Lo, mine eye <H5869> hath seen <H7200> all [this], mine ear <H0241> hath heard <H8085> and understood <H0995> it.
2
What ye know, <H1847> [the same] do I know <H3045> also: I [am] not inferior <H5307> unto you.
3
Surely <H0199> I would speak <H1696> to the Almighty, <H7706> and I desire <H2654> to reason <H3198> with God. <H0410>
4
But <H0199> ye [are] forgers <H2950> of lies, <H8267> ye [are] all physicians <H7495> of no value. <H0457>
5
O that <H5414> ye would altogether <H2790> hold your peace! <H2790> and it should be your wisdom. <H2451>
6
Hear <H8085> now my reasoning, <H8433> and hearken <H7181> to the pleadings <H7379> of my lips. <H8193>
7
Will ye speak <H1696> wickedly <H5766> for God? <H0410> and talk <H1696> deceitfully <H7423> for him?
8
Will ye accept <H5375> his person? <H6440> will ye contend <H7378> for God? <H0410>
9
Is it good <H2895> that he should search <H2713> you out? or as one man mocketh <H2048> another, <H0582> do ye [so] mock <H2048> him?
10
He will surely <H3198> reprove <H3198> you, if ye do secretly <H5643> accept <H5375> persons. <H6440>
11
Shall not his excellency <H7613> make you afraid? <H1204> and his dread <H6343> fall <H5307> upon you?
12
Your remembrances <H2146> [are] like <H4912> unto ashes, <H0665> your bodies <H1354> to bodies <H1354> of clay. <H2563>
13
Hold your peace, <H2790> let me alone, that I may speak, <H1696> and let come <H5674> on me what [will].
14
Wherefore do I take <H5375> my flesh <H1320> in my teeth, <H8127> and put <H7760> my life <H5315> in mine hand? <H3709>
15
Though <H2005> he slay <H6991> me, yet will I trust <H3176> in him: but I will maintain <H3198> mine own ways <H1870> before <H6440> him.
16
He also [shall be] my salvation: <H3444> for an hypocrite <H2611> shall not come <H0935> before <H6440> him.
17
Hear <H8085> diligently <H8085> my speech, <H4405> and my declaration <H0262> with your ears. <H0241>
18
Behold now, I have ordered <H6186> [my] cause; <H4941> I know <H3045> that I shall be justified. <H6663>
19
Who [is] he [that] will plead <H7378> with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, <H2790> I shall give up the ghost. <H1478>
20
Only do <H6213> not two <H8147> [things] unto me: then will I not hide <H5641> myself from thee. <H6440>
21
Withdraw thine hand <H3709> far <H7368> from me: and let not thy dread <H0367> make me afraid. <H1204>
22
Then call <H7121> thou, and I will answer: <H6030> or let me speak, <H1696> and answer <H7725> thou me.
23
How many [are] mine iniquities <H5771> and sins? <H2403> make me to know <H3045> my transgression <H6588> and my sin. <H2403>
24
Wherefore hidest <H5641> thou thy face, <H6440> and holdest <H2803> me for thine enemy? <H0341>
25
Wilt thou break <H6206> a leaf <H5929> driven to and fro? <H5086> and wilt thou pursue <H7291> the dry <H3002> stubble? <H7179>
26
For thou writest <H3789> bitter things <H4846> against me, and makest me to possess <H3423> the iniquities <H5771> of my youth. <H5271>
27
Thou puttest <H7760> my feet <H7272> also in the stocks, <H5465> and lookest narrowly <H8104> unto all my paths; <H0734> thou settest a print <H2707> upon the heels <H8328> of my feet. <H7272>
28
And he, as a rotten thing, <H7538> consumeth, <H1086> as a garment <H0899> that is moth <H6211> eaten. <H0398>
