Job 9:25-35

25Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. 26They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.1 27If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my heaviness, and comfort myself : 28I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. 29If I am wicked, why then do I labour in vain? 30If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; 31Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and my own clothes shall abhor me.2 32For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. 33Neither is there any mediator between us, that might lay his hand upon us both.34 34Let him take away his rod from me, and let not his fear terrify me: 35Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.5
