RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION Study Bible

6 He has made me also a byword of the people; but
beforehand I was as a drum.
7 My eye also is dim by reason of my sorrow, and all my
members are like shadows.
8 Upright men shall be astonished at this, and the
innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite.
9 The tzadik also shall hold on to his halacha, and he that
has clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.
10 But as for all of you, do you return, and come now: for
I cannot find one wise man among you.
11 My days are past; my purposes are broken off, even
the thoughts of my lev.
12 They change the night into day: the light is short
because of darkness.
13 If I wait, then Sheol is my bayit: I have made my bed
in the darkness.
14 I have said to corruption, You are my abba: to the
worm, You are my eema, and my sister.
15 And where is now my tikvah? As for my tikvah, who
shall see it?
16 They shall go down to the bars of Sheol, they shall
descend together into the dust.
18 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,
2 How long will it be until you make an end of your
words? Tell us and afterwards we will speak.
3 Why are we counted as beasts, and reputed as unworthy
in your sight?
4 He tears himself in his anger: shall the earth be forsaken
for your sake? And shall the rock be removed out of its
place?
5 Yes, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the
spark of his fire shall not shine.
6 The light shall be dark in his tent, and his candle shall
be put out with him.
7 The steps of his strength shall be impeded, and his own
counsel shall overthrow him.
8 For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walks
into a pit.
9 The net shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall
prevail against him.
10 The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for
him in the way.
11 Terrors shall make him afraid on every side, and shall
chase him to his feet.
12 His strength shall be removed, and destruction shall be
ready at his side.
13 It shall devour parts of his skin: even the bachor of
death shall devour his strength.
14 His confidence shall be rooted out of his tent, and it
shall bring him to the melech of terrors.
15 It shall dwell in his tent, because it is none of his:
brimstone shall be scattered on his bayit.
16 His roots shall be dried up beneath, and above shall his
branch be cut off.
17 His memory shall perish from the earth, and he shall
have no name in the street.
18 He shall be driven from light into darkness, and chased
out of the olam hazeh.
19 He shall neither have son, or nephew among his
people, nor any remaining in his dwellings.
20 They that come after him shall be astonished at his
day, as those who were before them were frightened.
IYOV - JOB
- 491 -
21 Surely such are the dwellings of the wicked, and this is
the place of him that knows not El.
19
Then Iyov answered and said,
2 How long will you trouble my being, and break me in
pieces with words?
3 These ten times have you insulted me: you are not
ashamed that you make yourselves strange to me.
4 And indeed I have gone astray, my error remains with
myself.
5 If indeed you will magnify yourselves against me, and
plead against me with insults:
6 Know now that tvkt has overthrown me, and has
encircled me with His net.
7 See, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud,
but there is no mishpat.
8 He has fortified my path that I cannot move, and He has
set darkness in my paths.
9 He has stripped me of my tifereth, and taken the keter
from my head.
10 He has destroyed me on every side, and I am gone:
and my tikvah has He removed like an eytz.
11 He has also lit His anger against me, and He counts me
to Him as one of His enemies.
12 His troops come together, and raise up their false
halacha against me, and encamp around my tent.
13 He has put my brothers far from me, and my
acquaintances are fully estranged from me.
14 My relatives have failed me, and my closest chaverim
have forgotten me.
15 They that dwell in my bayit, and my maids, treat me as
a ger: I am an alien in their sight.
16 I call my eved, and he gives me no answer; I have to
beg him with my mouth.
17 My breath is strange to my wife, though I implored for
the children of my own body.
18 Yes, young children despise me; I arise, and they
speak against me.
19 All my intimate chaverim loathe me: and those whom
I have loved have turned against me.
20 My bone cleaves to my skin and to my flesh, and I am
escaped with the skin of my teeth.
21 Have pity on me; have pity on me, O you my
chaverim; for the hand of tvkt has struck me.
22 Why do you persecute me as does El, and are not
satisfied with my flesh’s suffering?
23 Oh that my words were now written! Oh that they
were printed in a scroll!
24 That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the
rock le-olam-va-ed!
25 For I know that my Redeemer lives, and that He shall
stand at the latter-day on the earth: 4048
26 And after my skin has been taken off and worms
destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see tvkt: 4049
27 Whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall
behold, and not another; 4050 though my kidneys will be
consumed within me.
28 But what you should be saying is, Why do we
persecute him, seeing that a tov report will follow me and
vindicate me? 4051
29 Be afraid of the sword: for anger brings the
punishment of the sword; that you may know there is
mishpat.
