ABP - Job - 13

13:1  Behold, [4these things 3has seen 1my 2eye], and [2has heard 1my ear].

13:2  And I know as much as even you know; and [2not 3more senseless 1I am] than you.

13:3  But nevertheless, I [2to 3the lord 1will speak]; and I will reprove before him, if he should be willing.

13:4  But you are [2physicians 1unjust], and [3healers 2bad 1are all].

13:5  But it may be good for you to be silent, and it shall turn out to you for wisdom.

13:6  Hear the reproof of my mouth; [3the judgment 1and 4of my lips 2heed]!

13:7  Is it not against the lord you speak, and before him you utter a sound of deceit?

13:8  Or will you keep back? But you yourselves [2judges 1become]!

13:9  Is it good if he should track you; for as if [2all things 1the ones doing] shall you be added to him;

13:10  in not one thing less shall he reprove you; but if also [2secretly 4at persons 1you shall 3wonder].

13:11  Is it not in his awfulness that he shall whirl you, and fear of him shall fall upon you?

13:12  [4shall turn out 1But 2your 3prancing] equal to ashes, and the body to clay.

13:13  Be silent, that I shall speak, and rest my rage!

13:14  Taking my flesh in my teeth, [4life 1even 3my 2I shall put] in my hand.

13:15  Though [4me 3should lay hands against 1the 2mighty one], since even he begins, in fact I shall speak and reprove before him.

13:16  And this [4to me 1shall result 2in 3deliverance]; [4not 1for 6before 7him 2treachery 3shall 5enter].

13:17  Hear, hear my words! for I will announce in your hearing.

13:18  Behold, I am near my judgment; I know that [2just 1I shall appear].

13:19  For who is the one passing judgment to me, that now I shall be silent and shall cease?

13:20  But two things you shall furnish to me, then from your presence I will not hide.

13:21  Let your hand [2from 3me 1be at a distance]! and [3in the 4fear 5of you 1let me not 2be struck with terror]!

13:22  Then you shall call, and I will hearken to you; or you shall speak, and I will give you an answer.

13:23  How many are my sins, and my lawless deeds? Teach me what they are!

13:24  Why [2from 3me 1do you hide]; and esteem me contrary to you?

13:25  Or as a leaf moving by the wind, will you be cautious of me? or as grass borne by the wind, will you be adverse to me?

13:26  For you wrote down against me bad things, and you invested to me youthful sin.

13:27  And you put my foot under restraint; and you watched all my works; and into the roots of my feet you attained.

13:28  I am the one turning old equal to a leather bag, or as [2garment 1a moth-eaten].
