Job 9:18-25
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
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.
22
It is
all
one; therefore I say,
‘He destroys the guiltless and the wicked.’
23
If the whip kills suddenly,
He mocks the despair of the innocent.
24
The earth is handed over to the wicked;
He covers the faces of its judges.
If
it is
not
He,
then who is it?
25
'Now my days are swifter than a runner;
They flee away, they see no good.
King James Version
Chapter 9
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.
22
This is one thing, therefore I said it, He destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
23
If the scourge slay suddenly, he will laugh at the trial of the innocent.
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?
25
Now my days are swifter than a post: they flee away, they see no good.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
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.
22
It is all the same. Therefore I say,
"He destroys both the blameless and the wicked."
23
When catastrophe brings sudden death,
he mocks the despair of the innocent.
24
The earth is handed over to the wicked;
he blindfolds its judges.
If it isn’t he, then who is it?
25
My days fly by faster than a runner;
they flee without seeing any good.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
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.
22
Innocent or wicked, it is all the same to God.
That’s why I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23
When a plague sweeps through,
he laughs at the death of the innocent.
24
The whole earth is in the hands of the wicked,
and God blinds the eyes of the judges.
If he’s not the one who does it, who is?
25
'My life passes more swiftly than a runner.
It flees away without a glimpse of happiness.
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
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.
22
It is all one; therefore I say,
‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23
When disaster brings sudden death,
he mocks at the calamity 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 then is it?
25
"My days are swifter than a runner;
they flee away; they see no good.
New International Version
Chapter 9
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.
22
It is all the same; that is why I say,
‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23
When a scourge brings sudden death,
he mocks the despair of the innocent.
24
When a land falls into the hands of the wicked,
he blindfolds its judges.
If it is not he, then who is it?
25
"My days are swifter than a runner;
they fly away without a glimpse of joy.
New King James Version
Chapter 9
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.
