Job 9:25-35
25“Now 1my daysH3117 are swifterH7043 thanH4480 a runnerH7323; They fleeH1272 awayH1272, 2they seeH7200 noH3808 goodH2899.26They slipH2498 by likeH5973 3reedH16 boatsH591, Like an 4eagleH5404 that swoopsH2907 on 5its preyH400.27ThoughH518 I sayH559, ‘I will forgetH7911 6my complaintH7879, I will leaveH5800 off my sad countenanceH6440 and be cheerfulH1082,’28I am 7afraidH3025 of allH3605 my painsH6094, I knowH3045 that 8You will not acquitH5352 me.29I am accounted 9wickedH7561, WhyH4100 thenH2088 should I toilH3021 in vainH1892?30IfH518 I should 10washH7364 myself with snowH7950 And cleanseH2141 11my handsH3709 with lyeH1253,31YetH227 You would plungeH2881 me into the pitH7845, And my own clothesH8008 would abhorH8581 me.32For 12He is not a manH376 as I am that 13I may answerH6030 Him, That we may goH935 to 14courtH4941 togetherH3164.33ThereH3426 is noH3808 15umpireH3198 betweenH996 us, Who may layH7896 his handH3027 upon us bothH8147.34Let Him 16removeH5493 His rodH7626 from me, And let not dreadH367 of Him terrifyH1204 me.35Then I 17would speakH1696 and not fearH3372 Him; But I am not likeH3651 that in myself.
