Hebrew Bible, Job, 33-37

nan

My words shall utter the uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.,Behold, I answer thee: In this thou art not right, That God is too great for man;,Behold, He findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for His enemy;,That men may put away their purpose, And that He may hide pride from man;,Behold now, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in my mouth.,Then He is gracious unto him, and saith: ‘Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.’,He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And all his bones grow stiff;,Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.,He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.’ .,Why hast thou striven against Him? Seeing that He will not answer any of his words.,For God speaketh in one way, Yea in two, though man perceiveth it not.,To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.,Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.,Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of thy words;,His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones corrode to unsightliness.,Lo, all these things doth God work, Twice, yea thrice, with a man,,If not, hearken thou unto me; Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.,Behold, I am toward God even as thou art; I also am formed out of the clay.,’I am clean, without transgression, I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me;,Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers.,Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me; Hold thy peace, and I will speak.,He prayeth unto God, and He is favourable unto him; So that he seeth His face with joy; And He restoreth unto man his righteousness.,He cometh before men, and saith: ‘I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not.’,That He may keep back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.,If there be for him an angel, An intercessor, one among a thousand, To vouch for a man’s uprightness;,If thou canst, answer thou me, Set thy words in order before me, stand forth.,Then He openeth the ears of men, And by their chastisement sealeth the decree,,His flesh is tenderer than a child’s; He returneth to the days of his youth;,So He redeemeth his soul from going into the pit, And his life beholdeth the light.,In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed;,If thou hast any thing to say, answer me; Speak, for I desire to justify thee.,So that his life maketh him to abhor bread, And his soul dainty food.,The spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty given me life.

For they all are the work of His hands.,For Job hath said: ‘I am righteous, And God hath taken away my right;,Moreover Elihu answered and said:,He striketh them as wicked men In the open sight of others;,Shall His recompense be as thou wilt? For thou loathest it, So that thou must choose, and not I; Therefore speak what thou knowest.,If He set His heart upon man, If He gather unto Himself his spirit and his breath;,That the godless man reign not, That there be none to ensnare the people.,For His eyes are upon the ways of a man, And He seeth all his goings.,Would that Job were tried unto the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.,That which I see not teach Thou me; If I have done iniquity, I will do it no more’?,Shall even one that hateth right govern? And wilt thou condemn Him that is just and mighty—,For the work of a man will He requite unto him, And cause every man to find according to his ways.,For He doth not appoint a time unto any man, When he should go before God in judgment.,For he hath said: ‘It profiteth a man nothing That he should be in accord with God.’,All flesh shall perish together, And man shall return unto dust.,There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, Where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.,For hath any said unto God: ‘I have borne chastisement, though I offend not;,Therefore He taketh knowledge of their works; And He overturneth them in the night, so that they are crushed.,For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, He clappeth his hands among us, And multiplieth his words against God.,What man is like Job, Who drinketh up scorning like water?,Because they turned aside from following Him, And would not have regard to any of His ways;,Who gave Him a charge over the earth? Or who hath disposed the whole world?,He breaketh in pieces mighty men without inquisition, And setteth others in their stead.

That thou inquirest: ‘What advantage will it be unto Thee?’ And: ‘What profit shall I have, more than if I had sinned?’,There they cry, but none giveth answer, Because of the pride of evil men.,I will give thee answer, And thy companions with thee.,If thou hast sinned, what doest thou against Him?

And hath He not full knowledge of arrogance?,Moreover Elihu answered and said:,If thou be righteous, what givest thou Him? Or what receiveth He of thy hand?,Thinkest thou this to be thy right, Or sayest thou: ‘I am righteousness before God’,,Look unto the heavens, and see; And behold the skies, which are higher than thou.

Or who hath said: ‘Thou hast wrought unrighteousness’?,And thou art full of the judgment of the wicked; Judgment and justice take hold on them.,But if they hearken not, they shall perish by the sword, And they shall die without knowledge.,Yea, He hath allured thee out of distress Into a broad place, where there is no straitness; And that which is set on thy table is full of fatness;,He withdraweth not His eyes from the righteous; But with kings upon the throne He setteth them for ever, and they are exalted.,And if they be bound in fetters, And be holden in cords of affliction;,He preserveth not the life of the wicked; But giveth to the poor their right.,Behold, God doeth loftily in His power; Who is a teacher like Him?,For by these He judgeth the peoples; He giveth food in abundance.,Take heed, regard not iniquity; For this hast thou chosen rather than affliction.,He openeth also their ear to discipline, And commandeth that they return from iniquity.,If they hearken and serve Him, They shall spend their days in prosperity, And their years in pleasures.,He delivereth the afflicted by His affliction, And openeth their ear by tribulation.,I will fetch my knowledge from afar, And will ascribe righteousness to my Maker.,Behold, God is mighty, yet He despiseth not any; He is mighty in strength of understanding.,All men have looked thereon; Man beholdeth it afar off.,For beware of wrath, lest thou be led away by thy sufficiency; Neither let the greatness of the ransom turn thee aside.,But they that are godless in heart lay up anger; They cry not for help when He bindeth them.,Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it; And He covereth the depths of the sea.,Will thy riches avail, that are without stint, Or all the forces of thy strength?,Elihu also proceeded, and said:,Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, The crashings of His pavilion?,Their soul perisheth in youth, And their life as that of the depraved.,Which the skies pour down And drop upon the multitudes of men.,Desire not the night, When peoples are cut off in their place.,Behold, God is great, beyond our knowledge; The number of His years is unsearchable.,For truly my words are not false; One that is upright in mind is with thee.,Suffer me a little, and I will tell thee; For there are yet words on God’s behalf.

At this also my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place.,Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens.,Whether it be for correction, or for His earth, Or for mercy, that He cause it to come.,Out of the north cometh golden splendour, About God is terrible majesty.,By the breath of God ice is given, And the breadth of the waters is straitened.,Shall it be told Him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?,Out of the Chamber cometh the storm; And cold out of the north.,For He saith to the snow: ‘Fall thou on the earth’; Likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of His mighty rain.,Canst thou with Him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?,Hear attentively the noise of His voice, And the sound that goeth out of His mouth.,Men do therefore fear Him; He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.,Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?,God thundereth marvellously with His voice; Great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend.,He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, And His lightning unto the ends of the earth.,After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of His majesty; And He stayeth them not when His voice is heard.,And they are turned round about by His guidance, That they may do whatsoever He commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world:,Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with moister, He spreadeth abroad the cloud of His lightning;,The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, is excellent in power, Yet to judgment and plenteous justice He doeth no violence.,He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom He hath made may know it.,Dost thou know how God enjoineth them, And causeth the lightning of His cloud to shine?,Thou whose garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind;,Hearken unto this, O Job; Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.,Teach us what we shall say unto Him; For we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.,And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

And Raphael was sent to heal the two of them: to scale away the white films of Tobits eyes; to give Sarah the daughter of Raguel in marriage to Tobias the son of Tobit, and to bind Asmodeus the evil demon, because Tobias was entitled to possess her.

18.16. And the men rose up from thence, and looked out toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to bring them on the way." 18.17. And the LORD said: ‘Shall I hide from Abraham that which I am doing;" 18.18. seeing that Abraham shall surely become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him?" 18.19. For I have known him, to the end that he may command his children and his household after him, that they may keep the way of the LORD, to do righteousness and justice; to the end that the LORD may bring upon Abraham that which He hath spoken of him.’" 18.20. And the LORD said: ‘Verily, the cry of Sodom and Gomorrah is great, and, verily, their sin is exceeding grievous." 18.21. I will go down now, and see whether they have done altogether according to the cry of it, which is come unto Me; and if not, I will know.’" 18.22. And the men turned from thence, and went toward Sodom; but Abraham stood yet before the LORD." 18.23. And Abraham drew near, and said: ‘Will You indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked?" 18.24. Peradventure there are fifty righteous within the city; wilt Thou indeed sweep away and not forgive the place for the fifty righteous that are therein?" 18.25. That be far from Thee to do after this manner, to slay the righteous with the wicked, that so the righteous should be as the wicked; that be far from Thee; shall not the judge of all the earth do justly?’" 18.26. And the LORD said: ‘If I find in Sodom fifty righteous within the city, then I will forgive all the place for their sake.’" 18.27. And Abraham answered and said: ‘Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord, who am but dust and ashes." 18.28. Peradventure there shall lack five of the fifty righteous; wilt Thou destroy all the city for lack of five?’ And He said: ‘I will not destroy it, if I find there forty and five.’" 18.29. And he spoke unto Him yet again, and said: ‘Peradventure there shall be forty found there.’ And He said: ‘I will not do it for the forty’s sake.’" 18.30. And he said: ‘Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak. Peradventure there shall thirty be found there.’ And He said: ‘I will not do it, if I find thirty there.’" 18.31. And he said: ‘Behold now, I have taken upon me to speak unto the Lord. Peradventure there shall be twenty found there.’ And He said: ‘I will not destroy it for the twenty’s sake.’" 18.32. And he said: ‘Oh, let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak yet but this once. Peradventure ten shall be found there.’ And He said: ‘I will not destroy it for the ten’s sake.’" 18.33. And the LORD went His way, as soon as He had left off speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned unto his place." 45.4. And Joseph said unto his brethren: ‘Come near to me, I pray you.’ And they came near. And he said: ‘I am Joseph your brother, whom ye sold into Egypt." 45.5. And now be not grieved, nor angry with yourselves, that ye sold me hither; for God did send me before you to preserve life." 45.6. For these two years hath the famine been in the land; and there are yet five years, in which there shall be neither plowing nor harvest." 45.7. And God sent me before you to give you a remt on the earth, and to save you alive for a great deliverance." 45.8. So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God; and He hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house, and ruler over all the land of Egypt." 50.20. And as for you, ye meant evil against me; but God meant it for good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to save much people alive." 50.21. Now therefore fear ye not; I will sustain you, and your little ones.’ And he comforted them, and spoke kindly unto them."

Thus the Lord GOD showed me; and, behold, the Lord GOD called to contend by fire; and it devoured the great deep, and would have eaten up the land." 7.5. Then said I: O Lord GOD, cease, I beseech Thee; How shall Jacob stand? for he is small." 7.6. The LORD repented concerning this; ‘This also shall not be’, saith the Lord GOD."

12.1. רֹעִים רַבִּים שִׁחֲתוּ כַרְמִי בֹּסְסוּ אֶת־חֶלְקָתִי נָתְנוּ אֶת־חֶלְקַת חֶמְדָּתִי לְמִדְבַּר שְׁמָמָה׃ 12.1. צַדִּיק אַתָּה יְהוָה כִּי אָרִיב אֵלֶיךָ אַךְ מִשְׁפָּטִים אֲדַבֵּר אוֹתָךְ מַדּוּעַ דֶּרֶךְ רְשָׁעִים צָלֵחָה שָׁלוּ כָּל־בֹּגְדֵי בָגֶד׃ 12.2. נְטַעְתָּם גַּם־שֹׁרָשׁוּ יֵלְכוּ גַּם־עָשׂוּ פֶרִי קָרוֹב אַתָּה בְּפִיהֶם וְרָחוֹק מִכִּלְיוֹתֵיהֶם׃ 12.3. וְאַתָּה יְהוָה יְדַעְתָּנִי תִּרְאֵנִי וּבָחַנְתָּ לִבִּי אִתָּךְ הַתִּקֵם כְּצֹאן לְטִבְחָה וְהַקְדִּשֵׁם לְיוֹם הֲרֵגָה׃ 12.4. עַד־מָתַי תֶּאֱבַל הָאָרֶץ וְעֵשֶׂב כָּל־הַשָּׂדֶה יִיבָשׁ מֵרָעַת יֹשְׁבֵי־בָהּ סָפְתָה בְהֵמוֹת וָעוֹף כִּי אָמְרוּ לֹא יִרְאֶה אֶת־אַחֲרִיתֵנוּ׃ 20.14. אָרוּר הַיּוֹם אֲשֶׁר יֻלַּדְתִּי בּוֹ יוֹם אֲשֶׁר־יְלָדַתְנִי אִמִּי אַל־יְהִי בָרוּךְ׃ 20.15. אָרוּר הָאִישׁ אֲשֶׁר בִּשַּׂר אֶת־אָבִי לֵאמֹר יֻלַּד־לְךָ בֵּן זָכָר שַׂמֵּחַ שִׂמֳּחָהוּ׃ 20.17. אֲשֶׁר לֹא־מוֹתְתַנִי מֵרָחֶם וַתְּהִי־לִי אִמִּי קִבְרִי וְרַחְמָה הֲרַת עוֹלָם׃ 20.18. לָמָּה זֶּה מֵרֶחֶם יָצָאתִי לִרְאוֹת עָמָל וְיָגוֹן וַיִּכְלוּ בְּבֹשֶׁת יָמָי׃

12.1. Right wouldest Thou be, O LORD, were I to contend with Thee, yet will I reason with Thee: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? Wherefore are all they secure that deal very treacherously?" 12.2. Thou hast planted them, yea, they have taken root; they grow, yea, they bring forth fruit; thou art near in their mouth, and far from their reins." 12.3. But Thou, O LORD, knowest me, Thou seest me, and triest my heart toward Thee; pull them out like sheep for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter." 12.4. How long shall the land mourn, and the herbs of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of them that dwell therein, the beasts are consumed, and the birds; because they said: ‘He seeth not our end.’" 20.14. Cursed be the day Wherein I was born; The day wherein my mother bore me, Let it not be blessed." 20.15. Cursed be the man who brought tidings To my father, saying: ‘A man-child is born unto thee’; Making him very glad." 20.17. Because He slew me not from the womb; And so my mother would have been my grave, And her womb always great." 20.18. Wherefore came I forth out of the womb To see labour and sorrow, That my days should be consumed in shame?"

7. Hebrew Bible, Ezekiel, 14.14, 14.17 (6th cent. BCE - 5th cent. BCE)

14.14. וְהָיוּ שְׁלֹשֶׁת הָאֲנָשִׁים הָאֵלֶּה בְּתוֹכָהּ נֹחַ דנאל [דָּנִיֵּאל] וְאִיּוֹב הֵמָּה בְצִדְקָתָם יְנַצְּלוּ נַפְשָׁם נְאֻם אֲדֹנָי יְהוִה׃ 14.17. אוֹ חֶרֶב אָבִיא עַל־הָאָרֶץ הַהִיא וְאָמַרְתִּי חֶרֶב תַּעֲבֹר בָּאָרֶץ וְהִכְרַתִּי מִמֶּנָּה אָדָם וּבְהֵמָה׃

14.14. though these three men, Noah, Daniel, and Job, were in it, they should deliver but their own souls by their righteousness, saith the Lord GOD." 14.17. Or if I bring a sword upon that land, and say: Let the sword go through the land, so that I cut off from it man and beast;"

8. Hebrew Bible, Ecclesiastes, 4.1-4.3, 5.7 (5th cent. BCE - 2nd cent. BCE)

4.1. כִּי אִם־יִפֹּלוּ הָאֶחָד יָקִים אֶת־חֲבֵרוֹ וְאִילוֹ הָאֶחָד שֶׁיִּפּוֹל וְאֵין שֵׁנִי לַהֲקִימוֹ׃ 4.1. וְשַׁבְתִּי אֲנִי וָאֶרְאֶה אֶת־כָּל־הָעֲשֻׁקִים אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשִׂים תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ וְהִנֵּה דִּמְעַת הָעֲשֻׁקִים וְאֵין לָהֶם מְנַחֵם וּמִיַּד עֹשְׁקֵיהֶם כֹּחַ וְאֵין לָהֶם מְנַחֵם׃ 4.2. וְשַׁבֵּחַ אֲנִי אֶת־הַמֵּתִים שֶׁכְּבָר מֵתוּ מִן־הַחַיִּים אֲשֶׁר הֵמָּה חַיִּים עֲדֶנָה׃ 4.3. וְטוֹב מִשְּׁנֵיהֶם אֵת אֲשֶׁר־עֲדֶן לֹא הָיָה אֲשֶׁר לֹא־רָאָה אֶת־הַמַּעֲשֶׂה הָרָע אֲשֶׁר נַעֲשָׂה תַּחַת הַשָּׁמֶשׁ׃ 5.7. אִם־עֹשֶׁק רָשׁ וְגֵזֶל מִשְׁפָּט וָצֶדֶק תִּרְאֶה בַמְּדִינָה אַל־תִּתְמַהּ עַל־הַחֵפֶץ כִּי גָבֹהַּ מֵעַל גָּבֹהַ שֹׁמֵר וּגְבֹהִים עֲלֵיהֶם׃

4.1. But I returned and considered all the oppressions that are done under the sun; and behold the tears of such as were oppressed, and they had no comforter; and on the side of their oppressors there was power, but they had no comforter." 4.2. Wherefore I praised the dead that are already dead more than the living that are yet alive;" 4.3. but better than they both is he that hath not yet been, who hath not seen the evil work that is done under the sun." 5.7. If thou seest the oppression of the poor, and the violent perverting of justice and righteousness in the state, marvel not at the matter; for one higher than the high watcheth, and there are higher than they."

9. Septuagint, Tobit, 2.12-2.14, 3.16-3.17, 8.3, 12.12 (4th cent. BCE - 2nd cent. BCE)

10. Mishnah, Hagigah, 2.1 (1st cent. CE - 3rd cent. CE)

2.1. They may not expound upon the subject of forbidden relations in the presence of three. Nor the work of creation in the presence of two. Nor [the work of] the chariot in the presence of one, unless he is a sage and understands of his own knowledge. Whoever speculates upon four things, it would have been better had he not come into the world: what is above, what is beneath, what came before, and what came after. And whoever takes no thought for the honor of his creator, it would have been better had he not come into the world."

11. New Testament, James, 5.10-5.11 (1st cent. CE - 1st cent. CE)

5.10. Take, brothers, for an example of suffering and of patience, the prophets who spoke in the name of the Lord. 5.11. Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.

12. Tosefta, Hagigah, 2.2 (1st cent. CE - 2nd cent. CE)

2.2. Four entered the orchard: Ben Azzai, Ben Zoma, another, and Rabbi Akiva. One looked and died. One looked and was harmed. One looked and cut down the trees. And one went up in peace and went down in peace. Ben Azzai looked and died. Scripture says about him (Psalms 116, 15): \"Precious in the sight of the LORD Is the death of His saints\". Ben Zoma looked and was harmed. Scripture says about him (Proverbs 25, 16): \"Hast thou found honey? eat so much as is sufficient for thee\" and the continuation. [Cont. of the verse: \"Lest thou be filled therewith, and vomit it.\" Elisha looked and cut down the trees. Scripture says about him (Ecclesiastes 5, 5): \"Suffer not thy mouth to bring thy flesh into guilt\" etc. Rabbi Akiva went up in peace and went down in peace. Scripture says about him (Song of Songs 1, 4): \"Draw me, we will run after thee\" etc. They gave a parable: What is this similar to? To the orchard of a king and there is an attic above it. It is upon [the man] to look so long as he does not move [his eyes] from it. Another parable was given. What is this similar tp? To [a street] that passes between two paths, one of fire, and one of snow. If it leans one way, it gets burned [by the fire]. If it leans the other way it gets burned by the snow. A man must walk in the middle and not lean to or fro. A story of Rabbi Yehoshua [Who was walkin in the street and Ben Zoma came opposite him] he reached him and did not greet him. He said to him [from where and to where] Ben Zoma? He said to him: I was watching the creation, and there is not between the upper waters and the lower waters even a handbreadth. As it is written (Genesis 1, 2) \"and the spirit of God hovered over the face of the waters\". And it says (Deuteronomy 32, 11): \"As a vulture that stirreth up her nest\" etc. Just as the vulture flies over the nest, touching and not touching, so too there is not even a handbreadth between the upper waters and lower waters. Rabbi Yehoshua said to his students: Ben Zoma is already outside. In a few days, Ben Zoma passed away."

13. Anon., Pistis Sophia, 3.126 (3rd cent. CE - 4th cent. CE)

14. Anon., Midrash On Song of Songs, 1.4

1.4. An additional meaning: \"See a man diligent in his work, before kings he will stand, he will not stand before mean men\", this is Rabbi Hanina. He (Rabbi Hanina) said: \"Once I saw men of the city bringing up (lit., i.e offering, sacrificing) burnt-offerings and peace-offerings. I said, \"All of them are bringing up peace-offerings to Jerusalem and I am not bringing up anything!? What will I do? Immediately I went out to the wilderness of the city, in the ruins of the city, and there I found one stone, I went out, cracked it, chiseled it, and polished it. He said, \"Behold, it is upon me to ascend to Jerusalem.\" He sought to procure workers for himself. He said to them, \"You (plural) bring up to me this stone to Jerusalem.\" He said to him, \"Give us our wages\", 100 gold pieces (\"Zahuvim\" lit., a type of gold-based currency), and we will bring your stone up to you, to Jerusalem.\" He said to them, \"And thus, from where will I have 100 gold pieces or 50 gold pieces to give to you all!?\" And he did not find for the hour, immediately they went to them. Immediately The Holy One Blessed Be He summoned to him 5 angels, with the appearance of the men (\"Sons of man\" lit.). They said to him, \"Our teacher/master, give to us 5 selas, and we will bring up your stone to Jerusalem, and only that you will give your hand with us. And he he gave his hand with them, and they were found standing in Jerusalem. He sought to give to them their wages, but he could not find them. The story came to the Chamber of Hewn Stone (the High Court). They said to him, \"Our teacher is similar to the ministering angels, they brought up your stone to Jerusalem!\" Immediately he gave to the Wise Men the wages that he was to pay with the angels."
