Job 13

1See, my eye has seen all this; 2What you know, the same I also know; 3However, I would rather speak with the Almighty; 4But you whitewash the truth with lies; 5Oh, that you would altogether hold your peace! 6Hear now my own reasoning; 7Will you speak unrighteously for God, 8Will you show him partiality? 9Will it be good for you when he searches you out? 10He would surely reprove you 11Will not his majesty terrify you, 12Your memorable sayings are proverbs made of ashes; 13Hold your peace, let me alone, so that I may speak, 14I will take my own flesh in my teeth; 15See, if he kills me, I will have no hope left; 16This will be the reason for my deliverance, 17God, listen carefully to my speech; 18See now, I have set my defense in order; 19Who is the one who would argue against me in court? 20God, do only two things for me, 21withdraw your oppressive hand from me, 22Then call me, and I will answer; 23How many are my iniquities and sins? 24Why do you hide your face from me 25Will you persecute a driven leaf? 26For you write down bitter things against me; 27You also put my feet in the stocks;
