Wherefore, 199 Job, 347 I pray thee, hear 8085-3 my speeches, 4405 and hearken 238-54 to all my words. 1697 |
| 2 |
Behold, now I have opened 6605-1 my mouth, 6310 my tongue 3956 hath spoken 1696-14 in my mouth. 2441 |
| 3 |
My words 561 [shall be of] the uprightness 3476 of my heart: 3820 and my lips 8193 shall utter 4448-14 knowledge 1847 clearly. 1305-7 |
| 4 |
The Spirit 7307 of God 410 hath made 6213-1 me, and the breath 5397 of the Almighty 7706 hath given me life. 2421-17 |
| 5 |
If thou canst 3201-4 answer 7725-53 me, set [thy words] in order 6186-3 before 6440 me, stand up. 3320-100 |
| 6 |
Behold, I [am] according to thy wish 6310 in God's 410 stead: I also am formed 7169-27 out of the clay. 2563 |
| 7 |
Behold, my terror 367 shall not make thee afraid, 1204-17 neither shall my hand 405 be heavy 3513-4 upon thee. |
| 8 |
Surely thou hast spoken 559-1 in mine hearing, 241 and I have heard 8085-4 the voice 6963 of [thy] words, 4405 [saying], |
| 9 |
I am clean 2134 without transgression, 6588 I [am] innocent; 2643 neither [is there] iniquity 5771 in me. |
| 10 |
Behold, he findeth 4672-4 occasions 8569 against me, he counteth 2803-4 me for his enemy, 341-6 |
| 11 |
He putteth 7760-4 my feet 7272 in the stocks, 5465 he marketh 8104-4 all my paths. 734 |
| 12 |
Behold, [in] this thou art not just: 6663-1 I will answer 6030-4 thee, that God 433 is greater 7235-4 than man. 582 |
| 13 |
Why dost thou strive 7378-1 against him? for he giveth not account 6030-4 of any of his matters. 1697 |
| 14 |
For God 410 speaketh 1696-17 once, 259 yea twice, 8147 [yet man] perceiveth 7789-4 it not. |
| 15 |
In a dream, 2472 in a vision 2384 of the night, 3915 when deep sleep 8639 falleth 5307-2 upon men, 582 in slumberings 8572 upon the bed; 4904 |
| 16 |
Then he openeth 1540-4 the ears 241 of men, 582 and sealeth 2856-4 their instruction, 4561 |
| 17 |
That he may withdraw 5493-53 man 120 [from his] purpose, 4639 and hide 3680-17 pride 1466 from man. 1397 |
| 18 |
He keepeth back 2820-4 his soul 5315 from the pit, 7845 and his life 2416 from perishing 5674-2 by the sword. 7973 |
| 19 |
He is chastened 3198-90 also with pain 4341 upon his bed, 4904 and the multitude 7230|7379-k of his bones 6106 with strong 386 [pain]: |
| 20 |
So that his life 2416 abhorreth 2092-14 bread, 3899 and his soul 5315 dainty 8378 meat. 3978 |
| 21 |
His flesh 1320 is consumed away, 3615-4 that it cannot be seen; 7210 and his bones 6106 [that] were not seen 7200-27 stick out. 8192-27|8205-k |
| 22 |
Yea, his soul 5315 draweth near 7126-4 unto the grave, 7845 and his life 2416 to the destroyers. 4191-56 |
| 23 |
If there be 3426 a messenger 4397 with him, an interpreter, 3887-56 one 259 among a thousand, 505 to shew 5046-53 unto man 120 his uprightness: 3476 |
| 24 |
Then he is gracious 2603-4 unto him, and saith, 559-4 Deliver 6308-3 him from going down 3381-2 to the pit: 7845 I have found 4672-1 a ransom. 3724 |
| 25 |
His flesh 1320 shall be fresher 7375-1 than a child's: 5290 he shall return 7725-4 to the days 3117 of his youth: 5934 |
| 26 |
He shall pray 6279-4 unto God, 433 and he will be favourable 7521-4 unto him: and he shall see 7200-4 his face 6440 with joy: 8643 for he will render 7725-55 unto man 582 his righteousness. 6666 |
| 27 |
He looketh 7789-4 upon men, 582 and [if any] say, 559-4 I have sinned, 2398-1 and perverted 5753-52 [that which was] right, 3477 and it profited 7737-1 me not; |
| 28 |
He will deliver 6299-1 his soul 5315 from going 5674-2 into the pit, 7845 and his life 2416 shall see 7200-4 the light. 216 |
| 29 |
Lo, all these [things] worketh 6466-4 God 410 oftentimes 6471 7969 with man, 1397 |
| 30 |
To bring back 7725-53 his soul 5315 from the pit, 7845 to be enlightened 215-9 with the light 216 of the living. 2416 |
| 31 |
Mark well, 7181-54 O Job, 347 hearken 8085-3 unto me: hold thy peace, 2790-54 and I will speak. 1696-17 |
| 32 |
If thou hast 3426 any thing to say, 4405 answer 7725-54 me: speak, 1696-16 for I desire 2654-1 to justify 6663-15 thee. |
| 33 |
If not, hearken 8085-3 unto me: hold thy peace, 2790-54 and I shall teach 502-17 thee wisdom. 2451 |
