< Job 9 >

1 Then Job answered and said,
And he answered Job and he said.
2 “I truly know that this is so. But how can a person be in the right with God?
Truly I know that thus and what? will he be justified a person with God.
3 If he wants to argue with God, he cannot answer him once in a thousand times.
If someone desires to conduct a case with him not he will answer him one [time] from a thousand.
4 God is wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has ever hardened himself against him and succeeded?—
Wise of heart and strong of power who? has he shown stubbornness to him and he has remained unharmed.
5 he who removes the mountains without warning anyone when he overturns them in his anger—
The [one who] removes mountains and not they know [the one] who he overturns them in anger his.
6 he who shakes the earth out of its place and sets its supports trembling.
The [one who] shakes [the] earth from place its and pillars its they tremble!
7 It is the same God who tells the sun not to rise, and it does not, and who covers up the stars,
The [one who] speaks to the sun and not it shines and behind [the] stars he puts a seal.
8 who by himself stretches out the heavens and tramples down the waves of the sea,
[one who] stretches out [the] heavens To only him and [one who] treads on [the] high places of [the] sea.
9 who makes the Bear, Orion, the Pleiades, and the constellations of the south.
[one who] makes [the] Bear Orion and Pleiades and [the] chambers of [the] south.
10 He does great and unsearchable things, and wonderful things that cannot be counted.
[one who] does Great [things] until there not [is] inquiry and wonders until there not [is] number.
11 See, he goes by me, and I do not see him; he passes on also, but I do not perceive him.
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 takes something away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, 'What are you doing?'
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 withdraw his anger; the helpers of Rahab bow beneath him.
God not he will turn back anger his (under him *Q(k)*) they lay prostrate [the] helpers of Rahab.
14 How much less could I answer him, could I choose words to reason with him?
Indeed? for I I will answer him I will choose words my with him.
15 Even if I were righteous, I could not answer him; I could only plead for mercy with my judge.
[I] who Though I am righteous not I will answer to judge my I will seek favor.
16 Even if I called and he answered me, I would not believe that he was listening to my voice.
If I called and he answered me not I believe that he gave ear to voice my.
17 For he breaks me with a tempest and multiplies my wounds without cause.
[he] who With a storm he crushes me and he increases wounds my without cause.
18 He does not allow me to regain my breath; but he fills me with bitterness.
Not he permits me to bring back breath my for he surfeits me bitter things.
19 If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?
If to power a strong [one] there! and if to justice who? will he summon me.
20 Though I am in the right, my own mouth would condemn me; and though I am blameless, my words would prove me to be guilty.
Though I am righteous own mouth my it will condemn as guilty me [am] blameless I and it declared guilty me.
21 I am blameless, but I do not care any more about myself; I despise my own life.
[am] blameless I not I know self my I reject life my.
22 It makes no difference, which is why I say that he destroys blameless people and wicked people together.
[is] one It there-fore I say [the] blameless and [the] wicked he [is] bringing to an end.
23 When a whip suddenly kills, he mocks the despair of the innocent.
If a scourge it kills suddenly [the] despair of innocent [ones] he mocks.
24 The earth is given into the hand of wicked people; God covers the faces of its judges. If it is not he who does it, then who is 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 are swifter than a running messenger; my days flee away; they see no good anywhere.
And days my they have been swift more than a runner they have fled not they have seen good.
26 They are as fast as papyrus reed boats, and as fast as the eagle that swoops down on its victim.
They have passed on with ships of reed like an eagle [which] it rushes on food.
27 If I said that I would forget about my complaints, that I would take off my sad face and be happy,
If to say I I will forget complaint my I will let loose face my and I will be cheerful.
28 I would be afraid of all my sorrows because I know that you will not consider me innocent.
I dread all pains my I know that not you will acquit me.
29 I will be condemned; why, then, should I try in vain?
I I will be guilty why? this vanity will I labor.
30 If I washed myself with snow water and made my hands ever so clean,
If I washed myself (in water of *Q(K)*) snow and I cleansed with potash hands my.
31 God would plunge me in a ditch, and my own clothes would be disgusted with me.
Then in pit you will dip me and they will abhor me own clothes my.
32 For God is not a man, as I am, that I could answer him, that we could come together in court.
For not [he is] a human like me I will answer him we will come together in judgment.
33 There is no judge between us who might lay his hand upon us both.
Not there between us [is] an arbiter he may put hand his on [the] two of us.
34 There is no other judge who could take God's rod off me, who could keep his terror from frightening me.
Let him remove from on me rod his and dread his may not it terrify me.
35 Then would I speak up and not fear him. But as things are now, I cannot do that.
I will speak and not I will fear him for not [am] thus I with myself.
