 1 Then Job answered and said,

 2 I have heard many such things: miserable comforters *are* ye all.*

 3 Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?*

 4 I also could speak as ye *do:* if your soul were in my soul’s stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.

 5 *But* I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage *your grief*.

 6 Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and *though* I forbear, what am I eased?*

 7 But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.

 8 And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, *which* is a witness *against me:* and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.

 9 He teareth *me* in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.

 10 They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.

 11 God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.*

 12 I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken *me* by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.

 13 His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.

 14 He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.

 15 I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.

 16 My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids *is* the shadow of death;

 17 Not for *any* injustice in mine hands: also my prayer *is* pure.

 18 O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.

 19 Also now, behold, my witness *is* in heaven, and my record *is* on high.*

 20 My friends scorn me: *but* mine eye poureth out *tears* unto God.*

 21 O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man *pleadeth* for his neighbour!*

 22 When a few years are come, then I shall go the way *whence* I shall not return.*
