131Lo, mine eye hath seen all [this], mine ear hath heard and understood it.+2What ye know, I know also: I am not inferior to you.+3But I will speak to the Almighty, and will find pleasure in reasoning withGod;+4For ye indeed are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.+5Oh that ye would be altogether silent! and it would be your wisdom.+6Hear now my defence, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.+7Will ye speak unrighteously forGod? and for him speak deceit?+8Will ye accept his person? will ye contend forGod?+9Will it be well if he should search you out? or as one mocketh at a man, will ye mock at him?+10He will certainly reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.+11Shall not his excellency terrify you? and his dread fall upon you?+12Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, your bulwarks are bulwarks of mire.+13Hold your peace from me, and I will 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, if he slay me, yet would I trust in him; but I will defend mine own ways before him.+16This also shall be my salvation, that a profane man shall not come before his face.+17Hear attentively my speech and my declaration with your ears.+18Behold now, I have ordered the cause; I know that I shall be justified.+19Who is he that contendeth with me? For if I were silent now, I should expire.+20Only do not two things unto me; then will I not hide myself from thee.+21Withdraw thy hand far from me; and let not thy terror make me afraid:+22Then call, and I will answer; or I will speak, and answer thou me.+23How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.+24Wherefore dost thou hide thy face, and countest me for thine enemy?+25Wilt thou terrify a driven leaf? and wilt thou pursue dry stubble?+26For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth;+27And thou puttest my feet in the stocks, and markest all my paths; thou settest a bound about the soles of my feet; —+28One who, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that the moth eateth.+
