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
