1“Hey, I [SYN] have seen everything that you have seen,
2What you know, I also know;
3But I would like to speak to Almighty God, not to you;
4As for you, you do not allow people to know the truth about me,
5I wish/desire that you would be silent;
6Listen to what I will say to you now;
7Are you telling lies about me to prove God is just in causing me to suffer?
8Are you trying to defend him?
9If he looks closely, will he find that everything that you have done is good?
10If you secretly say/do things to cause God to act favorably toward you,
11He will certainly [RHQ] cause you to be terrified by his power/greatness;
12The things that you say that you think are wise are as useless as [MET] as ashes;
13“So, be quiet and allow me to speak,
14I am ready to endure anything;
15If God kills me, then I will not have anyone else whom I can confidently expect to help me,
16No wicked/godless person would dare to stand in the presence of God,
17“God, listen very carefully to what I say [DOU].
18I am ready to prove that I am innocent,
19I certainly do not think [RHQ] that you or anyone else will say that what I say is not true;
20“I am requesting you to do two things for me;
21The first thing that I request is that you stop punishing [IDM] me;
22You speak first, and then I will reply;
23What have I done that is wrong? What sins have I committed?
24Why ◄do you refuse to be friendly with/have you abandoned► me [IDM]?
25I am as insignificant as [MET] a leaf that is blown by the wind;
26It seems that you are writing things to accuse me of doing things that are wrong,
27It is as though you have fastened my feet with chains to prevent me from walking,
28As a result, my body is decaying like [SIM] rotten wood,
