Job - ch 9 v 1 - 20
- Then Job answered and said,
- I know it to be so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?
- If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.
- He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?
- Who removeth the mountains, and they know not: who overturneth them in his anger.
- Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and its pillars tremble.
- Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.
- Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.
- Who maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.
- Who doeth great things past finding out; yes, and wonders without number.
- Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
- Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say to him, What doest thou?
- If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
- How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
- Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
- If I had called, and he had answered me; yet I would not believe that he had hearkened to my voice.
- For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
- He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
- If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
- If I justify myself, my own mouth will condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, that also will prove me perverse.
