“Remember now, who, being innocent, ever perished?
Or where [and in what circumstances] were those upright and in right standing with God destroyed?

“O earth, do not cover my blood,
And let there be no [resting] place for my cry [where it will cease being heard].

“One dies in his full strength,
Being wholly at ease and quiet and satisfied;

‘My glory and honor are fresh in me [being constantly renewed],
And my bow gains [ever] new strength in my hand.’

“Tell us [Job] what words [of man] shall we say to such a Being;
We cannot state our case because of darkness [that is, our ignorance in the presence of the unsearchable God].
