Job 13

Common English Bible CEB

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

2 Just as you know, I also know; I'm not inferior to you.

3 But I want to speak to the Almighty; I would gladly present my case to God.

4 You, however, are plasterers of lies; ineffective healers, all of you.

5 Would that you were completely quiet; that would be your wisdom.

6 Hear my teaching and pay attention to the arguments of my lips.

7 Will you speak injustice for God, speak deceit on his behalf?

8 Will you be partial or contend for God?

9 Will it go well when he searches you, or can you fool him as you fool people?

10 He will certainly correct you if you've been secretly partial.

11 Wouldn't his majesty scare you and dread of him fall on you?

12 Your old sayings are proverbs made of ashes, your sayings defenses made of clay.

13 Be quiet and I will speak, come what may.

14 For what reason will I take my flesh in my teeth, put my life in jeopardy?

15 He will slay me; I'm without hope; I will surely prove my way to his face.

16 Also this will be my vindication, that a godless person won't come before him.

17 Listen closely to my words so that my remarks will be in your ears.

18 Look, I have laid out my case; I know that I'm innocent.

19 Who would dare contend with me, for then I would be quiet and die.

20 Only don't do two things to me, then I won't hide from your face.

21 Remove your hand far from me and don't terrify me with your anger.

22 Then call and I'll answer, or I'll speak and you can reply.

23 How many are my offenses and sins? Inform me about my rebellions and sins.

24 Why hide your face from me and consider me your enemy?

25 Will you cause a wind-tossed leaf to tremble, or will you pursue dry straw?

26 You even write bitter things about me, make me inherit my youthful indiscretions.

27 You tie up my feet and restrict all actions; you stamp marks on the bottom of my feet.

28 Surely a person wastes away like refuse, like clothing that a moth eats.

New King James Version NKJV

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 reason with God.

4 But you forgers of lies, You are all worthless physicians.

5 Oh, that you would be silent, And it would be your wisdom!

6 Now hear my reasoning, And heed the pleadings of my lips.

7 Will you speak wickedly for God, And talk deceitfully for Him?

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

9 Will it be well when He searches you out? Or can you mock Him as one mocks a man?

10 He will surely rebuke you If you secretly show partiality.

11 Will not His excellence make you afraid, And the dread of Him fall upon you?

12 Your platitudes are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of clay.

13 "Hold your peace with me, and let me speak, Then let come on me what may!

14 Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hands?

15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust Him. Even so, I will defend my own ways before Him.

16 He also shall be my salvation, For a hypocrite could not come before Him.

17 Listen carefully to my speech, And to my declaration with your ears.

18 See now, I have prepared my case, I know that I shall be vindicated.

19 Who is he who will contend with me? If now I hold my tongue, I perish.

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

21 Withdraw Your hand far from me, And let not the dread of You make me afraid.

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

23 How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.

24 Why do You hide Your face, And regard me as Your enemy?

25 Will You frighten a leaf driven to and fro? And will You pursue dry stubble?

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

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

28 "Man decays like a rotten thing, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
