And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Hast thou applied thy heart unto my servant Job, that there is none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, one who revereth God, and avoideth evil; and still he is holding fast his integrity, although thou movedst me against him, to swallow him up without cause.

Let darkness and death-shade buy it back, May there settle down upon it a cloud, Let a day's dark eclipse cause it terror:

Yet indeed, I, would seek unto El, and, unto Elohim, would I set forth any cause: -

Show me, and, I, will hold my peace, And, wherein I have erred, cause me to understand.

One thing, there is, for which cause, I have said it, The blameless and the lawless, he bringeth to an end.

Remember, I pray thee, that, as clay, thou didst make me, and, unto dust, thou wilt cause me to return.

Shall, thy pratings, cause men to hold their peace? When thou hast mocked, shall there be none to put thee to shame?

A driven leaf, wilt thou cause to tremble? Or, dry stubble, wilt thou pursue?

Nothing escaped his devouring greed, - For this cause, shall his prosperity not continue:

For this cause, round about thee, are snares, and a dread startleth thee suddenly;

For this cause, from his presence, am I driven in fear, I diligently consider and am kept back from him in dread:

A father, was, I, to the needy, and, as for the cause which I knew not, I used to search it out;

So then Elihu, son of Barachel, the Buzite, responded and said: - Young, am I, whereas, ye, are aged, For this cause, I faltered, and feared - to shew my knowledge unto you:

How much less when thou sayest thou wilt not regard him! The cause, is before him, and thou must wait for him.

To satisfy the wild and the wilderness, to cause to spring forth the meadow of young grass?

Couldst thou cause him to leap like a locust? The majesty of his snort, is a terror!

For this cause, I tremble and repent, on dust and ashes.
