1. But Iyov answered and said,
2. Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your tanechumot (consolations).
3. Bear with me that I may speak; and achar (after) that I have spoken, mock on.
4. As for me, is my complaint to adam (mortals)? Or why should my ruach not become impatient?
5. Look at me, and be astonished, and lay your yad upon your peh (mouth).
6. Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling taketh hold on my basar.
7. Madu'a (why) do the resha'im live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
8. Their zera is established in their sight with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
9. Their batim (houses) are shalom from pachad; neither is the shevet Eloah upon them.
10. Their shor (bull) breeds, and faileth not; their cow calveth, and doth not miscarry her calf.
11. They send forth their little ones like a tzon, and their yeladim jump about.
12. They sing to the tambourine and kinnor, and rejoice at the sound of the flute.
13. They spend their yamim in tov, and in a moment go down to Sheol.
14. Therefore they say unto El, Depart from us; for we desire not the da'as of Thy ways.
