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.

Yea, mine own familiarH7965 friendH376, in whom I trustedH982, which did eatH398 of my breadH3899, hath lifted upH1431 his heelH6119 against me. {mine…: Heb. the man of my peace} {lifted…: Heb. magnified}
To him that is afflictedH4523 pityH2617 should be shewed from his friendH7453; but he forsakethH5800 the fearH3374 of the AlmightyH7706. {is afflicted: Heb. melteth}
For it was not an enemyH341 that reproachedH2778 me; then I could have borneH5375 it: neither was it he that hatedH8130 me that did magnifyH1431 himself against me; then I would have hidH5641 myself from him:
But it was thou, a manH582 mine equalH6187, my guideH441, and mine acquaintanceH3045. {mine equal: Heb. according to my rank}
We took sweetH4985 counselH5475 togetherH3162, and walkedH1980 unto the houseH1004 of GodH430 in companyH7285. {We…: Heb. Who sweetened counsel}
