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.

But God drags off the mighty by his power; when God rises up against him, he has no faith in his life.

For what is the hope of the profane, When He doth cut off? When God doth cast off his soul?

His cry doth God hear, When distress cometh on 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 goes to bed wealthy, but will do so no more. When he opens his eyes, it is all 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 imparted weight to the wind
And meted out the waters by measure,

When He set a limit for the rain
And a course for the thunderbolt,

“Oh that I were as in months gone by,
As in the days when God watched over me;

When His lamp shone over my head,
And by His light I walked through darkness;

As I was in the prime of my days,
When the friendship of God was over my tent;

When yet the Mighty One is with me. Round about me -- my young ones,

When washing my goings with butter, And the firm rock is with me rivulets of oil.

When I go out to the gate by the city, In a broad place I prepare my seat.

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;

“For when the ear heard, it called me blessed,
And when the eye saw, it gave witness of 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 at them when they had no confidence, and no one could discourage me.

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 good I expected, then cometh evil, And I wait for light, and darkness cometh.

"If I've refused to help my male and female servants when they complain against me,

Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do 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 waved at the fatherless my hand, When I see in him the gate of my court,

If I see the light when it shineth, And the precious moon walking,

If I rejoice at the ruin of my hater, And stirred up myself when evil found him,

but when he saw that there had been no response from those three, he got even more angry.

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 or night vision, when a deep sleep falls on mankind while they sleep on their beds.

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 keeps quiet, who then can condemn?
And when He hides His face, who then can behold Him,
That is, in regard to both nation and man?—

“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 to be just: when you say, 'My right before God.'

“How much less when you say you do not behold Him,
The case is before Him, and you must wait 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.

And the profane in heart set the face, They cry not when He hath bound 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?

Don't long for night, when people vanish 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 roar doth a voice -- He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, 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 doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?

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

You whose garments are hot,
When the land is still because of 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?

Has it been relayed to God that I want to talk? Can a person speak when he is confused?"

Yet, now, men see not the light, bright though it is in the skies, when, a wind, hath passed over, and cleansed 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 founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding.

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

"Who enclosed the sea with limits when it gushed out of the womb,

when I made clouds to be its clothes and thick darkness its swaddling blanket,

when I proscribed a boundary for it, set in place bars and doors for it;

when I said, 'To here you may come and no farther, here your proud waves will be confined'?

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

when water solidifies like stone and the surface of the deepest sea freezes?

when dust dries into a mass and then breaks apart into clods?

When they bow down in dens -- Abide in a thicket for a covert?

Who doth prepare for a raven his provision, When his young ones cry unto God? They wander without food.

"Do you know when the mountain goat gives birth? Do you watch the doe as it calves its young?

Can you count the months of their gestation? Do you know the time when they give birth,

when they crouch down to give birth to their offspring, and let go of their birth pangs?

And yet when she gets ready to run, she laughs at the horse and its rider."

Leaping in his excitement, he takes in the ground; he cannot stand still when the trumpets sound!

When the trumpet blasts he'll neigh, "Aha! Aha!' From a distance he can sense war, the war cry of generals, and their shouting."

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.

“Can anyone capture him when he is on watch,
With barbs can anyone pierce his nose?

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 it is awakened? Who is he, then, who can stand before it?

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

When he rears up, the mighty are terrified; they are bewildered as he thrashes about.

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