Job 13

Septuagint Bible w/ Apocrypha LXX

1 Behold, mine eye has seen these things, and mine ear has heard .

2 And I know all that ye too know; and I have not less understanding than you.

3 Nevertheless I will speak to the Lord, and I will reason before him, if he will.

4 But ye are all bad physicians, and healers of diseases.

5 But would that ye were silent, and it would be wisdom to you in the end.

6 But hear ye the reasoning of my mouth, and attend to the judgment of my lips.

7 Do ye not speak before the Lord, and utter deceit before him?

8 Or will ye draw back? nay do, ye yourselves be judges.

9 For well if he would thoroughly search you: for though doing all things ye should attach yourselves to him,

10 he will not reprove you at all the less: but if moreover ye should secretly respect persons,

11 shall not his whirlpool sweep you round, and terror from him fall upon you?

12 And your glorying shall prove in the end to you like ashes, and your body of clay.

13 Be silent, that I may speak, and cease from anger,

14 while I may take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.

15 Though the Mighty One should lay hand upon me, forasmuch as he has begun, verily I will speak, and plead before him.

16 And this shall turn to me for salvation; for fraud shall have no entrance before him.

17 Hear, hear ye my words, for I will declare in your hearing.

18 Behold, I am near my judgment: I know that I shall appear evidently just.

19 For who is he that shall plead with me, that I should now be silent, and expire?

20 But grant me two things: then I will not hide myself from thy face.

21 Withhold hand from me: and let not thy fear terrify me.

22 Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: or thou shalt speak, and I will give thee an answer.

23 How many are my sins and my transgressions? teach me what they are.

24 Wherefore hidest thou thyself from me, and deemest me thine enemy?

25 Wilt thou be startled , as a leaf shaken by the wind? or wilt thou set thyself against me as against grass borne upon the breeze?

26 for thou hast written evil things against me, and thou hast compassed me with the sins of my youth.

27 And thou hast placed my foot in the stocks; and thou hast watched all my works, and hast penetrated my heels.

28 that which waxes old like a bottle, or like a moth-eaten garment.

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.
