[1] Then Job answered,
[2] “I have heard many such things.
You are all miserable comforters!
[3] Shall vain words have an end?
Or what provokes you that you answer?
[4] I also could speak as you do.
If your soul were in my soul’s place,
I could join words together against you,
and shake my head at you,
[5] but I would strengthen you with my mouth.
The solace of my lips would relieve you. [6] “Though I speak, my grief is not subsided.
Though I forbear, what am I eased?
[7] But now, God, you have surely worn me out.
You have made all my company desolate.
[8] You have shriveled me up. This is a witness against me.
My leanness rises up against me.
It testifies to my face.
[9] He has torn me in his wrath and persecuted me.
He has gnashed on me with his teeth.
My adversary sharpens his eyes on me.
[10] They have gaped on me with their mouth.
They have struck me on the cheek reproachfully.
They gather themselves together against me.
[11] God delivers me to the ungodly,
and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
[12] I was at ease, and he broke me apart.
Yes, he has taken me by the neck, and dashed me to pieces.
He has also set me up for his target.
[13] His archers surround me.
He splits my kidneys apart, and does not spare.
He pours out my bile on the ground.
[14] He breaks me with breach on breach.
He runs at me like a giant.
[15] I have sewed sackcloth on my skin,
and have thrust my horn in the dust.
[16] My face is red with weeping.
Deep darkness is on my eyelids,
[17] although there is no violence in my hands,
and my prayer is pure. [18] “Earth, don’t cover my blood.
Let my cry have no place to rest.
[19] Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven.
He who vouches for me is on high.
[20] My friends scoff at me.
My eyes pour out tears to God,
[21] that he would maintain the right of a man with God,
of a son of man with his neighbor!
[22] For when a few years have come,
I will go the way of no return.

King James Version
[1] Then JobH347 answeredH6030(QalImpf) and said,H559(QalImpf) [2] I have heardH8085(QalPerf) many such things:H7227 miserableH5999 comfortersH5162(PielPtc) [are] ye all. [3] Shall vainH7307 wordsH1697 have an end?H7093 or what emboldenethH4834(HiphImpf) thee that thou answerest?H6030(QalImpf) [4] I also could speakH1696(PielImpf) as ye [do]: ifH3863 your soulH5315 wereH3426 in my soul’sH5315 stead, I could heap upH2266(HiphImpf) wordsH4405 against you, and shakeH5128(HiphImpf) mine headH7218 atH1119 you. [5] [But] I would strengthenH553(PielImpf) you withH1119 my mouth,H6310 and the movingH5205 of my lipsH8193 should asswageH2820(QalImpf) [your grief]. [6] Though I speak,H1696(PielImpf) my griefH3511 is not asswaged:H2820(NiphImpf) and [though] I forbear,H2308(QalImpf) what am I eased?H1980(QalImpf) [7] But now he hath made me weary:H3811(HiphPerf) thou hast made desolateH8074(HiphPerf) all my company.H5712 [8] And thou hast filled me with wrinkles,H7059(QalImpf) [which] is a witnessH5707 [against me]: and my leannessH3585 rising upH6965(QalImpf) in me beareth witnessH6030(QalImpf) to my face.H6440 [9] He tearethH2963(QalPerf) [me] in his wrath,H639 who hatethH7852(QalImpf) me: he gnashethH2786(QalPerf) upon me with his teeth;H8127 mine enemyH6862 sharpenethH3913(QalImpf) his eyesH5869 upon me. [10] They have gapedH6473(QalPerf) upon me with their mouth;H6310 they have smittenH5221(HiphPerf) me upon the cheekH3895 reproachfully;H2781 they have gatheredH4390(HithImpf) themselves togetherH3162 against me. [11] GodH410 hath deliveredH5462(HiphImpf) me to the ungodly,H5760 and turned me overH3399(QalPerf) into the handsH3027 of the wicked.H7563 [12] I was at ease,H7961 but he hath broken me asunder:H6565(PilpImpf) he hath also takenH270(QalPerf) [me] by my neck,H6203 and shaken me to pieces,H6327(PilpImpf) and set me upH6965(HiphImpf) for his mark.H4307 [13] His archersH7228 compass me round about,H5437(QalImpf) he cleavethH6398 my reinsH3629 asunder,H6398(PielImpf) and doth not spare;H2550(QalImpf) he poureth outH8210(QalImpf) my gallH4845 upon the ground.H776 [14] He breakethH6555(QalImpf) me with breachH6556 uponH6440 breach,H6556 he runnethH7323(QalImpf) upon me like a giant.H1368 [15] I have sewedH8609(QalPerf) sackclothH8242 upon my skin,H1539 and defiledH5953(PoelPerf) my hornH7161 in the dust.H6083 [16] My faceH6440 is foulH2560(Poal2Perf) with weeping,H1065 and on my eyelidsH6079 [is] the shadow of death;H6757 [17] Not for [any] injusticeH2555 in mine hands:H3709 also my prayerH8605 [is] pure.H2134 [18] O earth,H776 coverH3680(PielImpf) not thou my blood,H1818 and let my cryH2201 have no place.H4725 [19] Also now, behold, my witnessH5707 [is] in heaven,H8064 and my recordH7717 [is] on high.H4791 [20] My friendsH7453 scornH3887(HiphPtc) me: [but] mine eyeH5869 poureth outH1811(QalPerf) [tears] unto God.H433 [21] O that one might pleadH3198(HiphImpf) for a manH1397 with God,H433 as a manH120 [pleadeth] for his neighbour!H1121 [22] When a fewH4557 yearsH8141 are come,H857(QalImpf) then I shall goH1980(QalImpf) the wayH734 [whence] I shall not return.H7725(QalImpf)
