stones he shall abide.

8:18. If one swallow him up out of his place, he shall deny him, and
shall say: I know thee not.

8:19. For this is the joy of his way, that others may spring again out
of the earth.

8:20. God will not cast away the simple, nor reach out his hand to the
evil doer:

8:21. Until thy mouth be filled with laughter, and thy lips with
rejoicing.

8:22. They that hate thee, shall be clothed with confusion: and the
dwelling of the wicked shall not stand.

Job Chapter 9

9:1. And Job answered, and said:

9:2. Indeed I know it is so, and that man cannot be justified, compared
with God.

9:3. If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one for a
thousand.

9:4. He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath resisted him,
and hath had peace?

9:5. Who hath removed mountains, and they whom he overthrew in his
wrath, knew it not.

9:6. Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof

9:15. I, who although I should have any just thing, would not answer,

9:16. And if he should hear me when I call, I should not believe that he

9:17. For he shall crush me in a whirlwind, and multiply my wounds even

Without cause... That is, without my knowing the cause: or without any
crime of mine.

9:18. He alloweth not my spirit to rest, and he filleth me with
bitterness.

9:19. If strength be demanded, he is most strong: if equity of judgment,
no man dare bear witness for me.

9:20. If I would justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I
