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; and 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 one should desire to contend with Him, he could not 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 hath 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.
Who removeth the 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 her 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 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 stretcheth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the 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; yea, marvellous 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 goeth by me, and I see Him not. He passeth on also, but 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 snatcheth away, who can 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 will not withdraw His anger; the helpers of Rahab did 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 arguments 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 Him that contendeth with me.
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 would I not believe that He would hearken unto my voice —
17 [he] who With a storm he crushes me and he increases wounds my without cause.
He that would break me with a tempest, and multiply my wounds without cause;
18 Not he permits me to bring back breath my for he surfeits me bitter things.
That would not suffer me to take my breath, but fill me with bitterness.
19 If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
If it be a matter of strength, lo, He is mighty! and if of justice, who will appoint 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.
Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me; though I be innocent, He shall prove me perverse.
21 [am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
I am innocent — I regard not 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 — therefore I say: He destroyeth the innocent and the wicked.
23 If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the calamity of the guiltless.
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 covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if it be 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 vulture that swoopeth 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 pains, I know that Thou wilt not hold me guiltless.
29 I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
I shall be condemned; 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 wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
31 Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
Yet wilt Thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine 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 arbiter betwixt us, that 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 would I speak, and not fear Him; for I am not so with myself.
