Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.
Therefore, Job, I pray you, hear my speeches, and hearken to all my words.
Hear diligently my speech, and let this be your consolation.
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
He also shall be my salvation: for a hypocrite shall not come before him.
Behold now, I have prepared my case; I know that I shall be justified.
Oh that one would hear me! behold, my desire is, that the Almighty would answer me, and that my adversary had written a book.
