Hear diligently my speech,\par\tab And let my declaration be in your ears.
Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech,\par\tab And hearken to all my words.
Hear diligently my speech;\par\tab And let this be your consolations.
Hear now my reasoning,\par\tab And hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
This also shall be my salvation,\par\tab That a godless man shall not come before him.
Behold now, I have set my cause in order;\par\tab I know that I am righteous.
Oh that I had one to hear me!\par\tab (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me)\par\tab And {\i that I had} the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
