Job:13:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Lo ,
mine eye hath seen all this ,
mine ear hath heard and understood it .
*
What ye know ,
the same do I know also :
I am not inferior unto you .
*
Surely I would speak to the Almighty ,
and I desire to reason with God .
*
But ye are forgers of lies ,
ye are all physicians of no value .
*
O that ye would altogether hold your peace !
and it should be your wisdom .
*
Hear now my reasoning ,
and hearken to the pleadings of my lips .
*
Will ye speak wickedly for God ?
and talk deceitfully for him ?
*
Will ye accept his person ?
will ye contend for God ?
*
Is it good that he should search you out ?
or as one man mocketh another ,
do ye so mock him ?
*
He will surely reprove you ,
if ye do secretly accept persons .
*
Shall not his excellency make you afraid ?
and his dread fall upon you ?
*
Your remembrances are like unto ashes ,
your bodies to bodies of clay .
*
Hold your peace ,
let me alone ,
that I may speak ,
and let come on me what will .
*
Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth ,
and put my life in mine hand ?
