== Iyov (Book of Job), Chapter 13 ==

<named id="1"/>1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.

<named id="2"/>2 What ye know, do I know also; I am not inferior unto you.

<named id="3"/>3 Notwithstanding I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with G-d.

<named id="4"/>4 But ye are plasterers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.

<named id="5"/>5 Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it would be your wisdom.

<named id="6"/>6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

<named id="7"/>7 Will ye speak unrighteously for G-d, and talk deceitfully for Him?

<named id="8"/>8 Will ye show Him favour? Will ye contend for G-d?

<named id="9"/>9 Would it be good that He should search you out? Or as one mocketh a man, will ye mock Him?

<named id="10"/>10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly show favour.

<named id="11"/>11 Shall not His majesty terrify you, and His dread fall upon you?

<named id="12"/>12 Your memorials shall be like unto ashes, your eminences to eminences of clay.

<named id="13"/>13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.

<named id="14"/>14 Wherefore? I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.

<named id="15"/>15 Though He slay me, yet will I trust in Him; but I will argue my ways before Him.

<named id="16"/>16 This also shall be my salvation, that a hypocrite cannot come before Him.

<named id="17"/>17 Hear diligently my speech, and let my declaration be in your ears.

<named id="18"/>18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.

<named id="19"/>19 Who is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and die.

<named id="20"/>20 Only do not two things unto me, then will I not hide myself from Thee:

<named id="21"/>21 Withdraw Thy hand far from me; and let not Thy terror make me afraid.

<named id="22"/>22 Then call Thou, and I will answer; or let me speak, and answer Thou me.

<named id="23"/>23 How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.

<named id="24"/>24 Wherefore hidest Thou Thy face, and holdest me for Thine enemy?

<named id="25"/>25 Wilt Thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt Thou pursue the dry stubble?

<named id="26"/>26 That Thou shouldest write bitter things against me, and make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth.

<named id="27"/>27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; Thou drawest Thee a line about the soles of my feet;

<named id="28"/>28 Though I am like a wine-skin that consumeth, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
