"For his eyes are on the ways of a man, He sees all his goings.

Because they turned aside from following him, And wouldn't have regard in any of his ways:

When he gives quietness, who then can condemn? When he hides his face, who then can see him? Alike whether to a nation, or to a man:

Shall his recompense be as you desire, that you refuse it? For you must choose, and not I. Therefore speak what you know.

'Job speaks without knowledge, His words are without wisdom.'

I wish that Job were tried to the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.

For he adds rebellion to his sin. He claps his hands among us, And multiplies his words against God."

But now, because he has not visited in his anger, Neither does he greatly regard arrogance.

Therefore Job opens his mouth with empty talk, And he multiplies words without knowledge."

He doesn't withdraw his eyes from the righteous, But with kings on the throne, He sets them forever, and they are exalted.

Behold, God is exalted in his power. Who is a teacher like him?

Who has prescribed his way for him? Or who can say, 'You have committed unrighteousness?'

"Remember that you magnify his work, Whereof men have sung.

Behold, God is great, and we don't know him. The number of his years is unsearchable.

For he draws up the drops of water, Which distill in rain from his vapor,

Yes, can any understand the spreading of the clouds, And the thunderings of his pavilion?

Behold, he spreads his light around him. He covers the bottom of the sea.

He covers his hands with the lightning, And commands it to strike the mark.

Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, The sound that goes out of his mouth.

He sends it forth under the whole sky, And his lightning to the ends of the earth.
