Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

O LORD, how long shall I cry, and thou wilt not hear! {even} cry out unto thee {of} violence, and thou wilt not save!

Oh that I knew where I might find him! {that} I might come {even} to his seat!

I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me {not}.

Behold, I know your thoughts, and the devices {which} ye wrongfully imagine against me.

Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire {is, that} the Almighty would answer me, and {that} mine adversary had written a book. {my...: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}

For Job hath said, I am righteous: and God hath taken away my judgment.

Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, {and} who {is} he?

Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him. {maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue}

Not for {any} injustice in mine hands: also my prayer {is} pure.

O my God, I cry in the daytime, but thou hearest not; and in the night season, and am not silent. {am...: Heb. there is no silence to me}

For {he is} not a man, as I {am, that} I should answer him, {and} we should come together in judgment.

For since I spake, I cried out, I cried violence and spoil; because the word of the LORD was made a reproach unto me, and a derision, daily.

I cry unto thee, and thou dost not hear me: I stand up, and thou regardest me {not}.

Evening, and morning, and at noon, will I pray, and cry aloud: and he shall hear my voice.

Also when I cry and shout, he shutteth out my prayer.

Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire {is, that} the Almighty would answer me, and {that} mine adversary had written a book. {my...: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}

I went mourning without the sun: I stood up, {and} I cried in the congregation.

Although thou sayest thou shalt not see him, {yet} judgment {is} before him; therefore trust thou in him.

Doth God pervert judgment? or doth the Almighty pervert justice?

Howbeit he will not stretch out {his} hand to the grave, though they cry in his destruction. {grave: Heb. heap}
