Job 13

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 "Lo, mine eye hath seen all this; mine ear hath heard and understood it.

2 What ye know, the same do I know also; I am not inferior unto you.

3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.

4 But ye are forgers of lies; ye are all physicians of no value.

5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace, and it should be your wisdom!

6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

7 Will ye speak wickedly for God, and talk deceitfully for Him?

8 Will ye accept His person; will ye contend for God?

9 Is it good that He should search you out? Or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock Him?

10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.

11 Shall not His excellency make you afraid, and His dread fall upon you?

12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.

13 "Hold your peace; let me alone that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

14 Why do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?

15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; but I will argue mine own ways before Him.

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

17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.

18 Behold now, I have prepared my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

19 Who is he that will plead with me? For now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.

20 "Only do not two things unto me; then will I not hide myself from Thee:

21 Withdraw Thine hand far from me, and let not Thy dread make me afraid.

22 Then call Thou, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer Thou me.

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

24 Why hidest Thou Thy face, and holdest me for Thine enemy?

25 Wilt Thou break a leaf driven to and fro? And wilt Thou pursue the dry stubble?

26 For Thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.

27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; Thou settest a mark upon the heels of my feet.

28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is motheaten.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 "My eye has certainly seen all of this! My ear has heard and understood it.

2 After all, I know it as well as you do. I am not inferior to you.

3 However, I want to speak to the Almighty, and I wish to argue my case in front of God.

4 But you are smearing me with lies. All of you are worthless physicians.

5 I wish you would keep silent. For you, that would be wisdom.

6 Please listen to my argument, and pay attention to my plea.

7 "Will you talk wickedly for God and talk deceitfully on his behalf?

8 Will you favor him [as] if you were arguing in court on God's behalf?

9 Will it go well when he cross-examines you? Will you try to trick him as one mortal tricks another?

10 Will he really defend you if you secretly favor [him]?

11 Doesn't his majesty terrify you? Doesn't the fear of him fall upon you?

12 "Your recollections are worthless proverbs. Your answers are absolutely useless.

13 Be quiet, because I want to speak. Let whatever may happen to me [happen]!

14 I am biting off more than I can chew and taking my life in my own hands.

15 If God would kill me, I would have no hope [left]. Nevertheless, I will defend my behavior to his face.

16 This also will be my salvation because no godless person could face him.

17 "Listen carefully to my words. Hear my declaration.

18 I have prepared my case. I know that I will be declared righteous.

19 Who can make a case against me? If someone could, I'd be silent and die.

20 "Please don't do two things to me so that I won't have to hide from you:

21 Stop oppressing me. Don't let your terror frighten me.

22 Then call, and I'll answer. Otherwise, I'll speak, and you'll answer me.

23 How many crimes and sins have I committed? Make me aware of my disobedience and my sin.

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

25 Are you trying to make a fluttering leaf tremble or trying to chase dry husks?

26 You write down bitter accusations against me. You make me suffer for the sins of my youth.

27 You put my feet in shackles. You follow my trail by engraving marks on the soles of my feet.

28 I am like worn-out wineskins, like moth-eaten clothes.
