Job 5:27

Douay-Rheims version of The Bible - 1752 version

Behold, this is even so, as we have searched out. Which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind.

See the chapter Copy

His seed shall be mighty upon earth: the generation of the righteous shall be blessed.

If thou be wise, thou shalt be so to thyself: and if a scorner, thou alone shalt bear the evil.

And keep the commandments of the Lord, and his ceremonies, which I command thee this day, that it may be well with thee?

Can man be compared with God, even though he were of perfect knowledge?

I will shew thee. Hear me, and I will tell thee what I have seen.

Are you then men alone; and shall wisdom die with you?

Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season.

But Job answered, and said:

Behold, my eye hath seen all these things, and my ear hath heard them: and I have understood them all.
