His troops shall come together and raise up their way against me, and they will encamp round about to my tent

I called to my servant and he will not answer; I shall entreat him with my mouth.

Also children rejected me; I shall arise, and they will speak against me.

All the men of my intimacy will abhor me, and those I loved were turned against me.

Why do you persecute me as God does?
Will you never get enough of my flesh?

Who will give now, and my words shall be written? who will give and they shall be delineated in a book?.

But I myself know [that] my redeemer [is] alive, and [at the] last he will stand up upon {the earth}.

And after my skin has been thus destroyed, but from my flesh I will see God,

whom {I will see for myself}, and [whom] my eyes will see and not a stranger. {My heart faints within me}.

"If you say, 'How will we persecute him?' And 'The root of the trouble is found' in me,

But beware of the sword, for the sword will be avenged of wickedness. And be sure, that there is a judgment."

And the Naainathite will answer and say,

For this my thoughts will turn back, and because of my haste in me.

The correction meant to confound me, I must hear, but, the spirit - out of my understanding, will give me a reply.

he will perish forever like his dung; [those who] have seen him will say, 'Where [is] he?'

He will fly away like a dream, and they will not find him, and he will be chased away like a vision of [the] night.

[The] eye [that] saw him {will not see him again}, and his place will no longer behold him.

His children will seek favors from [the] poor, and his hands will return his wealth.

His bones were full of his vigor, but it will lie down with him on [the] dust.

If evil shall be sweet in his mouth he will cover it under his tongue;

though he spare it, and will not let it go, but keep it still within his mouth;

his food will turn rancid in his stomach it will become a cobra's poison inside him.

He has swallowed down riches, and he shall vomit them up again. God will cast them out of his belly.

He will suck [the] poison of horned vipers; [the] viper's tongue will kill him.

{He will not enjoy the streams}, [the] torrents of honey and curds.

Returning [the] products of [his] toil, he will not swallow; according to the profit of his trade, {he will not enjoy},

For he oppressed, forsaking the poor; he stripped the house and he will not build it up.

Surely he shall not know quietness in his belly; he will not escape with the things of desire.

{There is nothing left after he has eaten}; therefore his prosperity will not endure.

In the fullness of his excess {he will be in distress}; all of misery's power will come [upon] him.

{When his stomach fills up}, [God] will send {his burning anger} upon him, and he will let [it] rain down upon him as his food.

"He will flee from an iron weapon, [but] an arrow of bronze will pierce him.

It will impale him and come out through his back; the point will glisten as it protrudes through his gall bladder, and he will be terrified.

{Total darkness} is hidden for his treasures; {an unfanned fire} will devour him; [the] remnant {will be consumed} in his tent.

[The] heavens will reveal his guilt, and [the] earth will rise up against him.

The products of his house will be carried away [like] gushing waters on the day of his wrath.

And Job will answer and say,

Bear [with] me, and I myself will speak; then after my speaking you can mock.

His ox passed over and will not be cast away: his heifer will escape and will not be barren.

They will send forth their children as a flock, and their children will leap.

They will lift up with the drum and harp, and they will rejoice at the voice of the pipe.

Their days glided on in good, and in a moment they will lay hold of hades.

And they will say to God, Depart from us; and we desired not the knowledge of thy ways.

Who is the Almighty, that we should serve Him,
and what will we gain by pleading with Him?”

Lo, there is utterly no goodness in them, therefore will not I have to do with the counsel of the ungodly.

"How often do the wicked have their lights put out? Does calamity ever fall on them? Will God in his anger ever apportion their destruction?

And though God save their children from such sorrow, yet will he so reward themselves, that they shall know it.

Their own eyes will see their destruction; and they'll drink the wrath of the Almighty.

What will they care for their household after them, when the number of his months comes to an end?"

"Can God learn anything? After all, he will judge even the exalted ones.

Such persons will die in their full vigor, completely prosperous and secure.

His sides were filled with fat, and the marrow of his bones will, be moistened.

And this will die in the soul of bitterness, and will not eat in good.

They will lie down together upon the dust, and the worm shall cover over them.

Behold, I knew your purposes, and the devices ye will shake off against me.

For ye will say, Where the house of the noble one; and where the tent of the dwellings of the unjust?

Ask any man that goeth by the way, and - if ye will not regard their tokens and deeds - he shall tell you,

That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they will be brought forth to the day of wrath.

“Who will confront him with his actions,
And who will repay him for what he has done?

Yet he will be borne to the grave. Men shall keep watch over the tomb.

[The] clods of [the] valley are sweet to him; everyone will follow after him, and {before} him {they are innumerable}.

So how will you comfort me [with] emptiness, when fraud is left [in] your answers?"

And Eliphaz the Temanite will answer and say,

Will it please the Almighty if you are innocent, or does he profit if your life is blameless?

Will he reprove you for fear of you? will he enter with you into judgment?

For thou wilt take a pledge of thy brethren, in vain, and the garments of the naked thou wilt strip of

Thou wilt not give to the weary one water to drink, and from the hungry one thou wilt withhold bread.

Thou didst send away widows empty, and the arms of the orphans will be broken.

For this, snares are round about thee, and sudden fear will terrify thee;

Or darkness thou wilt not see; and abundance of waters shall cover thee.

And thou sayest, What doth God know? will he judge through the dark cloud?

Clouds a covering to him, and he will not see; and he will go about the circle of the heavens.

Will you keep [to the] way of old that [the] people of mischief have trod,

Who were laid hold of, and no time a river will pour out their foundation?

They told God, "Get away from us!' and "What will the Almighty do to them?'

"Though God fills their houses with good things, the counsel of the wicked will remain far from me.

The righteous will see this and rejoice; the innocent will insult him, saying,

"Our enemies are sure to be destroyed, and fire will burn up what's left of their riches."

"Please reconcile yourself with him, and be at peace; {in this way}, good will come to you.

If you return to Shaddai, you will be restored; [if] you remove wickedness from your tent,

then Shaddai will be your gold ore and {your precious silver}.

Indeed, then you will delight yourself in Shaddai, and {you will expect that God will be good to you}.

You will pray to him, and he will hear you, and you will pay your vows.

And you will decide on a matter, and it will be established for you, and light will shine on your ways.

When they cast down, you shall say, 'be lifted up.' He will save the humble person.

He will deliver the guilty, and he will escape because of the cleanness of your hands."

And Job will answer and say,

Who will give, I knew to find him: I will come even to his place.

I will arrange judgment before him, and I will fill the mouth with proofs.

I shall know the words he will answer me, and I shall understand what he will say to me.

Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.

The left hand in his working, and I shall not behold: he will cover himself on the right hand, and I shall not see.

Yet He knows the way I have taken;
when He has tested me, I will emerge as pure gold.

My foot doth keep his path; his highway have I holden, and will not go out of it.

From the command of his lips and I will not waver; from his law I hid the words of his mouth.

But he is in one mind, and who can turn him? And what his soul desireth, that will he do.

For he will carry out {what he appoints for me}, and many [things] like these [are] with him

Considering then that there is no time hid from the Almighty, how happeneth it, that they which know him, will not regard his days?

They will remove the bound; they will strip off the flock, and they will feed.

They will lead away the ass of the orphans, and they will take for pledge, the widow's ox.
