Now there was a day when the sons of God
came to present themselves before the Lord, and Satan came also am-ong them.
And the Lord said unto Satan,
Whence comest thou?
Then
Satan answered the Lord, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from walking up and
down in it.
And
the Lord said unto Satan, Hast thou considered my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect
and
an upright
man, one that feareth God, and escheweth evil?
Then
Satan answered the Lord, and said, Doth Job fear God - for nought?
Hast
- not thou made an
hedge
about him, and about his house, and about all that he hath
on every side? thou hast blessed the work of his hands, and
his substance is increased
in the land.
But
put forth thine
hand
now, and touch all that he hath,
and
he will curse thee
to thy face.
And
the Lord said unto Satan, -Behold,
- all that he
hath is in thy power; . . .
***
And
Cain went out from the presence
of the Lord, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east
of
Eden.
***
.
. . only upon
himself put not forth thine hand. So Satan went
forth from the presence of the Lord.
***
And
the Lord
said, My
spirit shall
not always strive with man, for
that he al-so is flesh:
yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty years.
***
But
of the tree of the knowledge of
good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it:
for
in
the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely
die.
***
Take
heed
to thyself that thou be not snared by following them,
-after - that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire
not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods?
- even so will I do likewise.

The
reproving words of Elihu
Furthermore
Elihu answered and said, Hear my words, O ye wise men;
and give ear unto me, ye
that have knowledge. For the ear trieth words, as the mouth tasteth meat. Let us choose to us
judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
For
Job
hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment. Should I lie against my right? my
wound
is incurable without transgression. What man is like Job, who drinketh up scorning like water? Which goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, and walketh with wicked men. . .
*****
And
Jacob said, Sell me
this
day thy birthright.
And
Esau said, Behold,
I
am at
the point to die: and
what profit shall this birthright do - to me?
***
And
Judah
said unto his brethren, What profit is it if we slay our brother, and conceal his blood?
Come, and let us sell him to the Ishmeelites,
and let not our hand be upon
him; for he is our brother
and
our flesh.
And his brethren were content.
***
For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing that he should delight himself
with God. Therefore hearken unto me,
ye
men of understanding: far be
it from
God,
that he
should do wickedness; and from the Almighty, that he
should commit iniquity.
For
the work of a man shall he render unto him, and cause every man to find according to his ways. Yea,
surely God will not do wickedly, neither will the
Almighty pervert judgment.
Who
hath given him a charge over the earth? or who hath disposed the whole world?
If he set his heart upon man,
if he gather unto himself his spirit
and his breath; . . .
***
And
God looked upon the earth, and, behold, it was corrupt; for all flesh
had corrupted his way upon the earth.
And
God said unto Noah, The end of all flesh is come before me; for the earth is filled
with
violence through them; and, behold, I
will destroy them with the earth.
*
And
all flesh died that moved upon the earth, both of fowl, and of cattle, and of beast, and of every creeping thing that creepeth
upon the earth, and every man:
*
And
I will establish my covenant with you;
neither shall all flesh be cut off
any more by the waters of a flood;
*
And
the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it,
that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature
of all flesh that is upon the earth.
*****
.
. . All flesh shall
perish together, and man shall turn again unto dust.
If
now
thou hast understanding, hear
this: hearken to the voice of my words. Shall even he that hateth right govern? and wilt thou condemn him that is most just? Is it
fit
to say to a king, Thou art wicked? and to princes, Ye are ungodly?
How
much less to him
that accepteth not the persons of princes, nor regardeth the rich more than the poor? for they all are the work
of his hands. In a moment shall they die,
and the people shall be troubled at midnight, and pass away: and the mighty shall be taken away without hand. For his eyes are upon the ways
of man, and he seeth all
his goings.
***
But
of
the fruit of the tree which is in the mid-st
of the garden, God hath said, Ye
shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye
touch
it, lest ye
die.
And the serpent said unto the work-man, Ye
shall not surely die:
***
Take
heed
to thyself that thou be not snared by following them,
-after - that they be destroyed from before thee; and that thou inquire
not after their gods, saying, How did these nations serve their gods?
- even so will I do likewise.
Thou
shalt
not do so unto
the Lord thy God: for every abomination to the Lord,
which he hateth,
have they done
unto their gods; for even their sons and
their daughters
they have burnt in the fire to their gods.
*****
Therefore
all things whatsoever ye
would
that men should do to you,
do
ye - even so
to
them: for this is the law and
the prophets.
