1Lo, mine eye hath seen all [this], mine ear hath heard and understood it.
1Lo, all--hath mine eye seen, Heard hath mine ear, and it attendeth to it.
2What ye know, I know also: I am not inferior to you.
2According to your knowledge I have known--also I. I am not fallen more than you.
3But I will speak to the Almighty, and will find pleasure in reasoning withGod;
3Yet I for the Mighty One do speak, And to argue for God I delight.
4For ye indeed are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
4And yet, ye <FI>are<Fi> forgers of falsehood, Physicians of nought--all of you,
5Oh that ye would be altogether silent! and it would be your wisdom.
5O that ye would keep perfectly silent, And it would be to you for wisdom.
6Hear now my defence, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
6Hear, I pray you, my argument, And to the pleadings of my lips attend,
7Will ye speak unrighteously forGod? and for him speak deceit?
7For God do ye speak perverseness? And for Him do ye speak deceit?
9Will it be well if he should search you out? or as one mocketh at a man, will ye mock at him?
9Is <FI>it<Fi> good that He doth search you, If, as one mocketh at a man, ye mock at Him?
10He will certainly reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
10He doth surely reprove you, if in secret ye accept faces.
11Shall not his excellency terrify you? and his dread fall upon you?
11Doth not His excellency terrify you? And His dread fall upon you?
12Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, your bulwarks are bulwarks of mire.
12Your remembrances <FI>are<Fi> similes of ashes, For high places of clay your heights.
13Hold your peace from me, and I will speak, and let come on me what [will]!
13Keep silent from me, and I speak, And pass over me doth what?
14Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand?
14Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put in my hand?
15Behold, if he slay me, yet would I trust in him; but I will defend mine own ways before him.
15Lo, He doth slay me--I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue.
16This also shall be my salvation, that a profane man shall not come before his face.
16Also--He <FI>is<Fi> to me for salvation, For the profane cometh not before Him.
17Hear attentively my speech and my declaration with your ears.
17Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your ears.
18Behold now, I have ordered the cause; I know that I shall be justified.
18Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have known that I am righteous.
19Who is he that contendeth with me? For if I were silent now, I should expire.
19Who <FI>is<Fi> he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp.
20Only do not two things unto me; then will I not hide myself from thee.
20Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden.
21Withdraw thy hand far from me; and let not thy terror make me afraid:
21Thy hand put far off from me, And Thy terror let not terrify me.
22Then call, and I will answer; or I will speak, and answer thou me.
22And call Thou, and I--I answer, Or--I speak, and answer Thou me.
23How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
23How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and my sin let me know.
24Wherefore dost thou hide thy face, and countest me for thine enemy?
24Why dost Thou hide Thy face? And reckonest me for an enemy to Thee?
25Wilt thou terrify a driven leaf? and wilt thou pursue dry stubble?
25A leaf driven away dost Thou terrify? And the dry stubble dost Thou pursue?
26For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth;
26For Thou writest against me bitter things, And causest me to possess iniquities of my youth:
