Book 18 : JOB - Chapter 009
009:001
I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with
God
009:002
If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a
thousand
009:003
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened
himself against him, and hath prospered
009:004
Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which
overturneth them in his anger
009:005
Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars
thereof tremble
009:006
Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up
the stars
009:007
Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the
waves of the sea
009:008
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers
of the south
009:009
Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders
without number
009:010
Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but
I perceive him not
009:011
Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto
him, What doest thou
009:012
If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop
under him
009:013
How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to
reason with him
009:014
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I
would make supplication to my judge
009:015
If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not
believe that he had hearkened unto my voice
009:016
For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds
without cause
009:017
He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with
bitterness
009:018
If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment,
who shall set me a time to plead
009:019
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I
say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse
009:020
Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would
despise my life
009:021
This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the
perfect and the wicked
009:022
If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of
the innocent
009:023
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
009:024
Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see
no good
009:025
They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that
hasteth to the prey
009:026
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my
heaviness, and comfort myself
009:027
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold
me innocent
009:028
If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain
009:029
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so
clean
009:030
Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes
shall abhor me
009:031
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we
should come together in judgment
009:032
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his
hand upon us both
009:033
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear
terrify me
009:034
Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with
me
