H2654If he will[H8799] H7378contend[H8800] H6030with him, he cannot answer[H8799] H259him oneH505of a thousand.
H559I will say[H8799] H433unto GodH7561, Do not condemn[H8686] H3045me; shew[H8685] H7378me wherefore thou contendest[H8799] with me.
H7378Shall he that contendeth[H8800] H7706with the AlmightyH3250instructH3198him ? he that reproveth[H8688] H433GodH6030, let him answer[H8799] it.
G3754ForG1437ifG2257ourG2588heartG2607condemn us[G5725] G3754,G2316GodG2076is[G5748] G3187greaterG2257than ourG2588heartG2532, andG1097knoweth[G5719] G3956all things.
G1437IfG2036we say[G5632] G3754thatG2192we have[G5719] G3756noG266sinG4105, we deceive[G5719] G1438ourselvesG2532, andG225the truthG2076is[G5748] G3756notG1722inG2254us.
G3304Nay butG5599, OG444manG5101, whoG1488art[G5748] G4771thouG470that repliest against[G5740] G2316GodG3361?G2046ShallG4110the thing formedG2046say[G5692] G4111to him that formed[G5660] G5101it, WhyG4160hast thou made[G5656] G3165meG3779thus?
H4557For innumerableH7451evilsH661have compassed[H8804] H5771me about: mine iniquitiesH5381have taken hold[H8689] H3201upon me, so that I am not able[H8804] H7200to look up[H8800] H6105; they are more[H8804] H8185than the hairsH7218of mine headH3820: therefore my heartH5800faileth[H8804] me.
H995Who can understand[H8799] H7691his errorsH5352? cleanse[H8761] H5641thou me from secret[H8737] faults .
H7378Why dost thou strive[H8804] H6030against him? for he giveth not account[H8799] H1697of any of his matters.
H6663If I justify[H8799] H6310myself, mine own mouthH7561shall condemn[H8686] H8535me: if I say, I am perfectH6140, it shall also prove me perverse[H8799] .
H6030How much less shall I answer[H8799] H977him, and choose out[H8799] H1697my words to reason with him?
H7378Who is he that will plead[H8799] H2790with me? for now, if I hold my tongue[H8686] H1478, I shall give up the ghost[H8799] .
H259OnceH1696have I spoken[H8765] H6030; but I will not answer[H8799] H8147: yea, twiceH3254; but I will proceed no further[H8686] .
H7760For he will not lay[H8799] H376upon manH1980more than right; that he should enter[H8800] H4941into judgmentH410with God.
