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.

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}
As GodH410 livethH2416, who hath taken awayH5493 my judgmentH4941; and the AlmightyH7706, who hath vexedH4843 my soulH5315; {vexed…: Heb. made my soul bitter}
Then saidH559 I, WoeH188 is me! for I am undoneH1820; because I am a manH376 of uncleanH2931 lipsH8193, and I dwellH3427 in the midstH8432 of a peopleH5971 of uncleanH2931 lipsH8193: for mine eyesH5869 have seenH7200 the KingH4428, the LORDH3068 of hostsH6635. {undone: Heb. cut off}
And she saidH559 unto them, CallH7121 me not NaomiH5281, callH7121 me MaraH4755: for the AlmightyH7706 hath dealt veryH3966 bitterlyH4843 with me. {Naomi: that is, Pleasant} {Mara: that is, Bitter}
