The Scriptures 1998

Job 9:12-19 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. Look, He snatches away, who brings it back? Who says to Him, ‘What are You doing?’

13. Eloah does not turn back His dis-pleasure, the helpers of pride stoop under Him.

14. How much less would I answer Him, choose my words with Him?

15. For though I were righteous, I would not answer Him. I pray to Him for my right-ruling.

16. Though I had called and He answered me, I would not believe that He was listening to my voice.

17. For He crushes me with a storm, and has multiplied my wounds for no cause.

18. He does not allow me to recover my breath, but fills me with bitterness.

19. If I speak of power? Look, He is mighty. And if of right-ruling? Who sets me a time?
