Then Job answered and said:
2 to hear: hear like/as these many to be sorry: comfort trouble all your
I have heard many such things; sorry comforters are ye all.
3 end to/for word spirit: breath or what? be sick you for to answer
Shall windy words have an end? Or what provoketh thee that thou answerest?
4 also I like/as you to speak: speak if there soul: myself your underneath: instead soul: myself my to unite upon you in/on/with speech and to shake upon you in/at/by head my
I also could speak as ye do; if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could join words together against you, and shake my head at you.
5 to strengthen you in/at/by lip my and solace lips my to withhold
I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips would assuage your grief.
6 if to speak: speak not to withhold pain my and to cease what? from me to go: went
Though I speak, my pain is not assuaged; and though I forbear, what am I eased?
7 surely now be weary me be desolate: destroyed all congregation my
But now He hath made me weary; Thou hast made desolate all my company.
8 and to seize me to/for witness to be and to arise: attack in/on/with me lie my in/on/with face my to answer
And Thou hast shrivelled me up, which is a witness against me; and my leanness riseth up against me, it testifieth to my face.
9 face: anger his to tear and to hate me to grind upon me in/on/with tooth his enemy my to sharpen eye his to/for me
He hath torn me in His wrath, and hated me; He hath gnashed upon me with His teeth; mine adversary sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10 to open upon me in/on/with lip their in/on/with reproach to smite jaw my unitedness upon me to fill [emph?]
They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek scornfully; they gather themselves together against me.
11 to shut me God to(wards) unjust one and upon hand wicked to wring me
God delivereth me to the ungodly, and casteth me into the hands of the wicked.
12 at ease to be and to break me and to grasp in/on/with neck my and to shatter me and to arise: establish me to/for him to/for guardhouse
I was at ease, and He broke me asunder; yea, He hath taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces; He hath also set me up for His mark.
13 to turn: surround upon me archer his to cleave kidney my and not to spare to pour: pour to/for land: soil gall my
His archers compass me round about, He cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; He poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14 to break through me breach upon face of breach to run: run upon me like/as mighty man
He breaketh me with breach upon breach; He runneth upon me like a giant.
15 sackcloth to sew upon skin my and to thrust in/on/with dust horn my
I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and have laid my horn in the dust.
16 face my (be red *Q(K)*) from weeping and upon eyelid my shadow
My face is reddened with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17 upon not violence in/on/with palm my and prayer my pure
Although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18 land: soil not to cover blood my and not to be place to/for outcry my
O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no resting-place.
19 also now behold in/on/with heaven witness my and advocate my in/on/with height
Even now, behold, my Witness is in heaven, and He that testifieth of me is on high.
20 to mock me neighbor my to(wards) god to drip eye my
Mine inward thoughts are my intercessors, mine eye poureth out tears unto God;
21 and to rebuke to/for great man with god and son: child man to/for neighbor his
That He would set aright a man contending with God, as a son of man setteth aright his neighbour!
22 for year number to come and way not to return: return to go: went
For the years that are few are coming on, and I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
