Then Satan answered the LORD, and said, Does Job fear God for nothing?

Does not their excellence which is in them go away? they die, even without wisdom.

For affliction comes not forth from the dust, neither does trouble spring out of the ground;

Who does great things and unsearchable; marvelous things without number:

Does the wild donkey bray when it has grass? or the ox lows over its fodder?

How forceful are right words! but what does your arguing prove?

Does God pervert judgment? or does the Almighty pervert justice?

Who does great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

Does not the ear test words? and the mouth taste its food?

Why does your heart carry you away? and what do your eyes wink at,

His archers surround me, he slashes my kidneys asunder, and does not spare; he pours out my gall upon the ground.

Are there not mockers with me? and does not my eye continue in their provocation?

God thunders marvelously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.

He swallows the ground with fierceness and rage: neither does he halt at the sound of the trumpet.

Does the hawk fly by your wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

Does the eagle mount up at your command, and make her nest on high?
