For what reason, were there prepared for me - knees? and why - breasts, that I might suck?

So might it still be my comfort, And I might exult in the anguish he would not spare, - That I had not concealed the sayings of the Holy One.

How long wilt thou speak these things? Or, as a mighty wind, shall be the sayings of thy mouth?

For he is not a man like myself, whom I might answer, nor could we come together into judgment:

There is not, between us, a mediator, who might lay his hand upon us both.

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.

Pouring contempt upon nobles, and, the girdle of the mighty, hath He loosed:

Would it be well, when he searched you out? Or, as one might jest with a mortal, would ye jest, with him?

He made a breach in me, breach upon breach, He ran upon me, like a mighty man.

That one might plead, for a man, with GOD, - Even a son of man, for his friend!

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

Wherefore do, lawless men, live, advance in years, even wax mighty in power?

A man of might, to him, pertaineth the land, and, the favorite, dwelleth therein:

Oh that I knew where I might find him! I would come even unto his dwelling-place;

Would he, with fulness of might, contend with me? Nay, surely, he, would give heed to me!

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

Yea he draggeth along the mighty by his strength, He riseth up, and none hath assurance of life;

Lo! these, are the fringes of his way, and what a whisper of a word hath been heard of him! But, the thunder of his might, who could understand?

Thou art turned to become a cruel one unto me, With the might of thy hand, thou assailest me;

Surely I know not how to give flattering titles, How soon might my Maker take me away!

Shall, the very hater of right, control? Or, the just - the mighty one, wilt thou condemn?

In a moment, they die, even in the middle of the night, - A people are convulsed when they pass away, A mighty one is removed, without hand;

He shattereth mighty ones unsearchably, and setteth up others in their stead:

Would that Job might be tested to the uttermost, for replying with the men of iniquity:

Unto a man like thyself, might thy lawlessness reach , and, unto a son of the earth-born, thy righteousness.

By reason of the multitude of oppressions, men make outcry, They cry for help, by reason of the arm of the mighty;

Lo! GOD, is mighty, yet will he not despise, Mighty in vigour of mind;

Yea he might even have allured thee - out of the mouth of straitness, into a wide space - no narrowness there, - and, the food set down on thy table, should have been full of fatness.

For, to the snow, he saith, Fall earthwards, - Also to the downpour of rain, yea the downpour of his mighty rains.

Shall it be declared to him - that I would speak? Were any man to say aught, he might he destroyed?

That it might lay hold of the wings of the earth, and the lawless be shaken out of it?

At his rising up, mighty men are afraid, by reason of terror, they are beside themselves:

After him, he lighteth up a path, one might think the resounding deep to be hoary!
