9 His measure is longer than the earth, and wider than the sea.

10 If he pass by, and put someone in chains, and bring him to judgment, who will reject him?

11 For he knoweth men that lie and sees iniquity, and will he leave it unattended?

12 But the empty man is wise, though man is born like a wild colt.

13 If thou shalt straighten thy heart, and stretch out thy hands unto him,

14 And if there be a blemish in thy hand, and thou wilt take it away, and let not iniquity dwell in thy tents,

15 then thou shalt lift up thy face without spot, and shalt be strong, and shalt not be afraid.

16 Then shalt thou forget the sorrow: thou shalt remember it as of water that has flowed.

17 And thy life shall go brighter than noonday; You'll brighten up like the morning.

18 And thou shalt be at rest, for there is hope; You are fenced off, and you can sleep safely.

19 Thou shalt lie down, and there shall be no one to be afraid, and many shall ingratiate themselves with thee.

20 The eyes of the wicked will fade, and their refuge will be lost, and their hope will be gone.

Chapter 12

1 And Job answered and said,

2 Truly, only you are men, and wisdom will die with you!

3 And I have a heart like you; I am not inferior to you; and who does not know the same?

4 Посмешищем стал я для друга своего, я, который взывал к Богу, и которому Он отвечал, посмешищем – человек праведный, непорочный.

5 Так презрен по мыслям сидящего в покое факел, приготовленный для спотыкающихся ногами.

6 Покойны шатры у грабителей и безопасны у раздражающих Бога, которые как бы Бога носят в руках своих.

7 И подлинно: спроси у скота, и научит тебя, у птицы небесной, и возвестит тебе;

8 или побеседуй с землею, и наставит тебя, и скажут тебе рыбы морские.
