¹ Then responded Job, and said: - ² How long will ye grieve my soul? or crush me with words?³ These ten times, have ye reviled me, Shameless ye wrong me.⁴ And even if indeed I have erred, with myself lodgeth mine error.⁵ If indeed, against me, ye must needs magnify yourselves, and plead, against me, my reproach.⁶ Know, then, that, God, hath overthrown me, and, within his net, enclosed me.⁷ Lo! I cry - out: Violence! but receive no answer, I cry aloud, but there is no vindication;

⁸ My way, hath he walled up, that I cannot pass, and, upon my paths, hath he made darkness rest;⁹ My glory - from off me, hath he stripped, and hath removed the crown of my head;¹⁰ He hath ruined me on every side, and I am gone, and he hath taken away - like a tree - my hope;¹¹ Yea he hath kindled against me his anger, and accounted me towards him like unto his adversaries;¹² Together, enter his troops and have cast up, against me, their mound, and have encamped all around my tent;¹³ My Brethren - from beside me, hath he moved far away, and, mine acquaintance, are wholly estranged from me;¹⁴ Failed me, have my near of kin, and, mine intimate acquaintances, have forgotten me;¹⁵ Ye guests of my house and my maidens, A stranger, have ye accounted me, An alien, have I become in their eyes;¹⁶ To mine own servant, I called, and he would not answer, With mine own mouth, I kept entreating him;¹⁷ My breath, is strange to my wife, and I am loathsome to the sons of my own mother;¹⁸ Even young children, despise me, I rise up, and they speak against me;¹⁹ All the men of mine intimate circle abhor me, and, these whom I loved, have turned against me;²⁰ Unto my skin and unto my flesh, have my bones cleaved, and I have escaped with the akin of my teeth.²¹ Pity me! pity me! ye, my friends, for, the hand of GOD, hath stricken me!²² Wherefore should ye persecute me as GOD? and, with my flesh, should not he satisfied?

²³ Oh, then, that my words, could be written, Oh that, in a record, they could be inscribed:²⁴ That, with a stylus of iron and with lead, for all time - in the rock, they could be graven!²⁵ But, I, know that, my redeemer, liveth, and, as the Last over my dust, will he arise;²⁶ And, though, after my skin is struck off, this followeth , yet, apart from my flesh, shall I see GOD:²⁷ Whom, I myself, shall see, on my side, and, mine own eyes, shall have looked upon, and not those of a stranger. Exhausted are my deepest desires in my bosom!²⁸ Surely ye should say - Why should we persecute him? seeing, the root of the matter, is found in me.²⁹ Be ye afraid - on your part - of the face of the sword, because, wrath, bringeth the punishments of the sword, to the end ye may know the Almighty.
