52 Week Bible Reading Plan

Job 41

1

Wilt thou draw out the leviathan with the hook, and press down his tongue with a cord?

2

Wilt thou put a rush-rope into his nose, and pierce his jaw with a spike?

3

Will he make many supplications unto thee? or will he speak softly unto thee?

4

Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him as a bondman for ever?

5

Wilt thou play with him as with a bird, and wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

6

Shall partners make traffic of him, will they divide him among merchants?

7

Wilt thou fill his skin with darts, and his head with fish-spears?

8

Lay thy hand upon him; remember the battle, -- do no more!

9

Lo, hope as to him is belied: is not one cast down even at the sight of him?

10

None is so bold as to stir him up; and who is he that will stand before me?

11

Who hath first given to me, that I should repay [him]? [Whatsoever is] under the whole heaven is mine.

12

I will not be silent as to his parts, the story of his power, and the beauty of his structure.

13

Who can uncover the surface of his garment? who can come within his double jaws?

14

Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.

15

The rows of his shields are a pride, shut up together [as with] a close seal.

16

One is so near to another that no air can come between them;

17

They are joined each to its fellow; they stick together, and cannot be sundered.

18

His sneezings flash light, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

19

Out of his mouth go forth flames; sparks of fire leap out:

20

Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a boiling pot and cauldron.

21

His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

22

In his neck lodgeth strength, and terror danceth before him.

23

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are fused upon him, they cannot be moved.

24

His heart is firm as a stone, yea, firm as the nether [millstone].

25

When he raiseth himself up, the mighty are afraid: they are beside themselves with consternation.

26

If any reach him with a sword, it cannot hold; neither spear, nor dart, nor harpoon.

27

He esteemeth iron as straw, bronze as rotten wood.

28

The arrow will not make him flee; slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

29

Clubs are counted as stubble; he laugheth at the shaking of a javelin.

30

His under parts are sharp potsherds: he spreadeth a threshing-sledge upon the mire.

31

He maketh the deep to boil like a pot; he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment;

32

He maketh the path to shine after him: one would think the deep to be hoary.

33

Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

34

He beholdeth all high things; he is king over all the proud beasts.

Job 42

1

And Job answered Jehovah and said,

2

I know that thou canst do everything, and that thou canst be hindered in no thought of thine.

3

Who is he that obscureth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4

Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and inform me.

5

I had heard of thee by the hearing of the ear, but now mine eye seeth thee:

6

Wherefore I abhor [myself], and repent in dust and ashes.

7

And it came to pass after Jehovah had spoken these words to Job, that Jehovah said to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger is kindled against thee, and against thy two friends; for ye have not spoken rightly of me, like my servant Job.

8

And now, take for yourselves 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, for ye have not spoken of me rightly, like my servant Job.

9

Then Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, went and did according as Jehovah had said unto them; and Jehovah accepted Job.

10

And Jehovah turned the captivity of Job, when he had prayed for his friends; and Jehovah gave Job twice as much as he had before.

11

And all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, came to him, and they ate bread with him in his house, and they condoled with him, and comforted him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him; and every one gave him a piece of money, and every one a golden ring.

12

And Jehovah blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

13

And he had seven sons and three daughters.

14

And he called the name of the first, Jemimah; and the name of the second, Keziah; and the name of the third, Keren-happuch.

15

And in all the land were no women found [so] fair as the daughters of Job; and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

16

And Job lived after this a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, four generations.

17

And Job died, old and full of days.
