chapter_Job_9
Job 9:1: And Job answereth and saith: &#8212; Job 9:2: Truly I have known that it is so, And what &#8212; is man righteous with God? Job 9:3: If he delight to strive with Him &#8212; He doth not answer him one of a thousand. Job 9:4: Wise in heart and strong in power &#8212; Who hath hardened toward Him and is at peace? Job 9:5: Who is removing mountains, And they have not known, Who hath overturned them in His anger. Job 9:6: Who is shaking earth from its place, And its pillars move themselves. Job 9:7: Who is speaking to the sun, and it riseth not, And the stars He sealeth up. Job 9:8: Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the heights of the sea, Job 9:9: Making Osh, Kesil, and Kimah, And the inner chambers of the south. Job 9:10: Doing great things till there is no searching, And wonderful, till there is no numbering. Job 9:11: Lo, He goeth over by me, and I see not, And He passeth on, and I attend not to it. Job 9:12: Lo, He snatches away, who bringeth it back? Who saith unto Him, 'What dost Thou?' Job 9:13: God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have proud helpers. Job 9:14: How much less do I &#8212; I answer Him? Choose out my words with Him? Job 9:15: Whom, though I were righteous, I answer not, For my judgment I make supplication. Job 9:16: Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe that He giveth ear to my voice. Job 9:17: Because with a tempest He bruiseth me, And hath multiplied my wounds for nought. Job 9:18: He permitteth me not to refresh my spirit, But filleth me with bitter things. Job 9:19: If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment &#8212; who doth convene me? Job 9:20: If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked, Perfect I am! &#8212; it declareth me perverse. Job 9:21: Perfect I am! &#8212; I know not my soul, I despise my life. Job 9:22: It is the same thing, therefore I said, 'The perfect and the wicked He is consuming.' Job 9:23: If a scourge doth put to death suddenly, At the trial of the innocent He laugheth. Job 9:24: Earth hath been given Into the hand of the wicked one. The face of its judges he covereth, If not &#8212; where, who is he? Job 9:25: My days have been swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have not seen good, Job 9:26: They have passed on with ships of reed, As an eagle darteth on food. Job 9:27: Though I say, 'I forget my talking, I forsake my corner, and I brighten up!' Job 9:28: I have been afraid of all my griefs, I have known that Thou dost not acquit me. Job 9:29: I &#8212; I am become wicked; why is this? In vain I labour. Job 9:30: If I have washed myself with snow-water, And purified with soap my hands, Job 9:31: Then in corruption Thou dost dip me, And my garments have abominated me. Job 9:32: But if a man like myself &#8212; I answer him, We come together into judgment. Job 9:33: If there were between us an umpire, He doth place his hand on us both. Job 9:34: He doth turn aside from off me his rod, And His terror doth not make me afraid, Job 9:35: I speak, and do not fear Him, But I am not right with myself.
