Job 9 Verses
2
|
"Of course, I know that this is true. But how can a human being win an argument with God? |
3
|
Anyone who chose to argue with him could not answer one question in a thousand! |
4
|
God is so wise and powerful that no one could oppose him and survive. |
5
|
When God is angry, he moves mountains before they know what happened. |
6
|
He can shake the earth, and it will tremble down to its foundations. |
7
|
With one command he can stop the sun from rising. He can lock up the stars and keep them from shining. |
8
|
He alone made the skies, and he walks on the ocean waves. |
9
|
"God made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades. He made the planets that cross the southern sky. |
10
|
He does things too marvelous for people to understand. He does too many miracles to count! |
11
|
When he passes by, I cannot see him. He goes right past me, and I don't notice. |
12
|
If he takes something away, no one can stop him. No one can say to him, 'What are you doing?' |
13
|
God will not hold back his anger. Even Rahab's helpers are afraid of him. |
14
|
So I cannot argue with God. I would not know what to say to him. |
15
|
I am innocent, but I cannot give him an answer. All I can do is beg my Judge for mercy. |
16
|
Even if I called and he answered, I cannot believe he would listen to me. |
17
|
He would just send storms to crush me. He would give me more wounds for no reason. |
18
|
He would not let me catch my breath again. He would just give me more trouble. |
19
|
I cannot defeat God. He is too powerful! I cannot take him to court for justice. Who could force him to come? |
20
|
I am innocent, but anything I say makes me seem guilty. I am innocent, but if I speak, my mouth proves me wrong. |
21
|
I am innocent, but I don't know what to think. I hate my own life. |
22
|
So I say, 'Does it make any difference? God destroys the innocent as well as the guilty.' |
23
|
Does God just laugh when a disaster kills innocent people? |
24
|
Is it God who keeps the leaders from seeing when an evil person takes control? If it is not God, then who is it? |
25
|
"My days are passing faster than a runner. They are flying by without any joy. |
26
|
They go by as quickly as papyrus boats, as fast as an eagle swooping down on its prey. |
27
|
"I could say, 'I will not complain. I will forget my pain and put a smile on my face.' |
28
|
But the suffering still frightens me. I know that God will not see me as innocent. |
29
|
I will be found guilty, so why should I even think about it? |
30
|
Even if I scrubbed my hands with soap and washed myself whiter than snow, |
31
|
God would still push me into the slime pit, and even my clothes would hate to touch me. |
32
|
God is not a human like me, so I cannot argue with him. I cannot take him to court. |
33
|
I wish there were someone who could listen to both sides, someone to judge both of us in a fair way. |
34
|
I wish someone could take away the threat of God's punishment. Then he would not frighten me anymore. |
35
|
Then I could say what I want without being afraid of him. But I cannot do that now. |
