Job 16
1 and to answer Job and to say
Then responded Job, and said: —
2 to hear: hear like/as these many to be sorry: comfort trouble all your
I have heard many such things, Wearisome comforters, are ye all!
3 end to/for word spirit: breath or what? be sick you for to answer
Is there to be an end to windy words? Or what so strongly exciteth thee, that thou must respond?
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, like you, could speak, —If your soul were in the place of my soul, I could string together words against you, and could therewith shake over you my head.
5 to strengthen you in/at/by lip my and solace lips my to withhold
I could make you determined, by my mouth, and then my lip-solace should restrain you.
6 if to speak: speak not to withhold pain my and to cease what? from me to go: went
Though I do speak, unassuaged is my stinging pain, —And, if I forbear, of what am I relieved?
7 surely now be weary me be desolate: destroyed all congregation my
But, now, hath he wearied me, thou hast destroyed all my family;
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, having captured me, it hath served, as a witness; and so my wasting away hath risen up against me, in my face, it answereth.
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
His anger, hath torn and persecuted me, He hath gnashed upon me with his teeth, Mine adversary, hath sharpened his eyes for 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, With reproach, have they smitten my cheek, Together, against me, have they closed their ranks.
11 to shut me God to(wards) unjust one and upon hand wicked to wring me
GOD doth abandon me to him that is perverse, and, into the hands of the lawless, he throweth me headlong.
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
At ease, was I when he shattered me, Yea he seized me by my neck, and dashed me in pieces, then set me up for himself 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
His archers came round against me, He clave asunder my reins, and spared not, He poured out, on the earth, my gall:
14 to break through me breach upon face of breach to run: run upon me like/as mighty man
He made a breach in me, breach upon breach, He ran upon me, like a mighty man.
15 sackcloth to sew upon skin my and to thrust in/on/with dust horn my
Sackcloth, sewed I on my skin, and rolled—in the dust—my horn:
16 face my (be red *Q(K)*) from weeping and upon eyelid my shadow
My face, is reddened from weeping, and, upon mine eyelashes, is the death-shade: —
17 upon not violence in/on/with palm my and prayer my pure
Though no violence was in my hands, and, my prayer, was pure.
18 land: soil not to cover blood my and not to be place to/for outcry my
O earth! do not cover my blood, and let there be no place for mine outcry.
19 also now behold in/on/with heaven witness my and advocate my in/on/with height
Even now, lo! in the heavens, is my witness,
20 to mock me neighbor my to(wards) god to drip eye my
And, he that voucheth for me is on high. My friends are, they who scorn me, Unto GOD, hath mine eye shed tears: —
21 and to rebuke to/for great man with god and son: child man to/for neighbor his
That one might plead, for a man, with GOD, —Even a son of man, for his friend!
22 for year number to come and way not to return: return to go: went
When, a few years, come, then, by a path by which I shall not return, shall I depart.
