Verse
Job - ch 9 v 21 - 35
- Were I perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
- It is all one; therefore I said, he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
- If the scourge kill suddenly, he mocketh at the trial of the innocent.
- The earth is given over into the hand of the wicked man; he covereth the faces of its judges. If not, who then is it?
- And my days are swifter than a runner: they flee away, they see no good.
- They pass by like skiffs of reed; as an eagle that swoops upon the prey.
- If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my sad countenance, and brighten up,
- I am afraid of all my sorrows; I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
- Be it that I am wicked, why then do I labour in vain?
- If I washed myself with snow-water, and cleansed my hands in purity,
- Then wouldest thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes would 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 not an umpire between us, who should lay his hand upon us both.
- Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his terror make me afraid,
- Then I will speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
