1[an error occurred while processing this directive]1But Job answered and said,
2[an error occurred while processing this directive]2Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolations.
3[an error occurred while processing this directive]3Suffer me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
4[an error occurred while processing this directive]4As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
5[an error occurred while processing this directive]5Mark me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
6[an error occurred while processing this directive]6Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
7[an error occurred while processing this directive]7Wherefore do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
8[an error occurred while processing this directive]8Their seed is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
9[an error occurred while processing this directive]9Their houses are safe from fear, neither is the rod of God upon them.
10[an error occurred while processing this directive]10Their bull gendereth, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and casteth not her calf.
11[an error occurred while processing this directive]11They send forth their little ones like a flock, and their children dance.
12[an error occurred while processing this directive]12They take the timbrel and harp, and rejoice at the sound of the organ.
13[an error occurred while processing this directive]13They spend their days in wealth, and in a moment go down to the grave.
14[an error occurred while processing this directive]14Therefore they say unto God, Depart from us; for we desire not the knowledge of thy ways.
15[an error occurred while processing this directive]15What is the Almighty, that we should serve him? and what profit should we have, if we pray unto him?
16[an error occurred while processing this directive]16Lo, their good is not in their hand: the counsel of the wicked is far from me.
17[an error occurred while processing this directive]17How oft is the candle of the wicked put out! and how oft cometh their destruction upon them! God distributeth sorrows in his anger.
18[an error occurred while processing this directive]18They are as stubble before the wind, and as chaff that the storm carrieth away.
19[an error occurred while processing this directive]19God layeth up his iniquity for his children: he rewardeth him, and he shall know it.
20[an error occurred while processing this directive]20His eyes shall see his destruction, and he shall drink of the wrath of the Almighty.
21[an error occurred while processing this directive]21For what pleasure hath he in his house after him, when the number of his months is cut off in the midst?
22[an error occurred while processing this directive]22Shall any teach God knowledge? seeing he judgeth those that are high.
23[an error occurred while processing this directive]23One dieth in his full strength, being wholly at ease and quiet.
24[an error occurred while processing this directive]24His breasts are full of milk, and his bones are moistened with marrow.
25[an error occurred while processing this directive]25And another dieth in the bitterness of his soul, and never eateth with pleasure.
26[an error occurred while processing this directive]26They shall lie down alike in the dust, and the worms shall cover them.
27[an error occurred while processing this directive]27Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.
28[an error occurred while processing this directive]28For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?
29[an error occurred while processing this directive]29Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,
30[an error occurred while processing this directive]30That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.
31[an error occurred while processing this directive]31Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?
32[an error occurred while processing this directive]32Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.
33[an error occurred while processing this directive]33The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.
34[an error occurred while processing this directive]34How then comfort ye me in vain, seeing in your answers there remaineth falsehood?
