Job 33:10

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Behold, he findeth occasions against me, he counteth me for his enemy,

If I wash myself with snow and cleanse my hands with lye,

If I am guilty, woe to me! If I am in the right, I cannot lift up my head, for I am filled with disgrace and look on my affliction.

Will you frighten a driven leaf and pursue dry chaff?

For then you would number my steps; you would not keep watch over my sin;

For Job has said, 'I am in the right, and God has taken away my right;

Why do you hide your face and count me as your enemy?

He has torn me in his wrath and hated me; he has gnashed his teeth at me; my adversary sharpens his eyes against me.

He has kindled his wrath against me and counts me as his adversary.

You have turned cruel to me; with the might of your hand you persecute me.

Oh, that I had one to hear me! (Here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!) Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!

Job opens his mouth in empty talk; he multiplies words without knowledge."
