Job 21:1-6

1Then Job replied. This is what he said:

2‘Listen carefully to the things that I am saying. You can only help me if you do that.

3Be patient with me so that I can speak. After you have heard what I say, you may choose to laugh at me.

4It is not people that I want to argue with. So I have good reason to be upset.

5When you look at me, you should be upset. You should cover your mouth with your hand.

6I think about what has happened to me. It makes me very afraid. My body shakes with fear.
