updv - Job:9-10

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.

updv@Job:10:1 @ My soul is weary of my life; I will give free course to my complaint; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.

updv@Job:10:2 @ I will say to God, Do not condemn me; Show me why you contend with me.

updv@Job:10:3 @ Is it good to you that you should oppress, That you should despise the work of your hands, And shine on the counsel of the wicked?

updv@Job:10:4 @ Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as common man sees?

updv@Job:10:5 @ Are your days as the days of common man, Or your years as the days of [noble] man,

updv@Job:10:6 @ That you inquire after my iniquity, And search after my sin,

updv@Job:10:7 @ Although you know that I am not wicked, And there is none who can deliver out of your hand?

updv@Job:10:8 @ Your hands have framed me and fashioned me, Together round about; yet you destroy me.

updv@Job:10:9 @ Remember, I urge you, that you have fashioned me as clay; And will you bring me into dust again?

updv@Job:10:10 @ Have you not poured me out as milk, And curdled me like cheese?

updv@Job:10:11 @ You have clothed me with skin and flesh, And knit me together with bones and sinews.

updv@Job:10:12 @ You have granted me life and loving-kindness; And your visitation has preserved my spirit.

updv@Job:10:13 @ Yet these things you hid in your heart; I know that this is with you:

updv@Job:10:14 @ If I sin, then you mark me, And you will not acquit me from my iniquity.

updv@Job:10:15 @ If I am wicked, woe to me; And if I am righteous, yet I will not lift up my head, Filled with shame and drunk with my affliction.

updv@Job:10:16 @ And if [my head] exalts itself, you hunt me as a lion; And again you show yourself marvelous on me.

updv@Job:10:17 @ You renew your witnesses against me, And increase your indignation on me: Changes and warfare are with me.

updv@Job:10:18 @ Why then have you brought me forth out of the womb? I had given up the ghost, and no eye had seen me.

updv@Job:10:19 @ I should have been as though I had not been; I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.

updv@Job:10:20 @ Are not my days few? stop. Turn away from me, that I may take comfort a little,

updv@Job:10:21 @ Before I go from where I will not return, [Even] to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;

updv@Job:10:22 @ The land dark as midnight, [The land] of the shadow of death, without any order, And where the light is as midnight.

updv@Job:11:1 @ Then Zophar the Naamathite answered and said,
