RESTORATION SCRIPTURES TRUE NAME EDITION Study Bible

17 See, happy is the man whom tvkt corrects: therefore
despise not the chastening of the Almighty:
18 For He bruises, and binds up: He wounds, and His
hands make whole.
19 He shall deliver you in six troubles: yes, in seven there
shall no evil touch you.
20 In famine He shall redeem you from death: and in war
from the power of the sword.
21 You shall be hidden from the scourge of the tongue:
neither shall you be afraid of the destruction when it
comes.
22 At destruction and famine you shall laugh: neither
shall you be afraid of the beasts of the earth.
23 For you shall be in brit with the stones of the field: and
the beasts of the field shall be at shalom with you.
24 And you shall know that your tent shall be in shalom;
and you shall visit your tent, and shall not sin.
25 You shall know also that your zera shall be great, and
your offspring as the grass of the earth. 4040
26 You shall come to Sheol in a ripe old age, like a stack
of grain comes in its season.
27 Look this is what we have searched for, so listen to it,
and know it for your own tov.
6 But Iyov answered and said,
2 Oh that my grief was thoroughly weighed, and my
calamity laid on scales!
3 For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea:
therefore my words are rash.
4 For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, their
poison saps up my ruach: the arrows of tvkt do set
themselves in array against me.
5 Does the wild donkey bray when he has grass? Or, does
the ox neigh over its fodder?
6 Can that which is unsavory be eaten without salt? Or, is
there any taste in the white of an egg?
7 My being refuses to touch them. They are as food when
I am sick.
8 Oh that I might have my request; and that tvkt would
grant me the thing that I long for!
9 Even that it would please tvkt to destroy me; that He
would let loose His hand, and cut me off!
10 Then should I yet have comfort; I would rejoice in
pain: let Him not spare; for I have not concealed the
words of the Kadosh-One.
11 What is my strength, that I should have tikvah? And
what is my end, that I should prolong my chayim?
12 Is my strength the strength of stones? Or, is my flesh
of bronze?
13 Is not my help in me? And is ability driven far from
me?
14 To him that is afflicted pity should be shown from his
chaver; but he forsakes the fear of the Almighty.
15 My brothers have dealt deceitfully as a brook, and as
the stream of brooks they pass away;
16 Which are dark because of the ice, and in which the
snow is hidden:
17 When it is warm, they vanish: when it is hot, they are
consumed out of their place.
18 The paths of their halacha are turned aside; they go to
nothing, and perish.
19 The passengers of Tema looked, the travelers of Sheva
waited for them.
IYOV - JOB
- 486 -
20 They were ashamed because they had hoped; they
came there, and were ashamed.
21 For now you are nothing; you see my casting down,
and are afraid.
22 Did I say, Bring to me? Or, Give me a reward from
your possessions?
23 Or, Deliver me from the enemy’s hand? Or, redeem
me from the hand of the mighty?
24 Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to
understand in which halacha I have gone astray.
25 How harsh are right words! But what does your
arguing reprove?
26 Do you imagine to reprove the words, and the
speeches of one that is in despair, which are as wind?
27 Yes, you overwhelm the fatherless, and you dig a
grave for your chaver.
28 Now therefore be content, look on me; for it is evident
to you if I lie.
29 Relent, please, let it not be iniquity; yes, Relent, my
tzedakah is in it.
30 Is there iniquity in my tongue? Or, does my mouth
speak emet?
7
Is there not an appointed time to man on earth? Are
not his days also like the days of a hired eved?
2 As an eved earnestly desires the shade, and as a hired
man looks for the reward of his work:
3 So am I made to possess months of vanity, and
wearisome nights are appointed to me.
4 When I lie down, I say, When shall I arise, and the night
be gone? And I am full of tossing back and forth until the
dawning of the day.
5 My flesh is clothed with worms and clods of dust; my
skin is broken, and festers.
6 My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are
spent without tikvah.
7 O remember that my chayim is wind: my eyes shall no
more see tov.
8 The eye of him that has seen me shall see me no more:
your eyes are on me, and I am not.
9 As the cloud is consumed and vanishes away: so is he
that goes down to Sheol; he shall come up no more.
10 He shall return no more to his bayit; neither shall his
place know him any more.
11 Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in
the anguish of my ruach; I will complain in the bitterness
of my being.
12 Am I a sea, or a whale, that You have set a watch over
me?
13 When I say, my bed shall comfort me; my couch shall
ease my complaint;
14 Then You scare me with dreams, and terrified me
through visions:
15 So that my being chooses strangling, and death rather
than my chayim.
16 I loathe it; I would not live always: leave me alone; for
my days are vanity.
17 What is man, that You should magnify him? And that
You should set Your lev on him?
18 And that You should visit him every morning, and try
him every moment?
19 How long will You stay and not depart from me, nor
leave me alone until I swallow down my saliva?
