[1] “Behold, my eye has seen all this.
My ear has heard and understood it.
[2] What you know, I know also.
I am not inferior to you. [3] “Surely I would speak to the Almighty.
I desire to reason with God.
[4] But you are forgers of lies.
You are all physicians of no value.
[5] Oh that you would be completely silent!
Then you would be wise.
[6] Hear now my reasoning.
Listen to the pleadings of my lips.
[7] Will you speak unrighteously for God,
and talk deceitfully for him?
[8] Will you show partiality to him?
Will you contend for God?
[9] Is it good that he should search you out?
Or as one deceives a man, will you deceive him?
[10] He will surely reprove you
if you secretly show partiality.
[11] Won’t his majesty make you afraid
and his dread fall on you?
[12] Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes.
Your defenses are defenses of clay. [13] “Be silent!
Leave me alone, that I may speak.
Let come on me what will.
[14] Why should I take my flesh in my teeth,
and put my life in my hand?
[15] Behold, he will kill me.
I have no hope.
Nevertheless, I will maintain my ways before him.
[16] This also will be my salvation,
that a godless man will not come before him.
[17] Listen carefully to my speech.
Let my declaration be in your ears.
[18] See now, I have set my cause in order.
I know that I am righteous.
[19] Who is he who will contend with me?
For then I would hold my peace and give up the spirit. [20] “Only don’t do two things to me,
then I will not hide myself from your face:
[21] withdraw your hand far from me,
and don’t let your terror make me afraid.
[22] Then call, and I will answer,
or let me speak, and you answer me.
[23] How many are my iniquities and sins?
Make me know my disobedience and my sin.
[24] Why do you hide your face,
and consider me your enemy?
[25] Will you harass a driven leaf?
Will you pursue the dry stubble?
[26] For you write bitter things against me,
and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.
[27] You also put my feet in the stocks,
and mark all my paths.
You set a bound to the soles of my feet,
[28] though I am decaying like a rotten thing,
like a garment that is moth-eaten.
King James Version
[1] Lo, mine eye H5869 hath seen H7200 all this,
Mine ear H241 hath heard H8085 and understood H995 it.
[2] What ye know, H1847 the same do I know H3045 also:
I am not inferior H5307 unto you.
[3] Surely H199 I would speak H1696 to the Almighty, H7706
And I desire H2654 to reason H3198 with God. H410
[4] But H199 ye are forgers H2950 of lies, H8267
Ye are all physicians H7495 of no value. H457
[5] O that H5414 ye would altogether H2790 hold your peace! H2790
And it should be your wisdom. H2451
[6] Hear H8085 now my reasoning, H8433
And hearken H7181 to the pleadings H7379 of my lips. H8193
[7] Will ye speak H1696 wickedly H5766 for God? H410
And talk H1696 deceitfully H7423 for him?
[8] Will ye accept H5375 his person? H6440
Will ye contend H7378 for God? H410
[9] Is it good H2895 that he should search you out? H2713
Or as one man H582 mocketh H2048 another, do ye so mock H2048 him?
[10] He will surely H3198 reprove H3198 you,
If ye do secretly H5643 accept H5375 persons. H6440
[11] Shall H7613 not H3808 his excellency H7613 make you afraid? H1204
And his dread H6343 fall H5307 upon you?
[12] Your remembrances H2146 are like H4912 unto ashes, H665
Your bodies H1354 to bodies H1354 of clay. H2563
[13] Hold your peace, H2790§ let me alone, that I may speak, H1696
And let come H5674 on me what will.
[14] Wherefore do I take H5375 my flesh H1320 in my teeth, H8127
And put H7760 my life H5315 in mine hand? H3709
[15] Though H2005 he slay H6991 me, yet will I trust H3176 in him:
But I will maintain§ H3198 mine own ways H1870 before H6440 him.
[16] He also shall be my salvation: H3444
For H3588 an hypocrite H2611 shall H935 not H3808 come H935 before H6440 him.
[17] Hear H8085 diligently H8085 my speech, H4405
And my declaration H262 with your ears. H241
[18] Behold H2009 now, I have ordered H6186 my cause; H4941
I know H3045 that I shall be justified. H6663
[19] Who is he that will plead H7378 with me?
For now, if I hold my tongue, H2790 I shall give up the ghost. H1478
[20] Only do H6213 not two H8147 things unto me:
Then will I not hide H5641 myself from thee. H6440
[21] Withdraw H7368 thine hand H3709 far H7368 from me:
And let not thy dread H367 make me afraid. H1204
[22] Then call H7121 thou, and I will answer: H6030
Or let me speak, H1696 and answer H7725 thou me.
[23] How many are mine iniquities H5771 and sins? H2403
Make me to know H3045 my transgression H6588 and my sin. H2403
[24] Wherefore hidest H5641 thou thy face, H6440
And holdest H2803 me for thine enemy? H341
[25] Wilt thou break H6206 a leaf H5929 driven to and fro? H5086
And wilt thou pursue H7291 the dry H3002 stubble? H7179
[26] For H3588 thou writest H3789 bitter things H4846 against H5921 me,
And makest me to possess H3423 the iniquities H5771 of my youth. H5271
[27] Thou puttest H7760 my feet H7272 also in the stocks, H5465
And lookest narrowly H8104§ unto all my paths; H734
Thou settest a print H2707 upon H5921 the heels H8328§ of my feet. H7272
[28] And he, as a rotten thing, H7538 consumeth, H1086
As a garment H899 that is moth H6211 eaten. H398

[1] Ἰδοὺ G2400 ταῦτα G5023 ἑώρακέν μου G3450 ὁ G3588 ὀφθαλμὸς G3788 καὶ G2532 ἀκήκοέν G191 μου G3450 τὸ G3588 οὖς· G3775 [2] καὶ G2532 οἶδα G1492 ὅσα G3745 καὶ G2532 ὑμεῖς G5210 ἐπίστασθε, G1987 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ἀσυνετώτερός G801 εἰμι G1510 ὑμῶν. G5216 [3] Οὐ G3756 μὴν G3375 δὲ G1161 ἀλλ’ G235 ἐγὼ G1473 πρὸς G4314 κύριον G2962 λαλήσω, G2980 ἐλέγξω G1651 δὲ G1161 ἐναντίον G1726 αὐτοῦ G846 ἐὰν G1437 βούληται. G1014 [4] Ὑμεῖς G5210 δέ G1161 ἐστε G2075 ἰατροὶ G2395 ἄδικοι G94 καὶ G2532 ἰαταὶ κακῶν G2556 πάντες. G3956 [5] Εἴη G1498 δὲ G1161 ὑμῖν G5213 κωφεῦσαι, καὶ G2532 ἀποβήσεται G576 ὑμῖν G5213 εἰς G1519 σοφίαν. G4678 [6] Ἀκούσατε G191 ἔλεγχον G1650 στόματός G4750 μου, G3450 κρίσιν G2920 δὲ G1161 χειλέων G5491 μου G3450 προσέχετε. G4337 [7] Πότερον G4220 οὐκ G3756 ἔναντι G1725 κυρίου G2962 λαλεῖτε, G2980 ἔναντι G1725 δὲ G1161 αὐτοῦ G846 φθέγγεσθε G5350 δόλον; G1388 [8] Ἦ G2229 ὑποστελεῖσθε; G5288 Ὑμεῖς G5210 δὲ G1161 αὐτοὶ G846 κριταὶ G2923 γένεσθε. G1096 [9] Καλόν G2570 γε, G1065 ἐὰν G1437 ἐξιχνιάσῃ ὑμᾶς· G5209 εἰ G1487 γὰρ G1063 τὰ G3588 πάντα G3956 ποιοῦντες G4160 προστεθήσεσθε G4369 αὐτῷ, G846 [10] οὐθὲν G3762 ἧττον G2276 ἐλέγξει G1651 ὑμᾶς· G5209 εἰ G1487 δὲ G1161 καὶ G2532 κρυφῇ G2931 πρόσωπα G4383 θαυμάσετε, G2296 [11] πότερον G4220 οὐχὶ G3780 δεινὰ αὐτοῦ G846 στροβήσει ὑμᾶς, G5209 φόβος G5401 δὲ G1161 παρ’ G3844 αὐτοῦ G846 ἐπιπεσεῖται G1968 ὑμῖν; G5213 [12] Ἀποβήσεται G576 δὲ G1161 ὑμῶν G5216 τὸ G3588 ἀγαυρίαμα ἴσα G2470 σποδῷ, G4700 τὸ G3588 δὲ G1161 σῶμα G4983 πήλινον. [13] Κωφεύσατε, ἵνα G2443 λαλήσω G2980 καὶ G2532 ἀναπαύσωμαι G373 θυμοῦ G2372 [14] ἀναλαβὼν G353 τὰς G3588 σάρκας G4561 μου G3450 τοῖς G3588 ὀδοῦσιν, G3599 ψυχὴν G5590 δέ G1161 μου G3450 θήσω G5087 ἐν G1722 χειρί. G5495 [15] Ἐάν G1437 με G3165 χειρώσηται ὁ G3588 δυνάστης, G1413 ἐπεὶ G1893 καὶ G2532 ἦρκται, G757 ἦ G2229 μὴν G3375 λαλήσω G2980 καὶ G2532 ἐλέγξω G1651 ἐναντίον G1726 αὐτοῦ· G846 [16] καὶ G2532 τοῦτό G5124 μοι G3427 ἀποβήσεται G576 εἰς G1519 σωτηρίαν, G4991 οὐ G3756 γὰρ G1063 ἐναντίον G1726 αὐτοῦ G846 δόλος G1388 εἰσελεύσεται. G1525 [17] Ἀκούσατε G191 ἀκούσατε G191 τὰ G3588 ῥήματά G4487 μου· G3450 ἀναγγελῶ G312 γὰρ G1063 ὑμῶν G5216 ἀκουόντων. G191 [18] Ἰδοὺ G2400 ἐγὼ G1473 ἐγγύς G1451 εἰμι G1510 τοῦ G3588 κρίματός G2917 μου, G3450 οἶδα G1492 ἐγὼ G1473 ὅτι G3754 δίκαιος G1342 ἀναφανοῦμαι. G398 [19] Τίς G5101 γάρ G1063 ἐστιν G2076 ὁ G3588 κριθησόμενός G2919 μοι; G3427 Ὅτι G3754 νῦν G3568 κωφεύσω καὶ G2532 ἐκλείψω. G1587 [20] Δυεῖν G1417 δέ G1161 μοι G3427 χρήσῃ· G5530 τότε G5119 ἀπὸ G575 τοῦ G3588 προσώπου G4383 σου G4675 οὐ G3756 κρυβήσομαι· G2928 [21] τὴν G3588 χεῖρα G5495 ἀπ’ G575 ἐμοῦ G1699 ἀπέχου, G567 καὶ G2532 ὁ G3588 φόβος G5401 σου G4675 μή G3361 με G3165 καταπλησσέτω. [22] Εἶτα G1534 καλέσεις, G2564 ἐγὼ G1473 δέ G1161 σοι G4671 ὑπακούσομαι· G5219 ἢ G2228 λαλήσεις, G2980 ἐγὼ G1473 δέ G1161 σοι G4671 δώσω G1325 ἀνταπόκρισιν.
