"Behold, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it. |
2
|
What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you. |
3
|
But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God. |
4
|
As for you, you whitewash with lies; worthless physicians are you all. |
5
|
Oh that you would keep silent, and it would be your wisdom! |
6
|
Hear now my argument and listen to the pleadings of my lips. |
7
|
Will you speak falsely for God and speak deceitfully for him? |
8
|
Will you show partiality toward him? Will you plead the case for God? |
9
|
Will it be well with you when he searches you out? Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man? |
10
|
He will surely rebuke you if in secret you show partiality. |
11
|
Will not his majesty terrify you, and the dread of him fall upon you? |
12
|
Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay. |
13
|
"Let me have silence, and I will speak, and let come on me what may. |
14
|
Why should I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in my hand? |
15
|
Though he slay me, I will hope in him; yet I will argue my ways to his face. |

|
This will be my salvation, that the godless shall not come before him. |
17
|
Keep listening to my words, and let my declaration be in your ears. |
18
|
Behold, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be in the right. |
19
|
Who is there who will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die. |
20
|
Only grant me two things, then I will not hide myself from your face: |
21
|
withdraw your hand far from me, and let not dread of you terrify me. |
22
|
Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and you reply to me. |
23
|
How many are my iniquities and my sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin. |
24
|
Why do you hide your face and count me as your enemy? |
25
|
Will you frighten a driven leaf and pursue dry chaff? |
26
|
For you write bitter things against me and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth. |
27
|
You put my feet in the stocks and watch all my paths; you set a limit for the soles of my feet. |
28
|
Man wastes away like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten. |
