If thou hast any thing to say, answer me: speak, for I desire to justify thee.
Behold now, I have ordered {my} cause; I know that I shall be justified.
Now he hath not directed {his} words against me: neither will I answer him with your speeches. {directed: or, ordered}
So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he {was} righteous in his own eyes. {to...: Heb. from answering}
I would order {my} cause before him, and fill my mouth with arguments.
Yea, I attended unto you, and, behold, {there was} none of you that convinced Job, {or} that answered his words:
But Peter took him up, saying, Stand up; I myself also am a man.
These {things} hast thou done, and I kept silence; thou thoughtest that I was altogether {such an one} as thyself: {but} I will reprove thee, and set {them} in order before thine eyes.
If {I speak} of strength, lo, {he is} strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time {to plead}?
How much less shall I answer him, {and} choose out my words {to reason} with him?
Who {is} he {that} will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.
{Should it be} according to thy mind? he will recompense it, whether thou refuse, or whether thou choose; and not I: therefore speak what thou knowest. {according...: Heb. from with thee?}
