1 Lo, mine eye 5869 hath seen 7200 all this, mine ear 241 hath heard 8085 and understood 995 it.
2 What ye know 1847, the same do I know 3045 also: I am not inferior 5307 unto you.
3 Surely 199 I would speak 1696 to the Almighty 7706, and I desire 2654 to reason 3198 with God 410.
4 But 199 ye are forgers 2950 of lies 8267, ye are all physicians 7495 of no value 457.
5 O that 5414 ye would altogether 2790 hold your peace 2790! and it should be your wisdom 2451.
6 Hear 8085 now my reasoning 8433, and hearken 7181 to the pleadings 7379 of my lips 8193.
7 Will ye speak 1696 wickedly 5766 for God 410? and talk 1696 deceitfully 7423 for him?
8 Will ye accept 5375 his person 6440? will ye contend 7378 for God 410?
9 Is it good 2895 that he should search you out 2713? or as one man 582 mocketh 2048 another, do ye so mock 2048 him?
10 He will surely 3198 reprove 3198 you, if ye do secretly 5643 accept 5375 persons 6440.
11 Shall not his excellency 7613 make you afraid 1204? and his dread 6343 fall 5307 upon you?
12 Your remembrances 2146 are like 4912 unto ashes 665, your bodies 1354 to bodies 1354 of clay 2563.
13 Hold your peace 2790, let me alone, that I may speak 1696, and let come 5674 on me what will.
14 Wherefore do I take 5375 my flesh 1320 in my teeth 8127, and put 7760 my life 5315 in mine hand 3709?
15 Though 2005 he slay 6991 me, yet will I trust 3176 in him: but I will maintain 3198 mine own ways 1870 before 6440 him.
16 He also shall be my salvation 3444: for an hypocrite 2611 shall not come 935 before 6440 him.
17 Hear 8085 diligently 8085 my speech 4405, and my declaration 262 with your ears 241.
18 Behold now, I have ordered 6186 my cause 4941; I know 3045 that I shall be justified 6663.
19 Who is he that will plead 7378 with me? for now, if I hold my tongue 2790, I shall give up the ghost 1478.
20 Only do 6213 not two 8147 things unto me: then will I not hide 5641 myself from thee 6440.
21 Withdraw 7368 0 thine hand 3709 far 7368 from me: and let not thy dread 367 make me afraid 1204.
22 Then call 7121 thou, and I will answer 6030: or let me speak 1696, and answer 7725 thou me.
23 How many are mine iniquities 5771 and sins 2403? make me to know 3045 my transgression 6588 and my sin 2403.
24 Wherefore hidest 5641 thou thy face 6440, and holdest 2803 me for thine enemy 341?
25 Wilt thou break 6206 a leaf 5929 driven to and fro 5086? and wilt thou pursue 7291 the dry 3002 stubble 7179?
26 For thou writest 3789 bitter things 4846 against me, and makest me to possess 3423 the iniquities 5771 of my youth 5271.
27 Thou puttest 7760 my feet 7272 also in the stocks 5465, and lookest narrowly 8104 unto all my paths 734; thou settest a print 2707 upon the heels 8328 of my feet 7272.
28 And he, as a rotten thing 7538, consumeth 1086, as a garment 899 that is moth 6211 eaten 398.
