009:001

I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God

009:002

If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand

009:003

He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered

009:004

Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger

009:005

Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble

009:006

Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars

009:007

Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea

009:008

Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south

009:009

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

009:010

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

009:011

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

009:012

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

009:013

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

009:014

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

009:015

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

009:016

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

009:017

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

009:018

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

009:019

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

009:020

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

009:021

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

009:022

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

009:023

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

009:024

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

009:025

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

009:026

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

009:027

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

009:028

If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain

009:029

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

009:030

Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me

009:031

For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment

009:032

Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both

009:033

Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me

009:034

Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me
