YLT
Young's Literal Translation
“Indeed
, my
eyes
have
seen
all this;
my
ears
have
heard and understood
.
Lo
, all --
hath
mine
eye
seen,
Heard hath
mine
ear,
and it
attendeth
to
it
.
What
you
know,
I also know;
I am not inferior
to
you.
According
to
your
knowledge
I have
known
--
also I .
I
am not fallen
more
than
you.
Yet I desire
to
speak
to
the Almighty
and argue my
case
before
God.
Yet I for
the Mighty
One
do
speak,
And to
argue for
God I
delight
.
You,
however
, smear
with
lies;
you
are all
worthless
physicians .
And
yet
, ye
`
are '
forgers
of
falsehood,
Physicians of
nought
--
all
of
you,
If
only
you
would remain
silent ;
for
that
would be your
wisdom !
O
that
ye
would keep
perfectly
silent ,
And
it
would be to
you
for
wisdom .
Hear now
my argument, and listen
to the plea
of my lips .
Hear ,
I
pray
you,
my argument, And to the pleadings
of my lips attend,
Will
you
speak
wickedly
on
God’s
behalf
or
speak deceitfully
for Him?
For
God
do
ye
speak perverseness?
And
for Him do
ye
speak
deceit
?
Would
you
show
Him
partiality
or
argue
in
His defense
?
His face
do
ye
accept,
if
for
God
ye
strive
?
Would
it be
well
when
He examined
you?
Could
you deceive
Him
like
a man?
Is
`
it '
good
that
He doth
search
you ,
If,
as
one
mocketh
at
a man ,
ye
mock
at
Him
?
Surely
He would
rebuke
you if you
secretly
showed
partiality
.
He doth
surely
reprove
you ,
if in
secret
ye
accept
faces
.
Would
His
majesty
not terrify you? Would
the
dread of
Him
not
fall upon you?
Doth
not His
excellency
terrify you? And
His
dread fall upon you?
Your maxims
are proverbs
of ashes ;
your
defenses
are
defenses
of clay.
Your remembrances
`
are '
similes
of ashes ,
For
high
places
of clay your
heights
.
Be
silent, and I will
speak .
Then
let
come
to
me what may.
Keep
silent from
me
, and I speak ,
And
pass
over
me doth
what ?
Why
do I put
myself
at
risk
and
take my life
in my own
hands
?
Wherefore
do I take my flesh
in my teeth
? And
my
soul
put
in
my
hand?
Though
He slay me ,
I
will
hope
in
Him.
I will
still
defend
my ways to
His face.
Lo,
He doth
slay me --
I wait
not!
Only,
my ways unto
His face I
argue
.
Moreover,
this
will
be
my
salvation, for no
godless
man
can
appear
before Him.
Also
--
He
`is'
to
me
for
salvation, For the
profane
cometh
not
before Him.
Listen
carefully
to
my words;
let
my declaration ring
in
your ears.
Hear
ye
diligently
my word,
And
my declaration with
your ears.
Behold
, now
that
I have prepared
my
case
, I know
that I will
be
vindicated
.
Lo
, I pray
you,
I
have set
in
order
the
cause
, I have
known
that I am
righteous
.
Can
anyone
indict
me? If
so,
I will
be
silent and die
.
Who
`is'
he
that
doth
strive
with
me? For
now
I keep
silent and gasp
.
Only grant
these
two things to
me
, so
that
I need
not hide
from
You:
Only two things, O
God,
do
with
me:
Then
from
Thy
face
I am
not hidden.
Withdraw
Your
hand from me, and do
not
let
Your
terror frighten
me.
Thy
hand put
far
off
from me, And Thy
terror let
not
terrify
me.
Then
call me
, and I will
answer, or let
me
speak, and You
can
reply
.
And
call Thou
, and I --
I
answer, Or --
I
speak, and answer
Thou
me
.
How many are
my
iniquities and sins? Reveal
to
me
my transgression and sin.
How many iniquities and sins have
I
? My transgression and my
sin let
me
know
.
Why do
You
hide Your
face and consider
me as
Your
enemy?
Why dost
Thou
hide Thy
face ?
And reckonest
me for
an
enemy to
Thee
?
Would
You
frighten
a windblown
leaf? Would
You
chase
after
dry chaff
?
A leaf driven
away
dost
Thou
terrify
? And
the
dry stubble
dost
Thou
pursue
?
For You
record
bitter
accusations
against me and bequeath
to
me the
iniquities of my youth .
For Thou
writest
against me bitter
things,
And causest
me to
possess
iniquities of my youth :
You
put
my
feet
in the stocks and stand
watch
over
all my paths ;
You
set
a
limit
for
the soles
of my feet .
And
puttest
in the stocks my
feet,
And observest
all my paths ,
On
the roots
of my feet Thou
settest
a
print,
So
man
wastes
away
like
something
rotten, like
a moth-eaten
garment.
And
he,
as
a
rotten thing
, weareth
away,
As
a garment hath
a
moth
consumed
him
.
