1 -Then Job answered:
2 -“Yes, I know that it is so, but how can a mortal be righteous before God?
3 -If one wished to contend with God, he could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.
4 -God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has resisted Him and prospered?
5 -He moves mountains without their knowledge and overturns them in His anger.
6 -He shakes the earth from its place, so that its foundations tremble.
7 -He commands the sun not to shine; He seals off the stars.
8 -He alone stretches out the heavens and treads on the waves of the sea.
9 -He is the Maker of the Bear and Orion, of the Pleiades and the constellations of the south.
10 -He does great things beyond searching out, and wonders without number.
11 -Were He to pass by me, I would not see Him; were He to move, I would not recognize Him.
12 -If He takes away, who can stop Him? Who dares to ask Him, ‘What are You doing?’
13 -God does not restrain His anger; the helpers of Rahab cower beneath Him.
14 -How then can I answer Him or choose my arguments against Him?
15 -For even if I were right, I could not answer. I could only beg my Judge for mercy.
16 -If I summoned Him and He answered me, I do not believe He would listen to my voice.
17 -For He would crush me with a tempest and multiply my wounds without cause.
18 -He does not let me catch my breath, but overwhelms me with bitterness.
19 -If it is a matter of strength, He is indeed mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon Him?
20 -Even if I were righteous, my mouth would condemn me; if I were blameless, it would declare me guilty.
21 -Though I am blameless, I have no concern for myself; I despise my own life.
22 -It is all the same, and so I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23 -When the scourge brings sudden death, He mocks the despair of the innocent.
24 -The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; He blindfolds its judges. If it is not He, then who is it?
25 -My days are swifter than a runner; they flee without seeing good.
26 -They sweep by like boats of papyrus, like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
27 -If I were to say, ‘I will forget my complaint and change my expression and smile,’
28 -I would still dread all my sufferings; I know that You will not acquit me.
29 -Since I am already found guilty, why should I labor in vain?
30 -If I should wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,
31 -then You would plunge me into the pit, and even my own clothes would despise me.
32 -For He is not a man like me, that I can answer Him, that we can take each other to court.
33 -Nor is there a mediator between us, to lay his hand upon us both.
34 -Let Him remove His rod from me, so that His terror will no longer frighten me.
35 -Then I would speak without fear of Him. But as it is, I am on my own.
