Job 9

Verses of Job 9 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Then Job answered and said:
2 - "Truly I know it is so, But how can a man be righteous before God?
3 - If one wished to contend with Him, He could not answer Him one time out of a thousand.
4 - God is wise in heart and mighty in strength. Who has hardened himself against Him and prospered?
5 - He removes the mountains, and they do not know When He overturns them in His anger;
6 - He shakes the earth out of its place, And its pillars tremble;
7 - He commands the sun, and it does not rise; He seals off the stars;
8 - He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea;
9 - He made the Bear, Orion, and the Pleiades, And the chambers of the south;
10 - He does great things past finding out, Yes, wonders without number.
11 - If He goes by me, I do not see Him; If He moves past, I do not perceive Him;
12 - If He takes away, who can hinder Him? Who can say to Him, "What are You doing?'
13 - God will not withdraw His anger, The allies of the proud lie prostrate beneath Him.
14 - "How then can I answer Him, And choose my words to reason with Him?
15 - For though I were righteous, I could not answer Him; I would beg mercy of my Judge.
16 - If I called and He answered me, I would not believe that He was listening to my voice.
17 - For He crushes me with a tempest, And multiplies my wounds without cause.
18 - He will not allow me to catch my breath, But fills me with bitterness.
19 - If it is a matter of strength, indeed He is strong; And if of justice, who will appoint my day in court?
20 - Though I were righteous, my own mouth would condemn me; Though I were blameless, it would prove me perverse.
21 - "I am blameless, yet I do not know myself; I despise my life.
22 - It is all one thing; Therefore I say, "He destroys the blameless and the wicked.'
23 - If the scourge slays suddenly, He laughs at the plight of the innocent.
24 - The earth is given into the hand of the wicked. He covers the faces of its judges. If it is not He, who else could it be?
25 - "Now my days are swifter than a runner; They flee away, they see no good.
26 - They pass by like swift ships, Like an eagle swooping on its prey.
27 - If I say, "I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face and wear a smile,'
28 - I am afraid of all my sufferings; I know that You will not hold me innocent.
29 - If I am condemned, Why then do I labor in vain?
30 - If I wash myself with snow water, And cleanse my hands with soap,
31 - Yet You will plunge me into the pit, And my own clothes will abhor me.
32 - "For He is not a man, as I am, That I may answer Him, And that we should go to court together.
33 - Nor is there any mediator between us, Who may lay his hand on us both.
34 - Let Him take His rod away from me, And do not let dread of Him terrify me.
35 - Then I would speak and not fear Him, But it is not so with me.
