Job 13:1-19

1Lo, mine eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 all this, mine earH241 hath heardH8085 and understoodH995 it.

2What ye knowH1847, the same do I knowH3045 also: I am not inferiorH5307 unto you.

3SurelyH199 I would speakH1696 to the AlmightyH7706, and I desireH2654 to reasonH3198 with GodH410.

4ButH199 ye are forgersH2950 of liesH8267, ye are all physiciansH7495 of no valueH457.

5O thatH5414 ye would altogetherH2790 hold your peaceH2790! and it should be your wisdomH2451.

6HearH8085 now my reasoningH8433, and hearkenH7181 to the pleadingsH7379 of my lipsH8193.

7Will ye speakH1696 wickedlyH5766 for GodH410? and talkH1696 deceitfullyH7423 for him?

8Will ye acceptH5375 his personH6440? will ye contendH7378 for GodH410?

9Is it goodH2895 that he should search you outH2713? or as one manH582 mockethH2048 another, do ye so mockH2048 him?

10He will surelyH3198 reproveH3198 you, if ye do secretlyH5643 acceptH5375 personsH6440.

11Shall not his excellencyH7613 make you afraidH1204? and his dreadH6343 fallH5307 upon you?

12Your remembrancesH2146 are likeH4912 unto ashesH665, your bodiesH1354 to bodiesH1354 of clayH2563.

13Hold your peaceH2790, let me alone, that I may speakH1696, and let comeH5674 on me what will.1

14Wherefore do I takeH5375 my fleshH1320 in my teethH8127, and putH7760 my lifeH5315 in mine handH3709?

15ThoughH2005 he slayH6991 me, yet will I trustH3176 in him: but I will maintainH3198 mine own waysH1870 beforeH6440 him.2

16He also shall be my salvationH3444: for an hypocriteH2611 shall not comeH935 beforeH6440 him.

17HearH8085 diligentlyH8085 my speechH4405, and my declarationH262 with your earsH241.

18Behold now, I have orderedH6186 my causeH4941; I knowH3045 that I shall be justifiedH6663.

19Who is he that will pleadH7378 with me? for now, if I hold my tongueH2790, I shall give up the ghostH1478.
