Psalm 119:2 aramaic bible in plain english version

The Hebrew Bible's third book, Job, contains a famous chapter often referred to as 'Job's lament.' In this emotional passage (found in Chapter 19), the titular character Job expresses his deep pain and frustration after suffering seemingly senseless trials.

Here is an excerpt from that powerful text:

'O earth, do not cover up my blood!

And let your solid ground no longer lay a covering over my cry!

But as for you, O men, by all means,

Scream out to God on my account.

Let the heavens above and you who are upon the earth hear

Whether there is an arbiter 'judge' beyond us,

Who can bring order in those things that have been done wrong.

'O people, I urge you, listen carefully to this;

Give ear to what I will say:

The mouth of the Lord has spoken—

What kind of God is there like You?

To forgive and not hold a grudge;

Or to stay angry forever?

But at last He wills it so.

Then, as for you, O people, fear Him,

And let all that surrounds you tremble before him.

'Who then can speak well of Your acts

Of things beyond human understanding?

To whom else could I make this known

Or who would listen to my words?

O that a man might give ear and understand with his heart!

You people, get wisdom for yourselves;

And do not let the one become foolish among you.

Blessed is the person who meditates on your sayings,

Who day and night keeps them in view.

But as for me—how I yearn to reach out

For Your eternal truths!' (Job 31:16-35, NIV)

In this moving passage from Job's lament, we see a deep sense of anguish and despair expressed by the main character as he grapples with seemingly unexplainable suffering. Despite his pain, however, Job maintains hope that God will ultimately bring order to these events.

The text also contains several powerful themes related to faith, trust in an all-powerful Creator, and the importance of maintaining a close relationship with Him even during times of trial and tribulation.
