1 Truly, my eye has seen all this, word of it has come to my ear, and I have knowledge of it.
         
                                
                        2 The same things are in my mind as in yours; I am equal to you.
         
                                
                        3 But I would have talk with the Ruler of all, and my desire is to have an argument with God.
         
                                
                        4 But you put a false face on things; all your attempts to put things right are of no value.
         
                                
                        5 If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom!
         
                                
                        6 Give ear to the argument of my mouth, and take note of the words of my lips.
         
                                
                        7 Will you say in God's name what is not right, and put false words into his mouth?
