And
Job answereth
and saith:
--
Then
Job answered
and said,
Till
when
do
ye afflict
my soul, And bruise
me with words?
How
long
will
ye vex
my soul, and break
me in
pieces
with words?
These ten times ye put
me to
shame,
ye blush
not .
Ye make yourselves strange to me --

ye reproached
me :

truly,
I have erred, With
me
doth
my
error remain
.

it
indeed

I have erred, mine
error remaineth
with
myself
.

truly,
over
me
ye magnify yourselves, And decide
against me my reproach ;
If indeed
ye will
magnify yourselves against
me
, and plead
against me my reproach :
Know now ,
that God turned
me upside
down
, And His net against
me
hath
set
round,
Know now that God hath
overthrown
me, and hath
compassed
me
with
his net .
Lo
, I cry out --
violence
, and
am not answered,
I cry aloud, and
there is no judgment.

, I cry out of
wrong
, but
I
am not heard:

way

up ,
and

over
, And on
my paths darkness
He
placeth
.

honour
from
off
me
He hath stripped, And He
turneth
the crown from my head.

round
about

like a tree my
hope
.

destroyed
me on
every
side

anger
, And reckoneth
me to
Him as His adversaries
.

raise up against
me
their way, And encamp round about my tent
.

make
supplication
to
him

is strange to my wife, And

favours
to
the sons
of my
`mother's'
womb
.

is strange to my wife, though
I
intreated
for

sake
of mine
own
body

, and they speak
against me.

hath
my
bone
, And I deliver
myself
with the skin of my teeth.

For the hand of God hath stricken
against
me.

pursue
me as God ?

my
flesh
are not satisfied?

persecute
me as God ,

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

were
printed
in a book !
With a
pen
of
iron and lead --
For
ever
in a
rock they
may
be
hewn.
That
they
were
graven
with an
iron pen
and lead in the

That
--

known
my Redeemer, The
Living
and the Last,
For
the dust
he
doth
rise.
For
I know
that
my redeemer liveth
, and that
he
shall
stand
at
the latter
day
upon
the earth:
And after my skin hath
compassed
this `
body '
, Then
from
my flesh I see God:
And though
after my skin worms
destroy
this body, yet
in
my flesh shall
I see God:
Whom I --
I
see on
my
side
, And mine eyes have
beheld
, and not a
stranger,
Consumed
have
been
my reins in
my
bosom
.
Whom I shall
see for
myself
, and mine eyes shall
behold
, and not another;
though
my reins be
consumed
within
me
.

Why do
we pursue
after
him ?'
And
the root of the matter hath
been
found in me .
But ye should
say, Why persecute
we him ,
seeing
the root of the matter is
found in me ?

of the sword ,
For furious
`are'
the punishments of the sword, That ye may know that
`
there is '
a judgment.

for wrath
bringeth
the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.
