²¹ Uz the oldest, and Buz his brother, and Kemuel, the father of Aram,

¹ There was a man in the land of Uz whose name was Job. He was without sin and upright, fearing God and keeping himself far from evil.

¹⁰ And the servant took ten of his master's camels, and all sorts of good things of his master's, and went to Mesopotamia, to the town of Nahor.

⁷ And in the words which the Lord had given him he said, From Aram Balak has sent for me, the king of Moab from the mountains of the East: come, put curses on Jacob for me and be angry with Israel.

² And Elihu, the son of Barachel the Buzite, of the family of Ram, was angry, burning with wrath against Job, because he seemed to himself more right than God;

¹ <To the chief music-maker; put to Shushan-eduth. Michtam. Of David. For teaching. When he was fighting against Aram-naharaim and Aramzobah, when Joab came back, and put twelve thousand of the Edomites to death, in the Valley of Salt.> God, you have put us away from you, you have sent us in all directions, you have been angry; O be turned to us again.

² By the power of your hand the earth is shaking and broken; make it strong again, for it is moved.

³ You have made the people see hard times; you have given us the wine of shaking for our drink.

⁴ Give a safe place to those who have fear of you, where they may go in flight from before the bow. (Selah.)

⁵ So that your loved ones may be made safe, let your right hand be my salvation, and give me an answer.

⁶ God has said in his holy place, I will be glad: I will make a division of Shechem, and the valley of Succoth will be measured out.

⁷ Gilead is mine, and Manasseh is mine; and Ephraim is the strength of my head; Judah is my law-giver;

⁸ Moab is my washpot; over Edom will I put out my shoe; over Philistia will a glad cry be sounded.

⁹ Who will take me into the strong town? who will be my guide into Edom?

¹⁰ Have not you put us away, O God? and you have not gone out with our armies.

¹¹ Give us help in our trouble; for there is no help in man.

¹² Through God we will do great things, for through him our haters will be crushed under our feet.
