1

"Howeverh199 now, Jobh347, pleaseh4994  ahearh8085 my speechh4405, And listenh238 to allh3605 my wordsh1697.

2

"Beholdh2009 nowh4994, I openh6605a my mouthh6310, My tongueh3956 in my  1mouthh2441 speaksh1696.

3

"My wordsh561 are from the uprightnessh3476 of my hearth3820, And my lipsh8193 speakh4448a  aknowledgeh1847 sincerelyh1305.

4

"The  aSpirith7307 of Godh410 has madeh6213a me, And the  bbreathh5397 of  1the Almightyh7706b givesh2421a me lifeh2421a.

5

aRefuteh7725 me ifh518 you canh3201; Arrayh6186a yourselves beforeh6440 me, takeh3320 your standh3320.

6

"Beholdh2005, I belong to Godh410 like you; I tooh1571 have been  1formedh7169 out of the  aclayh2563a.

7

"Beholdh2009,  anoh3808 fearh367 of me should terrifyh1204 you, Norh3808 should my pressureh405 weighh3513 heavilyh3513 on you.

8

"Surelyh389 you have spokenh559 in my hearingh241, And I have heardh8085 the soundh6963 of your wordsh4405:

9

`I am  apureh2134,  bwithouth1097 transgressionh6588; I am innocenth2643 and there  cis noh3808 guilth5771 in me.

10

`Beholdh2005, He  1inventsh4672 pretextsh8569 againsth5921 me; He  acountsh2803 me as His enemyh340.

11

`He  aputsh7760 my feeth7272 in the stocksh5465; He watchesh8104 allh3605 my pathsh734.'

12

"Beholdh2005, let me  1tellh6030a you,  ayou are not righth6663 in thish384, For Godh433 is greaterh7235a thanh4480 manh582.

13

"Whyh4069 do you  acomplainh7378 againsth413 Him That He does not giveh6030a an accounth6030a of allh3605 His doingsh1697?

14

"Indeedh3588  aGodh410 speaksh1696 onceh259, Or twiceh8147, yet noh3808 one noticesh7789 it.

15

"In a  adreamh2472, a visionh2384 of the nighth3915, When soundh8639 sleeph8639 fallsh5307 on menh376, While they slumberh8572 in their bedsh4904,

16

Thenh227  aHe opensh1540 the earsh241 of menh376, And sealsh2856 their instructionh4148,

17

That He may turnh5493 manh120 asideh5493 from his conducth4639, And  1keeph3680 manh1397 from prideh1466;

18

He  akeepsh2820 backh2820 his soulh5315 from the pith7845, And his lifeh2421b from  1passingh5674a overh5674a  binto Sheolh7973.

19

1Man is also chastenedh3198 with  apainh4341 on his bedh4904, And with unceasingh386 complainth7379 in his bonesh6106;

20

So that his lifeh2421b  aloathesh2092 breadh3899, And his soulh5315 favoriteh8378 foodh3978.

21

"His  afleshh1320 wastesh3615 awayh3615 from sighth7210, And his  bbonesh6106 which were not seenh7210 stickh8192 out.

22

"Then  ahis soulh5315 drawsh7126 nearh7126 to the pith7845, And his lifeh2421b to those who bringh4191 deathh4191.

23

"Ifh518 thereh3426 is an angelh4397 as  amediatorh3917b for him, Oneh259 out of a thousandh505, To remindh5046 a manh120 whath3477 is  1righth3476 for him,

24

Then let him be gracioush2603a to him, and sayh559, `Deliverh6308 him from  agoingh3381 downh3381 to the pith7845, I have foundh4672 a  bransomh3724a';

25

Let his fleshh1320 becomeh7375 fresherh7375 thanh4480 in youthh5290, Let him returnh7725 to the daysh3117 of his youthfulh5934 vigorh5934;

26

Then he will  aprayh6279 to Godh433, and He will accepth7521 him, That  bhe may seeh7200 His faceh6440 with joyh8643, And He may restoreh7725 His righteousnessh6666 to manh582.

27

"He will singh7891 to menh376 and sayh559, `I  ahave sinnedh2398 and pervertedh5753a whath3477 is righth3474, And it is not  bproperh7737a for me.

28

`He has redeemedh6299 my soulh5315 from goingh5674a to the pith7845, And my lifeh2421b shall  aseeh7200 the lighth216.'

29

"Beholdh2005, Godh410 doesh6466  aallh3605 theseh428  1oftentimesh6471h7969 with menh1397,

30

To  abringh7725 backh7725 his soulh5315 from the pith7845, That he may be enlightenedh215 with the lighth216 of lifeh2425b.

31

"Payh7181 attentionh7181, O Jobh347, listenh8085 to me; Keeph2790b silenth2790b, and let me speakh1696.

32

"Then ifh518  1you haveh3426 anythingh4405 to sayh4405, answerh7725 me; Speakh1696, for I desireh2654a to justifyh6663 you.

33

"Ifh518 not,  alistenh8085 to me; Keeph2790b silenth2790b, and I will teachh502 you wisdomh2451."
