Job 13:1-7 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?
