Job 33:10

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

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

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

""Woe to me if I'm guilty! If I'm innocent, I cannot lift my head, because I am filled with disgrace. Look at my affliction!

Are you a god who would make a leaf tremble or who would prosecute a dry straw?

Then you'll certainly count every step I took, but you won't keep an inventory of my sin.

Now this is Job's claim: "Even though I'm innocent, God has stopped treating me righteously.

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

His anger tears me in his persistent resentment against me; he gnashes his teeth at me. My adversary glares at me.

His anger burns against me; he regards me as his adversary.

You changed toward me, and now you're cruel to me; with your mighty hand you are persecuting me;

"Who will grant me a hearing? Here's my signature let the Almighty answer! Since my adversary indicted me,

When he began speaking, he communicated only worthlessness; he added words upon words without knowing anything."
