And his bones that were not seen stick out. Yea, his soul draws near to the pit, and his life to the destroyers. If there be with him a [heavenly] agent, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to show to man what is right for him, then [God] is gracious to him, and says, Deliver him from going down to the pit; I have found a ransom.

He prays to God, and he is favorable to him, so that he sees his face with joy, and he restores to man his righteousness.

so that he sets up on high those who are low, and those who mourn are exalted to safety. He frustrates the devices of the crafty so that their hands cannot perform their enterprise.

Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man's days, that thou inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin, although thou know that I am not wicked.

And will thou bring me into dust again? Have thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese? Thou have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews. Thou have granted me life and loving kindness, and thy visitation has preserved my spirit. Yet these things thou hid in thy heart. I know that this is with thee. If I sin, then thou mark me. And thou will not acquit me from my iniquity. If I be wicked, woe to me. And if I be righteous, yet I shall not lift up my head, being filled with shame, and looking upon my affliction. And if [my head] exalts itself, thou hunt me as a lion. And again thou show thyself marvelous upon me. Thou renew thy witnesses against me, and increase thine indignation upon me. Changes and warfare are with me. Why then have thou brought me forth out of the womb? I would have given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me. I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave. Are not my days few?

Does not the ear try words, even as the palate tastes its food? With aged men is wisdom, and in length of days understanding. With [God] is wisdom and might. He has counsel and understanding. Behold, he breaks down, and it cannot be built again. He shuts up a man, and there can be no opening. Behold, he withholds the waters, and they dry up. Again, he sends them out, and they overturn the earth. With him is strength and wisdom. The deceived and the deceiver are his. He leads counselors away stripped, and he makes judges fools. He loosens the bond of kings, and he binds their loins with a belt. He leads priests away stripped, and overthrows the mighty. He removes the speech of the trustworthy, and takes away the understanding of the elders. He pours contempt upon rulers, and weakens the strength of the strong. He uncovers deep things out of darkness, and brings out to light the shadow of death. He increases the nations, and he destroys them. He enlarges the nations, and he leads them captive. He takes away understanding from the chiefs of the people of the earth, and causes them to wander in a wilderness where there is no way.
