and to answer Job and to say
2 "Også i Dag er der Trods i min Klage, tungt ligger hans Hånd på mit Suk!

3 Ak, vidste jeg Vej til at finde ham, kunde jeg nå hans Trone!

5 vide, hvad Svar han gav mig, skønne, hvad han sagde til mig!
to know speech to answer me and to understand what? to say to/for me
6 Mon han da satte sin Almagt imod mig? Nej, visselig agted han på mig;

7 da gik en oprigtig i Rette med ham, og jeg bjærged for evigt min Ret.
there upright to rebuke with him and to escape to/for perpetuity from to judge me
8 Men går jeg mod Øst, da er han der ikke, mod Vest, jeg mærker ej til ham;

9 jeg søger i Nord og ser ham ikke, drejer mod Syd og øjner ham ej.
