- "Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it.
- What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.
- But I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.
- But you forgers of lies, You are all worthless physicians.
- Oh, that you would be silent, And it would be your wisdom!
- Now hear my reasoning, And heed the pleadings of my lips.
- Will you speak wickedly for God, And talk deceitfully for Him?
- Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for God?
- Will it be well when He searches you out? Or can you mock Him as one mocks a man?
- He will surely rebuke you If you secretly show partiality.
- Will not His excellence make you afraid, And the dread of Him fall upon you?
- Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.
- "Hold your peace with me, and let me speak, Then let come on me what may!
- Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hands?
- Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.
- He also shall be my salvation, For a hypocrite could not come before Him.
- Listen carefully to my speech, And to my declaration with your ears.
- See now, I have prepared my case, I know that I shall be vindicated.
- Who is he who will contend with me? If now I hold my tongue, I perish.
- "Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide myself from You:
- Withdraw Your hand far from me, And let not the dread of You make me afraid.
- Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then You respond to me.
- How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.
- Why do You hide Your face, And regard me as Your enemy?
- Will You frighten a leaf driven to and fro? And will You pursue dry stubble?
- For You write bitter things against me, And make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
- You put my feet in the stocks, And watch closely all my paths. You set a limit[1] for the soles of my feet.
- "Man[2] decays like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
