¹Then Job answered and said,3 sermons²How long will ye vex my soul, and break me in pieces with words?3 sermons³These ten times have ye reproached me: ye are not ashamed that ye make yourselves strange to me.5 sermons⁴And be it indeed that I have erred, mine error remaineth with myself.4 sermons⁵If indeed ye will magnify yourselves against me, and plead against me my reproach:4 sermons⁶Know now that God hath overthrown me, and hath compassed me with his net.3 sermons⁷Behold, I cry out of wrong, but I am not heard: I cry aloud, but there is no judgment.4 sermons⁸He hath fenced up my way that I cannot pass, and he hath set darkness in my paths.5 sermons⁹He hath stripped me of my glory, and taken the crown from my head.4 sermons¹⁰He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am gone: and mine hope hath he removed like a tree.3 sermons¹¹He hath also kindled his wrath against me, and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies.4 sermons¹²His troops come together, and raise up their way against me, and encamp round about my tabernacle.3 sermons¹³He hath put my brethren far from me, and mine acquaintance are verily estranged from me.5 sermons¹⁴My kinsfolk have failed, and my familiar friends have forgotten me.3 sermons¹⁵They that dwell in mine house, and my maids, count me for a stranger: I am an alien in their sight.3 sermons¹⁶I called my servant, and he gave me no answer; I intreated him with my mouth.3 sermons¹⁷My breath is strange to my wife, though I intreated for the children’s sake of mine own body.4 sermons¹⁸Yea, young children despised me; I arose, and they spake against me.3 sermons¹⁹All my inward friends abhorred me: and they whom I loved are turned against me.4 sermons²⁰My bone cleaveth to my skin and to my flesh, and I am escaped with the skin of my teeth.4 sermons²¹Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends; for the hand of God hath touched me.3 sermons²²Why do ye persecute me as God, and are not satisfied with my flesh?5 sermons²³Oh that my words were now written! oh that they were printed in a book!5 sermons²⁴That they were graven with an iron pen and lead in the rock for ever!5 sermons²⁵For I know that my redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:10 sermons²⁶And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God:12 sermons²⁷Whom I shall see for myself, and mine eyes shall behold, and not another; though my reins be consumed within me.8 sermons²⁸But ye should say, Why persecute we him, seeing the root of the matter is found in me?5 sermons²⁹Be ye afraid of the sword: for wrath bringeth the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.5 sermons
