1. And Job answereth and saith: --
2. Also--to-day [is] my complaint bitter, My hand hath been heavy because of my sighing.
3. O that I had known--and I find Him, I come in unto His seat,
4. I arrange before Him the cause, And my mouth fill [with] arguments.
5. I know the words He doth answer me, And understand what He saith to me.
6. In the abundance of power doth He strive with me? No! surely He putteth [it] in me.
7. There the upright doth reason with Him, And I escape for ever from my judge.
8. Lo, forward I go--and He is not, And backward--and I perceive him not.
