# Chapter 13
|
|
1. "Behold, my eye has seen all this,
|
|
My ear has heard and understood it.
|
|
|
|
2. What you know, I also know;
|
|
I am not inferior to you.
|
|
|
|
3. But I would speak to the Almighty,
|
|
And I desire to reason with God.
|
|
|
|
4. But you forgers of lies,
|
|
You are all worthless physicians.
|
|
|
|
5. Oh, that you would be silent,
|
|
And it would be your wisdom!
|
|
|
|
6. Now hear my reasoning,
|
|
And heed the pleadings of my lips.
|
|
|
|
7. Will you speak wickedly for God,
|
|
And talk deceitfully for Him?
|
|
|
|
8. Will you show partiality for Him?
|
|
Will you contend for God?
|
|
|
|
9. Will it be well when He searches you out?
|
|
Or can you mock Him as one mocks a man?
|
|
|
|
10. He will surely rebuke you
|
|
If you secretly show partiality.
|
|
|
|
11. Will not His excellence make you afraid,
|
|
And the dread of Him fall upon you?
|
|
|
|
12. Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes,
|
|
Your defenses are defenses of clay.
|
|
|
|
13. "Hold your peace with me, and let me speak,
|
|
Then let come on me what may!
|
|
|
|
14. Why do I take my flesh in my teeth,
|
|
And put my life in my hands?
|
|
|
|
15. Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him.
|
|
Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.
|
|
|
|
16. He also shall be my salvation,
|
|
For a hypocrite could not come before Him.
|
|
|
|
17. Listen carefully to my speech,
|
|
And to my declaration with your ears.
|
|
|
|
18. See now, I have prepared my case,
|
|
I know that I shall be vindicated.
|
|
|
|
19. Who is he who will contend with me?
|
|
If now I hold my tongue, I perish.Job's Despondent Prayer
|
|
|
|
20. "Only two things do not do to me,
|
|
Then I will not hide myself from You:
|
|
|
|
21. Withdraw Your hand far from me,
|
|
And let not the dread of You make me afraid.
|
|
|
|
22. Then call, and I will answer;
|
|
Or let me speak, then You respond to me.
|
|
|
|
23. How many are my iniquities and sins?
|
|
Make me know my transgression and my sin.
|
|
|
|
24. Why do You hide Your face,
|
|
And regard me as Your enemy?
|
|
|
|
25. Will You frighten a leaf driven to and fro?
|
|
And will You pursue dry stubble?
|
|
|
|
26. For You write bitter things against me,
|
|
And make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
|
|
|
|
27. You put my feet in the stocks,
|
|
And watch closely all my paths.
|
|
You set a limit for the soles of my feet.
|
|
|
|
28. "Man decays like a rotten thing,
|
|
Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
