TSK · Job 40:2

¶ Wherefore is light given to him that is in misery, and life unto the bitter [in] soul;

[Am] I a sea, or a whale, that thou settest a watch over me?

If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

For [he is] not a man, as I [am, that] I should answer him, [and] we should come together in judgment.

¶ If I sin, then thou markest me, and thou wilt not acquit me from mine iniquity.

¶ For now thou numberest my steps: dost thou not watch over my sin?

Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.

Thou art become cruel to me: with thy strong hand thou opposest thyself against me.

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

With whom took he counsel, and [who] instructed him, and taught him in the path of judgment, and taught him knowledge, and shewed to him the way of understanding?

[He is] near that justifieth me; who will contend with me? let us stand together: who [is] mine adversary? let him come near to me.

‹And when they had received› [it], ‹they murmured against the goodman of the house,›

For who hath known the mind of the Lord? or who hath been his counsellor?

Do we provoke the Lord to jealousy? are we stronger than he?
