Then JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
I have heardH8085 many such thingsH7227: miserableH5999 comfortersH5162 are ye all. {miserable: or, troublesome}
Shall vainH7307 wordsH1697 have an endH7093? or what emboldenethH4834 thee that thou answerestH6030? {vain…: Heb. words of wind}
I also could speakH1696 as ye do: ifH3863 your soulH5315 wereH3426 in my soul'sH5315 stead, I could heap upH2266 wordsH4405 against you, and shakeH5128 mine headH7218 atH1119 you.
But I would strengthenH553 you withH1119 my mouthH6310, and the movingH5205 of my lipsH8193 should asswageH2820 your grief.
Though I speakH1696, my griefH3511 is not asswagedH2820: and though I forbearH2308, what am I easedH1980? {what…: Heb. what goeth from me?}
But now he hath made me wearyH3811: thou hast made desolateH8074 all my companyH5712.
And thou hast filled me with wrinklesH7059, which is a witnessH5707 against me: and my leannessH3585 rising upH6965 in me beareth witnessH6030 to my faceH6440.
He tearethH2963 me in his wrathH639, who hatethH7852 me: he gnashethH2786 upon me with his teethH8127; mine enemyH6862 sharpenethH3913 his eyesH5869 upon me.
They have gapedH6473 upon me with their mouthH6310; they have smittenH5221 me upon the cheekH3895 reproachfullyH2781; they have gatheredH4390 themselves togetherH3162 against me.
GodH410 hath deliveredH5462 me to the ungodlyH5760, and turned me overH3399 into the handsH3027 of the wickedH7563. {hath…: Heb. hath shut me up}
I was at easeH7961, but he hath broken me asunderH6565: he hath also takenH270 me by my neckH6203, and shaken me to piecesH6327, and set me upH6965 for his markH4307.
His archersH7228 compass me round aboutH5437, he cleavethH6398 my reinsH3629 asunderH6398, and doth not spareH2550; he poureth outH8210 my gallH4845 upon the groundH776.
He breakethH6555 me with breachH6556 uponH6440 breachH6556, he runnethH7323 upon me like a giantH1368.
I have sewedH8609 sackclothH8242 upon my skinH1539, and defiledH5953 my hornH7161 in the dustH6083.
My faceH6440 is foulH2560 with weepingH1065, and on my eyelidsH6079 is the shadow of deathH6757;
Not for any injusticeH2555 in mine handsH3709: also my prayerH8605 is pureH2134.
O earthH776, coverH3680 not thou my bloodH1818, and let my cryH2201 have no placeH4725.
Also now, behold, my witnessH5707 is in heavenH8064, and my recordH7717 is on highH4791. {on high: Heb. in the high places}
My friendsH7453 scornH3887 me: but mine eyeH5869 poureth outH1811 tears unto GodH433. {scorn me: Heb. are my scorners}
O that one might pleadH3198 for a manH1397 with GodH433, as a manH120 pleadeth for his neighbourH1121+H7453! {neighbour: or, friend}
When a fewH4557 yearsH8141 are comeH857, then I shall goH1980 the wayH734 whence I shall not returnH7725. {a few…: Heb. years of number}

And the SabeansH7614 fellH5307 upon them, and took them awayH3947; yea, they have slainH5221 the servantsH5288 with the edgeH6310 of the swordH2719; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee.

And, behold, there cameH935 a greatH1419 windH7307 fromH5676 the wildernessH4057, and smoteH5060 the fourH702 cornersH6438 of the houseH1004, and it fellH5307 upon the young menH5288, and they are deadH4191; and I only am escapedH4422 alone to tellH5046 thee. {from…: Heb. from aside, etc}
So am I made to possessH5157 monthsH3391 of vanityH7723, and wearisomeH5999 nightsH3915 are appointedH4487 to me.

When I washedH7364 my stepsH1978 with butterH2529, and the rockH6697 poured me outH6694 riversH6388 of oilH8081; {me: Heb. with me}
When I went outH3318 to the gateH8179 through the cityH7176, when I preparedH3559 my seatH4186 in the streetH7339!
The young menH5288 sawH7200 me, and hidH2244 themselves: and the agedH3453 aroseH6965, and stood upH5975.
The princesH8269 refrainedH6113 talkingH4405, and laidH7760 their handH3709 on their mouthH6310.
The noblesH5057 heldH2244 their peaceH6963, and their tongueH3956 cleavedH1692 to the roof of their mouthH2441. {The nobles…: Heb. The voice of the nobles was hid}
When the earH241 heardH8085 me, then it blessedH833 me; and when the eyeH5869 sawH7200 me, it gave witnessH5749 to me:
Because I deliveredH4422 the poorH6041 that criedH7768, and the fatherlessH3490, and him that had none to helpH5826 him.
The blessingH1293 of him that was ready to perishH6 cameH935 upon me: and I caused the widow'sH490 heartH3820 to sing for joyH7442.
I putH3847 on righteousnessH6664, and it clothedH3847 me: my judgmentH4941 was as a robeH4598 and a diademH6797.
I was eyesH5869 to the blindH5787, and feetH7272 was I to the lameH6455.
I was a fatherH1 to the poorH34: and the causeH7379 which I knewH3045 not I searched outH2713.
And I brakeH7665 the jawsH4973 of the wickedH5767, and pluckedH7993 the spoilH2964 out of his teethH8127. {the jaws: Heb. the jawteeth, or, the grinders} {plucked: Heb. cast}

Unto me men gave earH8085, and waitedH3176, and kept silenceH1826 atH3926 my counselH6098.
AfterH310 my wordsH1697 they spake not againH8138; and my speechH4405 droppedH5197 upon them.
And they waitedH3176 for me as for the rainH4306; and they openedH6473 their mouthH6310 wide as for the latter rainH4456.
If I laughedH7832 on them, they believedH539 it not; and the lightH216 of my countenanceH6440 they cast not downH5307.
I choseH977 out their wayH1870, and satH3427 chiefH7218, and dweltH7931 as a kingH4428 in the armyH1416, as one that comfortethH5162 the mournersH57.
