1 Then Job H347 answered H6030 and said, H559
2 Even H1571 today H3117 is my complaint H7879 bitter: H4805 my stroke H3027 is heavier H3513 than H5921 my groaning. H585
3 Oh that H4310 H5414 I knew H3045 where I might find H4672 him! that I might come H935 even to H5704 his seat H8499 !
4 I would order H6186 my cause H4941 before H6440 him , and fill H4390 my mouth H6310 with arguments. H8433
5 I would know H3045 the words H4405 which he would answer H6030 me , and understand H995 what H4100 he would say H559 unto me.
6 Will he plead H7378 against H5978 me with his great H7230 power H3581 ? No; H3808 but H389 he H1931 would put H7760 strength in me.
7 There H8033 the righteous H3477 might dispute H3198 with H5973 him ; so should I be delivered H6403 forever H5331 from my judge H4480 H8199 .
8 Behold H2005 , I go H1980 forward, H6924 but he is not H369 there ; and backward, H268 but I cannot H3808 perceive H995 him:
9 On the left hand, H8040 where he doth work, H6213 but I cannot H3808 behold H2372 him : he hideth H5848 himself on the right hand, H3225 that I cannot H3808 see H7200 him :
10 But H3588 he knoweth H3045 the way H1870 that I take: H5978 when he hath tried H974 me , I shall come forth H3318 as gold. H2091
11 My foot H7272 hath held H270 his steps, H838 his way H1870 have I kept, H8104 and not H3808 declined. H5186
12 Neither H3808 have I gone back H4185 from the commandment H4687 of his lips; H8193 I have esteemed H6845 the words H561 of his mouth H6310 more than my necessary H4480 H2706 food .
13 But he H1931 is in one H259 mind , and who H4310 can turn H7725 him? and what his soul H5315 desireth, H183 even that he doeth. H6213
14 For H3588 he performeth H7999 the thing that is appointed H2706 for me : and many H7227 such H2007 things are with H5973 him.
15 Therefore H5921 H3651 am I troubled H926 at his presence H4480 H6440 : when I consider, H995 I am afraid H6342 of H4480 him.
16 For God H410 maketh my heart soft H7401 H3820 and the Almighty H7706 troubleth H926 me:
17 Because H3588 I was not H3808 cut off H6789 before H4480 H6440 the darkness, H2822 neither hath he covered H3680 the darkness H652 from my face H4480 H6440 .
