And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and wandering about therein.

And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Lo! all that he hath, is in thy hand, only, against himself, do not put forth thy hand. So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh.

when lo! a great wind, came from over the desert, and smote the four corners of the house, and it fell upon the young men, and they died, - and escaped am, only I alone, to tell thee.

and said - Naked came I forth from the womb of my mother, and naked must I return thither, Yahweh, gave, and, Yahweh, hath taken away, - The name of Yahweh be blessed!

And Yahweh said unto the accuser, Whence comest thou? And the accuser answered Yahweh, and said, From going to and fro in the earth, and from wandering about therein.

So the accuser went forth from the presence of Yahweh, - and smote Job with a sore boil, from the sole of his foot, unto his crown.

And he said unto her, As one of the base women speaketh, speakest thou? Blessing, shall we accept from God, and, misfortune, shall we not accept? In all this, Job sinned not with his lips.

Now when the three friends of Job heard of all this misfortune which had befallen him, - they came, every man from his own place, Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, and Zophar the Naamathite, - for they had by appointment met together to come to shew sympathy with him, and to comfort him.

That day, be it darkness, - Let not God enquire after it from above, May there shine upon it no clear beam:

Because it closed not the doors of the womb wherein I was, and so hid trouble from mine eyes.

Wherefore, in the womb, did I not die? From the womb, come forth and cease to breathe?

There, the lawless, cease from raging, and there the toil-worn are at rest:

Small and great, there, they are, and, the slave, is free from his master.

For, a dread, I dreaded, and it hath come upon me, and, that from which I shrank, hath overtaken me.

When there were thoughts, from visions of the night, - When deep sleep falleth upon men,

It stood still, but I could not distinguish its appearance, I looked, but there was no form before mine eyes, - A whispering voice, I heard: - -

His children are far removed from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, and there is none to deliver:

But he saveth from the sword, out of their mouth, and, out of the hand of the strong, the needy.

In famine, he will ransom thee from death, and in battle from the power of the sword;

Is there any help at all in me? Is not, abiding success, driven from me?

The despairing, from his friend, should have lovingkindness, or, the reverence of the Almighty, he may forsake.

And deliver me from the hand of the adversary? And, out of the hand of tyrants, ransom me?

How pleasant are the sayings that are right! But what can a decision from you, decide?

How long wilt thou not look away from me? Wilt thou not let me alone, till I can swallow my spittle?

Let him take from off me his rod, and, his terror, let it not startle me:

If I have sinned, then couldst thou watch me, and, from mine iniquity, thou wouldst not acquit me:

Wherefore then, from the womb, didst thou bring me forth? I might have breathed my last, and, no eye, have seen me.

As though I had not been, should I have become, - from the womb to the grave, might I have been borne.

Surely, then, shalt thou lift up thy face free from blemish, and shalt be established, and not fear.

But, the eyes of the lawless, shall fail, - and, place of refuge, shall have vanished from them, and, their hope, be a breathing out of life.

Only, two things, do thou not with me, then, from thy face, will I not hide me: -

Thy hand - from off me, take thou far away, and, thy terror, let it not startle me!

Look sway from him, that he may rest, Till he shall pay off, as a hireling, his day.

Waters, have failed from, the sea, and, a river, may waste and dry up;

Which, wise men, tell, and deny not that which is from their fathers.

All the days of the lawless man, he, doth writhe with pain, and, the number of years, is hidden from the tyrant;

My face, is reddened from weeping, and, upon mine eyelashes, is the death-shade: -

For, their heart, hast thou kept back from understanding, On this account, thou wilt not exalt them.

Therefore hath mine eye become dim from vexation, and, my members, are like a shadow, all of them.

My glory - from off me, hath he stripped, and hath removed the crown of my head;

My Brethren - from beside me, hath he moved far away, and, mine acquaintance, are wholly estranged from me;

And, though, after my skin is struck off, this followeth , yet, apart from my flesh, shall I see GOD:

Knowest thou, this - from antiquity, from the placing of man upon earth: -

He shall flee from the armour of iron, - There shall pierce him, a bow of bronze!

This, is the portion of the lawless man, from God, and the inheritance decreed him from the Mighty One.

Yet they said unto GOD, Depart from us, and, In the knowledge of thy ways, find we no pleasure.

Lo! not in their own hand, is their welfare, The counsel of lawless men, is far from me!

No water - to the weary, hast thou given to drink, and, from the hungry, thou hast withheld broad:

Who had been saying unto GOD, Depart from us! and - What can the Almighty do for himself?

Yet, he, had filled their houses with good! The counsel of the lawless, then, is far from me:

Accept, I beseech thee, from his mouth - instruction, - and lay up his sayings in thy heart.

If thou return unto the Almighty and submit thyself, if thou far remove perversity from thy tent,

There an upright man, might reason with him, so should I deliver myself completely from my judge.

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

Because I was not cut off before the darkness, nor, before my face, did the gloom form a shroud.

Wherefore, since from the Almighty times are not hid, have, his knowing ones, no vision of his days?

Men tear, from the breast, the fatherless, and, over the poor, they take a pledge;

Whom hast thou taught speech? Whose inspiration hath come from thee?

Far be it from me! that I should justify, you, - Even until I breathe my last, will I not let go mine integrity from me:

This, is the portion of a lawless man with GOD, That, the heritage of tyrants - from the Almighty, he shall receive.

He hath sunken a shaft, away from the inhabitants; Places forsaken by the foot, they hang down, away from men, sway to and fro;

From trickling, he restraineth, rivers, and, some hidden thing, is he bringing out to light.

Seeing it hath been hid from the eyes of every living thing, and, from the bird of the heavens, hath it been concealed?

They abhor me - have put themselves far from me, and, from my face, have not withheld - spittle!

Or what would have been my portion of GOD from above? Or what inheritance of the Almighty from on high?

If my goings have swerved from the way, - and, after mine eyes, hath gone my heart, and, to my hands, hath adhered any stain,

If I withheld - from pleasure - the poor, or, the eyes of the widow, I dimmed;

Surely, from my youth, he grew up to me, as to a father, and, from my birth, I acted as guide to her:

Let, my shoulder, from the shoulder-blade, fall, and, my arm, from the upper bone, be broken;

For, a dread unto me, was calamity from GOD, and, from his majesty, I could not escape.

Mine utterances come straight from mine own heart, and, what I know, my lips have truly spoken;

Lo! I am like thyself toward GOD, From clay, have I been nipped off, even I!

To turn a son of earth from his deed, while yet, pride, from man he concealeth:

He keepeth back his said from the pit, and his life from passing away by a weapon.

Then hath he shewed him favour, and said, Set him free from going down to the pit, I have found a price of redemption!

He hath ransomed my soul from passing away into the pit, - and, my life, in the light, shall have vision.

To bring back his soul from the pit, to enlighten with the light of the living.

Forasmuch, as they turned from following him, and, none of his ways, did they teach;

I will bring my knowledge from afar, and, to my Maker, will I attribute righteousness.

He will not withdraw - from a righteous one - his eyes, - but, with kings on the throne, He hath seated men triumphantly, and they have been exalted.

Thus hath he uncovered their ear to a warning, and said - that they should turn from iniquity.

Do not pant for the night, when peoples disappear from their place.

Every son of earth, hath viewed it, Mortal man, looketh at it from afar.

That thy garments should be hot when he quieteth the earth from the south?

That their light may be withdrawn from the lawless, and, the lofty arm, be shivered.

Like a stone, are the waters congealed, and, the face of the roaring deep, becometh firm!

He laugheth at dread, and is not dismayed, neither turneth he back, from the face of the sword;

As oft as the horn soundeth, he saith, Aha! And, from afar, he scenteth the battle, - the thunder of commanders and the war-cry.

From thence, he searcheth out food, far away, his eyes do pierce;

His bones, are barrels of bronze, his frame, is like hammered bars of iron:

A pride, are his arched sides, closed up, with a firm seal;

I know that, all things, thou canst do, and that no purpose can be withholden from thee.
