Job - Chapter: 9


9:1	Then Iob answered, and said,
9:2	I know it is so of a trueth: but howe should man be iust with God.
9:3	If he will contend with him, he cannot answere him one of a thousand.
9:4	He is wise in heart, and mightie in strength: who hath hardened himselfe against him, and hath prospered?
9:5	Which remoueth the mountains, and they know not: which ouerturneth them in his anger:
9:6	Which shaketh the earth out of her place, & the pillars thereof tremble:
9:7	Which commandeth the Sunne, and it riseth not: and sealeth vp the starres.
9:8	Which alone spreadeth out the heauens, and treadeth vpon the waues of the Sea.
9:9	Which maketh Arcturus, Orion and Pleiades, and the chambers of the South.
9:10	Which doeth great things past finding out, yea and wonders without number.
9:11	Loe, hee goeth by me, and I see him not: he passeth on also, but I perceiue him not.
9:12	Behold, he taketh away, who can hinder him? who will say vnto him, What doest thou?
9:13	If God will not withdraw his anger, the proud helpers doe stoupe vnder him.
9:14	How much lesse shall I answere him, and choose out my words to reason with him?
9:15	Whom, though I were righteous, yet would I not answere, but I would make supplication to my Iudge.
9:16	If I had called, and had answered me, yet would I not beleeue that he had hearkened vnto my voice:
9:17	For he breaketh me with a tempest, and multiplieth my wounds without cause.
9:18	Hee will not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse.
9:19	If I speake of strength, loe, hee is strong: and if of iudgement, who shall set me a time to pleade?
9:20	If I iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne me: If I say, I am perfect, it shall also prooue me peruerse.
9:21	Though I were perfect, yet would I not know my soule: I would despise my life.
9:22	This is one thing, therefore I said it; he destroyeth the perfect and the wicked.
9:23	If the scourge slay suddenly, hee will laugh at the triall of the innocent.
9:24	The earth is giuen into the hand of the wicked: he couereth the faces of the Iudges thereof; if not, where, and who is hee?
9:25	Now my dayes are swifter then a Poste: they flee away, they see no good.
9:26	They are passed away as the ships: as the Eagle that hasteth to the pray.
9:27	If I say, I will forget my complaint, I will leaue off my heauinesse, and comfort my selfe.
9:28	I am afraid of all my sorrowes, I know that thou wilt not holde me innocent.
9:29	If I be wicked, why then labour I in vaine?
9:30	If I wash my selfe with snow water, and make my handes neuer so cleane:
9:31	Yet shalt thou plunge me in the ditch, and mine owne clothes shall abhorre me.
9:32	For he is not a man as I am, that I should answere him, and we should come together in iudgement.
9:33	Neither is there any dayes-man betwixt vs, that might lay his hand vpon vs both.
9:34	Let him take his rodde away from me, & let not his feare terrifie me:
9:35	Then would I speake, and not feare him; but it is not so with me.


9:1	Then Iob answered, and sayd,
9:2	I knowe verily that it is so: for howe should man compared vnto God, be iustified?
9:3	If I would dispute with him, hee could not answere him one thing of a thousand.
9:4	He is wise in heart, and mighty in strength: who hath bene fierce against him and hath prospered?
9:5	He remoueth the mountaines, and they feele not when he ouerthroweth them in his wrath.
9:6	Hee remooueth the earth out of her place, that the pillars thereof doe shake.
9:7	He commandeth the sunne, and it riseth not: hee closeth vp the starres, as vnder a signet.
9:8	Hee himselfe alone spreadeth out the heauens, and walketh vpon the height of the sea.
9:9	He maketh the starres Arcturus, Orion, and Pleiades, and the climates of the South.
9:10	He doeth great things, and vnsearcheable: yea, marueilous things without nomber.
9:11	Lo, when he goeth by me, I see him not: and when he passeth by, I perceiue him not.
9:12	Behold, when he taketh a pray, who can make him to restore it? who shall say vnto him, What doest thou?
9:13	God will not withdrawe his anger, and the most mightie helpes doe stoupe vnder him.
9:14	Howe much lesse shall I answere him? or howe should I finde out my words with him?
9:15	For though I were iust, yet could I not answere, but I would make supplication to my Iudge.
9:16	If I cry, and he answere me, yet woulde I not beleeue, that he heard my voyce.
9:17	For he destroyeth mee with a tempest, and woundeth me without cause.
9:18	He wil not suffer me to take my breath, but filleth me with bitternesse.
9:19	If we speake of strength, behold, he is strog: if we speake of iudgement, who shall bring me in to pleade?
9:20	If I woulde iustifie my selfe, mine owne mouth shall condemne mee: if I would be perfite, he shall iudge me wicked.
9:21	Though I were perfite, yet I knowe not my soule: therefore abhorre I my life.
9:22	This is one point: therefore I said, Hee destroyeth the perfite and the wicked.
9:23	If the scourge should suddenly slay, should God laugh at the punishment of the innocent?
9:24	The earth is giuen into the hand of ye wicked: he couereth the faces of the iudges therof: if not, where is he? or who is he?
9:25	My dayes haue bene more swift then a post: they haue fled, and haue seene no good thing.
9:26	They are passed as with the most swift ships, and as the eagle that flyeth to the pray.
9:27	If I say, I wil forget my complaynt, I will cease from my wrath, and comfort mee,
9:28	Then I am afrayd of all my sorowes, knowing that thou wilt not iudge me innocent.
9:29	If I be wicked, why labour I thus in vaine?
9:30	If I wash my selfe with snowe water, and purge mine hands most cleane,
9:31	Yet shalt thou plunge mee in the pit, and mine owne clothes shall make me filthie.
9:32	For he is not a man as I am, that I shoulde answere him, if we come together to iudgement.
9:33	Neyther is there any vmpire that might lay his hand vpon vs both.
9:34	Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his feare astonish me:
9:35	Then will I speake, and feare him not: but because I am not so, I holde me still.


9:1	Iob answered, & sayde:
9:2	I know it is so of a treuthe: For how maye a man (compared vnto God) be iustifyed?
9:3	If he will argue with him, he shall not be able to answere hym vnto one amonge a thousande.
9:4	Concernynge soch as be wyse of herte, or myghtye in strength, who euer prospered, that toke part against hym?
9:5	He translateth the mountaynes, or euer they be aware. It is he that ouerthroweth them in hys wrath.
9:6	He remoueth the earthe oute of her place, that the pylers therof shake with all.
9:7	He commaundeth the sonne, and it riseth not: he closeth vp the starres, as it were vnder a sygnett.
9:8	He him self alone spredeth out the heauens, and goeth vpon the waues of the see.
9:9	He maketh the waynes of heauen the Orion the seuen starres, and the secrete places of the south.
9:10	He doth greate thynges, soch as are vnsearcheable, yee, and wonders withoute nombre.
9:11	Lo, whan he goeth ouer by me, I shall not se hym. And whan he departeth, by me, I shall not loke vpon hym. I shall not perceaue hym.
9:12	If he be hasty to take eny thynge awaye, who wyll make him restore it agayne? Or who wyll saye vnto hym what doest thou?
9:13	He is God, whose wrath no man maye withstande: but the proudest of all must stoupe vnder hym.
9:14	How shulde I then answere hym? Or what wordes shulde I fynde oute agaynst hym?
9:15	Yee, though I were ryghteous, yet myght I not geue hym one worde agayne, but mekely submytte my self to hym as my iudge.
9:16	Yf I had called vpon hym, and he had answered me: yet wold I not beleue, that he herd my voyce:
9:17	he troubleth me so with the tempest, and woundeth me out of measure without a cause.
9:18	He wyll not lett my sprete be in rest, but fylleth me wt bytternesse.
9:19	If men wyll speake of strength, lo, he is stronge: yf men wyll speake of ryghteousnes, who darre be my recorde.
9:20	If I wyll iustifye my selfe, my awne mouth shall condempne me: yf I wyll put forth my selfe for a perfecte man, he shall proue me a wycked doer.
9:21	For though I be an innocent, and my conscience cleare, yet am I weery of my lyfe
9:22	One thyng it is and therfore I sayed. He destroyeth both the righteous and vngodly.
9:23	And though he staye sodenly with the scourge, yet wyll he laugh at the punyshement of the innocent.
9:24	As for the worlde, it is geuen ouer into the hand of the wicked, and he shal couer the faces of the iudges therof. Is it not so? where is there eny, but he is soch one?
9:25	My dayes are more swyfte then a runner: they are gone & haue sene no good thing.
9:26	They are passed awaye, as the shyppes that be good vnder sayle, and as the aegle that flieth to the praye.
9:27	When I am purposed to forget my complayning, to leaue of fro my wrath, and to comforte my selfe,
9:28	then am I afrayed of all my sorowes, for I knowe, that thou wylt not iudge me innocent.
9:29	If I be then a wicked doer, why laboure I in vayne?
9:30	If I washe my selfe with snowe water, and make myne handes neuer so cleane, at the wel,
9:31	yet shalt thou dyppe me in the myer: and myne awne clothes shall defyle me.
9:32	For he that I must geue answere vnto, and with whom I go to lawe, is not a man as I am.
9:33	Nether is there eny dayesman to laye hys hande betwene vs.
9:34	Lett hym take hys rod awaye fro me, yee, lett him make me nomore afrayed of him,
9:35	and then shall I answere him without eny feare. For as longe as it is thus, I can make no answere.
