Oh that I might have my request; and that God would grant {me} the thing that I long for! {the thing...: Heb. my expectation}

Which are blackish by reason of the ice, {and} wherein the snow is hid:

Did I say, Bring unto me? or, Give a reward for me of your substance?

To him that is afflicted pity {should be shewed} from his friend; but he forsaketh the fear of the Almighty. {is afflicted: Heb. melteth}

Then should I yet have comfort; yea, I would harden myself in sorrow: let him not spare; for I have not concealed the words of the Holy One.

Teach me, and I will hold my tongue: and cause me to understand wherein I have erred.

For the arrows of the Almighty {are} within me, the poison whereof drinketh up my spirit: the terrors of God do set themselves in array against me.

Or, Deliver me from the enemy's hand? or, Redeem me from the hand of the mighty?

But Job answered and said,

Can that which is unsavoury be eaten without salt? or is there {any} taste in the white of an egg?

Return, I pray you, let it not be iniquity; yea, return again, my righteousness {is} in it. {in it: that is, in this matter}

How forcible are right words! but what doth your arguing reprove?

The things {that} my soul refused to touch {are} as my sorrowful meat.

Doth the wild ass bray when he hath grass? or loweth the ox over his fodder? {when he...: Heb. at grass?}

Do ye imagine to reprove words, and the speeches of one that is desperate, {which are} as wind?

Oh that my grief were throughly weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! {laid: Heb. lifted up}

Yea, ye overwhelm the fatherless, and ye dig {a pit} for your friend. {ye overwhelm: Heb. ye cause to fall upon}
