1 # Wherefore <0199>, Job <0347>, I pray thee, hear <08085> (8798) my speeches <04405>, and hearken <0238> (8685) to all my words <01697>.
2 Behold, now I have opened <06605> (8804) my mouth <06310>, my tongue <03956> hath spoken <01696> (8765) in my mouth <02441>.
3 My words <0561> shall be of the uprightness <03476> of my heart <03820>: and my lips <08193> shall utter <04448> (8765) knowledge <01847> clearly <01305> (8803).
4 The Spirit <07307> of God <0410> hath made <06213> (8804) me, and the breath <05397> of the Almighty <07706> hath given me life <02421> (8762).
 - SPIRIT OF GOD
5 If thou canst <03201> (8799) answer <07725> (8687) me, set thy words in order <06186> (8798) before <06440> me, stand up <03320> (8690).
6 Behold, I am according to thy wish <06310> in God's <0410> stead: I also am formed <07169> (8795) out of the clay <02563>.
7 Behold, my terror <0367> shall not make thee afraid <01204> (8762), neither shall my hand <0405> be heavy <03513> (8799) upon thee.
8 # Surely thou hast spoken <0559> (8804) in mine hearing <0241>, and I have heard <08085> (8799) the voice <06963> of thy words <04405>, saying,
9 I am clean <02134> without transgression <06588>, I am innocent <02643>; neither is there iniquity <05771> in me.
10 Behold, he findeth <04672> (8799) occasions <08569> against me, he counteth <02803> (8799) me for his enemy <0341> (8802),
11 He putteth <07760> (8799) my feet <07272> in the stocks <05465>, he marketh <08104> (8799) all my paths <0734>.
12 Behold, in this thou art not just <06663> (8804): I will answer <06030> (8799) thee, that God <0433> is greater <07235> (8799) than man <0582>.
13 Why dost thou strive <07378> (8804) against him? for he giveth not account <06030> (8799) of any of his matters <01697>.
14 # For God <0410> speaketh <01696> (8762) once <0259>, yea twice <08147>, yet man perceiveth <07789> (8799) it not.
15 In a dream <02472>, in a vision <02384> of the night <03915>, when deep <08639> sleep falleth <05307> (8800) upon men <0582>, in slumberings <08572> upon the bed <04904>;
16 Then he openeth <01540> (8799) the ears <0241> of men <0582>, and sealeth <02856> (8799) their instruction <04561>,
17 That he may withdraw <05493> (8687) man <0120> from his purpose <04639>, and hide <03680> (8762) pride <01466> from man <01397>.
18 He keepeth back <02820> (8799) his soul <05315> from the pit <07845>, and his life <02416> from perishing <05674> (8800) by the sword <07973>.
19 # He is chastened <03198> (8717) also with pain <04341> upon his bed <04904>, and the multitude <07230> (8675) <07379> of his bones <06106> with strong <0386> pain:
20 So that his life <02416> abhorreth <02092> (8765) bread <03899>, and his soul <05315> dainty <08378> meat <03978>.
21 His flesh <01320> is consumed away <03615> (8799), that it cannot be seen <07210>; and his bones <06106> that were not seen <07200> (8795) stick out <08192> (8795) (8675) <08205>.
22 Yea, his soul <05315> draweth near <07126> (8799) unto the grave <07845>, and his life <02416> to the destroyers <04191> (8688).
23 If there <03426> be a messenger <04397> with him, an interpreter <03887> (8688), one <0259> among a thousand <0505>, to shew <05046> (8687) unto man <0120> his uprightness <03476>:
24 Then he is gracious <02603> (8799) unto him, and saith <0559> (8799), Deliver <06308> (8798) him from going down <03381> (8800) to the pit <07845>: I have found <04672> (8804) a ransom <03724>.
25 His flesh <01320> shall be fresher <07375> (8738) than a child's <05290>: he shall return <07725> (8799) to the days <03117> of his youth <05934>:
26 He shall pray <06279> (8799) unto God <0433>, and he will be favourable <07521> (8799) unto him: and he shall see <07200> (8799) his face <06440> with joy <08643>: for he will render <07725> (8686) unto man <0582> his righteousness <06666>.
27 He looketh <07789> (8799) upon men <0582>, and if any say <0559> (8799), I have sinned <02398> (8804), and perverted <05753> (8689) that which was right <03477>, and it profited <07737> (8804) me not;
28 He will deliver <06299> (8804) his soul <05315> from going <05674> (8800) into the pit <07845>, and his life <02416> shall see <07200> (8799) the light <0216>.
29 # Lo, all these things worketh <06466> (8799) God <0410> oftentimes <06471> <07969> with man <01397>,
30 To bring back <07725> (8687) his soul <05315> from the pit <07845>, to be enlightened <0215> (8736) with the light <0216> of the living <02416>.
31 Mark well <07181> (8685), O Job <0347>, hearken <08085> (8798) unto me: hold thy peace <02790> (8685), and I will speak <01696> (8762).
32 If thou hast <03426> any thing to say <04405>, answer <07725> (8685) me: speak <01696> (8761), for I desire <02654> (8804) to justify <06663> (8763) thee.
33 If not, hearken <08085> (8798) unto me: hold thy peace <02790> (8685), and I shall teach <0502> (8762) thee wisdom <02451>.
