Job 9:25-35

9:25

Now my days
<03117>

are swifter
<07043> (8804)

than a post
<07323> (8801)_:

they flee away
<01272> (8804)_,

they see
<07200> (8804)

no good
<02896>_.

9:26

They are passed away
<02498> (8804)

as
<05973>

the swift
<016>

ships
<0591>_:

as the eagle
<05404>

[that] hasteth
<02907> (8799)

to the prey
<0400>_.

{swift...: or, ships of Ebeh: Heb. ships of desire}

9:27

If I say
<0559> (8800)_,

I will forget
<07911> (8799)

my complaint
<07879>_,

I will leave off
<05800> (8799)

my heaviness
<06440>_,

and comfort
<01082> (8686)

[myself]:

9:28

I am afraid
<03025> (8804)

of all my sorrows
<06094>_,

I know
<03045> (8804)

that thou wilt not hold me innocent
<05352> (8762)_.

9:29

[If] I be wicked
<07561> (8799)_,

why then labour
<03021> (8799)

I in vain
<01892>_?

9:30

If I wash
<07364> (8694)

myself with
<07950>

snow water
<04325> <01119>_,

and make my hands
<03709>

never
<01252> (8676) <01253>

so clean
<02141> (8689)_;

9:31

Yet
<0227>

shalt thou plunge
<02881> (8799)

me in the ditch
<07845>_,

and mine own clothes
<08008>

shall abhor
<08581> (8765)

me. {abhor...: or, make me to be abhorred}

9:32

For [he is] not a man
<0376>_,

as I [am, that] I should answer
<06030> (8799)

him, [and] we should come
<0935> (8799)

together
<03162>

in judgment
<04941>_.

9:33

Neither is
<03426>

there any daysman
<03198> (8688)

betwixt us, [that] might lay
<07896> (8799)

his hand
<03027>

upon us both
<08147>_.

{any...: Heb. one that should argue} {daysman: or, umpire}

9:34

Let him take
<05493> (0)

his rod
<07626>

away
<05493> (8686)

from me, and let not his fear
<0367>

terrify
<01204> (8762)

me:

9:35

[Then] would I speak
<01696> (8762)_,

and not fear
<03372> (8799)

him; but [it is] not so with me. {it is...: Heb. I am not so with myself}
