  • 1. Loe, mine eye hath seene all this, mine eare hath heard and vnderstood it.
  • 2. What yee know, the same doe I know also, I am not inferiour vnto you.
  • 3. Surely I would speake to the Almighty, & I desire to reason with God.
  • 4. But ye are forgers of lies, yee are all Physicians of no value.
  • 5. O that you would altogether hold your peace, & it should be your wisdome.
  • 6. Heare now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
  • 7. Wil you speake wickedly for God? and talke deceitfully for him?
  • 8. Will ye accept his person? Will yee contend for God?
  • 9. Is it good that hee should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, doe ye so mocke him?
  • 10. He will surely reprooue you, if yee doe secretly accept persons.
  • 11. Shall not his excellencie make you afraid? and his dread fall vpon you?
  • 12. Your remembrances are like vnto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
  • 13. Hold your peace, let me alone that I may speake, and let come on me what will.
  • 14. Wherefore doe I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
  • 15. Though hee slay mee, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintaine mine owne wayes before him.
  • 16. Hee also shall be my saluation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
  • 17. Heare diligently my speach, and my declaration with your eares.
  • 18. Behold now, I haue ordered my cause, I know that I shall be iustified.
  • 19. Who is hee that will plead with me? for now if I hold my tongue, I shall giue vp the ghost.
  • 20. Only doe not two things vnto me: then will I not hide my selfe from thee.
  • 21. Withdrawe thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make mee afraid.
  • 22. Then call thou, and I will answere: or let me speake, and answere thou mee.
  • 23. How many are mine iniquities and sinnes? make mee to knowe my transgression, and my sinne.
  • 24. Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemie?
  • 25. Wilt thou breake a leafe driuen to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble?
  • 26. For thou writest bitter things against mee, and makest me to possesse the iniquities of my youth.
  • 27. Thou puttest my feete also in the stockes, and lookest narrowly vnto all my pathes; thou settest a print vpon the heeles of my feete.
  • 28. And hee, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that is moth-eaten.
