A man as in the land of Uz, Job his name; and that man was blameless and upright, and fearing God, and departing from evil.

And they sat with him upon, the earth seven days and seven nights, and none spake a word to him: for they saw that grief was great exceedingly.

The day shall perish I shall bring forth in it, and the night said, A male was conceived.

To a man whose way was hid, and God will hedge about him?

For I feared a fear, and it will come upon me, and what I was afraid of will come to me.

I was not secure, and I rested not, and I was not quiet; and trouble will come.

He took the wise in their craftiness, and the counsel of the perverse was headlong.

For with the stones of the field they covenant, and the beast of the field was at peace with thee.

So was I caused to possess to me months of vanity, and nights of toil were allotted to me.

If I lay down, and I said, When shall I arise, and the evening be measured? And I was filled with tossings even to the twilight

And my flesh was clothed with worms, and a clod of dust; my akin was contracted and melted away.

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

And thy beginning was small, and thy latter state shall increase greatly.

It was moist before the sun, and its sprout will come forth upon his garden.

Wise of heart and strong of power: who was hard before him and shall be requited?

Whom, if I was just, I shall not answer; I will make supplication to my judge.

The earth was given into the hand of the unjust one: he will cover the faces of her judges; if not now, who is it?

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

My soul was weary in my life; I shall leave upon me my complaint; I shall speak in the bitterness of my soul

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;

I shall be as I was not; I shall be brought from the womb to the grave.

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

To them alone the earth was given, and a stranger passed not in the midst of them.

He will not believe to turn back from darkness, and he was waited for by the sword.

He wandered about for bread, where he knew that the day of darkness was ready at his hand.

Before his day it shall be completed, and his branch was not green.

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

I was secure, and he will break me in pieces: and he seized upon my neck and he will disperse me, and he will set me up to him for a mark:

The light was darkened in his tent, and his lamp shall be extinguished for him.

For he was cast into a net by his feet, and he will go about upon latticework.

They sojourning in my house and my maids, mill reckon me for a stranger: I was a foreigner in their eyes.

My spirit was loathsome to my wife, and I entreated to the sons of my belly.

For ye shall say, Why shall we pursue after him and the root of the word was found in me?

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

His bread in his bowels was turned, the gall of asps in his midst

Nothing was left to his food; for this his good shall not be stable.

Their seed was established before their face with them, and their offspring before their eyes.

Behold, their good not in the hand: the counsel of the unjust was far from me.

And he filled their houses with good: and the counsel of the unjust was far from me.

And the Almighty was thy gold and silver of labors to thee.

He will deliver the island of the innocent: and it was delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

For I was not cut off from the face of darkness, and he covered misfortune from my face.

He bound up the waters in his clouds, and the cloud was not rent under them.

Behold these the ends of his ways; how transient a sound of the word was heard in him! and the thunder of his might who shall understand?

The earth, from it will come forth bread, and under it was turned as fire.

As I was in the days of my ripeness, in the intercourse of God upon my tent;

The voice the leaders hid, and their tongue was joined to their palate.

Eyes was I to the blind one, and feet to the lame was I.

I was a father to the needy, and the contention I knew not I shall search it out

And now I was their song, and I to them for a by word.

If I wept not for him being hard of day: my soul was grieved for the needy.

I was a brother to jackals, and a companion to the daughters of the ostrich.

My skin was black from above me, and my bones burnt from heat

If my heart was seduced by woman, and I laid wait at the door of my neighbor;

And the anger of Elihu will kindle, son of Barachel the Buzite, from the family of Ram: against Job was, his anger kindled, for his justifying his soul above God.

And against his three friends was his anger kindled, because they, found not an answer, and they will condemn Job.

And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite will answer and say, I few for days, and ye old men; for this I was afraid, and I shall fear showing you my knowledge.

For I was filled with words, the spirit of my belly pressed upon me.

Behold, I am according to thy mouth for God: from clay was I also broken off

And he was chastened with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones perpetually.

He will look upon men, and he shall say, I sinned, and I perverted the right, and it was not fitting to me;

For Job said, I was just: and God removed my judgment

Shall I speak falsehood against my judgment? mine arrow was desperate without transgression.

For he said to God, I was lifted up, I will pervert no more.

Behold, God is great, and we shall not know the number of his years, and it was not searched out

Behold, I was vile; what shall I turn back to thee? I put my hand to my mouth.

Behold, his hope was false: shall he not be cast down at his sight?

The bludgeon was reckoned to him for stubble: and he will laugh at the shaking of the javelin.

And it will be after Jehovah spake these words to Job, and Jehovah will say to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger was kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye spake not the right before me as my servant Job.

And Jehovah turned back the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends: and Jehovah added all which was to Job, to the double.
