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.

New American Standard Bible 1995
25 “Now (A)my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, (B)they see no good.
26 “They slip by like (C)reed boats,
Like an (D)eagle that swoops on [a]its prey.
27 “Though I say, ‘I will forget (E)my complaint,
I will leave off 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.
