The Book of Job 9

9 And Job answered and said,

2 “I know truly that this is so.

But how will a man be righteous with God?

3 If he desires to contend with him,

he will not answer him one from a thousand.

4 He is wise in heart and mighty in strength.

Who has hardened himself against him and been whole?—

5 the one removing mountains and they do not know,

who in his nose overturns them;

6 the one shaking the earth from its place

and causing its pillars to tremble;

7 the one speaking to the sun and it does not rise,

and upon the stars he seals;

8 stretching out the heavens by himself

and treading on the waves of the sea;

9 making the Bear, Orion, the Pleiades,

and the chambers of the south;

10 doing great things until there is no searching

and distinguished things until there is no number.

11 Behold, he goes by me, but I do not see,

and he passes, but I do not perceive him.

12 If he takes away, who will turn him back?

Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’

13 God will not turn aside his nose;

the helpers of Rahab bow beneath him.

14 Indeed that I will answer him,

choose words with him!—

15 whom, if I were righteous, I would not answer;

I would plead to my judge for mercy.

16 If I called and he answered me,

I would not believe that he was giving ear to my voice,

17 who would break me with a tempest

and multiply my wounds for nothing.

18 He does not allow me to cause my breath to return,

for he fills me with bitterness.

19 If to strength, behold, he is mighty!

And if to justice, who will summon him?

20 If I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me;

if I were blameless, yet it would convict me.

21 I am blameless. I do not know my soul;

I loathe my life.

22 It is one; therefore I have said,

‘The blameless and the wicked, he is destroying.’

23 When a scourge suddenly kills,

he mocks the despair of the innocent ones.

24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked.

He covers the faces of its judges.

If not, then who is it?

25 And my days are swifter than a runner, they flee.

They do not see good.

26 They glide with boats of papyrus,

as an eagle pounces on food.

27 If I said, ‘Let me forget my complaint,

let me change my face,

let me be cheerful,’

28 I would fear all my sorrows;

I know that you would not acquit me.

29 I am wicked;

why, then, would I toil in vain?

30 If I washed myself with water of snow

and cleansed my hands with lye,

31 then you would plunge me into a ditch,

and my clothes would abhor me.

32 For I would not be answering a man like me,

we would not be coming together into judgment.

33 There would be no judge between us

who would lay his hand upon the two of us,

34 who would turn from upon me his rod,

and his terror, may it not frighten me.

35 I would speak and I would not fear him.

But I am not thus with me.
