Lexicon :: Strong's H347 - 'îyôḇ

[fn]There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job; and that man was blameless and upright, and one who feared God [with reverence] and abstained from and turned away from evil [because he honored God].

Then Job got up and tore his robe and shaved his head [in mourning for the children], and he fell to the ground and worshiped [God].

Through all this Job did not sin nor did he blame God.

So Satan departed from the presence of the LORD and struck Job with loathsome boils and agonizingly painful sores from the sole of his foot to the crown of his head.

After this, Job opened his mouth and cursed the day of his birth.

Then Job answered and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then Job responded,

Then Job answered and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then Job answered and said,

Then Job answered and said,

But Job answered and said,

Job continued his discourse and said,

And Job again took up his discussion and said,

Let thorns grow instead of wheat,

And stinkweed and cockleburs instead of barley.”

So the words of Job [with his friends] are finished.

So these three men ceased answering Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes [and could not be persuaded otherwise by them].

“I even paid close attention to [what] you [said],

Indeed, not one of you convinced Job [nor could you refute him],

Not one of you supplied [satisfactory] answers to his words.

“However, Job, please listen to my words,

And pay attention to everything I say.

“Pay attention, Job, listen to me;

Keep silent, and I will speak.

“For Job has said, ‘I am righteous [and innocent],

But God has taken away my right;

“What man is like Job,

Who drinks up derision like water,

‘Job speaks without knowledge,

And his words are without wisdom and insight.

Job uselessly opens his mouth

And multiplies words without knowledge [drawing the worthless conclusion that the righteous have no more advantage than the wicked].”

“Listen to this, Job;

Stand still and consider the wonders of God.

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said,

Then the LORD said to Job,

Then Job replied to the LORD and said,

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, saying,

Then Job answered the LORD and said,

It came about that after the LORD had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, for you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.
