Job 9:1 Then Job347 answered6030 and said,5592 I know3045itis so of a truth:551 but how should man582 be just6663 with God?410{Or, before God}3 If he will2654 contend7378 with him, he cannot answer6030 him one259 of a thousand.5054Heis wise2450 in heart,3824 and mighty533 in strength:3581 who hath hardened7185himself against him, and hath prospered?79995 Which removeth6275 the mountains,2022 and they know3045 not: which overturneth2015 them in his anger.6396 Which shaketh7264 the earth776 out of her place,4725 and the pillars5982 thereof tremble.64267 Which commandeth559 the sun,2775 and it riseth2224 not; and sealeth up2856 the stars.35568 Which alone spreadeth out5186 the heavens,8064 and treadeth1869 upon the waves1116{Heb. heights} of the sea.32209 Which maketh6213 Arcturus,5906 Orion,3685 and Pleiades,3598{Heb. Ash, Cesil, and Cimah} and the chambers2315 of the south.848610 Which doeth6213 great things1419 past369 finding out;2714 yea, and wonders6381 without number.455711 Lo, he goeth5674 by me, and I see7200him not: he passeth on2498 also, but I perceive995 him not.
12 Behold, he taketh away,2862 who can hinder7725 him?{Heb. who can turn him away?} who will say559 unto him, What doest6213 thou?
13If God433 will not withdraw7725 his anger,639 the proud7293 helpers5826{Heb. helpers of pride, or strength} do stoop7817 under him.
14 How much less shall I answer6030 him, and choose out977 my words1697toreason with him?
15 Whom, though I were righteous,6663yet would I not answer,6030but I would make supplication2603 to my judge.819916 If I had called,7121 and he had answered6030 me; yet would I not believe539 that he had hearkened238 unto my voice.696317 For he breaketh7779 me with a tempest,8183 and multiplieth7235 my wounds6482 without cause.260018 He will not suffer5414 me to take7725 my breath,7307 but filleth7646 me with bitterness.447219 If Ispeak of strength,3581 lo, heis strong:533 and if of judgment,4941 who shall set3259 me a time toplead?20 If I justify6663 myself, mine own mouth6310 shall condemn7561 me: ifIsay, I am perfect,8535 it shall also prove me perverse.614021Though I were perfect,8535yet would I not know3045 my soul:5315 I would despise3988 my life.2416
Job 9:22 This is one259thing, therefore I said559it, He destroyeth3615 the perfect8535 and the wicked.756323 If the scourge7752 slay4191 suddenly,6597 he will laugh3932 at the trial4531 of the innocent.535524 The earth776 is given5414 into the hand3027 of the wicked:7563 he covereth3680 the faces6440 of the judges8199 thereof; if not, where,645and who is he?
25 Now my days3117 are swifter7043 than a post:7323 they flee away,1272 they see7200 no good.289626 They are passed away2498 as5973 the swift16 ships:591{Heb. ships of desire. Or, ships of Ebeh} as the eagle5404that hasteth2907 to the prey.40027 If I say,559 I will forget7911 my complaint,7879 I will leave off5800 my heaviness,6440 and comfort1082myself:28 I am afraid3025 of all my sorrows,6094 I know3045 that thou wilt not hold me innocent.535229If I be wicked,7561 why then labour3021 I in vain?189230 If I wash7364 myself with7950 snow water,43251119 and make my hands3709 never12521253 so clean;214131 Yet227 shalt thou plunge2881 me in the ditch,7845 and mine own clothes8008 shall abhor8581 me.{Or, make me to be abhorred}32 For heis not a man,376 as I am,that I should answer6030 him, and we should come935 together3162 in judgment.494133 Neither is3426 there any daysman3198{Heb. one that should argue. Or, Umpire} betwixt us, that might lay7896 his hand3027 upon us both.814734 Let him take54932794 his rod7626 away5493 from me, and let not his fear367 terrify1204 me:
35Then would I speak,1696 and not fear3372 him; but itis not so with me.{Heb. but I am not so with myself}
