JOB-9:1 Then Job answered and said, JOB-9:2 I know [it is] so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? JOB-9:3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. JOB-9:4 [He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened [himself] against him, and hath prospered? JOB-9:5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. JOB-9:6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. JOB-9:7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. JOB-9:8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. JOB-9:9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. JOB-9:10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. JOB-9:11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see [him] not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. JOB-9:12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? JOB-9:13 [If] God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. JOB-9:14 How much less shall I answer him, [and] choose out my words [to reason] with him? JOB-9:15 Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer, [but] I would make supplication to my judge. JOB-9:16 If I had called, and he had answered me; [yet] would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. JOB-9:17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. JOB-9:18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. JOB-9:19 If [I speak] of strength, lo, [he is] strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time [to plead]? JOB-9:20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: [if I say], I [am] perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. JOB-9:21 [Though] I [were] perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. JOB-9:22 This [is] one [thing], therefore I said [it], He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. JOB-9:23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. JOB-9:24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, [and] who [is] he? JOB-9:25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. JOB-9:26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle [that] hasteth to the prey. JOB-9:27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort [myself]: JOB-9:28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. JOB-9:29 [If] I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? JOB-9:30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; JOB-9:31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. JOB-9:32 For [he is] not a man, as I [am, that] I should answer him, [and] we should come together in judgment. JOB-9:33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, [that] might lay his hand upon us both. JOB-9:34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: JOB-9:35 [Then] would I speak, and not fear him; but [it is] not so with jesus.  ~~~~~~
