1 “My eyes have seen all this,

my ears have heard and understood it.

2 What you know, I also know;

I am not inferior to you.

3 But I desire to speak to the Almighty

and to argue my case with God.

4 You, however, smear me with lies;

you are worthless physicians, all of you!

5 If only you would be altogether silent!

For you, that would be wisdom.

1 “Behold, my eye has seen all this,

my ear has heard and understood it.

2 What you know, I also know;

I am not inferior to you.

3 But I would speak to the Almighty,

and I desire to argue my case with God.

4 As for you, you whitewash with lies;

worthless physicians are you all.

5 Oh that you would keep silent,

and it would be your wisdom!

1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this,

Mine ear hath heard and understood it.

2 What ye know, the same do I know also:

I am not inferior unto you.

3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty,

And I desire to reason with God.

4 But ye are forgers of lies,

Ye are all physicians of no value.

5 O that ye would altogether hold your peace!

And it should be your wisdom.

1 “Behold, my eye has seen all this, My ear has heard and understood it.

2 What you know, I also know;

I am not inferior to you.

3 But I would speak to the Almighty,

And I desire to reason with God.

4 But you forgers of lies,

You are all worthless physicians.

5 Oh, that you would be silent,

And it would be your wisdom!

1 “Now my eyes have seen all this;

my ears have heard and understood it.

2 What you know, I also know.

You are not better than I am.

3 But I want to speak to the Almighty

and to argue my case with God.

4 But you smear me with lies.

You are worthless doctors, all of you!

5 I wish you would just stop talking;

then you would really be wise!

1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this,

Mine ear hath heard and understood it.

2 What ye know, the same do I know also:

I am not inferior unto you.

3 Surely I would speak to the Almighty,

And I desire to reason with God.

4 But ye are forgers of lies;

Ye are all physicians of no value.

5 Oh that ye would altogether hold your peace!

And it would be your wisdom.

1 Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it. 2 What ye know, I know also: I am not inferior to you. 3 But I will speak to the Almighty, and will find pleasure in reasoning with •God; 4 For ye indeed are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value. 5 Oh that ye would be altogether silent! and it would be your wisdom.

1 “My eye has certainly seen all of this! 

My ear has heard and understood it. 

2 After all, I know it as well as you do. 

I am not inferior to you. 

3 However, I want to speak to the Almighty, 

and I wish to argue my case in front of God. 

4 But you are smearing me with lies. 

All of you are worthless physicians. 

5 I wish you would keep silent. 

For you, that would be wisdom. 

1 Look, my eyes have seen all this;

my ears have heard and understood it.

2 Everything you know, I also know;

I am not inferior to you.

3 Yet I prefer to speak to the Almighty

and argue my case before God.

4 But you coat the truth with lies;

you are all worthless doctors.

5 If only you would shut up

and let that be your wisdom!

1 “Look, my eye has seen all this,

my ear has heard and understood it.

2 What you know, I also know;

I am not inferior to you.

3 But I would speak to the Almighty,

and I desire to argue my case with God.

4 As for you, you whitewash with lies;

all of you are worthless physicians.

5 If you would only keep silent,

that would be your wisdom!

1 “Look, my eye has seen everything;

my ear has heard and has understood it.

2 What you know, I myself also know—

I am not more inferior than you.

3 But I would speak to Shaddai,

and I desire to argue with God.

4 “But you whitewash with lies;

all of you are worthless healers.

5 O that you would keep completely silent,

and that it would become wisdom for you.

1 “My eyes have seen everything God has done.

My ears have heard it and understood it.

2 What you know, I also know.

I’m as clever as you are.

3 In fact, I long to speak to the Mighty One.

I want to argue my case with God.

4 But you spread lies about me and take away my good name.

If you are trying to heal me,

you aren’t very good doctors!

5 I wish you would keep your mouths shut!

Then people would think you were wise.

1 “Behold, my eye has seen all this,

My ear has heard and understood it.

2 “What you know I also know;

I am not inferior to you.

3 “But I would speak to the Almighty,

And I desire to argue with God.

4 “But you smear with lies;

You are all worthless physicians.

5 “O that you would be completely silent,

And that it would become your wisdom!
