Job 9
1 Then Job replied,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 “Yes, I certainly know that [much of] what you said is true. But (how can anyone say to God, ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it?’/no one can say to God ‘I (am innocent/have not done what is wrong) and prove it.’) [RHQ]
Truly I know that thus and what? will he be justified a person with God.
3 If someone wanted to argue with God [about that], God could ask him 1,000 questions, and that person would not be able to answer any of them!
If someone desires to conduct a case with him not he will answer him one [time] from a thousand.
4 God is very wise [IDM] and very powerful; no one who has tried to challenge God has been able to win.
Wise of heart and strong of power who? has he shown stubbornness to him and he has remained unharmed.
5 He even moves mountains, without them (OR, anyone) knowing about it. When he is angry, he turns them upside down.
The [one who] removes mountains and not they know [the one] who he overturns them in anger his.
6 He sends earthquakes that shake the ground; he causes the pillars that support the earth to tremble.
The [one who] shakes [the] earth from place its and pillars its they tremble!
7 [Some days] he speaks to the sun, and it does not rise, and [some nights] he prevents the stars from shining.
The [one who] speaks to the sun and not it shines and behind [the] stars he puts a seal.
8 He alone (stretched out/put in place) the sky; he alone puts his feet on the waves (OR, on the huge sea monster).
[one who] stretches out [the] heavens To only him and [one who] treads on [the] high places of [the] sea.
9 He put in their places [the clusters/groups of stars that are called] The Dipper/Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the stars in the southern sky.
[one who] makes [the] Bear Orion and Pleiades and [the] chambers of [the] south.
10 Only he does great things that we cannot understand; he does more marvelous things than we are able to count.
[one who] does Great [things] until there not [is] inquiry and wonders until there not [is] number.
11 He passes by where I am, but I do not see him; he moves further on, but I do not see him go.
There! he will pass by at me and not I will see [him] and he may pass on and not I will perceive him.
12 If he [wants to] snatch something away, no one [RHQ] can hinder him; no one dares to ask him, ‘Why are you doing that?’ [RHQ]
There! he will snatch away who? will he turn back him who? will he say to him what? are you doing.
13 God will not very easily stop being angry; he defeated [MTY] those who [tried to] help Rahab, [the great sea monster].
God not he will turn back anger his (under him *Q(k)*) they lay prostrate [the] helpers of Rahab.
14 “So, [if God took me to court], what could I say [MTY] to answer him?
Indeed? for I I will answer him I will choose words my with him.
15 Even though I (would be innocent/would not have done what is wrong), I would not be able to answer him. All I could do would be to request God, my judge/accuser, to act mercifully toward me.
[I] who Though I am righteous not I will answer to judge my I will seek favor.
16 If I summoned him to [come to the courtroom] and he said that he would come, I would not believe that he would pay attention to what I would say.
If I called and he answered me not I believe that he gave ear to voice my.
17 He sends storms to batter me, and he bruises me many times (without any reason to do that/even though I am innocent).
[he] who With a storm he crushes me and he increases wounds my without cause.
18 [It is as though] he will not let me get/catch my breath, because he causes me to suffer all the time.
Not he permits me to bring back breath my for he surfeits me bitter things.
19 If I would try to (wrestle with/fight against) him, [there is no way that I could defeat him, ] [because] he is stronger than I am. If I would request him to appear in court, there is no one who could [RHQ] force him to go there.
If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
20 Even though I was innocent, what I would say would cause him to say that I must be punished [MTY]; even though I had not done anything wrong, he would prove that I am guilty.
Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
21 “I have not done what is wrong, but that is not important. I despise continuing to remain alive.
[am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
22 But it doesn’t matter, because God will get rid of [all of us, ] both those who are innocent and those who are wicked.
[is] one It there-fore I say [the] blameless and [the] wicked he [is] bringing to an end.
23 When people experience disaster and it causes them to suddenly die, God laughs at it, even if they are innocent.
If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
24 God has allowed wicked people to control [what happens in] the world. [It is as though] he has caused judges to be blindfolded, [with the result that they cannot judge fairly]. If it is not God who has put wicked people in control, who has done it?
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.
25 “My days go by very quickly, like a fast runner; [it is as though] they run away, and nothing good happens to me on those days.
And days my they have been swift more than a runner they have fled not they have seen good.
26 My life goes by very rapidly, like a boat made from reeds sailing swiftly, or like an eagle that swoops down to seize a small animal.
They have passed on with ships of reed like an eagle [which] it rushes on food.
27 If I smile and say [to God], ‘I will forget what I am complaining about; I will stop looking sad and try to be cheerful/happy,’
If to say I I will forget complaint my I will let loose face my and I will be cheerful.
28 then I become afraid because of all that I am suffering, because I know that God does not consider that I am innocent.
I dread all pains my I know that not you will acquit me.
29 He will (condemn me/declare that I should be punished), so why should I keep trying in vain [to defend myself]?
I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
30 If I washed myself with snow or cleansed my hands with lye/soap [to get rid of my guilt],
If I washed myself (in water of *Q(K)*) snow and I cleansed with potash hands my.
31 he would still throw me into a filthy pit; as a result [it would be as though] even my clothes would detest me.
Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
32 “God is not a human, as I am, so there is no way that I could answer him [to prove that I am innocent] if we went together to have a trial [in a courtroom].
For not [he is] a human like me I will answer him we will come together in judgment.
33 There is no one to (mediate/hear us and decide who is right), no one who has authority over both of us [IDM].
Not there between us [is] an arbiter he may put hand his on [the] two of us.
34 I wish/desire that he would stop punishing [MTY] me, and that he would not continue to terrify me.
Let him remove from on me rod his and dread his may not it terrify me.
35 If he did that, I would declare [that I am innocent] without being afraid of him, because I know that I really have not [done what is wrong like God thinks that I have].”
I will speak and not I will fear him for not [am] thus I with myself.
