1: Lo, mine eye hath seen all `this', Mine ear hath heard and understood it.
2: What ye know, `the same' do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
3: Surely I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.
4: But ye are forgers of lies; Ye are all physicians of no value.
5: Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom.
6: Hear now my reasoning, And hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7: Will ye speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for him?
8: Will ye show partiality to him? Will ye contend for God?
9: Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him?
10: He will surely reprove you If ye do secretly show partiality.
11: Shall not his majesty make you afraid, And his dread fall upon you?
12: Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defences are defences of clay.
13: Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak; And let come on me what will.
14: Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hand?
15: Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope: Nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.
16: This also shall be my salvation, That a godless man shall not come before him.
17: Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your ears.
18: Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I am righteous.
19: Who is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and give up the ghost.
20: Only do not two things unto me; Then will I not hide myself from thy face:
21: Withdraw thy hand far from me; And let not thy terror make me afraid.
22: Then call thou, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and answer thou me.
23: How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24: Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And holdest me for thine enemy?
25: Wilt thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
26: For thou writest bitter things against me, And makest me to inherit the iniquities of my youth:
27: Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, And markest all my paths; Thou settest a bound to the soles of my feet:
28: Though I am like a rotten thing that consumeth, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
