Seeker Overlay ON

* Then responded Job , and said : * How long will ye grieve my soul ? or crush me with words ? * These ten times , have ye reviled me , Shameless ye wrong me . * And even if indeed I have erred , with myself lodgeth mine error . * If indeed , against me , ye must needs magnify yourselves , and plead , against me , my reproach . * Know , then , that , God , hath overthrown me , and , within his net , enclosed me . * Lo ! I cryout : Violence ! but receive no answer , I cry aloud , but there is no vindication ; * My way , hath he walled up , that I cannot pass , and , upon my paths , hath he made darkness rest ; * My gloryfrom off me , hath he stripped , and hath removed the crown of my head ; * He hath ruined me on every side , and I am gone , and he hath taken awaylike a treemy hope ; * Yea he hath kindled against me his anger , and accounted me towards him like unto his adversaries ; * Together , enter his troops and have cast up , against me , their mound , and have encamped all around my tent ; * My Brethrenfrom beside me , hath he moved far away , and , mine acquaintance , are wholly estranged from me ; * Failed me , have my near of kin , and , mine intimate acquaintances , have forgotten me ; * Ye guests of my house and my maidens , A stranger , have ye accounted me , An alien , have I become in their eyes ; * To mine own servant , I called , and he would not answer , With mine own mouth , I kept entreating him ; * My breath , is strange to my wife , and I am loathsome to the sons of my own mother ; * Even young children , despise me , I rise up , and they speak against me ; * All the men of mine intimate circle abhor me , and , these whom I loved , have turned against me ; * Unto my skin and unto my flesh , have my bones cleaved , and I have escaped with the akin of my teeth . * Pity me ! pity me ! ye , my friends , for , the hand of GOD , hath stricken me ! * Wherefore should ye persecute me as GOD ? and , with my flesh , should not he satisfied ? * Oh , then , that my words , could be written , Oh that , in a record , they could be inscribed : * That , with a stylus of iron and lead , for all timein the rock , they could be graven ! * But , I , know that , my redeemer , liveth , and , as the Last over dust , will he arise ; * And , though , after my skin is struck off , this , yet , apart from my flesh , shall I see GOD : * Whom , I myself , shall see , on my side , and , mine own eyes , have looked upon , and not those of a stranger . Exhausted are my deepest desires in my bosom ! * Surely ye should say Why should we persecute him ? seeing , the root of the matter , is found in me . * Be ye afraidon your partof the face of the sword , because , wrath ,
