| 9:1 |  hen Iob answered, and said, |
|
| 9:2 | I know it is so of a trueth: but howe should man be iust with God. |
 |
| 9:3 | If he will contend with him, he cannot answere him one of a thousand. | |
| 9:4 | He is wise in heart, and mightie in strength: who hath hardened himselfe against him, and hath prospered? | |
| 9:5 | Which remoueth the mountains, and they know not: which ouerturneth them in his anger: | |
| 9:6 | Which shaketh the earth out of her place, & the pillars thereof tremble: | |
| 9:7 | Which commandeth the Sunne, and it riseth not: and sealeth vp the starres. | |
| 9:8 | Which alone spreadeth out the heauens, and treadeth vpon the waues of the Sea. |
|
| 9:9 | Which maketh Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades, and the chambers of the South. |
|
| 9:10 | Which doeth great things past finding out, yea and wonders without number. | |
| 9:11 | Loe, hee goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceiue him not. | |
| 9:12 | Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say vnto him, What doest thou? |
|
| 9:13 | If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers doe stoupe vnder him. |
|
| 9:14 | How much lesse shall I answere him, and choose out my words to reason with him? | |
| 9:15 | Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answere, but I would make supplication to my Iudge. | |
| 9:16 | If I had called, and had answered me, yet would I not beleeue that he had hearkened vnto my voice: | |
| 9:17 | For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. | |
| 9:18 | Hee will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse. | |
| 9:19 | If I speake of strength, loe, hee is strong: and if of iudgement, who shall set me a time to pleade? | |
| 9:20 | If I iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prooue me peruerse. | |
| 9:21 | Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soule: I would despise my life. | |
| 9:22 | This is one thing, therefore I said it; he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. | |
| 9:23 | If the scourge slay suddenly, hee will laugh at the triall of the innocent. | |
| 9:24 | The earth is giuen into the hand of the wicked: he couereth the faces of the Iudges thereof; if not, where, and who is hee? | |
| 9:25 | Now my dayes are swifter then a Poste: they flee away, they see no good. | |
| 9:26 | They are passed away as the ships: as the Eagle that hasteth to the pray. |
|
| 9:27 | If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leaue off my heauinesse, and comfort my selfe. | |
| 9:28 | I am afraid of all my sorrowes, I know that thou wilt not holde me innocent. | |
| 9:29 | If I be wicked, why then labour I in vaine? | |
| 9:30 | If I wash my selfe with snow water, and make my handes neuer so cleane: | |
| 9:31 | Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine owne clothes shall abhorre me. |
|
| 9:32 | For he is not a man as I am, that I should answere him, and we should come together in iudgement. | |
| 9:33 | Neither is there any dayes-man betwixt vs, that might lay his hand vpon vs both. |
|
| 9:34 | Let him take his rodde away from me, & let not his feare terrifie me: | |
| 9:35 | Then would I speake, and not feare him; but it is not so with me. |
