Book 29 : KETUVIM - JOB - Chapter 009

09:001

Then Job answered and said

09:002

Of a truth I know that it is so; and how can man be just with G-d

09:003

If one should desire to contend with Him, he could not answer Him one of a thousand

09:004

He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength; who hath hardened himself against Him, and prospered

09:005

Who removeth the mountains, and they know it not, when He overturneth them in His anger

09:006

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

09:007

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

09:008

Who alone stretcheth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea

09:009

Who maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south

09:010

Who doeth great things past finding out; yea, marvellous things without number

09:011

Lo, He goeth by me, and I see Him not. He passeth on also, but I perceive Him not

09:012

Behold, He snatcheth away, who can hinder Him? Who will say unto Him: 'What doest Thou?

09:013

G-d will not withdraw His anger; the helpers of Rahab did stoop under Him

09:014

How much less shall I answer Him, and choose out my arguments with Him

09:015

Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer; I would make supplication to Him that contendeth with me

09:016

If I had called, and He had answered me; yet would I not believe that He would hearken unto my voice-

09:017

He that would break me with a tempest, and multiply my wounds without cause

09:018

That would not suffer me to take my breath, but fill me with bitterness

09:019

If it be a matter of strength, lo, He is mighty! and if of justice, who will appoint me a time

09:020

Though I be righteous, mine own mouth shall condemn me; though I be innocent, He shall prove me perverse

09:021

I am innocent--I regard not myself, I despise my life

09:022

It is all one--therefore I say: He destroyeth the innocent and the wicked

09:023

If the scourge slay suddenly, He will mock at the calamity of the guiltless

09:024

The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if it be not He, who then is it

09:025

Now my days are swifter than a runner; they flee away, they see no good

09:026

They are passed away as the swift ships; as the vulture that swoopeth on the prey

09:027

If I say: 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad countenance, and be of good cheer'

09:028

I am afraid of all my pains, I know that Thou wilt not hold me guiltless

09:029

I shall be condemned; why then do I labour in vain

09:030

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

09:031

Yet wilt Thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me

09:032

For He is not a man, as I am, that I should answer Him, that we should come together in judgment

09:033

There is no arbiter betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both

09:034

Let Him take His rod away from me, and let not His terror make me afraid

09:035

Then would I speak, and not fear Him; for I am not so with myself
