1 Then Job answered and said, Cross refs
2 I know it is so of a truth: but how should man be just with God? Cross refs
3 If he will contend with him, he cannot answer him one of a thousand. Cross refs
4 He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath hardened himself against him, and hath prospered? Cross refs
5 Which removeth the mountains, and they know not: which overturneth them in his anger. Cross refs
6 Which shaketh the earth out of her place, and the pillars thereof tremble. Cross refs
7 Which commandeth the sun, and it riseth not; and sealeth up the stars. Cross refs
8 Which alone spreadeth out the heavens, and treadeth upon the waves of the sea. Cross refs
9 Which maketh Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the chambers of the south. Cross refs
10 Which doeth great things past finding out; yea, and wonders without number. Cross refs
11 Lo, he goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceive him not. Cross refs
12 Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou? Cross refs
13 If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him. Cross refs
14 How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him? Cross refs
15 Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge. Cross refs
16 If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice. Cross refs
17 For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause. Cross refs
18 He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness. Cross refs
19 If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead? Cross refs
20 If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse. Cross refs
21 Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life. Cross refs
22 This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked. Cross refs
23 If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent. Cross refs
24 The earth is given into the hand of the wicked: he covereth the faces of the judges thereof; if not, where, and who is he? Cross refs
25 Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good. Cross refs
26 They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey. Cross refs
27 If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself: Cross refs
28 I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent. Cross refs
29 If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain? Cross refs
30 If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean; Cross refs
31 Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me. Cross refs
32 For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment. Cross refs
33 Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both. Cross refs
34 Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me: Cross refs
35 Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
