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}

Hast thou with him spread outH7554 the skyH7834, which is strongH2389, and as a moltenH3332 looking glassH7209?
And saidH559, HithertoH5704+H6311 shalt thou comeH935, but no furtherH3254: and here shall thy proudH1347 wavesH1530 be stayedH7896? {thy…: Heb. the pride of thy waves}
And GodH430 saidH559, Let there be a firmamentH7549 in the midstH8432 of the watersH4325, and let it divideH914 the watersH4325 from the watersH4325. {firmament: Heb. expansion}
The floodsH5104 have lifted upH5375, O LORDH3068, the floodsH5104 have lifted upH5375 their voiceH6963; the floodsH5104 lift upH5375 their wavesH1796.
And GodH430 madeH6213 the firmamentH7549, and dividedH914 the watersH4325 whichH834 were underH8478 the firmamentH7549 from the watersH4325 whichH834 were aboveH5921 the firmamentH7549: and it was soH3651.
The LORDH3068 on highH4791 is mightierH117 than the noiseH6963 of manyH7227 watersH4325, yea, than the mightyH117 wavesH4867 of the seaH3220.
By the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 were the heavensH8064 madeH6213; and all the hostH6635 of them by the breathH7307 of his mouthH6310.
AndG1161 in the fourthG5067 watchG5438 of the nightG3571 JesusG2424 wentG565 untoG4314 themG846, walkingG4043 onG1909 the seaG2281.
AndG2532 when the disciplesG3101 sawG1492 himG846 walkingG4043 onG1909 the seaG2281, they were troubledG5015, sayingG3004+G3754, It isG2076 a spiritG5326; andG2532 they cried outG2896 forG575 fearG5401.
ButG1161 straightwayG2112 JesusG2424 spakeG2980 unto themG846, sayingG3004, Be of good cheerG2293; it isG1510 IG1473; beG5399 notG3361 afraidG5399.
AndG1161 PeterG4074 answeredG611 himG846 and saidG2036, LordG2962, ifG1487 it beG1488 thouG4771, bidG2753 meG3165 comeG2064 untoG4314 theeG4571 onG1909 the waterG5204.
AndG1161 he saidG2036, ComeG2064. AndG2532 when PeterG4074 was come downG2597 out ofG575 the shipG4143, he walkedG4043 onG1909 the waterG5204, to goG2064 toG4314 JesusG2424.
ButG1161 when he sawG991 the windG417 boisterousG2478, he was afraidG5399; andG2532 beginningG756 to sinkG2670, he criedG2896, sayingG3004, LordG2962, saveG4982 meG3165. {boisterous: or, strong}
Who coverestH5844 thyself with lightH216 as with a garmentH8008: who stretchest outH5186 the heavensH8064 like a curtainH3407:
SoG3767 when they had rowedG1643 aboutG5613 fiveG4002 and twentyG1501 orG2228 thirtyG5144 furlongsG4712, they seeG2334 JesusG2424 walkingG4043 onG1909 the seaG2281, andG2532 drawingG1096 nighG1451 unto the shipG4143: andG2532 they were afraidG5399.
Who layeth the beamsH7136 of his chambersH5944 in the watersH4325: who makethH7760 the cloudsH5645 his chariotH7398: who walkethH1980 upon the wingsH3671 of the windH7307:
It is he that sittethH3427 upon the circleH2329 of the earthH776, and the inhabitantsH3427 thereof are as grasshoppersH2284; that stretcheth outH5186 the heavensH8064 as a curtainH1852, and spreadeth them outH4969 as a tentH168 to dwell inH3427: {It is…: or, Him that}
Thus saithH559 GodH410 the LORDH3068, he that createdH1254 the heavensH8064, and stretched them outH5186; he that spread forthH7554 the earthH776, and that which cometh outH6631 of it; he that givethH5414 breathH5397 unto the peopleH5971 upon it, and spiritH7307 to them that walkH1980 therein:
Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, thy redeemerH1350, and he that formedH3335 thee from the wombH990, I am the LORDH3068 that makethH6213 all things; that stretcheth forthH5186 the heavensH8064 alone; that spreadeth abroadH7554 the earthH776 by myself;
