Job: Chapter 9 (douayrheims)

Job 9
- 1 And Job answered, and said:
- 2 Indeed I know it is so, and that man cannot be justified, compared with God.
- 3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one for a thousand.
- 4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath resisted him, and hath had peace?
- 5 Who hath removed mountains, and they whom he overthrew in his wrath, knew it not.
- 6 Who shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble.
- 7 Who commandeth the sun, and it riseth not: and shutteth up the stars, as it were, under a seal:
- 8 Who alone spreadeth out the heavens, and walketh upon the waves of the sea.
- 9 Who maketh Arcturus, and Orion, and Hyades, and the inner parts of the south.
- 10 Who doth things great and incomprehensible, and wonderful, of which there is no number.
- 11 If he come to me, I shall not see him: if he depart, I shall not understand.
- 12 If he examine on a sudden, who shall answer him? or who can say: Why dost thou so?
- 13 God, whose wrath no man can resist, and under whom they stoop that bear up the world.
- 14 What am I then, that I should answer him, and have words with him?
- 15 I, who although I should have any just thing, would not answer, but would make supplication to my judge.
- 16 And if he should hear me when I call, I should not believe that he had heard my voice.
- 17 For he shall crush me in a whirlwind, and multiply my wounds even without cause.
- 18 He alloweth not my spirit to rest, and he filleth me with bitterness.
- 19 If strength be demanded, he is most strong: if equity of judgment, no man dare bear witness for me.
- 20 If I would justify myself, my own mouth shall condemn me: if I would shew myself innocent, he shall prove me wicked.
- 21 Although I should be simple, even this my soul shall be ignorant of, and I shall be weary of my life.
- 22 One thing there is that I have spoken, both the innocent and the wicked he consumeth.
- 23 If he scourge, let him kill at once, and not laugh at the pains of the innocent.
- 24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked, he covereth the face of the judges thereof: and if it be not he, who is it then?
- 25 My days have been swifter than a post: they have fled away and have not seen good.
- 26 They have passed by as ships carrying fruits, as an eagle flying to the prey.
- 27 If I say: I will not speak so: I change my face, and am tormented with sorrow.
- 28 I feared all my works, knowing that thou didst not spare the offender.
- 29 But if so also I am wicked, why have I laboured in vain?
- 30 If I be washed, as it were, with snow waters, and my hands shall shine ever so clean:
- 31 Yet thou shalt plunge me in filth, and my garments shall abhor me.
- 32 For I shall not answer a man that is like myself: nor one that may be heard with me equally in judgment.
- 33 There is none that may be able to reprove both, and to put his hand between both.
- 34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me.
- 35 I will speak, and will not fear him: for I cannot answer while I am in fear.
