Bible Text (Scroll to Verse) [Copy]
1 Lo, my eye has seen all [this], my ear has heard and understood it.
2 What you know, [the same] do I know also: I [am] not inferior to you.
3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
4 But you [are] forgers of lies, you [are] all physicians of no value.
5 O that you would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
6 Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will you speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will you accept his person? will you contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocks another, do you [so] mock him?
10 He will surely reprove you, if you do secretly accept persons.
11 Will not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
12 Your remembrances [are] like to ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what [will].
14 Why do I 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 maintain my own ways before him.
16 He also [will be] my salvation: for a hypocrite will not come before him.
17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18 Behold now, I have ordered [my] cause; I know that I will be justified.
19 Who [is] he [that] will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I will give up the spirit.
20 Only do not two [things] to me: then will I not hide myself from you.
21 Withdraw your hand far from me: and let not your dread make me afraid.
22 Then call you, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer you me.
23 How many [are] my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24 Why hide you your face, and hold me for your enemy?
25 Will you break a leaf driven to and fro? and will you pursue the dry stubble?
26 For you write bitter things against me, and make me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
27 You put my feet also in the stocks, and look narrowly to all my paths; you set a print upon the heels of my feet.
28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumes, as a garment that is moth eaten.
