Job 13:1-5
1599 Geneva Bible
13 3 Job compareth his knowledge with the experience of his friends. 16 The penitent shall be saved, and the hypocrite condemned, 20 He prayeth unto God, that he would not handle him rigorously.
1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this: mine ear hath heard, and understood it.
2 I know also as much as you know: I am not inferior unto you.
3 But I will speak to the Almighty, and I desire [a]to dispute with God.
4 For indeed ye forge lies, and all you are [b]physicians of no value.
5 Oh, that you would hold your tongue, that it might be imputed to you for wisdom!
