But, in very deed, put forth, I pray thee, thy hand, and smite all that he hath, - verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.

In very deed, put forth, I pray thee thy hand, and smite unto his bone, and unto his flesh, - verily, unto thy face, will he curse thee.

Wherefore, in the womb, did I not die? From the womb, come forth and cease to breathe?

But, in very deed, oh that GOD would speak, that he would open his lips with thee:

But, in very deed, ask, I pray thee, the beasts, and they will teach thee, and the bird of the heavens, and it will tell thee;

But, in very deed, a mountain falling, will lie prostrate, or, a rock moved out of its place:

Did, I, unto man, make my complaint? Wherefore, then, should my spirit not be impatient?

Because I was not cut off before the darkness, nor, before my face, did the gloom form a shroud.

The voice of nobles, was hushed, and their tongue to their palate, did cleave;

Verily I walked not in falsity, nor did my foot haste unto deceit: -

Did not he who, in the womb, made me, make him? And is not he who formed us in the body one?

Or, used to eat my morsel alone, so that the fatherless did not eat thereof;

If his loins did not bless me, or if, with the fleece of my lambs, he did not warm himself;

Neither did I suffer my palate to sin, by asking, with a curse, for his life:

If, against me, my ground used to cry out, and, together, my ridges did weep;

But, in very deed, hear, I pray thee, Job, my discourse, and, to all my words, give thou ear.

To turn a son of earth from his deed, while yet, pride, from man he concealeth:

Forasmuch, as they turned from following him, and, none of his ways, did they teach;

Then hath he declared to them their deed, and their transgressions - that they were wont to behave themselves proudly;

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did according to that which Yahweh had spoken unto them, - and Yahweh accepted Job.

Then came unto him all his brethren and all his sisters, and all his former acquaintances, and they did eat bread with him in his house, - and shewed sympathy with him and comforted him, over all the calamity which Yahweh had brought upon him, - and they gave him, every one a weight of money, and every one, a ring of gold.
