CHAP. XIII.
1 Iob reprooueth his friends of partialitie. 14 He professeth his confidence in God: 20 and entreateth to knowe his owne sinnes, and Gods purpose in afflicting him.
1Loe, mine eye hath seene all this, mine eare hath heard and vnderstood it.
2What yee know, the same doe I know also, I am not inferiour vnto you.
3Surely I would speake to the Almighty, & I desire to reason with God.
4But ye are forgers of lies, yee are all Physicians of no value.
5O that you would altogether hold your peace, & it should be your wisdome.
6Heare now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7Wil you speake wickedly for God? and talke deceitfully for him?
8Will ye accept his person? Will yee contend for God?
9Is it good that hee should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, doe ye so mocke him?
10He will surely reprooue you, if yee doe secretly accept persons.
11Shall not his excellencie make you afraid? and his dread fall vpon you?
12Your remembrances are like vnto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
13Hold your peace, let me alone that I may speake, and let come on me what will.13
14Wherefore doe I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
15Though hee slay mee, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintaine mine owne wayes before him.15
16Hee also shall be my saluation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
17Heare diligently my speach, and my declaration with your eares.
18Behold now, I haue ordered my cause, I know that I shall be iustified.
19Who is hee that will plead with me? for now if I hold my tongue, I shall giue vp the ghost.
20Only doe not two things vnto me: then will I not hide my selfe from thee.
21Withdrawe thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make mee afraid.
22Then call thou, and I will answere: or let me speake, and answere thou mee.
23How many are mine iniquities and sinnes? make mee to knowe my transgression, and my sinne.
24Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemie?
25Wilt thou breake a leafe driuen to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the drie stubble?
26For thou writest bitter things against mee, and makest me to possesse the iniquities of my youth.26
27Thou puttest my feete also in the stockes, and lookest narrowly vnto all my pathes; thou settest a print vpon the heeles of my feete.27
28And hee, as a rotten thing consumeth, as a garment that is moth-eaten.
