Verse
Job - ch 9 v 21 - 35
- I am blameless. I don't regard myself. I despise my life.
- "It is all the same. Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked.
- If the scourge kills suddenly, he will mock at the trial of the innocent.
- The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If not he, then who is it?
- "Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away, they see no good,
- They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey.
- If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up;'
- I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent.
- I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain?
- If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye,
- yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes shall 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 no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both.
- Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid;
- then I would speak, and not fear him, for I am not so in myself.
