Let them curse it that curse the day, who are ready to rouse Leviathan;

With kings and counsellors of the earth, who build desolate places for themselves,

Or with princes who had gold, who filled their houses with silver;

Who long for death, and it cometh not, and dig for it more than for hidden treasures;

Who rejoice even exultingly and are glad when they find the grave? --

To the man whose way is hidden, and whom +God hath hedged in?

If a word were essayed to thee, wouldest thou be grieved? But who can refrain from speaking?

Remember, I pray thee, who that was innocent has perished? and where were the upright cut off?

How much more them that dwell in houses of clay, whose foundation is in the dust, who are crushed as the moth!

Who doeth great things and unsearchable, marvellous things without number;

Who giveth rain on the face of the earth, and sendeth waters on the face of the fields;

Behold, happy is the man whom +God correcteth; therefore despise not the chastening of the Almighty.

He is wise in heart and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and had peace?

Who removeth mountains, and they know it not, when he overturneth them in his anger;

Who shaketh the earth out of its place, and the pillars thereof tremble;

Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, and he sealeth up the stars;

Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the high waves of the sea;

Who maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south;

Who doeth great things past finding out, and wonders without number.

Behold, he taketh away: who will hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?

Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.

He, who crusheth me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

Be it a question of strength, lo, he is strong; and be it of judgment, who will set me a time?

The earth is given over into the hand of the wicked man; he covereth the faces of its judges. If not, who then is it?

There is not an umpire between us, who should lay his hand upon us both.

If he pass by, and shut up, and call to judgment, who can hinder him?

I also have understanding as well as you; I am not inferior to you; and who knoweth not such things as these?

I am to be one that is a derision to his friend, I who call upon +God, and whom he will answer: a derision is the just upright man.

Who knoweth not in all these, that the hand of Jehovah hath wrought this?

Who is he that contendeth with me? For if I were silent now, I should expire.

One who, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that the moth eateth.

Who can bring a clean man out of the unclean? Not one!

Unto whom alone the earth was given, and no stranger passed among them.

Lay down now a pledge, be thou surety for me with thyself: who is he that striketh hands with me?

And where is then my hope? yea, my hope, who shall see it?

They who are none of his shall dwell in his tent; brimstone shall be showered upon his habitation:

All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me.

Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: my reins are consumed within me.

Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

Who were carried off before the time, whose foundation was overflowed with a flood;

Who said unto God, Depart from us! and what could the Almighty do to them?

Is not he who rose against us destroyed, and doth not the fire consume his residue?

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do.

If it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

Is there any number of his troops? and upon whom doth not his light arise?

For whom hast thou uttered words? and whose spirit came from thee?

Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?

As God liveth, who hath taken away my right, and the Almighty, who hath embittered my soul,

For I delivered the afflicted that cried, and the fatherless who had no helper.

Yea, whereto should the strength of their hands profit me, men in whom vigour hath perished?

This also would be an iniquity for the judge, for I should have denied the God who is above.

If the men of my tent said not, Who shall find one that hath not been satisfied with his meat? --

Who hath entrusted to him the earth? and who hath disposed the whole world?

When he giveth quietness, who then will disturb? and when he hideth his face, who shall behold him? and this towards a nation, or towards a man alike;

Men of understanding will say to me, and a wise man who heareth me:

But none saith, Where is +God my Maker, who giveth songs in the night,

Who teacheth us more than the beasts of the earth, and maketh us wiser than the fowl of the heavens?

Lo, God is exalted in his power: who teacheth as he?

Who hath appointed him his way? or who hath said, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness?

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

Who set the measures thereof if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it?

Whereupon were the foundations thereof sunken? or who laid its corner-stone,

And who shut up the sea with doors, when it burst forth, issuing out of the womb?

Who hath divided a channel for the rain-flood, and a way for the thunder's flash;

Hath the rain a father? or who begetteth the drops of dew?

Out of whose womb cometh the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who bringeth it forth?

Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the mind?

Who numbereth the clouds with wisdom? or who poureth out the bottles of the heavens,

Who provideth for the raven his food, when his young ones cry unto God, and they wander for lack of meat?

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? and who hath loosed the bands of the onager,

None is so bold as to stir him up; and who is he that will stand before me?

Who hath first given to me, that I should repay him? Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

Who can uncover the surface of his garment? who can come within his double jaws?

Who can open the doors of his face? Round about his teeth is terror.

Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

Who is he that obscureth counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I did not understand; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.
