Job 13 - UPDV Updated Bible Version

^13:1 Look, my eye has seen all [this], My ear has heard and understood it.
^13:2 What you⁺ know, [the same] do I know also: I am not inferior to you⁺.
^13:3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to reason with God.
^13:4 But you⁺ are forgers of lies; You⁺ are all physicians of no value.
^13:5 Oh that you⁺ would altogether hold your⁺ peace! And it would be your⁺ wisdom.
^13:6 Hear now my reasoning, And listen to the pleadings of my lips.
^13:7 Will you⁺ speak unrighteously for God, And talk deceitfully for him?
^13:8 Will you⁺ show partiality to him? Will you⁺ contend for God?
^13:9 Is it good that he should search you⁺ out? Or as one deceives common man, will you⁺ deceive him?
^13:10 He will surely reprove you⁺, If you⁺ secretly show partiality.
^13:11 Will not his splendor make you⁺ afraid, And his dread fall on you⁺?
^13:12 Your⁺ memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your⁺ defenses are defenses of clay.
^13:13 Listen⁺ to me silently, that I may speak; And let come upon me what will.
^13:14 Why should I take my flesh in my teeth, And put my soul in my hand?
^13:15 Look, he will slay me; I have no hope: Nevertheless I will maintain my ways before him.
^13:16 This also will be my salvation, That a godless man will not come before him.
^13:17 Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your⁺ ears.
^13:18 Look now, I have set my cause in order; I know that I am righteous.
^13:19 Who is he that will contend with me? For then I would hold my peace and give up the ghost.
^13:20 Only don't do two things to me; Then I will not hide myself from your face:
^13:21 Withdraw your hand far from me; And don't let your terror make me afraid.
^13:22 Then call, and I will answer; Or let me speak, and answer me.
^13:23 How many are my iniquities and sins? Make me to know my transgression and my sin.
^13:24 Why do you hide your face, And hold me for your enemy?
^13:25 Will you harass a driven leaf? And will you pursue the dry stubble?
^13:26 For you write bitter things against me, And make me to inherit the iniquities of my youth:
^13:27 You put my feet also in the stocks, And mark all my paths; You set a bound to the soles of my feet:
^13:28 Though I am like a rotten thing that consumes, Like a garment that is moth-eaten.
