Verse
Job - ch 9 v 21 - 35
- Although I should be simple, even this my soul shall be ignorant of, and I shall be weary of my life.
- One thing there is that I have spoken, both the innocent and the wicked he consumeth.
- If he scourge, let him kill at once, and not laugh at the pains of the innocent.
- The earth is given into the hand of the wicked, he covereth the face of the judges thereof: and if it be not he, who is it then?
- My days have been swifter than a post: they have fled away and have not seen good.
- They have passed by as ships carrying fruits, as an eagle flying to the prey.
- If I say: I will not speak so: I change my face, and am tormented with sorrow.
- I feared all my works, knowing that thou didst not spare the offender.
- But if so also I am wicked, why have I laboured in vain?
- If I be washed as it were with snow waters, and my hands shall shine ever so clean :
- Yet thou shalt plunge me in filth, and my garments shall abhor me,
- For I shall not answer a man that is like myself: nor one that may be heard with me equally in judgment.
- There is none that may be able to reprove both, and to put his hand between both.
- Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me.
- I will speak, and will not fear him: for I cannot answer while I am in fear.
