Job 13

13"Look, my eye has seen all this, my ear has heard and understood it.H5869H7200H241H8085H9952What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.H1847H3045H53073But I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to argue my case with God.H199H1696H7706H2654H3198H4104As for you, you whitewash with lies; all of you are worthless physicians.H199H2950H8267H7495H4575If you would only keep silent, that would be your wisdom!H5414H2790H2790H24516Hear now my reasoning, and listen to the pleadings of my lips.H8085H8433H7181H7379H81937Will you speak falsely for God, and speak deceitfully for him?H1696H5766H410H1696H74238Will you show partiality toward him, will you plead the case for God?H5375H6440H7378H4109Will it be well with you when he searches you out? Or can you deceive him, as one person deceives another?H2895H2713H582H2048H204810He will surely rebuke you if in secret you show partiality.H3198H3198H5643H5375H644011Will not his majesty terrify you, and the dread of him fall upon you?H7613H1204H6343H530712Your maxims are proverbs of ashes, your defenses are defenses of clay.H2146H4912H665H1354H1354H256313"Let me have silence, and I will speak, and let come on me what may.H2790H1696H567414I will take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in my hand.H5375H1320H8127H7760H5315H370915See, he will kill me; I have no hope; but I will defend my ways to his face.H2005H6991H3176H3198H1870H644016This will be my salvation, that the godless shall not come before him.H3444H2611H935H644017Listen carefully to my words, and let my declaration be in your ears.H8085H8085H4405H262H24118I have indeed prepared my case; I know that I shall be vindicated.H6186H4941H3045H666319Who is there that will contend with me? For then I would be silent and die.H7378H2790H1478

Job’s Despondent Prayer

20Only grant two things to me, then I will not hide myself from your face:H6213H8147H5641H644021withdraw your hand far from me, and do not let dread of you terrify me.H7368H3709H7368H367H120422Then call, and I will answer; or let me speak, and you reply to me.H7121H6030H1696H772523How many are my iniquities and my sins? Make me know my transgression and my sin.H5771H2403H3045H6588H240324Why do you hide your face, and count me as your enemy?H5641H6440H2803H34125Will you frighten a windblown leaf and pursue dry chaff?H6206H5929H5086H7291H3002H717926For you write bitter things against me, and make me reap the iniquities of my youth.H3789H4846H3423H5771H527127You put my feet in the stocks, and watch all my paths; you set a bound to the soles of my feet.H7760H7272H5465H8104H734H2707H8328H727228One wastes away like a rotten thing, like a garment that is moth-eaten.H7538H1086H899H6211H398

Prayer Tents is a Christian mission organization that serves Christians around the world and their local bodies to make disciples ("evangelize") more effectively in their communities. Prayer Tents provides resources to enable Christians to form discipleship-focused small groups and make their gatherings known so that other "interested" people may participate and experience Christ in their midst. Our Vision is to make disciples in all nations through the local churches so that anyone seeking God can come to know Him through relationships with other Christians near them.
