      | ¶ | Then Job answered and said, | |
 | How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words? | ||
| These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed [that] ye make yourselves strange to me. | ||
| And be it indeed [that] I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself. | ||
| If indeed ye will magnify [yourselves] against me, and plead against me my reproach: | ||
| Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net. | ||
| Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but [there is] no judgment. | ||
| He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths. | ||
| He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown [from] my head. | ||
| He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree. | ||
| He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as [one of] his enemies. | ||
 | His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle. | ||
| ¶ | He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me. | |
| My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me. | ||
| They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight. | ||
| I called my servant, and he gave [me] no answer; I intreated him with my mouth. | ||
| My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children's [sake] of mine own body. | ||
| Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me. | ||
| All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me. | ||
| My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth. | ||
| ¶ | Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me. | |
| Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh? | ||
| ¶ | Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book! | |
| That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever! | ||
 | For I know [that] my redeemer liveth, and [that] he shall stand at the latter [day] upon the earth: | ||
| And [though] after my skin [worms] destroy this [body], yet in my flesh shall I see God: | ||
| Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; [though] my reins be consumed within me. | ||
| But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me? | ||
| Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath [bringeth] the punishments of the sword, that ye may know [there is] a judgment. |
