Job Chapter 13
|
|||
|
|
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 Won’t 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 will be my salvation, that a godless man will not come before him.
|
|||
|
|
17 Listen carefully to 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 do you hide your face, and consider me 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.
