Lo, all
--
hath
mine eye seen, Heard
hath
mine ear ,
and it
attendeth
to
it.
Lo, mine eye hath
seen all
this
, mine ear hath
heard
and understood
it.
According
to
your
knowledge
I have
known
--
also I.
I am not fallen
more
than
you.
What
ye
know,
the
same
do
I know
also :
I am not inferior
unto
you.
Yet
I for
the
Mighty
One
do
speak, And to argue
for
God I
delight
.
Surely
I would
speak to
the
Almighty
, and I
desire
to reason
with
God.
And
yet,

are '
forgers of falsehood
, Physicians
of
nought
--
all of you,
But
ye are forgers of lies
, ye
are
all physicians
of no
value.
O that ye would keep
perfectly
silent,
And it would
be to
you
for
wisdom.
O that ye would altogether
hold
your
peace!
and it should
be your
wisdom.
Hear ,
I
pray
you,
my argument
, And to the pleadings of my lips attend,
Hear now
my reasoning
, and hearken
to the pleadings of my lips .
For
God
do
ye speak perverseness
? And for Him do
ye
speak
deceit
?
Will
ye speak wickedly
for
God
? and talk
deceitfully
for him?
His
face
do
ye accept ,
if
for God ye
strive
?
Will
ye accept his
person?
will
ye
contend
for God?
Is `
it '
good that He doth
search you ,
If,
as one mocketh
at
a
man, ye mock at
Him?
Is it good that he should
search you out?
or
as one man mocketh
another
, do
ye so
mock him?
He doth
surely reprove you, if in
secret
ye accept faces
.
He will
surely reprove you, if ye do
secretly
accept persons
.
Doth
not His excellency terrify
you? And His dread fall upon you?
Shall
not his excellency make
you afraid
? and his dread fall upon you?
Your remembrances `
are '
similes
of
ashes, For
high
places
of clay your
heights
.
Your remembrances are like
unto
ashes, your
bodies
to
bodies
of clay.
Keep
silent
from
me, and
I speak, And pass
over
me doth
what ?
Hold
your
peace,
let
me alone
, that
I may
speak, and let
come
on
me what will.
Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth ?
And my
soul
put in
my hand?
Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth ,
and put my life
in
mine
hand?
Lo,
He doth
slay me --
I
wait
not!
Only
, my
ways
unto
His
face
I argue
.
Though
he slay me, yet
will
I trust
in
him:
but
I
will
maintain
mine
own
ways
before
him
.
Also
--
He `is'
to
me
for
salvation ,
For the
profane
cometh
not before Him.
He also
shall
be
my
salvation :
for an
hypocrite
shall
not come
before him.
Hear ye
diligently my word
, And my declaration with your ears.
Hear diligently my speech
, and my declaration with your ears.
Lo,
I
pray
you
, I have set
in
order
the
cause ,
I have
known
that I am
righteous
.
Behold
now
, I have ordered
my
cause ;
I know
that I shall
be
justified
.
Who `
is '
he that doth
strive
with me? For now I keep
silent
and
gasp
.
Who is he that will
plead
with me? for now ,
if
I hold
my
tongue,
I
shall
give
up
the
ghost
.
Only two things ,
O
God,
do
with
me: Then from
Thy
face
I am
not hidden
.
Only do
not
two things unto
me: then will
I not hide
myself
from
thee
.
Thy
hand put
far off
from me ,
And Thy
terror
let not terrify
me.
Withdraw
thine
hand far from me :
and let not thy
dread
make
me afraid
.
And
call Thou, and I --
I
answer ,
Or --
I
speak, and answer Thou me.
Then
call thou, and I will
answer :
or let
me
speak, and answer thou me.
How many iniquities and sins have
I
? My transgression and my sin let
me
know
.
How many are
mine
iniquities and sins? make
me

my transgression and my sin.
Why
dost
Thou hide
Thy face ?
And reckonest
me for an
enemy to
Thee
?

hidest
thou thy face ,
and holdest
me for thine
enemy?
A leaf driven away
dost
Thou
terrify
? And the dry stubble dost
Thou
pursue
?

break
a leaf driven to
and

me
bitter things, And causest
me to possess iniquities of my youth :

me to possess the
iniquities of my youth .
And
puttest in the stocks my
feet
, And observest
all my paths ,
On
the
roots
of
my
feet
Thou settest a print ,
Thou
puttest my
feet
also
in the stocks, and lookest
narrowly
unto
all my paths ;
thou settest a print upon
the
heels
of
my
feet.
And he, as a rotten thing, weareth
away
, As a garment hath
a
moth consumed
him
.
And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth
, as a garment that
is
moth eaten
.
