Job 9

1Then JobH347 answeredH559 and saidH559, 2Of a truthH551 I knowH3045 that it is soH3651: but howH4100 canH4100 manH582 be justH6663 with GodH410? 3IfH518 he be pleasedH2654 to contendH7378 with him, he cannotH3808 answerH6030 him one of a thousandH505. 4He is wiseH2450 in heartH3824, and mightyH533 in strengthH3581: who hath hardenedH7185 himselfH3824 againstH413 him, and prospered? 5WhichH834 removeth the mountainsH2022, and they knowH3045 it notH3808, when he overturneth them in his angerH639. 6Which shaketh the earthH776 outH4725 of her placeH4725, and the pillarsH5982 thereof trembleH7264. 7Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth notH3808; and sealeth upH2856 the starsH3556. 8Which aloneH905 stretcheth outH5186 the heavensH8064, and treadeth uponH5921 the wavesH1116 of the seaH3220. 9Which maketh the BearH5906, OrionH3685, and the PleiadesH3598, and the chambersH2315 of the southH8486. 10Which doeth greatH1419 things past finding outH2714; yea, marvelousH6381 things withoutH369 numberH4557. 11LoH2005, he goeth by meH5921, and I seeH7200 him notH3808: he passeth on also, but I perceiveH995 him notH3808. 12BeholdH2005, he seizeth the prey, who canH4310 hinder him? who will sayH559 unto him, WhatH4100 doest thou? 13GodH433 will notH3808 withdrawH7725 his angerH639; the helpersH5826 of RahabH7293 do stoop underH8478 him. 14HowH637 muchH637 lessH637 shall I answerH6030 him, and chooseH977 out my wordsH1697 to reasonH1697 with him? 15WhomH834, thoughH518 I were righteousH6663, yet would I notH3808 answerH6030; I would make supplication to mine adversary. 16IfH518 I had calledH7121, and he had answeredH6030 meH6963; yet would I notH3808 believeH539 that he hearkened unto my voiceH6963. 17For he breaketh meH2600 with a tempestH8183, and multiplieth my woundsH6482 withoutH2600 causeH2600. 18He will notH3808 suffer meH5414 to takeH7725 my breathH7307, but filleth meH5414 with bitternessH4472. 19IfH518 weH518 speak of the strengthH3581 of the mightyH533, loH2009, he is there! and ifH518 of judgmentH4941, who will appoint meH3259 a time? 20ThoughH518 I be righteousH6663, mine own mouthH6310 shall condemnH7561 meH589: thoughH518 I be perfectH8535, it shall prove meH589 perverse. 21I am perfectH8535; I regardH3045 notH3808 myselfH589; I despiseH3988 my lifeH5315. 22It is allH259 one; therefore I sayH559, He destroyeth the perfectH8535 and the wickedH7563. 23IfH518 the scourgeH7752 slayH4191 suddenlyH6597, he will mockH3932 at the trial of the innocentH5355. 24The earthH776 is givenH5414 intoH8199 the handH3027 of the wickedH7563: he covereth the facesH6440 of the judgesH8199 thereof; ifH518 it be notH3808 he, who then is it? 25NowH3117 my daysH3117 are swifterH7043 thanH4480 a post: they fleeH1272 awayH1272, they seeH7200 noH3808 goodH2896. 26They are passedH2498 awayH5973 as the swift shipsH591: as the eagleH5404 that swoopeth on the preyH400. 27IfH518 I sayH559, I will forgetH7911 my complaintH7879, I will put off my sad countenanceH6440, and be of good cheerH1082: 28I am afraidH3025 of allH3605 my sorrowsH6094, I knowH3045 that thou wilt notH3808 hold meH3808 innocentH5352. 29I shall be condemnedH7561; whyH4100 then doH4100 I labour in vainH1892? 30IfH518 I washH7364 myself with snowH7950 water, and make my handsH3709 neverH518 so clean; 31Yet wilt thou plungeH2881 meH8581 in the ditch, and mine own clothesH8008 shall abhorH8581 meH8581. 32For he is notH3808 a manH376, as I am, that I should answerH6030 him, that weH3588 should comeH935 togetherH3162 in judgmentH4941. 33There is no daysman betwixt usH5921, that might layH7896 his handH3027 uponH5921 usH5921 bothH8147. 34LetH408 him takeH5493 his rodH7626 awayH5493 from meH5921, and letH408 notH408 his terrorH367 make meH5921 afraid: 35Then would I speakH1696, and notH3808 fearH3372 him; for I am notH3808 soH3651 in myselfH595.
