13169 Even if he would slay me, would I not wait?I would only argue to his face for my own ways.
13173 Who is the one that will contend with me?For now were I to become silent I should simply expire!

13250 God hands me over to young boys,And into the hands of wicked ones he throws me headlong.

13252 …me;He splits open my kidneys and feels no compassion;He pours out my gallbladder to the very earth.

13289 His vigor becomes famished,And disaster stands ready to make him limp.
13291 His confidence will be torn away from his own tentAnd it will march him to the king of terrors.
13299 And Job proceeded to answer and say:
13301 These ten times YOU proceeded to rebuke me;YOU are not ashamed [that] YOU deal so hard with me.
13303 If for a fact against me YOU men do put on great airs,And YOU show my reproach to be proper against…

13357 And Job proceeded to answer and say:
13358 "Listen, YOU men, attentively to my word,And let this become YOUR consolation.
13360 As for me, is my concern [expressed] to man?Or why is it that my spirit does not get impatient?
13361 Turn YOUR faces to me and stare in amazement,And put [YOUR] hand upon [YOUR] mouth.

13388 As for him, to the graveyard he will be brought,And over a tomb a vigil will be kept.
13390 So how vainly YOU men try to comfort me,And YOUR very replies do remain as unfaithfulness!"

13423 O that I really knew where I might find him!I would come clear to his fixed place.
13425 I would know the words with which he answers me,And I would consider what he says to me.

13463 And Bil'dad the Shu'hite proceeded to answer and say:
13465 Is there any number to his troops?And upon whom does his light not rise?

13655 God's own spirit made me,And the Almighty's own breath proceeded to bring me to life.
13656 If you are able, make reply to me,Array [words] before me; do take your station.
13657 Look! I am to the [true] God just what you are;From the clay I was shaped, I too.
13661 Look! Occasions for opposition to me he finds,He takes me for an enemy of his.
13667 It is then that he uncovers the ear of men,And on exhortation to them he puts his seal,
13673 And his soul draws near to the pit,And his life to those inflicting death.
13674 If there exists for him a messenger,A spokesman, one out of a thousand,To tell to man his uprightne…

13684 If there are none, you yourself listen to me;Keep silent, and I shall teach you wisdom."
13685 And E·li'hu continued to answer and say:
13686 "Listen, YOU wise ones, to my words;And YOU who know, give ear to me.

13715 For will anyone actually say to God himself,'I have borne, although I do not act corruptly;
13718 Men of heart themselves will say to me-Even a wise able-bodied man that is listening to me,
13720 My father, let Job be tested out to the limitOver his replies among men of hurtfulness.
13724 For you say, 'Of what use is it to you?What benefit do I have more than by my sinning?'
13725 I myself shall reply to youAnd to your companions with you.
13726 Look up to heaven and see,And behold the clouds, [that] they are indeed higher than you.
13727 … what do you accomplish against him?And [if] your revolts actually increase, what do you do to him?
13729 Your wickedness may be against a man like you,And your righteousness to a son of earthling man.
13738 And E·li'hu proceeded to say further:
13739 "Have patience with me a little while, and I shall declare to youThat there are yet words [to say] …
13740 I shall carry my knowledge from far off,And to my Fashioner I shall ascribe righteousness.

13777 On the hand of every earthling man he puts a sealFor every mortal man to know his work.

13789 Let us know what we should say to him;We cannot produce [words] because of darkness.

13795 And Jehovah proceeded to answer Job out of the windstorm and say:
13798 Where did you happen to be when I founded the earth?Tell [me], if you do know understanding.
13802 And [who] barricaded the sea with doors,Which began to go forth as when it burst out from the womb;

13827 Have you come to know the statutes of the heavens,Or could you put its authority in the earth?
13828 Can you raise your voice even to the cloud,So that a heaving mass of water itself may cover you?
13829 Can you send forth lightnings that they may goAnd say to you, 'Here we are!'?

13864 From there it has to search for food;Far into the distance its eyes keep looking.
13866 And Jehovah proceeded to answer Job and say:
13868 And Job went on to answer Jehovah and say:
13869 "Look! I have become of little account.What shall I reply to you?My hand I have put over my mouth.
13871 And Jehovah went on to answer Job out of the windstorm and say:
13892 Will it make many entreaties to you,Or will it say soft words to you?
13893 Will it conclude a covenant with you,That you may take it as a slave to time indefinite?
13900 Who has given me something first, that I ought to reward him?Under the whole heavens it is mine.

13922 Upon the dust there is not the like of it,The one made to be without terror.

15124 They did not keep the covenant of God,And in his law they refused to walk.
15125 They also began to forget his dealingsAnd his wonderful works that he caused them to see.
15127 He split the sea, that he might let them pass over,And he caused the waters to stand like a dam.
15128 And he continued to lead them with a cloud by dayAnd the whole night with a light of fire.
15129 He proceeded to split rocks in the wilderness,That he might cause [them] to drink an abundance just…
15130 And he went bringing forth streams out of a cragAnd causing waters to descend just like rivers.
15132 And they proceeded to test God in their heartBy asking for something to eat for their soul.

15630 And Israel proceeded to come into Egypt,And Jacob himself resided as an alien in the land of Ham.

15685 For they embittered his spiritAnd he began to speak rashly with his lips.
15686 They did not annihilate the peoples,As Jehovah had said to them.

16452 For down to death her house does sink and down to those impotent in death her tracks.
16458 because length of days and years of life and peace will be added to you.
16464 May it become a healing to your navel and a refreshment to your bones.

16486 Do not quarrel with a man without cause, if he has rendered no bad to you.
16488 For the devious person is a detestable thing to Jehovah, but His intimacy is with the upright ones.
16490 If it has to do with ridiculers, he himself will deride; but to the meek ones he will show favor.
16491 Honor is what the wise ones will come to possess, but the stupid ones are exalting dishonor.
16492 Listen, O sons, to the discipline of a father and pay attention, so as to know understanding.
16493 For good instruction is what I certainly shall give to YOU. My law DO not leave.
16494 For I proved to be a real son to my father, tender and the only one before my mother.

16514 More than all else that is to be guarded, safeguard your heart, for out of it are the sources of li…
16518 Do not incline to the right hand or to the left. Remove your foot from what is bad.
16519 My son, to my wisdom O do pay attention. To my discernment incline your ears,
16520 so as to guard thinking abilities; and may your own lips safeguard knowledge itself.
16523 Her feet are descending to death. Her very steps take hold on She'ol itself.
16525 So now, O sons, listen to me and do not turn away from the sayings of my mouth.
16526 Keep your way far off from alongside her, and do not get near to the entrance of her house,
16527 that you may not give to others your dignity, nor your years to what is cruel;
16529 nor you have to groan in your future when your flesh and your organism come to an end.

16557 There are six things that Jehovah does hate; yes, seven are things detestable to his soul:
16559 a heart fabricating hurtful schemes, feet that are in a hurry to run to badness,
16565 to guard you against the bad woman, against the smoothness of the tongue of the foreign woman.
16567 because in behalf of a woman prostitute [one comes down] to a round loaf of bread; but as regards a…
16571 People do not despise a thief just because he commits thievery to fill his soul when he is hungry.
16573 …itting adultery with a woman is in want of heart; he that does it is bringing his own soul to ruin.
16580 Say to wisdom: "You are my sister"; and may you call understanding itself "Kinswoman,"
16581 to guard you against the woman stranger, against the foreigner who has made her own sayings smooth.
16584 passing along on the street near her corner, and in the way to her house he marches,

16600 And now, O sons, listen to me and pay attention to the sayings of my mouth.

23623 But in the fourth watch period of the night he came to them, walking over the sea.
23625 But at once Jesus spoke to them with the words: "Take courage, it is I; have no fear."
23626 In reply Peter said to him: "Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you over the waters."
23628 But looking at the windstorm, he got afraid and, after starting to sink, he cried out: "Lord, save …

23658 In answer he said: "I was not sent forth to any but to the lost sheep of the house of Israel."
23659 When the woman came she began doing obeisance to him, saying: "Lord, help me!"
23660 In answer he said: "It is not right to take the bread of the children and throw it to little dogs."
23662 Then Jesus said in reply to her: "O woman, great is your faith; let it happen to you as you wish." …

23714 Then the disciples perceived that he spoke to them about John the Baptist.

23718 …eration, how long must I continue with YOU? How long must I put up with YOU? Bring him here to me."

25783 In reply he said to them: "I will also ask YOU a question, and YOU tell me:

25806 Well, they were not able to catch him in this saying before the people, but, in amazement at his an…
25814 Jesus said to them: "The children of this system of things marry and are given in marriage,
25818 He is a God, not of the dead, but of the living, for they are all living to him."
25820 For no longer did they have the courage to ask him a single question.
25821 In turn he said to them: "How is it they say that the Christ is David's son?
25822 For David himself says in the book of Psalms, 'Jehovah said to my Lord, Sit at my right hand

25865 And all the people would come early in the day to him in the temple to hear him.
25867 Also, the chief priests and the scribes were seeking the effective way for them to get rid of him, …
25869 … talked with the chief priests and [temple] captains about the effective way to betray him to them.
25870 Well, they rejoiced and agreed to give him silver money.
25871 So he consented, and he began to seek a good opportunity to betray him to them without a crowd arou…
25873 and he dispatched Peter and John, saying: "Go and get the passover ready for us to eat."
25874 They said to him: "Where do you want us to get [it] ready?"

25876 And YOU must say to the landlord of the house, 'The Teacher says to you: "Where is the guest room i…
25878 So they departed and found it just as he had said to them, and they got the passover ready.

25888 So they started to discuss among themselves the question of which of them would really be the one t…
25889 However, there also arose a heated dispute among them over which one of them seemed to be greatest.
25890 But he said to them: "The kings of the nations lord it over them, and those having authority over t…

25896 "Simon, Simon, look! Satan has demanded to have YOU men to sift YOU as wheat.

25900 He also said to them: "When I sent YOU forth without purse and food pouch and sandals, YOU did not …
25901 Then he said to them: "But now let the one that has a purse take it up, likewise also a food pouch;…
25903 Then they said: "Lord, look! here are two swords." He said to them: "It is enough."
25904 On going out he went as customarily to the Mount of Olives; and the disciples also followed him.
25905 Having come to the place he said to them: "Carry on prayer, that YOU do not enter into temptation."
25906 And he himself drew away from them about a stone's throw, and bent his knees and began to pray,
25908 Then an angel from heaven appeared to him and strengthened him.
25909 … he continued praying more earnestly; and his sweat became as drops of blood falling to the ground.
25910 And he rose from prayer, went to the disciples and found them slumbering from grief;

25914 When those about him saw what was going to happen, they said: "Lord, shall we strike with the sword…

25956 Again Pilate called out to them, because he wanted to release Jesus.
25957 Then they began to yell, saying: "Impale! Impale him!"
25958 The third time he said to them: "Why, what bad thing did this [man] do? I found nothing deserving o…
25959 At this they began to be urgent, with loud voices, demanding that he be impaled; and their voices b…

25979 And he said to him: "Truly I tell you today, You will be with me in Paradise."
25983 Because of seeing what occurred the army officer began to glorify God, saying: "Really this man was…
