131Lo, mine eye hath seen all [this], Mine ear hath heard and understood it.+2What ye know, [the same] do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.+3Surely I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.+4But ye are forgers of lies; Ye are all physicians of no value.+5Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom.+6Hear now my reasoning, And hearken to the pleadings of my lips.+7Will ye speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for him?+8Will ye show partiality to him? Will ye contend for God?+9Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him?+10He will surely reprove you, If ye do secretly show partiality.+11Shall not his majesty make you afraid, And his dread fall upon you?+12Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defences are defences of clay.+13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak; And let come on me what will.+14Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hand?+15Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope: Nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.+16This also shall be my salvation, That a godless man shall not come before him.+17Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your ears.+18Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I am righteous.+19Who is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and give up the ghost.+20Only do not two things unto me; Then will I not hide myself from thy face:+21Withdraw thy hand far from me; And let not thy terror make me afraid.+22Then call thou, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and answer thou me.+23How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.+24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And holdest me for thine enemy?+25Wilt thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?+26For thou writest bitter things against me, And makest me to inherit the iniquities of my youth:+27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, And markest all my paths; Thou settest a bound to the soles of my feet:+28Though I am like a rotten thing that consumeth, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.+
