Job 9:25-31

Wycliffe Bible

²⁵ My days were swifter than a courier; they fled away, and saw not good.

²⁶ They passed away as [the] ships bearing apples, as an eagle flying to (its) meat (like an eagle flying to its food).

²⁷ When I say, I shall not speak so; I change my face, and I am tormented with sorrow. (If I say, I shall not speak thus; I shall change my face, and shall comfort myself.)

²⁸ I dread all my works, witting that thou sparest not the trespasser. (I fear all that I must suffer, for I know that thou sparest not the trespasser.)

²⁹ And if I am also thus wicked, why have I travailed in vain? (And if I am held to be wicked, then why travail I in vain?)

³⁰ (Even) Though I am washed as with waters of snow, and (even) though mine hands shine as most clean,

³¹ nevertheless thou shalt dip me in filths, and my clothes shall hold, or show, me abominable.
