Job:9-10
gltv@Job:9:1 @ And answered and said:
gltv@Job:9:2 @ Truly I know it is so; but how can man be just with God?
gltv@Job:9:3 @ If he would argue with Him, he cannot answer Him one of a thousand.
gltv@Job:9:4 @ He is wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has been hard against Him, and been at peace?
gltv@Job:9:5 @ He who moves the mountains, and they do not know; when He overturns them in His anger;
gltv@Job:9:6 @ who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble;
gltv@Job:9:7 @ the One speaking to the sun, and it does not rise; and He sets a seal around the stars;
gltv@Job:9:8 @ stretching out the heavens by Himself, and walking on the waves of the sea;
gltv@Job:9:9 @ Who made the Bear, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south;
gltv@Job:9:10 @ who is doing great things past finding out; yea, marvelous things without number?
gltv@Job:9:11 @ Behold, He goes by me, and I do not see Him; and He passes on, but I do not perceive Him.
gltv@Job:9:12 @ Behold, He takes away; who can turn Him back? Who will say to Him, What are You doing?
gltv@Job:9:13 @ God will not withdraw His anger; the helpers of pride stoop under Him.
gltv@Job:9:14 @ How much less shall I answer Him, and choose my words with Him!
gltv@Job:9:15 @ Though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I seek mercy for my judgment.
gltv@Job:9:16 @ If I had called and He had answered me; I would not believe that He had listened to my voice;
gltv@Job:9:17 @ He who breaks me with a tempest, and adds to my wounds without cause;
gltv@Job:9:18 @ who will not allow me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
gltv@Job:9:19 @ If I speak of strength, behold, He is mighty; and if of judgment, who can summon me?
gltv@Job:9:20 @ If I justify myself, my mouth will condemn me; though I am perfect, He shall declare me perverse;
gltv@Job:9:21 @ though I were perfect, I would not know my own soul; I despise my life.
gltv@Job:9:22 @ It is One; so then I said He is consuming the perfect and the wicked.
gltv@Job:9:23 @ If the whip kills suddenly, He will mock at the testing of the innocent.
gltv@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?
gltv@Job:9:25 @ Now my days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they see no good;
gltv@Job:9:26 @ they have passed away like the reed ships; as an eagle swoops on food.
gltv@Job:9:27 @ If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will loosen my face and be cheerful,
gltv@Job:9:28 @ I am afraid of all my sorrows; I know that You will not hold me innocent;
gltv@Job:9:29 @ I have been condemned; why should I labor in vain?
gltv@Job:9:30 @ If I wash myself with snow, and make my hands clean with soap,
gltv@Job:9:31 @ yet You will plunge me into the ditch, and my own clothes would abhor me.
gltv@Job:9:32 @ For He is not a man, as I am, that I should answer Him; that we should come together in judgment;
gltv@Job:9:33 @ there is no mediator between us, who might lay his hand on both of us.
gltv@Job:9:34 @ Let Him take His rod away from me, and let not His dread make me afraid;
gltv@Job:9:35 @ then I would speak, and not fear Him; for I am not so in myself.
gltv@Job:10:1 @ My soul loathes my life; I will leave my complaint on myself; I will speak in the bitterness of my soul.
gltv@Job:10:2 @ I will say to God, Do not condemn me; make me know why You contend with me.
gltv@Job:10:3 @ Is it good to You that You should crush, that You should despise the work of Your hands, and You shine on the counsel of the wicked?
gltv@Job:10:4 @ Have You eyes of flesh; or do You see as a man sees?
gltv@Job:10:5 @ Are Your days as the days of man? Or your years like the days of man,
gltv@Job:10:6 @ that You seek out my iniquity, and search for my sin?
gltv@Job:10:7 @ You know that I am not wicked; and there is no one delivering out of Your hand.
gltv@Job:10:8 @ Your hands have made me and shaped me together all around; yet You destroy me.
gltv@Job:10:9 @ Remember, I beseech You, that You have formed me as clay; and will You bring me to dust again?
gltv@Job:10:10 @ Did You not pour me out like milk; yea, curdled me like cheese?
gltv@Job:10:11 @ You clothed me with skin and flesh, and knitted me with bones and sinews.
gltv@Job:10:12 @ You have made me have life and favor, and Your providence has kept my spirit.
gltv@Job:10:13 @ And these You have hidden in Your heart; I know that this was with You.
gltv@Job:10:14 @ If I sin, then You watch me; and You will not acquit me from my guilt.
gltv@Job:10:15 @ If I am wrong, woe to me! And if I am righteous, I will not lift up my head, being filled with shame and seeing my pain.
gltv@Job:10:16 @ And if it rise, You would hunt me as a lion; and again You show Yourself wonderful in me.
gltv@Job:10:17 @ You renew Your witnesses against me, and increase Your anger with me; changes and warfare are with me.
gltv@Job:10:18 @ Why then did You bring me from the womb? I would have died, and no eye seen me.
gltv@Job:10:19 @ I would have been as though I had never been, carried from the womb to the grave.
gltv@Job:10:20 @ Are not my days few? Then cease and set me alone, that I may take a little comfort
gltv@Job:10:21 @ before I go; and I shall not return; to the land of darkness, and the shadow of death;
gltv@Job:10:22 @ a land of obscurity, the darkness of the shadow of death, and without any order; even the shining is as darkness.
