WhereforeH199, JobH347, I pray thee, hearH8085 my speechesH4405, and hearkenH238 to all my wordsH1697.
Behold, now I have openedH6605 my mouthH6310, my tongueH3956 hath spokenH1696 in my mouthH2441. {in my mouth: Heb. in my palate}
My wordsH561 shall be of the uprightnessH3476 of my heartH3820: and my lipsH8193 shall utterH4448 knowledgeH1847 clearlyH1305.
The SpiritH7307 of GodH410 hath madeH6213 me, and the breathH5397 of the AlmightyH7706 hath given me lifeH2421.
If thou canstH3201 answerH7725 me, set thy words in orderH6186 beforeH6440 me, stand upH3320.
Behold, I am according to thy wishH6310 in God'sH410 stead: I also am formedH7169 out of the clayH2563. {wish: Heb. mouth} {formed: Heb. cut}
Behold, my terrorH367 shall not make thee afraidH1204, neither shall my handH405 be heavyH3513 upon thee.
Surely thou hast spokenH559 in mine hearingH241, and I have heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of thy wordsH4405, saying, {hearing: Heb. ears}
I am cleanH2134 without transgressionH6588, I am innocentH2643; neither is there iniquityH5771 in me.
Behold, he findethH4672 occasionsH8569 against me, he countethH2803 me for his enemyH341,
He puttethH7760 my feetH7272 in the stocksH5465, he markethH8104 all my pathsH734.
Behold, in this thou art not justH6663: I will answerH6030 thee, that GodH433 is greaterH7235 than manH582.
Why dost thou striveH7378 against him? for he giveth not accountH6030 of any of his mattersH1697. {he giveth…: Heb. he answereth not}
For GodH410 speakethH1696 onceH259, yea twiceH8147, yet man perceivethH7789 it not.
In a dreamH2472, in a visionH2384 of the nightH3915, when deepH8639 sleep fallethH5307 upon menH582, in slumberingsH8572 upon the bedH4904;
Then he openethH1540 the earsH241 of menH582, and sealethH2856 their instructionH4561, {he…: Heb. he revealeth, or, uncovereth}
That he may withdrawH5493 manH120 from his purposeH4639, and hideH3680 prideH1466 from manH1397. {purpose: Heb. work}
He keepeth backH2820 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, and his lifeH2416 from perishingH5674 by the swordH7973. {from perishing: Heb. from passing}
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.
If thereH3426 be a messengerH4397 with him, an interpreterH3887, oneH259 among a thousandH505, to shewH5046 unto manH120 his uprightnessH3476:
Then he is graciousH2603 unto him, and saithH559, DeliverH6308 him from going downH3381 to the pitH7845: I have foundH4672 a ransomH3724. {a ransom: or, an atonement}
His fleshH1320 shall be fresherH7375 than a child'sH5290: he shall returnH7725 to the daysH3117 of his youthH5934: {a child's: Heb. childhood}
He shall prayH6279 unto GodH433, and he will be favourableH7521 unto him: and he shall seeH7200 his faceH6440 with joyH8643: for he will renderH7725 unto manH582 his righteousnessH6666.
He lookethH7789 upon menH582, and if any sayH559, I have sinnedH2398, and pervertedH5753 that which was rightH3477, and it profitedH7737 me not; {He…: or, He shall look upon men, and say}
He will deliverH6299 his soulH5315 from goingH5674 into the pitH7845, and his lifeH2416 shall seeH7200 the lightH216. {He…: or, He hath delivered my soul, etc, and my life}
Lo, all these things workethH6466 GodH410 oftentimesH6471+H7969 with manH1397, {oftentimes: Heb. twice and thrice}
To bring backH7725 his soulH5315 from the pitH7845, to be enlightenedH215 with the lightH216 of the livingH2416.
Mark wellH7181, O JobH347, hearkenH8085 unto me: hold thy peaceH2790, and I will speakH1696.
If thou hastH3426 any thing to sayH4405, answerH7725 me: speakH1696, for I desireH2654 to justifyH6663 thee.
If not, hearkenH8085 unto me: hold thy peaceH2790, and I shall teachH502 thee wisdomH2451.
