Job 9:21

I am blameless! Yet I do not know myself. And I despise my life.

A man named Job lived in Uz. He was a man of integrity! He was decent, he respected God, and he stayed away from evil.

I would rather die of strangulation than go on and on like this.

Why not just pardon my sin and take away my guilt? For soon I will lie down in the dust and die. When you look for me, I will be gone.

Examine me, O God, and know my heart. Test me and know my anxious (troubled) (painful) (disturbing) thoughts.

He who trusts in his own heart is a fool. He who walks wisely will be delivered.

The heart is more deceitful than all else and is desperately corrupt. Who can understand it?

I know nothing against myself. Yet this does not acquit me, but he that judges me is God.

If our heart condemns us, God is greater than our heart, and knows all things.
