So Satan went forth from the presence of LORD, and smote Job with severe boils from the sole of his foot to his crown.

Why is light given to him who is in misery, and life to the bitter in soul,

My soul refuses to touch [them]. They are as loathsome food to me.

Therefore I will not refrain my mouth. I will speak in the anguish of my spirit. I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.

so that my soul chooses strangling and death rather than [these] my bones.

How long will thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?

My soul is weary of my life. I will give free reign to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

so that his life abhors bread, and his soul dainty food.

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

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.

It is changed as clay under the seal, and [all things] stand forth as a garment.

[His] strong scales are [his] pride, shut up together [like] a close seal.
