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 pursue me like God does? Will you never be satiated with my flesh?

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

“As for me, I know that my Redeemer lives,
And at the last He will take His stand on the earth.

And ... without my flesh I will see God;

Whom I myself shall behold,
And whom my eyes will see and not another.
My heart faints within me!

If you say, How cruel we will be to him! because the root of sin is clearly in him:

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 perishes forever like his refuse;
Those who have seen him will say, ‘Where is he?’

“He flies away like a dream and cannot be found;
Yes, he is chased away like a vision of the night.

People who had seen him will not see him again, and the place where he was will recognize him no longer.

His children are hoping that the poor will be kind to them, and his hands give back his wealth.

His bones are full of young strength, but it will go down with him into the dust.

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

Though he desires it and will not let it go,
But holds it in his mouth,

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

“He swallows riches,
But will vomit them up;
God will expel them from his belly.

He will suck the poison of cobras;
a viper’s fangs will kill him.

He will not look on the streams, the rivers, which are the torrents of honey and butter.

He gives back the ill-gotten gain without assimilating it; he will not enjoy the wealth from his commerce.

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

“Because he knew no quietness or calm within him [because of his greed],
He does not retain anything he desires.

He had never enough for his desire; for this cause his well-being will quickly come to an end.

“In the fullness of his plenty he will be cramped;
The hand of everyone who suffers will come against him.

“When he fills his belly,
God will send His fierce anger on him
And will rain it on him while he is eating.

“He may flee from the iron weapon,
But the bronze bow will pierce him.

Being drawn it will come forth from the body; and the lightning will go from his bile, and terrors upon him.

Complete darkness is held in reserve for his treasures,
And unfanned fire will devour him;
It will consume the survivor in his tent.

“The heavens will reveal his iniquity,
And the earth will rise up against him.

“The increase of his house will depart;
His possessions will flow away in the day of His anger.

And Job will answer and say,

Suffer me and I will speak; and after I have spoken, mock on!

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?”

Behold! Their prosperity isn't in their control! The counsel of the wicked will remain far from me."

How often the light of the unjust shall be extinguished, and their destruction will come upon them. He will distribute pains in his anger.

God will lay up his iniquity for his sons: he will requite to him and be shall know.

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?"

Shall he teach knowledge to God? and he will judge those lifted up.

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,

“For the wicked is reserved for the day of calamity;
They will be led forth at the day of fury.

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

“While he is carried to the grave,
Men will keep watch over his tomb.

“The clods of the valley will gently cover him;
Moreover, all men will follow after him,
While countless ones go before him.

“How then will you vainly comfort me,
For your answers remain full of falsehood?”

And Eliphaz the Temanite will answer and say,

Did it please to the Almighty that thou wilt be just? and if gain if thou wilt perfect thy ways?

Will he reason with thee for fear of thee? Will he enter with thee 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 ancient path
Which wicked men 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."

“Yield now and be at peace with Him;
Thereby good will come to you.

“If you return to the Almighty, you will be restored;
If you remove unrighteousness far from your tent,

Then the Almighty will be your gold
And choice silver to you.

“For then you will delight in the Almighty
And lift up your face to God.

“You will pray to Him, and He will hear you;
And you will pay your vows.

“You will also decree a thing, and it will be established for you;
And light will shine on your ways.

“When you are cast down, you will speak with confidence,
And the humble person He will save.

“He will deliver one who is not innocent,
And he will be delivered through 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.

Would He prosecute me forcefully?
No, He will certainly pay attention to 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.

For he has knowledge of the way I take; after I have been tested I will come out like 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 perform what is appointed for me; and many such things 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.
