Job - ch 9 v 1 - 20
- And Job answered and said,
- Of a truth I know it is so; but how can man be just with ùGod?
- If he shall choose to strive with him, he cannot answer him one thing of a thousand.
- He is wise in heart and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and had peace?
- Who removeth mountains, and they know it not, when he overturneth them in his anger;
- Who shaketh the earth out of its place, and the pillars thereof tremble;
- Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, and he sealeth up the stars;
- Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the high waves of the sea;
- Who maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south;
- Who doeth great things past finding out, and wonders without number.
- Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not; and he passeth along, and I perceive him not.
- Behold, he taketh away: who will hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?
- +God withdraweth not his anger; the proud helpers stoop under him:
- How much less shall I answer him, choose out my words to strive 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, I would not believe that he hearkened to my voice, --
- He, who crusheth me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
- He suffereth me not to take my breath, for he filleth me with bitternesses.
- Be it a question of strength, lo, he is strong; and be it of judgment, who will set me a time?
- If I justified myself, mine own mouth would condemn me; were I perfect, he would prove me perverse.
