3. Surely I would speak to Shaddai, and I desire to reason with El (G-d).

4. But ye are forgers of sheker, ye are all rofim (physicians) of no value.

5. O that ye would altogether hold your peace! And it should be your chochmah.

6. Hear now my tokhachat (protest, public argumentation), and pay heed to the pleadings of my lips.

7. Will ye talk wickedly on behalf of El (G-d) and speak deceitfully for Him?

8. Will ye be partial to Him? Will ye play the part of the defense attorney for El?

9. Is it hatov that He should search you out? Or do you play the jester with Him, as one plays the jester with enosh?

10. He will surely reprove you, if ye do act with partiality beseter (secretly).

11. Shall not His majesty make you afraid? And the pachad of Him fall upon you?
