| 1 And Job answereth and saith: |
|
| 2 Also to-day [is] my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing. |
|
| 3 O that I had known and I find Him, I come in unto His seat, |
|
| 4 I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill [with] arguments. |
|
| 5 I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me. |
|
| 6 In the abundance of power doth He strive with me No! surely He putteth [it] in me. |
|
| 7 There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge. |
|
| 8 Lo, forward I go and He is not, And backward and I perceive him not. |
|
| 9 [To] the left in His working and I see not, He is covered [on] the right, and I behold not. |
|
| 10 For He hath known the way with me, He hath tried me as gold I go forth. |
|
| 11 On His step hath my foot laid hold, His way I have kept, and turn not aside, |
|
| 12 The command of His lips, and I depart not. Above my allotted portion I have laid up The sayings of His mouth. |
|
| 13 And He [is] in one [mind], And who doth turn Him back And His soul hath desired and He doth [it]. |
|
| 14 For He doth complete my portion, And many such things [are] with Him. |
|
| 15 Therefore, from His presence I am troubled, I consider, and am afraid of Him. |
|
| 16 And God hath made my heart soft, And the Mighty hath troubled me. |
|
| 17 For I have not been cut off before darkness, And before me He covered thick darkness. |
