1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.studyinterlinear
2What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.studyinterlinear
3Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.studyinterlinear
4But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.studyinterlinear
5O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.studyinterlinear
6Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.studyinterlinear
7Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?studyinterlinear
8Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?studyinterlinear
9Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?studyinterlinear
10He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.studyinterlinear
11Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?studyinterlinear
12Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.studyinterlinear
13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.studyinterlinear
14Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?studyinterlinear
15Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.studyinterlinear
16He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.studyinterlinear
17Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.studyinterlinear
18Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.studyinterlinear
19Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.studyinterlinear
20Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.studyinterlinear
21Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.studyinterlinear
22Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.studyinterlinear
23How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.studyinterlinear
24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?studyinterlinear
25Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?studyinterlinear
26For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.studyinterlinear
27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.studyinterlinear
28And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.studyinterlinear
