job 13:1

  Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.

job 13:2

  What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.

job 13:3

  Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

job 13:4

  But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

job 13:5

  O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.

job 13:6

  Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

job 13:7

  Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?

job 13:8

  Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?

job 13:9

  Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?

job 13:10

  He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.

job 13:11

  Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?

job 13:12

  Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

job 13:13

  Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

job 13:14

  Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

job 13:15

  Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

job 13:16

  He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

job 13:17

  Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.

job 13:18

  Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

job 13:19

  Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.

job 13:20

  Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.

job 13:21

  Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.

job 13:22

  Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.

job 13:23

  How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.

job 13:24

  Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?

job 13:25

  Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?

job 13:26

  For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.

job 13:27

  Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.

job 13:28

  And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
