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 deal hardly with me. |
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 subverted me {cf15i in my cause}, and hath compassed me with his net. |
7
|
Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry for help, but there is no judgment. |
8
|
He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and hath set darkness in my paths. |
9
|
He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head. |
10
|
He hath broken me down on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he plucked up like a tree. |
11
|
He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as {cf15i one of} his adversaries. |
12
|
His troops come on together, and cast up their way against me, and encamp round about my tent. |
13
|
He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are wholly estranged from me. |
14
|
My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. |
15
|
They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. |
16
|
I call unto my servant, and he giveth me no answer, {cf15i though} I entreat him with my mouth. |
17
|
My breath is strange to my wife, and my supplication to the children of my {cf15i mother-s} womb. |
18
|
Even young children despise me; if I arise, they speak against me. |
19
|
All my inward friends abhor me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. |
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 me. |
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 inscribed in a book! |
24
|
That with an iron pen and lead they were graven in the rock for ever! |
25
|
But I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand up at the last upon the earth: |
26
|
And after my skin hath been thus destroyed, yet from my flesh shall I see God: |
27
|
Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another. My reins are consumed within me. |
28
|
If ye say, How we will persecute him! seeing that the root of the matter is found in me; |
29
|
Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath {cf15i bringeth} the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment. |
