## Text

[1] Then Job answered: [2] “How long will you torment me
and crush me with your words? [3] Ten times now you have reproached me;
you shamelessly mistreat me. [4] Even if I have truly gone astray,
my error concerns me alone. [5] If indeed you would exalt yourselves above me
and use my disgrace against me, [6] then understand that it is God who has wronged me
and drawn His net around me. [7] Though I cry out, ‘Violence!’ I get no response;
though I call for help, there is no justice. [8] He has blocked my way so I cannot pass;
He has veiled my paths with darkness. [9] He has stripped me of my honor
and removed the crown from my head. [10] He tears me down on every side until I am gone;
He uproots my hope like a tree. [11] His anger burns against me,
and He counts me among His enemies. [12] His troops advance together;
they construct a ramp against me
and encamp around my tent. [13] He has removed my brothers from me;
my acquaintances have abandoned me. [14] My kinsmen have failed me,
and my friends have forgotten me. [15] My guests and maidservants count me as a stranger;
I am a foreigner in their sight. [16] I call for my servant, but he does not answer,
though I implore him with my own mouth. [17] My breath is repulsive to my wife,
and I am loathsome to my own family. [18] Even little boys scorn me;
when I appear, they deride me. [19] All my best friends despise me,
and those I love have turned against me. [20] My skin and flesh cling to my bones;
I have escaped by the skin of my teeth. [21] Have pity on me, my friends, have pity,
for the hand of God has struck me. [22] Why do you persecute me as God does?
Will you never get enough of my flesh? [23] I wish that my words were recorded
and inscribed in a book, [24] by an iron stylus on lead,
or chiseled in stone forever. [25] But I know that my Redeemer lives,
and in the end He will stand upon the earth. [26] Even after my skin has been destroyed,
yet in my flesh I will see God. [27] I will see Him for myself;
my eyes will behold Him, and not as a stranger.
How my heart yearns within me! [28] If you say, ‘Let us persecute him,
since the root of the matter lies with him,’ [29] then you should fear the sword yourselves,
because wrath brings punishment by the sword,
so that you may know there is a judgment.”
