Then
Job
answered
and
said,
2
How
long
will
ye
vex
my
soul,
and
break
me
in
pieces
with
words?
3
These
ten
times
have
ye
reproached
me:
ye
are
not
ashamed
[that]
ye
make
yourselves
strange
to
4
And
be
it
indeed
[that]
I
have
erred,
mine
error
remaineth
with
myself.
5
If
indeed
ye
will
magnify
[yourselves]
against
me,
and
plead
against
me
my
reproach:
6
Know
now
that
God
hath
overthrown
me,
and
hath
compassed
me
with
his
net.
7
Behold,
I
cry
out
of
wrong,
but
I
am
not
heard:
I
cry
aloud,
but
[there
is]
no
judgment.
8
He
hath
fenced
up
my
way
that
I
cannot
pass,
and
he
hath
set
darkness
in
my
paths.
9
He
hath
stripped
me
of
my
glory,
and
taken
the
crown
[from]
my
head.
10
He
hath
destroyed
me
on
every
side,
and
I
am
gone:
and
mine
hope
hath
he
removed
like
a
tree.
11
He
hath
also
kindled
his
wrath
against
me,
and
he
counteth
me
unto
him
as
[one
of]
his
enemies.
12
His
troops
come
together,
and
raise
up
their
way
against
me,
and
encamp
round
about
my
tabernacle.
13
He
hath
put
my
brethren
far
from
me,
and
mine
acquaintance
are
verily
estranged
from
14
My
kinsfolk
have
failed,
and
my
familiar
friends
have
forgotten
15
They
that
dwell
in
mine
house,
and
my
maids,
count
me
for
a
stranger:
I
am
an
alien
in
their
sight.
16
I
called
my
servant,
and
he
gave
[me]
no
answer;
I
intreated
him
with
my
mouth.
17
My
breath
is
strange
to
my
wife,
though
I
intreated
for
the
children’s
[sake]
of
mine
own
body.
18
Yea,
young
children
despised
me;
I
arose,
and
they
spake
against
19
All
my
inward
friends
abhorred
me:
and
they
whom
I
loved
are
turned
against
20
My
bone
cleaveth
to
my
skin
and
to
my
flesh,
and
I
am
escaped
with
the
skin
of
my
teeth.
21
Have
pity
upon
me,
have
pity
upon
me,
O
ye
my
friends;
for
the
hand
of
God
hath
touched
22
Why
do
ye
persecute
me
as
God,
and
are
not
satisfied
with
my
flesh?
23
Oh
that
my
words
were
now
written!
oh
that
they
were
printed
in
a
book!
24
That
they
were
graven
with
an
iron
pen
and
lead
in
the
rock
for
ever!
25
For
I
know
[that]
my
redeemer
liveth,
and
[that]
he
shall
stand
at
the
latter
[day]
upon
the
earth:
26
And
[though]
after
my
skin
[worms]
destroy
this
[body],
yet
in
my
flesh
shall
I
see
God:
27
Whom
I
shall
see
for
myself,
and
mine
eyes
shall
behold,
and
not
another;
[though]
my
reins
be
consumed
within
28
But
ye
should
say,
Why
persecute
we
him,
seeing
the
root
of
the
matter
is
found
in
29
Be
ye
afraid
of
the
sword:
for
wrath
[bringeth]
the
punishments
of
the
sword,
that
ye
may
know
[there
is]
a
judgment.
