Job 9:34

Treasury of Scripture Knowledge

Let him take his rod away from me, and let not his fear terrify me:

Shall he not make you afraid, when he showeth himself? Shall not his terrible face fall upon you?

This is the cause, that I shrink at his presence, so that when I consider him I am afraid of him.

For I have ever feared the vengeance and punishment of God, and knew very well that I was not able to bear his burden.

Therefore, thou needest not be afraid of me, neither needest thou to fear that my authority shall be too heavy for thee.

At this, my heart is astonished, and moved out of his place.

Turn thy plagues away from me, for I am consumed through the fear of thy hand.

But who regardeth the power of thy wrath? For even thereafter as a man feareth, so is thy displeasure.
