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

²⁵ "Now my days are swifter than a runner. They flee away, they see no good, ²⁶ They have passed away as the swift ships, as the eagle that swoops on the prey. ²⁷ If I say, 'I will forget my complaint, I will put off my sad face, and cheer up;' ²⁸ I am afraid of all my sorrows, I know that you will not hold me innocent. ²⁹ I shall be condemned. Why then do I labor in vain? ³⁰ If I wash myself with snow, and cleanse my hands with lye, ³¹ yet you will plunge me in the ditch. My own clothes shall abhor me.

³² For he is not a man, as I am, that I should answer him, that we should come together in judgment. ³³ There is no umpire between us, that might lay his hand on us both. ³⁴ Let him take his rod away from me. Let his terror not make me afraid; ³⁵ then I would speak, and not fear him, for I am not so in myself.
