There was a man ^H376 in the land ^H776 of Uz ^H5780 whose name ^H8034 was Job ^H347; and that man ^H376 was blameless ^H8535, upright ^H3477, fearing ^H3372 God ^H430 and turning ^H5493 away ^H5493 from evil ^H7451.

“May that day ^H3117 be darkness ^H2822;

May God ^H433 above ^H4605 not care ^H1875 for it,

Nor ^H408 light ^H5105 shine ^H3313 on it.

“As for that night ^H3915, may darkness ^H652 seize ^H3947 it;

May it not rejoice ^H2302 among the days ^H3117 of the year ^H8141;

May it not come ^H935 into the number ^H4557 of the months ^H3391.

“The small ^H6996 and the great ^H1419 are there ^H8033,

And the slave ^H5650 is free ^H2670 from his master ^H113.

“Remember ^H2142 now ^H4994, who ^H4310 ever perished ^H6 being innocent ^H5355?

Or where ^H375 were the upright ^H3477 destroyed ^H3582?

“For He inflicts ^H3510 pain ^H3510, and [fn]gives ^H2280 relief ^H2280;

He wounds ^H4272, but His hands ^H3027 also heal ^H7495.

“Behold ^H2009 this ^H2088; we have investigated ^H2713 it, and so ^H3651 it is.

Hear ^H8085 it, and know ^H3045 for yourself.”

“He flourishes ^H7373 before ^H6440 the sun ^H8121,

And his shoots ^H3127 spread ^H3318 out ^H3318 over ^H5921 his garden ^H1593.

“Behold ^H2005, this ^H1931 is the joy ^H4885 of His way ^H1870;

And out of the dust ^H6083 others ^H312 will spring ^H6779.

“It is all one ^H259; therefore ^H5921 H3651 I say ^H559,

‘He destroys ^H3615 the guiltless ^H8535 and the wicked ^H7563.’

“The earth ^H776 is handed ^H5414 H3027 over ^H5414 to the wicked ^H7563;

He covers ^H3680 the faces ^H6440 of its judges ^H8199.

If ^H518 it is not He, then ^H645 who ^H4310 is it?

“For He knows ^H3045 false ^H7723 people ^H4962,

And He sees ^H7200 injustice ^H205 [fn]without ^H3808 investigating ^H995.

“This ^H1931 also ^H1571 will be my salvation ^H3444,

For a godless ^H2611 person ^H2611 cannot come ^H935 before His presence ^H6440.

“Who ^H4310 could contend ^H7378 with me?

For then ^H6258 I would be ^H2790 silent ^H2790 and die ^H1478.

While [fn]I am ^H1086 decaying ^H1086 like a rotten ^H7538 thing ^H7538,

Like a garment ^H899 that is moth-eaten ^H6211 H398.

“What ^H4100 do you know ^H3045 that we do not know ^H3045?

What do you understand ^H995 that [fn]we do not?

“The wicked ^H7563 person ^H7563 writhes ^H2342 in ^H2342 pain ^H2342 all ^H3605 his days ^H3117,

And the [fn]years ^H8141 reserved ^H6845 for the ruthless ^H6184 are numbered ^H4557.

“He does not believe ^H539 that he will return ^H7725 from darkness ^H2822,

And he is destined ^H6822 for the sword ^H2719.

“Make ^H7760 a pledge ^H6162 for me with Yourself;

Who ^H4310 is there that will [fn]be ^H8628 my guarantor ^H8628 H3027?

“Can anyone teach ^H3925 God ^H410 knowledge ^H1847,

In that He judges ^H8199 those on high ^H7311?

“Who ^H4310 [fn]confronts ^{H5046 H5921 H6440} him with his actions ^H1870,

And who ^H4310 repays ^H7999 him for what he has done ^H6213?

“Yet He filled ^H4390 their houses ^H1004 with good ^H2896 things;

But the advice ^H6098 of the wicked ^H7563 is ^H7368 far ^H7368 from me.

“Would He contend ^H7378 with me by the greatness ^H7230 of His power ^H3581?

No ^H3808, surely ^H389 He would pay ^H7760 attention ^H7760 to me.

“But He is unique ^H259, and who ^H4310 can [fn]make ^H7725 Him turn ^H7725?

Whatever His soul ^H5315 desires ^H183, He does ^H6213 it.

“They are [fn]insignificant ^H7031 on the surface ^H6440 of the water ^H4325;

Their plot ^H2513 of ^H2513 land ^H2513 on the earth ^H776 is cursed ^H7043.

They do not turn ^H6437 [fn]toward ^H1870 the vineyards ^H3754.

“Man puts ^H7760 an end ^H7093 to darkness ^H2822,

And to the farthest ^H3605 limit ^H8503 he searches ^H2713 out ^H2713

The rock ^H68 in gloom ^H652 and deep ^H6757 shadow ^H6757.

“The ocean ^H8415 depth ^H8415 says ^H559, ‘It is not in me’;

And the sea ^H3220 says ^H559, ‘It is not with me.’

“God ^H430 understands ^H995 its way ^H1870,

And He knows ^H3045 its place ^H4725.

“And to mankind ^H120 He said ^H559, ‘Behold ^H2005, the fear ^H3374 of the Lord ^H136, that is wisdom ^H2451;

And to turn ^H5493 away ^H5493 from evil ^H7451 is understanding ^H998.’”

“Does He not see ^H7200 my ways ^H1870,

And count ^H5608 all ^H3605 my steps ^H6806?

“For that would be a lustful ^H2154 crime ^H2154;

Moreover, it would be wrongdoing ^H5771 punishable by judges ^H6414.

That too ^H1571 would have been a guilty ^H5771 deed ^H5771 calling for [fn]judgment ^H6416,

For I would have denied ^H3584 God ^H410 above ^H4480 H4605.

Then these ^H428 three ^H7969 men ^H376 stopped ^H7673 answering ^H6030 Job ^H347, because ^H3588 he was righteous ^H6662 in his own eyes ^H5869.

“But it is a spirit ^H7307 that is in mankind ^H582,

And the breath ^H5397 of the Almighty ^H7706 gives ^H995 them understanding ^H995.

When He keeps ^H8252 quiet ^H8252, who ^H4310 can condemn ^H7561?

And when He hides ^H5641 His face ^H6440, who ^H4310 then can look ^H7789 at ^H7789 Him,

That is, regarding ^H5921 both ^H3162 nation ^H1471 and a person ^H120?—

“It changes ^H4524 direction ^H4524, turning ^H2015 around ^H2015 by His guidance ^H8458,

That [fn]it may do ^H6466 whatever ^H3605 H834 He commands ^H6680 [fn]it

On the face ^H6440 of the inhabited ^H8398 earth ^H776.

“Now ^H6258 people do not see ^H7200 the light ^H216 which ^H1931 is bright ^H925 in the skies ^H7834;

But the wind ^H7307 has passed ^H5674 and cleared ^H2891 them.

“His young ^H667 ones ^H667 also lick ^H5966 up ^H5966 blood ^H1818 greedily ^H5966;

And where ^H834 the slain ^H2491 are, there ^H8033 he is.”

“He is the first ^H7225 of the ways ^H1870 of God ^H410;

Let his Maker ^H6213 bring ^H5066 His sword ^H2719 near ^H5066.

“No ^H3808 one is so reckless ^H393 that he dares to stir ^H5782 him;

Who ^H4310 then is he who opposes ^H3320 Me?

“[fn]He looks ^H7200 on everything ^H3605 that is high ^H1364;

He is king ^H4428 over ^H5921 all ^H3605 the sons ^H1121 of pride ^H7830.”
