ASV

Lo, mine eye hath seen all [this], Mine ear hath heard and understood it.

ASV

What ye know, [the same] do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.

ASV

Surely I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.

ASV

But ye are forgers of lies; Ye are all physicians of no value.

ASV

Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it would be your wisdom.

ASV

Hear now my reasoning, And hearken to the pleadings of my lips.

ASV

Will ye speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for him?

ASV

Will ye show partiality to him? Will ye contend for God?

ASV

Is it good that he should search you out? Or as one deceiveth a man, will ye deceive him?

ASV

He will surely reprove you, If ye do secretly show partiality.

ASV

Shall not his majesty make you afraid, And his dread fall upon you?

ASV

Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defences are defences of clay.

ASV

Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak; And let come on me what will.

ASV

Wherefore should I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my life in my hand?

ASV

Behold, he will slay me; I have no hope: Nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.

ASV

This also shall be my salvation, That a godless man shall not come before him.

ASV

Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your ears.

ASV

Behold now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I am righteous.

ASV

Who is he that will contend with me? For then would I hold my peace and give up the ghost.

ASV

Only do not two things unto me; Then will I not hide myself from thy face:

ASV

Withdraw thy hand far from me; And let not thy terror make me afraid.

ASV

Then call thou, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and answer thou me.

ASV

How many are mine iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.

ASV

Wherefore hidest thou thy face, And holdest me for thine enemy?

ASV

Wilt thou harass a driven leaf? And wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?

ASV

For thou writest bitter things against me, And makest me to inherit the iniquities of my youth:

ASV

Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, And markest all my paths; Thou settest a bound to the soles of my feet:

ASV

Though I am like a rotten thing that consumeth, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
