Job 9
1 And he answered Job and he said.
And Job answers and says:
2 Truly I know that thus and what? will he be justified a person with God.
“Truly I have known that [it is] so, But how is man righteous with God?
3 If someone desires to conduct a case with him not he will answer him one [time] from a thousand.
If he delights to strive with Him—He does 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.
Wise in heart and strong in power—Who has hardened toward Him and is at peace?
5 The [one who] removes mountains and not they know [the one] who he overturns them in anger his.
Who is removing mountains, And they have not known, Who has overturned them in His anger.
6 The [one who] shakes [the] earth from place its and pillars its they tremble!
Who is shaking earth from its place, And its pillars move themselves.
7 The [one who] speaks to the sun and not it shines and behind [the] stars he puts a seal.
Who is commanding to the sun, and it does not rise, And the stars He seals up.
8 [one who] stretches out [the] heavens To only him and [one who] treads on [the] high places of [the] sea.
Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the heights of the sea,
9 [one who] makes [the] Bear Orion and Pleiades and [the] chambers of [the] south.
Making the Great Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the inner chambers of the south.
10 [one who] does Great [things] until there not [is] inquiry and wonders until there not [is] number.
Doing great things until there is no searching, And wonderful, until there is no numbering.
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.
Behold, He goes over by me, and I do not see, And He passes on, and I do not attend to it.
12 There! he will snatch away who? will he turn back him who? will he say to him what? are you doing.
Behold, He snatches away, who brings it back? Who says to Him, What [are] You doing?
13 God not he will turn back anger his (under him *Q(k)*) they lay prostrate [the] helpers of Rahab.
God does not turn back His anger, Proud helpers have bowed under Him.
14 Indeed? for I I will answer him I will choose words my with him.
How much less do I answer Him? Choose out my words 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, I do not answer, For my judgment I make supplication.
16 If I called and he answered me not I believe that he gave ear to voice my.
Though I had called and He answers me, I do not believe that He gives ear [to] my voice.
17 [he] who With a storm he crushes me and he increases wounds my without cause.
Because He bruises me with a storm, And has multiplied my wounds for nothing.
18 Not he permits me to bring back breath my for he surfeits me bitter things.
He does not permit me to refresh my spirit, But fills me with bitter things.
19 If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
If of power, behold, the Strong One; And if of judgment—who convenes me?
20 Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
If I am righteous, my mouth declares me wicked; [If] I am perfect, it declares me perverse.
21 [am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
I am perfect; I do not know my soul, 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 the same thing, therefore I said, He is consuming the perfect and the wicked.
23 If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
If a scourge puts to death suddenly, He laughs 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.
Earth has been given Into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of her judges, If not—where, who [is] he?
25 And days my they have been swift more than a runner they have fled not they have seen good.
My days have been swifter than a runner, They have fled, they have not seen good,
26 They have passed on with ships of reed like an eagle [which] it rushes on food.
They have passed on with ships of reed, As an eagle darts on food.
27 If to say I I will forget complaint my I will let loose face my and I will be cheerful.
Though I say, I forget my talking, I forsake my corner, and I brighten up!
28 I dread all pains my I know that not you will acquit me.
I have been afraid of all my griefs, I have known that You do not acquit me.
29 I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
I become wicked; why [is] this? I labor [in] vain.
30 If I washed myself (in water of *Q(K)*) snow and I cleansed with potash hands my.
If I have washed myself with snow-water, And purified my hands with soap,
31 Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
Then You dip me in corruption, And my garments have detested me.
32 For not [he is] a human like me I will answer him we will come together in judgment.
But if a man like myself—I answer Him, We come together into judgment.
33 Not there between us [is] an arbiter he may put hand his on [the] two of us.
If there were a mediator between us, He places his hand on us both.
34 Let him remove from on me rod his and dread his may not it terrify me.
He turns aside His rod from off me, And His terror does not make me afraid,
35 I will speak and not I will fear him for not [am] thus I with myself.
I speak, and do not fear Him, but I am not right with myself.”
