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;

Let not God ^H433 seek ^H1875 it from above ^H4605,

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

“As for that night ^H3915, let thick ^H652 darkness ^H652 take ^H3947 it;

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

Let 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 wiped ^H3582 out ^H3582?

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

He [fn]wounds ^H4272, and 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 [fn]thrives ^H7373 before ^H6440 the sun ^H8121,

And his shoots ^H3127 go ^H3318 forth ^H3318 over ^H5921 his garden ^H1593.

“Behold ^H2005, this ^H1931 is the joy ^H4885 of [fn]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 consumes ^H3615 the blameless ^H8535 and the wicked ^H7563.’

“The earth ^H776 is given ^H5414 into the hand ^H3027 of 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 worthless ^H7723 men ^H4962,

And He sees ^H7200 wickedness ^H205, [fn]so will He not ^H3808 carefully ^H995 consider ^H995 it?

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

For a godless ^H2611 man ^H2611 may not come ^H935 before His presence ^H6440.

“Who ^H4310 will contend ^H7378 with me?

For now ^H6258 I am ^H2790 silent ^H2790 and will breathe ^H1478 my last ^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 is not with us?

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

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

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

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

“Establish ^H7760, now ^H4994, a pledge ^H6162 for me with Yourself;

Who ^H4310 is there that will clap ^H8628 my hand ^H3027 in pledge?

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

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

“Who ^H4310 will declare ^H5046 to his ^H1931 face ^H6440 about his actions ^H1870,

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

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

But the counsel ^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 turn ^H7725 Him?

And what His soul ^H5315 desires ^H183, that He does ^H6213.

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

Their portion ^H2513 is cursed ^H7043 on the earth ^H776.

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 thick ^H652 darkness ^H652 and shadow ^H6757 of death ^H6757.

“The deep ^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.

“So He said ^H559 to man ^H120, ‘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 number ^H5608 all ^H3605 my steps ^H6806?

“For that would be lewdness ^H2154;

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

That too ^H1571 would have been an iniquity ^H5771 calling for [fn]judgment ^H6416,

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

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

“But it is a spirit ^H7307 in man ^H582,

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

So if He keeps ^H8252 quiet ^H8252, who ^H4310 then can condemn ^H7561?

So if He hides ^H5641 His face ^H6440, who ^H4310 then can perceive ^H7789 Him?

He is above ^H5921 both nation ^H1471 and man ^H120 altogether ^H3162,

“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.

“So now ^H6258 [fn]men 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 suck ^H5966 up ^H5966 blood ^H1818;

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

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

Let its Maker ^H6213 bring ^H5066 near ^H5066 its sword ^H2719.

“No ^H3808 one is so fierce ^H393 that he dares to arouse ^H5782 it;

Who ^H4310 then is he that can stand ^H3320 before ^H6440 Me?

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

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