Because that against right They have turned aside from after Him, And none of His ways have considered wisely,

so that [they] cause [the] cry of distress from [the] helpless to come to him, and he hears [the] cry of distress from [the] needy,

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

Behold attentively the heavens -- and see, And behold the clouds, They have been higher than thou.

Because of the multitude of oppressions They cause to cry out, They cry because of the arm of the mighty.

There they cry, and He doth not answer, Because of the pride of evil doers.

He withdraweth not from the righteous His eyes, And from kings on the throne, And causeth them to sit for ever, and they are high,

And if prisoners in fetters They are captured with cords of affliction,

Then He declareth to them their work, And their transgressions, Because they have become mighty,

And He uncovereth their ear for instruction, And saith that they turn back from iniquity.

If they do hear and serve, They complete their days in good, And their years in pleasantness.

And if they do not hearken, By the dart they pass away, And expire without knowledge.

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

{They die in their youth}, and their life [ends] among the male shrine prostitutes.

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.

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

Which clouds do drop, They distil on man abundantly.

He sendeth fear upon every man, that they might know their own works.

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

And {they} turn around by his guidance to accomplish all that he has commanded them on [the] face of {the habitable world}.

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 turneth itself as clay of a seal And they station themselves as clothed.

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

Dost thou send out lightnings, and they go And say unto thee, 'Behold us?'

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.

Thou dost number the months they fulfil? And thou hast known the time of their bringing forth!

They bow down, Their young ones they bring forth safely, Their pangs they cast forth.

Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to 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] female ostrich flap-- [are they] [the] pinions of [the] stork or [the] falcon?

She remembereth not that they might be trodden with feet or broken with some wild beast.

It deals cruelly with its young ones, as [if] [they were] not its [own], as [if] without fear [that] its labor [were] in vain,

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

And its young ones lick blood greedily, and where [the] dead carcasses [are], there they [are]."

Look at all [the] proud, humble them, and tread down [the] wicked {where they stand}.

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

(Feast upon him do companions, They divide 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.

One unto another they adhere, They stick together and are not separated.

The folds of his flesh are joined together: they are firm on him; they cannot be moved.

From his rising are the mighty afraid, From breakings they keep themselves free.

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.

And come unto him do all his brethren, and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they eat bread with him in his house, and bemoan him, and comfort him concerning all the evil that Jehovah had brought upon him, and they gave to him each one kesitah, and each one ring of gold.
