Job 9:25-31

Legacy Standard Bible

²⁵ “Now ^(A)my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away; ^(B)they do not see good.
²⁶ They sweep by like ^(C)reed boats,
Like an ^(D)eagle that swoops on its food.
²⁷ Though I say, ‘I will forget ^(E)my musing,
I will forsake my sad countenance and be cheerful,’
²⁸ I am ^(F)afraid of all my pains;
I know that ^(G)You will not acquit me.
²⁹ I am accounted ^(H)wicked;
Why then should I toil in vain?
³⁰ If I should ^(I)wash myself with snow
And cleanse ^(J)my hands with lye,
³¹ Yet You would plunge me into the pit,
And my own clothes would abhor me.
