Text

1	Then Job answered and said:
2	“I have heard many such things; miserable comforters are you all.
3	Shall windy words have an end? Or what provokes you that you answer?
4	I also could speak as you do, if you were in my place; I could join words together against you and shake my head at you.
5	I could strengthen you with my mouth, and the solace of my lips would assuage your pain.
6	“If I speak, my pain is not assuaged, and if I forbear, how much of it leaves me?
7	Surely now God has worn me out; he has made desolate all my company.
8	And he has shriveled me up, which is a witness against me, and my leanness has risen up against me; it testifies to my face.
9	He has torn me in his wrath and hated me; he has gnashed his teeth at me; my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.
10	Men have gaped at me with their mouth; they have struck me insolently on the cheek; they mass themselves together against me.
11	God gives me up to the ungodly and casts me into the hands of the wicked.
12	I was at ease, and he broke me apart; he seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces; he set me up as his target;
13	his archers surround me. He slashes open my kidneys and does not spare; he pours out my gall on the ground.
14	He breaks me with breach upon breach; he runs upon me like a warrior.
15	I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin and have laid my strength in the dust.
16	My face is red with weeping, and on my eyelids is deep darkness,
17	although there is no violence in my hands, and my prayer is pure.
18	“O earth, cover not my blood, and let my cry find no resting place.
19	Even now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and he who testifies for me is on high.
20	My friends scorn me; my eye pours out tears to God,
21	that he would argue the case of a man with God, as a son of man does with his neighbor.
22	For when a few years have come I shall go the way from which I shall not return.

NIV

1	Then Job replied:
2	“I have heard many things like these; miserable comforters are you all!
3	Will your long-winded speeches never end? What ails you that you keep on arguing?
4	I also could speak like you, if you were in my place; I could make fine speeches against you and shake my head at you.
5	But my mouth would encourage you; comfort from my lips would bring you relief.
6	“Yet if I speak, my pain is not relieved; and if I refrain, it does not go away.
7	Surely, O God, you have worn me out; you have devastated my entire household.
8	You have bound me-and it has become a witness; my gauntness rises up and testifies against me.
9	God assails me and tears me in his anger and gnashes his teeth at me; my opponent fastens on me his piercing eyes.
10	Men open their mouths to jeer at me; they strike my cheek in scorn and unite together against me.
11	God has turned me over to evil men and thrown me into the clutches of the wicked.
12	All was well with me, but he shattered me; he seized me by the neck and crushed me. He has made me his target;
13	his archers surround me. Without pity, he pierces my kidneys and spills my gall on the ground.
14	Again and again he bursts upon me; he rushes at me like a warrior.
15	“I have sewed sackcloth over my skin and buried my brow in the dust.
16	My face is red with weeping, deep shadows ring my eyes;
17	yet my hands have been free of violence and my prayer is pure.
18	“O earth, do not cover my blood; may my cry never be laid to rest!
19	Even now my witness is in heaven; my advocate is on high.
20	My intercessor is my friend as my eyes pour out tears to God;
21	on behalf of a man he pleads with God as a man pleads for his friend.
22	“Only a few years will pass before I go on the journey of no return.

NLT

1	Then Job spoke again:
2	“I have heard all this before. What miserable comforters you are!
3	Won't you ever stop blowing hot air? What makes you keep on talking?
4	I could say the same things if you were in my place. I could spout off criticism and shake my head at you.
5	But if it were me, I would encourage you. I would try to take away your grief.
6	Instead, I suffer if I defend myself, and I suffer no less if I refuse to speak.
7	“O God, you have ground me down and devastated my family.
8	As if to prove I have sinned, you've reduced me to skin and bones. My gaunt flesh testifies against me.
9	God hates me and angrily tears me apart. He snaps his teeth at me and pierces me with his eyes.
10	People jeer and laugh at me. They slap my cheek in contempt. A mob gathers against me.
11	God has handed me over to sinners. He has tossed me into the hands of the wicked.
12	“I was living quietly until he shattered me. He took me by the neck and broke me in pieces. Then he set me up as his target,
13	and now his archers surround me. His arrows pierce me without mercy. The ground is wet with my blood.
14	Again and again he smashes against me, charging at me like a warrior.
15	I wear burlap to show my grief. My pride lies in the dust.
16	My eyes are red with weeping; dark shadows circle my eyes.
17	Yet I have done no wrong, and my prayer is pure.
18	“O earth, do not conceal my blood. Let it cry out on my behalf.
19	Even now my witness is in heaven. My advocate is there on high.
20	My friends scorn me, but I pour out my tears to God.
21	I need someone to mediate between God and me, as a person mediates between friends.
22	For soon I must go down that road from which I will never return.

KJV

1	Then Job answered and said,
2	I have heard many such things: miserable comforters are ye all.
3	Shall vain words have an end? or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest?
4	I also could speak as ye do: if your soul were in my soul's stead, I could heap up words against you, and shake mine head at you.
5	But I would strengthen you with my mouth, and the moving of my lips should asswage your grief.
6	Though I speak, my grief is not asswaged: and though I forbear, what am I eased?
7	But now he hath made me weary: thou hast made desolate all my company.
8	And thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me: and my leanness rising up in me beareth witness to my face.
9	He teareth me in his wrath, who hateth me: he gnasheth upon me with his teeth; mine enemy sharpeneth his eyes upon me.
10	They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me.
11	God hath delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.
12	I was at ease, but he hath broken me asunder: he hath also taken me by my neck, and shaken me to pieces, and set me up for his mark.
13	His archers compass me round about, he cleaveth my reins asunder, and doth not spare; he poureth out my gall upon the ground.
14	He breaketh me with breach upon breach, he runneth upon me like a giant.
15	I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin, and defiled my horn in the dust.
16	My face is foul with weeping, and on my eyelids is the shadow of death;
17	Not for any injustice in mine hands: also my prayer is pure.
18	O earth, cover not thou my blood, and let my cry have no place.
19	Also now, behold, my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high.
20	My friends scorn me: but mine eye poureth out tears unto God.
21	O that one might plead for a man with God, as a man pleadeth for his neighbour!
22	When a few years are come, then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.
