Then JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
How long will ye vexH3013 my soulH5315, and breakH1792 me in pieces with wordsH4405?
These tenH6235 timesH6471 have ye reproachedH3637 me: ye are not ashamedH954 that ye make yourselves strangeH1970 to me. {make…: or, harden yourselves against me}
And be it indeedH551 that I have erredH7686, mine errorH4879 remainethH3885 with myself.
If indeedH551 ye will magnifyH1431 yourselves against me, and pleadH3198 against me my reproachH2781:
KnowH3045 nowH645 that GodH433 hath overthrownH5791 me, and hath compassedH5362 me with his netH4686.
Behold, I cry outH6817 of wrongH2555, but I am not heardH6030: I cry aloudH7768, but there is no judgmentH4941. {wrong: or, violence}
He hath fenced upH1443 my wayH734 that I cannot passH5674, and he hath setH7760 darknessH2822 in my pathsH5410.
He hath strippedH6584 me of my gloryH3519, and takenH5493 the crownH5850 from my headH7218.
He hath destroyedH5422 me on every sideH5439, and I am goneH3212: and mine hopeH8615 hath he removedH5265 like a treeH6086.
He hath also kindledH2734 his wrathH639 against me, and he countethH2803 me unto him as one of his enemiesH6862.
His troopsH1416 comeH935 togetherH3162, and raise upH5549 their wayH1870 against me, and encampH2583 round aboutH5439 my tabernacleH168.
He hath putH7368 my brethrenH251 farH7368 from me, and mine acquaintanceH3045 are verily estrangedH2114 from me.
My kinsfolkH7138 have failedH2308, and my familiar friendsH3045 have forgottenH7911 me.
They that dwellH1481 in mine houseH1004, and my maidsH519, countH2803 me for a strangerH2114: I am an alienH5237 in their sightH5869.
I calledH7121 my servantH5650, and he gave me no answerH6030; I intreatedH2603 him withH1119 my mouthH6310.
My breathH7307 is strangeH2114 to my wifeH802, though I intreatedH2589 for the children'sH1121 sake of mine own bodyH990. {mine…: Heb. my belly}
Yea, young childrenH5759 despisedH3988 me; I aroseH6965, and they spakeH1696 against me. {young…: or, the wicked}
All my inwardH5475 friendsH4962 abhorredH8581 me: and they whom I lovedH157 are turnedH2015 against me. {my…: Heb. the men of my secret}
My boneH6106 cleavethH1692 to my skinH5785 and to my fleshH1320, and I am escapedH4422 with the skinH5785 of my teethH8127. {and to: or, as to}
Have pityH2603 upon me, have pityH2603 upon me, O ye my friendsH7453; for the handH3027 of GodH433 hath touchedH5060 me.
Why do ye persecuteH7291 me as GodH410, and are not satisfiedH7646 with my fleshH1320?
Oh thatH5414 my wordsH4405 were nowH645 writtenH3789! oh thatH5414 they were printedH2710 in a bookH5612! {Oh…: Heb. Who will give, etc}
That they were gravenH2672 with an ironH1270 penH5842 and leadH5777 in the rockH6697 for everH5703!
For I knowH3045 that my redeemerH1350 livethH2416, and that he shall standH6965 at the latterH314 day upon the earthH6083:
And though afterH310 my skinH5785 worms destroyH5362 this body, yet in my fleshH1320 shall I seeH2372 GodH433: {And…: or, After I shall awake, though this body be destroyed, yet out of my flesh}
Whom I shall seeH2372 for myself, and mine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200, and not anotherH2114; though my reinsH3629 be consumedH3615 withinH2436 me. {another: Heb. a stranger} {though…: or, my reins within me are consumed with earnest desire (for that day)} {within…: Heb. in my bosom}
But ye should sayH559, Why persecuteH7291 we him, seeing the rootH8328 of the matterH1697 is foundH4672 in me? {seeing…: or, and what root of matter is found in me?}
Be ye afraidH1481 of the swordH2719: for wrathH2534 bringeth the punishmentsH5771 ofH6440 the swordH2719, that ye may knowH3045 there is a judgmentH1779+H1779.

Is it goodH2895 unto thee that thou shouldest oppressH6231, that thou shouldest despiseH3988 the workH3018 of thine handsH3709, and shineH3313 upon the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563? {work: Heb. labour}
For he is not a manH376, as I am, that I should answerH6030 him, and we should comeH935 togetherH3162 in judgmentH4941.
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;
For it increasethH1342. Thou huntestH6679 me as a fierce lionH7826: and againH7725 thou shewest thyself marvellousH6381 upon me.
Thou renewestH2318 thy witnessesH5707 against me, and increasestH7235 thine indignationH3708 upon meH5978; changesH2487 and warH6635 are against me. {witnesses: that is, thy plagues}
ThoughH2005 he slayH6991 me, yet will I trustH3176 in him: but I will maintainH3198 mine own waysH1870 beforeH6440 him. {maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue}
He also shall be my salvationH3444: for an hypocriteH2611 shall not comeH935 beforeH6440 him.
HearH8085 diligentlyH8085 my speechH4405, and my declarationH262 with your earsH241.
Behold now, I have orderedH6186 my causeH4941; I knowH3045 that I shall be justifiedH6663.
Who is he that will pleadH7378 with me? for now, if I hold my tongueH2790, I shall give up the ghostH1478.
Only doH6213 not twoH8147 things unto me: then will I not hideH5641 myself from theeH6440.
WithdrawH7368 thine handH3709 farH7368 from me: and let not thy dreadH367 make me afraidH1204.
Then callH7121 thou, and I will answerH6030: or let me speakH1696, and answerH7725 thou me.
How many are mine iniquitiesH5771 and sinsH2403? make me to knowH3045 my transgressionH6588 and my sinH2403.
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}
O that one might pleadH3198 for a manH1397 with GodH433, as a manH120 pleadeth for his neighbourH1121+H7453! {neighbour: or, friend}
Behold, I knowH3045 your thoughtsH4284, and the devicesH4209 which ye wrongfully imagineH2554 against me.
Oh thatH5414 I knewH3045 where I might findH4672 him! that I might comeH935 even to his seatH8499!
I would orderH6186 my causeH4941 beforeH6440 him, and fillH4390 my mouthH6310 with argumentsH8433.
I would knowH3045 the wordsH4405 which he would answerH6030 me, and understandH995 what he would sayH559 unto me.
Will he pleadH7378 againstH5978 me with his greatH7230 powerH3581? No; but he would putH7760 strength in me.
There the righteousH3477 might disputeH3198 with him; so should I be deliveredH6403 for everH5331 from my judgeH8199.
O my GodH430, I cryH7121 in the daytimeH3119, but thou hearestH6030 not; and in the night seasonH3915, and am not silentH1747. {am…: Heb. there is no silence to me}
Oh thatH5414 one would hearH8085 me! behold, my desireH8420 is, that the AlmightyH7706 would answerH6030 me, and that mine adversaryH376+H7379 had writtenH3789 a bookH5612. {my…: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}
For sinceH1767 I spakeH1696, I cried outH2199, I criedH7121 violenceH2555 and spoilH7701; because the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 was made a reproachH2781 unto me, and a derisionH7047, dailyH3117.
O LORDH3068, how long shall I cryH7768, and thou wilt not hearH8085! even cry outH2199 unto thee of violenceH2555, and thou wilt not saveH3467!
