1[Job continued:] “Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it. What you know I also know; I am not inferior to you. 3“But I wish to speak to the Almighty, And I desire to argue with God. 4But you smear me with lies [you defame my character most untruthfully]; You are all worthless physicians and have no remedy to offer.
