Give ear to this, O Job, and keep quiet in your place; and take note of the wonders worked by God.

Has not man his ordered time of trouble on the earth? and are not his days like the days of a servant working for payment?

Let your eyes be turned away from him, and take your hand from him, so that he may have pleasure at the end of his day, like a servant working for payment.

If I have gone in false ways, or my foot has been quick in working deceit;

Take note of me and be full of wonder, put your hand on your mouth.
