Job 9:10-25
-
10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number.
-
11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not.
-
12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
-
13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
-
14 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
-
15 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.
-
17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
-
18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
-
19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
-
20 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.
-
22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
-
23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
-
24 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?
-
25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
