Job 9
1 Then Job answered:
And he answered Job and he said.
2 “Yes, I know that it is so, but how can a mortal be righteous before God?
Truly I know that thus and what? will he be justified a person with God.
3 If one wished to contend with God, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.
If someone desires to conduct a case with him not he will answer him one [time] from a thousand.
4 God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered?
Wise of heart and strong of power who? has he shown stubbornness to him and he has remained unharmed.
5 He moves mountains without their knowledge and overturns them in His anger.
The [one who] removes mountains and not they know [the one] who he overturns them in anger his.
6 He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble.
The [one who] shakes [the] earth from place its and pillars its they tremble!
7 He commands the sun not to shine; He seals off the stars.
The [one who] speaks to the sun and not it shines and behind [the] stars he puts a seal.
8 He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
[one who] stretches out [the] heavens To only him and [one who] treads on [the] high places of [the] sea.
9 He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, of the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
[one who] makes [the] Bear Orion and Pleiades and [the] chambers of [the] south.
10 He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.
[one who] does Great [things] until there not [is] inquiry and wonders until there not [is] number.
11 Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; were He to move, I would not recognize Him.
There! he will pass by at me and not I will see [him] and he may pass on and not I will perceive him.
12 If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’
There! he will snatch away who? will he turn back him who? will he say to him what? are you doing.
13 God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him.
God not he will turn back anger his (under him *Q(k)*) they lay prostrate [the] helpers of Rahab.
14 How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?
Indeed? for I I will answer him I will choose words my with him.
15 For even if I were right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.
[I] who Though I am righteous not I will answer to judge my I will seek favor.
16 If I summoned Him and He answered me, I do not believe He would listen to my voice.
If I called and he answered me not I believe that he gave ear to voice my.
17 For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause.
[he] who With a storm he crushes me and he increases wounds my without cause.
18 He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness.
Not he permits me to bring back breath my for he surfeits me bitter things.
19 If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?
If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
20 Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty.
Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
21 Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.
[am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
22 It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
[is] one It there-fore I say [the] blameless and [the] wicked he [is] bringing to an end.
23 When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
A land - it has been given in [the] hand of a wicked [person] [the] face of judges its he covers if not then who? [is] it.
25 My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.
And days my they have been swift more than a runner they have fled not they have seen good.
26 They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
They have passed on with ships of reed like an eagle [which] it rushes on food.
27 If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’
If to say I I will forget complaint my I will let loose face my and I will be cheerful.
28 I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.
I dread all pains my I know that not you will acquit me.
29 Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?
I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
30 If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,
If I washed myself (in water of *Q(K)*) snow and I cleansed with potash hands my.
31 then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.
Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
32 For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.
For not [he is] a human like me I will answer him we will come together in judgment.
33 Nor is there a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon us both.
Not there between us [is] an arbiter he may put hand his on [the] two of us.
34 Let Him remove His rod from me, so that His terror will no longer frighten me.
Let him remove from on me rod his and dread his may not it terrify me.
35 Then I would speak without fear of Him. But as it is, I am on my own.
I will speak and not I will fear him for not [am] thus I with myself.
