Let the day perish on which I was born, and the night in which it was said, There is a male child conceived.

For the thing which I greatly feared has come upon me, and that which I was afraid of has come unto me.

Fear came upon me, and trembling, which made all my bones to shake.

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

Call now, if there be any that will answer you; and to which of the holy ones will you turn?

Can that which is tasteless be eaten without salt? or is there any taste in the white of an egg?

Which are black by reason of the ice, and in which the snow is hid:

Do you intend to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, which are as wind?

And that he would show you the secrets of wisdom, that they are double to that which is! Know therefore that God exacts of you less than your iniquity deserves.

The waters wear the stones: you wash away the things which grow out of the dust of the earth; and you destroy the hope of man.

Should he reason with unprofitable talk? or with speeches with which he can do no good?

What know you, that we know not? what understand you, which is not in us?

I will show you, hear me; and that which I have seen I will declare;

Which wise men have told from their fathers, and have not hid it:

And he dwells in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabits, which are ready to become heaps.

And you have filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me bears witness to my face.

The eye also which saw him shall see him no more; neither shall his place any more behold him.

His bones are full of the sin of his youth, which shall lie down with him in the dust.

That which he labored for shall he restore, and shall not swallow it down: from the proceeds of business he shall not rejoice.

Because he has oppressed and has forsaken the poor; because he has violently taken away a house which he built not;

Surely he shall not feel quietness in his heart, he shall not save of that which he desired.

Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which you wrongfully imagine against me.

Have you marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

In the dark they dig through houses, which they had marked for themselves in the daytime: they know not the light.

I will teach you by the hand of God: that which is with the Almighty will I not conceal.

This is the portion of a wicked man with God, and the heritage of oppressors, which they shall receive of the Almighty.

There is a path which no fowl knows, and which the falcon's eye has not seen:

I was a father to the poor: and the cause which I knew not I searched out.

Behold, my belly is as wine which has no vent; it is ready to burst like new wineskins.

He looks upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;

That which I see not you teach me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

Look unto the heavens, and see; and behold the clouds which are higher than you.

Even so would he have removed you out of the distress into a broad place, where there is no restraint; and that which should be set on your table should be full of richness.

Remember that you magnify his work, which men behold.

Which the clouds do drop and pour upon man abundantly.

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

Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten mirror?

And now men can not look on the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and clears them.

Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

By what way is the light distributed, which scatters the east wind upon the earth?

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, in which there is no man;

Which leaves her eggs in the earth, and warms them in dust,

Behold now behemoth, which I made with you; he eats grass as an ox.

Can you draw out leviathan with a hook? or his tongue with a cord which you let down?

Upon earth there is not his like, which is made without fear.

Who is he that hides counsel without knowledge? therefore have I uttered what I understood not; things too wonderful for me, which I knew not.

Therefore take unto you now seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and offer up for yourselves a burnt offering; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for him will I accept: lest I deal with you after your folly, in that you have not spoken of me the thing which is right, like my servant Job.
