Hear diligently my speech, And let my declaration be in your ears.
This also shall be my salvation; For a godless man shall not come before him.
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I am righteous.
Hear now my reasoning, And hearken to the pleadings of my lips.
Hear diligently my speech; And let this be your consolations.
Oh that I had one to hear me! (Lo, here is my signature, let the Almighty answer me;) And that I had the indictment which mine adversary hath written!
Howbeit, Job, I pray thee, hear my speech, And hearken to all my words.
