Verse
Job - ch 9 v 1 - 20
- Then Job answered,
- "Truly I know that it is so, but how can man be just with God?
- If he is pleased to contend with him, he can't answer him one time in a thousand.
- God who is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who has hardened himself against him, and prospered?
- He removes the mountains, and they don't know it, when he overturns them in his anger.
- He shakes the earth out of its place. Its pillars tremble.
- He commands the sun, and it doesn't rise, and seals up the stars.
- He alone stretches out the heavens, and treads on the waves of the sea.
- He makes the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
- He does great things past finding out; yes, marvelous things without number.
- Behold, he goes by me, and I don't see him. He passes on also, but I don't perceive him.
- Behold, he snatches away. Who can hinder him? Who will ask him, 'What are you doing?'
- "God will not withdraw his anger. The helpers of Rahab stoop under him.
- How much less shall I answer him, And choose my words to argue with him?
- Though I were righteous, yet I wouldn't answer him. I would make supplication to my judge.
- If I had called, and he had answered me, yet I wouldn't believe that he listened to my voice.
- For he breaks me with a storm, and multiplies my wounds without cause.
- He will not allow me to catch my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
- If it is a matter of strength, behold, he is mighty! If of justice, 'Who,' says he, 'will summon me?'
- Though I am righteous, my own mouth shall condemn me. Though I am blameless, it shall prove me perverse.
