Job 9




gltv@Job:9:1 @ And answered and said:

gltv@Job:9:2 @ Truly I know it is so; but how can man be just with God?

gltv@Job:9:3 @ If he would argue with Him, he cannot answer Him one of a thousand.

gltv@Job:9:4 @ He is wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has been hard against Him, and been at peace?

gltv@Job:9:5 @ He who moves the mountains, and they do not know; when He overturns them in His anger;

gltv@Job:9:6 @ who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble;

gltv@Job:9:7 @ the One speaking to the sun, and it does not rise; and He sets a seal around the stars;

gltv@Job:9:8 @ stretching out the heavens by Himself, and walking on the waves of the sea;

gltv@Job:9:9 @ Who made the Bear, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south;

gltv@Job:9:10 @ who is doing great things past finding out; yea, marvelous things without number?

gltv@Job:9:11 @ Behold, He goes by me, and I do not see Him; and He passes on, but I do not perceive Him.

gltv@Job:9:12 @ Behold, He takes away; who can turn Him back? Who will say to Him, What are You doing?

gltv@Job:9:13 @ God will not withdraw His anger; the helpers of pride stoop under Him.

gltv@Job:9:14 @ How much less shall I answer Him, and choose my words with Him!

gltv@Job:9:15 @ Though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I seek mercy for my judgment.

gltv@Job:9:16 @ If I had called and He had answered me; I would not believe that He had listened to my voice;

gltv@Job:9:17 @ He who breaks me with a tempest, and adds to my wounds without cause;

gltv@Job:9:18 @ who will not allow me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

gltv@Job:9:19 @ If I speak of strength, behold, He is mighty; and if of judgment, who can summon me?

gltv@Job:9:20 @ If I justify myself, my mouth will condemn me; though I am perfect, He shall declare me perverse;

gltv@Job:9:21 @ though I were perfect, I would not know my own soul; I despise my life.

gltv@Job:9:22 @ It is One; so then I said He is consuming the perfect and the wicked.

gltv@Job:9:23 @ If the whip kills suddenly, He will mock at the testing of the innocent.

gltv@Job:9:24 @ The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?

gltv@Job:9:25 @ Now my days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they see no good;

gltv@Job:9:26 @ they have passed away like the reed ships; as an eagle swoops on food.

gltv@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will loosen my face and be cheerful,

gltv@Job:9:28 @ I am afraid of all my sorrows; I know that You will not hold me innocent;

gltv@Job:9:29 @ I have been condemned; why should I labor in vain?

gltv@Job:9:30 @ If I wash myself with snow, and make my hands clean with soap,

gltv@Job:9:31 @ yet You will plunge me into the ditch, and my own clothes would abhor me.

gltv@Job:9:32 @ For He is not a man, as I am, that I should answer Him; that we should come together in judgment;

gltv@Job:9:33 @ there is no mediator between us, who might lay his hand on both of us.

gltv@Job:9:34 @ Let Him take His rod away from me, and let not His dread make me afraid;

gltv@Job:9:35 @ then I would speak, and not fear Him; for I am not so in myself.
