Job - ch 9 v 1 - 20
- And Job answereth and saith: --
- Truly I have known that `it is' so, And what -- is man righteous with God?
- If he delight to strive with Him -- He doth not answer him one of a thousand.
- Wise in heart and strong in power -- Who hath hardened toward Him and is at peace?
- Who is removing mountains, And they have not known, Who hath overturned them in His anger.
- Who is shaking earth from its place, And its pillars move themselves.
- Who is speaking to the sun, and it riseth not, And the stars He sealeth up.
- Stretching out the heavens by Himself, And treading on the heights of the sea,
- Making Osh, Kesil, and Kimah, And the inner chambers of the south.
- Doing great things till there is no searching, And wonderful, till there is no numbering.
- Lo, He goeth over by me, and I see not, And He passeth on, and I attend not to it.
- Lo, He snatches away, who bringeth it back? Who saith unto Him, `What dost Thou?'
- God doth not turn back His anger, Under Him bowed have proud helpers.
- How much less do I -- I answer Him? Choose out my words with Him?
- Whom, though I were righteous, I answer not, For my judgment I make supplication.
- Though I had called and He answereth me, I do not believe that He giveth ear `to' my voice.
- Because with a tempest He bruiseth me, And hath multiplied my wounds for nought.
- He permitteth me not to refresh my spirit, But filleth me with bitter things.
- If of power, lo, the Strong One; And if of judgment -- who doth convene me?
- If I be righteous, Mine mouth doth declare me wicked, Perfect I am! -- it declareth me perverse.
