1 Then Job 347 answered 6030 and said 559,
2 I know 3045 it is so of a truth 551: but how should man 582 be just 6663 with God 410?
3 If he will 2654 contend 7378 with him, he cannot answer 6030 him one 259 of a thousand 505.
4 He is wise 2450 in heart 3824, and mighty 533 in strength 3581: who hath hardened 7185 himself against him, and hath prospered 7999?
5 Which removeth 6275 the mountains 2022, and they know 3045 not: which overturneth 2015 them in his anger 639.
6 Which shaketh 7264 the earth 776 out of her place 4725, and the pillars 5982 thereof tremble 6426.
7 Which commandeth 559 the sun 2775, and it riseth 2224 not; and sealeth up 2856 the stars 3556.
8 Which alone spreadeth out 5186 the heavens 8064, and treadeth 1869 upon the waves 1116 of the sea 3220.
9 Which maketh 6213 Arcturus 5906, Orion 3685, and Pleiades 3598, and the chambers 2315 of the south 8486.
10 Which doeth 6213 great things 1419 past 369 finding out 2714; yea, and wonders 6381 without number 4557.
11 Lo, he goeth 5674 by me, and I see 7200 him not: he passeth on 2498 also, but I perceive 995 him not.
12 Behold, he taketh away 2862, who can hinder 7725 him? who will say 559 unto him, What doest 6213 thou?
13 If God 433 will not withdraw 7725 his anger 639, the proud 7293 helpers 5826 do stoop 7817 under him.
14 How much less shall I answer 6030 him, and choose out 977 my words 1697 to reason with him?
15 Whom, though I were righteous 6663, yet would I not answer 6030, but I would make supplication 2603 to my judge 8199.
16 If I had called 7121, and he had answered 6030 me; yet would I not believe 539 that he had hearkened 238 unto my voice 6963.
17 For he breaketh 7779 me with a tempest 8183, and multiplieth 7235 my wounds 6482 without cause 2600.
18 He will not suffer 5414 me to take 7725 my breath 7307, but filleth 7646 me with bitterness 4472.
19 If I speak of strength 3581, lo, he is strong 533: and if of judgment 4941, who shall set 3259 me a time to plead?
20 If I justify 6663 myself, mine own mouth 6310 shall condemn 7561 me: if I say, I am perfect 8535, it shall also prove me perverse 6140.
21 Though I were perfect 8535, yet would I not know 3045 my soul 5315: I would despise 3988 my life 2416.
22 This is one 259 thing, therefore I said 559 it, He destroyeth 3615 the perfect 8535 and the wicked 7563.
23 If the scourge 7752 slay 4191 suddenly 6597, he will laugh 3932 at the trial 4531 of the innocent 5355.
24 The earth 776 is given 5414 into the hand 3027 of the wicked 7563: he covereth 3680 the faces 6440 of the judges 8199 thereof; if not, where 645, and who is he?
25 Now my days 3117 are swifter 7043 than a post 7323: they flee away 1272, they see 7200 no good 2896.
26 They are passed away 2498 as 5973 the swift 16 ships 591: as the eagle 5404 that hasteth 2907 to the prey 400.
27 If I say 559, I will forget 7911 my complaint 7879, I will leave off 5800 my heaviness 6440, and comfort 1082 myself:
28 I am afraid 3025 of all my sorrows 6094, I know 3045 that thou wilt not hold me innocent 5352.
29 If I be wicked 7561, why then labour 3021 I in vain 1892?
30 If I wash 7364 myself with 7950 snow water 4325 1119, and make my hands 3709 never 1252 1253 so clean 2141;
31 Yet 227 shalt thou plunge 2881 me in the ditch 7845, and mine own clothes 8008 shall abhor 8581 me.
32 For he is not a man 376, as I am, that I should answer 6030 him, and we should come 935 together 3162 in judgment 4941.
33 Neither is 3426 there any daysman 3198 betwixt us, that might lay 7896 his hand 3027 upon us both 8147.
34 Let him take 5493 0 his rod 7626 away 5493 from me, and let not his fear 367 terrify 1204 me:
35 Then would I speak 1696, and not fear 3372 him; but it is not so with me.
