1 - Then Job Replied:
2 - "I Have Heard Many Things Like These; Miserable Comforters Are You All!
3 - Will Your Long-winded Speeches Never End? What Ails You That You Keep On Arguing?
4 - I Also Could Speak Like You, If You Were In My Place; I Could Make Fine Speeches Against You And Shake My Head At You.
5 - But My Mouth Would Encourage You; Comfort From My Lips Would Bring You Relief.
6 - "Yet If I Speak, My Pain Is Not Relieved; And If I Refrain, It Does Not Go Away.
7 - Surely, O God, You Have Worn Me Out; You Have Devastated My Entire Household.
8 - You Have Bound Me-and It Has Become A Witness; My Gauntness Rises Up And Testifies Against Me.
9 - God Assails Me And Tears Me In His Anger And Gnashes His Teeth At Me; My Opponent Fastens On Me His Piercing Eyes.
10 - Men Open Their Mouths To Jeer At Me; They Strike My Cheek In Scorn And Unite Together Against Me.
11 - God Has Turned Me Over To Evil Men And Thrown Me Into The Clutches Of The Wicked.
12 - All Was Well With Me, But He Shattered Me; He Seized Me By The Neck And Crushed Me. He Has Made Me His Target;
13 - His Archers Surround Me. Without Pity, He Pierces My Kidneys And Spills My Gall On The Ground.
14 - Again And Again He Bursts Upon Me; He Rushes At Me Like A Warrior.
15 - "I Have Sewed Sackcloth Over My Skin And Buried My Brow In The Dust.
16 - My Face Is Red With Weeping, Deep Shadows Ring My Eyes;
17 - Yet My Hands Have Been Free Of Violence And My Prayer Is Pure.
18 - "O Earth, Do Not Cover My Blood; May My Cry Never Be Laid To Rest!
19 - Even Now My Witness Is In Heaven; My Advocate Is On High.
20 - My Intercessor Is My Friend As My Eyes Pour Out Tears To God;
21 - On Behalf Of A Man He Pleads With God As A Man Pleads For His Friend.
22 - "Only A Few Years Will Pass Before I Go On The Journey Of No Return.
