¹ H347 But Job H6030 answered [H8799]   H559 and said [H8799]  ,

² H8085 Hear [H8798]   H8085 diligently [H8800]   H4405 my speech H8575 , and let this be your consolations.

³ H5375 Suffer [H8798]   H1696 me that I may speak [H8762]   H310 ; and after H1696 that I have spoken [H8763]   H3932 , mock on [H8686]  .

⁴ H7879 As for me, is my complaint H120 to man H7307 ? and if it were so, why should not my spirit H7114 be troubled [H8799]  ?

⁵ H6437 Mark [H8798]   H8074 me, and be astonished [H8713]   H7760 , and lay [H8798]   H3027 your hand H6310 upon your mouth.

⁶ H2142 Even when I remember [H8804]   H926 I am afraid [H8738]   H6427 , and trembling H270 taketh hold on [H8804]   H1320 my flesh.

⁷ H7563 Wherefore do the wicked H2421 live [H8799]   H6275 , become old [H8804]   H1396 , yea, are mighty [H8804]   H2428 in power?

⁸ H2233 Their seed H3559 is established [H8737]   H6440 in their sight H6631 with them, and their offspring H5869 before their eyes.

⁹ H1004 Their houses H7965 are safe H6343 from fear H7626 , neither is the rod H433 of God upon them.

¹⁰ H7794 Their bull H5674 gendereth [H8765]   H1602 , and faileth [H8686]   H6510 not; their cow H6403 calveth [H8762]   H7921 , and casteth not her calf [H8762]  .

¹¹ H7971 They send forth [H8762]   H5759 their little ones H6629 like a flock H3206 , and their children H7540 dance [H8762]  .

¹² H5375 They take [H8799]   H8596 the timbrel H3658 and harp H8055 , and rejoice [H8799]   H6963 at the sound H5748 of the organ.

¹³ H3615 They spend [H8762]   [H8675]   H1086   [H8762]   H3117 their days H2896 in wealth H7281 , and in a moment H2865 go down [H8735]   [H8676]   H5181   [H8799]   H7585 to the grave.

¹⁴ H559 Therefore they say [H8799]   H410 unto God H5493 , Depart [H8798]   H2654 from us; for we desire [H8804]   H1847 not the knowledge H1870 of thy ways.

¹⁵ H7706 What is the Almighty H5647 , that we should serve [H8799]   H3276 him? and what profit [H8686]   H6293 should we have, if we pray [H8799]   unto him?

¹⁶ H2898 Lo, their good H3027 is not in their hand H6098 : the counsel H7563 of the wicked H7368 is far [H8804]   from me.

¹⁷ H5216 How oft is the candle H7563 of the wicked H1846 put out [H8799]   H935 ! and how oft cometh [H8799]   H343 their destruction H2505 upon them! God distributeth [H8762]   H2256 sorrows H639 in his anger.

¹⁸ H8401 They are as stubble H6440 before H7307 the wind H4671 , and as chaff H5492 that the storm H1589 carrieth away [H8804]  .

¹⁹ H433 God H6845 layeth up [H8799]   H205 his iniquity H1121 for his children H7999 : he rewardeth [H8762]   H3045 him, and he shall know [H8799]   it .

²⁰ H5869 His eyes H7200 shall see [H8799]   H3589 his destruction H8354 , and he shall drink [H8799]   H2534 of the wrath H7706 of the Almighty.

²¹ H2656 For what pleasure H1004 hath he in his house H310 after H4557 him, when the number H2320 of his months H2686 is cut off in the midst [H8795]  ?

²² H3925 Shall any teach [H8762]   H410 God H1847 knowledge H8199 ? seeing he judgeth [H8799]   H7311 those that are high [H8802]  .

²³ H4191 One dieth [H8799]   H8537 in his full H6106 strength H7946 , being wholly at ease H7961 and quiet.

²⁴ H5845 His breasts H4390 are full [H8804]   H2461 of milk H6106 , and his bones H8248 are moistened [H8792]   H4221 with marrow.

²⁵ H4191 And another dieth [H8799]   H4751 in the bitterness H5315 of his soul H398 , and never eateth [H8804]   H2896 with pleasure.

²⁶ H7901 They shall lie down [H8799]   H3162 alike H6083 in the dust H7415 , and the worms H3680 shall cover [H8762]   them.

²⁷ H3045 Behold, I know [H8804]   H4284 your thoughts H4209 , and the devices H2554 which ye wrongfully imagine [H8799]   against me.

²⁸ H559 For ye say [H8799]   H1004 , Where is the house H5081 of the prince H4908 ? and where are the dwelling H168 places H7563 of the wicked?

²⁹ H7592 Have ye not asked [H8804]   H5674 them that go [H8802]   H1870 by the way H5234 ? and do ye not know [H8762]   H226 their tokens,

³⁰ H7451 That the wicked H2820 is reserved [H8735]   H3117 to the day H343 of destruction H2986 ? they shall be brought forth [H8714]   H3117 to the day H5678 of wrath.

³¹ H5046 Who shall declare [H8686]   H1870 his way H6440 to his face H7999 ? and who shall repay [H8762]   H6213 him what he hath done [H8804]  ?

³² H2986 Yet shall he be brought [H8714]   H6913 to the grave H8245 , and shall remain [H8799]   H1430 in the tomb.

³³ H7263 The clods H5158 of the valley H4985 shall be sweet [H8804]   H120 unto him, and every man H4900 shall draw [H8799]   H310 after H4557 him, as there are innumerable H6440 before him.

³⁴ H5162 How then comfort [H8762]   H1892 ye me in vain H8666 , seeing in your answers H7604 there remaineth [H8738]   H4604 falsehood?
