## Text

[1] “Indeed, my eyes have seen all this;
my ears have heard and understood. [2] What you know, I also know;
I am not inferior to you. [3] Yet I desire to speak to the Almighty
and argue my case before God. [4] You, however, smear with lies;
you are all worthless physicians. [5] If only you would remain silent;
for that would be your wisdom! [6] Hear now my argument,
and listen to the plea of my lips. [7] Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf
or speak deceitfully for Him? [8] Would you show Him partiality
or argue in His defense? [9] Would it be well when He examined you?
Could you deceive Him like a man? [10] Surely He would rebuke you
if you secretly showed partiality. [11] Would His majesty not terrify you?
Would the dread of Him not fall upon you? [12] Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay. [13] Be silent, and I will speak.
Then let come to me what may. [14] Why do I put myself at risk
and take my life in my own hands? [15] Though He slay me, I will hope in Him.
I will still defend my ways to His face. [16] Moreover, this will be my salvation,
for no godless man can appear before Him. [17] Listen carefully to my words;
let my declaration ring in your ears. [18] Behold, now that I have prepared my case,
I know that I will be vindicated. [19] Can anyone indict me?
If so, I will be silent and die. [20] Only grant these two things to me,
so that I need not hide from You: [21] Withdraw Your hand from me,
and do not let Your terror frighten me. [22] Then call me, and I will answer,
or let me speak, and You can reply. [23] How many are my iniquities and sins?
Reveal to me my transgression and sin. [24] Why do You hide Your face
and consider me as Your enemy? [25] Would You frighten a windblown leaf?
Would You chase after dry chaff? [26] For You record bitter accusations against me
and bequeath to me the iniquities of my youth. [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. [28] So man wastes away like something rotten,
like a moth-eaten garment.
