Job 9:25-35 - My Life Is Speeding By

²⁵ My days go quicker than a post-runner: they go in flight, they see no good. ²⁶ They go rushing on like reed-boats, like an eagle dropping suddenly on its food. ²⁷ If I say, I will put my grief out of mind, I will let my face be sad no longer and I will be bright; ²⁸ I go in fear of all my pains; I am certain that I will not be free from sin in your eyes. ²⁹ You will not let me be clear of sin! why then do I take trouble for nothing? ³⁰ If I am washed with snow water, and make my hands clean with soap; ³¹ Then you will have me pushed into the dust, so that I will seem disgusting to my very clothing.

³² For he is not a man as I am, that I might give him an answer, that we might come together before a judge. ³³ There is no one to give a decision between us, who might have control over us. ³⁴ Let him take away his rod from me and not send his fear on me: ³⁵ Then I would say what is in my mind without fear of him; for there is no cause of fear in myself.
