updv - 9

updv@Job:9:1 @ Then Job answered and said,

updv@Job:9:2 @ Of a truth I know that it is so: But how can common man be just with God?

updv@Job:9:3 @ If he is pleased to contend with him, He can't answer him one of a thousand.

updv@Job:9:4 @ [He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?-

updv@Job:9:5 @ [Him] that removes the mountains, and they do not know it, When he overturns them in his anger;

updv@Job:9:6 @ That shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;

updv@Job:9:7 @ That commands the sun, and it does not rise, And seals up the stars;

updv@Job:9:8 @ That alone stretches out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea;

updv@Job:9:9 @ That makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;

updv@Job:9:10 @ That does great things past finding out, Yes, marvelous things without number.

updv@Job:9:11 @ Look, he goes by me, and I don't see him: He passes on also, but I don't perceive him.

updv@Job:9:12 @ Look, he seizes [the prey], who can hinder him? Who will say to him, What are you doing?

updv@Job:9:13 @ God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.

updv@Job:9:14 @ How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words [to reason] with him?

updv@Job:9:15 @ Whom, though I were righteous, yet I would not answer; I would plead for mercy to my judge.

updv@Job:9:16 @ If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet I would not believe that he listened to my voice.

updv@Job:9:17 @ For he breaks me with a tempest, And multiplies my wounds without cause.

updv@Job:9:18 @ He will not allow me to take my breath, But fills me with bitterness.

updv@Job:9:19 @ If [we speak] of strength, look, [he is] mighty! And if of justice, Who, [he says], will summon me?

updv@Job:9:20 @ Though I be righteous, my own mouth will condemn me: Though I be perfect, it will prove me perverse.

updv@Job:9:21 @ I am perfect; I do not regard myself; I despise my life.

updv@Job:9:22 @ It is all one; therefore I say, He destroys the perfect and the wicked.

updv@Job:9:23 @ If the scourge slays suddenly, He will mock at the trial of the innocent.

updv@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?

updv@Job:9:25 @ Now my days are swifter than a post: They flee away, they see no good,

updv@Job:9:26 @ They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoops on the prey.

updv@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my [sad] countenance, and be of good cheer;

updv@Job:9:28 @ I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.

updv@Job:9:29 @ I will be condemned; Why then do I labor in vain?

updv@Job:9:30 @ If I wash myself with snow, And clean my my hands with lye;

updv@Job:9:31 @ Yet you will plunge me in the ditch, And my own clothes will be disgusted with me.

updv@Job:9:32 @ For he is not a man as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.

updv@Job:9:33 @ If only there were an umpire between us That might lay his hand on us both,

updv@Job:9:34 @ [Then] he would take his rod away from me, And his terror would not make me afraid.

updv@Job:9:35 @ Then I would speak and not fear him; For I am not so in myself.
