131Lo, all--hath mine eye seen, Heard hath mine ear, and it attendeth to it.+2According to your knowledge I have known--also I. I am not fallen more than you.+3Yet I for the Mighty One do speak, And to argue for God I delight.+4And yet, ye are forgers of falsehood, Physicians of nought--all of you,+5O that ye would keep perfectly silent, And it would be to you for wisdom.+6Hear, I pray you, my argument, And to the pleadings of my lips attend,+7For God do ye speak perverseness? And for Him do ye speak deceit?+8His face do ye accept, if for God ye strive?+9Is it good that He doth search you, If, as one mocketh at a man, ye mock at Him?+10He doth surely reprove you, if in secret ye accept faces.+11Doth not His excellency terrify you? And His dread fall upon you?+12Your remembrances are similes of ashes, For high places of clay your heights.+13Keep silent from me, and I speak, And pass over me doth what?+14Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put in my hand?+15Lo, He doth slay me--I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue.+16Also--He is to me for salvation, For the profane cometh not before Him.+17Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your ears.+18Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have known that I am righteous.+19Who is he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp.+20Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden.+21Thy hand put far off from me, And Thy terror let not terrify me.+22And call Thou, and I--I answer, Or--I speak, and answer Thou me.+23How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and my sin let me know.+24Why dost Thou hide Thy face? And reckonest me for an enemy to Thee?+25A leaf driven away dost Thou terrify? And the dry stubble dost Thou pursue?+26For Thou writest against me bitter things, And causest me to possess iniquities of my youth:+27And puttest in the stocks my feet, And observest all my paths, On the roots of my feet Thou settest a print,+28And he, as a rotten thing, weareth away, As a garment hath a moth consumed him.+
