2Till when do ye afflict my soul, And bruise me with words?
2How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words?
3These ten times ye put me to shame, ye blush not. Ye make yourselves strange to me--
3Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me.
4And also--truly, I have erred, With me doth my error remain.
4For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me.
5If, truly, over me ye magnify yourselves, And decide against me my reproach;
5But you set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches.
6Know now, that God turned me upside down, And His net against me hath set round,
6At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.
7Lo, I cry out--violence, and am not answered, I cry aloud, and there is no judgment.
7Behold I shall cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.
8My way He hedged up, and I pass not over, And on my paths darkness He placeth.
8He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness.
9Mine honour from off me He hath stripped, And He turneth the crown from my head.
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head.
10He breaketh me down round about, and I go, And removeth like a tree my hope.
10He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.
11And He kindleth against me His anger, And reckoneth me to Him as His adversaries.
11His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy.
12Come in do His troops together, And they raise up against me their way, And encamp round about my tent.
12His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.
13My brethren from me He hath put far off, And mine acquaintances surely Have been estranged from me.
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me.
14Ceased have my neighbours And my familiar friends have forgotten me,
14My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me.
15Sojourners of my house and my maids, For a stranger reckon me: An alien I have been in their eyes.
15They that dwell in my house, and my maidservants have counted me as a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.
16To my servant I have called, And he doth not answer, With my mouth I make supplication to him.
16I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth.
17My spirit is strange to my wife, And my favours to the sons of my <FI>mother's<Fi> womb.
17My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.
18Also sucklings have despised me, I rise, and they speak against me.
18Even fools despised me, and when I was gone from them, they spoke against me.
19Abominate me do all the men of my counsel, And those I have loved, Have been turned against me.
19They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I loved most is turned against me.
20To my skin and to my flesh Cleaved hath my bone, And I deliver myself with the skin of my teeth.
20The flesh being consumed, my bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth.
21Pity me, pity me, ye my friends, For the hand of God hath stricken against me.
21Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.
22Why do you pursue me as God? And with my flesh are not satisfied?
22Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh?
23Who doth grant now, That my words may be written? Who doth grant that in a book they may be graven?
23Who will grant me that my words may be written? who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book?
24With a pen of iron and lead--For ever in a rock they may be hewn.
24With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone?
25That--I have known my Redeemer, The Living and the Last, For the dust he doth rise.
25For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.
26And after my skin hath compassed this <FI>body<Fi> , Then from my flesh I see God:
26And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I shall see my God.
27Whom I--I see on my side, And mine eyes have beheld, and not a stranger, Consumed have been my reins in my bosom.
27Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.
