And Jehovah will say to the adversary, From whence wilt thou come? And the adversary will answer Jehovah, and say, From running to and fro in the earth, and from walking about in it.

And Jehovah will say to the adversary, Didst thou set thy heart to my servant Job? for none like him in the earth; a man blameless and upright, fearing God and departing from evil.

Didst thou, not hedge about him and about his house, and about all that is to him from round about? Thou didst bless the work of his hands, and his possession spread abroad in the earth.

And Jehovah will say to the adversary, Behold, all that is to him in thy hand: only upon him thou shalt not send. forth thy hand. And the adversary will go forth from the face of Jehovah.

And Jehovah will say to the adversary, From whence wilt thou come? And the adversary will answer to Jehovah and say, From running to and fro in the earth, and from walking about in it

And Jehovah will say to the adversary, Didst thou set thy heart to my servant Job, that none like him in the earth, a man blameless and upright, fearing God and departing from evil? And yet he holding fast upon his integrity, and thou wilt stimulate me to destroy him without cause.

And his wife will say to him, Yet thou art holding fast upon thine integrity: praise God and die.

And he will say to her, According to the word of one of the foolish women thou wilt speak. Shall we also receive good from God, and shall we not receive evil? In all this. Job sinned not with his lips.

Trying the word to thee shalt thou be weary? who shall be able to with hold in speaking?

Behold, thou didst instruct many, and thou wilt strengthen the weak hands.

Thy words will raise up the weak and thou wilt strengthen the bent knees.

But now it shall come to thee and thou wilt be wearied; it will touch even to thee, and thou wilt tremble.

Call now, if there is answering thee; and to whom from the holy ones wilt thou turn?

Behold, happy the man God shall rebuke him: and thou shalt not reject the correction of the Almighty:

In the scourge of the tongue thou shalt be hid, and thou shalt not be afraid of desolation when it shall come.

At desolation and at hunger thou shalt laugh, and from the beasts of the earth thou shalt not fear.

And thou knewest that thy tent is peace, and thou reviewedst thy dwelling, and thou shalt not sin.

And thou knewest the multitude of thy seed, and thine offspring as the grass of the earth.

Thou shalt come in old age to thy grave, as the ascending of a heap of sheaves in its time.

Behold this, we searched it out, so it is: hear it, and know thou for thyself.

Am I the sea, or a dragon, that thou wilt set a watch over me?

And thou didst terrify me with dreams, and thou wilt make me afraid with visions:

What is man that thou wilt magnify him? and that thou wilt set thy heart to him?

And thou wilt review him for the mornings, and thou wilt try him for the moments.

How long wilt thou not look away from me? wilt thou not desist from me even to my swallowing down my spittle?

I sinned; what shall I do to thee, guarding men? wherefore didst thou set me for an assault to thee, and I shall be upon myself for a burden?

And why wilt thou not lift up my transgression and pass over mine iniquity? for now I shall lie down to the dust; and thou soughtest me and I was not

How long wilt thou speak these things? and the great spirit of the words of thy mouth?

If thou shalt seek to God, if thou shalt make supplication to him;

If thou wert pure and upright, for now he will awake for thee and requite the habitation of thy justice.

Behold, he will catch and who shall turn him? and who shall say to him, What wilt thou do?

I was afraid of all my pains, I knew that thou wilt not acquit me.

Then thou wilt immerse me in the ditch, and my garments abhorred me.

Saying to God, Thou wilt not condemn me; make known to me for what thou wilt contend with me.

Is it good to thee that thou wilt oppress, that thou wilt despise the labor of thy hinds, and thou didst shine upon the counsels of the unjust?

Were eyes of flesh to thee? or wilt thou see as man saw?

That thou wilt seek for mine iniquity, and wilt search out for my sins?

Thy hands formed me, and they will work me together round about; and thou wilt swallow me down.

Remember now, thou didst make me as day; and thou wilt turn me back to dust.

Wilt thou not weigh me out as milk, and coagulate me as cheese?

Thou wilt clothe me with skin and flesh, and thou wilt hedge me with bones and sinews.

Thou didst with me life and mercy, and thy reviewing watched my spirit

And these thou didst hide in thy heart: I knew that this is with thee.

If I sinned; and thou didst watch me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

If I did evil, wo to me; and was I just, I shall not lift up my head, being filled with dishonor: and see thou mine affliction;

And shall it be lifted up? Thou wilt hunt me as the lion, and thou wilt turn back, thou wilt show thyself wonderful upon me.

Thou wilt renew thy testimonies before me, and thou wilt increase thy wrath upon me; changes and war with me.

And wherefore didst thou bring Me forth from the belly? I shall expire, and eye shall not see me.

Shall thy empty talks cause men to be silent? and wilt thou deride and none making ashamed?

And thou wilt say, My instruction is pure, and I was clean in thine eyes.

And he shall announce to thee hidden things of wisdom, for they are the double for understanding. And know thou that God will set to thee from thine iniquity.

Searching shalt thou and God? Shalt thou find the Almighty even to completeness?

The heavens being high, what wilt thou do? Hades being deep, what wilt thou know?

If thou preparedst thy heart, and didst spread thy hands towards him;

For then thou shalt lift up thy face from spot; and thou wert firm, and thou shalt not fear:

For thou shalt forget toil, then shalt remember as waters they passed away.

And life shall rise above the noonday: thou shalt shine forth, thou shalt be as the morning

And thou didst trust, for there is hope; and thou didst search out; thou shalt lie down confidently.

And thou shalt lie down and none terrifying; and many waited for thy face.

Only two things thou wilt not do with me: then I shall not hide from thy face.

And call and I will answer, and I shall speak, and turn thou to me.

Why wilt thou hide thy face, and reckon me for an enemy to thee?

Wilt thou terrify the scattered leaf? and wilt thou pursue the dry straw?

For thou wilt write bitter things against me; and thou wilt give me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

And thou wilt set my feet in the stocks, and thou wilt watch all my paths; thou wilt dig round the roots of my feet

Also upon this one didst thou open thine eyes? and wilt thou bring Me into judgment with thee?

If his days are determined, the number of his months with thee; thou madest his limit; he shall not pass over.

Who will give thou wilt hide me in hades? wilt thou cover me till the turning away of thine anger? wilt thou set for me a limit, and wilt thou remember me?

Thou shalt call and I will answer thee: thou wilt long for the work of thy hands.

For now thou wilt count my steps: wilt thou not watch over my sin?

My transgression is sealed up in a purse, and thou wilt patch upon mine iniguity.

The waters rubbed the stones: thou wilt overflow the flowings of the dust of the earth; and thou didst destroy the hope of man.

Thou wilt overpower him forever, and he will go away: changing his face, thou wilt send him away.

Also thou wilt bring to nought, fear, and thou wilt withhold meditation before God.

For thy mouth will accustom itself to thine iniquity, and thou wilt choose the tongue of the crafty.

Shalt thou be the firm man born? and hadst thou a beginning before the hills?

Shalt thou hear in the consultation of God? and wilt thou reserve wisdom to thyself?

What knewest thou and we shall not know? wilt thou understand and it not be with us?

That thou wilt turn thy spirit against God, and thou broughtest words from thy mouth?

Was there an end to words of wind? or what will provoke thee that thou wilt answer?

But now he made me weary: thou hast made desolate all mine assembly.

Thou wilt lay fast hold on me to be for a testimony, and my leanness will rise up in me; it will answer against my face.

O earth, thou wilt not cover my blood; and shall there not be place for my cry?

For thou didst hide their heart from understanding; for this thou wilt not exalt them.

I called to the pit: Grave, thou my father: and to the worm, My mother, and my sister.

Thou knewest this from everlasting when man was set upon the earth:

Did it please to the Almighty that thou wilt be just? and if gain if thou wilt perfect thy ways?

For thou wilt take a pledge of thy brethren, in vain, and the garments of the naked thou wilt strip of

Thou wilt not give to the weary one water to drink, and from the hungry one thou wilt withhold bread.

Thou didst send away widows empty, and the arms of the orphans will be broken.

Or darkness thou wilt not see; and abundance of waters shall cover thee.

And thou saidst How shall God know? Shall he judge in the cloud of darkness?

Wilt thou watch the path of old which men of iniquity trod?

If thou wilt turn back even to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt remove iniquity far off from thy tent

Place thou gold upon the dust, and the precious ore of the torrents of Ophir.

For then upon the Almighty shalt thou delight thyself, and thou shalt lift up thy face to God.

And thou shalt pray to him, and he will hear thee, and thou shalt repay thy vows.

And thou shalt decide the word, and it shall be set up to thee: and the light shone upon thy ways.

For they were humbled, and thou wilt say, A lifting up; and he will save him depressed of eyes.

How didst thou help to him of no strength? didst thou save the arm of no strength?
