Job 9
1 And he answered Job and he said.
Then Job answered and said,
2 Truly I know that thus and what? will he be justified a person with God.
Of a truth I know that it is so. But how can man be just with God?
3 If someone desires to conduct a case with him not he will answer him one [time] from a thousand.
If he is pleased to contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
4 Wise of heart and strong of power who? has he shown stubbornness to him and he has remained unharmed.
He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?
5 The [one who] removes mountains and not they know [the one] who he overturns them in anger his.
He who removes the mountains, and they do not know it when he overturns them in his anger,
6 The [one who] shakes [the] earth from place its and pillars its they tremble!
who shakes the earth out of its place, and the pillars of it tremble,
7 The [one who] speaks to the sun and not it shines and behind [the] stars he puts a seal.
who commands the sun, and it does not rise, and seals up the stars,
8 [one who] stretches out [the] heavens To only him and [one who] treads on [the] high places of [the] sea.
who alone stretches out the heavens, and treads upon the waves of the sea,
9 [one who] makes [the] Bear Orion and Pleiades and [the] chambers of [the] south.
who makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south,
10 [one who] does Great [things] until there not [is] inquiry and wonders until there not [is] number.
who does great things past finding out, yea, marvelous things without number.
11 There! he will pass by at me and not I will see [him] and he may pass on and not I will perceive him.
Lo, he goes by me, and I do not see him. He also passes on, but I do not perceive him.
12 There! he will snatch away who? will he turn back him who? will he say to him what? are you doing.
Behold, he seizes; who can hinder him? Who will say to him, What are thou doing?
13 God not he will turn back anger his (under him *Q(k)*) they lay prostrate [the] helpers of Rahab.
God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
14 Indeed? for I I will answer him I will choose words my with him.
How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
15 [I] who Though I am righteous not I will answer to judge my I will seek favor.
Whom, though I were righteous, yet I would not answer. I would make supplication to my judge.
16 If I called and he answered me not I believe that he gave ear to voice my.
If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I would not believe that he hearkened to my voice.
17 [he] who With a storm he crushes me and he increases wounds my without cause.
For he breaks me with a tempest, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 Not he permits me to bring back breath my for he surfeits me bitter things.
He will not allow me to take my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
19 If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
If of strength, lo, he is mighty! And if of justice, who will summon me?
20 Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
Though I be righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me. Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
21 [am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
Though I were perfect, I do not regard myself. I despise my life.
22 [is] one It there-fore I say [the] blameless and [the] wicked he [is] bringing to an end.
It is all one thing. Therefore I say, He destroys the perfect and the wicked.
23 If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
If the scourge kills suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
24 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.
The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of the judges of it. If not he, who then is it?
25 And days my they have been swift more than a runner they have fled not they have seen good.
Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away. They see no good,
26 They have passed on with ships of reed like an eagle [which] it rushes on food.
They are passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.
27 If to say I I will forget complaint my I will let loose face my and I will be cheerful.
If I say, I will forget my complaint. I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer,
28 I dread all pains my I know that not you will acquit me.
I am afraid of all my sorrows. I know that thou will not hold me innocent.
29 I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
30 If I washed myself (in water of *Q(K)*) snow and I cleansed with potash hands my.
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands ever so clean,
31 Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
yet thou will plunge me in the ditch, and my own clothes shall abhor me.
32 For not [he is] a human like me I will answer him we will come together in judgment.
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment.
33 Not there between us [is] an arbiter he may put hand his on [the] two of us.
There is no umpire between us who might lay his hand upon us both.
34 Let him remove from on me rod his and dread his may not it terrify me.
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his terror make me afraid.
35 I will speak and not I will fear him for not [am] thus I with myself.
Then I would speak, and not be afraid of him, for I am not so in myself.
