Job 9:28-35
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 9
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!
33
There is no arbitrator between us,
Who can place his hand upon us both.
34
Let Him remove His rod from me,
And let not the dread of Him terrify me.
35
Then
I would speak and not fear Him;
But I am not like that in myself.
King James Version
Chapter 9
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.
33
Neither is there any daysman betwixt us, that might lay his hand upon us both.
34
Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:
35
Then would I speak, and not fear him; but it is not so with me.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 9
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.
33
There is no mediator between us,
to lay his hand on both of us.
34
Let him take his rod away from me
so his terror will no longer frighten me.
35
Then I would speak and not fear him.
But that is not the case; I am on my own.
New Living Translation
Chapter 9
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.
33
If only there were a mediator between us,
someone who could bring us together.
34
The mediator could make God stop beating me,
and I would no longer live in terror of his punishment.
35
Then I could speak to him without fear,
but I cannot do that in my own strength.
English Standard Version
Chapter 9
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.
33
There is no arbiter between us,
who might lay his hand on us both.
34
Let him take his rod away from me,
and let not dread of him terrify me.
35
Then I would speak without fear of him,
for I am not so in myself.
New International Version
Chapter 9
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.
33
If only there were someone to mediate between us,
someone to bring us together,
34
someone to remove God’s rod from me,
so that his terror would frighten me no more.
35
Then I would speak up without fear of him,
but as it now stands with me, I cannot.
New King James Version
Chapter 9
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.
