But 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: poor comforters are you all.
3 end to/for word spirit: breath or what? be sick you for to answer
What! is there any reason in vain words? or what will hinder you from answering?
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 will speak as you [do]: if indeed your soul were in my [soul's] stead, then would I insult you with words, and I would shake my head at you.
5 to strengthen you in/at/by lip my and solace lips my to withhold
And would there were strength in my mouth, and I would not spare the movement of my lips.
6 if to speak: speak not to withhold pain my and to cease what? from me to go: went
For if I should speak, I shall not feel the pain of my wound: and if I should be silent, how shall I be wounded the less?
7 surely now be weary me be desolate: destroyed all congregation my
But now he has made me weary, and a worn-out fool; and you have laid hold of me.
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
My falsehood has become a testimony, and has risen up against me: it has confronted me 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
In his anger he has cast me down; he has gnashed his teeth upon me: the weapons of his robbers have fallen 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?]
He has attacked me with the keen glances of his eyes; with his sharp [spear] he has struck me [down] upon my knees; and they have run upon me with one accord.
11 to shut me God to(wards) unjust one and upon hand wicked to wring me
For the Lord has delivered me into the hands of unrighteous men, and thrown me upon the ungodly.
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
When I was at peace he distracted me: he took me by the hair of the head, and plucked it out: he set me up as a 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
They surrounded me with spears, aiming at my reins: without sparing [me] they poured 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
They overthrew me with fall upon fall: they ran upon me in [their] might.
15 sackcloth to sew upon skin my and to thrust in/on/with dust horn my
They sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and my strength has been spent on the ground.
16 face my (be red *Q(K)*) from weeping and upon eyelid my shadow
My belly has been parched with wailing, and darkness is on my eyelids.
17 upon not violence in/on/with palm my and prayer my pure
Yet there was no injustice 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
Earth, cover not over the blood of my flesh, and let my cry have no place.
19 also now behold in/on/with heaven witness my and advocate my in/on/with height
And now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my advocate is on high.
20 to mock me neighbor my to(wards) god to drip eye my
Let my supplication come to the Lord, and let mine eye weep before him.
21 and to rebuke to/for great man with god and son: child man to/for neighbor his
Oh that a man might plead before the Lord, even [as] the son of man with his neighbor!
22 for year number to come and way not to return: return to go: went
But my years are numbered and [their end] come, and I shall go by the way by which I shall not return.
