Job 9:25-35 - My Life Is Speeding By
25 "And my days are swifter than a runner; they flee away; they do not see good. 26 They go by like papyrus skiffs, like an eagle swoops down on [its] prey. 27 Though {I say}, 'I will forget my complaint; I will change my expression, and I will rejoice,' 28 I become afraid of all my sufferings; I know that you do not consider me innocent. 29 [If] I shall be [declared] guilty, why then should I labor in vain? 30 If I wash myself with soap, and I cleanse my hands with lye, 31 then you plunge me into the [slime] pit, and my clothes abhor me.
32 "For [he is] not a mortal like me [that] I can answer him, [that] {we can come to trial together}. 33 There is no arbiter between us [that] he might lay his hand on both of us. 34 May he remove his rod from me, and let his dread not terrify me; 35 [then] I would speak and not fear him, for {in myself I am not fearful}.
