Job 9:25-35

25“My days are swifter than a runner, they speed by without seeing happiness.

26They glide by like reed boats, like an eagle that swoops down on its prey.

27If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression and be cheerful,’

28I dread all my sufferings, for I know that you do not hold me blameless.

29If I am guilty, why then weary myself in vain?

30If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands clean with lye,

31then you plunge me into a slimy pit and my own clothes abhor me.

32For he is not a human being like I am, that I might answer him, that we might come together in judgment.

33Nor is there an arbiter between us, who might lay his hand on us both,

34who would take his rod away from me so that his terror would not make me afraid.

35Then would I speak and not fear him, but it is not so with me.
