1Howbeit hear, Job, my words, and listen to my speech.
1Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
2For behold, I have opened my mouth, and my tongue has spoken .
2Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
3My heart [shall be found] pure by [my] words; and the understanding of my lips shall meditate purity.
3My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
4The Divine Spirit is that which formed me, and the breath of the Almighty that which teaches me .
4The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5If you can, give me an answer: wait therefore; stand against me, and I [will stand] against you.
5If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
6You are formed out of the clay as also I : we have been formed out of the same [substance].
6Behold, I am according to thy wish in God’s stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
7My fear shall not terrify you, neither shall my hand be heavy upon you.
7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
8But you have said in my ears, (I have heard the voice of your words;) because you say, I am pure, not having sinned;
8Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
9I am blameless, for I have not transgressed.
9I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
10Yet he has revealed a charge against me, and he has reckoned me as an adversary.
10Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
11And he has put my foot in the stocks, and has watched all my ways.
11He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
12For how say you, I am righteous, yet he has not listened to me? for he that is above mortals is eternal.
12Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
13But you say, Why has he not heard every word of my cause?
13Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
14For when the Lord speaks once, or a second time,
14For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15[sending] a dream, or in the meditation of the night; (as when a dreadful alarm happens to fall upon men, in slumberings on the bed:)
15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16then opens he the understanding of men: he scares them with such fearful visions:
16Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17to turn a man from unrighteousness, and he delivers his body from a fall.
17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18He spares also his soul from death, and [suffers] him not to fall in war.
18He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19And again, he chastens him with sickness on his bed, and the multitude of his bones is benumbed.
19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20And he shall not be able to take any food, though his soul shall desire meat;
20So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
21until his flesh shall be consumed , and he shall show his bones bare.
21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22His soul also draws near to death, and his life is in Hades.
22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
