Verse
Job - ch 9 v 21 - 35
- I have done no wrong; I give no thought to what becomes of me; I have no desire for life.
- It is all the same to me; so I say, He puts an end to the sinner and to him who has done no wrong together.
- If death comes suddenly through disease, he makes sport of the fate of those who have done no wrong.
- The land is given into the power of the evil-doer; the faces of its judges are covered; if not by him, then who has done it?
- My days go quicker than a post-runner: they go in flight, they see no good.
- They go rushing on like reed-boats, like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food.
- If I say, I will put my grief out of mind, I will let my face be sad no longer and I will be bright;
- I go in fear of all my pains; I am certain that I will not be free from sin in your eyes.
- You will not let me be clear of sin! why then do I take trouble for nothing?
- If I am washed with snow water, and make my hands clean with soap;
- Then you will have me pushed into the dust, so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing.
- For he is not a man as I am, that I might give him an answer, that we might come together before a judge.
- There is no one to give a decision between us, who might have control over us.
- Let him take away his rod from me and not send his fear on me:
- Then I would say what is in my mind without fear of him; for there is no cause of fear in myself.
