Bible. Job
18:041:020 Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or
caldron.
18:041:021 His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.
18:041:022 In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy
before him.
18:041:023 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in
themselves; they cannot be moved.
18:041:024 His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of
the nether millstone.
18:041:025 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason
of breakings they purify themselves.
18:041:026 The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear,
the dart, nor the habergeon.
18:041:027 He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.
18:041:028 The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with
him into stubble.
18:041:029 Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a
spear.
18:041:030 Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things
upon the mire.
18:041:031 He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like
a pot of ointment.
18:041:032 He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep
to be hoary.
18:041:033 Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.
18:041:034 He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the
children of pride.
18:042:001 Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
18:042:002 I know that thou canst do every thing, and that no thought can
be withholden from thee.
18:042:003 Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? therefore
have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for
me, which I knew not.
18:042:004 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee,
and declare thou unto me.
18:042:005 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine
eye seeth thee.
18:042:006 Wherefore I abhor myself, and repent in dust and ashes.
18:042:007 And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto
Job, the LORD 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.
18:042:008 Therefore take unto you now 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: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that ye
have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my
servant Job.
18:042:009 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the
Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them:
the LORD also accepted Job.
