1. But Job answered and said,
2. Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolation.
3. Bear with me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
4. As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
5. Look at me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
6. Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling takes hold on my flesh.
7. Why do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
