Job 13:2
1 “Indeed, my eyes have seen all this; my ears have heard and understood.
What you know, I also know; I am not inferior to you.
3 Yet I desire to speak to the Almighty and argue my case before God.
4 You, however, smear with lies; you are all worthless physicians.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
