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 water, and cleanse my hands with soap,

If I am wicked, woe to me! Even if I am innocent, I cannot lift my head, for I am full of shame and aware of my affliction.

Will you torment a leaf driven two and fro? Will you chase after dry chaff?

Surely then you will count my steps but not keep track of my sin.

Job has said: 'I am innocent, and God has taken away my right.

Why do you hide your face and consider me your enemy?

His anger has torn me and hunted me down. He has gnashed at me with his teeth. My adversary glares at me.

He is very angry with me. He considers me his enemy.

You have turned cruel to me. With the might of your hand you appose 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.
