Job 9

1Then Job^H347 answered^H6030 and said^H559, 2Of a truth^H551 I know^H3045 that it is so: But how can man^H582 be just^H6663 with God^H410? 3If he be^H2654 pleased to contend^H7378 with him, He cannot answer^H6030 him one^H259 of a thousand^H505. 4 He is wise^H2450 in heart^H3824, and mighty^H533 in strength^H3581: Who hath hardened^H7185 himself against him, and prospered^H7999?— 5 Him that removeth^H6275 the mountains^H2022, and they know^H3045 it not, When he overturneth^H2015 them in his anger^H639; 6That shaketh^H7264 the earth^H776 out of its place^H4725, And the pillars^H5982 thereof tremble^H6426; 7That commandeth^H559 the sun^H2775, and it riseth^H2224 not, And sealeth up^H2856 the stars^H3556; 8That alone stretcheth out^H5186 the heavens^H8064, And treadeth^H1869 upon the waves^H1116 of the sea^H3220; 9That maketh^H6213 the Bear^H5906, Orion^H3685, and the Pleiades^H3598, And the chambers^H2315 of the south^H8486; 10That doeth^H6213 great things^H1419 past^H369 finding out^H2714, Yea, marvellous^H6381 things without number^H4557. 11Lo, he goeth^H5674 by me, and I see^H7200 him not: He passeth on^H2498 also, but I perceive^H995 him not. 12Behold, he seizeth^H2862 the prey, who can hinder^H7725 him? Who will say^H559 unto him, What doest^H6213 thou? 13God^H433 will not withdraw^H7725 his anger^H639; The helpers^H5826 of Rahab^H7293 do stoop^H7817 under him. 14How much less shall I answer^H6030 him, And choose out^H977 my words^H1697 to reason with him? 15Whom, though I were righteous^H6663, yet would I not answer^H6030; I would make supplication^H2603 to my judge^H8199. 16If I had called^H7121, and he had answered^H6030 me, Yet would I not believe^H539 that he hearkened^H238 unto my voice^H6963. 17For he breaketh^H7779 me with a tempest^H8183, And multiplieth^H7235 my wounds^H6482 without cause^H2600. 18He will not suffer^H5414 me to take^H7725 my breath^H7307, But filleth^H7646 me with bitterness^H4472. 19If we speak of strength^H3581, lo, he is mighty^H533! And if of justice^H4941, Who, saith he, will summon^H3259 me? 20Though I be righteous^H6663, mine own mouth^H6310 shall condemn^H7561 me: Though I be perfect^H8535, it shall prove me perverse^H6140. 21I am perfect^H8535; I regard^H3045 not myself^H5315; I despise^H3988 my life^H5315. 22It is all one^H259; therefore I say^H559, He destroyeth^H3615 the perfect^H8535 and the wicked^H7563. 23If the scourge^H7752 slay^H4191 suddenly^H6597, He will mock^H3932 at the trial^H4531 of the innocent^H5355. 24The earth^H776 is given^H5414 into the hand^H3027 of the wicked^H7563; He covereth^H3680 the faces^H6440 of the judges^H8199 thereof: If it be not he, who^H645 then is it? 25Now my days^H3117 are swifter^H7043 than a post^H7323: They flee away^H1272, they see^H7200 no good^H2896, 26They are passed away^H2498 as^H5973 the swift^H16 ships^H591; As the eagle^H5404 that swoopeth^H2907 on the prey^H400. 27If I say^H559, I will forget^H7911 my complaint^H7879, I will put off^H5800 my sad countenance^H6440, and be of good cheer^H1082; 28I am afraid^H3025 of all my sorrows^H6094, I know^H3045 that thou wilt not hold me innocent^H5352. 29I shall be condemned^H7561; Why then do I labor^H3021 in vain^H1892? 30If I wash^H7364 myself with^H7950 snow water^H4325, And make my hands^H3709 never^H1252 so clean^H2141; 31Yet^H227 wilt thou plunge^H2881 me in the ditch^H7845, And mine own clothes^H8008 shall abhor^H8581 me. 32For he is not a man^H376, as I am, that I should answer^H6030 him, That we should come^H935 together^H3162 in judgment^H4941. 33There is^H3426 no umpire^H3198 betwixt us, That might lay^H7896 his hand^H3027 upon us both^H8147. 34Let him take^H5493 his rod^H7626 away^H5493 from me, And let not his terror^H367 make me afraid^H367: 35Then would I speak^H1696, and not fear^H3372 him; For I am not so in myself.
