Hear my speech
and `
to '
all my words give
ear
.
Wherefore
, Job,
I pray thee, hear my speeches,
and hearken
to all my words.
Lo,
I
pray
thee
, I have opened my mouth, My tongue hath spoken in the
palate
.

I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my
mouth

my
sayings,
And knowledge
have
my lips clearly spoken
.

me.

--
answer me, Set in array

thyself

answer me, set thy
words
in order
before me ,

on
thee
is
not
heavy.

Surely --
thou hast said
in mine ears
, And the sounds
of words I
hear:
Surely thou hast spoken
in mine hearing
, and I
have
heard
the voice
of thy
words ,
saying,

`am'
I ,
without transgression, Innocent
`am'
I ,

enemy to
Him

watch
all my paths. '

this thou hast
not been
righteous,
I answer thee, that greater
is
God than man.

When
`
for '
all

matters

In a dream --
a vision of night, In
the
falling
of
deep sleep on
men, In slumberings on
a
bed .
In a dream ,
in
a vision of the
night, when
deep sleep falleth
upon
men, in slumberings upon
the
bed ;
Then He uncovereth
the ear
of men, And for
their instruction sealeth:
Then he openeth
the ears
of men, and sealeth
their instruction ,
To
turn
aside
man `
from '
doing
, And pride from man He
concealeth
.
That
he
may
withdraw
man from his
purpose
, and hide
pride from man.
He keepeth back his soul from corruption
, And his life from passing
away
by a
dart
.
He keepeth back his soul from the
pit
, and his life from perishing
by the
sword
.
And
he hath
been
reproved
With pain on
his bed, And the strife
of his bones `is'
enduring.
He is
chastened
also
with pain upon
his bed, and the multitude
of his bones with
strong
pain:
And
his life hath
nauseated
bread, And his soul desirable
food
.
So
that
his life abhorreth
bread, and his soul dainty
meat
.
His flesh is consumed from
being
seen
, And high
are
his bones ,
they
were not seen !
His flesh is consumed away
, that
it
cannot
be
seen;
and his bones that
were not seen stick
out.
And
draw
near
to
the
pit
doth
his soul, And his life to those
causing
death
.
Yea,
his soul draweth
near
unto
the
grave
, and his life to the
destroyers
.
If there is
by
him
a messenger, An interpreter --
one of
a thousand, To declare
for
man his uprightness:
If there be
a messenger with
him
, an interpreter ,
one among
a thousand, to shew
unto
man his uprightness:
Then He doth
favour
him and saith, `Ransom
him from going down to the pit ,
I have found an
atonement
. '
Then he is
gracious
unto
him ,
and saith, Deliver
him from going down to the pit :
I have found a
ransom
.
Fresher
`is'
his flesh than a child's ,
He returneth
to the days of his youth .
His flesh shall
be
fresher
than a child's :
he shall
return
to the days of his youth :
He maketh
supplication
unto God, And He accepteth
him .
And he seeth
His face with shouting,
And
He returneth
to
man His righteousness.
He 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.
He looketh on
men, and saith
, `
I sinned, And uprightness
I
have
perverted, And it hath
not
been
profitable
to
me .
He looketh upon
men, and if
any
say
, I have
sinned, and perverted that
which
was
right
, and it profited
me not;
He hath
ransomed
my
soul From going over
into the pit, And my
life on
the light looketh
. '
He will
deliver
his
soul from going into the pit, and his
life shall
see
the light.
Lo, all these doth
God work,
Twice
--
thrice
with man,
Lo, all these things
worketh
God oftentimes
with man,
To bring back his soul from the pit, To be enlightened with the light of the living.
To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
Attend
, O Job, hearken to
me ,
Keep
silent
, and I --
I
do
speak.
Mark
well
, O Job, hearken unto
me :
hold
thy
peace
, and I will
speak.
If there
are
words
--
answer me ,
Speak, for I have
a
desire to justify thee.
If thou
hast
anything
to
say,
answer me :
speak, for I desire to justify thee.
If there
are
not --
hearken thou
to
me ,
Keep
silent
, and I teach thee wisdom.
If not ,
hearken unto
me :
hold
thy
peace
, and I shall
teach thee wisdom.
