Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:1 - Then Job answered and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:2 -
Of a truth I know that it is so:
But how can man be just with God?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:3 -
If he be pleased to contend with him,
He cannot answer him one of a thousand.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:4 -
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength:
Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?—
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:5 -
Him that removeth the mountains, and they know it not,
When he overturneth them in his anger;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:6 -
That shaketh the earth out of its place,
And the pillars thereof tremble;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:7 -
That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not,
And sealeth up the stars;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:8 -
That alone stretcheth out the heavens,
And treadeth upon the waves of the sea;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:9 -
That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades,
And the chambers of the south;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:10 -
That doeth great things past finding out,
Yea, marvellous things without number.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:11 -
Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not:
He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:12 -
Behold, he seizeth the prey, who can hinder him?
Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:13 -
God will not withdraw his anger;
The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:14 -
How much less shall I answer him,
And choose out my words to reason with him?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:15 -
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer;
I would make supplication to my judge.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:16 -
If I had called, and he had answered me,
Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:17 -
For he breaketh me with a tempest,
And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:18 -
He will not suffer me to take my breath,
But filleth me with bitterness.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:19 -
If we speak of strength, lo, he is mighty!
And if of justice, Who, saith he, will summon me?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:20 -
Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me:
Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:21 -
I am perfect; I regard not myself;
I despise my life.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:22 -
It is all one; therefore I say,
He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:23 -
If the scourge slay suddenly,
He will mock at the trial of the innocent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:24 -
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked;
He covereth the faces of the judges thereof:
If it be not he, who then is it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:25 -
Now my days are swifter than a post:
They flee away, they see no good.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:26 -
They are passed away as the swift ships;
As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:27 -
If I say, I will forget my complaint,
I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:28 -
I am afraid of all my sorrows,
I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:29 -
I shall be condemned;
Why then do I labor in vain?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:30 -
If I wash myself with snow water,
And make my hands never so clean;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:31 -
Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch,
And mine own clothes shall abhor me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:32 -
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him,
That we should come together in judgment.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:33 -
There is no umpire betwixt us,
That might lay his hand upon us both.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:34 -
Let him take his rod away from me,
And let not his terror make me afraid:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 9:35 -
Then would I speak, and not fear him;
For I am not so in myself.
