"Take note of me and be full of wonder, put your hand on your mouth."
— Job 21:5, Bible in Basic English
“Mark me, and be astonished, And lay your hand upon your mouth. ”
Give attention with care to my words; and let this be your comfort.
Let me say what is in my mind, and after that, go on making sport of me.
As for me, is my outcry against man? is it then to be wondered at if my spirit is troubled?
Take note of me and be full of wonder, put your hand on your mouth.
At the very thought of it my flesh is shaking with fear.
Why is life given to the evil-doers? why do they become old and strong in power?
Their children are ever with them, and their offspring before their eyes.
