< Job 13 >
1 “Indeed, my eyes have seen all this; my ears have heard and understood.
There! all it has seen eye my it has heard ear my and it has understood it.
2 What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.
Like knowledge your I know also I not [am] falling I more than you.
3 Yet I desire to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God.
But I to [the] Almighty I will speak and to argue to God I desire.
4 You, however, smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians.
And but you [are] smearers of falsehood [are] physicians of worthlessness all of you.
5 If only you would remain silent; for that would be your wisdom!
Who? will he give certainly you will be silent! and it may become for you wisdom.
6 Hear now my argument, and listen to the plea of my lips.
Listen to please argument my and [the] contentions of lips my pay attention to.
7 Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?
¿ for God will you speak unrighteousness and for him will you speak? deceit.
8 Would you show Him partiality or argue in His defense?
¿ Face his will you lift up! or? for God will you argue a case!
9 Would it be well when He examined you? Could you deceive Him like a man?
¿ [will it be] good If he will examine you or? as deceives a person will you deceive him.
10 Surely He would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.
Certainly he will rebuke you if in secrecy faces you will lift up!
11 Would His majesty not terrify you? Would the dread of Him not fall upon you?
¿ Not majesty his will it terrify you and dread his will it fall? on you.
12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.
Memorials your [are] proverbs of ash[es] [are] defenses of clay defenses your.
13 Be silent, and I will speak. Then let come to me what may.
Be silent from me so let me speak I and let it pass on me whatever.
14 Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?
Concerning what? - will I take flesh my in teeth my and life my will I put? in palm my.
15 Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways to His face.
There! he will kill me (to him *Q(K)*) I will hope nevertheless ways my to face his I will argue.
16 Moreover, this will be my salvation, for no godless man can appear before Him.
Also that of me [will be] for deliverance for not before him a godless [person] he will come.
17 Listen carefully to my words; let my declaration ring in your ears.
Listen completely [to] speech my and declaration my [be] in ears your.
18 Behold, now that I have prepared my case, I know that I will be vindicated.
Here! please I have arranged a case I know that I I am in [the] right.
19 Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.
Who? that will he conduct a case with me if now I will keep silent and I may expire.
20 Only grant these two things to me, so that I need not hide from You:
Only two [things] may not you do with me then from before you not I will hide myself.
21 Withdraw Your hand from me, and do not let Your terror frighten me.
Hand your from on me put far away and dread your may not it terrify me.
22 Then call me, and I will answer, or let me speak, and You can reply.
And call and I I will answer or let me speak and respond to me.
23 How many are my iniquities and sins? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.
How many? of me [are] iniquities and sins transgression my and sin my make known to me.
24 Why do You hide Your face and consider me as Your enemy?
Why? face your do you hide and do you consider? me to an enemy of you.
25 Would You frighten a windblown leaf? Would You chase after dry chaff?
¿ A leaf driven about will you terrify and chaff dry will you pursue?
26 For You record bitter accusations against me and bequeath to me the iniquities of my youth.
For you write on me bitter things and you cause to inherit me [the] iniquities of youth my.
27 You put my feet in the stocks and stand watch over all my paths; You set a limit for the soles of my feet.
And you put in the stock[s] - feet my so you may watch all paths my on [the] roots of feet my you make a mark.
28 So man wastes away like something rotten, like a moth-eaten garment.
And he like rottenness he wears out like a garment [which] it eats it a moth.
