Watch thyself; thou shalt not turn to iniquity: for upon this thou didst choose rather than affliction.

For by them he will judge the peoples; he will give food to abundance.

Hearing, hear ye, to the noise of his voice, and the growling going out from his mouth.

For he will say to the snow, Be it on earth; and to the shower of rain, and to the shower of the rains of his strength.

He will seal in the hand of every man, for all men to know his work.

Being turned by his guidance to their doing all that he commanded them upon the face of the habitable globe of the earth.

Give ear to this, O Job: stand and consider the wonders of God.

Shalt thou know in God's setting upon them, and he caused the light of his cloud to shine?

Wilt thou spread out with him to the clouds, strong as the sight of a melted mass?

Make known to us what we shall say to him we shall not set in order from the face of darkness.

Shall it be recounted to him that I shall speak? If a man spake, then shall he be swallowed down.

Gird now thy loins as a man; and I will ask thee, and make thou known to me.

And saying, Even to this shalt thou come, and thou shalt not add: and here in the pride of thy waves, stand thou.

To take hold upon the wings of the earth, and the unjust shall be shaken out of it?

It shall be turned as clay to the seal; and they shall stand as clothing.

Didst thou go even to the fountains of the sea? and didst thou go about in searching the depth?

Were the gates of death uncovered to thee? and shalt thou see the gates of the shadow of death?

Wilt thou consider even to the breadth of the earth? Announce if thou knewest all of it

That thou shalt take it to its bound, and that thou shalt understand the beaten paths of its house?

Which I kept back for the time of straits, for the day of encounter and war?

To cause it to rain upon the earth, not a man; the wilderness not a man in it?

To satisfy the desolation and burning, and to cause the springing up of the finding of the tender grass?

Is there a father to the rain? or who begat the reservoirs of the dew?

Wilt thou lift up thy voice to the cloud, and abundance of waters shall cover thee?

Shalt thou send lightnings, and shall they go and shall they say to thee, Behold us?

Who put wisdom in the reins? or who gave understanding to the mind?

Who shall number the clouds in wisdom? and who shall cause the bottles of heaven to lie down?

For they will sink down in the dwellings; they will dwell in the thicket to lie in wait

Who will prepare for the raven his food? for his young will cry to God; they will wander without food.

Their sons will be fat, they will increase with grain; they will go forth and not turn back to them.

To whom did I set the desert his house, and the salt land his dwellings?

Will the buffalo be willing to serve thee, or will he lodge by thy stall?

Wilt thou trust in him because great his strength? and wilt thou leave to him thy labor?

Wilt thou believe in him that he will turn back thy seed and gather to thy threshing-floor?

For she will leave her eggs to the earth, and she will warm them in the dust;

She made hard to her sons as not to her: her labor in vain without fear;

For God caused her to forget wisdom, and he divided not to her in understanding.

Wilt thou give strength to the horse? wilt thou clothe his neck with thunder?

Wilt thou cause him to tremble as the locust? the glory of his snorting is terror.

They will dig in the valley, and he will rejoice in strength: he will go forth to the meeting of the weapon.

He will say according to the multitude of the trumpet, Aha! and he will smell the battle from far off, the thunder of the chiefs, and the war cry.

From thy understanding will the hawk mount upwards? will it stretch its wings to the south?

Behold, I was vile; what shall I turn back to thee? I put my hand to my mouth.

Gird up now thy loins as a man; I will ask thee, and do thou make known to me.

And if an arm to thee as God? and with thy voice wilt thou thunder as he?

And also I will confess to thee that thy right hand shall save for thee.

Will he multiply supplications to thee? will he speak soft things to thee?

Who anticipated me, and I will recompense? under all the heavens it is to me.

His sneezings a light will shine, and his eyes as the eyelashes of the dawning of day.

The son of the bow shall not cause him to flee: sling-stones were turned to him for stubble.

The bludgeon was reckoned to him for stubble: and he will laugh at the shaking of the javelin.

He will cause the deep to boil as a pot: he will set the sea as ointment

He will cause a beaten path to shine after him: the deep will be reckoned to be hoary.

I knew that thou wilt be able to do all, and counsel shall not be restrained from thee.

Hear, now, and I will speak: I will ask thee and make thou known to me.

And it will be after Jehovah spake these words to Job, and Jehovah will say to Eliphaz the Temanite, Mine anger was kindled against thee, and against thy two friends: for ye spake not the right before me as my servant Job.

And now take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go to my servant Job, and bring up a burnt-offering for yourselves; and my servant Job shall pray for you: for his face I will accept, so as not to do with you for folly, for ye spake not to me the right as my servant Job.

And Eliphaz the Temanite, and Bildad the Shuhite, Zophar the Naamathite, will go, and they will do according as God Jehovah spake: and Jehovah will accept the face of Job.

And Jehovah turned back the captivity of Job in his praying for his friends: and Jehovah added all which was to Job, to the double.

And there will come to him all his brethren and all his sisters, and all knowing him before; and they will eat bread with him in his house: and they will deplore for him, and they will comfort him upon all the evil which Jehovah brought upon him: and they will give to him tack one weight, and each one ring of gold.

And Jehovah blessed the latter state of Job more than his beginning: and there will be to him fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand she-asses.

And there will be to him seven sons and three daughters.

And women were not found fair as the daughters of Job, in all the land: and their father will give to them an inheritance in the midst of their brethren.

And Job will die, old and full of days.

But his delight is in the law of Jehovah, and in his law he will meditate day and night

And he was as a tree planted by the streams of water which will give its fruit in its time; his leaf shall not fall away, and all which he shall do shall be prospered.

He dwelling in the heavens shall laugh: Jehovah shall deride to them.

Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and in his burning shall he tery them.

I will recount for a law of Jehovah: He said to me, Thou my son; this day I begat thee.

Many saying to my soul, No salvation to him in God. Silence.

With my voice will I call to Jehovah, and he will answer me from his holy mountain. Silence.

To Jehovah salvation: upon thy people thy blessing. Silence.

To the overseer upon the stringed instruments; chanting of David. In my calling, answer me, O God of my justice: in straits thou didst enlarge me; compassionate me and hear my prayer.

And know ye that Jehovah separated the kind one to himself: Jehovah will hear in my calling to him.

Sacrifice ye the sacrifices of justice, and trust to Jehovah.

Many saying, Who will cause us to see good? Lift up upon us the light of thy face, O Jehovah.

In peace together shall I lie down, and I shall sleep: for thou Jehovah alone wilt cause me to dwell confidently.

To the overseer of the pipes; chanting of David. Give ear to my sayings, O Jehovah; attend to my cry.

Attend to the voice of my supplication, my King and my God: for to thee will I pray.

O Jehovah, the morning thou wilt hear my voice; the morning I will set in order to thee, and I will look about.

And I in the multitude of thy mercy will come into thy house; I will worship to thy holy temple in thy fear.

To the overseer upon the stringed instruments upon the octave, chanting of David. O Jehovah, not in thine anger wilt thou correct me, and not in thy wrath wilt thou chastise me.

For in death none remembering thee: in hades who shall give thanks to thee?

I was wearied with my sighing all the night I shall make my bed to swim with my tears; I shall make my couch to flow.

Song of David which he sang to Jehovah upon the words of Cush, son of the right hand. O Jehovah my God, in thee I put My trust: save me from all pursuing me, and deliver me:

The enemy will pursue my soul, and overtake; and he will tread down my life to the earth, and he will cause mine honor to dwell upon the dust Silence.

Arise, O Jehovah, in thine anger, lift up thyself for the wrath of mine enemies: and awake to me the judgment thou didst command.

Jehovah shall judge peoples: judge me, O Jehovah, according to my justice, and according to mine integrity upon me.

Now shall the evil of the unjust come to an end; and thou wilt direct the just one: for the just God tried hearts and reins.

And he prepared to himself the instruments of death; he will work his arrows for those inflaming.

I will confess to Jehovah according to his justice: and I will play on the harp to the name of Jehovah most high.

To the overseer upon the stringed instrument, chanting of David. O Jehovah our Lord, how mighty thy name in all the earth! who will set thy majesty over the heavens.

Out of the mouth of children and sucklings thou hast founded strength on account of thine enemies, to cause the enemy and the avenger to cease.

To the overseer upon the death of Laban, chanting of David. I will praise, O Jehovah, with all my heart; I will recount all thy wonderful works.

I will be glad and rejoice in thee: I will play on the harp to thy name, O Most High.

Play on the harp to Jehovah dwelling in Zion: announce among the peoples his doings.

Put fear to them, O Jehovah: the nations shall know they are man. Silence.

The unjust according to the height of his anger, will not seek: God is not in all his thoughts.

Saying in his heart, I shall not be moved: to generation and generation for not in evil.

Sitting in ambush of the enclosures: in hiding-places he will slay the innocent: his eyes will be hid to the afflicted.
