{Job 9:1} Then Job answered and said, ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:2} I know [it is] so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:3} If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:4} [He is] wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened [himself] against him, and hath prospered? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:5} Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:6} Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:7} Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:8} Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:9} Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:10} Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:11} Lo, he goeth by me, and I see [him] not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:12} Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:13} [If] God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:14} How much less shall I answer him, [and] choose out my words [to reason] with him? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:15} Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer, [but] I would make supplication to my judge. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:16} If I had called, and he had answered me; [yet] would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:17} For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:18} He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:19} If [I speak] of strength, lo, [he is] strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time [to plead? ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:20} If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: [if I say, I am] perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:21} [Though] I [were] perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:22} This [is] one [thing,] therefore I said [it,] He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:23} If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:24} 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? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:25} Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:26} They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle [that] hasteth to the prey. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:27} If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort [myself: ] ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:28} I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:29} [If] I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:30} If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:31} Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:32} For [he is] not a man, as I [am, that] I should answer him, [and] we should come together in judgment. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:33} Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, [that] might lay his hand upon us both. ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:34} Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: ⠀⠀⠀⠀

{Job 9:35} [Then] would I speak, and not fear him; but [it is] not so with me.
