Job 9:2-35

9:2
I know
<03045> (8804)
[it is] so of a truth
<0551>_:
but how should man
<0582>
be just
<06663> (8799)
with God
<0410>_?
{with God: or, before God?}
9:3
If he will
<02654> (8799)
contend
<07378> (8800)
with him, he cannot answer
<06030> (8799)
him one
<0259>
of a thousand
<0505>_.
9:4
[He is] wise
<02450>
in heart
<03824>_,
and mighty
<0533>
in strength
<03581>_:
who hath hardened
<07185> (8689)
[himself] against him, and hath prospered
<07999> (8799)_?
9:5
Which removeth
<06275> (8688)
the mountains
<02022>_,
and they know
<03045> (8804)
not: which overturneth
<02015> (8804)
them in his anger
<0639>_.
9:6
Which shaketh
<07264> (8688)
the earth
<0776>
out of her place
<04725>_,
and the pillars
<05982>
thereof tremble
<06426> (8691)_.
9:7
Which commandeth
<0559> (8802)
the sun
<02775>_,
and it riseth
<02224> (8799)
not; and sealeth up
<02856> (8799)
the stars
<03556>_.
9:8
Which alone spreadeth out
<05186> (8802)
the heavens
<08064>_,
and treadeth
<01869> (8802)
upon the waves
<01116>
of the sea
<03220>_.
{waves: Heb. heights}
9:9
Which maketh
<06213> (8802)
Arcturus
<05906>_,
Orion
<03685>_,
and Pleiades
<03598>_,
and the chambers
<02315>
of the south
<08486>_.
{Arcturus...: Heb. Ash, Cesil, and Cimah}
9:10
Which doeth
<06213> (8802)
great things
<01419>
past
<0369>
finding out
<02714>_;
yea, and wonders
<06381> (8737)
without number
<04557>_.
9:11
Lo, he goeth
<05674> (8799)
by me, and I see
<07200> (8799)
[him] not: he passeth on
<02498> (8799)
also, but I perceive
<0995> (8799)
him not.
9:12
Behold, he taketh away
<02862> (8799)_,
who can hinder
<07725> (8686)
him? who will say
<0559> (8799)
unto him, What doest
<06213> (8799)
thou? {hinder...: Heb. turn him away?}
9:13
[If] God
<0433>
will not withdraw
<07725> (8686)
his anger
<0639>_,
the proud
<07293>
helpers
<05826> (8802)
do stoop
<07817> (8804)
under him. {proud...: Heb. helpers of pride, or, strength}
9:14
How much less shall I answer
<06030> (8799)
him, [and] choose out
<0977> (8799)
my words
<01697>
[to reason] with him?
9:15
Whom, though I were righteous
<06663> (8804)_,
[yet] would I not answer
<06030> (8799)_,
[but] I would make supplication
<02603> (8691)
to my judge
<08199> (8781)_.
9:16
If I had called
<07121> (8804)_,
and he had answered
<06030> (8799)
me; [yet] would I not believe
<0539> (8686)
that he had hearkened
<0238> (8686)
unto my voice
<06963>_.
9:17
For he breaketh
<07779> (8799)
me with a tempest
<08183>_,
and multiplieth
<07235> (8689)
my wounds
<06482>
without cause
<02600>_.
9:18
He will not suffer
<05414> (8799)
me to take
<07725> (8687)
my breath
<07307>_,
but filleth
<07646> (8686)
me with bitterness
<04472>_.
9:19
If [I speak] of strength
<03581>_,
lo, [he is] strong
<0533>_:
and if of judgment
<04941>_,
who shall set
<03259> (8686)
me a time [to plead]?
9:20
If I justify
<06663> (8799)
myself, mine own mouth
<06310>
shall condemn
<07561> (8686)
me: [if I say], I [am] perfect
<08535>_,
it shall also prove me perverse
<06140> (8799)_.
9:21
[Though] I [were] perfect
<08535>_,
[yet] would I not know
<03045> (8799)
my soul
<05315>_:
I would despise
<03988> (8799)
my life
<02416>_.
9:22
This [is] one
<0259>
[thing], therefore I said
<0559> (8804)
[it], He destroyeth
<03615> (8764)
the perfect
<08535>
and the wicked
<07563>_.
9:23
If the scourge
<07752>
slay
<04191> (8686)
suddenly
<06597>_,
he will laugh
<03932> (8799)
at the trial
<04531>
of the innocent
<05355>_.
9:24
The earth
<0776>
is given
<05414> (8738)
into the hand
<03027>
of the wicked
<07563>_:
he covereth
<03680> (8762)
the faces
<06440>
of the judges
<08199> (8802)
thereof; if not, where
<0645>_,
[and] who [is] he?
9:25
Now my days
<03117>
are swifter
<07043> (8804)
than a post
<07323> (8801)_:
they flee away
<01272> (8804)_,
they see
<07200> (8804)
no good
<02896>_.
9:26
They are passed away
<02498> (8804)
as
<05973>
the swift
<016>
ships
<0591>_:
as the eagle
<05404>
[that] hasteth
<02907> (8799)
to the prey
<0400>_.
{swift...: or, ships of Ebeh: Heb. ships of desire}
9:27
If I say
<0559> (8800)_,
I will forget
<07911> (8799)
my complaint
<07879>_,
I will leave off
<05800> (8799)
my heaviness
<06440>_,
and comfort
<01082> (8686)
[myself]:
9:28
I am afraid
<03025> (8804)
of all my sorrows
<06094>_,
I know
<03045> (8804)
that thou wilt not hold me innocent
<05352> (8762)_.
9:29
[If] I be wicked
<07561> (8799)_,
why then labour
<03021> (8799)
I in vain
<01892>_?
9:30
If I wash
<07364> (8694)
myself with
<07950>
snow water
<04325> <01119>_,
and make my hands
<03709>
never
<01252> (8676) <01253>
so clean
<02141> (8689)_;
9:31
Yet
<0227>
shalt thou plunge
<02881> (8799)
me in the ditch
<07845>_,
and mine own clothes
<08008>
shall abhor
<08581> (8765)
me. {abhor...: or, make me to be abhorred}
9:32
For [he is] not a man
<0376>_,
as I [am, that] I should answer
<06030> (8799)
him, [and] we should come
<0935> (8799)
together
<03162>
in judgment
<04941>_.
9:33
Neither is
<03426>
there any daysman
<03198> (8688)
betwixt us, [that] might lay
<07896> (8799)
his hand
<03027>
upon us both
<08147>_.
{any...: Heb. one that should argue} {daysman: or, umpire}
9:34
Let him take
<05493> (0)
his rod
<07626>
away
<05493> (8686)
from me, and let not his fear
<0367>
terrify
<01204> (8762)
me:
9:35
[Then] would I speak
<01696> (8762)_,
and not fear
<03372> (8799)
him; but [it is] not so with me. {it is...: Heb. I am not so with myself}
