Job 9 Verses
1
|
Then Job answered and said: |
2
|
"Truly I know [it is] so, But how can a man be righteous before God? |
3
|
If one wished to contend with Him, He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand. |
4
|
God [is] wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened [himself] against Him and prospered? |
5
|
He removes the mountains, and they do not know When He overturns them in His anger; |
6
|
He shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble; |
7
|
He commands the sun, and it does not rise; He seals off the stars; |
8
|
He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea; |
9
|
He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south; |
10
|
He does great things past finding out, Yes, wonders without number. |
11
|
If He goes by me, I do not see [Him;] If He moves past, I do not perceive Him; |
12
|
If He takes away, who can hinder Him? Who can say to Him, 'What are You doing?' |
13
|
God will not withdraw His anger, The allies of the proud lie prostrate beneath Him. |
14
|
" How then can I answer Him, [And] choose my words [to reason] with Him? |
15
|
For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I would beg mercy of my Judge. |
16
|
If I called and He answered me, I would not believe that He was listening to my voice. |
17
|
For He crushes me with a tempest, And multiplies my wounds without cause. |
18
|
He will not allow me to catch my breath, But fills me with bitterness. |
19
|
If [it is a matter] of strength, indeed [He is] strong; And if of justice, who will appoint my day [in court?] |
20
|
Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me; Though I [were] blameless, it would prove me perverse. |
21
|
"I am blameless, yet I do not know myself; I despise my life. |
22
|
It [is] all one [thing;] Therefore I say, 'He destroys the blameless and the wicked.' |
23
|
If the scourge slays suddenly, He laughs at the plight of the innocent. |
24
|
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not [He,] who else could it be? |
25
|
"Now my days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they see no good. |
26
|
They pass by like swift ships, Like an eagle swooping on its prey. |
27
|
If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face and wear a smile,' |
28
|
I am afraid of all my sufferings; I know that You will not hold me innocent. |
29
|
[If] I am condemned, Why then do I labor in vain? |
30
|
If I wash myself with snow water, And cleanse my hands with soap, |
31
|
Yet You will plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes will abhor me. |
32
|
"For [He is] not a man, as I [am,] [That] I may answer Him, [And that] we should go to court together. |
33
|
Nor is there any mediator between us, [Who] may lay his hand on us both. |
34
|
Let Him take His rod away from me, And do not let dread of Him terrify me. |
35
|
[Then] I would speak and not fear Him, But it is not so with me. |
