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}

In my distressH6862 I calledH7121 upon the LORDH3068, and criedH7768 unto my GodH430: he heardH8085 my voiceH6963 out of his templeH1964, and my cryH7775 cameH935 beforeH6440 him, even into his earsH241.
If I laughedH7832 on them, they believedH539 it not; and the lightH216 of my countenanceH6440 they cast not downH5307.
If I regardH7200 iniquityH205 in my heartH3820, the LordH136 will not hearH8085 me:
But verilyH403 GodH430 hath heardH8085 me; he hath attendedH7181 to the voiceH6963 of my prayerH8605.
BlessedH1288 be GodH430, which hath not turned awayH5493 my prayerH8605, nor his mercyH2617 from me.
And MosesH4872 spakeH1696 so unto the childrenH1121 of IsraelH3478: but they hearkenedH8085 not unto MosesH4872 for anguishH7115 of spiritH7307, and for cruelH7186 bondageH5656. {anguish: Heb. shortness, or, straitness}
And GideonH1439 saidH559 unto him, OhH994 my LordH113, ifH3426 the LORDH3068 be with us, why then is all this befallenH4672 us? and where be all his miraclesH6381 which our fathersH1 toldH5608 us of, sayingH559, Did not the LORDH3068 bring us upH5927 from EgyptH4714? but now the LORDH3068 hath forsakenH5203 us, and deliveredH5414 us into the handsH3709 of the MidianitesH4080.
Because he hath inclinedH5186 his earH241 unto me, therefore will I callH7121 upon him as long as I liveH3117. {as long…: Heb. in my days}
A SongH7892 of degreesH4609. When the LORDH3068 turned againH7725 the captivityH7870 of ZionH6726, we were like them that dreamH2492. {turned…: Heb. returned the returning}
AndG1161 while theyG846 yetG2089 believed notG569 forG575 joyG5479, andG2532 wonderedG2296, he saidG2036 unto themG846, Have yeG2192 hereG1759 anyG5100 meatG1034?
AndG2532 when she knewG1921 Peter'sG4074 voiceG5456, she openedG455 notG3756 the gateG4440 forG575 gladnessG5479, butG1161 ran inG1532, and told howG518 PeterG4074 stoodG2476 beforeG4253 the gateG4440.
AndG1161 they saidG2036 untoG4314 herG846, Thou art madG3105. ButG1161 she constantly affirmedG1340 that it wasG2192 even soG3779. ThenG1161 said theyG3004, It isG2076 hisG846 angelG32.
ButG1161 PeterG4074 continuedG1961 knockingG2925: andG1161 when they had openedG455 the door, and sawG1492 himG846+G2532, they were astonishedG1839.
