1	Then Job answered# and said# ,
			2	I know# it is so of a truth: but how should man be just# with God? [with God: or, before God?]
			3	If he will# contend# with him, he cannot answer# him one of a thousand.
			4	He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened# himself against him, and hath prospered# ?
			5	Which removeth# the mountains, and they know# not: which overturneth# them in his anger.
			6	Which shaketh# the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble# .
			7	Which commandeth# the sun, and it riseth# not; and sealeth up# the stars.
			8	Which alone spreadeth out# the heavens, and treadeth# upon the waves of the sea. [waves: Heb. heights]
			9	Which maketh# Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. [Arcturus...: Heb. Ash, Cesil, and Cimah]
			10	Which doeth# great things past finding out; yea, and wonders# without number.
			11	Lo, he goeth# by me, and I see# him not: he passeth on# also, but I perceive# him not.
			12	Behold, he taketh away# , who can hinder# him? who will say# unto him, What doest# thou? [hinder...: Heb. turn him away?]
			13	If God will not withdraw# his anger, the proud helpers# do stoop# under him. [proud...: Heb. helpers of pride, or, strength]
			14	How much less shall I answer# him, and choose out# my words to reason with him?
			15	Whom, though I were righteous# , yet would I not answer# , but I would make supplication# to my judge# .
			16	If I had called# , and he had answered# me; yet would I not believe# that he had hearkened# unto my voice.
			17	For he breaketh# me with a tempest, and multiplieth# my wounds without cause.
			18	He will not suffer# me to take# my breath, but filleth# me with bitterness.
			19	If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set# me a time to plead ?
			20	If I justify# myself, mine own mouth shall condemn# me: if I say , I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse# .
			21	Though I were perfect, yet would I not know# my soul: I would despise# my life.
			22	This is one thing , therefore I said# it , He destroyeth# the perfect and the wicked.
			23	If the scourge slay# suddenly, he will laugh# at the trial of the innocent.
			24	The earth is given# into the hand of the wicked: he covereth# the faces of the judges# thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
			25	Now my days are swifter# than a post# : they flee away# , they see# no good.
			26	They are passed away# as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth# to the prey. [swift...: or, ships of Ebeh: Heb. ships of desire]
			27	If I say# , I will forget# my complaint, I will leave off# my heaviness, and comfort# myself :
			28	I am afraid# of all my sorrows, I know# that thou wilt not hold me innocent# .
			29	If I be wicked# , why then labour# I in vain?
			30	If I wash# myself with snow water# , and make my hands never# # so clean# ;
			31	Yet shalt thou plunge# me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor# me. [abhor...: or, make me to be abhorred]
			32	For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer# him, and we should come# together in judgment.
			33	Neither is there any daysman# betwixt us, that might lay# his hand upon us both. [any...: Heb. one that should argue] [daysman: or, umpire]
			34	Let him take# his rod away# from me, and let not his fear terrify# me:
			35	Then would I speak# , and not fear# him; but it is not so with me. [it is...: Heb. I am not so with myself]
