1 Then Job answered and said:
2 “Keep listening to my words,and let this be your comfort.
3 Bear with me, and I will speak,and after I have spoken, mock on.
4 As for me, is my complaint against man?Why should I not be impatient?
5 Look at me and be appalled,and lay your hand over your mouth.
6 When I remember, I am dismayed,and shuddering seizes my flesh.
7 Why do the wicked live,reach old age, and grow mighty in power?
