Lo, these are the borders of his ways; but what a whisper of a word do we hear of him! And the thunder of his power, who can understand?

Truly, there is no deceit in my lips, and my tongue does not say what is false.

For what is the hope of the profane, When He doth cut off? When God doth cast off his soul?

“I will instruct you in the power of God;
What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

"This is what a wicked person inherits from God, and what the ruthless will receive from the Almighty:

what he stores up a righteous man will wear, and an innocent man will inherit his silver.

Rivers flow out of the rocks, and look: what is pleasant, his eye seeth it.

“He dams up the streams from flowing,
And what is hidden he brings out to the light.

By me the great teeth of the evil-doer were broken, and I made him give up what he had violently taken away.

After I spoke, they had nothing to say, when what I said hit them.

Furthermore, what could I have gained from men whose strength is gone?

A covenant I made for mine eyes, And what -- do I attend to a virgin?

And what is the portion of God from above? And the inheritance of the Mighty from the heights?

what I've planted, let another eat or let my crops be uprooted."

Then what do I do when God ariseth? And when He doth inspect, What do I answer Him?

If I have refused to give the poor what they desired, or caused the eyes of the widow to fail,

For I'm terrified of what calamity God may have in store for me; and I cannot endure his grandeur."

If only God would give ear to me, and the Ruler of all would give me an answer! or if what he has against me had been put in writing!

Barachel's son Elihu from Buz responded and said: "I'm younger than you are. Because you're older, I was terrified to tell you what I know.

I said to myself, It is right for the old to say what is in their minds, and for those who are far on in years to give out wisdom.

It is not the old who are wise, and those who are full of years have not the knowledge of what is right.

Therefore I'm saying, "Listen to me!' Then I'll declare what I know.

“Behold, I waited for your words,
I listened to your reasonings,
While you pondered what to say.

“I even paid close attention to [what] you [said],
Indeed, not one of you convinced Job [nor could you refute him],
Not one of you supplied [satisfactory] answers to his words.

"I will contribute my arguments as an answer; I'll declare what I know,

Let me say what is in my mind, so that I may get comfort; let me give answer with open mouth.

"Now please listen to what I have to say, Job. Listen to every word!

I speak from the innocence of my heart; and my lips will utter what I sincerely know.

"You spoke clearly so I could hear; I've heard what you've said:

Why are you arguing with him? He doesn't have to give explanations for what he does to you!

Then he makes his secrets clear to men, so that they are full of fear at what they see;

“If there is an angel as mediator for him,
One out of a thousand,
To remind a man what is right for him,

"He'll sing to mankind with these words: "I've sinned. I have twisted what is right. Yet he has not repaid me like I deserve.

Take note O Job, give ear to me; keep quiet, while I say what is in my mind.

"Listen to what I have to say, you wise men! Pay attention to me, you educated people!

Judgment let us choose for ourselves, Let us know among ourselves what is good.

"What man is like Job, who drinks mockery like water,

"Therefore you men of understanding, listen to me! Far be it for God to practice wickedness, or the Almighty to do what is wrong,

For, what any son of earth doeth, he repayeth him, and, according to every man's course, he causeth him to find.

What's more, God truly does not act wickedly, and Shaddai does not pervert justice.

If you have understanding, listen to this! Pay attention to what I have to say:

For he will not lay upon man more than what is right; that he should enter into judgment with God.

What I don't see, instruct me! If I've done anything evil, I won't repeat it!'

By thee doth He recompense, That thou hast refused -- That thou dost choose, and not I? And what thou hast known, speak.

For else the men of understanding and wisdom, that have heard me, might say: 'What canst thou speak?'

Job has been speaking from his own ignorance, and what he has to say lacks insight!

What [is] this thou think in judgment? Who are thou that thou said, I am righteousness before LORD?

For thou sayest, 'What doth it profit Thee! What do I profit from my sin?'

If thou hast sinned, what dost thou against Him? And thy transgressions have been multiplied, What dost thou to Him?

If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?

But God will not give ear to what is false, or the Ruler of all take note of it;

And Job's mouth is open wide to give out what is of no profit, increasing words without knowledge.

"Hold thee still a little, and I shall show thee what I have yet to speak on God's behalf.

I'll take what I know to its logical conclusion and ascribe righteousness to my Creator,

because what I have to say isn't deceptive, and the one who has perfect knowledge is with you."

Then he makes clear to them what they have done, even their evil works in which they have taken pride.

And what's more, he allured you {out of distress} [into] a broad place, [where] in place of it [was] no constraint; and [what] was set on your table is full of fatness.

Who has prescribed his ways for him? Or said to him, 'You have done what is wicked'?

"God is truly awesome, beyond what we know; the number of his years is unknowable.

His thunder declares his presence; and tells the animals what is coming."

"He puts a limit to the skill of every person; to delineate all people from what they do.

Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.

Shall it be told him what I say? Should a man speak, or should he keep it back?

"Who is this who keeps darkening my counsel without knowing what he's talking about?

On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?

"In what direction does light reside, and darkness, where is its place,

By what way is the light parted, and the east wind scattered upon the earth?

What time she lasheth herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

Lo, I have been vile, What do I return to Thee? My hand I have placed on my mouth.

I have said once, and even twice, what was in my mind, but I will not do so again.

lo, how strong he is in his loins, and what power he hath in the navel of his body.

What you see as a raging river doesn't alarm him; he is confident when the Jordan overflows.

Only put your hand on him, and see what a fight you will have; you will not do it again!

You asked, "Who is this that darkens counsel without knowledge?' Well now, I have talked about what I don't understand awesome things beyond me that I don't know.

Give ear to me, and I will say what is in my mind; I will put questions to you, and you will give me the answers.

For this cause I give witness that what I said is false, and in sorrow I take my seat in the dust.

It came about after the Lord had spoken these words to Job, that the Lord said to Eliphaz the Temanite, “My wrath is kindled against you and against your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant Job has.

Now therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray for you. For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has.”

So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went, and did what Yahweh commanded them, and Yahweh accepted Job.

So the Lord restored what Job had lost after he prayed for his friends, and the Lord doubled all that had belonged to Job.

So now, you kings, do what is wise; you rulers of the earth, submit to correction!

You people, how long will you malign my reputation? How long will you love what is vain and what is false? Interlude

For the music director, to be accompanied by wind instruments; a psalm of David. Listen to what I say, Lord! Carefully consider my complaint!

There is nothing reliable in what they say;
Their inward part is destruction itself.
Their throat is an open grave;
They flatter with their tongue.

O Lord my God, if I have done what they say, or am guilty of unjust actions,

what is man that you take notice of him, or the son of man that you pay attention to him?

Sing praises to the Lord, who rules in Zion! Tell the nations what he has done!

The LORD has made himself known, executing judgment. The wicked are ensnared by what their hands have made. Interlude

Yes, the wicked man boasts because he gets what he wants; the one who robs others curses and rejects the Lord.

For what did the unjust one despise God, saying in his heart, Thou wilt not search?

When the foundations are destroyed, what can the godly accomplish?"

May the Lord rain down burning coals and brimstone on the wicked! A whirlwind is what they deserve!

The wicked wander everywhere,
and what is worthless is exalted by the human race.

For the music director; by David. Fools say to themselves, "There is no God." They sin and commit evil deeds; none of them does what is right.

Everyone rejects God; they are all morally corrupt. None of them does what is right, not even one!

Whoever lives a blameless life, does what is right, and speaks honestly.

Make a just decision on my behalf! Decide what is right!

Concerning what people do:
by the word of Your lips
I have avoided the ways of the violent.

I call to you for you will answer me, O God. Listen to me! Hear what I say!

From men with Your hand, O Lord,
From men of the world [these moths of the night] whose portion [of enjoyment] is in this life—idle and vain,
And whose belly You fill with Your treasure;
They are satisfied with children,
And they leave what they have left [of wealth] to their children.
