Job 9:25-35

25Now my daysH3117 are swifter than a post:They fleeH1272 awayH1272, they seeH7200 no goodH2896.26They are passedH2498 away as the swift shipsH591;As the eagleH5404 that swoopeth on the prey.27If I sayH559, I will forgetH7911 my complaintH7879,I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer;28I am afraidH3025 of all my sorrowsH6094,I knowH3045 that thou wilt not hold me innocent.29I shall be condemnedH7561;WhyH4100 then do I laborH3021 in vain?30If I washH7364 myself with snowH7950 water,And make my handsH3709 never so clean;31Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch,And mine own clothesH8008 shall abhorH8581 me.32For he is not a manH376, as I am, that I should answerH6030 him,That we should comeH935 togetherH3162 in judgmentH4941.33There is no umpire betwixt us,That might lay his handH3027 upon us both.34Let him take his rodH7626 awayH5493 from me,And let not his terrorH367 make me afraid:35Then would I speakH1696, and not fearH3372 him;For I am not soH3651 in myself.
