Job 9:1-35 KJV11 - Bible AI

¹Then Job347 answered6030 and said559,

²I know3045 it is so of a truth551: but how should man582 be just6663 with God410? with God: or, before God?

³If he will2654 contend7378 with him, he cannot answer6030 him one259 of a thousand505.

⁴He is wise2450 in heart3824, and mighty533 in strength3581: who hath hardened7185 himself against him, and hath prospered7999?

⁵Which removeth6275 the mountains2022, and they know3045 not: which overturneth2015 them in his anger639.

⁶Which shaketh7264 the earth776 out of her place4725, and the pillars5982 thereof tremble6426.

⁷Which commandeth559 the sun2775, and it riseth2224 not; and sealeth up2856 the stars3556.

⁸Which alone spreadeth out5186 the heavens8064, and treadeth1869 upon the waves1116 of the sea3220. waves: Heb. heights

⁹Which maketh6213 Arcturus5906, Orion3685, and Pleiades3598, and the chambers2315 of the south8486. Arcturus: Heb. Ash, Cesil, and Cimah

¹⁰Which doeth6213 great things1419 past369 finding out2714; yea, and wonders6381 without number4557.

¹¹Lo, he goeth5674 by me, and I see7200 him not: he passeth on2498 also, but I perceive995 him not.

¹²Behold, he taketh away2862, who can hinder7725 him? who will say559 unto him, What doest6213 thou? hinder: Heb. turn him away?

¹³If God433 will not withdraw7725 his anger639, the proud7293 helpers5826 do stoop7817 under him. proud: Heb. helpers of pride, or, strength

¹⁴How much less shall I answer6030 him, and choose out977 my words1697 to reason with him?

¹⁵Whom, though I were righteous6663, yet would I not answer6030, but I would make supplication2603 to my judge8199.

¹⁶If I had called7121, and he had answered6030 me; yet would I not believe539 that he had hearkened238 unto my voice6963.

¹⁷For he breaketh7779 me with a tempest8183, and multiplieth7235 my wounds6482 without cause2600.

¹⁸He will not suffer5414 me to take7725 my breath7307, but filleth7646 me with bitterness4472.

¹⁹If I speak of strength3581, lo, he is strong533: and if of judgment4941, who shall set3259 me a time to plead?

²⁰If I justify6663 myself, mine own mouth6310 shall condemn7561 me: if I say, I am perfect8535, it shall also prove me perverse6140.

²¹Though I were perfect8535, yet would I not know3045 my soul5315: I would despise3988 my life2416.

²²This is one259 thing, therefore I said559 it, He destroyeth3615 the perfect8535 and the wicked7563.

²³If the scourge7752 slay4191 suddenly6597, he will laugh3932 at the trial4531 of the innocent5355.

²⁴The earth776 is given5414 into the hand3027 of the wicked7563: he covereth3680 the faces6440 of the judges8199 thereof; if not, where645, and who is he?

²⁵Now my days3117 are swifter7043 than a post7323: they flee away1272, they see7200 no good2896.

²⁶They are passed away2498 as5973 the swift16 ships591: as the eagle5404 that hasteth2907 to the prey400. swift: or, ships of Ebeh: Heb. ships of desire

²⁷If I say559, I will forget7911 my complaint7879, I will leave off5800 my heaviness6440, and comfort1082 myself:

²⁸I am afraid3025 of all my sorrows6094, I know3045 that thou wilt not hold me innocent5352.

²⁹If I be wicked7561, why then labour3021 I in vain1892?

³⁰If I wash7364 myself with7950 snow water4325 1119, and make my hands3709 never1252 1253 so clean2141;

³¹Yet227 shalt thou plunge2881 me in the ditch7845, and mine own clothes8008 shall abhor8581 me. abhor: or, make me to be abhorred

³²For he is not a man376, as I am, that I should answer6030 him, and we should come935 together3162 in judgment4941.
