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,
5O that you would altogether hold your peace,
6Hear now my reasoning,
7Will you speak wickedly for God?
8Will ye accept his person?
9Is it good that he should search you out?
10He will surely reprove you,
11Shall not his excellency make you afraid?
12Your remembrances are like unto ashes,
13Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak,
14Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth,
15Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him:
16He also shall be my salvation:
17Hear diligently my speech,
18Behold now, I have ordered my cause;
19Who is he that will plead with me?
20Only do not two things unto me:
21Withdraw thine 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 break a leaf driven to and fro?
26For thou writest bitter things against me,
27Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks,
28And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth,
