1	Lo, mine eye hath seen# all this , mine ear hath heard# and understood# it.
			2	What ye know, the same do I know# also: I am not inferior# unto you.
			3	Surely I would speak# to the Almighty, and I desire# to reason# with God.
			4	But ye are forgers# of lies, ye are all physicians# of no value.
			5	O that# ye would altogether# hold your peace# ! and it should be your wisdom.
			6	Hear# now my reasoning, and hearken# to the pleadings of my lips.
			7	Will ye speak# wickedly for God? and talk# deceitfully for him?
			8	Will ye accept# his person? will ye contend# for God?
			9	Is it good# that he should search you out# ? or as one man mocketh# another, do ye so mock# him?
			10	He will surely# reprove# you, if ye do secretly accept# persons.
			11	Shall not his excellency make you afraid# ? and his dread fall# upon you?
			12	Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
			13	Hold your peace# , let me alone, that I may speak# , and let come# on me what will . [Hold...: Heb. Be silent from me]
			14	Wherefore do I take# my flesh in my teeth, and put# my life in mine hand?
			15	Though he slay# me, yet will I trust# in him: but I will maintain# mine own ways before him. [maintain: Heb. prove, or, argue]
			16	He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come# before him.
			17	Hear# diligently# my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
			18	Behold now, I have ordered# my cause; I know# that I shall be justified# .
			19	Who is he that will plead# with me? for now, if I hold my tongue# , I shall give up the ghost# .
			20	Only do# not two things unto me: then will I not hide# myself from thee.
			21	Withdraw# thine hand far# from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid# .
			22	Then call# thou, and I will answer# : or let me speak# , and answer# thou me.
			23	How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know# my transgression and my sin.
			24	Wherefore hidest# thou thy face, and holdest# me for thine enemy# ?
			25	Wilt thou break# a leaf driven to and fro# ? and wilt thou pursue# the dry stubble?
			26	For thou writest# bitter things against me, and makest me to possess# the iniquities of my youth.
			27	Thou puttest# my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly# unto all my paths; thou settest a print# upon the heels of my feet. [lookest...: Heb. observest] [heels: Heb. roots]
			28	And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth# , as a garment that is moth eaten# .
