Job 9:24-32
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
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.
26
They slip by like reed boats,
Like an eagle that swoops on its prey.
27
Though I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,
I will put my face in order and be cheerful,’
28
I am afraid of all my pains,
I know that You will not acquit me.
29
I am guilty,
Why then should I struggle in vain?
30
If I washed myself with snow,
And cleansed my hands with lye,
31
Then You would plunge me into the pit,
And my own clothes would loathe me.
32
For
He is
not a man, as I am, that I may answer Him—
That we may go to court together!
King James Version
Chapter 9
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.
26
They are passed away as the swift ships: as the eagle that hasteth to the prey.
27
If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leave off my heaviness, and comfort myself:
28
I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.
29
If I be wicked, why then labour I in vain?
30
If I wash myself with snow water, and make my hands never so clean;
31
Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine own clothes shall abhor me.
32
For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, and we should come together in judgment.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
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.
26
They sweep by like boats made of papyrus,
like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
27
If I said, "I will forget my complaint,
change my expression, and smile,"
28
I would still live in terror of all my pains.
I know you will not acquit me.
29
Since I will be found guilty,
why should I struggle in vain?
30
If I wash myself with snow,
and cleanse my hands with lye,
31
then you dip me in a pit of mud,
and my own clothes despise me!
32
For he is not a man like me, that I can answer him,
that we can take each other to court.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
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.
26
It disappears like a swift papyrus boat,
like an eagle swooping down on its prey.
27
If I decided to forget my complaints,
to put away my sad face and be cheerful,
28
I would still dread all the pain,
for I know you will not find me innocent, O God.
29
Whatever happens, I will be found guilty.
So what’s the use of trying?
30
Even if I were to wash myself with soap
and clean my hands with lye,
31
you would plunge me into a muddy ditch,
and my own filthy clothing would hate me.
32
'God is not a mortal like me,
so I cannot argue with him or take him to trial.
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
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.
26
They go by like skiffs of reed,
like an eagle swooping on the prey.
27
If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,
I will put off my sad face, and be of good cheer,’
28
I become afraid of all my suffering,
for I know you will not hold me innocent.
29
I shall be condemned;
why then do I labor in vain?
30
If I wash myself with snow
and cleanse my hands with lye,
31
yet you will plunge me into a pit,
and my own clothes will abhor me.
32
For he is not a man, as I am, that I might answer him,
that we should come to trial together.
New International Version
Chapter 9
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.
26
They skim past like boats of papyrus,
like eagles swooping down on their prey.
27
If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint,
I will change my expression, and smile,’
28
I still dread all my sufferings,
for I know you will not hold me innocent.
29
Since I am already found guilty,
why should I struggle in vain?
30
Even if I washed myself with soap
and my hands with cleansing powder,
31
you would plunge me into a slime pit
so that even my clothes would detest me.
32
"He is not a mere mortal like me that I might answer him,
that we might confront each other in court.
New King James Version
Chapter 9
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.
