Job 9:25-35
25“Now 1my daysH3117 areH7043 swifterH7043 thanH4480 a runnerH7323; They fleeH1272 awayH1272, 2they seeH7200 noH3808 goodH2899.26They slipH2498 byH2498 likeH5973 3reedH16 boatsH591, Like an 4eagleH5404 that swoopsH2907 on 5its preyH400.27ThoughH518 I sayH559, ‘I will forgetH7911 6my complaintH7879, I will 7putH5800 my faceH6440 inH5800 orderH5800 and beH1082 cheerfulH1082,’28I am 8afraidH3025 of allH3605 my painsH6094, I knowH3045 that 9You will not acquitH5352 me.29I amH7561 10guiltyH7561, WhyH4100 thenH2088 should I struggleH3021 in vainH1892?30IfH518 I 11washedH7364 myself with snowH7950, And cleansedH2141 12my handsH3709 with lyeH1253,31ThenH227 You would plungeH2881 me into the pitH7845, And my own clothesH8008 would loatheH8581 me.32For 13He is not a manH376, as I am, that 14I may answerH6030 Him-- That we may goH935 to 15courtH4941 togetherH3164!33ThereH3426 isH3426 noH3808 16arbitratorH3198 betweenH996 us, Who can placeH7896 his handH3027 upon us bothH8147.34Let Him 17removeH5493 His rodH7626 from me, And let not the dreadH367 of Him terrifyH1204 me.35Then I 18would speakH1696 and not fearH3372 Him; But I am not likeH3651 that in myself.
