|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
"Behold, my eye has seen all _this_; My ear has heard and understood it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
What you know I also know; I have not fallen _short_ of you.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
"But I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to argue with God.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 4
|
||
|
|
But you cover me with lies; You are all worthless physicians.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
O that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom!
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
Please hear my argument And give heed to the contentions of my lips.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
Will you speak what is unrighteous for God, And speak what is deceitful for Him?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for God?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Will it be well when He examines you? Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
He will surely reprove you If you secretly show partiality.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Will not His exaltedness terrify you, And the dread of Him fall on you?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes; Your defenses are defenses of clay.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
"Be silent before me so that I may speak; Then let come on me what may.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
Why should I take my flesh in my teeth And put my life in my hands?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
This also will be my salvation, For a godless man may not come before His presence.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
Listen carefully to my words, And let my declaration _fill_ your ears.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
Behold now, I have arranged my _case for_ justice; I know that I will be declared righteous.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
Who will contend with me? For now I am silent and will breathe my last.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
"Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
Move Your hand far from me, And let not the dread of You terrify me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, then respond to me.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my transgression and my sin.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
Why do You hide Your face And think of me as Your enemy?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 25
|
||
|
|
Will You cause a driven leaf to tremble? Or will You pursue the dry chaff?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 26
|
||
|
|
For You write bitter things against me And make me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 27
|
||
|
|
You put my feet in the stocks And kept watch over all my paths; You set a limit for the soles of my feet,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 28
|
||
|
|
While I am decaying like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
