Job Prepares His Case
1 BEHOLD mine eye hath seen all these things, and mine ear hath heard, and I have understood every thing.📜💬📚
2 According to your knowledge I also do know: neither am I inferior to you.📜💬📚
3 But yet I will speak to the Omnipotent, and I covet to dispute with God.📜💬📚
4 First shewing you to be forgers of lying, and maintainers of perverse opinions.📜💬📚
5 And would God ye would hold your peace, that you might be thought to be wise men.📜💬📚
6 Hear ye therefore my correptions, and attend the judgment of my lips.📜💬📚
7 Hath God need of your lie, that for him you speak guiles?📜💬📚
8 Do you take his person, and do you endeavour to judge for God?📜💬📚
9 Or shall it please him from whom nothing can be concealed, or shall he be deceived as a man, with your fraudulent dealings?📜💬📚
10 He shall reprove you, because in secret you take his person.📜💬📚
11 Forthwith as he shall move himself, he shall trouble you: and his terror shall come violently upon you.📜💬📚
12 Your memory shall be compared to ashes, and your necks shall be brought into clay.📜💬📚
13 Hold your peace a little while, that I may speak whatsoever my mind shall prompt me.📜💬📚
14 Why do I tear my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands?📜💬📚
15 Although he shall kill me, I will trust in him: but yet I will reprove my ways in his sight.📜💬📚
16 And he shall be my saviour: for no hypocrite shall come in his sight.📜💬📚
17 Hear ye my word, and receive the obscure sayings with your ears.📜💬📚
18 If I shall be judged, I know that I shall be found just.📜💬📚
19 What is he that will be judged with me? Let him come: why am I consumed holding my peace?📜💬📚
20 Two things only do not to me, and then shall I not be hid from thy face:📜💬📚
21 Make thy hand far from me, and let not thy fear terrify me.📜💬📚
22 Call me, and I will answer thee: or else I will speak, and do thou answer me.📜💬📚
23 How great iniquities and sins I have, my wicked deeds and my offences shew thou me.📜💬📚
24 Why hidest thou thy face, and thinkest me thine enemy?📜💬📚
25 Against the leaf, that is violently taken with the wind, thou shewest thy might, and persecutest dry stubble.📜💬📚
26 For thou writest bitterness against me, and wilt consume me with the sins of my youth.📜💬📚
27 Thou hast put my feet in the stocks, and hast observed all my paths, and hast considered the steps of my feet.📜💬📚
28 Who as rottenness am to be consumed, and as a garment, that is eaten of the moth.📜💬📚
