Though, He does slay me – I wait! But I show my ways to be right before Him.
For You know that I am not wrong, and there is no one to deliver from Your hand.
Look, please, I have prepared my case, I know that I am in the right.
But I would speak to the Almighty, and I delight to reason with Ě
though no violence was on my hand, and my prayer sincere.
O that one might plead for a man with Eloah, as a man with his neighbour!
For He knows the way that I take. When He has tried me, I would come forth as gold.
Far be it from me that I grant that you are right. Until I die I would not turn aside my integrity from me.
“Should a reprover contend with the Almighty? Let him who reproves Eloah answer it.”
Would you also set aside My judgment? Would you pronounce Me wrong, and you be declared righteous?
My days are swifter than a weaver’s shuttle, and are spent without expectancy.
When I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I fear no evil. For You are with me; Your rod and Your staff, they comfort me.
By his own evildoing the wrong is thrust down, But the righteous has a refuge in his death.
And Yonah prayed to יהוה his Elohim from the stomach of the fish.
Yet I exult in יהוה, I rejoice in the Elohim of my deliverance.
that if our heart condemns us, Elohim is greater than our heart, and knows all.
