13:1
Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
13:2
What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
13:3
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
13:4
But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
13:5
O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
13:6
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
13:7
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
13:8
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
13:9
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
13:10
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
13:11
Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
13:12
Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
13:13
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
13:14
Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
13:15
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
13:16
He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
13:17
Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
13:18
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
13:19
Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
13:20
Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
13:21
Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
13:22
Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
13:23
How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
13:24
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
13:25
Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
13:26
For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
13:27
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
13:28
And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
