| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1“Indeed, my eyes have seen all this; my ears have heard and understood. |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you. |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Yet I desire to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God. |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4You, however, smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians. |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5If only you would remain silent; for that would be your wisdom! |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6Hear now my argument, and listen to the plea of my lips. |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf or speak deceitfully for Him? |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8Would you show Him partiality or argue in His defense? |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9Would it be well when He examined you? Could you deceive Him like a man? |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10Surely He would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality. |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11Would His majesty not terrify you? Would the dread of Him not fall upon you? |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay. |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13Be silent, and I will speak. Then let come to me what may. |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands? |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways to His face. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16Moreover, this will be my salvation, for no godless man can appear before Him. |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Listen carefully to my words; let my declaration ring in your ears. |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Behold, now that I have prepared my case, I know that I will be vindicated. |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die. |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Only grant these two things to me, so that I need not hide from You: |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21Withdraw Your hand from me, and do not let Your terror frighten me. |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22Then call me, and I will answer, or let me speak, and You can reply. |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23How many are my iniquities and sins? Reveal to me my transgression and sin. |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Why do You hide Your face and consider me as Your enemy? |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25Would You frighten a windblown leaf? Would You chase after dry chaff? |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26For You record bitter accusations against me and bequeath to me the iniquities of my youth. |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27You put my feet in the stocks and stand watch over all my paths; You set a limit for the soles of my feet. |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28So man wastes away like something rotten, like a moth-eaten garment. |
