Young's Literal Translation
Job, Chapter 13

   1: Lo, all -- hath mine eye seen, Heard hath mine ear, and it attendeth to it.
   2: According to your knowledge I have known -- also I. I am not fallen more than you.
   3: Yet I for the Mighty One do speak, And to argue for God I delight.
   4: And yet, ye [are] forgers of falsehood, Physicians of nought -- all of you,
   5: O that ye would keep perfectly silent, And it would be to you for wisdom.
   6: Hear, I pray you, my argument, And to the pleadings of my lips attend,
   7: For God do ye speak perverseness? And for Him do ye speak deceit?
   8: His face do ye accept, if for God ye strive?
   9: Is [it] good that He doth search you, If, as one mocketh at a man, ye mock at Him?
   10: He doth surely reprove you, if in secret ye accept faces.
   11: Doth not His excellency terrify you? And His dread fall upon you?
   12: Your remembrances [are] similes of ashes, For high places of clay your heights.
   13: Keep silent from me, and I speak, And pass over me doth what?
   14: Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth? And my soul put in my hand?
   15: Lo, He doth slay me -- I wait not! Only, my ways unto His face I argue.
   16: Also -- He [is] to me for salvation, For the profane cometh not before Him.
   17: Hear ye diligently my word, And my declaration with your ears.
   18: Lo, I pray you, I have set in order the cause, I have known that I am righteous.
   19: Who [is] he that doth strive with me? For now I keep silent and gasp.
   20: Only two things, O God, do with me: Then from Thy face I am not hidden.
   21: Thy hand put far off from me, And Thy terror let not terrify me.
   22: And call Thou, and I -- I answer, Or -- I speak, and answer Thou me.
   23: How many iniquities and sins have I? My transgression and my sin let me know.
   24: Why dost Thou hide Thy face? And reckonest me for an enemy to Thee?
   25: A leaf driven away dost Thou terrify? And the dry stubble dost Thou pursue?
   26: For Thou writest against me bitter things, And causest me to possess iniquities of my youth:
   27: And puttest in the stocks my feet, And observest all my paths, On the roots of my feet Thou settest a print,
   28: And he, as a rotten thing, weareth away, As a garment hath a moth consumed him.
