Job 13

New American Standard Bible NAS

1 "Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it.

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

3 "But I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to argue with God.

4 "But you smear with lies; You are all worthless physicians.

5 "O that you would be completely silent, And that it would become your wisdom!

6 "Please hear my argument And listen to the contentions of my lips.

7 "Will you speak what is unjust for God, And speak what is deceitful for Him?

8 "Will you show partiality for Him? Will you contend for God?

9 "Will it be well when He examines you? Or will you deceive Him as one deceives a man?

10 "He will surely reprove you If you secretly show partiality .

11 "Will not His majesty terrify you, And the dread of Him fall on you?

12 "Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.

13 "Be silent before me so that I may speak; Then let come on me what may.

14 "Why should I take my flesh in my teeth And put my life in my hands?

15 "Though He slay me, I will hope in Him. Nevertheless I will argue my ways before Him.

16 "This also will be my salvation, For a godless man may not come before His presence.

17 "Listen carefully to my speech, And let my declaration fill your ears.

18 "Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I will be vindicated.

19 "Who will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.

20 "Only two things do not do to me, Then I will not hide from Your face:

21 Remove Your hand from me, And let not the dread of You terrify me.

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

23 "How many are my iniquities and sins? Make known to me my rebellion and my sin.

24 "Why do You hide Your face And consider me Your enemy?

25 "Will You cause a driven leaf to tremble? Or will You pursue the dry chaff?

26 "For You write bitter things against me And make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

27 "You put my feet in the stocks And watch all my paths; You set a limit for the soles of my feet,

28 While I am decaying like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-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.
