1. Then Job answered and said,
2. Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your consolations.
3. Suffer me, and I also will speak; And after that I have spoken, mock on.
4. As for me, is my complaint to man? And why should I not be impatient?
5. Mark me, and be astonished, And lay your hand upon your mouth.
6. Even when I remember I am troubled, And horror taketh hold on my flesh.
7. Wherefore do the wicked live, Become old, yea, wax mighty in power?
