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 think about this, I am terrified and my body feels a shudder.

I am oppressed and have been on the verge of death since my youth. I have been subjected to your horrors and am numb with pain.

My body trembles because I fear you; I am afraid of your judgments.

"Truly, I know that this is so. But how can a human be just before God?

"Surely now you count my steps; then you would not mark my sin.

"You shall not take the name of the Lord your God in vain, for the Lord will not hold guiltless anyone who takes his name in vain.

If you, O Lord, were to keep track of sins, O Lord, who could stand before you?
