He bound the rivers from weeping, and he will bring forth the hidden thing to light

For he will look to the ends of the earth, he will see under all the heavens;

To make the weight for the wind; and he weighed the waters by measure.

And he will say to man, Behold, the fear of Jehovah, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

And Job will add to lift up his parable, and say,

In his causing his light to shine upon my head, before his light I shall go through darkness;

In my going forth to the gate upon the city, in the street I shall prepare my seat

Chiefs held back in words, and they will put the hand to the mouth.

The voice the leaders hid, and their tongue was joined to their palate.

If the ear heard, and it will pronounce me happy; and the eye saw, and it will testify to me:

For I shall deliver the poor crying, and the orphan, and none helping to him.

The praise of him perishing will come upon me, and I shall cause the heart of the widow to rejoice.

Eyes was I to the blind one, and feet to the lame was I.

I was a father to the needy, and the contention I knew not I shall search it out

My root opened to the waters, and the dew will lodge upon my foliage.

To me they heard, and they waited, and they will be silent for them at my counsel.

And now the younger than I laughed upon me, which I rejected their fathers to set with the dogs of my flock.

Also the strength of their hands wherefore to me? Upon them old age perished.

To dwell in the horror of the valleys, holes of the dust, and the rocks.

And now I was their song, and I to them for a by word.

They tore up my beaten path, they helped for my fall, no help to them.

He cast me to the clay; I shall become like as dust and ashes.

I shall cry to thee and thou wilt not answer me: I stood up and thou wilt not attend to me.

Thou wilt turn to be cruel to me: with the strength of thy hand thou wilt lie in wait for me.

Thou wilt lift me up to the wind; thou wilt cause me to ride, and thou wilt melt to me counsel.

For I knew thou wilt turn me back to death, and the house appointed to all living.

But prayer is nothing; he will send forth the hand, if in his calamity to them a cry for help.

If I wept not for him being hard of day: my soul was grieved for the needy.

I was a brother to jackals, and a companion to the daughters of the ostrich.

I cut out a covenant for mine eyes; and why shall I show myself attentive to a virgin?

Is not destruction to the evil one? and strangeness to those working iniquity?

For it is a fire; it will devour even to destruction, and will root out upon all mine increase.

And what shall I do when God shall rise up? And when he shall review, what shall I turn back to him?

If I shall withhold from the desire of the poor, and cause the eyes of the widow to fail;

(For from my youth he grew up to me as a father, and I shall guide her from my mother's womb;)

If I shall see one perishing from not being clothed, and no covering to the needy;

For the destruction of God is a terror to me, and from his lifting up I shall not prevail.

If I set gold my hope, and said to gold, My trust;

And my heart will be seduced in secret, and my hand shall kiss to my mouth:

Also this an iniquity for the judges: for I lied to God from above.

And I gave not my palate to sin to ask in cursing his soul.

The stranger shall not lodge without: I shall open my doors to the traveler.

If I covered my transgression, as man, to hide mine iniquity in my bosom:

Who will give to me hearing to me.? Behold, my sign, the Almighty will answer me, and the man contending with me wrote a book.

If not, I shall lift it up upon my shoulder, I will bind it a crown to me

The number of my steps I shall announce to him: as a leader I shall draw near to him.

If I ate its strength without silver, and caused its possessors to expire:

But it is a spirit in man, and the breath of the Almighty will cause them to understand.

For this, I said, Hear to me; I also will show my knowledge.

Behold, I waited for your words, giving ear even to your understandings while ye will search out words.

And I will show myself attentive even to you, and behold, none from you confuting to Job, answering his words.

And he arranged not words against me: and I will not turn back to him with your words.

I will speak, and it will breathe to me: I will open my lips and answer.

Not now shall I lift up the face of man, and I shall not flatter to man.

And yet hear now, O Job, my speech, and give ear to all my words.

The spirit of God made me, and the breath of the Almighty will cause me to live.

If thou shalt be able to turn back to me, set in order before me, stand forth.

Behold, I am according to thy mouth for God: from clay was I also broken off

I am clean without transgression; I am fair, and no iniquity to me.

Behold, he will find enmity against me, and he will reckon me for an enemy to him.

To remove man from working, and he will bide pride from man.

And his soul will draw near to the pit, and his life to the dead.

If there is a messenger upon him, an interpreter, one from a thousand, to announce to man his uprightness:

And he will compassionate him and say, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I found an expiation.

His flesh revived above a youth: he shall turn back to the days of his childhood.

He shall pray to God and he shall receive him into favor: and he shall see his face with rejoicing, and he will turn back to man his justice.

He will look upon men, and he shall say, I sinned, and I perverted the right, and it was not fitting to me;

To turn back his soul from the pit, to enlighten with the light of the living.

Attend, O Job, hear to me: be silent and I will speak

If there be words, turn back to me: speak, for I desired to justify thee.

If not, hear thou to me: be silent, and I shall teach thee wisdom.

Hear, ye wise, my words; and ye knowing, give ear to me.

We will choose to us judgment: we shall know between ourselves what is good.

Going for company with those working iniquity, and to go with men of injustice?

For this, ye men of heart, hear to me: far be it to God from doing evil; and the Almighty from iniquity.

For the work of man shall he recompense to him, and a man shall find himself according to his way.

Also surely God will not do evil, and the Almighty will not pervert judgment

Who committed to him the earth? and who set up the habitable globe all of it?

If he will set his heart to him, he will gather his spirit and his breath to him;

All flesh shall expire together, and man shall turn back to dust

If now understanding, hear this: give ear to the voice of my words.

Saying to the king, Wickedness; (Belial) to nobles, Injustice.

In a moment shall they die, and the middle of the night shall the people be moved and pass away: and the mighty shall be removed with not a hand.

Not darkness and not the shadow of death for those working iniquity to hide there.

For he will not yet set upon man to go to God in judgment

To cause the cry of the poor one to come to him, and he will hear the cry of the humble.

For he said to God, I was lifted up, I will pervert no more.

Besides I shall see thou wilt teach it to me: if I did iniquity, I will not add.

Men of heart will say to me, and a wise man heard to me.

My father, Job shall be tried even to the end, for turning back with men of iniquity.

He will add rebellion to his sin; he will clap between us, and he will multiply his words to God.

For thou wilt say, What shall it profit to thee? what shall I profit from my sin?

I will turn back words to thee, and thy companions with thee.

If thou sinnedst, what wilt thou do against him? and thy transgressions were multiplied, what wilt thou do to him?

If thou wert just, what wilt thou give to him? or what shall he take from thy hand?

Thy injustice to a man as thou: and thy justice to the son of man.

I will lift up my knowledge from far off, and to him making me, I will give justice.

And he will announce to them their work, and their transgressions, for they will be strong.

Their soul will die in youth, and their life among the consecrated.

And also he moved thee from the mouth of the enemy to a broad, not straight place; and thy table came. down full of fatness.
