Job 33:18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword. Job 33:19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones; Job 33:20 So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty food. Job 33:21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones that were not seen stick out. Job 33:22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers. Job 33:23 If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him; Job 33:24 Then God is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom. Job 33:25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s; He returneth to the days of his youth. Job 33:26 He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness. Job 33:27 He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not: Job 33:28 He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light. Job 33:29 Lo, all these things doth God work, Twice, yea thrice, with a man, Job 33:30 To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living. Job 33:31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speak. Job 33:32 If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee. Job 33:33 If not, hearken thou unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom. Job 34:1 Moreover Elihu answered and said, Job 34:2 Hear my words, ye wise men; And give ear unto me, ye that have knowledge. Job 34:3 For the ear trieth words, As the palate tasteth food. Job 34:4 Let us choose for us that which is right: Let us know among ourselves what is good. Job 34:5 For Job hath said, I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right: Job 34:6 Notwithstanding my right I am accounted a liar; My wound is incurable, though I am without transgression. Job 34:7 What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scoffing like water, Job 34:8 Who goeth in company with the workers of iniquity, And walketh with wicked men? Job 34:9 For he hath said, It profiteth a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.
Job 34:10 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. Job 34:11 For the work of a man will he render unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways. Job 34:12 Yea, of a surety, God will not do wickedly, Neither will the Almighty pervert justice. Job 34:13 Who gave him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world? Job 34:14 If he set his heart upon himself, If he gather unto himself his spirit and his breath; Job 34:15 All flesh shall perish together, And man shall turn again unto dust. Job 34:16 If now thou hast understanding, hear this: Hearken to the voice of my words. Job 34:17 Shall even one that hateth justice govern? And wilt thou condemn him that is righteous and mighty?— Job 34:18 Him that saith to a king, Thou art vile, Or to nobles, Ye are wicked; Job 34:19 That respecteth not the persons of princes, Nor regardeth the rich more than the poor; For they all are the work of his hands. Job 34:20 In a moment they die, even at midnight; The people are shaken and pass away, And the mighty are taken away without hand.
Job 34:21 For his eyes are upon the ways of a man, And he seeth all his goings. Job 34:22 There is no darkness, nor thick gloom, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves. Job 34:23 For he needeth not further to consider a man, That he should go before God in judgment. Job 34:24 He breaketh in pieces mighty men in ways past finding out, And setteth others in their stead. Job 34:25 Therefore he taketh knowledge of their works; And he overturneth them in the night, so that they are destroyed. Job 34:26 He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others; Job 34:27 Because they turned aside from following him, And would not have regard in any of his ways: Job 34:28 So that they caused the cry of the poor to come unto him, And he heard the cry of the afflicted. Job 34:29 When he giveth quietness, who then can condemn? And when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? Alike whether it be done unto a nation, or unto a man: Job 34:30 That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people. Job 34:31 For hath any said unto God, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more: Job 34:32 That which I see not teach thou me: If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more?
Job 34:33 Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest. Job 34:34 Men of understanding will say unto me, Yea, every wise man that heareth me: Job 34:35 Job speaketh without knowledge, And his words are without wisdom. Job 34:36 Would that Job were tried unto the end, Because of his answering like wicked men. Job 34:37 For he addeth rebellion unto his sin; He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth his words against God. Job 35:1 Moreover Elihu answered and said, Job 35:2 Thinkest thou this to be thy right, Or sayest thou, My righteousness is more than God’s, Job 35:3 That thou sayest, What advantage will it be unto thee? And, What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned? Job 35:4 I will answer thee, And thy companions with thee. Job 35:5 Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou. Job 35:6 If thou hast sinned, what effectest thou against him? And if thy transgressions be multiplied, what doest thou unto him? Job 35:7 If thou be righteous, what givest thou him? Or what receiveth he of thy hand?
Job 35:8 Thy wickedness may hurt a man as thou art; And thy righteousness may profit a son of man. Job 35:9 By reason of the multitude of oppressions they cry out; They cry for help by reason of the arm of the mighty. Job 35:10 But none saith, Where is God my Maker, Who giveth songs in the night, Job 35:11 Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, And maketh us wiser than the birds of the heavens? Job 35:12 There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men. Job 35:13 Surely God will not hear an empty cry, Neither will the Almighty regard it. Job 35:14 How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him! Job 35:15 But now, because he hath not visited in his anger, Neither doth he greatly regard arrogance; Job 35:16 Therefore doth Job open his mouth in vanity; He multiplieth words without knowledge. Job 36:1 Elihu also proceeded, and said, Job 36:2 Suffer me a little, and I will show thee; For I have yet somewhat to say on God’s behalf. Job 36:3 I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker. Job 36:4 For truly my words are not false: One that is perfect in knowledge is with thee.
Job 36:5 Behold, God is mighty, and despiseth not any: He is mighty in strength of understanding. Job 36:6 He preserveth not the life of the wicked, But giveth to the afflicted their right. Job 36:7 He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: But with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted. Job 36:8 And if they be bound in fetters, And be taken in the cords of affliction; Job 36:9 Then he showeth them their work, And their transgressions, that they have behaved themselves proudly. Job 36:10 He openeth also their ear to instruction, And commandeth that they return from iniquity. Job 36:11 If they hearken and serve him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures. Job 36:12 But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge. Job 36:13 But they that are godless in heart lay up anger: They cry not for help when he bindeth them. Job 36:14 They die in youth, And their life perisheth among the unclean. Job 36:15 He delivereth the afflicted by their affliction, And openeth their ear in oppression.
Job 36:16 Yea, he would have allured thee out of distress Into a broad place, where there is no straitness; And that which is set on thy table would be full of fatness. Job 36:17 But thou art full of the judgment of the wicked: Judgment and justice take hold on thee. Job 36:18 For let not wrath stir thee up against chastisements; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside. Job 36:19 Will thy cry avail, that thou be not in distress, Or all the forces of thy strength? Job 36:20 Desire not the night, When peoples are cut off in their place. Job 36:21 Take heed, regard not iniquity: For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. Job 36:22 Behold, God doeth loftily in his power: Who is a teacher like unto him? Job 36:23 Who hath enjoined him his way? Or who can say, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness? Job 36:24 Remember that thou magnify his work, Whereof men have sung. Job 36:25 All men have looked thereon; Man beholdeth it afar off. Job 36:26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not; The number of his years is unsearchable. Job 36:27 For he draweth up the drops of water, Which distil in rain from his vapor, Job 36:28 Which the skies pour down And drop upon man abundantly.
Job 36:29 Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, The thunderings of his pavilion? Job 36:30 Behold, he spreadeth his light around him; And he covereth the bottom of the sea. Job 36:31 For by these he judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance. Job 36:32 He covereth his hands with the lightning, And giveth it a charge that it strike the mark. Job 36:33 The noise thereof telleth concerning him, The cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up. Job 37:1 Yea, at this my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place. Job 37:2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, And the sound that goeth out of his mouth. Job 37:3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, And his lightning unto the ends of the earth. Job 37:4 After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of his majesty; And he restraineth not the lightnings when his voice is heard. Job 37:5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. Job 37:6 For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain. Job 37:7 He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know it.
Job 37:8 Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens. Job 37:9 Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm, And cold out of the north. Job 37:10 By the breath of God ice is given; And the breadth of the waters is straitened. Job 37:11 Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning: Job 37:12 And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world, Job 37:13 Whether it be for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come. Job 37:14 Hearken unto this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. Job 37:15 Dost thou know how God layeth his charge upon them, And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine? Job 37:16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge? Job 37:17 How thy garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind? Job 37:18 Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror? Job 37:19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.
Job 37:20 Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up? Job 37:21 And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleareth them. Job 37:22 Out of the north cometh golden splendor: God hath upon him terrible majesty. Job 37:23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: He is excellent in power; And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict. Job 37:24 Men do therefore fear him: He regardeth not any that are wise of heart. Job 38:1 Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Job 38:2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge? Job 38:3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. Job 38:4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. Job 38:5 Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it? Job 38:6 Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof, Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Job 38:8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb; Job 38:9 When I made clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it, Job 38:10 And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors, Job 38:11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed? Job 38:12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began, And caused the dayspring to know its place; Job 38:13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it? Job 38:14 It is changed as clay under the seal; And all things stand forth as a garment: Job 38:15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, And the high arm is broken. Job 38:16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep? Job 38:17 Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death? Job 38:18 Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if thou knowest it all. Job 38:19 Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place thereof, Job 38:20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof? Job 38:21 Doubtless, thou knowest, for thou wast then born, And the number of thy days is great! Job 38:22 Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, Job 38:23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, Against the day of battle and war? Job 38:24 By what way is the light parted, Or the east wind scattered upon the earth? Job 38:25 Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, Or the way for the lightning of the thunder; Job 38:26 To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; On the wilderness, wherein there is no man; Job 38:27 To satisfy the waste and desolate ground, And to cause the tender grass to spring forth? Job 38:28 Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew? Job 38:29 Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? Job 38:30 The waters hide themselves and become like stone, And the face of the deep is frozen. Job 38:31 Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion? Job 38:32 Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?
Job 38:33 Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth? Job 38:34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover thee? Job 38:35 Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say unto thee, Here we are? Job 38:36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the mind? Job 38:37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven, Job 38:38 When the dust runneth into a mass, And the clods cleave fast together? Job 38:39 Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, Job 38:40 When they couch in their dens, And abide in the covert to lie in wait? Job 38:41 Who provideth for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry unto God, And wander for lack of food? Job 39:1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? Job 39:2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? Job 39:3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young, They cast out their pains.
Job 39:4 Their young ones become strong, they grow up in the open field; They go forth, and return not again. Job 39:5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass, Job 39:6 Whose home I have made the wilderness, And the salt land his dwelling-place? Job 39:7 He scorneth the tumult of the city, Neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver. Job 39:8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, And he searcheth after every green thing. Job 39:9 Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee? Or will he abide by thy crib? Job 39:10 Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee? Job 39:11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? Or wilt thou leave to him thy labor? Job 39:12 Wilt thou confide in him, that he will bring home thy seed, And gather the grain of thy threshing-floor? Job 39:13 The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; But are they the pinions and plumage of love? Job 39:14 For she leaveth her eggs on the earth, And warmeth them in the dust, Job 39:15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, Or that the wild beast may trample them. Job 39:16 She dealeth hardly with her young ones, as if they were not hers: Though her labor be in vain, she is without fear; Job 39:17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, Neither hath he imparted to her understanding. Job 39:18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, She scorneth the horse and his rider. Job 39:19 Hast thou given the horse his might? Hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane? Job 39:20 Hast thou made him to leap as a locust? The glory of his snorting is terrible. Job 39:21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: He goeth out to meet the armed men. Job 39:22 He mocketh at fear, and is not dismayed; Neither turneth he back from the sword. Job 39:23 The quiver rattleth against him, The flashing spear and the javelin. Job 39:24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage; Neither believeth he that it is the voice of the trumpet. Job 39:25 As oft as the trumpet soundeth he saith, Aha! And he smelleth the battle afar off, The thunder of the captains, and the shouting. Job 39:26 Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth, And stretcheth her wings toward the south? Job 39:27 Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up, And maketh her nest on high? Job 39:28 On the cliff she dwelleth, and maketh her home, Upon the point of the cliff, and the stronghold. Job 39:29 From thence she spieth out the prey; Her eyes behold it afar off.
Job 39:30 Her young ones also suck up blood: And where the slain are, there is she. Job 40:1 Moreover Jehovah answered Job, and said, Job 40:2 Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty? He that argueth with God, let him answer it. Job 40:3 Then Job answered Jehovah, and said, Job 40:4 Behold, I am of small account; what shall I answer thee? I lay my hand upon my mouth. Job 40:5 Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; Yea, twice, but I will proceed no further. Job 40:6 Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Job 40:7 Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. Job 40:8 Wilt thou even annul my judgment? Wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be justified? Job 40:9 Or hast thou an arm like God? And canst thou thunder with a voice like him? Job 40:10 Deck thyself now with excellency and dignity; And array thyself with honor and majesty. Job 40:11 Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger; And look upon every one that is proud, and abase him. Job 40:12 Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; And tread down the wicked where they stand. Job 40:13 Hide them in the dust together; Bind their faces in the hidden place.
Job 40:14 Then will I also confess of thee That thine own right hand can save thee. Job 40:15 Behold now, behemoth, which I made as well as thee; He eateth grass as an ox. Job 40:16 Lo now, his strength is in his loins, And his force is in the muscles of his belly. Job 40:17 He moveth his tail like a cedar: The sinews of his thighs are knit together. Job 40:18 His bones are as tubes of brass; His limbs are like bars of iron. Job 40:19 He is the chief of the ways of God: He only that made him giveth him his sword. Job 40:20 Surely the mountains bring him forth food, Where all the beasts of the field do play. Job 40:21 He lieth under the lotus-trees, In the covert of the reed, and the fen. Job 40:22 The lotus-trees cover him with their shade; The willows of the brook compass him about. Job 40:23 Behold, if a river overflow, he trembleth not; He is confident, though a Jordan swell even to his mouth. Job 40:24 Shall any take him when he is on the watch, Or pierce through his nose with a snare? Job 41:1 Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord? Job 41:2 Canst thou put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook?
Job 41:3 Will he make many supplications unto thee? Or will he speak soft words unto thee? Job 41:4 Will he make a covenant with thee, That thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever? Job 41:5 Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens? Job 41:6 Will the bands of fishermen make traffic of him? Will they part him among the merchants? Job 41:7 Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears? Job 41:8 Lay thy hand upon him; Remember the battle, and do so no more. Job 41:9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him? Job 41:10 None is so fierce that he dare stir him up; Who then is he that can stand before me? Job 41:11 Who hath first given unto me, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine. Job 41:12 I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, Nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame. Job 41:13 Who can strip off his outer garment? Who shall come within his jaws? Job 41:14 Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror. Job 41:15 His strong scales are his pride, Shut up together as with a close seal.
Job 41:16 One is so near to another, That no air can come between them. Job 41:17 They are joined one to another; They stick together, so that they cannot be sundered. Job 41:18 His sneezings flash forth light, And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. Job 41:19 Out of his mouth go burning torches, And sparks of fire leap forth. Job 41:20 Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth, As of a boiling pot and burning rushes. Job 41:21 His breath kindleth coals, And a flame goeth forth from his mouth. Job 41:22 In his neck abideth strength, And terror danceth before him. Job 41:23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: They are firm upon him; they cannot be moved. Job 41:24 His heart is as firm as a stone; Yea, firm as the nether millstone. Job 41:25 When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: By reason of consternation they are beside themselves. Job 41:26 If one lay at him with the sword, it cannot avail; Nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft. Job 41:27 He counteth iron as straw, And brass as rotten wood. Job 41:28 The arrow cannot make him flee: Sling-stones are turned with him into stubble. Job 41:29 Clubs are counted as stubble: He laugheth at the rushing of the javelin.
Job 41:30 His underparts are like sharp potsherds: He spreadeth as it were a threshing-wain upon the mire. Job 41:31 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment. Job 41:32 He maketh a path to shine after him; One would think the deep to be hoary. Job 41:33 Upon earth there is not his like, That is made without fear. Job 41:34 He beholdeth everything that is high: He is king over all the sons of pride. Job 42:1 Then Job answered Jehovah, and said, Job 42:2 I know that thou canst do all things, And that no purpose of thine can be restrained. Job 42:3 Who is this that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore have I uttered that which I understood not, Things too wonderful for me, which I knew not. Job 42:4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak; I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. Job 42:5 I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear; But now mine eye seeth thee: Job 42:6 Wherefore I abhor myself, And repent in dust and ashes. Job 42:7 And it was so, that, after Jehovah had spoken these words unto Job, Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath.
Job 42:8 Now therefore, take unto you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt-offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you; for him will I accept, that I deal not with you after your folly; for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job hath. Job 42:9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as Jehovah commanded them: and Jehovah accepted Job. Job 42:10 And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before. Job 42:11 Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one a ring of gold. Job 42:12 So Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses. Job 42:13 He had also seven sons and three daughters.
Job 42:14 And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch. Job 42:15 And in all the land were no women found so fair as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren. Job 42:16 And after this Job lived a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons’ sons, even four generations. Job 42:17 So Job died, being old and full of days.
Ps 1:1 Blessed is the man that walketh not in the counsel of the wicked, Nor standeth in the way of sinners, Nor sitteth in the seat of scoffers: Ps 1:2 But his delight is in the law of Jehovah; And on his law doth he meditate day and night. Ps 1:3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the streams of water, That bringeth forth its fruit in its season, Whose leaf also doth not wither; And whatsoever he doeth shall prosper. Ps 1:4 The wicked are not so, But are like the chaff which the wind driveth away. Ps 1:5 Therefore the wicked shall not stand in the judgment, Nor sinners in the congregation of the righteous. Ps 1:6 For Jehovah knoweth the way of the righteous; But the way of the wicked shall perish. Ps 2:1 Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing? Ps 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying, Ps 2:3 Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us. Ps 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision. Ps 2:5 Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure: Ps 2:6 Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion. Ps 2:7 I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee. Ps 2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
