1Hear therefore, O Job, my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
1Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear mine utterances, and hearken to all my words.
2Behold now I have opened my mouth, let my tongue speak within my jaws.
2Behold now, I have opened my mouth, my tongue speaketh in my palate,
3My words are from my upright heart, and my lips shall speak a pure sentence.
3My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart, and my lips shall utter knowledge purely.
4The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty gave me life.
4The Spirit ofGod hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5If thou canst, answer me, and stand up against my face.
5If thou canst, answer me; array [thy words] before me: take thy stand.
6Behold God hath made me as well as thee, and of the same clay I also was formed.
6Behold, beforeGod I am as thou; I also am formed out of the clay.
7But yet let not my wonder terrify thee, and let not my eloquence be burdensome to thee.
7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, nor my burden be heavy upon thee.
8Now thou hast said in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words:
8Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, and I have heard the voice of [thy] words: —
9I am clean, and without sin: I am unspotted, and there is no iniquity in me.
9I am clean without transgression; I am pure, and there is no iniquity in me;
10Because he hath found complaints against me, therefore he hath counted me for his enemy.
10Lo, he findeth occasions of hostility against me, he counteth me for his enemy;
11He hath put my feet in the stocks, he hath observed all my paths.
11He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
12Now this is the thing in which thou art not justified: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
12Behold, I will answer thee in this, thou art not right; forGod is greater than man.
13Dost thou strive against him, because he hath not answered thee to all words?
13Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
14God speaketh once, and repeateth not the selfsame thing the second time.
14ForGod speaketh once, and twice, — [and man] perceiveth it not —
15By a dream in a vision by night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, and they are sleeping in their beds:
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16Then he openeth the ears of men, and teaching instructeth them in what they are to learn.
16Then he openeth men's ears, and sealeth their instruction,
17That he may withdraw a man from the things he is doing, and may deliver him from pride.
17That he may withdraw man [from his] work, and hide pride from man.
18Rescuing his soul from corruption: and his life from passing to the sword.
18He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from passing away by the sword.
19He rebuketh also by sorrow in the bed, and he maketh all his bones to wither.
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and with constant strife in his bones;
20Bread becometh abominable to him in his life, and to his soul the meat which before he desired.
20And his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty food;
21His flesh shall be consumed away, and his bones that were covered shall be made bare.
21His flesh is consumed away from view, and his bones that were not seen stick out;
22His soul hath drawn near to corruption, and his life to the destroyers.
22And his soul draweth near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.
23If there shall be an angel speaking for him, one among thousands, to declare man's uprightness,
23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his duty;
24He shall have mercy on him, and shall say: Deliver him, that he may not go down to corruption: I have found wherein I may be merciful to him.
24Then he will be gracious unto him, and say, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25His flesh is consumed with punishments, let him return to the days of his youth.
25His flesh shall be fresher than in childhood; he shall return to the days of his youth.
26He shall pray to God, and he will be gracious to him: and he shall see his face with joy, and he will render to man his justice.
26He shall pray untoGod, and he will receive him with favour; and he shall see his face with shoutings, and he will render unto man his righteousness.
27He shall look upon men, and shall say: I have sinned, and indeed I have offended, and I have not received what I have deserved.
27He will sing before men, and say, I have sinned, and perverted what was right, and it hath not been requited to me;
28He hath delivered his soul from going into destruction, that it may live and see the light.
28He hath delivered my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall see the light.
29Behold, all these things God worketh three times within every one.
29Lo, all these [things] workethGod twice, thrice, with man,
30That he may withdraw their souls from corruption, and enlighten them with the light of the living.
30To bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.
31Attend, Job, and hearken to me, and hold thy peace, whilst I speak.
31Mark well, Job, hearken unto me; be silent, and I will speak.
