Job 13

New American Standard Bible 1995

Job Says His Friends’ Proverbs Are Ashes

1“1BeholdH2005, my eyeH5869 has seenH7200 allH3605 this, My earH241 has heardH8085 and understoodH995 it.22WhatH1847 you knowH3045 I alsoH1571 knowH1847; I am not inferiorH5307 to you.

3“But 3I would speakH1696 to 4the AlmightyH7706, And I desireH2654 to 5argueH3198 with GodH410.4But you 6smearH2950 with liesH8267; You are allH3605 7worthlessH457 physiciansH7495.5OH4310 that you would 8be completelyH2790 silentH2790, And that it would becomeH1961 your wisdomH2451!6PleaseH4994 hearH8085 my argumentH8433 And listenH7181 to the contentionsH7379 of my lipsH8193.7Will you 9speakH1696 whatH5767 is unjustH5767 for GodH410, And speakH1696 whatH7423 is deceitfulH7423 for Him?8Will you 10showH5375 partialityH6440H5375 for Him? Will you contendH7378 for GodH410?9Will it be wellH2896 whenH3588 He examinesH2713 you? OrH518 11will you deceiveH8524 Him as one deceivesH8524 a manH582?10He will surelyH3198 reproveH3198 you IfH518 you secretlyH5643 12showH5375 partialityH6440H5375.11Will not 13His 14majestyH7613 terrifyH1204 you, And the dreadH6343 of Him fallH5307 on you?12Your memorableH2146 sayingsH2146 are proverbsH4912 of ashesH665, Your defensesH1354 are defensesH1354 of clayH2563.

Job Is Sure He Will Be Vindicated

13“15Be silentH2790 beforeH4480 me so that I may speakH1696; Then let comeH5674 on me whatH4100 may.14WhyH5921H4100 should I takeH5375 my fleshH1320 in my teethH8127 And 16putH7760 my lifeH5315 in my 17handsH3709?1518ThoughH2005 He slayH6991 me, I will hopeH3176 in Him. NeverthelessH389 I 19will argueH3198 my waysH1870 20beforeH413H6440 Him.16ThisH1931 alsoH1571 will be my 21salvationH3444, For 22a godlessH2611 manH2611 may not comeH935 before His presenceH6440.17ListenH8085 carefullyH8085 to my speechH4405, And let my declarationH262 fill your earsH241.18BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I have 23preparedH6186 my caseH4941; I knowH3045 that 24I will be vindicatedH6663.1925WhoH4310 will contendH7378 with me? For thenH6258 I would be silentH2790 and 26dieH1478.

20“OnlyH389 twoH8147 thingsH8147 do not doH6213 to me, ThenH227 I will not hideH5641 from Your faceH6440:2127RemoveH7368 Your 28handH3709 from me, And let not the dreadH367 of You terrifyH1204 me.22Then callH7121, and 29I will answerH6030; OrH176 let me speakH1696, then replyH7725 to me.2330HowH4100 manyH4100 are my iniquitiesH5771 and sinsH2403? MakeH3045 knownH3045 to me my 31rebellionH6588 and my sinH2403.24WhyH4100 do You 32hideH5641 Your faceH6440 And considerH2803 me 33Your enemyH340?25Will You causeH6206 a 34drivenH5086 leafH5929 to trembleH6206? Or will You pursueH7291 the dryH3002 35chaffH7179?26For You writeH3789 36bitterH4846 thingsH4846 againstH5921 me And 37make me to inheritH3423 the iniquitiesH5771 of my youthH5271.27You 38putH7760 my feetH7272 in the stocksH5465 And watchH8104 allH3605 my pathsH734; You 39setH2707 a limitH2707 for the solesH8328 of my feetH7272,28While 40I am decayingH1086 like a 41rottenH7538 thingH7538, Like a garmentH899 that is moth-eatenH6211H398.
