[1]Lo, mine eyeH5869 hath seenH7200[H8804] all this, mine earH241 hath heardH8085[H8804] and understoodH995 itH8799.
[2]What ye knowH1847, the same do I knowH3045[H8804] also: I am not inferiorH5307 unto youH8802.
[3]SurelyH199 I would speakH1696[H8762] to the AlmightyH7706, and I desireH2654[H8799] to reasonH3198[H8687] with GodH410.
[4]ButH199 ye are forgersH2950[H8802] of liesH8267, ye are all physiciansH7495[H8802] of no valueH457.
[5]O thatH5414[H8799] ye would altogetherH2790[H8687] hold your peaceH2790[H8686]! and it should be your wisdomH2451.
[6]HearH8085[H8798] now my reasoningH8433, and hearkenH7181[H8685] to the pleadingsH7379 of my lipsH8193.
[7]Will ye speakH1696[H8762] wickedlyH5766 for GodH410? and talkH1696[H8762] deceitfully for himH7423?
[8]Will ye acceptH5375[H8799] his personH6440? will ye contendH7378[H8799] for GodH410?
[9]Is it goodH2895[H8804] that he should search you outH2713[H8799]? or as one manH582 mockethH2048[H8763] another, do ye so mockH2048 himH8762?
[10]He will surelyH3198[H8687] reproveH3198[H8686] you, if ye do secretlyH5643 acceptH5375[H8799] personsH6440.
[11]Shall not his excellencyH7613 make you afraidH1204[H8762]? and his dreadH6343 fallH5307 upon youH8799?
[12]Your remembrancesH2146 are likeH4912 unto ashesH665, your bodiesH1354 to bodiesH1354 of clayH2563.
[13]Hold your peaceH2790[H8685], let me alone, that I may speakH1696[H8762], and let comeH5674 on me what willH8799.
[14]Wherefore do I takeH5375[H8799] my fleshH1320 in my teethH8127, and putH7760[H8799] my lifeH5315 in mine handH3709?
[15]ThoughH2005 he slayH6991[H8799] me, yet will I trustH3176[H8762] in him: but I will maintainH3198[H8686] mine own waysH1870 before himH6440.
[16]He also shall be my salvationH3444: for an hypocriteH2611 shall not comeH935[H8799] before himH6440.
[17]HearH8085[H8798] diligentlyH8085[H8800] my speechH4405, and my declarationH262 with your earsH241.
[18]Behold now, I have orderedH6186[H8804] my causeH4941; I knowH3045[H8804] that I shall be justifiedH6663.[H8799]
[19]Who is he that will pleadH7378[H8799] with me? for now, if I hold my tongueH2790[H8686], I shall give up the ghostH1478.[H8799]
[20]Only doH6213[H8799] not twoH8147 things unto me: then will I not hideH5641[H8735] myself from theeH6440.
[21]WithdrawH7368 thine handH3709 farH7368[H8685] from me: and let not thy dreadH367 make me afraidH1204.[H8762]
[22]Then callH7121[H8798] thou, and I will answerH6030[H8799]: or let me speakH1696[H8762], and answerH7725 thou meH8685.
[23]How many are mine iniquitiesH5771 and sinsH2403? make me to knowH3045[H8685] my transgressionH6588 and my sinH2403.
[24]Wherefore hidestH5641[H8686] thou thy faceH6440, and holdestH2803[H8799] me for thine enemyH341?[H8802]
[25]Wilt thou breakH6206[H8799] a leafH5929 driven to and froH5086[H8737]? and wilt thou pursueH7291[H8799] the dryH3002 stubbleH7179?
[26]For thou writestH3789[H8799] bitter thingsH4846 against me, and makest me to possessH3423[H8686] the iniquitiesH5771 of my youthH5271.
[27]Thou puttestH7760[H8799] my feetH7272 also in the stocksH5465, and lookest narrowlyH8104[H8799] unto all my pathsH734; thou settest a printH2707[H8691] upon the heelsH8328 of my feetH7272.
[28]And he, as a rotten thingH7538, consumethH1086[H8799], as a garmentH899 that is mothH6211 eatenH398.[H8804]
