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.

And SatanH7854 answeredH6030 the LORDH3068, and saidH559, SkinH5785 for skinH5785, yea, all that a manH376 hath will he giveH5414 for his lifeH5315.
ButH199 put forthH7971 thine handH3027 now, and touchH5060 his boneH6106 and his fleshH1320, and he will curseH1288 thee to thy faceH6440.
And the LORDH3068 saidH559 unto SatanH7854, Behold, he is in thine handH3027; but saveH8104 his lifeH5315. {but: or, only}
He is chastenedH3198 also with painH4341 upon his bedH4904, and the multitudeH7230+H7379 of his bonesH6106 with strongH386 pain:
So that his lifeH2416 abhorrethH2092 breadH3899, and his soulH5315 daintyH8378 meatH3978. {dainty…: Heb. meat of desire}
His fleshH1320 is consumed awayH3615, that it cannot be seenH7210; and his bonesH6106 that were not seenH7200 stick outH8192+H8205.
Yea, his soulH5315 draweth nearH7126 unto the graveH7845, and his lifeH2416 to the destroyersH4191.
My fleshH1320 is clothedH3847 with wormsH7415 and clodsH1487 of dustH6083; my skinH5785 is brokenH7280, and become loathsomeH3988.
I am poured outH8210 like waterH4325, and all my bonesH6106 are out of jointH6504: my heartH3820 is like waxH1749; it is meltedH4549 in the midstH8432 of my bowelsH4578. {out of…: or, sundered}
My strengthH3581 is dried upH3001 like a potsherdH2789; and my tongueH3956 cleavethH1692 to my jawsH4455; and thou hast broughtH8239 me into the dustH6083 of deathH4194.
For dogsH3611 have compassedH5437 me: the assemblyH5712 of the wickedH7489 have inclosedH5362 me: they piercedH3738+H738 my handsH3027 and my feetH7272.
I may tellH5608 all my bonesH6106: they lookH5027 and stareH7200 upon me.
When I kept silenceH2790, my bonesH6106 waxed oldH1086 through my roaringH7581 all the dayH3117 long.
Our skinH5785 was blackH3648 like an ovenH8574 becauseH6440 of the terribleH2152 famineH7458. {terrible: or, terrors, or, storms}
For dayH3119 and nightH3915 thy handH3027 was heavyH3513 upon me: my moistureH3955 is turnedH2015 into the droughtH2725 of summerH7019. SelahH5542.
There is no soundnessH4974 in my fleshH1320 becauseH6440 of thine angerH2195; neither is there any restH7965 in my bonesH6106 becauseH6440 of my sinH2403. {rest: Heb. peace, or, health}
For my daysH3117 are consumedH3615 like smokeH6227, and my bonesH6106 are burnedH2787 as an hearthH4168. {like…: or, (as some read) into smoke}
