91And Job answered and said,+2Of a truth I know it is so; but how can man be just withGod?+3If he shall choose to strive with him, he cannot answer him one thing of a thousand.+4He is wise in heart and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and had peace?+5Who removeth mountains, and they know it not, when he overturneth them in his anger;+6Who shaketh the earth out of its place, and the pillars thereof tremble;+7Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not, and he sealeth up the stars;+8Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the high waves of the sea;+9Who maketh the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, and the chambers of the south;+10Who doeth great things past finding out, and wonders without number.+11Lo, he goeth by me, and I see [him] not; and he passeth along, and I perceive him not.+12Behold, he taketh away: who will hinder him? Who will say unto him, What doest thou?+13God withdraweth not his anger; the proud helpers stoop under him:+14How much less shall I answer him, choose out my words [to strive] with him?+15Whom, though I were righteous, [yet] would I not answer; I would make supplication to my judge.+16If I had called, and he had answered me, I would not believe that he hearkened to my voice, —+17He, who crusheth me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.+18He suffereth me not to take my breath, for he filleth me with bitternesses.+19Be it a question of strength, lo, [he is] strong; and be it of judgment, who will set me a time?+20If I justified myself, mine own mouth would condemn me; were I perfect, he would prove me perverse.+21Were I perfect, [yet] would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.+22It is all one; therefore I said, he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.+23If the scourge kill suddenly, he mocketh at the trial of the innocent.+24The earth is given over into the hand of the wicked [man]; he covereth the faces of its judges. If not, who then is it?+25And my days are swifter than a runner: they flee away, they see no good.+26They pass by like skiffs of reed; as an eagle that swoops upon the prey.+27If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my [sad] countenance, and brighten up,+28I am afraid of all my sorrows; I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.+29Be it that I am wicked, why then do I labour in vain?+30If I washed myself with snow-water, and cleansed my hands in purity,+31Then wouldest thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes would abhor me.+32For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him; that we should come together in judgment.+33There is not an umpire between us, who should lay his hand upon us both.+34Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his terror make me afraid,+35[Then] I will speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
