13:1 这一切，我眼都见过。我耳都听过，而且明白。
Lo, mine eye hath seen all this, mine ear hath heard and understood it.　

13:2 你们所知道的，我也知道，并非不及你们。
What ye know, the same do I know also: I am not inferior unto you.　

13:3 我真要对全能者说话。我愿与神理论。
Surely I would speak to the Almighty, and I desire to reason with God.　

13:4 你们是编造谎言的，都是无用的医生。
But ye are forgers of lies, ye are all physicians of no value.　

13:5 惟愿你们全然不作声。这就算为你们的智慧。
O that ye would altogether hold your peace! and it should be your wisdom.　

13:6 请你们听我的辩论，留心听我口中的分诉。
Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.　

13:7 你们要为神说不义的话吗，为他说诡诈的言语吗。
Will ye speak wickedly for God? and talk deceitfully for him?　

13:8 你们要为神徇情吗，要为他争论吗。
Will ye accept his person? will ye contend for God?　

13:9 他查出你们来，这岂是好吗。人欺哄人，你们也要照样欺哄他吗。
Is it good that he should search you out? or as one man mocketh another, do ye so mock him?　

13:10 你们若暗中徇情，他必要责备你们。
He will surely reprove you, if ye do secretly accept persons.　

13:11 他的尊荣岂不叫你们惧怕吗。他的惊吓岂不临到你们吗。
Shall not his excellency make you afraid? and his dread fall upon you?　

13:12 你们以为可记念的箴言是炉灰的箴言。你们以为可靠的坚垒是淤泥的坚垒。
Your remembrances are like unto ashes, your bodies to bodies of clay.　

13:13 你们不要作声，任凭我吧。让我说话，无论如何我都承当。
Hold your peace, let me alone, that I may speak, and let come on me what will.　

13:14 我何必把我的肉挂在牙上，将我的命放在手中。
Wherefore do I take my flesh in my teeth, and put my life in mine hand?　

13:15 他必杀我。我虽无指望，然而我在他面前还要辩明我所行的。
Though he slay me, yet will I trust in him: but I will maintain mine own ways before him.　

13:16 这要成为我的拯救，因为不虔诚的人，不得到他面前。
He also shall be my salvation: for an hypocrite shall not come before him.　

13:17 你们要细听我的言语，使我所辩论的入你们的耳中。
Hear diligently my speech, and my declaration with your ears.　

13:18 我已陈明我的案，知道自己有义。
Behold now, I have ordered my cause; I know that I shall be justified.　

13:19 有谁与我争论，我就情愿缄默不言，气绝而亡。
Who is he that will plead with me? for now, if I hold my tongue, I shall give up the ghost.　

13:20 惟有两件不要向我施行，我就不躲开你的面。
Only do not two things unto me: then will I not hide myself from thee.　

13:21 就是把你的手缩回，远离我身。又不使你的惊惶威吓我。
Withdraw thine hand far from me: and let not thy dread make me afraid.　

13:22 这样，你呼叫，我就回答。或是让我说话，你回答我。
Then call thou, and I will answer: or let me speak, and answer thou me.　

13:23 我的罪孽和罪过有多少呢。求你叫我知道我的过犯与罪愆。
How many are mine iniquities and sins? make me to know my transgression and my sin.　

13:24 你为何掩面，拿我当仇敌呢。
Wherefore hidest thou thy face, and holdest me for thine enemy?　

13:25 你要惊动被风吹的叶子吗。要追赶枯干的碎秸吗。
Wilt thou break a leaf driven to and fro? and wilt thou pursue the dry stubble?　

13:26 你按罪状刑罚我，又使我担当幼年的罪孽。
For thou writest bitter things against me, and makest me to possess the iniquities of my youth.　

13:27 也把我的脚上了木狗，并窥察我一切的道路，为我的脚掌划定界限。
Thou puttest my feet also in the stocks, and lookest narrowly unto all my paths; thou settest a print upon the heels of my feet.　

13:28 我已经像灭绝的烂物，像虫蛀的衣裳。
And he, as a rotten thing, consumeth, as a garment that is moth eaten.
