You'll be protected from the accusing tongue; you need not fear destruction when it heads your way.

You'll laugh at destruction and famine; and you need not fear the beasts of the earth.

You'll know that your home is secure; when you search your possessions, and nothing will be missing.

You'll know that you'll have many children; and that your offspring will be like the grass of the earth.

You'll go to your grave at a ripe old age; like a stack of grain that's harvested at just the right time.

And loosens the belt of the strong [disabling them].

Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.

Will things go well for you under his cross-examination? Can you lie to him, as you would to a human being?

Lo, He doth slay me -- I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue.

Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have known that I am righteous.

Who can oppose me? If they do, I'll be silent and die.

Then call and I'll answer, or let me speak and then you reply to 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.

I have sewed a sackcloth upon my skin, and lie with my strength in the dust.

Also, now, lo, in the heavens is my witness, And my testifier in the high places.

For when only a few years have elapsed, I'll start down a path from which I'll never return."

Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee; who is he that will strike hands with me?

All that I have, shall go down into the pit, and lie with me in the dust."

Bear with me and let me speak! Then, after I've spoken, you'll be free to mock me.

Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.

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

Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

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

Their own eyes will see their destruction; and they'll drink the wrath of the Almighty.

They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.

Lo, I know your thoughts, and the devices ye wrongfully imagine against me.

"Get to know God, and you'll be at peace with him, and then prosperity will come to you.
