Why wilt thou hide thy face, and reckon me for an enemy to thee?

Wilt thou terrify the scattered leaf? and wilt thou pursue the dry straw?

For thou wilt write bitter things against me; and thou wilt give me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

And thou wilt set my feet in the stocks, and thou wilt watch all my paths; thou wilt dig round the roots of my feet

And he as rottenness will fall away; as a garment the moth ate it.

And as a flower he will come forth, and will be cut down: and he will flee as a shadow, and shall not stand.

Also upon this one didst thou open thine eyes? and wilt thou bring Me into judgment with thee?

From the smell of water it will break forth, and make foliage as a plant

And man will die and be weak: and man will expire, and where is he?

The waters departed from the sea, and the river will be wasted and dried up;

And man lay down and he will not rise: till the heavens be no more they shall not awake and rise from their sleep.

Who will give thou wilt hide me in hades? wilt thou cover me till the turning away of thine anger? wilt thou set for me a limit, and wilt thou remember me?

If a man die, shall he live? All the days of my warfare I will wait till the coming of my change.

Thou shalt call and I will answer thee: thou wilt long for the work of thy hands.

For now thou wilt count my steps: wilt thou not watch over my sin?

My transgression is sealed up in a purse, and thou wilt patch upon mine iniguity.

The waters rubbed the stones: thou wilt overflow the flowings of the dust of the earth; and thou didst destroy the hope of man.

Thou wilt overpower him forever, and he will go away: changing his face, thou wilt send him away.

His sons will be honored and he knew not: they will be brought low, and he will not understand for them.

and EliPhaz the Temanite will answer and say,

Reproving with words he shall not profit, and speeches will be of no use in them.

Also thou wilt bring to nought, fear, and thou wilt withhold meditation before God.

For thy mouth will accustom itself to thine iniquity, and thou wilt choose the tongue of the crafty.

Thy mouth will condemn thee, and not I: and thy lips will testify against thee.

Shalt thou hear in the consultation of God? and wilt thou reserve wisdom to thyself?

What knewest thou and we shall not know? wilt thou understand and it not be with us?

That thou wilt turn thy spirit against God, and thou broughtest words from thy mouth?

What is man that he will be clean? and that he will be just, being born of woman?

Behold, in his holy ones he will, not trust; and the heavens were not clean in his eyes.

I will show thee, hear to me; and that I saw I will recount;

Which the wise ones will announce, and he hid it not from their fathers.

He will not believe to turn back from darkness, and he was waited for by the sword.

For he stretched forth his hand against God, and he will strengthen himself against the Almighty.

He will run against him upon the neck, upon the thicknesses of his shields:

For he covered his face with his fat, and he will make fatness upon the flank

And he will dwell in cities out off, the houses shall not be inhabited by them, which were ready for heaps.

He will shake off as a vine his unripe grapes, and he will cast his flower as the olive.

And Job will answer and say,

Was there an end to words of wind? or what will provoke thee that thou wilt answer?

Also I will speak as you: if it is your soul instead of my soul, I will join together with words against you, and shake my head against you upon it

I will strengthen you with my month, the moving of my lips shall hold back

If I shall speak, my pain will not be held back, and shall I cease, what will go from me?

Thou wilt lay fast hold on me to be for a testimony, and my leanness will rise up in me; it will answer against my face.

He rent in his anger, and he will lie in wait for me, gnashing upon me with his teeth; mine enemy will sharpen his eyes against me.

They gaped upon me with their mouth; with reproach they struck upon my cheek; they will fill out together against me.

God will shut me up to the evil one, and he will cast me into the hands of the unjust

I was secure, and he will break me in pieces: and he seized upon my neck and he will disperse me, and he will set me up to him for a mark:

His multitudes will surround upon me, he will cleave my reins asunder, and not spare; he will pour my gall upon the earth.

He will break me, breaking upon the face of breaking; he will run upon me as the strong one.

O earth, thou wilt not cover my blood; and shall there not be place for my cry?

Set up now, pledge me with thee: who is he will strike for my hand?

For thou didst hide their heart from understanding; for this thou wilt not exalt them.

He will commence evils for a position, and the eyes of his sons shall be consumed.

They will set the night for day: the light being near from the face of darkness.

And Bildad the Shuhite will answer and say,

How long will ye set an end to words? Ye shall understand, and afterwards we will speak.

For he was cast into a net by his feet, and he will go about upon latticework.

And Job will answer and say,

How long will ye, grieve my soul, and crush me with words?

These ten times ye will reproach me: ye will not be ashamed, ye will injure me.

If indeed I erred my error will lodge with me.

If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach:

He walled up my path and I shall not pass, and he will set darkness upon my beaten paths.

He will lay me waste round about, and I shall go: and he will remove my hope as a tree.

And he will kindle his anger against me, and he will reckon me to him as his enemy.

His troops shall come together and raise up their way against me, and they will encamp round about to my tent

I called to my servant and he will not answer; I shall entreat him with my mouth.

Also children rejected me; I shall arise, and they will speak against me.

All the men of my intimacy will abhor me, and those I loved were turned against me.

Why will ye pursue me as God, and will ye not be satisfied from my flesh?

Who will give now, and my words shall be written? who will give and they shall be delineated in a book?.

And the Naainathite will answer and say,

For this my thoughts will turn back, and because of my haste in me.

I shall hear the instruction of my shame, and the spirit of my understanding will cause me to answer.

If evil shall be sweet in his mouth he will cover it under his tongue;

He will spare over it, and forsake it not, and keep it back in the midst of his palate:

For he oppressed, forsaking the poor; he stripped the house and he will not build it up.

He will be for filling his belly, he will send upon him the burning of his anger, and will rain upon him in his eating.

Being drawn it will come forth from the body; and the lightning will go from his bile, and terrors upon him.

And Job will answer and say,

Suffer me and I will speak; and after my word ye will mock

His ox passed over and will not be cast away: his heifer will escape and will not be barren.

They will send forth their children as a flock, and their children will leap.

They will lift up with the drum and harp, and they will rejoice at the voice of the pipe.

Their days glided on in good, and in a moment they will lay hold of hades.

And they will say to God, Depart from us; and we desired not the knowledge of thy ways.

How often the light of the unjust shall be extinguished, and their destruction will come upon them. He will distribute pains in his anger.

God will lay up his iniquity for his sons: he will requite to him and be shall know.

Shall he teach knowledge to God? and he will judge those lifted up.

His sides were filled with fat, and the marrow of his bones will, be moistened.

And this will die in the soul of bitterness, and will not eat in good.

They will lie down together upon the dust, and the worm shall cover over them.

Behold, I knew your purposes, and the devices ye will shake off against me.

For ye will say, Where the house of the noble one; and where the tent of the dwellings of the unjust?

For the evil one will be spared for the day of destruction; they shalt be led away to the day of wraths

And how will ye comfort me in vain, and your answers remained treachery?

And Eliphaz the Temanite will answer and say,

Did it please to the Almighty that thou wilt be just? and if gain if thou wilt perfect thy ways?

Will he reprove thee from thy fear? Will he go with thee into judgment?

For thou wilt take a pledge of thy brethren, in vain, and the garments of the naked thou wilt strip of
