1 - "Behold, my eye has seen all this.My ear has heard and understood it.

2 - What you know, I know also.I am not inferior to you.

3 - "Surely I would speak to the Almighty.I desire to reason with God.

4 - But you are forgers of lies.You are all physicians of no value.

5 - Oh that you would be completely silent!Then you would be wise.

6 - Hear now my reasoning.Listen to the pleadings of my lips.

7 - Will you speak unrighteously for God,and talk deceitfully for him?

8 - Will you show partiality to him?Will you contend for God?

9 - Is it good that he should search you out?Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?

10 - He will surely reprove you,if you secretly show partiality.

11 - Shall not his majesty make you afraid,And his dread fall on you?

12 - Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,Your defenses are defenses of clay.

13 - "Be silent, leave me alone, that I may speak.Let come on me what will.

14 - Why should I take my flesh in my teeth,and put my life in my hand?

15 - Behold, he will kill me.I have no hope.Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.

16 - This also shall be my salvation,that a godless man shall not come before him.

17 - Hear diligently my speech.Let my declaration be in your ears.

18 - See now, I have set my cause in order.I know that I am righteous.

19 - Who is he who will contend with me?For then would I hold my peace and give up the spirit.

20 - "Only don't do two things to me;then I will not hide myself from your face:

21 - withdraw your hand far from me;and don't let your terror make me afraid.

22 - Then call, and I will answer;or let me speak, and you answer me.

23 - How many are my iniquities and sins?Make me know my disobedience and my sin.

24 - Why hide you your face,and hold me for your enemy?

25 - Will you harass a driven leaf?Will you pursue the dry stubble?

26 - For you write bitter things against me,and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth:

27 - You also put my feet in the stocks,and mark all my paths.You set a bound to the soles of my feet,

28 - though I am decaying like a rotten thing,like a garment that is moth-eaten.
