Job 13 — Douay-Rheims Bible

Behold my eye hath seen all these things, and my ear hath heard them, and I have understood them all.● According to your knowledge I also know: neither am I inferior to you.● But yet I will speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.● Having first shewn that you are forgers of lies, and maintainers of perverse opinions.● And I wish you would hold your peace, that you might be thought to be wise men.● Hear ye therefore my reproof, and attend to the judgment of my lips.● Hath God any need of your lie, that you should speak deceitfully for him?● Do you accept this person, and do you endeavour to judge for God?● Or shall it please him, from whom nothing can be concealed? or shall he be deceived as a man, with your deceitful dealings?● He shall reprove you, because in secret you accept his person.● As soon as he shall move himself, he shall trouble you: and his dread shall fall upon you.● Your remembrance shall be compared to ashes, and your necks shall be brought to clay.● Hold your peace a little while, that I may speak whatsoever my mind shall suggest to me.● Why do I tear my flesh with my teeth, and carry my soul in my hands?● Although he should kill me, I will trust in him: but yet I will reprove my ways in his sight.● And he shall be my saviour: for no hypocrite shall come before his presence.● Hear ye my speech, and receive with your ears hidden truths.● If I shall be judged, I know that I shall be found just.● Who is he that will plead against me? let him come: why am I consumed holding my peace?● Two things only do not to me, and then from thy face I shall not be hid:● Withdraw thy hand far from me, and let not thy dread terrify me.● Call me, and I will answer thee: or else I will speak, and do thou answer me.● How many are my iniquities and sins? make me know my crimes and offenses.● Why hidest thou thy face, and thinkest me thy enemy?● Against a leaf, that is carried away with the wind, thou shewest thy power, and thou pursuest a dry straw.● For thou writest bitter things against me, and wilt consume me for the sins of my youth.● Thou hast put my feet in the stocks, and hast observed all my paths, and hast considered the steps of my feet:● Who am to be consumed as rottenness, and as a garment that is motheaten.●
