1 “Behold, my iyan (eye) raah (see / saw) seen all this. My azan (ear) has shamai (hearken / hear) and bayan (between) it.
2 What you daith (know), I yadai (know) also. I am not napal (fall / be cast down) to you.
3 “Awalam (surely) I would dabar (word / matter) to the Shaday (). I chapatz (desire) to yakach (reason) with Al.
4 But you are tapalay (forgers) of shaqar (lies). You are all rapaay (physicians) of no alayal (value).
5 Oh that you would be completely charash (silent)! Then you would be wise.
6 Shamai (hearken / hear) now my thawakachah (reasoning). Listen to the rabawath (pleadings) of my shapah (lips).
7 Will you dabar (word / matter) iwal (unrighteously) for Al, and dabar (word / matter) deceitfully for him?
8 Will you show partiality to him? Will you rayab (contend) for Al?
9 Is it tawab (good / proper function) that he should chaqar (search) you out? Or as anawash (one) thahathalaw (deceives) a man, will you hathal (deceive) him?
10 He will yakach (surely) yakach (reprove) you if you secretly show partiality.
11 Shall not his majesty make you baith (afraid), And his pachad (fear / dread) napal (fall / be cast down) on you?
12 Your memorable sayings are proverbs of ashes, Your defenses are defenses of chamar (clay).
13 “Be charash (silent), leave me alone, that I may dabar (word / matter). Let ibar (pass over/through) on me what will.
14 Why should I nashaa (lift) my bashar (flesh) in my shan (teeth), and shawam (place / establish / appoint) my napash (soul) in my kap (hand)?
15 Han (behold), he will qatal (kill) me. I yachal (have) no hope. Nevertheless, I will yakach (maintain) my darak (ways) panayam (face) him.
16 This also shall be my yashawaih (salvation), that a godless man shall not bawaa (bring) panayam (face) him.
17 Shamai (hearken / hear) shamai (hearken / hear) my speech. Let my achawah (declaration) be in your azan (ear).
18 See now, I have irak (set) my cause in order. I yadai (know) that I am tzadaq (righteous / just / fair).
19 Who is he who will rayab (contend) with me? For then would I hold my charash (peace) and gawai (give) up the spirit.
20 “Only don't ishah (make) shanayam (two) things to me; then I will not sathar (hide) myself from your panayam (face):
21 Rachaq (withdraw) your kap (hand) rachaq (far) from me; and don't let your ayamah (terror) make me afraid.
22 Then qaraa (called), and I will inah (answer / respond); or let me dabar (word / matter), and you shawab (turn) me.
23 How many are my iwanawath (iniquities) and chataawath (sins)? Yadai (make) me know my disobedience and my chataah (sin).
24 Why sathar (hide) you your panayam (face), and chashab (hold) me for your ayab (enemy)?
25 Will you harass a nadap (driven) ilah (leaf)? Will you radap (pursue) the yabash (dry land) qash (stubble)?
26 For you kathab (write) mararah (bitter) things against me, and yarash (make) me inherit the iwanawath (iniquities) of my naiwar (youth):
27 You also shawam (place / establish / appoint) my ragal (feet / foot) in the sad (stocks), and shamar (keep/guard) all my arach (paths). You chaqah (set) a bound to the soles of my ragal (feet / foot),
28 Though I am decaying like a rotten thing, like a bagad (garment) that is ish (made) - akal (eat).
