Job 13 (WEBP)

[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.

Job 13 (BYZ)

[1] ιδου ταυτα εωρακεν μου ο οφθαλμος και ακηκοεν μου το ους
[2] και οιδα οσα και υμεις επιστασθε και ουκ ασυνετωτερος ειμι υμων
[3] ου μην δε αλλ εγω προς κυριον λαλησω ελεγξω δε εναντιον αυτου εαν βουληται
[4] υμεις δε εστε ιατροι αδικοι και ιαται κακων παντες
[5] ειη δε υμιν κωφευσαι και αποβησεται υμιν εις σοφιαν
[6] ακουσατε ελεγχον στοματος μου κρισιν δε χειλεων μου προσεχετε
[7] ποτερον ουκ εναντι κυριου λαλειτε εναντι δε αυτου φθεγγεσθε δολον
[8] η υποστελεισθε υμεις δε αυτοι κριται γενεσθε
[9] καλον γε εαν εξιχνιαση υμας ει γαρ τα παντα ποιουντες προστεθησεσθε αυτω
[10] ουθεν ηττον ελεγξει υμας ει δε και κρυφη προσωπα θαυμασετε
[11] ποτερον ουχι δεινα αυτου στροβησει υμας φοβος δε παρ αυτου επιπεσειται υμιν
[12] αποβησεται δε υμων το αγαυριαμα ισα σποδω το δε σωμα πηλινον
[13] κωφευσατε ινα λαλησω και αναπαυσωμαι θυμου
[14] αναλαβων τας σαρκας μου τοις οδουσιν ψυχην δε μου θησω εν χειρι
[15] εαν με χειρωσηται ο δυναστης επει και ηρκται η μην λαλησω και ελεγξω εναντιον αυτου
[16] και τουτο μοι αποβησεται εις σωτηριαν ου γαρ εναντιον αυτου δολος εισελευσεται
[17] ακουσατε ακουσατε τα ρηματα μου αναγγελω γαρ υμων ακουοντων
[18] ιδου εγω εγγυς ειμι του κριματος μου οιδα εγω οτι δικαιος αναφανουμαι
[19] τις γαρ εστιν ο κριθησομενος μοι οτι νυν κωφευσω και εκλειψω
[20] δυειν δε μοι χρηση τοτε απο του προσωπου σου ου κρυβησομαι
[21] την χειρα απ εμου απεχου και ο φοβος σου μη με καταπλησσετω
[22] ειτα καλεσεις εγω δε σοι υπακουσομαι η λαλησεις εγω δε σοι δωσω ανταποκρισιν
[23] ποσαι εισιν αι αμαρτιαι μου και αι ανομιαι μου διδαξον με τινες εισιν
[24] δια τι απ εμου κρυπτη ηγησαι δε με υπεναντιον σοι
[25] η ως φυλλον κινουμενον υπο ανεμου ευλαβηθηση η ως χορτω φερομενω υπο πνευματος αντικεισαι μοι
[26] οτι κατεγραψας κατ εμου κακα περιεθηκας δε μοι νεοτητος αμαρτιας
[27] εθου δε μου τον ποδα εν κωλυματι εφυλαξας δε μου παντα τα εργα εις δε ριζας των ποδων μου αφικου
[28] ο παλαιουται ισα ασκω η ωσπερ ιματιον σητοβρωτον
