Job 9:25-35

25My daysH3117 are swifterH7043 thanH4480 a runnerH7323; they fleeH1272 withoutH3808 seeingH7200 goodH2896.26They sweep byH2498 likeH5973 boatsH591 of papyrusH16, like an eagleH5404 swooping downH2907 onH5921 its preyH400.27IfH518 I were to sayH559, ‘I will forgetH7911 my complaintH7879 and changeH5800 my expressionH6440 and smileH1082,’28I would still dreadH3025 allH3605 my sufferingsH6094; I knowH3045 thatH3588 You will notH3808 acquit meH5352.29Since I amH595 already found guiltyH7561, whyH4100H2088 should I laborH3021 in vainH1892?30IfH518 I should washH7364 myselfH1119 with snowH79501 and cleanseH2141 my handsH3709 with lyeH1253,31thenH227 You would plunge meH2881 into the pitH7845, and even my own clothesH8008 would despise meH8581.

32ForH3588 He is notH3808 a manH376 like meH3644, that I can answer HimH6030,that we can takeH3162 each otherH935 to courtH4941.33NorH3808 is thereH3426 a mediatorH3198 between usH996,to layH7896 his handH3027 upon usH5921 bothH8147.34Let Him removeH5493 His rodH7626 from meH5921,so that His terrorH367 will noH408 longer frighten meH1204.35Then I would speakH1696 withoutH3808 fear of HimH3372.ButH3588 as it isH3808H3651, IH595 am on my ownH5978.
