1: And answeredH6030 JobH0347 and said,H0559

2: ListenH8085 carefullyH8085 to my speech,H4405 and let beH1961 thisH2063 your consolation.H8575

3: Bear with meH5375 that IH0595 may speak-H1696 and afterH0310 I have spoken,H1696 keep mocking.H3932

4: [is] as for me,H0595 against man?H0120 my complaintH7879 and if [it were]H0518 whyH4069 notH3808 should be impatientH7114 I?H7307

5: LookH6437 Look at meH0413 and be astonished,H8074 and PutH7760 [your] handH3027 overH5921 [your] mouth.H6310

6: And Even whenH0518 I rememberH2142 and I am terrified,H0926 and takes holdH0270 of my fleshH1320 trembling.H6427

7: WhyH4069 the wickedH7563 do live,H2421 [and] become old,H6275 Yes,H1571 become mightyH1396 in power?H2428

8: their descendantsH2233 are establishedH3559 in their sightH6440 with themH5973 and their offspringH6631 before their eyes.H5869

9: Their houses [are]H1004 safeH7965 from fear,H6343 and neitherH3808 [is] the rodH7626 of GodH0433 upon them.H5921

10: Their bullH7794 breeds,H5674 and without-H3808 failureH1602 calves,H6403 their cowH6510 and withoutH3808 miscarriage.H7921

11: They send forthH7971 like a flock,H6629 their little onesH5759 and their childrenH3206 dance.H7540

12: They singH5375 to the tambourineH8596 and harp,H3658 and rejoiceH8055 to the soundH6963 of the flute.H5748 They spendH1086 in wealth,H2896 their daysH3117 and in a momentH7281 to the graveH7585 go down.H5181

14: And yet they sayH0559 to God,H0410 DepartH5493 from usH4480 for the knowledgeH1847 of Your waysH1870 notH3808 we do desire.H2654

15: What [is]H4100 the Almighty,H7706 thatH3588 we should serve HimH5647 and whatH4100 profit do we haveH3276 ifH3588 we prayH6293

16: Indeed,H2005 notH3808 in their hand-H3027 their prosperity [is]H2898 the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me.H4480

17: How oftenH4100 is the lampH5216 of the wickedH7563 put out!H1846 and [How often] does comeH0935 upon themH5921 their destructionH0343 the sorrowsH2256 [God] distributesH2505 in His anger.H0639

18: They areH1961 like strawH8401 beforeH6440 the wind,H7307 and like chaffH4671 that carries awayH1589 a storm.H5492

19: [They say] GodH0433 lays upH6845 for his children-H1121 one's iniquityH0205 let Him recompenseH7999 himH0413 that he may know [it].H3045

20: Let seeH7200 his eyesH5869 his destruction,H3589 and of the wrathH2534 of the AlmightyH7706 let him drink.H8354

21: ForH3588 whatH4100 does he careH2656 about his householdH1004 after himH0310 and when the numberH4557 of his monthsH2320 is cut in half?H2686

22: can GodH0410 [anyone] teachH3925 knowledge?H1847 since HeH1931 those on highH7311 judges.H8199

23: This [on]H2088 diesH4191 in strength,H6106 his fullH8537 [Being] whollyH3605 at easeH7946 and secure.H7961

24: His pailsH5845 are fullH4390 of milk,H2461 and the marrowH4221 of his bonesH6106 is moist.H8248

25: And this [one]H2088 diesH4191 of his soul,H5315 in the bitternessH4751 and NeverH3808 having eatenH0398 with pleasure.H2896

26: AlikeH3162 inH5921 the dust,H6083 they lie downH7901 and wormsH7415 coverH3680 them.H5921

27: Look,H2005 I knowH3045 your thoughts,H4284 and the schemes [with which]H4209 meH5921 you would wrong.H2554

28: ForH3588 you say,H0559 where [is]H0346 the house ofH1004 the prince?H5081 and where [is]H0346 the tentH0168 the dwelling place ofH4908 the wicked?H7563

29: have notH3808 you askedH7592 those who travelH5674 the road?H1870 and their signs,H0226 notH3808 do you know.H5234

30: ForH3588 the dayH3117 of doom?H0343 are reserved forH2820 the wickedH7451 on the dayH3117 of wrathH5678 they shall be brought out.H2986

31: WhoH4310 condemnsH5046 toH5921 his face?H6440 his wayH1870 and heH1931 [for what] has done?H6213 whoH4310 repaysH7999

32: And yet heH1931 to the grave,H6913 shall be broughtH2986 and overH5921 the tombH1430 a vigil kept.H8245

33: Shall be sweetH4985 the clodsH7263 of the valleyH5158 and himH0310 everyH3605 EveryoneH0120 shall followH4900 and as before himH6440 as innumerableH0369 countless [have gone].H4557

34: Then howH0349 can you comfort meH5162 with empty words,H1892 since in your answersH8666 remainsH7604 falsehood?H4604
