and he saith, 'Naked came I forth from the womb of my mother, and naked I turn back thither: Jehovah hath given and Jehovah hath taken: let the name of Jehovah be blessed.'

In all this Job hath not sinned, nor given folly to God.

And the Adversary answereth Jehovah and saith, 'A skin for a skin, and all that a man hath he doth give for his life.

Yet I -- I inquire for God, And for God I give my word,

Is it because I said, Give to me? And, By your power bribe for me?

Earth hath been given Into the hand of the wicked one. The face of its judges he covereth, If not -- where, who is he?

To them alone was the land given, And a stranger passed not over into their midst:

His sons do the poor oppress, And his hands give back his wealth.

Who doth declare to his face his way? And for that which he hath done, Who doth give recompence to him?

Because of enmity men do groan, And the soul of pierced ones doth cry, And God doth not give praise.

What -- thou hast given counsel to the unwise, And wise plans in abundance made known.

Gold is not given for it, Nor is silver weighed -- its price.

I laugh unto them -- they give no credence, And the light of my face cause not to fall.

Lo, I have waited for your words, I give ear unto your reasons, Till ye search out sayings.

Let me not, I pray you, accept the face of any, Nor unto man give flattering titles,

For I have not known to give flattering titles, In a little doth my Maker take me away.

And yet, I pray thee, O Job, Hear my speech and to all my words give ear.

Hear, O wise men, my words, And, O knowing ones, give ear to me.

And if there is understanding, hear this, Give ear to the voice of my words.

If thou hast been righteous, What dost thou give to Him? Or what from thy hand doth He receive?

From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,

Who hath put in the inward parts wisdom? Or who hath given To the covered part understanding?

For God hath caused her to forget wisdom, And He hath not given a portion To her in understanding:

Dost thou give to the horse might? Dost thou clothe his neck with a mane?

And there have not been found women fair as the daughters of Job in all the land, and their father doth give to them an inheritance in the midst of their brethren.
