Job’s Response to Bildad’s Second Speech
Then Job answered and said, “How long will ye vex my soul and break me in pieces with words? These ten times have you reproached me; are you not ashamed that you make yourselves strange to me? And be it indeed that that I have erred my error remaineth with myself. If indeed ye will magnify against me and plead against me my reproach. Know not that God hath overthrown me and hath compassed me with his net? Behold, I cry out of wrong but I am not heard. I cry aloud but there is no judgment. He has fenced up my way that I cannot pass; and he hath and has set darkness into my paths. He hath stripped me of my glory and taken the crown from me head. He hath destroyed me on every side. And I am gone and mine hope has he removed like a tree. He hath also kindles his wrath against and he counteth me unto him as one of his enemies. His troops come together and raise up their way against me. And encamp round about my tabernacle. He hath put my brethren far from me and my acquaintances are very estranged from me. My kinfolk have failed and my family friends have forgotten me. They that dwell in mine house and my maids count me for a stranger; I am an alien in their sight [to be continued]

End of Bildad’s Second Speech
 His strength shall be hugerbitten and destruction shall be ready at his side. It shall devour strength of his skin even the first born of death shall devour his strength. His confidence shall be rooted out of his tabernacle and it shall bring him to the king of terrors. It shall dwell in his tabernacle because it is none of his, brainstorm shall be scattered upon his habitation His roots shall be dried up beneath and above shall his branch be cut off. His remembrance shall perish from the earth, and he shall have no name in the street. He shall be driven from light into darkness and chased out of the world. He shall neither have son nor nephew among his people nor any remaining among his dwellings. They that come after him shall be astoned at his day as they that went before were affrighted. Surely such are the dwelling of the wicked and this is the place of him that knoweth not God.

Bildad’s Second Speech.
Then answered Bildad the Shuhite and said: “How long will it be aye ye make an end of words? Mark, and afterwards we will speak. Wherefore are we counted as beasts and imputed vile in your site? He teareth himself in his anger. Shall the earth be forsaken for thee? And shall the rock be removed out of its place? Yes the light of the wicked shall be put out and the spark of his fire shall not shine. The light shall be dark in his tabernacle and his candle shall be put out with him. The steps of his strength shall be straightened and his own counsel shall cast him down. For he is cast into a pit by his own feet and he walketh upon a snare. The gin shall take him by the heel and the robber shall prevail against him. The snare is laid for him in the ground and a trap for him in the way. Terrors shall make him afraid on every side and shall drive him to his feet.

Job Continues – He will rest in death.
My breath is corrupt; my days are extinct, the graves are ready for me. Are there not mockers with me? And does not my eye continue in their provocation? Lay down now, put me in a surety with thee. Who is he that will strike hands with me? For thou hast hid their heart from understanding; therefore shall thou not exalt them. He that speaketh flatter, to his family even the eyes of the children shall fail. He hath made me also a byword of the people, and aforetime was as a tabret. My eyes also is dim by reason of sorrow and all my members are a shadow. Upright men shall be astounded at this, and the innocent shall stir up himself against the hypocrite. The righteous also shall hold on his way, and he that has clean hands shall be stronger and stronger. But as for you all for ye return and come now, for I cannot find one wise among you. My days are past; my purposes are broken off, even the thoughts of my heart. They change the night into day, the light is short because of darkness. If I wait, the grave is my house, I have made my bed in the darkness. I have said to corruption, Thou art my father, to the worm thou art my mother and my sister; and where is now my hope? As for my hope who shall see it? They shall go down to the bars of the pit, when our rest together is in the dust.www.chaberbooks.com

Job continues to address his Miserable Comforters
I was at ease, but He has broken me asunder. He has also taken me by my neck and shaken me to pieces and set me up for his mark. His archers compass me round about; He cleaveth my reins asunder and doth not spare. He poureth out my gall upon the ground. He breaketh me with breach upon breach. He runneth upon me like a giant I have sewed sackcloth upon my skin and defile my horn in the dust. My face is foul with weeping and on my eyelids is the shadow of death. Not for any injustice in my hand also my prayer is pure. O earth cover not thou my blood and let my cry have no place; also now behold my witness is in heaven, and my record is on high. My friends scorn me; but my eyes poureth out tears unto God. O that one might plead with God for man as a man pleadeth for his neighbor. When a few years are come then I shall go the way whence I shall not return.

Job calls his Friends. Miserable Comforters.
Then Job answered and said: ”I have heard many such things, miserable comforters are you all. Shall vain words have an end? Or what emboldeneth thee that thou answerest? I also could speak as you do. If your soul were in my soul’s stead. I could heap up words against you and shake my head at you. But I would strengthen you with my mouth and the moving of my lips should assuage your grief. Though I speak, my grief is not assuaged and though I forbear what am I eased? But now he hath made me weary, thou hast made desolation all my company; and thou hast filled me with wrinkles, which is a witness against me; and my leanness rising up in me, bear witness to my face. He teaseth me in his wrath, who hateth me he gnasheth upon me with his teeth. My enemy sharpeneth his eye upon me. They have gaped upon me with their mouth; they have smitten me upon the cheek reproachfully; they have gathered themselves together against me. God has delivered me to the ungodly, and turned me over into the hands of the wicked.

Eliphaz continues to chastise Job

                He hypothesized: “Which wise men have told from their fathers and have not hid it? Unto whom alone the earth was given and no stranger pass among them. The wicked man travaileth in pain all his days and the number of years is hidden from the oppressor. A dreadful sound is in his ears in prosperity the destroyer shall come upon him. He believeth not that he shall return out of darkness, and he is waited for of the sword. He wandereth abroad for bread saying, where is it? He knoweth that the day of darkness is ready at his hand. Trouble and anguish shall make him afraid. They shall prevail against him as a king ready to the battle; for he stretcheth out his hand against God and strengtheneth himself against the Almighty. He runneth upon him even upon his neck; upon the thick bosses of his bucklers, because he covereth his face with his fatness and makes collops of fat on his flanks. And he dwelleth in desolate cities, and in houses which no man inhabiteth; which are ready to become heaps. He shall not be rich neither shall his substance continue. Neither shall he prolong the perfection thereof upon the earth. He shall not depart out of darkness; the flame shall dry up his branches, and by the breath of his mouth shall he go away. Let not him that is deceived trust in vanity; for vanity shall be his recompense. It shall be accomplished before his time, and his branch shall not be given. He shall shake off the unripe grape as the vine, and shall cast off his flower as the olive. For the congregation of hypocrites shall be desolate, and fire shall consume the tabernacles of bribery. They conceive mischief, and bring forth vanity, and their belly prepareth deceit.
