The Book of Job

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 Arc-tu´-rus, O-ri´on, and Ple´-ia-des, 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 me.
