Job 13

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 "Look, my eye has seen everything; my ear has heard and has understood it.

2 {What you know}, I myself also know-- I [am] not more inferior than you.

3 But I would speak to Shaddai, and I desire to argue with God.

4 "But you {whitewash with lies}; all of you [are] {worthless healers}.

5 {O that} you would keep completely silent, and [that] it would become wisdom for you.

6 Please hear my argument, and listen attentively [to the] pleadings of my lips.

7 "Will you speak falsely for God? And will you speak deceitfully for him?

8 {Will you show partiality for him}? Or do you want to plead God's case?

9 [Will it be] well, if he examines you? Or can you deceive him like deceiving a human being?

10 "Surely he will rebuke you if {you show partiality} in secret.

11 Will not his majesty terrify you, and his dread fall upon you?

12 Your maxims [are] proverbs of ashes; your defenses [are] defenses of clay.

13 "{Let me have silence}, and I myself will speak, and let come over me whatever [may].

14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in my hand?

15 Look, [though] he kill me, I will hope in him; however, I will defend my ways {before him}.

16 Moreover, this [is] salvation to me, that [the] godless would not come {before him}.

17 "Listen carefully [to] my words, and [let] my exposition [be] in your ears.

18 Please look, I have prepared [my] case; I know that I myself will be vindicated.

19 Who [is] he who will contend with me? For {then} I would be silent, and I would pass away.

20 "Only you must not do [these] two [things] to me; then I will not hide from your face:

21 withdraw your hand from me, and let not your dread terrify me.

22 Then call, and I myself will answer; or let me speak, then reply to me.

23 "{How many} [are] my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my transgression and my sin.

24 Why do you hide your face and count me as your enemy?

25 Will you terrify a blown leaf? And will you pursue dry stubble?

26 "Indeed, you write bitter things against me, and you make me reap the iniquities of my childhood.

27 And you put my feet in the block, and you watch all my paths; you carve [a mark] on the soles of my feet.

28 And he himself wastes away like something rotten, like a garment that [the] moth has eaten.

New International Version NIV

1 “My eyes have seen all this, my ears have heard and understood it.

2 What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.

3 But I desire to speak to the Almighty and to argue my case with God.

4 You, however, smear me with lies; you are worthless physicians, all of you!

5 If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom.

6 Hear now my argument; listen to the pleas of my lips.

7 Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf? Will you speak deceitfully for him?

8 Will you show him partiality? Will you argue the case for God?

9 Would it turn out well if he examined you? Could you deceive him as you might deceive a mortal?

10 He would surely call you to account if you secretly showed partiality.

11 Would not his splendor terrify you? Would not the dread of him fall on you?

12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes; your defenses are defenses of clay.

13 “Keep silent and let me speak; then let come to me what may.

14 Why do I put myself in jeopardy and take my life in my hands?

15 Though he slay me, yet will I hope in him; I will surely defend my ways to his face.

16 Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance, for no godless person would dare come before him!

17 Listen carefully to what I say; let my words ring in your ears.

18 Now that I have prepared my case, I know I will be vindicated.

19 Can anyone bring charges against me? If so, I will be silent and die.

20 “Only grant me these two things, God, and then I will not hide from you:

21 Withdraw your hand far from me, and stop frightening me with your terrors.

22 Then summon me and I will answer, or let me speak, and you reply to me.

23 How many wrongs and sins have I committed? Show me my offense and my sin.

24 Why do you hide your face and consider me your enemy?

25 Will you torment a windblown leaf? Will you chase after dry chaff?

26 For you write down bitter things against me and make me reap the sins of my youth.

27 You fasten my feet in shackles; you keep close watch on all my paths by putting marks on the soles of my feet.

28 “So man wastes away like something rotten, like a garment eaten by moths.
