bbe @Job:9:1 @And Job made answer and said , bbe @Job:9:2 @Truly , I see that it is so : and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God ? bbe @Job:9:3 @If a man was desiring to go to law with him , he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions . bbe @Job:9:4 @He is wise in heart and great in strength : who ever made his face hard against him , and any good came of it ? bbe @Job:9:5 @It is he who takes away the mountains without their knowledge , overturning them in his wrath : bbe @Job:9:6 @Who is moving the earth out of its place , so that its pillars are shaking : bbe @Job:9:7 @Who gives orders to the sun , and it does not give its light ; and who keeps the stars from shining . bbe @Job:9:8 @By whose hand the heavens were stretched out , and who is walking on the waves of the sea : bbe @Job:9:9 @Who made the Bear and Orion , and the Pleiades , and the store-houses of the south : bbe @Job:9:10 @Who does great things not to be searched out ; yes , wonders without number . bbe @Job:9:11 @See , he goes past me and I see him not : he goes on before , but I have no knowledge of him . bbe @Job:9:12 @If he puts out his hand to take , by whom may it be turned back ? who may say to him , What are you doing ? bbe @Job:9:13 @God 's wrath may not be turned back ; the helpers of Rahab were bent down under him . bbe @Job:9:14 @How much less may I give an answer to him , using the right words in argument with him ? bbe @Job:9:15 @Even if my cause was good , I would not be able to give an answer ; I would make request for grace from him who was against me . bbe @Job:9:16 @If I had sent for him to be present , and he had come , I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice . bbe @Job:9:17 @For I would be crushed by his storm , my wounds would be increased without cause . bbe @Job:9:18 @He would not let me take my breath , but I would be full of bitter grief . bbe @Job:9:19 @If it is a question of strength , he says , Here I am ! and if it is a question of a cause at law , he says , Who will give me a fixed day ? bbe @Job:9:20 @Though I was in the right , he would say that I was in the wrong ; I have done no evil ; but he says that I am a sinner bbe @Job:9:21 @I have done no wrong ; I give no thought to what becomes of me ; I have no desire for life . bbe @Job:9:22 @It is all the same to me ; so I say , He puts an end to the sinner and to him who has done no wrong together . bbe @Job:9:23 @If death comes suddenly through disease , he makes sport of the fate of those who have done no wrong . bbe @Job:9:24 @The land is given into the power of the evil-doer ; the faces of its judges are covered ; if not by him , then who has done it ? bbe @Job:9:25 @My days go quicker than a post-runner : they go in flight , they see no good . bbe @Job:9:26 @They go rushing on like reed-boats , like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food . bbe @Job:9:27 @If I say , I will put my grief out of mind , I will let my face be sad no longer and I will be bright ; bbe @Job:9:28 @I go in fear of all my pains ; I am certain that I will not be free from sin in your eyes . bbe @Job:9:29 @You will not let me be clear of sin ! why then do I take trouble for nothing ? bbe @Job:9:30 @If I am washed with snow water , and make my hands clean with soap ; bbe @Job:9:31 @Then you will have me pushed into the dust , so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing . bbe @Job:9:32 @For he is not a man as I am , that I might give him an answer , that we might come together before a judge . bbe @Job:9:33 @There is no one to give a decision between us , who might have control over us . bbe @Job:9:34 @Let him take away his rod from me and not send his fear on me : bbe @Job:9:35 @Then I would say what is in my mind without fear of him ; for there is no cause of fear in myself .
