New Testament

Iyov 13:6-14 Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB)

6. Hear now my tokhachat (protest, public argumentation), and pay heed to the pleadings of my lips.

7. Will ye talk wickedly on behalf of El (G-d) and speak deceitfully for Him?

8. Will ye be partial to Him? Will ye play the part of the defense attorney for El?

9. Is it hatov that He should search you out? Or do you play the jester with Him, as one plays the jester with enosh?

10. He will surely reprove you, if ye do act with partiality beseter (secretly).

11. Shall not His majesty make you afraid? And the pachad of Him fall upon you?

12. Your zichron meshalim (memorable sayings) are like unto ashes, your defenses are strongholds of chomer (clay).

13. Hold your peace, let me alone, that Ani (I) may speak, and let come on me what will.

14. Why do I take my basar in my teeth, and take my nefesh in mine yad?
