Let the stars of the twilight of it be dark. Let it look for light, but have none, nor let it behold the eyelids of the morning.

who long for death, but it comes not, and dig for it more than for hid treasures,

I am not at ease, nor am I quiet, neither have I rest, but trouble comes.

If a man tries to converse with thee, will thou be grieved? But who can withhold himself from speaking?

But now it comes to thee, and thou faint. It touches thee, and thou are troubled.

It stood still, but I could not discern the appearance of it. A form was before my eyes. [There was] silence, and I heard a voice, [saying],

I have seen the foolish taking root, but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

but man is born to trouble, as the sparks fly upward.

But as for me, I would seek to God. And to God I would commit my cause,

But he saves from the sword of their mouth, even the needy from the hand of the mighty.

O that my grief were but weighed, and all my calamity laid in the balances!

They were put to shame because they had hoped. They came there, and were confounded.

How forcible are words of uprightness! But your reproof, what does it reprove?

The eye of him who sees me shall behold me no more. Thine eyes shall be upon me, but I shall not be.

When I say, My bed shall comfort me. My couch shall ease my complaint.

And why do thou not pardon my transgression, and take away my iniquity? For now I shall lay down in the dust, and thou will seek me diligently, but I shall not be.

He will not allow me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

If I say, I will forget my complaint. I will put off my [sad] countenance, and be of good cheer,

But O that God would speak, and open his lips against thee,

But vain man is void of understanding. Yea, man is born [as] a wild donkey's colt.

if iniquity is in thy hand, put it far away, and let not unrighteousness dwell in thy tents.

But the eyes of the wicked shall fail, and they shall have no way to flee. And their hope shall be the giving up of the spirit.

No doubt but ye are the people, and wisdom shall die with you.

But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee, and the birds of the heavens, and they shall tell thee.

But ye are forgers of lies. Ye are all physicians of no value.

Why should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?

Thou also put my feet in the stocks, and mark all my paths. Thou set a bound to the soles of my feet.

[But] I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips would assuage [your grief].

But now he has made me weary. Thou have made desolate all my company.

But he has made me a byword of the people, and they spit in my face.

But as for you all, come on now again, and I shall not find a wise man among you.

Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall not shine.

The light shall be dark in his tent, and his lamp above him shall be put out.

Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard. I cry for help, but there is no justice.

He has put my brothers far from me, and my acquaintances are wholly estranged from me.

But as for me I know that my Redeemer lives, and at last he will stand up upon the earth.

Would he contend with me in the greatness of his power? No, but he would give heed to me.

Behold, I go forward, but he is not [there], and backward, but I cannot perceive him,

on the left hand, when he works, but I cannot behold him. He hides himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him.

But he knows the way that I take. When he has tried me, I shall come forth as gold.

But he is in one [mind], and who can turn him? And what his soul desires, even that he does.

Lo, these are but the periphery of his ways. And how small a whisper do we hear of him! But the thunder of his power who can understand?

Far be it from me that I should justify you. Till I die I will not put away my integrity from me.

he may prepare it, but the just shall put it on, and the innocent shall divide the silver.

He lays down rich, but he shall not be gathered [to his fathers]. He opens his eyes, and he is not.

But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?

But now those who are younger than I have me in derision, whose fathers I disdained to set with the dogs of my flock.

(the sojourner has not lodged in the street, but I have opened my doors to the traveler);

But there is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.

In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falls upon men, in slumberings upon the bed.

He keeps back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.

He also is chastened with pain upon his bed, and with continual strife in his bones,

Yea, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers.

then [God] is gracious to him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom.

He has redeemed my soul from going into the pit, and my life shall behold the light.

to bring back his soul from the pit, that he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

But surely not. Learn thou Job not to still give an answer like the foolish,

But none says, Where is God my maker who gives songs in the night,

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

But now, because he has not visited in his anger, nor does he greatly regard folly,
