The coming of the Image

 

in

the

image

of

God created

 

he him;

 

male

 

and female

 

created

he

them.

*

 

Now when

Job's

three friends

heard

of

all this evil that was

come upon

him,

*

and the

fruit tree

yielding

fruit

after his kind,

*

they

came

every one

from

his

own place;

 

Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite:

for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn

with him and to comfort him.

 

And

when they

lifted up their eyes afar off,

*

Where is Abel thy brother?

And he said,

I know not:

*

 

and

knew him not,

 

they lifted

up

their voice,

and wept;

 

and they

rent

every one

his

mantle,

 

and sprinkled

dust upon their heads

toward heaven.

 

So

they sat down

with him upon the ground

 seven days

and

seven nights,

 

and

none

spake a word

unto him:

 

for they –

saw

that

his grief

was very great.

**

So

these three men

ceased

to

answer Job,

because

he

was righteous

in

his

own eyes.

 

Then was kindled the wrath of Elihu the son

of

Barachel

the

Buzite,

of the

kindred of Ram:

 

against Job

was

his wrath kindled,

because

he

justified

himself

rather than

God.

Also

against

his three friends was his wrath kindled,

 because they had found no answer,

and yet had condemned

Job.

*******

There was a

man

in the land

of Uz,

whose name was Job;

 

Now

 Elihu

had waited

till Job

had spoken,

 

because

they were elder

*

And Noah awoke from his wine,

and knew what his younger son had done unto him.

**

Is there

a

God beside me?

yea,

there is no God;

 

I know not any.

 

They that make

a

graven image

 

are

all

of

them vanity;

and

their delectable things

shall not profit;

and they

are

their own witnesses;

 

 they see not,

nor know;

that they may be ashamed.

*

elder than he.

When Elihu

saw

that there

was

no

answer in

the mouth

of

these

three men,

 

then

his

wrath was kindled.

 

*

and his countenance fell.

 

*

And Elihu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered and said,

I am

young,

and

ye

are very old;

*

Therefore this inequity

shall

be

to

you as a

breach

ready to fall,

swelling out in a high wall,

whose breaking cometh suddenly at an instant.

And

he

shall break

it

as the breaking of the potter's vessel that is broken in pieces;

 

he

shall not spare:

 

so

that there

shall not be found

in the

bursting

of

it

a

sherd

to

take fire from

the hearth,

or

to take water withal

out

of

the pit.

 

For

thus saith

the

Lord God,

the

Holy One

ISamuel

 

Her

 

Who raised

up

the

righteous man from the east,

called him to his foot,

gave the nations before

him,

and

made

him

rule over kings?

 

he

gave them as the dust to his sword,

and as driven stubble to his bow.

 

He pursued them,

and passed safely;

 

even

by the way

that

he

had not gone

with

his feet.

 

 

*

And

She again

bare

his brother

 

And Abel was a keeper of sheep,

 

*

And every

plant

of

the field before

it

was in the earth,

and

every

herb

of

the field

before it grew:

 

for

the

Lord God

 

had not caused

it to rain

upon the earth,

 

and there

was

not a man

to

till the ground.

 

*

And the

woman

said unto the serpent,

 

We

may eat

of

the fruit of the trees

of

the garden:

 

But of the fruit

of

the tree

which is in

the midst

of

the garden,

 

Yea God

hath said,

Ye

shall not eat

of

it,

neither shall ye touch it,

lest ye die.

*

And when the workman saw that the tree was good for food,

and that

it

was pleasant to the eyes,

and a tree to be desired to make

one wise,

she

took of the fruit thereof,

and did eat,

 

and

gave

also unto

 

her husband

with her;

 

and he did eat.

And the eyes of them both were opened, and they knew that they were naked;

*

Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother,

and shall cleave unto his wife:

and they shall be one flesh.

 

**

and they sewed fig leaves together, and made themselves aprons.

*

Look unto Abraham

your father,

and

unto Sarah that bare you:

for

I

called him alone,

and blessed him,

and increased him.

For

the Lord

shall comfort Zion:

 

he

will comfort

all her

waste places;

and he

will make

her

wilderness like Eden,

 

and

her desert

like the garden of the Lord;

joy and gladness shall be found therein,

thanksgiving,

and the voice

of melody.

 

Hearken unto

me,

my

people;

and give ear unto me,

O my nation:

for a law shall proceed from me, and

I

will make my judgment to rest for a light of the people.

 

My righteousness is near;

my salvation is gone forth,

and mine arms shall judge the people;

the

isles shall

wait upon me,

and

on

mine arm shall they trust.

*

But he said unto

her,

Thou

speakest as

one

of

the foolish workmen speaketh.

 

What?

shall

we

receive good at the hand of God,

and

shall

we

not receive evil?

*

Come ye,

and let us go up to the mountain

of the Lord,

to

the

house

of the

God of Jacob;

 and

he

will teach us

of

his ways,

and

we

will walk in his paths:

 

for out of Zion shall

go forth the law,

and

the word of the Lord

from Jerusalem.
