Job 9:28

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that thou wilt not hold me innocent.

For when I ponder and consider this, I am afraid, and my flesh is smitten with fear.

I am in misery, and like unto him that is at the point to die; even from my youth up, thy terrors have I suffered with a troubled mind.

My flesh trembleth for fear of thee; and I am afraid of thy judgments.

"I know it is so of a truth: for how may a man, compared unto God, be justified?

"For thou hast numbered all my goings, yet be not thou too extreme upon my sins.

"Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain, for the LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh his name in vain.

If thou, LORD wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O LORD who may abide it?
