[Sidenote:  Job 16:11-13a]
God delivereth me to the ungodly,
And casteth me into the hands of the wicked. 
I was at ease, and he shattered me,
He seized me by the neck and dashed me to pieces,
He hath also set me up as his target,
His arrows encompass me round about.

[Sidenote Job 16:18-21]
O earth, cover not my blood,
And let my cry have no resting place. 
Even now behold my witness is in the heaven,
And he who voucheth for me is on high. 
He will be found to be my friend,
To God my eye pours out its tears. 
And he will maintain the right of a man with God,
And between a man and his neighbor!

[Sidenote:  Job 18:1, 5-7] Then answered Bildad the Shuhite, and said: 

The light of the wicked is put out,
And the flame of his fire does not shine,
The light is darkened in his tent,
And his light above him is put out. 
The steps of his strength are shortened,
And his own counsel shall cast him down.

[Sidenote:  Job 19:13-16] Then Job answered and said: 

My brothers keep far from me,
And my acquaintances are like strangers to me. 
My kinsmen have ceased to know me,
Even the guests in my house have forgotten me. 
My maids regard me as a stranger,
I am an alien in their sight.

[Sidenote:  Job 19:23-27]
Oh, that my words were now written! 
Oh, that they were inscribed in a book! 
That with an iron pen and lead
They were engraved in a rock forever! 
But I indeed know that my Vindicator liveth,
And at last he will stand upon the earth: 
And after this, my skin, is destroyed,
Then I shall behold God,
Whom I myself shall see on my side,
Mine eyes shall behold, and not a stranger.

[Sidenote:  Job 20:1-4] Then answered Zophar the Naamathite, and said: 

Not so do my thoughts give answer to me,
Because of this my haste is mine! 
I have heard the reproof which puts me to shame;
But with wind void of understanding you answer me. 
Have you not known this from of old,
Since man was placed upon the earth,
That the exulting of the wicked is short,
And the joy of the godless but for a moment?

[Sidenote:  Job:  21:1, 7-8]
Then answered Job and said: 
Why do the wicked live,
Grow old, and attain great power? 
Their descendants are established in their sight,
And their offspring before their eyes. 
Their households are secure from terror,
And the rod of God is not upon them.

[Sidenote:  Job 22:1-6]
Then Eliphaz the Temanite answered, and said,
Is a man of any account to God? 
Surely a wise man is of account to himself. 
Is it any pleasure to the Almighty that you are righteous? 
Or is it gain to him that you are upright? 
Is it because of your fear of him that he reproveth you,
That he entereth into judgment with you? 
Is not your wickedness great? 
And there is no end to your iniquities.
