Verse
Job - ch 9 v 1 - 20
- And Job made answer and said,
- Truly, I see that it is so: and how is it possible for a man to get his right before God?
- If a man was desiring to go to law with him, he would not be able to give him an answer to one out of a thousand questions.
- He is wise in heart and great in strength: who ever made his face hard against him, and any good came of it?
- It is he who takes away the mountains without their knowledge, overturning them in his wrath:
- Who is moving the earth out of its place, so that its pillars are shaking:
- Who gives orders to the sun, and it does not give its light; and who keeps the stars from shining.
- By whose hand the heavens were stretched out, and who is walking on the waves of the sea:
- Who made the Bear and Orion, and the Pleiades, and the store-houses of the south:
- Who does great things not to be searched out; yes, wonders without number.
- See, he goes past me and I see him not: he goes on before, but I have no knowledge of him.
- If he puts out his hand to take, by whom may it be turned back? who may say to him, What are you doing?
- God's wrath may not be turned back; the helpers of Rahab were bent down under him.
- How much less may I give an answer to him, using the right words in argument with him?
- Even if my cause was good, I would not be able to give an answer; I would make request for grace from him who was against me.
- If I had sent for him to be present, and he had come, I would have no faith that he would give ear to my voice.
- For I would be crushed by his storm, my wounds would be increased without cause.
- He would not let me take my breath, but I would be full of bitter grief.
- If it is a question of strength, he says, Here I am! and if it is a question of a cause at law, he says, Who will give me a fixed day?
- Though I was in the right, he would say that I was in the wrong; I have done no evil; but he says that I am a sinner.
