Iob 13

¹Loe, mine eye hath seene all this, mine eare hath heard and vnderstood it.

²What yee know, the same doe I know also, I am not inferiour vnto you.

³Surely I would speake to the Almighty, & I desire to reason with God.

⁴But ye are forgers of lies, yee are all Physicians of no value.

⁵O that you would altogether hold your peace, & it should be your wisdome.

⁶Heare now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

⁷Wil you speake wickedly for God? and talke deceitfully for him?

⁸Will ye accept his person? Will yee contend for God?

⁹Is it good that hee should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, doe ye so mocke him?

¹⁰He will surely reprooue you, if yee doe secretly accept persons.

¹¹Shall not his excellencie make you afraid? and his dread fall vpon you?

¹²Your remembrances are like vnto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

¹³Hold your peace, let me alone that I may speake, and let come on me what will.

¹⁴Wherefore doe I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

¹⁵Though hee slay mee, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintaine mine owne wayes before him.

¹⁶Hee also shall be my saluation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.

¹⁷Heare diligently my speach, and my declaration with your eares.

¹⁸Behold now, I haue ordered my cause, I know that I shall be iustified.

¹⁹Who is hee that will plead with me? for now if I hold my tongue, I shall giue vp the ghost.

²⁰Only doe not two things vnto me: then will I not hide my selfe from thee.

²¹Withdrawe thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make mee afraid.

²²Then call thou, and I will answere: or let me speake, and answere thou mee.

²³How many are mine iniquities and sinnes? make mee to knowe my transgression, and my sinne.

²⁴Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemie?

²⁵Wilt thou breake a leafe driuen to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble?

²⁶For thou writest bitter things against mee, and makest me to possesse the iniquities of my youth.

²⁷Thou puttest my feete also in the stockes, and lookest narrowly vnto all my pathes; thou settest a print vpon the heeles of my feete.

²⁸And hee, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that is moth-eaten.
