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}

My brethrenH251 have dealt deceitfullyH898 as a brookH5158, and as the streamH650 of brooksH5158 they pass awayH5674;
Now when Job'sH347 threeH7969 friendsH7453 heardH8085 of all this evilH7451 that was comeH935 upon him, they cameH935 every oneH376 from his own placeH4725; EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489, and BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747, and ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284: for they had made an appointmentH3259 togetherH3162 to comeH935 to mournH5110 with him and to comfortH5162 him.
And when they lifted upH5375 their eyesH5869 afar offH7350, and knewH5234 him not, they lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963, and weptH1058; and they rentH7167 every oneH376 his mantleH4598, and sprinkledH2236 dustH6083 upon their headsH7218 toward heavenH8064.
So they sat downH3427 with him upon the groundH776 sevenH7651 daysH3117 and sevenH7651 nightsH3915, and none spakeH1696 a wordH1697 unto him: for they sawH7200 that his griefH3511 was veryH3966 greatH1431.
My loversH157 and my friendsH7453 standH5975 aloof fromH5048 my soreH5061; and my kinsmenH7138 standH5975 afar offH7350. {sore: Heb. stroke} {my kinsmen: or, my neighbours}
Surely menH120+H1121 of low degree are vanityH1892, and menH376 of high degree are a lieH3577: to be laidH5927 in the balanceH3976, they are altogetherH3162 lighter than vanityH1892. {altogether: or, alike}
All the brethrenH251 of the poorH7326 do hateH8130 him: how much more do his friendsH4828 go farH7368 from him? he pursuethH7291 them with wordsH561, yet they are wanting to him.
CeaseH2308 ye from manH120, whose breathH5397 is in his nostrilsH639: for wherein is he to be accounted ofH2803?
We would have healedH7495 BabylonH894, but she is not healedH7495: forsakeH5800 her, and let us goH3212 every oneH376 into his own countryH776: for her judgmentH4941 reachethH5060 unto heavenH8064, and is lifted upH5375 even to the skiesH7834.
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068; CursedH779 be the manH1397 that trustethH982 in manH120, and makethH7760 fleshH1320 his armH2220, and whose heartH3820 departethH5493 from the LORDH3068.
ThenG5119 saithG3004 JesusG2424 unto themG846, AllG3956 yeG5210 shall be offendedG4624 becauseG1722 of meG1722+G1698 thisG5026 nightG3571: forG1063 it is writtenG1125, I will smiteG3960 the shepherdG4166, andG2532 the sheepG4263 of the flockG4167 shall be scattered abroadG1287.
For he shall be like the heathH6199 in the desertH6160, and shall not seeH7200 when goodH2896 comethH935; but shall inhabitH7931 the parched placesH2788 in the wildernessH4057, in a saltH4420 landH776 and not inhabitedH3427.
ButG1161 allG3650 thisG5124 was doneG1096, thatG2443 the scripturesG1124 of the prophetsG4396 might be fulfilledG4137. ThenG5119 allG3956 the disciplesG3101 forsookG863 himG846, and fledG5343.
AtG1722 myG3450 firstG4413 answerG627 no manG3762 stoodG4836 with meG3427, butG235 allG3956 men forsookG1459 meG3165: I pray God that it mayG3049 notG3361 be laidG3049 to their chargeG846.
AndG2532 the kingsG935 of the earthG1093, whoG3588 have committed fornicationG4203 andG2532 lived deliciouslyG4763 withG3326 herG846, shall bewailG2799 herG846, andG2532 lamentG2875 forG1909 herG846, whenG3752 they shall seeG991 the smokeG2586 of herG846 burningG4451,
StandingG2476 afarG3113 offG575 forG1223 the fearG5401 of herG846 tormentG929, sayingG3004, AlasG3759, alasG3759, that greatG3173 cityG4172 BabylonG897, that mightyG2478 cityG4172! forG3754 inG1722 oneG3391 hourG5610 isG2064 thyG4675 judgmentG2920 comeG2064.
