Job 9 Verses
2
|
"Indeed, I know that this is true. But how can a mortal be righteous before God? |
3
|
Though one wished to dispute with him, he could not answer him one time out of a thousand. |
4
|
His wisdom is profound, his power is vast. Who has resisted him and come out unscathed? |
5
|
He moves mountains without their knowing it and overturns them in his anger. |
6
|
He shakes the earth from its place and makes its pillars tremble. |
7
|
He speaks to the sun and it does not shine; he seals off the light of the stars. |
8
|
He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea. |
9
|
He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the constellations of the south. |
10
|
He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted. |
11
|
When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him. |
12
|
If he snatches away, who can stop him? Who can say to him,`What are you doing?' |
13
|
God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet. |
14
|
"How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him? |
15
|
Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy. |
16
|
Even if I summoned him and he responded, I do not believe he would give me a hearing. |
17
|
He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no reason. |
18
|
He would not let me regain my breath but would overwhelm me with misery. |
19
|
If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who will summon him? |
20
|
Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty. |
21
|
"Although I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life. |
22
|
It is all the same; that is why I say,`He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.' |
23
|
When a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks the despair of the innocent. |
24
|
When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it? |
25
|
"My days are swifter than a runner; they fly away without a glimpse of joy. |
26
|
They skim past like boats of papyrus, like eagles swooping down on their prey. |
27
|
If I say,`I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression, and smile,' |
28
|
I still dread all my sufferings, for I know you will not hold me innocent. |
29
|
Since I am already found guilty, why should I struggle in vain? |
30
|
Even if I washed myself with soap and my hands with washing soda, |
31
|
you would plunge me into a slime pit so that even my clothes would detest me. |
32
|
"He is not a man like me that I might answer him, that we might confront each other in court. |
33
|
If only there were someone to arbitrate between us, to lay his hand upon us both, |
34
|
someone to remove God's rod from me, so that his terror would frighten me no more. |
35
|
Then I would speak up without fear of him, but as it now stands with me, I cannot. |
