Job's Third Speech: A Response To Bildad

²⁷
“If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,
I will leave off my sad appearance, and be cheerful and brighten up,’

I am afraid of all my pains and worries [yet to come];
I know that You will not acquit me and leave me unpunished.

Why then should I labor in vain [to appear innocent]?
