Job 9:28-35 (Common English Bible w/ Apocrypha)
View In My Bible
28
I'm still afraid of all my suffering; I know that you won't declare me innocent.
29
I myself am thought guilty; why have I tried so hard in vain?
30
If I wash myself with snow, purify my hands with soap,
31
then you'll hurl me into a slimy pit so that my clothes detest me.
32
God is not a man like me—someone I could answer— so that we could come together in court.
33
Oh, thata there were a mediator between us; he would lay his hand on both of us,
34
remove his rod from me, so his fury wouldn't frighten me.
35
Then I would speak—unafraid— for I'm not that way.
