11 With skin and flesh He clothed me, With bones and sinews He held me together,

12 Have you given me life and mercy, and your care has preserved my spirit?

13 But even these things thou hast hid in thy heart, I know that thou hadst them,

14 that if I sin, thou shalt take heed, and thou shalt not let my sin go unpunished.

15 If I am guilty, woe is me! if I am right, I will not dare to lift up my head. I am satiated with humiliation; Look upon my affliction;

16 it increases. Thou hast pursued me like a lion, and hast come upon me again, and hast appeared wondrous in me.

17 Thou hast brought forth new Thy witnesses against me; Thou hast increased Thy wrath against me; and troubles, one after another, are arrayed against me.

18 And why hast thou brought me out of the womb? let me die when no eye had seen me;

19 That I might be carried from the womb to the tomb as one who had not been!

20 Are not my days short? Leave me, depart from me, that I may be a little encouraged;

21 before I depart, and return no more, to the land of darkness and the shadow of death,

22 Into the land of darkness, such as is the darkness of the shadow of death, where there is no order, where it is as dark as darkness itself.

Chapter 11

1 And Zophar the Naamitite answered and said,

2 Is it not possible to give an answer to a multitude of words, and is a man who talks right in words?

3 Shall thy idle talk cause men to be silent, that thou mayest mock, and there shall be no one to shame thee?

4 Thou hast said, My judgment is right, and I am pure in thy sight.

5 But if God had spoken, and opened his mouth to thee,

6 And he hath revealed unto thee the mysteries of wisdom, which thou shouldst have borne twice as much! Therefore know that God has forgotten some of your iniquities for you.

7 Can You Find God by Searching? Can you fully comprehend the Almighty?

8 He is above the heavens, what can you do? deeper than hell, what can you know?
