Job 9:25-31
American Standard Version
Job 9:25-31
American Standard Version
25 Now my days are swifter than a [a]post:
They flee away, they see no good.
26 They are passed away as the [b]swift ships;
As the eagle that swoopeth on the prey.
27 If I say, I will forget my complaint,
I will put off my sad countenance, and [c]be of good cheer;
28 I am afraid of all my sorrows,
I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29 I shall be condemned;
Why then do I labor in vain?
30 If I wash myself [d]with snow water,
And [e]make my hands never so clean;
31 Yet wilt thou plunge me in the ditch,
And mine own clothes shall abhor me.
Job 9:25-31
New International Version
Job 9:25-31
New International Version
25 “My days are swifter than a runner;(A)
they fly away without a glimpse of joy.(B)
26 They skim past(C) like boats of papyrus,(D)
like eagles swooping down on their prey.(E)
27 If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,(F)
I will change my expression, and smile,’
28 I still dread(G) all my sufferings,
for I know you will not hold me innocent.(H)
29 Since I am already found guilty,
why should I struggle in vain?(I)
30 Even if I washed myself with soap(J)
and my hands(K) with cleansing powder,(L)
31 you would plunge me into a slime pit(M)
so that even my clothes would detest me.(N)
