1 Howbeit, Job, I|strong="H1697" pray|strong="H4994" thee|strong="H4994", hear|strong="H8085" my|strong="H8085" speech|strong="H1697", and|strong="H8085" hearken|strong="H8085" to|strong="H8085" all|strong="H3605" my|strong="H8085" words|strong="H1697".
2 Behold|strong="H2009" now|strong="H4994", I|strong="H2009" have|strong="H1696" opened|strong="H6605" my|strong="H6605" mouth|strong="H6310", my|strong="H6605" tongue|strong="H3956" hath|strong="H6310" spoken|strong="H1696" in|strong="H1696" my|strong="H6605" mouth|strong="H6310".
3 My|strong="H1847" words|strong="H8193" shall utter the|strong="H1847" uprightness|strong="H3476" of|strong="H3820" my|strong="H1847" heart|strong="H3820": and|strong="H3820" that|strong="H3820" which my|strong="H1847" lips|strong="H8193" know|strong="H1847" they|strong="H3820" shall|strong="H3820" speak|strong="H4448" sincerely|strong="H1305".
4 The|strong="H6213" spirit|strong="H7307" of|strong="H7307" God hath|strong="H7706" made|strong="H6213" me|strong="H6213", and|strong="H6213" the|strong="H6213" breath|strong="H7307" of|strong="H7307" the|strong="H6213" Almighty|strong="H7706" giveth me|strong="H6213" life|strong="H2421".
5 If thou|strong="H6440" canst|strong="H3201", answer|strong="H7725" thou|strong="H6440" me|strong="H6440"; set|strong="H6186" thy words in|strong="H6440" order|strong="H6186" before|strong="H6440" me|strong="H6440", stand|strong="H3320" forth|strong="H3320".
6 Behold|strong="H2005", I|strong="H2005" am|strong="H2005" toward God even|strong="H1571" as|strong="H1571" thou art: I|strong="H2005" also|strong="H1571" am|strong="H2005" formed|strong="H7169" out of|strong="H6310" the|strong="H1571" clay|strong="H2563".
7 Behold|strong="H2009", my|strong="H5921" terror shall|strong="H3808" not|strong="H3808" make|strong="H3513" thee afraid|strong="H1204", neither|strong="H3808" shall|strong="H3808" my|strong="H5921" pressure be|strong="H3808" heavy|strong="H3513" upon|strong="H5921" thee.
8 Surely|strong="H8085" thou|strong="H8085" hast spoken|strong="H8085" in|strong="H8085" mine hearing|strong="H8085", and|strong="H6963" I|strong="H8085" have|strong="H4405" heard|strong="H8085" the|strong="H8085" voice|strong="H6963" of|strong="H6963" thy words|strong="H4405", saying,
9 I|strong="H3808" am clean|strong="H2134", without|strong="H3808" transgression|strong="H6588"; I|strong="H3808" am innocent|strong="H2643", neither|strong="H3808" is|strong="H5771" there|strong="H1097" iniquity|strong="H5771" in|strong="H3808" me|strong="H3808":
10 Behold|strong="H2005", he|strong="H5921" findeth|strong="H4672" occasions|strong="H8569" against|strong="H5921" me|strong="H5921", he|strong="H5921" counteth|strong="H2803" me|strong="H5921" for|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5921" enemy;
11 He|strong="H3605" putteth|strong="H7760" my|strong="H8104" feet|strong="H7272" in|strong="H7272" the|strong="H3605" stocks|strong="H5465", he|strong="H3605" marketh|strong="H8104" all|strong="H3605" my|strong="H8104" paths.
12 Behold|strong="H2005", I|strong="H3588" will|strong="H3808" answer|strong="H6030" thee|strong="H7235", in|strong="H3808" this|strong="H2063" thou|strong="H3588" art not|strong="H3808" just|strong="H6663"; for|strong="H3588" God|strong="H3808" is|strong="H3808" greater|strong="H7235" than|strong="H7235" man|strong="H6030".
13 Why|strong="H4069" dost thou|strong="H3588" strive|strong="H7378" against|strong="H7378" him|strong="H3605"? for|strong="H3588" he|strong="H3588" giveth|strong="H1697" not|strong="H3808" account|strong="H1697" of|strong="H1697" any|strong="H3605" of|strong="H1697" his|strong="H3605" matters|strong="H1697".
14 For|strong="H3588" God|strong="H3808" speaketh|strong="H1696" once, yea|strong="H3588" twice|strong="H8147", though man regardeth it|strong="H3588" not|strong="H3808".
15 In|strong="H5921" a|strong="H3068" dream|strong="H2472", in|strong="H5921" a|strong="H3068" vision|strong="H2384" of|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" night|strong="H3915", when|strong="H5307" deep|strong="H8639" sleep|strong="H8639" falleth|strong="H5307" upon|strong="H5921" men, in|strong="H5921" slumberings|strong="H8572" upon|strong="H5921" the|strong="H5921" bed|strong="H4904";
16 Then he openeth|strong="H1540" the|strong="H1540" ears of|strong="H1540" men, and sealeth|strong="H2856" their|strong="H1540" instruction|strong="H4561",
17 That|strong="H1397" he may withdraw|strong="H5493" man|strong="H1397" from his purpose|strong="H4639", and|strong="H5493" hide|strong="H3680" pride|strong="H1466" from|strong="H5493" man|strong="H1397";
18 He|strong="H4480" keepeth back|strong="H2820" his|strong="H4480" soul|strong="H5315" from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H4480" pit|strong="H7845", and|strong="H5315" his|strong="H4480" life|strong="H5315" from|strong="H4480" perishing|strong="H5674" by|strong="H5674" the|strong="H4480" sword|strong="H7973".
19 He|strong="H5921" is|strong="H4341" chastened|strong="H3198" also with|strong="H5921" pain|strong="H4341" upon|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5921" bed|strong="H4904", and|strong="H7379" with|strong="H5921" continual strife|strong="H7379" in|strong="H5921" his|strong="H5921" bones|strong="H6106":
20 So that|strong="H5315" his life|strong="H5315" abhorreth|strong="H2092" bread|strong="H3899", and|strong="H3899" his soul|strong="H5315" dainty|strong="H8378" meat|strong="H3978".
21 His|strong="H7200" flesh|strong="H1320" is|strong="H1320" consumed|strong="H3615" away|strong="H3615", that|strong="H7200" it|strong="H7200" cannot|strong="H3808" be|strong="H3808" seen|strong="H7200"; and|strong="H7200" his|strong="H7200" bones|strong="H6106" that|strong="H7200" were|strong="H7200" not|strong="H3808" seen|strong="H7200" stick|strong="H7200" out|strong="H7200".
22 Yea, his|strong="H7126" soul|strong="H5315" draweth|strong="H5315" near|strong="H7126" unto|strong="H5315" the|strong="H7126" pit|strong="H7845", and|strong="H7126" his|strong="H7126" life|strong="H5315" to|strong="H4191" the|strong="H7126" destroyers|strong="H4191".
23 If|strong="H3426" there|strong="H3426" be|strong="H3426" with|strong="H5921" him|strong="H5921" an|strong="H4480" angel|strong="H4397", an|strong="H4480" interpreter|strong="H3887", one|strong="H4480" among|strong="H4480" a|strong="H3068" thousand, to|strong="H5921" shew|strong="H5046" unto|strong="H4397" man what|strong="H3476" is|strong="H3426" right|strong="H3476" for|strong="H5921" him|strong="H5921";
24 Then|strong="H3381" he|strong="H3381" is|strong="H4672" gracious|strong="H2603" unto|strong="H3381" him|strong="H4672", and|strong="H3381" saith, Deliver|strong="H6308" him|strong="H4672" from|strong="H3381" going|strong="H3381" down|strong="H3381" to|strong="H3381" the|strong="H4672" pit|strong="H7845", I|strong="H4672" have|strong="H4672" found|strong="H4672" a|strong="H3068" ransom|strong="H3724".
25 His|strong="H7725" flesh|strong="H1320" shall|strong="H3117" be|strong="H3117" fresher|strong="H7375" than a|strong="H3068" child|strong="H5290"’s; he|strong="H3117" returneth|strong="H7725" to|strong="H7725" the|strong="H7725" days|strong="H3117" of|strong="H3117" his|strong="H7725" youth|strong="H5934":
26 He|strong="H6440" prayeth unto|strong="H7725" God, and|strong="H7725" he|strong="H6440" is|strong="H6440" favourable|strong="H7521" unto|strong="H7725" him|strong="H6440"; so|strong="H7725" that|strong="H7200" he|strong="H6440" seeth|strong="H7200" his|strong="H7725" face|strong="H6440" with|strong="H6440" joy|strong="H8643": and|strong="H7725" he|strong="H6440" restoreth|strong="H7725" unto|strong="H7725" man|strong="H6440" his|strong="H7725" righteousness|strong="H6666".
27 He|strong="H3808" singeth before|strong="H5921" men, and|strong="H2398" saith, I|strong="H5921" have|strong="H3808" sinned|strong="H2398", and|strong="H2398" perverted|strong="H5753" that|strong="H3808" which|strong="H3477" was|strong="H3477" right|strong="H3477", and|strong="H2398" it|strong="H5921" profited|strong="H7737" me|strong="H5921" not|strong="H3808":
28 He|strong="H5315" hath|strong="H5315" redeemed|strong="H6299" my|strong="H7200" soul|strong="H5315" from|strong="H5315" going|strong="H5674" into|strong="H2416" the|strong="H7200" pit|strong="H7845", and|strong="H7200" my|strong="H7200" life|strong="H5315" shall|strong="H5315" behold|strong="H7200" the|strong="H7200" light.
29 Lo|strong="H2005", all|strong="H3605" these|strong="H3605" things|strong="H3605" doth God work|strong="H6466", twice|strong="H6471", yea thrice|strong="H6471", with|strong="H5973" a|strong="H3068" man|strong="H1397",
30 To|strong="H7725" bring|strong="H7725" back|strong="H7725" his|strong="H7725" soul|strong="H5315" from|strong="H4480" the|strong="H4480" pit|strong="H7845", that|strong="H5315" he|strong="H4480" may|strong="H5315" be|strong="H5315" enlightened with|strong="H5315" the|strong="H4480" light of|strong="H4480" the|strong="H4480" living|strong="H2416".
31 Mark well|strong="H7181", O|strong="H3068" Job, hearken|strong="H8085" unto|strong="H1696" me|strong="H1696": hold thy|strong="H8085" peace|strong="H2790", and|strong="H8085" I|strong="H8085" will|strong="H8085" speak|strong="H1696".
32 If|strong="H3588" thou|strong="H3588" hast|strong="H3426" any|strong="H3426" thing|strong="H3588" to|strong="H1696" say|strong="H1696", answer|strong="H7725" me|strong="H7725": speak|strong="H1696", for|strong="H3588" I|strong="H3588" desire|strong="H2654" to|strong="H1696" justify|strong="H6663" thee|strong="H7725".
33 If not|strong="H8085", hearken|strong="H8085" thou|strong="H8085" unto|strong="H8085" me|strong="H2451": hold thy|strong="H8085" peace|strong="H2790", and|strong="H2451" I|strong="H8085" will|strong="H8085" teach thee|strong="H8085" wisdom|strong="H2451".
