1 # But Job <0347> answered <06030> (8799) and said <0559> (8799),
2 Hear <08085> (8798) diligently <08085> (8800) my speech <04405>, and let this be your consolations <08575>.
3 Suffer <05375> (8798) me that I may speak <01696> (8762); and after <0310> that I have spoken <01696> (8763), mock on <03932> (8686).
4 As for me, is my complaint <07879> to man <0120>? and if it were so, why should not my spirit <07307> be troubled <07114> (8799)?
5 Mark <06437> (8798) me, and be astonished <08074> (8713), and lay <07760> (8798) your hand <03027> upon your mouth <06310>.
6 Even when I remember <02142> (8804) I am afraid <0926> (8738), and trembling <06427> taketh hold on <0270> (8804) my flesh <01320>.
7 # Wherefore do the wicked <07563> live <02421> (8799), become old <06275> (8804), yea, are mighty <01396> (8804) in power <02428>?
8 Their seed <02233> is established <03559> (8737) in their sight <06440> with them, and their offspring <06631> before their eyes <05869>.
9 Their houses <01004> are safe <07965> from fear <06343>, neither is the rod <07626> of God <0433> upon them.
10 Their bull <07794> gendereth <05674> (8765), and faileth <01602> (8686) not; their cow <06510> calveth <06403> (8762), and casteth not her calf <07921> (8762).
11 They send forth <07971> (8762) their little ones <05759> like a flock <06629>, and their children <03206> dance <07540> (8762).
12 They take <05375> (8799) the timbrel <08596> and harp <03658>, and rejoice <08055> (8799) at the sound <06963> of the organ <05748>.
13 They spend <03615> (8762) (8675) <01086> (8762) their days <03117> in wealth <02896> , and in a moment <07281> go down <02865> (8735) (8676) <05181> (8799) to the grave <07585>.
14 Therefore they say <0559> (8799) unto God <0410>, Depart <05493> (8798) from us; for we desire <02654> (8804) not the knowledge <01847> of thy ways <01870>.
15 What is the Almighty <07706>, that we should serve <05647> (8799) him? and what profit <03276> (8686) should we have, if we pray <06293> (8799) unto him?
16 Lo, their good <02898> is not in their hand <03027>: the counsel <06098> of the wicked <07563> is far <07368> (8804) from me.
17 # How oft is the candle <05216> of the wicked <07563> put out <01846> (8799)! and how oft cometh <0935> (8799) their destruction <0343> upon them! God distributeth <02505> (8762) sorrows <02256> in his anger <0639>.
18 They are as stubble <08401> before <06440> the wind <07307>, and as chaff <04671> that the storm <05492> carrieth away <01589> (8804).
19 God <0433> layeth up <06845> (8799) his iniquity <0205> for his children <01121>: he rewardeth <07999> (8762) him, and he shall know <03045> (8799) it.
20 His eyes <05869> shall see <07200> (8799) his destruction <03589>, and he shall drink <08354> (8799) of the wrath <02534> of the Almighty <07706>.
21 For what pleasure <02656> hath he in his house <01004> after <0310> him, when the number <04557> of his months <02320> is cut off in the midst <02686> (8795)?
22 Shall any teach <03925> (8762) God <0410> knowledge <01847>? seeing he judgeth <08199> (8799) those that are high <07311> (8802).
23 One dieth <04191> (8799) in his full <08537> strength <06106>, being wholly at ease <07946> and quiet <07961>.
24 His breasts <05845> are full <04390> (8804) of milk <02461>, and his bones <06106> are moistened <08248> (8792) with marrow <04221>.
25 And another dieth <04191> (8799) in the bitterness <04751> of his soul <05315>, and never eateth <0398> (8804) with pleasure <02896>.
26 They shall lie down <07901> (8799) alike <03162> in the dust <06083>, and the worms <07415> shall cover <03680> (8762) them.
27 # Behold, I know <03045> (8804) your thoughts <04284>, and the devices <04209> which ye wrongfully imagine <02554> (8799) against me.
28 For ye say <0559> (8799), Where is the house <01004> of the prince <05081>? and where are the dwelling <04908> places <0168> of the wicked <07563>?
29 Have ye not asked <07592> (8804) them that go <05674> (8802) by the way <01870>? and do ye not know <05234> (8762) their tokens <0226>,
30 That the wicked <07451> is reserved <02820> (8735) to the day <03117> of destruction <0343>? they shall be brought forth <02986> (8714) to the day <03117> of wrath <05678>.
31 Who shall declare <05046> (8686) his way <01870> to his face <06440>? and who shall repay <07999> (8762) him what he hath done <06213> (8804)?
32 Yet shall he be brought <02986> (8714) to the grave <06913>, and shall remain <08245> (8799) in the tomb <01430>.
33 The clods <07263> of the valley <05158> shall be sweet <04985> (8804) unto him, and every man <0120> shall draw <04900> (8799) after <0310> him, as there are innumerable <04557> before <06440> him.
34 How then comfort <05162> (8762) ye me in vain <01892>, seeing in your answers <08666> there remaineth <07604> (8738) falsehood <04604>?
