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}

If I be wickedH7561, woeH480 unto me; and if I be righteousH6663, yet will I not lift upH5375 my headH7218. I am fullH7649 of confusionH7036; therefore seeH7202+H7200 thou mine afflictionH6040;
There the righteousH3477 might disputeH3198 with him; so should I be deliveredH6403 for everH5331 from my judgeH8199.
ForG1063 I knowG4894 nothingG3762 by myselfG1683; yetG235 am IG1344 notG3756 herebyG1722+G5129 justifiedG1344: butG1161 he that judgethG350 meG3165 isG2076 the LordG2962. {know: or, I am not conscious of any fault}
If thou wouldest seekH7836 unto GodH410 betimesH7836, and make thy supplicationH2603 to the AlmightyH7706;
WhoG3739, when he was reviledG3058, reviledG486 notG3756 againG486; when he sufferedG3958, he threatenedG546 notG3756; butG1161 committedG3860 himself to him that judgethG2919 righteouslyG1346: {himself: or, his cause}
I will sayH559 unto GodH433, Do not condemnH7561 me; shewH3045 me wherefore thou contendestH7378 with me.
Thou shalt make thy prayerH6279 unto him, and he shall hearH8085 thee, and thou shalt payH7999 thy vowsH5088.
Surely it is meet to be saidH559 unto GodH410, I have borneH5375 chastisement, I will not offendH2254 any more:
That which I seeH2372 notH1107 teachH3384 thou me: if I have doneH6466 iniquityH5766, I will doH3254 no more.
What prayerH8605 and supplicationH8467 soever be made by any manH120, or by all thy peopleH5971 IsraelH3478, which shall knowH3045 every manH376 the plagueH5061 of his own heartH3824, and spread forthH6566 his handsH3709 toward this houseH1004:
Then hearH8085 thou in heavenH8064 thy dwellingH3427 placeH4349, and forgiveH5545, and doH6213, and giveH5414 to every manH376 according to his waysH1870, whose heartH3824 thou knowestH3045; (for thou, even thou only, knowestH3045 the heartsH3824 of all the childrenH1121 of menH120;)
And prayedH6419 unto him: and he was intreatedH6279 of him, and heardH8085 his supplicationH8467, and brought him againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 into his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 he was GodH430.
They shall comeH935 with weepingH1065, and with supplicationsH8469 will I leadH2986 them: I will cause them to walkH3212 by the riversH5158 of watersH4325 in a straightH3477 wayH1870, wherein they shall not stumbleH3782: for I am a fatherH1 to IsraelH3478, and EphraimH669 is my firstbornH1060. {supplications: or, favours}
And I setH5414 my faceH6440 unto the LordH136 GodH430, to seekH1245 by prayerH8605 and supplicationsH8469, with fastingH6685, and sackclothH8242, and ashesH665:
O my GodH430, inclineH5186 thine earH241, and hearH8085; openH6491 thine eyesH5869, and beholdH7200 our desolationsH8074, and the cityH5892 which is calledH7121 by thy nameH8034: for we do not presentH5307 our supplicationsH8469 beforeH6440 thee for our righteousnessesH6666, but for thy greatH7227 merciesH7356. {which…: Heb. whereupon thy name is called} {present: Heb. cause to fall}
