JOB SPEAKS |
|
1 |
|
Lo, my eye has seen all this, |
|
|
|
my ear has heard and understood it. |
|
2 |
|
What you know, I know also; I do not fall short of you. |
|
3 |
|
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case before God. |
|
4 |
|
But you are imputers of lies; you are all worthless healers. |
|
5 |
|
Oh that you would stop speaking entirely! And it would be your wisdom. |
|
6 |
|
Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips. |
|
7 |
|
Would you speak unrighteously for God, and talk deceitfully for Him? |
|
8 |
|
Will you lift up His person, or contend for God? |
|
9 |
|
Is it good that He should search you out? |
|
9 |
|
Or as one man mocks another, do you mock Him? |
|
10 |
|
He will surely blame you, if you secretly lift up persons. |
|
11 |
|
Shall not His highness make you afraid, and His dread fall on you? |
|
12 |
|
Your remembered sayings are like ashes, |
|
12 |
|
your bodies like bodies of clay. |
|
13 |
|
Be quiet. Let me alone so that I may speak, and let come on me what may. |
|
14 |
|
Why do I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in my hand? |
|
15 |
|
Though he slay me, I will not wait, but I will maintain my own ways before Him. |
|
16 |
|
He also is my salvation, for an ungodly one shall not come before Him. |
|
17 |
|
Listen carefully to my words, and let what I say be in your ears. |
|
18 |
|
Behold now, I have set my cause in order; |
|
|
|
I know that I shall be justified. |
|
19 |
|
Who is he that will plead for me, |
|
19 |
|
for now, I would be quiet and expire. |
|
20 |
|
Only do not do two things to me; then I will not hide myself from You. |
|
21 |
|
Withdraw Your hand far from me, and let not Your fear make me afraid. |
|
22 |
|
Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer You me. |
|
23 |
|
How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known my transgressions and my sin. |
|
24 |
|
Why do You hide Your face, and hold me for Your enemy? |
|
25 |
|
Will You terrify a leaf driven to and fro? Will You pursue the dry stubble? |
|
26 |
|
For You write bitter things against me, and make me to possess the sins of my youth. |
|
27 |
|
You put my feet also in the stocks, and look closely to all my paths; |
|
|
|
You set a limit for the soles of my feet. |
|
28 |
|
And he wears out like a rotten thing, |
|
|
|
like a garment that a moth eats. |
