Amplified Bible

Job 9:10-22 Amplified Bible (AMP)

10. Who does great things past finding out, yes, marvelous things without number.

11. Behold, He goes by me, and I see Him not; He passes on also, but I perceive Him not.

12. Behold, He snatches away; who can hinder or turn Him back? Who will say to Him, What are You doing?

13. God will not withdraw His anger; the [proud] helpers of Rahab [arrogant monster of the sea] bow under Him.

14. How much less shall I answer Him, choosing out my words to reason with Him

15. Whom, though I were righteous (upright and innocent) yet I could not answer? I must appeal for mercy to my Opponent and Judge [for my right].

16. If I called and He answered me, yet would I not believe that He listened to my voice.

17. For He overwhelms and breaks 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 I speak of strength, behold, He is mighty! And if of justice, Who, says He, will summon Me?

20. Though I am innocent and in the right, my own mouth would condemn me; though I am blameless, He would prove me perverse.

21. Though I am blameless, I regard not myself; I despise my life.

22. It is all one; therefore I say, God [does not discriminate, but] destroys the blameless and the wicked.
