1Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.→2Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.→3My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.→4The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.→5If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.→6Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.→7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.→8Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,→9I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.→10Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,→11He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.→12Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.→13Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.→14For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.→15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;→16Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,→17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.→18He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.→19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:→20So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.→21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.→22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.→23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:→24Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.→25His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:→26He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.→27He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;→28He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.→29Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,→30To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.→31Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.→32If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.→33If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.→
