LITV - Job - 13

13:1  Behold, my eye has seen all this; my ear has heard and understood it.

13:2  As you know, I also know; I do not fall short of you.

13:3  Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue with God.

13:4  But you are imputers of lies; you are all worthless healers.

13:5  Oh that you would stop speaking entirely; and it would be your wisdom!

13:6  Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the arguments of my lips.

13:7  Would you speak unrighteously for God and speak deceitfully for Him?

13:8  Will you lift up His face, or will you contend for God?

13:9  Or as one man mocks another, do you mock Him? Is it good that He should search you out?

13:10  He will surely reprove you if you secretly lift up faces.

13:11  Shall not His highness make you afraid, and His dread fall on you?

13:12  Your remembered sayings are like ashes; surely your backs are backs of clay.

13:13  Be silent from me, that I may speak; and let what will pass over me.

13:14  Why do I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in my hand?

13:15  Behold, He will cut me off; I will not wait, but I will justify my ways before His face.

13:16  He also is my salvation, for an ungodly one shall not come before Him.

13:17  Listen carefully to my words, and let what I say be in your ears;

13:18  Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I shall be justified.

13:19  Who is he who will strive with me? For then I would be quiet and die.

13:20  Only two things do not do to me, O God ; then I will not hide myself from Your face:

13:21  Remove Your palm from me, and let not Your terror make me afraid.

13:22  Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and reply to me.

13:23  How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my transgressions and my sin.

13:24  Why do You hide Your face and count me for Your enemy?

13:25  Will You terrify a leaf driven to and fro? Will you pursue the dry stubble?

13:26  For You write bitter things against me and make me inherit the sins of my youth.

13:27  You also put my feet in the stocks, and watch all my paths; You set a limit on the soles of my feet.

13:28  And he wears out like a rotten thing, like a garment which a moth eats.
