But JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
HearH8085 diligentlyH8085 my speechH4405, and let this be your consolationsH8575.
SufferH5375 me that I may speakH1696; and afterH310 that I have spokenH1696, mock onH3932.
As for me, is my complaintH7879 to manH120? and if it were so, why should not my spiritH7307 be troubledH7114? {troubled: Heb. shortened?}
MarkH6437 me, and be astonishedH8074, and layH7760 your handH3027 upon your mouthH6310. {Mark…: Heb. Look unto me}
Even when I rememberH2142 I am afraidH926, and tremblingH6427 taketh hold onH270 my fleshH1320.
Wherefore do the wickedH7563 liveH2421, become oldH6275, yea, are mightyH1396 in powerH2428?
Their seedH2233 is establishedH3559 in their sightH6440 with them, and their offspringH6631 before their eyesH5869.
Their housesH1004 are safeH7965 from fearH6343, neither is the rodH7626 of GodH433 upon them. {safe…: Heb. peace from}
Their bullH7794 genderethH5674, and failethH1602 not; their cowH6510 calvethH6403, and casteth not her calfH7921.
They send forthH7971 their little onesH5759 like a flockH6629, and their childrenH3206 danceH7540.
They takeH5375 the timbrelH8596 and harpH3658, and rejoiceH8055 at the soundH6963 of the organH5748.
They spendH3615+H1086 their daysH3117 in wealthH2896, and in a momentH7281 go downH2865+H5181 to the graveH7585. {in wealth: or, in mirth}
Therefore they sayH559 unto GodH410, DepartH5493 from us; for we desireH2654 not the knowledgeH1847 of thy waysH1870.
What is the AlmightyH7706, that we should serveH5647 him? and what profitH3276 should we have, if we prayH6293 unto him?
Lo, their goodH2898 is not in their handH3027: the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me.
How oft is the candleH5216 of the wickedH7563 put outH1846! and how oft comethH935 their destructionH343 upon them! God distributethH2505 sorrowsH2256 in his angerH639. {candle: or, lamp}
They are as stubbleH8401 beforeH6440 the windH7307, and as chaffH4671 that the stormH5492 carrieth awayH1589. {carrieth: Heb. stealeth}
GodH433 layeth upH6845 his iniquityH205 for his childrenH1121: he rewardethH7999 him, and he shall knowH3045 it. {his iniquity: that is, the punishment of his iniquity}
His eyesH5869 shall seeH7200 his destructionH3589, and he shall drinkH8354 of the wrathH2534 of the AlmightyH7706.
For what pleasureH2656 hath he in his houseH1004 afterH310 him, when the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 is cut off in the midstH2686?
Shall any teachH3925 GodH410 knowledgeH1847? seeing he judgethH8199 those that are highH7311.
One diethH4191 in his fullH8537 strengthH6106, being wholly at easeH7946 and quietH7961. {his…: Heb. his very, or, the strength of, his perfection}
His breastsH5845 are fullH4390 of milkH2461, and his bonesH6106 are moistenedH8248 with marrowH4221. {breasts: or, milk pails}
And another diethH4191 in the bitternessH4751 of his soulH5315, and never eatethH398 with pleasureH2896.
They shall lie downH7901 alikeH3162 in the dustH6083, and the wormsH7415 shall coverH3680 them.
Behold, I knowH3045 your thoughtsH4284, and the devicesH4209 which ye wrongfully imagineH2554 against me.
For ye sayH559, Where is the houseH1004 of the princeH5081? and where are the dwellingH4908 placesH168 of the wickedH7563? {the dwelling…: Heb. the tent of the tabernacles}
Have ye not askedH7592 them that goH5674 by the wayH1870? and do ye not knowH5234 their tokensH226,
That the wickedH7451 is reservedH2820 to the dayH3117 of destructionH343? they shall be brought forthH2986 to the dayH3117 of wrathH5678. {wrath: Heb. wraths}
Who shall declareH5046 his wayH1870 to his faceH6440? and who shall repayH7999 him what he hath doneH6213?
Yet shall he be broughtH2986 to the graveH6913, and shall remainH8245 in the tombH1430. {grave: Heb. graves} {remain…: Heb. watch in the heap}
The clodsH7263 of the valleyH5158 shall be sweetH4985 unto him, and every manH120 shall drawH4900 afterH310 him, as there are innumerableH4557 beforeH6440 him.
How then comfortH5162 ye me in vainH1892, seeing in your answersH8666 there remainethH7604 falsehoodH4604? {falsehood: Heb. transgression?}

The LORDH3068 hath madeH6466 all things for himselfH4617: yea, even the wickedH7563 for the dayH3117 of evilH7451.
The increaseH2981 of his houseH1004 shall departH1540, and his goods shall flow awayH5064 in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639.
GodH410 is jealousH7072, and the LORDH3068 revengethH5358; the LORDH3068 revengethH5358, and is furiousH1167+H2534; the LORDH3068 will take vengeanceH5358 on his adversariesH6862, and he reservethH5201 wrath for his enemiesH341. {God…: or, The LORD is a jealous God, and a revenger, etc} {is furious: Heb. that hath fury}
The LordH136 at thy right handH3225 shall strikeH4272 through kingsH4428 in the dayH3117 of his wrathH639.
The LordG2962 knowethG1492 how to deliverG4506 the godlyG2152 out ofG1537 temptationsG3986, andG1161 to reserveG5083 the unjustG94 untoG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 to be punishedG2849:
ButG1161 chieflyG3122 them that walkG4198 afterG3694 the fleshG4561 inG1722 the lustG1939 of uncleannessG3394, andG2532 despiseG2706 governmentG2963. PresumptuousG5113 are they, selfwilledG829, they are notG3756 afraidG5141 to speak evilG987 of dignitiesG1391. {government: or, dominion}
WhereasG3699 angelsG32, which areG5607 greater inG3187 powerG2479 andG2532 mightG1411, bringG5342 notG3756 railingG989 accusationG2920 againstG2596 themG846 beforeG3844 the LordG2962. {them: some read, themselves}
ButG1161 theseG3778, asG5613 naturalG5446 bruteG249 beastsG2226, madeG1080 toG1519 be takenG259 andG2532 destroyedG5356, speak evilG987 ofG1722 the things thatG3739 they understand notG50; and shall utterly perishG2704 inG1722 their ownG846 corruptionG5356;
And shall receiveG2865 the rewardG3408 of unrighteousnessG93, as they that countG2233 it pleasureG2237 to riotG5172 inG1722 the day timeG2250. SpotsG4696 they are andG2532 blemishesG3470, sporting themselvesG1792 withG1722 their ownG846 deceivingsG539 while they feastG4910 with youG5213;
HavingG2192 eyesG3788 fullG3324 of adulteryG3428, andG2532 that cannot cease fromG180 sinG266; beguilingG1185 unstableG793 soulsG5590: an heartG2588 they haveG2192 exercisedG1128 with covetous practicesG4124; cursedG2671 childrenG5043: {adultery: Gr. an adulteress}
Which have forsakenG2641 the rightG2117 wayG3598, and are gone astrayG4105, followingG1811 the wayG3598 of BalaamG903 the son of BosorG1007, whoG3739 lovedG25 the wagesG3408 of unrighteousnessG93;
ButG1161 wasG2192 rebukedG1649 for hisG2398 iniquityG3892: the dumbG880 assG5268 speakingG5350 withG1722 man'sG444 voiceG5456 forbadG2967 the madnessG3913 of the prophetG4396.
TheseG3778 areG1526 wellsG4077 without waterG504, cloudsG3507 that are carriedG1643 withG5259 a tempestG2978; to whomG3739 the mistG2217 of darknessG4655 is reservedG5083 forG1519 everG165.
RichesH1952 profitH3276 not in the dayH3117 of wrathH5678: but righteousnessH6666 deliverethH5337 from deathH4194.
ButG1161 the heavensG3772 andG2532 the earthG1093, which are nowG3568, by the sameG846 wordG3056 areG1526 kept in storeG2343, reservedG5083 unto fireG4442 againstG1519 the dayG2250 of judgmentG2920 andG2532 perditionG684 of ungodlyG765 menG444.
That dayH3117 is a dayH3117 of wrathH5678, a dayH3117 of troubleH6869 and distressH4691, a dayH3117 of wastenessH7722 and desolationH4875, a dayH3117 of darknessH2822 and gloominessH653, a dayH3117 of cloudsH6051 and thick darknessH6205,
