Job 9 — GMV

9 Verse 1 Then Job answered and said, ^{Verse 2} I know of a truth that it is so: ^{Verse 3} For if he would enter into judgment with him, ^{Verse 4} For he is wise in mind, and mighty, and great: ^{Verse 5} Who wears out the mountains, and men know it not: ^{Verse 6} Who shakes the earth under heaven from its foundations, ^{Verse 7} Who commands the sun, and it rises not; ^{Verse 8} Who alone has stretched out the heavens, ^{Verse 9} Who makes Pleiades, and Hesperus, and Arcturus, and the chambers of the south. ^{Verse 10} Who does great and unsearchable things; ^{Verse 11} If ever he should go beyond me, I shall not see him: ^{Verse 12} If he would take away, who shall turn him back? ^{Verse 13} For if he has turned away his anger, ^{Verse 14} Oh then that he would hearken to me, or judge my cause. ^{Verse 15} For though I be righteous, he will not hearken to me: ^{Verse 16} And if I should call and he should not hearken, ^{Verse 17} Let him not crush me with a dark storm: ^{Verse 18} For he suffers me not to take breath, ^{Verse 19} For indeed he is strong in power: ^{Verse 20} For though I should seem righteous, my mouth will be profane: ^{Verse 21} For even if I have sinned, I know it not in my soul: ^{Verse 22} Wherefore I said, Wrath slays the great and mighty man. ^{Verse 23} For the worthless die, ^{Verse 24} For they are delivered into the hands of the unrighteous man: ^{Verse 25} But my life is swifter than a post: ^{Verse 26} Or again, is there a trace of their path left by ships? ^{Verse 27} And if I should say, I will forget to speak, ^{Verse 28} I quake in all my limbs, ^{Verse 29} But since I am ungodly, why have I not died? ^{Verse 30} For if I should wash myself with snow, ^{Verse 31} Thou hadst thoroughly plunged me in filth, ^{Verse 32} For thou art not man like me, with whom I could contend, ^{Verse 33} Would that he our mediator were present, and a reprover, ^{Verse 34} Let him remove his rod from me, ^{Verse 35} So shall I not be afraid, but I will speak:
