1Lo, mine eye hath seen all this,
2What ye know, the same do I know also:
3Surely I would speak to the Almighty,
4But ye are forgers of lies;
5Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace!
6Hear now my reasoning,
7Will ye speak unrighteously for God,
8Will ye show partiality to him?
9Is it good that he should search you out?
10He will surely reprove you,
11Shall not his majesty make you afraid,
12Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes,
13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak;
14Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth,
15Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope:
16This also shall be my salvation,
17Hear diligently my speech,
18Behold now, I have set my cause in order;
19Who is he that will contend with me?
20Only do not two things unto me;
21Withdraw thy hand far from me;
22Then call thou, and I will answer;
23How many are mine iniquities and sins?
24Wherefore hidest thou thy face,
25Wilt thou harass a driven leaf?
26For thou writest bitter things against me,
27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks,
28Though I am like a rotten thing that consumeth,
