6467</S>, Whereof men<S>582</S> have sung<S>7891</S>.


text:
All men<S>120</S> have looked<S>2372</S> thereon<S>582</S>; Man beholdeth<S>5027</S> it afar off<S>7350</S>.


text:
Behold<S>410</S>, God is great<S>7689</S>, and we know<S>3045</S> him not<S>4557</S>; The number of his years<S>8141</S> is unsearchable<S>2714</S>.


text:
For he draweth up<S>1639</S> the drops<S>5198</S> of water<S>4325</S>, Which distil<S>2212</S> in rain<S>4306</S> from his vapor<S>108</S>,


text:
Which the skies<S>7834</S> pour down<S>7491</S> And drop<S>5140</S> upon man<S>120</S> abundantly<S>7227</S>.


text:
Yea<S>995</S>, can any understand the spreadings<S>4666</S> of the clouds<S>5645</S>, The thunderings<S>8663</S> of his pavilion<S>5521</S>?


text:
I will fetch<S>5375</S> my knowledge<S>1843</S> from afar<S>7350</S>, And will ascribe<S>5414</S> righteousness<S>6664</S> to my Maker<S>6466</S>.


text:
Behold<S>6566</S>, he spreadeth his light<S>216</S> around him<S>3680</S>; And he covereth the bottom<S>8328</S> of the sea<S>3220</S>.


text:
For by these he judgeth<S>1777</S> the peoples<S>5971</S>; He giveth<S>5414</S> food<S>400</S> in abundance<S>4342</S>.


text:
He covereth<S>3680</S> his hands<S>3709</S> with the lightning<S>216</S>, And giveth it a charge<S>6680</S> that it strike the mark<S>6293</S>.


text:
The noise<S>7452</S> thereof telleth<S>5046</S> concerning him<S>4735</S>, The cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up<S>5927</S>.


text:
For truly<S>551</S> my words<S>4405</S> are not false<S>8267</S>: One that is perfect<S>8549</S> in knowledge is with thee<S>1844</S>.


text:
Behold<S>410</S>, God is mighty<S>3524</S>, and despiseth<S>3988</S> not any<S>3524</S>: He is mighty in strength<S>3581</S> of understanding<S>3820</S>.


text:
He preserveth not the life<S>2421</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S>, But giveth<S>5414</S> to the afflicted<S>6041</S> their right<S>4941</S>.


text:
He withdraweth<S>1639</S> not his eyes<S>5869</S> from the righteous<S>6662</S>: But with kings<S>4428</S> upon the throne<S>3678</S> He setteth<S>3427</S> them for ever<S>5331</S>, and they are exalted<S>1361</S>.


text:
And if they be bound<S>631</S> in fetters<S>2131</S>, And be taken<S>3920</S> in the cords<S>2256</S> of afflictions<S>6040</S>;


text:
Then he showeth<S>5046</S> them their work<S>6467</S>, And their transgressions<S>6588</S>, that they have behaved themselves proudly<S>1396</S>.


text:
Yea<S>2063</S>, at this my heart<S>3820</S> trembleth<S>2729</S>, And is moved out<S>5425</S> of its place<S>4725</S>.


text:
By the breath<S>5397</S> of God<S>410</S> ice is given<S>5414</S>; And the breadth<S>7341</S> of the waters<S>4325</S> is straitened<S>4164</S>.


text:
Yea<S>2959</S>, he ladeth the thick cloud<S>5645</S> with moisture<S>7377</S>; He spreadeth<S>6327</S> abroad the cloud<S>6051</S> of his lightning<S>216</S>:


text:
And it is turned<S>2015</S> round about<S>4524</S> by his guidance<S>8458</S>, That they may do<S>6467</S> whatsoever he commandeth<S>6680</S> them Upon the face<S>6440</S> of the habitable<S>776</S> world<S>8398</S>,


text:
Whether it be for correction<S>7626</S>, or for his land<S>776</S>, Or for lovingkindness<S>2617</S>, that he cause it to come<S>4672</S>.


text:
Hearken<S>238</S> unto this<S>347</S>, O Job: Stand still<S>5975</S>, and consider<S>995</S> the wondrous<S>6381</S> works of God<S>410</S>.


text:
Dost thou know<S>3045</S> how God<S>433</S> layeth<S>7760</S> his charge upon them<S>216</S>, And causeth the lightning of his cloud<S>6051</S> to shine<S>3313</S>?


text:
Dost thou know<S>3045</S> the balancings<S>4657</S> of the clouds<S>5645</S>, The wondrous works<S>4652</S> of him who is perfect<S>8549</S> in knowledge<S>1843</S>?


text:
How thy garments<S>899</S> are warm<S>2525</S>, When the earth<S>776</S> is still<S>8252</S> by reason of the south wind<S>1864</S>?


text:
Canst thou with him spread out<S>7554</S> the sky<S>7834</S>, Which is strong<S>2389</S> as a molten<S>3332</S> mirror<S>7209</S>?


text:
Teach<S>3045</S> us what we shall say<S>559</S> unto him<S>6186</S>; For we cannot set our speech in order by reason<S>6440</S> of darkness<S>2822</S>.


text:
Hear<S>8085</S>, oh<S>8085</S>, hear the noise<S>7267</S> of his voice<S>7267</S>, And the sound<S>6963</S> that goeth out<S>3318</S> of his mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
Shall it be told<S>5608</S> him that I would speak<S>1696</S>? Or should a man<S>376</S> wish<S>559</S> that he were swallowed up<S>1104</S>?


text:
And now men see<S>7200</S> not the light<S>216</S> which is bright<S>925</S> in the skies<S>7834</S>; But the wind<S>7307</S> passeth<S>5674</S>, and cleareth them<S>2891</S>.


text:
Out of the north<S>6828</S> cometh<S>857</S> golden splendor<S>2091</S>: God<S>433</S> hath upon him terrible<S>3372</S> majesty<S>1935</S>.


text:
Touching the Almighty<S>7706</S>, we cannot find him out<S>4672</S>: He is excellent<S>7689</S> in power<S>3581</S>; And in justice<S>4941</S> and plenteous<S>7230</S> righteousness<S>6666</S> he will not afflict<S>6031</S>.


text:
Men<S>582</S> do therefore fear<S>3372</S> him<S>7200</S>: He regardeth not any that are wise<S>2450</S> of heart<S>3820</S>.


text:
He sendeth<S>3474</S> it<S>8281</S> forth under the whole heaven<S>8064</S>, And his lightning<S>216</S> unto the ends<S>3671</S> of the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
After<S>310</S> it a voice<S>6963</S> roareth<S>7580</S>; He thundereth<S>7481</S> with the voice<S>6963</S> of his majesty<S>1347</S>; And he restraineth<S>6117</S> not the lightnings when his voice<S>6963</S> is heard<S>8085</S>.


text:
God<S>410</S> thundereth<S>7481</S> marvellously<S>6381</S> with his voice<S>6963</S>; Great things<S>1419</S> doeth<S>6213</S> he<S>3045</S>, which we cannot comprehend.


text:
For he saith<S>559</S> to the snow<S>7950</S>, Fall thou<S>1933</S> on the earth<S>776</S>; Likewise to the shower<S>4306</S> of rain<S>1653</S>, And to the showers<S>4306</S> of his mighty<S>5797</S> rain<S>1653</S>.


text:
He sealeth up<S>2856</S> the hand<S>3027</S> of every man<S>120</S>, That all men<S>582</S> whom he hath made may know<S>3045</S> it<S>4639</S>.


text:
Then the beasts<S>2416</S> go<S>935</S> into<S>1119</S> coverts<S>4585</S>, And remain<S>7931</S> in their dens<S>695</S>.


text:
Out of the chamber of the south<S>2315</S> cometh<S>935</S> the storm<S>5492</S>, And cold<S>7135</S> out of the north<S>4215</S>.


text:
Then Jehovah<S>3068</S> answered<S>6030</S> Job<S>347</S> out of the whirlwind<S>5591</S>, and said<S>6030</S>,


text:
And marked<S>7665</S> out for it my bound<S>2706</S>, And set<S>7760</S> bars<S>1280</S> and doors<S>1817</S>,


text:
And said<S>559</S>, Hitherto<S>5704</S> shalt thou come<S>935</S>, but no further<S>3254</S>; And here shall thy proud<S>1347</S> waves<S>1530</S> be stayed<S>7896</S>?


text:
Hast thou commanded<S>6680</S> the morning<S>1242</S> since thy days<S>3117</S> began<S>7837</S>, And caused the dayspring to know<S>3045</S> its place<S>4725</S>;


text:
That it might take hold<S>270</S> of the ends<S>3671</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, And the wicked<S>7563</S> be shaken out of it<S>5287</S>?


text:
It is changed<S>2015</S> as clay<S>2563</S> under the seal<S>2368</S>; And all things stand<S>3320</S> forth as a garment<S>3830</S>:


text:
And from the wicked<S>7563</S> their light<S>216</S> is withholden<S>4513</S>, And the high<S>7311</S> arm<S>2220</S> is broken<S>7665</S>.


text:
Hast thou entered<S>935</S> into the springs<S>5033</S> of the sea<S>3220</S>? Or hast thou walked<S>1980</S> in the recesses<S>2714</S> of the deep<S>8415</S>?


text:
Have the gates<S>8179</S> of death<S>4194</S> been revealed<S>1540</S> unto thee<S>7200</S>? Or hast thou seen the gates<S>8179</S> of the shadow of death<S>6757</S>?


text:
Hast thou comprehended<S>995</S> the earth<S>776</S> in its breadth<S>7338</S>? Declare<S>5046</S>, if thou knowest it all<S>3045</S>.


text:
Where is the way<S>1870</S> to the dwelling<S>7931</S> of light<S>216</S>? And as for darkness<S>2822</S>, where is the place thereof<S>4725</S>,


text:
Who is this that darkeneth<S>2821</S> counsel<S>6098</S> By words<S>4405</S> without knowledge<S>1847</S>?


text:
That thou shouldest take<S>3947</S> it to the bound<S>1366</S> thereof<S>995</S>, And that thou shouldest discern the paths<S>5410</S> to the house thereof<S>1004</S>?


text:
Doubtless<S>3045</S>, thou knowest, for thou wast then born<S>3205</S>, And the number<S>4557</S> of thy days<S>3117</S> is great<S>7227</S>!


text:
Hast thou entered<S>935</S> the treasuries<S>214</S> of the snow<S>7950</S>, Or hast thou seen<S>7200</S> the treasures<S>214</S> of the hail<S>1259</S>,


text:
Which I have reserved<S>2820</S> against the time<S>6256</S> of trouble<S>6862</S>, Against the day<S>3117</S> of battle<S>7128</S> and war<S>4421</S>?


text:
By what<S>335</S> way<S>1870</S> is the light<S>216</S> parted<S>2505</S>, Or the east wind<S>6921</S> scattered<S>6327</S> upon the earth<S>776</S>?


text:
Who hath cleft<S>6385</S> a channel<S>8585</S> for the waterflood<S>7858</S>, Or the way<S>1870</S> for the lightning<S>2385</S> of the thunder<S>6963</S>;


text:
To cause it to rain<S>4305</S> on a land<S>776</S> where no man<S>376</S> is<S>4057</S>; On the wilderness, wherein there is no man<S>120</S>;


text:
To satisfy<S>7646</S> the waste<S>4875</S> and desolate<S>7722</S> ground<S>4161</S>, And to cause the tender grass<S>1877</S> to spring forth<S>6779</S>?


text:
Hath<S>3426</S> the rain<S>4306</S> a father<S>1</S>? Or who hath begotten<S>3205</S> the drops<S>96</S> of dew<S>2919</S>?


text:
Out of whose womb<S>990</S> came<S>3318</S> the ice<S>7140</S>? And the hoary frost<S>3713</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>, who hath gendered it<S>3205</S>?


text:
Gird up<S>247</S> now thy loins<S>2504</S> like a man<S>1397</S>; For I will demand of thee<S>7592</S>, and declare thou unto me.


text:
The waters<S>4325</S> hide<S>2244</S> themselves and become like stone<S>68</S>, And the face<S>6440</S> of the deep<S>8415</S> is frozen<S>3920</S>.


text:
Canst thou bind<S>7194</S> the cluster<S>4575</S> of the Pleiades<S>3598</S>, Or loose<S>6605</S> the bands<S>4189</S> of Orion<S>3685</S>?


text:
Canst thou lead forth<S>3318</S> the Mazzaroth<S>4216</S> in their season<S>6256</S>? Or canst thou guide<S>5148</S> the Bear<S>5906</S> with her train<S>1121</S>?


text:
Knowest<S>3045</S> thou the ordinances<S>2708</S> of the heavens<S>8064</S>? Canst thou establish<S>7760</S> the dominion<S>4896</S> thereof in the earth<S>776</S>?


text:
Canst thou lift up<S>7311</S> thy voice<S>6963</S> to the clouds<S>5645</S>, That abundance<S>8229</S> of waters<S>4325</S> may cover thee<S>3680</S>?


text:
Canst thou send<S>7971</S> forth lightnings<S>1300</S>, that they may go<S>3212</S>, And say unto thee<S>559</S>, Here we are?


text:
Who hath put<S>7896</S> wisdom<S>2451</S> in the inward parts<S>2910</S>? Or who hath given<S>5414</S> understanding<S>998</S> to the mind<S>7907</S>?


text:
Who can number<S>5608</S> the clouds<S>7834</S> by wisdom<S>2451</S>? Or who can pour<S>7901</S> out the bottles<S>5035</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>,


text:
When the dust<S>6083</S> runneth<S>3332</S> into a mass<S>4165</S>, And the clods<S>7263</S> cleave fast together<S>1692</S>?


text:
Canst thou hunt<S>6679</S> the prey<S>2964</S> for the lioness<S>3833</S>, Or satisfy<S>4390</S> the appetite<S>2416</S> of the young lions<S>3715</S>,


text:
Where<S>375</S> wast thou when I laid the foundations<S>3245</S> of the earth<S>776</S>? Declare<S>5046</S>, if thou hast<S>3045</S> understanding<S>998</S>.


text:
When they couch<S>7817</S> in their dens<S>4585</S>, And abide<S>3427</S> in the covert<S>5521</S> to<S>3926</S> lie in wait<S>695</S>?


text:
Who provideth<S>3559</S> for the raven<S>6158</S> his prey<S>6718</S>, When his young ones<S>3206</S> cry<S>7768</S> unto God<S>410</S>, And wander<S>8582</S> for lack<S>1097</S> of food<S>400</S>?


text:
Who determined<S>7760</S> the measures<S>4461</S> thereof<S>3045</S>, if thou knowest? Or who stretched<S>5186</S> the line upon it<S>6957</S>?


text:
Whereupon were the foundations<S>134</S> thereof fastened<S>2883</S>? Or who laid<S>3384</S> the corner<S>6438</S> - stone thereof<S>68</S>,


text:
When the morning<S>1242</S> stars<S>3556</S> sang<S>7442</S> together<S>3162</S>, And all the sons<S>1121</S> of God<S>430</S> shouted for joy<S>7321</S>?


text:
Or who shut up<S>5526</S> the sea<S>3220</S> with doors<S>1817</S>, When it brake forth<S>1518</S>, as if it had issued out<S>3318</S> of the womb<S>7358</S>;


text:
When I made<S>7760</S> clouds<S>6051</S> the garment<S>3830</S> thereof<S>6205</S>, And thick darkness a swaddling-band<S>2854</S> for it,


text:
Knowest<S>3045</S> thou the time<S>6256</S> when the wild goats<S>3277</S> of the rock<S>5553</S> bring forth<S>3205</S>? Or canst thou mark<S>8104</S> when the hinds<S>355</S> do calve<S>2342</S>?


text:
Canst thou bind<S>7194</S> the wild-ox<S>7214</S> with his band<S>5688</S> in the furrow<S>8525</S>? Or will he harrow<S>7702</S> the valleys<S>6010</S> after thee<S>310</S>?


text:
Wilt thou trust<S>982</S> him<S>3581</S>, because his strength is great<S>7227</S>? Or wilt thou leave<S>5800</S> to him thy labor<S>3018</S>?


text:
Wilt thou confide<S>539</S> in him<S>7725</S>, that he will bring home thy seed<S>2233</S>, And gather<S>622</S> the grain of thy threshing-floor<S>1637</S>?


text:
The wings<S>3671</S> of the ostrich<S>5965</S> wave proudly<S>7443</S>; But are they the pinions<S>84</S> and plumage<S>2624</S> of love<S>5133</S>?


text:
For she leaveth<S>5800</S> her eggs<S>1000</S> on the earth<S>776</S>, And warmeth<S>2552</S> them in the dust<S>6083</S>,


text:
And forgetteth<S>7911</S> that the foot<S>7272</S> may crush<S>2115</S> them<S>7704</S>, Or that the wild beast<S>2416</S> may trample them<S>1758</S>.


text:
She dealeth hardly<S>7188</S> with her young ones<S>1121</S>, as if they were not<S>3808</S> hers<S>3018</S>: Though her labor be in vain<S>7385</S>, she is without fear<S>6343</S>;


text:
Because God<S>433</S> hath deprived<S>5382</S> her of wisdom<S>2451</S>, Neither hath he imparted<S>2505</S> to her understanding<S>998</S>.


text:
What time<S>6256</S> she lifteth up<S>4754</S> herself on high<S>4791</S>, She scorneth<S>7832</S> the horse<S>5483</S> and his rider<S>7392</S>.


text:
Hast thou given<S>5414</S> the horse<S>5483</S> his might<S>1369</S>? Hast thou clothed<S>3847</S> his neck<S>6677</S> with the quivering mane<S>7483</S>?


text:
Canst thou number<S>5608</S> the months<S>3391</S> that they fulfil<S>4390</S>? Or knowest<S>3045</S> thou the time<S>6256</S> when they bring forth<S>3205</S>?


text:
Hast thou made him to leap<S>7493</S> as a locust<S>697</S>? The glory<S>1935</S> of his snorting<S>5170</S> is terrible<S>367</S>.


text:
He paweth<S>2658</S> in the valley<S>6010</S>, and rejoiceth<S>7797</S> in his strength<S>3581</S>: He goeth out<S>3318</S> to meet<S>7125</S> the armed men<S>5402</S>.


text:
He mocketh<S>7832</S> at fear<S>6343</S>, and is not dismayed<S>2865</S>; Neither turneth he back<S>7725</S> from<S>6440</S> the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
The quiver<S>827</S> rattleth<S>7439</S> against him<S>3851</S>, The flashing spear<S>2595</S> and the javelin<S>3591</S>.


text:
He swalloweth<S>1572</S> the ground<S>776</S> with fierceness<S>7494</S> and rage<S>7267</S>; Neither believeth<S>539</S> he that it is the voice<S>6963</S> of the trumpet<S>7782</S>.


text:
As oft as the trumpet<S>7782</S> soundeth<S>1767</S> he saith<S>559</S>, Aha<S>1889</S>! <S>1889</S> And he smelleth<S>7306</S> the battle<S>4421</S> afar off<S>7350</S>, The thunder<S>7482</S> of the captains<S>8269</S>, and the shouting<S>8643</S>.


text:
Is it by thy wisdom<S>998</S> that the hawk<S>5322</S> soareth<S>82</S>, (And<S>6566</S>) stretcheth her wings<S>3671</S> toward the south<S>8486</S>?


text:
Is it at thy command<S>6310</S> that the eagle<S>5404</S> mounteth up<S>1361</S>, And maketh<S>7311</S> her nest<S>7064</S> on high<S>7311</S>?


text:
On the cliff<S>5553</S> she dwelleth<S>7931</S>, and maketh her home<S>3885</S>, Upon the point<S>5553</S> of the cliff<S>8127</S>, and the stronghold<S>4686</S>.


text:
From thence she spieth<S>2658</S> out the prey<S>400</S>; Her eyes<S>5869</S> behold<S>5027</S> it afar off<S>7350</S>.


text:
They bow<S>3766</S> themselves<S>6398</S>, they bring forth their young<S>3206</S>, They cast out<S>7971</S> their pains<S>2256</S>.


text:
Her young ones<S>667</S> also suck up<S>5966</S> blood<S>1818</S>: And where the slain<S>2491</S> are<S>1931</S>, there is she.


text:
Their young ones<S>1121</S> become strong<S>2492</S>, they grow up<S>7235</S> in the open field<S>1250</S>; They go forth<S>3318</S>, and return not again<S>7725</S>.


text:
Who hath sent out<S>7971</S> the wild ass<S>6501</S> free<S>2670</S>? Or who hath loosed<S>6605</S> the bonds<S>4147</S> of the swift ass<S>6171</S>,


text:
Whose home<S>1004</S> I have made<S>7760</S> the wilderness<S>6160</S>, And the salt<S>4420</S> land his dwelling-place<S>4908</S>?


text:
He scorneth<S>7832</S> the tumult<S>1995</S> of the city<S>7151</S>, Neither heareth<S>8085</S> he the shoutings<S>8663</S> of the driver<S>5065</S>.


text:
The range<S>3491</S> of the mountains<S>2022</S> is his pasture<S>4829</S>, And he searcheth<S>1875</S> after<S>310</S> every green thing<S>3387</S>.


text:
Will the wild-ox<S>7214</S> be content<S>14</S> to serve<S>5647</S> thee<S>3885</S>? Or will he abide by thy crib<S>18</S>?


text:
The roaring<S>7581</S> of the lion<S>738</S>, and the voice<S>6963</S> of the fierce lion<S>7826</S>, And the teeth<S>8127</S> of the young lions<S>3715</S>, are broken<S>5421</S>.


text:
The old lion<S>3918</S> perisheth<S>6</S> for lack<S>1097</S> of prey<S>2964</S>, And the whelps<S>1121</S> of the lioness<S>3833</S> are scattered abroad<S>6504</S>.


text:
Now a thing<S>1697</S> was secretly brought<S>1589</S> to me<S>241</S>, And mine ear received<S>3947</S> a whisper thereof<S>8102</S>.


text:
In thoughts<S>5587</S> from the visions<S>2384</S> of the night<S>3915</S>, When deep sleep<S>8639</S> falleth<S>5307</S> on men<S>582</S>,


text:
Fear<S>6343</S> came<S>7122</S> upon me<S>7461</S>, and trembling, Which made all<S>7230</S> my bones<S>6106</S> to shake<S>6342</S>.


text:
Then a spirit<S>7307</S> passed<S>2498</S> before my face<S>6440</S>; The hair<S>8185</S> of my flesh<S>1320</S> stood up<S>5568</S>.


text:
It stood still<S>5975</S>, but I could not discern<S>5234</S> the appearance<S>4758</S> thereof<S>4758</S>; A form was before mine eyes<S>5869</S>: There was silence<S>1827</S>, and I heard<S>8085</S> a voice<S>6963</S>, saying,


text:
Shall mortal man<S>582</S> be more just<S>6663</S> than God<S>433</S>? Shall a man<S>1397</S> be more pure<S>2891</S> than his Maker<S>6213</S>?


text:
Behold<S>539</S>, he putteth no trust in his servants<S>5650</S>; And his angels<S>4397</S> he chargeth<S>7760</S> with folly<S>8417</S>:


text:
How much more<S>637</S> them that dwell<S>7931</S> in houses<S>1004</S> of clay<S>2563</S>, Whose foundation<S>3247</S> is in the dust<S>6083</S>, Who are crushed<S>1792</S> before<S>6440</S> the moth<S>6211</S>!


text:
If one assay<S>5254</S> to commune<S>1697</S> with thee<S>3811</S>, wilt thou be grieved? But who can<S>3201</S> withhold<S>6113</S> himself from speaking<S>4405</S>?


text:
Betwixt morning<S>1242</S> and evening<S>6153</S> they are destroyed<S>3807</S>: They perish<S>6</S> for ever<S>5331</S> without any regarding it<S>7760</S>.


text:
Is not their tent-cord<S>3499</S> plucked<S>5265</S> up within them<S>4191</S>? They die, and that without wisdom<S>2451</S>.


text:
Behold<S>3256</S>, thou hast instructed many<S>7227</S>, And thou hast strengthened<S>2388</S> the weak<S>7504</S> hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
Thy words<S>4405</S> have upholden<S>6965</S> him that was falling<S>3782</S>, And thou hast made firm<S>553</S> the feeble<S>3766</S> knees<S>1290</S>.


text:
But now it is come<S>935</S> unto thee<S>3811</S>, and thou faintest; It toucheth<S>5060</S> thee<S>926</S>, and thou art troubled.


text:
Is not thy fear<S>3374</S> of God thy confidence<S>3690</S>, And the integrity<S>8537</S> of thy ways<S>1870</S> thy hope<S>8615</S>?


text:
Remember<S>2142</S>, I pray thee<S>6</S>, who ever perished, being innocent<S>5355</S>? Or where<S>375</S> were the upright<S>3477</S> cut off<S>3582</S>?


text:
According as I have seen<S>7200</S>, they that plow<S>2790</S> iniquity<S>205</S>, And sow<S>2232</S> trouble<S>5999</S>, reap the same<S>7114</S>.


text:
By the breath<S>5397</S> of God<S>433</S> they perish<S>6</S>, And by the blast<S>7307</S> of his anger<S>639</S> are they consumed<S>3615</S>.


text:
Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth.


text:
Canst thou draw out<S>4900</S> leviathan<S>3882</S> with a fishhook<S>2443</S>? Or press down his tongue<S>3956</S> with a cord<S>2256</S>?


text:
None is so fierce<S>393</S> that he dare stir him up<S>5782</S>; Who then is he that can stand<S>3320</S> before me<S>6440</S>?


text:
Who hath first given<S>6923</S> unto me<S>7999</S>, that I should repay him<S>8064</S>? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.


text:
I will not keep silence concerning<S>2790</S> his limbs<S>907</S>, Nor his mighty strength<S>1369</S>, nor his goodly<S>2433</S> frame<S>6187</S>.


text:
Who can strip<S>1540</S> off his outer<S>6440</S> garment<S>3830</S>? Who shall come<S>935</S> within<S>3718</S> his jaws<S>7448</S>?


text:
Who can open<S>6605</S> the doors<S>1817</S> of his face<S>6440</S>? Round about<S>5439</S> his teeth<S>8127</S> is terror<S>367</S>.


text:
His strong scales<S>4043</S> are his pride<S>1346</S>, Shut up together<S>5462</S> as with a close<S>6862</S> seal<S>2368</S>.


text:
One<S>259</S> is so near<S>5066</S> to another<S>259</S>, That no air<S>7307</S> can come between them<S>935</S>.


text:
They are joined<S>1692</S> one<S>376</S> to another<S>251</S>; They stick together<S>3920</S>, so that they cannot be sundered<S>6504</S>.


text:
His sneezings<S>5846</S> flash<S>1984</S> forth light<S>216</S>, And his eyes<S>5869</S> are like the eyelids<S>6079</S> of the morning<S>7837</S>.


text:
Out of his mouth<S>6310</S> go<S>1980</S> burning torches<S>3940</S>, And sparks<S>3590</S> of fire<S>784</S> leap forth<S>4422</S>.


text:
Canst thou put<S>7760</S> a rope<S>100</S> into his nose<S>639</S>? Or pierce<S>5344</S> his jaw<S>3895</S> through with a hook<S>2336</S>?


text:
Out of his nostrils<S>5156</S> a smoke<S>6227</S> goeth<S>3318</S>, As of a boiling<S>5301</S> pot<S>1731</S> and burning rushes<S>100</S>.


text:
His breath<S>5315</S> kindleth<S>3857</S> coals<S>1513</S>, And a flame<S>3851</S> goeth forth<S>3318</S> from his mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
In his neck<S>6677</S> abideth<S>3885</S> strength<S>5797</S>, And terror<S>1670</S> danceth<S>1750</S> before him<S>6440</S>.


text:
The flakes<S>4651</S> of his flesh<S>1320</S> are joined together<S>1692</S>: They are firm<S>3332</S> upon him<S>4131</S>; They cannot be moved.


text:
His heart<S>3820</S> is as firm<S>3332</S> as a stone<S>68</S>; Yea<S>3332</S>, firm as the nether<S>8482</S> millstone<S>6400</S>.


text:
When he raiseth himself up<S>7613</S>, the mighty<S>352</S> are afraid<S>1481</S>: By reason of consternation<S>7667</S> they are beside themselves<S>2398</S>.


text:
If one lay<S>5381</S> at him with the sword<S>2719</S>, it cannot avail<S>6965</S>; Nor the spear<S>2595</S>, the dart<S>4551</S>, nor the pointed shaft<S>8302</S>.


text:
He counteth<S>2803</S> iron<S>1270</S> as straw<S>8401</S>, And brass<S>5154</S> as rotten<S>7539</S> wood<S>6086</S>.


text:
The arrow<S>1121</S> cannot make him flee<S>1272</S>: Sling-stones<S>68</S> are turned<S>2015</S> with him into stubble<S>7179</S>.


text:
Clubs<S>8455</S> are counted<S>2803</S> as stubble<S>7179</S>: He laugheth<S>7832</S> at the rushing<S>7494</S> of the javelin<S>3591</S>.


text:
Will he make many<S>7235</S> supplications<S>8469</S> unto thee<S>1696</S>? Or will he speak soft words unto thee<S>7390</S>?


text:
His underparts are like sharp<S>2303</S> potsherds<S>2789</S>: He spreadeth<S>7502</S> as it were a threshing-wain<S>2742</S> upon the mire<S>2916</S>.


text:
He maketh the deep<S>4688</S> to boil<S>7570</S> like a pot<S>5518</S>: He maketh<S>7760</S> the sea<S>3220</S> like a pot of ointment<S>4841</S>.


text:
He maketh a path<S>5410</S> to shine<S>215</S> after<S>310</S> him<S>2803</S>; One would think the deep<S>8415</S> to be hoary<S>7872</S>.


text:
Upon earth<S>6083</S> there is not his like<S>4915</S>, That is made<S>6213</S> without<S>1097</S> fear<S>2844</S>.


text:
He beholdeth<S>7200</S> everything that is high<S>1364</S>: He is king<S>4428</S> over all the sons<S>1121</S> of pride<S>7830</S>.


text:
Will he make<S>3772</S> a covenant<S>1285</S> with thee<S>3947</S>, That thou shouldest take him for a servant<S>5650</S> for ever<S>5769</S>?


text:
Wilt thou play<S>7832</S> with him as with a bird<S>6833</S>? Or wilt thou bind<S>7194</S> him for thy maidens<S>5291</S>?


text:
Will the bands<S>2271</S> of fishermen make traffic<S>3739</S> of him<S>2673</S>? Will they part him among the merchants<S>3669</S>?


text:
Canst thou fill<S>4390</S> his skin<S>5785</S> with barbed irons<S>7905</S>, Or his head with fish<S>7218</S> - spears?


text:
Lay<S>7760</S> thy hand<S>3709</S> upon him<S>2142</S>; Remember the battle<S>4421</S>, and do so no more<S>3254</S>.


text:
Behold<S>8431</S>, the hope of him is in vain<S>3576</S>: Will not one be cast down<S>2904</S> even at the sight of him<S>4758</S>?


text:
And Jehovah<S>3068</S> turned<S>7725</S> the captivity<S>7622</S> of Job<S>347</S>, when he prayed<S>6419</S> for his friends<S>7453</S>: and Jehovah<S>3068</S> gave<S>3254</S> Job<S>347</S> twice as much as he had before<S>4932</S>.


text:
Then came<S>935</S> there unto him all his brethren<S>251</S>, and all his sisters<S>269</S>, and all they that had been of his acquaintance<S>3045</S> before<S>6440</S>, and did eat<S>398</S> bread<S>3899</S> with him in his house<S>1004</S>: and they bemoaned<S>5110</S> him<S>5162</S>, and comforted him concerning all the evil<S>7451</S> that Jehovah<S>3068</S> had brought<S>935</S> upon him<S>376</S>: every man also gave<S>5414</S> him a<S>259</S> piece of money<S>7192</S>, and every one<S>376</S> a<S>259</S> ring of gold<S>2091</S>.


text:
So Jehovah<S>3068</S> blessed<S>1288</S> the latter end<S>319</S> of Job<S>347</S> more than his beginning<S>7225</S>: And he had fourteen<S>702</S> thousand<S>505</S> sheep<S>6629</S>, and six<S>8337</S> thousand<S>505</S> camels<S>1581</S>, and a thousand<S>505</S> yoke<S>6776</S> of oxen<S>1241</S>, and a thousand<S>505</S> she-asses<S>860</S>.


text:
And he called<S>7121</S> the name<S>8034</S> of the first<S>259</S>, Jemimah<S>3224</S>: and the name<S>8034</S> of the second<S>8145</S>, Keziah<S>7103</S>; and the name<S>8034</S> of the third<S>7992</S>, Keren-happuch<S>7163</S>.


text:
And in all the land<S>776</S> were no women<S>802</S> found<S>4672</S> so fair<S>3303</S> as the daughters<S>1323</S> of Job<S>347</S>: and their father<S>1</S> gave<S>5414</S> them inheritance<S>5159</S> among<S>8432</S> their brethren<S>251</S>.


text:
And after<S>310</S> this Job<S>347</S> lived<S>2421</S> a hundred<S>3967</S> and forty<S>705</S> years<S>8141</S>, and saw<S>7200</S> his sons<S>1121</S>, and his sons<S>1121</S>' sons<S>1121</S>, even four<S>702</S> generations<S>1755</S>.


text:
I know<S>3045</S> that thou canst do<S>3201</S> all things<S>4209</S>, And that no purpose of thine can be restrained<S>1219</S>.


text:
Who is this that hideth<S>5956</S> counsel<S>6098</S> without knowledge<S>1847</S>? Therefore have I uttered<S>5046</S> that which I understood<S>995</S> not<S>6381</S>, Things too wonderful for me<S>3045</S>, which I knew not.


text:
Hear<S>8085</S>, I beseech thee<S>1696</S>, and I will speak; I will demand<S>7592</S> of thee<S>3045</S>, and declare thou unto me.


text:
I had heard<S>8085</S> of thee by the hearing<S>8088</S> of the ear<S>241</S>; But now mine eye<S>5869</S> seeth thee<S>7200</S>:


text:
And it was so<S>310</S>, that, after Jehovah<S>3068</S> had spoken<S>1696</S> these words<S>1697</S> unto Job<S>347</S>, Jehovah<S>3068</S> said<S>559</S> to Eliphaz<S>464</S> the Temanite<S>8489</S>, My wrath<S>639</S> is kindled<S>2734</S> against thee<S>8147</S>, and against thy two friends<S>7453</S>; for ye have not spoken<S>1696</S> of me the thing that is right<S>3559</S>, as my servant<S>5650</S> Job hath<S>347</S>.


text:
Now therefore<S>3947</S>, take unto you seven<S>7651</S> bullocks<S>6499</S> and seven<S>7651</S> rams<S>352</S>, and go<S>3212</S> to my servant<S>5650</S> Job<S>347</S>, and offer up<S>5927</S> for yourselves a burnt-offering<S>5930</S>; and my servant<S>5650</S> Job<S>347</S> shall pray<S>6419</S> for you<S>6440</S>; for him will I accept<S>5375</S>, that I deal<S>6213</S> not with you after your folly<S>5039</S>; for ye have not spoken<S>1696</S> of me the thing that is right<S>3559</S>, as my servant<S>5650</S> Job hath<S>347</S>.


text:
So Eliphaz<S>464</S> the Temanite<S>8489</S> and Bildad<S>1085</S> the Shuhite<S>7747</S> and Zophar<S>6691</S> the Naamathite<S>5284</S> went<S>3212</S>, and did<S>6213</S> according as Jehovah<S>3068</S> commanded<S>1696</S> them<S>3068</S>: and Jehovah accepted<S>5375</S> Job<S>6440</S>.


text:
Call<S>7121</S> now<S>3426</S>; is there any that will answer<S>6030</S> thee<S>6918</S>? And to which of the holy ones wilt thou turn<S>6437</S>?


text:
Who giveth<S>5414</S> rain<S>4306</S> upon<S>6440</S> the earth<S>776</S>, And sendeth<S>7971</S> waters<S>4325</S> upon<S>6440</S> the fields<S>2351</S>;


text:
So that he setteth up<S>7760</S> on high<S>4791</S> those that are low<S>8217</S>, And those that mourn<S>6937</S> are exalted<S>7682</S> to safety<S>3468</S>.


text:
He frustrateth<S>6565</S> the devices<S>4284</S> of the crafty<S>6175</S>, So that their hands<S>3027</S> cannot perform<S>6213</S> their enterprise<S>8454</S>.


text:
He taketh<S>3920</S> the wise<S>2450</S> in their own craftiness<S>6193</S>; And the counsel<S>6098</S> of the cunning<S>6617</S> is carried headlong<S>4116</S>.


text:
They meet<S>6298</S> with darkness<S>2822</S> in the day-time<S>3119</S>, And grope<S>4959</S> at noonday<S>6672</S> as in the night<S>3915</S>.


text:
But he saveth<S>3467</S> from the sword<S>2719</S> of their mouth<S>6310</S>, Even the needy<S>34</S> from the hand<S>3027</S> of the mighty<S>2389</S>.


text:
So the poor<S>1800</S> hath hope<S>8615</S>, And iniquity<S>5766</S> stoppeth<S>7092</S> her mouth<S>6310</S>.


text:
Behold<S>835</S>, happy is the man<S>582</S> whom God<S>433</S> correcteth<S>3198</S>: Therefore despise<S>3988</S> not thou the chastening<S>4148</S> of the Almighty<S>7706</S>.


text:
For he maketh sore<S>3510</S>, and bindeth up<S>2280</S>; He woundeth<S>4272</S>, and his hands<S>3027</S> make whole<S>7495</S>.

He will deliver<S>5337</S> thee in six<S>8337</S> troubles<S>6869</S>; Yea<S>7651</S>, in seven there shall no evil<S>7451</S> touch thee<S>5060</S>.


text:
For vexation<S>3708</S> killeth<S>2026</S> the foolish man<S>191</S>, And jealousy<S>7068</S> slayeth<S>4191</S> the silly one<S>6601</S>.


text:
In famine<S>7458</S> he will redeem<S>6299</S> thee from death<S>4194</S>; And in war<S>4421</S> from the power<S>3027</S> of the sword<S>2719</S>.


text:
Thou shalt be hid<S>2244</S> from the scourge<S>7752</S> of the tongue<S>3956</S>; Neither shalt thou be afraid<S>3372</S> of destruction<S>7701</S> when it cometh<S>935</S>.


text:
At destruction<S>7701</S> and dearth<S>3720</S> thou shalt laugh<S>7832</S>; Neither shalt thou be afraid<S>3372</S> of the beasts<S>2416</S> of the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
For thou shalt be in league<S>1285</S> with the stones<S>68</S> of the field<S>7704</S>; And the beasts<S>2416</S> of the field<S>7704</S> shall be at peace with thee<S>7999</S>.


text:
And thou shalt know<S>3045</S> that thy tent<S>168</S> is in peace<S>7965</S>; And thou shalt visit<S>6485</S> thy fold<S>5116</S>, and shalt miss nothing<S>2398</S>.


text:
Thou shalt know<S>3045</S> also that thy seed<S>2233</S> shall be great<S>7227</S>, And thine offspring<S>6631</S> as the grass<S>6212</S> of the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
Thou shalt come<S>935</S> to thy grave<S>6913</S> in a full age<S>3624</S>, Like as a shock of grain<S>1430</S> cometh in<S>5927</S> in its season<S>6256</S>.


text:
Lo this<S>2713</S>, we have searched it<S>8085</S>, so it is; Hear it<S>3045</S>, and know thou it for thy good.


text:
I have seen<S>7200</S> the foolish<S>191</S> taking root<S>8327</S>: But suddenly<S>6597</S> I cursed<S>5344</S> his habitation<S>5116</S>.


text:
His children<S>1121</S> are far<S>7368</S> from safety<S>3468</S>, And they are crushed<S>1792</S> in the gate<S>8179</S>, Neither is there any to deliver them<S>5337</S>:


text:
Whose harvest<S>7105</S> the hungry<S>7457</S> eateth up<S>398</S>, And taketh<S>3947</S> it even out<S>413</S> of the thorns<S>6791</S>; And the snare<S>6782</S> gapeth<S>7602</S> for their substance<S>2428</S>.


text:
For affliction<S>205</S> cometh not forth<S>3318</S> from the dust<S>6083</S>, Neither doth trouble<S>5999</S> spring out<S>6779</S> of the ground<S>127</S>;


text:
But man<S>120</S> is born<S>3205</S> unto trouble<S>5999</S>, As the sparks<S>1121</S> fly<S>5774</S> upward<S>1361</S>.


text:
But as for me<S>199</S>, I would seek unto God<S>410</S>, And unto God<S>430</S> would I commit<S>7760</S> my cause<S>1700</S>;


text:
Who doeth<S>6213</S> great things<S>1419</S> and unsearchable<S>369</S>, Marvellous things<S>6381</S> without number<S>4557</S>:


text:
And be it still my consolation<S>5165</S>, Yea<S>5539</S>, let me exult in pain<S>2427</S> that spareth<S>2550</S> not<S>3582</S>, That I have not denied the words<S>561</S> of the Holy One<S>6918</S>.


text:
What is my strength<S>3581</S>, that I should wait<S>3176</S>? And what is mine end<S>7093</S>, that I should be<S>5315</S> patient<S>748</S>?


text:
Is my strength<S>3581</S> the strength<S>3581</S> of stones<S>68</S>? Or is my flesh<S>1320</S> of brass<S>5153</S>?


text:
Is it not that I have no help<S>5833</S> in me<S>8454</S>, And that wisdom is driven quite from me<S>5080</S>?


text:
To him that is ready<S>4523</S> to faint kindness<S>2617</S> should be showed from his friend<S>7453</S>; Even to him that forsaketh<S>5800</S> the fear<S>3374</S> of the Almighty<S>7706</S>.


text:
My brethren<S>251</S> have dealt deceitfully<S>898</S> as a brook<S>5158</S>, As the channel<S>650</S> of brooks<S>5158</S> that pass away<S>5674</S>;


text:
Which are black<S>6937</S> by reason of the ice<S>7140</S>, And wherein the snow<S>7950</S> hideth itself<S>5956</S>:


text:
What time<S>6256</S> they wax warm<S>2215</S>, they vanish<S>6789</S>; When it is hot<S>2527</S>, they are consumed out<S>1846</S> of their place<S>4725</S>.


text:
The caravans<S>734</S> that travel by the way<S>1870</S> of them turn aside<S>3943</S>; They go<S>5927</S> up into the waste<S>8414</S>, and perish<S>6</S>.


text:
The caravans<S>734</S> of Tema<S>8485</S> looked<S>5027</S>, The companies<S>1979</S> of Sheba<S>7614</S> waited for them<S>6960</S>.


text:
Oh that<S>3863</S> my vexation<S>3708</S> were but<S>8254</S> weighed<S>8254</S>, And all my calamity<S>1942</S> laid<S>5375</S> in<S>3162</S> the balances<S>3976</S>!


text:
They were put to shame<S>954</S> because they had hoped<S>982</S>; They came<S>935</S> thither<S>2659</S>, and were confounded.


text:
Did I say<S>559</S>, Give<S>3051</S> unto me<S>3051</S>? Or, Offer a present for me of your substance<S>3581</S>?


text:
Or<S>4422</S>, Deliver me from the adversary<S>6862</S>'s hand<S>3027</S>? Or<S>6299</S>, Redeem me from the hand<S>3027</S> of the oppressors<S>6184</S>?


text:
Teach<S>3384</S> me<S>2790</S>, and I will hold my peace; And cause me to understand<S>995</S> wherein I have erred<S>7686</S>.


text:
How forcible<S>4834</S> are words<S>561</S> of uprightness<S>3476</S>! But your reproof<S>3198</S>, what doth it reprove<S>3198</S>?


text:
Do ye think<S>2803</S> to reprove<S>3198</S> words<S>4405</S>, Seeing that the speeches<S>561</S> of one that is desperate<S>2976</S> are as wind<S>7307</S>?


text:
Yea<S>5307</S>, ye would cast lots upon the fatherless<S>3490</S>, And make merchandise<S>3738</S> of your friend<S>7453</S>.


text:
Now therefore be pleased<S>2974</S> to look<S>6437</S> upon me<S>6440</S>; For surely I shall not lie to your face<S>3576</S>.


text:
Return<S>7725</S>, I pray you<S>5766</S>, let there be no injustice; Yea<S>7725</S>, return again, my cause is righteous<S>6664</S>.


text:
For now it would be heavier<S>3513</S> than the sand<S>2344</S> of the seas<S>3220</S>: Therefore have my words<S>1697</S> been rash<S>3886</S>.


text:
Is there<S>3426</S> injustice<S>5766</S> on my tongue<S>3956</S>? Cannot my taste<S>2441</S> discern<S>995</S> mischievous things<S>1942</S>?


text:
For the arrows<S>2671</S> of the Almighty<S>7706</S> are within<S>5978</S> me<S>2534</S>, The poison whereof my spirit<S>7307</S> drinketh up<S>8354</S>: The terrors<S>1161</S> of God<S>433</S> do set themselves in array against me<S>6186</S>.


text:
Doth the wild ass<S>6501</S> bray<S>5101</S> when he hath grass<S>1877</S>? Or loweth<S>1600</S> the ox<S>7794</S> over his fodder<S>1098</S>?


text:
Can that which hath no savor<S>8602</S> be eaten<S>398</S> without salt<S>4417</S>? Or is there<S>3426</S> any taste<S>2940</S> in the white<S>7388</S> of an egg<S>2495</S>?


text:
My soul<S>5315</S> refuseth<S>3985</S> to touch<S>5060</S> them<S>1741</S>; They are as loathsome food to me<S>3899</S>.


text:
Oh that I might have<S>935</S> my request<S>7596</S>; And that God<S>433</S> would grant<S>5414</S> me the thing that I long for<S>8615</S>!


text:
Even that it would please<S>2974</S> God<S>433</S> to crush<S>1792</S> me<S>5425</S>; That he would let loose his hand<S>3027</S>, and cut me off<S>1214</S>!


text:
Is there not a warfare to man<S>582</S> upon earth<S>776</S>? And are not his days<S>3117</S> like the days<S>3117</S> of a hireling<S>7916</S>?


text:
He shall return<S>7725</S> no more to his house<S>1004</S>, Neither shall his place<S>4725</S> know him any more<S>5234</S>.


text:
Therefore I will not refrain<S>2820</S> my mouth<S>6310</S>; I will speak<S>1696</S> in the anguish<S>6862</S> of my spirit<S>7307</S>; I will complain<S>7878</S> in the bitterness<S>4751</S> of my soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
Am I a sea<S>3220</S>, or a sea-monster<S>8577</S>, That thou settest<S>7760</S> a watch over me<S>4929</S>?


text:
When I say<S>559</S>, My bed<S>6210</S> shall comfort<S>5162</S> me<S>4904</S>, My couch shall ease<S>5375</S> my complaint<S>7879</S>;


text:
Then thou scarest<S>2865</S> me with dreams<S>2472</S>, And terrifiest<S>1204</S> me through visions<S>2384</S>:


text:
So that my soul<S>5315</S> chooseth<S>977</S> strangling<S>4267</S>, And death<S>4194</S> rather than these my bones<S>6106</S>.


text:
I loathe<S>3988</S> my life<S>2421</S>; I would not live alway<S>5769</S>: Let me alone<S>2308</S>; for my days<S>3117</S> are vanity<S>1892</S>.


text:
What is man<S>582</S>, that thou shouldest magnify<S>1431</S> him<S>7896</S>, And that thou shouldest set thy mind upon him<S>3820</S>,


text:
And that thou shouldest visit<S>6485</S> him every morning<S>1242</S>, And try<S>974</S> him every moment<S>7281</S>?


text:
How long<S>4100</S> wilt thou not look away<S>8159</S> from me<S>7503</S>, Nor let me alone till I swallow down<S>1104</S> my spittle<S>7536</S>?


text:
As a servant<S>5650</S> that earnestly desireth<S>7602</S> the shadow<S>6738</S>, And as a hireling<S>7916</S> that looketh<S>6960</S> for his wages<S>6467</S>:


text:
If I have sinned<S>2398</S>, what I unto thee<S>5341</S>, O thou watcher of men<S>120</S>? Why hast thou set<S>7760</S> me as a mark<S>4645</S> for thee<S>4853</S>, So that I am a burden to myself?


text:
And why dost thou not pardon<S>5375</S> my transgression<S>6588</S>, and take away<S>5674</S> mine iniquity<S>5771</S>? For now shall I lie down<S>7901</S> in the dust<S>6083</S>; And thou wilt seek me diligently<S>7836</S>, but I shall not be.


text:
So am I made to possess<S>5157</S> months<S>3391</S> of misery<S>7723</S>, And wearisome<S>5999</S> nights<S>3915</S> are appointed to me<S>4487</S>.


text:
When I lie down<S>7901</S>, I say<S>559</S>, When shall I arise<S>6965</S>, and the night<S>6153</S> be gone<S>4059</S>? And I am full<S>7646</S> of tossings to and fro<S>5076</S> unto the dawning of the day<S>5399</S>.


text:
My flesh<S>1320</S> is clothed<S>3847</S> with worms<S>7415</S> and clods<S>1487</S> of dust<S>6083</S>; My skin<S>5785</S> closeth up<S>7280</S>, and breaketh out afresh<S>3988</S>.


text:
My days<S>3117</S> are swifter<S>7043</S> than a weaver<S>708</S>'s shuttle, And are spent<S>3615</S> without<S>657</S> hope<S>8615</S>.


text:
Oh remember<S>2142</S> that my life<S>2416</S> is a breath<S>7307</S>: Mine eye<S>5869</S> shall no more<S>7725</S> see<S>7200</S> good<S>2896</S>.


text:
The eye<S>5869</S> of him that seeth<S>7210</S> me shall behold<S>7789</S> me no more<S>5869</S>; Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.


text:
As the cloud<S>6051</S> is consumed<S>3615</S> and vanisheth away<S>3212</S>, So he that goeth down<S>3381</S> to Sheol<S>7585</S> shall come up no more<S>5927</S>.


text:
Shall not they teach<S>3384</S> thee<S>559</S>, and tell thee<S>3318</S>, And utter words<S>4405</S> out of their heart<S>3820</S>?


text:
Can the rush<S>1573</S> grow up<S>1342</S> without mire<S>1207</S>? Can<S>7685</S> the flag<S>260</S> grow<S>7685</S> without<S>1097</S> water<S>4325</S>?


text:
Whilst it is yet in its greenness<S>3</S>, and not cut down<S>6998</S>, It withereth<S>3001</S> before<S>6440</S> any other herb<S>2682</S>.


text:
So are the paths<S>734</S> of all that forget<S>7911</S> God<S>410</S>; And the hope<S>8615</S> of the godless<S>2611</S> man shall perish<S>6</S>:


text:
Whose confidence<S>3689</S> shall break in sunder<S>6990</S>, And whose trust<S>4009</S> is a spider<S>5908</S>'s web<S>1004</S>.


text:
He shall lean<S>8172</S> upon his house<S>1004</S>, but it shall not stand<S>5975</S>: He shall hold<S>2388</S> fast thereby<S>6965</S>, but it shall not endure.


text:
He is green<S>7373</S> before<S>6440</S> the sun<S>8121</S>, And his shoots<S>3127</S> go forth<S>3318</S> over his garden<S>1593</S>.


text:
His roots<S>8328</S> are wrapped about<S>5440</S> the stone<S>1530</S> -heap, He beholdeth<S>2372</S> the place<S>1004</S> of stones<S>68</S>.


text:
If he be destroyed<S>1104</S> from his place<S>4725</S>, Then it shall deny<S>3584</S> him<S>7200</S>, saying, I have not seen thee.


text:
Behold<S>4885</S>, this is the joy of his way<S>1870</S>; And out of the earth<S>6083</S> shall others<S>312</S> spring<S>6779</S>.


text:
How<S>575</S> long<S>5704</S> wilt thou speak<S>4448</S> these things<S>561</S>? And how long shall the words of thy mouth<S>6310</S> be like a mighty<S>3524</S> wind<S>7307</S>?


text:
Behold<S>410</S>, God will not cast away<S>3988</S> a perfect<S>8535</S> man<S>2388</S>, Neither will he uphold the evil-doers<S>7489</S>.


text:
He will yet fill<S>4390</S> thy mouth<S>6310</S> with laughter<S>7814</S>, And thy lips<S>8193</S> with shouting<S>8643</S>.


text:
They that hate<S>8130</S> thee shall be clothed<S>3847</S> with shame<S>1322</S>; And the tent<S>168</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S> shall be no more<S>369</S>.


text:
Doth God<S>410</S> pervert<S>5791</S> justice<S>4941</S>? Or doth the Almighty<S>7706</S> pervert<S>5791</S> righteousness<S>6664</S>?


text:
If thy children<S>1121</S> have sinned<S>2398</S> against him<S>7971</S>, And he hath delivered them into the hand of<S>3027</S> their transgression<S>6588</S>;


text:
If thou wouldest seek<S>7836</S> diligently<S>7836</S> unto God<S>410</S>, And make thy supplication<S>2603</S> to the Almighty<S>7706</S>;


text:
If thou wert pure<S>2134</S> and upright<S>3477</S>: Surely now he would awake<S>5782</S> for thee<S>5116</S>, And make the habitation of thy righteousness<S>6664</S> prosperous<S>7999</S>.


text:
And though thy beginning<S>7225</S> was small<S>4705</S>, Yet thy latter end<S>319</S> would greatly<S>3966</S> increase<S>7685</S>.


text:
For inquire<S>7592</S>, I pray thee<S>7223</S>, of the former age<S>1755</S>, And apply<S>3559</S> thyself to that which their fathers<S>1</S> have searched out<S>2714</S>:


text:
(For we are but of yesterday<S>8543</S>, and know<S>3045</S> nothing<S>3117</S>, Because our days upon earth<S>776</S> are a shadow<S>6738</S>);


text:
That doeth<S>6213</S> great things<S>1419</S> past<S>369</S> finding out<S>2714</S>, Yea<S>6381</S>, marvellous things without number<S>4557</S>.


text:
Lo<S>5674</S>, he goeth by me<S>7200</S>, and I see him not<S>2498</S>: He passeth on also<S>995</S>, but I perceive him not.


text:
Behold<S>2862</S>, he seizeth the prey<S>7725</S>, who can hinder him<S>559</S>? Who will say unto him<S>6213</S>, What doest thou?


text:
God<S>433</S> will not withdraw<S>7725</S> his anger<S>639</S>; The helpers<S>5826</S> of Rahab<S>7293</S> do stoop under him<S>7817</S>.


text:
How much less shall I answer<S>6030</S> him<S>977</S>, And choose out my words to reason with him<S>1697</S>?


text:
Whom<S>6663</S>, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer<S>6030</S>; I would make supplication<S>2603</S> to my judge<S>8199</S>.


text:
If I had called<S>7121</S>, and he had answered<S>6030</S> me<S>539</S>, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened<S>238</S> unto my voice<S>6963</S>.


text:
For he breaketh<S>7779</S> me with a tempest<S>8183</S>, And multiplieth<S>7235</S> my wounds<S>6482</S> without cause<S>2600</S>.


text:
He will not suffer<S>5414</S> me to take<S>7725</S> my breath<S>7307</S>, But filleth<S>7646</S> me with bitterness<S>4472</S>.


text:
If we speak of strength<S>3581</S>, lo<S>533</S>, he is mighty! And if of justice<S>4941</S>, Who<S>3259</S>, saith he, will summon me?


text:
Of a truth<S>551</S> I know<S>3045</S> that it is so<S>582</S>: But how can man be just<S>6663</S> with God<S>410</S>?


text:
Though I be righteous<S>6663</S>, mine own mouth<S>6310</S> shall condemn<S>7561</S> me<S>8535</S>: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse<S>6140</S>.


text:
I am perfect<S>8535</S>; I regard<S>3045</S> not myself<S>5315</S>; I despise<S>3988</S> my life<S>5315</S>.


text:
It is all one<S>259</S>; therefore I say<S>559</S>, He destroyeth<S>3615</S> the perfect<S>8535</S> and the wicked<S>7563</S>.


text:
If the scourge<S>7752</S> slay<S>4191</S> suddenly<S>6597</S>, He will mock<S>3932</S> at the trial<S>4531</S> of the innocent<S>5355</S>.


text:
The earth<S>776</S> is given<S>5414</S> into the hand<S>3027</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S>; He covereth<S>3680</S> the faces<S>6440</S> of the judges<S>8199</S> thereof<S>645</S>: If it be not he, who then is it?


text:
Now my days<S>3117</S> are swifter<S>7043</S> than a post<S>7323</S>: They flee away<S>1272</S>, they see<S>7200</S> no good<S>2896</S>,


text:
They are passed away<S>2498</S> as<S>5973</S> the swift<S>16</S> ships<S>591</S>; As the eagle<S>5404</S> that swoopeth<S>2907</S> on the prey<S>400</S>.


text:
If I say<S>559</S>, I will forget<S>7911</S> my complaint<S>7879</S>, I will put off<S>5800</S> my sad countenance<S>6440</S>, and be of good cheer<S>1082</S>;


text:
I am afraid<S>3025</S> of all my sorrows<S>6094</S>, I know<S>3045</S> that thou wilt not hold me innocent<S>5352</S>.


text:
If he be<S>2654</S> pleased to contend<S>7378</S> with him<S>6030</S>, He cannot answer him one<S>259</S> of a thousand<S>505</S>.


text:
If I wash<S>7364</S> myself with<S>7950</S> snow water<S>4325</S>, And make my hands<S>3709</S> never<S>1252</S> so clean<S>2141</S>;


text:
Yet<S>227</S> wilt thou plunge<S>2881</S> me in the ditch<S>7845</S>, And mine own clothes<S>8008</S> shall abhor me<S>8581</S>.


text:
For he is not a man<S>376</S>, as I am<S>6030</S>, that I should answer him<S>935</S>, That we should come together<S>3162</S> in judgment<S>4941</S>.


text:
There is<S>3426</S> no umpire<S>3198</S> betwixt us<S>7896</S>, That might lay his hand<S>3027</S> upon us both<S>8147</S>.


text:
Let him take<S>5493</S> his rod<S>7626</S> away<S>5493</S> from me<S>367</S>, And let not his terror make me afraid<S>367</S>:


text:
He is wise<S>2450</S> in heart<S>3824</S>, and mighty<S>533</S> in strength<S>3581</S>: Who hath hardened<S>7185</S> himself against him<S>7999</S>, and prospered? --


text:
Him that removeth<S>6275</S> the mountains<S>2022</S>, and they know<S>3045</S> it not<S>2015</S>, When he overturneth them in his anger<S>639</S>;


text:
That shaketh<S>7264</S> the earth<S>776</S> out of its place<S>4725</S>, And the pillars<S>5982</S> thereof tremble<S>6426</S>;


text:
That commandeth<S>559</S> the sun<S>2775</S>, and it riseth<S>2224</S> not<S>2856</S>, And sealeth up the stars<S>3556</S>;


text:
That alone stretcheth out<S>5186</S> the heavens<S>8064</S>, And treadeth<S>1869</S> upon the waves<S>1116</S> of the sea<S>3220</S>;


text:
That maketh<S>6213</S> the Bear<S>5906</S>, Orion<S>3685</S>, and the Pleiades<S>3598</S>, And the chambers<S>2315</S> of the south<S>8486</S>;


text:
Blessed<S>835</S> is the man<S>376</S> that walketh<S>1980</S> not in the counsel<S>6098</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S>, Nor standeth<S>5975</S> in the way<S>1870</S> of sinners<S>2400</S>, Nor sitteth<S>3427</S> in the seat<S>4186</S> of scoffers<S>3887</S>:


text:
But his delight<S>2656</S> is in the law<S>8451</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>; And on his law<S>8451</S> doth he meditate<S>1897</S> day<S>3119</S> and night<S>3915</S>.


text:
And he shall be like a tree<S>6086</S> planted<S>8362</S> by the streams<S>6388</S> of water<S>4325</S>, That bringeth forth<S>5414</S> its fruit<S>6529</S> in its season<S>6256</S>, Whose leaf<S>5929</S> also doth not wither<S>5034</S>; And whatsoever he doeth<S>6213</S> shall prosper<S>6743</S>.


text:
The wicked<S>7563</S> are not so<S>4671</S>, But are like the chaff which the wind<S>7307</S> driveth away<S>5086</S>.


text:
Therefore the wicked<S>7563</S> shall not stand<S>6965</S> in the judgment<S>4941</S>, Nor sinners<S>2400</S> in the congregation<S>5712</S> of the righteous<S>6662</S>.


text:
For Jehovah<S>3068</S> knoweth<S>3045</S> the way<S>1870</S> of the righteous<S>6662</S>; But the way<S>1870</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S> shall perish<S>6</S>.


text:
Why standest<S>5975</S> thou afar off<S>7350</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S>? Why hidest<S>5956</S> thou thyself in times<S>6256</S> of trouble<S>6869</S>?


text:
He croucheth<S>1794</S>, he boweth<S>7817</S> down<S>2489</S>, And the helpless fall<S>5307</S> by his strong ones<S>6099</S>.


text:
He saith<S>559</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>, God<S>410</S> hath forgotten<S>7911</S>; He hideth<S>5641</S> his face<S>6440</S>; he will never<S>5331</S> see it<S>7200</S>.


text:
Arise<S>6965</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S>; O God<S>410</S>, lift up<S>5375</S> thy hand<S>3027</S>: Forget<S>7911</S> not the poor<S>6035</S>.


text:
Wherefore doth the wicked<S>7563</S> contemn<S>5006</S> God<S>430</S>, And say<S>559</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>, Thou wilt not require it<S>1875</S>?


text:
Thou hast seen<S>7200</S> it<S>5027</S>; for thou beholdest mischief<S>5999</S> and spite<S>3708</S>, to requite<S>5414</S> it with thy hand<S>3027</S>: The helpless<S>2489</S> committeth<S>5800</S> himself unto thee<S>5826</S>; Thou hast been the helper of the fatherless<S>3490</S>.


text:
Break<S>7665</S> thou the arm<S>2220</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S>; And as for the evil<S>7451</S> man<S>1875</S>, seek out his wickedness<S>7562</S> till thou find<S>4672</S> none<S>1077</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> is King<S>4428</S> for ever<S>5769</S> and ever<S>5769</S>: The nations<S>1471</S> are perished<S>6</S> out of his land<S>776</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S>, thou hast heard<S>8085</S> the desire<S>8378</S> of the meek<S>6035</S>: Thou wilt prepare<S>3559</S> their heart<S>3820</S>, thou wilt cause thine ear<S>241</S> to hear<S>7181</S>;


text:
To judge<S>8199</S> the fatherless<S>3490</S> and the oppressed<S>1790</S>, That man<S>582</S> who is of the earth<S>776</S> may be terrible<S>6206</S> no more<S>3254</S>.


text:
In the pride<S>1346</S> of the wicked<S>7563</S> the poor<S>6041</S> is hotly pursued<S>1814</S>; Let them be taken<S>8610</S> in the devices<S>4209</S> that<S>2098</S> they have conceived<S>2803</S>.


text:
For the wicked<S>7563</S> boasteth<S>1984</S> of his heart<S>5315</S>'s desire<S>8378</S>, And the covetous<S>1214</S> renounceth<S>1288</S>, yea<S>5006</S>, contemneth Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
The wicked<S>7563</S>, in the pride<S>1363</S> of his countenance<S>639</S>, saith<S>1875</S>, He will not require it<S>4209</S>. All his thoughts are<S>430</S>, There is no God.


text:
His ways<S>1870</S> are firm<S>2342</S> at all times<S>6256</S>; Thy judgments<S>4941</S> are far above<S>4791</S> out of his sight<S>6887</S>: As for all his adversaries, he puffeth at them<S>6315</S>.


text:
He saith<S>559</S> in his heart<S>3820</S>, I shall not be moved<S>4131</S>; To all generations<S>1755</S> I shall not be in adversity<S>7451</S>.


text:
His mouth<S>6310</S> is full<S>4390</S> of cursing<S>423</S> and deceit<S>4820</S> and oppression<S>8496</S>: Under his tongue<S>3956</S> is mischief<S>5999</S> and iniquity<S>205</S>.


text:
He sitteth<S>3427</S> in the lurking-places<S>3993</S> of the villages<S>2691</S>; In the secret places<S>3993</S> doth he murder<S>2026</S> the innocent<S>5355</S>; His eyes<S>5869</S> are privily set<S>6845</S> against the helpless<S>2489</S>.


text:
He lurketh<S>693</S> in secret<S>4565</S> as a lion<S>738</S> in his covert<S>5520</S>; He lieth in wait<S>693</S> to catch<S>2414</S> the poor<S>6041</S>: He doth catch<S>2414</S> the poor<S>6041</S>, when he draweth<S>4900</S> him in his net<S>7568</S>.


text:
<n>A Psalm of thanksgiving.</n> Make a joyful noise<S>7321</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, all ye lands<S>776</S>.


text:
Serve<S>5647</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S> with gladness<S>8057</S>: Come<S>935</S> before his presence<S>6440</S> with singing<S>7445</S>.


text:
Know<S>3045</S> ye that Jehovah<S>3068</S>, he is God<S>430</S>: It is he that hath made<S>6213</S> us<S>5971</S>, and we are his; We are his people, and the sheep<S>6629</S> of his pasture<S>4830</S>.


text:
Enter<S>935</S> into his gates<S>8179</S> with thanksgiving<S>8426</S>, And into his courts<S>2691</S> with praise<S>8416</S>: Give thanks<S>3034</S> unto him<S>1288</S>, and bless his name<S>8034</S>.


text:
For Jehovah<S>3068</S> is good<S>2896</S>; His lovingkindness<S>2617</S> endureth for ever<S>5769</S>, And his faithfulness<S>530</S> unto all<S>1755</S> generations<S>1755</S>.


text:
<n>A Psalm of David.</n> I will sing<S>7891</S> of lovingkindness<S>2617</S> and justice<S>4941</S>: Unto thee<S>3068</S>, O Jehovah, will I sing praises<S>2167</S>.


text:
I will behave myself wisely<S>7919</S> in a perfect<S>8549</S> way<S>1870</S>: Oh when wilt thou come<S>935</S> unto me<S>1980</S>? I will walk within<S>7130</S> my house<S>1004</S> with a perfect<S>8537</S> heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
I will set<S>7896</S> no base<S>1100</S> thing<S>1697</S> before mine eyes<S>5869</S>: I hate<S>8130</S> the work<S>6213</S> of them that turn aside<S>7750</S>; It shall not cleave unto me<S>1692</S>.


text:
A perverse<S>6141</S> heart<S>3824</S> shall depart<S>5493</S> from me<S>3045</S>: I will know no evil thing<S>7451</S>.


text:
Whoso privily<S>5643</S> slandereth<S>3960</S> his neighbor<S>7453</S>, him will I destroy<S>6789</S>: Him that hath a high<S>1362</S> look<S>5869</S> and a proud<S>7342</S> heart<S>3824</S> will I not suffer<S>3201</S>.


text:
Mine eyes<S>5869</S> shall be upon the faithful<S>539</S> of the land<S>776</S>, that they may dwell<S>3427</S> with me<S>1980</S>: He that walketh in a perfect<S>8549</S> way<S>1870</S>, he shall minister unto me<S>8334</S>.


text:
He that worketh<S>6213</S> deceit<S>7423</S> shall not dwell<S>3427</S> within<S>7130</S> my house<S>1004</S>: He that speaketh<S>1696</S> falsehood<S>8267</S> shall not be established<S>3559</S> before mine eyes<S>5869</S>.


text:
Morning<S>1242</S> by morning will I destroy<S>6789</S> all the wicked<S>7563</S> of the land<S>776</S>; To cut off<S>3772</S> all the workers<S>6466</S> of iniquity<S>205</S> from the city<S>5892</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
<n>A Prayer of the afflicted, when he is overwhelmed, and poureth out his complaint before Jehovah.</n> Hear<S>8085</S> my prayer<S>8605</S>, O Jehovah<S>3068</S>, And let my cry<S>7775</S> come unto thee<S>935</S>.


text:
Because<S>6440</S> of thine indignation<S>2195</S> and thy wrath<S>7110</S>: For thou hast taken me up<S>5375</S>, and cast me away<S>7993</S>.


text:
My days<S>3117</S> are like a shadow<S>6738</S> that declineth<S>5186</S>; And I am withered<S>3001</S> like grass<S>6212</S>.


text:
But thou<S>3068</S>, O Jehovah, wilt abide<S>3427</S> for ever<S>5769</S>; And thy memorial<S>2143</S> name unto all<S>1755</S> generations<S>1755</S>.


text:
Thou wilt arise<S>6965</S>, and have mercy<S>7355</S> upon Zion<S>6726</S>; For it is time<S>6256</S> to have pity<S>2603</S> upon her<S>4150</S>, Yea, the set time is come<S>935</S>.


text:
For thy servants<S>5650</S> take pleasure<S>7521</S> in her stones<S>68</S>, And have pity<S>2603</S> upon her dust<S>6083</S>.


text:
So the nations<S>1471</S> shall fear<S>3372</S> the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S>, And all the kings<S>4428</S> of the earth<S>776</S> thy glory<S>3519</S>.


text:
For Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath built up<S>1129</S> Zion<S>6726</S>; He hath appeared<S>7200</S> in his glory<S>3519</S>.


text:
He hath regarded<S>6437</S> the prayer<S>8605</S> of the destitute<S>6199</S>, And hath not despised<S>959</S> their prayer<S>8605</S>.


text:
This shall be written<S>3789</S> for the generation<S>1755</S> to come<S>314</S>; And a people<S>5971</S> which shall be created<S>1254</S> shall praise<S>1984</S> Jehovah<S>3050</S>.


text:
For he hath looked down<S>8259</S> from the height<S>4791</S> of his sanctuary<S>6944</S>; From heaven<S>8064</S> did Jehovah<S>3068</S> behold<S>5027</S> the earth<S>776</S>;


text:
Hide<S>5641</S> not thy face<S>6440</S> from me in the day<S>3117</S> of my distress<S>6862</S>: Incline<S>5186</S> thine ear<S>241</S> unto me<S>3117</S>; In the day when I call<S>7121</S> answer<S>6030</S> me speedily<S>4118</S>.


text:
To hear<S>8085</S> the sighing<S>603</S> of the prisoner<S>615</S>; To loose<S>6605</S> those that are appointed<S>1121</S> to death<S>8546</S>;


text:
That men may declare<S>5608</S> the name<S>8034</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> in Zion<S>6726</S>, And his praise<S>8416</S> in Jerusalem<S>3389</S>;


text:
When the peoples<S>5971</S> are gathered<S>6908</S> together<S>3162</S>, And the kingdoms<S>4467</S>, to serve<S>5647</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
He weakened<S>6031</S> my strength<S>3581</S> in the way<S>1870</S>; He shortened<S>7114</S> my days<S>3117</S>.


text:
I said<S>559</S>, O my God<S>410</S>, take me not away<S>5927</S> in the midst<S>2677</S> of my days<S>3117</S>: Thy years<S>8141</S> are throughout all<S>1755</S> generations<S>1755</S>.


text:
Of old<S>6440</S> didst thou lay the foundation<S>3245</S> of the earth<S>776</S>; And the heavens<S>8064</S> are the work<S>4639</S> of thy hands<S>3027</S>.


text:
They shall perish<S>6</S>, but thou shalt endure<S>5975</S>; Yea<S>1086</S>, all of them shall wax old like a garment<S>899</S>; As a vesture<S>3830</S> shalt thou change<S>2498</S> them<S>2498</S>, and they shall be changed:


text:
The children<S>1121</S> of thy servants<S>5650</S> shall continue<S>7931</S>, And their seed<S>2233</S> shall be established<S>3559</S> before thee<S>6440</S>.


text:
For my days<S>3117</S> consume<S>3615</S> away like smoke<S>6227</S>, And my bones<S>6106</S> are burned<S>2787</S> as a firebrand<S>4168</S>.


text:
My heart<S>3820</S> is smitten<S>5221</S> like grass<S>6212</S>, and withered<S>3001</S>; For I forget<S>7911</S> to eat<S>398</S> my bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
By reason of the voice<S>6963</S> of my groaning<S>585</S> My bones<S>6106</S> cleave<S>1692</S> to my flesh<S>1320</S>.


text:
I am like<S>1819</S> a pelican<S>6893</S> of the wilderness<S>4057</S>; I am become as an owl<S>3563</S> of the waste places<S>2723</S>.


text:
I watch<S>8245</S>, and am become like a sparrow<S>6833</S> That is alone<S>909</S> upon the house-top<S>1406</S>.


text:
Mine enemies<S>341</S> reproach<S>2778</S> me all the day<S>3117</S>; They that are mad<S>1984</S> against me do curse by me<S>7650</S>.


text:
For I have eaten<S>398</S> ashes<S>665</S> like bread<S>3899</S>, And mingled<S>4537</S> my drink<S>8249</S> with weeping<S>1065</S>,


text:
<n>A Psalm of David.</n> Bless<S>1288</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, O my soul<S>5315</S>; And all that is within<S>7130</S> me<S>6944</S>, bless his holy name<S>8034</S>.


text:
He hath not dealt<S>6213</S> with us after our sins<S>2399</S>, Nor rewarded<S>1580</S> us after our iniquities<S>5771</S>.


text:
For as the heavens<S>8064</S> are high above<S>1361</S> the earth<S>776</S>, So great<S>1396</S> is his lovingkindness<S>2617</S> toward them that fear him<S>3373</S>.


text:
As far as<S>7368</S> the east<S>4217</S> is from the west<S>4628</S>, So far hath he removed<S>7368</S> our transgressions from us<S>6588</S>.


text:
Like as a father<S>1</S> pitieth<S>7355</S> his children<S>1121</S>, So Jehovah<S>3068</S> pitieth<S>7355</S> them that fear him<S>3373</S>.


text:
For he knoweth<S>3045</S> our frame<S>3336</S>; He remembereth<S>2142</S> that we are dust<S>6083</S>.


text:
As for man<S>582</S>, his days<S>3117</S> are as grass<S>2682</S>; As a flower<S>6731</S> of the field<S>7704</S>, so he flourisheth<S>6692</S>.


text:
For the wind<S>7307</S> passeth over<S>5674</S> it<S>4725</S>, and it is gone; And the place thereof shall know it no more<S>5234</S>.


text:
But the lovingkindness<S>2617</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> is from everlasting<S>5769</S> to<S>5704</S> everlasting<S>5769</S> upon them that fear<S>3373</S> him<S>6666</S>, And his righteousness unto children<S>1121</S>'s children<S>1121</S>;


text:
To such as keep<S>8104</S> his covenant<S>1285</S>, And to those that remember<S>2142</S> his precepts<S>6490</S> to do them<S>6213</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> hath established<S>3559</S> his throne<S>3678</S> in the heavens<S>8064</S>; And his kingdom<S>4438</S> ruleth over all<S>4910</S>.

Bless<S>1288</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, O my soul<S>5315</S>, And forget<S>7911</S> not all his benefits<S>1576</S>:


text:
Bless<S>1288</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, ye his angels<S>4397</S>, That are mighty<S>1368</S> in strength<S>3581</S>, that fulfil<S>6213</S> his word<S>1697</S>, Hearkening<S>8085</S> unto the voice<S>6963</S> of his word<S>1697</S>.


text:
Bless<S>1288</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, all ye his hosts<S>6635</S>, Ye ministers<S>8334</S> of his<S>6213</S>, that do his pleasure<S>7522</S>.


text:
Bless<S>1288</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, all ye his works<S>4639</S>, In all places<S>4725</S> of his dominion<S>4475</S>: Bless<S>1288</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, O my soul<S>5315</S>.


text:
Who forgiveth<S>5545</S> all thine iniquities<S>5771</S>; Who healeth<S>7495</S> all thy diseases<S>8463</S>;


text:
Who redeemeth<S>1350</S> thy life<S>2416</S> from destruction<S>7845</S>; Who crowneth<S>5849</S> thee with lovingkindness<S>2617</S> and tender mercies<S>7356</S>;


text:
Who satisfieth<S>7646</S> thy desire<S>5716</S> with good<S>2896</S> things<S>5271</S>, So that thy youth is renewed like the eagle<S>2318</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> executeth<S>6213</S> righteous<S>6666</S> acts<S>4941</S>, And judgments for all that are oppressed<S>6231</S>.


text:
He made known<S>3045</S> his ways<S>1870</S> unto Moses<S>4872</S>, His doings<S>5949</S> unto the children<S>1121</S> of Israel<S>3478</S>.


text:
Jehovah<S>3068</S> is merciful<S>7349</S> and gracious<S>2587</S>, Slow<S>750</S> to anger<S>639</S>, and abundant<S>7227</S> in lovingkindness<S>2617</S>.


text:
He will not always<S>5331</S> chide<S>7378</S>; Neither will he keep<S>5201</S> his anger for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
Bless<S>1288</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>, O my soul<S>5315</S>. O Jehovah<S>3068</S> my God<S>430</S>, thou art very<S>3966</S> great<S>1431</S>; Thou art clothed<S>3847</S> with honor<S>1935</S> and majesty<S>1926</S>:


text:
He sendeth<S>7971</S> forth springs<S>4599</S> into the valleys<S>5158</S>; They run<S>1980</S> among the mountains<S>2022</S>;


text:
They give drink<S>8248</S> to every beast<S>2416</S> of the field<S>7704</S>; The wild asses<S>6501</S> quench<S>7665</S> their thirst<S>6772</S>.


text:
By them the birds<S>5775</S> of the heavens<S>8064</S> have their habitation<S>7931</S>; They sing<S>5414</S> among<S>996</S> the branches<S>6073</S>.


text:
He watereth<S>8248</S> the mountains<S>2022</S> from his chambers<S>5944</S>: The earth<S>776</S> is filled<S>7646</S> with the fruit<S>6529</S> of thy works<S>4639</S>.


text:
He causeth the grass<S>2682</S> to grow<S>6779</S> for the cattle<S>929</S>, And herb<S>6212</S> for the service<S>5656</S> of man<S>120</S>; That he may bring forth<S>3318</S> food<S>3899</S> out of the earth<S>776</S>,


text:
And wine<S>3196</S> that maketh glad<S>8055</S> the heart<S>3824</S> of man<S>582</S>, And oil<S>8081</S> to make his face<S>6440</S> to shine<S>6670</S>, And bread<S>3899</S> that strengtheneth<S>5582</S> man<S>582</S>'s heart<S>3824</S>.


text:
The trees<S>6086</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> are filled<S>7646</S> with moisture<S>730</S>, The cedars of Lebanon<S>3844</S>, which he hath planted<S>5193</S>;


text:
Where the birds<S>6833</S> make their nests<S>7077</S>: As for the stork<S>2624</S>, the fir-trees<S>1265</S> are her house<S>1004</S>.


text:
The high<S>1364</S> mountains<S>2022</S> are for the wild goats<S>3277</S>; The rocks<S>5553</S> are a refuge<S>4268</S> for the conies<S>8227</S>.


text:
He appointed<S>6213</S> the moon<S>3394</S> for seasons<S>4150</S>: The sun<S>8121</S> knoweth<S>3045</S> his going down<S>3996</S>.


text:
Who coverest<S>5844</S> thyself with light<S>216</S> as with a garment<S>8008</S>; Who stretchest out<S>5186</S> the heavens<S>8064</S> like a curtain<S>3407</S>;


text:
Thou makest<S>7896</S> darkness<S>2822</S>, and it is night<S>3915</S>, Wherein all the beasts<S>2416</S> of the forest<S>3293</S> creep forth<S>7430</S>.


text:
The young lions<S>3715</S> roar<S>7580</S> after their prey<S>2964</S>, And seek<S>1245</S> their food<S>400</S> from God<S>410</S>.


text:
The sun<S>8121</S> ariseth<S>2224</S>, they get them away<S>622</S>, And lay them down<S>7257</S> in their dens<S>4585</S>.


text:
Man<S>120</S> goeth forth<S>3318</S> unto his work<S>6467</S> And to his labor<S>5656</S> until the evening<S>6153</S>.


text:
O Jehovah<S>3068</S>, how manifold<S>7231</S> are thy works<S>4639</S>! In wisdom<S>2451</S> hast thou made<S>6213</S> them all<S>776</S>: The earth is full<S>4390</S> of thy riches<S>7075</S>.


text:
Yonder is the sea<S>3220</S>, great<S>1419</S> and wide<S>7342</S>, Wherein are things creeping<S>7431</S> innumerable<S>4557</S>, Both small<S>6996</S> and great<S>1419</S> beasts<S>2416</S>.


text:
There go<S>1980</S> the ships<S>591</S>; There is leviathan<S>3882</S>, whom thou hast formed<S>3335</S> to play therein<S>7832</S>.


text:
These wait<S>7663</S> all for thee<S>5414</S>, That thou mayest give them their food<S>400</S> in due season<S>6256</S>.


text:
Thou givest<S>5414</S> unto them<S>3950</S>, they gather; Thou openest<S>6605</S> thy hand<S>3027</S>, they are satisfied<S>7646</S> with good<S>2896</S>.


text:
Thou hidest<S>5641</S> thy face<S>6440</S>, they are troubled<S>926</S>; Thou takest away<S>622</S> their breath<S>7307</S>, they die<S>1478</S>, And return<S>7725</S> to their dust<S>6083</S>.


text:
Who layeth the beams<S>7136</S> of his chambers<S>5944</S> in the waters<S>4325</S>; Who maketh<S>7760</S> the clouds<S>5645</S> his chariot<S>7398</S>; Who walketh<S>1980</S> upon the wings<S>3671</S> of the wind<S>7307</S>;


text:
Thou sendest<S>7971</S> forth thy Spirit<S>7307</S>, they are created<S>1254</S>; And thou renewest<S>2318</S> the face<S>6440</S> of the ground<S>127</S>.


text:
Let the glory<S>3519</S> of Jehovah<S>3068</S> endure for ever<S>5769</S>; Let Jehovah<S>3068</S> rejoice<S>8055</S> in his works<S>4639</S>:


text:
Who looketh<S>5027</S> on the earth<S>776</S>, and it trembleth<S>7460</S>; He toucheth<S>5060</S> the mountains<S>2022</S>, and they smoke<S>6225</S>.


text:
I will sing<S>7891</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S> as long as I live<S>2416</S>: I will sing<S>2167</S> praise to my God<S>430</S> while I have any being<S>5750</S>.


text:
Let thy meditation<S>7879</S> be sweet<S>6149</S> unto him<S>8055</S>: I will rejoice in Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Let sinners<S>2400</S> be consumed<S>8552</S> out of the earth<S>776</S>. And let the wicked<S>7563</S> be no more<S>1288</S>. Bless Jehovah<S>3068</S>, O my soul<S>5315</S>. Praise<S>1288</S> ye Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Who maketh<S>6213</S> winds<S>7307</S> his messengers<S>4397</S>; Flames<S>3857</S> of fire<S>784</S> his ministers<S>8334</S>;


text:
Who laid<S>3245</S> the foundations<S>4349</S> of the earth<S>776</S>, That it should not be moved<S>4131</S> for ever<S>5769</S>.


text:
Thou coveredst<S>3680</S> it with the deep<S>8415</S> as with a vesture<S>3830</S>; The waters<S>4325</S> stood<S>5975</S> above the mountains<S>2022</S>.


text:
At<S>4480</S> thy rebuke<S>1606</S> they fled<S>5127</S>; At the voice<S>6963</S> of thy thunder<S>7482</S> they hasted away<S>2648</S>


text:
(The mountains<S>2022</S> rose<S>5927</S>, the valleys<S>1237</S> sank down<S>3381</S>) Unto the place<S>4725</S> which<S>2088</S> thou hadst founded for them<S>3245</S>.


text:
Thou hast set<S>7760</S> a bound<S>1366</S> that they may not pass over<S>5674</S>; That they turn not again<S>7725</S> to cover<S>3680</S> the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
Oh give thanks<S>3034</S> unto Jehovah<S>3068</S>, call<S>7121</S> upon his name<S>8034</S>; Make known<S>3045</S> among the peoples<S>5971</S> his doings<S>5949</S>.


text:
When they were but a few men<S>4962</S> in number<S>4557</S>, Yea<S>4592</S>, very few, and sojourners in it<S>1481</S>.


text:
And they went<S>1980</S> about from nation<S>1471</S> to nation<S>4467</S>, From one kingdom to another<S>312</S> people<S>5971</S>.


text:
He suffered<S>3240</S> no man<S>120</S> to do them wrong<S>6231</S>; Yea<S>3198</S>, he reproved kings for their sakes<S>4428</S>,


text:
And he called<S>7121</S> for a famine<S>7458</S> upon the land<S>776</S>; He brake<S>7665</S> the whole staff<S>4294</S> of bread<S>3899</S>.


text:
He sent<S>7971</S> a man<S>376</S> before<S>6440</S> them<S>3130</S>; Joseph was sold<S>4376</S> for a servant<S>5650</S>:


text:
His feet<S>7272</S> they hurt<S>6031</S> with fetters<S>3525</S>: He<S>5315</S> was laid<S>935</S> in chains of iron<S>1270</S>,


text:
Until the time<S>6256</S> that his word<S>1697</S> came<S>935</S> to pass<S>565</S>, The word of Jehovah<S>3068</S> tried him<S>6884</S>.


text:
Sing<S>7891</S> unto him<S>2167</S>, sing praises unto him<S>7878</S>; Talk ye of all his marvelous works<S>6381</S>.


text:
The king<S>4428</S> sent<S>7971</S> and loosed<S>5425</S> him<S>4910</S>; Even the ruler of peoples<S>5971</S>, and let him go free<S>6605</S>.


text:
He made<S>7760</S> him lord<S>113</S> of his house<S>1004</S>, And ruler<S>4910</S> of all his substance<S>7075</S>;


text:
To bind<S>631</S> his princes<S>8269</S> at his pleasure<S>5315</S>, And teach his elders<S>2205</S> wisdom<S>2449</S>.


text:
Israel<S>3478</S> also came<S>935</S> into Egypt<S>4714</S>; And Jacob<S>3290</S> sojourned<S>1481</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Ham<S>2526</S>.


text:
And he increased<S>6509</S> his people<S>5971</S> greatly<S>3966</S>, And made them stronger<S>6105</S> than their adversaries<S>6862</S>.


text:
He turned<S>2015</S> their heart<S>3820</S> to hate<S>8130</S> his people<S>5971</S>, To deal subtly<S>5230</S> with his servants<S>5650</S>.


text:
He sent<S>7971</S> Moses<S>4872</S> his servant<S>5650</S>, And Aaron<S>175</S> whom he had chosen<S>977</S>.


text:
They set<S>7760</S> among them his signs<S>226</S>, And wonders<S>4159</S> in the land<S>776</S> of Ham<S>2526</S>.


text:
He sent<S>7971</S> darkness<S>2822</S>, and made it dark<S>2821</S>; And they rebelled<S>4784</S> not against his words<S>1697</S>.


text:
He turned<S>2015</S> their waters<S>4325</S> into blood<S>1818</S>, And slew<S>4191</S> their fish<S>1710</S>.


text:
Glory<S>1984</S> ye in his holy<S>6944</S> name<S>8034</S>: Let the heart<S>3820</S> of them rejoice<S>8055</S> that seek<S>1245</S> Jehovah<S>3068</S>.


text:
Their land<S>776</S> swarmed<S>8317</S> with<S>8317</S> frogs<S>6854</S> In the chambers<S>2315</S> of their kings<S>4428</S>.


text:
He spake<S>559</S>, and there came<S>935</S> swarms of flies<S>6157</S>, And lice<S>3654</S> in all their borders<S>1366</S>.


text:
He gave<S>5414</S> them hail<S>1259</S> for rain<S>1653</S>, And flaming<S>3852</S> fire<S>784</S> in their land<S>776</S>.


text:
He smote<S>5221</S> their vines<S>1612</S> also and their fig-trees<S>8384</S>, And brake<S>7665</S> the trees<S>8384</S> of their borders<S>1366</S>.


text:
He spake<S>559</S>, and the locust<S>697</S> came<S>935</S>, And the grasshopper<S>3218</S>, and that without number<S>4557</S>,


text:
And did eat up<S>398</S> every herb<S>6212</S> in their land<S>776</S>, And did eat<S>398</S> up the fruit<S>6529</S> of their ground<S>127</S>.


text:
He smote<S>5221</S> also all the first-born<S>1060</S> in their land<S>776</S>, The chief<S>7225</S> of all their strength<S>202</S>.


text:
And he brought them forth<S>3318</S> with silver<S>3701</S> and gold<S>2091</S>; And there was not one feeble<S>3782</S> person among his tribes<S>7626</S>.


text:
Egypt<S>4714</S> was glad<S>8055</S> when they departed<S>3318</S>; For the fear<S>6343</S> of them had fallen upon them<S>5307</S>.


text:
He spread<S>6566</S> a cloud<S>6051</S> for a covering<S>4539</S>, And fire<S>784</S> to give light<S>215</S> in the night<S>3915</S>.


text:
They asked<S>7592</S>, and he brought<S>935</S> quails<S>7958</S>, And satisfied<S>7646</S> them with the bread<S>3899</S> of heaven<S>8064</S>.


text:
He opened<S>6605</S> the rock<S>6697</S>, and waters<S>4325</S> gushed out<S>2100</S>; They ran<S>1980</S> in the dry places<S>6723</S> like a river<S>5104</S>.


text:
For he remembered<S>2142</S> his holy<S>6944</S> word<S>1697</S>, And Abraham<S>85</S> his servant<S>5650</S>.


text:
And he brought forth<S>3318</S> his people<S>5971</S> with joy<S>8342</S>, And his chosen<S>972</S> with singing<S>7440</S>.


text:
And he gave<S>5414</S> them the lands<S>776</S> of the nations<S>1471</S>; And they took the labor<S>5999</S> of the peoples<S>3816</S> in possession<S>3423</S>:


text:
That they might keep<S>8104</S> his statutes<S>2706</S>, And observe<S>8104</S> his laws<S>8451</S>. Praise<S>1984</S> ye Jehovah<S>3050</S>.


text:
Remember<S>2142</S> his marvellous works<S>6381</S> that he hath done<S>6213</S>, His wonders<S>4159</S>, and the judgments<S>4941</S> of his mouth<S>6310</S>,


text:
O ye seed<S>2233</S> of Abraham<S>85</S> his servant<S>5650</S>, Ye children<S>1121</S> of Jacob<S>3290</S>, his chosen ones<S>972</S>.


text:
He is Jehovah<S>3068</S> our God<S>430</S>: His judgments<S>4941</S> are in all the earth<S>776</S>.


text:
He hath remembered<S>2142</S> his covenant<S>1285</S> for ever<S>5769</S>, The word<S>1697</S> which he commanded<S>6680</S> to a thousand<S>505</S> generations<S>1755</S>,


text:
The covenant which he made<S>3772</S> with Abraham<S>85</S>, And his oath<S>7621</S> unto Isaac<S>3446</S>,


text:
Praise<S>1984</S> ye Jehovah<S>3050</S>. Oh give thanks<S>3034</S> unto Jehovah<S>3050</S>; for he is good<S>2896</S>; For his lovingkindness<S>2617</S> endureth for ever<S>5769</S>.
