Job 9:25-35

25“Now my days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they see no good.

26They pass by like swift ships, Like an eagle swooping on its prey.

27If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face and wear a smile,’

28I am afraid of all my sufferings; I know that You will not hold me innocent.

29If I am condemned, Why then do I labor in vain?

30If I wash myself with snow water, And cleanse my hands with soap,

31Yet You will plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes will abhor me.

32“For He is not a man, as I am, That I may answer Him, And that we should go to court together.

33Nor is there any mediator between us, Who may lay his hand on us both.

34Let Him take His rod away from me, And do not let dread of Him terrify me.

35Then I would speak and not fear Him, But it is not so with me.
