Job 20:3

A Conservative Version

I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame, and the spirit of my understanding answers me.

See the chapter Copy

My words [shall utter] the uprightness of my heart, and that which my lips know they shall speak sincerely.

My mouth shall speak wisdom, and the meditation of my heart shall be of understanding.

I will teach you concerning the hand of God. That which is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

Therefore my thoughts cause me to answer, even because of my haste that is in me.

be ye afraid of the sword. For wrath [brings] the punishments of the sword, that ye may know there is a judgment.

These ten times ye have reproached me. Ye are not ashamed that ye deal hardly with me.
