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.

Thou knowestH1847 that I am not wickedH7561; and there is none that can deliverH5337 out of thine handH3027. {Thou…: Heb. It is upon thy knowledge}
For I knowH3045 that my redeemerH1350 livethH2416, and that he shall standH6965 at the latterH314 day upon the earthH6083:
And though afterH310 my skinH5785 worms destroyH5362 this body, yet in my fleshH1320 shall I seeH2372 GodH433: {And…: or, After I shall awake, though this body be destroyed, yet out of my flesh}
Whom I shall seeH2372 for myself, and mine eyesH5869 shall beholdH7200, and not anotherH2114; though my reinsH3629 be consumedH3615 withinH2436 me. {another: Heb. a stranger} {though…: or, my reins within me are consumed with earnest desire (for that day)} {within…: Heb. in my bosom}
But ye should sayH559, Why persecuteH7291 we him, seeing the rootH8328 of the matterH1697 is foundH4672 in me? {seeing…: or, and what root of matter is found in me?}
But he knowethH3045 the wayH1870 that I takeH5978: when he hath triedH974 me, I shall come forthH3318 as goldH2091. {that…: Heb. that is with me}
O that one might pleadH3198 for a manH1397 with GodH433, as a manH120 pleadeth for his neighbourH1121+H7453! {neighbour: or, friend}
Yea, though I walkH3212 through the valleyH1516 of the shadow of deathH6757, I will fearH3372 no evilH7451: for thou art with me; thy rodH7626 and thy staffH4938 they comfortH5162 me.
I would orderH6186 my causeH4941 beforeH6440 him, and fillH4390 my mouthH6310 with argumentsH8433.
I would knowH3045 the wordsH4405 which he would answerH6030 me, and understandH995 what he would sayH559 unto me.
Will he pleadH7378 againstH5978 me with his greatH7230 powerH3581? No; but he would putH7760 strength in me.
There the righteousH3477 might disputeH3198 with him; so should I be deliveredH6403 for everH5331 from my judgeH8199.
The wickedH7563 is driven awayH1760 in his wickednessH7451: but the righteousH6662 hath hopeH2620 in his deathH4194.
God forbidH2486 that I should justifyH6663 you: till I dieH1478 I will not removeH5493 mine integrityH8538 from me.
ForG1063 I am persuadedG3982, thatG3754 neitherG3777 deathG2288, norG3777 lifeG2222, norG3777 angelsG32, norG3777 principalitiesG746, norG3777 powersG1411, norG3777 things presentG1764, norG3777 things to comeG3195,
If the menH4962 of my tabernacleH168 saidH559 not, Oh that we hadH5414 of his fleshH1320! we cannot be satisfiedH7646.
The strangerH1616 did not lodgeH3885 in the streetH2351: but I openedH6605 my doorsH1817 to the travellerH734. {traveller: or, way}
If I coveredH3680 my transgressionsH6588 as AdamH121, by hidingH2934 mine iniquityH5771 in my bosomH2243: {as Adam: or, after the manner of men}
Did I fearH6206 a greatH7227 multitudeH1995, or did the contemptH937 of familiesH4940 terrifyH2865 me, that I kept silenceH1826, and went not outH3318 of the doorH6607?
Oh thatH5414 one would hearH8085 me! behold, my desireH8420 is, that the AlmightyH7706 would answerH6030 me, and that mine adversaryH376+H7379 had writtenH3789 a bookH5612. {my…: or, my sign is that the Almighty will}
Surely I would takeH5375 it upon my shoulderH7926, and bindH6029 it as a crownH5850 to me.
I would declareH5046 unto him the numberH4557 of my stepsH6806; as a princeH5057 would I go nearH7126 unto him.

Shall he that contendethH7378 with the AlmightyH7706 instructH3250 him? he that reprovethH3198 GodH433, let him answerH6030 it.
Behold, I am vileH7043; what shall I answerH7725 thee? I will layH7760 mine handH3027 uponH3926 my mouthH6310.
OnceH259 have I spokenH1696; but I will not answerH6030: yea, twiceH8147; but I will proceed no furtherH3254.
