1 # Then Job <0347> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799),
2 I know <03045> (8804) it is so of a truth <0551>: but how should man <0582> be just <06663> (8799) with God <0410>?
3 If he will <02654> (8799) contend <07378> (8800) with him, he cannot answer <06030> (8799) him one <0259> of a thousand <0505>.
4 He is wise <02450> in heart <03824>, and mighty <0533> in strength <03581>: who hath hardened <07185> (8689) himself against him, and hath prospered <07999> (8799)?
5 Which removeth <06275> (8688) the mountains <02022>, and they know <03045> (8804) not: which overturneth <02015> (8804) them in his anger <0639>.
6 Which shaketh <07264> (8688) the earth <0776> out of her place <04725>, and the pillars <05982> thereof tremble <06426> (8691).
7 Which commandeth <0559> (8802) the sun <02775>, and it riseth <02224> (8799) not; and sealeth up <02856> (8799) the stars <03556>.
8 Which alone spreadeth out <05186> (8802) the heavens <08064>, and treadeth <01869> (8802) upon the waves <01116> of the sea <03220>.
9 Which maketh <06213> (8802) Arcturus <05906>, Orion <03685>, and Pleiades <03598>, and the chambers <02315> of the south <08486>.
10 Which doeth <06213> (8802) great things <01419> past <0369> finding out <02714>; yea, and wonders <06381> (8737) without number <04557>.
11 Lo, he goeth <05674> (8799) by me, and I see <07200> (8799) him not: he passeth on <02498> (8799) also, but I perceive <0995> (8799) him not.
12 Behold, he taketh away <02862> (8799), who can hinder <07725> (8686) him? who will say <0559> (8799) unto him, What doest <06213> (8799) thou?
13 If God <0433> will not withdraw <07725> (8686) his anger <0639>, the proud <07293> helpers <05826> (8802) do stoop <07817> (8804) under him.
14 # How much less shall I answer <06030> (8799) him, and choose out <0977> (8799) my words <01697> to reason with him?
15 Whom, though I were righteous <06663> (8804), yet would I not answer <06030> (8799), but I would make supplication <02603> (8691) to my judge <08199> (8781).
16 If I had called <07121> (8804), and he had answered <06030> (8799) me; yet would I not believe <0539> (8686) that he had hearkened <0238> (8686) unto my voice <06963>.
17 For he breaketh <07779> (8799) me with a tempest <08183>, and multiplieth <07235> (8689) my wounds <06482> without cause <02600>.
18 He will not suffer <05414> (8799) me to take <07725> (8687) my breath <07307>, but filleth <07646> (8686) me with bitterness <04472>.
19 If I speak of strength <03581>, lo, he is strong <0533>: and if of judgment <04941>, who shall set <03259> (8686) me a time to plead?
20 If I justify <06663> (8799) myself, mine own mouth <06310> shall condemn <07561> (8686) me: if I say , I am perfect <08535>, it shall also prove me perverse <06140> (8799).
21 Though I were perfect <08535>, yet would I not know <03045> (8799) my soul <05315>: I would despise <03988> (8799) my life <02416>.
22 # This is one <0259> thing, therefore I said <0559> (8804) it, He destroyeth <03615> (8764) the perfect <08535> and the wicked <07563>.
23 If the scourge <07752> slay <04191> (8686) suddenly <06597>, he will laugh <03932> (8799) at the trial <04531> of the innocent <05355>.
24 The earth <0776> is given <05414> (8738) into the hand <03027> of the wicked <07563>: he covereth <03680> (8762) the faces <06440> of the judges <08199> (8802) thereof; if not, where <0645>, and who is he?
25 # Now my days <03117> are swifter <07043> (8804) than a post <07323> (8801): they flee away <01272> (8804), they see <07200> (8804) no good <02896>.
26 They are passed away <02498> (8804) as <05973> the swift <016> ships <0591>: as the eagle <05404> that hasteth <02907> (8799) to the prey <0400>.
27 If I say <0559> (8800), I will forget <07911> (8799) my complaint <07879>, I will leave off <05800> (8799) my heaviness <06440>, and comfort <01082> (8686) myself:
28 I am afraid <03025> (8804) of all my sorrows <06094>, I know <03045> (8804) that thou wilt not hold me innocent <05352> (8762).
29 If I be wicked <07561> (8799), why then labour <03021> (8799) I in vain <01892>?
30 If I wash <07364> (8694) myself with <07950> snow water <04325> <01119>, and make my hands <03709> never <01252> (8676) <01253> so clean <02141> (8689);
31 Yet <0227> shalt thou plunge <02881> (8799) me in the ditch <07845>, and mine own clothes <08008> shall abhor <08581> (8765) me.
32 For he is not a man <0376>, as I am, that I should answer <06030> (8799) him, and we should come <0935> (8799) together <03162> in judgment <04941>.
33 Neither is <03426> there any daysman <03198> (8688) betwixt us, that might lay <07896> (8799) his hand <03027> upon us both <08147>.
34 Let him take <05493> <00> his rod <07626> away <05493> (8686) from me, and let not his fear <0367> terrify <01204> (8762) me:
35 Then would I speak <01696> (8762), and not fear <03372> (8799) him; but it is not so with me.
