Job-9

(American Standard Version)

  • 1 Then Job answered and said,
  • 2 Of a truth I know that it is so: But how can man be just with God?
  • 3 If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.
  • 4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?—
  • 5 Him that removeth the mountains, and they know it not, When he overturneth them in his anger;
  • 6 That shaketh the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble;
  • 7 That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And sealeth up the stars;
  • 8 That alone stretcheth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea;
  • 9 That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
  • 10 That doeth great things past finding out, Yea, marvellous things without number.
  • 11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
  • 12 Behold, he seizeth the prey , who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
  • 13 God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.
  • 14 How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words to reason with him?
  • 15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.
  • 16 If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.
  • 17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
  • 18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness.
  • 19 If we speak of strength, lo, he is mighty! And if of justice, Who, saith he , will summon me?
  • 20 Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
  • 21 I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life.
  • 22 It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
  • 23 If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the trial of the innocent.
  • 24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof: If it be not he , who then is it?
  • 25 Now my days are swifter than a post: They flee away, they see no good,
  • 26 They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.
  • 27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer;
  • 28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
  • 29 I shall be condemned; Why then do I labor in vain?
  • 30 If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands never so clean;
  • 31 Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch, And mine own clothes shall abhor me.
  • 32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.
  • 33 There is no umpire betwixt us, That might lay his hand upon us both.
  • 34 Let him take his rod away from me, And let not his terror make me afraid:
  • 35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; For I am not so in myself.
