Job 9:25-35 ▼

25 My days were swift above a runner: they fled, they saw not good.

26 They glided along with the ships of desire: as the eagle will pounce upon food.

27 If my saying, I will forget my complaint, I will let go my face, and I will be cheerful:

28 I was afraid of all my pains, I knew that thou wilt not acquit me.

29 Shall I do evil, wherefore this shall I labor in vain?

30 If I washed myself in snow-water, and cleansed my hands clean;

31 Then thou wilt immerse me in the ditch, and my garments abhorred me.

32 For not a man as I; I shall answer him, we shall come together in judgment.

33 There is not between us a reprover; he will put his hand upon us two.

34 He will take away his rod from me, and his truth shall not make me afraid.

35 I will speak, and I shall not fear him; but not so am I with myself.
