1 ♥ 📝 T hen Job^H347 answered^H6030 and said,^H559

2 ♥ 📝 I have heard^H8085 many such things:^H7227 Miserable^H5999 comforters^H5162 are ye all.

3 ♥ 📝 Shall vain^H7307 words^H1697 have an end?^H7093 Or what provoketh^H4834 thee that thou answerest?^H6030

4 ♥ 📝 I also could speak^H1696 as ye do; If^H3863 your soul^H5315 were^H3426 in my soul's^H5315 stead, I could join^H2266 words^H4405 together against you, And shake^H5128 my head^H7218 at^H1119 you.

5 ♥ 📝 [ But] I would strengthen^H553 you with^H1119 my mouth,^H6310 And the solace^H5205 of my lips^H8193 would assuage^H2820 [your grief].

6 ♥ 📝 Though I speak,^H1696 my grief^H3511 is not assuaged;^H2820 And though I forbear,^H2308 what am I eased?^H1980

9 ♥ 📝 He hath torn^H2963 me in his wrath,^H639 and persecuted^H7852 me; He hath gnashed^H2786 upon me with his teeth:^H8127 Mine adversary^H6862 sharpeneth^H3913 his eyes^H5869 upon me.

11 ♥ 📝 God^H410 delivereth^H5462 me to the ungodly,^H5760 And casteth me into^H3399 the hands^H3027 of the wicked.^H7563

13 ♥ 📝 His archers^H7228 compass me round about;^H5437 He cleaveth^H6398 my reins^H3629 asunder,^H6398 and doth not spare;^H2550 He poureth out^H8210 my gall^H4845 upon the ground.^H776

14 ♥ 📝 He breaketh^H6555 me with breach^H6556 upon^H6440 breach;^H6556 He runneth^H7323 upon me like a giant.^H1368

15 ♥ 📝 I have sewed^H8609 sackcloth^H8242 upon my skin,^H1539 And have laid^H5953 my horn^H7161 in the dust.^H6083

16 ♥ 📝 My face^H6440 is red^H2560 with weeping,^H1065 And on my eyelids^H6079 is the shadow of death;^H6757

17 ♥ 📝 Although there is no violence^H2555 in my hands,^H3709 And my prayer^H8605 is pure.^H2134

18 ♥ 📝 O earth,^H776 cover^H3680 not thou my blood,^H1818 And let my cry^H2201 have no [resting] -place.^H4725

19 ♥ 📝 Even now, behold, my witness^H5707 is in heaven,^H8064 And he that voucheth^H7717 for me is on high.^H4791

20 ♥ 📝 My friends^H7453 scoff^H3887 at me: [But] mine eye^H5869 poureth out^H1811 tears unto God,^H433

21 ♥ 📝 That he would maintain^H3198 the right of a man^H1397 with God,^H433 And of a son of man^H120 with his neighbor!^H1121

22 ♥ 📝 For when a few^H4557 years^H8141 are come,^H857 I shall go^H1980 the way^H734 whence I shall not return.^H7725
