Job 13

Young's Literal Translation YLT

1 Lo, all -- hath mine eye seen, Heard hath mine ear, and it attendeth to it.

2 According to your knowledge I have known -- also I. I am not fallen more than you.

3 Yet I for the Mighty One do speak, And to argue for God I delight.

4 And yet, ye [are] forgers of falsehood, Physicians of nought -- all of you,

5 O that ye would keep perfectly silent, And it would be to you for wisdom.

6 Hear, I pray you, my argument, And to the pleadings of my lips attend,

7 For God do ye speak perverseness? And for Him do ye speak deceit?

8 His face do ye accept, if for God ye strive?

9 Is [it] good that He doth search you, If, as one mocketh at a man, ye mock at Him?

10 He doth surely reprove you, if in secret ye accept faces.

11 Doth not His excellency terrify you? And His dread fall upon you?

12 Your remembrances [are] similes of ashes, For high places of clay your heights.

13 Keep silent from me, and I speak, And pass over me doth what?

14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put in my hand?

15 Lo, He doth slay me -- I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue.

16 Also -- He [is] to me for salvation, For the profane cometh not before Him.

17 Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your ears.

18 Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have known that I am righteous.

19 Who [is] he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp.

20 Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden.

21 Thy hand put far off from me, And Thy terror let not terrify me.

22 And call Thou, and I -- I answer, Or -- I speak, and answer Thou me.

23 How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and my sin let me know.

24 Why dost Thou hide Thy face? And reckonest me for an enemy to Thee?

25 A leaf driven away dost Thou terrify? And the dry stubble dost Thou pursue?

26 For Thou writest against me bitter things, And causest me to possess iniquities of my youth:

27 And puttest in the stocks my feet, And observest all my paths, On the roots of my feet Thou settest a print,

28 And he, as a rotten thing, weareth away, As a garment hath a moth consumed him.

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.
