The Holy Tanakh: Job: Chapter 7

|
{11}
Therefore I will not refrain my mouth; I will speak in the anguish of my spirit; I will complain in the bitterness of my soul.
|
{12}
Am I a sea, or a sea-monster, that Thou settest a watch over me?
|
{13}
When I say: 'My bed shall comfort me, my couch shall ease my complaint';
|
{14}
Then Thou scarest me with dreams, and terrifiest me through visions;
|
{15}
So that my soul chooseth strangling, and death rather than these my bones.
|
{16}
I loathe it; I shall not live alway; let me alone; for my days are vanity.
|
{17}
What is man, that Thou shouldest magnify him, and that Thou shouldest set Thy heart upon him,
|
{18}
And that Thou shouldest remember him every morning, and try him every moment?
|
{19}
How long wilt Thou not look away from me, nor let me alone till I swallow down my spittle?
|
{20}
If I have sinned, what do I unto Thee, O Thou watcher of men? Why hast Thou set me as a mark for Thee, so that I am a burden to myself?
|
{21}
And why dost Thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? For now shall I lie down in the dust; and Thou wilt seek me, but I shall not be.

Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said:
|
{2}
How long wilt thou speak these things, seeing that the words of thy mouth are as a mighty wind?
|
{3}
Doth God pervert judgment? Or doth the Almighty pervert justice?
|
{4}
If thy children sinned against Him, He delivered them into the hand of their transgression.
|
{5}
If thou wouldest seek earnestly unto God, and make thy supplication to the Almighty;
|
{6}
If thou wert pure and upright; surely now He would awake for thee, and make the habitation of thy righteousness prosperous.
|
{7}
And though thy beginning was small, yet thy end should greatly increase.
|
{8}
For inquire, I pray thee, of the former generation, and apply thyself to that which their fathers have searched out--
|
{9}
For we are but of yesterday, and know nothing, because our days upon earth are a shadow--
|
{10}
Shall not they teach thee, and tell thee, and utter words out of their heart?
