Revised Version 1895
Job 13:1-19
1LoH2005, mine eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 allH3605 this, mine earH241 hath heardH8085 and understoodH995 it.
2WhatH1571 ye knowH3045, the sameH4480 doH589 I knowH3045 also: I am notH3808 inferiorH5307 unto youH3045.
3SurelyH3198 I would speakH1696 to the AlmightyH7706, and I desireH2654 to reasonH3198 with GodH410.
4But ye are forgers of liesH8267, ye are allH3605 physiciansH7495 of noH3605 value.
5OhH4310 that ye would altogether holdH5414 your peace! and it should be your wisdomH2451.
6HearH8085 nowH4994 my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lipsH8193.
7Will ye speakH1696 unrighteously for GodH410, and talkH1696 deceitfullyH7423 for him?
8Will ye respectH6440 his person? will ye contendH7378 for GodH410?
9Is it goodH2896 that he should searchH2713 youH3588 outH2713? or as one deceiveth a manH582, will ye deceive him?
10He will surelyH518 reproveH3198 youH518, ifH518 ye doH518 secretly respectH6440 persons.
11Shall notH3808 his excellency make youH5921 afraidH6343, and his dreadH6343 fallH5307 uponH5921 youH5921?
12Your memorableH2146 sayingsH2146 are proverbs of ashesH665, your defences are defences of clay.
13Hold your peace, let meH5921 aloneH4480, that I may speakH1696, and let come on meH5921 whatH4100 wilt.
14Wherefore should I takeH5375 my fleshH1320 in my teethH8127, and putH7760 my lifeH5315 in mine handH3709?
15ThoughH2005 he slayH6991 meH413, yet will I waitH3176 for him: neverthelessH389 I will maintain my waysH1870 beforeH6440 him.
16This also shall be my salvationH3444; for a godlessH2611 manH2611 shall notH3808 comeH935 beforeH6440 him.
17HearH8085 diligentlyH8085 my speechH4405, and let my declarationH262 be in your earsH241.
18BeholdH2009 nowH4994, I have ordered my causeH4941; I knowH3045 that I am righteousH6663.
19Who is he that will contendH7378 with meH5978? for nowH6258 shall I hold my peace and give up the ghost.
