Job 9:10-30

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

10 He performs wonders that cannot be fathomed, miracles that cannot be counted.

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

11 When he passes me, I cannot see him; when he goes by, I cannot perceive him.

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

12 If he snatches away, who can stop him? Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’

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

13 God does not restrain his anger; even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.

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

14 “How then can I dispute with him? How can I find words to argue with him?

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

15 Though I were innocent, I could not answer him; I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.

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

16 Even if I summoned him and he responded, I do not believe he would give me a hearing.

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

17 He would crush me with a storm and multiply my wounds for no reason.

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

18 He would not let me catch my breath but would overwhelm me with misery.

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

19 If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty! And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him ?

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

20 Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.

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

21 “Although I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.

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

22 It is all the same; that is why I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’

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

23 When a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks the despair 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?

24 When a land falls into the hands of the wicked, he blindfolds its judges. If it is not he, then who is it?

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

25 “My days are swifter than a runner; they fly away without a glimpse of joy.

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

26 They skim past like boats of papyrus, like eagles swooping down on their prey.

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

27 If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will change my expression, and smile,’

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

28 I still dread all my sufferings, for I know you will not hold me innocent.

29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?

29 Since I am already found guilty, why should I struggle in vain?

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

30 Even if I washed myself with soap and my hands with cleansing powder,
