Now his sons were wont to go, and make a banquet, at the house of each one upon his day, - and to send and call their three sisters, to eat and to drink with them.

Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.

But put forth thine hand now, and touch all that he hath, and he will curse thee to thy face.

Now the day came when Job's sons and daughters were eating and drinking wine in their oldest brother's house,

and said, "Naked came I out of my mother's womb, and naked shall I turn thither again. The LORD gave, and the LORD hath taken away; now blessed be the name of the LORD."

But put forth thine hand now, and touch his bone and his flesh, and he will curse thee to thy face.

Now when Job's three friends heard of all this evil that was come upon him, they came every one from his own place; Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite: for they had made an appointment together to come to mourn with him and to comfort him.

For now should I have lain still and been quiet, I should have slept: then had I been at rest,

With kings and counselors of the earth,
Who built up [now desolate] ruins for themselves;

Was I not happy? Had I not quietness? Was I not in rest? And now cometh such misery upon me!"

But now it is come upon thee, and thou faintest; it toucheth thee, and thou art troubled.

Where is now thy fear of God, thy steadfastness, thy patience, and the perfectness of thy ways?

"{Think} now, who has perished [who is] innocent? Or where [are] the upright destroyed?

Now a thing was secretly brought to me, and mine ear received a little thereof.

Call now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?

Now his children have no safe place, and they are crushed before the judges, for no one takes up their cause.

"Now as for me, I would seek God if I were you; I would commit my case to God.

For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea: therefore my words are swallowed up.

The things that sometime I might not away withal, are now my meat for very sorrow.

For now ye are nothing; ye see my casting down, and are afraid.

Now therefore be content, look upon me; for it is evident unto you if I lie.

“Desist now, let there be no injustice;
Even desist, my righteousness is yet in it.

The eye of him who sees me now will see me no more; your eyes will look for me, but I will be gone.

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I shall not be.

If thou wouldest now resort unto God betimes, and make thy humble prayer to the Almighty;

If thou wert pure and upright; surely now he would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.

Insomuch, that wherein soever thou hadst little afore, thou shouldest now have great abundance.

Put the question now to the past generations, and give attention to what has been searched out by their fathers:

The earth was given into the hand of the unjust one: he will cover the faces of her judges; if not now, who is it?

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

It grieveth my soul to live. Nevertheless, now will I put forth my words: I will speak out of the very heaviness of my soul,

“Your hands shaped me and formed me.
Will You now turn and destroy me?

Please remember that You formed me like clay.
Will You now return me to dust?

If they had carried me to my grave as soon as I was born, then should I be now, as though I had never been.

"Now for you, if you will prepare your heart, spread out your hands to him.

For, now, shalt thou forget, sorrow, Like waters passed away, shalt thou remember it.

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee; and the fowls of the air, and they shall tell thee:

Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

"Hold your tongues now, and let me speak, for there is something come into my mind.

Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.

“For You write bitter things against me [in Your indictment]
And make me inherit and suffer for the iniquities of my youth.

For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?

But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.

Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?

Now as for the one who testifies against his friends to take their property, even the eyes of his children will fail.

But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.

And where is now my hope? as for my hope, who shall see it?

But come back, now, come: you who are wounding yourself in your passion, will the earth be given up because of you, or a rock be moved out of its place?

Other men shall dwell in his house - which now is none of his - and brimstone shall be scattered upon his habitation.

Such are now the dwellings of the wicked, and this is the place of him that knoweth not God."

You have humiliated me ten times now,
and you mistreat me without shame.

Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.

He is breaking me down on every side, and now it's too late for me; he has uprooted my hopes like a tree.

Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!

So that the eye which saw him before, getteth now no sight of him, and his place knoweth him no more.

From his youth his bones are full of vice; but now shall it lie down with him in the earth.

One dieth now when he is mighty and at his best, rich and in prosperity;

Now sleep they both alike in the earth, and the worms cover them.

For you say, “Where now is the nobleman’s house?”
and “Where are the tents the wicked lived in?”

“That evil men are [now] reserved for the day of disaster and destruction,
They will be led away on the day of [God’s] wrath?

Now because that God is higher than the heavens, and because thou seest the stars are so high,

Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

Take now the law from his mouth, and set his words in thy heart

And if it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

This is now a short sum of his doings. But who is able sufficiently to rehearse his works? Who can perceive and understand the thunder of his power?"

"O that I could be as I was in the months now gone, in the days when God watched over me,

But now they that are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I would have disdained to have set with the dogs of my flock.

And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

And now my soul is poured out upon me; the days of affliction have taken hold upon me.

You changed toward me, and now you're cruel to me; with your mighty hand you are persecuting me;

In times past thou didst set me up on high, as it were above the wind, but now hast thou given me a very sore fall.

Now use not men to do violence unto them, that are destroyed already; but where hurt is done, there use they to help.

But now I am a companion of dragons, and a fellow of ostriches.

Now Elihu had waited till Job had spoken, because they were elder than he.

Now I was paying you close attention, yet there was no one proving Job wrong, not one of you was answering his statements!

Now he hath not directed his words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches.

Should I continue to wait now that they are silent,
now that they stand there and no longer answer?

“Let me now be partial to no one,
Nor flatter any man.

"But now, please hear my speeches, Job, and hear all my words.

Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.

“Answer me, if you can;
Set yourselves before me, take your stand.

"Now hast thou spoken in mine ears, and I have heard the voice of thy words:

Now in this, you are not right -- I answer you, for God is greater than a human being.

His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen now stick out.

If now there may be an angel sent to him, one of the thousands which there are to be between him and God, and to make clear to man what is right for him;

Now this is Job's claim: "Even though I'm innocent, God has stopped treating me righteously.

Now then, you wise, take note; you men of knowledge, give ear to me. Let it be far from God to do evil, and from the Ruler of all to do wrong.

If now thou hast understanding, hear this: hearken to the voice of my words.

Insomuch that they have caused the voice of the poor to come unto him, and now he heareth the complaint of such as are in necessity.

But now, because it is not so, he hath visited in his anger; yet he knoweth it not in great extremity:

If they now will take heed and be obedient, they shall wear out their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasure and joy.

Yet now you are obsessed with the judgment due the wicked;
judgment and justice have seized you.

"Now I'll conclude with this: my heart is trembling violently; it feels like it's about to leap from my body!

“God seals (brings to a standstill, stops) [by severe weather] the hand of every man,
That all men [whom He has made] may know His work [that is, His sovereign power and their subjection to it].

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

Hast thou also perceived how broad the earth is? Now if thou hast knowledge of all,

I have spoken once, and I will not reply;
twice, but now I can add nothing.
