[1]Then JobH347 answeredH6030[H8799] H559and saidH8799
[2]I have heardH8085[H8804] many such thingsH7227: miserableH5999 comfortersH5162 are ye allH8764.
[3]Shall vainH7307 wordsH1697 have an endH7093? or what emboldenethH4834[H8686] thee that thou answerestH6030?[H8799]
[4]I also could speakH1696[H8762] as ye do: ifH3863 your soulH5315 wereH3426 in my soul'sH5315 stead, I could heap upH2266[H8686] wordsH4405 against you, and shakeH5128[H8686] mine headH7218 at youH1119.
[5]But I would strengthenH553[H8762] you withH1119 my mouthH6310, and the movingH5205 of my lipsH8193 should asswageH2820 your griefH8799.
[6]Though I speakH1696[H8762], my griefH3511 is not asswagedH2820[H8735]: and though I forbearH2308[H8799], what am I easedH1980?[H8799]
[7]But now he hath made me wearyH3811[H8689]: thou hast made desolateH8074[H8689] all my companyH5712.
[8]And thou hast filled me with wrinklesH7059[H8799], which is a witnessH5707 against me: and my leannessH3585 rising upH6965[H8799] in me beareth witnessH6030[H8799] to my faceH6440.
[9]He tearethH2963[H8804] me in his wrathH639, who hatethH7852[H8799] me: he gnashethH2786[H8804] upon me with his teethH8127; mine enemyH6862 sharpenethH3913[H8799] his eyes upon meH5869.
[10]They have gapedH6473[H8804] upon me with their mouthH6310; they have smittenH5221[H8689] me upon the cheekH3895 reproachfullyH2781; they have gatheredH4390[H8691] themselves together against meH3162.
[11]GodH410 hath deliveredH5462[H8686] me to the ungodlyH5760, and turned me overH3399[H8804] into the handsH3027 of the wickedH7563.
[12]I was at easeH7961, but he hath broken me asunderH6565[H8770]: he hath also takenH270[H8804] me by my neckH6203, and shaken me to piecesH6327[H8770], and set me upH6965[H8686] for his markH4307.
[13]His archersH7228 compass me round aboutH5437[H8799], he cleavethH6398 my reinsH3629 asunderH6398[H8762], and doth not spareH2550[H8799]; he poureth outH8210[H8799] my gallH4845 upon the groundH776.
[14]He breakethH6555[H8799] me with breachH6556 uponH6440 breachH6556, he runnethH7323[H8799] upon me like a giantH1368.
[15]I have sewedH8609[H8804] sackclothH8242 upon my skinH1539, and defiledH5953[H8782] my hornH7161 in the dustH6083.
[16]My faceH6440 is foulH2560[H8777] with weepingH1065, and on my eyelidsH6079 is the shadow of deathH6757;
[17]Not for any injusticeH2555 in mine handsH3709: also my prayerH8605 is pureH2134.
[18]O earthH776, coverH3680[H8762] not thou my bloodH1818, and let my cryH2201 have no placeH4725.
[19]Also now, behold, my witnessH5707 is in heavenH8064, and my recordH7717 is on highH4791.
[20]My friendsH7453 scornH3887[H8688] me: but mine eyeH5869 poureth outH1811[H8804] tears unto GodH433.
[21]O that one might pleadH3198[H8686] for a manH1397 with GodH433, as a manH120 H1121pleadeth for his neighbourH7453
[22]When a fewH4557 yearsH8141 are comeH857[H8799], then I shall goH1980[H8799] the wayH734 whence I shall not returnH7725.[H8799]
