And Satan answered Jehovah and said, Skin for skin, yea, all that a man hath will he give for his life;

That night let gloom seize upon it; let it not rejoice among the days of the year; let it not come into the number of the months.

Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and dig a pit for your friend.

Return, I pray you, let there be no wrong; yea, return again, my righteousness shall be in it.

Yea, thou shalt lie down, and none shall make thee afraid; and many shall seek thy favour.

But a man dieth, and is prostrate; yea, man expireth, and where is he?

Yea, thou makest piety of none effect, and restrainest meditation before God.

And where is then my hope? yea, my hope, who shall see it?

Yea, the light of the wicked shall be put out, and the flame of his fire shall not shine.

Wherefore do the wicked live, grow old, yea, become mighty in power?

Yea, then shalt thou delight thyself in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto +God:

Even him that is not innocent shall he deliver; yea, he shall be delivered by the pureness of thy hands.

Corals and crystal are no more remembered; yea, the acquisition of wisdom is above rubies.

Then did he see it, and declare it; he established it, yea, and searched it out;

Yea, whereto should the strength of their hands profit me, men in whom vigour hath perished?

And now I am their song, yea, I am their byword.

They abhor me, they stand aloof from me, yea, they spare not to spit in my face.

For this is an infamy; yea, it is an iniquity to be judged by the judges:

Yea, I gave you mine attention, and behold, there was none of you that confuted Job, that answered his words;

Yea, surely, God acteth not wickedly, and the Almighty perverteth not judgment.

Once have I spoken, and I will not answer; yea twice, but I will proceed no further.

His heart is firm as a stone, yea, firm as the nether millstone.
