Job Wants to Argue His Case with God
1“Look, I have seen all this with my own eyes
and heard it with my own ears, and now I understand.
2I know as much as you do.
You are no better than I am.
3As for me, I would speak directly to the Almighty.
I want to argue my case with God himself.
4As for you, you smear me with lies.
As physicians, you are worthless quacks.
5If only you could be silent!
That’s the wisest thing you could do.

ESVEnglish Standard Version
“Behold, my eye has seen all this,
my ear has heard and understood it.
What you know, I also know;
I am not inferior to you.
But I would speak to the Almighty,
and I desire to argue my case with God.
As for you, you whitewash with lies;
worthless physicians are you all.
Oh that you would keep silent,
and it would be your wisdom!

“My eyes have seen all this,
my ears have heard and understood it.
What you know, I also know;
I am not inferior to you.
But I desire to speak to the Almighty
and to argue my case with God.
You, however, smear me with lies;
you are worthless physicians, all of you!
If only you would be altogether silent!
For you, that would be wisdom.

CSBChristian Standard Bible
Look, my eyes have seen all this;
my ears have heard and understood it.
Everything you know, I also know;
I am not inferior to you.
Yet I prefer to speak to the Almighty
and argue my case before God.
You use lies like plaster;
you are all worthless healers.
If only you would shut up
and let that be your wisdom!

LEBThe Lexham English Bible
“Look, my eye has seen everything;
my ear has heard and has understood it.
What you know, I myself also know—
I am not more inferior than you.
But I would speak to Shaddai,
and I desire to argue with God.
“But you whitewash with lies;
all of you are worthless healers.
O that you would keep completely silent,
and that it would become wisdom for you.

KJV 1900King James Version
Lo, mine eye hath seen all this,
Mine ear hath heard and understood it.
What ye know, the same do I know also:
I am not inferior unto you.
Surely I would speak to the Almighty,
And I desire to reason with God.
But ye are forgers of lies,
Ye are all physicians of no value.
O that ye would altogether hold your peace!
And it should be your wisdom.
