Job 13:1: Lo, all &#8212; hath mine eye seen, Heard hath mine ear, and it attendeth to it. Job 13:2: According to your knowledge I have known &#8212; also I. I am not fallen more than you. Job 13:3: Yet I for the Mighty One do speak, And to argue for God I delight. Job 13:4: And yet, ye are forgers of falsehood, Physicians of nought &#8212; all of you, Job 13:5: O that ye would keep perfectly silent, And it would be to you for wisdom. Job 13:6: Hear, I pray you, my argument, And to the pleadings of my lips attend, Job 13:7: For God do ye speak perverseness? And for Him do ye speak deceit? Job 13:8: His face do ye accept, if for God ye strive? Job 13:9: Is it good that He doth search you, If, as one mocketh at a man, ye mock at Him? Job 13:10: He doth surely reprove you, if in secret ye accept faces. Job 13:11: Doth not His excellency terrify you? And His dread fall upon you? Job 13:12: Your remembrances are similes of ashes, For high places of clay your heights. Job 13:13: Keep silent from me, and I speak, And pass over me doth what? Job 13:14: Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put in my hand? Job 13:15: Lo, He doth slay me &#8212; I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue. Job 13:16: Also &#8212; He is to me for salvation, For the profane cometh not before Him. Job 13:17: Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your ears. Job 13:18: Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have known that I am righteous. Job 13:19: Who is he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp. Job 13:20: Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden. Job 13:21: Thy hand put far off from me, And Thy terror let not terrify me. Job 13:22: And call Thou, and I &#8212; I answer, Or &#8212; I speak, and answer Thou me. Job 13:23: How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and my sin let me know. Job 13:24: Why dost Thou hide Thy face? And reckonest me for an enemy to Thee? Job 13:25: A leaf driven away dost Thou terrify? And the dry stubble dost Thou pursue? Job 13:26: For Thou writest against me bitter things, And causest me to possess iniquities of my youth: Job 13:27: And puttest in the stocks my feet, And observest all my paths, On the roots of my feet Thou settest a print, Job 13:28: And he, as a rotten thing, weareth away, As a garment hath a moth consumed him.
