1And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and <FI>to<Fi> all my words give ear.
1Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.
2Lo, I pray thee, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the palate.
2Behold now, I have opened my mouth; My tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
3Of the uprightness of my heart <FI>are<Fi> my sayings, And knowledge have my lips clearly spoken.
3My wordsshall utterthe uprightness of my heart; And that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.
4The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Mighty doth quicken me.
4The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.
5If thou art able--answer me, Set in array before me--station thyself.
5If thou canst, answer thou me; Setthy wordsin order before me, stand forth.
6Lo, I <FI>am<Fi> , according to thy word, for God, From the clay I--I also, have been formed.
6Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.
7Lo, my terror doth not frighten thee, And my burden on thee is not heavy.
7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.
8Surely--thou hast said in mine ears, And the sounds of words I hear:
8Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice ofthywords, saying,
9`Pure <FI>am<Fi> I, without transgression, Innocent <FI>am<Fi> I, and I have no iniquity.
9I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:
10Lo, occasions against me He doth find, He doth reckon me for an enemy to Him,
10Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy;
11He doth put in the stocks my feet, He doth watch all my paths.'
11He putteth my feet in the stocks, He marketh all my paths.
12Lo, <FI>in<Fi> this thou hast not been righteous, I answer thee, that greater is God than man.
12Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man.
13Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When <FI>for<Fi> all His matters He answereth not?
13Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?
14For once doth God speak, and twice, (He doth not behold it.)
14For God speaketh once, Yea twice, though man regardeth it not.
15In a dream--a vision of night, In the falling of deep sleep on men, In slumberings on a bed.
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed;
16Then He uncovereth the ear of men, And for their instruction sealeth:
16Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,
17To turn aside man <FI>from<Fi> doing, And pride from man He concealeth.
17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, And hide pride from man;
18He keepeth back his soul from corruption, And his life from passing away by a dart.
18He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.
19And he hath been reproved With pain on his bed, And the strife of his bones <FI>is<Fi> enduring.
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;
20And his life hath nauseated bread, And his soul desirable food.
20So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty food.
21His flesh is consumed from being seen, And high are his bones, they were not seen!
21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones that were not seen stick out.
22And draw near to the pit doth his soul, And his life to those causing death.
22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers.
23If there is by him a messenger, An interpreter--one of a thousand, To declare for man his uprightness:
23If there be with him an angel, An interpreter, one among a thousand, To show unto man what is right for him;
24Then He doth favour him and saith, `Ransom him from going down to the pit, I have found an atonement.'
24ThenGodis gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit, I have found a ransom.
25Fresher <FI>is<Fi> his flesh than a child's, He returneth to the days of his youth.
25His flesh shall be fresher than a child’s; He returneth to the days of his youth.
26He maketh supplication unto God, And He accepteth him. And he seeth His face with shouting, And He returneth to man His righteousness.
26He prayeth unto God, and he is favorable unto him, So that he seeth his face with joy: And he restoreth unto man his righteousness.
27He looketh on men, and saith, `I sinned, And uprightness I have perverted, And it hath not been profitable to me.
27He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not:
28He hath ransomed my soul From going over into the pit, And my life on the light looketh.'
28He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light.
29Lo, all these doth God work, Twice--thrice with man,
29Lo, all these things doth God work, Twice, yea thrice, with a man,
30To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened 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, O Job, hearken to me, Keep silent, and I--I do speak.
31Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will speak.
