People stand around meand laugh at me.I watch them as they teaseand insult me.
Job, do you think we don’t have\par an answer for you?\par Do you think no one will warn you\par when you laugh at God?\par
“My friends laugh at me now.\par They say,\par ‘He prayed to God,\par and he got his answer.\par \{That is why all these bad things\par happened to him.\}’\par
If God checked you very closely,\par would he show you are right?\par Do you really think you can fool God\par the same as you fool people?\par
My friend speaks for me\par while my eyes pour out tears to God.\par
God has made my name\par a bad word to everyone.\par People spit in my face.\par
Be patient while I speak.\par Then after I have finished speaking,\par you may make fun of me.\par
You have seen God’s power\par with your own eyes.\par So why do you say such useless things?\par
That person will enjoy good things,\par and his children will keep the land \{God promised to give him\}.\par
You can go to God Most-High to hide.\par You can go to the God All-Powerful\par for protection.\par
