And on that same day men were appointed over the rooms that housed the supplies, contributions, firstfruits, and
tithes. The portions specified by the Law for the priests and Levites were gathered into these storerooms from the fields of the villages, because

treading winepresses on the sabbath, and bringing in
sheaves, and
lading asses; as also wine, grapes, and figs, and all manner of burdens, which they brought into Jerusalem on the sabbath day: and I
testified against them in the day wherein they sold
victuals.
In those days I saw people in
Judah treading winepresses on the Sabbath and bringing in grain and loading it on
donkeys, along with wine, grapes, and figs. All kinds of goods were being brought into Jerusalem on the Sabbath day. So I
warned them against selling food on that day.
There dwelt men of Tyre also therein, which brought fish, and all manner of ware, and sold on the sabbath unto the children of Judah, and in Jerusalem.
Additionally, men of Tyre who lived there were importing fish and all kinds of
merchandise and selling them on the Sabbath to the people of
Judah in Jerusalem.
Then I
contended with the nobles of
Judah, and said unto them, What evil thing is this that ye do, and

Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make
supplication to my
judge.
For even if I were right, I could not answer. I could only
beg my
Judge for mercy.
If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of
judgment, who shall set me a time to
plead?
If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can
summon Him?
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.
He leadeth counsellors away
spoiled, and maketh the
judges fools.
He leads counselors away
barefoot and makes fools of
judges.
And
dost thou open thine eyes upon such an one, and bringest me into
judgment with thee?
Do You open Your eyes to one like this? Will You bring him into judgment before You?
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry
aloud, but there is no
judgment.
Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no
response; though I call for help, there is no justice.
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
then you should fear the sword
yourselves, because wrath brings punishment by the sword, so that you may know there is a
judgment.”
Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
Can
anyone teach knowledge to God, since He
judges those on high?
Will he reprove thee for fear of thee? will he enter with thee into judgment?
Is it for your reverence that He rebukes you and enters into judgment against you?
And thou sayest, How
doth God know? can he
judge through the dark cloud?
Yet you say: ‘What does God know? Does He judge through thick darkness?
There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.
Then an upright man could reason with Him, and I would be delivered
forever from my
Judge.
Why, seeing times are not hidden from the
Almighty, do they that know him not see his days?
“Why does the
Almighty not reserve times for
judgment? Why may those who know Him never see His days?
As God liveth, who hath taken away my
judgment; and the
Almighty, who hath
vexed my soul;
“As surely as God lives, who has deprived me of justice— the
Almighty, who has embittered my soul—
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me: my
judgment was as a
robe and a
diadem.
I put on righteousness, and it clothed me; justice was my
robe and my
turban.
For this is an
heinous crime;
yea, it is an iniquity to be punished by the
judges.
For that would be a
heinous crime, an iniquity to be
judged.
What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?
what will I do when God rises to judge? How will I answer when called to account?
This also were an iniquity to be punished by the judge: for I should have denied the God that is above.
this would also be an iniquity to be judged, for I would have denied God on high.
Great men are not always wise: neither do the aged understand judgment.
It is not only the old who are wise, or the elderly who understand justice.
Let us choose to us judgment: let us know among ourselves what is good.
Let us choose for ourselves what is right; let us learn together what is good.
For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.
For Job has declared, ‘I am righteous, yet God has deprived me of justice.
Indeed, it is true that God does not act wickedly, and the
Almighty does not
pervert justice.
For he will not lay upon man more than right; that he should enter into judgment with God.
For God need not examine a man further or have him approach for judgment.
Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, yet judgment is before him; therefore trust thou in him.
How much less, then, when you say that you do not see Him, that your case is before Him and you must wait for Him,
But thou hast fulfilled the judgment of the wicked: judgment and justice take hold on thee.
But now you are
laden with the
judgment due the wicked;
judgment and justice have seized you.
