Berean Standard Bible
And
Job answereth
and
saith
: --
Then
Job answered
:
Till
when
do
ye
afflict
my
soul,
And bruise
me with words?
“How
long
will
you
torment
me
and crush
me with your
words?
These
ten times ye
put
me to
shame,
ye
blush
not.
Ye
make
yourselves
strange
to
me --
Ten times now
you
have
reproached
me ;
you
shamelessly
mistreat
me .
And
also
--
truly,
I have erred
, With
me
doth
my error remain
.
Even
if
I have truly
gone
astray
, my error concerns
me
alone
.
If ,
truly,
over
me
ye
magnify
yourselves ,
And decide
against me my
reproach;
If indeed
you
would
exalt
yourselves above
me
and use
my
disgrace
against me ,
Know
now,
that God turned
me upside
down,
And His net against
me hath
set
round,
then
understand
that it
is
God who
has
wronged
me and drawn
His net around
me .
Lo,
I cry out --
violence
, and
am
not
answered,
I cry
aloud
, and
there is no judgment
.
Though
I cry out, ‘Violence!’
I get
no
response;
though
I
call
for
help
, there is no justice
.
My way He
hedged
up,
and
I pass not
over,
And
on
my paths darkness He
placeth
.
He
has
blocked
my way so
I cannot
pass ;
He
has
veiled
my paths with
darkness.
Mine
honour
from
off
me
He hath
stripped ,
And He
turneth
the crown from my head.
He has
stripped me
of
my
honor
and removed
the crown from my head.
He breaketh
me down round
about,
and
I go,
And
removeth
like a tree my
hope
.
He tears
me down on
every
side
until
I am
gone;
He
uproots
my
hope
like a tree.
And
He
kindleth
against
me
His anger, And reckoneth
me to
Him
as
His adversaries
.
His anger burns
against
me
, and He
counts
me among
His enemies
.
Come
in
do
His troops together ,
And
they raise
up
against me their
way,
And encamp round
about
my tent.
His troops advance
together ;
they construct
a
ramp
against me and encamp around
my tent.
My brethren
from me He
hath
put
far
off,
And
mine
acquaintances surely
Have been
estranged
from
me.
He
has
removed
my brothers
from me ;
my
acquaintances have abandoned
me.
Ceased
have
my neighbours
And my familiar
friends have forgotten me ,
My kinsmen
have
failed
me,
and my friends have forgotten me .
Sojourners
of
my house
and my
maids,
For
a stranger reckon
me:
An
alien
I have
been
in their eyes
.
My guests
and maidservants
count
me
as
a stranger ;
I am
a
foreigner
in their sight
.
To
my servant I
have
called
, And
he doth
not answer, With my mouth I
make
supplication
to
him
.
I
call
for
my servant, but
he does
not answer, though
I
implore
him
with my own
mouth.
My spirit
is strange
to my wife, And my
favours
to the
sons
of
my `mother's'
womb
.
My breath
is repulsive
to my wife, and I
am
loathsome
to my own
family
.
Also
sucklings
have
despised
me ,
I rise
, and
they speak
against
me.
Even
little
boys
scorn
me ;
when
I appear
, they deride
me.
Abominate
me
do
all the
men
of
my counsel
, And those I have
loved,
Have been
turned against me.
All my best
friends
despise
me
, and those I love
have turned against me.
To
my skin and to
my
flesh Cleaved
hath
my bone,
And
I deliver
myself
with
the skin of my teeth.
My skin and flesh cling
to
my bones;
I have
escaped
by
the skin of my teeth.
Pity
me,
pity me, ye
my friends, For the hand of God hath
stricken
against
me.
Have
pity on
me, my friends, have
pity,
for the hand of God has
struck
me.
Why do you pursue
me as God? And
with
my flesh are
not
satisfied
?
Why do you persecute
me as God does
? Will
you
never
get
enough
of
my flesh?
Who
doth
grant
now,
That my words may
be
written?
Who
doth
grant
that
in a book they
may
be
graven?
I
wish
that my words were
recorded
and
inscribed
in a book ,
With
a
pen
of
iron and
lead --
For
ever
in a
rock
they
may
be
hewn
.
by
an
iron stylus
on
lead ,
or
chiseled
in stone
forever
.
That
--
I have
known
my Redeemer, The
Living
and the
Last,
For
the dust
he doth
rise
.
But
I know
that
my Redeemer lives
, and in
the end
He will
stand
upon
the
earth
.
And
after my skin hath
compassed
this
`body'
, Then
from
my flesh I see God :
Even
after my skin has
been
destroyed
, yet
in
my flesh I will
see God .
Whom
I --
I
see on
my side,
And
mine
eyes have
beheld
, and not a stranger ,
Consumed
have
been
my
reins
in
my
bosom
.
I will
see Him
for
myself;
my eyes will
behold
Him
, and not as
a stranger. How
my
heart
yearns
within
me!
But
ye
say, `Why
do
we
pursue
after
him ?'
And
the root of the matter hath
been
found
in
me.
If
you
say, ‘Let
us
persecute
him ,
since
the root of the matter lies
with
him,’
Be
ye
afraid
because
of
the sword, For
furious
`are'
the
punishments
of
the sword, That ye
may know that
`
there is '
a judgment.
then
you
should
fear
the sword yourselves
, because
wrath
brings
punishment
by
the sword, so
that you
may know there is a judgment. ”
