- 1. And Job answered and said,
- 2. How long will ye vex my soul, and crush me with words?
- 3. These ten times have ye reproached me; ye are not ashamed to stupefy me.
- 4. And be it [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.
- 5. If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and prove against me my reproach,
- 6. Know now that +God hath overthrown me, and hath surrounded me with his net.
- 7. Behold, I cry out of wrong, and I am not heard; I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.
- 8. He hath hedged up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.
- 9. He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.
- 10. He breaketh me down on every side, and I am gone; and my hope hath he torn up as a tree.
- 11. And he hath kindled his anger against me, and hath counted me unto him as one of his enemies.
- 12. His troops have come together and cast up their way against me, and have encamped round about my tent.
- 13. He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are quite estranged from me.
- 14. My kinsfolk have failed, and my known friends have forgotten me.
- 15. The sojourners in my house and my maids count me as a stranger; I am an alien in their sight.
- 16. I called my servant, and he answered not; I entreated him with my mouth.
- 17. My breath is strange to my wife, and my entreaties to the children of my [mother's] womb.
- 18. Even young children despise me; I rise up, and they speak against me.
- 19. All my intimate friends abhor me, and they whom I loved are turned against me.
- 20. My bones cleave to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.
- 21. Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, ye my friends; for the hand of +God hath touched me.
- 22. Why do ye persecute me as �God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?
- 23. Oh would that my words were written! oh that they were inscribed in a book!
- 24. That with an iron style and lead they were graven in the rock for ever!
- 25. And [as for] me, I know that my Redeemer liveth, and the Last, he shall stand upon the earth;
- 26. And [if] after my skin this shall be destroyed, yet from out of my flesh shall I see +God;
- 27. Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another: -- my reins are consumed within me.
- 28. If ye say, How shall we persecute him? when the root of the matter is found in me,
- 29. Be ye yourselves afraid of the sword! for the sword is fury against misdeeds, that ye may know there is a judgment.
