1. Then Job answered, and said:
2. Hear, I beseech you, my words, and do penance.
3. Suffer me, and I will speak, and after, if you please, laugh at my words.
4. Is my debate against man, that I should not have just reason to be troubled?
5. Hearken to me and be astonished, and lay your finger on your mouth.
6. As for me, when I remember, I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my flesh.
7. Why then do the wicked live, are they advanced, and strengthened with riches?
8. Their seed continueth before them, a multitude of kinsmen, and of children's children in their sight.
