Job:13

Seeker Overlay ON

* Behold , my eyes have seen all [this ]; my ears have heard and understood it . * As you know it , I know it ; I [am ] not inferior unto you . * But I would speak with the Almighty , and I desired to dispute with God . * That ye are certainly forgers of lies ; ye [are ] all physicians of no value . * O that ye would altogether be silent ! And it would be unto you [instead of ] wisdom . * Hear now my dispute , and hearken to the arguments of my lips . * Are ye to speak iniquity for God ? Are ye to speak deceitfully for him ? * Are ye to bring honour unto him ? Are ye to contend for God ? * Would it be good for him to search you out ? As one man mocks another , do ye [so ] mock him ? * He will reprove you severely , if in secret you give him such honour . * Certainly his excellency should make you afraid , and his dread should fall upon you . * Your memories shall be compared unto ashes , your bodies to bodies of clay . * Listen to me , and I will speak , and afterward let come on me what [will ]. * Why shall I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in the palm of my [hand ]? * Though he slay me , yet I will trust in him ; but I will defend my ways before him . * He also [shall be ] my saving health ; for the hypocrite shall not enter into his presence . * Hear diligently my reason and my declaration with your ears . * Behold now , if I draw near unto the judgment ; I know that I shall be justified . * Who [is ] he [that ] will contend with me ? For now , if I remain silent , I shall die . * At the least , grant me these two things ; then I will not hide myself from thee : * withdraw thy hand from me ; and let not thy dread make me afraid . * Then call , and I will answer ; or let me speak , and answer thou me . * How many [are ] my iniquities and sins ? Make me to know my transgression and my sin . * Why dost thou hide thy face , and hold me for thine enemy ? * Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro ? Wilt thou pursue the dry stubble ? * Why dost thou write bitter things against me and make me carry the iniquities of my youth . * Thou dost put my feet also in the stocks and look narrowly unto all my paths ; thou dost set a print upon the heels of my feet . * And [man ], is as a rotten thing that is being consumed , as a garment that is moth eaten .:
