Job 9:12-21
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
12
If He were to snatch away, who could restrain Him?
Who could say to Him, ‘What are You doing?’
13
'God will not turn back His anger;
Beneath Him the helpers of Rahab cower.
14
How then can I answer Him,
And
choose my words before Him?
15
For though I were right, I could not answer;
I would have to implore the mercy of my Judge.
16
If I called and He answered me,
I could not believe that He was listening to my voice.
17
For He bruises me with a storm
And multiplies my wounds without cause.
18
He will not allow me to get my breath,
But He saturates me with bitterness.
19
If
it is a matter
of power, behold,
He is
the strong one!
And if
it is a matter
of justice, who can summon Him?
20
Though I am righteous, my mouth will condemn me;
Though I am guiltless, He will declare me guilty.
21
I am guiltless;
I do not take notice of myself;
I reject my life.
King James Version
Chapter 9
12
Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say unto him, What doest thou?
13
If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers do stoop under him.
14
How much less shall I answer him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
15
Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answer, but I would make supplication to my judge.
16
If I had called, and he had answered me; yet would I not believe that he had hearkened unto my voice.
17
For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
18
He will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitterness.
19
If I speak of strength, lo, he is strong: and if of judgment, who shall set me a time to plead?
20
If I justify myself, mine own mouth shall condemn me: if I say, I am perfect, it shall also prove me perverse.
21
Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soul: I would despise my life.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
12
If he snatches something, who can stop him?
Who can ask him, "What are you doing?"
13
God does not hold back his anger;
Rahab’s assistants cringe in fear beneath him!
14
How then can I answer him
or choose my arguments against him?
15
Even if I were in the right, I could not answer.
I could only beg my Judge for mercy.
16
If I summoned him and he answered me,
I do not believe he would pay attention to what I said.
17
He batters me with a whirlwind
and multiplies my wounds without cause.
18
He doesn’t let me catch my breath
but fills me with bitter experiences.
19
If it is a matter of strength, look, he is the powerful one!
If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?
20
Even if I were in the right, my own mouth would condemn me;
if I were blameless, my mouth would declare me guilty.
21
Though I am blameless,
I no longer care about myself;
I renounce my life.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
12
If he snatches someone in death, who can stop him?
Who dares to ask, ‘What are you doing?’
13
And God does not restrain his anger.
Even the monsters of the sea are crushed beneath his feet.
14
'So who am I, that I should try to answer God
or even reason with him?
15
Even if I were right, I would have no defense.
I could only plead for mercy.
16
And even if I summoned him and he responded,
I’m not sure he would listen to me.
17
For he attacks me with a storm
and repeatedly wounds me without cause.
18
He will not let me catch my breath,
but fills me instead with bitter sorrows.
19
If it’s a question of strength, he’s the strong one.
If it’s a matter of justice, who dares to summon him to court?
20
Though I am innocent, my own mouth would pronounce me guilty.
Though I am blameless, it would prove me wicked.
21
'I am innocent,
but it makes no difference to me —
I despise my life.
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
12
Behold, he snatches away; who can turn him back?
Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
13
"God will not turn back his anger;
beneath him bowed the helpers of Rahab.
14
How then can I answer him,
choosing my words with him?
15
Though I am in the right, I cannot answer him;
I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.
16
If I summoned him 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 let me get my breath,
but fills me with bitterness.
19
If it is a contest of strength, behold, he is mighty!
If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?
20
Though I am in the right, my own mouth would condemn me;
though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse.
21
I am blameless; I regard not myself;
I loathe my life.
New International Version
Chapter 9
12
If he snatches away, who can stop him?
Who can say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
13
God does not restrain his anger;
even the cohorts of Rahab cowered at his feet.
14
"How then can I dispute with him?
How can I find words to argue with him?
15
Though I were innocent, I could not answer him;
I could only plead with my Judge for mercy.
16
Even if I summoned him and he responded,
I do not believe he would give me a hearing.
17
He would crush me with a storm
and multiply my wounds for no reason.
18
He would not let me catch my breath
but would overwhelm me with misery.
19
If it is a matter of strength, he is mighty!
And if it is a matter of justice, who can challenge him ?
20
Even if I were innocent, my mouth would condemn me;
if I were blameless, it would pronounce me guilty.
21
"Although I am blameless,
I have no concern for myself;
I despise my own life.
New King James Version
Chapter 9
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.
