If my heart has been enticed by a woman, and I have lain in wait at my neighbor’s door,

if I have raised my hand to vote against the orphan, when I saw my support in the court,

if I have rejoiced because of the extent of my wealth, or because of the great wealth my hand had gained,

if the members of my household have never said, ‘If only there were someone who has not been satisfied from Job’s meat!’ –

If there is an angel beside him, one mediator out of a thousand, to tell a person what constitutes his uprightness;

Teach me what I cannot see. If I have done evil, I will do so no more.’

If you sin, how does it affect God? If your transgressions are many, what does it do to him?

If you are righteous, what do you give to God, or what does he receive from your hand?

Should he be informed that I want to speak? If a man speaks, surely he would be swallowed up!

But extend your hand and strike everything he has, and he will no doubt curse you to your face!”

But extend your hand and strike his bone and his flesh, and he will no doubt curse you to your face!”

So now take seven bulls and seven rams and go to my servant Job and offer a burnt offering for yourselves. And my servant Job will intercede for you, and I will respect him, so that I do not deal with you according to your folly, because you have not spoken about me what is right, as my servant Job has.”
