Job 13

1Lo, mine eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 all [this], mine earH241 hath heardH8085 and understoodH995 it. 2What ye knowH3045, I knowH3045 alsoH1571: I am not inferior to you. 3But I will speakH1696 to the AlmightyH7706, and will find pleasureH2654 in reasoning with 1GodH410; 4For ye indeed are forgers of liesH8267, ye are all physiciansH7495 of no value. 5Oh that ye would beH1961 altogether silentH2790! and it would beH1961 your wisdomH2451. 6HearH8085 now my defence, and hearken to the pleadings of my lipsH8193. 7Will ye speakH1696 unrighteously for 2GodH410? and for him speakH1696 deceitH7423? 8Will ye accept his person? will ye contendH7378 for 3GodH410? 9Will it be well if he should searchH2713 you out? or as one mocketh at a man, will ye mock at him? 10He will certainly reproveH3198 you, if ye do secretly accept persons. 11Shall not his excellency terrifyH1204 you? and his dreadH6343 fallH5307 upon you? 12Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashesH665, your bulwarks are bulwarks of mire. 13Hold your peace from me, and I will 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, if he slay me, yet would I trust in him; but I will defend mine own waysH1870 before him. 16This alsoH1571 shall be my salvationH3444, that a profane man shall not comeH935 before his faceH6440. 17HearH8085 attentively my speechH4405 and my declaration with your earsH241. 18Behold now, I have ordered the cause; I knowH3045 that I shall be justifiedH6663. 19Who is he that contendeth with me? For if I were silentH2790 nowH6258, I should expireH1478. 20OnlyH389 do not twoH8147 things unto me; thenH227 will I not hideH5641 myself from thee. 21Withdraw thy handH3709 farH7368 from me; and let not thy terrorH367 make me afraid: 22Then callH7121, and I will answerH6030; or I will speakH1696, and answerH6030 thou me. 23HowH4100 many are mine iniquitiesH5771 and sinsH2403? MakeH3045 me to knowH3045 my transgressionH6588 and my sinH2403. 24Wherefore dost thou hideH5641 thy faceH6440, and countest me for thine enemyH341? 25Wilt thou terrify a drivenH5086 leafH5929? and wilt thou pursueH7291 dryH3002 stubbleH7179? 26For thou writest bitterH4846 things against me, and makest me to possessH3423 the iniquitiesH5771 of my youthH5271; 27And thou puttest my feetH7272 in the stocksH5465, and markest all my pathsH734; thou settest a bound about the soles of my feetH7272; — 28One who, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garmentH899 that the mothH6211 eateth.
