They will turn the needy from the Way: the poor of the earth hid themselves together.

Lo, wild asses in a wilderness, They have gone out about their work, Seeking early for prey, A mixture for himself -- food for young ones.

In the field they will harvest his meslin, and they will glean the vintage of the unjust one.

They will cause the naked to lodge without clothing, and no covering in the cold.

They will be wet from the pouring rains of the mountains, and they embraced the rock from no shelter.

They will strip the orphan from the breast, and take a pledge for the poor.

Between their walls they will press out oil; they trod their wine-presses, and they will thirst

From the city men will groan, and the soul of the wounded will cry out: and God will not set folly.

The murderer will rise by light; he will kill the poor and needy; and in the night he will be as a thief.

“The eye of the adulterer waits for the twilight,
Saying, ‘No eye will see me.’
And he disguises his face.

In the night season they search the houses, and hide themselves in the daytime, but will not know the light.

He is swift upon the face of the waters; their portion will be cursed in the earth: he will not see the way of the vineyards.

Dryness, also heat, will strip the snow waters: hades him sinning.

“A mother will forget him;
The worm feeds sweetly till he is no longer remembered.
And wickedness will be broken like a tree.

He did evil to the barren; she will not bear: andhewill not do good to the widow.

And he drew the mighty in his power: he will rise up and none shall be sure in living.

It will he given to him for confidence, and he will rest upon: and his eyes upon their ways.

They were lifted up a little while, and they are not, and they were brought low; as all they will be drawn together, and as the head of an ear of grain they shall be cut off.

If it be not so now, who will make me a liar, and make my speech nothing worth?

And Bildad the Shuhite will answer and say,

"Indeed, how can a human being be righteous before God? And how will he who is born of a woman be pure?

And Job will answer and say,

Where is the counsel that thou shouldest give him, which hath no wisdom? Wilt thou so show thine excellent righteousness?

And Job will add to take up his parable, and say,

My lips certainly will not speak unjustly,
Nor will my tongue mutter deceit.

“Far be it from me that I should declare you right;
Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

“I hold fast my righteousness and will not let it go.
My heart does not reproach any of my days.

“Will God hear his cry
When distress comes upon him?

“Will he take delight in the Almighty?
Will he call on God at all times?

“I will instruct you in the power of God;
What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

Behold, all ye yourselves saw; and wherefore this, will ye breathe out vanity?

"This is what a wicked person inherits from God, and what the ruthless will receive from the Almighty:

“Though his sons are many, they are destined for the sword;
And his descendants will not be satisfied with bread.

“His survivors will be buried because of the plague,
And their widows will not be able to weep.

He may prepare it, but the just will wear it
And the innocent will divide the silver.

He lieth down rich, but will do so no more; he openeth his eyes, and he is not.

Terror will overtake him like a flood, at night, a tornado will sweep him away.

“For it will hurl at him without sparing;
He will surely try to flee from its power.

“Men will clap their hands at him
And will hiss him from his place.

For there is a going forth for silver, and a place for gold they will purify it

Iron shall be taken from the dust, and stone will pour out brass.

The earth, from it will come forth bread, and under it was turned as fire.

{Proud wild animals} have not trodden it; [the] lion in its prime has not prowled over it.

He bound the rivers from weeping, and he will bring forth the hidden thing to light

"But from where will wisdom be found? And {where in the world} [is the] place of understanding?

Of coral and jasper no mention will be made; the price of wisdom is more than pearls.

For he will look to the ends of the earth, he will see under all the heavens;

Then he saw, and he will recount it; he prepared it, and also he searched it out

And he will say to man, Behold, the fear of Jehovah, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

And Job will add to lift up his parable, and say,

Who will give me as the months of old, as the days God will watch me?

In washing my goings with butter, and the rock will pour out with me streams of oil;

Chiefs held back in words, and they will put the hand to the mouth.

If the ear heard, and it will pronounce me happy; and the eye saw, and it will testify to me:

The praise of him perishing will come upon me, and I shall cause the heart of the widow to rejoice.

I put on justice and it will clothe me: my judgment as an upper garment and a turban.

Then I said, I will come to my end with my children round me, my days will be as the sand in number;

My root shall be spread out to the waters, and the dew will lie all night on my branch;

My glory will be ever new, and my bow will be readily bent in my hand.

To me they heard, and they waited, and they will be silent for them at my counsel.

After my words they will not repeat, and my speech will drop upon them.

I shall laugh at them, they will not believe; and the light of my face they will not cast down.

“Among the bushes they cry out [like wild animals];
Beneath the prickly scrub they gather and huddle together.

Because he loosed his cord and he will afflict me, and they cast off the bridle from before me.

Upon the right the brood will rise up; they cast away my feet, and they will cast up the paths of their destruction against me.

They will come as a wide breach under a destroying tempest, they rolled themselves.

Terror turned upon me, it will pursue my willingness as the wind, and my salvation passed away as a cloud.

And now my soul shall be poured out upon me; and the days of affliction will hold me fast

The night racks my bones; and the pain that gnaws on me will not rest.

By the multitude of power my clothing will be disguised: it will gird me about as the mouth of my coat

I shall cry to thee and thou wilt not answer me: I stood up and thou wilt not attend to me.

Thou wilt turn to be cruel to me: with the strength of thy hand thou wilt lie in wait for me.

Thou wilt lift me up to the wind; thou wilt cause me to ride, and thou wilt melt to me counsel.

“For I know that You will bring me to death
And to the house of meeting for all living.

"Surely he won't stretch his hand against the needy, will he, especially if they cry to him in their calamity?

For I hoped for good and evil will come: and I shall wait for light and darkness will come.

And my harp will be for mourning, and my pipe for the voice of those weeping.

Will he not see my way, and number all my steps?

If I went with vanity, and my foot will haste upon deceit;

let my righteousness be weighed in honest scales, and God will make known my integrity.

If my going will incline from the way, and my heart went after mine eyes, and a blemish did cleave upon my hands:

I will sow and another shall eat; and my offspring shall be rooted up.

The fires of Abaddon will burn, disrupting every part of my eternal reward."

what will I do when God stands up to act? When he asks the questions, how will I answer him?

Did not he making me in the womb, make him? And he will prepare us in one belly.

If his loins did not praise me, and he will be warmed from the fleece of my sheep

And my heart will be seduced in secret, and my hand shall kiss to my mouth:

“I assure you, the men of my tent have said,
‘Who can find one [in need] who has not been satisfied with his meat’?

, If I, shall fear a great multitude, and the contempt of families terrify me, and I will be silent and not go out of my door.

"Who will grant me a hearing? Here's my signature let the Almighty answer! Since my adversary indicted me,

If not, I shall lift it up upon my shoulder, I will bind it a crown to me

And these three men will cease from answering Job, for he is just in his eyes.

And the anger of Elihu will kindle, son of Barachel the Buzite, from the family of Ram: against Job was, his anger kindled, for his justifying his soul above God.

And against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they, found not an answer, and they will condemn Job.

And Elihu will see that not an Answer in the mouth of the three men, and his anger will kindle,

And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite will answer and say, I few for days, and ye old men; for this I was afraid, and I shall fear showing you my knowledge.

But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty will cause them to understand.

Not the many will be wise: and old men understand judgment.

“So I say, ‘Listen to me,
I too will tell what I think.’

Behold, I waited for your words, giving ear even to your understandings while ye will search out words.
