Hebrews 2:5–9

TEXT EDITION
Pure Cambridge Edition selected
For unto the angels hath he not put in subjection the world to come, whereof we speak.
But one in a certain place testified, saying, What is man, that thou art mindful of him? or the son of man, that thou visitest him?
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:
Thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet. For in that he put all in subjection under him, he left nothing that is not put under him. But now we see not yet all things put under him.
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.

    1BUT 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.

    2Yea, whereto might the strength of their hands profit me, in whom old age was perished?

    3For want and famine they were solitary; fleeing into the wilderness in former time desolate and waste.

    4Who cut up mallows by the bushes, and juniper roots for their meat.

    5They were driven forth from among men, (they cried after them as after a thief;)

    6To dwell in the clifts of the valleys, in caves of the earth, and in the rocks.

    7Among the bushes they brayed; under the nettles they were gathered together.

    8They were children of fools, yea, children of base men: they were viler than the earth.

    9And now am I their song, yea, I am their byword.

    10They abhor me, they flee far from me, and spare not to spit in my face.

    11Because he hath loosed my cord, and afflicted me, they have also let loose the bridle before me.

    12Upon my right hand rise the youth; they push away my feet, and they raise up against me the ways of their destruction.

  18. Job 41:1–34Rank 18 from verse 8

    1CANST thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

    2Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

    3Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

    4Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

    5Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

    6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

    7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

    8Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

    9Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

    10None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

    11Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

    12I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

    13Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

    14Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

    15His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

    16One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

    17They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

    18By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

    19Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

    21His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

    22In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

    23The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

    24His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

    25When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

    26The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

    27He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

    28The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

    29Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

    30Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

    31He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

    32He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

    33Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

    34He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

    2For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he hath no form nor comeliness; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.

    3He is despised and rejected of men; a man of sorrows, and acquainted with grief: and we hid as it were our faces from him; he was despised, and we esteemed him not.

    4¶ Surely he hath borne our griefs, and carried our sorrows: yet we did esteem him stricken, smitten of God, and afflicted.

    5But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed.

    6All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one to his own way; and the Lord hath laid on him the iniquity of us all.

    7He was oppressed, and he was afflicted, yet he opened not his mouth: he is brought as a lamb to the slaughter, and as a sheep before her shearers is dumb, so he openeth not his mouth.

    8He was taken from prison and from judgment: and who shall declare his generation? for he was cut off out of the land of the living: for the transgression of my people was he stricken.

    9And he made his grave with the wicked, and with the rich in his death; because he had done no violence, neither was any deceit in his mouth.

    10¶ Yet it pleased the Lord to bruise him; he hath put him to grief: when thou shalt make his soul an offering for sin, he shall see his seed, he shall prolong his days, and the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in his hand.
