Nevertheless, I haven't been silenced because of the darkness, even when thick darkness obscures my vision."

So that when the showers in the mountains have rained upon them, and they be all wet, they have none other succour, but to embrace the rock for want of a covering.

When together, morning is to them death shade, When he discerneth the terrors of death shade.

“Yet God draws away the mighty by His power;
He rises, but no one has assurance of life.

For what is the hope of the hypocrite, though he hath gained, when God taketh away his soul?

Will God hear his cry when trouble cometh upon him?

When those of his house who are still living come to their end by disease, they are not put into the earth, and their widows are not weeping for them.

He lies down wealthy, but will do so no more;
when he opens his eyes, it is gone.

Then clap men their hands at him, yea and jest of him, when they look upon his place.

He makes a deep mine far away from those living in the light of day; when they go about on the earth, they have no knowledge of those who are under them, who are hanging far from men, twisting from side to side on a cord.

“When He gave weight and pressure to the wind
And allotted the waters by measure,

When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

Oh that I were as in months past, as in the days when God preserved me;

When his candle shined upon my head, and when by his light I walked through darkness;

As I was in the days of my youth, when the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;

When the Almighty was yet with me, when my children were about me;

When I washed my steps with butter, and the rock poured me out rivers of oil;

When I went out to the gate through the city, when I prepared my seat in the street!

When the young men, as soon as they saw me, hid themselves, and when the aged arose, and stood up unto me;

when the princes left of their talking, and laid their hand to their mouth;

when the mighty kept still their voice, and when their tongues cleaved to the roof of their mouths;

When the ear heard me, then it blessed me; and when the eye saw me, it gave witness to me:

For I was a saviour to the poor when he was crying for help, to the child with no father, and to him who had no supporter.

I was a father unto the poor, and when I knew not their cause, I sought it out diligently.

After I spoke, they had nothing to say, when what I said hit them.

I smiled on them, when they had no confidence; And the light of my countenance they cast not down.

I choose their way, and sit head, And I dwell as a king in a troop, When mourners he doth comfort.

And when they were driven forth, men cried after them, as it had been after a thief.

I cry out to You for help, but You do not answer me;
when I stand up, You merely look at me.

Indeed, no prayer availeth when he stretcheth out his hand: though they cry when he destroyeth.

When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there came darkness.

If I did despise the cause of my manservant or of my maidservant, when they contended with me;

What then shall I do when God riseth up? and when he visiteth, what shall I answer him?

"When the poor desireth anything of me, have I denied it them? Have I caused the widow stand waiting for me in vain?

If I have lifted up my hand against the fatherless, when I saw my help in the gate:

If I beheld the sun when it shined, or the moon walking in brightness;

If I rejoiced at the destruction of him that hated me, or lifted up myself when evil found him:

When Elihu saw that there was no answer in the mouth of these three men, then his wrath was kindled.

For when I had waited till ye made an end of your talking, and heard your wisdom, what arguments you made in your communication;

Yea, when I had diligently pondered what ye said, I found not one of you that made any good argument against Job, or that directly could make answer unto his words,

When I had waited, (for they spake not, but stood still, and answered no more;)

Wherefore against Him hast thou striven, When for all His matters He answereth not?

For when God doth once command a thing, there should no man be curious to search whether it be right.

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;

That's when he opens the ear of mankind, authenticating his messages to them,

“Man is also disciplined with pain on his bed,
And with unceasing complaint in his bones,

For he hath said, 'It doth not profit a man, When he delighteth himself with God.'

In a moment, they die, even in the middle of the night, - A people are convulsed when they pass away, A mighty one is removed, without hand;

Thus he acknowledges their behavior, and overcomes them; when night time comes, they are crushed.

When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:

“Shall God’s retribution [for your sins] be on your terms, because you refuse to accept it?
For you must do the choosing, and not I;
Therefore say what you [truthfully] know.

"Do you think this [is] justice when you say, '{I am right} before God'?

How much less when thou sayest thou beholdest him not, The cause is before him, and thou waitest for him!

And further, when you say that his anger does not punish, and that he does not know transgression!

When he began speaking, he communicated only worthlessness; he added words upon words without knowing anything."

he'll reveal their actions to them, when their transgressions have become excessive.

But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them.

He'll deliver the afflicted through their afflictions and open their ears when they are oppressed."

"Will your wealth sustain you when you're in distress, despite your most powerful efforts?

Desire not the night, when people are cut off in their place.

When He doth diminish droppings of the waters, They refine rain according to its vapour,

When the clouds pour down; they drop their rain on all of humanity.

After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

when God sendeth out his voice: great things doth he, which we can not comprehend.

"When he commandeth the snow, it falleth upon the earth: As soon as he giveth the rain a charge, immediately the showers have their strength, and fall down.

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

Art thou of his counsel, when he spreadeth out the clouds? Hast thou the perfect knowledge of his wonders?

How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

Tell us! What are we to say to him? Can we prepare our case to face him when our faces are in darkness?

Should He be told that I want to speak?
Can a man speak when he is confused?

“Now people cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies [without being blinded],
When the wind has passed and cleared them.

When spake the LORD unto Job out of the storm, and said,

Get ready to answer Me like a man;
when I question you, you will inform Me.

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

When I cut out for it my boundary, and set bars and doors,

when I declared: “You may come this far, but no farther;
your proud waves stop here”?

Knowest thou, when thou wast born, how old thou shouldest be?

When the waters lie hidden as in stone, and the face of the deep holdeth fast together.

When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

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

Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

“They kneel down, they bring forth their young,
They cast out their labor pains.

“Yet when she lifts herself on high,
[So swift is she that] she laughs at the horse and his rider.

With stamping and rage, he drinketh up the ground, - he will not stand still when the horn soundeth;

When the trumpet blasts, he snorts defiantly.
He smells the battle from a distance;
he hears the officers’ shouts and the battle cry.

Get ready to answer Me like a man;
When I question you, you will inform Me.

"When you have adorned yourself with exalted majesty, clothed yourself with splendor and dignity,

First when God made him, he ordained the wilderness for him,

What you see as a raging river doesn't alarm him; he is confident when the Jordan overflows.

Shall any take him when he is on the watch, Or pierce through his nose with a snare?

For when thou thinkest to have hold upon him, he shall beguile thee: Every man also that seeth him, shall go back.

[Is] it not fierce when somebody stirs it? Who [then] [is] he [who] would stand {before it}?

“The folds of his flesh are joined together,
Firm on him and immobile [when he moves].

When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

You said, “Listen now, and I will speak.
When I question you, you will inform Me.”
