I cannot relax or be still;
I have no rest, for trouble comes.

Full grown lions die when they cannot find prey; that's when the lion cubs are scattered.

It stands still, but I cannot recognize its appearance; an image is before my eyes, and I hear a murmuring voice:

Who doeth great things, beyond all search, - Wondrous things, till they cannot be recounted;

He disappointeth the devices of the crafty, so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

I cannot bring myself to touch them; food like this makes me sick."

Am I as strong as a rock? Am I some kind of iron man?

Since I cannot help myself,
the hope for success has been banished from me.

Is there iniquity in my tongue? cannot my taste discern perverse things?

I also, cannot restrain my mouth, - I must speak, in the anguish of my spirit, I must find utterance, in the bitterness of my soul.

For, of yesterday, are, we, and cannot know, for, a shadow, are our days upon earth:

Though while still, in its freshness, it be not plucked off, yet, before any kind of grass, it doth wither:

If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

He does great things that cannot be explained, and awesome deeds that cannot be counted.

If he passes by me, I cannot see him, if he goes by, I cannot perceive him.

whom I cannot answer, even though I am righteous? From my judge I must implore grace.

You have been kind to me, and your grace has been with me, and your care has kept my spirit safe.

If I am wicked, woe to me!
And even if I am righteous, I cannot lift up my head.
I am filled with shame
and aware of my affliction.

Behold, he breaketh down, and it cannot be built again: he shutteth up a man, and there can be no opening.

Why do you hide your face and count me as your enemy?

Seeing his days are determined, the number of his months are with thee, thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;

For then you would count my steps, [but] you would not keep watch over my sin.

Whether his children come to worship or no, he cannot tell: And if they be men of low degree, he knoweth not.

Should he argue in talk [that] is not profitable or [in] words with which he cannot do good?

{He cannot trust that he will return} from darkness, and he himself is destined for [the] sword.

Mockers surround me; I cannot stop staring at their hostility all through the night.

But as for you all, do ye return, and come now: for I cannot find one wise man among you.

Behold: though I cry, yet violence is done unto me. I cannot be heard! Though I complain, there is none to give sentence with me.

He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.

They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.

“He flies away like a dream, and they cannot find him;
Even like a vision of the night he is chased away.

His children are hoping that the poor will be kind to them, and his hands give back his wealth.

In vain, he toiled, he shall not swallow, like wealth to be restored, in which he cannot exult!

For he hath oppressed - hath forsaken the poor, A house, hath he seized, which he cannot rebuild.

[As for] me, [is] my complaint for human beings? And if [so], why cannot I be impatient?

Or darkness, so that you cannot see,
And a flood of water covers you.

Clouds veil Him so that He cannot see,
as He walks on the circle of the sky.”

Behold, I go forward, but he is not there; and backward, but I cannot perceive him:

On the left hand, where he doth work, but I cannot behold him: he hideth himself on the right hand, that I cannot see him:

“A mother will forget him;
The worm feeds on him until he is no longer remembered.
And wickedness will be broken like a tree [which cannot be restored].

He is not kind to the widow, and he has no pity for her child.

Yet he carries off [the] tyrants by his strength; [if] he rises up, then he cannot be certain of life.

yea, and all they which dwell beneath in the hell are not hid from him, and the very destruction itself cannot be kept out of his sight.

No man can know its value,
since it cannot be found in the land of the living.

It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.

It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.

The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.

Coral or crystal, cannot be mentioned, Yea, a possession, is wisdom, above red coral;

“The topaz of Ethiopia cannot compare with it,
Nor can it be valued in pure gold.

They are gaunt with want and famine; They gnaw the dry ground, in the gloom of wasteness and desolation.

I am churning within and cannot rest;
days of suffering confront me.

Doth not he see my ways, and count all my steps?

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

If the men of my tabernacle said not, Oh that we had of his flesh! we cannot be satisfied.

“I would count out to Him the number of my steps [with every detail of my life],
Approaching His presence as if I were a prince.

"So that you cannot claim, "We have found wisdom!' let God do the rebuking, not man;

"They are dismayed and cannot answer any more; they have nothing left to say.

He cannot stand his food, and he has no desire for appetizing food.

His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.

Have I lied concerning the justice that I deserve? My wound is incurable, though transgression cannot be attributed to me.'

teach me yourself {what I cannot see}; if I have done wrong, I will not repeat [it]'?

“Your wickedness affects only a man such as you,
And your righteousness affects only a son of man [but it cannot affect God, who is sovereign].

Because there is wrath, beware lest he take thee away with his stroke: then a great ransom cannot deliver thee.

Yes, God is exalted beyond our knowledge;
the number of His years cannot be counted.

God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

“Now people cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies [without being blinded],
When the wind has passed and cleared them.

Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

Who can count the thin clouds, in wisdom? And, the bottles of the heavens, who can empty out;

Can you count the months they are pregnant
so you can know the time they give birth?

It explores [the] mountains [as] its pasture and searches after every kind of green plant.

Can you count on it to bring in your grain, and gather the grain to your threshing floor?

He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage, and cannot contain himself at the sound of the trumpet:

I have spoken once, but I cannot answer; twice, but I will say no more."

I cannot be silent about his limbs,
his power, and his graceful proportions.

They are close {to one another}-- even [the] air cannot come between them.

They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

He looks down on everything that is high; he rules over every kind of pride."
