Job 9:25-35
25My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.26They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.27If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’28I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.29Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?30If I should wash myself with snow1 and cleanse my hands with lye,31then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.
32For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him,that we can take each other to court.33Nor is there a mediator between us,to lay his hand upon us both.34Let Him remove His rod from me,so that His terror will no longer frighten me.35Then I would speak without fear of Him.But as it is, I am on my own.
