Job 13:1 (MSG) Message Bible

1 "Yes, I've seen all this with my own eyes, heard and understood it with my very own ears.
2 Everything you know, I know, so I'm not taking a back seat to any of you.
3 I'm taking my case straight to God Almighty; I've had it with you--I'm going directly to God.
4 You graffiti my life with lies. You're a bunch of pompous quacks!
5 I wish you'd shut your mouths-- silence is your only claim to wisdom.
6 "Listen now while I make my case, consider my side of things for a change.
7 Or are you going to keep on lying 'to do God a service'? to make up stories 'to get him off the hook'?
8 Why do you always take his side? Do you think he needs a lawyer to defend himself?
9 How would you fare if you were in the dock? Your lies might convince a jury--but would they convince God?
10 He'd reprimand you on the spot if he detected a bias in your witness.
11 Doesn't his splendor put you in awe? Aren't you afraid to speak cheap lies before him?
12 Your wise sayings are knickknack wisdom, good for nothing but gathering dust.
13 "So hold your tongue while I have my say, then I'll take whatever I have coming to me.
14 Why do I go out on a limb like this and take my life in my hands?
15 Because even if he killed me, I'd keep on hoping. I'd defend my innocence to the very end.
16 Just wait, this is going to work out for the best--my salvation! If I were guilt-stricken do you think I'd be doing this-- laying myself on the line before God?
17 You'd better pay attention to what I'm telling you, listen carefully with both ears.
18 Now that I've laid out my defense, I'm sure that I'll be acquitted.
19 Can anyone prove charges against me? I've said my piece. I rest my case.
20 "Please, God, I have two requests; grant them so I'll know I count with you:
21 First, lay off the afflictions; the terror is too much for me.
22 Second, address me directly so I can answer you, or let me speak and then you answer me.
23 How many sins have been charged against me? Show me the list--how bad is it?
24 Why do you stay hidden and silent? Why treat me like I'm your enemy?
25 Why kick me around like an old tin can? Why beat a dead horse?
26 You compile a long list of mean things about me, even hold me accountable for the sins of my youth.
27 You hobble me so I can't move about. You watch every move I make, and brand me as a dangerous character.
28 "Like something rotten, human life fast decomposes, like a moth-eaten shirt or a mildewed blouse.
1 Lo H2005 PART , mine eye H5869 CMS-1MS hath seen H7200 VQQ3FS all H3605 NMS this , mine ear H241 CFS-1MS hath heard H8085 VQQ3FS and understood H995 W-VQY3FS it .
2 What ye know H1847 K-CFS-2MP , the same do I H589 PPRO-1MS know H3045 VQY1MS also H1571 CONJ : I H595 PPRO-1MS am not H3808 NADV inferior H5307 VQPMS unto H4480 PREP-2MP you .
3 Surely H199 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS would speak H1696 VPY1MS to H413 PREP the Almighty H7706 EDS , and I desire H2654 VQY1MS to reason H3198 W-VHFA with H413 PREP God H410 EDS .
4 But H199 W-ADV ye H859 PPRO-2MS are forgers H2950 VQCMP of lies H8267 NMS , ye are all H3605 CMS-2MP physicians H7495 VQCMP of no value H457 AMS .
5 O that H4130 ye would H5414 VHFA altogether hold your peace H2790 VHI2MP ! and it should be H1961 W-VQI3FS your wisdom H2451 L-NFS .
6 Hear H8085 VQI2MP now H4994 IJEC my reasoning H8433 CFS-1MS , and hearken H7181 VHI2MP to the pleadings H7379 W-CMP of my lips H8193 CFD-1MS .
7 Will ye speak H1696 VPY2MP wickedly H5766 NFS for God H410 IL-NMS ? and talk H1696 VPY2MP deceitfully H7423 NFS for him ?
8 Will ye accept H5375 VQY2MP his person H6440 D-CMP-3MS ? will ye contend H7378 VQY2MP-3FP for God H410 L-NMS ?
9 Is it good H2896 I-NMS that H3588 CONJ he should search you out H2713 VQY3MS ? or H518 PART as one man H582 mocketh H2048 K-VHFC another , do ye so mock H2048 VHY2MP him ?
10 He will surely reprove H3198 VHFA you , if H518 PART ye do secretly H5643 BD-NMS accept H5375 VQY2MP-3FP persons H6440 NMP .
11 Shall not H3808 I-NADV his excellency H7613 CFS-3MS make you afraid H1204 VPY2FS ? and his dread H6343 W-CMS-3MS fall H5307 VQY3MS upon H5921 PREP-2MP you ?
12 Your remembrances H2146 CMP-2MP are like H4912 unto ashes H665 NMS , your bodies H1354 L-CMP to bodies H1354 CMP-2MP of clay H2563 NMS .
13 Hold your peace H2790 VHI2MP , let me alone H4480 M-PREP-1MS , that I H589 PPRO-1MS may speak H1696 W-VPI1MS , and let come H5674 W-VQY3MS on H5921 PREP-1MS me what H4100 IGAT will .
14 Wherefore H4100 IGAT do I take H5375 VQY1MS my flesh H1320 CMS-1MS in my teeth H8127 B-CMD-1MS , and put H7760 VQY1MS my life H5315 W-CFS-1MS in mine hand H3709 B-CFS-1MS ?
15 Though H2005 IJEC he slay H6991 VQY3MS-1MS me , yet will I trust H3176 VPY1MS in him : but H389 ADV I will maintain H3198 VHY1MS mine own ways H1870 NMP-1MS before H413 PREP him .
16 He H1931 PPRO-3MS also H1571 CONJ shall be my salvation H3444 L-NFS : for H3588 CONJ a hypocrite H2611 NMS shall not H3808 NADV come H935 VQY3MS before H6440 L-CMP-3MS him .
17 Hear diligently H8085 VQI2MP my speech H4405 CFS-1MS , and my declaration H262 W-CFD-1MS with your ears H241 B-CFD-2MP .
18 Behold H2009 IJEC now H4994 IJEC , I have ordered H6186 VQQ1MS my cause H4941 NMS ; I know H3045 VQY1MS that H3588 CONJ I H589 PPRO-1MS shall be justified H6663 VQY1MS .
19 Who H4310 IPRO is he H1931 PPRO-3MS that will plead H7378 VQY3MS with H5978 PREP-1MS me ? for H3588 CONJ now H6258 ADV , if I hold my tongue H2790 VHY1MS , I shall give up the ghost H1478 W-VQY1MS .
20 Only H389 ADV do H6213 VQI3FS not H408 two H8147 MFD things unto H5978 PREP-1MS me : then H227 ADV will I not H3808 NADV hide myself H5641 VNY1MS from M-CMP-2MS thee .
21 Withdraw H7368 VHI2MS thine hand H3709 CFS-2MS far from M-PREP-1MS me : and let not H408 ADV thy dread H367 W-CFS-2MS make me afraid H1204 VPY2MS-1MS .
22 Then call H7121 W-VQI2MS thou , and I H595 W-PPRO-1MS will answer H6030 VQY1MS : or H176 CONJ let me speak H1696 VPY1MS , and answer H7725 W-VHI2MS-1MS thou me .
23 How H4100 K-IGAT many are mine iniquities H5771 GMP and sins H2403 W-NFP ? make me to know H3045 VHI2MS-1MS my transgression H6588 CMS-1MS and my sin H2403 W-CFS-1MS .
24 Wherefore H4100 L-IGAT hidest H5641 VHY2MS thou thy face H6440 CMP-2MS , and holdest H2803 W-VQY2MS-1MS me for thine enemy H341 L-VQPMS ?
25 Wilt thou break H6206 VQY2MS a leaf H5929 D-NMS driven to and fro H5086 VNPMS ? and wilt thou pursue H7291 VQY2MS the dry H3002 AMS stubble H7179 NMS ?
26 For H3588 CONJ thou writest H3789 VQY2MS bitter things H4846 NFP against H5921 PREP-1MS me , and makest me to possess H3423 W-VHY2MS-1MS the iniquities H5771 GMP of my youth H5271 CMP-1MS .
27 Thou puttest H7760 W-VQI2MS my feet H7272 CFD-3MS also in the stocks H5465 BD-NMS , and lookest narrowly H8104 W-VQY2MS unto all H3605 NMS my paths H734 CFP-1MS ; thou settest a print H2707 VTY2MS upon H5921 PREP the heels H8328 CMP of my feet H7272 CFD-3MS .
28 And he H1931 W-PPRO-3MS , as a rotten thing H7538 K-NMS , consumeth H1086 VQY3MS , as a garment H899 K-NMS that is moth H6211 NMS eaten H398 VQQ3MS-3MS .
