Jobsbók 13
Icelandic Bible
13 Sjá, allt þetta hefir auga mitt séð og eyra mitt heyrt og sett það á sig.
2 Það sem þér vitið, það veit ég líka, ekki stend ég yður að baki.
3 En ég vil tala til hins Almáttka og mig langar til að þreyta málsókn við Guð.
4 Því að sannlega samtvinnið þér lygar og eruð gagnslausir gutlarar allir saman.
5 Ó að þér vilduð steinþegja, þá mætti meta yður það til mannvits.
6 Heyrið átölur mínar og hlustið á ásakanir vara minna.
7 Viljið þér mæla það, sem rangt er, Guði til varnar, og honum til varnar mæla svik?
8 Viljið þér draga taum hans, eða viljið þér taka málstað Guðs?
9 Ætli það fari vel, þegar hann rannsakar yður, eða ætlið þér að leika á hann, eins og leikið er á menn?
10 Nei, hegna, hegna mun hann yður, ef þér eruð hlutdrægir í leyni.
11 Hátign hans mun skelfa yður, og ógn hans mun falla yfir yður.
12 Spakmæli yðar eru ösku-orðskviðir, vígi yðar eru leirvígi.
13 Þegið og látið mig í friði, þá mun ég mæla, og komi yfir mig hvað sem vill.
14 Ég stofna sjálfum mér í hættu og legg lífið undir.
15 Sjá, hann mun deyða mig _ ég bíð hans, aðeins vil ég verja breytni mína fyrir augliti hans.
16 Það skal og verða mér til sigurs, því að guðlaus maður kemur ekki fyrir auglit hans.
17 Hlýðið því gaumgæfilega á ræðu mína, og vörn mín gangi yður í eyru.
18 Sjá, ég hefi undirbúið málið, ég veit, að ég verð dæmdur sýkn.
19 Hver er sá, er deila vilji við mig? þá skyldi ég þegja og gefa upp andann.
20 Tvennt mátt þú, Guð, ekki við mig gjöra, þá skal ég ekki fela mig fyrir augliti þínu.
21 Tak hönd þína burt frá mér, og lát ekki skelfing þína hræða mig.
22 Kalla því næst, og mun ég svara, eða ég skal tala, og veit þú mér andsvör í móti.
23 Hversu margar eru þá misgjörðir mínar og syndir? Kunngjör mér afbrot mín og synd mína!
24 Hvers vegna byrgir þú auglit þitt og ætlar, að ég sé óvinur þinn?
25 Ætlar þú að skelfa vindþyrlað laufblað og ofsækja þurrt hálmstrá,
26 er þú dæmir mér beiskar kvalir og lætur mig erfa misgjörðir æsku minnar,
27 er þú setur fætur mína í stokk og aðgætir alla vegu mína og markar hring kringum iljar mínar?
28 _ Þessi maður dettur þó sundur eins og maðksmoginn viður, eins og möletið fat.
Job 13
New International Version
Job 13
New International Version
13 “My eyes have seen all this,(A)
my ears have heard and understood it.
2 What you know, I also know;
I am not inferior to you.(B)
3 But I desire to speak to the Almighty(C)
and to argue my case with God.(D)
4 You, however, smear me with lies;(E)
you are worthless physicians,(F) all of you!(G)
5 If only you would be altogether silent!(H)
For you, that would be wisdom.(I)
6 Hear now my argument;
listen to the pleas of my lips.(J)
7 Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf?
Will you speak deceitfully for him?(K)
8 Will you show him partiality?(L)
Will you argue the case for God?
9 Would it turn out well if he examined you?(M)
Could you deceive him as you might deceive a mortal?(N)
10 He would surely call you to account
if you secretly showed partiality.(O)
11 Would not his splendor(P) terrify you?
Would not the dread of him fall on you?(Q)
12 Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.(R)
13 “Keep silent(S) and let me speak;(T)
then let come to me what may.(U)
14 Why do I put myself in jeopardy
and take my life in my hands?(V)
15 Though he slay me, yet will I hope(W) in him;(X)
I will surely[a] defend my ways to his face.(Y)
16 Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance,(Z)
for no godless(AA) person would dare come before him!(AB)
17 Listen carefully to what I say;(AC)
let my words ring in your ears.
18 Now that I have prepared my case,(AD)
I know I will be vindicated.(AE)
19 Can anyone bring charges against me?(AF)
If so, I will be silent(AG) and die.(AH)
20 “Only grant me these two things, God,
and then I will not hide from you:
21 Withdraw your hand(AI) far from me,
and stop frightening me with your terrors.(AJ)
22 Then summon me and I will answer,(AK)
or let me speak, and you reply to me.(AL)
23 How many wrongs and sins have I committed?(AM)
Show me my offense and my sin.(AN)
24 Why do you hide your face(AO)
and consider me your enemy?(AP)
25 Will you torment(AQ) a windblown leaf?(AR)
Will you chase(AS) after dry chaff?(AT)
26 For you write down bitter things against me
and make me reap the sins of my youth.(AU)
27 You fasten my feet in shackles;(AV)
you keep close watch on all my paths(AW)
by putting marks on the soles of my feet.

Job 13
King James Version
Job 13
King James Version
13 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.
2 What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.
3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.
4 But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.
5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.
6 Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
7 Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?
8 Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?
9 Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?
10 He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.
11 Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?
12 Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.
13 Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.
14 Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?
15 Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.
16 He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.
17 Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
18 Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.
19 Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
20 Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.
21 Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.
22 Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.
23 How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.
24 Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?
25 Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?
26 For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.
27 Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.
28 And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
