³⁶ I wish that Job were tried to the end, Because of his answering like wicked men.

⁶ The tents of robbers prosper, Those who provoke God are secure; Who carry their God in their hands.

⁷ "Why do the wicked live, Become old, yes, and grow mighty in power?

¹⁵ Will you keep the old way Which wicked men have trodden,

¹⁶ For God has made my heart faint. The Almighty has terrified me.

¹ "Why aren't times laid up by the Almighty? Why don't those who know him see his days?

⁸ Who goes in company with the workers of iniquity, And walks with wicked men?

⁹ For he has said, 'It profits a man nothing That he should delight himself with God.'

³ You have proved my heart; you have visited me in the night; You have tried me, and found nothing; I have resolved that my mouth shall not disobey.

² Examine me, Yahweh, and prove me. Try my heart and my mind.

¹¹ Behold, we call them blessed who endured. You have heard of the patience of Job, and have seen the Lord in the outcome, and how the Lord is full of compassion and mercy.
