Behold, I am according to your wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.

So that his life abhors bread, and his soul the choicest food.

His flesh shall be younger than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:

He shall pray unto God, and he will be favorable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.

He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.

If you have any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify you.

Is it fit to say to a king, You are wicked? and to princes, You are ungodly?

Therefore he knows their works, and he overturns them in the night, so that they are destroyed.

So that they cause the cry of the poor to come unto him, and he hears the cry of the afflicted.

That which I see not you teach me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

Think you this to be right, that you said, My righteousness is more than God's?

Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than you.

Although you say you shall not see him, yet justice is before him; therefore you must trust in him.

But now, because it is not so, he has visited in his anger; yet he knows it not in a great extreme:

Bear with me a little, and I will show you that I have yet to speak on God's behalf.

Even so would he have removed you out of the distress into a broad place, where there is no restraint; and that which should be set on your table should be full of richness.

Who has prescribed him his way? or who can say, You have worked iniquity?

Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.

Behold, he spreads his lightning upon it, and covers the depths of the sea.

Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech because of darkness.

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

Have you entered into the springs of the sea? or have you walked in search of the depths?

Can you send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto you, Here we are?

None is so fierce that would dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

He makes the deep boil like a pot: he makes the sea like a pot of ointment.

And it was so, that after the LORD had spoken these words unto Job, the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, My wrath is kindled against you, and against your two friends: for you have not spoken of me the thing that is right, as my servant Job has.

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according as the LORD commanded them: the LORD also accepted Job.

So the LORD blessed the latter end of Job more than his beginning: for he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand female donkeys.

And in all the land were no women found so beautiful as the daughters of Job: and their father gave them inheritance among their brethren.

After this lived Job a hundred and forty years, and saw his sons, and his sons' sons, even four generations.

So Job died, being old and full of days.
