Are all these words to go unanswered? and is a man seen to be right because he is full of talk?

Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me.

But you kept these things in the secret of your heart; I am certain this was in your thoughts:

Though you see that I am not an evil-doer; and there is no one who is able to take a man out of your hands?

Are your days as the days of man, or your years like his,

And that if there was cause for pride, you would go after me like a lion; and again put out your wonders against me:

A land of thick dark, without order, where the very light is dark.

You have been kind to me, and your grace has been with me, and your care has kept my spirit safe.

For I would be crushed by his storm, my wounds would be increased without cause.

If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice.

My soul is tired of life; I will let my sad thoughts go free in words; my soul will make a bitter outcry.

Such is the joy of his way, and out of the dust another comes up to take his place.

It is he who takes away the mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his wrath:

How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?

I go in fear of all my pains; I am certain that I will not be free from sin in your eyes.

If I am washed with snow water, and make my hands clean with soap;

What profit is it to you to be cruel, to give up the work of your hands, looking kindly on the design of evil-doers?

By you I was clothed with skin and flesh, and joined together with bones and muscles.

Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south:

That, if I was an evil-doer, the curse would come on me; and if I was upright, my head would not be lifted up, being full of shame and overcome with trouble.

He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?

I have done no wrong; I give no thought to what becomes of me; I have no desire for life.

Job 10

By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea:

Was I not drained out like milk, becoming hard like cheese?

I will say to God, Do not put me down as a sinner; make clear to me what you have against me.

There is no one to give a decision between us, who might have control over us.

Then you will have me pushed into the dust, so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing.

They go rushing on like reed-boats, like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food.

Truly, God will not give up him who is without sin, and will not take evil-doers by the hand.
