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.

Then he turnedH5437 his faceH6440 to the wallH7023, and prayedH6419 unto the LORDH3068, sayingH559,
I beseechH577 thee, O LORDH3068, rememberH2142 now how I have walkedH1980 beforeH6440 thee in truthH571 and with a perfectH8003 heartH3824, and have doneH6213 that which is goodH2896 in thy sightH5869. And HezekiahH2396 weptH1058+H1065 soreH1419. {sore: Heb. with a great weeping}
And it came to pass, afore IsaiahH3470 was gone outH3318 into the middleH8484 courtH2691+H5892, that the wordH1697 of the LORDH3068 came to him, sayingH559, {court: or, city}
Turn againH7725, and tellH559 HezekiahH2396 the captainH5057 of my peopleH5971, Thus saithH559 the LORDH3068, the GodH430 of DavidH1732 thy fatherH1, I have heardH8085 thy prayerH8605, I have seenH7200 thy tearsH1832: behold, I will healH7495 thee: on the thirdH7992 dayH3117 thou shalt go upH5927 unto the houseH1004 of the LORDH3068.
Therefore takeH3947 unto you now sevenH7651 bullocksH6499 and sevenH7651 ramsH352, and goH3212 to my servantH5650 JobH347, and offer upH5927 for yourselves a burnt offeringH5930; and my servantH5650 JobH347 shall prayH6419 for you: for himH6440 will I acceptH5375: lest I dealH6213 with you after your follyH5039, in that ye have not spokenH1696 of me the thing which is rightH3559, like my servantH5650 JobH347. {him: Heb. his face, or, person}

So EliphazH464 the TemaniteH8489 and BildadH1085 the ShuhiteH7747 and ZopharH6691 the NaamathiteH5284 wentH3212, and didH6213 according as the LORDH3068 commandedH1696 them: the LORDH3068 also acceptedH5375 JobH6440+H347. {Job: Heb. the face of Job}
The LORDH3068 renderH7725 to every manH376 his righteousnessH6666 and his faithfulnessH530: for the LORDH3068 deliveredH5414 thee into my handH3027 to dayH3117, but I wouldH14 not stretch forthH7971 mine handH3027 against the LORD'SH3068 anointedH4899.
And prayedH6419 unto him: and he was intreatedH6279 of him, and heardH8085 his supplicationH8467, and brought him againH7725 to JerusalemH3389 into his kingdomH4438. Then ManassehH4519 knewH3045 that the LORDH3068 he was GodH430.
The LORDH3068 rewardedH1580 me according to my righteousnessH6664; according to the cleannessH1252 of my handsH3027 hath he recompensedH7725 me.
His prayerH8605 also, and how God was intreatedH6279 of him, and all his sinH2403, and his trespassH4604, and the placesH4725 wherein he builtH1129 high placesH1116, and set upH5975 grovesH842 and graven imagesH6456, beforeH6440 he was humbledH3665: behold, they are writtenH3789 among the sayingsH1697 of the seersH2374+H2335. {the seers: or, Hosai}

To the chief MusicianH5329 on NeginothH5058 upon SheminithH8067, A PsalmH4210 of DavidH1732. O LORDH3068, rebukeH3198 me not in thine angerH639, neither chastenH3256 me in thy hot displeasureH2534. {Sheminith: or, upon the eight}
Have mercyH2603 upon me, O LORDH3068; for I am weakH536: O LORDH3068, healH7495 me; for my bonesH6106 are vexedH926.
My soulH5315 is also soreH3966 vexedH926: but thou, O LORDH3068, how long?
ReturnH7725, O LORDH3068, deliverH2502 my soulH5315: oh saveH3467 me for thy mercies'H2617 sake.
For in deathH4194 there is no remembranceH2143 of thee: in the graveH7585 who shall give thee thanksH3034?

There be manyH7227 that sayH559, Who will shewH7200 us any goodH2896? LORDH3068, lift thou upH5375 the lightH216 of thy countenanceH6440 upon us.
If thou sayestH559, Behold, we knewH3045 it not; doth not he that ponderethH8505 the heartH3826 considerH995 it? and he that keepethH5341 thy soulH5315, doth not he knowH3045 it? and shall not he renderH7725 to every manH120 according to his worksH6467?
A Psalm of DavidH1732. Unto thee will I cryH7121, O LORDH3068 my rockH6697; be not silentH2814 to me: lest, if thou be silentH2790 to me, I becomeH4911 like them that go downH3381 into the pitH953. {to me: Heb. from me}

I criedH7121 to thee, O LORDH3068; and unto the LORDH3068 I made supplicationH2603.
What profitH1215 is there in my bloodH1818, when I go downH3381 to the pitH7845? Shall the dustH6083 praiseH3034 thee? shall it declareH5046 thy truthH571?

But thou, O LORDH3068, be mercifulH2603 unto me, and raise me upH6965, that I may requiteH7999 them.
By this I knowH3045 that thou favourestH2654 me, because mine enemyH341 doth not triumphH7321 over me.
Thou hast made knownG1107 to meG3427 the waysG3598 of lifeG2222; thou shalt makeG4137 meG3165 fullG4137 of joyG2167 withG3326 thyG4675 countenanceG4383.
And callH7121 upon me in the dayH3117 of troubleH6869: I will deliverH2502 thee, and thou shalt glorifyH3513 me.
NowG1161 unto him that is ableG1410 to keepG5442 youG5209+G846 from fallingG679, andG2532 to presentG2476 you faultlessG299 before the presenceG2714 of hisG846 gloryG1391 withG1722 exceeding joyG20,

The sorrowsH2256 of deathH4194 compassedH661 me, and the painsH4712 of hellH7585 gat holdH4672 upon me: I foundH4672 troubleH6869 and sorrowH3015. {gat…: Heb. found me}
Then calledH7121 I upon the nameH8034 of the LORDH3068; O LORDH3068, I beseechH577 thee, deliverH4422 my soulH5315.

For the peopleH5971 shall dwellH3427 in ZionH6726 at JerusalemH3389: thou shalt weepH1058 no moreH1058: he will be veryH2603 graciousH2603 unto thee at the voiceH6963 of thy cryH2199; when he shall hearH8085 it, he will answerH6030 thee.

For thou hadst castH7993 me into the deepH4688, in the midstH3824 of the seasH3220; and the floodsH5104 compassedH5437 me about: all thy billowsH4867 and thy wavesH1530 passed overH5674 me. {midst: Heb. heart}
Then I saidH559, I am cast outH1644 of thy sightH5869; yet I will lookH5027 againH3254 toward thy holyH6944 templeH1964.
The watersH4325 compassed me aboutH661, even to the soulH5315: the depthH8415 closed me round aboutH5437, the weedsH5488 were wrapped aboutH2280 my headH7218.
I went downH3381 to the bottomsH7095 of the mountainsH2022; the earthH776 with her barsH1280 was about me for everH5769: yet hast thou brought upH5927 my lifeH2416 from corruptionH7845, O LORDH3068 my GodH430. {bottoms: Heb. cuttings off} {corruption: or, the pit}
When my soulH5315 faintedH5848 within me I rememberedH2142 the LORDH3068: and my prayerH8605 came inH935 unto thee, into thine holyH6944 templeH1964.
