RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION Study Bible

You strive against me.
3 Is it tov to You that You should oppress, that You
should despise the work of Your hands, and shine on the
counsel of the wicked?
4 Have You eyes of flesh? Or, do You see as man sees?
5 Are Your days as the days of man? Are Your years as
man’s days?
6 That You inquire after my iniquity, and search out my
sin?
7 You know that I am not wicked; and there is none that
can deliver out of Your hand.
8 Your hands have made me and fashioned me together
all around; yet You destroy me.
9 Remember, I beg You, that You have made me as the
clay; and will You bring me into dust again?
10 Have You not poured me out as milk, and curdled me
like cheese?
11 You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and have
fortified me with bones and sinews.
12 You have granted me chayim and favor, and Your
visitation has preserved my ruach.
13 And these things have You hid in Your lev: I know
that this is with You.
14 If I sin, then target me, and do not acquit me from my
iniquity.
15 If I were wicked, woe to me; and if I were a tzadik, yet
will I not lift up my head. I am full of confusion;
therefore see my affliction;
16 For it increases. You hunted me as a fierce lion: and
again You show Yourself marvelous against me.
17 You renew Your witnesses against me, and increase
Your indignation on me; changes and an army are against
me.
18 Why then have You brought me forth out of the
womb? Oh that I had given up the ruach, and no eye had
seen me!
19 I should have been as though I had not been; I should
have been carried from the womb directly to Sheol.
20 Are not my days few? Cease then, and leave me alone,
that I may take comfort a little,
21 Before I go to where I shall not return, even to the land
of darkness and the shadow of death;
22 A land of darkness, as dark as darkness itself; and of
the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is
as darkness.
11 Then answered Tzofar the Na’amathite, and said,
2 Should not the multitude of your words be answered?
And should a man full of talk be justified?
3 Should your lies make men hold their silence? And
when you mock Him, shall no man make you ashamed?
4 For you have said, my teaching and chayim is pure, and
I am clean in Your eyes.
5 But oh that tvkt would speak, and open His lips
against you;
6 And that He would show you the secrets of chochmah;
that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that
tvkt requires from you less than your iniquity deserves.
7 Can you by searching find out tvkt? Can you find out
the Almighty to complete da’at?
8 It is as high as the shamayim; what can you do? Deeper
than Sheol; what can you know?
9 The measure of it is longer than the earth, and wider

than the sea.
10 If He cuts off, and shuts up, or gathers together, then
who can stop Him? 4042
11 For He knows false men: He sees wickedness also;
will He not then consider it?
12 For a vain man would be wise, though man is born like
a wild donkey’s colt.
13 If you prepare your lev, and stretch out your hands
toward Him;
14 If iniquity is in your hand, put it far away, and let not
wickedness dwell in your tents.
15 For then shall you lift up your face without blemish;
yes, then you shall be steadfast, and shall not fear:
16 Because then you shall forget your misery, and
remember it as mayim that pass away:
17 And your chayim shall be clearer than the noonday;
you shall shine forth, you shall be as the morning.
18 And you shall be secure, because there is tikvah; yes,
you shall search yourself, and then you shall take your
rest in safety.
19 Also you shall lie down, and none shall make you
afraid; yes, many shall seek your favor.
20 But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall not
escape, and their tikvah shall be the giving up of their
ruach.

And Iyov answered and said,
2 No doubt but you are the people, and chochmah shall
die with you.
3 But I have binah as well as you; I am not inferior to
you: yes, who knows not such things as these?
4 I am as one mocked by his neighbor, who calls on
tvkt, and He answers him: the tzadik man is laughed to
scorn.
5 He that is ready to slip with his feet is as a lamp
despised in the thought of him that is at ease.
6 The tents of robbers prosper, and they that provoke El
are secure; into whose hand tvkt brings abundantly.
7 But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach you; and
the fowls of the air, and they shall tell you:
8 Or, speak to the earth, and it shall teach you: and the
fishes of the sea shall declare to you.
9 Who among all these does not know that the hand of
vuvh has done this?
10 In whose hand is the being of every living thing, and
the ruach of all mankind.
11 Does not the ear discern words? And the mouth taste
its food?
12 With the aged is chochmah; and in length of days
binah.
13 With Him is chochmah and strength, He has counsel
and binah.
14 See, He breaks down, and it cannot be built again: He
imprisons a man, and there can be no release.
15 See, He withholds the mayim, and they dry up: also
He sends them out, and they overwhelm the earth.
16 With Him is strength and chochmah: the deceived and
the deceiver are His.
17 He leads counselors away spoiled, and makes
shophtim into fools.
18 He looses the bond of melechim, and girds their loins
with a girdle.
19 He leads princes away spoiled, and overthrows
