UKJV - Job - 13

13:1  Lo, mine eye has seen all this, mine ear has heard and understood it.

13:2  What all of you know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.

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

13:4  But all of you are forgers of lies, all of you are all physicians of no value.

13:5  O that all of you would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.

13:6  Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

13:7  Will all of you speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?

13:8  Will all of you accept his person? will all of you contend for God?

13:9  Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocks another, do all of you so mock him?

13:10  He will surely reprove you, if all of you do secretly accept persons.

13:11  Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?

13:12  Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

13:13  Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

13:14  Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

13:15  Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.

13:16  He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

13:17  Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.

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

13:19  Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the spirit.

13:20  Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from you.

13:21  Withdraw your hand far from me: and let not your dread make me afraid.

13:22  Then call you, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer you me.

13:23  How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.

13:24  Wherefore hide you your face, and hold me for your enemy?

13:25  Will you break a leaf driven back and forth? and will you pursue the dry stubble?

13:26  For you write bitter things against me, and make me to possess the iniquities of my youth.

13:27  You put my feet also in the stocks, and look narrowly unto all my paths; you set a print upon the heels of my feet.

13:28  And he, as a rotten thing, consumes, as a garment that is moth eaten.
