Job: Chapter 16 (asv) - Online Bible

Job 16
- 1 Then Job answered and said,
- 2 I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are ye all.
- 3 Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
- 4 I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you.
- 5 But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
- 6 Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased?
- 7 But now he hath made me weary: Thou hast made desolate all my company.
- 8 And thou hast laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me: And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face.
- 9 He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
- 10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully: They gather themselves together against me.
- 11 God delivereth me to the ungodly, And casteth me into the hands of the wicked.
- 12 I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: He hath also set me up for his mark.
- 13 His archers compass me round about; He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.
- 14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach; He runneth upon me like a giant.
- 15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, And have laid my horn in the dust.
- 16 My face is red with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
- 17 Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.
- 18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, And let my cry have noresting-place.
- 19 Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And he that voucheth for me is on high.
- 20 My friends scoff at me: But mine eye poureth out tears unto God,
- 21 That he would maintain the right of a man with God, And of a son of man with his neighbor!
- 22 For when a few years are come, I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

World English Bible (web)
American Standard Version (asv - 2)

The American Standard Version (ASV) of the Holy Bible is in the Public Domain. Please feel free to copy it, give it away, memorize it, publish it, sell it, or whatever God leads you to do with it.

The American Standard Version of 1901 is an Americanization of the English Revised Bible, which is an update of the KJV to less archaic spelling and greater accuracy of translation. It has been called "The Rock of Biblical Honesty." It is the product of the work of over 50 Evangelical Christian scholars.

While the ASV retains many archaic word forms, it is still more understandable to the modern reader than the KJV in many passages. The ASV also forms the basis for several modern English translations, including the World English Bible (http://www.eBible.org/bible/WEB), which is also in the Public Domain. The ASV uses "Jehovah" for Godߴs proper name. While the current consensus is that this Holy Name was more likely pronounced "Yahweh," it is refreshing to see this rendition instead of the overloading of the word "Lord" that the KJV, NASB, and many others do.

Pronouns referring to God are not capitalized in the ASV, as they are not in the NIV and some others, breaking the tradition of the KJV. Since Hebrew has no such thing as tense, and the oldest Greek manuscripts are all upper case, anyway, this tradition was based only on English usage around 1600, anyway. Not capitalizing these pronouns solves some translational problems, such as the coronation psalms, which refer equally well to an earthly king and to God.
