King James Bible |
Youngs Literal Translation |
|
| 16:1 | Then Job answered and said, | And Job answereth and saith: -- |
| 16:2 | I have heard many such things: |
I have heard many such things, Miserable comforters `are' ye all. |
| 16:3 | Shall |
Is there an end to words of wind? Or what doth embolden thee that thou answerest? |
| 16:4 | I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you. | I also, like you, might speak, If your soul were in my soul's stead. I might join against you with words, And nod at you with my head. |
| 16:5 | But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief. | I might harden you with my mouth, And the moving of my lips might be sparing. |
| 16:6 | Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, |
If I speak, my pain is not restrained, And I cease -- what goeth from me? |
| 16:7 | But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company. | Only, now, it hath wearied me; Thou hast desolated all my company, |
| 16:8 | And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face. | And Thou dost loathe me, For a witness it hath been, And rise up against me doth my failure, In my face it testifieth. |
| 16:9 | He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me. | His anger hath torn, and he hateth me, He hath gnashed at me with his teeth, My adversary sharpeneth his eyes for me. |
| 16:10 | They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. | They have gaped on me with their mouth, In reproach they have smitten my cheeks, Together against me they set themselves. |
| 16:11 | God |
God shutteth me up unto the perverse, And to the hands of the wicked turneth me over. |
| 16:12 | I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark. | At ease I have been, and he breaketh me, And he hath laid hold on my neck, And he breaketh me in pieces, And he raiseth me to him for a mark. |
| 16:13 | His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground. | Go round against me do his archers. He splitteth my reins, and spareth not, He poureth out to the earth my gall. |
| 16:14 | He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant. | He breaketh me -- breach upon breach, He runneth upon me as a mighty one. |
| 16:15 | I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust. | Sackcloth I have sewed on my skin, And have rolled in the dust my horn. |
| 16:16 | My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death; | My face is foul with weeping, And on mine eyelids `is' death-shade. |
| 16:17 | Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure. | Not for violence in my hands, And my prayer `is' pure. |
| 16:18 | O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place. | O earth, do not thou cover my blood! And let there not be a place for my cry. |
| 16:19 | Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is |
Also, now, lo, in the heavens `is' my witness, And my testifier in the high places. |
| 16:20 | My friends |
My interpreter `is' my friend, Unto God hath mine eye dropped: |
| 16:21 | O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour! | And he reasoneth for a man with God, And a son of man for his friend. |
| 16:22 | When |
When a few years do come, Then a path I return not do I go. |
