¹ “My eyes have seen all this, my ears have heard and understood it. ² What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you. ³ But I desire to speak to the Almighty and to argue my case with God. ⁴ You, however, smear me with lies; you are worthless physicians, all of you! ⁵ If only you would be altogether silent! For you, that would be wisdom. ⁶ Hear now my argument; listen to the pleas of my lips. ⁷ Will you speak wickedly on God`s behalf? Will you speak deceitfully for him? ⁸ Will you show him partiality? Will you argue the case for God?
