1
Then Job answered and said,
2
I have heard many such things: Miserable comforters are ye all.
3
Shall vain words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
4
I also could speak as ye do; If your soul were in my souls stead, I could join words together against you, And shake my head at you.
5
But I would strengthen you with my mouth, And the solace of my lips would assuage your grief.
6
Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged; And though I forbear, what am I eased?
7
But now he hath made me weary: Thou hast made desolate all my company.
8
And thou hast laid fast hold on me, which is a witness against me: And my leanness riseth up against me, It testifieth to my face.
9
He hath torn me in his wrath, and persecuted me; He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth: Mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10
They have gaped upon me with their mouth; They have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully: They gather themselves together against me.
11
God delivereth me to the ungodly, And casteth me into the hands of the wicked.
12
I was at ease, and he brake me asunder; Yea, he hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces: He hath also set me up for his mark.
13
His archers compass me round about; He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14
He breaketh me with breach upon breach; He runneth upon me like a giant.
15
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, And have laid my horn in the dust.
16
My face is red with weeping, And on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17
Although there is no violence in my hands, And my prayer is pure.
18
O earth, cover not thou my blood, And let my cry have no resting -place.
19
Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, And he that voucheth for me is on high.
20
My friends scoff at me: But mine eye poureth out tears unto God,
21
That he would maintain the right of a man with God, And of a son of man with his neighbor!
22
For when a few years are come, I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
