1Then Job answered and said,studyinterlinear
2How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?studyinterlinear
3These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.studyinterlinear
4And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.studyinterlinear
5If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:studyinterlinear
6Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.studyinterlinear
7Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.studyinterlinear
8He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.studyinterlinear
9He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.studyinterlinear
10He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.studyinterlinear
11He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.studyinterlinear
12His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.studyinterlinear
13He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.studyinterlinear
14My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.studyinterlinear
15They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.studyinterlinear
16I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.studyinterlinear
17My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine own body.studyinterlinear
18Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.studyinterlinear
19All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.studyinterlinear
20My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.studyinterlinear
21Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.studyinterlinear
22Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?studyinterlinear
23Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!studyinterlinear
24That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!studyinterlinear
25For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:studyinterlinear
26And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:studyinterlinear
27Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.studyinterlinear
28But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?studyinterlinear
29Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.studyinterlinear
