Job: "But I would strengthen you with my words.
And the moving of my lips would assuage your grief.
Upright men shall be astonished at this. And the
innocent shall stir himself up against hippocrates."

Bildad: "How long will it be before you make a end
of words? Tell us so we can speak. Yeah the light of the
wicked shall be put out, and the spark of his fire shall
not shine."

Job: "How long will you vex my soul, and break me
in pieces with your words. My kinfolks have failed. my
friends have forgotten me. I know that my redeemer
lives and shall stand on the last days upon the earth.
Why do the wicked live, become old and is mighty in
power. Their children are established before their eyes.
Their eyes are safe from fear, and neither is the rod of
God upon them. They spend their days in wealth. Therefore
they say what is the almighty that we should serve him."

Eliphaz: "Is it any pleasure to the almighty that you are
righteous? Does he gain anything if you perfect your ways?
Is not your wickedness great and your iniquities infinite?
Acquaint yourself with God. And be at peace, and there by
good shall come to you. If you return to the almighty you
shall be built up. You should put away iniquities from your
dwelling, and you should make your prayers to him. And
he will hear you."

Job: "Oh that I knew where I might find him, that I might
come to his seat. I would know what he would say to me.
Would he plead against me with his great power? No, he
would he put strength into me. That is how the righteous
might dispute with him. But he knows the way I'd take,
and when he has tried me I shall come forth as gold.
Neither have I gone back from his commandants. Yeah
I have esteemed the words of his mouth, more than my
necessary food."

Job continues lament change in his life.

"Oh that I were in the months past, as I were in the days
that Elohim preserved me. When by his light I walked
through darkness. When the almighty was with me and
my children were with me. In the city the young men saw
me, and hid themselves. The aged men rose, stood up.
Princes stopped talking and the Nobles held their peace."
