13Job 13

1Behold my eye hath seen all these things, and my ear hath heard them, and I have understood them all.Select Job 13:1

2According to your knowledge I also know: neither am I inferior to you.Select Job 13:2

3But yet I will speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.Select Job 13:3

4Having first shewn that you are forgers of lies, and maintainers of perverse opinions.Select Job 13:4

5And I wish you would hold your peace, that you might be thought to be wise men.Select Job 13:5

6Hear ye therefore my reproof, and attend to the judgment of my lips.Select Job 13:6

7Hath God any need of your lie, that you should speak deceitfully for him?Select Job 13:7

8Do you accept this person, and do you endeavour to judge for God?Select Job 13:8

9Or shall it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? or shall he be deceived as a man, with your deceitful dealings?Select Job 13:9

10He shall reprove you, because in secret you accept his person.Select Job 13:10

11As soon as he shall move himself, he shall trouble you: and his dread shall fall upon you.Select Job 13:11

12Your remembrance shall be compared to ashes, and your necks shall be brought to clay.Select Job 13:12

13Hold your peace a little while, that I may speak whatsoever my mind shall suggest to me.Select Job 13:13

14Why do I tear my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands?Select Job 13:14

15Although he should kill me, I will trust in him: but yet I will reprove my ways in his sight.Select Job 13:15

16And he shall be my saviour: for no hypocrite shall come before his presence.Select Job 13:16

17Hear ye my speech, and receive with your ears hidden truths.Select Job 13:17

18If I shall be judged, I know that I shall be found just.Select Job 13:18

19Who is he that will plead against me? let him come: why am I consumed holding my peace?Select Job 13:19

20Two things only do not to me, and then from thy face I shall not be hid:Select Job 13:20

21Withdraw thy hand far from me, and let not thy dread terrify me.Select Job 13:21

22Call me, and I will answer thee: or else I will speak, and do thou answer me.Select Job 13:22

23How many are my iniquities and sins? make me know my crimes and offenses.Select Job 13:23

24Why hidest thou thy face, and thinkest me thy enemy?Select Job 13:24

25Against a leaf, that is carried away with the wind, thou shewest thy power, and thou pursuest a dry straw.Select Job 13:25

26For thou writest bitter things against me, and wilt consume me for the sins of my youth.Select Job 13:26

27Thou hast put my feet in the stocks, and hast observed all my paths, and hast considered the steps of my feet:Select Job 13:27

28Who am to be consumed as rottenness, and as a garment that is motheaten.Select Job 13:28
