Be patient while I speak.\par Then after I have finished speaking,\par you may make fun of me.\par
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
“Be quiet and let me talk!\par I accept whatever happens to me.\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
People have crowded around me.\par They make fun of me and slap my face.\par
My friend speaks for me\par while my eyes pour out tears to God.\par
People stand around meand laugh at me.I watch them as they teaseand insult me.
“Listen to what I say.\par Let that be your way of comforting me.\par
You have seen God’s power\par with your own eyes.\par So why do you say such useless things?\par
