1 But Job answered and said,
2 Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolation.
3 Bear with me that I may speak; and after that I have spoken, mock on.
4 As for me, is my complaint to man? and if it were so, why should not my spirit be troubled?
5 Look at me, and be astonished, and lay your hand upon your mouth.
6 Even when I remember I am afraid, and trembling takes hold on my flesh.
7 Why do the wicked live, become old, yea, are mighty in power?
