Job:9-10
web@Job:9:1 @Then Job answered,
web@Job:9:2 @"Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?
web@Job:9:3 @If he is pleased to contend with him, he can't answer him one time in a thousand.
web@Job:9:4 @God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?
web@Job:9:5 @He removes the mountains, and they don't know it, when he overturns them in his anger.
web@Job:9:6 @He shakes the earth out of its place. Its pillars tremble.
web@Job:9:7 @He commands the sun, and it doesn't rise, and seals up the stars.
web@Job:9:8 @He alone stretches out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea.
web@Job:9:9 @He makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the rooms of the south.
web@Job:9:10 @He does great things past finding out; yes, marvelous things without number.
web@Job:9:11 @Behold, he goes by me, and I don't see him. He passes on also, but I don't perceive him.
web@Job:9:12 @Behold, he snatches away. Who can hinder him? Who will ask him, 'What are you doing?'
web@Job:9:13 @"God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
web@Job:9:14 @How much less shall I answer him, And choose my words to argue with him?
web@Job:9:15 @Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn't answer him. I would make supplication to my judge.
web@Job:9:16 @If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I wouldn't believe that he listened to my voice.
web@Job:9:17 @For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
web@Job:9:18 @He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
web@Job:9:19 @If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If of justice, 'Who,' says he, 'will summon me?'
web@Job:9:20 @Though I am righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me. Though I am blameless, it shall prove me perverse.
web@Job:9:21 @I am blameless. I don't respect myself. I despise my life.
web@Job:9:22 @"It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
web@Job:9:23 @If the scourge kills suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the innocent.
web@Job:9:24 @The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If not he, then who is it?
web@Job:9:25 @"Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away, they see no good,
web@Job:9:26 @They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.
web@Job:9:27 @If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up;'
web@Job:9:28 @I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.
web@Job:9:29 @I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
web@Job:9:30 @If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,
web@Job:9:31 @yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes shall abhor me.
web@Job:9:32 @For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
web@Job:9:33 @There is no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
web@Job:9:34 @Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;
web@Job:9:35 @then I would speak, and not fear him, for I am not so in myself.
web@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.
web@Job:10:2 @I will tell God, 'Do not condemn me. Show me why you contend with me.
web@Job:10:3 @Is it good to you that you should oppress, that you should despise the work of your hands, and smile on the counsel of the wicked?
web@Job:10:4 @Do you have eyes of flesh? Or do you see as man sees?
web@Job:10:5 @Are your days as the days of mortals, or your years as man's years,
web@Job:10:6 @that you inquire after my iniquity, and search after my sin?
web@Job:10:7 @Although you know that I am not wicked, there is no one who can deliver out of your hand.
web@Job:10:8 @"'Your hands have framed me and fashioned me altogether, yet you destroy me.
web@Job:10:9 @Remember, I beg you, that you have fashioned me as clay. Will you bring me into dust again?
web@Job:10:10 @Haven't you poured me out like milk, and curdled me like cheese?
web@Job:10:11 @You have clothed me with skin and flesh, and knit me together with bones and sinews.
web@Job:10:12 @You have granted me life and loving kindness. Your visitation has preserved my spirit.
web@Job:10:13 @Yet you hid these things in your heart. I know that this is with you:
web@Job:10:14 @if I sin, then you mark me. You will not acquit me from my iniquity.
web@Job:10:15 @If I am wicked, woe to me. If I am righteous, I still shall not lift up my head, being filled with disgrace, and conscious of my affliction.
web@Job:10:16 @If my head is held high, you hunt me like a lion. Again you show yourself powerful to me.
web@Job:10:17 @You renew your witnesses against me, and increase your indignation on me. Changes and warfare are with me.
web@Job:10:18 @"'Why, then, have you brought me forth out of the womb? I wish I had given up the spirit, and no eye had seen me.
web@Job:10:19 @I should have been as though I had not been. I should have been carried from the womb to the grave.
web@Job:10:20 @Aren't my days few? Cease then. Leave me alone, that I may find a little comfort,
web@Job:10:21 @before I go where I shall not return from, to the land of darkness and of the shadow of death;
web@Job:10:22 @the land dark as midnight, of the shadow of death, without any order, where the light is as midnight.'"
