KING JAMES VERSION (KJV)
1 Wherefore, Job, I pray thee, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
2 Behold, now I have opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
3 My words shall be of the uprightness of my heart: and my lips shall utter knowledge clearly.
4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almighty hath given me life.
5 If thou canst answer me, set thy words in order before me, stand up.
6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in God's stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
7 Behold, my terror shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heavy upon thee.
8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I have heard the voice of thy words, saying,
9 I am clean without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquity in me.
10 Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,
11 He putteth my feet in the stocks, he marketh all my paths.
12 Behold, in this thou art not just: I will answer thee, that God is greater than man.
13 Why dost thou strive against him? for he giveth not account of any of his matters.
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiveth it not.
15 In a dream, in a vision of the night, when deep sleep falleth upon men, in slumberings upon the bed;
16 Then he openeth the ears of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17 That he may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 He keepeth back his soul from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 He is chastened also with pain upon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong pain:
20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soul dainty meat.
21 His flesh is consumed away, that it cannot be seen; and his bones that were not seen stick out.
22 Yea, his soul draweth near unto the grave, and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew unto man his uprightness:
24 Then he is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom.
25 His flesh shall be fresher than a child's: he shall return to the days of his youth:
26 He shall pray unto God, and he will be favourable unto him: and he shall see his face with joy: for he will render unto man his righteousness.
27 He looketh upon men, and if any say, I have sinned, and perverted that which was right, and it profited me not;
28 He will deliver his soul from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29 Lo, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring back his soul from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the living.
31 Mark well, O Job, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I will speak.
32 If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
33 If not, hearken unto me: hold thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisdom.
1 Wherefore, Iob, I pray thee, heare my speeches, and hearken to all my wordes.
2 Behold, now I haue opened my mouth, my tongue hath spoken in my mouth.
3 My words shalbe of the vprightnesse of my heart: and my lippes shall vtter knowledge clearely.
4 The Spirit of God hath made me, and the breath of the Almightie hath giuen me life.
5 If thou canst, answere me, set thy wordes in order before me, stand vp.
6 Behold, I am according to thy wish in Gods stead: I also am formed out of the clay.
7 Behold, my terrour shall not make thee afraid, neither shall my hand be heauie vpon thee.
8 Surely thou hast spoken in mine hearing, and I haue heard the voice of thy words, saying,
9 I am cleane without transgression, I am innocent; neither is there iniquitie in me.
10 Behold, hee findeth occasions against mee, hee counteth mee for his enemie.
11 He putteth my feete in the stockes, he marketh all my pathes.
12 Behold, in this thou art not iust: I will answere thee, That God is greater then man.
13 Why doest thou striue against him? for he giueth not account of any of his matters.
14 For God speaketh once, yea twice, yet man perceiueth it not.
15 In a dreame, in a vision of the night, when deepe sleepe falleth vpon men, in slumbrings vpon the bed:
16 Then hee openeth the eares of men, and sealeth their instruction,
17 That hee may withdraw man from his purpose, and hide pride from man.
18 Hee keepeth backe his soule from the pit, and his life from perishing by the sword.
19 Hee is chastened also with paine vpon his bed, and the multitude of his bones with strong paine.
20 So that his life abhorreth bread, and his soule daintie meate.
21 His flesh is consumed away that it cannot be seene; and his bones that were not seene, sticke out.
22 His soule draweth neere vnto the graue, and his life to the destroyers.
23 If there be a messenger with him, an interpreter, one among a thousand, to shew vnto man his vprightnesse:
24 Then hee is gracious vnto him, and sayth, Deliuer him from going downe to the pit; I haue found a ransome.
25 His flesh shall be fresher then a childes: he shall returne to the dayes of his youth.
26 He shall pray vnto God, and hee will be fauourable vnto him, and hee shall see his face with ioy: for hee will render vnto man his righteousnesse.
27 He looketh vpon men, and if any say, I haue sinned, and peruerted that which was right, and it profited mee not:
28 Hee will deliuer his soule from going into the pit, and his life shall see the light.
29 Loe, all these things worketh God oftentimes with man,
30 To bring backe his soule from the pit, to be enlightened with the light of the liuing.
31 Marke well, O Iob, hearken vnto me, hold thy peace, and I wil speake.
32 If thou hast any thing to say, answere me: speake, for I desire to iustifie thee.
33 If not, hearken vnto me: holde thy peace, and I shall teach thee wisedome.
