Verse
Job - ch 9 v 21 - 35
- I am perfect; I regard not myself; I despise my life.
- It is all one; therefore I say, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
- If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the trial of the innocent.
- The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He covereth the faces of the judges thereof: If `it be' not `he', who then is it?
- Now my days are swifter than a post: They flee away, they see no good,
- They are passed away as the swift ships; As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.
- If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will put off my `sad' countenance, and be of good cheer;
- I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
- I shall be condemned; Why then do I labor in vain?
- If I wash myself with snow water, And make my hands never so clean;
- Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch, And mine own clothes shall abhor me.
- For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, That we should come together in judgment.
- There is no umpire betwixt us, That might lay his hand upon us both.
- Let him take his rod away from me, And let not his terror make me afraid:
- Then would I speak, and not fear him; For I am not so in myself.
