Job 13:1-15
-
1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
-
2 What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
-
3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
-
4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
-
5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
-
6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
-
7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
-
8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
-
9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
-
10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
-
11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
-
12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
-
13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
-
14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
-
15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
