| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up. |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee. |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me. |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy, |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths. |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed; |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction, |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain: |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat. |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness: |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth: |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not; |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light. |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man, |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living. |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak. |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee. |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom. |
