6 Shall thy companions make a banquet of him? fhall they part him among the merchants?

7 Canft thou fill his fkin with barbed irons? or his head with fish-spears?

8, Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

9 Behold, the hope of him is in vain: fhall not one be caft down even at the fight of him?

10 None is fo fierce that dare ftir him up; who then is able to ftand before me?

II Who hath prevented me that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole

heaven is mine.

12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

13 Who can difcover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his

double bridle?

14 Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

15 His fcales are his pride, fhut up together as with a close feal.

16 One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

17 They are joined one to another, they ftick together, that they cannot be fundered.

18 By his neefings a light doth fhine, and his eyes are like the eye-lids of the morn→ ing.

19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

20 Out of his noftrils goeth fmoke, as out of a feething pot or caldron.

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

22 In his neck remaineth ftrength, and forrow is turned into joy before him.

23 The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themfelves; they cannot be moved.

24 His heart is as firm as a ftone: yea, as hard as a piece of the nether mill tone.

25 When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid:

by reafon of breakings they purify themselves.

26 The fword of him that layeth at him cannot hold; the fpear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

27 He efteemeth iron as Straw, and brass as rotten wood.

28 The arrow cannot make him flee: fling-ftones are turned with him into ftubble.

29 Darts are counted as ftubble he laugheth at the fhaking of a spear.

30 Sharp ftones are under him he fpreadeth fharppointed things upon the

from thee.

3 Who is he that hideth counfel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered that I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

4 Hear, I beseech thee, and I will speak: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

5 I have heard of thee by the hearing of the ear: but now mine eye feeth thee.

6 Wherefore I abhor mySelf, and repent in dust and afhes.

7 And it was fo, that after the Lord had spoken these words unto Job, the Lord faid to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against thee, and againft thy two friends: for ye have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my fervant Job bath.

8 Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourfelves a burnt-offering; and my fervant Job fhall pray for you for him will I accept : left I deal with you after your folly, in that ye have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my fervant Job.

9 So Eliphaz the Temanite,

and Zophar the Naamathite, went, and did according as the Lord commanded them: the Lord alfo accepted Job.

ΙΟ ¶ And the Lord turned the captivity of Job, when he prayed for his friends: also the Lord gave Job twice as much as he had before.

II Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his fifters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the Lord had brought upon him: every man alfo gave him a piece of money, and every one an ear-ring of gold.

12 So the Lord bleffed the latter end of Job more

had fourteen thousand sheep, and fix thoufand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand fhe-affes.

13 He had also seven sons, and three daughters.

14 And he called the name of the first Jemima; and the name of the fecond, Kezia; 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 After this lived Job an hundred and forty years, and faw his fons, and his fons fons, even four generations.

17 So Job died, being old and full of days.

PSALM I.

LESSED is the man that walketh not in the counfel of the ungodly, nor ftandeth in the way of finners, nor fitteth in the feat of the scornful.

2 But his delight is in the law of the Lord, and in his law doth he meditate day and night.

3 And he shall be like a tree planted by the rivers of water, that bringeth forth his fruit in his season; his leaf alfo fhall not wither, and whatsoever he doeth, fhall profper.
