1Then Job answered ,
2“Truly I know that it is so ,
but how can man be just with God?
3If he is pleased to contend with him ,
he can ’t answer him one time in a thousand.
4God is wise in heart , and mighty in strength .
Who has hardened himself against him and prospered ?
5He removes the mountains , and they don’t know it ,
when he overturns them in his anger.
6He shakes the earth out of its place .
Its pillars tremble .
7He commands the sun and it doesn’t rise ,
and seals up the stars .
8He alone stretches out the heavens ,
and treads on the waves of the sea .
9He makes the Bear , Orion , and the Pleiades ,
and the rooms of the south .
10He does great things past finding out ;
yes, marvellous things without number .
11Behold , he goes by me , and I don’t see him .
He passes on also, but I don’t perceive him .
12Behold , he snatches away .
Who can hinder him ?
Who will ask him , ‘What are you doing ?’
13“God will not withdraw his anger.
The helpers of Rahab stoop under him .
14How much less will I answer him ,
and choose my words to argue with him ?
15Though I were righteous , yet I wouldn’t answer him .
I would make supplication to my judge .
16If I had called , and he had answered me ,
yet I wouldn’t believe that he listened to my voice .
17For he breaks me with a storm ,
and multiplies my wounds without cause .
18He will not allow me to catch my breath ,
but fills me with bitterness .
19If it is a matter of strength , behold , he is mighty !
If of justice , ‘Who ,’ says he , ‘will summon me ?’
20Though I am righteous , my own mouth will condemn me .
Though I am blameless , it will prove me perverse .
21I am blameless .
I don’t respect myself .
I despise my life .
22“It is all the same .
Therefore I say he destroys the blameless and the wicked .
23If the scourge kills suddenly ,
he will mock at the trial of the innocent .
24The earth is given into the hand of the wicked .
He covers the faces of its judges .
If not he , then who is it ?
25“Now my days are swifter than a runner .
They flee away . They see no good .
26They have passed away as the swift ships,
as the eagle that swoops on the prey.
27If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint ,
I will put off my sad face , and cheer up,’
28I am afraid of all my sorrows .
I know that you will not hold me innocent .
29I will be condemned .
Why then do I labour in vain ?
30If I wash myself with snow ,
and cleanse my hands with lye ,
31yet you will plunge me in the ditch .
My own clothes will abhor me .
32For he is not a man , as I am, that I should answer him ,
that we should come together in judgement.
33There is no umpire between us ,
that might lay his hand on us both .
34Let him take his rod away from me .
Let his terror not make me afraid ;
35then I would speak , and not fear him ,
for I am not so in myself.
