I must appeal for mercy to my Opponent and Judge.

For he that I must give answer unto, and with whom I go to law, is not a man as I am.

that you must search out my iniquity, and inquire about my sin,

‘If I am wicked, woe to me [for judgment comes]!
And if I am righteous, I dare not lift up my head.
For I am sated and filled with disgrace and the sight of my misery.

if iniquity [is] in your hand, put it far away, and you must not let wickedness reside in your tents--

"Only you must not do [these] two [things] to me; then I will not hide from your face:

“You also put my feet in the stocks [as punishment]

Whereas I, notwithstanding, must consume like as a foul carrion, and as a cloth that is moth eaten.

If his days are determined, if the number of his months is with thee, and thou hast appointed his bounds which he must not pass,

“But [the brave, strong] man must die and lie face down;
Man breathes his last, and where is he?

While he liveth, his flesh must have travail: And while the soul is in him, he must be in sorrow."

I will tell thee - hear me, Since this I have seen, I must needs declare it.

yet the number of my years are come - and I must go the way from whence I shall not turn again.

Surely mockers surround me
and my eyes must gaze at their rebellion.

But {all of you must return}--{please come}! But I shall not find a wise [person] among you.

Though I tarry never so much, yet the grave is my house, and I must make my bed in the dark.

"How long until you make an end of words? You must consider, and then we can talk.

If indeed you must magnify yourselves against me, and you must let my disgrace argue against me,

then at least you must know that God has accused me of wrong, and trapped me with his net."

The correction meant to confound me, I must hear, but, the spirit - out of my understanding, will give me a reply.

His children will beg from the poor,
for his own hands must give back his wealth.

He swallows wealth but must vomit it up;
God will force it from his stomach.

He must return the fruit of his labor without consuming it;
he doesn’t enjoy the profits from his trading.

Then shall he be fain to be buried among the stones by the brookside. All men must follow him, and there are innumerable gone before him.

“They cause the poor to go about naked without clothing,
And they take away the sheaves [of grain] from the hungry.

“They must dwell on the slopes of wadis

"Surely someone must not send a hand against [the] needy when, in his misfortune, [there is] a cry of help for them.

Lest ye should say, We have found out wisdom. GOD, must put him to flight, not man.

“I must speak so that I may get relief;
I will open my lips and answer.

I must needs be a liar, though my cause be right, and violently am I plagued whereas I made no fault.'

Shall his recompense be as thou wilt, that thou refusest it? For thou must choose, and not I: Therefore speak what thou knowest.

How much less when thou sayest thou wilt not regard him! The cause, is before him, and thou must wait for him.

And he reveals this for correction, and says that they must turn from evil.

“You [must] know, since you were born then,
And because you are so extremely old!

Do you count the months they must fulfill, and do you know the time they give birth?

"Shall a faultfinder contend with Shaddai? Anyone who argues with God must answer it."

"I must look insignificant to you! How can I answer you? I'm speechless.

The wicked must be turned unto hell, and all the people that forget God.

While the ungodly hath the overhand, the poor must suffer persecution; let them be taken in the crafty wiliness that they have imagined!

How long must I take counsel in my soul,
Having sorrow in my heart day after day?
How long will my enemy exalt himself and triumph over me?

From men who are thy hand, O Yahweh, From the men of this age, whose portion, is among the living, and, with thy treasure, thou fillest their bosom, - They must be satisfied with sons, And must leave their abundance to their children: -

Even when I must walk through the darkest valley, I fear no danger, for you are with me; your rod and your staff reassure me.

I will make thee discreet, I will point out to thee the way which thou must go, I will fix upon thee mine eye.

Be ye not as the horse, or as the mule, which have no understanding: whose mouth must be held in with bit and bridle, lest they come near unto thee.

I say to God, my rock, "Why have you forgotten me? Why must I walk about mourning because of [the] oppression of [the] enemy?"

because you [are] the God of my refuge. Why have you rejected me? Why must I go about mourning because of [the] oppression of [the] enemy?

(For the redemption of their soul is costly, and must be given up for ever,)

Listen to me and answer me;
I am restless and distraught in my complaint and distracted

My life is among lions;
I must lie among those who breathe out fire—
The sons of men whose teeth are spears and arrows,
And their tongue a sharp sword.

More numerous than the hairs of my head are [those] hating me without a cause. [Those who are] destroying me--my enemies wrongfully-- are mighty. What I did not steal, I then must restore.

And all the wicked of the earth must drain it and drink down to its dregs.

We must not hide them from their children,
but must tell a future generation
the praises of the Lord,
His might, and the wonderful works
He has performed.

There must not be a strange god among you;
you must not bow down to a foreign god.

I will listen to what God the Lord says. For he will make peace with his people, his faithful followers. Yet they must not return to their foolish ways.

Turn back toward us, O Lord! How long must this suffering last? Have pity on your servants!

All who serve carved images,
those who boast in idols, will be put to shame.
All the gods must worship Him.

How many are the days of Your servant [which he must endure]?
When will You execute judgment on those who persecute me?

Even when I must walk in the midst of danger, you revive me. You oppose my angry enemies, and your right hand delivers me.

At all times, doth a friend love, and, a brother for distress, must be born.

A man’s stomach will be satisfied with the fruit of his mouth;

A man of great wrath shall suffer punishment: for if thou deliver him, yet thou must do it again.

If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct.
