acv Job:9-10
acv@Job:9:1 @ Then Job answered and said,
acv@Job:9:2 @ Of a truth I know that it is so. But how can man be just with God?
acv@Job:9:3 @ If he is pleased to contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
acv@Job:9:4 @ [He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?
acv@Job:9:5 @ [He] who removes the mountains, and they do not know it when he overturns them in his anger,
acv@Job:9:6 @ who shakes the earth out of its place, and the pillars of it tremble,
acv@Job:9:7 @ who commands the sun, and it does not rise, and seals up the stars,
acv@Job:9:8 @ who alone stretches out the heavens, and treads upon the waves of the sea,
acv@Job:9:9 @ who makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south,
acv@Job:9:10 @ who does great things past finding out, yea, marvelous things without number.
acv@Job:9:11 @ Lo, he goes by me, and I do not see him. He also passes on, but I do not perceive him.
acv@Job:9:12 @ Behold, he seizes; who can hinder him? Who will say to him, What are thou doing?
acv@Job:9:13 @ God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
acv@Job:9:14 @ How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words [to reason] with him?
acv@Job:9:15 @ Whom, though I were righteous, yet I would not answer. I would make supplication to my judge.
acv@Job:9:16 @ If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I would not believe that he hearkened to my voice.
acv@Job:9:17 @ For he breaks me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
acv@Job:9:18 @ He will not allow me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
acv@Job:9:19 @ If of strength, lo, [he is] mighty! And if of justice, who will summon me?
acv@Job:9:20 @ Though I be righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me. Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
acv@Job:9:21 @ Though I were perfect, I do not regard myself. I despise my life.
acv@Job:9:22 @ It is all one thing. Therefore I say, He destroys the perfect and the wicked.
acv@Job:9:23 @ If the scourge kills suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
acv@Job:9:24 @ The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of the judges of it. If not [he], who then is it?
acv@Job:9:25 @ Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good,
acv@Job:9:26 @ They are passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.
acv@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my complaint. I will put off my [sad] countenance, and be of good cheer,
acv@Job:9:28 @ I am afraid of all my sorrows. I know that thou will not hold me innocent.
acv@Job:9:29 @ I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
acv@Job:9:30 @ If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands ever so clean,
acv@Job:9:31 @ yet thou will plunge me in the ditch, and my own clothes shall abhor me.
acv@Job:9:32 @ For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
acv@Job:9:33 @ There is no umpire between us who might lay his hand upon us both.
acv@Job:9:34 @ Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his terror make me afraid.
acv@Job:9:35 @ Then I would speak, and not be afraid of him, for I am not so in myself.
acv@Job:10:1 @ My soul is weary of my life. I will give free reign to my complaint. I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
acv@Job:10:2 @ I will say to God, Do not condemn me. Show me why thou contend with me.
acv@Job:10:3 @ Is it good to thee that thou should oppress, that thou should despise the work of thy hands, and shine upon the counsel of the wicked?
acv@Job:10:4 @ Have thou eyes of flesh? Or do thou see as man sees?
acv@Job:10:5 @ Are thy days as the days of man, or thy years as man's days,
acv@Job:10:6 @ that thou inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin,
acv@Job:10:7 @ although thou know that I am not wicked. And there is none that can deliver out of thy hand?
acv@Job:10:8 @ Thy hands have made me and fashioned me together round about, yet thou destroy me.
acv@Job:10:9 @ Remember, I beseech thee, that thou have fashioned me as clay. And will thou bring me into dust again?
acv@Job:10:10 @ Have thou not poured me out as milk, and curdled me like cheese?
acv@Job:10:11 @ Thou have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
acv@Job:10:12 @ Thou have granted me life and loving kindness, and thy visitation has preserved my spirit.
acv@Job:10:13 @ Yet these things thou hid in thy heart. I know that this is with thee.
acv@Job:10:14 @ If I sin, then thou mark me. And thou will not acquit me from my iniquity.
acv@Job:10:15 @ If I be wicked, woe to me. And if I be righteous, yet I shall not lift up my head, being filled with shame, and looking upon my affliction.
acv@Job:10:16 @ And if [my head] exalts itself, thou hunt me as a lion. And again thou show thyself marvelous upon me.
acv@Job:10:17 @ Thou renew thy witnesses against me, and increase thine indignation upon me. Changes and warfare are with me.
acv@Job:10:18 @ Why then have thou brought me forth out of the womb? I would have given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
acv@Job:10:19 @ I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
acv@Job:10:20 @ Are not my days few? Cease then, and let me alone, that I may take comfort a little
acv@Job:10:21 @ before I go where I shall not return, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death,
acv@Job:10:22 @ the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, and where the light is as midnight.
acv@Job:11:1 @ Then Zophar the Naamathite answered, and said,
