New American Standard Bible 1995

Job Feels Insulted

1Then JobH347 1respondedH6030H559,2“HowH575 longH5704 will you tormentH3013 2me And crushH1792 me with wordsH4405?3TheseH2088 tenH6235 timesH6471 you have insultedH3637 me; You are not ashamedH954 to wrongH1970 me.4EvenH637 if I have trulyH551 erredH7686, My errorH4879 lodgesH3885 with me.5IfH518 indeedH551 you 3vauntH1431 yourselves againstH5921 me And proveH3198 my disgraceH2781 to me,6KnowH3045 thenH645 that 4GodH433 has wrongedH5791 me And has closedH5362 5His netH4685 aroundH5362 me.

Everything Is against Him

7“BeholdH2005, 6I cryH6817, ‘ViolenceH2555!’ but I getH6030 noH3808 answerH6030; I shoutH7768 for helpH7768, but thereH369 is noH369 justiceH4941.8He has 7walledH1443 up my wayH734 so that I cannotH3808 passH5674, And He has putH7760 8darknessH2822 on my pathsH5410.9He has 9strippedH6584 my honorH3519 from me And removedH5493 the 10crownH5850 from my headH7218.10He 11breaksH5422 me downH5422 on everyH5439 sideH5439, and I am goneH1980; And He has uprootedH5265 my 12hopeH8615 13like a treeH6086.11He has also 14kindledH2734 His angerH639 againstH5921 me And 15consideredH2803 me as His enemyH6862.12His 16troopsH1416 comeH935 togetherH3162, And 17buildH5549 up their 18wayH1870 againstH5921 me And campH2583 aroundH5439 my tentH168.

13“He has 19removedH7368 my brothersH251 farH7368 from me, And my 20acquaintancesH3045 are completelyH389 estrangedH2114 from me.14My relativesH7138 have failedH2308, And my 21intimateH3045 friendsH3045 have forgottenH7911 me.15Those who liveH1481 in my houseH1004 and my maidsH519 considerH2803 me a strangerH2114. I amH1961 a foreignerH5237 in their sightH5869.16I callH7121 to my servantH5650, but he does not answerH6030; I have to imploreH2603 him with my mouthH6310.17My breathH7307 is 22offensiveH2114 to my wifeH802, And I am loathsomeH2603 to my own brothersH1121H990.18EvenH1571 youngH5759 childrenH5759 despiseH3988 me; I riseH6965 up and they speakH1696 against me.19AllH3605 23my 24associatesH4962 abhorH8581 me, And thoseH2088 I loveH157 have turnedH2015 against me.20My 25boneH6106 clingsH1692 to my skinH5785 and my fleshH1320, And I have escapedH4422 only by the skinH5785 of my teethH8127.21PityH2603 me, pityH2603 me, O you my friendsH7453, For the 26handH3027 of GodH433 has struckH5221 me.22WhyH4100 do you 27persecuteH7291 me as GodH410 does, And are not satisfiedH7646 with my fleshH1320?

Job Says, “My Redeemer Lives”

23“OhH4310H5414 that my wordsH4405 were writtenH3789! OhH4310H5414 that they were 28inscribedH2710 in a bookH5612!24That with an ironH1270 stylusH5842 and leadH5777 They were engravedH2672 in the rockH6697 foreverH5703!25As for me, I knowH3045 that 29my 30RedeemerH1350 livesH2416, And 31at the lastH314 He will takeH6965 His standH6965 on the 32earthH6083.26Even afterH310 my skinH5785 33is destroyedH5362, Yet from my fleshH1320 I shall 34seeH2372 GodH433;27WhomH834 I 35myselfH589 shall beholdH2372, And whom my eyesH5869 will seeH7200 and not anotherH2114. My 36heartH3629 37faintsH3615 38withinH2436 me!28IfH3588 you sayH559, ‘HowH4100 shall we 39persecuteH7291 him?’ And ‘40What pretextH8328 for a caseH1697 against him can we findH4672?’29Then be afraidH1481 of 41the swordH2719 for yourselves, For wrathH2534 brings the punishmentH5771 of the swordH2719, SoH4616 that you may knowH3045 42there is judgmentH1779.”
