Lexicon :: Strong's H1961 - hāyâ

There was a man ^H376 in the land ^H776 of Uz ^H5780 whose name ^H8034 was Job ^H347; and that man ^H376 was blameless ^H8535, upright ^H3477, fearing ^H3372 God ^H430 and turning ^H5493 away ^H5493 from evil ^H7451.

Now on the day ^H3117 when his sons ^H1121 and his daughters ^H1323 were eating ^H398 and drinking ^H8354 wine ^H3196 in their oldest ^H1060 brother’s ^H251 house ^H1004,

“Naked ^H6174 I came ^H3318 from my mother’s ^H517 womb ^H990,

And naked ^H6174 I shall return ^H7725 there ^H8033.

The LORD ^H3068 gave ^H5414 and the LORD ^H3068 has taken ^H3947 away.

Blessed ^H1288 be the name ^H8034 of the LORD ^H3068.”

Again, there was a day ^H3117 when the sons ^H1121 of God ^H430 came ^H935 to present ^H3320 themselves before ^H5921 the LORD ^H3068, and [fn]Satan ^H7854 also ^H1571 came ^H935 among ^H8432 them to present ^H3320 himself before ^H5921 the LORD ^H3068.

“May that day ^H3117 be darkness ^H2822;

May God ^H433 above ^H4605 not care ^H1875 for it,

Nor ^H408 light ^H5105 shine ^H3313 on it.

“Behold ^H2009, may that night ^H3915 be barren ^H1565;

May no ^H408 joyful ^H7445 shout ^H7445 enter ^H935 it.

“Or ^H176 like a miscarriage ^H5309 which is [fn]hidden ^H2934, I would not exist ^H1961,

As infants ^H5768 that never ^H3808 saw ^H7200 light ^H216.

“So the helpless ^H1800 has ^H1961 hope ^H8615,

And injustice ^H5766 has shut ^H7092 its mouth ^H6310.

“But it is still ^H5750 my comfort ^H5165,

And I rejoice ^H5539 in unsparing ^H3808 H2550 pain ^H2427,

That I have not [fn]denied ^H3582 the words ^H561 of the Holy ^H6918 One ^H6918.

“Indeed ^H3588, you have now ^H6258 become ^H1961 such ^H3808,

You see ^H7200 terrors ^H2866 and are ^H3372 afraid ^H3372.

“Please ^H4994 turn ^H7725 away ^H7725, let there be no ^H408 injustice ^H5766;

Turn ^H7725 away ^H7725, my righteousness ^H6664 is still ^H5750 in it.

“Have I sinned ^H2398? What ^H4100 have I done ^H6466 to You,

Watcher ^H5341 of mankind ^H120?

Why ^H4100 have You made ^H7760 me Your target ^H4645,

So that I am ^H1961 a burden ^H4853 to myself?

“Though your beginning ^H7225 was insignificant ^H4705,

Yet your end ^H319 will increase ^H7685 greatly ^H3966.

‘I should have been ^H1961 as though ^H834 I had not been ^H1961,

Brought ^H2986 from womb ^H990 to tomb ^H6913.’

“For you have said ^H559, ‘My teaching ^H3948 is pure ^H2134,

And I am ^H1961 innocent ^H1249 in your eyes ^H5869.’

Then ^H227, indeed ^H3588, you could lift ^H5375 up ^H5375 your face ^H6440 without ^H4480 moral blemish ^H3971,

And you would be firmly ^H3332 established ^H3332 and not fear ^H3372.

“Your [fn]life ^H2465 would [fn]be ^H6965 brighter ^H6965 than ^H4480 noonday ^H6672;

Darkness ^H5774 would be like the morning ^H1242.

“I am ^H1961 a joke ^H7814 to [fn]my friends ^H7453,

The one who called ^H7121 on God ^H433 and He answered ^H6030 him;

The just ^H6662 and blameless ^H8549 man is a joke ^H7814.

“Oh ^H4310 H5414 that ^H4310 H5414 you would be ^H2790 completely ^H2790 silent ^H2790,

And that it would become ^H1961 your wisdom ^H2451!

“Let him not trust ^H539 in emptiness ^H7723, deceiving ^H8582 himself;

For his [fn]reward ^H8545 will be emptiness ^H7723.

“And You have shriveled ^H7059 me up,

[fn]It has become ^H1961 a witness ^H5707;

And my infirmity ^H3585 rises ^H6965 up ^H6965 against me,

It testifies ^H6030 to my face ^H6440.

“I was at ease ^H7961, but He shattered ^H6565 me,

And He has grasped ^H270 me by my neck ^H6203 and shaken ^H6327 me to ^H6327 pieces ^H6327;

He has also set ^H6965 me up ^H6965 as His target ^H4307.

“Earth ^H776, do not cover ^H3680 my blood ^H1818,

And may there be no ^H408 resting place ^H4725 for my cry ^H2201.

“But He has made ^H3322 me a proverb ^H4912 among the people ^H5971,

And I am ^H1961 [fn]one at whom people spit ^H8611.

“His strength ^H202 is famished ^H7457,

And disaster ^H343 is ready ^H3559 at his side ^H6763.

“Those who live ^H1481 in my house ^H1004 and my servant ^H519 women ^H519 consider ^H2803 me a stranger ^H2114.

I am ^H1961 a foreigner ^H5237 in their sight ^H5869.

“When he fills ^H4390 his belly ^H990,

God will send ^H7971 His fierce ^H2740 anger ^H639 on him

And rain ^H4305 it on him [fn]while he is eating ^H3894.

“Listen ^H8085 carefully ^H8085 to my speech ^H4405,

And let this ^H2088 be your way of consolation ^H8575.

“Are they as straw ^H8401 before ^H6440 the wind ^H7307,

And like chaff ^H4671 which the storm ^H5492 carries ^H1589 away ^H1589?

Then [fn]the Almighty ^H7706 will be your [fn]gold ^H1220

And abundant ^H8443 silver ^H3701 to you.

“[fn]Others ^H1992 have been ^H1961 with those who rebel ^H4775 against the light ^H216;

They do not want ^H5234 to ^H5234 know ^H5234 its ways ^H1870

Nor ^H3808 stay ^H3427 in its paths ^H5410.

“May my enemy ^H340 be as the wicked ^H7563,

And [fn]my opponent ^H6965 as the criminal ^H5767.

Just ^H834 as ^H834 I was in the days ^H3117 of my youth ^H2779,

When the protection ^H5526 of God ^H433 was over ^H5921 my tent ^H168;

“I was eyes ^H5869 to those who were blind ^H5787,

And feet ^H7272 to those who [fn]could ^H6455 not ^H6455 walk ^H6455.

“And now ^H6258 I have become ^H1961 their [fn]taunt ^H5058,

And I have become ^H1961 a [fn]byword ^H4405 to them.

“I have become ^H1961 a brother ^H251 to jackals ^H8565,

And a companion ^H7453 of ostriches ^H1323 H3284.

“Therefore my harp ^H3658 [fn]is turned ^H1961 to mourning ^H60,

And my flute ^H5748 to the sound ^H6963 of those who weep ^H1058.

“Where ^H375 were you when I laid ^H3245 the foundation ^H3245 of the earth ^H776?

Tell ^H5046 Me, if ^H518 you [fn]have ^H3045 understanding ^H998,

It came ^H1961 about ^H1961 after ^H310 the LORD ^H3068 had spoken ^H1696 these ^H428 words ^H1697 to Job ^H347, that the LORD ^H3068 said ^H559 to Eliphaz ^H464 the Temanite ^H8489, “My wrath ^H639 is kindled ^H2734 against you and against your two ^H8147 friends ^H7453, because ^H3588 you have not spoken ^H1696 of Me what ^H3559 is ^H3559 trustworthy ^H3559, as My servant ^H5650 Job ^H347 has.
