²²Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.

²²Then call thou, and I will answere: or let me speake, and answere thou mee.

³⁵Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that mine adversary had written a book.

¹RIGHTEOUS art thou, O Lord, when I plead with thee: yet let me talk with thee of thy judgments: Wherefore doth the way of the wicked prosper? wherefore are all they happy that deal very treacherously?

³Oh that I knew where I might find him! that I might come even to his seat!

⁴I would order my cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.

⁵I would know the words which he would answer me, and understand what he would say unto me.

⁶Will he plead against me with his great power? No; but he would put strength in me.

⁷There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be delivered for ever from my judge.

³O that I knewe where I might find him! that I might come euen to his seate!

⁶Will he plead against me with his great power? No, but hee would put strength in me.

⁷There the righteous might dispute with him; so should I be deliuered for euer from my Iudge.

¹⁴How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?

¹⁵Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.

¹⁴How much lesse shall I answere him, and choose out my words to reason with him?

¹⁵Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answere, but I would make supplication to my Iudge.

²⁷Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices which ye wrongfully imagine against me.

²⁸For ye say, Where is the house of the prince? and where are the dwelling places of the wicked?

²⁹Have ye not asked them that go by the way? and do ye not know their tokens,

³⁰That the wicked is reserved to the day of destruction? they shall be brought forth to the day of wrath.

³¹Who shall declare his way to his face? and who shall repay him what he hath done?

³²Yet shall he be brought to the grave, and shall remain in the tomb.

³³The clods of the valley shall be sweet unto him, and every man shall draw after him, as there are innumerable before him.

⁶For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and stripped the naked of their clothing.

⁷Thou hast not given water to the weary to drink, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

⁸But as for the mighty man, he had the earth; and the honourable man dwelt in it.

⁹Thou hast sent widows away empty, and the arms of the fatherless have been broken.

¹⁰Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden fear troubleth thee;

¹¹Or darkness, that thou canst not see; and abundance of waters cover thee.

¹²Is not God in the height of heaven? and behold the height of the stars, how high they are!

¹³And thou sayest, How doth God know? can he judge through the dark cloud?

¹⁴Thick clouds are a covering to him, that he seeth not; and he walketh in the circuit of heaven.

¹⁵Hast thou marked the old way which wicked men have trodden?

¹⁶Which were cut down out of time, whose foundation was overflown with a flood:

¹⁷Which said unto God, Depart from us: and what can the Almighty do for them?

¹⁸Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsel of the wicked is far from me.

¹⁹The righteous see it, and are glad: and the innocent laugh them to scorn.

²⁰Whereas our substance is not cut down, but the remnant of them the fire consumeth.

²¹Acquaint now thyself with him, and be at peace: thereby good shall come unto thee.

²²Receive, I pray thee, the law from his mouth, and lay up his words in thine heart.

²³If thou return to the Almighty, thou shalt be built up, thou shalt put away iniquity far from thy tabernacles.

²⁴Then shalt thou lay up gold as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brooks.

²⁵Yea, the Almighty shall be thy defence, and thou shalt have plenty of silver.

²⁶For then shalt thou have thy delight in the Almighty, and shalt lift up thy face unto God.

²⁷Thou shalt make thy prayer unto him, and he shall hear thee, and thou shalt pay thy vows.

²⁸Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shall be established unto thee: and the light shall shine upon thy ways.

²⁹When men are cast down, then thou shalt say, There is lifting up; and he shall save the humble person.

³⁰He shall deliver the island of the innocent: and it is delivered by the pureness of thine hands.

⁶For thou hast taken a pledge from thy brother for nought, and ^†stripped the naked of their clothing.

⁷Thou hast not giuen water to the wearie to drinke, and thou hast withholden bread from the hungry.

⁸But as for the ^†mightie man, hee had the earth, and the ^†honourable man dwelt in it.

⁹Thou hast sent widowes away emptie, and the armes of the fatherlesse haue bene broken.

¹⁰Therefore snares are round about thee, and sudden feare troubleth thee,

¹⁵Hast thou marked the olde way which wicked men haue troden?

¹⁶Which were cut downe out of time, ^†whose foundation was ouerflowen with a flood.

^17*Which said vnto God, Depart from vs, and what can the Almightie doe ^‖for them?

^18*Yet he filled their houses with good things: but the counsell of the wicked is farre from me.

^19*The righteous see it, and are glad, and the innocent laugh them to scorne.

²⁰Whereas our ^‖substance is not cut downe, but the ^‖remnant of them the fire consumeth.

²¹Acquaint now thy selfe with ^†him, and be at peace: thereby good shal come vnto thee.

²²Receiue, I pray thee, the Lawe from his mouth, and lay vp his words in thine heart.

^23*If thou returne to the Almightie, thou shalt be built vp, thou shalt put away iniquitie farre from thy tabernacles.

²⁴Then shalt thou lay vp golde ^‖as dust, and the gold of Ophir as the stones of the brookes.

²⁵Yea the Almightie shall bee thy ^‖defence, and thou shalt haue ^†plenty of siluer.

²⁶For then shalt thou haue thy delight in the Almightie, and shalt lift vp thy face vnto God.

²⁷Thou shalt make thy prayer vnto him, and he shall heare thee, and thou shalt pay thy vowes.

²⁸Thou shalt also decree a thing, and it shal be established vnto thee: and the light shall shine vpon thy wayes.

²⁹When men are cast downe, then thou shalt say, There is lifting vp: and he shall saue the ^†humble person.

^30‖He shall deliuer the Iland of the innocent: and it is deliuered by the purenesse of thine hands.

⁷Remember, I pray thee, who ever perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

⁸Even as I have seen, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickedness, reap the same.

⁹By the blast of God they perish, and by the breath of his nostrils are they consumed.

¹⁰The roaring of the lion, and the voice of the fierce lion, and the teeth of the young lions, are broken.

¹¹The old lion perisheth for lack of prey, and the stout lion’s whelps are scattered abroad.

⁷Remember, I pray thee, who euer perished, being innocent? or where were the righteous cut off?

^8*Euen as I haue seene, they that plow iniquity, and sow wickednsse, reape the same.

¹CALL now, if there be any that will answer thee; and to which of the saints wilt thou turn?

²For wrath killeth the foolish man, and envy slayeth the silly one.

³I have seen the foolish taking root: but suddenly I cursed his habitation.

⁴His children are far from safety, and they are crushed in the gate, neither is there any to deliver them.

⁶The light shall be dark in his tabernacle, and his candle shall be put out with him.

⁸For he is cast into a net by his own feet, and he walketh upon a snare.

⁹The gin shall take him by the heel, and the robber shall prevail against him.

¹⁰The snare is laid for him in the ground, and a trap for him in the way.

⁵But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)

⁶God forbid: for then how shall God judge the world?
