Bible in Basic English
"Give ear to the argument of my mouth, and take note of the words of my lips."
— Job 13:6, Bible in Basic English
“Hear now my reasoning, and hearken to the pleadings of my lips.”
But I would have talk with the Ruler of all, and my desire is to have an argument with God.
But you put a false face on things; all your attempts to put things right are of no value.
If only you would keep quiet, it would be a sign of wisdom!
Give ear to the argument of my mouth, and take note of the words of my lips.
Will you say in God's name what is not right, and put false words into his mouth?
Will you have respect for God's person in this cause, and put yourselves forward as his supporters?
Will it be good for you to be searched out by him, or have you the thought that he may be guided into error like a man?
