Job 13 — ENGLXXUP

13 Verse 1 Behold, mine eye has seen these things, ^{Verse 2} And I know all that ye too know; ^{Verse 3} Nevertheless I will speak to the Lord, ^{Verse 4} But ye are all bad physicians, ^{Verse 5} But would that ye were silent, ^{Verse 6} But hear ye the reasoning of my mouth, ^{Verse 7} Do ye not speak before the Lord, ^{Verse 8} Or will ye draw back? ^{Verse 9} For it were well if he would thoroughly search you: ^{Verse 10} He will not reprove you at all the less: ^{Verse 11} Shall not his whirlpool sweep you round, ^{Verse 12} And your glorying shall prove in the end to you like ashes, ^{Verse 13} Be silent, that I may speak, and cease from mine anger, ^{Verse 14} While I may take my flesh in my teeth, ^{Verse 15} Though the Mighty One should lay hand upon me, forasmuch as he has begun, ^{Verse 16} And this shall turn to me for salvation; ^{Verse 17} Hear, hear ye my words, ^{Verse 18} Behold, I am near my judgment: ^{Verse 19} For who is he that shall plead with me, ^{Verse 20} But grant me two things: ^{Verse 21} Withhold thine hand from me: ^{Verse 22} Then shalt thou call, and I will hearken to thee: ^{Verse 23} How many are my sins and my transgressions? ^{Verse 24} Wherefore hidest thou thyself from me, ^{Verse 25} Wilt thou be startled at me, as at a leaf shaken by the wind? ^{Verse 26} For thou hast written evil things against me, ^{Verse 27} And thou hast placed my foot in the stocks; ^{Verse 28} I am as that which waxes old like a bottle,
