There is no darkness, nor shadow of death, where the workers of iniquity may hide themselves.
23 for not upon man to set: consider still to/for to go: went to(wards) God in/on/with justice: judgement

When he giveth quietness, who then can make trouble? and when he hideth his face, who then can behold him? whether it be done against a nation, or against a man only:
30 from to reign man profane from snare people
That the hypocrite reign not, lest the people be ensnared.
31 for to(wards) God to say to lift: bear not to destroy
Surely it is meet to be said unto El, I have borne chastisement, I will not offend any more:
32 beside to see you(m. s.) to show me if injustice to work not to add: again
That which I see not teach thou me: if I have done iniquity, I will do no more.

Job hath spoken without knowledge, and his words were without wisdom.
36 oh that! to test Job till perpetuity upon turn in/on/with human evil: wickedness
My desire is that Job may be tried unto the end because of his answers for wicked men.
37 for to add upon sin his transgression between us to slap and to multiply word his to/for God
For he addeth rebellion unto his sin, he clappeth his hands among us, and multiplieth his words against El.
