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
