Глава 13

1. ¶ Lo, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it.
2. What you know, I know also; I am not inferior to you.
3. But I would speak to the Almighty, and with my reproof would I reason with God.
4. But you are forgers of lies; you are all healers of no value.
5. O that you would altogether keep silent! And it would serve you for wisdom.
6. Hear now my admonition, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7. Will you speak wickedly against God? And talk deceitfully against him?
8. Will you respect his person? Will you contend with him?
9. Is it good for you that he should search you out? Or as you are judged by men, would you be judged by him?
10. He will surely reprove you, if you will show partiality.
11. His excellency shall seek vengeance of you, and his terror will fall upon you.
12. Remember that your power is from the earth, and your dwelling place is of clay.
13. ¶ Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak also, and tell everything that has come upon me.
14. Why am I so afflicted, and why is my life exposed to danger?
15. Though he slay me, yet will I look for him; because my ways are before him.
16. He also shall be my Saviour; for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
17. Listen diligently to my speech, and I will relate my declaration in your presence.
18. Behold now, I am also pleading my cause; and I know that I am innocent.
19. Who is he that will contend with me? For now I will keep silent and be at rest.
20. Only two things do not let depart from me; then I will not turn aside from thee:
21. Do not withdraw thy help from me; and let not thy dread terrify me.
22. Then call thou me, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer thou me.
23. ¶ How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgressions and my sins.
24. Wherefore dost thou hide thy face from me, and considerest me as thine enemy?
25. Wilt thou tread upon a fallen leaf? And wilt thou pursue the dry grass in the air?
26. For thou decreest chastisement against me, and makest me remember the iniquities of my youth;
27. Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and watchest all my ways; thou seest the imprints of my feet.
28. Yet a man is like a worn-out waterskin, and a garment that is moth-eaten.
