Verse
Job - ch 9 v 21 - 35
- Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
- This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
- If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh 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 not, where, and who is he?
- 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 hasteth to the prey.
- If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
- I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
- If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
- If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
- Yet shalt 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, and we should come together in judgment.
- Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
- Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
- Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
