< Job 13 >

1 There! all it has seen eye my it has heard ear my and it has understood it.
Behold, mine eye has seen these things, and mine ear has heard [them].
2 Like knowledge your I know also I not [am] falling I more than you.
And I know all that you too know; and I have not less understanding than you.
3 But I to [the] Almighty I will speak and to argue to God I desire.
Nevertheless I will speak to the Lord, and I will reason before him, if he will.
4 And but you [are] smearers of falsehood [are] physicians of worthlessness all of you.
But you are all bad physicians, and healers of diseases.
5 Who? will he give certainly you will be silent! and it may become for you wisdom.
But would that you were silent, and it would be wisdom to you in the end.
6 Listen to please argument my and [the] contentions of lips my pay attention to.
But hear you the reasoning of my mouth, and attend to the judgment of my lips.
7 ¿ for God will you speak unrighteousness and for him will you speak? deceit.
Do you not speak before the Lord, and utter deceit before him?
8 ¿ Face his will you lift up! or? for God will you argue a case!
Or will you draw back? nay do, you yourselves be judges.
9 ¿ [will it be] good If he will examine you or? as deceives a person will you deceive him.
For [it were] well if he would thoroughly search you: for though doing all things [in your power] you should attach yourselves to him,
10 Certainly he will rebuke you if in secrecy faces you will lift up!
he will not reprove you at all the less: but if moreover you should secretly respect persons,
11 ¿ Not majesty his will it terrify you and dread his will it fall? on you.
shall not his whirlpool sweep you round, and terror from him fall upon you?
12 Memorials your [are] proverbs of ash[es] [are] defenses of clay defenses your.
And your glorying shall prove in the end to you like ashes, and your body [like a body] of clay.
13 Be silent from me so let me speak I and let it pass on me whatever.
Be silent, that I may speak, and cease from [mine] anger,
14 Concerning what? - will I take flesh my in teeth my and life my will I put? in palm my.
while I may take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.
15 There! he will kill me (to him *Q(K)*) I will hope nevertheless ways my to face his I will argue.
Though the Mighty One should lay hand upon me, forasmuch as he has begun, verily I will speak, and plead before him.
16 Also that of me [will be] for deliverance for not before him a godless [person] he will come.
And this shall turn to me for salvation; for fraud shall have no entrance before him.
17 Listen completely [to] speech my and declaration my [be] in ears your.
Hear, hear you my words, for I will declare in your hearing.
18 Here! please I have arranged a case I know that I I am in [the] right.
Behold, I am near my judgment: I know that I shall appear evidently just.
19 Who? that will he conduct a case with me if now I will keep silent and I may expire.
For who is he that shall plead with me, that I should now be silent, and expire?
20 Only two [things] may not you do with me then from before you not I will hide myself.
But grant me two things: then I will not hide myself from your face.
21 Hand your from on me put far away and dread your may not it terrify me.
Withhold [your] hand from me: and let not your fear terrify me.
22 And call and I I will answer or let me speak and respond to me.
Then shall you call, and I will listen to you: or you shall speak, and I will give you an answer.
23 How many? of me [are] iniquities and sins transgression my and sin my make known to me.
How many are my sins and my transgressions? teach me what they are.
24 Why? face your do you hide and do you consider? me to an enemy of you.
Therefore hide you yourself from me, and deem me your enemy?
25 ¿ A leaf driven about will you terrify and chaff dry will you pursue?
Will you be startled [at me], as [at] a leaf shaken by the wind? or will you set yourself against me as against grass borne upon the breeze?
26 For you write on me bitter things and you cause to inherit me [the] iniquities of youth my.
for you have written evil things against me, and you have compassed me with the sins of my youth.
27 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.
And you have placed my foot in the stocks; and you have watched all my works, and have penetrated my heels.
28 And he like rottenness he wears out like a garment [which] it eats it a moth.
[I am as] that which waxes old like a bottle, or like a moth-eaten garment.
