Part 22

18:024:020 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.

18:024:021 He evil entreateth the barren that beareth not: and doeth not good to the widow.

18:024:022 He draweth also the mighty with his power: he riseth up, and no man is sure of life.

18:024:023 Though it be given him to be in safety, whereon he resteth; yet his eyes are upon their ways.

18:024:024 They are exalted for a little while, but are gone and brought low; they are taken out of the way as all other, and cut off as the tops of the ears of corn.

18:024:025 And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

18:025:001 Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said,

18:025:002 Dominion and fear are with him, he maketh peace in his high places.

18:025:003 Is there any number of his armies? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

18:025:004 How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

18:025:005 Behold even to the moon, and it shineth not; yea, the stars are not pure in his sight.

18:025:006 How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

18:026:001 But Job answered and said,

18:026:002 How hast thou helped him that is without power? how savest thou the arm that hath no strength?

18:026:003 How hast thou counselled him that hath no wisdom? and how hast thou plentifully declared the thing as it is?

18:026:004 To whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

18:026:005 Dead things are formed from under the waters, and the inhabitants thereof.

18:026:006 Hell is naked before him, and destruction hath no covering.

18:026:007 He stretcheth out the north over the empty place, and hangeth the earth upon nothing.

18:026:008 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.

18:026:009 He holdeth back the face of his throne, and spreadeth his cloud upon it.

18:026:010 He hath compassed the waters with bounds, until the day and night come to an end.

18:026:011 The pillars of heaven tremble and are astonished at his reproof.

18:026:012 He divideth the sea with his power, and by his understanding he smiteth through the proud.

18:026:013 By his spirit he hath garnished the heavens; his hand hath formed the crooked serpent.

18:026:014 Lo, these are parts of his ways: but how little a portion is heard of him? but the thunder of his power who can understand?

18:027:001 Moreover Job continued his parable, and said,
