13:1 Lo, mine eye 5869 hath seen 7200 8804 all [this], mine ear 241 hath heard 8085 8804 and understood 995 8799 it.

13:2 What ye know 1847, [the same] do I know 3045 8804 also: I [am] not inferior 5307 8802 unto you.

13:3 Surely 199 I would speak 1696 8762 to the Almighty 7706, and I desire 2654 8799 to reason 3198 8687 with God 410.

13:4 But 199 ye [are] forgers 2950 8802 of lies 8267, ye [are] all physicians 7495 8802 of no value 457.

13:5 O that 5414 8799 ye would altogether 2790 8687 hold your peace 2790 8686! and it should be your wisdom 2451.

13:6 Hear 8085 8798 now my reasoning 8433, and hearken 7181 8685 to the pleadings 7379 of my lips 8193.

13:7 Will ye speak 1696 8762 wickedly 5766 for God 410? and talk 1696 8762 deceitfully 7423 for him?

13:8 Will ye accept 5375 8799 his person 6440? will ye contend 7378 8799 for God 410?

13:9 Is it good 2895 8804 that he should search you out 2713 8799? or as one man 582 mocketh 2048 8763 another, do ye [so] mock 2048 8762 him?

13:10 He will surely 3198 8687 reprove 3198 8686 you, if ye do secretly 5643 accept 5375 8799 persons 6440.

13:11 Shall not his excellency 7613 make you afraid 1204 8762? and his dread 6343 fall 5307 8799 upon you?

13:12 Your remembrances 2146 [are] like 4912 unto ashes 665, your bodies 1354 to bodies 1354 of clay 2563.

13:13 Hold your peace 2790 8685, let me alone, that I may speak 1696 8762, and let come 5674 8799 on me what [will].(Hold…: Heb. Be silent from me)

13:14 Wherefore do I take 5375 8799 my flesh 1320 in my teeth 8127, and put 7760 8799 my life 5315 in mine hand 3709?

13:15 Though 2005 he slay 6991 8799 me, yet will I trust 3176 8762 in him: but I will maintain 3198 8686 mine own ways 1870 before 6440 him.(maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue)

13:16 He also [shall be] my salvation 3444: for an hypocrite 2611 shall not come 935 8799 before 6440 him.

13:17 Hear 8085 8798 diligently 8085 8800 my speech 4405, and my declaration 262 with your ears 241.

13:18 Behold now, I have ordered 6186 8804 [my] cause 4941; I know 3045 8804 that I shall be justified 6663 8799.

13:19 Who [is] he [that] will plead 7378 8799 with me? for now, if I hold my tongue 2790 8686, I shall give up the ghost 1478 8799.

13:20 Only do 6213 8799 not two 8147 [things] unto me: then will I not hide 5641 8735 myself from thee 6440.

13:21 Withdraw 7368 0 thine hand 3709 far 7368 8685 from me: and let not thy dread 367 make me afraid 1204 8762.

13:22 Then call 7121 8798 thou, and I will answer 6030 8799: or let me speak 1696 8762, and answer 7725 8685 thou me.

13:23 How many [are] mine iniquities 5771 and sins 2403? make me to know 3045 8685 my transgression 6588 and my sin 2403.

13:24 Wherefore hidest 5641 8686 thou thy face 6440, and holdest 2803 8799 me for thine enemy 341 8802?

13:25 Wilt thou break 6206 8799 a leaf 5929 driven to and fro 5086 8737? and wilt thou pursue 7291 8799 the dry 3002 stubble 7179?

13:26 For thou writest 3789 8799 bitter things 4846 against me, and makest me to possess 3423 8686 the iniquities 5771 of my youth 5271.

13:27 Thou puttest 7760 8799 my feet 7272 also in the stocks 5465, and lookest narrowly 8104 8799 unto all my paths 734; thou settest a print 2707 8691 upon the heels 8328 of my feet 7272.(lookest…: Heb. observest)(heels: Heb. roots)

13:28 And he, as a rotten thing 7538, consumeth 1086 8799, as a garment 899 that is moth 6211 eaten 398 8804.
