Job 13:1-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

1. All this my eye has seen;my ear has heard and perceived it.

2. What you know, I also know;I do not fall short of you.

3. But I would speak with the Almighty;I want to argue with God.

4. But you gloss over falsehoods,you are worthless physicians, every one of you!

5. Oh, that you would be altogether silent;that for you would be wisdom!

6. Hear now my argumentand listen to the accusations from my lips.

7. Is it for God that you speak falsehood?Is it for him that you utter deceit?

8. Is it for him that you show partiality?Do you make accusations on behalf of God?

9. Will it be well when he shall search you out?Can you deceive him as you do a mere human being?
