CallH7121 now, if there beH3426 any that will answerH6030 thee; and to which of the saintsH6918 wilt thou turnH6437? {turn: or, look?}
For wrathH3708 killethH2026 the foolish manH191, and envyH7068 slayethH4191 the silly oneH6601. {envy: or, indignation}
I have seenH7200 the foolishH191 taking rootH8327: but suddenlyH6597 I cursedH5344 his habitationH5116.
His childrenH1121 are farH7368 from safetyH3468, and they are crushedH1792 in the gateH8179, neither is there any to deliverH5337 them.
Whose harvestH7105 the hungryH7457 eateth upH398, and takethH3947 it even outH413 of the thornsH6791, and the robberH6782 swalloweth upH7602 their substanceH2428.
Although afflictionH205 cometh not forthH3318 of the dustH6083, neither doth troubleH5999 spring outH6779 of the groundH127; {affliction: or, iniquity}
Yet manH120 is bornH3205 unto troubleH5999, as the sparksH1121+H7565 flyH5774 upwardH1361. {trouble: or, labour} {sparks…: Heb. the sons of the burning coal lift up to fly}
I would seekH199+H1875 unto GodH410, and unto GodH430 would I commitH7760 my causeH1700:
Which doethH6213 great thingsH1419 and unsearchableH369+H2714; marvellous thingsH6381 without numberH4557: {unsearchable: Heb. there is no search} {without…: Heb. till there be no number}
Who givethH5414 rainH4306 uponH6440 the earthH776, and sendethH7971 watersH4325 uponH6440 the fieldsH2351: {fields: Heb. outplaces}
To set upH7760 on highH4791 those that be lowH8217; that those which mournH6937 may be exaltedH7682 to safetyH3468.
He disappointethH6565 the devicesH4284 of the craftyH6175, so that their handsH3027 cannot performH6213 their enterpriseH8454. {their enterprise: or, any thing}
He takethH3920 the wiseH2450 in their own craftinessH6193: and the counselH6098 of the frowardH6617 is carried headlongH4116.
They meetH6298 with darknessH2822 in the daytimeH3119, and gropeH4959 in the noondayH6672 as in the nightH3915. {meet…: or, run into}
But he savethH3467 the poorH34 from the swordH2719, from their mouthH6310, and from the handH3027 of the mightyH2389.
So the poorH1800 hath hopeH8615, and iniquityH5766 stoppethH7092 her mouthH6310.
Behold, happyH835 is the manH582 whom GodH433 correctethH3198: therefore despiseH3988 not thou the chasteningH4148 of the AlmightyH7706:
For he maketh soreH3510, and bindeth upH2280: he woundethH4272, and his handsH3027 make wholeH7495.
He shall deliverH5337 thee in sixH8337 troublesH6869: yea, in sevenH7651 there shall no evilH7451 touchH5060 thee.
In famineH7458 he shall redeemH6299 thee from deathH4194: and in warH4421 from the powerH3027 of the swordH2719. {power: Heb. hands}
Thou shalt be hidH2244 from the scourgeH7752 of the tongueH3956: neither shalt thou be afraidH3372 of destructionH7701 when it comethH935. {from…: or, when the tongue scourgeth}
At destructionH7701 and famineH3720 thou shalt laughH7832: neither shalt thou be afraidH3372 of the beastsH2416 of the earthH776.
For thou shalt be in leagueH1285 with the stonesH68 of the fieldH7704: and the beastsH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall be at peaceH7999 with thee.
And thou shalt knowH3045 that thy tabernacleH168 shall be in peaceH7965; and thou shalt visitH6485 thy habitationH5116, and shalt not sinH2398. {thy tabernacle…: or, peace is thy tabernacle} {sin: or, err}
Thou shalt knowH3045 also that thy seedH2233 shall be greatH7227, and thine offspringH6631 as the grassH6212 of the earthH776. {great: or, much}
Thou shalt comeH935 to thy graveH6913 in a full ageH3624, like as a shock of cornH1430 cometh inH5927 in his seasonH6256. {cometh in: Heb. ascendeth}
Lo this, we have searchedH2713 it, so it is; hearH8085 it, and knowH3045 thou it for thy good. {for…: Heb. for thyself}

For enquireH7592, I pray thee, of the formerH7223+H7223 ageH1755, and prepareH3559 thyself to the searchH2714 of their fathersH1:
(For we are but of yesterdayH8543, and knowH3045 nothing, because our daysH3117 upon earthH776 are a shadowH6738:) {nothing: Heb. not}
Shall not they teachH3384 thee, and tellH559 thee, and utterH3318 wordsH4405 out of their heartH3820?
Can a manH1397 be profitableH5532 unto GodH410, asH3588 he that is wiseH7919 may be profitableH5532 unto himself? {as he…: or, if he may be profitable, doth his good success depend thereon?}
To keepH8104 the commandmentsH4687 of the LORDH3068, and his statutesH2708, which I commandH6680 thee this dayH3117 for thy goodH2896?
If thou be wiseH2449, thou shalt be wiseH2449 for thyself: but if thou scornestH3887, thou alone shalt bearH5375 it.
With us are both the grayheadedH7867 and very agedH3453 men, muchH3524 elderH3117 than thy fatherH1.
Behold, I waitedH3176 for your wordsH1697; I gave earH238 to your reasonsH8394, whilst ye searched outH2713 what to sayH4405. {reasons: Heb. understandings} {what…: Heb. words}
Yea, I attendedH995 unto you, and, behold, there was none of you that convincedH3198 JobH347, or that answeredH6030 his wordsH561:
The worksH4639 of the LORDH3068 are greatH1419, sought outH1875 of all them that have pleasureH2656 therein.
Yea, if thou criestH7121 after knowledgeH998, and liftest upH5414 thy voiceH6963 for understandingH8394; {liftest…: Heb. givest thy voice}
If thou seekestH1245 her as silverH3701, and searchestH2664 for her as for hid treasuresH4301;
Then shalt thou understandH995 the fearH3374 of the LORDH3068, and findH4672 the knowledgeH1847 of GodH430.
