| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1In response, Job said: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"How long do you intend to keep torturing me and trying to break me by what you're saying? |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Ten times you've tried to humiliate me! You're not ashamed to wrong me! |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4Even if it's true that I've erred, my error only affects me. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5If you really intend to vaunt yourselves over me, and make my problems the basis of your case against me, |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6then at least you must know that God has accused me of wrong, and trapped me with his net." |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7"Although I cried out 'Violence!' I received no answer; I cried for help, but there was no justice. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8He blocked my path, so I cannot pass; and he turned out the lights on my pathways. |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9"He has stripped me of my honor; he has stolen the crown off my head! |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10He is breaking me down on every side, and now it's too late for me; he has uprooted my hopes like a tree. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11His anger burns against me; he regards me as his adversary. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12His troops march in a column against me, erecting their siege ramps against me; they surround my tent." |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13"My brothers are alienated from me; my acquaintances are estranged; |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14my relatives have failed me; and my friends have abandoned me. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Those who live in my house— and my maidservants, too!— treat me like a stranger; they think I'm a foreigner. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16"I call to my servant, but he doesn't respond, even though I beg to him earnestly. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17My wife says my breath stinks; even my children say I smell bad! |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Even little children hate me; when I get up, they mock me. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19My closest friends detest me; even the ones I love have turned against me. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20I'm a pile of skin and bones; I have barely escaped by the skin of my teeth." |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21"Be gracious to me, be gracious to me, my friends, because God's hand has struck me. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Why are you chasing me, as God has been doing? Aren't you satisfied that I'm sick? |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23If only my words were written down; if only they were inscribed in a book |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24using an iron stylus with lead for ink! Then they'd be engraved in rock forever. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25"As for me, I know that my Vindicator is alive; And he, the Last One, will take his stand on the soil. |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26Even after my skin has been destroyed, clothed in my flesh I will see God, |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27whom I will see for myself. My own eyes will look at him— there won't be anyone else for me!— He is the culmination of my innermost desire." |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28"When you're thinking about asking yourselves, 'How will we pursue him, since the root of the problem is with him?' |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Make sure that you remain wary of God's sword, for God's wrath brings with it the sword of punishment, by which you'll know there's a judgment." |
