Job 9

From Textus Receptus

• 1 Then Job answered and said,

• 1 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God?

• 1 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand.

• 1 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered?

• 1 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger.

• 1 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.

• 1 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars.

• 1 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea.

• 1 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south.

• 10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.

• 1 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.

• 1 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?

• 1 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.

• 1 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?

• 1 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.

• 16 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.

• 1 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.

• 1 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.

• 1 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?

• 1 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.

• 21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.

• 1 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.

• 1 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.

• 1 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he?

• 1 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.

• 1 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.

• 1 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:

• 1 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

• 1 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

• 1 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;

• 31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.

• 1 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.

• 1 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.

• 1 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

• 1 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
