| 1 | Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, Mine ear hath heard and understood it. |
| 2 | What ye know, do I know also; I am not inferior unto you. |
| 3 | Notwithstanding I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God. |
| 4 | But ye are plasterers 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 Him favour? Will ye contend for God? |
| 9 | Would it be good that He should search you out? Or as one mocketh a man, will ye mock Him? |
| 10 | He will surely reprove you, If ye do secretly show favour. |
| 11 | Shall not His majesty terrify you, And His dread fall upon you? |
| 12 | Your memorials shall be like unto ashes, Your eminences to eminences of clay. |
| 13 | Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, And let come on me what will. |
| 14 | Wherefore? I will take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hand. |
| 15 | Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; But I will argue my ways before Him. |
| 16 | This also shall be my salvation, That a hypocrite cannot come before Him. |
| 17 | Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your ears. |
| 18 | Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified. |
| 19 | Who is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and die. |
| 20 | Only do not two things unto me, Then will I not hide myself from Thee: |
| 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 | That Thou shouldest write bitter things against me, And make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth. |
| 27 | Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, And lookest narrowly unto all my paths; Thou drawest Thee a line about the soles of my feet; |
| 28 | Though I am like a wine-skin that consumeth, Like a garment that is moth-eaten. |
