Job 9:21-31

21 I am innocent, but I no longer care. I am sick of living.

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

22 Nothing matters; innocent or guilty, God will destroy us.

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

23 When an innocent person suddenly dies, God laughs.

23 When a scourge brings sudden death, he mocks the despair of the innocent.

24 God gave the world to the wicked. He made all the judges blind. And if God didn't do it, who did?

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 My days race by, not one of them good.

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

26 My life passes like the swiftest boat, as fast as an eagle swooping down on a rabbit.

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

27 If I smile and try to forget my pain, all my suffering comes back to haunt me;

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

28 I know that God does hold me guilty.

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

29 Since I am held guilty, why should I bother?

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

30 No soap can wash away my sins.

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

31 God throws me into a pit with filth, and even my clothes are ashamed of me.

31 you would plunge me into a slime pit so that even my clothes would detest me.
