¹ Therefore, Job, hear thou my speeches, and hearken to all my words.

² Lo! I have opened my mouth, my tongue shall speak in my cheeks.

³ Of simple heart be my words, and my lips shall speak clean sentence.

⁴ The spirit of God made me, and the breathing of Almighty God quick-ened me.

⁵ If thou mayest, answer thou to me, and stand thou against my face.

⁶ Lo! God made me as and thee; and also I am formed of the same clay.

⁷ Nevertheless my miracle, that is, knowing given of God, either by miracle, to me, make thee not afeared, and mine eloquence be not grievous to thee.

⁸ Thou saidest in mine hearing, and I heard the voice of thy words,

⁹ I am clean, and without guilt, and unwemmed, and wickedness is not in me.

¹⁰ For God found quarrels in me, therefore he deemed me enemy to himself.

¹¹ He hath set [or put] my feet in a stock; he kept all my paths.

¹² Therefore this thing it is, in which thou art not made just; I shall answer to thee, that God is more than man.

¹³ Thou, Job, strivest against God, that not at all thy words [he] answered to thee.

¹⁴ God speaketh once, and the second time he rehearseth not the same thing.

¹⁵ God speaketh by a dream in the vision of night, when sleep falleth on men, and when they sleep in their bed.

¹⁶ Then he openeth the ears of men, and he teacheth them, and teacheth prudence or discipline;

¹⁷ that he turn away a man from these things which he made, and deliver him from pride;

¹⁸ and that he deliver his soul from corruption, and his life, that it go not into sword.

¹⁹ Also God blameth a man by sorrow in his bed, and he maketh all the bones of him for to wax rotten.

²⁰ Bread is made abominable to him in his life, and the meat, that before was to him desirable, loathed to his soul after.

²¹ His flesh shall fail for rot, and his bones, that were covered, shall be made naked.

²² His soul shall nigh to corruption, and his life to things bringing death.

²³ If an angel, one of a thousand, is speaking for him, that he show the equity of man,

²⁴ God shall have mercy on him, and shall say, Deliver thou him, that he go not down into corruption; I have found in what thing I shall do mercy to him.

²⁵ His flesh is wasted with torments; turn he again to the days of his young waxing age.

²⁶ He shall beseech God, and he shall be quemeful to him; and he shall see his face in perfect joy, and he shall yield to man his rightfulness [or rightwiseness].

²⁷ He shall behold men, and he shall say, I have sinned, and verily I have trespassed; and I have not received, as I was worthy.

²⁸ Forsooth he hath delivered his soul, that it should not go into perish-ing, but that he living should see light.

²⁹ Lo! God worketh all these things in three times by all men;

³⁰ that he again-call their souls from corruption, and enlighten them in the light of living men.

³¹ Job, take heed, and hear thou me, and be thou still, while I speak.

³² But if thou hast ready what thou shalt speak, answer thou to me, speak; for I will or desire, that thou appear just.

³³ That if thou hast not, hear thou me; be thou still, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
