1Then Job^H347 replied,^H6030H559
2"Even^H1571 today^H3117 my complaint^H7879 is rebellion;^H4805 His hand^H3027 is heavy^H3513 despite^H5921 my groaning.^H585
3"Oh^H4310H5414 that I knew^H3045 where I might find^H4672 Him, That I might come^H935 to His seat!^H8499
4"I would present^H6186 [my] case^H4941 before^H6440 Him And fill^H4390 my mouth^H6310 with arguments.^H9640
5"I would learn^H3045 the words^H4405 [which] He would answer,^H6030 And perceive^H995 what^H4100 He would say^H559 to me.
6"Would He contend^H7378 with me by the greatness^H7230 of [His] power^H3581? No,^H3808 surely^H389 He would pay^H7760 attention^H7760 to me.
7"There^H8033 the upright^H3477 would reason^H3198 with Him; And I would be delivered^H6403 forever^H5331 from my Judge.^H8199
8"Behold,^H2005 I go^H1980 forward^H6924 but He is not [there,] And backward,^H268 but I cannot^H3808 perceive^H995 Him;
9When He acts^H6213 on the left,^H8040 I cannot^H3808 behold^H2372 [Him;] He turns^H9399 on the right,^H3225 I cannot^H3808 see^H7200 Him.
10"But He knows^H3045 the way^H1870 I take;^H5973 [When] He has tried^H974 me, I shall come^H3318 forth^H3318 as gold.^H2091
11"My foot^H7272 has held^H270 fast^H270 to His path;^H9036 I have kept^H8104 His way^H1870 and not turned^H5186 aside.^H5186
12"I have not departed^H4185 from the command^H4687 of His lips;^H8193 I have treasured^H6845 the words^H561 of His mouth^H6310 more^H4480 than^H4480 my necessary^H2706 food.^H2706
13"But He is unique^H259 and who^H4310 can turn^H7725 Him? And [what] His soul^H5315 desires,^H183 that He does.^H6213
14"For He performs^H9608 what^H2706 is appointed^H2706 for me, And many^H7227 such^H1992 [decrees] are with Him.
15"Therefore,^H5921H3651 I would be dismayed^H926 at His presence;^H6440 [When] I consider,^H995 I am terrified^H6342 of Him.
16"[It is] God^H410 [who] has made my heart^H3820 faint,^H7401 And the Almighty^H7706 [who] has dismayed^H926 me,
17But I am not silenced^H6789 by the darkness,^H2822 Nor^H3808 deep gloom^H652 [which] covers^H3680 [me.]
