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

Job's words do not come from knowledge; they are not the fruit of wisdom.

Look unto the heavens and see; and survey the skies: they are higher than thou.

By reason of the multitude of oppressions they make the oppressed to cry: they cry out by reason of the arm of the mighty.

There they cry, but none giveth answer, because of the pride of evil men.

He withdraweth not his eyes from the righteous: but with kings are they on the throne; yea, he doth establish them for ever, and they are exalted.

And if they be bound in fetters, and be holden in cords of affliction;

Then he sheweth them their work, and their transgressions that they have exceeded.

He openeth also their ear to discipline, and commandeth that they return from iniquity.

If they obey and serve him, they shall spend their days in prosperity, and their years in pleasures.

But if they obey not, they shall perish by the sword, and they shall die without knowledge.

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

They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.

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

yea, wonder at him, and yet they see him but afar off.

For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:

Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly.

"He puts a limit to the skill of every person; to delineate all people from what they do.

And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.

And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.

And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it is in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.

Therefore people revered him; he does not regard any {who think that they are wise}."

It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

Moreover, canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that they may pour down a great rain upon thee?

Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?

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.

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

They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.

Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.

That they may give no force for the multitude of people in the cities, neither regard the crying of the driver,

The wings of the ostrich wave proudly; But are they the pinions and plumage of love?

Without a thought that they may be crushed by the foot, and broken by the beasts of the field?

She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;

They dig in a valley, and he rejoiceth in power, He goeth forth to meet the armour.

Shall he be taken in front? will they pierce through his nose in the trap?

Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

His protective scales are his pride, they lie sealed tightly together.

One unto another they draw nigh, And air doth not enter between them.

They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

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

And they go -- Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite -- and do as Jehovah hath spoken unto them; and Jehovah doth accept the face of Job.

Then came there unto him all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all they that had been of his acquaintance before, and did eat bread with him in his house: and they bemoaned him, and comforted him over all the evil that the LORD had brought upon him: every man also gave him a piece of money, and every one an earring of gold.
