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 it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with El?
3 If someone desires to conduct a case with him not he will answer him one [time] from a thousand.
If he will 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 hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
5 The [one who] removes mountains and not they know [the one] who he overturns them in anger his.
Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.
6 The [one who] shakes [the] earth from place its and pillars its they tremble!
Which 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.
Which 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.
Which alone spreadeth 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.
Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and 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.
Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, 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: 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 taketh 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.
Eloah will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do 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 would I not answer, but 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 would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
17 [he] who With a storm he crushes me and he increases wounds my without cause.
For he breaketh 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 will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19 If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
20 Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
21 [am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
Though I were 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.
This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23 If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
If the scourge slay 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 covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?
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 post: 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 hasteth to 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 heaviness, and comfort myself:
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.
If I be wicked, why then labour I 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 shalt 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, and we should come together in judgment.
33 Not there between us [is] an arbiter he may put hand his on [the] two of us.
Neither is there any daysman 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 fear terrify me:
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; but it is not so with me.
