<TITLE>Job 13</TITLE><BR>Job 13<BR>1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.<BR>2 What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.<BR>3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.<BR>4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.<BR>5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.<BR>6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.<BR>7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?<BR>8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?<BR>9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?<BR>10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.<BR>11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?<BR>12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.<BR>13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.<BR>14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?<BR>15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.<BR>16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.<BR>17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.<BR>18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.<BR>19 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.<BR>20 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.<BR>21 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.<BR>22 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.<BR>23 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.<BR>24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?<BR>25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?<BR>26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.<BR>27 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.<BR>28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.<BR><BR><BR>
