        Job 13
      
    </p>

<p>

      
         1.  Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>2.  What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 3.  Surely I would speak to the almighty, and I desire to reason with God.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        4.  But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
      
    <br/>

      
         5.  O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
      
    <br/>

      
         6.  Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
      
    <br/>

      
         7.  Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
      
    <br/>

      
         8.  Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
      
    <br/>

      
         9.  Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so 
        mock him?
      
    <br/>

      
         10.  He will surely reprove you,
      
      
        <b> if ye do secretly accept persons.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         11.  Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
      
    <br/>

      
         12.  Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
      
    <br/>

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

      
         14.  Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>15.  Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways 
        before him.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 16.  He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         17.  Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
      
    <br/>

      
         18.  Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
      
    <br/>

      
         19.  Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the 
        ghost.
      
    <br/>

      
         20.  Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>21.  Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         22.  Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
      
    <br/>

      
        <b> 23.  How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my 
        sin.</b>
      
    <br/>

      
         24.  Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
      
    <br/>

      
         25.  Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
      
    <br/>

      
         
      
      
        <b>26.  For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess </b>
      
      
        <u><i><b>the iniquities of my youth.</b></i></u>
      
    <br/>

      
         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.
      
    <br/>

      
         28.  And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
      
    <br/>
