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: For how can man be just before God?
3 If someone desires to conduct a case with him not he will answer him one [time] from a thousand.
If he choose to contend with him, He cannot answer him to one charge 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 excellent in wisdom, 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.
He removeth the mountains, and they know it not; He overturneth them in his anger.
6 The [one who] shakes [the] earth from place its and pillars its they tremble!
He 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.
He 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.
He alone spreadeth out the heavens, And walketh upon the high waves of the sea.
9 [one who] makes [the] Bear Orion and Pleiades and [the] chambers of [the] south.
He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the secret chambers of the South.
10 [one who] does Great [things] until there not [is] inquiry and wonders until there not [is] number.
He doeth great things past finding out, Yea, wonderful 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, but I see him not; He passeth along, but I do not perceive him.
12 There! he will snatch away who? will he turn back him who? will he say to him what? are you doing.
Lo! he seizeth, and who can hinder him? Who will say to 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 turn away his anger; The proud helpers are brought low before 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 words to contend with him?
15 [I] who Though I am righteous not I will answer to judge my I will seek favor.
Though I were innocent, I would not answer him; I would cast myself on the mercy of my judge.
16 If I called and he answered me not I believe that he gave ear to voice my.
Should I call, and he make answer to me, I could not believe that he listened to my voice, —
17 [he] who With a storm he crushes me and he increases wounds my without cause.
He who falleth upon 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.
Who 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 look to strength, “Lo! here am I!” [[saith he, ]] If to justice, “Who shall summon me to trial?”
20 Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
Though I were upright, yet must my own mouth condemn me; Though I were innocent, He would prove me perverse.
21 [am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
Though I were innocent, I would not care for myself; 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 will affirm, He destroyeth the righteous and the wicked alike.
23 If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
When the scourge bringeth sudden destruction, He laugheth at the sufferings 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 hands of the wicked; He covereth the face of the judges thereof; 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.
My days have been swifter than a courier; They have fled away; they have seen no good.
26 They have passed on with ships of reed like an eagle [which] it rushes on food.
They have gone by like the reed-skiffs; Like the eagle, darting upon his 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 lamentation, I will change my countenance, and take courage,
28 I dread all pains my I know that not you will acquit me.
Still am I in dread of the multitude of my sorrows; For I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29 I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
I shall be found guilty; Why then should I labor in vain?
30 If I washed myself (in water of *Q(K)*) snow and I cleansed with potash hands my.
If I wash myself in snow, And cleanse my hands with lye,
31 Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
Still wilt thou plunge me into the pit, So that my own clothes will 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 may contend with him, And that we may go together into judgment;
33 Not there between us [is] an arbiter he may put hand his on [the] two of us.
There is no umpire between us, Who may 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 from me his rod, And not dismay me with his terrors,
35 I will speak and not I will fear him for not [am] thus I with myself.
Then I will speak, and not be afraid of him: For I am not so at heart.
