¹ Lo! mine eye, saith Job, hath seen all things, and mine ear hath heard; and I understood all things.

² Even with your knowing, also I know, and I am not lower than ye.

³ But nevertheless I shall speak to Almighty God, and I covet to dispute with God;

⁴ and first I show you makers of lies, and lovers or favourers of wayward teachings.

⁵ And I would, that ye were still, that ye were guessed to be wise men.

⁶ Therefore hear ye my chastisings; and perceive ye the doom of my lips.

⁷ Whether God hath need to your leasing, that ye speak guileful things [or treacheries] for him?

⁸ Whether ye take his face, and enforce or endeavour to deem for God?

⁹ Either it shall please him, from whom nothing may be hid? Whether he, as a man, shall be deceived by your falsenesses?

¹⁰ He shall reprove you; for ye take his face in huddles.

¹¹ Anon as he shall stir or move him, he shall trouble you; and his dread shall fall upon you.

¹² Your mind shall be comparisoned to ashes; and your nolls shall be driven down into clay.

¹³ Be ye still a little, that I speak, whatever thing my mind hath showed to me.

¹⁴ Why rend I my flesh with my teeth, and bear my life in mine hands?

¹⁵ Yea, though God slay me, I shall hope in him; nevertheless I shall prove my ways in his sight.

¹⁶ And he shall be my saviour; for why each hypocrite shall not come in his sight.

¹⁷ Hear ye my word, and perceive ye with [your] ears my dark and hard privy or hard figurative speeches.

¹⁸ If I shall be deemed, I know that I shall be found just [or rightwise].

¹⁹ Who is he that is deemed with me? Come he; why am I still, and am wasted?

²⁰ Do thou not to me two things only; and then I shall not be hid from thy face.

²¹ Make thine hand far from me; and thy dread make not me afeared.

²² Call thou me, and I shall answer thee; either certainly I shall speak, and thou shalt answer me.

²³ How great sins and wickednesses have I? Show thou to me my felonies, and my trespasses.

²⁴ Why hidest thou thy face, and deemest me thine enemy?

²⁵ Thou showest thy might against a leaf, that is ravished away with the wind; and thou pursuest dry stubble.

²⁶ For thou writest bitternesses against me; and wilt waste me with the sins of my young waxing age.

²⁷ Thou hast set [or put] my foot in a stock, and thou hast kept all my paths; and thou hast beheld the steps of my feet.

²⁸ And I shall be wasted as rot, and as a cloth, that is eaten of a moth.
