Then JobH347 answeredH6030 and saidH559,
Even to dayH3117 is my complaintH7879 bitterH4805: my strokeH3027 is heavierH3513 than my groaningH585. {stroke: Heb. hand}
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.
Behold, I goH1980 forwardH6924, but he is not there; and backwardH268, but I cannot perceiveH995 him:
On the left handH8040, where he doth workH6213, but I cannot beholdH2372 him: he hidethH5848 himself on the right handH3225, that I cannot seeH7200 him:
But he knowethH3045 the wayH1870 that I takeH5978: when he hath triedH974 me, I shall come forthH3318 as goldH2091. {that…: Heb. that is with me}
My footH7272 hath heldH270 his stepsH838, his wayH1870 have I keptH8104, and not declinedH5186.
Neither have I gone backH4185 from the commandmentH4687 of his lipsH8193; I have esteemedH6845 the wordsH561 of his mouthH6310 more than my necessaryH2706 food. {esteemed: Heb. hid, or, laid up} {my…: or, my appointed portion}
But he is in oneH259 mind, and who can turnH7725 him? and what his soulH5315 desirethH183, even that he doethH6213.
For he performethH7999 the thing that is appointedH2706 for me: and manyH7227 suchH2007 things are with him.
Therefore am I troubledH926 at his presenceH6440: when I considerH995, I am afraidH6342 of him.
For GodH410 maketh my heartH3820 softH7401, and the AlmightyH7706 troublethH926 me:
Because I was not cut offH6789 beforeH6440 the darknessH2822, neither hath he coveredH3680 the darknessH652 from my faceH6440.

Come nowH3212, and let us reason togetherH3198, saithH559 the LORDH3068: though your sinsH2399 be as scarletH8144, they shall be as whiteH3835 as snowH7950; though they be redH119 like crimsonH8438, they shall be as woolH6785.
Whom, though I were righteousH6663, yet would I not answerH6030, but I would make supplicationH2603 to my judgeH8199.
Will he reserveH5201 his anger for everH5769? will he keepH8104 it to the endH5331? Behold, thou hast spokenH1696 and doneH6213 evil thingsH7451 as thou couldestH3201.
NowG1161 we knowG1492 thatG3754 what things soeverG3745 the lawG3551 saithG3004, it saithG2980 to them who are underG1722 the lawG3551: thatG2443 everyG3956 mouthG4750 may be stoppedG5420, andG2532 allG3956 the worldG2889 may becomeG1096 guiltyG5267 before GodG2316. {guilty…: or, subject to the judgment of God}
ThereforeG1360 byG1537 the deedsG2041 of the lawG3551 there shallG1344 noG3956+G3756 fleshG4561 be justifiedG1344 in hisG846 sightG1799: forG1063 byG1223 the lawG3551 is the knowledgeG1922 of sinG266.
ButG1161 nowG3570 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 withoutG5565 the lawG3551 is manifestedG5319, being witnessedG3140 byG5259 the lawG3551 andG2532 the prophetsG4396;
EvenG1161 the righteousnessG1343 of GodG2316 which is byG1223 faithG4102 of JesusG2424 ChristG5547 untoG1519 allG3956 andG2532 uponG1909 allG3956 them that believeG4100: forG1063 there isG2076 noG3756 differenceG1293:
RighteousH6662 art thou, O LORDH3068, when I pleadH7378 with thee: yet let me talkH1696 with thee of thy judgmentsH4941: Wherefore doth the wayH1870 of the wickedH7563 prosperH6743? wherefore are all they happyH7951 that deal veryH899 treacherouslyH898? {talk…: or, reason the case with thee}
There is thereforeG686 nowG3568 noG3762 condemnationG2631 to them which are inG1722 ChristG5547 JesusG2424, who walkG4043 notG3361 afterG2596 the fleshG4561, butG235 afterG2596 the SpiritG4151.
