Job 13

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Look, my eyes have seen all this; my ears have heard and understood it.

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

3 Yet I prefer to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God.

4 But you coat [the truth] with lies; you are all worthless doctors.

5 If only you would shut up and let that be your wisdom!

6 Hear now my argument, and listen to my defense.

7 Would you testify unjustly on God's behalf or speak deceitfully for Him?

8 Would you show partiality to Him or argue the case in His defense?

9 Would it go well if He examined you? Could you deceive Him as you would deceive a man?

10 Surely He would rebuke you if you secretly showed partiality.

11 Would God's majesty not terrify you? Would His dread not fall on you?

12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ash; your defenses are made of clay.

13 Be quiet, and I will speak. Let whatever comes happen to me.

14 Why do I put myself at risk and take my life in my own hands?

15 Even if He kills me, I will hope in Him. I will still defend my ways before Him.

16 Yes, this will result in my deliverance, for no godless person can appear before Him.

17 Pay close attention to my words; let my declaration [ring] in your ears.

18 Now then, I have prepared [my] case; I know that I am right.

19 Can anyone indict me? If so, I will be silent and die.

20 Only grant [these] two things to me, [God], so that I will not have to hide from Your presence:

21 remove Your hand from me, and do not let Your terror frighten me.

22 Then call, and I will answer, or I will speak, and You can respond to me.

23 How many iniquities and sins have I committed? Reveal to me my transgression and sin.

24 Why do You hide Your face and consider me Your enemy?

25 Will You frighten a wind-driven leaf? Will You chase after dry straw?

26 For You record bitter accusations against me and make me inherit the iniquities of my youth.

27 You put my feet in the stocks and stand watch over all my paths, setting a limit for the soles of my feet.

28 Man wears out like something rotten, like a moth-eaten garment.

English Standard Version ESV

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 my case with God.

4 As for you, you whitewash with lies; worthless physicians are you all.

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

6 Hear now my argument and listen to the pleadings of my lips.

7 Will you speak falsely for God and speak deceitfully for him?

8 Will you show partiality toward him? Will you plead the case for God?

9 Will it be well with you when he searches you out? Or can you deceive him, as one deceives a man?

10 He will surely rebuke you if in secret you show partiality.

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

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

13 “Let me have silence, and I will speak, and let come on me what may.

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

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

16 This will be my salvation, that the godless shall not come before him.

17 Keep listening to my words, and let my declaration be in your ears.

18 Behold, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be in the right.

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

20 Only grant me two things, then I will not hide myself from your face:

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

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

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

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

25 Will you frighten a driven leaf and pursue dry chaff?

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 all my paths; you set a limit for the soles of my feet.

28 Man wastes away like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
