אֱנוֹשׁ

The men of Michmas, an hundred and twenty and two.

The men of Bethel and Ai, an hundred twenty and three.

The men of the other Nebo, fifty and two.

And he read therein before the street that was before the water gate from the morning until midday, before the men and the women, and those that could understand; and the ears of all the people were attentive unto the book of the law.

And the people blessed all the men, that willingly offered themselves to dwell at Jerusalem.

All the sons of Perez that dwelt at Jerusalem were four hundred threescore and eight valiant men.

And at that time were some appointed over the chambers for the treasures, for the offerings, for the firstfruits, and for the tithes, to gather into them out of the fields of the cities the portions of the law for the priests and Levites: for Judah rejoiced for the priests and for the Levites that waited.

And I contended with them, and cursed them, and smote certain of them, and plucked off their hair, and made them swear by God, saying, Ye shall not give your daughters unto their sons, nor take their daughters unto your sons, or for yourselves.

In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falleth on men,

Shall mortal man be more just than God? shall a man be more pure than his maker?

Behold, happy is the man whom God correcteth: therefore despise not thou the chastening of the Almighty:

Is there not an appointed time to man upon earth? are not his days also like the days of an hireling?

What is man, that thou shouldest magnify him? and that thou shouldest set thine heart upon him?

I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

Hast thou eyes of flesh? or seest thou as man seeth?

Are thy days as the days of man? are thy years as man's days,

Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?

The waters wear the stones: thou washest away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and thou destroyest the hope of man.

What is man, that he should be clean? and he which is born of a woman, that he should be righteous?

How then can man be justified with God? or how can he be clean that is born of a woman?

How much less man, that is a worm? and the son of man, which is a worm?

The flood breaketh out from the inhabitant; even the waters forgotten of the foot: they are dried up, they are gone away from men.

Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.

So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he was righteous in his own eyes.
