Job 9




rotherham@Job:9:1 @ Then responded Job, and said

rotherham@Job:9:2 @ Of a truth, I know that so it is, But how can a mortal be just with GOD?

rotherham@Job:9:3 @ If he choose to contend with him, he cannot answer him, one of a thousand:

rotherham@Job:9:4 @ Wise in heart, and alert in vigour, What man hath hardened himself against him, and prospered!

rotherham@Job:9:5 @ Who removeth mountains, unawares, Who overturneth them in his anger;

rotherham@Job:9:6 @ Who shaketh the earth, out of its place, and, the pillars thereof, shudder;

rotherham@Job:9:7 @ Who commandeth the sun, and it breaketh not forth, and, about the stars, he putteth a seal;

rotherham@Job:9:8 @ Who spreadeth out fire heavens, by himself alone! and marcheth along, on the heights of the sea;

rotherham@Job:9:9 @ Who made the Bear, the Giant and the Cluster, and the chambers of the south;

rotherham@Job:9:10 @ Who doeth great things, past finding out, and marvels, beyond number.

rotherham@Job:9:11 @ Lo! he cometh upon me, yet can I not see him, Yea he passeth on, yet can I not discern him.

rotherham@Job:9:12 @ Lo! he snatcheth away, who can bring it back? Who shall say unto him, What wouldst thou do?

rotherham@Job:9:13 @ As for GOD, if he withdraw not his anger, under him, will have submitted themselvesthe proud helpers.

rotherham@Job:9:14 @ How much less that, I, should answer him, should choose my words with him?

rotherham@Job:9:15 @ Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, to be absolved, I would make supplication.

rotherham@Job:9:16 @ Though I had called, and he had answered me, I could not believe, that he would lend an ear to my voice.

rotherham@Job:9:17 @ For, with a tempest, would he fall upon me, and would multiply my wounds without need;

rotherham@Job:9:18 @ He would not suffer me to recover my breath, for he would surfeit me with bitter things.

rotherham@Job:9:19 @ If it regardeth vigour, bold is he! If justice, who could summon him?

rotherham@Job:9:20 @ If I should justify myself, mine own mouth, would condemn me, I blameless? then had it shewn me perverse.

rotherham@Job:9:21 @ I blameless? I should not know my own soul, I should despise my own life!

rotherham@Job:9:22 @ One thing, there is, for which cause, I have said it, The blameless and the lawless, he bringeth to an end.

rotherham@Job:9:23 @ If, a scourge, slay suddenly, at the despair of innocent ones, he mocketh.

rotherham@Job:9:24 @ The earth, hath been given into the hand of a lawless one, The faces of her judges, he covereth, If not, then who is it?

rotherham@Job:9:25 @ My days, therefore, are swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have seen no good.

rotherham@Job:9:26 @ They have passed away with boats of paper-reed, like a vulture rusheth upon food.

rotherham@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will lay aside my sad countenance, and brighten up,

rotherham@Job:9:28 @ I am afraid of all my pains, I know, that thou wilt not pronounce me innocent.

rotherham@Job:9:29 @ I, shall be held guilty, Wherefore then, in vain, should I toil?

rotherham@Job:9:30 @ Though I bathe myself in snow water, and cleanse, in cleanness itself, my hands,

rotherham@Job:9:31 @ Then, in a ditch, wouldst thou plunge me, and mine own clothes should abhor me:

rotherham@Job:9:32 @ For he is not a man like myself, whom I might answer, nor could we come together into judgment:

rotherham@Job:9:33 @ There is not, between us, a mediator, who might lay his hand upon us both.

rotherham@Job:9:34 @ Let him take from off me his rod, and, his terror, let it not startle me:

rotherham@Job:9:35 @ I could speak, and not be afraid of him, although, not so, am, I, in myself!
