Chapter 9
Job Jubilee2 9:2  I know [it is] so of a truth, but how shall a man be justified with God?
Job Jubilee2 9:3  If he desires to contend with him, he will not be able to answer him one [thing] of a thousand.
Job Jubilee2 9:4  [He is] wise in heart and mighty in strength; who has hardened [himself] against him and remained in peace?
Job Jubilee2 9:5  Who uproots the mountains in his anger, and they know not who overturned them.
Job Jubilee2 9:6  Who removes the earth out of her place and causes her pillars to tremble.
Job Jubilee2 9:7  Who commands the sun, and it rises not; and seals up the stars.
Job Jubilee2 9:8  He alone extends the heavens and walks upon the waves of the sea.
Job Jubilee2 9:9  He who made Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the secret places of the south.
Job Jubilee2 9:10  He who does great things past finding out, and wonders without number.
Job Jubilee2 9:11  Behold, he shall pass before me, and I shall not see him; and he shall pass on, and I shall not understand him.
Job Jubilee2 9:12  Behold, he shall take away, who can cause him to restore? Who shall say unto him, What doest thou?
Job Jubilee2 9:13  God will not withdraw his anger, and under him those who help, unto pride are bent over.
Job Jubilee2 9:14  How much less shall I answer him [and] choose out my words to [reason] with him?
Job Jubilee2 9:15  Who even though I am righteous, [yet] I would not answer, [but] I would make supplication to my judge.
Job Jubilee2 9:16  Who if I were to invoke him, and he answered me; [yet] I would not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
Job Jubilee2 9:17  For he has broken me with a tempest and has multiplied my wounds without cause.
Job Jubilee2 9:18  He will not suffer me to take my breath but has filled me with bitterness.
Job Jubilee2 9:19  If [we were to speak] of [his] strength, he is certainly strong; and if of [his] judgment, who shall cause us to meet?
Job Jubilee2 9:20  If I justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: [if I say], I [am] perfect, he shall prove me perverse.
Job Jubilee2 9:21  [If] I [say I am] imperfect, I know not my soul; I would condemn my life.
Job Jubilee2 9:22  One thing remains, that I say, He consumes the perfect and the wicked.
Job Jubilee2 9:23  If [it is] the scourge, it slays suddenly, and it does not laugh at the trial of the innocent.
Job Jubilee2 9:24  The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covers the faces of its judges; if [it is] not [he who does this then], who is it and where [is] he?
Job Jubilee2 9:25  Now my days are swifter than a post; they fled away, they never saw good.
Job Jubilee2 9:26  They are passed away as the ships of Ebeh as the eagle [that] throws himself on the prey.
Job Jubilee2 9:27  If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness and comfort [myself];
Job Jubilee2 9:28  I am afraid of all my troubles; I know that thou wilt not hold me guiltless.
Job Jubilee2 9:29  [If] I am wicked, why then shall I toil in vain?
Job Jubilee2 9:30  If I wash myself with snow water and make my hands never so clean;
Job Jubilee2 9:31  yet thou shalt plunge me into the pit, and my own clothes shall abhor me.
Job Jubilee2 9:32  For [he is] not a man, as I [am], [that] I should answer him, [and] we should come together unto judgment.
Job Jubilee2 9:33  Neither is there any arbiter between us, [that] might lay his hand upon us both.
Job Jubilee2 9:34  Let him take his tormentor away from me, and his terror will not perturb me.
Job Jubilee2 9:35  [Then] I would speak and not fear him, because in this state I am not myself.:
