For now, I have lain down, and am quiet, I have slept -- then there is rest to me,

But now, it cometh in unto thee, And thou art weary; It striketh unto thee, and thou art troubled.

For now, than the sands of the sea it is heavier, Therefore my words have been rash.

Surely now ye have become the same! Ye see a downfall, and are afraid.

And, now, please, look upon me, Even to your face do I lie?

Thou dost not take away my transgression, And cause to pass away mine iniquity, Because now, for dust I lie down: And Thou hast sought me -- and I am not!

If pure and upright thou art, Surely now He waketh for thee, And hath completed The habitation of thy righteousness.

Who is he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp.

But now, my steps Thou numberest, Thou dost not watch over my sin.

Only, now, it hath wearied me; Thou hast desolated all my company,

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

And where is now my hope? Yea, my hope, who doth behold it?

Know now, that God turned me upside down, And His net against me hath set round,

Who doth grant now, That my words may be written? Who doth grant that in a book they may be graven?

And if not now, who doth prove me a liar, And doth make of nothing my word?

And now, laughed at me, Have the younger in days than I, Whose fathers I have loathed to set With the dogs of my flock.

And now, their song I have been, And I am to them for a byword.

And now, in me my soul poureth itself out, Seize me do days of affliction.

And, now, because there is not, He hath appointed His anger, And He hath not known in great extremity.

And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it is in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.

By the hearing of the ear I heard Thee, And now mine eye hath seen Thee.

And now, take to you seven bullocks and seven rams, and go ye unto My servant Job, and ye have caused a burnt-offering to ascend for you; and Job My servant doth pray for you, for surely his face I accept, so as not to do with you folly, because ye have not spoken concerning Me rightly, like My servant Job.
