Then Job responded by saying:
I beseech you to hear my words and to do penance.
Permit me, and I will speak, and afterwards, if you see fit, you can laugh at my words.
Is my dispute against man, so that I would have no reason to be discouraged?
Listen to me and be astonished, and place a finger over your mouth.
As for me, when I think it over, I am afraid, and trembling convulses my body.
