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}

I went downH3381 to the bottomsH7095 of the mountainsH2022; the earthH776 with her barsH1280 was about me for everH5769: yet hast thou brought upH5927 my lifeH2416 from corruptionH7845, O LORDH3068 my GodH430. {bottoms: Heb. cuttings off} {corruption: or, the pit}
