Verse
Job - ch 9 v 1 - 20
- Then Job answered and said,
- Of a truth I know that it is so: But how can man be just with God?
- If he be pleased to contend with him, He cannot answer him one of a thousand.
- `He is' wise in heart, and mighty in strength: Who hath hardened himself against him, and prospered?-
- `Him' that removeth the mountains, and they know it not, When he overturneth them in his anger;
- That shaketh the earth out of its place, And the pillars thereof tremble;
- That commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, And sealeth up the stars;
- That alone stretcheth out the heavens, And treadeth upon the waves of the sea;
- That maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
- That doeth great things past finding out, Yea, marvellous things without number.
- Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: He passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
- Behold, he seizeth `the prey', who can hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
- God will not withdraw his anger; The helpers of Rahab do stoop under him.
- How much less shall I answer him, And choose out my words `to reason' with him?
- Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.
- If I had called, and he had answered me, Yet would I not believe that he hearkened unto my voice.
- For he breaketh me with a tempest, And multiplieth my wounds without cause.
- He will not suffer me to take my breath, But filleth me with bitterness.
- If `we speak' of strength, lo, `he is' mighty! And if of justice, Who, `saith he', will summon me?
- Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me: Though I be perfect, it shall prove me perverse.
