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