But JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
Oh thatH3863 my griefH3708 were throughlyH8254 weighedH8254, and my calamityH1942+H1962 laidH5375 in the balancesH3976 togetherH3162! {laid: Heb. lifted up}
For now it would be heavierH3513 than the sandH2344 of the seaH3220: therefore my wordsH1697 are swallowed upH3886. {my words…: that is, I want words to express my grief}
For the arrowsH2671 of the AlmightyH7706 are withinH5978 me, the poisonH2534 whereof drinketh upH8354 my spiritH7307: the terrorsH1161 of GodH433 do set themselves in arrayH6186 against me.
Doth the wild assH6501 brayH5101 when he hath grassH1877? or lowethH1600 the oxH7794 over his fodderH1098? {when he…: Heb. at grass?}
Can that which is unsavouryH8602 be eatenH398 without saltH4417? or is thereH3426 any tasteH2940 in the whiteH7388 of an eggH2495?
The things that my soulH5315 refusedH3985 to touchH5060 are as my sorrowfulH1741 meatH3899.
Oh that I might haveH935 my requestH7596; and that GodH433 would grantH5414 me the thing that I long forH8615! {the thing…: Heb. my expectation}
Even that it would pleaseH2974 GodH433 to destroyH1792 me; that he would let looseH5425 his handH3027, and cut me offH1214!
Then should I yet have comfortH5165; yea, I would hardenH5539 myself in sorrowH2427: let him not spareH2550; for I have not concealedH3582 the wordsH561 of the Holy OneH6918.
What is my strengthH3581, that I should hopeH3176? and what is mine endH7093, that I should prolongH748 my lifeH5315?
Is my strengthH3581 the strengthH3581 of stonesH68? or is my fleshH1320 of brassH5153? {of brass: Heb. brasen?}
Is not my helpH5833 in me? and is wisdomH8454 driven quiteH5080 from me?
To him that is afflictedH4523 pityH2617 should be shewed from his friendH7453; but he forsakethH5800 the fearH3374 of the AlmightyH7706. {is afflicted: Heb. melteth}
My brethrenH251 have dealt deceitfullyH898 as a brookH5158, and as the streamH650 of brooksH5158 they pass awayH5674;
Which are blackishH6937 by reason of the iceH7140, and wherein the snowH7950 is hidH5956:
What timeH6256 they wax warmH2215, they vanishH6789: when it is hotH2527, they are consumed outH1846 of their placeH4725. {vanish: Heb. are cut off} {when…: Heb. in the heat thereof} {consumed: Heb. extinguished}
The pathsH734 of their wayH1870 are turned asideH3943; they goH5927 to nothingH8414, and perishH6.
The troopsH734 of TemaH8485 lookedH5027, the companiesH1979 of ShebaH7614 waitedH6960 for them.
They were confoundedH954 because they had hopedH982; they cameH935 thither, and were ashamedH2659.
For now ye are nothing; ye seeH7200 my casting downH2866, and are afraidH3372. {ye are…: or, ye are like to them: Heb. to it} {nothing: Heb. not}
Did I sayH559, BringH3051 unto me? or, Give a rewardH7809 for me of your substanceH3581?
Or, DeliverH4422 me from the enemy'sH6862 handH3027? or, RedeemH6299 me from the handH3027 of the mightyH6184?
TeachH3384 me, and I will hold my tongueH2790: and cause me to understandH995 wherein I have erredH7686.
How forcibleH4834 are rightH3476 wordsH561! but what doth your arguingH3198 reproveH3198?
Do ye imagineH2803 to reproveH3198 wordsH4405, and the speechesH561 of one that is desperateH2976, which are as windH7307?
Yea, ye overwhelmH5307 the fatherlessH3490, and ye digH3738 a pit for your friendH7453. {ye overwhelm: Heb. ye cause to fall upon}
Now therefore be contentH2974, lookH6437 upon me; for it is evidentH6440 unto you if I lieH3576. {evident…: Heb. before your face}
ReturnH7725, I pray you, let it not be iniquityH5766; yea, return againH7725, my righteousnessH6664 is in it. {in it: that is, in this matter}
Is thereH3426 iniquityH5766 in my tongueH3956? cannot my tasteH2441 discernH995 perverse thingsH1942? {my taste: Heb. my palate}

He is wiseH2450 in heartH3824, and mightyH533 in strengthH3581: who hath hardenedH7185 himself against him, and hath prosperedH7999?
The LORDH3068 willH14 not spareH5545 him, but then the angerH639 of the LORDH3068 and his jealousyH7068 shall smokeH6225 against that manH376, and all the cursesH423 that are writtenH3789 in this bookH5612 shall lieH7257 upon him, and the LORDH3068 shall blot outH4229 his nameH8034 from under heavenH8064.
Neither have I gone backH4185 from the commandmentH4687 of his lipsH8193; I have esteemedH6845 the wordsH561 of his mouthH6310 more than my necessaryH2706 food. {esteemed: Heb. hid, or, laid up} {my…: or, my appointed portion}

The clodsH7263 of the valleyH5158 shall be sweetH4985 unto him, and every manH120 shall drawH4900 afterH310 him, as there are innumerableH4557 beforeH6440 him.

The mouthH6310 of the righteousH6662 speakethH1897 wisdomH2451, and his tongueH3956 talkethH1696 of judgmentH4941.
There is none holyH6918 as the LORDH3068: for there is none besideH1115 thee: neither is there any rockH6697 like our GodH430.
ForG1063 ifG1487 GodG2316 sparedG5339 notG3756 the angelsG32 that sinnedG264, butG235 cast them down to hellG5020, and deliveredG3860 them into chainsG4577 of darknessG2217, to be reservedG5083 untoG1519 judgmentG2920;
I have preachedH1319 righteousnessH6664 in the greatH7227 congregationH6951: lo, I have not refrainedH3607 my lipsH8193, O LORDH3068, thou knowestH3045.
Get you outH5493 of the wayH1870, turn asideH5186 out of the pathH734, cause the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478 to ceaseH7673 from beforeH6440 us.
AndG2532 sparedG5339 notG3756 the oldG744 worldG2889, butG235 savedG5442 NoahG3575 the eighthG3590 person, a preacherG2783 of righteousnessG1343, bringing inG1863 the floodG2627 upon the worldG2889 of the ungodlyG765;
I have not hidH3680 thy righteousnessH6666 withinH8432 my heartH3820; I have declaredH559 thy faithfulnessH530 and thy salvationH8668: I have not concealedH3582 thy lovingkindnessH2617 and thy truthH571 from the greatH7227 congregationH6951.
Wherefore thus saithH559 the Holy OneH6918 of IsraelH3478, Because ye despiseH3988 this wordH1697, and trustH982 in oppressionH6233 and perversenessH3868, and stayH8172 thereon: {oppression: or, fraud}
O GodH430, thou hast taughtH3925 me from my youthH5271: and hitherto have I declaredH5046 thy wondrous worksH6381.
For thus saithH559 the highH7311 and lofty OneH5375 that inhabitethH7931 eternityH5703, whose nameH8034 is HolyH6918; I dwellH7931 in the highH4791 and holyH6918 place, with him also that is of a contriteH1793 and humbleH8217 spiritH7307, to reviveH2421 the spiritH7307 of the humbleH8217, and to reviveH2421 the heartH3820 of the contrite onesH1792.
Now also whenH5704 I am oldH2209 and grayheadedH7872, O GodH430, forsakeH5800 me not; until I have shewedH5046 thy strengthH2220 unto this generationH1755, and thy powerH1369 to every one that is to comeH935. {when…: Heb. unto old age and gray hairs} {thy strength: Heb. thine arm}
