1 Here, all [is] seen my eye, my ear has heard and understood it.
2 What ye know, I know, and I'm not inferior to you.
3 But I would like to speak to the Almighty and I desire to reason with God.
4 And you spletchiki lie; all you useless physicians.
5 Oh, if you hold your peace! it would be [imputed] 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 Do you accept the person ought to be to Him, and contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out? Does His deceive a cheating man?
10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
eleven Shall He not make you afraid, and His dread fall upon you?
12 Your remembrances are like ashes; your strongholds - to bodies of clay.

13 Shut up before me, and I will say that whatever has befallen me.
14 Why do I take my flesh in my teeth and put my life in my hand?
15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust; I wish to maintain mine own ways before him!
16 And it is to justify me because hypocrite shall not come before him!
17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18 Here, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19 Who can challenge me? For I will soon be silent and emitted spirit.
20 Only two [things] do not do to me, and then I will not hide myself from thy face:
21 Remove far from me thy hand, and let not thy dread shocks me.
22 Then call, and I will answer, or let me speak, and answer thou me.

23 How many are mine iniquities and sins? Show me my transgression and my sin.
24 Why do you hide your face and consider me an enemy to you?
25 Do not leaf torn You sigh and stubble dry persecute?
26 For You write bitter and makest me to possess the sins of my youth,
27 and put in the stocks my feet, and laid wait for all my paths --gonishsya my feet on the trail.
28 And he, as a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.
