New International Version

Job 21:1-6 New International Version (NIV)

1. Then Job replied:

2. “Listen carefully to my words; let this be the consolation you give me.

3. Bear with me while I speak, and after I have spoken, mock on.

4. “Is my complaint directed to a human being? Why should I not be impatient?

5. Look at me and be appalled; clap your hand over your mouth.

6. When I think about this, I am terrified; trembling seizes my body.
