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