Job 9
1Then 1
2“ Truly 2 but how can man be just with God? 1
3If he 2 he can’t answer him one time in a thousand. 1
4God 2 Who has hardened himself against him and prospered? 1
5He 2 when he overturns them in his anger. 1
6He shakes 2 Its pillars tremble. 1
7He 2 and seals up the stars. 1
8He 2 and treads on the waves of the sea. 1
9He 2 and the rooms of the south. 1
10He 2 yes, marvellous things without number. 1
11Behold 2 He passes on also, but I don’t perceive him. 1
12Behold 2 Who can hinder him? 2 Who will ask him, ‘ What are you doing?’ 1
13“ God 2 The helpers of Rahab stoop under him. 1
14How 2 and choose my words to argue with him? 1
15Though I 2 I would make supplication to my judge. 1
16If 2 yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice. 1
17For 2 and multiplies my wounds without cause. 1
18He 2 but fills me with bitterness. 1
19If 2 If of justice, ‘ Who,’ says he, ‘ will summon me?’ 1
20Though I am righteous 2 Though I am blameless, it will prove me perverse. 1
21I 2 I don’t respect myself. 2 I despise my life. 1
22“ It 2 Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked. 1
23If the 2 he will mock at the trial of the innocent. 1
24The 2 He covers the faces of its judges. 2 If not he, then who is it? 1
25“ Now 2 They flee away. They see no good. 1
26They 2 as the eagle that swoops on the prey. 1
27If I 2 I will put off my sad face, and cheer up,’ 1
28I 2 I know that you will not hold me innocent. 1
29I 2 Why then do I labour in vain? 1
30If I wash 2 and cleanse my hands with lye, 1
31yet you 2 My own clothes will abhor me. 1
32For 2 that we should come together in judgement. 1
33There 2 that might lay his hand on us both. 1
34Let him 2 Let his terror not make me afraid; 1
35then 2 for I am not so in myself.
