Job 13
American Standard Version
1Lo, mine eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 all this, Mine earH241 hath heardH8085 and understoodH995 it.2What ye knowH3045, the same do I knowH3045 alsoH1571: I am not inferior unto you.3Surely I would speakH1696 to the AlmightyH7706, And I desireH2654 to reason with GodH410.4But ye are forgers of liesH8267; Ye are all physiciansH7495 of no value.5Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would beH1961 your wisdomH2451.6HearH8085 now my reasoning, And hearken to the pleadings of my lipsH8193.7Will ye speakH1696 unrighteously for GodH410, And talk deceitfully for him?8Will ye show partiality to him? Will ye contendH7378 for GodH410?9Is it goodH2896 that he should searchH2713 you out? Or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him?10He will surely reproveH3198 you, If ye do secretly show partiality.11Shall not his majestyH7613 make you afraid, And his dreadH6343 fallH5307 upon you?12Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashesH665, Your defences are defences of clay.13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speakH1696; And let come on me what will.14Wherefore should I takeH5375 my fleshH1320 in my teethH8127, And putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my handH3709?15Behold, he will slay me; I have no hopeH3176: NeverthelessH389 I will maintain my waysH1870 before him.16This alsoH1571 shall be my salvationH3444, That a godlessH2611 man shall not comeH935 before him.17HearH8085 diligently my speechH4405, And let my declaration be in your earsH241.18Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I knowH3045 that I am righteousH6663.19Who is he that will contendH7378 with me? For then would I hold my peace and give up the ghost.20OnlyH389 do not twoH8147 things unto me; ThenH227 will I not hideH5641 myself from thy faceH6440:21Withdraw thy handH3709 farH7368 from me; And let not thy terrorH367 make me afraid.22Then callH7121 thou, and I will answerH6030; Or let me speakH1696, and answerH6030 thou me.23HowH4100 many are mine iniquitiesH5771 and sinsH2403? MakeH3045 me to knowH3045 my transgressionH6588 and my sinH2403.24Wherefore hidest thou thy faceH6440, And holdest me for thine enemyH341?25Wilt thou harass a drivenH5086 leafH5929? And wilt thou pursueH7291 the dryH3002 stubbleH7179?26For thou writest bitterH4846 things against me, And makest me to inheritH3423 the iniquitiesH5771 of my youthH5271:27Thou puttest my feetH7272 also in the stocksH5465, And markest all my pathsH734; Thou settest a bound to the soles of my feetH7272:28Though I am like a rotten thing that consumeth, Like a garmentH899 that is moth-eaten.
