1: Then Job answered and said:
2: “Truly I know that it is so: But how can a man be in the right before God?
3: If one wished to contend with him, one could not answer him once in a thousand times.
4: He is wise in heart and mighty in strength —who has hardened himself against him, and succeeded?—
5: he who removes mountains, and they know it not, when he overturns them in his anger,
6: who shakes the earth out of its place, and its pillars tremble;
7: who commands the sun, and it does not rise; who seals up the stars;
8: who alone stretched out the heavens and trampled the waves of the sea;
9: who made the Bear and Orion, the Pleiades and the chambers of the south;
10: who does great things beyond searching out, and marvelous things beyond number.
11: Behold, he passes by me, and I see him not; he moves on, but I do not perceive him.
12: Behold, he snatches away; who can turn him back? Who will say to him, ‘What are you doing?’
13: “God will not turn back his anger; beneath him bowed the helpers of Rahab.
14: How then can I answer him, choosing my words with him?
15: Though I am in the right, I cannot answer him; I must appeal for mercy to my accuser.
16: If I summoned him and he answered me, I would not believe that he was listening to my voice.
17: For he crushes me with a tempest and multiplies my wounds without cause;
18: he will not let me get my breath, but fills me with bitterness.
19: If it is a contest of strength, behold, he is mighty! If it is a matter of justice, who can summon him?
20: Though I am in the right, my own mouth would condemn me; though I am blameless, he would prove me perverse.
21: I am blameless; I regard not myself; I loathe my life.
22: It is all one; therefore I say, ‘He destroys both the blameless and the wicked.’
23: When disaster brings sudden death, he mocks at the calamity of the innocent.
24: The earth is given into the hand of the wicked; he covers the faces of its judges— if it is not he, who then is it?
25: “My days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they see no good.
26: They go by like skiffs of reed, like an eagle swooping on the prey.
27: If I say, ‘I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and be of good cheer,’
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.
