13:1 “Indeed, my eyes have seen all this, 2
my ears have heard and understood it.
13:2 What you know, 3 I 4 know also;
I am not inferior 5 to you!
13:3 But I wish to speak 6 to the Almighty, 7
and I desire to argue 8 my case 9 with God.
13:4 But you, however, are inventors of lies; 10
all of you are worthless physicians! 11
13:5 If only you would keep completely silent! 12
For you, that would be wisdom. 13
13:6 “Listen now to my argument, 14
and be attentive to my lips’ contentions. 15
13:7 Will you speak wickedly 16 on God’s behalf? 17
Will you speak deceitfully for him?
13:8 Will you show him partiality? 18
Will you argue the case 19 for God?
13:9 Would it turn out well if he would examine 20 you?
Or as one deceives 21 a man would you deceive him?
