Then JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
I knowH3045 it is so of a truthH551: but how should manH582 be justH6663 with GodH410? {with God: or, before God?}
If he willH2654 contendH7378 with him, he cannot answerH6030 him oneH259 of a thousandH505.
He is wiseH2450 in heartH3824, and mightyH533 in strengthH3581: who hath hardenedH7185 himself against him, and hath prosperedH7999?
Which removethH6275 the mountainsH2022, and they knowH3045 not: which overturnethH2015 them in his angerH639.
Which shakethH7264 the earthH776 out of her placeH4725, and the pillarsH5982 thereof trembleH6426.
Which commandethH559 the sunH2775, and it risethH2224 not; and sealeth upH2856 the starsH3556.
Which alone spreadeth outH5186 the heavensH8064, and treadethH1869 upon the wavesH1116 of the seaH3220. {waves: Heb. heights}
Which makethH6213 ArcturusH5906, OrionH3685, and PleiadesH3598, and the chambersH2315 of the southH8486. {Arcturus…: Heb. Ash, Cesil, and Cimah}
Which doethH6213 great thingsH1419 pastH369 finding outH2714; yea, and wondersH6381 without numberH4557.
Lo, he goethH5674 by me, and I seeH7200 him not: he passeth onH2498 also, but I perceiveH995 him not.
Behold, he taketh awayH2862, who can hinderH7725 him? who will sayH559 unto him, What doestH6213 thou? {hinder…: Heb. turn him away?}
If GodH433 will not withdrawH7725 his angerH639, the proudH7293 helpersH5826 do stoopH7817 under him. {proud…: Heb. helpers of pride, or, strength}
How much less shall I answerH6030 him, and choose outH977 my wordsH1697 to reason with him?
Whom, though I were righteousH6663, yet would I not answerH6030, but I would make supplicationH2603 to my judgeH8199.
If I had calledH7121, and he had answeredH6030 me; yet would I not believeH539 that he had hearkenedH238 unto my voiceH6963.
For he breakethH7779 me with a tempestH8183, and multipliethH7235 my woundsH6482 without causeH2600.
He will not sufferH5414 me to takeH7725 my breathH7307, but fillethH7646 me with bitternessH4472.
If I speak of strengthH3581, lo, he is strongH533: and if of judgmentH4941, who shall setH3259 me a time to plead?
If I justifyH6663 myself, mine own mouthH6310 shall condemnH7561 me: if I say, I am perfectH8535, it shall also prove me perverseH6140.
Though I were perfectH8535, yet would I not knowH3045 my soulH5315: I would despiseH3988 my lifeH2416.
This is oneH259 thing, therefore I saidH559 it, He destroyethH3615 the perfectH8535 and the wickedH7563.
If the scourgeH7752 slayH4191 suddenlyH6597, he will laughH3932 at the trialH4531 of the innocentH5355.
The earthH776 is givenH5414 into the handH3027 of the wickedH7563: he coverethH3680 the facesH6440 of the judgesH8199 thereof; if not, whereH645, and who is he?
Now my daysH3117 are swifterH7043 than a postH7323: they flee awayH1272, they seeH7200 no goodH2896.
They are passed awayH2498 asH5973 the swiftH16 shipsH591: as the eagleH5404 that hastethH2907 to the preyH400. {swift…: or, ships of Ebeh: Heb. ships of desire}
If I sayH559, I will forgetH7911 my complaintH7879, I will leave offH5800 my heavinessH6440, and comfortH1082 myself:
I am afraidH3025 of all my sorrowsH6094, I knowH3045 that thou wilt not hold me innocentH5352.
If I be wickedH7561, why then labourH3021 I in vainH1892?
If I washH7364 myself withH7950 snow waterH4325+H1119, and make my handsH3709 neverH1252+H1253 so cleanH2141;
YetH227 shalt thou plungeH2881 me in the ditchH7845, and mine own clothesH8008 shall abhorH8581 me. {abhor…: or, make me to be abhorred}
For he is not a manH376, as I am, that I should answerH6030 him, and we should comeH935 togetherH3162 in judgmentH4941.
Neither isH3426 there any daysmanH3198 betwixt us, that might layH7896 his handH3027 upon us bothH8147. {any…: Heb. one that should argue} {daysman: or, umpire}
Let him takeH5493 his rodH7626 awayH5493 from me, and let not his fearH367 terrifyH1204 me:
Then would I speakH1696, and not fearH3372 him; but it is not so with me. {it is…: Heb. I am not so with myself}

And they shall goH935 into the holesH4631 of the rocksH6697, and into the cavesH4247 of the earthH6083, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347, when he arisethH6965 to shake terriblyH6206 the earthH776. {of the earth: Heb. of the dust}
To goH935 into the cleftsH5366 of the rocksH6697, and into the topsH5585 of the ragged rocksH5553, forH6440 fearH6343 of the LORDH3068, and for the gloryH1926 of his majestyH1347, when he arisethH6965 to shake terriblyH6206 the earthH776.
WhereH375 wast thou when I laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776? declareH5046, if thou hastH3045 understandingH998. {hast…: Heb. knowest understanding}
Who hath laidH7760 the measuresH4461 thereof, if thou knowestH3045? or who hath stretchedH5186 the lineH6957 upon it?
Whereupon are the foundationsH134 thereof fastenedH2883? or who laidH3384 the cornerH6438 stoneH68 thereof; {foundations: Heb. sockets} {fastened: Heb. made to sink?}
When the morningH1242 starsH3556 sangH7442 togetherH3162, and all the sonsH1121 of GodH430 shoutedH7321 for joy?
Therefore I will shakeH7264 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776 shall removeH7493 out of her placeH4725, in the wrathH5678 of the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635, and in the dayH3117 of his fierceH2740 angerH639.
He raiseth upH6965 the poorH1800 out of the dustH6083, and lifteth upH7311 the beggarH34 from the dunghillH830, to setH3427 them among princesH5081, and to make them inheritH5157 the throneH3678 of gloryH3519: for the pillarsH4690 of the earthH776 are the LORD'SH3068, and he hath setH7896 the worldH8398 upon them.
And it shall be as the chasedH5080 roeH6643, and as a sheepH6629 that no man taketh upH6908: they shall every manH376 turnH6437 to his own peopleH5971, and fleeH5127 every oneH376 into his own landH776.
The earthH776 and all the inhabitantsH3427 thereof are dissolvedH4127: I bear upH8505 the pillarsH5982 of it. SelahH5542.
Behold, the LORDH3068 maketh the earthH776 emptyH1238, and maketh it wasteH1110, and turnethH5753 it upside downH6440, and scattereth abroadH6327 the inhabitantsH3427 thereof. {turneth…: Heb. perverteth the face thereof}
TrembleH2342, thou earthH776, at the presenceH6440 of the LordH113, at the presenceH6440 of the GodH433 of JacobH3290;
The earthH776 is utterlyH7489 broken downH7489, the earthH776 is cleanH6565 dissolvedH6565, the earthH776 is movedH4131 exceedinglyH4131.
I beheldH7200 the mountainsH2022, and, lo, they trembledH7493, and all the hillsH1389 moved lightlyH7043.
The earthH776 shall reelH5128 to and froH5128 like a drunkardH7910, and shall be removedH5110 like a cottageH4412; and the transgressionH6588 thereof shall be heavyH3513 upon it; and it shall fallH5307, and not riseH6965 againH3254.
The earthH776 shall quakeH7264 beforeH6440 them; the heavensH8064 shall trembleH7493: the sunH8121 and the moonH3394 shall be darkH6937, and the starsH3556 shall withdrawH622 their shiningH5051:
For thus saithH559 the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635; Yet onceH259, it is a little whileH4592, and I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064, and the earthH776, and the seaH3220, and the dryH2724 land;
SpeakH559 to ZerubbabelH2216, governorH6346 of JudahH3063, sayingH559, I will shakeH7493 the heavensH8064 and the earthH776;
