Lo, mine eyeH5869 hath seenH7200 all this, mine earH241 hath heardH8085 and understoodH995 it.
What ye knowH1847, the same do I knowH3045 also: I am not inferiorH5307 unto you.
SurelyH199 I would speakH1696 to the AlmightyH7706, and I desireH2654 to reasonH3198 with GodH410.
ButH199 ye are forgersH2950 of liesH8267, ye are all physiciansH7495 of no valueH457.
O thatH5414 ye would altogetherH2790 hold your peaceH2790! and it should be your wisdomH2451.
HearH8085 now my reasoningH8433, and hearkenH7181 to the pleadingsH7379 of my lipsH8193.
Will ye speakH1696 wickedlyH5766 for GodH410? and talkH1696 deceitfullyH7423 for him?
Will ye acceptH5375 his personH6440? will ye contendH7378 for GodH410?
Is it goodH2895 that he should search you outH2713? or as one manH582 mockethH2048 another, do ye so mockH2048 him?
He will surelyH3198 reproveH3198 you, if ye do secretlyH5643 acceptH5375 personsH6440.
Shall not his excellencyH7613 make you afraidH1204? and his dreadH6343 fallH5307 upon you?
Your remembrancesH2146 are likeH4912 unto ashesH665, your bodiesH1354 to bodiesH1354 of clayH2563.
Hold your peaceH2790, let me alone, that I may speakH1696, and let comeH5674 on me what will. {Hold…: Heb. Be silent from me}
Wherefore do I takeH5375 my fleshH1320 in my teethH8127, and putH7760 my lifeH5315 in mine handH3709?
ThoughH2005 he slayH6991 me, yet will I trustH3176 in him: but I will maintainH3198 mine own waysH1870 beforeH6440 him. {maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue}
He also shall be my salvationH3444: for an hypocriteH2611 shall not comeH935 beforeH6440 him.
HearH8085 diligentlyH8085 my speechH4405, and my declarationH262 with your earsH241.
Behold now, I have orderedH6186 my causeH4941; I knowH3045 that I shall be justifiedH6663.
Who is he that will pleadH7378 with me? for now, if I hold my tongueH2790, I shall give up the ghostH1478.
Only doH6213 not twoH8147 things unto me: then will I not hideH5641 myself from theeH6440.
WithdrawH7368 thine handH3709 farH7368 from me: and let not thy dreadH367 make me afraidH1204.
Then callH7121 thou, and I will answerH6030: or let me speakH1696, and answerH7725 thou me.
How many are mine iniquitiesH5771 and sinsH2403? make me to knowH3045 my transgressionH6588 and my sinH2403.
Wherefore hidestH5641 thou thy faceH6440, and holdestH2803 me for thine enemyH341?
Wilt thou breakH6206 a leafH5929 driven to and froH5086? and wilt thou pursueH7291 the dryH3002 stubbleH7179?
For thou writestH3789 bitter thingsH4846 against me, and makest me to possessH3423 the iniquitiesH5771 of my youthH5271.
Thou puttestH7760 my feetH7272 also in the stocksH5465, and lookest narrowlyH8104 unto all my pathsH734; thou settest a printH2707 upon the heelsH8328 of my feetH7272. {lookest…: Heb. observest} {heels: Heb. roots}
And he, as a rotten thingH7538, consumethH1086, as a garmentH899 that is mothH6211 eatenH398.

I have heardH8085 many such thingsH7227: miserableH5999 comfortersH5162 are ye all. {miserable: or, troublesome}
They have healedH7495 also the hurtH7667 of the daughterH1323 of my peopleH5971 slightlyH7043, sayingH559, PeaceH7965, peaceH7965; when there is no peaceH7965. {hurt: Heb. bruise, or, breach}

Yea, the lightH216 of the wickedH7563 shall be put outH1846, and the sparkH7632 of his fireH784 shall not shineH5050.
The lightH216 shall be darkH2821 in his tabernacleH168, and his candleH5216 shall be put outH1846 with him. {candle: or, lamp}
The stepsH6806 of his strengthH202 shall be straitenedH3334, and his own counselH6098 shall cast him downH7993.

The ginH6341 shall takeH270 him by the heelH6119, and the robberH6782 shall prevailH2388 against him.
The snareH2256 is laidH2934 for him in the groundH776, and a trapH4434 for him in the wayH5410. {laid: Heb. hidden}

He shall neither have sonH5209 nor nephewH5220 among his peopleH5971, nor any remainingH8300 in his dwellingsH4033.
They that come afterH314 him shall be astoniedH8074 at his dayH3117, as they that went beforeH6931 were affrightedH270+H8178. {went…: or, lived with him} {were…: Heb. laid hold on horror}

There is none to pleadH1777 thy causeH1779, that thou mayest be bound upH4205: thou hast no healingH8585 medicinesH7499. {that…: Heb. for binding up, or, pressing}
Behold, I knowH3045 your thoughtsH4284, and the devicesH4209 which ye wrongfully imagineH2554 against me.
For ye sayH559, Where is the houseH1004 of the princeH5081? and where are the dwellingH4908 placesH168 of the wickedH7563? {the dwelling…: Heb. the tent of the tabernacles}
Have ye not askedH7592 them that goH5674 by the wayH1870? and do ye not knowH5234 their tokensH226,
That the wickedH7451 is reservedH2820 to the dayH3117 of destructionH343? they shall be brought forthH2986 to the dayH3117 of wrathH5678. {wrath: Heb. wraths}
Who shall declareH5046 his wayH1870 to his faceH6440? and who shall repayH7999 him what he hath doneH6213?

Go upH5927 into GileadH1568, and takeH3947 balmH6875, O virginH1330, the daughterH1323 of EgyptH4714: in vainH7723 shalt thou use manyH7235 medicinesH7499; for thou shalt not be curedH8585. {thou shalt…: Heb. no cure shall be unto thee}

Therefore snaresH6341 are round aboutH5439 thee, and suddenH6597 fearH6343 troublethH926 thee;
Or darknessH2822, that thou canst not seeH7200; and abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 coverH3680 thee.
Is not GodH433 in the heightH1363 of heavenH8064? and beholdH7200 the heightH7218 of the starsH3556, how highH7311 they are! {height of the stars: Heb. head of the stars}
And thou sayestH559, How doth GodH410 knowH3045? can he judgeH8199 through the dark cloudH6205? {How: or, What}
Thick cloudsH5645 are a coveringH5643 to him, that he seethH7200 not; and he walkethH1980 in the circuitH2329 of heavenH8064.
Hast thou markedH8104 the oldH5769 wayH734 which wickedH205 menH4962 have troddenH1869?
Which were cut downH7059 out of timeH6256, whose foundationH3247 was overflownH3332 with a floodH5104: {whose…: Heb. a flood was poured upon their foundation}
Which saidH559 unto GodH410, DepartH5493 from us: and what can the AlmightyH7706 doH6466 for them? {for: or, to}
Yet he filledH4390 their housesH1004 with goodH2896 things: but the counselH6098 of the wickedH7563 is farH7368 from me.
The righteousH6662 seeH7200 it, and are gladH8055: and the innocentH5355 laugh them to scornH3932.
WhereasH518 our substanceH7009 is not cut downH3582, but the remnantH3499 of them the fireH784 consumethH398. {substance: or, estate} {the remnant…: or, their excellency}
AcquaintH5532 now thyself with him, and be at peaceH7999: thereby goodH2896 shall comeH935 unto thee. {him: that is, God}
ReceiveH3947, I pray thee, the lawH8451 from his mouthH6310, and lay upH7760 his wordsH561 in thine heartH3824.
If thou returnH7725 to the AlmightyH7706, thou shalt be built upH1129, thou shalt put awayH7368 iniquityH5766 farH7368 from thy tabernaclesH168.
Then shalt thou lay upH7896 goldH1220 asH5921 dustH6083, and the gold of OphirH211 as the stonesH6697 of the brooksH5158. {as dust: or, on the dust}
Yea, the AlmightyH7706 shall be thy defenceH1220, and thou shalt have plentyH8443 of silverH3701. {defence: or, gold} {plenty…: Heb. silver of strength}
For then shalt thou have thy delightH6026 in the AlmightyH7706, and shalt lift upH5375 thy faceH6440 unto GodH433.
Thou shalt make thy prayerH6279 unto him, and he shall hearH8085 thee, and thou shalt payH7999 thy vowsH5088.
Thou shalt also decreeH1504 a thingH562, and it shall be establishedH6965 unto thee: and the lightH216 shall shineH5050 upon thy waysH1870.
When men are cast downH8213, then thou shalt sayH559, There is lifting upH1466; and he shall saveH3467 the humbleH7807 personH5869. {the humble…: Heb. him that hath low eyes}
He shall deliverH4422 the islandH336 of the innocentH5355: and it is deliveredH4422 by the purenessH1252 of thine handsH3709. {He shall…: or, The innocent shall deliver the island}
The diseasedH2470 have ye not strengthenedH2388, neither have ye healedH7495 that which was sickH2470, neither have ye bound upH2280 that which was brokenH7665, neither have ye brought againH7725 that which was driven awayH5080, neither have ye soughtH1245 that which was lostH6; but with forceH2394 and with crueltyH6531 have ye ruledH7287 them.
When EphraimH669 sawH7200 his sicknessH2483, and JudahH3063 saw his woundH4205, then wentH3212 EphraimH669 to the AssyrianH804, and sentH7971 to kingH4428 JarebH3377+H7378: yet couldH3201 he not healH7495 you, nor cureH1455 you of your woundH4205. {king Jareb: or, the king of Jareb: or, the king that should plead}
The proudH2086 have forgedH2950 a lieH8267 against me: but I will keepH5341 thy preceptsH6490 with my whole heartH3820.
