Job 9:25-31
Holman Christian Standard Bible
25 My days fly by faster than a runner;[a](A)
they flee without seeing any good.(B)
26 They sweep by like boats made of papyrus,
like an eagle swooping down on its prey.(C)
27 If I said, “I will forget my complaint,
change my expression, and smile,”
28 I would still live in terror of all my pains.(D)
I know You will not acquit me.(E)
29 Since I will be found guilty,(F)
why should I labor in vain?
30 If I wash myself with snow,
and cleanse my hands with lye,
31 then You dip me in a pit of mud,
and my own clothes despise me!
