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.
I know of a truth that it is so: for how shall a mortal man be just before the Lord?
3 If someone desires to conduct a case with him not he will answer him one [time] from a thousand.
For if he would enter into judgment with him, [God] would not hearken to him, so that he should answer to one of his charges of a thousand.
4 Wise of heart and strong of power who? has he shown stubbornness to him and he has remained unharmed.
For he is wise in mind, and mighty, and great: who has hardened himself against him and endured?
5 The [one who] removes mountains and not they know [the one] who he overturns them in anger his.
Who wears out the mountains, and [men] know it not: who overturns them in anger.
6 The [one who] shakes [the] earth from place its and pillars its they tremble!
Who shakes the [earth] under heaven from its foundations, and its pillars totter.
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 rises not; and he 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 has stretched out the heavens, and walks on the sea as on firm ground.
9 [one who] makes [the] Bear Orion and Pleiades and [the] chambers of [the] south.
Who makes Pleias, and Hesperus, and Arcturus, 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 and unsearchable things; glorious also and excellent things, innumerable.
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.
If ever he should go beyond me, I shall not see him: if he should pass by me, neither thus have I known [it].
12 There! he will snatch away who? will he turn back him who? will he say to him what? are you doing.
If he would take away, who shall turn him back? or who shall say to him, What hast thou done?
13 God not he will turn back anger his (under him *Q(k)*) they lay prostrate [the] helpers of Rahab.
For [if] he has turned away [his] anger, the whales under heaven have stooped under him.
14 Indeed? for I I will answer him I will choose words my with him.
Oh then that he would hearken to me, or judge my cause.
15 [I] who Though I am righteous not I will answer to judge my I will seek favor.
For though I be righteous, he will not hearken to me: I will intreat his judgment.
16 If I called and he answered me not I believe that he gave ear to voice my.
And if I should call and he should not hearken, I cannot believe that he has listened to my voice.
17 [he] who With a storm he crushes me and he increases wounds my without cause.
Let him not crush me with a dark storm: but he has made by bruises many without cause.
18 Not he permits me to bring back breath my for he surfeits me bitter things.
For he suffers me not to take breath, but he has filled me with bitterness.
19 If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
For indeed he is strong in power: who then shall resist his judgment?
20 Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
For though I should seem righteous, my mouth will be profane: and though I should seem blameless, I shall be proved perverse.
21 [am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
For even if I have sinned, I know it not [in] my soul: but my life is taken away.
22 [is] one It there-fore I say [the] blameless and [the] wicked he [is] bringing to an end.
Wherefore I said, Wrath slays the great and mighty man.
23 If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
For the worthless die, but the righteous are laughed to scorn.
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.
For they are delivered into the hands of the unrighteous [man]: he covers the faces of the judges [of the earth]: but if it be not he, who is it?
25 And days my they have been swift more than a runner they have fled not they have seen good.
But my life is swifter than a post: [my days] have fled away, and they knew it not.
26 They have passed on with ships of reed like an eagle [which] it rushes on food.
Or again, is there a trace of [their] path [left] by ships? or is there one of the flying eagle as it seeks [its] prey?
27 If to say I I will forget complaint my I will let loose face my and I will be cheerful.
And if I should say, I will forget to speak, I will bow down my face and groan;
28 I dread all pains my I know that not you will acquit me.
I quake in all my limbs, for I know that thou wilt not leave me alone [as] innocent.
29 I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
But since I am ungodly, why have I not died?
30 If I washed myself (in water of *Q(K)*) snow and I cleansed with potash hands my.
For if I should wash myself with snow, and purge myself with pure hands,
31 Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
thou hadst thoroughly plunged me in filth, and my garment had abhorred me.
32 For not [he is] a human like me I will answer him we will come together in judgment.
For thou art not man like me, with whom I could contend, that we might come together to judgment.
33 Not there between us [is] an arbiter he may put hand his on [the] two of us.
Would that [he] our mediator were [present], and a reprover, and one who should hear [the cause] between both.
34 Let him remove from on me rod his and dread his may not it terrify me.
Let him remove [his] rod from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
35 I will speak and not I will fear him for not [am] thus I with myself.
so shall I not be afraid, but I will speak: for I am not thus conscious [of guilt].
