Job Response – Job 13

You would smear me with lies, you are all worthless physicians all of you. If only you would altogether be silent! for you that would be wisdom.

What you know I also know, as I am not inferior to you. Will you speak deceitfully for him, will you argue a case for Yahweh? would it turn out well, if he examined you? could you deceive him as you deceive mortal men? Your maxims are proverbs of ashes, (Colossians 2:8 “Don’t let anyone capture you with empty philosophies and high-sounding nonsense that come from human thinking and from the spiritual powers of this world, rather than from Christ.”), your defenses are defence of clay (Daniel 2: 43 “And just as you saw the iron mixed with baked clay, so the people will be a mixture and will not remain united, any more than iron mixes with clay”).

why do I put my jeopardy and take my life in Yahweh’s hands. Though he slays me, I will yet hope in him. I have no defence of my ways to Yahweh. Indeed, this will turn out for my deliverance for no GODLESS Person WOULD DARE COME BEFORE ME! Listen carefully to what I say, let my words ring in your ears. Grant me only two things:

Yahweh and I will not hide my face from you.

Withdraw your hand far from me.

Then summon me and I will answer or let me speak and reply to me. Why then do you hide your face and consider me. why do you hide your face and consider me your enemy. Will-you torment a wind-blown leaf? FOR YOU WRITE BITTER things against me, YOU Fasten my feet in shackles, you keep close watch on all my paths by putting marks on the SOLES OF MY FEET.
