1"Behold,^H2005 my eye^H5869 has seen^H7200 all^H3605 [this,] My ear^H241 has heard^H8085 and understood^H995 it.
2"What^H1847 you know^H3045 I also^H1571 know.^H1847 I am not inferior^H5307 to you.
3"But I would speak^H1696 to the Almighty,^H7706 And I desire^H2654 to argue^H3198 with God.^H410
4"But you smear^H2950 with lies;^H8267 You are all^H3605 worthless^H457 physicians.^H7495
5"O^H4310 that you would be completely^H2790 silent,^H2790 And that it would become^H1961 your wisdom!^H2451
6"Please^H4994 hear^H8085 my argument,^H9640 And listen^H7181 to the contentions^H7379 of my lips.^H8193
7"Will you speak^H1696 what^H9390 is unjust^H9390 for God,^H410 And speak^H1696 what^H7423 is deceitful^H7423 for Him?
8"Will you show^H5375 partiality^H6440H5375 for Him? Will you contend^H7378 for God^H410?
9"Will it be well^H2896 when^H3588 He examines^H2713 you? Or^H518 will you deceive^H8524 Him as one deceives^H8524 a man^H582?
10"He will surely^H3198 reprove^H3198 you, If^H518 you secretly^H5643 show^H5375 partiality.^H6440H5375
11"Will not His majesty^H7613 terrify^H1204 you, And the dread^H6343 of Him fall^H5307 on you?
12"Your memorable^H2146 sayings^H2146 are proverbs^H4912 of ashes,^H665 Your defenses^H1354 are defenses^H1354 of clay.^H2563
13"Be silent^H2790 before^H4480 me so that I may speak;^H1696 Then let come^H5674 on me what^H4100 may.
14"Why^H5921H4100 should I take^H5375 my flesh^H1320 in my teeth,^H8127 And put^H7760 my life^H5315 in my hands^H3709?
15"Though^H2005 He slay^H6991 me, I will hope^H3176 in Him. Nevertheless^H389 I will argue^H3198 my ways^H1870 before^H413H6440 Him.
16"This^H1931 also^H1571 will be my salvation,^H3444 For a godless^H2611 man^H2611 may not come^H935 before His presence.^H6440
17"Listen^H8085 carefully^H8085 to my speech,^H4405 And let my declaration^H262 [fill] your ears.^H241
18"Behold^H2009 now,^H4994 I have prepared^H6186 my case;^H4941 I know^H3045 that I will be vindicated.^H6663
19"Who^H4310 will contend^H7378 with me? For then^H6258 I would be silent^H2790 and die.^H1478
20"Only^H389 two^H8147 things^H8147 do not do^H6213 to me, Then^H227 I will not hide^H5641 from Thy face: ^H6440
21Remove^H7368 Thy hand^H3709 from me, And let not the dread^H367 of Thee terrify^H1204 me.
22"Then call,^H7121 and I will answer;^H6030 Or^H176 let me speak,^H1696 then reply^H7725 to me.
23"How^H4100 many^H4100 are my iniquities^H5771 and sins^H9128? Make^H3045 known^H3045 to me my rebellion^H6588 and my sin.^H9128
24"Why^H4100 dost Thou hide^H5641 Thy face,^H6440 And consider^H2803 me Thine enemy^H340?
25"Wilt Thou cause^H6206 a driven^H5086 leaf^H5929 to tremble^H6206? Or wilt Thou pursue^H7291 the dry^H3002 chaff^H7179?
26"For Thou dost write^H3789 bitter^H4846 things^H4846 against^H5921 me, And dost make me to inherit^H3423 the iniquities^H5771 of my youth.^H5271
27"Thou dost put^H7760 my feet^H7272 in the stocks,^H5465 And dost watch^H8104 all^H3605 my paths;^H734 Thou dost set^H2707 a limit^H2707 for the soles^H8328 of my feet,^H7272
28While I am decaying^H1086 like a rotten^H7538 thing,^H7538 Like a garment^H899 that is moth-eaten.
