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.

Even that it would pleaseH2974 GodH433 to destroyH1792 me; that he would let looseH5425 his handH3027, and cut me offH1214!
He believethH539 not that he shall returnH7725 out of darknessH2822, and he is waitedH6822 for of the swordH2719.
Behold therefore, I will gatherH622 thee unto thy fathersH1, and thou shalt be gatheredH622 into thy graveH6913 in peaceH7965; and thine eyesH5869 shall not seeH7200 all the evilH7451 which I will bringH935 upon this placeH4725. And they broughtH7725 the kingH4428 wordH1697 againH7725.
The lightH216 shall be darkH2821 in his tabernacleH168, and his candleH5216 shall be put outH1846 with him. {candle: or, lamp}
The righteousH6662 perishethH6, and no manH376 layethH7760 it to heartH3820: and mercifulH2617 menH582 are taken awayH622, none consideringH995 that the righteousH6662 is taken awayH622 fromH6440 the evilH7451 to come. {merciful…: Heb. men of kindness, or, godliness} {from…: or, from that which is evil}
He shall be drivenH1920 from lightH216 into darknessH2822, and chasedH5074 out of the worldH8398. {He…: Heb. They shall drive him}
