1 Then Job replied ⌊to his friends⌋,
2 “Listen carefully to my words,and let that be the comfort you offer me.
3 Bear with me while I speak.Then after I’ve spoken, you may go on mocking.
4 Am I complaining about a person?Why shouldn’t I be impatient?
5 Look at me, and be shocked,and put ⌊your⌋ hand over ⌊your⌋ mouth.
6 When I remember it, I’m terrified,and shuddering seizes my body.
