Job 13:1-8 Holy Bible: Easy-To-Read Version (ETR)

1. “I have seen all this before. I have already heard everything you say. I understand all these things.

2. I know as much as you do. I am as smart as you are.

3. But I don’t want to argue with you. I want to speak to God All-Powerful. I want to argue with God about my troubles.

4. But you men try to cover up your ignorance with lies. You are like worthless doctors who cannot heal anyone.

5. I wish you would just be quiet. That would be the wisest thing you could do.

6. “Now, listen to my argument. Listen to what I have to say.

7. Will you speak lies for God? Do you really believe your lies are what God wants you to say?

8. Are you trying to defend God against me? You are not being fair. You are choosing God’s side simply because he is God.
