Behold, I will answer thee, in this thou art not just; For God is greater than man.

His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; And his bones that were not seen stick out.

If not, hearken thou unto me: Hold thy peace, and I will teach thee wisdom.

For God speaketh once, Yea twice, `though man' regardeth it not.

Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.

Yea, his soul draweth near unto the pit, And his life to the destroyers.

He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, And with continual strife in his bones;

Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, Neither shall my pressure be heavy upon thee.

Then he openeth the ears of men, And sealeth their instruction,

He hath redeemed my soul from going into the pit, And my life shall behold the light.

I am clean, without transgression; I am innocent, neither is there iniquity in me:

If thou hast anything to say, answer me: Speak, for I desire to justify thee.

So that his life abhorreth bread, And his soul dainty food.

To bring back his soul from the pit, That he may be enlightened with the light of the living.

Surely thou hast spoken in my hearing, And I have heard the voice of thy' words, saying',

He keepeth back his soul from the pit, And his life from perishing by the sword.

In a dream, in a vision of the night, When deep sleep falleth upon men, In slumberings upon the bed;

The Spirit of God hath made me, And the breath of the Almighty giveth me life.

His flesh shall be fresher than a child's; He returneth to the days of his youth.

He singeth before men, and saith, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, And it profited me not:

Behold, I am toward God even as thou art: I also am formed out of the clay.

Why dost thou strive against him, For that he giveth not account of any of his matters?

Behold, he findeth occasions against me, He counteth me for his enemy:
