1. Look, my eye has seen it all;my ear has heard and understood it.
2. Just as you know, I also know;I’m not inferior to you.
3. But I want to speak to the Almighty;I would gladly present my case to God.
4. You, however, are plasterers of lies;ineffective healers, all of you.
5. Would that you were completely quiet;that would be your wisdom.
6. Hear my teachingand pay attention to the arguments of my lips.
7. Will you speak injustice for God,speak deceit on his behalf?
8. Will you be partialor contend for God?
9. Will it go well when he searches you,or can you fool him as you fool people?
10. He will certainly correct youif you’ve been secretly partial.
11. Wouldn’t his majesty scare youand dread of him fall on you?
