Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts:

There was a man in the land of Uz, whose name {was} Job; and that man was perfect and upright, and one that feared God, and eschewed evil.

He that trusteth in his own heart is a fool: but whoso walketh wisely, he shall be delivered.

For I know nothing by myself; yet am I not hereby justified: but he that judgeth me is the Lord. {know: or, I am not conscious of any fault}

And why dost thou not pardon my transgression, and take away mine iniquity? for now shall I sleep in the dust; and thou shalt seek me in the morning, but I {shall} not {be}.

So that my soul chooseth strangling, {and} death rather than my life. {life: Heb. bones}

The heart {is} deceitful above all {things}, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

For if our heart condemn us, God is greater than our heart, and knoweth all things.

I loathe {it}; I would not live alway: let me alone; for my days {are} vanity.

My soul is weary of my life; I will leave my complaint upon myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul. {weary...: or, cut off while I live}

I am clean without transgression, I {am} innocent; neither {is there} iniquity in me.

For thou saidst, What advantage will it be unto thee? {and}, What profit shall I have, {if I be cleansed} from my sin? {if...: or, by it more than by my sin}

Behold, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan against the habitation of the strong: but I will suddenly make him run away from her: and who {is} a chosen {man, that} I may appoint over her? for who {is} like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who {is} that shepherd that will stand before me? {appoint me...: or, convent me in judgment?}
