Job 9
1 And he answered Job and he said.
And 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 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 shall choose to strive with him, he cannot answer him one thing 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 hath hardened himself against him, and had peace?
5 The [one who] removes mountains and not they know [the one] who he overturns them in anger his.
Who removeth mountains, and they know it not, when he overturneth them in his anger;
6 The [one who] shakes [the] earth from place its and pillars its they tremble!
Who shaketh the earth out of its place, and the pillars thereof tremble;
7 The [one who] speaks to the sun and not it shines and behind [the] stars he puts a seal.
Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, and he sealeth 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 spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the high waves of the sea;
9 [one who] makes [the] Bear Orion and Pleiades and [the] chambers of [the] south.
Who maketh 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 doeth great things past finding out, and wonders 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 goeth by me, and I see [him] not; and he passeth along, and I perceive him not.
12 There! he will snatch away who? will he turn back him who? will he say to him what? are you doing.
Behold, he taketh away: who will hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
13 God not he will turn back anger his (under him *Q(k)*) they lay prostrate [the] helpers of Rahab.
God withdraweth not his anger; the proud helpers 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, choose out my words [to strive] 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] would I 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, 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.
He, who crusheth me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18 Not he permits me to bring back breath my for he surfeits me bitter things.
He suffereth me not to take my breath, for he filleth me with bitternesses.
19 If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
Be it a question of strength, lo, [he is] strong; and be it of judgment, who will set me a time?
20 Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
If I justified myself, mine own mouth would condemn me; were I perfect, he would prove me perverse.
21 [am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
Were I perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul: I would 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; therefore I said, he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23 If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
If the scourge kill suddenly, he mocketh 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 over into the hand of the wicked [man]; he covereth the faces of its judges. If not, who then is it?
25 And days my they have been swift more than a runner they have fled not they have seen good.
And 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 pass by like skiffs of reed; as an eagle that swoops upon 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 leave off my [sad] countenance, and brighten up,
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 wilt not hold me innocent.
29 I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
Be it that I am wicked, why then do I labour in vain?
30 If I washed myself (in water of *Q(K)*) snow and I cleansed with potash hands my.
If I washed myself with snow-water, and cleansed my hands in purity,
31 Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
Then wouldest thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes would 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 not an umpire between us, who should 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 will speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
