Job 13 See, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it.

AKJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ See, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it. ² What you know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior to you. ³ Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God. ⁴ But you are forgers of lies, you are all physicians of no value. ⁵ O that you would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom. ⁶ Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips. ⁷ Will you speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him? ⁸ Will you accept his person? will you contend for God? ⁹ Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocks another, do you so mock him? ¹⁰ He will surely reprove you, if you do secretly accept persons. ¹¹ Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall on you? ¹² Your remembrances are like to ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay. ¹³ Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will. ¹⁴ Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand? ¹⁵ Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain my own ways before him. ¹⁶ He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him. ¹⁷ Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears. ¹⁸ Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified. ¹⁹ Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost. ²⁰ Only do not two things to me: then will I not hide myself from you. ²¹ Withdraw your hand far from me: and let not your dread make me afraid. ²² Then call you, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer you me. ²³ How many are my iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin. ²⁴ Why hide you your face, and hold me for your enemy? ²⁵ Will you break a leaf driven to and fro? and will you pursue the dry stubble? ²⁶ For you write bitter things against me, and make me to possess the iniquities of my youth. ²⁷ You put my feet also in the stocks, and look narrowly to all my paths; you set a print on the heels of my feet. ²⁸ And he, as a rotten thing, consumes, as a garment that is moth eaten.
