I know {it is} so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? {with God: or, before God?}

If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. {Arcturus...: Heb. Ash, Cesil, and Cimah}

Lo, he goeth by me, and I see {him} not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

If I had called, and he had answered me; {yet} would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.

How much less shall I answer him, {and} choose out my words {to reason} with him?

{He is} wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened {himself} against him, and hath prospered?

Whom, though I were righteous, {yet} would I not answer, {but} I would make supplication to my judge.

Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.

Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

{If} God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. {proud...: Heb. helpers of pride, or, strength}

Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

Then Job answered and said,

Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. {waves: Heb. heights}

Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? {hinder...: Heb. turn him away?}

For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

If {I speak} of strength, lo, {he is} strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time {to plead}?

{Then} would I speak, and not fear him; but {it is} not so with me. {it is...: Heb. I am not so with myself}

Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.

Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. {abhor...: or, make me to be abhorred}

If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

This {is} one {thing}, therefore I said {it}, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

{Though} I {were} perfect, {yet} would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.

If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort {myself}:

If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: {if I say}, I {am} perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

For {he is} not a man, as I {am, that} I should answer him, {and} we should come together in judgment.

{If} I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, {that} might lay his hand upon us both. {any...: Heb. one that should argue} {daysman: or, umpire}

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, {and} who {is} he?

Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle {that} hasteth to the prey. {swift...: or, ships of Ebeh: Heb. ships of desire}
