New Living Translation

Job 9:30-34 New Living Translation (NLT)

30. Even if I were to wash myself with soapand 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.
