^ Jb 9.1: Then Job answered and said,
^ Jb 9.2: I know [it is] so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
^ Jb 9.3: If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
^ Jb 9.4: [He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened [himself] against him, and hath prospered?
^ Jb 9.5: Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
^ Jb 9.6: Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
^ Jb 9.7: Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
^ Jb 9.8: Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
^ Jb 9.9: Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
^ Jb 9.10: Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
^ Jb 9.11: Lo, he goeth by me, and I see [him] not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
^ Jb 9.12: Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
^ Jb 9.13: [If] God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
^ Jb 9.14: How much less shall I answer him, [and] choose out my words [to reason] with him?
^ Jb 9.15: Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer, [but] I would make supplication to my judge.
^ Jb 9.16: If I had called, and he had answered me; [yet] would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
^ Jb 9.17: For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
^ Jb 9.18: He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
^ Jb 9.19: If [I speak] of strength, lo, [he is] strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time [to plead]?
^ Jb 9.20: If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: [if I say], I [am] perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
^ Jb 9.21: [Though] I [were] perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
^ Jb 9.22: This [is] one [thing], therefore I said [it], He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
^ Jb 9.23: If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
^ Jb 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?
^ Jb 9.25: Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
^ Jb 9.26: They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle [that] hasteth to the prey.
^ Jb 9.27: If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort [myself]:
^ Jb 9.28: I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
^ Jb 9.29: [If] I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
^ Jb 9.30: If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
^ Jb 9.31: Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
^ Jb 9.32: For [he is] not a man, as I [am, that] I should answer him, [and] we should come together in judgment.
^ Jb 9.33: Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, [that] might lay his hand upon us both.
^ Jb 9.34: Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
^ Jb 9.35: [Then] would I speak, and not fear him; but [it is] not so with me.
