A brother I have been to dragons, And a companion to daughters of the ostrich.

My skin hath been black upon me, And my bone hath burned from heat,

And my music has been turned to sorrow, and the sound of my pipe into the noise of weeping.

For what would have been my portion of +God from above, and what the heritage of the Almighty from on high?

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

If my steps have been turned out of the way, or if my heart went after my eyes, or if the property of another is in my hands;

If mine heart have been deceived by a woman, or if I have laid wait at my neighbour's door;

Surely that had been a shameful thing! and that an iniquity for the judges!

Surely, a fire, had that been, which, unto destruction, would have consumed, and, of all mine increase, had it torn up the root.

(But from my youth the orphan grew up with me as with a father,
And from my mother’s womb I have been the widow’s guide),

And he was angry with his three friends, because they had been unable to give him an answer, and had not made Job's sin clear.

but when he saw that there had been no response from those three, he got even more angry.

And my soul hath been troubled greatly, And Thou, O Jehovah, till when?

O thou Enemy, Finished have been destructions for ever, As to cities thou hast plucked up, Perished hath their memorial with them.

I will give praise to the Lord who has been my guide; knowledge comes to me from my thoughts in the night.

Therefore hath my heart been glad, And my honour doth rejoice, Also my flesh dwelleth confidently:
