Then Job³⁴⁷ answered⁶⁰³⁰ and said,⁵⁵⁹

I have heard⁸⁰⁸⁵ many⁷²²⁷ such things: miserable⁵⁹⁹⁹ comforters⁵¹⁶² are ye all.

Shall vain⁷³⁰⁷ words¹⁶⁹⁷ have an end?⁷⁰⁹³ or what emboldeneth⁴⁸³⁴ thee that thou answerest?⁶⁰³⁰

I also could speak¹⁶⁹⁶ as ye do: if³⁸⁶³ your soul⁵³¹⁵ were³⁴²⁶ in my soul's⁵³¹⁵ stead, I could heap up²²⁶⁶ words⁴⁴⁰⁵ against you, and shake⁵¹²⁸ mine head⁷²¹⁸ at you.¹¹¹⁹

Exodus 23:13

But I would strengthen⁵⁵³ you with¹¹¹⁹ my mouth,⁶³¹⁰ and the moving⁵²⁰⁵ of my lips⁸¹⁹³ should asswage²⁸²⁰ your grief.

Though I speak,¹⁶⁹⁶ my grief³⁵¹¹ is not asswaged:²⁸²⁰ and though I forbear,²³⁰⁸ what am I eased?¹⁹⁸⁰

But now he hath made me weary:³⁸¹¹ thou hast made desolate⁸⁰⁷⁴ all my company.⁵⁷¹²

And thou hast filled me with wrinkles,⁷⁰⁵⁹ which is a witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ against me: and my leanness³⁵⁸⁵ rising up⁶⁹⁶⁵ in me beareth witness⁶⁰³⁰ to my face.⁶⁴⁴⁰

He teareth²⁹⁶³ me in his wrath,⁶³⁹ who hateth⁷⁸⁵² me: he gnasheth²⁷⁸⁶ upon me with his teeth;⁸¹²⁷ mine enemy⁶⁸⁶² sharpeneth³⁹¹³ his eyes⁵⁸⁶⁹ upon me.

They have gaped⁶⁴⁷³ upon me with their mouth;⁶³¹⁰ they have smitten⁵²²¹ me upon the cheek³⁸⁹⁵ reproachfully;²⁷⁸¹ they have gathered⁴³⁹⁰ themselves together³¹⁶² against me.

El⁴¹⁰ hath delivered⁵⁴⁶² me to the unrighteous,⁵⁷⁶⁰ and turned me over³³⁹⁹ into the hands³⁰²⁷ of the wicked.⁷⁵⁶³

I was at ease,⁷⁹⁶¹ but he hath broken me asunder:⁶⁵⁶⁵ he hath also taken²⁷⁰ me by my neck,⁶²⁰³ and shaken me to pieces,⁶³²⁷ and set me up⁶⁹⁶⁵ for his mark.⁴³⁰⁷

His archers⁷²²⁸ compass me round about,⁵⁴³⁷ he cleaveth⁶³⁹⁸ my reins³⁶²⁹ asunder, and doth not spare;²⁵⁵⁰ he poureth out⁸²¹⁰ my gall⁴⁸⁴⁵ upon the ground.⁷⁷⁶

He breaketh⁶⁵⁵⁵ me with breach⁶⁵⁵⁶ upon⁶⁴⁴⁰ breach,⁶⁵⁵⁶ he runneth⁷³²³ upon me like a giant.¹³⁶⁸

I have sewed⁸⁶⁰⁹ sackcloth⁸²⁴² upon my skin,¹⁵³⁹ and defiled⁵⁹⁵³ my horn⁷¹⁶¹ in the dust.⁶⁰⁸³

My face⁶⁴⁴⁰ is foul²⁵⁶⁰ with weeping,¹⁰⁶⁵ and on my eyelids⁶⁰⁷⁹ is the shadow of death;⁶⁷⁵⁷

Not for any injustice²⁵⁵⁵ in mine hands:³⁷⁰⁹ also my prayer⁸⁶⁰⁵ is pure.²¹³⁴

O earth,⁷⁷⁶ cover³⁶⁸⁰ not thou my blood,¹⁸¹⁸ and let my cry²²⁰¹ have no place.⁴⁷²⁵

Also now, behold, my witness⁵⁷⁰⁷ is in heaven,⁸⁰⁶⁴ and my record⁷⁷¹⁷ is on high.⁴⁷⁹¹

My friends⁷⁴⁵³ scorn³⁸⁸⁷ me: but mine eye⁵⁸⁶⁹ poureth out¹⁸¹¹ tears unto Eloah.⁴³³

O that one might plead³¹⁹⁸ for a man¹³⁹⁷ with Eloah,⁴³³ as a man¹¹²¹ pleadeth for his neighbour!⁷⁴⁵³

When a few⁴⁵⁵⁷ years⁸¹⁴¹ are come,⁸⁵⁷ then I shall go¹⁹⁸⁰ the way⁷³⁴ whence I shall not return.⁷⁷²⁵
